Stunned since 1.3.3

Super_Sonico

I've noticed that since 1.3.3, every fight, I get stunned and have to break out of it. Before 1.3.3, only 3-5% of stunning attacks would stun me (more often from bosses). Now, it's every time. There's no mitigation for it.

Who else is experiencing this? Is it a known issue with something else? Was it something that was broken before the patch that's now 'fixed', and that's why I'm noticing it (but seriously, no mitigation for it?)?

What's up with being stunned?

Super_Sonico

So has no one noticed this at all?

I'm stunned that you are so stunned about being stunned.

p.s. Not noticed anything different myself.

I know my abilities get locked up (greyed out) all the time and left/right click do nothing at all and I walk really slow (not hiding) quite often and just have to let myself die. I did notice that. Usually happens right after a Shield Charge (but not always the reason). Charge in then my character's locked up and can only walk really slow and sometimes I can only turn.

I wasn't aware that stun attacks operated on a chance system.

If any enemy hits you with a stun attack, and you don't block, dodge, or interrupt said attack, you get stunned. This hasn't changed.

I am noticing this a lot and has forced me to quit playing. After todays patch ill try again to see if it keeps happening.

Before 1.3.3. this wasn't true for me. I was hardly ever 'taking a knee' like I am now. Now, it's every fight. Something's changed.

I stun and get stunned. Only noticed a couple of times where after it wore off ability to do anything other than move didn't work. So I let a guy that should have insta died after I recovered, had to wait while he slowly killed me.... It happens. If this thing were to happen in WoW, which has been around for a literal decade, I might be more concerned about it. But four month after go live, which I really enjoy, isn't a big deal to me.

I am often locked in stun....left/right combo should break free but I don't until some timer expires. Perhaps my stamina has run out or something lol

Then somehow you were the only person exploiting a serious mechanic bug prior to this, because stuns have never been random.

Nothing new for me. Getting stunned while blocking too.

So by playing the game I'm exploiting? Just... Wow. I think you should return to grammar school.

I noticed this changed also, I think it was broken before the patch.

It was more tongue-in-cheek, because you're mistaken.

If stuns had been broken to that degree, we'd be hearing about it before now. Since beta, every single NPC attack that is supposed to stun/disorient/whatever has done so 100% of the time if you do not dodge/block/interrupt that attack. I don't know what you think was happening before, but you are remembering incorrectly. It has never been up to random chance.

All I know is if I try to do break stun lock while stamina empty it doesn't work. If I try and block invasion without any stamina it doesn't work.

yes...that's correct. You need stamina to block or escape cc..,.

I'm noticing a bit more long stuns, but I'm now on VR content where a week ago I was on non VR so I just chalked it up to harder mobs.

Normally I'd say stuns in an MMO are a sign of pure and utter developer laziness, but since we can break out of them if we manage our stamina I've grown to kind of like the strategy.
