how me a frog posted:I've been watching a guy called cartoonz play this on youtube and he says Lawbringer is good. Unless he edits his footage a lot it looks like he's right. Lawbringer is good but hard to play well and people are dumb and love to jump to conclusions. There's a reason the vanguard classes say "Easy" next to them  (not that they aren't hard to master, but other classes take much more practice to be decent)

Speaking of more bad UI quirks, I really wish the custom game would remember the last settings you had in there. Having to go in and reset everything just for a no damage 1v1 bot fight to test stuff is annoying.

Done with the 2nd campaign on realistic now, and holy poo poo gently caress OROCHI FOREVER trying to fight them without guard indicators is a NIGHTMARE let alone the boss level one at the end of the 2nd campaign who has unique attacks and like 5x normal health and block/deflects almost every attack

Played 1v1s as Valkyrie all evening and literally didn't lose a single game. The only guys I really ever died to were Conquerors and Warlords, but even they weren't much trouble. Is she OP or are people just bad? Cos I'm definitely not particularly good at this.

Well haven't you heard? It's easy to defend literally every single attack, so there is no reason you should ever lose.

Someone tell me how to play the Berserker, because right now I've been running through, nailing people in the back, and rolling away only to come back the second they turn their attention away from me. I'm being annoying, but I feel it isn't the RIGHT kind of annoying.

I'm not good so I don't know if that means they're bad. When I see them in 1v1, like any other class, I'm just happy they're not Nobushi.

That's pretty effective in Dominion or Skirmish, but if you wanna be a good Berserker play lots of duels and learn how to gently caress people up with mixups and fast combos.

I'll happily sit and duel anyone who wants to grind out the basics. Playing against bots can only take you so far and it helps to have someone sitting and explaining things to you. You also have a little bit more control because you can't tell bots what you want to practice. The mumble has some Nice and Cozy channels for all good goons to enjoy. Then we can play together because playing Dominion with pubbies makes me want to vomit. uplay: FreshSheshBesh

If you queue up and it tries to place you in a game that's full it should just behind the scenes requeue with no input from the user. Hopefully they fix some of those seemly obvious bad UX choices.

Only people who have that feat (I think all vanguards get it at rank 1, but you can swap it out) and even if you have it, you have to have earned it first. But its only rank 1 so it doesn't take long to get that one. Everybody gets health regen if they're holding A or C. Reposting: https://imgur.com/a/nKH4x <- how dominion works

At the very least Ubisoft did the right thing and gave you the ability to hide whatever chat you want. Quickchat only while voiping with your pals is the best way to enjoy the game.

Wandle Cax posted:Is skirmish just like elimination with respawns? Kind of yes. I finished a elimination and I didnt pay attention to map votes or whatever I just readied up and picked my hero for the next round. Didnt pay attention at the loading screen but we all started grouped together and I first thought it was an elimination map where you just go balls out 4v4 as a group and see which group dies first. But then I saw loving npc soldiers running around. It was bad because we spent most of the time looking for the enemy. When you die you respawn after 12 secs. You get points for killing npcs and players and the first to reach 1000 wins. I think, idunno I didnt finish it. They should go back to the drawing board with that mode. A smaller map and longer revives would go a long way.

It doesn't offer anything you couldn't get out of dominion or elimination, so why play it? Plus orders specific to elimination can't be completed in skirmish which is annoying. Other than that, 2v2 is my least favorite mode. I mean I can see how it would if I had someone to play it with, but for a solo player its awful. You get way more salty people and have to contend with the entire  HONOR crowd. And if you are just doing 1v1s why not queue for that mode anyways?VVV Literally the first match I played on release a 2v2 against AI. The guy I played with insulted me for dying and called me trash

I enjoy 2v2s because i get to type 'grave dishonoure' in chat when i am backstabbed and then turn the next round into a clusterfuck of running around messing with lock ons and dodges when that doesn't happen you get a bit more downtime between rounds either b/c you are dead or you are waiting for the other two to finish fighting and you swap off each life so you get a break from fighting nobushi/conquerer/whatever it is you don't want to fight against that everyone you queue against in duel is using every time basically it feels a bit more casual, and fills a niche lobbies would be ideal for but lol if ubi will ever realize they should do that

Has anyone managed to play any of the assassin classes with KB/M? I've tried going through the campaign with a dualshock 4 with custom bindings, but I still feel KB/M is essentially better if it wasn't for the god drat accidental guard break directions activating on assassin. I almost thought of getting some sort of mouse movement disable key to press while you don't want to move to a guard but that just gets overly complicated and slows reaction time. On DS4 I set up LT = dodge/confirm LB = feint/cancel Right Stick button = guard break Cross/A = Guard toggle Square/X = Switch target ...I also experimented with holding gyro slightly to a certain direction to keep it activated, which wasn't bad, if I wanted to get used to it.

So does anyone actually know how the faction war works? As in, what causes you to gain/lose territories? The game says its based on your performance but I have no idea it penalizes you for doing poorly or if its nothing but positive gains.Dessel posted:Has anyone managed to play any of the assassin classes with KB/M? I play zerker on mouse. Its actually the reason I decided to not use a controller; I found the combo to do the dodge+attack really hard on a controller. Its simple on PC. Accidentally switching my guard sucks but driving the guard mode sensitivity down to 0 helps with that.

Internet Kraken posted:So does anyone actually know how the faction war works? As in, what causes you to gain/lose territories? The game says its based on your performance but I have no idea it penalizes you for doing poorly or if its nothing but positive gains. Every time you play a match, you can deploy 'war assets' in the regions that battle type currently falls under. You can manually pick which region, and you generate some 'assets' each match based on your performance. So basically everybody on one faction is throwing all their points against the other team's points, for each game mode. You can individually put your points into one region or another after a match, in order to pick where they're most needed and avoid wasting them on a region that is already well reinforced and winning, but if you don't pick anything it'll just automatically distribute the points you earned across all the territories for that game mode. Which is probably what most people are doing, because its such a big collective war that there's not really any strategy in picking. At the end of each period (24 hours? It says how much there is left) each territory that was under combat passes to whoever has the most points in that region. Multiple regions in the same combat can pass to one side while several others pass to the other side. If you wanted to try to put thought into it, just select 'deploy war assets' after each match and either pick a region you're barely controlling or one that you're close to taking over, to avoid wasting points. Pretty sure its nothing but positive gains. But in theory if you're doing bad, the other faction is getting more points than you are. Its kinda like the Harry Potter house system combined with a really simple game of Risk. TLDR: Faction war doesn't matter, ignore it, just pay attention to your orders so you can get steel.

When you go to deploy just zoom out (B on my controller) and pick a different front. So if you're doing 1v1 you can still dump your war assets into the domination zone if you want. I'm not sure why I typed all that because it truly doesn't matter.
