ya dont fail me again, young mace.

In all seriousness, I feel like you should touch up even on minor things like the visual pb glitch before you just put out a release. Just doesn't make sense to me that you would release the patch knowing the bug when you can probably fix it in no time.

It wasn't that simple. There was several attempts to fix it in the weeks before the update. All those attempted fixes failed. No point in delaying a release further for that one thing.

I coded this. It was completely self-indulgent and based on a theory of how it might improve my life as a gunner a little bit. I think it did!

(I tried playing without a crosshair and felt an improvement in certain situations but a disadvantage in other situations and figured this could be the best middle ground.)
We finally have someone who is concerned with gunning in the team.
This is like the best change ever. I used to play without crosshair from time to time because it's 1000x better for blasters, but I was missing that first-shot accuracy this added. Such a nice change.

I still just wish all the blocking anims/collisions or whatever else got changed 'feel wise' from 1.4.9 to 1.5 would get reverted. It just feels so weird and It's almost impossible to describe without just playing them side by side. It's not like its a subtle thing either, there really is this huge change in how clunky the game now feels.

I havent been playing much mb2 recently because of that and now MBC is removed i'm just like O _ O cba anymore

As noel said duelling definitely feels like a step back from 1.5. The longer blocking animations and how counters work atm make it feel very clunky and less skillful, not to mention with just a 4 bp regen per pb, passive styles got seriously nerfed. Maybe 8 is still too high but 4 is just too low, maybe try 6 and see how it goes? It might be just me, but I don't enjoy duelling at all since the patch came out.
