"Mordhau" is also the proper German name for the execution the Warden performs where they grip the longsword by the blade and then chop it down into the enemy like an axe, using the weight of the hilt to provide extra force. It means "death strike".

Zzulu posted:This looks like it could be a fun little game but it also looks like something out of 2008 and the combat looked kind of trashy If it turns out like Chivalry, it'll basically be almost a different genre than For Honor. If you put FH down as, say, the ArmA of swordswingy games, then Chivalry (and from the looks of it Mordhau as well) would the Unreal Tournament.

You would blunt your sword up trying to murder the other dude in plate armour so you'd use the hilt of your sword to destroy your opponents brain

last night i hit prestige 3 with my kensei, so i popped open my packs and spent some steel to get some gear. after getting the stats i wanted and upgrading stuff, i ended up around gear score 88 i immediately proceeded to go on like a 10+ game win streak in dominion where i scored like 600+ points a round. multiple times i fought off four people cause i am just getting revenge mode so often. barely anyone playing dominion actually knows how to fight, so if you have gear and skill you will just tear through teams like a wet paper bag. gear and revenge mode are both dumb as poo poo and should be removed, but now that i have an advantage it is hilarious and i will play the 8 player modes more.

Chivalry was loving awesome but ruined by an exploitable combat system. There was a surprising amount of depth in it due to your characters model being bound to your mouselook. You could do stuff like look up to tilt your head and upper body backwards, dodging an attack that would otherwise have killed you.

So am I right in thinking that the only thing Raider has going for him is his zone attack? Everything else just gets blocked. Maybe throwing people off of cliffs I guess. Trying Nobushi out, very fun but I am very bad. Just gotta practice that hidden stance.

If the enemy is bleeding it does a whole lot of damage for its speed, and as a heavy attack it also gets you an execution.

Another interesting thing about it is unlike most dodge strikes you can trigger it immediately during any part of the movement, which might not seem like a big deal at first but actually makes it quite flexible. Edit: Also don't forget to tap dodge just after a block or deflect to do an adorable little hustle backwards to get some breathing room when necessary.

The same reason it'd be super bad to limit the characters to sides in general, knights would largely steamroll because they have the best vanguard, best assassin and second best heavy. zeldadude posted:So am I right in thinking that the only thing Raider has going for him is his zone attack?

Cancelling heavy attacks with the light attack stun is pretty reliable until you start playing against good people. But yeah, other than that so are you fairly limited outside of guard breaks. Your zone attack is easy to parry as well. e; you are stupidly strong in 4v4 though, enjoy your dominance. Kainser fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Mar 11, 2017 |

Raider is all about keeping the exact right distance. His reach is pretty drat long and that AOE catches people in group situations and hits all of them really loving hard IF it is in mid-combo. It's pretty easily countered though. He is a mindgames character in a huge way because nothing you do is really guaranteed. Protip though, "wild swinging", the R2, R2, R2 attack requires you to use side attacks. It's pretty loving fast and isn't stopped by being blocked. But if you start it with an overhead you're just going to stand there.

I only just found out that left stick randomly picks a character, which rules in 1v1 or 2v2. Unfortunately my game keeps crashing so I'm not getting to play that much.

Most modes are completely fine for me on PC, except for AI elimination. That mode keeps crashing all the time or I end up joining it right as the game ends  I just play it for orders but man.

Just had a prestige 7 warden tell me that he was tired of fighting the most overpowered class in the game (shugoki, who I was playing as). ...this was after I had fought 4 vortex/zone spamming wardens in 1v1 in a row... The warden telling me this spent most of the 3 matches trying and failing to vortex me because of armor.

I'm sure you know this but really it bears repeating - prestige rank does not relate directly to skill. I mean if anything they could have played a majority of their time in dominion where lazy vortexing will kill 90% of people. This is really a game where unless someone whoops your butt you will never learn to get better. If you play warden and you can just lazy 50/50 vortex your way to most victories, and if you do it every time and win you will feel like you are king poo poo. Depending on how long you got away with poo poo stacking vortex you may or may not decide you need to actually adapt your play if you lose (vs claiming the other class is bullshit). By prestiege 7 I image he had a lot of time to poo poo stack his vortex pretty high and was unable to accept in his idiot mind that he might need to mix it up. In warden's case mixing it up actually means still using vortex but instead vary your charge up time, cancel shoulder bash into neutral (instead of into GB), and start doing dashes into shouldbash with cancels or sometimes with attacks.

Fact: Domination, Elimination, and Skirmish are the most terrible game modes in For Honor. Both in terms of connectivity issues and actual gameplay. Cut them out and just have Duel and Brawl.

Dumb opinion time: I feel like warlord and conq need to be disabled from the game until rebalanced. They are absolutely demolishing both low level and high level play and each day it gets worse and worse. I'd include warden but so far most people have no idea how to properly open up into a vortex so so far so good. Dumber opinion time: make shugoki the only character.
