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

For me the game is feeling fine.

I dunno why but most of the people posting the game is dying sound more like prophets of the apocalypse than people that play the game in a regular fashion.

Then I envy you, I literally cant play because I dont know WHAT caused that loss/win which is essential for to continue. I cant imprive If I dont know what I did wrong, now It can be anything lag, timing ****up (most likely lag watch the netcode vid), game not responding to my input OR maybe I was just bad. I cant imprive unless I know which of these was the reason I didnt block that attack.
Now its just a mix of frustration.
I honestly envy you if ALL your inputs get registered immediately, you can actively parry and GB not because you anticipate it but you ''reflex'' it, for me ''reflexing'' it is impossible

Is there any official confirmation that the window for counter guard brakes have been changed? I played against an orochi yesterday who only did 2 quick attackes and quard break spam. I know what he does, I knew it was coming, but I never maneged to counter the guard break once, to the point I started wondering if the mechanic even works. You would think I should hit it at least once by luck with so many tries, but nope, did not happen.

I'm not any good, but with a spam this obvious, me understanding what I'm doing, and while I wait for the guard break, it felt way to hard to actually hit the window to counter. The mechanic seems broken somehow.

yes the mechanic is broken...but in the other way. if you did understand how to counter guard break than you will be able to coutner 100% of the guradbreaks even if they get you by surprise. i tell you why: in the open beta you have to press guard break exactly at the time where the other starts his guard break with a window of maybe 0,5 secounds?!? so if your reflexes are fine, you had to press the guard break key at the time when you see the red shild symbol that the enemy is doing a guard break.

now in the realised version they changed the timing. now you dont have to press the guard break key in the time where the red shild appears but you have to press it when he is touching you (maybe 0,5 secounds after the shild symbol appears´) what is funny is, if you press the guard break button to early your counter will fail so you have to wait a little bit before you press it. But because of the new mechanic you have more time to react until you have to press the guard break key to counter it, so the counter will become rly easy when you get the rhytm of pressing the guard break button in the right time. To train it i would recommend that you play a few custom games against a lvl 2 peacekeeper because she cant make unblockable attacks and will guard break very often so it is a good training. just stand on a position, block their attacks and counter guard break her guard breaks. after a few while of training you will realise how easy it is to counter guard break in this version of the game

I will try it out.

Even if it is not working for me, you are the forum user of the day. At least one person is trying to help.

Thank you, I will definitely try it out! I did try to hit the button when I see the shield so I quess that was my problem. But hey, it seemed logical...

Found a bug in the process.

Even with the "no damage"-mode selected, bleed dmg still applies.

I am so unlucky, that I even get stabbed2death in a game without damage. I feel like Charlie Brown.

Its War of the vikings all over again. If they dont fix the responsiveness, the game will soon be a desertplace.

I can answer what changed. The people who wanted to screw around and troll and just randomly mash buttons while the game was free to try in CBT / OBT are no longer there. People who remain now are people who actually want to get good and learn how to play their characters properly.

:P people who play now mostly actually know how to use their heroes and spent at least 30 mins staring at move set and going like- ohh okay cool this is cool i can use this to my advantage

Explain to me how then was I able to dmg a guy with a TOp attack FOUR TIMES when he had A top guard?
How was I able to guard break somebody who was mid attack?
How wat the enemy able to attack me 5 times (not berserker) through my guard with light attack?
Why was I disconected 5 times during span of 1 hour>
