1.82 first part released

[Flimgoblin]

agreed.
I mean. a tank is already hard to take down (and 2h hurts big time)
which will make tanks go FoTM and r0x0r every1 with 2h weaps

heaven forbid people actually able to use reactive styles in RvR rather than strafing like monkeys trying to get off some behind-left-ear positional styles.

 

[Puppet]

Yeh lol be able to land ultimate recovery versus mercs with decent parry for example whereas atm its almost unviable as they have already done 2-3 hits before your next swing. 9 sec stun followed by devastate, ouch! Its a good change for 2h users, might mean less reliance on shield which is not good vs dual wielders with high evade.

U could always land Ultimate Recovery pretty reliable, Tuo

Because the style would land if YOUR last attack was parried. So its not depending on swing-speed of your enemy, but just 'your next style'. Atleast thats how it worked when I played champ.

 

[Mabs]

i thought polearms highest hitting style was defenders rage and request you to be hit by a style or do it still tricker if you evade/parry?

yes it is, reactionary off "opponent styles"

tho even with a 3 second window, using a 5.8 or 6spd weap you going to have to time it right

 

[Chronictank]

cant they change the fucking style animation or color trail of blinding rain already? QQ.

took them 3 yrs to fix 2 styles on zerker so dont look good

 

[Aadia]

I wonder what they mean with Albion and Hibernian players can once again activate eoy?

As in, suppose you destroyed your eoy and get a new one?
Or your existing eoy you can re-activate to a new one?

 

[Kagato]

Such a WoW ripoff though, Works like that kinda there

Have fun vs those polearm users stealthers

Guess Sir Kagato will like that change

If it works like I interpret it then yeah it'll be nice and might help me get my best styles out slightly more often.

But to be honest, i've never found it that difficult to get the right openings in the first place and its still going to be just as easy to evade ,block, parry etc.

Besides the idiotic armsmen TL is screwing up the DR style in his next report anyway and going to end up getting it nerfed eventually no doubt

 

[Straef]

the 3 second reactionary thing is gonna make it alot easier for slow weapon users to pull off reactionaries. i.e. polearm/LW/2-Handed etc etc. no longer will fast weapon users be able to benefit from being able to pile another hit on right after they been evaded to avoid reactionaries being used on em.

Wish they'd do the same for positionals I had a mighty hard time getting anything off last night, mainly due to lag :< And hey, if it weren't for my shit parry rate, I might actually get stun off \o/

I would be more concern about the bannings for /rofl animation in 1.80 xD

Oh joy on us I can spam it on noobs. GoA

Hah, loved that animation Only thing making US servers worthwhile xD

 

[Chimaira]

The bannings will be heavy when /rofl is released on EU I hear from strong sources xD
