What question should we ask of TH next week?

My suggestion: Fourty percent of the Carbineers specials have a chance to apply the state stun to the target. There are conflicting reports what being stunned actually doesto the target. Can we get a definitive answer what stun does? [We are not asking for numbers just a description of the effect(s).]

I would like to know if our +counterattack mods are working. I have heard rumors that BH's that get carbine skills don't bother with the countarattack line because +25 is no different than +105. I have been doing some pistol lately and it seems I dodge A LOT more often than I ever counterattack, and I don't have near +105 dodge like i do counterattack. It is also rumored that swordsman counterattack DOES work often and the carbine counterattack is NOT working as often as it should

If we don't want to waste this as our 2 week question then maybe we can get some test results or something? Or, if this HAS been tested just point me in the right direction.

Counterattack has already been brought to the Devs as not working as Dodge/Block do.....

Can we expand the question on Stun to an ACCURATE description on all the states? And maybe some "general" numbers too.

I can answer your question. They are not working properly. I have Dev confirmation as well. Getting Counterattack working is on our Top 5 issues.

While in the case of Dizzy it might be remedial, but we should take the opportunity and have spelled out once and for all (until the revamp) what each of the states are and what effects they have on player performance.

There's more to Dizzy than a pain in the neck from standing up and Blind certainly isn't clear either.

We cannot ask for numbers. The Devs have time and time again refused to give out numbers.

I would be interested in the question:

Currently, for all practical purposes, pistols, carbines, and rifles all fire at the same speed (the 1 second speed cap). There was talk about for the combat revamp making pistols faster than carbines, which in turn are faster than rifles. How do the devs envision implementing this (reducing rifles and carbine speed skill mods, putting a hard cap of 2 seconds on rifles and letting pistols duel wield, etc).

Keep in mind though that this question would almost certainly get a "wait and see" answer, so it might be a bad question.

(And yes, I know carbines are functionally much slower than rifles and pistols, due to skill mod breakdown.)

Understandable, if rather... nevermind... Anyway, at least a clear explanation of WHAT these states affect, if not the nitty gritty math behind them.

Does Stun affect speed? Accuracy? Defensive Penalties? If yes, which?

Does Blind affect speed? Accuracy? Defensive penalties? If yes, which?

Does Dizzy affect speed? Accuracy? Defensive penalties? if yes, which?

Its kinda important to have at least a basic understanding of WHAT each state effect has, even if we don't know the EXTENT of the effect.

sub-question:

Can we put the definition of 'Carbicide' in the FAQ?

I like the definiton of states question.

I would also like to know if there is any plantoaddressthe lack ofincentive to reachMaster Carbineer. For instance, will there be a modification to existing Mods, a new Master level special, or perhaps a new wepon certification.

I'd like to restate my previous question...

"Is it possible to add AP bonus' to certain specials. Such as adding an AP1 bonus to Cripple Shot, giving that shot a truly crippling fashion?"

Or if that's to vague or not worded right...

Then...yeah, the stun question.
