Quickswap should NOT be deleted

  • So basically when i was a bit worse at The game and I tried double gun it was horrible tho. When i discovered quickswap every thing changed the fluidity of the game was just so much better and by removing this you are Also removing a skill for ppl who have been double gunning for some time. Also when u remove quickswap there will be almost no way in defeating a sword spammer. You r Also removing a meta that many ppl got good at. This is not ok

  • Seems alright to me! Sword and gun was the way SOT was meant to be played.

  • @metal-ravage Since when was that supposed to be the meta if double gun exists

    Since the game got released. Quick swapping was just an exploit anyway and it's time to get rid of it.

    Quickswappers are way easier to sword spam regularly because they are so focused on being fast and flashy that they make more mistakes and miss more often which makes it much easier to slice and dice.

    People will be fine, they will adapt.

  • Its not a skill, its an exploit that people have wanted fixed for quite some time. I get that it can be hard to relearn muscle memory, but you can.

    Metas change, and people learn. So many games change and balance things that destroy the current "meta", and people always learn new skills.

  • Lol chop chop for you

  • Want to stop a sword, carry one. Want to use double gun still, you can! It will still be meta but you're going to have to use skill to better space yourself from other users like how the game is intended to be.

    Choose firepower, you lose mobility. That is balance.

  • @finnyyapper7735 honestly I double gun without consistently quick swapping. Blunder will still knockback enough to give time to snipe, you still need to have good movement to give opportunity to shoot them.

    The main difference will be the delay may give the more consistent players time to heal between shots which does open up a whole new extended fight

  • It is not a skill, it is an exploit and an unintended game mechanic that is being fixed

  • Guys i hear what u r saying but a problem is how are u gonna get good
    clips now?

  • @finnyyapper7735 I answered that above. Spacing is going to be more important due to the lack of mobility in double gunning through not being able to sprint to fire the 2nd shot. Running at people now as a double gunner against a skilled sword+gun user is a death sentence now, you're going to have to think more about the spacings around you to stop sword users hopping to the side and gaining on you.

  • Lol nope

    I love pvp and I hate when it deteroriate to "how many exploits you can pull off" with broken time to kill for one playstyle it throws away whole balance and eny diversity in pvp.

    It's same stuff like quick bucket that made me unsinkable on sloop as long I was alive (that mean long enough). It is just game breaking and shallows the expirience.

  • @finnyyapper7735 if you can't get gud without a crutch like quick swap then you don't deserve to have it

  • @finnyyapper7735

    This is not a shooter. It was an exploit. It's going away.

  • @finnyyapper7735 by dancing around your corpse once we’ve sworded you to death ;)

  • @metal-ravage Then why would they have the option to use 2 guns?

    Not trying to be snarky, just confused here.

  • @finnyyapper7735 What if you just blocked? Or use the fact that you have the exact same move speed to your advantage.

  • Players can call it what they wish but for me it was cheating so good riddance!

    For the same reason you could revive your crewmates on an enemy ship, but you can't anymore.

    Features meant for pve were being exploited in pvp and the two guns quick swap is one of those exploits.

  • Yeah. Just make everyone carry a sword.

  • by removing this you are Also removing a skill for ppl who have been double gunning for some time.

    Skill? Nah.
    What about the players who rather use a Sword and Gun? It unfair in its own. Everyone should be on equal footing regardless of playstyle.

    Also when u remove quickswap there will be almost no way in defeating a sword spammer.

    Distance, blunderbombs, good sword block yourself? In the video recently they said there is time to Defend yourself when being poked by the sword. Not all is lost and I doubt DG will disappear but this way everyone is equal.

    You r Also removing a meta that many ppl got good at. This is not ok

    Not everyone. Not everyone is equal. That is Not Okay.

  • @finnyyapper7735 if you need(ed) exploits to win fights you where never really good at the game to begin with

  • @finnyyapper7735 The 'Quick Swap' exploit IS being removed. More correctly, it is being fixed to fit more in line with what the Developers envisioned when it comes to combat.

    Anyone who relied on 'Quick Switching', knowing that it was unintended and would eventually be fixed, may suffer for a while. Those who are actually good at the game will adapt and adjust to changes in the game and continue to be good, the same as always happens in all games everywhere!


    That being said, the decision has been made and as such this Thread will now be locked.
