conqueror is ridiculous in dominion i spent an entire match doing nothing but the sprinting tackle + heavy followup on enemies and then my teammates just wail on them while they get up like an armor plated football player run and tackle run back and tackle again. Stunlock them while your bud chains heavy blows  TEAMWORK

been futzing around with the warlord. I get lots of blocks and even remember to do my shield block + guard break combo sometimes. I find parrying really hard for some reason, the timing is really tight and it's just usually easier to block. Also I went against a berserker who guard broke a lot. Also had quite a bit of trouble with that. Maybe I'm not using some of the moves effectively? I'm still learning the basics and not remembering some of the combo moves out of Full Guard Dreylad fucked around with this message at 07:16 on Feb 10, 2017 |

Trillhouse posted:Welp after a few matches I can safely say move over Warden because I'm a Warlord main now. Something about that class just clicks. It's supposed to be a defensive counter hitter but I've been having a lot of success with sheer aggression. The uninterruptible heavy attacks are great against assassin characters. I just get a few hits in and trade shot for shot until they're dead. Yeah as someone who only plays Warlord I was a bit worried with the supposed nerfs, but he's still great even now. I was never using the headbutt to close distance anyway, and it's easy to get guardbreaks even if you're not cancelling into them. He's seriously the king at tossing people off ledges, to the point where my technical learning is suffering because I'm winning so many matches just by careful positioning and environment kills. If they know how to counter guardbreak, then it's just time to parry and trade heavy blows until I win. Warden is still insane though. Based on being on the receiving end of a level 3 Warden bot, their chains can quickly overwhelm you. MikeC posted:Are there attacks that cannot be parried? Some guy armed with a spear kept doing a super quick attack on me that made him roll in behind me after a strike. and spammed that attack. I tried parrying it but failed everytime. I'm almost certain there are, but I'm not 100% sure. I know some quick combo attacks don't flash the red attack indicator, so they might not be parry-able. They're very rare if they do exist, all other attacks including unblockable ones can be parried. (Other than unblockable grabs and shoves of course.)

I just picked the game up with 5 friends, and holy balls it's GLORIOUS. With friends, this has got to be one of the most addicting games in recent memory. Between screams of "CHEEZY PIZZA", terrible puns, and chaotic brain melting combat- this is bloody awesome... only it doesn't have much blood. Private, friends only matches can have duels that smack of the sort of shenanigans you'd see in smash brothers, only with vikings. EVERYTHING is better with vikings. My only grievance is that half my matches have some stinking samurai playing Waldo in my viking horde.

This game is pretty fun but it seems like there's some weird poo poo going on in scrub-tier matchmaking. I'm getting bots populating my games every single game, and I just can't imagine there's not enough people playing this game right now to fill these slots. That being said, in-game I've never had lag or broken inputs or anything like that and literally every single death has me yelling "I hosed UP" and I really like that about the game Peacekeeper is great I love it

There's some weird game developer thing where they're always like, "leavers won't be a problem in my game because they don't get as many rewards!" But 100% of the time they end up changing it later because there's nothing people hate more than losing. breaks fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Feb 10, 2017 |

Feindfeuer posted:You can't block guard-breaks like the shield bash, that would make them pretty useless. Dodge the shield bash, or any other guard break, and than hit them in their stupid face... or the side/back of their head. Yeah I still can't quite get the hang of this sadly. The window of opportunity to dodge that poo poo is so small that truly good Conquerors just poo poo all over me and I rarely so much as graze them. Bonus points for if they literally infinite chain shield bash+heavy+shield bash+heavy you into a wall til you die or however that works. It's frustrating. They're the only matchup where my first inclination is "give up, let someone else handle it".

I got into a duel with an orochi as a conqueror. The guy asked me if I play Dark Souls because I was apparently r1 spamming a lot -- the conqueror has an light chain infinite which is trivial to break but he kept getting recked by it. I humored him and started using only heavies instead, to which he said that my style totally is Dark Souls because I'm turtling a lot. lol.

I haven't run into as many Orochi players in OBT compared to CBT. However, it feels like that there is a lot more Peacemakers out there now.

The fighting game guy in me really wishes I could record the dummy actions and just have it play against me. So many situations I keep wanting to test out but they are a bit hard to force in a normal match.

The window of opportunity to dodge that poo poo is so small that truly good Conquerors just poo poo all over me and I rarely so much as graze them. They're not very fast and don't have amazing mobility and if you bait them they can run out of stamina pretty quickly which makes them very vulnerable. Manage distance and dodging and you'll deal with them

Obstacle2 posted:It's also DoA because its extremely bad and designed to be played on a controller. I wish they spent less time on such an elaborate dress-up system and more on a tutorial that actually teaches you the mechanics of the game. Unless you watch the little videos for each character you will be totally oblivious to much of the game's depth. The revive mechanic is pretty obscene in 4v4 deathmatch. So uh, watch the videos? They're right there in the game You get practice bots, video tutorials, advanced video tutorials and move lists. If this is not sufficient then the issue is with you It's also easier to play with KB+mouse get gud

I really didn't like kb+mouse at first but I switched to it because of not being able to remap the game pad. It's better once you get used to it, at least for me with many more gaming hours on Pc than console, but it is weird at first.

I dl'ed the pc beta as well(normally on ps4) to try out the keyboard/mouse controls and I will say its not as bad as I feared. I still consider playing on a controller superior however kb+m is not bad at all.

Boy people sure do love the samurai classes huh I don't get parrying. I can parry the bots super easily at this point but against a human opponent it feels like I can never land them, even when its functionally the same thing. EDIT: Like I just fought a guy that did nothing but spam the warden up attack slam. I knew exactly what he was doing but I couldn't parry it at all and just got combod to death by it. I don't get it.

This game is much better than I expected it to be. I'm considering actually buying it but ima see how much playability is left over the weekend. It seems like most people are playing samurai with Vikings in close second. Of course I chose knights.

I sit in queue for 1v1 for 10 minutes and get nothing I get a 2v2 match in 10 seconds. On the first round, my partner accuses the team of having no honor and I get stuck with a bot after he leaves. If anything kills this game its gonna be this.

Kensei can dodge into you, grab you and then slam you into a wall and get off an unblockable that takes off half of your health. it feels very cool to do.

Buschmaki posted:Kensei can dodge into you, grab you and then slam you into a wall and get off an unblockable that takes off half of your health. it feels very cool to do. Dashing guardbreaks are super strong and only 2.5 characters have them*. Kensi can forward dash into break, raider can forward&side dash into breaks, and warden can ghetto do it by dash->shoulder->shoulder cancel into guardbreak(making it slower than kensei/raider). Also fun warden fact: Once you start mixing shoulder bash into your strings and people dodge to left/right as its somewhat obvious, do keep in mind one of the properties of a guardbreak is complete tracking. So if they dodge in any direction but immediately away from you, your shoulder canceled into guardbreak will catch. *Except for Shugoki/lawbringer/valkyrie, maybe? Have no idea on their moves.

Actual dumb poo poo about this game: Awful UI/UX in the menus where there are no less than three different ways of confirming something (tap, hold, confirmation window). It's seemingly random which one you need to do at any given point in the menus though I'm sure there's some insane logic to it.  I'M AN IDIOT If you're 1v1ing you spend like half your time in menus and watching the intro/outro poo poo for matches that nobody gives a gently caress about. Fun game overall though. breaks fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Feb 10, 2017 |

one of the 4v4 elimination spawns starts you off facing the wrong direction looking up at sky. it's very loving annoying.

My 1v1 queues are less than 15 sec. Wish I could donate to someone as I am really digging all 4v4 modes. I have terrible tastes. Edit: all my matchmaking had been flawless just for comparison.

breaks posted:Dumbass "playlist" poo poo that includes what are basically totally unrelated game modes (for example Dominion where you randomly get the moba-ish/ticket thing and one is elimination, which aren't really similar and BTW the former one sucks rear end).

Yeah you're right and I'm dumb because I clicked on the wrong thing, herp derp (But still I think it's bad to have elimination and a ticket mode in the deathmatch playlist, though I don't think the ticket mode is actually in yet because I've never gotten it).

so is there a consensus on if mouse and keyboard or controller is better for this game? I have a PS4 controller I'm more used to, but I also used to play a good bit of WoW, so I'm not completely unfamiliar with the keyboard. I just would like to pick one to stick with for a while before I start playing.

That's Dominion, or Domination or something like that. It's the only mode I ever end up in when I'm using quick play. I've never played anything else unless I've selected it directly on the map.

What I'm trying to get across is that the deathmatch mode says in the description that it will put you in one of two different modes, one of which is the elimination mode, and another of which is one where you respawn and fight up to 1000 points, which is presumably not exactly the same as the Dominion mode. But for the moment it only seems to put you in the elimination mode. Anyway as far as what started this up I was just being a dumbass and clicking on the wrong thing and so I already edited my earlier post in kind.
