Twitch was not fixed by removing glancing blows.

Which rule would prevent all true and relevant responses to this question, regardless of OP's sources or lack thereof?

I'm afraid that answering that question would also be in violation, as would any followups. There are some true facts that you're not allowed to put on this forum.

People are talking about slowing down attack animations, you really feel you want ALL animations slowed down for the intial attack of ALL weapons? I would get ready to dodge the tomatoes if I were you.

I used to believe that twitch play would be wrong since it was controlled outside of the server (no dice rolls, skill checks). To me that felt like it wasn't how the game would be intended to be played. Then I read tool tip #180 and my opinion has changed. That tip completely undermines any argument that twitch is wrong. Twitch is fine.

Removing glancing blows while moving was a bad idea. Active combat should be supported wherever possible, not torn down.

I don't like twitch because the mechanic and the math behind it is counter-intuitive and to me a bit stupid, but whatever gave THF some sort of parity with TWF is a good thing. I'd much rather they made the twitch style useless by fixing the attack chain than try to offset by nerfing strong features of the fighting sty;e.

Not to mention that it was already done at one point, didn't fix the problem, and the player hate was amazing, people were signing up for the game to complain about it.

I see nothing wrong with a real tactic that increases damage output with the more skilled the player is (and skill is the basis of gameplay on an action adventure title). But twiching isn't fair to classes that do more stuff than just attack. I tried mastering twiching, its not that hard mostly, but its impossible to do it while clicking all the stuff a Pally must click to be as effective as other melees.

Twiching should be fixed because some classes work differently than others and its not fair to the player of those classes. Not to mention to all players who don't know about it.

The devs should either acknowledge Twitch as valid, or come out of the fence and say its a "know issue" even if they are too scared to admit they can't fix it.

I'm not sure why you limited your explanation of why you can't answer the question to citing rules governing this forum. Separate rules apply in other circumstances, such as private messaging within this Turbine community network, for example.

Also, my original question was how the OP could claim to know what he claimed to know. I phrased it this way because his argument depends on the truth of statements he didn't provide evidence for. It's strange that you have interjected saying that he can't explain himself. Even if you believe the same thing to be true that he does, and for you it is knowledge the source of which you can't reveal, he may have more innocent sources, such as a guess.

My guess? Non-disclosure agreement.
First rule about ... is you don't talk about ...

I'm using the same source, and am prevented by the same rules.

Yes, it is strange, and those rules reduce this forum's usefulness for the purpose of discussing game mechanics. I have suggested that the mods adjust the rules, but doubt they will.
