Good thing it's just a game. I suggested not getting too upset over it.
I know, but it's a pain loosing your streak, and having to use revives for nothing when your trying to save them for the web-slinger challenge.
It is a pain, and really annoying, can often reach frustrating. Just remember its a game and it isn't even real stuff you are wasting. At least those thoughts help keep me from chucking my phone accross the room when it happens.
I'm not the kind of person who gets mad, just something I want to mention to make the issue more known, it's game braking ,fixing it should be very important!
Swiping forward doesn't get registered properly; it gets treated like a light attack. I used to call this doing your kung fu moves from long distance. This issue has been around since Dec 2014 when it was really bad. Horrible, far worse back then. Far worse. Far far far worse.
What is new to the mix is that light attack itself doesn't get registered. So I try to do a 5-hit combo. I swipe forward (medium attack, successful) then tap (for a light attack). Nothing. No light attack. Tap again. Nothing. Sometimes I get lucky and my third tap finally continues the combo. Other times, I get smacked back.
The only remedy for the "pause" in the attack is to treat every opponent as if he was spiderman. Keep your trigger finger ready to block or get ready to swipe back if the second hit of the combo doesn't show up.
The blocks also don't register (which obviously negatively affects your ability to parry) but this is far harder to tell than attacks. So I won't be surprised if this issue has been around longer than people realize.
However I am noticing increased combos missing for no apparent reason. Wolverine sometimes missing a dash attack after dodging a heavy or SP and often missing during combos. Magneto can barely chain a combo, given up trying to land a 5 hit combo other than low level fights where he can survive receiving full combos.
Well to me it's only light attacks, specials always seem to work, parry timing is ok, block always works too, so do mediums, and heavies, only light attacks don't work
I understand Kabam is in the business of making money, but if they don't spend more of their resources fixing these bugs, they won't have enough of a player community to support them.
I would appreciate some alliance revives and potions for this. Not end of the world when it's during a quest, but its the worst during war.
This does not seem to be a Kabam issue. For whatever reason my phone decided to reduce refresh point, this was sending dropped signal between my thumbs, phone controls, animations, and game making contact. Champs making contact and phone battery taking hit as well. 62 hit combo with Magneto, experienced missing combos issue with him more than others so I would say its a non-issue at the moment.
