I think whilst it might be annoying, I know what you mean by these spam mechanics you mentioned. It is possible to counter any attacks people bring out one way or another. Whilst they are spamming their fast attacks with these weapons you can dodge, feint or kick them. I know they like to kick with short swords, so whilst they do that maybe you could expect your opponent to do this at times and hit them with an attack of your own.

Players a lot of the time will stick to one tactic, so whilst in a fight you should have plenty of time to choose a counter.

I’ll be honest, i was triggered by the ‘MAA ‘cancer’’ comment into uncivil discourse, someone very close to me is passing from that right now with denied coverage (murrica…)even though he already spent his life savings on it and thats no way to discuss video game balance, using that language - i apologize for the text walls

in summary - both me and xylv agree - regular jumps + wall climbing during attacks and parry feels better

but as for mini-jumps during those animations, thats still debatable, there doesn’t seem to be a consensus on that specific aspect, and i can imagine it going either way on the mini-jumps and still being the fun movement i experienced in the alpha, even though i have my slight preference. i’m gonna stop posting now and i look forward to next weeks update, whatever it may be

Our keybinding menu looks a bit confusing this alpha round and has already been fixed on our end.

Interesting adverb choice.
