Not bad for a day 2 general

I don't understand Stagger. Is it just a set 4 stances, not customizable, or will I be able to customize it as I raise my school level? Also, I get how to equip the Stagger deck but how do I equip the special ability? Even if I have the Stagger deck, my special ability is still Parry.

Got my first enemy mask

>how far do you have to move the mouse to get it to parry? Can you adjust the sensitivity for it?
>way too far. i maxed out the sensitivity bar and it didn't seem to change anything. probably gonna relearn the entire game on controller just for parrying. the other mkb controls are fine and i would prefer them if not for the parrying.
This is the only thing preventing me from buying this game. I don't want to wait 2 weeks for a steam controller to ship, and also don't want to spend an extra 30-50 bucks in order to play the game right. If I am able to just flick the mouse to get it to work I might be fine, but if I am dragging it all over my desk I know it won't be fast enough to actually manage.

Stats don't make too much of a difference, but 20 level is probably the line where it actually starts to matter, nice job

how do i deal with quick attack spam?

>>187754476
side dodges, quick attacks usually have low range/arc so you can usually dodge to the side successfully, and then that will change your opponent's stance which will fuck up their combo

>>187754168
>no long, beautiful, flowing hair for male characters

Feel when winning every duel, can't tell if gud or fighting shitters.

are masks dropped at random or do i have to fight specific guys to get new ones?

The straight jab is probably the best attack ever. Nothing like a bop to the face to completely negate an attack.

Also the reason parry is the best pvp stance is because it stops the flow of the match. All other stances don't stop an onslaught outright. It gives you time to breath.

So what are we absolving?

>Theres a zapdos mask
Where the fuck did he get that. I haven't seen a single mob wearing it

>>187755273
i'm in the same boat bud

i'm sure we'll stop playing against shitters eventually

>>187755365
Its also the most difficult against a good deck.

Dodge seemed hard but up/down is pretty easy once you know all your opponents moves. Left right is way harder, especially since some moves look like they're in the middle.

>>187755273
Still Windfall or change to Forsaken?

>>187755508

>>187755680
They'll be able to buy more servers when more people buy their game. I have high hopes right now, I'm just looking to see if I should start with KB+M or if I should spend the money on a controller, then by this game once I'm used to playing with a controller.

>attack can go uninterrupted by one hit
Literally game breaking, how the fuck did they think this was remotely even close to being balanced?

How do you meet up with a friend in this game to duel? do we just have toi find each other or what?

>>187756106
Because there are attacks that double hit, attacks that break charged attacks on a single hit, and not that many charged attacks anyway.

Become proficient.

>>187756106
So that you cant put on wide attacks and combo for ever.

>>187756326
Ah, so this is a game where I'll be playing against someone and I just have to hope that I have one of the extremely specialized moves that will counter them?

Sounds good, not a skill-based game, more like a TCG.

>>187756106
Its a counter to people who mash
Have you tried parrying the attack

>>187756407
Not at all lol

>>187756414
He wouldn't use it at all until I started attacking, at which point I was locked into an animation. I had zero counters available and was completely defenseless, probably due to my deck, but if I have to build my entire deck around the off chance that I encounter someone using one move that's pretty fucking gay.

>if I have to build my entire deck around the off chance that I encounter someone using one move that's pretty fucking gay

Shouldn't you build your deck to not be countered by this one simple trick? You don't need to build the entire thing around it, but you can still build it so you're not going to get countered. Seriously no one to blame but your own dumb ass.

>>187752160
not yet as in it's not possible yet but they announced they're planning to do so
or as in not yet and maybe it will be there someday

build your decks with a variety of moves that all link into each other one way or another.

The best thing to have in this game is variety. Slow+fast attacks, high/low, long reaching and short reaching. Also, any decent player will counter all your shit if your deck is basic

>you can have a 3 hit combo in one stance that repeats on itself forever
>but you can have that same stance do a one-hit or two-hit combo and pause for a sec or dodge and instead it ends on another stance based on that 1st or 2nd move

Goddamn this fucking game, it's like how down the rabbit hole do you want to go thinking about how fucking far you could take the complexity of the fighting mechanics.

>>187757265
>doesn't respect a simple deck

So I'm most of the way through single player and I'm really liking swords.

The more i think about it the more it boggles my mind, but it's also why I sense great potential in it with a very high skill ceiling. What mainly remains to be seen is how much skill is rewarded in the game vs. dumb shit and exploits, and how counterable everything people do is.

>>187757636
go fight some dock wanderers, loser

>>187757563
I'm using a 12 hit combo. All 3 attacks link into each other stances. I can pause the attack to change stance early. Then there's the alternate attacks in which will change everything. Though I use them for power moves.

So fast moves are king in this game, eh? Low damage doesn't matter when you can just spam stunlock people and ez dodge slow af hyper armor moves amirite??

How do you get that cool ass head gear?
Seems like everyone and their ded mum has it.

>>187758676
I guess fast moves.

>>187759037
Easily. All the other shit is a trap.

The best thing to do in this game is have a fast looping combo to stuff people from counterattacking. Doesn't matter if they dodge out or block if the next hit in your chain is faster than the first in theirs.

gonna be visiting this general a lot for the salt over the next week or two at a minimum. love how you guys give no mercy to people complaining lol, i believe "git gud" applies more to this game than to the entire dark souls franchise tbqh

>>187759306
Are you talking the floating eyes mask? It's from a cairn in the essence reserves or imperial quarters, can't recall which.

Mouse wheel to change targets with it being incredibly specific as to "NO THIS TARGET IS UP, THIS ONE IS DOWN, NOW IT MIGHT BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND, UP UP DOWN UP FOR THIS GUY? WHO FUCKING KNOWS" is quite possibly the worst design choice I have ever seen for a game like this.

>>187759328
>>187759037
Have the first hit be fast. Also another reason why forsaken is the best. After the first full combo you should be able to see which way they're coming from and stop him.

>grinding the third marked one
Man, fuck Ama in her Black Mage-looking asshole. I hated that fight more than any other.

>>187759037
fast moves are great until you run into based windniggers who can just stuff your attacks because they have no range

tfw halfway through making my own school. Also, rank 6 stagger in like a couple of wins.

Man fighting good opponents in this game is so much fun, also the stagger deck for swords is so much fun.

Also, when you go back to bosses with cinematics at higher fighting levels (the ones you get from duels) they drop more cool looking gear. Gotta get to level 40 pvp for the arena guy for his third form tho, that's gonna be a grind.

>mfw picked the parry style

>>187761353
You get a deck of it for free when you learn Stagger style, but to actually learn it you either have to parry Jinn a lot or fight stagfags in PvP.

As for your door, you can refight bosses in their arenas after leveling through PvP enough. Might fix your problem, might not. No clue.

>>187760851
It's the same reason a lot of people tried not to estus in souls shit, it's the unspoken agreement of "We both have this, but if we start using it a single fight is gonna take centuries"

>>187761353

Jinn is the best way unless you have a friend willing to train you by hitting you with the attacks you want to learn.

>>187761301
Shock wave doesn't give enough time to make anything other than a jab. Gravity lets you do a guard breaker if you're spaced properly but takes long to cast so you can jab before they use it. I use earthquake on people who like to dodge.

>>187761540
Yeah I know but I wanted to do a Khalt/Stagger hybrid and be a drunken bar brawler and the Stagger exclusive deck kinda sucks dick.

>>187761603
It's the opposite actually.

Using shards speeds up the fight. I'm not going to sit here while you use super safe fast moves and I deal 1/50th of your health bar on an alternative attack because "m-m-muh honor".

Jesus christ I just played someone with a disgusting deck
Two moves
>Stagger spiral punch
Think its drunk crane?
>that dumbass move where you spin your arms twice
The only way I could counter it was to dodge one and poke the other. If I Khalt'd one attack the other would come out to fast for my follow up. If I used hyper armor he would go under it or break through

Seemed to be a deck that was made solely to counter boxing playstyles and christ does it work for that

I have yet to lose to any one in pvp yet. Though I just only hit level 10 in combat trails. Healing does absolutely nothing. If anything it makes the person more fearful allowing me to be more aggressive and 10/10 times so far their healing has maybe healed them 2 jabs of health before I hit them and stop the healing effect.

I've been using earthquake more than heal with my shards. Seems like a better use for them.

But for real, where the FUCK do I go to learn the slap? I haven't even fucking seen it in game.

Is it something dumb like a move only developers get to have until it spreads through the community?

So the only way to learn stagger style moves is to keep fighting Jinn over and over, right? I unlocked the npc and joined the school, but all the moves are locked.

So never? Wear all the armor and pour into VIT, the kahlt life is fun.

>>187766839
The best tips I can give is to either gank or hit once inbetween combos, parry into one hit, and whenever you heal just make sure to unlock and walk away from him, just out of range. They won't regain health if they don't deaggro and you get the full regain.. just really slowly

>>187766583
The windfall ones with the cloaks right before the last boss do read inputs. They perfect dodge everything. Glad I finished learning everything from them.

Goddamn the mouse sensitivity on defensives sucks ass, I turned it all the way up too and I still have to make a pretty significant pull to set it off.

What do you do against people who turn their backs and full on RUN away from you in the arena to recover stamina?

I have encoutnered many players who full on TURN AND RUN when on slow stamina.

>>187767009
>They won't regain health if they don't deaggro and you get the full regain.. just really slowly

Wait what, my heals only ever do like a small chunk whether I'm mid fight or completely out of combat, I'm not noticing any passive regen or anything either.

>>187767626
The heal power gives you a small amount of regen over time, as well as healing you a portion of all damage you do while its active. It just stops the next time you get hit after casting.

It's supposed to be for top offs between fights, with the potential to heal you up mid fight if you're good enough to hit without getting hit.

>>187767626
Healing heals for a tiny burst then will fill out slowly, filling up faster if you land hits

I feel like heavy armor is underrated, I'm *just* above slow mobility (normal, 15) and with Kahlt I can tank a LOT of fucking hits, especially against the quick spammy fags. It's actually pretty disgusting, definitely doing a lot better compared to when I was playing a fast mobility kahlt earlier.

I'm as upset as you senpai, I was saying from the moment i saw this game "i want a bo staff"

When I'm making a deck, should I stick to moves from my own school, or just use whatever the fuck. I see the scaling on the side but how much does that really matter?

Is the crossplay fucked? Can I do combat trials with my GOG buddy? He won't buy 'till I give him the go ahead.

>>187769080
PC plays with PC, it doesn't matter Steam or GOG because GOG would be DOA unless they had some deal to sell it half off or something.

>>187768390
Yeah except if the guy is constantly parrying then all you have to do is feint, or pause.

Parrying is only good when your enemy is constantly swinging like an idiot.

t. forsaken master race

>>187768957
Scaling matters only for damage, which is conveniently listed as well. Use whatever the fuck you want and whatever flows the best.

>>187768716

OP here, I actually don't mind it. Once you realize they're capitalizing on predictable play, you can take advantage of it, like when I'd R1 spam (I mapped attack to R1 and alt attack to R2 btw, I have guard as L1 and manual stance switching on L2 with dodging still on B. Dark souls bros, TAKE NOTICE), he was able to catch me a few times until I caught on that he figured out my combos, so I started putting in pauses (often he'd block 2 and parry the 3rd, so I'd pause after 2 hits then he'd get hit by the 3rd).

I don't even think it's a skill thing, I think it's a risk vs. reward thing. Here, you parry a move and you get one free hit usually (not sure how extreme, I've heard you can land anything but I'm not sure if speed plays a role). In dark souls 3 you get a parry and you straight-up 1-shot people with hornet ring and a chaos-infused dagger. With the ability to chug estus (healing potions basically, for those who don't know, which heal around 1/2 to 1/3rd of your life depending on how much health you have), they have a ton of chances and if they land one, you're fucking dead immediately. If they miss they just eat a normal attack generally.

Much better implementation here, at least. I made that webm mostly because I thought that shit was hilarious, trying to record my fights as I'm starting out (Lvl 30 atm) so I can review them as I try to get better, see why I get my ass kicked or why I win.

>>187769456
You can only land 'light attacks' of a parry. Anything that is medium-slow speed can be dodged

Are you saying that from experience or just saying that because the people selling the game did?

what if its just more 360 shit after into an infinite 360 chain

>>187769561

Good to hear, thank god. Way better than a literal one shot kill most of the time. Love the way they handled healing in this game too compared to estus in DaS3, like you get free regen by just hanging out but you can actually recover a TON if you're skilled enough to get in a bunch of hits without getting hit yourself, it's refreshing and (at least in my experience) unique.

>>187769759
The mechanics aren't unique, just the way they're implemented are. It works a lot like Bloodborne's rally system, except it's not based around regaining health that has just been lost.

Why do people get so flustered and stop bowing and just CHARGING in at round start when you happen to beat them?

Also, if you are playing kahlt.. fuck mobility. Just armor the fuck up and put some points in HP. FUCK SPEED. Seriosuly. It changed my fucking life.

>>187770028

Yeah that's what I mean by unique, "the way it's implemented". You get get what I mean, though. I love how many ways they reward players for actually being skilled, without making it unnecessarily convoluted. Even shitters can heal a bit. If you can hit them without getting hit, you can heal more, quite possibly your entire health bar to full. They leave it up to you to figure out how to accomplish that. At the same time if you get hit, it ALL shuts off, so there's a bit of a risk involved too. It also means if you can observe that someone is backing off to try to heal, you can stay on top of them and prevent them from doing it, hit them mid-animation and cancel it. You can punish healing if you're good and stay on top of things, if you have good situational awareness.

A lot of it feels like common sense, yet I couldn't have thought of it. I love it.

>>187770220
>same shit happened in for honor holy fuck

There was incredibly good reason to be pissed off and tired of "playing defense" in that though.

>>187770190
Seriously. Even the combat is wayyyy more in depth than it seems at first.

There's unblockables, counter-moves, each move has range. Putting certain moves together makes the combat flow much smoother and gets your attacks out faster. Getting perfect attacks is kind of hard if you're watching your opponent, but if you get the timing down you will perform so much more efficiently.

Getting hit from a direction will usually change your position to that direction, and strafing causes your position to change too. I think if this game survives, and people play for a long while, really good fighting game players will be pulling off insane shit during fights. Like being able to read which of your opponents moves could possibly come next, and making a decision on which moves you then need to throw out in order to adjust your position

>>187770572
That seems like an operator error then.

>>187770572
Literally every attack in the game can be parried. Do you just mean YOU don't use it?

>>187770143

PROTIP: try to stick to as close to the minimum for "normal" mobility as possible (around 14-15, it says the word next to it just pay attention to that). That's what I've been doing and haven't felt like my movement or stamina has been completely fucked, but good GOD can I tank hits. Everyone on this fast mobility meme, but high armor is underrated if you know how to take advantage of it, and how to use absorb to keep your stamina up.

Also have at LEAST one charged attack on an alt somewhere in your deck. You'll be glad you did with all of these spammy dexfag faggots around. Haymaker is love, haymaker is life.

I'm trying to figure how exactly the move stuff works

Every move has its "ending place" but It can start anywhere on the wheel, right?

What about some moves that are "in different quadrant" What fuck that means?


also, servers offline I think.

>>187770220

>>187771150

>>187770694

Yup. Just wanted to make one point though:
>Getting perfect attacks is kind of hard if you're watching your opponent, but if you get the timing down you will perform so much more efficiently.

Maybe it's just because I've been passionate about music all of my life but, the SOUND. And to some degree, rhythm. But seriously, try going into practice mode, and just spam the attack button and watch the bar. You'll notice you'll essentially hear the sound of your attack, and just as the sound completes, that's when the perfect attack time is there. I've been able to do it quite consistently because I listen to my attacks, but also if you use the same deck for awhile and get used to the "flow", you should probably be able to feel the rhythm, how the timing on each attack "feels" in the chain. Like a drum beat.

I feel like if you have some music chops it should help a lot. Try using your ears instead of your eyes, it's the same way I was able to beat Nameless King on my very first try because I could hear what most of his moves sounded like and got a feel for the rhythm of his combos so I knew when to dodge.

>>187757008
cut them some slack, they simply didn't expect their game to be That sucessful on release

So if you're trying to learn moves from enemies is it better to drag out the fight to block as many moves as you can or just beat the living fuck out of them as quickly as possible?

For Honor is a poor man's For Honor. Fuck, it has less players than Chivalry, at the moment and when Mordhau comes out both of them are gonna be dead anyways.

>>187771568

Deluded idiots thats what

>>187770962

Not necessarily, I think it mostly deals with "forward" and "backward" though. You'll notice if you go into your deck and you have a 3 hit combo set up, and you go into the 2nd move, there will be 2 that are red. So you can't do a forward move while in the back position, things have to ultimately line up smoothly and connect. I'm pretty sure certain moves only work from certain stances too, so depending on how the chain is set up you'll only have access to a certain set of subsequent moves.

holy FUCK how do you deal with sweeps
i'm using the stagger stance and every time i see some fucker whipping out the jin kazama i just want to cry. the default stagger deck can't deal with this shit.

Better yet: use your class ability on them successfully, on the skill you want. You learn it much faster that way. You can just block though, yes, but it'll take longer.

N-NANI?!

Is it possible to play a slow attack based kahlt build? I have tried and it feels horrid when you have bitches eye poking you at the speed of light and shit. WHERE IS THE FUCKING HYPER ARMOR!? GOD DAMN! I have encountered like one kahlt move that had hyper armor on it and its like the basic one you get.

The lack of hyper armor makes me not want to use moves like falcon punch or that really heavy upper elbow. Seems pointless. It also sucks that you have to feint at like the beginning frame of the ability.

>still no /asg/ school
Guys cmon

>>187773083
My general understanding is that you play through the game naturally once, then you PvP your way up to level 60, then you go back and fight the bosses again and possibly farm them for any moves you've missed or equipment you want.

You can learn moves from other players. If you have any friends you can get them to hit you with moves over and over again to "teach" them to you very quickly as well.

In PvE it should be the case but in PvP needing to win the round to retain the skill knowledge is fucking cancer. It makes trying to become a Staggermancer a cascade effect. Your basic deck sucks so you cant learn moves because your deck sucks so you cant learn moves because your deck sucks ad infinitum or until lucky.

The same way you stop people with infinite health in Dark Souls.

>servers down again

haha time to go kill myself

How to I equip more powers? I have heal and shard power release but I can't seem to add Shockwave/Exhaust/Shockwave even though I've defeated the guys who I can get from.

After this game I'm ready to choke anyone who ever does the "Hurr dey only attack you 1 at a time like in kung fu movies" shit about games again, 3v1 is horribly unfun in all situations.

Nevermind, didn't realize it's under the Equipment tab.

There is a NPC in Oratian Quarters you talk to.

So any good boxing deck tips? Any moves you'd consider a must have?
I'd love some help with the sweet science.

>>187775539
Rolling punches a must to punish high attacks.

>access to two underwhelming spells occasionally
>sorta close to being a wizard and castling lots of spells
You cast fewer spells in this game than the fucking Witcher games or any other throwaway action rpg, and those don't begin to come "sorta" close to the wizarding experience.

>>187775539
have your alts all be fast jabs that reset to top right, and have your top right alt be the charged haymaker or other charge move of your choice.

it's super good to be able to throw a trading move into any combo almost on reaction

What martial arts go into each style?

>>187775539
there are a lot of hooks, jabs, crosses, uppercuts. pretty good super armor right hook type move that i use on all my sets.

How hard is it to switch to K+M? I figured controller was the best but it feels awkward plus I feel like there's input lag

>>187775302
works on my machine

>>187775898
I was just about to post about this. I've been hovering for the past 2 days because I do not have/want a controller.

whats wrong with wanting good PVE content? This shit will be the downfall of this game

Boxing
Kung Fu
MMA Fighting
Anime and old B-rate kung fu flicks

Stagger style is obviously Wing Chun, the rest I'm not sure about.

Fuck faggots who just spam their defensive move, blow your brains out with how boring and artificially dragged out this makes fights, it's always windniggers too who are 0-2 and know they can't win so it's just trying to waste time.

>>187776445
Level 60 is the cap.

I've also done a load of PvE because of no servers, and I think that levels you faster than PvP.

>>187776529
i never expected to be baited on this outside of /asp/, fuck you anon for making me reply

People talking about boxing right now and started reading this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_styles_and_technique

How reasonable is it to play a kahlt fist-only deck? I'm actually kinda interested in the styles, even if it's only a meme. But maybe it isn't? I like the thought of role playing a style of fighting.

>>187776724
You can make just about anything work but it will rely on you being really fucking precise with your defensive mechanic and dodges.

If you want to go Kahlt you're going to also need to learn which moves hit more than once so you can trade with armor.

Can any of you /g/ fags explain what exactly is so hard about making sure your servers aren't a fucking mess?

I'm just so confused. It's 2017. The game is all multiplayer. They *knew* this was going to happen. Now we're on to day 2 and we're still having entire regions told to fuck themselves

What attempted retardation even is this.

>>187777130
Are there really no punch-related counters to low sweeps, especially if I'm up in your face constantly? Besides I doubt there's anyone just spamming all low sweep moves, if I can just tank that shit and move on with knocking their teeth out I'd be happy. Maybe just put in 1 kick or something just to deal with low sweep bullshit, but I really doubt it's like "fuck I just lose now 100% countered GG no RE"

>>187777146
Modern developers are too cheap to properly stress test their servers, game comes out and the servers shit themselves, developers do a big shrug and go WHA HAPPUN?

It's basically expected at this point.

>>187777320
I'm tempted to ask you the same question

>>187777468
I think verticals hit sweeps, though no clue if there's a punching vertical.

Actually I should say this is at least as much on the publishers as devs, but either way.

>>187777541
No free u for faggots trying too hard to bait.

>>187777468
Falcon Punch maybe, but it's finicky. If you can time it, you might be able to jump their sweep and clock them as they stance back up
