General Discussion / Re: Earlier attacks question

« on: October 22, 2011, 02:44:10 am »

I am far from being a melee expert but this happened to me a couple of times (maybe 4 times) . I side block when the opponent does a overhead swing but it seems I still block at the very last second for reasons beyond my comprehension.

It is kind of frustrating when I chamber an attack just to find out it's actually a different one or re-blocking because it showed the wrong animation. My favorite is when you click to do a quick, regular swing and your character just decides it wants to hold the attack until a random moment in your frantic clicking attempt in gaining control of your toon.

I would just chalk that up to the game's engine though.

These things happen atleast once a day.

Great mode!

I enjoyed it alot. Here are some things I was thinking while playing it.

-Stone walls and stone buildings should only be damaged by catapults or have alot more hp.

-A respawn timer. Operation human meat shield worked too well at the dummy.

-Horses should cost a fortune! cav should be lategame! or you have to be really careful with it, and not just suicide charge into the dummy every 30 seconds like you can now.

-Exchange the dummy for the virgine..

I did not have any FPS problems other than while in the build menu with stone props, some wooden props did not make the fps lower.
