In any case, the point is that speed lunge up close wasn't a problem. If you were already shooting at me even as I get close to you and I lunge then you're still going to be hitting me, same as if I were to just get in your face and swing at you. That happens to me a lot actually and I end up off course and completely exposed. The angle doesn't change that much. The main difference is that I'm more vulnerable and I end up further away if it misses or I get shot and redirected, which is usually more disadvantageous for me the speed lunger than it is for you the gunner. Even the argument that being slightly higher up than me, like on the platform at the end of a stairway, or flying away from me as a mando doesn't really hold much weight because I'm at an even better angle for you to shoot me.

Is it frustrating when I hit it? Sure. Is it more annoying than a jedi in your face constantly swing blocking and canceling their swings so they get multiple chances at killing you? Definitely not. This just felt like they wanted to take something fun that less than a handful of people use out of the game for really no reason at all, and as one of those people it's disheartening that my opinion won't matter at all or even get them to reconsider the nerf. I didn't use it because it was good or because it made my job easier, I used it because it was funny and goofy.

Afaik speedlunge in it's current hyper-nerfed state isn't meant to stay that way for long they just prioritized getting some of this QoL stuff out first. The process of testing minor tweaks on one thing means testing a bunch of other related things and that's very time consuming. I'd bet speedlunge is gonna get some love in the future

Why does it need love? It wasn't a good mechanic before, but it was at least fun. Not every feature needs to be absolutely perfect. Sometimes it's in the eyes of beholder. Now it's not a good mechanic, nor is it fun. It's just nerfed into the ground and boring, and the manufactured range limit is terrible and uncomfortable feeling, and it makes me question why these same limits don't apply for a lot of other abilities in the game.

Them saying it'll get some love in the future isn't comforting either. When? 2 months from now? 3 months from now? In the meantime they could just decide they don't really care, but they'll leave speed lunge the way it is so no one wants to use it.

Very doubtful. From my experience, unnecessary changes like this hardly ever get reverted.

I definitely don't expect it to get reverted, which is also why I don't see myself playing again. The last thing I actually enjoyed and they had to ruin it when no one asked for them to. It's like they just wanted me to stop playing or something. lol

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).

Did you even test it? The delay is long enough that you can't even activate your saber before you get locked into the recovery animation. You're literally stuck looking like a complete moron for 4 seconds because you were just a little too close to someone else. That's not good or fun.

Like I said in the other thread, you were better off not touching it at all until you had a concrete idea of what you actually wanted to do with it. Now you've appeased the scrimlords of the community, but everyone else that just used it because it was funny are stuck to deal with it until you decide what you want to do with it. How does that make any sense for a community this small?

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.

A second in the air, a second for the landing and a little more than a second for recovery? Like, you have to stop skidding to a halt before you start recovering. That's a pretty long time to be completely exposed. lol

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.

You can show me numbers but I'll still tell you it feels like shit. Go and use it within what you think the minimum range is and tell me it doesn't feel terrible. When I used it yesterday I wasn't even particularly close to the person I was lunging at and I still wasn't able to activate my saber, then I was locked for what felt like ages.

I'm glad you have come up with a stop-gap solution for the particularly nasty speed lunge interaction that resulted in an unfair death. Little steps in the right direction to restore gun-saber balance.

I'm certain the community's feedback of telling you how to do your (unpaid) job, that you don't care for them, and that you pander to a particular community will motivate you to readdress speed lunge in the very near future! Look forward to seeing what you come up with!
