Title: Feinting does not work anymore / Bar Mace broken?
Post by: BlameMeForTheNoise on June 24, 2012, 12:48:08 pm
Heya, I just noticed a weird problem concerning my attacking/feinting with the Bar Mace. And its just on the Bar Mace. Everything else works fine (so far).

First the problem: I do a right feint and immediately block to abort the animation and do a leftswing - which worked just fine a week ago.
Now it shows the right chamberanimation and then gets "stuck" in the blockanimation (even after releaseing the right mouse button and clicking the left button for attacking) for up to 1 second and then just shows a very weird movement which looks like the block and attack mixed together but it does not register as an attack.

Either it does that or it just does not attack at all. Sometimes on the other hand the block does not register. The same for the other attack-feint-combination-direction.

Even weirder is that this is only a problem with the Bar Mace. All other 2handers i used worked fine so far.
And no, its not the "unbalanced" tag. Normally you are able to feint with unbalanced weapons if you "feint" at the very start of the chamber-animation...
I use unbalanced weapons most of the time and it worked fine until now...

Its not a connection or system problem from my side either. I got my steady 17 ping and 120 fps like always...

This "Unbalanced" may be your problem unbalance weapons cannot cancel there attack as quick as balance weapons
Here a Wiki link for more info

When you swing an Unbalanced weapon and miss (not hitting an enemy body / shield / block) it needs more time to chamber it again.

If you see the term “unbalanced” you will also take longer to regain balance after attacking and it’s tough to switch from an attack into a block at speed.

I'm not doing it too late. I played this "move" for a long time and know the timing by heart...
Like I said: It has nothing to do with unblanced. It just started happening recently... :/

The game is mixing the animations for blocking and the release of the attack together in a way which is not reproducable with other weapons.
It has nothing to do with the mechanics of unbalanced but rather is a fault/bug in the engine.
