Glenn Quebec posted:Can't say I've experienced this I have maybe half a dozen times, definitely mostly recently. I even saw one of the ones who does a downward chop while facing skyward with their back to you like back in Chivalry. That's kind of the nature of games like this though. People tend to find their entertainment at either end of the funhaver <--> tryhard continuum once the people who picked it up because it looked interesting start to drop off.

They could stand to tone down the speed boost you get from sprinting towards enemies. Feels like there is no penalty for heavy armor, which causes some of the spinning, crowd cleaving problems. It was big in chivalry for awhile before they tightened the angle at which the 'chase mechanic' (sprint faster toward fleeing foes) kicked in. Thankfully there's no reverse overhead tier crap, at least.

Disgusting Coward posted:Unfortunately, this also means the game's shelf life is a limited one. Already starting to encounter dudes, contorted into pretzel shapes, who run at ridiculous speeds and project a totally inscrutable sphere of death that bears little-to-no resemblance to any movement their character makes. Can't even sneak up on them and backstab them, cause they seem to all play at some insane 270 degree fisheye FoV. I just parry them and morph attacks and then kill them.

The accells and decells do add a skill level to the game, but that is definitely part to do with the hellicoptering bullshit. You see someone at a 99 degree angle and they hit you and 2 other people. It really takes you out of it when you see poo poo routinely by the level 30 players. I see it a lot with feints. Like they start the Accel with the feint so that the follow up attack is accelerated. There's definitely a level of skill associated with it, but it looks loving completely janky and unrealistic when it happens.

Glenn Quebec posted:Can't say I've experienced this they haven't metastasized onto the main servers yet but if you go to duel or skirmish servers you will encounter dudes who, upon sighting an enemy, contort into a bizarre yoga pose, perform an attack which is actually the quantum superposition of 7 different attacks that only resolves when you try to block it, and then use 4 dimensional spacetime to stab directly through your shield and tear your soul out of your body so they can use its life energy to scoot off to their next victim at supersonic speed

me and 2 other teammates encircled one of these guys and all tried to stab him simultaneously from different directions and he proceeded to somehow chamber and stab all of us with the same counterstab, presumably by allowing satan to guide his insane mouse flailing after spending years in the hyperbolic time chamber watching reruns of beyblades frame by frame for research

I've never seen that, but I'm sure if it's as bad as you claim it will be addressed eventually. Meanwhile I'm having lots of fun yelling and dicking around in Frontline. I think my biggest wish right now for the game would be more and better maps, deathmatch queue, female models and non white skin tones. I feel like the naps could be so much better and more fun. I'd love to see a full castle siege nap, for instance!

I mean, it's pretty impressive the dexterity with flipping around like a monster in a japanese horror movie, but it sure looks goofy and isn't fun to fight against versus "traditional" dueling movements.

Keep it on the game but make them go dizzy and drop to the floor after a full spin! Edit: and tell no one and leave it off the patch notes, for an extra fun day.

Yeah I look at this game as a really impressive first person fighting game and dealing with all that stuff is just kind of killing my interest. It's like Scorpion suddenly just filling the screen with chains that are all one-shots.

Glenn Quebec posted:Are you talking about the crouch guys who think it's slick to crouch then attack as they stand? Just overhead attack them The most recent one I saw was kinda standing in a weird "I'm a little teapot" posture, with his warhammer up. Try to attack, even from behind, he'd instantly spin and parry. Then he'd basically do a One Inch Punch, where his hammer hand moved a smidgen and then his opponent's head would detonate. Then he'd laugh and call whoever he'd just killed a friend of the family. Also one dude who was wearing a kite shield and a pavise, who kinda twitched non-stop while throwing out a barrage of stabs that hit nowhere near where his stab animation went. He usually got trampled by an angry mob, but requiring 15 baying peasants to take out one macro'd Eastern European turbosperg seems like it doesn't bode well for the game's future. I mean, don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the game, and I've already had more than my money's worth. But the devs have kinda poo poo the bed a bit by importing all the fuckery from Chivalry, and also leaving the game wide-open for absolutely lunatic min-max system tweakery. Ser Newbie of Sales Weekend, stoked to try out this cool 1st person game where you use the mouse to hack and chop at dudes is gonna smash "refund" drat near instantly when he comes up against Ser Panopticon of The Third-Person Windmills, who has every one of his 35 mouse buttons bound to a different inscrutable morph-feint-windmill-kill-laugh-friend of the family macro.

Glenn Quebec posted:Or just play on the goon server. This here is the right answer to any problem in Mordhau. Playing with relatively normal people on a closed server is a godsend in this kind of super frustrating game. Also the devs have said time and time again that no fancy helicoptering/rainbowing fuckery will be allowed, clearly a closed alpha/beta test full of honorable sperglords won't be THAT great at discovering exploits, so they're popping out now that the game is in the public's hands Give them some time and I bet they'll fix the egregious exploits. Personally I haven't seen anyone doing that kind of crazy stuff, just really good people smashing bad people but it was clearly "within the rules" so to speak I wish they removed perks like dodge, it just fucks a bit too much with people's expectation on how others do actually move around, dueling a dodger is incredibly hard because they'll dance around you so fast that you can barely keep track of them unless you shoot sensitivity/DPI right up, and then good luck actually hitting something with a stab when a tiny movement of the mouse makes your view jump half the screen also fix stabs by God, everyone is stabbing stabbing stabbing, they're a bit too good for most weapons right now

Glenn Quebec posted:*goon defeated by an attack they didn't see coming* two knights approach to do battle. the first swings his sword, the second parries it and then drops into a backwards crab stance as 4 additional arms made entirely out of ethereal light explode out of his torso, each of them holding a different weapon. the first knight staggers back and attempts to block, but he can only block so much as the second knight begins to rotate furiously, his form twisting and contorting as his many arms strike and feint and strike again. finally, the first knight's sword falls from his hands and he drops to his knees, exhausted. the second knight's spectral arms rip the first's soul from his body and cram it into the gaping maw of the second. satisfied, the second knight ascends into the heavens in a beam of light as the first's body turns to stone, his face locked forever in an expression of pure horror from a hill top, the wise master watches. "the first knight lost because his form was inferior. such is the fate of those who neglect their studies of the blade".

What is with the ping in this game? Everyones ping is constantly fluctuating like 40ms. Additionally, I can't find a single server blew 60ms, and when I get in game it's always closer to 80. Any other FPS game I play, I'll find plenty of servers where I'm sub 40ms.
