I don't know what has happened between Beta and Launch, but it seems that every time I try to play as a Peacekeeper (and I'm Rep-5 as PK, so I know what I'm doing), essential functions just DON'T WORK!
Now I've known that her triple stab bleed attack for a while has not worked, but now it seems that her "Slipping Lunge" grapple ability is unresponsive and unreliable, even against targets that are unprepared for her to use and fail to pre-empt her.
It's cost me many games where a clutch win could have been pulled by using environment kills with this ability.
On top of this, I've found her deflect and guard changes to be slower and unresponsive when they really count.
I refuse to believe that I'm the only one who's observing these inconsistencies and frustrating game mechanic failures. Has anyone else observed similar or the same?

I played PK in Alpha, Closed & Open Beta, and of course launch. I'm rep 4 without Champion status.
I can tell you of a certainty that PK was nerfed dramatically since Beta.
Bleeds were nerfed by 50% in my estimates.
Stab, stab, stab was broken on either accident or purpose? I don't know, but it's broken, the first stab does 50% of what it used to do, and the 2nd and 3rd do no damage.
Dodge reaction time was nerfed, dodging is not instant like it used to be, there's a slight delay which makes deflect harder and very dangerous to try.
Dodge+Stab recovery time was nerfed, after a lunge you are vulnerable for a long time before you can even move again.
Stamina was nerfed big time, either attacks cost more stamina or the stamina pool is smaller, all I know is I die all the time after being grab thrown while exhausted after like just a few attacks.
Grab range was nerfed, now it is like the shortest range of any "Guard break" in the game, and with stabs being nerfed and broken, it is a useless skill that just opens us up to being abused.
And yes, blocking was also nerfed, there is now a slight reaction delay in getting your defenses up, or just changing them. It feels very sluggish and has gotten me killed a lot of times, I try to block, but my PK can't react fast enough, I have to anticipate a block and block before I see the red arrow.
The only thing that wasn't nerfed was her light attacks, and now people are screaming for her light attacks to get nerfed because that's all she has left that is worth using besides the zone/cancel. Pretty soon no one will be playing PK at all because of all her handicaps. I honestly hate it when developers nerf kill a class from public outcry and make the class broken and useless. I mean my money is green too, this is the class I want to play and it needs fixed. People I play call me a boring player because I now have to play by sitting back and waiting and waiting for them to throw a heavy so I can dodge/lunge. Everyone knows to block up and right when fighting a PK, so there's not a whole lot we can do anymore in a fight until Ubi fixes PK's (after breaking them)

"There is not a whole lot you can do..." Except know that you can attack up or left with a 15 frame attack that does a disproprtinate amount of damage that 99% of people cannot reliably block.
The ONLY reason people can block these attacks from Orochi, Bersker, and Warden is because they are ALL RESTRICTED in what direction they come from.. blocking 15 frame attacks otherwise is not a reasonable thing to expect almost anyone to do reliably.
PK breaks this by being completing unpredictable and having the all round fastest attacks that seem to have bo penalty to damage.
Add in the insane recovery time, the fact that when her bleed works it is the best bleed in the game, and how she frankly dodges better than the other assassins and she is clearly an OP character just by how she is the best at a ridiculous amount of things that people can't reasonably do much about expect get lucky blocks.
Get that broken garbage out of this game or it will be dead in a month guaranteed.

1)shortest range in the game so naturally will be fast(who woulda thunk) her zone does half a bar wow so OP wtf you smoking? her bleed comes off a GB which where the general skill lvl is rising GLHF pulling it off maybe on a parryOriginally Posted by GLR476 Go to original post
& lol this game wont be dead it will be fine you just suck from what it seems

Lol you expect to block attacks that in reality have 3 or 4 frame windows considering guard change time and P2P Lag?Originally Posted by Nexuss94 Go to original post
Best bleed in the game and frankly the EASIEST bleed to do to; no one else get something that good GUARANTEED after just a simple GB. Yea GB is fundamental and simple and shouldn't have such huge reward and neither should light attack spam. What is the point of skill hen the east garbage is the best? And it is the best just by deifnton of how easy it is do and how much harder it is to counter.
Who cares what your range is? You are getting a range buff that is completely unnecessary; You can lunge forward attack and even if you get parried you can beat any other class but warden or another assassin to the punch with a zone or light attack, limited range is completely irrelevant.
You are just PK abuse #101 defending your broken main so you can feel good enough about yourself to not cry yourself to sleep every night ; congrats on joining the most pathetic club Ubisoft has to offer.
