Parries Not Working

[Chadiwan Kenobi]

I've quite frequently had moments where I repeatedly press the parry button only for my Astartes to just stand still doing nothing while receiving a ton of hits. This happens even without him getting staggered. Random players I've had in my squad before also have had this happen.

Please fix this. It's really frustrating when the dude just refuses to do anything suddenly.

buddy you have to time the parry not just see blue and click, unless you have parry skills equipped then dont matter muc

btw check your melee if its block, balance, or fencing

...but yes...sometimes if there are a lot of the "larger" type mobs, specially tyranids and you push parry it just glitches out and your character just stands there lol....even with a weapon that says block it will still do the parry animation, you just can't get the perfect parry effect, you will still avoid the damage, but lot of the time it short staggers you backwards and then can get put into an infinite stagger loop and just die lol

Check your melee weapon if its on Balance, Fencing or Block

Block is, just block
Fencing has an extend parry window
Balance is something that can block and has a normal parry window.

just to note aswell, you CANNOT parry while doing some things like aiming/being in a "heavy stance" (in the case for heavy with its aiming down sight) you also cannot do it during certain heavy swing combos

[FromChaosTheory]

Your using a weapon that has "Block" as it's defense. The weapons have 3 defense types. Block will get you murdered everytime. Balance needs better timing for parry and fencing is just OP. Switch the weapon instantly level it up with a mastery point and never use block weapons again.

There is nothing to fix. Your just not paying attention to the game.

I know that. I'm talking about me just pressing the button repeatedly and it not registering. I wasn't getting staggered. I pressed multiple times before the hits landed. It wasn't me pressing .1s before I got hit. My dude was just legitimately standing still. I even changed the keybind, and I still have this happen.

Don't you have to use different variants in order to get mastery points?

You can infact just bypass the varients ENTIRELY by spending an extra armory data (must be the same level or higher as it), you still gotta use the weapon to actually gain its odd global xp though

No you can unlock them without using them with armoury data tokens, that way you can stick with your favourite, just means you have to do more collecting to be lazy :).

I think I was running into the same issue - been using fencing the whole damn time: for some reason now it feels like its responding differently. Like sometimes when I hit the damn button nothing happens

You are correct, if you watch you should lift your arm with your weapon to parry or block and you will notice that when you get smacked big time that your arm did not raise with your weapon because sometimes like you said and others are experiencing you press it and f all happens, it just does not register as a press.
