Hold Melee for Heavy Melee?

[Derbon_]

Hello. 

It doesn't feel good to have the Heavy Attack on a separate key.  Can we go back to holding down the Melee Attack button to do a Heavy? Could this be done for but Slam Attacks?

This would be a nice toggle instead of having heavy attacks get a dedicated keybind.

 

[Razhius]

Bump.

 

Yes please. I'm sure it shouldn't be a coding problem since this already existed. The only thing they need to change is that it consumes the counter now.

 

DE gimme back hold E for heavy!

[V0LK]

Please DE! Please do this!

I liked the hold for heavy now I’m fumbling a bit to find another button. I’m sure I’ll get used to it but would’ve liked it to stay the same.

I agree with this, holding E for heavy attacks is much more natural and intuitive instead of pressing a different button.

[Faulcun]

I agree! Throwing the glaive is all wrong now. Especially while dual wielding with a pistol.

Please return heavy attacks to melee hold and simply adjust timing. Right now its making duel wielding too complicated during combat

No, hated pressing and holding to go into a Heavy attack. The new input is much better.

I also point out that I also hated for the "attack" command to get glued on charge while I'm attacking. Having "hold to charge" the heavy attack breaks the fluidity. This is the 2nd time that the Charge Attack mechanic got switched to Heavy Attack, and people aren't using it for the exact same reason... it charges/winds up before attacking.

I wouldn't mind slower, heavier attacks... but not how it is right now.

That's the problem that DE makes all the times since their so called 'melee 2.0'. They never listen, and just make the replacement rather than give us a chance to switch.

Remember the controls for:
Fus! - normal attacks, quick melee
Fus Ro! - harder swings, currently implemented as meleeing while blocking.
Fus Ro Dah! - heavy attack

Although, with the attack speeds we can have, I understand a separate keybind.

Or we could use a slider in settings to determine the duration of a press required for the attack to turn into heavy.
