I would actually celebrate your day. In fact, I'll pop one open just because I've got respect for you, and I have respect for beer!

Haha, nice.

I honestly could give two shits less about the reputation system. Too many people on forums in general hold themselves at a high level of importance, when to me they are just another poster. All a reputation system does is bolster that already extra large cranium of theirs. I really don't give a damn who "won the day."

+1 On the Energy Blaster snipe fix, awesome work, y'all!

The piss off part seems most common, haha.

You have to admit, a lot of people hate knock back because there are LOTS of players who simply don't mesh well on teams. I know a lot of you play well with knock back, but you have to remember, a majority of players dont post the forums, so these players who use knock back in a way that hurts the team dont come here to learn otherwise. It's not your fault so many players hate knock back, but we do hate it for good reasons.

Not even going to go into the argument about knock back...everyone here knows how I feel about knock back. So let's just say I am more specifically talking about knock down here. First, I don't think so. There is no reason at all that I can think of that your defender should be able to knock down more often than my blaster can. I am a blaster, which means I should have complete control over my abilities. Energy Blaster is my primary, it's your secondary. Therefore I as a Blaster should be more skilled with my Primary. I do not believe anyone should have a higher chance to knock down than a Blaster when it comes to ranged abilities. If a Defender has 75, 85 or even 100 percent chance to knock down, then a Blaster should get that same chance.

Might as well add this one too.

That was just a mean thing to do. 😠

Same here. I remember it being only specific types of players herding. More often than not, those players would even ask the team if they are okay with it before doing so. I really don't recall it being anywhere near as exaggerated as some people are saying it was.

Damn, I'm fresh out of ideas at this point. I'm just wondering why this affects some but not others. And I am assuming that you experience this issue with any character you have?

Actually, I am referring to the item limit. I don't actually know if there is an email limit.

That has made a huge difference, I will admit that. That was a very welcomed change.

Mobs these days die so fast. It's crazy how fast people wipe mobs off the face of the map these days. As a Defender (I have a Dark/Dark and a Rad/Fire and an Cold/Ice) I simply find myself not even using my toggle debuffs because by time I cast the debuff, mobs are dead already. This typically starts at around level 22 (right around SO's time) and on up to level 50 content. The only time I find toggle debuffs to be of any use (maybe?) is when groups are attacking AV's (although the debuffs are not even close to being needed) or even better, GM's. Maybe my views on the toggle debuffs are over exaggerated....I don't think so, but I am willing to be open minded here. However, it sure feels like I am wasting time debuffing anything with toggles these days. Have toggle debuffs become obsolete or am I simply seeing things one sided here? I mean, I play Blasters, Tanks, Brutes, Stalkers, pretty much everything in game with the exception of Sentinels (which I personally find to be an utterly useless class) and I can honestly say, I don't really feel like toggle debuffs are all that great anymore post level 22. I don't know, either I am right or I am wrong or perhaps somewhere in between. What do you guys and gals think?

I wondered about this myself. I wanted the old taunt back, unsure why it was ever needed to change. It used to be (iirc) that the large bodied Tanks would get the Arh (which to me sounded way better and more intimidating) while the small bodied tanks and females got the hur sound. Now they all get the same taunt...bah. So yes, I am right there with you, either change it back to what it used to be or give us the option. I thumbs up this thread.

I do the same thing, my emails are pretty much always full. I'm thinking more prime time server full at this point. Next time it happens, check to see what the pop is. Also try returning the item to yourself, see if that works and let me know. I don't know for sure that it works, it's just an idea.

If these are items that you have sent yourself, return to sender to refresh the time on them. It also sounds like there could be some lag involved here, either from your end or the server's end...meaning, bad internet connection. Or this could also be something that happens on a full server at prime time. Just some things to consider. What server are you on? I'm on Excelsior and I give myself lots and lots of merits from time to time, never experiences this though...at least not personally.

@33053222 Ice_Warden pretty much said everything I would have said and better. All I can do is add to it. You need to realize that for the longest time, players who played chaotically were very far and few in between. I hardly ever ran into them. However, over the years playing in this way seems to have grown more and more popular, which is fine, play the way you want to. However, that does not mean that *I* have to play with that person. Like Ice_Warden says, there are those of us who prefer a little order in our teams and there are those that prefer total chaos. Those two types of players just simply;y put, don't mix. At all. All I wanted to know, which the answer had been answered a long time ago, was how did this happen? When and why did this chaotic play style happen? But like I said, I got my answer from many perspectives a long time ago.

Yeah, sometimes it spawns up and off to the right of her, other times it spawns right on her. Frustrating and I feel your pain.

You are absolutely correct. However, since the Devs here seem to tackle one of the low priority bugs from time to time, and since this bug does affect everyone and the fact it has been around for an insanely long time, I feel it should be a priority bug fix on the QoL Improvements list of bugs to fix. Ultimately it is up to the Developers to decide, but there it is. The ball is in their court now.

I didn't think the bidding part worked, only the sell outright function worked. Never use the bid function though because I never thought it worked. I could be wrong, but that's just how I remember it. Edit: It still sells to the highest bidder though iirc.

Click on her feet, it has always worked for me. Gotta lower your camera though to ground level, then click her feet.

The Devs for Cake servers are pretty easy to find on Discord. You could jump on their discord and ask around if they would be interested in looking in to this. If they take an interest, perhaps they could get to the bottom of it and share the information with the other servers. For reasons of bugs in game that not every Dev can tackle all at once, it would be of everyone's best interest to share bug fixes with one another. I don't know how realistic my idea is, but it's worth a shot, especially since this is one of those bugs that drives you nuts. It's a stretch I know, but there is always a chance.

We agree on your first 2 sentences and partially agree on your last sentence. It may not be a huge priority, however, in the class of small bugs here and there, I feel this bug should take priority in that list of small bugs to fix here and there.

There has to be something else at play here. I have Sudden Acceleration in my Dawn Strike (and all other KB AoEs) and none of them knock back...not even when used against Clockwork, who usually still knock back even when hit with a knock down. So I am not sure what is causing your issue, but it's something outside the parameters of the IO. I would start checking on all your other IO's and see if any of the other set bonuses actually increase KB. Let me know, this bug interests me.
