What's wrong with blocking | Forums

[Forhorror]

Hello,

So I'm having a little issue with the blocking system in the game. People kept hitting me even though I change my guard to their attacks. So I decided to capture my gameplay to see what I'm doing wrong. From the footage that I captured, I saw that 30% of the enemy attacks straight up go through my blocks. Those are heavy attacks, not unblockable and they hit me through my Valkyre's shield for full damage. My character even starts the animation to block the attack, but the attack goes through.

My ping is green and so is my enemies. Any idea what might be causing this issue?

same but it only happen againt berserk and nobushi. also with some peacekeeper

I think due to the games nature of being peer to peer host advantage exists, so things like that happen. The game is in need of dedicated servers.

Perhaps you could post the capture. It's sometimes hard to recreate what you speak of. I play Kensei and run into blocking issue simply because I moved the stick that direction by not fast enough. Also, if you happen to be attempting a parry at the moment you are moving for the block, you void your block.

Block does not feel a little sluggish to how it used to be, it almost feels like there is more recovery frames after blocking or being hit, not letting you change guard quick enough for fast attackers

Here's an example:

I doubt it's a delay issue, since the block stance stayed for quite a while.

Edit: Now that I see it, perhaps the damage from the block killed me. It's a bad example, I'll try to find something better.

Definitely block damage but i have noticed blocking does feel sluggish and a bit off compared to the beta but not with all characters.

I think it is intended, i am playing warden, and on my chest piece there is a stat know as " block damage " i've reasearched a lot theese last three days, and apparantly, it does not reduce the damage I take, but it does increase the damage i do to ennemy who block me, cause u always take damage even when u block.

Coupled, with my maxed out epic sword full damage, yeah, even with block, new player still take one bar of life out, even if they block.

Not all heroes move their blocking side at the same speed.


For instance Orochi blocks faster than Shugoki.

Those dont matter in duel/brawl modes.
