For the last week or so I've been playing mostly a scavenger build, and I've come to the conclusion that there aren't any weapons that I hate. There are some that I prefer more than others, especially paired with armor and perks that usually should never be allowed together (I'm looking at you Halberd/Zwei Bloodlust combo), and some weapons that I can't see myself every picking over something else, (Estoc, Poleaxe), but my first love and the weapon I keep going back to is the Billhook. Yes it ruins horses, and that's what originally drew me to it, and yes, it doesn't do the most damage in the world, and it's a bit slow, but the stabs hit like a truck and the slowness seems to really gently caress up peoples' timing. I just went on an 18 kill run where people were just crumbling before me, and it was magical. I just looked, and I have 3.6k assists. I feel like I get A LOT of assists compared to everyone else I play with.

They gotta fix the thing where connection just drops to servers, that's killing me on this game more than anything else.

I just went on an 18 kill run where people were just crumbling before me, and it was magical. Something I think is cool about this game is that the mechanics are universally applicable to all of the weapons, but there is still a good bit of depth in the nuances between them. You can intuitively pick up and go with anything you find, but there's still value in digging deeper into the specific quirks and altering your play style to suit. I consider lots of assists to mean you're doing a good job finding and exploiting opportunities in team fights. Especially with a polearm with a powerful thrust you can be a huge force multiplier by efficiently picking enemies off so your teammates stay alive longer and preserve momentum.

Hemish posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/379430/Kingdom_Come_Deliverance/ I saw that but never bought it, although what draws me to Mordhau is the sword fitan itself but not the historical grognardism which is more the bag of Kingdom Come. What'd really tighten my balls is a mad max inspired post apocalyptic single player but with multiplayer options mordhau-alike.

Perestroika posted:Yeah, Kingdom Come's combat is just unfortunate. The devs put a huge amount of effort into making sure that it's historical, and realistic, that the animations line up, etc. etc., and then they seemingly never got around to properly thinking about how the player would interact with it. They give you a fair bunch of things to do in combat, but as it turns out at the end of the day it's pretty much all random chance. Whether or not an attack lands or is parried depends entirely on your stats and the RNG. For the first few hours it's pretty fun while you get your bearings and play around with the tools you have, but at some point you'll notice that all those tools are fairly superfluous and for actually winning a fight there's not much more to do than stand there fishing for unblockable random masterstrikes and/or throwing out random attacks and hoping the RNG will let you get a hit in at some point. This is because you weren't playing on hardcore mode. Once you take away the reticle it gets more interesting. Also, the combat fits really well with the RPGs aspect where you start super weak but by the end your a full fledged knight who can murder fool peasants. Also master strikes aren't "random chance". It requires you to line up your block and time it right. The window for it just gets wider with exp. Although, against high level plot fights it is very difficult to get hits in and master strikes are the easiest way.

I love kicking butt with my falchion in duel servers thinking i'm awesome, then i end with a group of people who are wizards and suddenly i'm babbies first knight again. The skill ceiling in this game is cray.

Here it is: Chambering anything but stabs is unreliable tbh, its not worth it considering a successful chamber can easily be riposted and drains stamina. That and it also feels unnatural, waiting to attack just before you're hit is eh tbh. Ive been really annoyed by lag in this game recently, weapons reach a lot further than they visually appear to also stab dragging is just plain broken tbh, I used to rely on dodging hits but once people get good at this game it becomes very hard to read if they missed or not. It might look like they did on your screen, but they actually didn't.

The only reliable way to dodge poo poo is to always have the tip of their weapon on screen, I've found. A lot of times poo poo just isn't dodgable with matrix stuff, and the only way I've found it works is to walk through your opponents and reset with a 180

I only ever learned the first combo but it was completely sufficient because I was eventually so strong that I would just one shot anyone with the guaranteed head tap. But yeah the combat was...unimpressive

I felt the same way for a minute, and I do think that switching between the two when practicing is the best way to go about things. First person is easier for me to be hitting windmills though, which is the only way I ever get hits in on Duel servers

Kingdom Comes' combat system seemed better than Warband's, at least as far as AI goes. In Warband, AI just ran up to you and randomly selected a swing with no regards to their weapon length or surroundings. But, you know since KCD had no multiplayer, putting together a complex combat system hardly matters.

Mount&blade's combat system wasn't designed with multiplayer in mind either. It's easy to forget sometimes that multiplayer was added in an expansion that came out a couple years after M&B went retail, not even counting the many years that M&B was in proto-early access. Of course, KCD's combat is also almost always just the player versus a handful of enemies (with a few battle scenes) whereas M&B usually involves scores or hundreds of participants.

Yeah that's the rub with M&B's combat, the AI was braindead in it to compensate for the fact that at any given time like 15 AI were trying to slap you at the same time while another 70 were waiting in line to try and slap you

That and it also feels unnatural, waiting to attack just before you're hit is eh tbh. A big downside of stab dragging is that the drag window is really small. You can't really accel/drag a stab in a way that someone can't easily parry both timings. Stab drags are also a lot easier to miss than swings since your damage arc is so narrow and you get a tinier window of time to drag.

I think I played mount and blade by riding on a horse with a bow/crossbow and sloowly cheesing armies full of melee guys in armor by kiting them to death so i could sell all their expensive armor for $$$ at the closest town. And then getting bored and quitting whenever i got far enough into the game and rich enough to have an army of my own.

God i loving hate most of the players playing this game. Spawn blue on Grad, run over to red Catapult, kill operator. Steal catapult, drive its slow rear end back to blue side, stopping to fight 2 people along the way. Get blindsided by a red player, stuck in janky 3rd person mode from when I was using the catapult, die. Respawn, some loving idiot on blue is wheeling the loving catapult back to the other side towards red behind the house. Like what in the actual gently caress? It's also mindblowing that there are no servers for the southeast US. Like the closest poo poo is Dallas, which means I almost never have lower than 80 ping reliably. Some times it goes down to 60, but not for long. Zotix fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Jun 3, 2019 |

Was listening to the Community Manager's stream for awhile last night, and he dropped some upcoming plan for weapon adjustments. Here are the notes I wrote for myself: Warhammer buff Arming sword getting buff so it’s a 3 hit kill to heavy chest Axe getting turned into a mini-waraxe, better combos Dagger less slash damage, more stab damage Cleaver worse stabs better slashes 1H weapons getting a rework in general It's hard for me to believe the arming sword is getting a buff, thing is already deadly, but I'll take it. Same with Axe, it's not bad as it is, faster combos is going to be evil. cerebral fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Jun 3, 2019 |

I get so much flak for using buckler, particularly on duel servers  Usually by people who have no excuse not to have tried it at least once! It gets equated to a kite/heater shield. This game needs a loading screen tooltip or something that says "hey, you can only parry with buckler/targe. they're not like the other shields!" It shows who's annoying and worth avoiding, but it gets really old hearing it over and over. Buckler is not kite shield, and arming sword is not rapier  e: arming sword buff you say? three hit kill you say? I like the sound of this a lot Telltolin fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Jun 3, 2019 |
