Is dodging even worthy?
Like the title say the game has a dodge roll! Wow! But does It do something other than consume stamina and move you away? Does it even have i-frames? As an old Dark Souls player i love being able to learn attacks and Dodge them accordingly in games, so even here i try to dodge them when i can but, even more against bosses, dodging doesn't seem to provide any i-frame and i get hit every time. Is it bad ping? Am i doing something wrong?

Am I the only one who finds it works perfectly fine?

Nope, I think it works great too. I just don't expect to get i-frames like some people. It's a movement skill, an evasion skill, not a get-out-of-jail-free skill, so I don't use it as one lol.

The dodge seems fine to me but there are some enemies that either have janky hitboxes or weird lag. The Arbiters in particular have a couple attacks that hit way beyond where it looks like they would.

I think it's the weird lag, honestly. I have a pretty beefy machine and wired fiber and their servers still shit the bed every now and then.
I have settings decently low and cap them at 120 because the game still looks just fine and I want my system to not have to work very hard to play this game. If I have a session where I play for more than a couple hours my frames start dropping a consistently a couple at a time every few minutes. Then after about 20 minutes it just drops to like 17 frames and never recovers until I reset the game lol.
Temps are good, clock speeds are good, I intend to look for a memory leak next, don't know why I didn't check sooner lol. But the game is pretty poorly optimized IMO, if it chugs on people's PCs I have no clue how they expect it to run much better on mobile phones.

I don't think it's crazy to expect iframes when you aren't explicitly told there are none in this day and age where a bunch of games are trying to emulate dark souls.
Or didn't know there weren't iframes. Needs to be told. Now he knows and can probably use dodge effectively.

No, i too think it's fine. I still use it, it's a great fast movement move to get out of danger or dash near and enemy in melee. Just wanted to see what you others think about it since it's not explained anywhere in the game and almost every other media does it with i-frames and so i tend to associate to things i already know when the gane doesn't tell you things.

I think we're just used to all the wannabe souls-likes that are getting released,but iframes weren't always a given in games. I too found it to be a bit of a learning curve, I've trained myself to dodge THROUGH attacks not out of their range for so long it's hard to break that habit.

If you aren't used to games that use iframes yeah but of here just seems to be confused on that.
