This game is crap, I go through one tutorial which doesnt even cover have of the fight stuff you can do and then thrust into a game where there are 9 other characters that I have absolutely no idea what they do. I just get rekt because ive never played them and nothing was ever explained how to play them. I tried to play an assassin and got destroyed because I couldnt block heavy attacks or some **** like that, I still dont even know.

Sounds like you chose a specialist character and should have stuck to the all rounder for another round or two

I agree, some crucial gameplay tips are missing.
Like the game doesnt properly explain that parry and guards are the most important in the game wich you should start of practicing.
Ive spent the entire last closed beta time on practicing and didnt get the understanding by just watching the given ingame informations tho - yesterday i went on like tru3ta1ents stream and rewatched 8 hours of his vods, that did improve my gameplay alot more, than the game tutorials could explain me.

Like its really just that you have to practice and you gota understand how important guards and parrying really is, if you dont get that you dont get anywhere in this game.

I think starting into this game it needs basic requirements, such as simply playing against simple bots and then watch some community tutorials to get better understanding what makes you better in the game.
The given ingame tutorial that you start off before heading into multiplayer DOES NOT teach you how to parry wich is a massive mistake. It shows you how to attack from different directions, it shows you how to guard, or even how to guardbreak - but the most important, parry? Nope :|

Like whats also missing is a proper explanation about the timings in this game, even when you watch the given tutorial vids for any class they are difficult to understand if you are a beginner.
Usually you would expect a controller overlay, that shows wich buttons get pressed and the vid runs in slowmotion so you can follow up what is happening and wich buttons beeing pressed at a specific timewindow.

Be more attentive and resourceful. If you go into the character's info, there's a basic training video and an advanced training video. They will both tell you everything you need to know about the character you wish to play. For exampl: All assassins can't hold their block, they get a second long window.

im gonna say it, at the 100% chance someone comes along and tells me to "l2p noob.".

The combat is too complicated and clunky.
The chain stunning, the guarding that doesn't seem to block, the parrys that never parry but once in a blue moon.. Even in practice mode the parry mechanic wasn't well explained nor did it seem to trigger when executed..

The guard mode and directional combat were nice ideas, but I don't think they are working very well.. Too slow, too clunky.. Add latency to the mix = bad game people won't buy.

The menu ui is atrocious. The tutorial is bad.

I can understand they are trying to tap into an untapped first person melee pvp game.. I think its a great idea but they have some poor mechanics, and poor decisions happening in this game..

I felt like a complete ****** trying to play this game for the last 3-4 hrs.. Never have i almost punched my monitor in a game, but this game i come close..

They really should have done things a lot different.

This game looks gorgeous, but that is about all it has going for it.. i really do tip my hat to the graphic designers.. nice job..

Oh no you can't be godlike and know everything in the first hour of playing? Pfff what a bad game.

choose one of the first chars like warden first assasins are squishy as hell and you can die in 2-3 hits.
Other than that it's just practice.

You;re probably just awful like most of the other players. I don't have any problems parrying/blocking/countering guard breaking. Also complaining about things being too complicated makes everything else you wrote invalid.

This is a great way to grow the community, and you're not an *******.

Game has a learning curve. You learn as you go. I wasn't the best starting out either. It is unforgiving if you don't stick with it. It's very much based off your ability to adapt and learn.
