Game mode: Single-player Type of issue: Bug Mods?: No Edition: Steam Bug Description: First let me provide a link to a feedback thread where a number of us have assumed this bug was an intended part of the 2.5 update: Impossible to execute combo on camp thralls due to Stagger update 2.5 Now, t…

On testlive tonight, I have observed that hitting an enemy with a swords 1st light attack (a la Firespark81) seems to keep the enemy stumbling. I don’t know if this will help you or not but thought I would throw it out there.

It would work so long as you time it to make sure each hit connects after their stagger ends. Definitely just a workaround, because we shouldn’t have to spam a single attack in a 4-attack chain to defeat NPCs. Unfortunately it’s dangerous to use against more than 1 enemy. I’ve been working on ways …

I have definitely noticed this “issue” since upgradign to 2.5 on PS4. Makes combat not very fun anymore. Feels like the humanoids are cheating. I get staggered on their combos, but they don’t. Just plain wrong.

I’ve had a similar situation that they ignore any staggering situation and dodging is too punishing. @Community The patch discussion thread closed the day 2.5.1 landed, too. So we can’t discuss the issue there.

Blocking is not really optional … almost feels like a must. WIth a 1 hand weapon. Because dodge just takes too much stamina.

And at the very least anything with daggers should NOT have this immunity if they decide to keep it, i mean the dagger npc has a backflip, let them use that instead of reduced stagger, never hated dagger npcs more in a game then this one😂 lol

Indeed. 1 on 1 sure, but unless it’s an exile camp with 2 thralls, taking on bases now is impossible. At least solo, since i usually aggro more than 1 in camp. I’ll have to get a good thrall i think before I can do that.

From the three or so hours I tested on Xbox last night this bug wasn’t present there. All the weapons I tried had normal stagger effects. I tried a mace, a war axe, a two handed sword, and duel axes. My thrall was using a battle axe with the new animations and she was also staggering opponents So …

That was me on PS4. No problem before the patch yesterday. Normal stagger effects. Post-patch, enemies have very little stagger. You get in 1 or 2 hits but when trying to finish the combo, then they reply in kind with their combos and your’re stunlocked in their animation. so far I have only man…

I was playing today/last night and noticed (for me) that the axes seemed to work fine, it’s the (updated) short sword stagger that seems to be really bugged.
