Re: Attack Speed vs. Gani Lenght

Those are the lengths of the ganis for each attack
NPC Code:

Sword ZBlade
Stab: 1.0 0.45
Swing 0.75 0.75
Combo: 0.95 1.35



Because as a player, you mainly notice the ganis and not the actual freezing time, you will mostly not notice that swords are in fact faster than the zormite blade. This really confuses, as it seems that the average sword is not only weaker but also slower than the zormite blade.
I discovered that for example, if you keep hitting the sword key, you will do a second swing while the first gani is still playing. So basically both a sword with damage 7 and a zormite blade do the same damage per second if you attack repeatly (stab with the zblade and swing the sword).

I believe the sword ganis should be shortened to match the freeze time, to not confuse players. (LIKE ME)
S, forward, S, forward, S forward.

Try it, with practice you can get about two hits per second with any sword.

Or, hold down D .. then S, S, S. Same thing.

Isn't proper. Weapon speed isn't implemented at all, and it completely takes away from the realism.
