There's some autistic forum that they want you to use so they made us sign an NDA this time or some shit
Fucking autistic
It's annoying having friends on Ps4 who want codes when you're PC. You'd think they'd have gotten around that issue by now.
I'm just still bumping around for a key. Looks hella dope though. Who are you guy's going to main?
>>162662527
Lawbringer looks hella fun.tfw no key and lv3 account
It's PC only this time, and under NDA. They seem to be implying it's the last tech test for an actual beta starts.
>>162662762
screenshot your uplay name and my (you) and ill send you one fellow knightbro
>>162663247
>>162662527
Not the same guy, but here's mine if generous. Not gonna take the homie's code though.
>>162662793
ubifag from 2 days ago said it was already complete, so im guessing its not really a beta, just a network test
>>162663367
sorry bruv, only got one left, I sent an invite to a dude that was outside of the testing region so im getting that invite back in 48h, if you're still not in by then, ill save it for you
>>162663441
Add me and i'll let ya know if somebody pops me an invite so yours isn't wasted. Maybe we can get a few rounds in if everything works out.
>>162663247
Thanks bro.
ARE YOU FUCKING READY
Where are you fags, I remember your crests, lets see who's back

>>162666213
Ubisoft didn't encrypt the game files, these are the tutorial videos
Keyboard+mouse or Pad?
>>162667170

Anyone got a loose invite i could get? uplay: DarkagesGG

Bumping and also begging
Anyone have a spare key for a guy who never interferes with his teammates fight in a 2v2?
>>162658191
bit early desu, doubt we'll survive the night unless we have a dedicated shitposter
>>162665036
I never bothered to customize a crest. Probably will this time around. How in depth can you get?

PIRATE DLC WHEN
Ready to fuck shit up again as Berserker
bitches don't know about my reactionary footsies-based playstyle
>>162702464
Would you have a spare code by any chance? I play Warden using reach and footsies as well.
>>162703401
Sorry, already gave them to some friends
Hope you make it in though
Reminder not to fight against parry classes near ledges
just don't do it
Does anybody have a spare code?
>pic related is my uplay
SOON
O
O
N
>>162704219
Don't fight near ledges at all. Usually in PvP, players will take the time to move the fight away from all the cute holes in the ground they lovingly place all over.
2 hours
C-code please...
>>162721293
Sent!
Did you need to register again if you were in the previous beta?
>>162723139
No, it stays registered.
>>162723359
Guess I'm just unlucky then.
not too proud to beg
Shouldnt the beta be live now or am I off with the time zones.
>>162725457
25minutes
What's with these watermarks all over my screen?
>>162727769
For NDA purposes. if you try to upload a pic or video anywhere they can find your account
did they add any of the other classes or new maps or anything since the first test?
I have this preloaded but I won't get home to check it out for like 6 hours
Anyone else playing right now? Im loving valkyrie so far.
>>162729942
I think all the maps, or a lot of new ones at least.seen 3 new 1v1. all classes can be unlocked. they take 500 coins each. and if you do both beginning and adv tutorial you get 3500 coins total. so all but 1.
Anyone got a spare friend key?
>>162730028
cool thanks
>>162730067
ID so i can add you ?
Hah, they took away zerker's completely risk-free parries, I can respect that
>start loading into main menu
>audio still extremely staticy
oh boy bet the tutorial videos wont work either
The game's great but they SERIOUSLY need to lower the amount of shit in the HUD

>not only staticy but also cuts out very frequently
>>162730640

Are the female viking warriors in the game?
Anyone still got a key left they'd be willing to share?
>>162731289
You can choose the sex of any of the classes.
>excited to see how the peace keeper will play.
>expecting a light version of the warden
>quicker but still resonable
>mfw it's fucking assassin's creed dual wielding bullshit
>>162732020
not valkyrie/peace keeper/nobushi
Is the Multiplayer actually up yet?
Oh my fuck nobushi is exactly what I need, Vega with poison
How the fuck did they manage to make orochi even more OP, playing elimination and the fucker just pulls out a bow and half my health is gone
>>162732682
all of the feats are pretty op. warden has a fuck huge bomb.
it's why I only play duel or brawl where feats don't exist.
also orochi ALWAYS had the bow
WATERMARK EDITION
>>162732914
show me your watermark senpai
>game tells me to move forward and press A for a leaping attack
>my character does a roll

>>162733316
you need to be locked on you pathetic ingrate
>>162732865
Yeah but at the start of the round
>>162733751
odd
>>162733736
no shit
>>162733992
you also need to press forward+A and then attack. That's the leap attack you utter piece of shit
god i can't wait to get home and stomp noob shits like you into the ground over and over
>>162734041
somebody sounds pretty autistic
So who do I play if I want to fuck shit up?
>>162734606
orochi like everyone else
Why can't I get Rushing Slash to work as the Warden? It just keeps doing the regular heavy attack. I've tried it both locked and unlocked.
Am I reading the input sequence wrong somehow?
Sorry for the retarded question.
>>162734696
seeing how there are new classes and orochi was never very good, there's probably a different flavor of the month this alpha
>>162734823
you need to be sprinting for it to work. you sprint for a bit then do heavy attack and there you go
>>162734930
Oh, okay, thanks. The input guide just made it sound like you click the left sick and heavy attack and it'll work whenever.
Now all I need to do is learn to reliably do shoulder bashes without rolling, but I'm pretty sure that's just a matter of getting good and not fucking up input timing.
>>162735042
you can chain shoulder bash after any dodge or light attack.
to do the "noob combo" as the warden, do "light attack,shoulder bash, double light attack,shoulder bash" and repeat forever till target dead.
you'll win against new players easily
>>162734832
>orochi was never very good,
>>162735143
Cool, thanks.
What's the general way to counter shoulder bash spam, just evading backwards and punishing?
>>162735245
Orochi was the most played because muh edgy ninja but had a sub 50% winrate in the last alpha. The highest winrate belonged to the Raider.
>playing 1v1 duels
>that huge bridge map
>everyone immediately goes for the guardbreak to throw you off the one inch wide bridge
>always counter it and throw them off
Lawbringer is fun
>the meta is still to run around in large packs
the samurai do this a lot, too bad they suck shit and a 4v2 can't even win lmao
That javelin throw from valk got me good.
>>162735414
don't dodge backwards.
either dodge sideways or just attack since the shoulder bash is not uninterruptible.
>>162664881
>>162664680
dead on arrival
>>162736658
>large packs
>playing dominion
>not only playing duel or brawl
shitter
>>162736902
That's all I've played. Played 2 Dominion rounds, but every time I play now I just get kicked off because of an error.
Back off, fag
>everyone in duel is playing orochi
Some things never change
Where my Shugoki bros at
>>162736971
>but every time I play now I just get kicked off because of an error.
Matchmaking error, the hell is going on, everythime I have to quit game and launch again.
Also is EU dead?
>>162737767
The tanks suck ass
deflects are very inconsistent now that you have to use dodge instead of just "parrying" with block
>>162738198
you do? that's amazing
>>162738240
yeah no more orochi campfests at the moment, could be just that i'm fucking up
>warlord looks fucking awesome
>tutorial videos make him look good
>suck ass when I try him
>can't ever land the light counter
>short range as fuck moves
>only time I do damage is if I trade with my uninterruptible heavies
;_;
>>162738519
play him for two days and suddenly you make it work.
practice makes perfect bro
>>162738542
you're right anon
I'm gonna be the best warlord I can be
>>162738668
I....i'm proud of you Warlord-anon
go out an conquer
How do I Lawbringer
>>162738975
right click
watch both of his tutorial videos
>>162731015
>settings
>UI
>Set everything to off/minimal
So uh.. is Orochi still an annoying cunt?
How do I Shugoki?
>>162740295
>heavy attack
>heavy attack
Im guessing ill perform better with a controller?
>>162741175
kb&m work well if you're used to them
>>162741256
I am used to them but I dunno it just feels kinda werid I was playing Shugoki and Warden and barely got combos off
Loving valkyrie so far, i feel kind of bad that out of the 10+ duels ive played so far, i only lost to an ai bot. they are aggressive as fuck and read inputs.
>play in last test with kb+m
>dominate with 90%+ win rate
>everyone saying controller is better so I buy a good one for this test
>lose every match
>barely able to block lights
>switch back to mouse and win
Guess it just depends on what you're used. Only problem is I can't play deflect classes with a mouse
>>162735510
orochi in last alpha had a broken backstep+counter meta that took no skill
all you had to do was get in a few hits and then just lame it out till the opponent got frustrated and fed your counters
peacerkeeper is pretty underwhelming bleed is pretty meh
>>162742520
>actually playing that shit class
>>162664680
>>162664881
>>162666105
are these just demo vids or are more classes playable this alpha?
>>162742607
All classes available
This lvl 3 valkyrie bot is giving me fucking AIDS.
>Elimination is nothing but roving gangs of 4 while your team bumbles around and doesn't listen to you asking for help
>your team never revives
>the enemy team blocks your unblockables somehow
>Valkyrie is just spam shield charge the class
speaking as a guy who played the previous beta.
the new heroes they all seem pretty good, shugoki seems a little strong, but idk,
the balance seems better overall counters seem harder to pull off which makes the heavy heroes feel a bit better, the new 4v4 mode is a bit shit though, at least the skirmish one given that it just ends up being spawn camp the enemy and stomp
the bots seem better, though it may be more that they're input reading rather than playing smart
Is anyone else annoyed about the names of the viking classes? The weebs got weebspeak for their character names, why can't the vikings have nordic sounding names? Einherjar would be better than warlord.
>>162742692
>Charge forward alone spam for help
>Die so far forward they can't revive you
>You don't know your own moves
>Doesn't know how to dodge left or right
>>162742667
Was playing a warden bot earlier and was getting pretty wrecked. they are aggressive and read inputs. its like playing street fighter on hardest difficulty.
>>162742897
>counters seem harder to pull off
noticed this as well, you really need to time them now. in the previous test if you just used a light UP attack against someone doing a UP attack against a warden it would counter them 100%, now you need to wait till the last second
deflects are easier though, I pull them off all the time and they were giving me serious trouble in the alpha
>>162742912
Too busy smacking people with a flail to care about names to be honest.
This is probably the most fun I've ever had in multiplayer.
>>162742667
the bots are a lot more dangerous this time around which will be fine when you get used to it since the last time round they were sorta easy.
I guess it's to make up for losing a player
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkZkekS8NQU
reminder that you should all be looping this while purging the weebs and savages
So warlords light attack can parry other light attacks but not heavies and only if timed properly
Ended up falling asleep so I'm not sure if anybody tried to contact me. I have a choice between Fallout 4+Season Pass, Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition or anything else of your choice I'm willing to swap for a code.
http://steamcommunity.com/id/stuka2209/
>>162743482
Correct.
Also he's fucking OP as fuck man this is fun.
when does the beta go until? Also, anyone on xbox have a code? I need to throw weebs of cliffs again.
>>162744432
its PC only bruv, ill throw some for you
>>162743108
>die so far forward they can't revive you
not true, they literally walk over my body
>you don't know your own moves
I do, it's an unblockable. The huge orange glow after a light heavy heavy on a fucking Lawbringer is unblockable.
I do dodge but they lag into me
>>162743482
>>162744212
holy fuck you can even do it to heavies
this character is going to be first on the nerf list if people abuse him
he's the new noob killer, good thing he's not a weeb character so maybe he wont be used as often
>>162744886
unblockable doesnt mean undeflectable, when you get the timing down unblockables dont mean shit anymore
>>162744991
He can only counter overheads iirc, unless they changed it
>>162745121
Warlord, not Warden.
New viking character, Sword and Shield.
Do you guys think that ubisoft are going to update this with new factions? I'd be really hype to see Roman legions or mongols. Not sure how they'd make bows and horses work though.
>>162742449
And cancellable, confirmable whiff punishes into 50%
>>162746365
We will most likely get an African faction next.
Will they ban me for sharing an account?
>>162746724
only if you tell them
>>162746561
Hmmm...
Deus Vulting on zulus doesn't sound half bad.
>>162746561
I'd expect mongols more likely
>>162746365
perhaps the biggest requirement for inclusion would be at least 4 weapon styles to translate to classes so maybe;
mayan/aztec
rome, though you'd have to include the gladiators in order to fill it out
some sort of pan-african faction
polynesian warriors
native americans, though I don't quite know if there's enough versatility there
india has a fair amount of weapon versatility
mongols
chinese
any others?
>>162746998
We already have a west, north, and east faction. We need a south.
>>162746561
Pirate meme please
>>162744991
bls whats the timing? late as possible like with parry?
>>162747445
yes it's like a parry
>>162747382
Viking vs pirates vs knights is coming back then if we get pirates
>>162747490

?? no
>>162748459
Xbox pad here, I have no idea what are you talking about m8.
>can't figure out how to do that running sideslash with Warden for the life of me
I tried sprinting into a heavy attack but it just does the regular heavy attack.
>>162748702
try the zone attack
>>162749427
The what.
It just says "press Lstick and Heavy Attack" but I can't get it to work under any conditions.
I swear it can't possibly be that complex, I must be missing something painfully obvious.
How do I remap buttons for the controller?

>>162748601
>>162748675

nvm...
>>162749932
>record the shit
Anon that's illegal!
>>162749781
Actually lag is basically king crimson
>>162750040
If it undid stuff/reversed time it's more like Killer Queen - Bite The Dust. King Crimson would be closer to that thing you get in games like Dark Souls where your opponent lags and you suddenly take a dozen attacks in one split second.
>>162750120
FUCK OFF ITS ZA WARUDO
