Give me all your crackers
Anyone else finding that the game starts to get boring the better you get? Combat slows way down, no one wants to attack, and it just turns into one or two moves. I can't stand watching streamers anymore.

The segment where you have to shoot the lanterns with the bow? Pick up the fire bow, don't use it. Run around, wait for it to respawn.

I walked into the final boss fight with 11 arrows and just shot her to death.

The fact that she might as well have telegraphed her strikes with semaphore beforehand made her a lot less of a bitch than the orochi viking boss, in my opinion. She was kind of baby's first warden. Maybe I just got lucky.

I kind of feel that way too. Seems like most players are super passive and just waiting for parries now since getting one massively shifts the battle in your favor or outright wins it if you are on a map with nothing but ledges.

I found the Emperor in the Samurai campaign to be the absolute hardest fight in the game. He is just relentless and pushes your poo poo in SO FAST you barely know what happened.

A fair point. Personally, he was so much like normal orochis in multiplayer that I was like "yeah, fine, I know your kind." I couldn't even tell you why viking boss gave me such trouble, but I had more deaths taking him down than the rest of the game as a whole. Weird how certain things give different people trouble.

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.
I don't care how lovely the Centurion may end up being, I'm maining the poo poo out of him. Sorry, Orochi. Your two attacks don't compare to Centurion's fashion.

There was a 2v2 brawl tournament streamed yesterday. Timed rounds. Both players of both teams start facing one another. This meant that the turtle meta would not work. Teams that tried to fight it like two separate 1v1 'honorable' duels got beat. Most play was fast, dynamic and involved full tool kits for the heroes (except warlord maybe which seemed to still be a headbutt machine). I found it entertaining to watch and feel it showed the edges of what the potential for the game might be when it isn't a defense is king 1v1 thing. The teams that had a sort of dps/Tank mindset and effectively switched from target to target, peeled/tanked did the best.

The lack of spectator mode meant that the commentator had to be ritually murderized at the beginning of each round. I feel this should be related to as a feature and left in.

I think 4v4 and 2v2 modes could turn into something pretty cool with few changes and it sounds like those are possible.

I don't know how it is the better you get since I wasn't really better and now still have a hiatus for a couple from being able to play (hence watchingsuffering through streams).

I think that is going to be the answer. The game just does not work as a 1v1. But shits want to play a 2v2 as though its a 1v1 so it is going to be hard to get the community to change.

My favorite is when someone slides forward 15 feet like loving Akuma to guard break you. Or when they turn on a dime at a 90 degree angle. Super legit strats.

I'm beginning to regret getting this on PC instead of PS4. I'm spending more time waiting to get matchmade for a duel, than actually dueling.

This is why I play Raider and Conqueror. A couple Raider Top Heavies instead of unblockables would have done you in. Same with charged flails. Not to say you weren't impressive. God knows i would've just spammed attack and gotten murdered in your place.

There is an issue impacting the Dominion match stability of the Viking maps: River Fort and High Fort. In order to improve everyone’s experience in Dominion while we further analyze the issue, we had to remove those two maps from all multiplayer playlists until we fix the issue. This change will roll out over the course of this current turn and by the start of the next turn (11pm EST) those maps will be fully removed from the playlists. You will still be able to play these maps in Custom Match.

That's a great clip though. Cool target switching, etc. You have two ends of the spectrum. People who just start mindlessly spamming when they have an advantage and the honorboo Law Bringer who is waiting for a 1v1 or something.

Don't feel bad, they were idiots who spammed light attack. I only saw they try and GB you once. If they would have grabbed you and held you still 2x you would have been toast.

Also the raider was throwing out his unblock stand alone instead of putting it into a chain. If you just throw a light (you can wiff it) and then the unblock it does like 2x more damage.

For the record, in case you get slight stuttering issues or framedrops like I did, despite having a monster computer, you can solve it by

1 - going into your task manager and clicking details
2 - Right click for honor and choose "set priority" and set it to "below normal"
3 - Right click for honor and choose "set affinity" and then unbox a processor


This gave me buttery smooth framerates at highest settings whereas before it was kind of choppy

This. The dominion event has significantly unbalanced the mode participation dynamic and seems to have made the servers even more unstable than normal, especially for dominion. It'll balance out again after the weekend.

Also brawl is full of shitters, don't you believe it.

So fighting soldiers on the front is supposed to be the vanguards' thing for getting extra renown, which it is, but heavies get the same amount per soldier. has anyone else noticed this?

Both vanguard and heavy get 2 renown per soldier.

Nah, it won't. This has been a problem for me since before this event. Even now, I'm trying to get into dominion, and despite it saying "Very High", I'm forever waiting for it to go into "All Skill Levels" to finally get a match.

I don't think it's a point difference so much as vanguards are better at it. They kill the mooks faster and have longer kill chains. Could be wrong, though.

Edit: to the above, it could be that your ratio is so much better than the vast majority of the playerbase that there's not enough people in your league to pull a strict match together?
