Problem with Smart Cooldowns

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

I was just on the test server playing a couple battles. In the test server you have so many crystals to spend everybody buys a ton of drugs to use.  Well, in some battles, as soon as I spawned, I was able to press 2-3-4 without any delay, and everyone else was doing it too. It wasn't a PRO battle or anything. However, in other battles when I spawned I could only press 2, or 3, or 4, and then press 1. That's the way it should be.  I know this has been noticed by some other players, and has been reported on the main servers as well.  Could anyone inform me as to why this happens?

I've never seen it happen on the main servers. I did see comments about this happening, but I have no idea if it's actually true or people are just being mislead.

Well it definitely happens on the test servers, that's for sure.  If this problem is contained to the test servers, I'm still curious to know why it happens. In fact, I rather like it, because when everyone is 2-3-4 it feels more normal.

Could be due to the lag.

Nope.  I never experience lag on my laptop and everyone was doing it.  On the test server yesterday I realize it has been fixed, which is disappointing, since I liked 2-3-4 better than picking one supply when you spawn.

not you lagged but TO servers.

I'm pretty sure Smart Cooldowns were disabled on the test servers on purpose. During testing, Micro-Upgrades and changing equipment in battles were disabled. Maybe the developers wanted to make things fast-paced and simple, since the primary purpose of the open testing was to see how the quick-battle feature worked under stress. I have no doubt that they can do that in the first place, since you can already disable Smart Cooldowns in PRO battles to get the old 234 system back.

 

I haven't seen this issue spill over to the main servers- Smart Cooldowns are working fine for me. Maybe the people reporting the problem were in PRO battles with Smart Cooldowns off without realizing it?

I put up a topic about those weird test server changes as soon as it came up and it was closed because those changes were supposedly there to help developers test the random battle button. (because smart cooldowns, equipment change and premium reward increases were totally relevant)
