Mr.Unique-Name posted:It's not really using a throwing weapon, it's throwing one of the weapons that you can throw, basically the maul or most 1 handed weapons. I've just been kinda shocked at how people never seem to parry it at all. I had one guy say "I didn't realize you could throw the maul." Oh, in that case, even moreso its fine to use.

Unlucky7 posted:So I never played Chivalry or the like. Is this game worth trying out for at least the Steam Refund period? I never played chiv either and I'm having fun. Give it a go. Make sure to throw the maximum number of bear traps everywhere and swear under your breath whenever your teammates obliviously walk right into them.

If you're worried about being bad at the game because you're not a chivalry vet, don't be. You will absolutely be clowned on by Sword Lords with a million hours between the Mordhau Alpha and Chiv, but 95% of the players in this game will run into you head first just spamming left mouse click. Taking a moment to practice chambering, parrying, and feints will put you in the top 10% of player skill easily. Or you can do what VaS does and run executioner sword and spam left click at pubbies until you're 60/10 lol

That's one of the situations where you can't do much but go "well... gently caress... I got outplayed" It's weird how there aren't that many games where you get situations where poo poo like that happens. It's like a fighting game that is a bit more immersive.

also I see obviously new people joining duel servers and getting blown up by the whole server because they are just attacking if you want to duel someone in a server, run up to them and do a weapon flourish, X and then 1 by default. If they flourish back you are good to go

Rapier and heater shield guy kept hanging out at the catapult and fuckin me up because I love the catapult and kept coming back. Eventually I got frustrated and threw my maul at him, which somehow went over his shield and hit him in the head, killing him. Also, learning to duck has changed the game for me. As soon as someone runs in with their horizontal swing I duck under and come back up with a head-removing greatsword swing.

You don't even really have to flourish, just make it obvious that you are asking for permission to initiate a fight. I see crouch spam, distance weapon swings, slapping the ground with an overhead etc. Weapon flourish is the universal call-and-response, though. Also unless you completely trash them/get completely trashed in a couple of seconds, toss a "good fight" or a compliment out lol

Babe Magnet posted:drat I went to make an eveningstar build and this thing is expensive. I know it seems better than the war axe but is it 3 extra points better? drat Eveningstar is a more reasonable maul, not a war axe. The maul loses stamina on parries, eveningstar does less damage but has further reach. Executioner is a better war axe and both attract bloodlust noncerebal players. megane posted:Does blocking with your fists actually do anything It blocks fists, if you're brawling you need to be hugging enemies so you can hitstun them to death.

I think I'll still stick with the war axe. It lets me fit in cool useful perks like wrecker and fireproof, while also armoring up a little and carrying bandages.

holy loving moley, I made a peasant with a carving knife and second wind, getting in three stabs before an enemy can throw a swing than parrying it when they do is good... when they forget to put armor somewhere though its GREAT because the carving knife, while shittier than bare naked fists in most contexts can shred anyone who forgets to wear armor anywhere. Of course its pure meme material and not a real strategy but by gently caress is it fun to recreate a hobo attack and watch a fully armored knight piss their tin pants.

Ran into a guy using an aim / block bot. Think it's worth making an account on the Mordhau forums to report him? https://clips.twitch.tv/WiseRenownedCroquetteBlargNaut https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198036188603/ He's even got VAC bans on record. My last session had me getting scammed out of the greatest killstreak I've ever had, I was so close to being cool. At first I blamed the catapult, but after watching this I realize I got hit by the trebuchets. https://clips.twitch.tv/IgnorantZealousRatBudStar Hommando fucked around with this message at 11:41 on May 11, 2019 |

I just hopped back on frontlines and suddenly I'm slamming rear end left and right Highly recommend getting stomped over and over by people that are good at the game, if nothing else it'll help your parrying and patience I'm still not Good by any means and still die all the time but i'm way better at killing folk.

3rd person seems a lot easier to parry but I miss stabs. Also, can last a bit longer in teamfights since I can see around me a bit more. Anyone else have strong preferences?

Literally the only thing I have learned so far about the game, is that people who are new to the genre, and / or absolute garbage tier, should stick with weapons that are "maxed" out in some way. Stick with the long spear, or a polearm for absurd reach, maul / eveningstar / war axe / battle axe for big spirit dick damage, zweihander and greatsword for your lovely braveheart cosplay as well as more big spirit dick damage. It seems like middle of the road weapons are much much harder for new players to exploit their jack of all trades trait than the aforementioned weapons. Possible expceptions to that rule being Longsword because it has juuuuust enough reach to still be awesome, and rapier because idiots like me still aren't good at dealing with stab stab stab stab stab stab stab stab stab. Once you learn the feel of the controls and how a battle might flow, you might then transition into the middle ground stuff.

I think the high damage weapons are just better all around because of how the game works, its about second guessing and reacting and the more hits it takes to kill somebody the more chances you have to make mistakes in addition to giving the enemy more chances to defend and stall. Especially for objective modes, its a bit different in duels when you dont have to worry about a long ttk meaning an enemy might just respawn and rejoin the fight you started by killing them. The amount of people I've killed by just engaging with two feints into two sideswipes with the executioner or eveningstar... It's not like the heavy attack animation weapons are more high risk either, you can still play defensively with one. The longer attack animations mean drags are more effective at changing timing so you can catch panic parries much easier, ask anybody who fought an executioner. I've come out on top of 1v4 scenarios through good footwork and switching targets midswing with a high damage weapon, when the enemy has to hit you 4 times and you only need one or two you have an advantage even outnumbered.

what the hell, I had to quit my first frontline game now. My team kept literally doing everything possible to gently caress up: throwing smoke bombs in our own spawn, putting walls in front of doorways out of the spawn, closing the doors when exiting the spawn, flinching you by running at you with a horse while you're killing someone, purposefully standing in front of you and blocking your view when you man the ballista because they want to take it, throwing fire pots into a 3vs1 in our favor... basically everything except straight up teamkilling guess I'm going in a duel server now, gently caress that poo poo

So far the build I've had the most success and most fun with in frontline is three sets of throwing axes, dodge, brawler, chainmail and viking helmet. Nothing better than backdodging someone charging at you without a real helmet and lodging an axe right in their face. Took a bit of practice to get used to fighting with dodge and fists, though!

Babe Magnet posted:People in duel servers are the least salty about things in my experience. Sure you'll get the occasional bitch-made but most people realize that if someone is doing something that you don't like, just don't duel that guy anymore. I love throwing weapons in duels. Most of my builds have a sidearm that also functions as a throwing weapon  Axe and falchion are great for sending sailing into people! It's riskier moreso in duels since a lot of duelists are able to block throws! But you can, of course, morph to a throw...

I have done pretty bleh in duel servers since this game came out but yesterday I switched to a longsword and proceeded to go 30 and 3 then 30 and 7 before turning in. Sometimes it's just about finding a weapon that clicks for you.

This game has the best BR mode. It's like the scrappy hobo fights at the start of PUBG, but instead of only lasting for 30 seconds until someone finds a gun, its a peasant hobo fight with trash gear for the whole match. Love that the matches last for like 7 minutes too. You spawn with 2-4 other people in your line of sight so there is no wasted time. I thought it would be a dumpster mode, just thrown in, but its actually quite fun. Always look behind you. Give it a shot if you have not tried it.

Horde mode is pretty half-baked though. The enemies do not know how to climb ladders, so when I tried every round ended with one guy in a sniper tower s l o o o o o o w l y sniping down the entire wave.

It's frustrating sometimes when you rng-spawn in the middle of a big field with no loot in it and by the time you sprint to the nearest building there's a guy inside who already has a real weapon. Since you spawn with nothing but fists you can't block and you have basically 0% chance to live. Also I wish the auto-matchmaker could set a ping threshold. It seems like the only options are "choose the exact region I happen to be in" or "search the whole world and end up in the first open slot in a 240ping server in moscow"

If you are not using a zippy mid pointer capable of both swings and thrusts real good like the Bastard/longsword, Gonna shill for the 2 point Arming sword yet again, on the subject of newbie friendly/long term viability options. 1 Point shortsword is also really good for it's value and has gotten me a lot of dead shield+rapier users to it's name. (Cleaver is also just as amazing as everyone in the thread says it is. I just prefer decent thrust on my sidearms). Arming sword itself is well rounded enough that it functions as a viable primary for side job builds. I can only imagine being underestimated in both how much damage it can put out for it's size, as well as percived role helps a lot there. Compared to being used to finish off somebody almost but not quite killed by a big boy weapon going full backpedal. "Oh, the idiot with the toolbox stopped hammering a wall to pull out a sword. How cute. Let's get him guys, it's 3vs1-2vs1-what is happening" If it can carry a middle of the road casual like me, imagine what it would do in the hands of a GOOD player!

Yea that one could use some more love with more gimmick dudes to expand on the giants/huge maul dude/firepot dwarfs. They did quickly patch those towers to remove the ammo crates from up in them. Can only camp in them now until you run out of ammo.
