Xeno super-slash

Post by Sarah_U. » 23 Apr 2017, 17:25

Bug Description:
It've come to the attention of the dev team that ravager charges are buggy, but they're not the only xenos affected.

All xenos with a leap or similar mechanic seem to be able to exploit this bug, even worse so, it can happen without leaping or charging. I've witnessed it during my playthrough and see'ing other xenos playing.
Examples:
A drone slashed 4x a squad leader.
I was able to hit 5 to 10 times a second as a runner after being birthed (Young runner), etc.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Be any xeno whatsoever.
2. Try to use special abilities close to the moment you're interacting with a mob.
3. Try to interact with a mob repeatedly at any given time, especially by clicking rather rapidly while it's not moving much.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Not a bug? The ravager charge is intended atleast, the closer it charges you and thr maturity go into how many slashes it gets, but for the rest I think it's just tickrates and how fast you can click

But it really wasn't explained well

No it isin't, staff has said this is a bug and the devs are fixing it, maturity has nothing to do with how many slashes you get and it seems like while distance plays some part, its not always guaranteed, as ravagers been spotted doing 3 slashes at their max distance.

Hmm. I dunno really, I was told by a moderator some time ago it wasn't a big but maybe it is

Well if the rav charge isn't a bug, having a drone slash you four time in a second is. Also, THAT is the main point of the bug report so.

It's not intended.

Same thing happens with tail slashes, it's very low charge but gets some lucrative extra damage if you macro tail swipe, click on target, and repeat good enough
