Thread: Decreased KD timer to 5 seconds... explanation?

NO that's not what it means. There is a 30 second timer on KD and the effect lasts for only 5 seconds instead of the 15 it used to last for.
. . . She is so dumb she has to make everything sound bad, they are decreasing the 'duration' of the effect so that they will stay down longer; and I am fairly sure they are making it so we can use KD every 5 seconds, Selwynn has been wrong in the past and this is prolly the case now.

um first off the timer that you stay down is already 5 seconds. and the previous timer was never 15 seconds it was 10 seconds at most and usually it was less than that. i really think there changing the timer that the KD works from 30 now to 5 meaning back to kd spammers and back to ebing more useless in pvp now with more ranged spammers
im pretty sure shes right. I think some items in the notes are items from the last big patch i think not sure thou. Thought i heard them say that

This is just sort of a side note, not quite off topic but almost! ![]()
Has anyone noticed that Dizzy + Lunge1 = more down time for NPCs than Dizzy/KD or KD2?
Since NPCs wielding melee weapons cannot attack while kneeling, what I have been doing is hitting Dizzy followed by Lunge1. The result is the mob goes down on 1 knee for 2 seconds, stands up, falls down for 2 seconds and then eventually stands up with a small delay and finally attacks me again.
Compare this to Dizzy+KD where the mob falls on its back for 2 seconds (if you are lucky) and gets right back up and nails ya. So, at the moment Dizzy+Lunge1 is better than KD2 (vs. NPCs, creatures of course aren't really affected). Go figure!

Am i the only one who reads the tc forums? Granted it's hard when there's so much activity on that forum, but someone posts the results of the KD change there. As i recall the 5seconds timer is how long the person will remain on their backs. Meaning if i kd you down, you can't just hit /stand and get right back up. You will remain down for 5 seconds, it's not just the "delay" but you will be considered down for 5 seconds, meaning i can beat you with double the damage etc.
The 30 seconds timer for all posture changes are still in effect. And they are fixing the dizzy for NPCs. So Npcs will be the best thing to hunt again.
