Animations...

[Xant]

Ok, so I've had(and from what I've been told, others have too) shitty animations for a long time, but lately they've gotten worse. I keep seeing someone overhead me and then it, all of a sudden, turns into a left slash(or any other attack). Same happens to me: I chamber a right slash for 10 seconds, then when I release it, it suddenly turns into a thrust after a while. Also got real choppy animations sometimes. Seems like it has gotten worse recently... any way to make it better?

It's probably because of lagspikes during fight.I don't see any other explanation.You know , you need a better connection if its internet related , you need to update your drivers/hardware if its pc performance related. (Or try to run the game in dx7 with shitty settings.Lots of textures = RAM EATING MONSTER!)

Those are caused by server lag mostly. Is there an increased load on the EU servers with strat back? It is probably why you are noticing them more.

+1

the 2h animations are terrible now, never had so many problems, glances, failblocks etc.

Feint wildly and your swings will be invisible and come out of directions you never imagined

Parkinson disease obviously needs a nerf when it comes to feints.

If you have fps lag (or simply client-side lag), try keeping everything as is (dx9, hdr etc.) and lowering texture size to minimum. All my problems vanished when I did that. I don't exactly know wether this is server or client related.
