Stokes posted:If you pick the peasant perk does it give a damage bonus to the weapons you can use as a peasant or is it a straight RP style debuff. The peasant perk actually unlocks access to a lot of peasant-only weapons like frying pans, sticks, shovels, pitchforks, and hoes. There's no special damage bonus but non-peasants can't start with them at all.

I've tried a majority of the weapons so far, and the only one I've bounced off of is the halberd, which is strange because I love the bardiche and spear, and I like the pole axe, but the halberd just feels so slow, and the point cost is huge.

i picked this up for friday night drunk time fun and honestly the most confusing part of the game so far is the unlock system. i get gold from playing but i need to level up before i can use stuff? and stuff is different depending on what game mode i'm playing? or does it not matter? do i need to make a custom class for every loadout i want to try? why didn't the tutorial tell me which one's the yell button? please help me mordhau thread

Every weapon should be unlocked by about level 5 or 6. After that, it's a small gold cost to unlock a weapon and a big gold cost to make it look real fancy. Armor is cosmetic except for your head, chest, or legs being Tier 0/1/2/3. All heavy helmets are the same stat-wise, for example. You have different loadouts between the normal game modes and Battle Royale/Horde, but that's because you don't get to start with armor and weapons in the latter two game modes. Unlocks are shared between both. The only other modifier to loadouts/unlocking is taking the Peasant perk, which restricts your armor and weapon choices and gives you some more options for a bunch of lovely peasant weapons. If you want to try new things, you gotta' make a custom loadout, yeah. The tutorial didn't mention yelling because it doesn't want to just tell you how to use the most powerful techniques the in game.

Extremely Pro Tip: create a "base" loadout with all the colors and voice and face and other cosmetic crap set up the way you like (but no armor/weapons) and then you can hit the button to copy that class whenever you want to make a new loadout.

I actually was going to ask about hitboxes. How much larger is the shield hitbox than the shield? It seems like there must be some difference because I've hit the shield when only close to it. Also, what spread does the parry have? Full front of the body?

It seems like there must be some difference because I've hit the shield when only close to it. The shield hitboxes wrap a little around to the sides to prevent you from just completely no selling every block they make but above and below (seem to be) perfectly in the model. Parry is a cone from the center of your vision, you have to look at the weapon to some degree unless it's coming right at you.

is chambering any more effective than parrying or is it just an alternative way to do it?

Cowcaster posted:is chambering any more effective than parrying or is it just an alternative way to do it? Chambering recovers faster, so if you're exclusively on the defense against a faster weapon you can get back on the attack. That said I'm starting to notice some ugly cheese with rapiers. It's fast enough on the stab that if someone is face hugging you you're basically not going to be able to parry it without super low ping/high framerate so people are just going around with rapiers stabbing repeatedly with no consequence. Footwork is the answer but it's not always the easiest to get away in the bigger modes.

Cowcaster posted:is chambering any more effective than parrying or is it just an alternative way to do it? It's really just another tool in your fencing kit. A chamber can be parried or counter-chambered and it costs quite a bit of stamina so it's not just a free attack. Chambering can be really tricky to pull off consistently in my experience, especially if your opponent is accelerating or dragging their attacks. I'm terrible at Mordhau but I think it's probably a bit better to focus on getting parry timing down early on. It's a very foundational part of the combat and at least at lower skill levels it seems like most fights end because of one of the participants whiffing their parry.

Cowcaster posted:is chambering any more effective than parrying or is it just an alternative way to do it? Chambering is kind of worse than normal parry-riposte in most situations because it costs a whopping 20 stamina so if you do it more than a few times you'll be dropping your weapon from exhaustion. However unlike parrying it doesn't "lose" to getting fooled by feints. If someone feints and you try to chamber it you'll just hit them for free whereas if you parry the feint you'll be wide open to get hit yourself. So mostly chambering is a counter to feinting.

This game is really fun! I made a dude in full heavy armor with an executioner's sword and it's really satisfying to run around beheading people. Sometimes more than one at once! I'll also run in the middle of a big group of enemies and swing wildly while strafing. Sometimes the group will panic enough that I'll get 4 or 5 kills before falling. Yeah, I'm that guy with no skill who just spam swings a max damage weapon. Halberd on a horse is also stupidly powerful when you hit. I was just just in a game where an enemy and I were riding right at each other, me with a halberd and him with some sword. Easily killed him in one shot while being just out of range of his sword. Though tbh, most of the time on a horse I'll just end up getting stuck in some corner where I will be stabbed to death by several enemies.

Midgetskydiver posted:Can someone explain what "feint or parry" means? As is, what is gained / lost by binding it to a different button from regular parry? It means it will contextually feint if you’re attacking or parry otherwise instead of only doing exactly what you tell it. This means you can more easily have all of your sword controls exclusively bound to the mouse and will be more able to muscle-memory/intuitively do melee moves, the downside is that you need to learn to double click RMB when you want to abort to a parry while attacking or else you’ll just cancel your attack into eating big damage.

Midgetskydiver posted:Can someone explain what "feint or parry" means? As is, what is gained / lost by binding it to a different button from regular parry? Some people find it more intuitive to control that way. As for downsides, it you can't hit the feint-or-parry button to cancel directly from the beginning of your attack into a parry, which is possible with the regular parry button. Instead you'll feint first, so you have to double-tap it and pay a little extra stamina for the feint. Depending on how often you do that it may or may not be a big deal. Gamerofthegame posted:I dunno what the point of doing counter archery damage is, the longbow usually one shots lights which is what archers are running around with anyway The crossbow doesn't though, and the crossbow is much nicer for popping out of cover to take a shot at an enemy archer and then hiding in safety again.

Watching heads explode from maul smashes is a joy I didn't know I needed in my life. Also, to an earlier discussion: if you check out the advanced stats for your weapons you'll see that the game sets maximum mouselook speed while swinging melee weapons, making Chivalry-style helicoptering impossible.

Met a guy who'd just hold W and spam stabs, and there was pretty little I could do. Even when I got the timing down to chamber the thrust, his next attack auto-chambered my own chamber, and I couldn't recover in time to do anything about that one and got hit. Couldn't get back out of reach, either, since we had similar armour and going forwards is faster than backwards. On that note, I kinda wish there was a slightly larger collision radisu between player characters. Sometimes dudes get in so close you can't even see their weapon anymore, though it can still damage you.

Chambering is good but it’s not a necessarily a free hit. It is, however, awesome when you chamber one enemy but hit another with the actual counter attack.

This game is so great. Been using a combination of the bastard sword and short spear with pretty good results (mainly I just find the short spear fun to throw at people). But then I discovered the maul and it's slow rear end timing seems to have clicked with me even more. So many exploding heads.
