My best recorded example of 2h sword hitting through block.

[Corrado_Decimo]

Just to prove when I say it went through my block I'm not talking horseshit.
Btw, was just recorded not long before the latest patches, using the so called OP LHB.

i only see a nub being pwned. that's a somewhat good twohander. there are lots better 2h players out there.

I'm sure that missed blocks happen occasionally due to packet loss lag etc, but I'd be willing to bet that 95+% of the time it's player error.  Sometimes I catch myself failing due to tap blocking and falling for feints, sometimes I might have the right block but turn too far to the side and get caught by the swing anyways, etc etc.

The best way to improve is to recognize what you are doing incorrectly and adjust.  I originally held my mouse buttons far too hard when blocking and have been able to have a little more finesse recently.  Now I need to work on the 'don't suck' part of it all.

I think you should post more videos of you obviously not holding your blocks


Also any time where you get hit through a held block its because your screen is showing one block but the server seeing another, so you'd need the guy you're fighting frapsing it as well

Cicero haX!

[Elmetiacos]

I've just left EU1 because of suffering from phantom blocks and strikes. The server seems to be overworked, which may have a lot to do with it. I had, and watched other people getting, several instances of weapons passing harmlessly through enemies or attacks passing through what looked like good blocks.

Okay guys lets stop having fun of Prime and share our ancient hax knowledge with him.
There is a trick which makes your attacks go through and which also makes your blocks even more stable.
Go to Local drive:C/Windows and drag your System32 folder into Warband/Modules/cRPG/Resource
After that , open "actions" text file in cRPG.
after the last line (anim_horse 0 1 0 0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0) add
anim_better_blocks 0 1 0 0 0 . 2 . 1
unused_better_blocks_anim 0 1 0 0 0 . 2 . 1
anim_better_attacks 0.0.1.0.0 0 0 . 1
unused_better_attacks_anim 0.0.1.0.0 0 0 . 1
Save your changes and it should be done !

This thread is now to be considered epic 

[Duerkos]

This happens to me sometimes too. But I know its because I release the block and then try to block again. However, sometimes you think you have blocked well and you didnt.

Good players take advantadge of this? Not really, they just feint you and try to hit you before you block again (if you release the block). If they catch you 5 ms before you are really blocking, well, you are dead and that's what happens.

You have given me a good idea, maybe ill install fraps and start recording whenever i'm in battle. Then I could see the video in slow-mo and correct my errors

I think you just dont know who he is.... :-)

Cant believe this thread still keeps going bcoz the first vid allready shows what went wrong // who commited what mistake.

To point this out, its not ciceros fault neither a problem of 2 handers.
Early block release simply causes this.

+1 same mistakes on other videos, is especially clear in the battle with rxn

As is why I slowed it down. The animation shows the weapon still there even if as soon as you release block it's not going to work as a block but in fast paced combat it's hard to tell, which fools me I guess.

[La Makina]

Tell if I am wrong but I think that you cannot block twice an attack: I mean once you drop the first block (that was supposed to stop the attack), the game considers that the attack will pass even though you would be fast enough to re-place a block in time.
