Trillhouse posted:Guard breaks are probably the hardest thing to get a handle on when you're starting. You need to anticipate them anytime you're in range unless they're mid attack. "Guard break beats guard, guard beats attack, attack beats guard break" is a good maxim to remember. Thanks, aggression was definitely key and my gameplay has improved immeasurably now I've begun to rely more on light attacks. Before I was playing way too passively and only trying to land heavy attacks, but chipping away and interrupting using light attacks is definitely a very important skill to have under your belt. I've gotten a step up on other players in that even though I suck at using environmental hazards and throws to easily win encounters, I'm also a fair bit better at parrying than other people in my low skill bracket. People don't even seem to try doing it, which is great for me because it means I can just keep getting my free hits on them over and over.

Also is there some reason why I cant re-map my xbox controller like my key board? I hate how you run, its killing my left hand. You can remapp the keyboard in anyway you want, but the controller plays better in my experience even if you can barely change it. \/\/\/\/ Gaj fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Feb 11, 2017 |

I like this game but using the mouse to control attack/block direction is killing me. Do y'all use controllers? Or is there an alternate mouse and keyboard configuration?

You can increase the sensitivity for the guard, and also I believe you can bind manual keys for it too?

Gimbal lock posted:Expect the faction war to bloom into something that has more meaning eventually. It's a little spartan right now and is missing stuff that gives players more control over its results. It's like fish out of water right now. They really need a mode where you have to play with people on your faction and have to play classes of your faction. I can't believe it doesn't exist yet and I can only hope that its actually in the full game at release. If it isn't... I don't understand the devs. But I imagine regardless it'll get patched in someday. I mean that seems like the whole point of faction war to me. Sodomy Non Sapiens posted: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. Yeah its been suggested in thread like 10 times now. The devs need to get on it and create a lobby duel mode. Chomp8645 posted:There is simply too much activity to sort through. The internet tubes are clogged with activity. Its not a big truck!

I started on controller by recommendation of two of my friends, but wound up switching to mouse and keyboard when I was struggling and now I couldn't imagine going back. You'd think flicking the stick would feel much more natural with the combat system being the way it is, but I find mouse controls way faster to parse. Maybe it's having all the buttons right next to each other for your attacks and guard break rather than spread out across the controller. One thing I can definitely say is that aiming catapult shots is clunky as gently caress on a controller. Activating skills feels a lot less mushy when it's just the 1 - 4 keys.

Mash guard break when they go to do it, or pre-emptively swatting at them with light attacks is a good deterrent to prevent them trying. Enemies can't guard break you in the middle of attacks if that's what your friend is trying to say. Heavy attacks in the same direction of your enemy's attack when the maker flashes is a parry, which staggers your enemy and guarantees your next guard break will land.

It sounds like either you misunderstood your friend when he was talking about parries, which is where you actually use heavy attack, or he misunderstood you/the game.

I got a nobushi mad at me yesterday for playing a nobushi. "Bleed damage isn't honorable!!!" Then what the gently caress are you doing  Also I learned you can end her three light combo with the super long reaching bleeding poke move when you hold back on the right stick and tap light attack. Three bleed hits in a row ain't just for peacemakers

Zzulu posted:he is the only class i have issues with as a nobushi Yeah, the headbutt remains amazingly powerful even without the mixup. Very short windup, knocks back, can't be dodged backwards, window for sideways dodging is very narrow, and worst of all it's almost entirely safe. So even when you do manage to anticipate it (because good luck dodging it on reaction alone) and dodge it, chances are you you don't even get to punish it. Some characters have a decent chance at interrupting it with a light attack, but the slower ones are kind of boned.

Played a 1v1 against a Warden who must have been a big deal, because he had fancy engraved armor and a laurel next to his rank. Blocked enough of his attacks to trigger revenge, whereupon the warden sheathed his weapon and tried to cheese it. Cue about 8 seconds of me sprinting after him keystone cops style before I used the conqueror's running shield slam to sack him like a football player. It was completely absurd and a hilariously undignified way to end the match. I love this game.

How can people complain about honorabru combat when you're playing anything other than 1v1 duels? You literally win or lose based on how much teamwork you have in Dominion especially and part of teamwork is having sombody to jump in and start stabbing the dude that's beating you in the back.

I think they should spawn people closer together in 4v4 elimination. All the fast characters just immediately run off to gang up on someone and the heavies are left huffing and puffing just trying to catch up to fights. But eh gently caress 4v4 anyway, I'm really just doing this for the stupid contract. For the no-frills multi duels I think 2v2 is the best number.

The P2P was unstable in 50% of games last night, and my strategy of "forgetting the tutorial, mashing buttons, and flailing the sticks randomly" did not seem to work very well, but this game seems pretty cool. I found I can be useful just running side routes to C and A and capping them since any time I see another player they instantly annihilate me =(

I thought Kensei with double throw range was intense, but I just got a double throw range shield for the conqueror and can just chuck people into walls from like, 5 feet away.

Warden talk: Can you guard break smoothly out of a shoulder charge or do you HAVE to hard cancel out of the charge before hitting guard break again? Do you even have to hit it again? http://i.imgur.com/QGCgmCy.gifv (out of a guard break > side light light > shoulder charge > side light light > shoulder charge (cancel?) > guard break > top light) I can make it happen but not consistently so I'm pretty confused-- sometimes I'll just be holding down square the whole time after charging up the shoulder charge, and tapping circle at some point will get it to cancel and my guy automatically starts a guard break. But I don't really know how late you can hit circle or if you have to hit it at all.
