Have the devs said anything about Oculus Rift support? If that thing can make people motionsick with a rollercoaster video, I'd love to see what happens when they get decapitated and their head goes rolling down a hill.

I know this is a time old whinge, but Archers are really ruining this game for me. I tried the javelin for the first time and I went 24-6. It was far, far too easy to score kills. Thing is, it wasn't even remotely fun. Point and click exactly like a shooter, woohoo. I get way more entertainment value out of the swordplay, it makes me laugh. I don't know why but even when I play as MAA, I feel the archers are just as nimble with daggers and such that it's kind of loving pointless to play anything else. Ranged attacks + Daggers + Speed. Every update seems to have buffed them slightly which is the complete opposite of what I was hoping for (the addition of javelins has just made it even worse), considering I enjoy the melee aspect of this game far more. It's infuriating to see servers loaded to the brim with archers, and more often than not they team up to form little arrow enclaves in a corner of the map. These also tend to be the chucklefucks who TK the most. I was hoping there would be an archer free objective server in Australia, but as far as I know there isn't. For a game centered around medieval combat, in close quarters proximity, I really wish I could go back in time and tell Torn Banner to just gently caress them right off and add some other historical class instead. -endrant- Diet Crack fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Aug 19, 2013 |

Javelins are a little broken, but being an archer is not at all easy. Archers are not at all as nimble as MAAs, they have less stamina, and they can reliably get onehit if they slip up. Every class is incredibly frustrating to fight against and overpowered as all hell in certain situations; the archer is no exception, but it's also not really worse than any of the others. In a game where most people have shields that stop all arrows, if you're getting reliably hit, the archer is very good. And if they're reliably beating you in melee, the archer is very good. Everybody finds their own fun in the game, and if you don't enjoy archer don't play it. Also I just had a very fun series of FFAs with a couple of goonfriends that joined out of the blue! We should make an effort to do group games more often for sure.

Diet Crack posted:-endrant- But that's still no excuse for people getting so mad at archers, that I've seen 64 man Team Objective servers have THREE archer limits. I will not deny that javelins were the easiest time I had with Archers, and one of the fastest non vanguard weapons for me to fully unlock. But then I prefer to step closer to the fight shooting people in the dick with a crossbow or jumping in with a shortsword to finish people off anyway. Even if I had better aim with Bows, it just wouldn't be as fun to sit back lobbing arrows away from all the carnage. MAA who know how to dodge properly make dagger flailing archers look sluggish, but that's sideways movement. Usually MAA's dodging forwards just seem to end up getting killed faster.

I've only tried to play archer recently and it's not really my cup of tea, partly because I seem to be pretty bad at it and I just prefer the melee combat too much. I think most of my javelin kills are from using it as a stabbing weapon rather than throwing them. I'm an exceptionally poor shot with arrows too, I tried practicing on bots but they're too stupid and easy to hit so it's not much help in live games. I do have a bit of new found respect for dudes who can peg others from really far away now too.

Section Z posted:
I can't think of a time when a forwards dodge would be more effective than just sprinting up to a guy and stabbing him. To any MAA players, here's one of my go-to combos whenever I play MAA: 1) Approach the enemy 1a) If he has had time to notice you, wait for him to attack. If he's not sprinting up to you, walk backwards to dodge the attack. He is now exposed for an attack. 2) Sprint up to him and perform an alternative overhead. 3) Continue by performing a horizontal attack and moving to the LEFT, which is the RIGHT side of the enemy. Since your first attack was an alternative overhead, your horizontal attack will be an alternative one. This means that the enemy will most likely fail to block your attack as it came from an unusual side. 3) Continue by performing another horizontal attack, this time moving to the right, which is the enemy's left side. Your opponent will still likely be facing right after your first attack and your new attack will land. 4) Continue moving from side to side and attacking until the enemy dies. Mix up with other attacks and feints if needed

If you think looking downward is bad, try this trick for maximum bullshit. Step 1) Get a Messer. Step 2) Get high mouse sensitivity. Step 3) Two-hand the Messer. Step 4) When someone is about to attack, immediately look down and duck. This combination makes you basically impervious to the vast majority of attacks because you curl up instantly into a tiny ball. The two-handed ducking-lookdown knight can basically only be reasonably hit by a crouching lookdown overhead... which they can still parry. They can also slash at your legs with impunity because the Messer is somewhat short with some windup, so good luck getting in. It removes the "high risk" part of the "high risk high reward" equation of ducking. Also keep in mind that Knights are weak to Blunt weapons, the longer ones of which tend to not have exceptionally fast overheads. Part of why lookdown is bullshit is that it doesn't just make overheads more annoying to parry due to a smaller delay between button press -> attack delivery time... your character actually bends his back downward, making him a smaller target. People will literally miss you more if you do it on top of you getting to exploit the problems with the parry system. --- Another trick is doing the limbo (as in the pole you go under) dance to land an immediate overhead. With the maul. Which can one-shot you from full even if you are a knight. I'm not joking, try it sometime: rear backwards, do a maul overhead while going back forward. Many attacks that should hit you miss because you literally limbo under them (this includes overheads if you're moving, because it takes longer for the weapon to come in contact with your model), and your attack timing is very difficult to see (the maul's head is hidden behind your character's head since you're bending over backwards), so very few people can parry you. It is a bad idea to take this game seriously with stuff like that in. Don't try to win, just relax. Tallgeese fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Aug 19, 2013 |

Have you set Double Tap Time to 100 under Input? That makes it only accept the double tap if you manage to execute both taps within 100 milliseconds. If that's not enough, find UDKInput.ini under Documents->My Games->Chivalry, and set DoubleClickTime to something insane like 0.01.

I loving LOVE these servers, they make for the best clusterfucks around. Archers piss me off, but not to a massive extent. What pisses me off is when half your team is made up of archers and suddenly all of the fighting takes place at your spawn. With strict archer limits it forces people to get off their fat arses and get stuck in. And getting stuck in is the only real way to learn how to melee in this game, not sat in spawn plinking away and stabbing the occasional vanguard who manages to get through but is now on little health due to all the arrows he's been shot with. Also, I saw an awesome moment where I was squared off against a vanguard on Battlegrounds. An archer took a shot at me and hit the vanguard, which must've been the final straw because he turned around and smashed the archer's head in  Oh, has anyone seen a guy called Ryan UK around? He basically joins a server as a Mason MAA, and just runs around spamming "Help" while occasionally punching people. It's loving hilarious and people keep trying to votekick him

Winning in melee as am archer isn't difficult at all. If anything it's easy as poo poo since you can literally just charge people and spam the overhead and stunlock them, and if they attack you can parry literally everything with ease. They need to remove parrying the big weapons with dagger, or at least make it so if you try to parry a maul with a dagger you still take some damage and maybe get staggered slightly, because as it stands a dagger usually has the advantage in a 1v1 fight with a slower weapon.

It would be great if Archers were stunlocked by larger weapons when parrying. I wouldn't even mind it if I was an archer with a dagger and I went to parry a maul and was frozen for a half second.

Yeah, it's a little bit ridiculous that you can parry those blows completely. That said, if you're fighting someone with a dagger, you should just draw your secondary weapon. I know you all want to land a  head explode, but if you die to that dagger because you insisted on keeping your sledgehammer or whatever out it's your own god damned fault.

It's not like it's really easier to parry a dagger with a short sword though, you still need to parry one of their strikes and hit one of your own and for every missed parry they get 2-3 free hits. It's often better to stick to your main and try to get a riposte off, if they're particularly defensive a feint can do the trick. I'd rather hold on to the zweihander and try to off them in one hit then switch to a short sword and be required to hit them 4 times before they can cheese me with the dagger.

The short sword 2 hits archers and MaAs with stabs, which at the very least ypu can hit trade rather than being stunlocked. In all honesty though I think unrealistic parries is pretty low on the long list of things that need to be fixed.

Recently I have had many occasions where I feint with a slow rear end weapon, see the opponent raise his parry for my feinted attack and he still parries my real attack, with the same parry. It really annoys me when that happens. I also really hate the panic parry mechanic, pouncing at someone after they missed an attack is nearly useless unless you're willing to trade attacks until his stamina runs out.

I played with that, I changed it cause it seemed to increase the tendency for people to just votekick me after the third time I owned them with feints, so yeah, pretty much the same.

Hey, At least I'm not named "Ser Jaime".

havenwaters posted:It's not that difficult to deal with dagger archers so long as you don't let them get too close. Though once they do get close you're in trouble. The only thing that consistently ruins my poo poo as dagger archer are feints on medium speed weapons and delayed attacks on the slowest weapons like looking up with mauls and dragging zweis since they both go slower than I expect and the parry speed is almost outruns the attack itself. I don't know why people get so mad about daggers blocking everything because there really is no room for error. I've played hundreds of hours as MaA and archer melee is much harder but much more satisfying just because the rage it generates. The only strengths are in softening people at range and getting people to make mistakes by thinking you're the average melee-retarded archer. I've now taken to swapping to the dagger against MaA and archers just because the speed makes it so effective. I've recently tried duels for the first time and holy moly do people get mad about archers. Heavy crossbow and thrusting dagger means bodyshotting a charging vanguard then facestabbing him mid charge for a good time. Once I learned that un-equipping the pavise shield as archer kept from having your weapons reset to default every round, it was an outpouring of angry tears.

I think you're misunderstanding what a parry is. It's a redirection of an incoming attack. For some reason, the course to animate this as the weapon recoiling back towards the attacker which is inappropriate. My guess it's they simply didn't animate 2 different modes for having an attack blocked. Realistically, a knife or just about anything else could redirect an incoming attack. As to how long it could maintain this is questionable, but it's not like this game is terribly realistic anyway.

The real problem is that with the way the game works it's significantly easier to parry long weapons that have plenty of parrying tracers than it is to parry short weapons that can pretty arbitrarily just go right through your parry as they have fewer parry tracers. I think a possible solution would be to add parry tracers to the characters' hands as it doesn't make sense that an archer would have his hands go completely through your shield/raised weapon for that sweet OH dagger attack, it would also reduce some of the benefits of facehugging as having the blade spawn inside a character wouldn't be a guaranteed hit. Edit: It's also utter stupidity that shields generate the same blocking area as weapon parries, the larger the weapon/shield the bigger the blocking area should be. Luckily with 1.2 million units sold we might be fortunate enough to see some of these issues addressed in Chivalry 2. emanresu tnuocca fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Aug 20, 2013 |

I'm going be sad when the MAA Float Jump glitch is fixed. You can use it to get behind the fences on Moor, above the walls in the Throneroom, and onto the castle walls with the ballista on Stonehill Village. That last part's definitely why they need to patch it though. You can get into Agatha's spawn during the ram phase or get up there in a FFA or TDM or something and start launching ballista bolts at everyone.
