For the record, I've started playing the Orochi and I am enjoying being the guy everyone calls "cancer" constantly

I bought the execution where she slowly stabs the guy in the throat and lingers a bit and it brings so much salt

I stopped playing peacekeeper cause I was new and didn't know how OP and common she was

I didn't know Conquerer was "bad," he's fun but I guess I don't do exceptionally well with him or anything

Anyone else that's like Valk? Nimble and mobile

Nobushi is a hoot, she's not as defensively-oriented though.

Pretty sure 50% of my chapter 3 playthrough was spent waiting for the origami slow stab to finish.

Btw, you can skip all encounters in the campaign except bosses, kill missions and escorts. I found it extremely useful on realistic when the Lawbringer had to kill catapult guys, and the final guy kept killing me.

we fuck each other very well and we have a lot of energy from eating plantfoods
So, in 2 hours, these are the errors I have recieved:

-In a 2v2, the game state was "recovering" and then everybody became bots. My friend was in my game, and he was put in a separate game that was entirely made up of bots. I'm assuming the 2 people we were fighting also had that fate.

-Partied up with another, looking for a 2v2, he got into a game that I wasn't allowed into because it was full.

-Had to restart our games to be able to join parties together.

-Upon restart, the game decided I was going to go into the multiplayer screen, so when I accepted an invite, I was stuck on a blurry, zoomed in version of the faction war map, and I couldn't do anything at all until we joined a game.

-We joined a Dominion match, and I got booted out with a 060000018 error right before the end... so yay, no exp!

-Tried to join another, but the game kept giving us errors and booting us out to main menu, not in a party together anymore. That happened about 4 times before we were able to join another game.

:bravo:

This game is a broken piece of poo poo. If I worked on this game's UI/UX, I would be loving ashamed. This is inexcusable, and if this doesn't get patched in the next ~72 hours, I'm not sure I'll be coming back. Absolutely infuriating.

Edit: Important to note that I can play this game alone with basically no issues at all.

Got a 90% W/R with the Lawbringer in Duels but can't wait for his buff.

If I go against enemies who can actually parry/gb counter properly, the only way I can win is to parry and guard break them for the free hit.

Literally the only thing possible to do.

Magically having a fatal bleed applied to you after a bot replaces the player is new. He'd be dead even with the supposed post-patch thing where the bot is just dead when that happens.

I like being down 2-0 in a fight and then just blocking the initial attack before guard breaking them off a bridge/ledge three times.

When you're a berserker that's just clanging their bullshit out the way and clocking them in the face. And then whoopsie off the edge they go.

If I was going to wish list stuff, I would give him something more interesting when the opponent is exhausted, like a damage buff when they are exhausted similar to what the Nobushi has for bleed.

I wouldn't mind that exhaust was made a bit more scary in general, cause it is pretty safe for people to not watch their stamina. I thought that you couldn't parry when exhausted, rather than not feint. Learnt that one the hard way. Than again, maybe I should be feinting more but the exhaust timer seems so short....

Make blocking/dodging take a fraction of a second longer when exhausted, like the Nobushi block. Would allow you to still avoid some stuff but be knee deep in the dangerzone against good players

Right now you are as exposed after your light attack is blocked as being parried as zerk. That will be brought in line with other classes. Which means you can use your infinite to punish dumb warden vortexes.

For me what he needs is

His sprint and right click to be unblockable. If you compare it to everyone elses charge/knockback/push, his is useless if you just block the bottom left as he's sprinting at you, and then you get punished by having all of your stamina drained.

His attacks are way too slow considering the damage he deals and his daze passive is absolutely useless considering only his side swipes are actually useful.

He also has crap HP and armor in comparison to the fat samurai who is just... fat... and the Lawbringer has "secret armor" that is the best ever but for some reason being fat means you take less damage.

His shove is also useless in comparison to other heroes, such as the warden who can extend his range by charging it and it has auto-aim where the Lawbringers is super easy to side step and punish.

Weirdly, as a Shugoki, I do struggle with Nobushi. I don't even really understand why, I just find that particular matchup difficult.

I've been looking for FG-Style 'best for' information, and I haven't tracked much down - Like, what's my best option after a Shugoki Parry, etc.

It's probably because with their range, they can break your armor before you get in range, then their attack speed lets them prevent you from attacking.

"Losing the game is fine, losing your honor isn't" - quote from some absolute autist in 4v4 on our team.

I'd be getting gangbanged 2v1 and he just stands there. Or I'd be in a 1v1 against the last dude and all 3 of my teammates just stand and watch cause "muh honur" despite the fact the enemy team doesn't give a poo poo. Funny thing is the last guy won cause he was a Warden and juked everyone.

I'm no bitch. I hate when people do it to me, why would I subject others to it? The height of hypocrisy would be to bitch about how much I hate them and how they ruin the experience, then go and do it myself.

This is why Ubi needs to sort this poo poo. If I wanted to play against or with bots, I'd go Player vs AI. It's a heap of poo poo. We get punished cause someone else is too big a baby to play the game win or lose.

There's no point in doing that in 4v4. 2v2 is more understandable. I just hate the gamemode though so I suppose I just want it over as fast as possible, win or lose.

Whats the best response to warden's top light shoulder bash combo? I play Nobushi and so far the only thing I've found is to dodge roll away and then spam back-Light to do the ranged poke to stop them closing. I feel like I need a better option as I can't get a light attack out quickly enough to stop it, and side-dodge doesn't seem to avoid it either.

Pray, basically. It's why Warden is utter horseshit right now. Your only option is to guess correctly.
