Wait, Power Boost no longer affects Knockback? Must've missed that note on the journey.

Thanks Roderick, but that's not what I'm looking for- it's too recent (by nearly three years >.>).
The ones I'm thinking of- and I'm reasonably certain there was more than just one- had the Hellions launched somewhere in the vicinity of two miles or more, and they actually tracked them- the viewpoint switched to another character that chased them down/marked their landing spot. I seem to fuzzily remember it being from one of the bridges to the warehouse district on the other side of AP...
And also, like I said, it was from before the Power Boost-stops-affecting-KB patch (that's one change that I never really understood... what kind of game-breaking was boosted knockback causing, anyways? As far as I know, it was mostly used to punt Hellions into low orbit...)

I'd say it was gamebreaking for pvp.

It wasn't game breaking for pvp. The only way you could get knockback like that was level 50s on level 1s. I know because I used to punt hellions myself.
And I remember those videos too TeChamelion. They involved characters in that little park with the lake. One would launch a Hellion towards Atlas and the other would skeet shoot the hellion then run after it with SS.

Do you mean the ones discussed here?

So, as the title implies... I went looking for some of those old videos that used to be on Youtube of the knockback experiments where some luckless Hellion gets launched 3/4 of the way across Atlas Park back when Power Boost still affected Knockback. Oddly, I've found nothing. Does anyone have any idea where they went, or if there are still any out there?
