[SERIOUS ISSUE] Sprint resetting the ability to aim your guns and shoot.

So much this. I'm just joining servers today to talk to everyone and get their opinions.. so far everyone iv talked to is not liking the delays from runing/swimming/jumping. Most are okay with a delay in between switching between 2 guns but not a sword-gun iv noticed the blocking with the sword is not nearly as good and I was getting hit through my blocks. Making the sword meta very overpowered right now. The overly clunky new gun delays and the overpowered sword meta is a real turn off for me. I'm thinking some of these updates were rushed. A balance to the actual damage output of the guns and the ammo capacity of each type of gun is something I would have balanced. Not adding these clunky delays..

I dont have a problem with this at all, and maybe is intended because it does holster your weapon.

Dont over-exaggerate it. It is not extremely clunky or problematic. When you sprint, your weapon holsters. I am sure they were very much aware of this and is there for a good reason. From what I think, it is nowhere near the same level of clunky as missing sword attacks that have you walk slow.

If you are a gun user, you just have to take that half second extra into consideration. I prefer the controller, and versus gunpowder skeletons I always jump and turn. By that time, it is ready to fire. Just a tiny bit of adjustment is all it requires and itl make sense.

its just the animation for pulling up your gun, its not a bug or an issue

@silenius-x cause with a sword you need to get close to be able to use it. with a gun, oh a guy is about 10 or more meteres away, i have time to pull out my gun and shoot them. with a sword its oh a guy 10 or more metres away im going to pull out my gun. you only use a sword when oh poo a guy is 2 metres away quickkkk i need my sword

@borges1091 yea ok it might be a bug but im not looking at it as an issue, its only like half a second the only time i can imagine you needing to use your gun faster than half a second is if they are point blank, but at that range hipfire aint gon work, so why not use your sword

@silenius-x convince you what?

@silenius-x Hey man,

Yeah ive been playing the game since it came out and this is the absolute worse update they have release.

You can not run and hip fire as it delays for about 1.5 sec.
You can't run and ADS as it has about 2 sec delay.

You cant swim move and ads if you are in a under water fight as you have massive delay trying to get the aim to work.

Also I am still able to double gun and at the same speed as before.

The solution to this issue without breaking the game was to only let us use one gun,

What they have done is a complete and utter mess its literally broken all combat in the game. Good luck running from a skelly with powder keg turning around and shooting them with that delay.

@silenius-x

Hey,

Yeah they took the best part of SoT which was the simple and great working combat and screwed it up plus you can still double shoot like you use to before the update. All you have to do is cycle the weapons and shoot before the animations finish....

@faceyourdemon Hey dude check the video.... I added. Double guns till works..
In fact its basically just as fast as before I submitted a ticket

In fact check more forums posts people are also complaning about it.

Oh snap, dangerous this is .

@silenius-x yeah I have to agree with this. I am fine with having to ready your weapon after you swap, but sprinting shouldn't do it, it's a pain for PVE reasons.

I'm fine with the weapon switch specific animation being forced, that's fine. However going from sprint to weapon draw should remain quick. Here's why:

1. Gunpowder Skeleton's - Indirect buff to Gunpowder Skeletons. With drawing your initial gun taking longer it becomes much more trickier to detonate them at a proper distance. Sure players can adapt, it just feels very clunky considering the sword's draw is smooth.

2. Boarding - This is a slight nerf to boarding, because it limits options players can use when immediately climbing the ladder of a ship. Boarding can already be easily defended, due to players lacking any form of counter besides letting go of the ladder and re grabbing to juke a bullet. Having the option to shoot after immediately letting go of ladder at least gave the option for a player to wound/kill an opponent.

3. Sprinting in fights - Being mobile in this game is in general a good strategy. With the removal of the sword swipe slow kiting isn't really relevant. It would be nice to keep kiting as a relevant strategy.

When it comes to running, its not like you are actually putting away the weapon. From a practical sense you would just be running with the weapon in hand, not holstering.

Also this fixes the bunny hoppers, jumping all about and shooting you

@danzigthegreat1

I didnt really fix anything.... bunny hopper are part of all games thats like saying I just want people to stand still during fights the fact is you cant even run from a gunpowder skelly turn around quickly and shoot him. All combat has been made very sluggish and very non natural I mean.... like in real life you can run and aim? Either way its a fairly terrible solution that did not fix the core problem that was double gunning. All it did was make you sluggish and cause the game to feel just strange and ackward.

@silenius-x I have not had this problem. But, then, I stop sprinting and simply run before I shoot - this in essence, negates the 1 sec cooldown... you are still running while bringing out your weapon.

Basically, anytime you put your weapon away, you get the delay before you shoot as you "ready" the weapon. This makes sense. The way to avoid it when sprinting is to stop sprinting and just run while you are pulling out your weapon.

My question is why are you pulling out a weapon with a gunpowder skellie close enough to be a headache?

@Ticklepantzz In real life you can't effectively sprint and aim.

I'm enjoying the weapon adjustments. Haven't used it in PvP, but skellies are so much more fun to kill now.
