What happened to guard switching? | Forums

I am a peacekeeper main, was away for a while. Came back and I find that I can't switch guards fast enough like I used to. Did something happened? BTW I am on ps4.

You may be fighting against what used to be the slower classes. They used to switch their guards at a slower speed. That has been changed and all classes switch at the same speed now. That's the only difference I can think of, PK hasn't changed, but it may look like she has when you see that you can't change faster than some of the other heroes anymore.

I'm on ps4 also and I find that sometimes there is a delay when switch guards quickly with pk mainly, could be input lag I don't really know but seems like she locks up sometimes

I play on xbox one and they have added a "guard dead zone" I think it was called in the options page, it is automatically put to 20 but mine is on 8 and I feel like I can block faster (I am a conq main so I need that fast block action.

Hope this helps

That could be the problem also, I haven't messed with that yet thanks

[jeifylicious]

I did see that but I didn't know what it was. So i didn't mess with it. Thank you for your input

Yes!! that's exactly what I am talking about.

I thought it was just me might be something they need to look into, I swear it's like she locks and stands still when I'm switching attack directions or blocking different directions quickly. Could be like back in the halo days when you could glitch your guy by overloading him with inputs making his animation get frozen

Adjusting the slider will help. But thats about it. Guard Change has been buggy since the beginning. About all you can do is adjust it for a better read and then just "deal with it".

We equalized guard switch speeds back in 1.08.01 - patch notes here - so that may be what you're experiencing.
