I don't get all this complaining about "Everyone can block indefinitely", "Feinting does nothing", "Game is too slow"
I use a 1 directional 69 speed unbalanced weapon, most people can't block me for shit.
You're NA.
Enough said.
Nah, joking aside, whenever I play, almost every opponent reads all the feints, can block chambers even, the only real way to kill someone is to out circle-slash spam, or wiggle around if you've got a weapon suitable.
Other way is to group up on an enemy, 4 to 1 usually means that the lone guy is dead.
(There are other, and the "basic" ways sure, but those are too time wasting..)
I think it's getting frustrating, I have to counter-circle around like a maniac, if not, then I get weird insta headhits on me.
The only gripe I have with this is there's already plenty of players with plenty of fast weapons that I have a hard time blocking, especially some 1h's.
They dont deal crap dmg either, it hurts.
Agree, onehanders are quite weird. Even though I use axes, breaking a Huscarl takes a lot, LOT of swings to do, the onehander can use it to close up on you, then do this circle-spam I mentioned.
It's funny how easily they can take me out with over 70hp, with an onehander sword. Mostly in three hits, I've been 2hitted before by onehanded swords.. You just have no time window to attack them, and if my Axe gets stuck in the shield by accident, I'm dead.
And if you break a good player's shield.. all hell breaks loose, because they are good melee fighters even, and will outspeed and outdamage you in close combat.
Thing is, they should be either fast, or powerful. Not both at the same time.
