I made a throwing knife "master" build that's embarrassingly fun and effective

OK guys you were incredibly right. Either my muscle memory is already improving since yesterday, or the new loadouts I created with the recommended weapons (except those with a level requirement like rapier and war axe, still level 3) make a huge difference I have now 3 favorite layouts: 2/2/1 halberd 3/3/2 poleaxe + lute (probably will replace the lute with a 1 point perk, it was just for fun - the poleaxe is disgustingly versatile without sacrificing armor) 2/3/1 short spear + shield + bastard sword (this is extremely versatile too, and excellent in defense) do I *really* need a secondary weapon on the first two? I find that if I get disarmed I might as well be dead already, rarely get the time to switch to a secondary, and the poleaxe is a do-it-all weapon if ever there was one, while the halberd ... well I thought about getting a dagger to go with it, since it's very awkward at short range, but I am scared to remove armor and anyway that's a "team play" build, surely not for dueling

Just pick up a dead man's weapon. I use 3 / 2 / 2 eveningstar + the health regen. I wade in and clobberknock a person or two and then leave to heal. Pretty fun.

I don't know how the customization works at all, can you combine standard classes with perks? Because I just want to play Veteran until I get enough gold for my own class, but I also don't want to burn to death immediately

I skip leg armor on every single build, people just don't seem to aim for the legs very much, are Goons actually wearing leg armor?

I've never been disarmed in my first 15-20 hours of the game other than the scripted instance in the tutorial. I don't think it's very likely unless you're constantly swinging blindly or in a very very long parry/chamber exchange. I would also suggest finding somewhere to save 1 point in your builds and pick up the tenacious perk. It's a huge help in staying alive longer if you focus on letting yourself rest between fights. For example, my personal halberd build is 2-2-0 for armor to save that extra point, and while skipping leg day is supposed to be bad I've only been killed by a bear trap like once. timn fucked around with this message at 19:20 on May 6, 2019 |

Sure, but that is a very small portion of players. And I would rather have tenacious and friendly fire perks 95% of the time?

hmmm should I replace 2/3/1 with 3/2/1 on my medium armor+shield loadout? Shield helps with body defense a lot, but I still feel plenty of people will mostly hack at your torso anyway I honest to God like the points system a lot, there's always compromises to be made but you would really, really want to get everything. Can't wait until I'm good enough to actually go light on armor and get more/bigger weapons or more perks and fun stuff like firebombs or secondary weapons to play around

A weird meta thing I've thought about is that some of the cosmetics and especially one of the higher level locked medium chest armors have long aprons which could visually conceal what you are (or aren't) wearing on your legs. Though this won't stop someone from seeing what you have on your player card during the death screen if you kill them.

Cowcaster posted:bigger parry window. kind of like the parry shields in dark souls. they also affect the stamina cost of blocking weapons cost differing amounts of stamina to block (i.e. parrying a polearm costs more stamina than stopping a dagger), and the weapon you parry with provides a discount to this (i.e. it'll cost you less stamina to parry that polearm with another polearm than with a dagger of your own) buckler replaces the discount to blocking with one equivalent to a heavy 2h weapon, so it will bring a fast/light 1h weapon like the rapier up to parity in terms of stamina efficiency

discovered last night that all of the heavily armored, 3/3/3 knights really don't like when you bring a mace to a duel server to kill heavily armed 3/3/3 knights. Buckler/Mace is a pro-rear end combination btw.

I can deal with a shield guy, I can deal with a rapier guy, but yeah shield+rapier is just something I can't seem to work around yet. Rapier dudes just spam stab which is easy to deal with when they don't also have the defense of the shield to fall back on lol Pro-tip, something I've learned to start doing on duel servers and I'm like the only motherfucker out here doing it: Chamber an attack, but feint out of the chamber and start another attack. People always block after the chamber to get their turn back, so feint before your own attack starts but after the chamber and you'll catch them every time.

Trying some stuff out last night, found putting one set of spikes in the middle of a path tends to work pretty well for defensive purposes rather than trying to entirely block off an entrance. Since you aren't covering the whole thing you typically won't see them smashed up by enemies that can otherwise walk around them, but people on horses tend to smash right into them without even looking and it's hilarious. Nothing quite like seeing a horseman riding off into the distance after doing an attack run and then getting immediately face planted into the ground off his horse.

So apparently they sold 500k copies already, which isn't bad for a tiny team who all work remotely. Well deserved though, game's awesome. https://steamcommunity.com/games/629760/announcements/detail/1616140423563616612 quote:It's been one hell of a ride thus far, and it's only been 7 days.

This explains why I got my weapon slapped from my hand while chambering some spear dude's every attack. I had no idea chambering had such a heavy stamina cost.

That's like.. nearly 15 million bux if I do easy math of 29.99. so...after steams cut they have about 10 mill to split between 11 people.

Yeah, regular rapier dude running around with no armor is decent. Normally I can squeeze in a poke or two at the face to end things. Once they combine heavy armor and shield though  Any other weapon combo I feel like I learned something from the death, or can theory how to beat them next time. Just not stabstabstabstab lol.

They made only around 300k for their initial kickstarter pitch, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what this team can do with some real-rear end money.

Commoners posted:The rapier, short spear, halberd, and zweihander seem to be kind of the outlier weapons from what I've seen. Feels like the latter two are balanced by having a huge cost even though you can mulch teams with them, but the rapier and ss are just kind of ???. Those are just the weapons that kind of have alarm bells ringing in my head as far as being kind of out there in their roles and really easy to use/painful to play against. halberd and zwei are both weapons that take 11 loving points out of 16, which means that it's okay that they're super good because you have no backup weapon, no shield, bad armour and bad perks. I honestly think they're both fine. Halberd can maybe do with a small buff honestly. short spear and rapier are far cheaper so you can combine them with shields, backup weapons, decent armour and perks, but they're still super loving strong. A friend of mine goes Rapier with T2 armour and a buckler and routinely goes through people like he's a wood chipper despite genuinely not knowing how to play the game in any way beyond mashing the stab button

Nalesh posted:Is he using the directional key mode for swing angle? You get twice as many throwing knives and they do almost the same damage against unarmored targets, but they suffer a lot more against armor, doing less than half the damage of axes against heavy body armor. Also, axes can apparently get one-hit-kills against light armor and below.

OP strategy once you get comfortable with many weapons: Make a character with 3/3/preference armor and stack them up with perks. Take many good perks. Scavenge a weapon from the battlefield.

Is anyone else having the game freeze and become unresponsive if you alt-tab out? I keep trying to do poo poo like browse SA on my second monitor while waiting for the next round in skirmish mode and the game will just drop to 1 FPS for a few seconds and then totally freeze and need to be killed with the task manager. TorakFade posted:do I *really* need a secondary weapon on the first two?

Maybe worth carrying one around with big heavy weapons like waraxe/maul/exe sword since you can bring people to super low HP with just one hit and then potentially finish them off with a dagger poke.
