In reality what you need to do is send Devolver a couple thousand dollars to buy some servers that fucking work

>>188091346
The ultimate refund-circumvention strategy is to frontload your games with several hours of tepid, halfbaked PVE so players won't realize the servers are complete garbage until it's too late.

they posted this about it on wednesday

>We are aware that some players are facing big lag issues, preventing them from enjoying the online experience in Absolver.
We apologize for the rocky start, the team is working night and day to improve this. We have a couple of major fixes in the works, which should be deployed next week and should improve these issues. Thank you for your patience!

i hope they realize that by "next week" it might be too late. if i hadn't spent time beating the single player part in offline mode and gone past 2 hours, i would have absolutely refunded. so i guess they scammed me out of my money whether they end up fixing it or not. either way, i'm very upset at the whole situation.

>>188092474
>next week
Far too late. Godfucking dammit, this game was really great for the four fucking hours I actually got to play it.

>>188092052
>tfw you have a basic functioning brain
Well done.

>>188092474

I normally wouldn't mind waiting but I just don't have the free time I did when I was a kid. It's just frustrating when so much of the game is locked behind PVP. And don't get me wrong, I fucking love PVP and want to PVP, but christ.

How do you fuck up this badly. With actual MMOs I'm generally a bit more forgiving because I never, ever expect a launch to go off without a rocky start. But this is a fighting game without local multiplayer, so I can't even fight friends.

>>188092616
you can play it even more and it'll still be great next week

>>188092421
The reserves are E M P T Y

>>188092474

I feel like this is a bit heavy-handed. It's not surprising to have this situation given the circumstances, but absolver is just that unique of a gaming experience that I feel like it's worth dealing with whatever technical difficulties are going on to play it.

There aren't really any other games I'd want to play atm, if I have to wait a week then so be it. I was willing to burn my $26 from the start for the chance at a legit game to move on to from dark souls 3, but I've already put over 30 hours into the game so I honestly sincerely cannot complain. It can only get better from here.

They aren't ubisoft. Give them a chance, man.

MagnumDong really seems like a 4chan name. If you're here, thanks for the assistance.

>>188092892
The problem is these issues can murder a multiplayer game before it even has a chance to take off. I'm only harsh on them about this because I don't want it to end up like so many good multiplayer games do and die from idiotic technical issues.

>>188092474
>can't even wait a week

>>188092892
>pay for a game
>it doesn't work
>"i can't complain!"

i don't know why you're sticking up for them. this is unacceptable.

Remember to thumbs up even when you're lagging and not in control of the fights.

>>188092892

Don't get me wrong, I'll definitely return to the game. Hell I'll still play it even offline to fuck around with different styles (comfy with Forsaken, learning Windfall, about to try Khalt 45). I really like this game and I'm not about to give up on it.

But people really are pretty fickle. And people CAN and WILL give up on this shit. That's my big concern. Not just the fact that I can't fucking play the game the way I want to (as it was intended, I mean), but the fact that the playerbase and word of mouth might take a negative hit as a result.

I get that it's a smaller studio, and that's one of the reasons why I'm giving it some leeway, but it's still unacceptable. What's worse is it's a holiday weekend and this would've been the perfect time to maximize sales and spread the word

>>188093176

Because all other games right now are garbage so I'm gonna hitch my wagon to devolver's star and pray they fix shit because the core game is beautiful and they're specifically focused on PvP (compare that to dark souls which I've invested thousands of hours in, and PvP was "an afterthought" in that game)

>finally get a PvP match
>"unreal 4 has crashed"
I'm fucking done.

>>188093354

I mean like, I understand your point but there really isn't an alternative game to absolver at the moment. I'm not happy about the connection issues either but there's anything better, so I'm just gonna hope they fix shit. They aren't ubisoft and have specifically said they're gonna release a big patch soon, I can wait a week, hell I could wait a month as long as it meant, at some point, I'd be able to play the shit out of this game.

To be honest a game should be ready to play on release day. Were they not expecting people to want to play the day it came out? Products have release dates and should be operable 100% that day.

With that said, it all depends how long it takes Slo to finalize its intentions.

>>188092421
Yeah, there's a bug with load zones were sometimes they don't trigger, so you just wander into the lowpoly preload version of the area. Happened to me on my first playthrough going from Bird Callers to the Twin's bossfight.

Did you know that the stairs that lead up from Bird Callers don't spawn in until the area is loaded? I had to climb up the hill to the side, which was left unblocked by foliage because also none of that loaded.

>>188092892
>>188093143
I think the issue people have with waiting a week is that the playerbase will take a drastic hit over that week and that when companies give these sort of timelines they always go over. Oceania was supposed to have servers by Friday. Shit is still fucked.

>game freezes
>alt+f4
>40 minutes later still hasn't closed

>>188093736
He's correct though? Pvp was secondary for the developers of dark souls and the game wasn't balanced around the idea of players fighting other players.

>>188093630

>there isn't an alternative game to Absolver at the moment.

And therein lies my dilemma. I want to play Absolver while I have my very limited free time (working 55 hour work weeks).

I cannot play Absolver when I have said free time. So as a result, I'm kind of buttsmashed over this. Again, they're a smaller studio so I'm willing to give them some slack, but it's still frustrating as hell.

I have other fighting games I'm still very much interested in playing, but GG Rev2, Tekken 7, and SFV are not games I wanna play atm. Absolver's got me hooked despite those three.

>>188093964

From being shitty and slow at balancing is somehow a case against the fact that multiplayer, and especially invasion-based PVP, has been a defining, central trait of the series since its inception, one that the entire series has been shaped by a designed around, and in no way an afterthought as previously described?

Yeah, you're a moron.

Fresh prospect here, any tips or tricks? Been donking abut learning moves by dodging shit and trying to get some neat kick shit going. Where can I get a cool cape.

Also is this server thing gonna be a while, have the devs commented? I wanted to try my deck in pvp.

I need more punches so I can get rid of these pansy punches.

i feel like my enjoyment of duels has gone down by quite a lot

my first thought used to be

>can't wait to see if this guy is as good as me or even better

now it's

>oh great i wonder what this guy's gimmick is
>oh it's that fucking double fist sweep into a billion other ducking attacks

usually i just end up mashing the one good, fast mid attack i have and the whole fight feels like a waste of time

maybe it's time to retire the jab considering about 80% of the game's population has built a counter deck specifically for dealing with it

>>188094110
Secondary literally means an afterthought.

Primarily, they thought about PvE. After, so, second, they thought about PvP. So it was an after thought.

>>188096354
just try reconnecting few times, the servers are up methinks

>>188096512
By putting it in the right thread you sperg.

>>188096354
there's a cape you can pick up in the docks. it's on a slightly hidden ledge you have to drop down to. there's also one in the essence reserves but that's not until after you've killed all the marked ones so if you're really early you can't get it yet.

the capes all look pretty ratty and bad though. the one you get from beating the game is the only decent one imo.

>>188096354
try to learn as much as you can from enemies just to make sure you have an extensive move library

dont focus on one style of combat too hard until you have all the moves necessary. i.e: a boxing deck might be fun, but without the right moves or absorbs, a low kick will fuck you up all day

make sure you understand your own deck. even if you need to super simplify it, having a deck you know how to use is more important than having a deck that has a ton of shit that you dont know how to whip out at a moment's notice

if you want to connect, just keep hitting retry no matter what.

>>188098197
Gravity for pin point accuracy, for pinging healing cowards.
Earthquake for proximity and combining, and it has a shorter animation.

They should allow warping from "not bonfires" after the first game is beaten.

>>188097754
I don´t think you can dodge it, you gotta take the hit/block it. Though something i noticed is that there is quite a winddown animation after the hits, so if you attack right after the two hits are done you can always get some hit in if you have a fast enough opening

I started Forsaken first, got decent with it, then rerolld Windfall since the servers are fucked.

I want to like Windfall but I feel so fucking vulnerable. Only played as it for a few hours (beat the game in like, 2 hours), but goddamn this is frustrating.

About to try Khalt 45. How is it?

>>188098505
Kahlt is my favorite. It makes you super aggressive since you can restore your stamina with absorb.

>>188098472
As far as distance and getting out of shitty situations, yes. It even gives you a stamina and learning bonus some times if you happened to take Windfall.

>>188098160
Windfall always guarantees a punish if you do it right. Even if you avoid light jabs.

Forsaken only, rarely guarantees a light punish. Most of the time the enemy can dodge/block.

Alright i give up, almost 3 hours. Anyone on PC has the Calbot that can teach me?

>>188097607
I refunded it too.

While I could see the fun in customising your deck and the potential this game had, the start is a very slow slog. Given the numerous server issues and the declining player base I just couldn't risk investing more time into the game and going over the 2 hr refund limit only to get stuck with a dead region, shit servers, or the establishment of a cookie cutter meta that destroys any sense of variety.

If the game isn't dead by the time it goes on sale I may give it another go.

I mean, it's partly a meme, but it's actually serious if you think about it. Is it a millennial thing? Or whatever they're calling the current generation of under-20's?

She's kicking your ass? GOOD. Guess what? It's not impossible. You know what that means? It means you fucking suck. What does THAT mean? It doesn't mean quit, it means GIT. FUCKING. GUD. PRACTICE, EXPERIMENT, ASK PEOPLE BETTER THAN YOU FOR ADVICE. Stop crying like a little fucking bitch, sorry. not sorry.

Am I just REALLY bad, or is this Ama marked one in the bird's nest or whatever fucking cheating?

I killed her the first time through, but going back around she starts with a sword this time and just totally fucks my world up. What the fuck do I even do against infinite stamina winddodging ass?

I'm not even complaining about the difficulty you sperg I'm upset that it just isn't fun, fighting a bot that input reads with 10 times your health pool is annoying, not a "challenge".

throw in some fun, unique mechanics to spice up the fight and make it feel like a final boss that you're defeating for the third time and i'd be perfectly fine with that but this shit is mind numbing.
also I'd tell you to fukken come at me and get yo ass kicked but the servers are fucking down again god fucking dammit yes i'm still mad

>>188099916
dude you just gotta cheese her to be honest senpai. just get a hit in and then get out. repeat this until she dies, and take it slow. When she gets her sword out either start using heavy hitting attacks to knock the sword out of her hand or equip a sword.
I beat her on my first attempt and i have not won a single fucking 1 v 1 structured dual.

Yeah man, dodging jabs sure is hard when 3 out of 4 of the fucking directions works against them. Atleast you don't need specific moves to fight Forsaken, you HAVE to have wide sweeps and moves you can't side dodge otherwise Windfall literally couldn't be hit.

Play Windfall, its actual 4 directions. You need to know every moves single direction. Sure you can dodge jabs, but yeah sweeps top and bottom like a regular fighter, Tekken for instance.

Not to mention moves with double strikes, or really fast lower sweeps (staggers double strike) where the animation is faster than the evading commands animation. When you do pull it off it looks janky as hell.

Every wonder why no one shows off super awesome Windfall gameplay? Because no one can pull it off unless it's a vert/jab, happy newbie.

wtf? this is really frustrating.

Man sometimes I get fucked up by the most random NPCs. I beat the game pretty easy, but every now and again I run into some fucking Windfall NPCs that avoid after the first hit and are constantly on me. I just lost two moves from one that had no health because he just decided that I'm not landing ANYTHING anymore and he's going to keep me in a corner.

I've been using kahlt since day 1, finally found a random encounter with a forsaken school I could join, took me like a half hour against the swamp miniboss guy to keep it permanently. Has nothing to do with stagger my man, parry is just OP in this game and really really easy to use, any braindead idiot can use it on reaction the amount of parry frames must be through the rough compared to, say, dark souls.

Games decent. It ain't great.
Connected to the servers and finding people fucks with the game hard. It respawns all enemies. Was mid fight, cleared 2 out of 3 enemies, the other 2 respawned because I connected with people apparently. Parry system is super god damn tricky. Kinda tough to read which side an attack is coming from at such speeds.

>>188104865
From my experience, donkey kahlt works great against stagger style. You can absorb most of the multi hit moves and get some nice hits in or get some needed stamina back to get out of the flurry of those damn punches.

Anyone else feel that its kind of lame how there are specific moves that break khalt absorb? Why aren't there weaknesses for parry? You can even parry FUCKING SWORDS. Honestly they should make weapons not parryable OR at the very least, you can parry them but you won't end with frame advantage. Currently, forsaken parry always ends with the forsaken player having frame advantage.

>>188109413

>>188109458

busted in good or bad way? They are probably the best out of all the classes primarily because of how parry always ends in your favor. With absorb, you can get stuffed AND there are specific moves that specifically break khalt absorb. There are no moves in the game that can't be parried.

He's not arguing that parry has frame advantage on a whiff, that doesn't make any sense.

The term frame advantage requires that both players are committed to an action, usually someone getting hit or blocking, or in this case, getting parried/parrying. Frame advantage on whiff is nonsense.

Does blocking an attack action as a free action? When the strike hits the block, and I press an attack button; does it start during the block or frames after?

It's a full second before your opponent can act again on a successful parry. That's roughly 1/60 of a full fight in absolver. You end up doing it at minimum a dozen times. That's a lot of time you get and no one else does. It doesn't cost a shard. It removes the pressure whereas the other two stances you still have to act.

Have you even tried it? It's the easiest of the three. Absorb has too many weaknesses to be effective and windfall is only for input reading ai.

>>188117439
Risky doesn't mean less effective, it means that Forsaken undergoes a larger risk when using their ability than windfall and kahlt. Parry being better is justified because of how much more risky it is to use than dodge or absorb. How do you go about nerfing parry without making it the worst of the four styles? If you put its usefulness on par with dodge or absorb it would be a larger risk for a smaller reward.

Like, motherfucker, I started parrying your jabs after a while. At least do me the honor of fucking trying to give a shit to win.

>>188117757
It's not risky at all. It's much safer than windfall and stagger. In some cases it's less risky than absorb. Like you know someone is running absorb so you use your armor breakers more often.

I've 3-0'd this dude like, 20 times. He's 10 levels higher then me and knows some harder to get moves, but he can't even block or dodge.
At first I thought it might be a kid playing or something, so I tried to through out easy to read slow moves to see if I could help him learn to dodge or block, but he just does nothing and spams the same 5 moves over and over.

If you fuck up a parry expect to take a 360 tornado kick to the face.

I think I may have fought an NPC in a combat trial. Nigger brought his sword out and once he dropped it, he would not attack, only block and try to get back to the sword so he could pick it up.

Literally NPC AI.
I know it's not an NPC, dummies.

>>188118572
>If you fuck up a parry expect to take a 360 tornado kick to the face.

This applies to all 4 and parrying is the 2nd easiest of the 4.

Is it me or do some of the kicks have really jank hitboxes? The spin kicks hit even if you're nowhere near them.

>>188118521
You look exactly like a guy who stomped me earlier today. Name?

>>188118987
Definitely not true lol. Parry has the largest lag after a whiff by a wide margin, and it's a lot harder to land than any of the others

>>188119098

Voerman. If I beat you, you should join my school. Because such are the rules of a true Hong Kong brawl.

>>188118987
Objectively false. You cannot be punished as hard for whiffing absorb or avoid as you can for whiffing a parry. Its why feinting is so good against forsaken.

>>188119257
Ah, the guy I fought was called Prussian Nationalism. I haven't even unlocked schools yet, I'm admittedly terrible. Slowly learning how to parry properly, but even that's a tough ride with my reaction time.

i don't mind losing but holy shit, losing every game is horrible. don't know what to do, fiddled with decks for hours, lost every match today with a few fluke wins

Yeah, they have phantom range something fierce. Which is why it's always best to either dodge/blueberry/parry them. Pretty sure that's how I'm winning most of my fights, simply based on the fact that their hitboxes are pretty ridiculous sometimes.

Like here, as much as I'm cringing at this was the point before I could put a kick in every slot, he keeps dodging back and at least 2 dodges are well out of range from the kicks - he still gets hit and rubberbands back into range again. Although, this guy could've literally just windfall ducked under any of them and punished me hard for it

Neither of which matters in the context of the fact of what I wrote to you, you absolute retard. Read it again and actually address what's written there instead of making some loose argument that has absolutely no ground, especially making anecdotes that come out of nowhere.

>>188119887
I play Windfall actually, Forsaken was my first character though, and I was blown away when I tried the other two styles at how much easier they all were to land. Kahlt takes some getting used to but it's still easier since direction doesn't matter. Windfall is definitely the easiest.

I'm not even the guy I'm just telling you to stop being a tryhard

I really wish they would fix Drunken Crane's hitbox ASAP. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have such an extended hitbox, as well as hidding middle for no apparent reason when you're still hitting higher up animation-wise than most hooks that only go top.

they keep flaunting that bostaff in their previews and I am just getting more and more excited for it

I swear stagger is fucking bugged
Every fucking hit option on dodge doesnt track, it doesnt hit hard, and it doesnt fucking hit anything unless they are clipping through you

who the fuck thought this was okay?

>Fighting game on 30fps
Disgusting

Just started playing yesterday and I'm not sure I'm getting the hang of it. Had to turn off online due to lag, and every fight with an NPC feels like just a back and forth until they decide to not block my roundhouses and haymakers.

Was picking Khalt and just using the hard hitting and cool looking attacks a mistake? For some reason I thought this game had grabs and figured Khalt would be the one most likely to suplex someone.

>>188122314

Make a new character and try out Forsaken or Windfall, they're both more immediately understandable for a beginner.

>>188121559
Works for me :^)

But seriously, the dodge attacks all have a perfect attack window so you're supposed to use them to quickly start up your combos after avoiding an attack

>>188122327

The big thing is all about attacks countering each other, so a lot of thought needs to go into your deck and what's immediately available with a single button press from what stances, and what kinds of attacks you want to be weaving in when you're putting on the spam. You can do things like flying kicks that strike downward and forward to punish sweeps, rising uppercuts that punish jumps, sidestepping attacks that punish forward attacks, and so on. There are also hyperarmor attacks, attacks that specifically break hyperarmor, attacks that drain huge amounts of stamina if blocked (thus leading to easy guardbreaks), and attacks are easier or harder to dodge on a not-exactly-specified basis - some will track like a guided missile and others fly wide if your opponent so much as twitches.

You have to be able to do quick attacks to punish slow windups and feel out your opponent. You have to be able to do heavy hitting attacks to punish guardbreaks. You have to be able to duck, jump, sidestep. You have to be able to use breaking attacks to get past turtles. Regardless of your defensive style, a huge amount of thought has to go into your deck, or else you're bringing a knife to a gun fight - and you have to train a lot with your deck to be able to do everything it's capable of.

For your information, Khalt is, despite being the easiest to use, the hardest to get to an advantage with for a newbie. The important realization is that the bigger the hit you absorb, the more stamina you recover from it - and since you avoid hitstun, you punish post-absorb with a fast attack before they recover. You have to be constantly attacking, always at low stamina, and then using your opponent's attempts to punish you to refill and keep on going. Newbie aren't going to have the filled-out movelists and knowledge of how to build their combos and rotate through them all the time to perpetually be in a state where they can take advantage of the refill.

>>188122958
Khalt has seriously slow startup on all of its basic moves, and its defensive method is super unsatisfying compared to stonewalling a strike or dodging it completely.

Finding moves out in the world is a real pain. Anyone tried discord for move trading? How are your experiences?

>>188123374
Especially since you have to hit to regain the lost health which is easier said than done with the slow-startup hits that you mentioned. Kahlt is seriously some tough shit.

>>188114291
kick decks look so fucking cool, where'd you get that avoid low kick?

>>188123671

Which one? I use like 3 in the webm. But generally, bird village or the stagger-style npcs basically has most the moves I use.

>>188123743
how do you deal with quick attacks with your deck? Is it reliance on guarding + dodge moves?

>>188123876

Parry, or dodge moves. Usually the first 1 - 2 rounds against someone is pretty painful if they use a quick-hit deck where I want to learn the patterns so I know where to parry.

Honestly, I have much more problems with people using slow decks because I'm so used to fighting quick decks that I parry on reaction to movement, and then get hit by a big fuckoff haymaker in the parry-miss stun.

>>188123743
oh yeah whoops, I was talking about the cool one at 2-3 seconds, I'm at bird village rn so I'll have a look. Are there any stagger school beyond the jinn?

>>188092385
>That stagger whirly doodle in the bottom right stance
Very un-Khalt my dude

>>188124032

Yeah, they pop up after you beat the game and become an Absolver. Once that happens, basically randomizes enemies everywhere with a small bias for certain enemies in areas, and stagger-style enemies pop up fucking everywhere with moves that not even Jinn has. But the kick in particular you can get from Aba or Ama or whatever the Marked One is called in the Bird Village. She'll usually do a right jump kick into a right jump kick into that one kick.

>>188092385

There's only 3 charged moves.

All pieces of gear found in the drops from the combat trials are a slight bit better than the stuff you find dropped from the enemies. Even the prospect gear.

Literally every single Dark Souls related name has dashed off and tried to heal when I've fought them. And literally every time, they get Gravity'd after they cast it and they don't seem to realize that Gravity stops it if left unblocked so they become so much more aggressive, thinking they're gonna heal up.

>>188125965

Real talk, the heal and heal over time is fucking tiny and makes basically no difference by itself. It's the resulting lifesteal that gives it strength.

If someone pops heal and is able to confirm a combo without getting tickled once in the next flurry of blows, they deserve that heal.

>>188126840


I definitely agree but that said using the heal after winning a round to repair some extra damage is a great way to maintain a lead since you are pretty much assured to get the full 20% or whatever it is it heals.

Whoever just spent 3 minutes teaching be the slap in Combat Trials

Sorry for ankle kicking you so much. Thanks for the slap

>>188126840

I'm aware, it's just a funny observation that currently 100% of the 7 people I've fought with Dark Souls names have all used shockwave->heal and then tried to run around and let it heal them.

12 minutes too late, dangit.

So I have not seen it in this thread but in the last one I saw multiple people saying that you cannot chain the staggered Dodge into a combo. Were they just stupid or what because you definitely can
