[MERGED] Parry Issue Fix

I think I’ve identified the issue with Parry. It seems it was a delayed reaction with the Ebony Maw buff, where he’s still subpar. I think another buff would fix the issue 🤓

You can see it happening to all the content creators during their diablo test videos. It's clearly very broken and Summer of Pain will have to be delayed as a lot of people waited for diablo buff to finish this week.

Can confirm. I thought my screen was just dirty at first, then after a solid cleaning of both my screen and my hands did I realize that something was broken. Wasted 5 duel credits when testing out Bishop due to dropped dexes and parries.

I didn't miss a single parry when I tried. I'm using a LG V60 current version of Android.

I also was randomly having parries not register. Normal timing was too late, got hit in the face again and again. iPhone XR, never have performance issues.

Was in the middle of a path that I'd already spent a bunch of units on and had to back out. I guess by this point I should know not to be in the middle of something important when I update, as there's a decent shot a core game mechanic breaks with each new release 🙄

Having the same issue during incursion, right after update. Wasted units for heals only to lose health the following matches.
Using iPhone X max iOS 14.6

It's more noticable when you're in mid range and do short combos dash back then parry, its like the short range medium attack is faster or the block animation is delayed.
The feeling is different from far dashes / cross screen medium attacks.

Yeah it’s definitely off, seems like entering block is slower than previously or something

I was finishing the side quest on epic in the last map. Took a 6* r1 Cable with Apocalypse synergy against Champion. Initial parry was fine, then four parries in a row didn’t register when trying to parry dash attacks. Thought the first time was my fault, then on the second I realised it wasn’t. Did the third and fourth to confirm.

This has been reported a lot in my alliance, and we’re tier 2 in war, so we at least like to think we can block alright usually.

The timing changed. In particular the trigger window was shortened. So if you are used to trigger parry quite shortly before getting hit it now is already too late. This changes the feeling of a fight completly.

Anyone attempted the Parry Tutorial with the Issue? It'd be Ironic if the very next Update after the Tutorial is added the whole system then changes...

Does anybody have any specific instances or examples of this? Videos would also be appreciated!

Here's a video of Kam MCOC experiencing the parry issue and making comments about it. It happens around 8:32 and 9:03. He mentions it feeling off at about 9:10 . He's part of the CCP. Maybe you should inquire with him.

Personally I think it’s far more fundamental than just parry. It feels like the characters are slow to react to all attacks, so parry reaction of your champ is slower. Dexing specials where the defender has multiple hits (tigra, Bwdo, carnage etc.) just feels sluggish. If you back away and tap to block multiple times you can see that the reaction time seems delayed. Parry is the main tactic for defence and requires precision timing, that is why it feels isolated to the parry function.

Interesting to see if any quake users are having issues with quake?

Hey everybody,

Want to confirm that we are investigating this on our end. If you have the time and the answers to the following questions, it could help us find the root of the issue.

When did parry fail when previously it wouldn't? Was it an early parry? a late parry?
What were the effects of parry failing? Did you get hit into the block? did you not block at all and get hit instead?
Did you see the character block before you took the hit?
Do these parry issues occur when you try to re-parry or the first-time parry?

Third_Things_Fifth

The timing has definitely changed, missed several parries in a row

1. Late parry, mid range between player and opponent.
2. Block did not come up at all, got hit
3. Wind-up animation of block started
4. First-time parry in mid range, re-parry seems fine(for now)

This has definitely happened to me today. At first I thought it was just me but it’s been happening way too much for it to be ‘just me’.

I’ll try and record a video if I can.

Watch Seatin's Bishop video. It happens to him a few times.

1. Can’t really comment on if it is an early parry or a late parry, I guess both? And parries from a distance when they’d dash were probably the most fluctuated for me
2. Every single time I’d get struck. Not into block. Just a flat out hit. was in act 7.2 and got knocked out 🥲
3. This one is a difficult one to answer. Occasionally. Sometimes (I was using colossus for example) I’d hold block and colossus would block, but then if I went for a parry, he just wouldn’t block. But sometimes he does block when I wanna go for a parry and then it looks like the opponent is unblockable or something. The problem is that it’s really inconsistent so it’s hard for me to exactly define what triggers it, or what the exact details are.
4. First time parry. Most of my reparry attempts landed, at least the ones that I would’ve gotten last update.

Sorry I can’t be of much help giving specificity. As mentioned, it’s a bit difficult due to the sporadic nature of what I’m experiencing.

Third_Things_Fifth

Same as everyone else is saying.
Not late but late-ish in the parry window
You get hit.
Doesn’t block
First time parry only.

Posting a vid now

Around the 6:10 mark of Seatin's bishop video, he comments on the missed parry. Also at the 10:20 mark again

1. Late Parry
2. Most of the time I got struck but I think one time I managed to block a hit
3. No
4. I was able to reparry sucessfully. It was usually the first-time parry that seemed off

I've had some dropped Dexes as well, where I'm holding block, the opponent dashes foward, I swipe back at the right time for a Dex yet my character stayed in its blocking animation and I absorbed the hit. For both issues, at first I thought it was just me, but it was happening far too often to be normal mess ups.

I’m having more issues with dexterity. But parry to

1.) Parry failed when I tried out Diablo in Realm of Legends, it was a early parry.
2.) I took a full combo to the face, I blocked the minute the defender dashed at me.
3.) No
4.) It’s seems random, parry seems to work on some occasions and fail on other occasions.
