I slotted the proc and another piece into Guarded Spin, and ran 2 TFs and 4-5 Solo missions without a single KD. I didn't check the combat log to see if it was going off without having any effect, or if it is just not proc-ing at all. Anyone else noticing this? |

I am assuming he knows that Eric...regardless, even if he didnt, saying he saw NO kd, in that many missions...it is quite obvious that he didnt see one from the power he had it in.

He's clearly looking for KD being added to other powers, which this set does NOT do...right?

You are wrong about what I meant and are completely mis-reading my statements, though I could have been a bit more specific in my OP, I guess. |

That sounds to me like he clearly does NOT understand how it works. Unless I'm completely missing the boat here, my understanding of this set is that it affects KB/KD only on the power it's slotted in. He's clearly looking for KD being added to other powers, which this set does NOT do...right? |
To be clear:
1. I know how the set is supposed to work. Unique to one power affecting that power only. It will convert KB to KD if the power does KB, otherwise it is supposed to add a 20% chance of KD to the power in which it is slotted.
2. Through use in one of my characters that DOES have KB in the power in which the Enhancement was slotted, I see that it correctly converted my KB to KD.
3. Through use in another character that does NOT have KB in the power in which the enhancement was slotted, I see that it is NOT causing any knockdown whatsoever. The power in question is an AoE cone that is used often, so over 2 trials and 5 solo missions at 2x8, I should have been able to notice at least one instance of a KD.
Hope that clarifies things. Has anyone else experienced or tested this to see if it is just me?
PS: I clearly stated the power I put it in when I mentioned seeing no KD procs at all, so I was CLEARLY NOT looking for KD to be added to powers w/o the Proc in them, as you stated. While I made generalized comments that may have added some ambiguity, you mis-read the OP.

Are you getting a combat log entry when the proc is firing off? It might show up in the pet and/or healing channel, or it might be under the damage one.
The chance to KD proc is designed in a peculiar way, I think to try to prevent it from stacking with the existing effects that have had their KB magnitude reduced.
I think that's most likely the cause of the issue. If someone who has the proc (I haven't been on enough to run the new event yet) can confirm that they are seeing combat log entries that enemies have been knocked down by the proc when they in fact have not, I'll PM Synapse/Hawk the details.

Get off your high horse, the proc is broken and is NOT currently having an effect on powers with "ticks" such as Guarded Spin.

There is an additional 'proc' effect on the +KD/KB-to-KD enhancement ... it sometimes does an extra visual effect. The effect is an explosion of sparks? & fires off at a separate rate from the +KD effect ... any attack by the power with the enhancement can get the visual even if the KD doesn't fire. It is a little tricky to see (for me at any rate.)

Wow...I don't really care whether it's "broken" or not, I was just trying to read his post. So very sorry that my misinterpretation of his wording offended you so...

I know Goliath Bird Eater? Was having issue with it not firing as well...I have yet to get s second one!
I have tried it slotted on a few powers, and it shows up in damage log, but never affect the target. Tried on Combustion, Fire Sword and few others, I believe all had damage ticks
I slotted it into my Electric Tank's dmg aura; Lightning Field. Combat logs "show" the proc firing, but none of the mobs surrounding the Tank were bounced by kd. I tried it on a number of different mobs, including grey conning mobs, but still no kd.

On Shin Breaker I'm seeing it in the combat log but no animations.
I have had mine work only on click powers from nrg,nrg blaster.
Ill try my tanks later
Can we put it on the market yet? quite a convenient "bug" for them at launch.

Since the auction bug is another effect of the same thing that prevents it from being chat-linked, which is just a temporary thing to prevent leaks (try to link Water Blast powers on live right now - the only one that works, as of last week, is Whirlpool), I find it really, really easy to believe that this really was not intentional.

I noticed this. Completed the set yesterday and put it into Smite, which is probably the most used attack on my DM scrapper. Not one KD trigger in several missions, nor did it appear in the combat log.

It shows up in the log for me, but does not KD anything. I sent some info to Arbiter Hawk and he confirmed that it's broken at the moment.

Thanks very much for taking the time to confirm with the devs that this is a known issue. I am assuming AH did not provide any sort of timetable for a fix, or you would have mentioned that, right?

Do you have any hybrid slots unlocked?
Are any of your characters +1 yet?
Do you have any hamios?
Do you have any super insp at all?
Do you have any acolaides at all?
Do you have a badger?
It does not matter what you said yet to or not.... This is a game a video game that is 8 years old. You have to play it to get a 50 you have to play it to get a badge, a level shift, a merit, whatever...
This is no different than the winter event or any other event.
I understand this is not working as intended but it will and it works great on some toons. And on some powers. I think the only real problem that the devs have in this regard besides the "bug"
And this is my biggest piss off with them.
Its another lack of communication, Another lack of talking to and pacifying their customers!
Let us know its broke and that youll fix it.
let us know there is a Bug here or there, let us know its not state secret. Talk to us. You do anyways.
I thinkthe problem is the Development team does not have a public realations person in the game and if they do well that person sucks rikti monkey scalp.
Just let us know what is going on in the game were paying for. Espessially when its been pointed out ad nauseum by the players. You have to know so just say hey we have an issue here and make it a GMOTD done. Thanks problem "not solved" but calmness reinstated.
It seems to convert KB to KD just fine, but it is not adding KD to other powers (which it is supposed to do).
