Possible bugs with Conq | Forums

[Halvtand]

Two things. So far I have only played the event, which is awesome. But when I faced a conqueror I noticed that sometimes when he does a heavy attack it is accompanied by the unblockable symbol (The same one that appears when he does a shield bash). No flames though and the hit can be blocked just fine.

The second might require some work. Playing conq myself, I was fighting Kensei and got my *** handed to me. At my last few HPs I went super defensive, knowing that my heal on block-feat would keep me alive if I only could keep blocking for a while. Kensei launched a light, I blocked it and died. This can be seen as both a bug (you're not supposed to die from blocked hits) and perhaps a needed tweak of the feat (blocked light does more dmg through block than feat gives).

That it all, thank you.

Intresting to hear about the 1st bug however the second might come down to two things I believe.

1: Did the kensei use the perk that makes all his attacks unblockable? (Pretty unfair buff perk Imo)

or/most likely

2: His weapon block damage was high enough to have killed you with the chip before you got the heal(Note block damage applies before block heal)

As always video's nice to see as well.

The first one sounds odd and it might help to have a video showcasing it happen for additional context. I'd be more than happy to let the team know about it though.

As for the second, my first thought is that it could have been lag between when he went for the hit and you input to block in that direction. Because it's hard to tell without seeing it happen myself, try playing a few more matches to see if the problem reoccurs in any other fights.

was the heavy a charged heavy? if so, the charged heavies are unblockable now. on the second, if the kensei's overall damage (base + defense penetration) are higher than what you get back from heal-on-block, the chip damage will be enough to kill you. iirc.....

If the attack was (supposed to be) unblockable then none of the associated effects were triggered. Also I don't believe that I would've been able to block the attack if that was the case. As for your second point, as far as I know blocked hits aren't supposed to kill you, this was a bug a while back when some people with high penetration was able to do this if they were in revenge. As far as i know that bug was fixed. This is why I found the whole event a bit strange.

i understand. i will play more of the event after work and will try to capture whenever i face the conq. The issue with Kensei may prove tough though as I feel that this may be a once-in-a-million kind of deal. I would not say that lag played a big part in the event with Kensei. It was in the event playlist with a limited number of other players and Kensei was a bot. On my screen the block was registered and the healing green effect was triggered as my conq fell like a sack of potatoes. I'll post a vid here if I can get it going.

About conq. That is exactly why I found it strange. Sometimes this would happen on the heavy following a SB, sometimes raw. There was no time to charge. I tried to recreate it myself, messing with different timings for the heavy after SB, but never got the symbol to pop. Will post vid if I can capture it.

About Kensei. You are absolutely right. It's just that as far as I'm aware blocked hits aren't supposed to kill. Having heal on block only makes it twice as strange as I should actually get healed by the block that killed me.

Like the guy in the Den said, some bugs only shows themselves live, I just want to do my part and make this game the best it can be Thank you for your questions and I will get back with whatever proof I can find.

Stone can have unblockable heavies without charge, this is not a bug and only the symbol appears just like sharpened blades it have no visible effect on weapon, it's part of the challenge in test your metal. No idea about kensei tho, does lights even have chip damages?

Thank you for the additional info, though I am pretty sure I was able to block the attacks just fine. Also, sharpened blades is the one that makes the blade "glow" purple, right? Lastly, yes, lights have chip damage, but not a lot of it.
