[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 🤓

Seriously, I know you hate hearing it Kabam, but COMPENSATION should be considered.
I’m on a new iPad Pro and I’ve had zero issues other than the help button in arena freezing my game. This is unquestionably making arena, events and all challenges unplayable.
Oh, I can't find where we said there wouldn't be any...

Is this a very vague way of acknowledging that there is a problem? I haven't see any mods actually say there is an issue yet.

Don't really notice much difference for Parry but if I Parry and follow that right after with a Heavy sometimes instead of doing a heavy the character will dash back. This started to happen last night.

Good morning everybody.

Thank you all for the information you've provided. We're working on a few theories right now, and want to add 2 more questions to the list. We're trying to see if this helps us pick up any sort of pattern.

What device are you using?
Which Champion were you fighting? (If you can remember specifics)

Iphone Xs
All the champions

What are the plans for Aq that starts in 4 minutes and war that starts in a few hours

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?

1) Re-parry always fail for me, doesnt matter if is early or late
2) Get hit into the block
3) Yes, character was blocking, but i dont see animation between hits, i usually dont see character taking off cover when I release block, before tap it again.
4) For me normal parry seems to work, but re-parry ALWAYS fails

PD: Im playing on Android, using OnePlus 8T

Would like to help here!
Question 1 not sure what it means. I have a feeling that my parry timing is now a bit late, like if the parry window was anticipated compared to what I am used m to.

Parry fails and I get hit straight on the face.

I can't say if I see the character parry

It happens a lot on first parry. There is usually no chance of reparry because I get hit in the face.

Additional questions
Iphone 11 newest OS, newest game version
Dark hawk pwned my mags a lot on summer of pain, but I faced the same with colossus and fury in the epic side quest and overall through my arena grind today.

I hope it helps and you fix it within tomorrow. Today we have parry curse in AQ, so doesn't really matter

Just to keep everybody in the loop,

We do not have a concrete plan of action while we fix this issue right now, but we're actively discussing it. We know that AQ and AW, as well as content that just went live today is affected, and we're going to let you all know what the plan is as soon as we have something to share.

Keep an eye here for more information as it becomes available, and thank you all for your patience.

Starhawk

Hopefully your team evaluates thoroughly how much this has impacted players, this is essentially a basic function in the game being bugged and affects everything from solo questing to alliance content to arenas

I'm guessing they never noticed because so many champs now have unblockable they figured during testing it was normal for parry not to work

Team_Sly

Yes I’m experiencing the same issues, on iOS, go to parry and you just get melted. Please fix this ASAP.

Morpheus_123

No contingency plan at all, even though these bugs are as regular as clockwork. I’ll just auto fight the new EQs until fixed.

Xygon

It's not just parry is off. The timing is off, such that I go to evade, and get a parry instead. Everything timing-wise is just pushed back by about a ms.

AtomixX33

i only get the issue when fighting xl champs besides that everything is fine for me

iOS, new iPad Pro, and it has happened in RoL against WS and other champs, in AQ against Magik just now. Has happened to any champ I use.

yes i think you are correct. Sometimes my champion dashes back when i'm trying to throw a heavy and that started last night after the update

WayWorn2525

Totally killed in the side quest when parry doesn't work. Kabam are you going to give us an extra Club of Hephaestus? I'm not to spend units because the parry is all screwed up.

MikeTheMighty1

You should not have started AQ. It is infuriating to waste pots on failed AQ fights after all that spending this weekend.

LuisBvv

You need to make AQ and war potions free while this bug is up. Charging us money while your bugged game kills are champs is down right despicable. If you guys have any decency in you you will make all potions free until
This is fixed

LuisBvv

Lost my aegon on second fight in AQ on day 1 to this bug lol. Yep I’m sure I just suck that bad kabam

The_Blue_Jaguar

No problems here. Bad players just looking for an excuse.

Looking for an excuse for what, exactly?

No, this is a legitimate issue. No need to come out swinging with insults. It’s better to get information before blurting out.

Darindesh

First fight in Map 7 w/ “Prove Yourself” node. Would be nice to be able to block constantly to get a 15 hit combo.
I see it’s being looked into but you should have not even let AQ start today without it being fixed…

@Kabam Miike Please acknowledge that there is an issue here. It's not reassuring that you haven't done so yet.

Xygon

If I parry early, I get it. If I parry later, I get hit. If I evade late, I get a parry instead.

Evading Gwen’s unblockable s1 was impossible.

7x5 AQ35, usually itemless. I’m now two revives and three heals into day 1.

Ikthulis

It’s not just parry for starters, it’s dexterity as well. A number of times my champ just doesn’t move. I’ve experienced this like 7-8 times in AQ just now. It’s costing me lots of items and eventually I’ll run out. Considering I’m doing map7 and I’m having trouble on my first path, my alliance won’t be too happy with me. Unblockable specials from Vision(sp1) and Bishop(sp2) are killing me. Often dexterity turns into a parry, I don’t understand it. Can’t parry an unblockable special with my champs. It feels like the timings are just a pinch off, too early.

“When did parry fail when previously it wouldn't? Was it an early parry? a late parry?“

I would assume on time parry, possibly late.

“What were the effects of parry failing? Did you get hit into the block? did you not block at all and get hit instead?”

No blocking at all.

“Did you see the character block before you took the hit?“

No, I did not see my champion block. I can’t record my fights so, if it does, I can’t see it.

“Do these parry issues occur when you try to re-parry or the first-time parry?“

Both.

I’m using an iPhone XR if that is relevant.

Please also look into the dexterity issue. I swear it’s got to be the same issue.

Just ignore trolls like that. ‘Me belly full, so impossible anyone anywhere in the world is hungry’.

I can't imagine what would happen if there was a problem with unstoppable. Finding a needle in a needlestack...

This is the most infuriating thing about this game and Kabam. People including myself dropped massive amounts of money for this game and this is the **** we get to deal with day in and day out.

Its like Kabam hasn’t learned anything from a year ago…🤔🤔🤔
