I've noticed that since the last update, I have been getting massive input lag and in general the game feels really off for me. ive put another 2 reps on my shinobi since the update, and something just feels incredibly off.
---Reflex guard seems like it's extremely inconsistent.
---I've noticed I've been getting heavily locked into a "stunlock" animation by everything. For instance, fighting a centurion after getting punched by him, I see all the lights coming in, and it feels like I'm holding my guard in the direction of the attack but it's just not coming up like I'm constantly stunned or my input just isn't registering for like a second or so. I've played orochi too and it doesn't feel as bad on him. I don't know if this is some side effect of removing timesnap, but honestly the game feels dreadful, I may aswell be just be button mashing at this point.
---I can't seem to ever counter a GB where I could CGB all day long before.
---All light attacks for pretty much every class feel completely unreactable, even orochis side lights. I'm getting the red hit indicator pretty much show as I'm getting hit, and other times it shows up fine.
---parry & deflect windows seem off.
If I had to guess, it's like they added a half a second of extra "stun" effect to every attack I'm taking.
---Playing against the highlander, I've noticed if he hits me with one heavy, he gets a guaranteed second heavy, as I'm still fully in stunlock animation for that long where none of my inputs are registering.
I don't know if all of this is due to timesnap removal or what, but nothing in the game feels either consistent, or half the time reactable anymore, wish I could try two versions of the game back to back, with and without timesnap and see if that's the problem or if it's something else.
Anyone experienceing the same?
Also, on PS4 pro, there is something really off with the controller too (which doesn't happen on regular PS4). If you press up on the "top guard" three or four times really quickly with Shinobi, you'll notice the guard keeps refreshing and deteriorating multiple times after you have stopped inputting controls, like the game is running 3 seconds slow, happens with other attacks like heavies and GB too, I think it's a bug.

I play on PS4 Pro too... (Shinobi main rep 12.)
I agree with all of your comments fully. The same feels very stick for me at the moment. May have a play around with the boost mode to see if that makes a difference.
Been having real issues against Valk and PK light attacks. Before the update I could parry them all day long now I am struggling to block.

Also add that deflects are inconsistent and I have been having very poor FPS. I have also been experiencing an issue where time in game will glitch backward probably by around 200 ms.
EDIT: Tried turning boost mode on and the issues are even more pronounced.
Talked to my son as he plays too. He is on a standard PS4 but is experiencing similar issues. He has not played any assassin characters since the update but gets similar issues intermittently with non reflex guard toons.
I tried a few matches on my Nobushi (rep 10) and the issue seems less severe without the reflex guard. I tried a few bot duels against a PK on my Gladiator as another test.... boarding on unplayable in my opinion even simple blocking is so inconsistent.

I'm glad you brought this up. Last couple of days I've been playing a lot and I must say I experienced some of the things U mentioned. Playing as the conqueror I got 3 lights in the side and was holding the stick in that direction but nothing got blocked. (like the stun effect U discribe) I also had an instance where I did a top heavy hit on a shugoku and it did nothing (like hitting a ghost).Originally Posted by SerArthur-Dayne Go to original post
It's the first hit in the clip
About the controller I had a weird experience when changing left to right my guard instantly popped back to left.
I also want to know if minions interrupt your guard. (I can't remember prior to 1. 11)
Maby it's lag maby not did the extra maintenance fix it I don't know. I'm played on ps4 pro 1080p mode boost mode on.
Ill keep an eye out on the topic and post my future findings. (ill disable boost mode for now and see if that did anything)
Added:
With conqueror after I execute someone lock on turns off automaticly (as stated in the options) so I'm in free look but sometimes he enters full guard stance when I press down right stick so I gues thats input lag for sure.
This just happend. Conqueror shield is doing some weird fast swings and tries to block something that's not there in the end of the clip.
I have tried to reproduce it by changing guard as fast as I could becuase I thought it had something to do with the deadzone but I just could not get it to change that fast. Is it the gladiator that is buggy? (I've seen him float above ground legs still when moving together with a bunch of soldiers sadly I don't have a clip of that)
*UPDATE* now I do
also highlander riding his claymore under the bridge
This one is also playing the conqueror: It's the Centurion heavy attack that got my attention (starting at 0.21) no block hit no block sound and he didn't get interrupted.

I have the same experience on xbox aswell. The group thing has been there since release for me. My son and I are always trying to team up. Yet we rarely get to. So we go to BF4 or something else. We use gaming to bond and have father son time. But we hardly can do it in this game. It sucks because we enjoy this game so much.Originally Posted by vgrimr_J Go to original post

I've also been experiencing this. I actually mentioned it in another thread somewhere.
I've been stunlocked by normal attacks that never should be able to do so. I was side-light spammed to death by a warlord and I couldn't block it despite knowing that he was only attacking from that side.
Something's up.
