When is next patch? We need valor back

I think 50% damage from bump slashing is a little different than removing bumps/stunning the rider.

I think 50% damage from bump slashing is a little different than removing bumps/stunning the rider.

I didn't know what the bump slash nerf was, thanks for clarifying (was that already posted somewhere?  didn't see it in the patch notes).

A long time ago, we were told that bump slashing had its power reduced by half and accepted it even though we noticed no difference in-game. Tydeus and I found that the animation frames it included were only for the soft bump when your horse is moving slowly, so we tested to see which animation frames accounted for knockdown and added that in.

Essentially, what we have now is bump slashing's intended damage from way back when it was first introduced and did nothing.

In the patch notes: Tydeus: Pike & Throwing Lance bonus vs cav. Bump slash nerf now includes knockdowns, not just soft bumps.

So just wondering, if someone falls and takes damage or is hit by ranged (same animation as getting hit by a light horse bump, I think), then does this mean that any cav that hits them during the interval at which this animation plays will do half damage? Obviously the chance of this happening is slim to none, so it doesn't actually affect much of anything, but since you said that it was all based on the animation frames, I am just curious if getting hit while stunned or knocked down (from any number of reasons) will also make any cav damage that hits you during this time 50%. Or is there something in the code that essentially says "if hit by horse in past .3 seconds, any damage received by the cav rider during the duration of stun animations 1 and 2, is multiplied by .5?"

I'm not sure about getting hit by ranged, but I think so. A guy that gets slashed by a cav as he gets knocked down by someone else would be lucky to survive, though.

Even though they look the same, they're actually two completely different separate animations. If you aren't knocked down by a horse bump, you aren't eligible to receive less damage from any damage source.
