You'll find this bit of news under the Abilities, Spells and Combat Arts section of the Test Update 41 patch notes:

Please don't make it so. Neither of those feign death spells are explicitly right-click cancelled - both FDs will cancel when the player presses "X" on their keyboard to stand up.

Feign Death is a skill that's likely to be used in a situation where you don't want to stand up again and lag will generate a need(or, more aptly, the illusion of a need) for FD to be clicked two, or more, times and subsequently immediately cancel itself.

i agree, what they should do is say somewhere that X is used to switch off FD, it took me until lvl 30 something to figure it out, and this was after asking in the channels if anyone knew how to make a macro to switch off FD

Normack

this would suck...

DON'T DO IT

This seriously would be a horrible change. As already stated, it's unnecessary since X will cancel it. The instant cast nature of the spell is what makes it especially prone to double click canceling. It is a bad change. UI's should be changed for the good, not the bad.

Make it a toggle, I have shit bound to X more important than stand the fuck up.

Sardonis

Sit/Stand by default is bound to 'X' as you can change this to whatever you want, such as I have it bound to a mouse key.

This would be quite the ineffectual change to FD. The only people who have problems canceling FD are the ones that dont have it, such as when a monk grp FD's other members and even from Altruism also even Tinkering items, which this wouldnt benefit them in anyway as they still have to stand or right click and cancel. The only reason I could see this change even being brought into effect is because people dont know their class well enough, its simple, if people cant read, mail those customers hooked on phonics 'This effect can be cancelled by standing.' I dont see any benefit of changing it to being toggled, just does more harm than good. No need to change something that has been perfectly fine since the start of the game.

Re: Dec 06 Test Notes - Leave Brawler FD Alone.

Started a thread. Not that they give a shit, but it can't hurt.

This change absolutely sucks balls. FD was not broken and now it is. Since it is obvious the devs don't play this class I have to spell it out for them. FD is a panic button that will indeed be pressed multiple times. This change now makes FD borderline useless now.

And here I thought the real problem with this is the fact that as a toggleable buff the recast wouldn't start until you stand up, but then again that's probably the real reason they are making the change.~

Faxon

thats the stupidest thing i have ever fucking seen. the whole POINT of the ability is a panic button in the first place, so now i have to make absolute sure i only hit it once or im fucked for 10 seconds? what happens if im in a high traffic zone and im getting 1-2 second spell lag? im gonna hit that thing till it goes off, and if i dont stay down till im ready to get up im going to be quite angry. the ability was never broken in the first place, if people cant figure out how to toggle FD off by standing thats their own problem, they either need to read the ability better or just right click cancle it anyway, since its safer then, as you will actually be expecting to hit cancle when you want to get up
