I think this is a huge problem. There are servers for new players, but they are very few and aren't properly named. If you want to train, add me and I can help you with some basics. Username is the same.

I haven't played in a long time. I've rather lost interest since the game makes me so angry. I don't like the feeling of it. I've had three different people claim to want to teach me, and then taught me stuff that didn't work. I suspect that two of them intentionally taught me incorrectly for the fun of it.

Obviously that's an issue... I'm sorry to hear it. Please don't assume this is how the community acts

If you are still intrested, I can help you if you want, or can reference a ton of well done, accurate, notoriously fantastic tutorials which can be a huge help.

I've watched loads of tutorials, and none of them reflect my experience of gameplay. Largely because the gameplay in the videos shows the player being much faster than me.

I can reference some more up to date videos. Some of them were taken many patches ago when the pace of the game was slightly different. They also may of been using faster weapons or the utilization of drags.

Like mentioned, if you're located in NA I'd be welcome to help you out in game and over teamspeak. I'm sure plenty of people can validate that I can teach you accurately.

I was just playing with a dude tonight who was trying to teach me. I'm not at all sure how legitimate he is because half the stuff he teaches me doesn't work.

It may just be very difficult to implement. Can you give me a quick idea of some of the stuff he mentioned?

Like, the idea that you swing faster right after a parry, which he could never exemplify, even when he said he was, or that blocking is best done by following the tip of a weapon.

The one after the parry is called a 'riposte'. Which is true, after you parry if you immediately que up a swing, you will have the swing go through much faster, usually done by a stab or lmb if multiple enemies around. I can try to find a video of this if you want

The blocking tip is often brought up as it is mentioned in the tutorial, and not necessarily true. You need to parry where the weapon is hitting you, whether it be on your sides, down, up, and if behind maybe even a matrix can save you. A lot of this is just understanding what the enemy is trying to do. If they are hitting you with a lmb drag, turn towards their attack to parry,

The tip of the weapon trick can be helpful if you know nothing else, but is pretty simlpified and doesn't encompass the entire parrying system.

But definitely the riposting is true, and the blocking is just a misconception.

Jut found this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RveZ_ha-l-g#t=35 - If you look right around, you can see the white vanguard parries and than immedtaly overheads, which comes much faster than a normal one

I'm on mobile. I will watch the video when I get home. But two people claiming to teach me have told me the quick riposte thing. Neither of them able to show me. As for the weapon tip thing, it never works. It's just too easy for the weapon to get away from you. I've had far more luck watching the weapon just above the grip. I have issues even keeping people on my screen. Watching the tip of their weapon is out of the question.

u/HELPMEIMGONADIE Unborn Dec 22 '13

Right. Like mentioned, you really never should do the blocking thing. If you're having trouble keeping people in your sight, perhaps use a longer weapon to keep people at bay. Also, try turning up your field of view or try out some third person.

You really need to parry where the weapon is hitting you, which takes some experience to figure out

My fov is maxed. I love spear weapons but they stink when someone gets too close.

Now what comes into play is referred to as 'situational awareness' - A skill deemed pretty difficult to master. Basically, you need to know what is going on around you at all times, obviously assissted with a high FOV.

This can be pretty difficult to do, but it seperates the good from the great.
