By the time I died I came to a complete crawl/standstill with 2/3 of my stam left. I have no words to describe this mechanic, it's just complete ****. Slowed down because of a ******* laser.
I've got one better for you. I guess you could say that I got into a dual with one of the Nyan San members during a Pub Dom match. They had put uplinks above where only a dropship can get at, but I had gone away from the point on the 2nd floor of a building. Looked straight at where the uplinks were and started taking guys out. At some point the Nyan San guy seemed intent on killing me and repeatedly spawned in the same spot with a viziam scrambler rifle.
Well, my Allotek nanohives were done for and I had to bug out. The fastest and safest way to get out of sight of him was to drop down and run 10 meters to cover, BUT, as I dropped down I got hit by his Viziam and F***ING FROZE mid-air. I didn't fall I didn't rubber band glitch I just froze in mid air while his shots took out my shields and my armor. When I respawned for some revenge I saw my body twitch-flying at the spot that I had died.
I know, normally the body disintegrates, but this time it didn't. Eventually I guess the game decided that it had had enough of it and it just blinked out of existence. I was so mad with that BS. Unfortunately, it has happened 3 more times in the last month and while that statistic is relatively small, the "quick-sand" has been a regular occurrence at EVERY battle. The lag generated by some players and the lag-bombing (2 different things here by the way) make these problems happen more often, but the "Air-freeze" created when shot has so far never happened on anything but matches with smallest of lag. |

I however cannot support this mechanic! I could understand a mechanic to make you become stunned/stumble/be pushed around, but the slow down mechanic is completely broken and stupid. If I'm shot in the backside, I mean *cough* A** *cough* then I shouldn't be frozen in place running on a treadmill but rather pushed forward or some other such idea. If I'm falling through empty air and FREEZE when shot, then it's complete BS.
I agree with many arguments within this topic that it is understandable that such a mechanic can seem like a more "realistic" idea, but where I agree with others who have suffered through it is that it is implemented in all the wrong ways and as such is currently BROKEN. Never mind realism with shields and armor, never mind realism with being hit by a high speed bullet, it just doesn't work well with the game.
Maybe some people have yet to suffer through this mechanic. Okay, I'm willing to believe that, just as the aim assist only works with certain clients! There are aspects of Dust 514 that just seem to pick and choose who gets affected by specific mechanics and we the players/consumers cannot tell who becomes affected by which aspects. To those of you saying HTFU, I just want to ask you politely to please STFU and realize that if it doesn't happen to you, or at the least doesn't happen nearly as much as others are complaining, then don't start getting annoyed and pissed off when others get so frustrated with it that they complain to CCP here on the forums.
Your friendly EVERYTHING,
