I'll clarify more clearly: Speed lunge's full time if not touched is something like 2650ms in code. The time at which you can start the swing during that animation is 2400ms (so 250ms from start time). That doesn't have anything to do with the landing/recovery phase or timing.

The delay should only be ~200 or 250ms so I'm not sure why it would have suddenly jumped to 4 seconds despite testing it before the big release button got pushed.

The delay on the start might be a little too long and is easy to adjust. I do have a handful and a half of things I'd like to add to and change for speed lunge to make it a lot less clunky and generally more versatile and fun (e.g. using it in melee, being able to wallgrab out of it).

The numbers listed in the UI are base damages. There's no actual 1.0x multiplier. This will be changed/fixed in an upcoming update.

Should be fixed in next small patch.

This is actually a missing case that I will add in to be treated more leniently.

Set g_DuelRefillStatsOnKill to 0

Did some testing with different variations of the ACM mechanic and settled on this: Keeping it similar to live where there's no damage boost until you have 4+. The points on both sides gaining ACM which leads to very swingy exchanges and making it hard to track the momentum of the duel were...

Another update: Reverted Mblock timer back to 1500ms. Keeping in the punishment for whiffing but making it more or less once per combo should relieve a lot of the frustration happening currently. Red: Movement re-adjustments. Seems to be a bit too slippery now with the newfound freedom so...

Did some adjustments after watching dueling and what I thought might need to be adjusted: Red startup speed reduction (was 1.45x increase -> 1.25x). Should still be noticeably better but not quite as overbearing. Removed the ACM all contact part of Yellow slap perk. Removed extra damage on...

After 5 years of on and off work with quite a few hitches along the way, I’m happy to announce that things are finally in place to have the official beta for the saber changes. For the past year, there’s been a couple issues blocking progress. However, in working on some of the cool new stuff...

I'll probably address it in a non-technical paragraph or two at some point when it's in full open testing but more or less the easy way to understand it would be: - Full defensive stance (default block stance) = can PB/Mblock for full damage reduction with ACM not getting modified for the...

While many would say that 1.4.9 was the last non-janky build, I think many would also say that having perks and such being removed was a pretty big hit to enjoying the system. A lot of the styles have also felt largely samey aside from red which I think is a sad part of the system that never...

I would agree in general that many of the previous attempts at "fixing" sabering have largely had errors because of the same reason: small groups of people with similar ideas that largely just do what suits their own playstyles and flipflopping many parts of the system from one extreme of design...

Fixed.
