the evade shild

hey how come when you attempt to break someones evade shild and fail you fall over and scratch your head....i mean is he confused or is it hurting his head because hes thinking about it too hard? i just dont see the point

**Kemy**

Attempting to get someone in interlock is an attack like everything else so it takes 1 round, which is why there's a nice animation for when you fail.
You can't use free fire twice in a row either (or more whatever), that's on a timer as well.

im taking about why do you scratch you head when you fail seems pointless they should have a better animation

yes alot of ppl don't like , I haven't seen that animation for a long time ... people just immediately jump backwards after they attempt to break shield so it stops the animation

would that not mean that there circumventing the attempt interlock reuse timer (by skipping the animation) which would be an exploit

My thoughts exactly ... but I'm not about to "cry" about it cause lets face it ...

*walks down to Mara C to watch some PvP*

EVERYONE and their mother does it ... and if someone doesn't know about it (usually new players that we don't have alot of) they will do it right after they see someone do it ...

You don't scratch your head, you rub it. You just bounced off what is basicly a wall, i'm sure it hurts.

which is why they have the timer also so that they can't press the button again once they land.

I agree that the animation is a little... cartoony for MxO. That said, I've always thought it was the person scratching their head in a "what the heck was that?" kind of moment. They see the person just standing there, they try to attack them but bounce off, so they end up scratching their head as they wonder what happened.

Yea, but this is the Matrix, after you encounter this at least once, you figured out what's happening and stop being confused about it.

So what your saying is that this animation should be only seen once then you dont see it again right....

I like it think if i tried to nail someone and i just bounced of them id be confused to

witch ever you do im pretty sure that if it was me i wouldnt rub my head and what would give you the idea to attack someone like that i could understand if you punched and hurt your fist without falling over but it seems you punch straight to the floor and not as a cause of the deflection

Well once or twice, but comon, if this was real life, would you actually be confused about it all the time? "Oh I'm bouncing off of him, he must have his shields up."

Well in real life we dont have evade so I wouldnt know how I would react
