Parry is broken

Reem

I can't get the timing for parry at all. Did they ulter it during the new update or is this another bug?

Just because you send me a link about what kabam has "fixed" doesn't mean I'm not having a serious issue. I've been gaming for a year and I've never complained on forums but this is a serious issue that shouldn't be sweeped under the rug...

It feels like they changed the timing of when the opponents attack lands.

I can't time Dexterity. I always get hit, so I don't use it. (still have it)

Parry been broke for awhile. It's a hit and miss thing now. Different opponents have different timing for parry from what I've found but it's also impossible to parry Everytime now. It's not a game breaker, just a slight annoyance.

Parry is broken, nebula triggering shocks on well timed blocks but not parry is testament and proof of this.

Yet again, we're needing to re-learn how to play a game we've been playing for months (or years). This is getting really old.

Make it consistent. Well-timed blocks that would trigger parry two days ago, don't trigger it now.

I can't help but wonder if this is deliberate on Kabam's part. As players get better, it doesn't matter what types of buffs/debuffs they put on the node, we'll beat it. So instead of buffing the AI more, they "nerf" the player through the controls.

It's like changing the gear ratios and steering wheel sensitivity in a race car because the driver was getting too good. Make him re-learn how to drive instead of building a more challenging race course. Eventually, the driver will just say ****-off and stop racing...

Parry works better for me but I feel your pain. It was absolute garbage prior the update for me.

yeah it's actually much better for me now!

Exact same thing has been happening for me. I’m able to parry the shock but they don’t stun seems like half the time. I haven’t used Nebula regularly so I wasn’t entirely sure if that was the case or not. Any info on this @Kabam Miike @Kabam Wolf

I've been playing almost 2 years and this is the worst I've seen parry tbh

You people that are saying parry works better, can you clarify what you mean? I agree that parry works better after a 5 hit combo. But for me at least, it seems like parry is the most inconsisnt I have seen it...ever

I other words, when I parry dash attacks, it’s realy inconsistent on whether they will trigger

This. The ability to parry a dash attack is insanely inconsistent.

They ruined parry in the update. Listed as “fixed” in updated issues. Means we have to re-learn the game once again...as isn’t it hard enough. The whole timing is off & the entrance is a mess as AI doesn’t get parried as often

Parry & block are beyond f*****g broken! Don't promise to fix something in an update, if the update is only going to worsen it more! This has turned into the damn Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! We go on for endless months of faulty & bugged updates, with fixes of this & that promised to us, with nothing being done. You guys should really be ashamed of yourselves! Smh

It is working as intended. And by intended I mean the game intends for you to spend money on revives and potions due to faulty game mechanics.

Is parry broken...or are we broken? Think about it, every 1-2 months the game is completely changes so we can't get used to it sometimes. Imagine that happening every 1-2 months since 12.0. There's barely a flow till we get hit with another game breaking bug, ruining the flow we had, now we gotta find it again, but now when we're just getting used to it, BOOM another game breaker.
(Obviously parry is weird right now, I just wanted to make a cool start for my comment lol)

MarzGroove

Haven’t noticed a change in parry or block timing since 12.0.

medium attacks are basically stun immune now.
