Honest feedback on the riposte situation

[Gucci]

I saw a post from a dev explaining why they removed riposte after a parry

Will the game add Fatal attachments/ripostes?

Yeah, so here’s the rub: We had ripostes in the game after parries. But ultimately we saw that our Focus System is already accomplishing what riposte does and forcing the player into always the same riposte attack - we thought - isn’t ideal. So what we did is this: If you parry an attack, you gain a good chunk of Focus. Focus is what you use to perform your rune specials. You can have 2-4 rune specials. So upon parry, you can now choose how you want to punish your opponent, which move make…

I’ll be completely honest, once we build a muscle memory, we’re gonna be spamming the same ability over and over, I understand not wanting to see the same riposte animation every time but the solution you guys came up with isn’t fixing a real problem, I’ve never seen anyone complain about that specific issue in Elden Ring or Dark souls.

Please reconsider this change.

Please give me a riposte a lot of souls player are interested in the game and a lot of souls player like the rewarding feeling of stabbing or (insert animation name) the enemy after a successful parry not being able to remove the satisfaction from it a big chunk
