Game good, and I am bad, but I am getting better. I made a custom class for use in Frontline that involves the Bloodlust perk, heavy armor and a warhammer. I bash skulls in until I pick up a weapon with better reach (personal favorite is a spear) and then I just go to town. I'm also having a good time just playing plain old engineer, repairing fortifications is super helpful, and the spikes he can lay down (alternative to archer cover) have gotten me a surprising number of kills. So far the only thing I actively dislike, besides people who are better than I am, is firepot spam. That poo poo gets old fast.

Is there a way to heal in frontline if you don’t have bandages? I ran around near spawn and found an ammo resupply box but nothing for healing.

The default health regeneration is actually crazy fast but it only kicks in if you don't sprint (or jump, or swing your weapon) for about 5 seconds. I spent a long time confused about this and thinking there was no way to heal because why would I ever not be sprinting ???

Should be noted that *any* exertion cancels it which also means climbing ladders and such.

They're one of the last places you can be a really exclusionary dick in the name of historical accuracy. I really appreciate what mount and blade did by just saying, 'screw it, its all fantasy!' This game is pretty much fantasy too since its mixing over 1000 years of real armor and weapons with game of thrones generic leather fantasy armor and vikings and also ninjas?? All at once.

I can't imagine ever not playing with bloodlust. Being a little tougher never seems worth the trade off of being able to heal fully mid combat. Great, you have heavier armor but what does it matter if you are half dead after a flight or two or three? Being faster and fully healing seems stronger.

Thanks I was probably frantically sprinting all over looking for a medical tent or something the whole time so that makes sense. Also reading it this sounds very familiar so maybe they did mention it in the tutorial.

I dunno the heal you get from a kill as is works well enough. 5 points is a lot.

In case anyone else hasn't noticed this: when you equip a weapon in your custom mercenary's loadout, you should click the Advanced Stats button. It has a huge amount of information, including exact damage values for each hit location (taking into account armor types), as well as showing you what that weapon's alt mode actually does. For example, it helped me figure out that the Billhook can actually pull enemies closer to you on a successful strike, while thrusts push them away normally. Its alt mode just flips the blade around, so strikes push and thrusts pull. Really annoying that it seems like you can't view the advanced stats without buying the weapon first, though.

The faster regen start perk is a single point and honestly if you're in a situation where you can't escape long enough to regen you're probably dead anyway, at current levels of skill.

I haven't tried that perk but I have been using the bandage which is also just a point and it's been a big enhancer to my survivability. The throwing axe is also a great pick for just 2 points. You'll end up doming a lot of archers who think they're safe standing still just a short distance behind the melee.

yeah, bloodlust is obviously strong but I think its a lot less "must have" than it initially seems to some people given the cost and other healing mechanics in game - definitely something to be said for just totally ignoring incidental damage as you pull of a great flank and chew through dudes, but there's also something to be said for not simply getting one-shot when someone gets the drop on you I think ultimately its fairly playstyle/game mode dependent LGD fucked around with this message at 20:04 on May 1, 2019 |

Harry Potter on Ice posted:The thread needs more build theorycrafting for .5 and under KDA imo It's kind of hard to do without knowing why KRD is low though. If you are having issues with parrying then a short sword mixed with a buckler helps. If it's an issue judging distance then a two handed sword is better. If you can never land hits then something fast and light would be best. Armor 3 on head and chest is a lock for all cases. In terms of perks you basically want to go full survival, taking the health regeneration speed boost and stam-on-hit. Spears aren't that great in this game imo because chambering stabs is so easy. Basically the best you can get with spears is going all in with the short spear and shield and hoping they die before they catch on.

The health regeneration perk basically doesn't matter. If you can back out of combat you'll probably have the opportunity to full-heal regardless and if you can't it does nothing. I'd rather have a bandage or just more armor.

I picked up the billhook since I noticed it had the same point cost as the longsword I was using and dang this thing is strong. All the poking of the regular spear with some really mean swings.

CuddleCryptid posted:Spears aren't that great in this game imo because chambering stabs is so easy. Basically the best you can get with spears is going all in with the short spear and shield and hoping they die before they catch on. Step 1. Approach with your group. Step 2. Block literally every attack coming at you. This will not be hard. Step 3. Aim for people who are engaged or if you can't get to one, engage someone when you can't be flanked. Step 3b. Use your superior reach to blow the heads off of anyone coming in your direction. Step 4. Poke balls of everyone else off because people don't know how to counter a sustained block and you can get off your attacks quicker than a greatsword can slash twice. Step 5. If you are about to be flanked, backpedal. Solo fights require marginally more strategy. Marginally. If you don't wear very heavy armor you will also be faster than most melee builds and have good odds of running if flanked. If you can't escape and are outnumbered, backpedal while taking occasional stabs and if you can't kite them, hope backup arrives in time. This may not work forever but right now it works very, very well. The reach, mobility, speed and strong defense works well on anything except uh... people who can party well. Which is not many people and they you can probably ignore and disengage from. Diogines fucked around with this message at 21:09 on May 1, 2019 |

Probably mentioned already, but there are duel servers if you get tired of crowds I've loved dueling on chivalry and warband for many years and finding another game like this has really tickled me pink. Scratched that itch way better than for honor did, by a long shot. You have to bow/flourish your weapon before fighting someone in duel servers. I hope to see some custom maps made with this in mind soon, or maybe even a duel mode. I'd prefer something more like warband's duels where you can wander around and both parties have to press a key and accept the duel before you can deal damage instead of chivalry's janky duel matchmaking. A swarm of angry nerds and the occasional admin works to keep it 1v1 for now, though! Also probably mentioned, but there are console commands. You can open the console by pressing the tilde key (double tap to open full console) where you can votekick players. I can't check right now but there's probably a way to mute people in the console too, and if their name is messed up and untypeable you can use commands with their player number instead. playerlist will give a numbered list of the players in the server. Their server browser also sucks very bad and needs to be improved, like the option to add favorite servers. Even if the 'recent' tab worked that'd be a big improvement.
