Shockwave Moa.....

[Ceres666]

So i come across this shockwave moa, he starts doing the animation for his shockwave, i do a jump melee attack to knock him down. Knocks him down just fine, and yet, his shockwave still goes off while he's on the ground?

Very, very irritating to say the least.

Please tell me this is not something intended.....

it would - I suspect - entirely depend on whether you were hosting the match or not.

if you were; then yes, it's a bit peculiar.

if not; then it's likely a latency quirk.

As above: latency. Or poor timing.

Additionally, you can simply jump over the shock wave as it extends out from the enemy, then continue on your merry way.

It happens both when i host or when a friend hosts. The moa is clearly on the ground for at least a second or two, yet the shockwave still goes off -_-

Yes i know i can jump the shockwave. My thinking was if i knock HIM down first, then he cant use his shockwave attack. Silly me.

What can I say? I've not had this issue. Knocking down shockwave MOAs keeps them from "firing" their shock wave ability for me.

I've had this issue, but the knockdown animation doesn't even play for me. They are still knocked down however, as I can perform a down attack on them. But even that won't interrupt the shockwave. Only lethal force seems to.

[Mourn]

I have often seen them do a slow motion fall if they're knocked down while charging their shockwave but I don't recall it ever going off after that. It does sound like a latency thing to me.

[Ceres666]

I've seen the slow motion falling animation pretty often, not sure if thats related or not.

However, when i'm playing solo, latency is non-existant and they still manage to stomp while knocked over -_-

I have kicked some down with my Sentinel shooting them with ice lasers so that they feel down in slow motion...3 seconds later a shock wave goes off and shocks me.
