ROSING Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Say it ain't so. This more than anything will kill melee-only for all of us Sword Aloners. If we are unable to defend outserlves against knockdown attacks, no one is going to be using melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armedpoop Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 This was a stealth nerf. Yes, you can no longer block knockdown attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakosta_Kai Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I saw this yesterday and just assumed I had run out of stamina... Is this an actual stealth nerf or a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shut Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) This was a stealth nerf. Yes, you can no longer block knockdown attacks.If this was intended, then I don't even know what to say to the devs anymore. Nerfing Excal and nerfing melee in a single update? I mean, what's next, nerfing the Ballistica's damage? Reducing the Torid's status chance? Changing the Machete's damage type to "impact"?It's one thing to be out of touch with the playerbase, but I legitimately cannot understand what they were trying to accomplish with these changes. I wouldn't expect to see crap of this level even from trashy companies like Nexon. For shame, DE. Edited March 21, 2015 by SortaRandom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grievous10 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Melee was already S#&$ before this change and now they throw nails into the coffin? This change has to be reverted immediately and while we are at it DE has to finally revamp the Blocking System... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grom-84 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Yep i agree, i hate that they removed charged attacks and given those pathetic channeling bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9IR_nullfield Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 This is probably unintentional, but who knows with the amount of stealth nerfs and bugs in this update. I'd like to see a dev response and/or fix to this issue, as I frequently rely on melee when fighting heavies and this makes things difficult.

DarkLizalfos Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I saw this yesterday and just assumed I had run out of stamina... Is this an actual stealth nerf or a bug? Would be a hilarious event if it was a side effect from adding that new melee grineer unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keltik0ne Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 You have to remember, DE has one of the largest and most talented Bug Addition Teams in the industry. You have to remember, incompetence is more likely than malevolence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROSING Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Well, if we could get an official word from DE, that'd be great. This isn't something that you can throw under the rug, we're talking an entire play-style being compromised here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An_Atheist Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Isn't it weird how all the bad crap has happened after pwe bought shares. Seems a bit coincidental to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShardsSuperior Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Isn't it weird how all the bad crap has happened after pwe bought shares. Seems a bit coincidental to me. And this is how conspiracy theories got started. -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yles9056 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 And this is how conspiracy theories got started. -.- I don't see how this change/nerf makes people spend more money on WF. It only annoys people. Seriously, not being able to block knock down attacks is just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riot_Inducer Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 IT'S BEEN FIXED!! At least the patch notes say so..can anyone confirm this? Haven't looked at the patch notes but I can confirm I've been blocking heavy gunner knockdowns and eximus fire waves with no problem tonight.
