If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
Renown 2 level 9 on my Kensei. Not too long now until I'll be the prettiest princess at the samurai ball :swoon:

Also up to 11000 steel just playing the game and doing daily objectives, not too long now until I'll have the 15000 for the cherry blossom outfit with the sick hydra helmet.

Not like you really need steel for packs until you hit renown 3 anyways. There's one execution I really want though, which i'll save up for next.

That, and revenge stats on gear need to just go away entirely. It just turns into a nonstop revenge mode fuckfest. If your gear score is too low, you might as well be one of the dumb soldiers in zone B getting repeatedly owned by a super saiyan.

I don't think that I've ever agreed with anything more than I agree with this statement. The more garish the outfit, the more negatives it has, killing people as the prettiest most delicate princess would be amazing.

Same, but with Lawbringer. Having the fancy mythic outfit isn't going to mean anything if I don't have the impale execution as well.

Dead weight, just like this post.



So i was playing on my freshly prestige 1 Conqueror last night and out of the loot drops from one game i got a level 7 shield. It had a massive amount of revenge gain by injury and blocking BY DEFAULT. The only downside was a lot less stamina reduction but who the gently caress cares.

I mean people can (validly) complain that people stacking revenge gear is a problem but really it seems the gear just comes prefucked in it's own right.

the way that bash attacks function in this game is gonna keep me from playing it long term unless something is changed. i'm at the point where i think every class with a bash is better than those without because it is the only surefire safe way to beat good players who can block,

What's the timing on successfully dodging Viking attacks? Both the warlord and the berserker have these jump attacks that seem to track me even if I try a side dodge.

Yeah I want the "insert new spine" Kensei execution :)

It feels like a Mortal Kombat fatality. Even moreso than the normal executions.

(I'm glad we don't have to do hidden button combos to pull off executions btw)

They're pretty easy to parry so just do that instead. If you're a Warden, Crushing Counter is even better.

After you parry, do a guaranteed guardbreak and then whatever your class does when they get a GB. Probably throw them off a ledge.

Playing as peacekeeper, I don't have a parry. Valk is causing me the same trouble. It's just spear everywhere no matter where I dodge.

Everyone can parry. Then get your guaranteed GB and triple stab. Or throw them off a ledge if you're really close to one.

If you dodge to... Dodge, you will always avoid the spear and counter for damage.

If you spam a to approach.... Why?

Ignoring character balance, things I'd like to see in the next patch:

- This unlocking during a attack bug for double shugoki damage/unblockable hits, if a character is weak without it give them a buff but they shouldn't need to use that.
- A 4vs4 queue with gear disabled, I'd like to be able to play something with 3 or more friends who don't play enough to hit rep 3 on anything without them being trashed by invisible numbers.
- Assassins not being able to stand up while knocked back without stamina because they jiggled their guard enough.

That too, should just let you complete it against either AI or players.

The AI isn't good enough to tell it's being lured to be knocked off a cliff in this game, don't force the daily min/maxers to play against them.

They're easy to complete, but running over to a ledge, waiting for the bot to follow you, then throwing them off isn't exactly the most rewarding gameplay.

If it didn't work the first 13 times, just try it again. Surely 14th time's the charm.

Duel and Brawl are in the same category, stop being an rear end or I'll challenge you to a 1v1 and get you put on 1 day probation, scrub. I got those 13 kills just from two games, and the first game was me killing them via light attacks. The next game I did executions.

So someone said something about not opening boxes (or crates or something) until you are prestiged? How does that work? I've got a few crates from just doing the campaign but I haven't opened them.

Don't touch crates til Prestige 3, else you're loving yourself over. Highest tier gear isn't available until you hit Prestige 3, so opening crates before that means you're wasting a decent crate on potentially shitter items.

Yeah bash attacks are, outside of bugs, the biggest issue this game has. It's not exactly a coincidence that the top 4 classes have bashes. The tracking on bashes is really what makes them overpowered and the fact that it's really easy to combo guarantees off of them and chain back into the bash to repeat.

I thought prestige levels were linked to individual classes? Or do you have class levels and an account level?

The former is what he's saying. Don't use the crates until you hit P3 with whatever hero you want. You scavenge gear for individual heroes from the hero menu. A crate essentially just removes the 500 steel cost to doing a premium gear scavenge for whoever you want.

I think the crate gives you an extra guaranteed premium drop, but yeah, more or less.
