Chocobo Dash III bug?

[Spawnie]

personally i think chocobo racing needs alot of improving

runnin right through the middle of chests not gettin an item = =
running over sprint/cure pads not havin any effect

nothin worse then planning the item u want from chest so slow down/speed up to get in a position to get the item you want and run right through it without recieving anything at all lol

this never happened to me. at least not when you position yourself on the right lane before.

about chocobo dash... i think its still useful for when you get slowed down (heavy,out of stamina or maybe even right at the beginning instead of headstart?) Its just not the best ability anymore.

hmm thats weird... over 1500 races here and it never happened to me. There used to be a problem if you turn left or right and move through a chest that you dont get it, but i dont know if this still happens now that chests are bigger. It could also be NPCs with the ability to steal your item, they use it almost instantly after you take an item.

I think the big gripe that dissenters have with the OP in this topic is not that they don't want to fix this issue, but rather because the way the OP states the issue makes it seem like Choco Dash III should be the best ability in the game, and the fact that it isn't at R-300 is what the problem is. I think what most people see as the problem is the rather dramatic swing the ability takes from "absolute friggin' god-tier" to "eh, okay." It would be healthier if it were a balanced choice at all levels of play.

Not to sidetrack the topic too much, but while we're at it, I think it would also make sense to change the stamina gained from Choco Ease and Choco Calm to percentages, rather than flat amounts. As it stands, Choco Ease III restores over 16% stamina at low stamina levels, while only restoring 9% or so at around 400+ stamina. This makes them both a fairly poor pick compared to Choco Cure III at high ranks.

I save my chocobo dash when against NPCs for when I run out of stamina, since you still go max speed even when lathered.
With those who use super sprint, I have to use chocobo dash at the start of the match, so I get the same speed, but more stamina than super sprinters.
