AluminumHaste Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) This used to be great up until the latest major update. You used to be able to jump, then press and hold quick melee "E", and then you'd fly at your target and do a slam attack. Now I can't do a slam attack unless I'm falling, then I can. What gives, why would you change this? Go to 13 seconds in this video I uploaded a while ago: You can see me to a jumping slam attack. DE fix this, you can't do this anymore. Why would you take features OUT? Edited April 28, 2015 by AluminumHaste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokeyoface Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sadly, it's not a bug... *cries in a corner* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.corvon. Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Well, you can jump, aim your sight at the ground, and press E for a stationary slam attack, if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AluminumHaste Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 No it doesn't, it's @(*()$ terrible now. If this is what happens when they have to balance PVE, then get rid of PVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapt0rman Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) With how finicky controlling it with the aiming reticle is, the only consistent way to get a ground slam in the midst of battle was to hold it down. I SERIOUSLY hope this wasn't on purpose. Edited April 28, 2015 by rapt0rman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I SERIOUSLY hope this wasn't on purpose. it was in the patch notes... for 16.3 I think... I'm not sure when it was changed. EDIT: did some checking, it's mentioned as a "FIX" in the 16.4 patch notes, the melee "fix" is at the bottom.

rapt0rman Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 They literally brought it up in a dev stream at one point as a feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AluminumHaste Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Yeah it's in the notes which is why I hate this update. Fixed held melee attacks being usable in mid-air, causing a ‘gliding slam’ onto an area. Slam attacks will now drop players directly to the ground. Seriously, with all the bugs, they use their time to remove a feature that was implented a while ago.....F*** you DE, F***....you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bokeazian Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) i'm really bummed about this too. In no way whatsoever would I have considered this a bug, I used to my advantage all the time, and got decent enough with it that I could fly at an enemy and do a slam attack on their head. DE... Why would you remove this? Who in their right mind would complain about it? Jump > Tap for movement, and Jump > Hold for "gliding slam." It was 136% useful in any situation!!! WTF!!! If you really wanna fix something, DE, how about you fix me not being able to shoot through my Odonata Shield????!!! That's screwed me over PLENTY of times.

You don't glide down, you don't drop down, you simply don't do the melee slam and instead do a normal air attack, unless you're looking straight down or falling.

AluminumHaste Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Yeah exactly, I have only been able to do a melee slam attack like twice now. How do we go about pestering DE to put it back in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdOfSong Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 TL;Diddnt Rage like the rest of you guys. I noticed this when the Bursa event was released. Made it a little harder to play. Some of you should revise your posts. They contain nothing constructive and resort to generic devbashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AluminumHaste Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Well, they deserve it lol, this should never have been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDCoten Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I really wish this was a toggle instead of being removed outright. being able to slam reliably really helps out weapons with great slam attacks like the Jat Kittag, and leaving it up to "am i looking at the right thing on the screen / the right angle" makes slam attacks really finicky.
