I can't count the amount of times I'm sitting there squaring off with a dude and I go in for an almost completely vertical overhead and one of my loving teammates run directly in front of me and gets destroyed by it lmao

If I'm around teammates and aware of that I'll use overheads or try to maneuver around for a side swing. My issue is when my teammates weren't around at the start but decide to try to rush in and shoulder check me out of the way from one of my flanks when I'm mid swing and they eat a hammer to the side of their head as they run in.

I wouldn't cry if they removed all ranged weapons except throwables honestly, catapults and ballistas included

So umm why does it seem like some people close 5-10 foot.gaps while horizontal swinging broadswords and I don't seem to do the same? Is this a perk, a mechanic, or just what the game engine does at times?

I think you might be able to sprint at the right time to increase the boost but I've had a hard time confirming it.

archer spam is annoying, but most archers are the type that sits at their spawn shooting specks in the distance, so just flank long way around and get a quad kill with your estoc or whatever, imo. the type of archer who sits 5 feet behind his front line and picks off everyone trying to retreat to heal is horrifying to see though.

I know there are some guides in the OP, are there any others worth reading/watching well? Or any youtubers of note? My game was crashing constantly 2 days ago, and a new driver came out yesterday and I was able to play an hour and a half earlier with no issues, so I'm hoping that trend continues and I can focus on learning more of the mechanics.

The only fix I've found is play in borderless and then exit the game after something cool happens so that SP can instant replay my desktop I'm using Geforce Experience (which I believe is the current name of Shadowplay?) and the overlay I pull up with ALT+Z works perfectly, every shortcut just works actually - screenshots, instant reply, normal recording and streaming to Twitch too! I got many humiliating instant replays of me dying horribly the 2 minutes 30 seconds prior to the 30 seconds where I did something awesome and saved. (BTW, how long do you usually set your instant replays' duration? I found for a game like Mordhau where everything happens very quickly, 3 minutes is almost too much and I'm thinking of putting it to 2,5 or even 2 minutes to avoid having to edit / scour footage for the actual cool things I wanted to save) I have a Ryzen 2600X@4,2Ghz with an EVGA 1080, maybe weaker/older CPUs might have trouble keeping up with it? The game, while pretty well optimized, seem to push my CPU hard and I can imagine a 4 core slower cpu would have trouble doing something else while running the game. Also the game is very choppy on startup, like "freezing" for 4-5 seconds on the main screen before the model of your stabbyman appears, and then another 2-3 second before you can actually move the mouse or select a button or whatever. After that though, it's smooth flowing, since I dialed down the overclock on my GPU I had 0 crashes

Yeah, a longbow is 11 I think. Crossbow is a little less and recurve even less. That's still a bit chunk of 16 points.

I don't know if horses add a lot to the combat other than flavor, either you see them coming and then it's trivially easy to parry, or you don't and you're suddenly dead.

Crossbow and recurve bow cost the same amount of points. The crossbow is easier to aim and does higher damage (barely higher than the longbow, even!) but you're helpless for a long time while reloading it so using it anywhere near a melee fight will quickly get your oblivious head chopped off. Recurve damage is kinda low but it's really fast to aim and shoot so you can stick closer to the fight and still have time to switch to melee instead of dying horribly.

Is this game really as hardware intensive as the requirements make it sound? This would be the first game in years I couldn't play. Granted, my rig is badly in need of upgrades but it's just wort of weird to see. Maybe this is the final sign...

I don't hate archers, I just hate having archers on my team. I admit it, I'm a sweaty try-hard, and I enjoy winning more than I enjoy losing, and in this game, like every game ever, your chances of winning are inversely proportional to the amount of archers/snipers on your team. The guys that use bows as extended spears are few and far between, and the vast majority of people using bows are standing as far back from the action as humanly possible. On one hand, people should be allowed to enjoy the game however they want, but on the other, I hate them.

Glenn Quebec posted:That's because they are underbaked. People should be able to couch against horse charges and horses should be more numerous but less effective. hitting a horse, couching or not, for a nontrivial (say +15-20) amount of damage should make it flinch and slow down if not outright stop. It's already hard to time your swings so they actually hit a galloping horse, if you hit it for 30 damage and it just keeps running by (when if you get hit by the horse, even a graze, you'll be instantly flinched and forfeit any attack you were doing), it's a bit overpowered. Guy on horse = can run around whenever, wherever, as fast as he wants, only way to be stopped is to be hit with a perfectly timed and aimed swing from a polearm Guy on foot = has to have a polearm, time the swing correctly and hit the rider square on because if only the horse is hit, or you don't have a polearm, or you get grazed by the horse while swinging before your weapon connects, basically nothing happens, lol. Yeah the one time you nail it you'll feel like a God, but it's quite rare a horse is actually better defense than full armor + shield, unless you're stupid enough to run it into a wall and get stopped in your tracks

I agree. As is, horses are more of a powerup than, let's say, a balanced piece of equipment. Imagine if it costs 5 points to get the perk to unlock horses. Then 1,2,3 points for a light horse, medium, or heavy. Maxed out, that's half your points. It's impossible to wear the heaviest armor everywhere and you're limited to your weapon loadout too. Lower the amount of damage horse momentum gives + couching against horses and the things you mentioned.
