    Equipped melee LMB doing nothing

    in General

    Posted

    I know this is a setting (that ive toggled off so that the quick melee is smoother) this means also that when EQUIPPING melee the left mouse button does nothing, so the suggestion when melee is equipped directly the LMB is allways a melee attack, theres no point to have one of the most important buttons do nothing.

     

    This would keep the smoother easier transitions when not Directly equipping melee, but also giving LMB a use when you have hard swapped to your melee weapon

    Current melee is still blegh.

    Yeah I get how that can be annoying.

    The real question I'm asking is how much of a benefit do you get from using combos anyway ?

    Weither I'm carefully doing combos that force slash procs and whatnot, or just mashing melee into oblivion, the result is pretty much the same, stuff dies about as fast.

    Appart from a very select weapons where the mashing combo is annoying (and obviously valkyr that needs that fix), what are you loosing of such importance ?

    Legit asking, in case I'm missing something

    Fun for the most part, but i mainly use rapiers where RMB combo clears adds nicely The held combo forces a finisher and the stadnard combo is best for slash procs, but if your not using combos, we are just back to melee 1.0 and are ignoring all the fun improvments melee 2.0 came with

    Not trying to antagonize here, but I really don't get how horrible yall find this change...

    Sure, for valkyr, as much as I understand her, there are a few changes she needs, completly ok with that.

    But in general, before the change, it never really felt different weither I was mashing quick attack or carefully inputing combos : pretty much anything in front of me would get one shot blender style. Yeah, having the weapon in hand, I could potentialy block the thin, fast moving, black, ancient's tendril with a block... But in the massive visual clutter the game can become, that never occured to me as a realistic plan.

    Now, I can take advantage of the stance without holding f for a second, I can reflex block by pressing f once intead of a second. Sure, we should be able to hold f to lock the melee in hand, to glide and guarantee combos. Although, I want this more for the stylish glide, as I did not have much problem with the block combos so far.

    Having a key thats required for melee combos also pull out your gun is just terribly jarring and messy, oh im trying to do my combo, oh now i have my gun out and im shooting because someone thought having a melee combo button and aim on the same key was a good idea.

     

    It just totally disrupts the flow, and practicaly ruins valkyrs claws.

    Don't forget that all those mods like Electromagnetic Shielding that require you to block manually are now broken and unusable. Auto-block was the dumbest thing DE put into the new melee re-work, imo. Only there for lazy people, or those with no skill at the game.

    You mean you dont think being forced to stop your zenistar disc throw to block a bullet is good gameplay? (while also failing to block that scorpion grapple)

    This is actually an extremely difficult solution. A lot was changed for the current melee system (for example the swapping speed from gunning to melee). DE can't just flip a switch and revert that back. And also if DE gives legacy switches for everything, then there will never be progress...

    Currently id rather have no progress than "this" and im sure having an option to hold F to hard equip a melee weapon would be easy to do... seeing as you allready have that mechanicaly if you dont equip a primary or secondary...

    I used to be a primarily melee player, nowadays i barely use it because of the new "melee" and so far despite a lot of feedback and requests for something like a toggle, ive seen no real mention from the devs about responding to the feedback, and its no longer a case of its new just get used to it.

    Why does RMB aim my gun when im trying to do a combo? why does auto block mess up my inputs? why cant i Glide with a melee weapon? All this would be solved by having the current system AND the ability to hold F to equip our melee weapon like before.

    Warframes gone from one of my favourite games to something i play just to not miss out on nightwaves, because my favourite part of the game has been made an awkward mess for a long time now. Especially if its a frame like valkyr

    I think my favorite part of that video is that you stood next to this guy shooting him for over a minute and a half before the pet AI finally decides to target him for the armor strip. I guess for that to have any reliability you'd need to murder everything else in the area first?

    when it happened it didnt seem to increase the damage he takes at all. so even with an optimized gun and frame it still takes over a min of firing annnd having 0 risk of death.
