Miss_DeStalker

Hiya Mac,

I always give them a gentle poke as soon as they get into the position for the AS, but recently I would hit and the AS would still land.

I took a couple of months away from COH around the dire i13 and came back after i14 had arrived. At first I thought it was my re-action time that was at fault, but now I don't think that is the issue.

For example, last night I was baiting a spine/regen stalker on me and I purposely stood still because I knew he was going to try and AS me, both times I interrupted his AS and both times it got through. Just rather annoying at times that I cannot trust my own judgment anymore and I have to hope that it doesn't get through.

I'm a WP scrapper with maxed out perc, I see stalkers at 10ft. Sometimes while standing I see them goto AS and I have a bind that auto targets the enemy and I poke with one on my spines powers. This should interrupt their AS and bring them out of hide. Lately, I interrupt the AS, but the AS still hits me. It shouldn't if I interrupt it.

Sorry for not being clear in the first place

Has anyone else noticed that Stalker AS sometimes does not interrupt? I have noticed this recently after issue 14, I would hit them just as the start the AS and yet the AS would still hit.

I know that something has changed and I am just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

Thanks,

Hiya Neeto,

Do you have a build you can show to give us an example how to do this?

Well someone is up at this time and I see plenty of moderators on this board, and I even saw a red name here too.

Maybe you haven't noticed but the info we get in game actually states to go to the forum for further information as to why the game is shutting down, so would it be to hard to actually do this for a change?

Yes Actually It would be nice for a change. Maybe it is only me I suppose.

And FYI, I actually tried to log on this morning and could not. I came to the forums to see why the game had shut down early and there was nothing, no post to suggest why the servers were down. So don't assume I was playing when it happened.

I'm not complaining, I just don't see why we have to put up with this every time they put the servers down and give no explanation before hand.

As I said they must have known about this about at least 30 minutes before they did it, so how hard could it not have been to post something 5 minutes before hand?

Why because I told he could stop bitchin at the OP?

There was no reason for that at all and you know it

It could be I15.

He asked a legitimate question and there was no reason for this answer at all. I totally agree with the OP here. NCSofts customer relations is terrible at times and I do not see why a quick post here 5 minutes before the down time couldn't have been done.

I am quite sure they knew about this 30 minutes before hand and could have quite easily posted something regarding the early shutdown.

So you see sire, quite your bitchin at other on this forum, I take nothing to be nice.

I have played this game now for over 5 years and I have seen many changes come and go, some good, but so many I feel are so bad and are really hurting this game in many ways.

Today I decided to create a new alt on freedom, and I have to say that the endurance usage has gone through the roof. I find that after using my powers twice, I do not have enough endurance to do anything else and at first I thought that my imagination was playing tricks on me until everyone else started saying the same thing.

I know that being a lowbie alt should be hard and I accept that, but I really have to say that all this power balancing every issue and patch is now beginning to get me down with this game. It seems Castle you are just not intent on balancing, re-balancing and then changing your mind again, it really begins to seem that you are just changing powers for the sake of changing them and nothing more.

Personally, rather than reducing everyone’s alts into blandness, maybe you guys could actually spend a little more time on content, bug fixing and other little things that might make playing this game more enjoyable rather than what we have right now. In 5 years, I have never seen this game as buggy and as horrible as it is now to play.

/rant off

Same here, can I have them back please?

On a side note: This is really sloppy, the amount of bugs that are passing through with each Issue patch is gaining. You can always tell how bad software is by the amount of bugs that you do see compared to the amount that you don't. COH really needs to set up some Q/A before releasing this on to us.

Two stars, could do better.

You know what I and many other people would like to see who have slower computers, the ability to turn off everyones nice glowing effects so that we can still run 8 man teams without all the frame lag.

Because the way I see it, you are gonna add even more to that frame lag now with all this stuff.

I would like to add that since issue 11 I frequently rubberband all the time now, this is more noticable when using SS or SJ. This happenes regardless of what time I am on, how many people are or what area I am in.

My computer is well within the specs required and as I said, I never had these issues before I11.

Just like another poster, I have continues dropouts and spikes all the time. And no it is not my connections either. (I had my cable company check the line and connection).

In all the time I have played COX (three years now) I have never known this game to be so buggy and less time spent towards fixing long standing bugs.

You can resist Placate....you resist it by cutting the effective time by half if I am not mistaken. SO instead of a full 10 second placate, it only works for 5 seconds on you.

The desciption in the assult power states 'You are resistant to taunt and placate'. Not that you are slightly resistant to taunt and placate'

If you are resistant, then it mean it does not effect you in any shape or form, the way placate works just now is that it shorten the amount of time in half that placate would normally work on you.

So they should either change the wording or change the power to work as stated. It is really misleading.

I have to agree with you regarding your topic. It has always been the case that if there are more than three em stalkers with 3+ stealth in a zone then the TP foe ganking will start. It is bad enought that sometimes you wont see a 3+ stealth till you have been AS but to have them placate you and come in for the kill makes it even worse. Yes I know that is part of your build and many of you have spend many hours prefecting this tactic, but what a lot of you forget is that there is always a counter measure (or really there should be).

In the leadership pool we have Assualt, it states that while active you will be resistant to taunt and placate, but this in fact not true. So you could say this was to nerf the ability for a counter on a stalker when being placated. Also, if you read the description for 'Breakfrees' it does mention that it helps reduce placate. So what I am reading it that hell with those powers because I am a stalker and I WANT placate to work everytime all the time when I WANT it to work?

Well I would LIKE assualt to work as it states, when I toggle that power I would LIKE it so that I am palcate resistant all the time, 100% of the time and just not shorten the effect time on the castor.
