Blocking is broken - PROOF | Forums

there is no proof. To block you have to respect a good timing.

That's parrying. ...

I've seen this a lot with Warlord as well. I'm clearly blocking in the correct direction and I still get hit, in some cases with my block having been there for a full second more. I also often get hit by a 2nd person right after blocking the 1st, when I should have an all-guard active.

Ive noticed less of these problems with conqueror though they still happen.

Maybe its lag, but ive noticed it back in closed beta and in 2 weeks till launch they changed jack ****, not surprising.

Asynchrony.

That's the problem with networks. It simply hurts a lot in this game, because the timing windows are borderlining on the biologically possible.

I must say that the video indeed shows that you are blocking to the right direction yet nothing happens. I have sometimes had this too, although most of the time it just a matter of milisecond timing or just plain old latency

OK I have a SCHOLORSHIP To a Music College for Drumming..... and Let me just say I can play to a metronome in 3/4 or 6/8 BELIEVE ME when I SAY the "TIMING" is JANK and OFF.... in this game.... Not at all like the great Mechanics in RYSE.... So pretty please with sugar on top STFU when you are a troll and have NO CLUE what you are spouting about.

Good show man. I was complaining about this last night, and got the usual trolling from fanboys.
This game has some serious problems. Most likely though, in PVP its the P2P issue. The lag against the other team with the hosting player is always worse. So timing doesn't matter. You have to be a full 10th of a second ahead of his motions. Which makes PVP a guessing game.

The lack of dedicated servers is why this game is going to fail and be gone in a couple months. I'm putting up my review and "feedback" again for the third time in a sec. UBI keeps taking it down because I say I wouldn't recommend the game. Another Nazi tactic by these guys.

Hmm, I noticed this happens to my opponents when I attack them sometimes but I thought it was just the P2P connection that causes it to look like they blocked, but they actually were too late to block which is why they take damage. It could be one of two things: A) a bug when guarding OR B) one of the hidden mechanics we still don't know about in the game.

I am taking this game back its so broken... FOR CASHGRAB....!!! FTL

[TL24SS]

It's so broken that I may also request a refund at this point.... It's nice to know Ubisoft has this section on their forums yet not a single comment from the Mods/Devs.
