Hypha posted:So, like new Lawbringer looks sweet. I am now hype. Oh hey, I think that unblockable swing is new. But really, the main issue with Lawbringer was that a great many of his moves required a significant setup but didn't lead into anything. For example, that one slow and obvious unblockable where he picks up the opponent and throws them over his back didn't actually guarantee to land any followup attack that couldn't just be blocked. Similarly, he had three moves that required a successful parry to pull off, but two of them were slow as hell and could be blocked. And the one that was guaranteed to hit was a regular old light attack that didn't even chain into anything. So here's hoping they did something about that.

Ya, he doesn't really showcase the full range of tools. Considering that the Raider has the stun tap to help with his set-ups, I expect that the Lawbringer will "probably" have something to help him. The side light attack for him looks "ok", about as fast as a Wardens and the top jab looks useful. What you are actually able to do to get in that decent damage wasn't shown in the video. Still, looking at the unblockable throw, it looks like you would have just enough time to get an attack off. He was slow in getting that heavy attack in after the toss. The throw itself though is still really slow though.

Has anyone on PS4 been able to pre-load the retail version yet? I got an email from Amazon with my download code and a note saying it would be available for pre-load 2/11/17 after 9pm PST. But, when I put my code in, both on the PSN website and on my PS4, it tells me the code is not valid or has expired.

After playing the beta for a few hours i'm still not sure if i'll get this game, had a few connection drop outs while playing. I'm enjoying duel and elimination a lot more then domination probably because i don't have to worry about retaking the points when my other team mates ignore them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=181plYH0DsM That and the spawn points have made for some interesting fights

Alan Smithee posted:Any advice for taking on a well trained spear woman? Get in close, us nobushis rely on distance. If you are a fast attacker you can overwhelm their blocking as well because there's a very slight delay in guard stance changing for Nobushis. If the nobushi is backing off and dodging a lot, always try to direct them towards a wall or obstacle as their weapon easily gets stuck on walls and their dodging and backtracking way less effective if the area around them is cramped A lot of their signature attacks also come from specific guard directions so if you know them you can anticipate them and block them. Like their charging poison attack for example But yeah, primarily, get in close and put pressure on, block a few attacks and sneak some of your own in. Alternatively if you're not a pressure kind-of-guy, then you can counterattack Nobushis fairly well if you have a gap closer. Wait for them to overextend and then get in and land a few hits. A lot of Nobushins still cant use hidden stance so this is a viable tactic Zzulu fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Feb 12, 2017 |

Nobushis biggest weakness is Peacekeeper and Orochi. They can light attack you faster than your can change your guard and if they're also good at parrying or guard break counters there's pretty much nothing you can do. Orochis zone attack is also an absolute fucker because it looks like its coming from the top but it comes from the right faster than a light attack and does half a bar of damage.

Yeah I've been picking orochi for my new movement and attack combo as well as getting from point to point I'll engage if it's a one on one but mostly I've been resorting to running around like a headless chicken and hitting people like a bitch. Works though.

If ubisoft support this and listens to the community as much as they do for the division then I'm not too worried about the longevity of this game. I love the core game play and esthetic, I'm having a lot of fun and I'm hopeful for the future of this game.

The menu, matchmaking and loading between matches and rounds is a bit frustrating to me. Why do they hide the chat while in that black screen between rounds? you can still type to eachother, it's just hidden and it's pretty much the only time you have time to type.

Yeah the UI is weak as gently caress and there needs to be a lot of quality of life improvements to it imo. The game also needs more maps and content soon, which is coming apparently in 3 months...which is good Also needs a lot of bugfixes if this open beta is an indication of what launch will be But the gameplay is so drat solid and the game looks so good. Best animations I've seen in an MP game for ages and when this game clicks it CLICKS

Are there more than 3 different looking items per armour slot? Weapons seem to get 5 or 6. I want a chestpiece for my conq that doesn't block the emblem, but all three I've found so far have chest straps.

It seems like a good portion of the time blocking an attack from orochi or berserker doesn't do much if they have just dodged. Can they jump around blocks?

Does anyone have any tricks for the NAT issues some people have? I've tried everything on the forums and nothing seems to work. Basically when I first go in to matchmaking my NAT is red. It spins on matchmaking for 20-40 minutes then I get a match. After that it's yellow and I get matches immediately. If I close out and restart it's back to red. The game's a blast but I'm not sitting around for a half hour before I can play. I really, really hope this gets sorted for the release because I would definitely buy the game.

Gold requires you to be absurdly high level, but you unlock Bronze at level 20 which looks extremely similar to Gold. I'm gonna be rocking the Bronze most of the game. (There's also Silver and Black!)
