Also it's funny how many people seem to declare mission accomplished when they get me to 0 and take me leg off or something. Then they just turn and try to walk away, only to get my flying falchion to the back of their head. Then I hop on over and collapse on top of them in a bloody heap, mid-laugh.

i noticed this in chiv also (and PVK2, and to a lesser extent, M&B warband), games like this tend to attract a certain type of... supremacist. In fact, the duel server I'd been slumming around on since launch day seems to have several of them in administrative positions, which is just lovely. I feel like that kind of community strongly contributed to the slow death of chivalry, because it seems to be prevalent among the regular players. I'm sure a large percentage of them would have you believe they're just trolling and trying to get a rise out of people, but I'm sure you're able to form your own judgement even without hearing specifics. I have a dirty feeling I know what attracts them to games with knights and swords and what have you. Which kinda blows, because knights and swords have been a favorite fantasy setting of mine since I was a little kid and now they're forcing an unsavory association into my head. I also don't like seeing black kids get run out of servers because they're bothered by all of the Actual Factual Racism, which has happened at least twice I've seen, to one guy that attempted to defend himself and another that got found out because of their profile picture. I like mordhau, a lot. If we ever open a dedicated goon dueling server, please post about it in the thread so I can hopefully keep my sanity

Without batting around the bush, here, uh - knights & vikings are extremely used as symbols of white supremacy, yes. Any game that has them as a big part of its aesthetic will attract that crowd, and you better believe every single one of these kinds of games has.

Different game but me and friends kept a screenshot wall of fame for every heated gamer moment we got thrown at us in the duel mode of For Honor and whoo boy even online gaming since a kid i havent seen it like that until we started playing. This game has come close a couple times though.

Do you have to stay through the end of the game to get any xp/gold? Kind of kills the jump in/out nature of log game modes.

Yeah, i kind of like it because it incentivizes people to stay in losing matches though. I will say that 1000 tickets in frontline seems like way too much, especially since the game is usually devided by who took central point first and ive only seen a real back and forth a couple of times, and a halfway through the match reversal once.

The benefits of being able to communicate in large scale public games such as this one are vastly overrated. Not being constantly reminded how awful people can be when anonymous in a consequence free environment is vastly underrated. The first thing I did when firing up this game, and the first thing I do when firing up any online game these days is to disable chat. ("these days" is kind of bullshit, people have always been terrible in online games, my tolerance for it is the only thing that has changed)

Man, some of these frontlines maps are stupendously unbalanced. I have no idea how the blue team is supposed to ever win Camp, for example. Taiga's not much better off, either.

Ive seen blue win camp a bunch by just holding middle hard. My favorite loss to blue camp was the time some absolute lads stole reds catapult and brought it over to their side. If you want to win pick red team is the lesson ive learned though, generally.

So far my favorite thing to do is sprint behind enemy lines and shove archers off the wall. I forget what map it is but there’s one with a guard tower that has a ladder which is really good for this as they usually never check to see if anyone’s coming up.

The frontline game mode is weird in quite a few ways. Each match starts super quick such that most players haven't even loaded in by the time flags start getting taken and usually whichever side first takes the middle flag just steamrolls from there. Objectives are weird too. Some mesh with the pace of gameplay (push this ram/cart forward) or are kinda neat (kill/defend a special NPC) while others are just annoying to do (hold E on a peasant for 10 seconds or walk really really slowly with a barrel. And while they do the job of being big murder pits, the maps feel a bit too big for just 48 players.

I've been kinda staying away from swords so far because there's too many of them around already, but I gotta say, bastard sword and buckler does feel pretty nice. Damage is alright, it's pretty quick, and it's juuuust got enough range to play footsies. Anyway, have some gifs: The rare 7-chamber combo: https://i.imgur.com/1LZt94i.mp4 Sic semper archers: https://i.imgur.com/DmGGHni.mp4

Is there any point to using the bastard sword two-handed? According to the advanced stats screen the only difference is that it's slower. Is there something not evident from the stats?

I think the game shows this keybind when you're dead and waiting to respawn but not when you're spectating for some reason.

Man, I am not doing well with the bastard sword. I keep loving whiffing with the stab constantly. EDIT: Well, I say that and then immediately go on a four kill rampage shanking fools in the face.

Slower in this game doesn't mean worse necessarily. Theoretically you can do a lot more drag shenanigans to throw people off their parry timing.

yeah, my understanding is that the big difference is in how their animations work so you may well get more favorable swing timing/arcs with 2h instead of 1h (or vice versa) I'd have thought it might affect stamina drain and stamina drain negation on block, but they appear to pretty much function as 2h weapons even when used 1 handed

Well at any rate I stopped bashing my head into the Frontline meatwall and switched to a 16 player TDM server, and just finished a match at 21/14, so I think I'm just better at smaller scale engagements. Or I'm just starting to get in the zone with the bastard/buckler combo. More testing is required.

I would have assumed that you could put a bit more weight into two-handed swings and do more damage and/or stamina drain. But no, it's just a whopping 25-50ms difference in thrust/swing release times according to the spreadsheet. I wish it wasn't so tedious to study the differences between the weapons, even with the help of spreadsheets.
