I decided to take the messer out for a spin. (I am the S†wrd guy on Mason) No wonder this weapon is so popular, all you really need to do is mash LMB and watch heads roll.

Anyone like using the flanged mace on the knight? I'm really intrigued by a broadsword-speed weapon that can twoshot any class without head hits, but the short reach is a bitch paired with the knight's slow movement.

How do you beat competent men at arms as a knight? It seems that once MAA's hit lvl35 or so they're functionally invincible thanks to the fact they have 100% control of the fight 100% of the time, and even if they do slip up they have a literal panic button to fall back on five times in a row before tiring out.

You hit trade them. No matter what weapon you use, you can kill them in 3 or fewer hits, and no matter what weapon he uses, he can't kill you.

So if you're melee archer a good MAA is your worst enemy, since you can't trade hits.

Kreittis posted:I think I'm decent enough to give advice. Make sure not to crutch the ripostes too, and find other ways to approach your opponent. You need to look at your opponent's footwork to realise his next move before he does it, and try to punish him for it. And sometimes just take the offensive yourself and work on pressuring him. The main reason you shouldn't crutch ripostes is feints. Well placed feints can destroy defensive playstyles 100% of the time. For the record I'm rank 52 with 1261 hours. Also hi kreittis I just remembered I'm an SA member ;v

I find defensive pubbers way harder to deal with than someone who just spams messer LMB and hopes that you miss. No need to get onto more complex mindgames. Besides, seeing a feint in official TO server is like finding Tsuchinoko. Very unlikely. I don't think I have seen you ingame? Unless you are one of those who change name daily.

What is up with players hating feinting? Every so often in chat I see "FCUK YOU _______ YOU FEINTING PUSSY" I've been playing this game for an hour or so each day since I installed it and it didn't take me long to realize that the players are the worst part of the game. It seems that a solid chunk of time is spent kicking out your own team mates.

It's not players that hate feinting, it's bad players that think they are good. Feinting is powerful as hell, as was said, it destroys defensive players that can't read a feint. So, when you see a guy bitching about someone feinting and he's on the other team, feint his rear end all day long because he'll fall for every single one of them.

Things can get hectic and this is trick isn't as great with very fast weapons but - Enemies grunt before and only before a real swing. So don't block until they grunt. For anyone looking to up their own feint game - it's about rhythm. You swing - they parry. They swing you parry. Now you have options. The pattern has been established - both parties are probably too calm to fall for a feint at this point, but it's a better bet than opening with one. What you're looking for is a chance to do something unexpected. Say after the above scenario you swing a second time and score a hit somehow. DONT COMBO. That guy is waiting for the combo, just itching to block the second you wind up. This is when you feint. Again going back to first scenario. Say after you parry their attack you wait too long weighing your odds and they swing. You parry. The opponent is expecting your riposte, go ahead riposte. But make it a feint. Then when he falls for it throw a combo. Okay, so say this guy Isn't dead yet. He wont just keep eating feints, probably. If you pull one off great, dont push your luck. Some other tips. Feints get weaker and weaker the more people involved in the fight, you dont want to have a long tied up fight in a big melee cause someone is gonna blindside you or make you block, leaving you open. Don't feint shield users, usually. Also just be mindful of your patterns. If you're on a duel server or something, fighting the same few guys over and over you need to have mixup or no one wil lfall for your poo poo no matter how clever it was the first time.

I am super mediocre at best at this game and I have no issues with people using the feint button. It's more interesting to die and go "hah I'm a dumbass for falling for that feint" than worrying about people contorting themselves and helicoptering around like I'm fighting that goldeneye 64 glitch music video. "Oh he's got a big ol hammer. well at least I'm vaugely decent enough to handle tha-*desperately parries against crouching triple rotation attacks*" what the fuuuuuuck" Section Z fucked around with this message at 22:30 on May 17, 2015 |

So has anyone had an issue where the game (sound, animations, everything) freezes for like 1-2 seconds, then catches up. It's not lag and I've scaled back the graphic settings so I'm at a near consistent 60fps. It happens randomly and there doesn't seem to be any sort of particular trigger.

I parried 3 separate attacks and beheaded one with my counter, then turned around and blocked another strike responding with an overhead that took out the vanguard. I then was facing the last knight alone and he panic blocked. I saw my opening and came in with an alt overhead that beheaded him. Really does make you feel like a god of war.

The funny part is the free weekenders were occasionally more competent at attacking/defending than the regulars since they actually cared about the objective rather than running around like a spaz trying to score 420 helicopter kills. That is, if they knew what the objective was, which wasn't a given.

When I first started playing I went for points instead of kills, now I ignore objectives unless they're the "fun" ones and just try to pick off lone enemies.

On some maps people are so wrapped up in helicoptering at each other that I'll end up mostly or entirely completing an objective by myself. I usually play Knight and am not even particularly good at the game, which makes it even more baffling. People just let this huge armoured yelling man trundle past everyone and clumsily swing a battering ram at a gate for like 30 seconds before anyone thinks to do anything about it  The best is when somebody whacks me, and due to Knight toughness I'm able to stop doing the objective thing, turn around, parry their next hit, smack their head off, and go back to the objective thing.

I wouldn't spend money on it myself, but it's far from "terrible."

My kicks always seem to take a weirdly long time to come out, even the "quick" ones, and barely stagger enemies at all unless they're fully charged mega power kicks.
