Knock Out?
Question about Knock Out, was it changed recently to not have the distorted sound effect anymore, or is it a bug? I did a Knight game just now and I noticed that it only changed the screen to be a bit darker on the edges, but with no change to the sound effects.
If this was intended, I'm very happy with this change. If this is a bug, please keep it this way because how it was before was very annoying, and for some players, disorienting to the point where motion sickness could occur, and I find that it's a lot better when there isn't the sound effect.

Tbh I miss the deafness effect, it added immersion and was actually different and somewhat better to see when you're hit with it
Mabye just add it but keep it an option only since it hardly does anything but purely an audiovisual effect

You can tell when you're hit with it with the indicator although I can see why it's nice to have so you know they have it. That said, I've heard of a number of people that get motion sickness from that perk. If it was something you could toggle that would be nice though.

It's not the fact abt showing that they have it, it also adds immersion too
And while it is understandable for people with motion sickness to not like it, they can have a setting that disables the deafness sound effect since it hardly provides any gameplay advantage/disadvantage

Immersion or not it felt horrible to be hit with it, useless against swf and is only good to slug solo teams, should be reworked

Yeah, I only really used it as a meme perk because of the audio change. Without that I won't use it again.

Can you, tho? Not so long ago I made a report about that because knock out's indicator (its icon near your perks) was not there. Without visual distortion and deaf effect I didn't even realise it was a knock out. And I just lied on the ground waiting for the help not knowing that others can't see my aura. I wonder if they fixed the icon.

To be fair you can still tell if its knock out though by the slow crawl and longer recovery time, as well as the temporary blindness effect

Not really tbh, and I don't know exactly how they can rework it while staying true to its name

Yeah, and you can tell that thanatophobia is here by your repairing bar being red when someone is injured. Still, this perk has proper indicator: red icon near other perks. So did Knock Out. And now it's gone.
My first thought about blindnes effects was some killer's addons I don't remember about and then I was too busy waiting this gone and discussing super unfair 10 meters hit with my friend to notice that my recovery bar is red. Couple seconds more and all effects had gone except super important and COMPLETELY invisible effect of my aura being hidden. Maybe they removed visual effects on purpose but the icon part is definitely unintended. Haven't seen knock out since then and don't know whether they fixed that or not.

I agree, without visual and audiovisual indicators if you aren't paying attention it can be hard to know if you're hit with it

True, true. Maybe I'll be able to check the perk in private game, this lack of icon bother me. Not too crazy but...
Funny enough I can't imagine how long has knock out been changed because I rarely see it. It was one month ago when I saw its new version for the first time, and it was after long long long time not seeing it at all.

I actually made a post abt it. I think it was changed back in 6.1.0

Oh, good to know. Nice they changed it, actually.

Im not sure if it was intentional tho, no word from the devs when i asked them and i did not see it in the patch notes
Imo i think it makes getting hit by knock out more boring than it can already be
