Sometimes I have the problem that neither dash nor lunge grapple work when I play as assassin. The dash is empty and doesn't reload. When pressing R for the lunge grapple nothing happens. I run around and try and try... nothing happens. If I want them both to work again I have to die. After respawning it works again. Of course this is very frustrating. I asked other people ingame and I am not the only one with this problem. Sorry - I am not quite sure since when this problem occurs but it is not that long. Please repair this. It is really discouraging in playing MNC.
If you can capture this breaking on video that would greatly help our efforts to reproduce and fix this issue. Specifically, I would like to see the character spawn, have skills works, and then stop working all on video. We know that it can break, but what we don't know is what happens the causes it to break. You can use fraps (http://www.fraps.com/) to capture footage and then upload to youtube. Any user who can do this should send me a private message and you will receive much thanks and gratitude.
I'm not sure but I seem to remember that I was grappled before it happened, probably out of dash or lunge. I'll keep my eyes open. Fraps is a problem, it really messes with my PC's performance...
Any chance of having a look at the lunge not actually making you lunge properly, despite doing the animation, sound etc? I've got plenty of instances of that on video, though none so far of my skills breaking.
The first time Dash broke for me, I died with it completely depleted. I do not remember if that death was a grapple, ring out, or other, but my skill being depleted was the only thing that stood out.
Skills depleting is a class-wide issue I believe. I've played Assault where my skills refuse to recharge at times, it's happened like, maybe 4ish times. Very annoying bug! But rare, thankfully. God knows it still pisses you the hell off when it happens though.
