[bug]Bastard sword

[Tintin]

I was playing as Swadia with a bastard sword and I can't seem to block upwards. Anyone else noticed this?

I have noticed that the upward parry seems weird. It didn't always appear to come out for me. I think I was still able to parry overhead attacks. I'll pay more attention in the future.

I use the bastard sword a lot, and I've never noticed this.

When you say 'can't', do you mean it's unusually difficult or you cannot do it at all, ever?

I am going to test it when I get home from work.  I always use these swords and if it is bugged, than it is only in this version.  Admittedly I don't recall many people using the overhead attack at me (which would require me to block this method).  I am pretty sure I recall the Heavy Bastard Sword blocking properly though.

Today is the first time i've used the bastard sword in this patch and I couldn't do it at all

Edit: Maybe it was lag? Sometime when I attack I can't see the movement but it still damages the enemy. I'll test it once Wallace and Gromit is finished

Claymation freaks me out.    Dunno why....maybe I had a childhood dream of being molestered by Gumby.

Some of the animations do seem to be messed up. It may have something to do with the fact that the developers are sort of cramming a lot of animations into a limited input. I've had that same thing where I don't see my attack animation, but it still hurts the enemy.

For some reason that only happens the other way for me . I get hit by invisible attacks, but I don't hit anyone with it.

Played on benedicts just five minutes ago with the bastard sword, and it blocks upwards, no problem (for me).

Tomorrow i'll try with my other mouse. I leave now

make sure your in manual block. I've had the same problem when I'm on a server that does only auto block and the animation screws over for some reason.
Your still able to block the upper chamber however, so its unable to be exploited.

I played with Sirfallstaff some days ago, and he couldn't block upwards either, though it only lasted about 5 min or so.

 

[omzdog]

does that mean he couldn't counter upper chamber? There is a difference if the animation doesn't show and if he can't block completely.

For the record, both bastard swords were working fine tonight when I tried.

I'm out most of the day but when I return(if I remember) I'll hop on warband

Edit: Got on Warband today. Made sure it was a manual block server. Now all the block directions are messed up. I can only block down and to the left and only when I try blocking up or to the right
