chain link from the front broken?

[qwert33]

Hi,

I've recently discovered on my 3rd playthrough that if you attack a NPC from the front but instead of a normal hop, use the chain link, then you will actually gain health as if you'd attacked him from behind. It also seems that you are able to do any kind of chain-hop without taking damage when an enemy faces you. This seems rather silly and broken to me as it completely screws over the stealth aspect of having to stay out of peoples vision.

I hope it can be fixed soon

sorry, I overlooked the bug report thread. I'm going to send a bug report now, so could we please delete this thread? ty

Hey qwer33,

It's actually an intended feature that you do not take damage from the front while chaining.
It was included in the tutorial on the first level, so you probably missed it

The major reason we decided to exclude damage while chaining was so that people wouldn't feel disadvantaged using chains only to have some enemies turn their back while their chains were being executed, since it takes a while for your chains to fully complete.
