As soon as I saw patch 7 come out I was excited. Today I got around to dueling my friend and seeing how the dizzy works. I start the duel, use fullauto area 2 and the dizzy mark comes up, yes! I KD him using chargeshot. Then, to my dismay, he gets right back up! I tried to dizzy with all the "dizzy" moves. None of them worked!! Hmmmmmmm?? wats the deal!?

When you get hit with dizzy/KD dont spam stand. Your friend knew this and he got up fine. Dizzy is basically a state that only works on people who dont know what they are doing.

Before the patch you cuold get up from dizzy/Kd only if you had combat equilibrium. I'm not 100 % sure but I think that I saw a dev post somewhere that they, with this patch, have added a kind of innate combat equilibrium, so that everyone would have some (possibly small) chance of getting up even though dizzy/Kd'd. It is perhaps this that has been seen? Should be visible in both PvP and PvE, and explains why some have gotten up and some have falled back down.

Also as was said earlier, don't spam stand. Press stand, then wait and see if this gets you up. If you get up and thenhit stand again you will fall back down, so only press standagain when you're sure it didn't work.

Also, when you have them dizzy even after chargeshot use actionshot2 on them, this posture change should cause them to fall down again.

Dizzy/KD has never been 100% reliable at holding somebody down. I have gotten up from a TKM before, but not nearly often enough

Consider yourself lucky to get the Dizzy to stick, the chance is pretty low. Although I went out with a lower level Carbineer and let him play with the new attacks and he stuck states on Rav Tortons pretty easy. I am sure during my normal Rancor huntingthat it won't be that easy, but there are a lot of variables at work here for all the states.

During my first duel Tuesday night, I found there to be at least 5 sec of lag on the dizzy symbol. One time I KD'd him with Dizzy and he stood up right after the 5 sec KD timer and I was like, **edit**. He said the Dizzy left before he got up but my screen still showed the Dizzy. During the same duel I held him down with Dizzy and after we BOTH saw the dizzy symbol go away, he still couldn't get up for nearly 10 seconds.....all a bit weird.

I also found the best way to make them flop like a fish is with Posture Change, but that is maybe due to the higher firing rate compared to ChargeShot or simply the fact I don't want to spam KD.

Even with the inconsistencies, THE DIZZY/KD DOES WORK AND HAS BEEN VERIFIED NUMEROUS TIMES SO STOP SAYING IT IS BROKE.

Its not working for me.

I can get a dizzy to stick on a target with FS2 very easily, but posture change attacks don't cause them to fall and MOBs/NPCs/Players have gotten right up from a chargeshot knockdown while dizzied every time I've used it...meanwhile I got Dizzied by a Hanadak on Endor last night and it put me on the ground for the duration of the effect. meh.

You got pretty bad luck man, just ask Chatterer how it feels to flop on the ground.

As Firehawk said, dizzy does not work 100%. Also, dizzy + posture change does not make something fall down. The target has to change posture. If you dizzy a target and then force them kneeling and they stay kneeling, they have no chance of falling down. NPCs like to knee and go prone so this can give the false impression it isn't working.

In addition, I am hearing many reports that it is working just fine. Please try things more than once before you come to boards complaining they don't work.
