Prone

[beia]

Prone is when you are knocked off your feet, you have to manually type stand when you have recovered before you can do any other commands. You would get the message, you have to stand up first. So bash/trip/air thrash/grapple and maybe I'm missing some but all would make you prone for a few moments.

This is in response to the diminishing effectiveness of lag skills, isn't it?

[Vevier]

So you want to have another command to type after you've been bashed? Sounds pretty easy to trigger #tr {you are knocked prone} {stand}.

Why do you think this would be a valuable contribution to the game?

[beia]

It keeps people aware and does not let them just spam shit and hope they get lucky, if you get bashed you should have to react. If you get grappled to the ground you should have to stand up. Its that simple. If you trigger it then you trigger it fine, but still its a command you have to input.

[Slogosh]

I see beia's point. It punishes people who spam, much like lag skills used to punish spamming.

Vevier, there is precedent for creating a new thing to trigger. People put being disarmed to trigger getting their weapon.

This is also true of weapon switches. You must use an extra command for weapon styles that involve shield so it is best triggered.

I'm not understanding what's trying to be conveyed here. Not that I have to...I'm just another player. Can someone translate for me?

[Olyn]

You realize that this would accomplish the opposite of your intent, right?

[Nycticora]

I think you can already go prone via the "dive" command

Please reply with constructive comments. Thanks. I am looking for feedback not sarcasm and asinine comments.

[Olyn]

Oh, I was being serious. Having to manually stand up would allow the player to clear his spammed commands, resulting in the opposite of your intent. I think the current mechanic is fine because the guy who spammed his commands is stuck with them.

You can't dirt kick while on the ground!

You are finally able to stand up.
stand
You stand up.
dirt
Your kick dirt scratches other guy.

[Slogosh]

That's not what I read.

Dirt

Dirt

Dirt
-you must stand up first-
You have been KILLED!


How would it clear their spam? Just induce the same lag as the attempted move. If you wanted to put it in the game.

[Olyn]

That would be inconsistent with every other skill behavior in the game when conditions aren't met.

disarm
They're not wielding a weapon.

trip
Their feet aren't on the ground.

barrage
You aren't dual wielding.

sideswipe
You aren't wearing a shield.

You'd better stand up first.

[Slogosh]

I see what you mean.

[Vevier]

I think it's counterintuitive to tell my character to stand when she's been knocked down. I don't need to tell my character to breath, I shouldn't need to tell a fighter to get up off the ground and keep fighting.

[tayyah]

isnt this already implemented?? fuck happens to me all the time from those damn lady rangers!

lady ranger trips you
you better stand up first
you better stand up first
you better stand up first

That was part of my bid for further clarification up there. I've run into the same kind of thing. Still, I went ahead and addressed it the way I did to err on the fact I'm a noob, and maybe I imagined it.

Or something.

Yeah.
