[quote="WHOOSH"]Correct me if I'm wrong, but flinch was only temporarily removed due to causing server issues, I think? Anyway with flinch not being in-game it has given an opportunity to have a think about whether or not flinch is a good thing for the game (for me anyway). Personally I think with the evolution of these machine gun bow's everyone and their dog seem to have nowadays, flinch was getting a little out of control for the low dex built char's. I think if it's brought back then it should work slightly differently, and every time you are hit you have a 50% chance to flinch or some reasonable variant of that number. I feel like the old way was too much, but no flinch isn't enough, some middle ground would be ideal IMO.[/quote]

[quote="TALLER"]If I remember from Finito's streams, it's been removed on purpose. [/quote]

[quote="GRIMPIRATE"]Afro mentioned a walk animation instead of flinch. a % chance would be good![/quote]

[quote="H4WKEYE"]Is there a real need for it to return? Currently its main 'pro' is to slow people enough to drop stone which is op in itself [/quote]

[quote="PHARMA"]m_iRunSpeed = 380; m_iWalkSpeed = 680; currently add m_iFlinchSpeed = 530; so ur inbetween run and walk speeds when being hit (apply with a timer if hit. movement speed = this for 1000ms after being hit then revert back to normal. so if u get out of range after 1 second u go back to normal speed[/quote]

Currently its main 'pro' is to slow people enough to drop stone which is op in itself [/quote] I like that you switched from your mage to post this. :P I feel like without flinch tank's/mage are given a huge advantage vs previously, and if it was reduced to 50% chance or even to Pharma's suggestion (I'd make it less than a whole second after every hit definitely though). I do like the walking for a duration after being hit, would maybe make it so u walk for 500ms after being hit at range 1, at range 2+ then it goes to a 50% chance of walking for 500ms or something, would probably need tweaking with all these machine bows as I said before, but I think this is a lot better than the current situation personally.[/quote]

[quote="MERLIN"]It wasnt intentional, not such an issue on dsoma because not every1 has 5th axe or the outrageous bowspeeds[/quote]

[quote="WHOOSH"]IMO no flinch actually plays into the hands of tank (axe) - and mage. Before you could hamstring them on their way in, now if you don't really hurt you're mostly wasting your time.[/quote]
