Warriors Den (14th April) Warlord vs PK Duel | Forums

[Gray360UK]

The PK got ripped to shreds in that fight, utterly obliterated, embarrassed even. Please, are you kidding me? Petemoo adjusted his playstyle a bit and mauled the PK.

The outcome isn't the point, although 'ripped to shreds' is a bit silly seeing as the Warlord lost the first round and nearly the 3rd.

The point is, the class was being played with a single button press, and that is what the community hate about the PK. That it didn't work on Petemoo, who I assume is very good at the game, is not the issue. That you can win a round and nearly 2 by pressing one button, against Petemoo, is.

I don't have to argue the case for PK light spam being a problem, that's pretty much a given throughout the community.

Excellent use of a Kenshiro gif, Gray.

We did say in today's Warrior's Den that in Title Update 1.06 we will be looking to make a small adjustment to Peacekeeper's light attack. We aren't calling it a nerf, but if light spam remains a problem afterwards, we will look to make further adjustments.

Haha cheers, I like my gifs

I know you guys are looking into it, it's frustrating to see a class being played so badly so often, even in your Twitch streams, but hey ... if it gets attention and gets us looking in the right places then it's all good I guess. I just hope there are some things about the PK that are left un-nerfed on the road to fixing Light Attack Spam, otherwise by the time that gets addressed, there won't be anything else left that works

Except removing her helm and proclaiming Ni.

You made it sound like the PK did very well against the Warlord, which isn't true. The Warlord bested him, 3-1, after an adjustment in play after the first round. A PK "light spammer" is easy pickings for a decent Warlord.
That's all I wanted to address.

I really didn't

I just re-read it to make sure, and all I did was make it very clear that the PK did nothing but press one button / abuse the class. You could assume that meant the PK did well, but I never said anything of the sort. Like I said, it's more how sad it is to watch, how much hate it generates in the community, and how cheap it is, that bothers me.

Also, against many players, it does allow PKs to do very well, that is the sad truth of the matter.

This is why PKs were banned from the MLG Tournament.

Regardless, winning a round by pressing one button is an issue. Even Warden shoulder bash and Warlord Headbutt requires 2 buttons

WThis is a strategy that normally only a heavy class could risk, in your face, toe to toe ... but this is a fragile Assassin class. What allows this fragile Assassin to stand in your face and win rounds? Being able to overwhelm you with light attacks so fast that you can do nothing about it. This totally breaks the playstyle of the class.

I really didn't

That's the bit I thought was a little misleading, that's all chap.
He didn't get rewarded though did he for his one button mash special?
They were playing on pc though, don't really know if the higher frame rates give you more time to react or not, kind of confused about that myself.

If you remember correctly it was a sidestep dodge attack that finished the warlord in the first round anyway.

So the warlord won by being what he was meant to be: a COUNTER ATTACKER. Peacekeeper is a counter attacker too, but she's more effective on the offense since her lights are faster than others and i don't blame that guy for doing so because there's no trade in fights, (only warlord and shugoki can actually "trade") you can safely attack only when the opponent is defensless due to a parry or pinned to a wall. Since defense has no penalty whatsoever attacking equals death if the defender can react. Did someone addressed this at all? Or maybe they're happy with the unlock """""TECH""""" and softfeint cancel?

Extheleon? Is that you?

Oh cm on be serious xD(i just stole his catchphrase because i'm an *******). We're trying to make some constructive criticism before what's left of the 3800 pc player base will be gone.

[CrimsonWolf753]

Lol. Hopefully the new characters coming out will bring some players back and by then they'll have sorted out the connectivity issues.
