Worst part about that guy wasn't even his attacks and whatnot.

Same here, but only on Elimination, and also sometimes if it's an arena with fires and a huge gangfight occurs near one.

The game is on my ssd, gtx 970 with latest drivers, and everything set to one below recommended since I remembered ubisoft games usually have garbage pc ports somehow.

Your SSD won't do anything for FPS most of the time. The SSD will mostly only affect loading times. FPS means CPU and/or GPU.

SSD has entirely gently caress-all to do with FPS dude. SSD just makes you load faster. :v: Why would you even say SSD?

glad i just bought a used copy of this that i can return because i don't think it will stick with me. even without the gear issue, i just find the 4v4 modes unfun. the fun part of the game is the one on one combat and the clear best way to win the 4v4 modes is to not engage in 1v1 combat whenever possible.

don't know if duels and brawls will be enough to sustain my interest

yes. it is not fun enough for me to spend $60 on it. i played for one day and i'm already losing my interest. it has more depth than most games but i no longer have faith in it as a legit competitive game.

Yeah usually it's the GPU. This one might be a special exception for CPU though because the simulation stuff is a huge performance drag.

He was pretty annoying and had to resort to waiting on the self heal cooldown while he spammed arrows that couldn't hit me inside a building on the third phase, he pretty much went full anime.

The real problem came with the regular orochi enemies that were impossible to tell the attack direction and would send you back to the start of the mission because they forgot to add checkpoints anywhere on realism.

Another huge pain was the seijuro mission, on realism there were no checkpoints, you had to do the entire mission over if you died to the final boss, I ended up just running past everything that could be run past to just get to him.

I died to him several times doing it by myself. When I redid it with my brother so he could clear, my brother unwittingly cliffed him and I jump killed him at the very beginning of the fight. My brother didn't understand why I was laughing so hard.

Warlord friends, what gear set-up are you guys running?

Here's what I have so far:



I feel like block damage is really important. If you take the feat that lets you do damage with your lights you basically can't ever lose a 1v1 once you hit level 3. Revenge mode stuff doesn't as good as other classes (it takes about 4 blocked hits to get revenge I think), but considering how good our revenge mode is I think its still better than the alternatives. I want to get a helm with debuff resistance on it for the parry shenanigans, but the only purple gear that drops for me is shields :(

I'll swap out the hilt and blade for throw distance and feat cdr when the revenge nerf happens.

I mean I'm obviously exaggerating, but if you really stack it you can throw them pretty drat far. I main Lawbringer, so being able to reliably cliff and wall stagger folks is pretty intrinsic to my play.

Plus I am the Cliff King after all. Got a rep to maintain.

Throw gear appears to confer no benefit to Warlords, as they have that shield charge instead, and the stat doesn't seem to limit the distance of the charge at all.

They don't get the renown. Or the honorable renown bonus, if it was a 1v1 before some other guy dashed up to finish him off.

Not that that matters in brawl, of course.

It certainly does have a benefit. The warlord just follows them.

I played a game against a Warlord with maxed throw. He pushed us all over the place.

If that's true then gear reductions to the throw stat certainly don't seem to exact much of a charge distance penalty. My warlord's throw distance stat is as reduced as possible (for Rep 2) at 76 Gear Score, and can still charge people around for what feels like pretty large distances. I think, on balance, I gain more from Revenge Gain from Injury.

That reminds me of a hilarious round a few days ago that I had as Shugoki on... I think the map's called High Castle? Where the A point is on top of a tower and C on a rocky cliff connected to the rest of the map by some narrow bridges.

So, playing a heavy, I immediately beelined it over to C and declared it my personal domain. An enemy Orochi tried to attack it, approaching across the really narrow bridge with no guardrails. So of course I just used Charge of the Oni right down there and knocked him to his death. As soon as he respawns he comes again, down the same bridge. I charge again, he flies again. Third time he wised up and wouldn't step on the bridge while I was in charging range. So I took a step back, let him cross, then immediately guardbroke him and down he went again. And then he came again down that same approach, and again I sent him flying.

At that point he started bitching, so I advised him to maybe not come running down the most obvious and precarious route possible. And the next time he actually went around the long way and got onto the cliff safely. I even played stayed well away from the ledge and waited for him on the centre of the point. So he closed in and we squared up for a proper duel. We traded a few blows, I parried one...

...and threw the guy right into the spikes that were on the point next to us. Immediate ragequit. :feelsgood:

Same. Revenge mode on Warlord is insane, and even in 1v1 duels with gear turned off I'm able to push people basically anywhere I want.
