Commando Archive

My TKA friend used dizzy, then lunge on an imp NPC, which indirectly knocked him down (and this method WILL get around the knockdown timer post patch!) Well, as you know, a dizzied/knockdowned opponent takes 2x dmg in that state...

6117 dmg with my rocket launcher. No, it wasnt the "ham bug" where it gives the total ham on kill -- this NPC had 9000+ to each ham.

Thats a direct hit, folks. Just imagine if commando had knockdown..... knockdown + AR3 weapons = love.

BTW, look at the # above the head, not in combat chat: 6110... bwahahha!

Makes me glad im going Commando/TKA

That's not how much damage you did...that's how much HAM it had. Happens on npc mobs i kill too, last shot comes up big numbers showing how much ham it had.

No, it is how much damage I did. The npc had 9k ham, and I hit it in mind -- it was actually killed by my TK friend in health.

Look in combat chat, I hit for 3700 raw -- he was knocked down, which is 2x multiplier to damage, so 6110 is highly plausable.

...was he holding a rifle cause that would explain it... 2x for the dizzy/nockdown and 2.5x? for a rifle would be about maybe 1200 damage... so thats not to impossible

correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't the x3 penalty for using a rifle only apply if you're attacked in melee while wielding a rifle?

according to a bunch of posts all over that 3x(i always forget how many x it is) even applies to npc's you attack if they are holding a rifle, and i am pretty sure that when its a pc using a rifle they always get the 3x by pistol, melee... or even another rifleman.. if i was on my good comp i would run around and double check but alas i am tired and on a horible comp right now so my mind is kinda gone for the night

Idov still posting though should be passed out...

It's only a melee damage modifier. If you have a rifle and I hit you with a sword you take 2.5x damage. If you have a rifle and I shoot you with a pistol or anything else you take 1x damage.

Stevefett: Good job on the rocket hit, but something I think you and your friends need to check on. The Knockdown timer isn't going to apply just to knockdown attacks only, but also do 'posture' change attacks. What exactly that means I'm not sure on, because 30 sec timer on unarmed lunge is pretty pointless, as you can't make a target prone, but it is stated in the Holo post about the new knockdown changes. Maybe you should check with some TC TKA's to double check.

what are the stats on that rocket launcher? was it the faction one or player made?

mine has max damage of 571 and i have yet to see a hit go over 1000 damage on anything.

Where did you get your Rocket Launcher?
