Shielded Clanrat/Bulwark/Shielded SV are ignoring stagger still

[hollerbach]

Isn’t that the bug that was supposedly fixed by this Patch 4.6.4 change?

@Fatshark_Hedge

• Fixed shielded enemies keeping their guard up when knocked into the ground.
• Players should now be able to stagger enemies as expected.
  • Explosion stagger now overrides all staggers.
  • Pushes can override explosion staggers.
  • All other staggers override each other.
  • Enemies are no longer unstaggerable when staggered during climb animation.

The above change caused this prior Patch 4.6 change to be reverted:

@Fatshark_Hedge

Stagger fix: Weak staggers no longer override strong staggers, which originially caused enemies to very suddenly stand up when knocked down

A user here comments on why it was reverted:

@CataTwitchOnly

The reason this was reverted was this pretty obvious issue:

If you were fighting a dense mixed horde in melee and you were using a weapon/tool to set up “light” stagger before your attack so you dont get hit back - but at some earlier point one of your teammates applied a stronger stagger to one of the enemies in the horde - that enemy would not stagger from your “light” weaker stagger even if he was right about to finish his stagger animation.

Which means that it was common to push a horde and then attack but because one or more enemies in the horde were coming out of a stronger stagger they would immediately attack and hit you despite the fact that you just pushed the horde.

It was a pain to play quite frankly. If you played during that time and you saw an enemy where you said “i swear i should have staggered him and nothing happened” ^that was the reason why.

…leading to the current situation where pushing enemies knocked to the ground will make them immediately stand up.
