Parry is still in the game?

[Bait]

Though most of you are saying to yourselves "there's something other than leap-at!?"...

Parry used to be useful, before there was an attempt to fix the bug that caused crashing by holding en-guard.

Was a warm-up really the answer? Was it a half-assed attempt at solving a problem? I understand we aren't allowed to have nice things, but why leave the skill in the game if it's become essentially useless in combat?


I'd like to use this thread to actually discuss parry/en-guard and possible ways to achieve the desired result of fixing the crash bug, while maintaining the effectiveness of parry.

Ideas?

I believe in Jorb and Loftars God Powerz to fix this. Giev us a useful Parry back!

RIP Parry.

RIP kambetrz.

Lets all go back to spamming leap at and thrust because they are the only useful moves in PvP.

RIP having options and complexity in PvP.

Give en garde a small cooldown before u can turn it off. Feels so clunky right now that u can interrupt your own engarde cast by clicking to move.

Should only be able to attack while in a stance

[Jalpha]

Should not be able to attack, just flap hands to create a bit of a breeze so other characters know you are angry with them.

[Bait]

Should remove en-guard, and just have parry be a move like everything else. Nobody uses en-guard except to toggle in to parry anyways, assuming they've not got leap-at hotkeyed to everything but the key thrust is on.
