    Didn't see this in known issues thread:

    (1) Assassin's running skill will sometimes not work

    - it's probably due to my spamming of the button sometimes, but I spam it only to make sure that the skill will work. I've had countless times where my character wouldn't run after holding the button down; so spamming it until I know it is working does the trick.

    (2) One time I had the "dash sword move" disabled. Worked after I had died though.

    - Not sure if this will happen again or not, but it did happen once and not sure what I did other than spam the button XD. Again, I feel if I don't spam the button that sometimes it will not go through the animation and I usually die.

    (3) Cloak not working correctly. Sometimes I will show as stealth on my screen, but I'm continuously being shot by bots and other Pros.

    - No, I'm not highlighted from being hurt or damaged. The cloak skill is certainly going down and being used, so I'm not sure what to say. Maybe I'm spamming the cloak skill button also, but I don't remember.

    (4) I had cloak on and it wasn't being consumed on the skill bar. It was showing my character under cloak however.

    - This isn't really a big issue, I am usually aware of this bug, however, it does need fixing.

    Level 1 cloak Bots and Turrets can still target you. I am not 100% sure about this but I do remember reading it in a post, but don't remember where or who said it.

    You're also never 100% invisible, especially when moving. This is by design.

    I actually had problem 1 and 2 happen to me simultaneously about an hour ago.

    I also had the issue of level 3 cloak NOT recharging while standing still.

    No, not invisible, but I shouldnt be targeted by bots while invisible. However, if it was because I was lvl 1 stealth, that changes things. I tend to stay lvl 1 cloak a lot. I don't find more than lvl 1 necessary :roll:



    from the wiki:
    I need to know about the bots thing though, because that REALLY does affect whether it was a bug or not.



    edit: I just remembered a 4th bug.

    Firstly: Stop spamming buttons. Why you spamming buttons? They're on toggle, not hold or tap. It's not like you need to do a QTE to play this game. :/

    Secondly: If you're sprinting AND cloaked, you may as well be uncloaked because savvy players will see your dust trails and shoot you anyway.

    Thirdly: I don't know if Lvl 1 cloak still lets you be targeted by bots and turrets, probably because it's so easy to level up. But if you're running around with Lvl 1 cloak most of the game, then either you're doing something so horribly wrong you can't afford it, or your skill plan needs revision.

    I don't have to explain why I use lvl 1 cloak to you. :roll:

    I don't necessarily spam buttons, and that's also none of your concern, but I do tend to push them a couple times more than necessary to make sure they work. Sometimes when I'm during an animation like a grapple or something like that, pushing a skill matters.

    How many savvy players do you see online these days? :? It fools a lot of people and when they aren't paying attention it gets them killed. I know people can shoot me while invisible, but that wasn't what I was writing about.

    LASTLY, you didn't really add anything helpful to my topic. It really did seem like you were scolding me. Why do I sometimes spam the button a couple times? 'Cause assassin does a lot of grapples and random animations and I NEED a specific skill to activate AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Pressing the button one time doesn't guarantee that it will go off as planned.
    I'm here discussing bugs I have found, if me spamming a button causes it, then that's something that still needs fixing.

    I hear and see a lot of "cloaked" assassins. Even after I turn around, they still want to pursue me. Those players must find the respawn screen pretty to look at or something.

    I spam buttons too, partly to dispell nervous energy pent up from the excitement this game brings me everyday. I wouldn't worry about it. ;)

    I dont understand how assassins die so much :|

    That dash-sword move is just amazing. I escaped death way too many times... :lol:

    When it works correctly! Sometimes it goes almost nowhere. Sometimes it goes farther than normal and sends you off an edge!

    Turrets and Bots (and especially firebases) occasionally target you even when you're cloaked with level 3 cloak.

    Also the r-dash and sprint skills not working seem to be linked. If I can't sprint, I am also unable to use r to dash. This usually lasts from spawn until the next death; and has increased in frequency for me in the past week or so.

    Video of assassin dash bugging out while I'm alive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm3hQR-D4yo
    Starting from about 17 seconds in you can see the dash skill bar being clicked in, but I don't start dashing and it doesn't drain.

    I get this too, though in the vid my lunge was still working - it seems they are only linked when it happens on spawn, and not if it happens during a life.
