Yeah but..
..blitz needle spammers were really annoying and unfair. Alchemers will remain good weapons anyway (even if they won't instakill anymore).
You cannot imagine how evil I am gonna be with those who spammed blitz. I still rememebr their faces!! O_O
I'm gonna make my GF shiny now >:D

Hooray, I can be a guard again. I expect this won't be the last we see of this though. Bet OOO put working on tweaks to LD on the list of things to do.

....
YES!
Bulby cheers. Hurray!
P.S.
And don't feel too bad, your guns (especially alchemers) are still very deadly. You just have to learn to use 'em. :T

Welll.......
Nick did say that he will consider bringing most of the "bug" feature back.
So there is still hope Damienfoxy and Aumir (I think...)

Well
it's an improvement on the ridiculous cutter spam.
That sword has an awful lot of attack-cancelling capability, I got spammed by it as a guardian and couldn't even move or retaliate :U
I'll be missing the added damage for alchemers, though.

SUNSHAAAAAAAAARDS
LD is fixed, just like the Pepperbox.
Okay, sure, there were a few kinks, but it sure beat Attack of the Clones.

I quite liked the cutter and blitz spam...
I find it amusing how people got upset to dying over something that would normally be considered noobish. It's okay if you're caught in a toothpick dance or 2shotted by a granfaust but if kept in a combo by the weapon with shortest range or killed by a gun that makes one a sitting duck, you feel like it's broken.
Of course, any way the wind blows. I'll adapt to whatever and will continue to use what I like, no matter how OP or noobish it is.

Seriously, you guys accidentally found a way to fix lockdown and then screwed it up by listening to the "pro" guys that benefit directly from lockdown not being changed. Someone will ALWAYS find lockdown as their niche in the game; the argument "That wouldn't be fair to this small minority of players wielding VH ASI toothpicesque swords and max shock/max stun skolver" should not apply... not only did this benefit other weapons, but it made the game a lot more balanced in general, and forced teamwork more often. A solo guardian is already stunlocked into having a broken shield when a skolver clone comes up and gets to it... so why are we having so much fuss over people being able to kill them with antigua lines and cutters faster? Blitz needle is better off being used in such a way that it can damage over being excluded from PvP entirely.
Cutters were not over powered. They were just like toothpics, but had less range. The strategy was slightly different for using them, and getting people 'caught' in them was challenging... toothpics have huge range, which lets them have an advantage over cutters even when they're improved by the damage thing.

They said they'll come back to it. And the missing invulnerability didn't only affect lockdown, but PVE after some revives, so the bug had to be fixed. Hopefully they'll reintroduce some of the changes in the near future.
It's nearly impossible for a gunner to take out a decent guard in a reasonable amount of time. The bugged antigua changed this, but made it much too easy. There needs to be some middle ground, otherwise guards will be totally useless.
Definitely agree about cutters. I have no idea why people kept complaining about them.
I see you didn't mention hammers. They were horrifically over-powered by the bug. Really wish OOO didn't make those, as they are an obnoxious weapon, with or without the bug...

About hammers
My only issue with the hammer is that once they get the dash going, I find, they cannot be flinched anymore, and the third hit can still connect. This has happened to me so many times it's not even funny, and it's a pretty devastating follow-up to the already lethal dash. This happened quite often during the bug, where I would run headfirst into a hammer combo with a connecting flourish combo, yet the hammer still goes. I barely came out of that confrontation alive. If hammers could be interrupted, this wouldn't such an issue.
