chivalry 2 has been my go to game for the last six months but torn banner has stopped paying attention to it and so it’s been overrun by nazis, which is always twice as bad in historical games and now it’s even worse absent any moderation at all. it sucks, there aren’t any other medieval multiplayer games like that but every single match is an endless deluge of poo poo like “this game is full of [slur] because historians are soy homosexual communists who hate white men” and everyone somberly agreeing. the sort of festering growth of a particularly toxic community can gently caress up games big time, insurgency sandstorm and bannerlord both became intolerable on account of the same dynamic

at least battlebits is still good and heavily moderated, funny how three devs putting in an iota of effort have managed to quash bigotry a hundred times more effectively than these larger, established companies

lol well rip. kind of suspected torn banner would do that again. i played a fuckload of chiv 1 and became a spinlord (its fun) on duel servers. i dont think chiv1 ever had the melee game problem that mordhau, bannerlord, and inevitably chiv2 got. probably does now.

does chiv 2 not have community servers or is that an official server problem

I don’t think it does, it has pseudo community servers that are official duel servers where people run the various informal dueling rule sets but I’m fairly certain there are only official servers for every other rule set, at least after 700 hours I’ve never encountered any discussion of them outside dueling

it’s a drat shame because the actual gameplay is really good. I never played Chiv 1 but my understanding is the combat is even better in 2 as far as chambers/ripostes/etc go but the maps are considerably less inspired, which tracks, since in Chiv 2 they’re mostly “realistic” in that there isn’t any grand architecture or silliness like I’ve seen in screenshots from the first game. I think I’m mainly annoyed as Chiv is the only online game I’ve ever actually been legit good at, I get first place a good 8/10 matches when I’m playing regularly and used to have a lot of fun with the good natured nonsense built into the game that makes the competitive stuff less important, but the fun is being sucked out of it by every match being so unbearably racist

not allowing community servers and then just peacing out... despicable. also exactly what torn banned did with chiv 1. except that was before i think any game was really doing the no community server stuff. that sucks.

chiv 2 looked good. chiv 1 had pretty goofy maps. i wouldn't call any of them realistic except one that was like... a hilly field. best voice actors in the biz though. ill never get NO NOT NAY out of my head.

yeah they seem to have retained the same voice actors, the mason vanguard disillusioned lines about fat nobles and not caring who rules this shite-hole are some of the best barks ever created for video games. I didn’t know they did the same thing to chivalry 1 but am not remotely surprised, TB is singularly impressive as a company that somehow manages to make things way worse with every patch consistently for long periods of time. they’ve been promising cross platform since launch and just put it into barely functional beta last month lol

now this is hosed up. that is not what chivalry is about. that's not chivalrous. nobody said that kinda poo poo in chiv 1. you'd be killed. some gamemodes had a king. and everyone protected the king (ff would have loved this). god is punishing them fort his with a plague of mordhaus

i was looking for a good "slay those archers" spam compilation from chiv 1's glory days but youtube is hiding them all. got a tony tone special though

i leave it unmuted except for myself because i feel like an absolute dork trying to talk to video game characters on a screen. similarly i never use voice commands on everything.

noted astutely here I’m also one of those people who really enjoys, like, sane convivial comms in games. it wasn’t as bad when I first started at steam launch and seems to be really going downhill. for awhile I was proactively reporting nazi poo poo via discord but every time I’ve done that recently I’ve seen the same people pasting goebbels speeches into chat two days later and it’s discouraging. I also prefer chat in Chiv because it’s the only game I’m good at and getting first place to poo poo on the racists and idiots is pretty satisfying, but increasingly less so as the community consensus changes to “kick the person mad about bigotry” instead of “kick the bigot”

I guess hearing a bunch of awful nerds and children screeching the n word is not my idea of a good time and that poo poo is so common in every game.

if they catch you saying the nword you should be restricted to specific nword servers that randomly cheat ban you and then you cant play any games with anticheat on it

I will still say that mobile suit gundam battle operations 2 is a good game

when you actually find a match
when you don't get kicked out of match making after 10 seconds and get told good job
while you had the 1000% crate find boost
while you don't play with max tier suits
when you are not kicked out an penalized for the game being peer to peer
when the game doesn't have too many over powered gacha suits in it
