I saw a guy duck and jump swings on Friday and thought it was amazing, and that he must be some kind of super-alpha player, and by Sunday evening, I'm seeing it multiple times per game. Executioners and Zweihanders become a lot less scary when a simple crouch eliminates about 99% of your average user's moveset. I didn't know you could slomo that's cool

It's really crazy how much just a little camera movement enables you to dodge headshots and overheads, really gotta start working on that on my end.

Man, firebomb spam is getting kinda dumb. Just had a game on mountain peak where the opposing team had several people with 2+ firebombs, and basically the entire objective area was on fire 24/7

Lol on frontlines me and some dude are fighting hard and we are both hurt but he's getting the best of me. I whiff my swing and am ready for my coup de Grace as load up my next attack too late. Lo and behold an enemy team mate runs up to "help" and swings wildly like a jackass and clips my opponent, staggering him and my maul knocks off both their heads. He was raging in the chat and I actually felt sympathy.

It is one thing to not check your own shots in a crowd or mistake a blood covered teammate for the opposite team or whatever. And clipping people you did not see next to you on a wide swing? Accidents happen. Running in front of you in the middle of a fight, however, is on them.

I hit my teammates all the time with wild swings as a fast low armor executioner sword, and avg 2 tk’s a match I think. But I’m usually 35+ kills near or at top of kill count, usually under 20 deaths. Sometimes I just f up and my k/d is like 10/20. I have those matches where my timing is off.

Mystery Machine posted:Wait if i have a regular shield and a pavaise, will I be, in fact, immortal? Shields that you're not actively blocking with will do nothing against melee attacks, but they'll still stop projectiles. For the cost of 2 points and a weapon slot, you'll be immune to archers or axe-throwers nailing you in the back. Apparently doing this was pretty popular in Chiv but then again that game didn't let you parry arrows so it was the only defense. On the subject of axe throwing: I am Extremely Disappointed that throwing axes with the huntsman perk only do 96 damage to default-loadout archers instead of 100.

Orv posted:The dudes swinging their swords/mauls/war axe while moving in figure eights and just hewing through two and three people at a time. They're not fun to fight even if you know how and it looks ridiculous. As is murphy's law, this was paired with the first time I ever saw someone crying "Mauls are the ONLY broken weapon in the game!" once I started enjoying being able to accidentally kill enemies I hadn't even seen yet without even dragging, jst plain old regular walking forward facing forward swings. So many tears over 99% thrust weapons, but it's always a real loving eye opener whenever I pick up a reasonable length choppy weapon and it's like I'm back in Chivalry where Vanguards will cry over shortswords. Glenn Quebec posted:I'm disappointed in that I remember ready that the devs were trying hard to avoid the helicoptering bullshit They did avoid Chivalry helicopters. In the sense Chivalry helicopters were insane 720 blenders, people bent over backwards at a 90 degree angles, walking backwards into people so their overhands will hit people behind them faster than they would hit someone in front of them. So yes, it's way "Better" than chivalry on avoiding helicopter bullshit. But even a 270 degree angle would be "Better" than Chivalry. I assume it's probably worse in the most tryhard of duel servers, but on average most attempts at extreme twisting are things even I can perceive (if not always so hot at blocking), which still feels like a huge improvement. That and blocking feels more generous than I remember from Chivalry, so people attempting 45 degree angle thrusts have at least felt way easier to block on panic reflex than helicopter blade swords. (People trying to run away and then 180 with a micro length maul meanwhile, spirals between "Aw that's adorable, even I don't fall for that!" and then watching in confusion as top frag gods run face first into it constantly).

People with 100s or even 1000s of hours practicing playing this game and chivalry are going to be way better at it than you or other people who just got it or are really out of practice, since its a skill based game. Being way better at it than you means better footwork and a better feel for the speed of attacks and the lengths of weapons and the acrs where they hit and stuff and they will poo poo all over you and everyone else. Its what made chivalry such a phenomenally good game, it took a little while to get good at it, but really mastering it was something else entirely. And there was more than one way to master it.

I think the most fun I've been having with this game is a 2/1/1 halberd buiild with Friendly, skirting around the edges of huge melees and fishing for kills with stabs and overhand strikes. The halberd is surprisingly good 1-on-1 as well, people just don't seem to realize how large the hitbox of it is.

Moving through or around a group guarantees that everyone you moved away from is going to rush in with a swing for that easy kill, meaning you can buy yourself at least one swing of time against most groups by just placing a friendly (enemy) between you and them. Also Trix isn't human.

I know you can just not be baited into charging them, but their swing speed is ridiculous and they've eyes on the back of their heads.

The contortionist windmills are just old chivalry players trying to do the same thing in this game even though it offers little advantage here. They're winning because of the other good-at-videogames stuff they carried over from chiv IMO.

I think my main problem right now is not getting attack angles and parrying "flow" yet. I never manage anything useful in attack angles from mouse movement (am I dragging? Am I not? I have no idea) and whenever I parry I don't get the timing down for riposting or whatever so I'm incredibly predictable. Once someone forces me into parrying, I never get out of the defense again. Any tips? What stuff should I practice here?

Ripostes have an extremely narrow window, you basically have to input the parry and the riposte at the same time, which threw me off for a long time. Dragging I'm kind of in the same boat, I'm not entirely sure when it works or not other than obviously someone fails to stop it.

Is it just me or does this game seem way easier in 3rd person? Being able to see your actual animations and the real physical reach of the sword has prevented a lot of "why the gently caress did my blade not reach" stuff that having no true 3D in first person does for melee combat.

It definitely helps for stabs, side-swings are fine in first person but stabs and sometimes overheads/underhands can be drat near invisible without the parallax that the third person camera's offset provides. I bet this game would be dope as all getout in 3D.

Third person makes it easier to see where your swings are going and judge range etc but personally I can't block for poo poo with it active. I end up parrying way off to the side from where a swing is actually hitting me. First person makes it easier to face the direction the swing is coming from when you're parrying.

WTF? There's a purple wall of death that slowly moves in from the edges of the map, in order to shrink the play area as the number of players left decreases. I expected it to do damage over time or something but instead the screen goes all dark and then it seemlingly instantly kills you (or at least it did the one time I walked into it).
