declined Restoration of a bug

[alkyng 3,081]

Hi

From the first Shaft release there was a Shaft bug in Flash version, when you click P while you in sniping, the shot will be cancelled and you will return the energy bar as how far you went in zooming. It had many useful usages.

Before a years, suddenly while I was watching an old video for a Shaft player, I suddenly noticed the player is clicking P continuously, and I tested it and liked it then. And it been a habit for me..

 

Not sure if it's the same video that I have watched, but most probably.

I know I'm looking silly when I'm asking about returning for a bug, and I feel shy for that. But this bug is here for almostly the 9 years of Shaft, and it been one of Shaft advantages. It really annoyed me when they fixed it in HTML5. Now every time I play with Shaft, I wrongly click on P. As I get extremely accustomed to it. But it doesn't work. And I think it's an enough reason for me to stop using Shaft for this. Sometimes when you was sniping on someone and he is hiding behind the wall, you click P cancelling your sniping and changing your place, and he still think you in sniping and waiting you.

I was want to explain it myself in Steam version before it end to make it more obvious, but I forgot that so I searched for a video.

The developers fixed this bug because it was never supposed to be added to the game. It gives an unfair advantage to Shaft players. By the way, in some cases, exploiting bugs can result in a ban/block from the game as per the rules of the game.

Fortunately, that bug got fixed months ago.

I remember a few players were complaining about it, glad to hear it was fixed.

your shaft would cancel it's sniping mode and the energy bar would be fully replenished.

This wasn't replenish your energy bar fully, but it was return it to charge from the point you were from, if you sniped to the half and you clicked P. Your energy bar will recharge from the half. Which is balanced

Shaft's energy recovery rate is very fast. It would practically be the same as getting back full energy anyway.

The most important thing was the shot wont be shooten, so your enemies will still think you're in sniping. It benefit alot

Also these milliseconds make a difference
