Kick bug fixed – Could it be? Really?

Seems that some regions that were updated in today’s rolling restart include Kelly Linden’s fix for the infamous "C:SI Kick Bug", which was introduced with Havok 4 and removed the push part of the C:SI weapon’s kick attacks.  This was a major annoyance for many of us, and required a dramatic change of strategy for most.

Zero Gee sent me an IM notifying me that Samurai Edo was included in today’s update and that it would be a good time to check whether the fix was included, so in-world I went and work be damned :)

It seems that the behavior is a little bit different (kicks are more vertical than previously), and that might take a bit of getting used to, but overall it’s a great deal better than kicks doing nothing at all, and I’m very pleased to report that Kelly Linden is now my favorite-est Linden of all!

    You could probably convince someone to print up a few Linden Love Pillows™ of your own design :)

    You know Shindo… Last time you talked about kicking a Linden® in the junk, it put my site at #1 on Google for that phrase :)

    If you keep saying that, it’ll probably do it again!

    I can’t believe this took precedence over the release of the Tak 1.0.6V
    :)

    If it’s any consolation, I’m currently working on V1.0.7, which will implement some changes to dashing that have been really bugging me and others :)
