Was nigh impossible to play with friends as it kept showing us as offline, or we'd join the group and instantly get disconnected, or - the absolute worst - we'd join a game only to be stuck in loading screen limbo as one of us ended up getting dropped without knowing. So we'd all have to hard restart the game. Were your connectivity problems on PC or PS4? Just got done playing for about 3 hours with friends on PS4, didn't have any problems at all really. Really pleasantly surprised at how much of a fighting game this is. I thought it was going to be a simpler version of mount and blade combat.

I love that you can play all characters without unlocking them so you can actually try out every single character to scope out if you like them without spending your steel (or whatever). I've already seen a bunch of people posting they hate the unlocks and micro transactions but actually they are done amazingly well. Gear has no effect unless you make a custom lobby for 1v1 or 2v2, only in 4v4 does gear stats come into play. I find 2v2 is the most fun anyway, so that's fine with me. 1. 1v1 modes and 2v2 modes DEFAULT TO GEAR STATS HAVING NO EFFECT . 2. Unlocking characters only lets you unlock gear/customization for that character. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO PLAY ANY 'LOCKED' CHARACTER IN THE PREBATTLE SCREEN. buckets of buckets posted:so how does this play? Is it more like chivalry: medieval warfare or more like dark souls or one of those far eastern games with like a billion chinese soldiers? dynasty wars?? 1/3 chivalry/mount&blade (directional attacks, blocking, feinting) 1/3 dark souls (third person lock on) 1/3 street fighter (combo moves, throws, guardbreak, interrupts) Captain Beans fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Jan 27, 2017 |

FYI there is an option in controls to turn L2 into a toggle. No longer do you have to hold down L2 to be in guard mode for 80% of a match giving you serious crab hand.

This game needs the mode from Tiger Knight where you have like 5 vs 5 people but only 1v1 fights at a time and you watch other people get dunked on and talk poo poo while its going on.

it's P2P? I didn't know much about this game, just clicked the email and said why not. That explains some of the game ending connection errors that would crop up here and there. Like when I'd be losing against some higher level dude, and then: *pulls an infinite Conqueror combo*

ohsosad posted:Guard break is absolutely ruining the game for me, i can't for the life of me get any good at counter blocking them so the majority of the time i'm just being stun locked to death in duels. 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.

Anyone playing a lot of Raider? I could use some tips on how to mixup his limited toolset. I understand he is not TOP TIER but whatever I enjoy dumping shitsacks off the cliffs. I'm a point where in 1v1s I can pretty reliably tech counter GB and parries, but I never know how to to follow up a successful parry so I just stopped parrying.

Is this common? I loathe 4v4 from what I played of it. What region are you in? I'm on PC in USA and 2v2 is my favorite mode. It places me in games in less than 30 seconds of search time. Open your ports/set dmz in your router. Also if matchmaking is taking more then 2 minutes cancel matchmaking and try it again. I've noticed it occasionally gets stuck(1/20 times or so).

Ice Fist posted:Raider exists so that you can punish an out of stamina enemy for 90% of their health. Have I missed a key Raider confirm? If someone is on the ground for either a out of stamina fall or a carry that dumps them the only confirmed hit I can get is a single zone attack. Technically not even that is a guarantee because they technically can parry it (but is very difficult to time). All other heavies can be blocked as they stand up.

signalnoise posted:Having a rep 4 raider is sucking the fun out of the game for me at the moment because I'm not blocking poo poo that I'm putting the input for, and any other class I try just doesn't feel right. I'd go with warden but ugh I already have a fuckin vanguard. Are you missing blocks vs PK and other assassins? I play a lot of Raider too and I've learned to just eat some lights from the fast classes and focus on watching for the heavy or the gb. If I just block 50% of light spam from a PK I'm ok with trading some of my life for their stamina so I can get them exhausted and put them into the heavy -> unblockable feint game. Typing that out makes me realize that Raider is basically a ghetto Shugoki and I could probably do much better with the fat man... Unfortunately Raider has a 2x skull helmet which owns, so I'm sticking with it.

PS4 has a shitload of players. Not quite as high as the open beta but that's to be expected considering free open beta vs paid game. Community events like play x many games total are stupid lazy anyway. It's not like any individual can really feel like they are contributing to achieving the total of 30546327732 required matches or whatever. The events section should be used as a highlight temp leaderboard. Achieve the highest renown score in dominion, longest kill streak in elimination without a death, etc. Have it show the top 10 scores for each faction or hell for each class. That would be much cooler. Captain Beans fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Mar 6, 2017 |

Since you can be GB'd out of full block and can no longer do it on reaction, it doesn't really have much a point. Before it was good for mid-tier players to stop assassin pressure but now... What's the conversion on ms to frames? As a scrublord, I don't understand which unit we are supposed to use to measure speed.

When I play Warden I actively seek out 2v1 in Dominion so I can powerup my goku meter and get my revenge damage boost to kill fools in 3 hits. Sometimes I feel like 2v1s are actually easier, although early on I felt like 2v1 was a death sentence. Once you get the hang of switching targets and how the 3rd party block/parry works its own zone. Also every class seems to have moves that have VERY generous tracking when switching targets, which are key to learn for 2v1 and target switching. For Warden it's the side heavy, it gives you a pretty crazy reach as your feet coast along the floor to reach targets who feel safe out of range. I don't even have anything beyond low tier blues so I can only imagine the carnage high level gear gives (although I guess other people have more of it at that level too). Realistically the best thing you can do as the 3rd participant in a 2v1 is to get directly behind the outnumbered guy and just spam gaurdbreak. Never light attack, and only maybe heavy attack overhand if the opponent initiates a heavy vs your teammate. Captain Beans fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Mar 8, 2017 |

Duder X posted:I just played against someone who ended up telling me that there are several uncounterable GB points against valk. After a blocked or dodged lunge attack, after a missed charge, and after a missed shield bash. He said it was because I had 'negative frames,' and that all classes had them as far as he knew. Google is of no use. Is there a list of points at which GB is uncounterable? That seems like crucial loving information to have. I haven't scoured this entire thread, so it may have already come up, but I've followed along a few pages at a time and have only ever seen a few mentions of guaranteed GB. Sounds right, most classes can be punished with a un techable gb on some wiffs. I believe everyone can get guaranteed GB on wiffed GB attempts too.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:The problem is, as I see it, heavy attacks have no purpose in mid- to high-level play except as guard break punishers or for any class-specific special properties (Valk's sweep, for instance). Otherwise you just get parried and destroyed. Would love to hear some alternative perspectives. Dunno where to draw the line for high level play but heavies have plenty of use at mid tier. I'd define mid tier as people who can parry heavys no problem, so when they see their opponent throw out a heavy they throw a parry. Well if you prime their brain by doing that once, let them parry and just suffer the consequences the next go round do it but feint the heavy and see if they threw out the heavy as they attempted to parry. Now you can catch their parry because the ability to watch for feints on heavys and then feint your own parry counter is some next level matrix poo poo most people don't do.

Red Mundus posted:Just had a prestige 7 warden tell me that he was tired of fighting the most overpowered class in the game (shugoki, who I was playing as). I'm sure you know this but really it bears repeating - prestige rank does not relate directly to skill. I mean if anything they could have played a majority of their time in dominion where lazy vortexing will kill 90% of people. This is really a game where unless someone whoops your butt you will never learn to get better. If you play warden and you can just lazy 50/50 vortex your way to most victories, and if you do it every time and win you will feel like you are king poo poo. Depending on how long you got away with poo poo stacking vortex you may or may not decide you need to actually adapt your play if you lose (vs claiming the other class is bullshit). By prestiege 7 I image he had a lot of time to poo poo stack his vortex pretty high and was unable to accept in his idiot mind that he might need to mix it up. In warden's case mixing it up actually means still using vortex but instead vary your charge up time, cancel shoulder bash into neutral (instead of into GB), and start doing dashes into shouldbash with cancels or sometimes with attacks.

Javes posted:So regarding Warden shoulder charge cancel, is there a way to cancel it after the animation happens? I feel like I've watched streamers initiate a shoulder charge and cancel it right before it connects with the opponent in order to GB them. I'm only aware of being able to cancel it before the animation occurs. It kind of looks like you are in the animation because as the shoulder charge launches the Warden shifts his weight forward, then you lunge forward with the GB. I'm not aware of any way to actually cancel it once you start scooting along the ground though.

Yorkshire Pudding posted:I really do think they balanced the game around different game modes. It's pretty clear that characters like Raider and Lawbringer are supposed to be better in 4v4. However that's an incredibly loving stupid way to balance a game because a class being good at 1v1 doesn't make them worse at 4v4, but a character being designed for 4v4 obviously makes them shittier at duels. Outside of PK (fast as gently caress), Warlord (if they play defensive max it sucks), Conq (if they play defensive max it sucks) I feel like all the other classes are on pretty good footing, well minus lawbringer really who is indeed better in 4v4 modes than 1v1.
