It doesnt matter what direction you have the shield as you can still turn the mouse in any direction You can also change it that blocking doesn't happen with the mouse but with the directional keys in the settings as well. meaning that the direction of the shield or weapon will be in the direction you are moving. If you are walking left it will block to the left, walking forward will block forward. Maybe try that? LIke i have mentioned place the THird person camera distance further back so you can see more of what you are doing it will help you
How cant they? if you are playing a pc game with one hand and using a mouse and keyboard well good luck to that. Less fingers? You realize IN WARBAND you still needed to put the shield up anyway to block right. so how is it they cant move to the right a little or left. You don't technically need to DIRECTIONALLY BLOCK you just PUT YOUR SHIELD IN THE WAY. MOVE YOUR FEET. Pull the third person Camera back in the settings so you can see more of what you are doing. Change the shield block to something else and move around you can remap your buttons
you have all these problems you realize they make special controllers for stuff like this right. look up Microsoft and their ambitious controllers for those disabled. perhaps something you should look into buying for yourself so you can learn how to play. Do you play First person shooter games? if so how do you do it with all the commands and everything you need to follow? One hand controls your characters hips and WSAD controllers your feet. . you need to hold up your shield anyway in WARBAND to block you cant move your mouse at the same time? give me a break.
So learn how to block, its that damn simple. Why not go message Epic or activision and tell them that you want HOMING bullets in Their shooter games in campaign because you are terrible at aiming and shooting at the same time. you cant do both its too hard. See what they say there.
You can do the same damn thing with a sword, you also realize that sword is nowhere near as effective as a shield. your character has many parts that can be hit and take damage. Head, shoulders, legs, feet. arms. forearms. all these parts can be hit. YOu trying to block someone swinging at y ou with a sword and expecting it to block every single time? learn to turn your body. The AI is designed to try and hit you not like Warband AI where they just run at you at swing, turn down the combat difficulty for AI and then you may have a chance. but auto blocking really?
Me saying it wont get out of EA is based on the assumption that reviews tank and they cant salvage the game because they cany recoup the finances to do so. Ever Since NMS more and more people rely on Reviews to judge whether a game is good or not. Majority of forum users will probably get the game in EA, however there are also other players that are waiting for the FULL release instead of EA and then there are those that will want to try it but be deteried because of crappy reviews on steam it all adds up
Obviously you miss the exact point i am saying. Those games were for sure a mess when they came out at full launch. you missed that point completely. that's the comparison i was comparing it too. Games take time to become good. Heck man R6 siege is in its 4th year and they are still tweaking and balancing stuff. I get the fact everyone has been waiting 8 years but it seems all anyone wants to do is just ahrp how its not what they remember when it comes to combat. and again remember its a BETA boys and girls and BETA for MP
or you can go into detail. sometimes when i shield bash someone it looks like it goes right through their head, is that suppose to happen? or should i report that as a bug? what about arrows going through peoples legs? like were the legs open at this moment in time? or did my ping behind to high not render what i was seeing properly?
Positive feedback tells the devs that they are doing something right. like have you never studied anything before?? Positive feedback can be constructive too. i.e.. hey taleworlds the shield bashing you added is much more balanced and worth having in the game now, thank you for implementing it. although it needs just a little bit more work.. sounds positive and constructive doesn't it, its a miracle
Go to the forums on feedback and tell me how many posts are about complaints?? go ahead dont worry ill wait. and then count all the ones where they are praising? Most feedback isn't positive. its about whats wrong with the game, what someone doesn't like. its plain and simple most people that enjoy a game for how it is don't truly always bother to say something regarding it because they don't see a need for a change.
Directional Shield blocking is in the beta. have you not played it in awhile?? When you are Blocking to the right someone can swing to your left side and do damage. Certain shields can be used to block up, left, centre, and right.
One of the issue with forum posting and hopes that the devs see one person stuff and change it all is that those that are angry will ALWAYS POST WHAT PISSES THEM OFF ABOUT THE GAME. Most people that enjoy what they have done and added dont post, you know why? because they are enjoying the game? 9/10 times if they do they just say great game keep up the good work, look forward to more. but those that cant handle it will always post and say its bad, and its ****, and its not worth playing
