I have heard from some people that SOE scrapped the new melee opening system. If that is the case, why does Lucy continue to show frequent updates to the various melee abilities?
Various melee abilities get tweaked just as spells do over time. I'm certainly not seeing "frequent" updates to them however.
Dunno if the more general openning system was scrapped completely or not, it did seem awefully pavlonian in nature (light goes off, press button), and I believe the timer system was used more broadly than intially envisioned.
