Power Description Error


 

Posted

I noticed tonight that Lightning clap in electric melee for brutes states that it knocks foes down in the description, but it's really a knockback. I already /bugged it in game, but I thought I'd post it here also and see if anyone else wants to post any other power description errors they've come across. If we get a good sized list going it could be helpful for the devs.

Knockdown is knockback with a magnitude less than 1. If you have any KB enhancers in Lightning Clap, it will do knockback instead. Are you *sure* this is an error?

Also some foes are weak to knockback, which turns knockdown into knockback on them.

Also, weaker foes have a lower resistance to knockback, which turns knockdown into knockback on them. Are you fighting -1's? That'll do it.


The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise. ; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

It does knockback under normal conditions:

I thought there was already a semi-official thread about text errors from a while back?

Yeah, I tested it against even con arachnos soldiers in Grandville and it's not slotted for knockback.

I don't know how long ago that other thread was done, but it couldn't hurt to make another since someone might report something that wasn't in the other thread, or someone might find something that the devs thought was fixed but really wasn't.
