Interrupted blocks and dodges

[Edaqa]

I'm finding that blocking is quite unreliable. It appears that enemies can interrupt a block mid-process. I'm okay with my block being slow, and them getting a hit in. But it seems that unless I release the button, wait, and try again I can't block.

The problem of turning my back on the enemy also persists. So I am blocking, and locked, I sometimes just turn my back and walk away.

I am not sure if this is the block mechanism or a flaw in the right click button response time. I find that as well. Some times with the slightest movement we lost the shield even if we are holding the button which is a pain cause we think the shield is up "especially in corners" and yet it is not. This definitely needs to be fine tuned by Keen. I feel your pain

The game engine seems to be deciding whether the enemy's hits will connect by looking to see if your shield is up at the moment the enemy begins his first swing. If yes, you block successfully, but if no then you fail to block any of the hits. It's a terrible way to do things. The programming may be easier for the developer, but the results are garbage for players.
