Haijinx Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) People already ask Eng blasters if they have the procs slotted. So thinking there won't be drama around a toggle is naive. The solution to a teammate with too much knockback is to charge in front of them so you get your AOEs off first. Leeroy! Edited January 18, 2020 by Haijinx 3 1

And if said toggle is a low cost/free from the P2W vendor there should be no issue here, outside of the persons unwillingness to play nice with others for the duration of the group. Right now, I can see it being a pain due to the cost of said IOs, and moving enhancements slots around to make room. And if your argument really is "they already do that" then a toggle knockdown IO will make things easier for group leaders, and the energy blasters.

The team isn't a victim. The KB'er isn't a victim. Everyone's just playing the game. It's YOU who is grasping at that label. What I don't get is, there is already a vocal enough subset of people that complain about KB and stuff, most advocates of KB are already careful of it. Most n00bs are steered clear of it buy those vocal crowds. I see more players spamming AoE immobs than I see spamming AoE KB without the proc. I see more broken Bonfire users than Nova users by a mile, but the hint that a few targets got flung away and you're the victim? If I were calling anyone a victim, it'd be the people you guys scare away from every trying powers with KB. But to reiterate, there aren't any victims here, just pretenders. 4 2

You are correct, and many people keep making the argument "Well if they add a toggle that means people will bully me into using it..." Making there even less reason to not have a knockdown toggle

Making there even less reason to not have a knockdown toggle Whether that'd happen or not is yet to be seen because the situation doesn't exist. For all I know, harassment could occur from it. But I don't really agree fully with that rationality anyway. I could see skilled users with a no-animation/cast toggle like described as being very powerful and useful... ...but I don't want the toggle because you people don't need more power (I'm talking about everyone: those that would utilize controlled KB and KB>KD swapping on the fly, and elitists who must keep everything contained in tiny balls to mindlessly AoE stuff down). If you want your KB to be KD, slot for it like you do now. End of story. Edited January 18, 2020 by Leogunner 1 1 2

You don't speak for the other 2-7 players. And unless that specific individual says something, you don't know how they feel. This isn't about the other teammates, this is about you not liking knock back, that is it. These teammates you mentioned, you are merely using them as props, as things, to put some moral spin on this subject to hopefully get what you want. Like I said earlier, this argument is pure bullshit. 3 1 1 The Trevor Project

Like I said earlier, this argument is pure bullshit. I have been thanked for removing people with Hurricane on all the time. Frequent users of Dimension Shift and yes, even Energy Blasters. Its bullshit to you because you dont want it to be true. Because you cannot refute them other than calling them bullshit I have never ever once had someone else leave/or the group falling apart because I removed someone being a detriment/troll/bad player And you are correct, I hate knockback. Not sure why it had to be said by you since it was said by me the entire thread. 1 1 1
