seriously no way to quick swap to 2H stance?
is there seriously no way to quickly 2 hand a weapon? even if i only have the one weapon equipped it doesn't 2 hand and i have to press the right bumper again for my dumb ass character to get into the correct stance . or even a bow and a sword like you cant ever use a bow and a sword at the same time so why can you equip them both instead of just swapping between them. this wouldn't be a big issue if switching stance wasn't unnecessarily slow forcing you to wait til the initial swapping animation is over to only then swap stances instead of just allowing you to double tap go straight to 2 handing this is a completely horrible system in a game where most enemies are hyper-aggressive leaving you with barely enough time to dodge between attacks much less to wait til some dumb ass unnecessarily slow animation is over.

I prefer the previous games method of having you just press Y/Triangle once

this system makes no sense, if you wanted to have 2 weapons at once or a shield and sword it could be as easy as just pressing rb and lb at the same time and no need to swap between 2H 1H and 2H again for single weapons. its like 5-minutes of getting used to it vs hours of frustration. i swear at this point i believe devs intentionally make their games ♥♥♥♥.

Yeah, its definitely slowed my swapping down too

wow we have very different definitions of slow. It's never been an issue for me in PvE or PvP.

i mean maybe its cuz im used to shooters where fractions of a second matters but yeah its rather slow to me it takes a fat second for you to swap to your sword then 2 hand it due to the unnecessary delay between them. its simply unrealistic too tbh. it doesnt make the game unplayable and can be worked around but really it shouldn't as it is in the first place.

not to be that person, but so is being able to swing colossal swords while still somehow struggling to swing a greatsword at the same time kek.

Why the insults bro, it hurts, right in my pancreas.

You're welcome to disagree you're just objectively wrong.

dude you obviously don't understand the concept of suspension of disbelief.

yes i can suspend my disbelief that a guy can be strong enough to wield a colossal sword but in no way does it make sense that the same guy switches his weapon into the wrong stance and waits until he is fully in that stance to swap into the right one. in no universe would that make sense unless stances gave you like a power boosts.

i use an x box controller for windows all you do is:

press Y and RB simultaneously.

avatar switches back and forth to 1 or 2 handed in 1/4th of a second.

not sure what the problem is but you can 2 hand a weapon by holding a triangle and pressing R1 or L1 for either right or left hand weapon to be 2 handed, not sure what the keybinds are if you are playing on mouse and keyboard

if you are using something like a bow with a sword as any samurai should if you want to swap between 2H either you have to press y+rb/lb again or if you opt to put away your bow/sword instead you still need to press y+rb/lb to 2h pretty sure this is the same if you swap your 2H weapon to another such as a torch.

its simply a bad system which Introduces extra steps that aren't necessary at all

So after reading this it literally just sounds like all of your points make absolutely no sense how is this at all very much slower than the old system? all you have to do is press triangle/Y and R1/RT at pretty much the same time lol, come on it's not that hard
