Title: Official Poll: Sideblock bug fix.
Post by: Vincenzo on February 13, 2018, 10:46:35 am
Hey guys.

I'm back from my holiday in Thailand so I have time to fix all the issues you guys are having.

After some research on my part, I know why melee can feel different compared to last patch, Taleworlds changed some things how melee input is handled by the server to fix a often reported bug.

The bug in question was that sometimes on your screen you are blocking for instance up or down, whilst on the server and other people's screens you are blocking in another direction, for instance to the side.
To fix this bug, Taleworlds changed the timings a bit so the server allows the client a bit more time to change his direction.

As a result things might seem a bit more delayed if you have a very low ping, if you have a higher or fluctuating ping, things will be much smoother for you. in any case, things don't react the same as before the patch, and so on.

So the solution is simple. your free to leave your opinions on it.

Should we revert this change, bringing back the sideblock bug, or should we keep things as they are now?

I think in general you guys probably already just got used to it, but your free to say your opinion.
Discuss what you want about it here and vote on it.

We might not do what the poll gives as a result, and make our own decision, but it can give some kind of indication.

Cheers,

Vince.

The sideblock bug is not fixed, just keep it as is I guess though.

Was it reduced at all?

It seems about the same to me, haven't really been counting. Some matches it happens two rounds in a row and then nothing for a long string of rounds - it's just randomly infrequent I guess.

I've still seen people get the sb glitch and had it myself, so to be honest I think it'd be better to change it back to how it was. At the moment there are so many different opinions on how it feels where as at least the old melee everyone felt the same.
Title: Re: Official Poll: Sideblock bug fix.
Post by: John Price on February 13, 2018, 10:58:19 am
Agreed with Herishey, I still see it so just change it back.

Thanks for clearing it up though, I knew I wasn't going crazy, it does feel slower D: (12 ping usually)

Is it also related to the huge amount of pokes? it seems it have been multiplied by minimum 3!

This is a very valid point, do you have an update on this?

Its probably the biggest thing for everyone as it affects all of us, not just the low ping players (I bet you did it to us on purpose!! I know your game!!!)
Title: Re: Official Poll: Sideblock bug fix.
Post by: John Price on February 13, 2018, 12:07:29 pm
I feel like the amount of people with higher ping outway everyone with low ping :/ Means that some have to get fkd for the rest to have better melee :(

Also FSE devs shouldn't vote!!!

In all honesty the sideblock bug is not something that bothers me. Its more how risky block chambering has become because the timing seems to have changed completely, and that 1v2s have become way harder because  blocking 2 people at once with tap blocking doesn't seem to work consistently anymore.
oh and pokes ofc

Melee just doesn't seem consistent. Like there are a ton of pokes and glances. Stabs are like 50/50 if they're going to glance when you're stabing a spinning player.

I don't think the melee now is too different from what is was, just a case of learning the bits that have been changed. I do however wish that you would remove the glitch that shows a down or up-stab when it is in reality the opposite stab when you release, that glitch is the bane of my existence.

Its not fair thats the only answer and it makes melee for people with 10-20 ping infuriating.

Fair frustrations John - definitely feel free to share what exactly it is with the devs (or here), and I'm sure they'd want to hear specifics. Earlier you mentioned the pokes were the big gripe - has that changed?

Still the same mate.

Sorry for the rage post (which you can obviously tell it is) - Poking does feel about 3-4 times as much as it was before. Before it would be idk, maybe once every 15 stabs I would do, now its like 7/10.

which 4 people are those.   i am only seeing 2 people who coded for the patch who voted to keep.   

and going off the convo i had the other day, this really isn't even a coding thing for FSE.  should be as simple as turning a certain flag on or off and maybe talking to TW about making tweaks.  so i am not seeing why who codes matters anyways.

so i am not seeing why who codes matters anyways.

I'm suggesting that perhaps the coders haven't experienced the consequences of their tweaks to a necessary extent before deciding on whether to keep it or not. The sideblock issue has been around forever and we all know why it exists, but to add in an attack delay as opposed to pushing TW to make the necessary engine tweaks is a poor solution that, in my opinion, does more harm than good.

The delay is the only proper solution... You clearly do not understand how network engines work.

Looks like someone is taking constructive criticism to heart! How about instead to taking swipes at me, you revert your sloppy excuse of a "solution" and correct the two new issues you have introduced - being the constant poking and animation glitching - at the cost of allowing one engine bug (that is hardly game breaking to begin with) to exist.

Post by: Bob_The_Drunken_Villager on February 15, 2018, 07:11:24 am
I think you should change the melee back to what it was before the patch. I can not put my finger on it, but the updated melee is.. Kinda way to slow in terms of this delay. Before the patch I was able to block 2 players when they stab at me as long as their stabs are just a tiny bit out of sync (meaning not hitting me at the same time, but rather 0,1-0,3 seconds apart). That is no longer the case for me and it frustates me, since I viewed the ability to analyze your opponent and guessing who would stab first to then block both of them very skillfull.

The delay in general is... I dunno really. Feels a lot more "heavy" as Tiberias has pointed out in one of his posts. Great that animations now work more fluently, but I'd rather have faster melee, because again, I feel like it was what I really loved about the NW-Expansion (it's in my eyes more reaction-based/skillbased).

I appreciate what you wanted to do, since I had the sb bug myself many, many times, don't get me wrong. I just feel it was a little bit over-zealous with you trying to fix as much as you can in this probably last proper patch of our beloved game.
Title: Re: Official Poll: Sideblock bug fix.
Post by: Piercee on February 15, 2018, 07:32:20 am
Old melee is what I preferred due to being able to quickblock multiple people way easier than before, blocking chambers has also changed in timing, now I actually have to put way more effort into it whilst before the timing was just in my head.
Title: Re: Official Poll: Sideblock bug fix.
Post by: Golden. on February 15, 2018, 02:25:11 pm
There is still the unfixable problem of ping, and the simple fact the lower your ping the easier the game is to play, I played with 6-7 ping on a british server against a gf team Slavic  and won very easily few days later played on a their server with triple that ping and the difference was crazy, evey single block and timing in the game is different.

Ping matters.. a lot.. especially in a game focused on timings.

We are taking your comments into consideration. so keep writing your thoughts.

Right now the chance is high we will revert many changes to bring things back to how it was.

About pokes i cannot really comment, we haven't changed much.. perhaps its just linked to the new taleworlds engine version.. see how it is after the comming patch.

During my inebriated rant last night, I forgot to mention that due to Warband's poor hit boxes there have always been issues with side blocking. It's why blocking attacks from cav is so hit-and-miss (pun intended) and why you can "bend" your bayonet around a player to avoid their block. So in addition to the sideblock lag bug, which is caused by server -> client communication and ping specifically (as Dr Olafson and his CS PhD correctly pointed out last night) there is also the issue of hit boxes, which is in fact a Warband engine issue.

So in conclusion, sideblock will probably always be messed up, and attempting to correct it has introduced more bugs and frustration than what existed in the first place. But I'm just a retarded player like Olafson pointed out, so what'd I know...

Speaking as a player with high ping, I liked the older melee as well. Playing on an EU server with 120 ping or so, spinning has been one of the few tactics I could rely on. Since the new patches, spinning gets about a 50/50 chance of pokes, much higher than it was before. Especially on backstabs that should be clear-cut. I haven't noticed anything making it easier to block with my higher ping either, people are still starting and finishing their attacks faster than my already primed one anyway.

Post by: Windflower on February 15, 2018, 07:14:19 pm
A lot of people also prefer how smooth the new melee is (see poll). Competitive players have been playing with the old melee their entire NW "career" so if it get's changed to something they aren't used to most of them aren't going to like it regardless. I also have high ping and really it's only made the game more fair. I would like to see poking removed but I could prolly live with it.

So in conclusion, sideblock will probably always be messed up, and attempting to correct it has introduced more bugs and frustration than what existed in the first place. But I'm just a retarded player like Olafson pointed out, so what'd I know...

You're mainly irrelevant, and retarded.

Anyway I I have mixed feelings about the patch. I wouldn't fully revert but rather take a closer look to the delay/sb glitch/poke issue.

But I feel I'd rather get poked or poke instead of getting myself killed because my game says "down block!" and the server says "here's a side block haha get memed kid!!!!".

We did an experiment on my server, running full speed, stabbing at someone upper body, did 25% of my health on 6/10 stabs (Playing as Highlandewr)

So technically it could take 4 stabs running at full speed and getting the most effectiveness out of your stab to kill someone, whereas before I feel like you were guaranteed to kill in 2 except for extreme moments? Or am I remembering it wrong?!

EDIT2: Even more logical suggestions the devs never implemented. https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=6190.0

The bug it was meant to fix wasn't fixed. The wrong block appearing still happens consistently. It's just that the patch added new amazing bugs from the delay that Taleworlds put in. Things like this, for instance:

Spoiler
(https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/912416569045069658/302F6606752DEA8BCBD41240D42AAA0ECB1E69DB/)
[close]

It seems to me the change helped a couple of people, made no noticeable difference to a lot of people, and screwed over everybody else through exacerbating the disagreement between the client and the server.

This is exactly why I would like a revert.

Plus as mentioned before by Tiberias though, I too feel like the melee got "heavier"/slower. In a game that is already pretty slow to begin with, I just don't see why it should stay in the game the way it is now.

Despite the poll they said they were most likely going to change it.

But this is the exact reason we asked them NOT to vote. Their opinion is just based on the fact that they worked on it, not because they play NW regularly with the playerbase.

We are taking your comments into consideration. so keep writing your thoughts.

Right now the chance is high we will revert many changes to bring things back to how it was.

About pokes i cannot really comment, we haven't changed much.. perhaps its just linked to the new taleworlds engine version.. see how it is after the comming patch.

Not sure if this is in the list of bugs to/have been fixed already, in the admin panel, when trying to change some settings, it would change the team limit for "horsemen to 0%".
