Thread: [Dev Speaks] Alternating attacks it not an exploit. Hitting the same one once per sec is.

There are 3 Distinct phatse to combat:
Warmup Phase (Noted by Yellow Bar if there is a Warmup)
Execute Phase (This is the amount of time it takes to perform the action, most actions are 1 second, things like Force heal, force Infusion, total heal are all 2 seconds)
Cooldown Phase (The amount of time before you can perform that action again, for most things this is in the realm of 1-4 seconds)
Warmup + Execute + Cooldown == The base amount of time before you can perform THAT SAME action again.
The above formula modified by weapon and skill modifiers determines how long before you can perform that action again. This is why if you spam Leghit over and over you would constantly be waiting extra time for the leghit to refresh(It is in Cooldown phase). Whereas if you interleave your specials such as doing Leghit, Headhit, Leghit, Headhit, you would have more DPS because you are not waiting the extra time for the move you just did to get out of the cooldown phase. If people are spamming the same move over and over again at once per second than something is not functioning correctly.
If anyone can provide screenshots of combat spam, weapon, server that would be fantastic in helping us see when the command system is shorting out.
How hard is it to understand. I swear people on these forums especially the BH and Jedi are made up of the most "Special" people that cannot differentiate between an in-game working mechanic and an exploit.

I can combo saber strike-head hit-saber hit-leg hit and do it all in 4 seconds sometimes if get hit by lag 5 seconds. If you read his post that is legal.

There is a"method" however that allows all cooldown timers to be bypassed. Attacks can be spammed using just the execution timer, and that IS NOT an intended game mechanic. It is THAT"method" that the original thread was discussing,NOT chaining different attacks that have unrelated cool downs.
When this has been tested, replicated and acknowledged by the devs you can substitute the word "method" with another word of your choice.
