PSA: Peacekeepers Zone Attack Indicator Glitch | Forums

[ArlianDeBias]

When a Peacekeeper uses their zone attack, consider the fact that s/he may simply be using their zone attack, not trying to maliciously cheat against you.

I've been accused of cheating 3 times out of the 2 hours of play time I've had today simply because I was using my zone attack. I use it occasionally when playing 1v1, or repeatedly to get out of dicey 4v1 situations in Dominion.

As far as I'm aware, the glitch happens when you switch your guard right before you zone attack, which shows an attack coming from the opposite direction to the enemy. The issue is that I'm constantly changing my guard very fast so I can try and hit the enemy before they have time to react, so this glitch may unintendedly happen when I use my zone attack. Does this make me a terrible cheater who's abusing glitches to get ahead of everyone else? No. It simply means there is a glitch that Ubisoft needs to take a look at and patch. I can't prevent this glitch from happening myself.

To reiterate, please stop accusing every Peacekeeper who uses a zone attack of cheating. I think you'll find the vast majority just want to play the game fairly and throwing baseless accusations around just makes everyone feel bad.

this happens to orochi and warden's ZA too
and even to conq's charged heavy attack. if you quickly change your direction when releasing heavy attack button, your opposite will see your attack direction changes twice before hitting

It can happen on any ZA but really only matters with the faster ones

All zone attacks do it. Reason why is to use a zone attack you gota use the light+heavy attack and at same time. The zone attack has a alot forgiveness in the timing but what it ends up doing is it uses the light attack but then after a sec it's like oh your using a zone attack so it cancels the light attack into a zone.

This is not a chat, it's a kara-cancel. I do this all the time in other fighting games. Hell soul calibur even made a mechanic called slide inputs that operate the same way.
The people I see complaining about this are turtles who don't like getting hit from the side they aren't guarding.

No. Its a known bug.

You shouldnt be using a broken mechanic to your advantage. Dont lie you knew.

Its a ZONE ATTACK.. Why would you be using a focusless MASSIVE stam drain ability if it didnt provide some advantage?

There are 4 classes that abuse this to no end. I will not sit idly by while people use a bugged ability in a manner it isnt intended to be used and call it fair play.

We may as well start with 70% life vs PK orochi warden and WL..

Nuff said..

play those classes all you want. just DONT USE THE ZONE or feel the burn. No other classes in the game get free dmg from an ability meant to fight multiple NPCs or players.

Its well known now. STOP

Lol, if every hero has the ability to do something, it doesn't sound like a bug it glitch, it sounds more like an intended mechanic.

It's not a intended if it was you wouldn't be able to do it by accident

So you are telling me you've never played a fighting game and done a move on accident? Lol try again noob

Also for the sake of the argument, have the devs weighed in on this? Player opinions are only with face value at best. I'd like classification from a professional, personally. I'll have no issues if they see it as flawed, but until I hear from someone with actual experience behind the development, everything else is negligible.
