Concerning this, it might be a good idea to add a transwarp to Drozana for convenience purposes, now that all testing gear comes from there now. :P
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
It does say exploit capable melee attacks. I'll be able to hop on Tribble and check it out a little later when the server is back.

Lunge is affected, but Lunge also has its own Knockback in addition to the knockback it was gaining from the enhancement I fixed. Pulsewaves are not affected by the change to the enhancement, but we'll be adding KB resistance to any KB power that doesn't grant KB resistance.
Incidentally, Knockback resistance works differently than all other CC resistance. While resisting a Disable or a Root causes your CC duration to be lower, resistance to Knock effects is supposed to reduce the *chance* of the knock occurring. Now that the unresistable knockback on melee attacks is gone, knockback resist should be able to come into play as a useful mechanic. Please feel free to test and provide feedback on how it works and on what doesn't work well enough.

If you see something called out as a Known Issue in the patch notes, it's because a resolution is in progress but hasn't been completed yet.

While i assume the devs read alot of feedback, wheter they can fix it or not ...
That aside .... as a normal guy, just like u .... did u try making another toon ???
Does it happen to that toon as well ???
Coz .. ya know .... maybee they HAVE fixxed it in the tutorial, and its just that particular character that ended up in a loop they closed off, and needs no more fixing ....
Just sayin .......
And what about things that you've yet to acknowledge as being an issue? Such as the experimental proton weapon being completely and utterly borked?
Still, glad to hear its being worked on.
Saddened*
The event that controls the availability of these items should become active soon. Check back in a bit, and let us know!

OMG THANK YOU! That was one of my major complaints about carrier pets. I'm glad to see you are listening after all and I've been patient because I know you guys have lots of stuff to work on.
I tend to agree, the first knockback from a lunge needs to work every time (or at least 75% of the time), it's an integral part of the ability. Further lunges within the next 15-30 seconds need a large knockback resistance added, simply to prevent players from chaining knockback on a player to keep them in a disabled state.

Since you are working on resolving costume bugs, is there any chance we will see the missing Bortasqu uniform parts (Shoulderpads, possibly non spiky boots) with season 8?
