So, I wish I recorded stuff because I just had the most bullshit encounter ever. I sprint attack into the face of a Tactical with Klaw, standard. He then proceeds to Light Attack, which I also hit. His first attack goes through, no biggie it happens a lot lately and I chalk it up to how weapon speed/animations work and I know if he goes for another Light attack he'll clang mine. My attack never goes off and he hits me again, I'm mashing RMB at this point. He hits me again and again and I'm dead. I never once finished a LA animation, just kept going to a crouch position and interrupted. This is not ok. I've only had this extreme case happen once so far but it's quite troubling.
That's a bit bullshit. We had that same problem with powerfists where their windups on Fast Attacks were so long that instead of clanging, you could smack them before they finished, almost like it was a charging Power Attack. If they throw a Fast Attack, even if you're in mid swing/starting up, it should clang. I would probably chalk it up to the fact that the Power Klaw was broken recently, and they "fixed" it, so there's probably a few bugs to iron out. That or you know, the current lag/latency/server/bug issues and the like causing some problems. If it happens again though, or frequently at least, I would put that in the "not a fluke" category and say something about it. I'm still not changing on my stance on Tacs needing more durability in their knives though, that shit needs to happen. I just don't want them to be winning fights on bullshit broken mechanics, we've had enough of that shit.
Getting the same thing. When I see someone has a chainsword or powersword I resign myself to death. Fast attack never clangs, they chop right thru me, if I am not d-bashed. And you can forget the 4 second charge up with power attack. Your dead long before then from multiple things.
