So I just figured out that you can roll backwards while locked on. You just have to double tap the spacebar while holding back.

What am I doing wrong with the peacekeeper? I'll guardbreak someone, stab them ONCE and then that's it

How do I get my full 3 stabs in?

The tutorial says I have to "time the stabs right" but I don't know what that means. Time it to what

I recommend going into a custom game against a level 0 AI and just try it until you get it working

I knew the timing by heart because I had had it done to me so many times.

I don't think there is any indicator for it.

You need to press the button to stab again after the first stab completes in full(then once again for the second stab). It's one of those things where once you get the timing you basically won't botch it ever again.


As an aside I also did up a little walkthrough guide for the Kensei:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJqT9JEvQvU

If you've already been playing the class for a bit probably not going to teach you anything you don't already know but for people who haven't played him yet maybe it will help you out.

Quoting myself from earlier:

panda clue posted:

You need to go into practice mode with a dummy bot that will just stand there for a short bit to figure out the timing. If you just spam stab after you grab someone, you will break off after the first stab. If you time the button 3 times in a row just right (in cadence with the actual stabbing animation), you'll get them. After a little practice you'll start to rarely miss all three.

Little detail I just realized: the location on the faction map of the battle affects the map during the game, e.g. if it is up in the mountains it will be snowy etc.

I'm having the hardest time getting the Warden's shoulder bash mixup off.

I practice the timing on level 0 and 1 bots, but I can't seem to get it off against people that fight backbone.

Is there some trick I'm missing?

EDIT: what the gently caress are you supposed to do against headbutts and shieldbashes? As far as I can tell they can't be parried.

I think your two options are dodge or roll away.

I quite like this game, it's more interesting than the millionth point control fps my friends want to play and I can play on controller so I'm not garbage terrible.

However literally every time so far we've all tried to play together one or more of us has been repeatedly kicked from games and we haven't been able to play more than 2 minutes as a whole group.

Also there are like 6 maps and 3 game modes and no servers? For £40.

Cool game but gonna wait for the sequel.

nobody loves me
I'm having a lot of fun with this game.
The controls feel fine to me.
P2P seems fine to me and I haven't had any issues with it. (yet)
1v1 is fun, 2v2 is fun, dominion is fun, 4v4 is a little too much for my taste due to having to wait until the match is done when you die and how long the match can go with rezing but whatever.
The 60$ price tag isn't unreasonable to me because you get a campaign, a decent number of multiplayer modes and a year's worth of free content support.
I mostly play nobushi, conquerer and berzerker


And I spent a lot of time making an emblem.

You gotta love it when people run and very conspicuously stand next to a cliff, because they can't hack it in a regular fight. Just makes it even more satisfying when they get their comeuppance:

Why is every game i play unbalanced in the other guys favour?
Really enjoying the 1v1 component of the game, and to a lesser extent the 2v2 'honor' battles that occur but i've started to hit the games skill ceiling with the feint-guardblock-light attack stun lock combo destroying me.

So if anybody in Australia is interested in 1v1 battles add "ohsosad" and i'll do my best to help you out or failing that ( you destroying me) you can help me out!

This game really doesn't do a great job in compensating for my not so great internet connection, which is sad because I am probably not going to spend 60 bucks only to fight bots, as fun as that is.

Also I think all internet/forums disputes should from now on be settled by 1v1 For Honor duels.

Some thoughts:

All three Knight classes are great, Conquerors are ridiculous fun when you get a rhythm against someone and demolish them.
The Peacekeeper guardbreak-stab-stab-stab combo does way too much loving damage.

I really wish they'd put the missing classes in. I want to play the Lawbringer.

Pubbies getting weepy over ~b-b-but honor~ in 2v2 or, even loving worse, 4v4, is dumb as gently caress and I will endeavor to be as much of a backstabbing gently caress as possible to harvest their salty, salty tears.

It seems like such a simple fix to give these people what they actually want though and hell, I'd like it to - 1v1 lobbies. Join a 1 v 1 Duel alone or in a group, go into a lobby, rotate through. Winner stays in, loser goes back to spectating.

I think the 2v2s are good how they are. If you want to treat a team mate winning as having an extra life if you lose, go for it, if you want to turn the matches into a greaser knife fight your opponents will for sure do the same next round anyway.

This would be a nice feature. A King of the Hill mode where everyone can just sit in the lobby and spectate the fighters would do well, it worked for DOA4 at least.

Locking on / blocking just seems detrimental. Ive had better luck sprinting and rolling and occasionally spamming left click on people. Also the animations for killing the npc grunts own, I wish there was a dynasty warriors style mode just against them

It's actually really important, especially for the Heavy class characters.

Your team starts gaining 2 points per second instead of 1 for that zone. They start adding up fast.

1) Having any team member stand at A or C increases the point gain per tick from +1 to +2 on your team score. This is a binary modifier, no stacking.

2) Anyone who is boosting a point gets a gradual renown gain while doing so (this gives you in-game "exp" towards unlocking feats).

3) "Heavy" class characters get significantly more renown from part 2 (but are the same as anyone else for part 1) and can unlock feats quite quickly by doing so.

Yeah I got that, did that as one of the big guys, I just felt bad defending the point whilst my team was 3v4 but maybe I was also dumb for not going back and forth between clearing B and defending C

Well if you mean strategically then yes I think it's a sound strategy for a team to have a Heavy who is dedicated to guarding their home point, at least until they level a bit.
