You can actually deploy wherever your faction has a "front". When you go to deploy just zoom out (B on my controller) and pick a different front. So if you're doing 1v1 you can still dump your war assets into the domination zone if you want.

I'm not sure why I typed all that because it truly doesn't matter.

You do get a 20% bonus for placing your stuff where the game mode is

I feel like Lawbringer is pretty good because he recovers so fast from parries that it's REALLY difficult to punish him. So do safe attacks from long range and then escape unharmed even if you gently caress up and then punish their attacks. This is mostly from my perspective of playing against a good LB as a Raider. He recovers fast enough that you can't get a guaranteed GB after parry if they're good, which is a big part of how Raiders get hits in.

First dominion game I joined one team was a premade of folks with prestige levels, mine random level 1 and 2 guys. I hope they look into some sort of matchmaking algorithm for this at some point.

Just playing the hero normally. Seems like he annoys people a lot because they don't realize how to play around his passive stance. Also his guardbreak+heavy combo sends people flying so I often get environmental kills with it without even trying. Gravity is the number 1 way to make people hate your guts in this game.

VVV It should take a page from Bomberman and just start flooding the map with explosions until someone dies.

This game should probably give the player with more health the win when there's a a time out. It's retarded that if I'm at full health and the other guy is near death he can just camp a ledge and force a draw.

Can confirm!


So here's the thing with that: There was a bug during an earlier version where people would join up in a degenerated lobby. The game would never start, so people would queue in, sit around for a while and jump back out since it wasn't doing anything. It was temporarily fixed by nuking the degenerated lobbies as they appear, but it takes a few before they're detected and killed. That error is the temporary workaround to keep people from getting in a degenerated lobby until the server kills it. a *real* fix should be coming much sooner than later, from what I understand. Yeah the error is dumb, it would have been nice if it was automatically hidden but it was a hasty fix until the real one makes the whole situation obsolete anyway.

Watching this video it shows that the lawbringer really doesn't get much of anything for free, but the shove seems to beat other shoves which is cool. On top of that it seems you can only get a side heavy off a guard break or flip

i like the nobushi but peacemakers gently caress me the hell up

too fast to block reliably so i gotta dodge them but the good ones stick on me like glue

hidden stance saves me a lot from other characters but fast attackers like assasins who can block or dodge my attempts to stab em at range give me a lot of trouble

Actually, they carried player stats over from the betas. If you played well in the betas your skill level is matching you with other good people.

I've been playing a bunch of Shugoki but I really wanna learn Valkyrie too. She seems a lot more complex though. I'm not used to having more than two potential combos! :qq:

EDIT: What exactly is the point of the Valk's legsweep? It doesn't seem to do any damage or drain stamina, and I don't think you're fast enough to capitalize on it.

Yeah Valkyrie is complicated but seems like she has a lot of potential, at least in certain gamemodes

Like just the fact that she has full guard during her charge is awesome and something players rarely use, or the fact that her full guard also works as an attack canceller or all her sweet trips and poo poo. But everything needs setup and it can be hard to pull off in the heat of the moment unless you've learned those moves by heart

Anyone else having FPS issues recently? I was playing fine this morning, before and after the new nvidia driver. Got home from work and my FPS halved. I can't maintain 60fps now, it dips down to 40. This should not be happening...(i7 6950x, 2x Titan XP, 64gb ram). I've reinstalled drivers and the game, no dice.

[edit]gently caress sake, game was on borderless windowed and I didn't realize. Fullscreen fixed it

it probably didn't help that i was playing realistic so i had no loving clue what way any attacks were coming non beta characters/orochis.

Good lord, Berserker is a lot of fun. If you stop blocking for any reason other than you're killing her, she will poo poo out a gently caress ton of damage all over your face

I was in the same boat you are in earlier today.

Just pick a hero you like and practice it apparently I'm really good at the beserker but it took a lot of losing over and over again.

This game is really fun when it "clicks" for you. I haven't run into any Heroes that I would consider broken but they're definitely are Heroes that are better than others right now but as long as they keep up with balance changes I don't see this being a problem for too much longer.

All in all I really love this game even when I'm having scrub moments and crying in the corner of my room.

On the flipside, you can't have a man as some of the other classes.
