I'm looking forward to Guard stick sensitivity being configurable because I know I've definitely taken a lot of hits I shouldn't have in matches because of it.

Can we remap buttons yet?

P sure you can remap on PS4 using the system configuration remaping and on steam I think you can remap using the controller settings via big screen mode (or whatever it's called).

If you bought on pc via uplay I guess your boned though.

For people having issues against turtles, it helps a lot (mostly in duels) to mentally prime your opponent. If in the first round, you purposely throw out a lot of un-feinted heavies, they will be more likely to believe your feints in later round.

That kind of stuff isn't really necessary in 4v4, but you really have to play mind games to do well in duels / brawls

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


On my Warden I like to open with her running heavy a lot because it comes out quick and most people aren't used to guarding against it. Then try to land something else fast like a top light or zone attack so that they're already down a health bar and have to play from behind. Sometimes it even works!

You can also throw a zone attack too to keep them guessing on which side your attack will come from. Once you get the timing down right you can basically do it out of a sprint.

How are there so many mechanics changes to give Raider mixups, and Shu stays exactly as is. How?

Sounds like they were working on the Raider changes for a while, even before the patch that nerfed Oni charge.

Just because Liquor's dead, doesn't mean you can just roll this bitch all over town with "The Freedoms."
After not playing this for a while to play through Prey instead, I can safely say that the 50/50 of a Raider either doing their unblockable zone attack or baiting you into a parry when you're out of stamina still pisses me off.

No? there have been several patches before this. It's the start of season 2 so I guess they are timing a major update with that

I can't wait till they fix the guard direction sensitivity. I'm getting tired of eating shots that I should be blocking.

I'm retroactively blaming all my losses on guard stick sensitivity, so now I can comfortably live in the illusion that I'm not so terrible at this game. All future losses will be due to lag + imbalance.

Gross, Warden is still 0% fun to fight against. Literally the only class I loving hate to go against. PK was annoying but at least you still had a chance of winning. Warden just goes full defensive and will only top-attack back if you top attack him, and spam vortex, over and over.

12 days champ status and it's for everyone to mark the start of the new season which will be up within the next day, wait till the update is live before you open the crates because then the new gear system will be in use.

I figured that's what the boxes were about, but I never saw an announcement or anything. I'm really digging all the free stuff from Ubi. It almost makes me feel bad about complaining... almost.

If that is every create you ever earned then you can probably farm some more of them from the single-player. I have more than 15 crates right now and I've used at least a dozen.

(I have 16 which is more than 15)

So I couldn't find anything on how to ask Ubisoft to give me the viking faction rewards I never got despite never switching since when I began in the middle of the last season. What should I do to try and get these rewards?

Confirming that it's very slowly preparing to download on PS4. I kind of didn't expect it to take so long to queue because even though psn downloads are excruciatingly slow nobody plays this game so

the warden execution is one of the few examples i can think of where they're obviously artificially increasing the length of the execution, which seems bizarre because warden already has a slew of very long executions.

that lawbringer execution is loving sick though.

centurion feels pretty good.

Which Warden executions are long? The only one I could think of the is 'Guts and then Chop' which is still pretty fast compared to some other characters.

Yeah, and she's got that spinning backhand or whatever it's called, which is a really fast one-two that might be among the fastest in the game. It kind of seems like the new set of executions is intended to generate maximum salt. Plenty of them have these extended sequences where you're just letting the victim stay alive to taunt them. :getin:

Also, holy poo poo make sure you don't get hit by the Centurion's charged side unblockable. That thing seems to confirm into an extended combo that deals like 70-80 damage all told.
