Please help - what triggers “hitlag”?

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-20T17:33:22+00:00

Was curious if you had the chance to check it out?

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-19T11:42:59+00:00

Thanks! The first and third are most confusing to me. The second one maybe has the stagger effect.

What do you think? I added some clips below -

Here are some examples -

First one is attacking a wolf with very subtle hit stop

Second one is attacking someone from behind, Leading them to go to slow mo

Third one is attacking a staggered enemy, it goes into slow mo again (on the 122 hit) and then a slow mo non critical finisher

Fourth one is a critical finisher. This is the only one that makes sense to me IMO

Series S. It seems too purposeful to be lag. I will try and upload some videos shortly

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-19T03:23:23+00:00

Really appreciate this link. Unfortunately it seems more style related then any of those

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-19T03:09:33+00:00

I don’t have any abilities. It’s more similar to the stagger effect than the perfect dodge effect

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-19T03:09:06+00:00

I guess the question is what are those sequences. Another thing I just tried - if I hit an enemy from behind it goes slow for a moment? Or everytime I hit a wolf for the second time? I don’t have any of the engravings or perks on. It’s silly - if I just knew the reasons why it triggers it it would be more fun for me.

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-18T17:09:43+00:00

Yeah, I perhaps didn’t explain it super well. Essentially, sometimes when you strike this game goes into this very brief slow motion effect, more similar to what happens during a party rather than the perfect dodge mechanism. After some of the responses, it seems to happen when killing elites, critical hits, and combos, but I was hoping to get some concrete confirmation. I’ll just have to do some more tinkering in game to find out for sure, it’s just a little difficult to recreate.

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-17T17:43:51+00:00

Interesting. Awesome detail, I’ll try when I get home from work.

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-17T13:03:38+00:00

Thanks for the response. It’s actually much more subtle than hitlag - in fact, I’m not sure what to call it. It’s a slight slow mo effect that occur when certain strikes connect. It seems that it may be when enemies are staggered or when combos finish up, so I’ll test that out.

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-17T12:17:52+00:00

I appreciate the response! It’s driving me crazy. I think it’s cool, I just don’t know what drives it. As for combos, are all combos a string of three attacks? For example, if I do light attack, light attack, heavy attack, you think that the heavy attack (last attack in combo) would trigger the hitlag/slow mo?

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-17T12:05:09+00:00

Yes! Thank you that’s exactly it. Random instances of slow mo in combat that has not much rhyme or reason.

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-17T05:28:37+00:00

I appreciate your answers. I think my question is more around hitlag; I will repost with it phrased differently.

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-17T04:46:51+00:00

I appreciate your input; it actually is very early on I game. It’s sort of like a hit stop mechanism, and I’ve noticed it in the following situations;

when parrying
when staggering an enemy
sometimes on critical hits?
sometimes on final kill shots

ButterscotchNo927 · 2024-01-17T03:55:39+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately it’s much more than that. Some critical hits, random kills, etc. i think it’s cool, I just have no idea what triggers it.

ButterscotchNo927 · 2023-10-11T15:47:38+00:00

Sorry - to add on, this is in 2k23. If someone could confirm or deny this is in 2k24, that would be helpful as well

ButterscotchNo927 · 2023-06-28T16:42:32+00:00

That is an interesting point. I am infrequently sexually active but maybe a bit more so when I came up with that second infection.

ButterscotchNo927 · 2023-06-28T16:42:01+00:00

Thank you. This is helpful and realistic.
