Blocking slower than in beta? | Forums

[SE-7_ENsven]

Iv noticed that the block frames and animations are slower and its really bummed me out. the fights feel slow as concrete now. Anyone else noticing the same thing? I feel like the beta kinda promised one thing, but delivered somthing different.

I've noticed it too. Or trying to counter guard breaks is working oddly and differently than in the BETAs.

Beta was more fun thats for sure lol

Glad I'm not the only one noticing. Everything feels so damn clunky. Like I've never played before. A fking light attack spamming Kensei who doesn't know what hes doing, actually hits me, ffs. Thanks P2P connection, what a good idea for a reactionary game.

I felt like the game, over all, felt much slower than the open beta did, based off of the few hours I've played since launch.

It seems the blocking animations were slowed for most of the classes, a good portion of the attack animations were sped up (especially for the Kensei and Orochi), both of these changes making it much more difficult to block/parry attacks in general.

It's something I was hoping that was just going to be me, but it seems like other people are noticing it as well. I was also hoping I'd just adjust to it but it is such a different feel that I'm starting to think the beta was more finely tuned than the full game.

Oh well. Hopefully the devs will balance this stuff quickly and fix the P2P issues.

Well im glad yet saddened im not the only one. I hope the devs are listening!!!

Bump. Got the same delays on everything. Combo's wont work cause the animations are delayed cause p2p, blocking is delayed cause p2p. ****ing everything is delayed.

I dont think it has anything to do with the p2p. the beta was not like this! And i bought it because the beta had such fast paced combat. Why did they even change it in the first place!?

yep, the whole game feels much slower, idk why but it was the first thing I noticed yesterday.
me and my friends where like, "why is everything so slow compared to the beta"

As i suggested in another feedback thread, a lot fo this is probably a latency/lag issue. I know on occasion I block in a direction and a regular attack goes right through it due to laggy inputs.
