Dumb emblem question:
The first emblem I made is round. I was messing around with the creator the other day and...can I not make a new emblem with a different shape? I'm on XBone if that matters.

Your shield shape is based off of what faction you are.

The two things that will never fail to make me rage are 1) teammates who abandon you or stand idly by when you're attacking an enemy in 4v4 (when you rush to help them) because of "muh honur" and 2) people who spam the same cheese moves over and over AKA Warden Vortex / Lawmaker Shove / Valkyrie Shield Bash into Spear Slash

Jesus, I just played a few rounds of duel/brawl against a pretty drat good Peacekeeper. The amount of pressure she can generate is insane. Just a constant barrage of super-fast combos with constant feints and cancels mixed in. It took me a good long while to get the timing down enough to reach something close to parity, and even that only because I was Shugoki so I could just take some attacks of the chin and trade favourably. After that display, I'd probably put her at or near the top of the foodchain overall, especially once her guardbreak bleed-damage gets bumped up again.

Thing is, though, unlike the Warden that was actually really fun to play against. It was exhausting, but you always had a chance to block and (rarely) parry in time. Well, except for her area attack, that one I'll maintain is a bit bullshit.

I pushed a full health viking off a cliff yesterday. He called me pathetic and said I should fight him like a man. For the rematch, I beat him down to one bar of health and then pushed him off the cliff again.

Lawbringer is really good at pushing people off cliffs and I'm not going to stop playing him even if he's supposedly terrible.

I know from experience that a pair of coordinated Lawbringers can relay an opponent from clear across the map and off a cliff using their impalement charge. The nuclear meltdown in chat afterwards is a balm to my soul.

Honestly, if you have a team that prioritizes revives over anything else, you've got a winning team on your hands. Nothing makes me happier than seeing two of my teammates fighting one opponent, but one of them peels off quick to revive someone then they all go back and murderbone the dude.

When you've got two teammates beating the sense out of an enemy and not bothering to revive, it almost always ends in both of them getting wrecked by revenge and then we lose the match.

Fighting rep 5 PK as the Lawman. Kill them in 4 hits with the shove - GB - heavy - shove. Calls me out for spamming the same move.

You'd think in 100+ levels they would have learned how to tech guard breaks, but nope.

He's really good character to start out. You learn to parry, counter GB, shove and throw people around. Simplistic defensive and counter attack mentality. Teaches lot patience and to take the hesitation out of your game. Easy wins against most people. Get's lot more hairy against good players that counter GB constantly though.

I need help with recording gameplay clips. I'm using Shadowplay to record two minute segments. I tried 30 second and 1 minute clips but it sometimes would miss good action from earlier in a fight, and I can't press my record keybinding during a fight because if it's intense, I gotta fully focus and pressing a key would get me killed (I use a controller).

Is it possible to record from start to finish me playing the game for twenty minutes and then stick it in Adobe Premiere Pro and just cut out the boring bits I don't want? I'm a total scrub when it comes to editing stuff so I have no idea if I can just paste that one 20 minute segment and then delete bits out of it that I'm not interested in.

Can you always counter that combo though? Played against a Lawbringer that did that and despite anticipating the guardbreaks, because he did nothing but that, I still couldn't counter all of them. It'd be nice if the game had some visual difference between guardbreaks that are confirmed and those that can be countered.

All guardbreaks are counterable. The only ones you can't counter are the ones that connect when you're dodging. As for "shoves", they're the ones where the enemy gloves orange. Some classes can be interrupted if you attack them as they initiate it, but most get superarmour during it (Warlord is one, when he headbutts, just back the gently caress out, it'll connect cause you can't land two light hits before he hits you). It takes 1 hit to break superarmour and another to interrupt them, so it's usually safer to just dodge out the way of orange stuff. Orange attacks with weapons can be parried though, unless you're staggered.

You can just configure shadowplay to record the last five minutes or ten minutes or whatever.

This is incorrect. You mention dodges but guardbreaks after a parry also can not be countered. Guardbreak has some weird interactions with various things that the game doesn't really explain.

:') Spent 10 minutes in a 4v4 Dominion game where everyone left and it was just me against bots. I put up with all the desyncs as people joined. Just as we're about to win, enemy players ragequit and my game freezes after a resync and I get disconnected to the main menu. Was just about to hit prestige 3 as well.

This poo poo. This poo poo right here. Ubisoft, why would I wanna give my all in a round if the constant threat of getting booted looms over me? I was top of leaderboard and having a blast. gently caress this lovely connection issues. Just wow.
