This day, I thought that I would get one final patch before school starts, and you didn't do any really big patches for a while so I thought "OOO is going to patch today *joy*" But now, my dreams are crushed.... In a way, I guess, this saddening experience will not want me to return to the game for a while. Because anyways, what is there to return to now? Lockdown? Making pretty costumes?
Y U NO PATCH?!
Next up is the Guild customization/update, right?
Or did Stun-debug become top priority?
i hope its teh guild update, but i understand them wanting to get half the forums of their back about stun so... Plus i ha e wondered what dis guild update im hearing about entails :-|
I have to admit I was disappointed when there wasn't an update.
I'm just spoiled, I suppose.
What exactly is the problem with Stun? I've never used any weapon with it or gotten inflicted with it, so I have no idea what people are talking about. All I see is people saying, "Fix Stun!", quickly followed by other people saying, "Yeah! Fix it!". So for me, at the least, what is wring with stun?
Stunned monster hit twice instead of slowing down. All good enough?
Stun is broken broken broken
Basically, if a mob is attacking and gets stunned, it will attack instantly when it becomes un-stunned. No animation, no nothing. Turrets will shoot twice, Vanaduke will hit you before his swing animation, etc. It's more annoying to have a stun attack around than a screen-shattering Nitronome.
Also, I'll believe that a guild update exists when I see it. Fool me once, shame on me.
The Stun bug basically causes enemies that are stunned mid-attack to launch a second, instant attack. So if one were to get that lucky Callahan charge off against Vanaduke as he started swingin' his mace, and it stunned him right then, damage would take effect where the mace would hit instantly, and then Vanaduke would hit again with his actual animation. If Vanaduke was already stunned before, that Callahan shot would not cause a double-attack; however, Stun is rare.
The Sun Shards line causes multiple instances of Stun, causing multiple instant double-attacks. Not good. Stagger Storm is usable in some situations because stun can be constantly re-applied, but the Stagger Storm stun lasts a measly 4 seconds, less than the other Haze Bombs' statuses, requiring it to be constantly re-applied to be any use. Sudaruska knocks enemies far away and hits them hard while it stuns, making for a dangerous weapon if used improperly, but not diminishing the usefulness of the charge. (Say what you will, that Suda charge hits like a truck.) Callahan hits from a distance, and its most common ranged target (Devilites) is often interrupted by one Callahan shot, so it's not as troubled by the bug as Sun Shards are, but could still cause issues against large enemies.
Lumbers can stun enemies and knock them away with their attacks (though not damaging them); this can often create "Jelly Cube Missiles" that are the result of the stun bug occuring when a Lumber knocks a Jelly Cube into a player. For Massive Damage. This is often seen as a nice challenge (getting players to clear away from a Lumber slam in a mob), and is totally acceptable, but the other instances of the Stun bug are obviously not meant to be there. It makes the Sun Shards a deathtrap against Trojans, one of their intended targets, because it can cause the Trojan to doublestrike unexpectedly.
And this bug started showing up once they updated the Shard Bombs, correct?
No, This bugs been around for ages, but since noone actually uses stun noone actually cares ;_;
Statiicz, I use stun constantly. Stun rocks Vanaduke's block. Stun is fantastic for soloing LoA and in general there. Stun is fantastic for arenas expecially full of robots. Stagger Storm is wicked fun in lockdown. You should look into it.
OP Venom dude, did you allready quit once? Make up your mind.
That is all.
Wow you STILL remember that guys? I came back when nick said they were taking steps to ensure that the only content in the game which F2Ps cannot get will be available to them. Although, I gotta say: "Oh, stoppit you! *blush*"
Someone remembers... Anyone remember my MLP thread? XD
Melisan. You always hated me after I thought you were a girl and started hitting on you XD. Aaand thats why you kicked me for asking for a promo after 1/2 a year in the guild. :D
Danger Missions. Fun gameplay. Socializing with your Guild. You get my point
