The Assassin.

Are the lunge, dash and smoke jump glitches caused by lagg or just down to the game?

I've recently noticed that my assassin bugs out ONLY after 2-3 games of playing an assassin in one session which makes me think it's down to the Xbox/game since when i switch classes everything is fine again but it does seem like a lagg related issue.

I've noticed that when i usually dashboard and restart the game the assassin is fine but then again it could be due to lagg since i find a different game more often than not.

lag. and being host doesnt help either.

HURRAY!

Yah the assassin has the most downfall from issues in the game. If you are host, you cant smoke bomb jump, makes the class a lot less fun for sure trust me. You cant grapple in most lag filled games, ive pressed against the back of people spamming trigger, and they would turn around to slam me or grapple me away, also makes the class less fun.

And once you start experiencing a lot of stutterstep, you might never play the assassin again. But i guess you can work around it a lot of the time, with lunge and smoke bomb jumping if it works lol

You CAN smoke bomb jump when host, just have to do it slightly different from when you're not host.

Stutterstep is a nuisance, but I got an uber streak stutterstepping almost the whole time.

Lag grappling is both fun and a nuisance. When you're stood next to somebody and can't grapple them, it's a right piss take. But when you dash where you think somebody will run and then hit grapple and you get a kill, it's stupidly fun.

So, basically you are saying:

Yup in a nutshell...I wonder if any fixes will be applied ever.....if they can be :?

If the cause was just lag, being host would help. So are there lag affected issues like the constant grapple fails,and then "other" issues like the smoke bomb failing when you're host?

Just asking. The laggy grapple problems stopped me playing assassin long ago.

to clarify, lag messes with things, as does being host, they each affect different things in their own way, but they both affect the assassin

Yah i hate lag grapples but its tolerable in most games.

The most irritating lag-induced bug for me is Stutterstep.

I can live with failed smokebombs--I still get the reduced damage, so if I'm under fire I can still get away some other way.

I can live with failed lunges--Going nowhere at all is better than going off a cliff. Plus I still slash, so whatever is in the way of that will get hurt.

I can live with failed grapples--if I miss, I generally run away anyway.

But Stutterstep...It haunts you until you die. Constantly. Picking up a Speed pickup fixes it temporarily but it'll be back. Quickness is an Assassin's best friend and Stutterstep kills her by taking that away. Literally, since you have to die to get rid of it. Haha.

Well, I like my lunges to be consistent. Countless times I know I'm in range and suddenly it only goes 3 feet.

It's a problem that even the tank feels sometimes on his charge.

Yep...its sad to say the most fun class in the game, is the one with the most problems. Im sure Uber now has the time to focus on the sin so lets hope for some real changes.

Bump


The sin needs some love uber!


Kinda sad how she has had these same glaring problems since the game was released

yep...poor poor sins...sometimes when I notice they failed a grapple, i let them run (if they choose to run, some people are persistent in getting that grapple), and say to myself...this better not come bite me in the ***...

I once had a glitch where I couldn't use my dash or lunge as an Assassin. That's right, I had to ****ing walk around everywhere. At least I could still cloak and smokebomb.

Thats the famous stutterstep F5in it can be a real bitch when your on a killstreak and all of a sudden you cant lunge or dash. Forced to walk around and smoke bomb doesnt work so smoothly all the time

No it wasn't, it was even worse than the stutterstep. I literally could not run or lunge, when I pressed the key, NOTHING happened, and I was walking around like normal. My dash said it was depleted and wouldn't recharge and the lunge would just never activate.

But yeah, stutterstep is really BS, not to the same degree as this, but almost.
