Pressing F doesn't "stick"

(kilL_888) #21

im not sure if its really a lag problem.

when you aim at an enemy player and shoot, you hit him, no (or almost no) lag.

it must be either bad programming or it is intended. when you aim at someone you usually get the player information instantly. so, basicly the game should know who youre aiming at and what their status is almost instantly.

in generell im wondering why splash damages removes mechanics that worked well and replaced them with laggy, buggy functions. no ammo packs, no health packs. bad decision imho. why not seperate buffs and ammo/health?

if it would be seperated you could have one key to drop health/ammo, and another key to revive someone. that way the game would not have to determine what to do when all of the sudden a buffable teammate runs between you and an incapacitated mate. and i think thats the problem.

i use middle mouse button (with f being my obj wheel) andi get that a bit. even when following to buff it often just stops.

i also get swapping of weapons when pressing f sometimes, god knows how that happens!?!?

Same here, I put use on middle mouse as well. And yes, indeed that sometimes switches weapons even though I am very sure I didn’t rotate the mousewheel at all.

Can we get weapon banks please, because this system is inferior. Mmh, where have I heard this before? :confused:

@Smoochy
Yeah, it’s kinda buggy sometimes. I myself mostly experience following someone until I finally reach them and then for some reason they don’t get the buff and instead I have to press <F> again.

@kilL_888
I thought they removed the packs to encourage players to more actively focus on their team mates.
You can’t say the reviving hasn’t improved.

the mechanic to throw someone a syringe is nice, yes. but the handle isnt, sadly.

so, generally i say it has not improved, because i prefer a flawless working system (like in et) over a bugged, glitchy system as it is right now.

in et, when i stung someone with a syringe, he got up. in brink, i aim at someone, wait, wait some more, waiting for the interaction glow to get on, and throw the syringe, hoping all the time, no one crosses my way so i buff instead of revive.

[QUOTE=Djean;318730]Shouldn’t you rebind your keys (or get a controller) if that’s such a problem for you?
You’re talking about having to move your hand, right? Not about the keys not working.[/QUOTE]

I’m talking about the key often not working.
