How does chain CC in pvp work?

OrphanHelgen

Hello all.

Im currently enjoying some solo plays in IC, and have been doing it for a couple of days now.
I thought that after you got crowd controlled, your character was immune to other crowd control for a small amount of time.
Sometimes I get chain CC's, I break free and immediately get cc'd again.
Im not that experience to recognize exactly what class and skill they use, but I know that the surprise attack from nightblades are really annoying.
Also, is fear the only unblockable cc in game?

thanks for answers

I've need noticing this a lot too. It's almost like CC immunity works for everyone but me. Also, I can't block snares anymore (the ones NPCs use that puts the roots on your feet) I see the wind up, block, and it goes through anyway. Also heavy attacks missing even though the enemy is right in front of me. NPCs seem to be fully immune to roots (like the sorc one, they'll still be able to move around through it) and stuns seems to be only as effective as knockdown.

As for enemy player attacking, I die in seconds due to the problems you described above. 1 guy charges me, knocks me down. I break free, am immediately rooted/snared by talons etc roll dodge out, right into another charge by player 3, and I have no stamina left and I'm totally helpless laying there while they lava whip/wrecking blow me to death. Because CC immunity is totally busted right now.

It seems to me (and I have no idea what I'm talking about, but hear me out) that this is an issue with how accurately or how often the server updates player- or NPC-positions, and usually when it happens, the swing misses because the server registers it as happening behind the NPC you're trying to hit (because you're so close to it, the swing actually passes through to the other side). At least in the cases where it happened to me, taking even a tiny step back usually fixed it. It's annoying for sure, though.

there are soft ccs and hard ccs the hard ones are the ones that you can break free from soft ones would be like roots where you have to dodgeroll or something like that to escape it it wont give you immunity for using it therefore it will work through imunity

Hard ccs are like stuns and knockdowns. You can break free and get immunity.

Soft cc's like roots can keep coming at you.

Someone who is good will first hard cc you, you will break free, and then soft cc you, and that makes the typical player confused enough that they are easier prey. Note that I am not good but this is what I see happen to me. lol.

All CC works like a chocolate covered turd.

They're great to give as a gift, but Its crap when you get one as a gift.

haha well said :-D

And thanks for answers. @Flamebeur also taught me a great tip today, if you have a white whirlwind look spinning around you, you are immune to hard CC.

Cc doesn't trigger immunity properly after IC, I noticed it as soon as my very first encounter. Sometimes it works, but hence the word "sometimes". Same applies to immovability skill and potions, they have a schedule of their own it seems as to when they decide to work or not. And I'm not talking about roots and snares, but hard CC.
Noticed it with my own attacks, some times my CFrags will stun the enemy and right after I streak over them and it stuns them again, and well below the 4 second window CC immunity is supposed to last.

But it is sporadic and random, happens more often in laggy situations, but not always. Sounds like a sync issue with the server, but I could be wrong. Although with the number of bugs post-IC, it's hardly surprising.

Mainly knockbacks are bugged and cause you to get chained CC, its the only thing I really know that avoid CC immunity which is a horrible mechanic... since most knockbacks in game also hit really hard.

Any fear in the game is unblockable also petrify from the DK skill line is unblockable and more that I cant remember off the top of my head
