Staff: No Draw

[KalSpiro]

Scrapper Staff is still missing the option to set No Draw in the character creator.  It would be really nice to have that delay between attacks if you happen to do anything other than a staff attack.

It's been stated by Captain Powerhouse that no more sets will get a "No Redraw" option as it's essentially a buggy hack, and instead all weapon sets will be converted to be like Katana.

[KalSpiro]

Which means?  I mean, if it's built in, that is just as good.

In theory, Katanas should only perform the draw animation if you have no target in range when hitting the associated Power.

If a targeted enemy is in range, then pushing the Power button should immediately use the attack animation, ignoring the draw.

 

In theory, anyway.  I still see people complaining about it in General and Help Channels of Everlasting from time to time.  Such as if they're holding another weapon when they use a Katana Power and then just don't perform any animation AND don't draw the Katana either.

The stuff on Beta right now might have a more solid fix.  There's a massive overhaul to animations and root times being tested in Page 2 right now.

Sounds good, I didn't know about any of that

So to me that means: put Staff next on the list since it has the most to gain from the work.
