Is Parrying Detrimental to AO?

I don’t think Vetex is so oblivious that he isn’t aware of the fact that showing off super cool fast-paced combat clips is going to attract people to AO that inherently hate the slow, suffocating playstyle of “parry everything with good timing and only counter at the perfect opportunity”.

Has he said anything about combat other than how it’s supposed to make you read and predict what your opponent’s going to do?

well he said it’s movement based and if ur a turtle who barely moves and p blocks everything it kinda feels wrong

If 2 people both go into a battle with the plan of perfect blocking and only attacking at the perfect opportunity, but the perfect opportunity only comes if the opponent attacks, then nobody wins

I strongly believe that it would be better if npcs couldn’t parry. I mean look at the forest of cernumo boss.

solution: grab some popcorn and watch the hour-long standoff

Block, Parry, Dodge

L opinion block, parry, dodge easy and simple

You have no good argument about why npcs have blocking come back with something a tiny bit more creative

Dont need to just block parry dodge

Block parry dodge my ass

npcs would be way too easy if they couldn’t block or parry and it would make the game more like a bandit beater, taking a large mechanic out of the combat

personally feel like blocking is ok but perfect blocking is mmmmmmmm

p blocking just needs a way to be less abusable personally
