raider's best stuff involve the pommel strike daze thing into mixups, and he might have the best feint game in my opinion. he is overall solid, but i think the stuff that makes him really good requires a lot of higher level play. he does not get a lot of damage for free, but he has some of the best high level tricks to gently caress players up.

Play raider, get real good at parries and feints, make shitters mad they're losing to the "worst" character. It's a fun time.

The second hit of the raider's light attack combo has a decent lunge to it, you can catch people off guard with that. Also feints are good, learning to parry and what you can punish with parry is good too.

2v2 is starting to get awful. People talking poo poo even when they win. At this point 1v1 is the only thing keeping me and with nier and andromeda dropping soon...

I might put this game down for a bit. There's just so much bullshit about it and there's so many other good games out right now. I'm hoping Ubisoft gets their poo poo together and in 2-3 months this game picks up, but I don't have high expectations.

I'm starting to get burned out on the game. The core gameplay is great, but connection problems and gearscore destroying 4v4 is ruining the game for me.

I still haven't gotten a single character to Rep 3 because I play a new one every day. But even when I do I don't think I'll give a poo poo because Ill just blow all my scavenger crates, get like 100 gear score, and then continue to not play 4v4 cause it's a boring buggy mess. Maybe once ranked comes out I'll be more hip on dueling.

This game will be dead as poo poo in 2-3 months, unless they do some drastic changes (don't count on it). The game is just filled to the brim with poo poo that probably feels "unfair" for the new/average/below average player, which is not how you keep a healthy playerbase.

It definitely will not be dead in 3 months anyway.

It'll never be dead, but if they don't change poo poo they'll just have the same 5,000 people playing it forever. Edit: which actually presents an even larger problem. My highest ranked character is prestige 1(15). Between every character I'm probably like prestige 4 total. Yet in duels and brawls I'm constantly put up against prestige 8/9/10+. Good luck attracting any new players when stepping into duels/brawls get you put up against people with 200 hours on a single character, and 4v4s put you up against people with 200 hours on a single character and maxed out gear.

I only really get frustrated facing Warlords, as they are extremely defensive with a fast gapcloser and also a fair bit of health with which to trade uninterruptible heavy attacks and also a pretty good shield push after guardbreak

I find it amazing how many people get extremely salty if they face someone who doesn't meet their strict code of conduct for 1vs1's or a class that they feel cheap. I also find it hilarious how the designers seemed to know the sort of people to get salty about unhonorable deaths this game would attract so they made 2 out of 3 of the 1vs1 maps have death pits everywhere.

More than anything that's just lovely and makes the match no fun when it comes up, because it devolves into some quickdraw on who's gonna push who first and not tech. Like the rickety jungle bridge or whatever is just 100% dogshit to ever see because even random heavies from classes will knock someone off. It's boring and doesn't feel any good to win.

That bridge is so lol. Play Shugoki. I bat people off ledges unintentionally at least once a game. I can't control my GB R2 and the ridiculous physics just yearn for the death of everyone.

I throw people off cliffs every chance I get. I don't fish for em but it's easy to get a parry and toss em. If they complain in chat I just say "sorry mate I can't hear you down there". In my opinion several of the classes are balanced around having good throws so if you cut that out you're losing lethality for nothing.

I've noticed it's always assassins bitching about it. You never hear heavies bitching about how bad environmental kills are.

Yeah I don't want NO hazards, I just groan when it's the really dumb areas where it's instakills EVERYWHERE. Also raider main player saying that.

I'd like more non insta death. More fire, or ice that if you get pushed into you slip or something.

The water fountains are pretty fun as well. Just (fairly severe) damage while they're going, but if you time it just right they're an instakill. My probably favourite moment as Shugoki was batting a guy across one of them, only to have it go off right as he was in midair above it.

The environmental damage or needing to time it for the kills are actually fun and not terrible to have, fire is a good "oh poo poo" moment that isn't lethal, the geysers act like fire when they are up or will straight up kill someone if you time it perfectly. The option to fight on top of ice that cracks after awhile would be nice and less instant death pits and magnetized spikes.

The game is just filled to the brim with poo poo that probably feels "unfair" for the new/average/below average player, which is not how you keep a healthy playerbase. I think right now the game is still successful enough that the devs aren't panicking about it but there are legitimate frustrations. So far, the biggest flaws are: 1) Game is still a bit content light - this is the most likely to be addressed and I expect there to be more by year's end. 2) Disconnects - these are frustrating and might be too difficult of an issue for Ubisoft to figure out without a real clear commitment, since it's a gently caress up on the architecture side. 3) Balance - this matters from a 'meta is stale' perspective. I'd rank this lower than the first two issues other than the legitimate complaints on revenge gear score cheese which does need to be solved.

Yorkshire Pudding posted:How do these scavenge crates work? Where do I open them? Go to your characters, pick one and it's on that list of stuff like the movelist, there'll be scavenge gear or something like that. You can buy 3 completely random pieces (One guaranteed to be high level), 3 pieces of armor (Same as before), 3 weapon pieces (Same) and use a crate which is 5 random items (Two pieces guaranteed high level). Also big note, don't use them before rep 3 though. They'll only give you what your current possible top is, which before 3 means blues, then at 3 or more the highs are always purple.

It might look like you only have one on the scavenge screen but the real total is top left corner. Been having more success as Raider by using heavies really sparingly. They are so slow and so easily punished but they do so much damage you don't have to do it that often.

They gotta double the rate you level up. It's too grindy for a game that costs money.

So have they fixed things yet? No? Okeydoke (goes back to playing the 4-5 other vastly more entertaining games recently released). VVVVVVV haha you think that last one is exclusive to Raider. Buck Wildman fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Mar 15, 2017 |
