Why'd you remove my post, I was going to post feedback there D:
Anyway, I'm surprised there's no promotion happening with this.

Oh yeah, and if we disable the weapon wheel, where do we view our weapons/ current weapon?

@Bzzts
I assume your knight's hand. I don't blame our dear GMs for removing reservation posts, it's just silly. If you want to say something and get your statement the most visible, you should do so now and not later. Don't force people to go through posts without content.

As long as the next update
As long as the next update can make it a bit more obvious which weapon's cursed, either with or without the weapon wheel, I'll be happy. Not too keen on the Dash ability being able to be used in Lockdown, since Strikers already zip around enough as it is, but at least every class is getting it I guess. The Recon thing is both a blessing and a curse - good to see they actually have a chance of maintaining a role in Lockdown even if they are inadvertently hit by something, but I actually don't like the fact they're being reverted to the old cloaking mechanism, because that was too easy to work around before. Won't know much about the update otherwise until I get back to the U.S., but in the meantime, I'll wait and see.
EDIT: Also, proposing an update for the forums to make it easier to filter out the idiotic posts by some members on here (if you have to ask who the posts belong to, then you're likely one of the people being referenced). When they post, I feel like I'm reading something that Fox News would post if they were in on the discussion, and it's getting to a point that it's not even funny anymore.

UI.
I want current weapon's display back. It let us check if current weapon was cursed.
Also, as I expected, nobody gave a banana to my post related the loadout LD bug. Shame.

Lol, reservation post? Thats cheating.
I'm a bit iffy on this update to be honest. Scared that the game will become way too easy with bash/dash. I mean, yeah, I'm glad that the devs made something, and thats always exciting, but I kind of like the feel of the game, which I am afraid of losing, much like the art style of the old UI that I can only presume will be partially rectified by changing vials to look more like they used to.

My biggest hope is that this will implement boss fights/fights in general that require these skills to use them. Dash to avoid the attack or you'll receive damage, etc. MAKE THESE SKILLS ESSENTIAL.

Tortodrone with attacks that can only be avoided with Dash or only way to weaken the boss is with Bash? Yes Please!
I've sort of tried out in Preview, but I didn't do much there anyway. Can't wait to put them to full use!

Sgt-Brownie - yes, something like that would be absolutely phenomenal.
Additionally, are we going to see new missions to teach the kiddos about these maneuvers? The scenarios Brownie mentioned would be really good for something like that. ;w;

Vana?
Lol does vana need to get any easier? it became a walk in the park after the 30% gun dmg boost update.. but w/e I am concerned about LD and how annoying recons will become.. and how easily people can use dash to run into their base safely, almost everytime to heal up..

I'm not sure that forcing players to rely on the new skills is the best of ideas when newer content would clash with existing.

@Addy
I see your way like this: Tortodrone has two types of attacks. He has projectile attacks that 100% lock on you and can only be avoided via Dash, and a locked-on bashing attack that takes a mildly long setup and can only be countered during setup or bash with your shield bash. When bashed during that moment, he will be stunned and weakened for attacks.
A T3 Construct Snarbolax if you will.
Oh and Patch is LIVE! Go! Go! Go!

This patch did nothing.
There's no dashing.
There's no shield-bashing.
There's no new icons.
There's no option for the weapon wheel.
There's no modifier buttons.
Most importantly, you still stop when lifting bombs. :<
I think you did a derp somewhere, guys.

I have to ask ...
What was the first thing said in the office when everyone realized that the incorrect build had been set for download?
If it was a simple "oops" from Nick I owe myself 5kcr.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!
Yay we can remove the weapon wheel! :D
Ok, not a big gripe from me that is was in, but a lot of players will love it.

Oh, and I love the recon fix, and the dash and bash. Now that modifier is mapped easily, I only need to use one more button on my gamepad.
EDIT: May I suggest that Guardians get shield bash? It would help them charge in and prepare an assault better.

Take off your mask. Then show us your Smile.
I thought there was a reason why Steam was downloading something. Turns out it was lying when it said it wasn't drunk.
In the meantime I'll download the patch tomorrow, and the say what I think.

Who's Boswick?
@Dragonicblaze: Get used to it because the least we can do now is disable showing ranks on people and hide the weapon wheel in Options.
When is it going to be released? No notification in-game yet.
Edit: oh, there it is. About 20:30, then (GMT+1, DST).
