Yes, old staff speed was 0.1 and now it is 0.15 also the speed of others melees like kraken/katanas and more were balanced with this new melee speed.

Some people ask me "why you nerf staff?". It is because i want to see people use more guns than a melee. People get used to pk with staff, wich is totally wrong; i hope with this new speed people use more guns than melee. Some people will like and some no but i think with the time people will get used to it.
