Dodge attacks were fundamental to saber vs saber combat, It granted fluidity, diversity, and made the duels lots of fun. Now diversity is gone, fluidity is over. Dodging is an impairment to attack now, so it's even harder for a saber to find an opening on enemy sabers. Quickly dodging accross your enemy to quickly turn and attack his exposed back is not doable anymore for the delay that is there now.
Each attack after a dodge would be a specific attack from the sequence of attacks of each saber. Forward, Backwards, Left, or Right dodges would all trigger a different specific attack when you attacked just after dodging. It would resume the attack sequences from that specific attack onwards. It was the only way to manipulate which attack swings you wanted to use from all you had. Without it you're forced to always start attacking with one of your 2 opening attacks, or your 2 lunge attacks, and you can't choose which of the 2 in each case.
This removed a lot from the saber duels. Please revert this.
If I can plead for anything around here, is a fix for this issue. Or at least the confirmation it's intentional. Please, for all I have done right for the community here and in the main forum, please, get me something as an answer, anything. This just killed all joy I had in Saber Combat, which was my favorite part of this game.
This is too much content to be thrown away like this.
Despite some clear attempt to hijack this report, devs knew better and finally fixed this issue for good. Dash Attacks are now back to their former glory. An honest thank you from a dedicated Day 1 player and bughunter!
