During today's delightful excursion into the world of the playtest server I won alot of duels, lost alot of duels, reported a few bugs, learned all about the system, then realized everything I learned was wrong.
Many of my other issues have been covered in other threads, but this one remains untouched. How are special abilities meant to function in CR 2.0?
At first, I thought it was a one-click deal. Just click the special, let it blink until it goes through or you need to switch it. That worked well for awhile, until I met a karate master from Recursion (you know who you are). Using my one-click system, my specials went through infrequently, but at about the same rate as everyone else - enough to hold my own. Against this guy, his specials came out WAY more often than mine, and did unrecoverable damage. I asked him what his secret was, and he said "spam". He was just clicking the move repeatedly until it went through. I was shocked and appalled. Could such a thing work in the brave new world of CR 2.0? I needed a rematch to find out. This time I abbandoned my one-click approach and went spam city on pistol aerial and execution. Sure enough, the moves came out back to back, and I handed the karate man a resounding defeat. This brings me back to my original point; How is this SUPPOSED to be Devs? If spam city was the goal, then we've got it, but if not, I think this is a really bad bug and needs fixing.
If you don't believe me, try it yourself. Better still, even if you do believe me, try it yourself - run some tests and figure out what the deal is with the spam.
P.S. Free-fire Melee does WAY too much damage. That and Duelist abilities should work on the run. Biased postscript over.
