Bug: Mounts in Frontlines being resist to bind/heavy/pushback

It's probably unintentional. I can't think of a single instance where an intentional change like this was made without mention in the patch notes.

Has anyone posted about it in the bug report section?

Yeah, keep getting "Heavy Resistance". And no effect when binding -> knockback (when I've used glory slash, blank and blast shot). Seems intentional.
Mounting in frontlines should be punished, not encouraged. I honestly thought people were cheating smh when they just rode off.

Seriously, can someone explain the issue to me like I am five? I'm not saying anyone is wrong or making it up but I've not experienced it so would like more information.

I got almost endlessly heavied/stunned last night by a coordinated group of (I think several dragoons - I saw Spine Shatter) & didn't develop resistance. Okay, it was about 5 times but it felt endless in a fight! When I got on my mount I didn't have slow/heavy disappear as others have stated, it was still there. The same applies when getting off a mount, the status remains.

I wonder if part of the change is that pets used to remain with you when mounted so could affect any statuses if they had the ability (eg Selene). Maybe the change to pets & mounts had an unexpected effect resulting in what others are seeing.

The game would be unplayable if mounting was banned. If you have only played Shatter you may not understand how vital they are in other modes but if I had to walk all the way between nodes at Cartenau I'd not play.

I never said anything about banning mounts. I don't think anyone would enjoy frontlines if mounts were banned.
I'm talking about using mounts to escape from a battle/fight. It's supposed to be a gamble. It can result in your survival and not feed X amount of points.

I've had several times the last couple of days someone mount up and just run away on lowish health, kinda kills the fun of PVP when you can't actually fight

I think this also sometimes works with slow. I noticed sometimes I feint someone on mch and they don't get slowed.

Noticed it with bind for sure

Did mounting remove HG etc before? o.O Kind of blows my mind that I never really thought about it

I did make a bug report, but only pertaining to heavy. Feel free to add on or make a new one

This problem is really annoying since it rewards people for chickening out of a fight. Also pushbacks not working is also really annoying.
