that's stupid.  

It wasn't that melees were nerfed, but they made it so that we cannot lose life as rapidly as we used to be able to  

lame  

Oh man. I'm expecting a 10 page war on this new nerf thing. I'm going to the iClassic sub forum for safety.

Fixed it. Didn't finish my thought.

The nerfing is stupid cause they made a 25ec item suck more nuts than a squirrel without teeth.

This will be fixed, melees weren't supposed to be effected.

I'm surprised to see complaints, to be honest.
Its only a half-second recovery.

Era PC's had this hit recovery since 2003, and never said a word.
I guess iEra folk have become accustomed to getting easy kills.

But yeah, ill have to go around and fix all of the melees individually when my wife 's chores are done.

You should be able to get easy melee kills by tomorrow.  

No no no! People, what is wrong with you all?!? How could you not like the state of which melees are now? Don't you guys like it that now Era is much more dependant on GUNS an skill rather than the spam of melees considering it's GUN server and not a melee server. Wow.  

I understand the issue- They paid for these melees for the ability to deal damage fast.
Without that ability, they wouldn't have spent their hard-earned EC or Gralats on it.

They bought it for the "fire rate" when in reality the perk to hitting fast is the increased chance of hitting and lower freeze.
At least, this was the notion of melees on PC Era.

Unfortunately, I believe the people of iEra have been trained that Rate of Fire and Damage are the key to victory; and their purchase is worthless without these factors.

I'll "fix" all melees when my list is done.
 

Meh i think of it more like dodgeing a extra melee attack.
