there are two things to watch out for in duel servers:

1) hooded knights, these are 90% of the time easy kills, you can only tell them apart by color because otherwise they all look the loving same and they're all using zweihanders

2) naked guys with farm tools. run.

Hooded knights only know how to do huge sweeping attacks and usually bumrush into an already existing melee and score kills that way. Parry and then morph an attack and they're done.

I strongly disapprove


Also you can play horde mode , and you will be swarmed by up to 64 not sure of the actual number, but A poo poo TON OF AI peasants that will literally fling poo poo at you. I got killed by a turd once, complete with "BOT turd TorakFade" message. I was the last man standing and everybody was counting on me. It was shameful.

It would seem like Mordhau is currently Steam's 8th most played game according to steamcharts.com, with 50,000 players right now and a peak of 60,000 (more than double what Chivalry ever had as peak, which was 25,000 or so) and 6 million hours played already. For a game that released 9 days ago, that's pretty fantastic and I am super happy I backed this on kickstarter, back when it wasn't even certain they'd make the funding goal.

Also mod tools are on the horizon due to being a stretch goal from kickstarter, and with that you can bet people will have a field day and make the game even more fun than it already is. Popularity will probably die down a little as people get bored and move on to other things, but with those numbers I'm fairly sure this game will be around for a loooong while yet (plus popularity will rise with sales or free weekends or whatever) and besides normal patches, mod tools, updates it will also probably spawn some kind of DLC / sequel.

I hated what Chivalry became but goddamn does this game scratch that itch good. Been playing as a swole maul-man, splatting heads left in deathmatch until the entire enemy team rushes my rear end. Smashing a guy and seeing his pals hesitate to be the next to recieve a paddlinŽ is always satisfying.

Note: cc2 after every kill will have enemies frothing at the mouth to rush you, making them fairly easy to predict. Psychological warfare works!

Not to be a sweaty fundenier or anything but shields are super unfun to play against. Especially if combined with a weapon like a rapier or short spear because you know exactly what is coming, faking them out is mostly a wash and trying to get behind them ends with you getting stabbed.

Its effective for sure, but plain frustrating to play against.

Babe Magnet

As long as I have a weapon with good reach I don't mind them too much. With rapiers and shortspears, do what I did in the video and feed them a lot of easy stab chambers. The parry you do after the chamber is cheaper than their chamber stamina-wise. Wear their stamina down, slap the shield away and make sure they don't get it back.

On opening up the game again I was given another prompt to accept another 10,000 gold, after already taking the 10k once today. I refused it because I didn't want to be a dirty double-dipper. HOPE YOU ALL ARE AS ETHICAL AS I AM.

Also with a shield up it is not easy to see the lower body of your opponent, so you're pretty vulnerable to kicks

I just remembered that Kickstarter backers should have gotten a unique cosmetic item, the golden teeth. Where do I get mine, I need it :mad:

Fired this up last night, before I knew it, it was 1:30 in the morning. Game good.

Right now I've mostly just been using the Footman preset and poking people from behind my teammates, now that I have 10k welfare gold I'll be able to play around with custom classes some more.

Nah they've intelligently made the decision that perks (except peasant which is the exception) don't effect loadout or efficacy of weapons.

I expect I'm going to hate myself later for being as ethical as you were. But the increasing gap between levels means I will probably earn another 10k by the time I go from level 26 to 30 anyways.

Is the war axe the only melee weapon that has no alt mode? Hell, even the maul can be thrown! (which is the most humiliating throw kill for my money, it only goes about 30 feet even with a sky-high arc) Seems like it should get the same grip mod as the evening star.

The war axe doesn't have an alt grip mode because it's perfect as it is.

I seem to have entered the worst duel server in Mordhau. Top five guys have about 120+ kills and 10-15 deaths between them, and they're spazzing out and constantly using drags, so I'm learning nothing. Literally identical to chiv tryhards.

Manually, hell no that thing is impossible to do anything but plink out basic tunes and make a bunch of noise.

Oh my God hell yes thank you. Looks like you have to find a good MIDI version of the song you want to play and 'tune' it from there. Everyone please add your best tracks.
