People are overreacting. The person who posted the video detailing how to perform the ghost strike (saberXmachine) fought a really good Estoc Turtle I know while using ghost strikes with a Silver Knight Spear. They went 1-1. If this tech doesn't completely shut down a build so reliant on its shield, then it shouldn't be that much of a problem in the grand scheme of things.Forum Pirate wrote:they're dead angles, can they be parried?
Also, spear r1+dead angle= not ok. seriously, screw that noise. i really hope i'm not needing to explain why.
In addition to this I'm glad this tech was discovered (aside from some nasty things that can be done when combined with some other glitches that I will not discuss). Blocking is ridiculous in this game. It is far, far, FAR too easy to control when you can and can't be hit.

As fat rolling isn't a very reliable way to dodge quick weapons I can see weapons like katanas and spears becoming very dangerous for fat rollers with this exploit.
Also I can imagine TWoP + this being a dangerous combo.

Another exploit...
I'm not even going to bother with PvP soon, this is becoming ridiculous.
Why can't people just play the game the way it was intended?
Attacking through shields with strength weapons was bad enough, but now almost every weapon can pull it off.
Well better start planning my builds without shields now.
RIP DkS pvp

Wilk I haven't even played with a shield in pvp since I found out dead angles aren't even actual dead angles

I believe I'd had this used against me a few times before.Still doesn't affect me,I just dashboard when the bullcrap starts anyway.
If you want to kill a turtle player just backstab them,no need to cheat.

I don't like it and won't use it but I will learn to fight it. This just strikes me wrong to use and I won't even bother being nice if anyone uses it on me. I'll just two-hand kill you.
Also slint how is what Krazy said both funny and sad?

Needing to be unlocked negates a lot of this technique's usefulness with the more annoying weapons (i.e. spears).
Like others have said, if you're not AFK or a complete turtle pansy, this won't cause more than a tiny ripple in the PvP waters.
Carry on, nothing to see here folks.

This will give you no clear advantage during a match. Period. Come on people.

unless you mid roll and cannot dodge effectively. that does happen. at least with regular dead angles the longer weapons could be turtled, if they're doing that, its not so much the case

I don't get the outrage I see on this forum when I (rarely) stop in for a look...
Most people here are seasoned PvPers... If you can deal with dead angle WoGs, this is cake. I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like this would make it EASIER to roll BS punish.

Yeah my thought exactly. After you see an opponent do this once, I think it would be easy to bait and punish. You may not even need to eat the first one to realize that you opponent is using this technique, since the pivot causes the attack to be slightly delayed.SATLOS wrote:Agreed.TooLeet wrote:This will give you no clear advantage during a match.

*Sigh...* Because katana's aren't already OP now are they?
I know in the video he's against a stationary target, but it still doesn't look that hard to do; just flick the left analog stick back and forth at the right moment. With practise, I could imagine someone being able to do this pretty consistently. In the face of being able to completely nuffily blocking, dark magic + TWOP seems pretty reasonable.
And before anyone says about how easy it is to punish, its the principle that really matters. A glitch that allows the user to ignore one of the game's core mechanics is unacceptable.
Hopefully, since DkS2 is running on a new engine, silly things such as this won't be a problem anymore.

Like said before backhop or roll. No problem really because there's even a little more time for it. Then as he misses, punish. I'm no good at parrying in PvP, but someone who is with a parry shield will punish this even harder.
Moving on with nice clean fun on PC, just finished 3 hours of almost backstab-free(once) and exploit free random Sl100 invasions in PW, Kiln and Oolacile. Ok, there were 2 turtles.
Still super rarely that I encounter something fishy.

People use them because they can do decent damage fast. They are a very easy weapon to learn and be good at. Plus, they have the cool factor of being a long sharp blade that tears through flesh.Shakie666 wrote:If the number of people using them is anything to go by, yes.TooLeet wrote:Katana's are OP? lolwut.Shakie666 wrote:*Sigh...* Because katana's aren't already OP now are they?
A lot of people using them does not mean they are OP. That means every common weapon in PvP is OP. Including spells, miracles, pyro, and hell, even items. At least by your logic.
Alas, nothing in the game is OP besides DWGR. Which there is no arguing against that.

Players with katanas are aggressive. Especially with a buff. Sit back then use it to your advantage.Shakie666 wrote:If the number of people using them is anything to go by, yes.TooLeet wrote:Katana's are OP? lolwut.Shakie666 wrote:*Sigh...* Because katana's aren't already OP now are they?

Well, I guess that really depends on what you consider OP. But that's an argument for another day.TooLeet wrote:People use them because they can do decent damage fast.

I completely agree with you on the DWGR though. Sometimes I wonder if it should only work below 12.5% equip load or something ridiculous, but that solution seems a bit artificial.
Back on-topic: I feel as if I didn't explain myself very well in the other post, so i'll re-iterate. Regardless of how hard it is to do or easy it is to avoid, something that completely bypasses a core aspect of the game is not something I will ever condone.

FP, I thinkt that is the first time I have ever laughed at something you wrote-it's uncommon for me to even agree with you. That is funny. You have plundered one of my +1s for today.
