    Adapt.
    They aint doing jack about this one.
    They are aware of this, the devs play the game too, so they know.
    This should be on their number 1 priority but it's not.

    Don't go for medium intercepts. Try to go for lights and pray.

    What's next dont do lights , don't parry , Don't dex , just sit there a nd pray you can win , attuma will be the goat on attack if this turn true lol.
    You pray, followed by Don't pay.
    I already don't pay so that's a check , don't want to pray tho

    Sorry that’s a terrible take. This is a bug that’s beyond unsatisfactory. Them not even putting it on the trello board has a lot to do with current dissatisfaction.

    Your advice isn’t all that helpful either as the AI is almost immune to back drafts now or is fast enough to punish a light whiff with a medium anyways.
    It was a backhanded comment.
    Kabam is busy counting thier greens.

    My advice is quiet helpful tho.
    When nothing works, 'PRAY'
    Fair enough then lol

    They are 50 50 now. And I have mastered intercepting, was super frustrating with Ares. And we still haven't received our bug potions

    Funny because light intercepts have also become much much riskier since the AI started throwing out their light attacks to counter.

    Medium intercepts clearly failing, the defenders will just phase through/ get priority when clashing dashes.

    It gets even funnier when you consider the war map revamp basically adding more stunning reflection, immunity, etc. So don't parry, light intercept, or medium intercept. Got it.

    Here's what's funny.. I go into practice mode to do a few test duels/warm ups before AW.. flawless, super smooth gameplay..inputs and animation feel perfect! Go directly into the AW map and begin my assignment.. game becomes total trash instantly 😂 (this is not a "I died and I'm salty" rant.. didn't die, but it sure was scary a few times and cost me potions)
    It's like.. in a game mode where it matters most - the game is nearly unplayable.. but go into practice mode - perfectly smooth 🙃
    Ever notice this? Wth is that about? 😂

    100%.. light intercepts are no longer as safe as most players suggest
    I always actually preferred medium intercepts, but yes.. you actually have to read the defenders input before execution on a medium.. can't try it blindly or you're rolling the dice
    But now, yeah.. even perfectly timed is rolling the dice

    Another forum user finally managed to get a more drastic version of the issue on record, I'll be leaving the link to that post here

    This intercept bug has been happening for the past couple months and Kabam refuses to acknowledge it at all. I don’t know why this whole board isn’t filled with posts about it. Should be every post till it gets fixed.

    It's a major bug that has to get fixed ASAP.

    It makes me to stay away from certain game modes. I just wanted to take on my 2nd Epoch path but decided to stop when Cassie hit me multiple times on my intercept which I should have landed.

    Intercepting is 100% broken right now. This happens to me very often
  • TheAngryOneTheAngryOne Member Posts: 505 ★★★
    So I just watched one of Lagacy's recent videos and guess what? It also happened to him.

    He's getting wrongly intercepted at the 03:00 minute mark.

    Looking back at this thread…I think of all the times I wanted to throw my phone thinking I was dead certain my intercept timing was spot on.

    The April build is supposed to address at least part of this in theory, according to Dave.

    Broader query is how this gets handled beyond a “sorry guys.” It’s most costly for me in AW—hefty dose of non-expiring pots there would be great. Precise quantification is probably an impossible task, meaning a blanket package is most likely.

    Other modes…not so sure how to provide a remedy. Any thoughts?

    Happens every war.
    And they also took away my precious loyalty to buy pots from LNY.

    Okoye who had a bug allowing her to dex Photon specials when she in pure light form. That gets fixed immediately upon her release into the live server. 🫠
