Is something weird with parries?

[[Slayer]]

Idk. Been missing a lot of parries since marching fire now. Normally I am on point with parries.

[you hurt my feelings, apologize]

I had issues when marching fire just released, but now I am hitting them normally again

Most of the Wu Lin have odd parry timings. Maybe it threw you off?

JJ's Heavies are pretty odd at the moment, their hitbox actually connects before his weapon makes contact with the enemy model, Highlander's side Heavies have had this oddity for a while as well.

Seems there are other players who have pointed this out at as well. Can you all share more detail as to what you are experiencing when trying to parry?

I've noticed that sometimes the red indicator on an attack either never get's big or is really late in getting big, on attacks like JJ's unblockables, Raiders area attack, and some other slow attacks are where I've noticed it happening.

The delightfull experience of when you're getting ganked attack markers will disappear like 50% of the time and if you decide to parry in that particular moment you are screwed. It's almost as fun as being ganked by any of the Wu Lin.

1. many of JJ's attack animations don't match with the hit indicator, the hit connects before the animation shows us so, making parry timing weird.
2. external hit indicator keeps on missing unblockable icon, making it impossible to time your dodge/parry when it happens.

Regarding blocking \ parrying in gangs: it often happens that I parry \ guard the first attack, but the attack of the next opponent successfully deals damage to me, although the animation of parrying \ guarding of the previous attack is still in progress.

I don't know what it is, but ever since Marching Fire, parries have felt really off to me as well. I never really had issues with them before. I notice it even more on Assassin classes (I don't deflect as much as I probably should) except Orochi for some reason

I had issues with JJ at first, but after playing him more, I've just gotten used to his weird delayed heavies. I don't really have a problem landing parries with him anymore as I've just gotten used to where the timing is. Kind of a reflex memory

But playing someone like Peacekeeper, for whatever reason, getting a parry is super hard compared to anyone else, when it should be the same. Playing a different class shouldn't change when the parry needs to go out

I have no idea how to even describe what is going on, it's just... weird and doesn't feel right compared to before

well, if you play berserker i´ts extreme in 1vs1´s. Sometimes if you parry with and in the perfect time, it don´t works !! and this is def. not correct. I have no idea why that so is. But i think it is a bug. Maybe devs can check this ?

[Ubiflowessence]

Thank you all for sharing this! Looks like the general consensus is that parrying/blocking is a little off. I'll add this to my report for the team!

If anyone else would like to share more details on their experience with parrying, please feel free to do so.

On FH forum someone from Ubi team confirm this issues after MF expansion. But i have problems with GB too. Enemy give me GB, i press GB to counter right how i see it and i cant counter it. And when i use GB, enemy use it after me and he dont counter it, he give me GB? I have green NAT, 10-15 ms latency and i rly cant react in time ...

Well since marching fire i've never missed 1 or 2 parries in a row except in my first 1-2 battles agaisn't wu lin's (specially nuxia) but after that i've even been able to parry some orochi zone attacks
