Chocobo Dash III bug?

[thendcomes]

When the ability procs in a rating 280-299 race, Chocobo Dash III will cause the player to, for three seconds, exceed their maximum speed, and not consume stamina.

When the ability procs in a rating 300 race, Chocobo Dash III will cause the player to, for three seconds, effectively maintain their current speed, and not consume stamina.

That's how the ability works. It sets your speed instantly to max (500) for 3 seconds. If you have 500 speed and are already running at max speed, you won't see any increased speed. That's why it's completely overpowered in lower brackets and becomes less and less so as you move up. That's not broken nor bugged.


You mentioned that "quite a few people...are reporting an issue" and "this is frustrating many." This is appealing to the masses, and for all we know this is made up to reinforce your point. Choco Dash III isn't broken, and if you or others are unhappy that you chose it as your final ability for your g9, then I don't think the devs should interfere on account of your poor planning. It's not like you're locked in either, you can make another g9 bird and try again.

Now, if you don't like how Choco Dash works and want to see it reworked so that it has an effect at every speed level, then that's another issue altogether. I would imagine any adjustment would come with a severe nerf to its impact for lower levels, maybe set speed to +100 of current max speed for 3 seconds. This could or could not be applied to blue panels as well.
