Critical bug

[Maxstate]

Yawing is back.

 

Not just that, there's a new bug to abuse out there too. Jackbaldy showed it to me today and I was just perplexed at how well it worked.

 

How to reproduce:

Start a combo while your opponent is on your left or right hand side, your attacks will hit his body immediately with only SPLIT SECOND transition animation lengths. Enabling you to hit him lightning fast. I've counted up to 3 strikes per second.

 

I can't reach the bugtracker right now so I was hoping it could also go here.

 

I didn't use any other threads because this is a serious bug that needs more attention than most others, it practically ruins dueling gameplay..

 

Can anyone please check this out?

[JackBaldy]

I tend to disagree that it is a bug, if Razor had the time to view it I am pretty sure he would agree with me. And no, the 3 strikes per second is Juyo.

Ofcourse YOU disagree, you're the only one who uses it and the only one who persists it's not a bug

 

Show some people in a duel and I'm tempted to say that they will pretty much agree that it is a full-fledged bug.

[JackBaldy]

That's just being short sighted and shallow. Just because I can use it well does not mean that I would automatically agree it is not a bug. That's like saying that you will automatically disagree with anyone who thinks Juyo's transitions are too fast because it is your favorite stance. Although it could be the case, not sure.... I don't have anything else to add, at least not until a developer views this and claims it as a bug.

I have already admitted that Juyo's transitions are a slight bit overpowered, and I've also stopped using it ingame untill it gets fixed.

 

Not pointing fingers or anything but I wish you did the same.

 

I'll try to leave it at this.

[JackBaldy]

Max, how many cheap tricks have I done in the past and reported? 009 comes to mind. I just don't think the basis of your argument that because I use it i will automatically agree it is not a bug has anywhere to stand on.

 

"They're fine for me, trust me, most of these 'bugs' are ping related.

Just trust me for once you guys."

 

And this doesn't seem like you admitting anything, but I do recall that post that you made earlier. Anyways, I just wanted to add that little bit of information, take care.

And what basis does this serve for? Did I hint at you holding things back from us? Why are you trying to change the subject?

Why am I even responding to this?

 

"They're fine for me, trust me, most of these 'bugs' are ping related.

Just trust me for once you guys."

This bug might need a little downtone, but it's only very overpowered when there are higher pings involved. But since that's mostly the case now I'd suggest the transitions just be slowed down a bit.

And this doesn't seem like you admitting anything, but I do recall that post that you made earlier. Anyways, I just wanted to add that little bit of information, take care.

Heck, I did it for the lulz.

[JackBaldy]

"And what basis does this serve for? Did I hint at you holding things back from us? Why are you trying to change the subject?

You are basically saying that because it is cheap/exploit/bug (in your opinion) and I use it, that "of course" I disagree it is a bug. And I am explaining that I have reported many cheap things before, none that I have said is not a bug/exploit/blahblah, thus the basis of your argument simply can't stand on it's own. I'm not changing the subject, but you should consider comprehending my posts more before you decide to reply to them.

 

Like I said, what I quoted you on did not seem to say that the transitions are broken but an earlier post from you says they need to be slowed down a bit. A bit of flip flopping if you ask me though. If you take the quote I took on it's own, it basically is saying that they are fine, and obviously they do not seem to be which even you stated in the past.

[Maxstate]

You are basically saying that because it is cheap/exploit/bug (in your opinion) and I use it, that "of course" I disagree it is a bug.

That is exactly what I'm saying.

 

That you have reported things in the past doesn't have anything to do with that.

And I am explaining that I have reported many cheap things before, none that I have said is not a bug/exploit/blahblah, thus the basis of your argument simply can't stand on it's own.

First of all, you and I don't really need to say or prove anything.

I will let the people that know the saber system prove it for us.

 

Second, you are talking jibberish to seem smart.

Just quit the pseudo-intellectual crap.

 

I'm not changing the subject, but you should consider comprehending my posts more before you decide to reply to them.

Okay okay, lets see if I got this wrong some how:

 

First you claimed so:

That's just being short sighted and shallow. Just because I can use it well does not mean that I would automatically agree it is not a bug. That's like saying that you will automatically disagree with anyone who thinks Juyo's transitions are too fast because it is your favorite stance. Although it could be the case, not sure.... I don't have anything else to add, at least not until a developer views this and claims it as a bug.

 

Then after my post explaining that I HAVE admitted it IS overpowered, you saw no real way to further build or dissect on that subject.

What do you do? Well ofcourse, change it!:

 

 

Max, how many cheap tricks have I done in the past and reported? 009 comes to mind. I just don't think the basis of your argument that because I use it i will automatically agree it is not a bug has anywhere to stand on.

 

So what am I missing? You first compare us two, and tell me how I didn't want to admit Juyo was overpowered. After I say I did admit it, and quote myself, you move on and start jibba-jabbin' about how "you always report cheap tricks".

 

Tell me my friend, what am I failing to comprehend?

I think I'm not failing to comprehend anything, I think it's you who doesn't understand what we're talking about here.

 

I'll use more spaces and paragraphs so it's easier to read and digest for you in the future, you could've just asked .

Like I said, what I quoted you on did not seem to say that the transitions are broken but an earlier post from you says they need to be slowed down a bit.

So who fails to comprehend things here?

 

A bit of flip flopping if you ask me though. If you take the quote I took on it's own, it basically is saying that they are fine, and obviously they do not seem to be which even you stated in the past.

 

The quote you took on, which is

"They're fine for me, trust me, most of these 'bugs' are ping related.

Just trust me for once you guys."

 

was referring to

**Makashi has some fast transitions but to a lesser extent than Juyo, may or may not need some looking into.

 

I was referring to Makashi. Not only were you again unable to comprehend my post, you are twisting my words and dissecting my posts as well. AND, if you notice that I said "MOST" of these bugs, not all.

I have no reason to contradict myself, man.

[JackBaldy]

"That is exactly what I'm saying.

 

That you have reported things in the past doesn't have anything to do with that."

 

What it means is that why if I in the past have been known to report broken things which are cheap/exploit/bugs, why would I stop now?

 

"First of all, you and I don't really need to say or prove anything.

I will let the people that know the saber system prove it for us.

 

Second, you are talking jibberish to seem smart.

Just quit the pseudo-intellectual crap. "

 

Well if you're going to go on a forums claiming something then you at least need to back it up otherwise it will most likely be viewed as invalid or just plain wrong. And this is how I type in the forums, much like I type in game, proper.

 

And apologize for making the mistake of quoting you wrong (although it isn't that much of a mistake considering the 'most of these bugs' part, which means more than one etc.). I must have overlooked Makashi. Anyways, in the Templar server you kept using Juyo and those transitions on me until I repeatedly asked for you to stop and then you finally stopped. Which is more where I was getting my assumption from than anything else.

 

And when I said you failed to comprehend my post, you did. There's no where in the post that changes the subject. I'm trying to defend my argument that your argument has no basis to stand on because I have never been known for the sort of behavior that doesn't report or admit cheap/exploits/bugs in the past. Anyways, you can continue to say it is a bug, and that for some reason I have changed my behavior completely opposite from what I have been known to behave like, but it means nothing until Razor or another developer who knows the saber system clarifies it.

[JRHockney*]

Ok, max I just learned how to do this. After learning it, I'm not entirely sure its yawing based since I think I was able to do the same thing at a distance. Whether it speeds up as you get closer needs to be tested a bit more, but I think it was the same speed at a distance. It seems both jack and sushi have know about this for a while now.

 

Anyways, What I think it is is a combination thats based on how the swing to swing transitions work. Since it chooses an new direction with continual attack, it the transitions go fast in certain combos. That side one you mentioned is a particularly interesting example since the transitions choose those directions after a certain button combination.

 

On the up side, it can be stopped with a simple parry thanks to the last changes in the parry code. The downside is, if you dont see it coming and don't parry it, it can do alot of damage and so can other combinations that appearently exist. Its kind of like the comboing in the old Killer Instinct game.

 

Juyo's combination on the side are definitely ALOT faster though because of the way its animation works and it needs to be fixed (ticketed already).

 

HOWEVER, I asked razor about the seeming speed up on these combinations and he said its not intentional and maybe a bug. He needs to see it in action to be certain though and whether or not he even WANTS it to be fixed since it is a pretty interesting side effect that may or may not be overpowered once its understood.

 

Btw, Jack. I also talk to razor about the default saberlockfactor and he said to bug ticket it since we all agreed it was a bad thing. We might also want to make a video of this transition thing since razor doesnt have much time at the moment.

[Maxstate]

 

What it means is that why if I in the past have been known to report broken things which are cheap/exploit/bugs, why would I stop now?

Well I can play the naive game that you want me to play (only because I have to remain civil) that maybe you 'don't know' that this is a bug.

Then I suggest that we stop talking about this and let the professionals see if it's a bug or not. If it is, we fix it, you don't have to worry about anything, heck even you can miss something.

If it is not then I have made a fool out of myself and will withdraw from this argument.

 

I'll play along more; I have also reported broken things in the past, why would I stop now?

 

Well if you're going to go on a forums claiming something then you at least need to back it up otherwise it will most likely be viewed as invalid or just plain wrong. And this is how I type in the forums, much like I type in game, proper.

Proper is using proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. Proclaiming that "my argument has no basis" has no basis in itself. You do not provide any reasons, you do not provide why nor show why, you just assume.

 

You post things like this all the time in what seems a desperate attempt to portray some kind of wisdom or intelligence.

 

You know what a pseudo-intellectual is? All hat and no cattle, all talk and no real substance. On internet boards this translates to making posts filled with long or difficult words, while the post itself contains little or no substance.

Ring a bell?

 

And apologize for making the mistake of quoting you wrong. I must have overlooked Makashi. Anyways, in the Templar server you kept using Juyo and those transitions on me until I repeatedly asked for you to stop and then you finally stopped. Which is more where I was getting my assumption from than anything else.

That is extremely false, I used Juyo when you only ONCE complained that I was abusing the transition bug. I naturally stepped over to a different style immediately.

 

Stop saying stuff that isn't true dude, I was the one asking you to stop abusing things, not vice versa.

 

And when I said you failed to comprehend my post, you did. There's no where in the post that changes the subject.

That's what you want it to appear like, yes. But again... insert new coin.

 

I'm trying to defend my argument that your argument has no basis to stand on because I have never been known for the sort of behavior that doesn't report or admit cheap/exploits/bugs in the past.

That argument came only after your FIRST argument that I was posting this to spite you because I didn't believe you when you talked about Juyo bugs.

Need a refresh? Because I'm sick of quoting by now...

 

To continue, my argument was never that you displayed some type of behaviour or not. I have no argument, you started the argument, I only posted this bug in order for it to be looked in on.

 

Anyways, you can continue to say it is a bug, and that for some reason I have changed my behavior completely opposite

 

I have said it's a bug, but I have never really made it an argument that you have changed your personality or any stuff like that. Please quote me?

 

I said and quoted you on how you changed your argument within this thread from one thing to a complete and opposite other because your first argument was disproven and shot down. You'll never admit it, but people can see for themselves.

 

from what I have been known to behave like, but it means nothing until Razor or another developer who knows the saber system clarifies it.

Isn't that what I said:

First of all, you and I don't really need to say or prove anything.

I will let the people that know the saber system prove it for us.

 

Could you please stop spamming this thread up with nonsense, you don't need to defend yourself anywhere. I never attacked you in the first place, I just want disclosure if this thing is a bug or not and if it is I want it fixed.

[JackBaldy]

Thanks, I'll make sure to have it at 0 from now on (although I had it like that when you brought it to my attention ).

 

As for the subject at hand, I just find it as another offensive action that isn't as easily attack parried/parried if caught by surprise, but it is possible and easier if you understand it more like Hoc ni stated. If I knew how to upload videos to Youtube properly I could probably upload it so that Razor can see it, or maybe Hoc ni or I can show it to him personally if he has the time.

Wtf is Juyo?

[Maxstate]

Ok, max I just learned how to do this. After learning it, I'm not entirely sure its yawing based since I think I was able to do the same thing at a distance. Whether it speeds up as you get closer needs to be tested a bit more, but I think it was the same speed at a distance. It seems both jack and sushi have know about this for a while now.

It's not yawing based, it is based on turning your view thusly that your saber bounces on the defender's body when certain attack combinations are made.

Anyways, What I think it is is a combination thats based on how the swing to swing transitions work. Since it chooses an new direction with continual attack, it the transitions go fast in certain combos. That side one you mentioned is a particularly interesting example since the transitions choose those directions after a certain button combination.

Alright...

On the up side, it can be stopped with a simple parry thanks to the last changes in the parry code. The downside is, if you dont see it coming and don't parry it, it can do alot of damage and so can other combinations that appearently exist. Its kind of like the comboing in the old Killer Instinct game.

It can not be stopped with a simple parry unless the attacker wants to stop it. I've tried it numerous times with Yoda and never was I able to stop it with just one parry. Since it hits so wildly on all directions the direction you have to parry in is quite random.

 

It's not just that you can't see it coming, it's that it can be repeated with no trouble at all and that it can be spammed and when trained, can ultimately kill any opponent without really dueling at all.

 

Juyo's combination on the side are definitely ALOT faster though because of the way its animation works and it needs to be fixed (ticketed already).

Why does everyone keep bringing Juyo up? We've ticketed Juyo, I've admitted ingame AND on the forums that itis overpowered... can you stop using Juyo as an argument? It really isn't one..

 

HOWEVER, I asked razor about the seeming speed up on these combinations and he said its not intentional and maybe a bug. He needs to see it in action to be certain though and whether or not he even WANTS it to be fixed since it is a pretty interesting side effect that may or may not be overpowered once its understood.

Are you talking about Juyo or Jack's bug?

[Maxstate]

Wtf is Juyo?

Purple stance in OJP Enhanced.

"It can not be stopped with a simple parry unless the attacker wants to stop it. I've tried it numerous times with Yoda and never was I able to stop it with just one parry. Since it hits so wildly on all directions the direction you have to parry in is quite random."

 

That's funny, both Rache and Hoc ni (after you left and we did some minor testing) parried it. Once you parry it or attack parry it, the combo stops because of how the system works...

[Maxstate]

Rache went to sleep ?

 

How many times must I quote myself before you understand?

It can be stopped easy if the attacker wants to stop it. Like if the attacker is trying to show the defender that his attack is not as lethal as it is said to be.

 

The side 'combo' you use is very very erratic and wildly attacks higher, middle and lower body parts and you only have a random chance of parrying it.

 

When you DO parry it, you've already lost 30 DP at minimum, all there is left for the attacker is to repeat it.

[JackBaldy]

When I decided to stop dueling you because you kept irritating me on the subject, and just kept dueling Rache. He parried it very well. And no, I did not want to stop my combo when Hoc ni parried it, because when it is parried the combo stops because, again, how the system works. If you get parried your combo stops. Get that through your head. Maybe that is just you because you fail to parry it, but I am pretty sure if you got better at it you wouldn't be over-exploding something that isn't even a huge problem/problem.

[JackBaldy]

You seem to only focus on when you don't parry it instead of focusing on when you do parry it. If you don't parry it, it will be lethal, much like any transition. Is it more difficult to parry? Yes, but same can be said about many aimed shots. You know how many times you, yes you, personally parried it? Many times.

[ensiform]

Purple stance in OJP Enhanced.

 

It's actually either Tavion's or Desann's stance.

[JackBaldy]

Juyo as named in the game by the hud is Desann's stance.

[ensiform]

Why cant we just have it: "Red", "Blue", Yellow", "Purple", "Cyan".

 

The current are too confusing and kind of stupid imo.

[razorace]

That is heavily modified by Max's animation work....

 

Anyway, I'm not sure what's going on here but it sounds like there might be a subtle bug involving the saber bounce code. It sounds like it's allowing sabers to attack in the same direction as the attack that was bounced.

 

Do you hold the same movement direction when this happens? Does it look like it's the same attack animation?

[JackBaldy]

Razor are you talking about how to perform combos? Depending on where you are looking the direction keys pressed differ. But generally speaking, to perform transitions you don't necessarily have to mimic the directions of the slash being performed. For example, if you are looking somewhat high, and you do D+W then just using S will give you the strike of A+W and if you do it again it will give you D+W so on and so forth. It would be easier for me to just show you in game though. Have any time now?
