Devs testing a nerf of the parry | Forums

[Manlorey]

My peaceckeeper (rep 5) and berserker (rep 1) disagree with this statement. I've dodged sweep with both of them.

Yes, it is doable, but the bug may still occur if the second hit connects, I think. There was a topic regarding that on the forum.

I've been hit with both lights and still dodged so honestly not sure of this bug.

Poor kensei. If they will remove a guaranteed gb of a parry, he will lose another opportunity to deal damage and go for mix. Duh.

The turtle meta is alive and well on the xbone. At least at the higher tiers of play.

No it's not - except for a couple of Warlords that nearly seem to use their shield as OP headgear, i have yet to see a single player on XBOX ONE who turtles out for most of the match.

XBOX players are by far the most offensive ones, compared to the other two platforms, be it foor good or bad.

The bug is when you try to switch your guard to block the second light after eating the first. The attack comes out so quickly your guard switch is actually buffered. so it doesn't happen till afterthe second light hits. and because the guard switch is playing after the hit you can't dodge the sweep. if you just straight up eat both lights and don't try switching guard till after that you can dodge valks sweep every time.

this only happens on console do to our 30 fps.

I'm ok with dodge being nerfed.... I guess.

but as a compromise I would like the window for deflect increased slightly so my 30fps and mid-thirtys reaction times aren't so much of a factor in my spammy dodging.

He means after you run an assassin out of stamina they then back dodge away so you can't punish them. It's part of the reason they can just attack spam like scrubs.

Can other classes not back dodge or is their dodge somehow different? I only use one character so I'm genuinely ignorant of the answer. How dp assassins benefit from this differently then others?

[Felis_Menari]

Even thought about, I don't know, block in the direction they dodge? People crying for nerfs over simple game mechanics is what's getting really ridiculous here.

Care to explain what blocking has to do with dealing with OoS assassin dodge spam? I don't know about you, but I don't tend to see exhausted assassins attacking while spam dodging...ever.

oh you poor children you are going into terrible path that has no point of return.

Good job destroying everything in this game! learn how to play please.. Trophy generation at work..
