What if I strictly play as a black female Kensei?

I played a 4v4 deathmatch where like 4 players on either team were the Raider so all match you just hear him doing the shout for his unblockable over and over across the whole map it was pretty great. Dominion has a bunch of ambient explosions but 4v4 deathmatch is pretty quiet.

Speaking of the voices: Do knights speak in latin? Vikings speak russian?

Knights won the faction thing btw, so you picked knight grats, you get a sick border emblem thing:

Doubtful. It was pretty much the same through nearly every day of the Open Beta. We'd get clubbed to hell at night, then I'd wake up and we'd be in control again, or drat near.

Just seems to be an outcome of who's playing in what time zones.

Last night the Samurai were kicking the living hell out of everyone.

It's kind of a dumb article but they're not wrong that it's probably worth paying attention when it's used and how it's used because much like people who use swastikas in games frequently aren't actually being ironic at all, there is an actual correlation to lovely people

Oh, neat. Here's hoping they make either a flail or the poleaxe when it comes to the knights.

Watching a guy who sunk cash to buy the mythic Warden set. It loving gives him flaming angel wings

Are all the mythic sets this ridiculous?

Can you interrupt it with a guard break or attack?

the quality of players at launch is also much higher than it was during the betas... people are dodging and blocking so much better now

Exmond posted:

Yes. If you have no stamina if someone parries you you will be knocked down.

Being exhausted doesn't change the way you can defend though, which I think is the problem.

Minorkos posted:

except the only one that's really affected is just regular attacking

even guard break is still somewhat fast despite full stamina loss. dodging, parrying, blocking, rolling, guard break cancelling etc. are all unaffected so there's no real downside to temporarily running out of stamina as long as your defense game is good

it's ironic that you'd complain about false information when you're basically handing out some yourself in the same post

Captain Oblivious posted:

That reminds me, who other than Warden has a good zone attack for mixing into regular fights? I've had some success with the Zerker spin, but who else?

Sultan Tarquin posted:

The thing is that making them stamina starved doesn't really do anything. Even when they're out of stamina they can block, parry and dodge your slow attacks, charges and long arm.

Ok I gotta stop doing this to myself where I find out new poo poo literally after I post, but the raider unblockable is actually completely guaranteed after a guard break. It takes like 70% of your stam to do so but its more than a light attack anyway(but still less than most other peoples heavy attacks, naturally).

Internet Kraken posted:

So are you always guaranteed a free guard break after a parry?

Minorkos posted:

i can just beat my opponents by making them die of malnutrition irl when they tire themselves out trying to attack my impenetrable defense


i only really bought the game because i knew i could get a refund. i want the game to be good so bad and i'm hoping ubisoft starts paying attention to people discussing the obscene bias the game has on defensive play so that it may some day be nerfed and i can buy the game for real. i loved the game during the beta but it just has the gameplay depth of a game of tic-tac-toe and that really bothers me

Internet Kraken posted:

Nah, I like death hazards, but I think some of the maps go overboard with them.

I think the geysers are actually perfectly fine. The map itself allows you to maneuver around them and being tossed into one is only an instakill if you land right inside it as it erupts. Just brushing against it only takes away like half HP. Which sucks, but is a lot better than just losing the map outright. Plus the whole timing element means landing a geyser kill isn't so simple.

But then there's poo poo like the narrow forest bridge. If someone wants to fight on the bridge, the first guard break wins.
