i pushed to the side on the spear, NOTHING

Is something ever going to be done about the shitty player balance and the lack of accuracy? I get that the game needed to be more difficult but taking away all player fine control just made the game frustrating honestly. Certain weapons are still completely unusable (half of the daggers, literally all of the polearms except spears, 1 handed maces)...
cinder harbor
idk the billhook is pretty good
crimson compass
The billhook completely leaves your hands if you swing it too far...
And then he doesn't even try to grab it, you have to walk back into the weapon to get him to grab onto it again
Trying to switch to halfsword stance with it takes 3-4 seconds because it just floats in the air instead of your character grabbing it
If the new balancing philosophy of the game is just take away player agency and give the bots better weapon handling/balance than we can have then it really seriously ruins the experience for me. Difficulty should be increased through other means, like actually making the bots more challenging to fight.

Maybe i should rephrase
swinging downwards feels way more smooth compared to swinging from the side
full pier
yeah bcuz they usually arent
random flume
on anything except maybe the beeg hammer
full pier
it just means the swing is smoother
random flume
I really enjoy the feel of slow side swings with the axe
they're def not made for quick slashes, but a slow swing still has a ton of power
full pier
ive tried slowing down with the swings, and while it made a difference, it still just feels off somehow
Like i couldve gone better using a hammer, sword, or like a halberd
random flume
my go to with the axe is either the louisville slugger special, just line up a good side swing to the head and watch that thing fly
or half sword and just charge like a rabid dog

i'd be lucky not to impale myself on their sword if i tried the 2nd strat lol

realistic doesnt always mean fun for most games

random flume
i just kind of want the game to not be overly difficult
I dont find it super difficult baseline atm

i feel like its mostly Ultimate Challenge tho
the baseline can be a little weird at times, but can consistently feel pretty good
random flume
ultimate challenge is an unbalanced and unfun mess and I'm not gonna pretend otherwise, but I love the rest of the game lol
and it's literally just the fault of the tweaked damage thresholds
random flume
since all those do is remove 3 of the 5 main ways to incapacitate an enemy
full pier
kind of foot soldier fighting instead of being in a full suit
full pier
altho running around in a full knight armor set with a big hammer is fun
random flume
cause it's almost always a duel to first blood in that case
full pier
with no armor but longswords
yeah thats also fun
random flume
and I find it to have a much higher skill ceiling than the other gamemodes
like I've actually used real swordfighting stances to great effect
full pier
ive tried actual stances but i think i might not have it down or smth
random flume
fools stance my beloved
full pier
bcuz i'll try a guard and move to block, but then they just clip me and it feels like i didnt do much to prevent it lol
always fun to actually block an attack tho
random flume
when doing an actual guard and not relying on autoparry its pretty tough without slowmo
it's more about prediction than anything
and swinging into willy's strike and comboing into a counterattack
I also find that a stab into a parry gives you a little extra reach and allows you to be proactive with knocking aside the sword
and is generally safer cause you can back off on a failure
occasionally ill get sparks from a parry and then i can die happy
