Alright, I'm mostly done with this thread already, so I'm mostly just going to leave a closing statement. I wasn't super into joining in on this when this turned from a "Survey question" to a discussion, simply because I don't like engaging in debate with this sort of thing. It takes a lot of time and energy I'd prefer to put into writing, and honestly it's just something that I know sucks the life out of me as a person, so I generally avoid it.
Moves remain not fun for me. Sitting here writing out a couple paragraphs for abilities for Kerrigan or Weiss - is not fun for me.
Moves remain very unclear to me. I still don't understand a lot of the things involved in the move creation.
I find it both contradictory and weird that something like projectile speed or diameter need to be given a very specific definition, but something like ATK is so vague that while one's stat gives a baseline, everything beyond the baseline is so incredibly undefined (Examples: How much charge-up do I need to hurt someone with stronger defences? does a beam that moves 50 meters per second with a charge speed of 1 second beat a move that moves 100 meters a second but has 2 seconds charge time. how much drawback until I can break steel with the move? How powerful is my 1 minute charge Omnidirectional blast if I'm at ATK 1? by 'normal moves' under the ATK description, what's the baseline standard for the level of damage it describes) that it basically comes purely down to individual perception, making half the move rigidly defined while the other half of the move is hardly defined at all, making the basic idea behind defining these moves a bit of a mess.
I'm weirded out that a lot of the moves have this vagueness with ATK and to an extent DEF but meanwhile moves are locked down from being affected by SPD or TEC more often or not. While it's true that getting physically faster shouldn't make your bullets faster, it doesn't really make much sense for one's personal strength or power increasing the strength of their flintlock pistol, so the ideas there seem a bit contradictory to the spirit of those stats.
I remain unhappy that friends I have don't want to come to this site after seeing the move system and judging it too complex and irritating.
Those are basically everything I can dredge up from the top of my head.
That's my survey answer.
