Bayonet up-stab goes through blocks

[DJPenguin]

twice so far today I've had a bayonet's up-stab go right through my block, was using a sword for both occasions. and it's not a case of latency, this happened when i've had block up held down for a good 2 seconds or more.

Is it possible that the person who attacked you stepped slightly to the left or right when they attacked? This would make it a side-step which is often used to by-pass blocks but is not a bug. Not saying that it was, just a possibilty.

not in the one incident at least, where we were running directly at each other with me anticipating the block as he was just prepping his attack for a good 2-3 seconds and it still went through.

It's possible that you lost sync with the server and you were actually blocking another direction. (This happens, call it bad luck)

I have it to.
I think I have the largest variation of this, because when I block it goes after two seconds to another direction (no auto-block), and when that happen in melee im so good as dead.
Also people say when I died like "fail block" and I saw on my schreen I blocked good.
But anyways I think its my bad connection.

It's simple, if you block up and the enemy attacks, you have to hold the right mouse button until you hear the sound, if you release it 1 millisecond earlier even if the animation shows the correct blocking direction the game counts like you're not parrying anything.

It's not fail block, it's people releasing rmb too early.

when it happened to me i asked the other dead players if they saw me blocking up as well in which they all replied yes it appeared that way for them too.

and it's not a matter of releasing block too early.
