Horses running into you should follow the same flinch rules as arrows and not be able to interrupt melee swings.

Nah a big rear end horse for sure should flinch you --- but you should be able to flinch back + slow a horses with a hit.

I think horses charging into you should flinch you, but they need to make the hitboxes on that way tighter instead of this giant invisible forcefield around the horse.

I think horses are mostly fine as they are and should feel kind of overpowered, but just make the mechanics more obvious required to force a dismount and maybe make a horse charging at you audible from farther away.

Smacking a horse's leg with pretty much any weapon, and also bear traps, should completely disable the horse.

They already exist. The question is are they operational when placed or after the first tick. Horses one notable flaw is that they're slow to respond at full speed, baiting them into spikes could be a real game show unto itself.

yeah quick spikes don't work vs horses alas because they take their sweet time until they get pointy, though quick walls sometimes do stop the horse at their minimal stage, which is hilarious.

They're still useful because of how horses work - basically like a rail shooter because they only have so many paths - you should be able to put them around a blind corner that a horse has to take at some point.

This is part of why Grad is the one map I slam blue instead of autpick, yes. Though it's mostly the cartoonish string of people opening house doors and sprinting into spikes.

I look forward to them trying to cram horses into the city map somehow and it just being a bloodbath. Sic semper horsemanus.

People still haven't learned that fleeing in a building and closing the door behind them, waiting on the other side to attack when you enter, isn't smart. Kick the door, you'll knock him on his rear end and then you can overhead swing his sorry face off :getin:

In my experience usually that ends with people who think they're clever kicking a door at each other to no result until someone goes up the back way and relieves them of their butts.

You're actually immune to doorkicks if you don't do anything. If you're mid-swing with a melee weapon it'll knock you on your rear end though.
As a result there's a supremely annoying strat where you just block a door with your body to stop them from opening it. The enemy will have to break the door down by attacking it, but as soon as they start doing that you can kick it open and brain them.

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...


it's not particularly intensive though? the minimum GPU is from 2012, and the processor is from 2013 - admittedly it was enthusiast GPU hardware then, but you can upgrade significantly for <$200

I'm fairly certain you could go lower if you stick to lower playercount servers (I found reference to someone using an 2500k + a GTX 580 and getting 80-130fps on 16 player servers on low)

whoa, didn't realize that, I thought it was an auto-stun if the guy was in range of the door "backswing" when you kick it.

It literally happened twice to me in the same match, and both times I kicked the door and rushed in to find the other guy on his rear end (First time I brained him, second time he had a buddy waiting on the side of the door who stabbed my face off, alas such is life in Mordhau :shrug: )

I'm ok with this.
I made a Roman who opens by throwing a short spear at the nearest guy and then pulling out a second one to throw again. 2/2/1 with a kite shield since there aren't any tower ones. Just keep stabbing and chucking.

The community guy showed it off on his twitch stream before. Maybe it only works if you're close enough to stop the door before it starts swinging.

I assume that's the case as if someone is flush with the door on either side trying to open it just makes it glitch out a little and reset back to closed.

Can you chamber-morph a rapier+shield's stab into a kick, for a quick followup? They're near impossible to break without letting them facehug you so you can get a kick in. I've seen guys with heater shields last ridiculously long vs 5 or more opponents on their own.

Yes but they have to be wearing something like 233 or something heavier than a typical rapier shielded would wear.

I'm real bad at chambering, other than stabs. The problem that I have with a lot of tutorial videos is that they don't show actual use case scenarios. It's two dudes, feeding each other easy and specific strikes, which is almost never how it actually plays out. This video does not show it that way, and I got a lot of mileage out of watching it a few times to get a feel for what chambering should look like in "actual" play.

Watching streams is a good way to see chambers in "the real world" too. I was watching one last night and he was playing amazingly well for somebody that was account level 3

if you see a lad in the default plate with no frills and an executioners sword its likely they're a chiv vet and will go hard.



Of course just as often its like facing a loving mall ninja in battle as they swirl their sword through a big arc and than prance backwards and fishhook around dragging all the while, than turn around dumbfounded to find you just stood there out of range of their choreographed routine and waited for them to spend all their goddamn stamina being a dumbass.

You are allowed to edit your loadouts during a match too :eng101:

Handy if you just want to swap out a couple things on a build or outfit you like, rather than make an entirely new thing. Like if I'm switching between a frying pan or blacksmith's hammer for a peasant.

Or you smash the 'clone build' button and edit that one's loadout.

I made a build called something like 332 base that has no perks or weapons that I can just pick up and swap things in and out of quickly. If I want something else I can clone my 230 halberdier. It's usually quick. I need to do the same thing with a shielded build but I haven't gotten the armor/perk balance on a mace/arming sword thing working yet.
