The patch is decent enough, although the counters no longer exist, the duels do not become eternal, it focuses more on pblocking and on executing the best combos, everything has become mental rather than a mechanical game.

It is not the best patch, but at least it is better than the previous one.

No, I am so done with sabering being a focus. I spend that time doing actual work.

im not blaming you personally but i dont think it was adequately tested, it can't possibly have been given the fact that you literally can't counter properly.

This was the only goal, minor patch while waiting for bigger things to make it a little better.

Oh shush, you could have easily done the same as the others and tested it more yourself. You're just blaming everyone else who was actively testing it while even mentioning that you didn't understand how it worked.

Counters are not fully gone but you cant do them mid combos anymore. Just play enough to adapt and you'll enjoy it

Well, the idea was to do the bear minimum that could be done relatively quickly to improve the problems with the last build since finishing the next big patch has taken much longer than expected.

i know but it's buggy and clearly not intended is my point, i'm not saying for a minute this isnt better than instacounters but i'm just going to wait til bigger patch which hopefully will make me want to be active again

I'm glad you fixed the OP counters, even at the expense of not being able to time parry properly up close or atleast not as it used to be.
Other than that not sure how i feel about the PB nerf.
All in all it's a nice temporary fix and i'm glad you guys made one to begin with, however i'll probably wait this one out until the gud stuff happens =)

i for one i think they did something that was required and this is that, a quick fix.

It's intended and not a bug. It was tested thoroughly by a bunch of good duelists and you also tested it a couple of times. Stop it already...
i actually liked your original response lol but it could lead to pointless comebacks /complains.

Hey cool, updates. How about fixing flinch so saberists aren't so stupid over powered? But of course all you guys care about is dueling so this will never be addressed.
While I'm not super on board with the passive-aggressiveness this message, I do agree. Flinch (or lack thereof) really needs another look, saber v gunner balance is not in a great place right now imo.

It's kind of surprising that people are actually arguing in favor of being able to do stuff like counter with Red at any single point during a combo with not a lot of effort to land the hits..

100% agree, saw a thread not too long ago about the flykick whilst saber blocking thing, didn't realise it myself.
And as you guys mentioned flinch not seeming to work 100% of the time, it's pretty frustrating really.
Don't get me wrong, I love duel, but I do get bored of it and I feel like Open should get a bit of love, ya know what am sayin' mein?
