So they want to 'fix' hiltslashing yet polestun remains where players are able to basically get a free hit if they hit you once and polestun you, I've never had a problem with 2h at all, yet it is lame as hell when someone can hit you once with a polearm, then you are basically unable to do anything as they hit you again.

I noticed is straight away when I joined the duel server yesterday (after several weeks pause though). Like Quantum said, the right swing flickers at the start of animation.
Also several of my swings got literally stuck in chamber and I had to click again to release swing.

How about you revert this until you implement the new solution? (I don't agree with dumbing down combat by removing hiltslash, but fine, don't really care)

Not only is the swing slower, it feels like the chamber animation is slower as well and this obviously affects feints and normal attacks.

See, this is exactly what I mean. Only the chamber animation was changed, yet you somehow came to the conclusion that swing is slower as well (which it isn't). Autosuggestion much?

Hardly. Since I didn't see anyone else in the thread mentioning the strange chamber animation (until now) I assumed it was the swing itself which was slower.

Anyway, I don't think it's the slower swings which are causing so much butthurt right now, rather the way in which it was implemented. The 2H right swing really seems odd now, and it messes with your rhythm when you're fighting for your life. For comparison, I played with a polearm alt last night and the swing felt the same as always, which is an important point. Changing the way combat feels makes the change more noticeable and harder to deal with.

It feels perfectly fine to me. It may feel weird to you because you played the class for a very long time and got used to it so that you notice even the slightest change.
Archers had their entire set of animations replaced, I'm sure you can get used to this little change if you give it some time.

Of course, but couldn't it be a little smoother?

Nice try, but you must play 2h for at least 2 months in a row to join the 2h lobby.

Basically this. A rather small problem like hiltslashing (which can still be blocked) gets addressed but the ridicolous polestun stays in the game.

He didn't say it goes through blocks, but polestagger+sidestep makes it pretty much unblockable.

I am saddened that an impartial player like Phyrex, known for having mastered all classes and his versatility in play styles, would think that of me. It definitely means I did something wrong.

I am saddened because he's right :D
