Kimiko posted:Hey everyone! Welcome to our Friday Update! I'm not really looking forward to the chase boost changes, since I think that it's a loving stupid system in the first place, especially since it enables a Knight to outrun a MaA at an already ridiculous range. I think the stamina cost change will be for the better though, and will cut down on the number of Vanguard swinging Zweihanders literally nonstop. Customization is pretty nice as well, now I can chop mans while being the prettiest princess on the battlefield

So to tide you over until it’s officially updated, here are a few fixes and alterations written up by SlyGoat, of what’s to come. Balance changes shall wait til’ Monday!

Man, have I been wrong about the Holy Water Sprinkler. You just have to remember not to treat it as a mace, but as a stick with a long nail at the end of it. The poke absolutely destroys everyone, and is really quick too.

Some of that poo poo looks pretty awesome. I think the chase mechanic is pretty much exclusively in place because otherwise it would be far too easy for MAAs and especially Archers to just shoot and scoot for loving ever, giving the slower classes no chance of ever catching them. If you play LTS at all, enough loving idiots already try to just run for minutes at a time, forcing everyone who is dead to just sit and watch. It really sucks. MAA still has a mobility advantage from their dash, and now that the chase mechanic only works when someone has their back turned, an MAA can really out maneuvre a knight in a face-to-face sword fight. At least, that's what will happen in theory.

I have it on one of my side mouse button, means I don't have to move any of my fingers off the direction keys to hit it. If you're short on mouse buttons you might be able to find a key that's used for an action that MMA doesn't get much use out of, like the arrow cam one.

I use caps lock for my dodge key, and caps lock itself is rebound to F13 on my machine. I recommend anyone who plays anything more complicated than Modern Warfare do something like this - Caps Lock is in prime real estate on your keyboard and I'll bet you quite a bit you guys can't remember the last time you used it for its intended purpose.

Go to Documents\My Games\Chivalry Medieval Warfare\UDKGame\Config\, open UDKInput.ini and change the binding at the end of the "ConsoleKey=" line. Here's a list of key names if you're looking for something specific: http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/KeyBinds.html#Mappable%20keys It keeps treating tilde as apostrophe for me so I've had to change it to something completely different.

So apparently, if you have a shield equipped and it gets hit while idle, it will still damage you. Not only that, but it's counted as head damage. Great job, TB!  It's being fixed in the next patch, but still.

Did the speed of the kick attack get nerfed in this game's life? I've been watching videos of top players on youtube and they are kicking people like no tomorrow (often just to annoy the opponent), but when I try it, it seems very very slow.

It's probably because they are the best players. Frankly I'll have flashes where my Slash, Parry, Slash, Overhead combos leave me surrounded by my slain enemies like some sort of Greek Demigod of combat, but it's so unsustainable for me overall. Kicking is like that, sometimes I can land them and swoop in to chop off a head like its no problem. Other times I feel just silly. The game is like that.

Thanks for the list, nice changes coming. But if you see a helicopter zweihander vanguard, just stay like 2 meters away and back out of all their swings. They'll be feinting and huffing and wheezing like they have asthma in like 20 seconds. Now the tornado maul knight, that is another matter...

A few weeks ago I jumped from rank 17 suddenly to rank 37. I expected it to change back after a while but it didn't, it's still there. Now everybody expects me to be a skilled player even though my favorite activities in chiv are kicking teammates out of the spawnpoint and pointing out to my fellow players that the guillotine from the trebuchet/ships level is an anachronism in a medieval setting.

Given the WotR/C:MW discussion that erupted at launch, I feel justified in noting that you sad bastard who, like me, bought C:MW after playing WotR and finding it lacking should give it another shot. They've done some balancing and while it's still a lot of m1m1m1 and flighty, it feels *better* in a hard to describe way.

New patch is up. here's the changelog. Bugs fixed: Flinch not applying during weapon swap (will apply AFTER you swap weapons). Counterattacks made off of feinted alt-swings transitioning into alt-swings. Kick stun applying during shield drop rather than only active block. Release flinch desyncing near the end of release. Shields being able to exploit tap block to bypass deflected/parried state. Projectile stickies not showing. Pole Hammer sprint attack not moving you forward. Several ballistae bugs. Assists not being awarded properly. Alt slash tracers for fist firing upwards. Projectile speed being influenced by framerate. Alt swing infinite combo. King instantly respawning after death. Random class assigning players to classes over the max amout on class-limited servers. Vertical turn rate being uncapped in a windup or combo. Tapping shield block when out of stamina not applying special daze properly. Sling sometimes firing at minimum windup when the attack button is being held down. Javelin and flail shield punch attacks using weird tracers. Sprint causing you to slide forward during dodge and reload animations. Light crossbow becoming unable to fire. Rank limits not working for rank 0. Removed some potentially abusive console commands. Third person flinch animations playing on friendly fire despite friendly fire not causing flinch. Respawn timer forcing you to the next wave if your spawn timer expires while you're in class or weapon select. Special daze when an out of stamina player blocks a projectile. Server request allowing hackers to spawn as a king. Dodging while dazed or special dazed. Release flinch working on allies. Players being able to bypass forced respawns by entering a siege weapon. "Hiding spot" in the lake on Moor. Infinite objective points from burning a certain house repeatedly on Stoneshill. Players floating into the air if they're kicked while jumping. Possible desync when trying to combo with insufficient stamina. Possible desync with counterattacks ("fake counterattacks"). Shield hitbox for inactive shields counting as headshot damage for melee weapons. Sprint speed not resetting when flinched with toggle sprint active. Server filters sometimes requiring a reset to change. HTML tags in player names. Vanguards being unable to throw torches with sprint attack readied. Lead balls not being able to fire after refilling ammo. Crouch-jumping getting you stuck in crouch. Queued shield blocks not having a capped turn rate. Mechanics: Kick and shield bash hit detection now uses proper tracers and is more precise when on uneven terrain or against moving targets. Kicks have a 1 second cooldown. Charge system for kicks/shield bashes - tapping kick will perform a quick knockback and daze with no damage and a lower stamina cost, holding kick will do a slightly slower damaging kick with the ability to stun shield users. Attacks cannot be feinted in the last 200 ms of windup (attack grunt will play at the start of this window). Unable to parry for .4 seconds after a combo feint. Combo feint stamina cost from 15 to 20. Parries can now be combod into from an attack release the same way as attacks are combod, for 10 stamina. Now able to parry in attack recovery - costs 25 stamina and does not allow counterattacks. Being hit while wielding a ranged weapon no longer flinches, only cancels the attack. Ranged weapons can be swapped away from or have their attack canceled at any time. Chase boost now only activates against enemies with their backs turned. Chase boost activates from further away. Bonus stamina regeneration from crouching removed, base stamina regeneration increased. New stamina drain values and absorption rates for all weapons (average stamina loss on parry generally lower, min-max values from 7-35 to 8-25) A wheezing sound now loops when a player is under 30% stamina. Out of stamina grunt will play when you try to perform an action you don't have enough stamina for, rather than when you swing with 0 stamina. Alt swings have a .1 longer windup. Special daze length from 1.5 to 2 Flinch for twohanders is now 1.1 instead of .8 After being flinched or parried, sprint is disabled for .5 Buckler animations redone to block less screen space. When a match ends, the game no longer freezes. The losing team (or all players but the winner in FFA) are switched to fists. Enemies have slightly larger collision than allies. Archer: Broad and Thrust Dagger size increased by 20% Hunting Knife size increased by 40% Thrusting Dagger overhead damage from 45 to 50 and stab from 40 to 45 Saber slash release from .4 to .375 combo from .6 to .575 and damage from 40 to 45 Saber overhead windup from .45 to .4 release from .4 to .35 and damage from 45 to 55 Saber stab windup from .4 to .45 and release from .4 to .35 Javelin shield punch attacks windup/release/recovery all .35/.3/.5.

drat. They just keep nerfing the MAA. Should be interesting to see how badly they gimped him. I'm seeing a lot of vanguard improvement. Big surprise  Edit: I guess the increase in base speed and sprint acceleration might counter the changes. I'm not wild about the holy water sprinkler being made slower and weaker. It's already laughably hard to use cause it's so drat short. Couple that with a reduced dodge seems like it'll be a terrible weapon to use as an MAA. It does look like the 25¢ staff might actually be of use now. dog nougat fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Jun 26, 2013 |

I had a friend playing the WotR beta and telling me how horrible it was so I never tried it. Than i randomly stumbled upon the last patchnotes in the steam community tab and read thea added handgonnes and as it was on sale I bought it. As you might have guessed, I'm bad at making decisions, but this is one I don't regret. Though the combat feels disconnected and weird sometimes, the battles in general have a more epic and medival feel to them than in Chivalry. Especially when you have that nice butcher-fest after a won encounter where everyone is executing the fallen enemies. Now if they could somehow merge the superior weapon interaction of C:MW with the overall flair, feel and customization of WotR, that would probably be the last game about medival warfare anyone ever had to buy.

My favorite thing about the WotR/C:MW split is that, for the longest time, I had both threads bookmarked because I was interested in them both (I played the WotR Beta). For the longest time, Chivalry would get upwards a hundred new posts a day, while the WotR thread couldn't break 50 in a week and half of those posts were "No but the game is really good guys!" and maybe 3 or 4 regulars posted for more than a week at a time.
