Thread: My farewell...
The "Knock Down" bug has gotten the better of me, and I find myself actually getting angry now. I'm sure many people experience this is there own way and perhaps on different degrees. I have had ONE Jedi mission since the CU wherein I was actually incapped while standing. This bug when combined with the awesome power of Armor Break makes for a very short Jedi encounter. I DO appericate the fact that the Devs have finally "locked" Jedi from their houses, however, they have only come out to KD spam. This wouldn't be a problem at all, as most professions have a Knock Down Recovery as part of their special abilities, and the player merely losses "a turn". This, however, is not what I experience...getting KDed will result in my death 90% of the time.
So I bid you all well with the new system, and I will be looking for a KD recovery "fix" before I will return. It is interesting though, that I would find something even more annoying then any Jedi "exploit". It's when you lose over and ovar again, yet you KNOW you have the power to last much longer and possibly even win....if you could JUST stand up.
Thanks to all who actually know me....I do look forward to returning, I hope.
Just move along and hope for someone to sack and replace the dev-team
And we lose yet another Vet to the Dev's complete incompetence.
Anyone been noticing a trend here? More and more Vets are leaving. Check out the OP's register date. 2 year Vet.

I appericate your efforts to help resolve this "issue", but you will have to trust me. My mind AND action always usually always more then half full....why do you think I get so angry? I've died enough to a Jedi when I deserved it to know that I should NOT be dying because I simply cannot stand up.
I'll put it to you like THIS:
I once dueled a player on our server 3 times in a row (non-Jedi)...all 3 times his first attack was a KD....all three times I never got up.
IF SWG wants to "nudge" everyone into PvE...well that's fine, but I'd rather stay with PvP, and if the Devs won't give me a choice, then I always have option C(ancle).
1) never had that problem in pvp
2) BHs have never had trouble standing when I knock them down

Its not a bug, you are doing something wrong. knockdown lasts less than a second if you hit knockdown recov, and then can not be reapplied for over 60 seconds. Better than before, when you could dizzy knockdown, and be unable to get up for like 10 minutes!
Vet? Did you play pre-CU?

I suggest you do a forum search about this issue, rather then speaking for everyone. Knock Down recovery does NOT have a 60 second cool down. Furthermore I know of Jedi that have had the same problem.
It's NOT better then before...Pre-CU the dizzy KD had a counter, it was called "Dizzy Defense" CA's and AA's, as well as Knock Down defense CA's and AA's.
This "issue" has no defense.
I said knockdown has a 60 second timer, not recovery. (I.e. you cna onlt be knocked down once a minute, think its longer actually)
Recovery is insta:
Get knocked down
Hit recovery
Get hit for 200 more damage or so
Stand up
Whats so hard?
Hell I was fighting Avatar NPCs the other day, they love spamming knockdown, not once did I have a problem recovering.
yeah i know what youre talking about. i had this happening to me too. fortunately not in a situation where it mattered a whole lot.
also i often channel while meditating. now i had it happen that i got the message you cannot channel while sitting.
ive fought tucheck or (tubeck) before and he had the kd bug pretty bad... this was maybe a month ago

It most definitely is a bug. I get hit with it a lot and everytime I do it results in immediate death -- the Jedi gets 10 free hits while I'm knocked down. However, I think it's a bit ... childish to quit the game over something like this.
The bug happens when you are spamming a special attack when you get knocked down. I think the system keeps the command you were spamming in the queue and continues to try to execute it while you're knocked down. It continues to try to execute it in a loop. I think somehing like the "clear combat queue" line command might help in these situations. I haven't had the time to test it, but I plan to make a macro that clears the combat queue before attempting the KD recovery action.
