Hope this helps

godamn you're bad at this game

Factually false, and you can test it yourself. If your FD fails due to autoattack being on or you get hit by a spell, the message does not appear. There may be other scenarios too. Please stop providing misinformation simply because you want to attack other people.

bro i'm sorry but if your FD "fails" because you forgot to turn off auto or get hit by a spell, it's simply not "FD failing"; it's user error and game mechanics, in that order.

FD, as a skill in a vacuum, will always display a message on failure.

there is literally never a circumstance where you should need to con enemies while flopped to know you're flopped. you know you failed if you see the message, and you know you beefed it w/ auto or a spell landing if they're still stomping on you.

Thank you for supporting my point that the "fallen to the ground" message is not the only method for checking if FD has failed. Claiming other people are "bad" because they don't look down to see that message is clearly nonsense using your own example.

However, you are incorrect about /conning a mob. You can /con the mob to see if they are still after you by checking if they are still scowling/threatening. This is great when you cannot see the mobs. Also, some people turn off their spell particles and/or sound completely, so you may not always notice getting hit by a spell in those cases.

Oh I do apologize for that, I didn't intend to call you out specifically. It was a general statement, as other people are claiming players are bad if they don't look for the "fallen to the ground" message. I agree the wording was poor on my part.

DSM, this topic makes you look bad.

How you go from not knowing there’s a FD-message to arguing that you did it correctly anyway because according to you (and literally no one else) FD message doesn’t always appear and then proceed to damage control by thanking people for ”admitting” there’s another way to hit (referring to your /con method)?

That’s just sad.

I am not sure why you think I am doing damage control when I never denied not knowing about the message.

I simply do not want false information out there. The fallen to the ground message is factually unreliable. You can test this yourself in game. There are other ways to check if FD failed that are reliable, like /con, watching what the mob is doing, etc.

I am not sure why you think the fallen to the ground message is the best way to check if FD failed when I have been able to check if FD failed perfectly fine without it.

FD Fail and FDing when you're being casted on are not the same thing.

Kittens is a great home for you.

Again, you are missing the point.

Take a look at these two scenarios:

1. FD fails, mob attacks you.

2. Mob lands a spell on you, mob attacks you.

The end result of both scenarios is FD doesn't work, and you need to recast FD. The difference between the two is scenario 1 provides a message, and scenario 2 does not.

Knowing how to look for FD failures without the message is the more reliable route, as there are FD failure scenarios that do not generate a message.
