[CONFIRMED] Knocked down saber coming back

I've come across this alot while playing. I dunno if it's a bug or not so I felt it was wise to post in OOC if I was unsure.

When I was having Aeon train against the droids, I noticed that when the droid would disarm Aeon when I would go to grab and ignite the saber it makes a motion like he was knocked by a strong blow even when the attack was 5 seconds behind. I've even spaced out the time between the disarm and the ignition even further and the problem still persists. Its like..disarm...long pause...grab lightsaber...turn it on...WHOA I GOT HIT BY A BUS!! Is there a way to disable that so that if it's disarmed you do not look like you were hit by The Incredible Hulk when you grab and turn on your saber 30 seconds later?

-Thanks

Suggest move this to bug section of RP Mod.

I, however, like the feature.

I've had this happen to, I was in a Melee spar once, and I think it was Dermo, hit me with a grapple and I didn't fall until about 10 seconds AFTER the grapple was finished...

I like the feature, as I think knocking your opponent's saber out of their grip should be rewarded more.

So you like the fact that if your saber is knocked out of your hand..you stand there for 10 minutes. Pick it up. Stand there for another 10 minutes. Turn it on and THEN have a super delayed reaction like you got bitch slapped in the face? How is that realistic? I dunno about you but if I drop something I don't stand there, look at it, pick it up, stare at it some more and THEN go, "Oh, I dropped this."

To me, that just doesn't make sense. I don't think you guys understand what I meant.

I'd get the saber knocked out of my hand. I'll pick it up. I'll stand there without it being turned on. Then when I turn it on it's like I got slapped by the long arm of the force.

It's backwards..

Disarm, THEN FEEL LIKE YOU GOT SMACKED, pick up your lightsaber and ignite.

NOT

Disarm, pick it up, turn it on, SLAP!

That's so backwards..


There, I think I've made my point more clearly.

It would be much clearer if you weren't so upset over such a small matter.

Oh...hm. I guess that did come off as a little livid now that I look at it, lol. Sorry about that. Multi-tasking isn't one of my prime attributes. Apologies. But does anyone else have that problem and is there a way to fix it?

I have seen this problem before, not sure why it is happening. It's not a feature, so it's a bug. Or an "unexpected feature" if you like it :).

I'll try to find it and fix it.
