You and an enemy are fighting in an area. NPC catapult comes out of nowhere and knocks you and only you down. How/ Why is this possible?

Ristolaz posted:In the same vein I will implore everyone: If you are playing frontline and using a war axe or battle axe, and you can spare 1 loadout point, PLEASE take Wrecker. With a war axe it lets you neutralize spikes in two hits, and lets you tear down the bigger walls very quickly I have a loadout with battleaxe, 2 firebombs and wrecker that I pull out specifically for the situations where enemy builders are going crazy. Once or twice I've managed to nab a horse and do drive-by-firebombings on their ballista nests which is pretty hilarious.

TorakFade posted:More maps can't come soon enough. It's getting pretty stale after about 20h of gameplay, most of it in Frontline, to only ever see 4 maps (and most people tend to hate Taiga because of its imbalance, so really people play Grad, Camp and Mountain Peak almost exclusively) I know its a loving shame the Kickstarter didn't hit the crusade goal to add more maps.

Considering the amount of money they've made on sales alone, I don't think it matters. They've made more than enough on this game to justify providing new content.

I can definitely see some crusades stuff making it in, they made around 300k off of their kickstarter and the occasional key sales for beta testing to make the base game with, and then they made like 50 times that in the first week of sales alone. There's stuff I'd like to see them do before other things, but I'm definitely down for new maps at a minimum. They've already posted pictures for the first new one coming out, a small italian-looking port town. e: added a new tutorial video to the OP, some good stuff in here for people starting to get more comfortable with the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gogd0Wjgvw Babe Magnet fucked around with this message at 23:40 on May 20, 2019 |

Arsonide posted:I play a lot of cavalry, and I try to charge into fights and take out the enemy, but since it's a melee fight it's very often very close to a friendly with the situational awareness of a fruitbat, or at the very least compromised situational awareness due to being in a fight. i almost always get trampled when im backing up to heal and then seconds later get cut down because the horseman made a hole in our line. so my reaction is pretty much to always swing for every horse i see, regardless of who's riding it, because i hate them and why are they even in this loving game?! plus that they're usually either, at best, contributing nothing to the match, or they're spawncamping you, etc

If you don't have a dedicated anti-cav guy armed with a billhook / longspear that you can swap into at the drop of a hat when horses are wrecking your team, do it. There's nothing as satisfying as taking those fuckers down then going about your business.

My only irritations with horses are watching them go full Skyrim physics sliding down camp's giant mass if spike barricades or even ramping off the tiny steps of some of the blacksmith hammer built walls to thread the needle through it's hole. That and how the useless 2 damage graze interrupts you. It's so sad you can't even be mad, it's just an awkward waste of everyone's time where horse guy doesn't get a sweet drive by kill, and people on foot don't slam the rider off their horse. So my whole problem with strings of 2 damage interrupts until somebody finally lands a proper hit is that whoever makes the kill in the end, it just doesn't feel badass anymore because it's the fourth pass after three mutual gently caress ups  At least somebody cutting your head off on the first go is funny.

You won't top the scoreboard, but people will beeline for you the second you start pelting them, allowing your team to swoop in and do the heavy lifting. Sometimes you'll steal a kill or two. Dodge-Brawler with Friendly, double rocks and a quarterstaff. I'm a fooking legend!

I'm glad I gave this game a chance. I loved the idea of Chivalry but couldn't get into it, but Mordhau is just so much drat fun. I'm finally no longer panic parrying and can do some fun stuff like morph a chamber or dodge around stabs for sweet counter hits and such and it's so loving glorious when it goes well. I'm trying to get better at ducking under lateral swings but it's way harder than it looks.

At risk of starting up bigotry chat again, there was a dev/community manager on one of the official US Central servers earlier this evening dropping some not so subtle hints about handing out bans to people using slurs or being shits in general.

They have a post on reddit announcing that they will ban for racism on the official servers. Problem is they're a tiny team who's never dealt with community management before and I'm pretty sure their entire moderation effort is one guy on discord who you have to PM reports to. edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mordhau/comments/bng970/mordhau_official_server_rules/ posted:The Official Mordau Server Rules are as follows:

This is great news. I heard some scuttlebutt that they will in fact be adding additional skin color options with a patch soon, and if that is the case (as embarrassing as it is that the game didn't launch with them and I will remember this as a downside forever,) then I'm perfectly fine with buying this game up again.

I'm watching the Community Manager play right now and he said that there were small nerfs to horses incoming, and that female character models would also be added soon. He said that there would be a setting to only display male models for people who wanted to "preserve historical accuracy" (said with air quotes and heavy sarcasm), as well as a setting to only display female models for those who "only want to play with waifus." He is discussing what the hold up is on adding darker skin tones, and his response is that they are working on new facial models with the proper structure for a given ethnicity rather than just slapping darker tones onto the existing models, as they feel that that is "cheap" and doesn't reflect a real attempt to add diversity. It sounds like they get it and they are trying. https://www.twitch.tv/jaxpc I like this dude a lot.

Its slightly annoying how engineering dosn't rack up a lot of points despite being pretty vital... Like the only time you don't need engineers is when they enemy also has none. I'd probably give assists for setting up a ballista and having some other scrub use it so you are incentivized not to be so possessive.

While my arming sword still gets a workout, it also feels like people are getting smarter about not running into the sharp side if spikes repeatedly, and horses are simply taking advantage of the fact they can ramp off larger objects, when not taking 15 seconds to come by from another angle not blocked by spikes or walls.

I don't really get much kills from my spikes but I tend to use them as one way walls rather than positioning them to actually skewer anyone. Kinda wish you could put down a flat pad of spikes that slows anyone walking over it down or fucks anyone who falls onto it from a distance.

We discussed this earlier in the thread but just giving yourself a dark skin tone with the current faces that just look like different types of Inbred White Dude totally looks like shoepolish blackface and I'm glad they realize that. You watching Jaxx? He's a treat, not only is he privvy to a lot of insider poo poo and constantly talks about cool poo poo the team is working on, but he's really good at the game as well.

Yeah, I'm watching him, not consistently, but he's streaming in the background while I do other stuff. I mentioned earlier how novel it is (at least in my experience) to have a community manager who actively plays their game and is GOOD at the game. It's really fun to watch him beat the poo poo out of the people, instead of the usual faceless drone who only interacts with their community in bland forum posts or cringe-worthy interview streams.

They say this as I block a battle axe with a rapier as the skinniest, foppiest person imaginable. gently caress the internet is stupid. He had what sounded like a pretty good take on the whole "historical accuracy" argument and how the Mordhau developers see the game and how it is not historically accurate. They view it as "historical fiction", as opposed to "fantasy". So things are grounded in reality, but not limited to reality, and how everyone will draw that line at different places, but they are grounded in a medieval warfare setting, and women and non-white people existed in that setting. I don't want to put words in his mouth, I was only half listening at that point, but it seemed like a fairly reasonable and well thought out viewpoint on the subject. Or at least as reasonable and well thought out as one can make an argument while stabbing people in the face with a bastard sword. I kind of tune out any argument about video games and realism because I fail to see how anyone can make a good faith argument that realism is something possible or even desirable in a video game.
