I need the story behind this.
It's definitely one of my old favorites. Thanks.
Always felt bad for the kid. Although at least he has a knight helmet.

I think i need to get in the habit of doing this because as a Nobushi I am always get caught in a chain of attacks where the opponent alternates stances between each strike.
I see the indicator push in the direction but am always too late, etc etc.

So what does it mean for rankings and records when someone leaves before the match officially ends in a duel?
Because I've just had this happen twice in a row. Is it essentially counting as bot kills?

Records already take into account matches vs. AI.
For the purposes of contracts, if you enter a PvP match and an enemy gets replaced by a bot it still counts as a PvP kill and a PvP match.

So glad I rented it. I thought it looked like a lot of fun. It's just a mess. Gameplay, menus, server issues, the time it takes to get into a match despite the lack of any skill/gear matching. I'm sure the people who enjoy the one on one modes are having a better time.

I'm at an 87% win rate in Dominion.
Game is fun but damn I keep wrecking people.
Only gets funky with the servers when people start rage quitting. They need to implement a punishment system for leavers.

I had this problem for a while, seems to have really cleared up now. Can play all modes and rarely drop.
Only advice I can give (may not even work) powerdown and unplug all of your internet gear. Leave it off for a couple hours. It was probably just a coincidence but you never know, fixed things for me.

Hmm wasn't expecting that. Nice. So what's the point of quitting right after the final kill? Just rage? Or does it save their record somehow even though you get the PVP win?

How do you guys deal with side stepping berserkers?

I just always be ready to parry left or right, now that I know about that attack I can do it just fine now. The tricky parry I find is when they feint it and change sides... now that sucks.
This game is difficult. I'm not much for fighters though. I played it at my friend's place earlier. He made it look easy, I hopped into a few matches and got destroyed. I could barely beat a bot at level 2.

No shame there. Level 2 bots don't mess around.

Yep. I don't even need to go MP. The Bots are ridiculous. I set up a 99 round match and I just can't beat that Knight with the mace and shield.
Dear lord, that blade is wonderful.

The RPG systems were a mistake. Dominion is my favourite mode but the RPG systems are a huge problem as people equip legendary and epic gear. It's off putting for new players, character experimentation and also offers a number of ridiculous builds that devalue the gameplay mechanics.
I don't want to fight someone who can throw me twice the distance, I don't want to fight someone who can come up behind me and deal half of my health, I don't want to worry about playing new characters because they don't have gear.
I definitely see value in progression systems for promoting long term player engagement, but I don't personally think the current RPG system are the right approach.

Is it better to be stationary? I think I made things harder for myself by trying to out spin them as an Orochi lol.
Agree, I would love for the gear to only be cosmetic OR offer the amounts of stat differences from the lower lvl gear.
Everyone will have maxed gear in 2 weeks, dont see the problem.

With one character.
COD style unlocks aren't good for a fighting game. Fighting games need balance, not randomness.
Is there gear shit in Duels?

If they rely on it often, just be ready to parry it. Step up to them and just wait it out. Use lights to fill the gap. It's a telegraphed move, you should be able to parry it on reaction and punish accordingly. Those assassin sidesteps are good moves when used in the right situations, but easily punished.

Well that's good. I guess having gear in one mode is fine.
On another note, Bots are fucking gdlk. I've been practicing in 1 v 1's with bots, and been getting my ass kicked.

Overhead feint into guard break gets me every...damn...time. And I think it has worked every time I've used it too.
Revenge is silly. I started playing poorly at the end due to laughing so hard, but I must have been involved in the deaths of 9 people due to Revenge / knowing I couldn't be interrupted during Revenge and managing to accidentally Parry people attacking from the side.
Not even gear 108 yet, just low 80's, and the difference is apparent.

Still, I've been grouped with non-Rep 1 people and we wiped entire groups of Rep 2+ people, so gear isn't *everything*, but still...

Hit social button (Y/Triangle), go to emblem then click square/x on the one you wish to edit. I don't know PC controls.
Awesome, thanks!

Yep. I can lose to anyone who can hit me twice, since I have max gear with 0 defense, traded with full atk and stam instead. Being good is mostly just knowing how to play.
Gear having stats is proving to be an remarkably poor decision. The idea is well-meaning I guess -- plenty of people love progression mechanics. But this system has no place in a game that puts so much emphasis on mechanical skill-based PVP. It's completely unwelcome.
*Everyone who plays 10 hours a day. Those of us who don't play video games like they're a job will be hard pressed to have a single geared character in two weeks. I'm level 12, prestige zero right now, for reference, which is already making dominion a no-fly zone for me.

What's a bummer is the gear issue extends to all 4v4 modes not just Dominion. Like... Why?!
I love this game a lot, absolutely hooked on it but I've mostly been leveling up through the 1v1 and 2v2 modes because they're 100% based on skill. While it's true that you can definitely take down a higher geared player with skill it doesn't make the issue any less frustrating. The sight of the match up screen alone can be demoralizing for players to see. It's like PvPing in vanilla WoW wearing dungeon blues while up against someone in Grand Marshal stuff.

Lol orochi players. Dude's on the winning side of a 3v1, I poke him once, and he rolls away and runs back across the map to heal. Same guy later runs up and stabs me from behind when I'm fighting his buddy. I push his buddy off a ledge, hit the orochi, and he rolls out and runs away. Finally I catch the guy alone, I parry two of his attacks and he alt-f4's.

I wonder what the chances are that they make a separate playlist for gear and without. I love dominion but the gear stuff is completely uninteresting to me. It's what eventually put me off from Destiny and it'll keep me from messing with dominion in this. I don't find the grind fun at all.
