What the heck did they do?!?! This game WAS awesome | Forums

Connection problems are horrible, you can not play a single full game because of connection problems.

Something changed in the combat system at least in the berserker. I'm worried about the game since in the closed and open beta the game was very good, now I would ask them to give me back the money.

I totally agree with you. Every 2 minutes someone is leaving (without any penalties) or someone is kicked... You have that black screen coming up telling you to wait blablabla.

Also, I main Berserker, and there is something really different in the dodging! I can't dodge like I used to do on the Beta. Now I often get hit by the orochi or the kensei. Seems like the timing changed, and it's really bad now...

I agree something has changed drastically with block, GB, GB interupt- the pc gameplay is now clunky and now where near as fun as the betas

This is the reason Ubisoft need to start posting detailed patch notes ASAP, or this forum will turn into complete vomit!

No sign on devs responding here too. I will literally bump this until one of them responds eventually !!! They are obviously on and responding throughout the day.....

What changed between Closed/Open beta and now?

The game was great and fun and the combat was precise, now it just feels like an unresponsive crapfest with the new chars just tossing people around while they get beat up. Its stupid, and its not just the new chars, dodging feels different, blocking feels different, changing guard is slower and now gets stuck in one direction for a split second, whereas before I could switch back and forth very quickly.

I have heroes pulling off moves that they didnt do before, and arent documented in the movelist(example, Nobushi now does this weird backoff move after a parry sometimes when I am trying to follow a parry with a light strike... and I have NO CLUE how I am doing it, and would like to NOT DO IT AT ALL)

The game was really very good in Closed and Open beta, but they broke some stuff.... but I cannot put my finger on exactly what.

Add to that the timing required for precise combat changes in EVERY match based on whether your host has a crappy machine and connection or not, and I am now getting worried about the future of this game. And man, I was HYPED... now I am just disappointed and concerned....

I think you and now I have learned the biggest lesson here, NEVER BUY A GAME WITHOUT A REVIEW, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU TRUST THE DEVELOPERS. DO NOT BUY A GAME WITHOUT A REVIEW

Meh, reviews aren't really reliable either, often don't even mention any of the issues and too many times have i seen reviews that were ill informed.

I actualy think GB was changed so it suits not so advanced players . In beta i had problems with GB , i just didnt practice enough and my response was slower than it should be . But now that change has been made you literaly cant hit the button right away but a 0,5s-1s (not sure about the exact timing) after you see the icon so this gives ppl more time to counter it . But i also noticed changes to orochi when i first started the game and went to play with bots. At first i thought that orochi was nerfed and he was slowed down a bit , mostly on dodges and top light attk as mentioned in earlier reply. This could be also because of my incompetance but after storm rush players can now block my double top light attk , maybe i just click way too slow after it cuz sometimes it lands sometimes they block it . When it comes to parrys , deflects and blocking . I improved . It might be just me practicing it a little bit more but compared to open beta i do it a lot more frequently. But so does many more players . In open beta ive had lke 25h of gametime and ive only got 3-4 players who could parry pretty well others didnt even think about it but now that i got to prestige 1 almost each and everyone does it

A company like Ubisoft should actually know, how to make patchnotes. This is just horrible. You just can't implement huge changes after an open beta, where people should be able to playtest your game and later know if they want to buy it. It is also bad that you don't respond to anything, after you screwed up a game so hard. And srsly Ubisoft, even new companies can write better patchnotes... there is kinda no information in yours.

I would give this game back asap and i won't buy any other title from Ubisoft, no matter what. Shame on you.

I havent been able to play yet, but if all you are saying is true... f*ck me... again I got robbed by ubi....

None of the top players I watch have really noted anything being different except one of them possibly thinking the guard break tech window might be slightly different.
And there aren't any wide sweeping changes in the patch notes they've showed us either. Also considering the forums are a very small portion of the active community as a whole i'm going to lean on the fact that this isn't an actual problem. and people are simply blaming their losses/short comings on the game.

Might sound rude or short sighted of me. But i've yet to see anyone put forth any significant hard evidence to prove any of these claims true. So there is no logic in me giving these claims more validity over what i've currently seen/heard from people who actually know the game a great deal.
