Please fix the assist calling stunned toons bug!!!!!!

a better question, will the fix bring additional revenue? or is it so flawed as Paying users will quit?

The devs on Reddit said that it is a bug and not intended months ago. It would be a dumb feature.

It was stated back in February as being a problem

But don't hold your breath in a fix.

@Jooba it probably is that simple just like some of the other bugs that are all over this game.

Simple sequence of events that are all messed up.

While they are at it why don't they fix the bug where stunned toons dodge and deflect attacks?

I am guessing here, but I assume the problem has something to do with the assist behavior we see in GW.

In GW, if you don't like the character that assists, you can retreat, put a different character in the same slot as the character who got the assist, and the same slot will get called again, only with the new character you just put in there. This means that the number used to determine the assist slot is predetermined just like all the other numbers used in the combat.

Therefore, they have probably coded themselves into a corner in some way making it hard to put in a check for a stunned character that says "IF status = stunned THEN use different number to determine the slot".

While I am still not sure why this would be so hard to fix, I haven't seen their code either. So I just have to take it on faith that it is really that hard of an issue to fix. Or perhaps they are completely rewriting the way numbers are generated for combat and fixing this problem in the current code base is pointless? That would make sense.

hmmm.. how many millions of dollars do you think it will take to fix.

this isnt genetic engineering or rocket science...

I am sick of losing fights because of this!

I think it adds to the strategy that this game is so badly lacking. Don't burn your assist if you have a stunned character unless you're willing to gamble.

They do need to fix the stunned dodging though.
