Blocking

[Yield]

Every single player death I have is from a barbarian swinging an axe into my face that I tried every way of blocking or dodging and Im just one shotted imedietly. Spent hours of gearing up and its just always the same thing. Barb shows up and hacks through the entire party

Logic dictates that you then spend 15 seconds rolling a barbarian and looking at its perks to figure out why this is happening and how to prevent it. If you cant figure out how to prevent it, then perhaps you should play a barbarian?

Armor penetration and extra strength against blocks = me dying in one hit while blocking no matter what?

because you have to actually block the attack. Just holding you shield up is not blocking as your head is exposed so you are getting hit in the head. here is a tip, aim up. since most barb attack are overhead swings

Im enjoying this game just for the tears alone. This game generates copious amounts of delicious tears.

..and someone actually made a thread "demanding" proximity voice, lmao... That would turn this game into nothing but a toxic sess pool of toxic racist insults and 12 year olds screaming the F bomb every 3 seconds. ..Can't even imagine what proximity voice would sound like every time someone got attacked by another party. ..All I know is that 95% of the time it would probably sound much like proximity voice sounds like in RUST, just sayin'

Blocking is inconsistent at best. You're telling someone to aim up to block who said he spent hours gearing up. It sounds like he knows how to use a shield.

Perfectly consistent, you just need to know where to aim the shield. All Barbarian weapons have cleave so they go through multiple targets. A block with a shield will cancel their attack and stagger them for a second so they cannot attack as soon as you have blocked their attack leaving you time to hit them once yourself.

Game needs proximity voice. It can be turned off by default or be toggle-able. The game shouldn't rely on players using discord to communicate.

pointing out a flawed mechanic that can and should be fixed isnt tears. if you throw up a block with mordhau type of shielding that takes a bit of skill then it better block the friggin thing

Shields stop ALL damage, if you get damaged while using a shield you didn't block the attack, armor penetration doesn't go through shields it goes through your armor rating.

This is useful.

Yes pay attention to other players how they held shield up while looking at you, most of the time you can see their head and shoot it with an arrow or hit it with an axe. To block a blow from above you actually need to aim the shield up. Also dodging matters, if barbarian takes a long sideways swing you can crouch (and look down) below it

[Yield]

Ive been playing wizard and ranger and yeah jumping around dodging is pretty good. I just dont get the shield system yet. Like I said i played mordhau and and all those types of games and my first reaction was always just throw my shield up if if its coming from above but barb seems to always just "get through" it
