/agree

I remember scoring a few kills because some awesome light made a hero tackle, come flying in out of no where slamming into the enemy light and letting my atlas pump everything into the downed enemy and stop its torture

[LordBraxton]

hell yes and lets keep this bumped to the top of the list till they add it back in

That would involve them actually listening to what their players thought, which PGI is loathe to do

They wont add it back in for a long while.

This question is irrelevant because knockdowns will be coming back.

[Obadiah333]

I can't wait!! I'll laugh maniacally when it returns. The forum QQ will be unprecedented. Expect a lot more LRM boats shortly after it's re-implemented.

Its not irrelevant, because having it back in its prior form would be far better right now than not having it at all.

The Centurion AH was supposedly coming back too...

I'd like to draw everyone's attention back to this poll I made, the discussion therein, and particularly the linked post in my opening post.

Could not agree more.
I almost cried a little when knockdowns were removed, and I say this as a light pilot.

[Carcass23]

This poll is irrelavant, knockdowns will come back and I have to wonder why anyone wouldn't want them back in and working correctly.

This.

Knockdowns were the balance to 150kph lights in traffic. Broken>None.

Yes but with proper damage and physics. There were too many bad players who'd intentionally tackle you in their trial Jenners instead of trying to use their weapons because they sucked too hard to learn the game. I mean, when I'd be piloting an Atlas and some guy in a light mech blatantly aims for me as I'm trying like hell to avoid getting knocked over and he gets up and keeps doing it again and again, and remaining stationary does nothing to help me stay on my feet? That sucked and was one of the only times I've gotten angry playing this game. If a 35 tonner slams into a 100 ton mech at 140kph, that thing should take some substantial damage. There should be a penalty to ramming and that penalty should be something that you might consider accepting if the occasion calls for it.
I'm still pissed at those ********.

S!

Bring it back and the reign of leg humping lights will be over and bowling them to oblivion can commence. And yes, flame on.

Your tears, they are so salty-sweet. Nevermind that players in trial Jenners doing that were as rare as hen's teeth, unless you're referring to the occasional trial mech pilot that lost all it's weapons and figured he may as well go out fighting.

And then you woke up and the bed was all wet? MAYBE if the Jenner jump jets while all the stars in the entire universe are aligned, it MIGHT achieve a mutual knockdown- I've heard of it happening on insanely rare bigfoot-riding-a-unicorn-out-of-a-ufo-that-has-landed-on-the-loch-ness-monster occasions, but in all of my ramming career (which is quite extensive, both in and out of MWO ) I have NEVER seen it happen. Not once. 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% of the time the Jenner gets knocked on it's *** and then gets alpha striked in a critical area. GG no RE.

Agreed.

Agreed, although the use of the word "penalty" betrays the flow of your salty-sweet tears.

Mmmm, delicious. Salty-sweet, laced with hallucinogens.

[Velba]

Ugh, Why do people even make silly polls like this? Whats the point of "Polling the player base" when the dev's are all ready doing what you want?

(For the record I really miss knockdowns, and have stopped playing lights because the game is to easy without the risk of getting knocked around like a baby in a break dancing circle)

Where's the dev post that said that?

I like to see the hero dragons do this to a commando : http://youtu.be/F5qO-U5LDT8

[Screech]

Will they bring back the old school Dragons then too. That would be a hoot. Stun-lock is a cool game-play mechanic.

[Monkeystador]

Not just stunlocking. Let me reverse with my Atlas over a fallen commando stomping it into the ground.
