jumping zombie is broken

[UshankaMan]

i started a new game after buying it. i encountered this screaming jumping zombie that i must dodge when it flashes red. its easy to time and execute the dodges. however, the zombie ends up simply altering its course mid-air and hit me despite me dodging. ive ran multiple tests via multiple restarts. ive tried dodging when it flashes red, when it screams, when it jumps, and when its about to land on me. ive found that its completely random. there are times when i even managed to dodge twice, only to witness the zombie alter its course mid-air and hit me, despite me dodging TWICE
what the hell is going on?

same problem here, that zombie doesnt like physics

[Malthar]

thats not a problem with the dodge itself, its a problem with the zombie.

yes, i realized that after i proof read my comment.

Had the same problem. I swear I was dodging correctly.

[BennyRahma]

Encountered this as well as some enemies power attacks seem to lock on and dodging doesnt do anything

the banshee's lunge attack is the questionable feature not the dodge mechanic. you may want to change the headline. a fair solution would be to speed up the lunge while setting the tracking for only 2 milliseconds. and simply following through with its trajectory with a small AOE grapple attack at the end.

Try not to think about it, you only encounter it once at the start then never again. If you do, it's super rare and start to finish I only saw it once.

yeah I've seen them about 4 times throughout one playthrough. its usually houlers, spitters, goons, bolters and demolishers that you will find in the game.

didnt had any problems with this first jumpy dude...dodge when hes mid air not when he glows, worked fine for me, but thats 2 weeks of patches ago...also i never encountered these jumpy dudes again XD

The pounces in this game suck hard. They are wonky, often buggy (no windup-animation if used directly after a climb - really great on oneshot-volatiles) and too often come out of nowhere.
Wish the game would be harder - but with those pounces and other instant-hits, i guess it wouldnt be fun but frustrating.

I have the problem that my dodge somehow gets disabled while a banshee jumps at me.
I tried for 10min to perform a dodge. It never works when getting attacked, no matter the direction and I tried for so long that its AI broke. It just screamed at me from a distance, refusing to get any closer.

Honestly. I laughed cuz it was the ONLY power attack that can be interupted and is forced to use interupts over dodges XD

[UshankaMan]

i stopped playing the game even though i was in the middle of the last mission. i just didnt feel like playing anymore. the game overall just seems...less than DL1. im not sure if im the only one. but in DL1, ive finished the game along with DLC. this time i couldnt even finish the main story cuz i just didnt feel like i was having fun
