Please bitches. If nothing else I am a gentleman
I made a merc that is basically the Man At Arms from Chiv

1/2/1

Arming Sword
Dagger
Throwing Axes

Dodge
And then whatever other perks you want.

Getting my eye back in definitely. I die a huge amount in frontline though as it is difficult to finish people before someone else comes up and kills me.

Oh well.

Game is so goddamn fun though.

3/3/3 and a maul. I call him MC HAMMER and I'm enjoying walking into groups of 2 or 3 players wearing no helmet or torso armor and just goin' to town. What's up with the people who only have on pants and carry a spear? They crumple under any weapon but Frontline servers are full of them.

The spear has basically no downsides so they're probably running Bloodlust + Dodge or something like that.

Why does the button say "Matchmaking" but i can freely change teams?

Orv
May 4, 2011
My vague understanding is that it's supposed to be skill-based matching into a server and beyond that it doesn't care but frankly I can't imagine how you could rate someone's skill in this game unless they're regularly going 60/3.

By completely blowing off my BS you have passed the first trial
I'm 99% sure there is no Elo based matchmaking whatsoever and it just jams you in an open server

Wouldn't surprise me, they talked a little about skill matchmaking before launch and then never really mentioned it again AFAIK.

There is no way skill based matchmaking is currently in the game.

I strongly disapprove


It isn't, but an ELO matchmaking was a stretch goal that was reached, iirc

Fake edit: yup



Real edit: also if you bastards were there back then and put your money where your mouth is, by now we could be fighting in the Crusades :mad: (boy, that would surely go well with the white supremacy angle :v: )

Personally I cannot for the life of me get used to using level 3 armour. Even just a helmet seems to have such an impact on your speed that it's a significant hindrance to controlling distance, and a full 3 loadout makes you borderline immobile. Besides, level 2 is generally enough to avoid 1hks from just about everything, which is more or less everything I want what with how easy it is to regain health.
One nice thing is nice that your leg armor has next to no impact on your speed. Which I like, because legs take the least damage overall anyways across the board (fun outliers to punish people who skip leg day aside).

1/1/3 is super fast! (While 2/0/0 or 0/2/0 is still a notable drop in speed). I can't think of any reason to take 1/1/3 unless the entire enemy team was using beartraps, but there yah go.

There are no downsides to protecting your legs except point cost and fashion needs.

That's the only way to afford dodge and a spear. Personally I don't think it's worth it, but I also suck so ymmv.

I would have gladly backed this game on KS if I knew of it's existence. Somehow I didn't find out about it until like 2 days after release.

Getting a spear off the ground with a perk'd up loadout works, just don't die (until you get teamkilled by a catapult).

The combination of timing - too many KS and EA failures at that time - and the way Chivalry had ended up both mechanically and community wise made me extremely reluctant to back the game at the time but I really wish I had.

Has anyone else's performance gotten worse since the hotfixes? Not counting the brief period of time between them introducing and fixing the party member UI element.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Mordhau/comments/bmvtza/when_roleplayers_discover_the_secret_new_horse_map/

this looks dope, horse battles needs to be its own game mode. Apparently it's a map that private server owns can add to their rotation but it doesn't have name or icon.

I get the occasional FPS drop, sometimes it's a few seconds and sometimes it'll kick in half or more way into a match and persist until the next map. They're not frequent enough to kill my murder boner but when they do happen they're usually bad enough to kill my ability to do much fighting.

circle-game joke thing we used to do when we were kids where you make someone look down your fingers in that position and then it's like "gotcha bitch" and you hit them on the shoulder. lovely people are trying to co-opt it into some kind of white power symbol but of course if something has the chance to be related something lovely, it's 100% related to something lovely.

daww sweetie, this game makes a lot of references to internet memes I'm pretty sure they knew what they're about~ Like be real do you think they were referencing fun baby school shenanigans from the nineties or the relevant and more contemporary context?
