Magcrush + Natural Talent = Busted

[Level_12_Dragonite]

Since U16 launched and the way Crush works was changed it seems  like they forgot to put the damage ticks for Crush on speed with Natural Talent. Using Energy Restores it's possible to "queue up" multiple crushes that will continue to tick for damage overtime while you are able to run around, melee, shoot your gun, cast other powers etc. and to everyone else in the game it appears as tho you're sliding around. The way you can tell it is started happening is that your energy will deplete in rather strange ways, as though you are casting it more than once at the same time.

So what's so strange about it? It only happens client side. As host the ability works fine with Natural Talent.

I urge people to test it out. Just put on max range and efficiency and take some energy restores with you. It's easy to pull this off if you set your energy restores to a hotkey since you place restore plates while casting client side and not as host (another bug?)

The timing on it has to pretty much be back to back if you want to see it.

Bumping. Still an issue, doesn't require natural talent, can be done by either Mag or Mag P and you have to be a client.

When hit with the bug you can still run, shoot, melee, jump and do parkour but you can't switch weapons, revive team mates or activate life support pods. Activating life support pods is a little strange as it leaves you locked into the activation animation and the only way to get out of it is to die, use /unstuck, or leave the game.

Edit: also, can't place energy restores while casting anymore like you used to.

Double Edit: Can be reproduced without Natural Talent so it's not an issue with Natural Talent but a clientside issue with Crush.

Crush is generally broken with recasting, including with the Kamas.

It really doesn't like to be recast over itself, and will do lots of weird things if it is, including playing multiple sounds, taking wrong amounts of energy, etc.
