I was reading over the patch notes and one of the things the developers changed was reenabling throw to be bound even if you don't have a throwable weapon.

This was a technique used in pvp to name lock someone with throw for some classes, and I think it's a good sign. Makes you wonder if they'll look at WSG or something that can emulate it in the future?

That and a few other really cool things they're adding, such as quickcast and move only. Both great for pvp

yeah but what really jumped out was that they had removed it which completely disabled throw locking. There wasn't anything else being effected by this removal to my knowledge except for PVP.

That's what really interested me- that other stuff was cool too but hopefully this is a sign that they're paying attention to stuff the pvp community was upset about being removed.

That’s a really good point. Only ppl complaining on the forum about throw lock were for the pvp impacts. Zero pvm use like you’re saying

Let start calling it Weapon Switch Feature. Then they have to fix it right?
