Blocks not working?

Anyone else experiencing this? Like I'll block left and the person's attack just goes right through, and I don't understand it.

Another time, I blocked up for two seconds, and Frey_Liefdottir just went right through with an overhand. I asked her about it when she died, and she said it was strange because she didn't see me block; she just saw me standing there.

Keeps happening often. What about anyone else?

I think there is a latency or block bug or whatever, which registers your block direction wrongly sometimes.

It's annoying as hell.

Everytime I get killed through a block, my opponent clearly stated that I didn't even block, or blocked the wrong direction, I tell him that it was correct on my screen, and then people call me a whiner. Retarded.

Experienced something similar, less swings going through blocks (does happen pretty sure this isn't a recent development though), just the inablity to block random swings. Might just be me failing /mouse playing up though xD

It's nobodies fault really.

Basicly you lost Sync with the server for a sec and the server (and thus everybody else) thinks that you are doing something else.
And since te server is always right.....

I find that it's most often the animations that don't keep up with your blocks rather than the other way around.

I've stopped looking at my character so much when considering what way I'm blocking, now I mostly "go with my gut".

I've always had this problem to a certain degree, though it was very rare, until recently.

I used to be able to count how many times a block didn't register on one hand after a month of playing.

Now I don't even have enough fingers anymore to count how much times a block doesn't register in a single day of playing.

I literally get people running to me with an overhead ready for a full 5 seconds, me blocking up for a full 5 seconds, only for the swing to hit right through.

I've also had problem blocking overhead somehow, not sure if it's the game or my mouse or what but sometimes I have to try blocking up several time, my camera's literally looking straight into the sky and my guy is still alternating between right and left block instead of blocking up.

I get the same thing too, and everyone just say you're trying to find excuses, Lol.

Ive experienced this myseld and others have reported it to me too.

Its definately not just a case of held attacks or getting around the block.

1 guy went thru my overhead face to face, not even face hugging and i was whining on ts and some1 told me they didnt even see i blocked

If a guy has ping of like 15 and you have like 65, you need to be super fast with your block if you want to block him. It's latency and jitter mostly. I have connection issues most of the time, only after midnight I'm kinda lag free.

Latency and packet loss. What you see on your screen is not always what the server registers as actually happening.

I don't really find that this happens to me much. I don't know if there's really anything that can be done about it, except improve your connection?

This happens so much to me I don't even bother blocking most of the time. From what I understand it's packet loss due to unstable connection.
Wherever I tread, only chaos & destruction follow.

Nah, I have a ping fluctuating between 60 and 70 and it's mostly fine for me in that sense.

It's when you go 100 + that things start to become weird.
