Speaking of Peacekeeper, I get wrecked by her triple stab guardbreak. It feels like it does crazy damage. Is there any way to stop it, other than getting good at guardbreak counters? Sometimes I don't get stabbed all three times; is that the Peacekeeper just messing up the combo, or is there something I can to avoid taking massive damage if I get guardbroke?

Usually thats peacekeeper loving up, nut I read that if you guard break between stabs it stops the combo. Dunno if its true

This game is gonna be a sure buy for me just for the 1v1 mode, all the other stuff will be fun side-attractions. My biggest fear is that they will charge $5++ for future characters with no way to purchase them with in-game currency, which would really suck. If they stick to just making stuff you have to purchase with $$$ to cosmetic or boost type things, I'll be fine with whatever they do.

They appear to have literally copied the Rainbow Six Siege monetization scheme down to the details, so probably you'll be able to unlock the in-game characters with about 10-15 hours of gameplay apiece.

I was theorizing this exact scenario a few pages ago but the other posters were very skeptical. We shall see.

The siege model is very cheap for "base" operators, and like 15 hours of gameplay for DLC operators. Obviously they will make the DLC characters expensive in steel to encourage people to buy them, I don't think anyone is disagreeing with that.

Jesus christ, why. We already had a mumble channel, can we just not split people up even further?

Fashinated posted:

What's wrong with Discord?

The fact that we already had a channel, and now people will be split up across different programs. There really wasn't a need for a Discord channel when we already had a mumble channel up where all the goons were concentrated into one area that you could drop in and look for a game. IMO, setting up different channels in different programs just makes it harder to get people for a game and splits up the community rather than bringing people together.

For me the game crashed a lot, but OTOH I only saw one bug which interfered with the actual gameplay which was getting stuck on a ladder, and the game ran very smoothly and the controls felt surprisingly intuitive for mouse and keyboard.

I would probably put Warden at the top, followed by Orochi and peacekeeper. Warden gives you a lot of control because you have crushing counterstrike for top attacks, double-hit on the side lights, and your zone attack comes out very fast with long range. Orochi has some quite good disengage and fast zone attack. Peacekeeper has good engages and the triple-stab guard break does an absurd amount of damage with no counterplay.

fadam posted:

Can't you just tech the guard break?

Yes you can counter the initial guard break but once you have been guard broken, you cannot counterplay the three stabs, which will eat one-third of your health. I don't think there is another ability in the game that gives this much damage potential with this little warning and this little opportunity to counter.

Captain Beans posted:

Just attack? If you are in any sort of wind up for a light or heavy attack their guard break does nothing. It's truly only a gaurd break, not a throw or grapple.

I also gave up on trying to time counter guard breaks.

"just attack" is good advice if you're playing against a bad player maybe.

Do heavy attacks cause damage if unparried even if the block is in the right place? If not what do they do when blocked? What's the advantage to parrying?

Any videos I should go watch to gitgud a little more? I've only played Raider so far because BIG MAN AXE HURR suits my intelligence level nicely

heavy attacks do caused chip damage if unparried, and parrying drains the enemies stamina a lot and for fast characters you can get a light attack or guard break off

IMO the game will have community for at least a year or two to come simply because it's unique and has a high production value. There are definitely flaws with the game e.g. balance, peer-to-peer etc, but I think I will get $50 of fun from it over its lifespan so i i'll buy it and get it on it while there are still noobs to be mercilessly crushed.

Technically only the berserker gets an uncounterable guardbreak on a deflect, peacemaker gets an uncounterable shank on a deflect. I could be wrong.

edit: by shank i mean a single jab, not the triple stab

no you're right, but deflects and parries are different things. If you're peacekeeper and you parry, then you are basically guaranteed a guardbreak while the opponent is recovering.

you can't block the stabs, that's just the peacekeeper loving up the timing

Why should revenge mode not be available in smaller matches? It's a good mechanic for either giving you a chance at someone who's just spamming you with light attacks, or giving you an much-needed edge if you get 2v1'd. Otherwise you would just get wrecked every time by wildly swinging idiots and it would suck.

How would you get wrecked by wildly swinging idiots without revenge mode? Attacks drain stamina

OctaMurk
Jun 21, 2013
In a 2v1, it's a very good mechanic. In a 1v1, I don't think it's a great mechanic. If a guy's stamina is drained they cannot roll backwards, so you can chase them down and gently caress them up especially with throws. In Duel and Brawl because of no gear stats, revenge is pretty much never an issue; in a 1v1 fight during elimination or dominion (which is clown mode anyways) it becomes absurd if someone put their gear towards revenge mode.

Also, can we put in the OP that there are goons in the Chugging the Stairs mumble under Ubisoft Central, and put maybe one Discord voice channel that we all agree on?

Don't bother with KB&M here. This is definitely in the category of games where you shall use the controller or suffer. Probably the most glaring example, blocking. Not only is it nearly impossible to NOT be blocking in a direction with the KB&M configuration, which means your more susceptible to guard breaks, but shifting your block direction is very iffy. Like if you're a person who holes their mouse slightly tilted, then you may have a natural swing of slightly up or down when moving the mouse left or right and suddenly you're guarding in the wrong direction. Or just the vagueness of the deadzone with the mouse over a stick. Granted there may be a control scheme that allows blocking via keypress instead of mouse movement, I didn't dig that deep, but this just seems like a game where KB&M is a definitive no go if you want to really master it.

Lol everyone look at this awful advice
