Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
One thing that people look past with the dagger is how fast you can draw it. If you're using a heavier weapon like an eveningstar or a halberd and someone comes at you with an arming sword and you don't get your initial hit off with the reach, you kind of have to shift into a slightly more defensive oriented playstyle because the other person can just spam away as fast as humanly possible and they keep the advantage in that situation.

If someone closes the gap trying to spam your slow-weapon-having rear end, you can just draw a dagger and shank them in the face and they rarely expect that to happen. It works really well with high damage weapons that put them in the one-stab range of daggers after getting a hit too like the maul or halberd, because you don't have to try to fish out the second hit with those. You can just tap the person to 25hp, and then follow up with a dagger poke.

A lot of people also have problems changing pace with weapon swaps too. They'll tune to matching up whatever weapon they have to your slow-style weapon, and when you switch pace and range bracket to bring the dagger into play they have to swap pacing/positioning or get punished since it's such a powerful weapon in that elbow-to-elbow range bracket.

A headsup: In ca. 3 days I will have to pay for the next month of the Olde Goone Camp-Server. If people are still interested in using it for duels and such, I will gladly pay for it, but I appreciate anyone who can chip in a few bucks. The server costs 15 euro-bucks per month, so not a big deal, but I'd still love some contribution from anyone who still wants to play.

If folks feel we don't need the server that badly, that's also fine, just let me know and I won't renew it for the time being. I sadly haven't had the time to play much myself, so I'll have to go by other folks' judgement.

I run 3/3/3 bloodlust arming sword too! It's really good because arming sword is a very good and reliable weapon and random people are very bad at handling them. I also like to pick up expensive weapons like zweis if I can. I feel like that would be the best build possible in frontline if weight wasn't an issue, so I do that.

Do you have like a paypal or a venmo? I can chip in like 5 european funny monies. I think we could open the server up, too, to more than just goons if everyone else is okay with that.

I seem to play the best with the Greatsword, but it's also the weapon I've spent by far the most time using in duels. It's just seems like an all around good weapon.

I can PM you my Paypal in a second, thank you very much. Whether or not the server should open up, I got no opinion on, but my only stipulation for going public would be that any regular who gets mod powers makes liberal use of banhammers against racist/bigoted/shitheaded pubbies. :black101: :histdowns:

The blunt weapons are already thematically designed this way where for their point cost they are the best damage dealers in their tier vs level 3 armor and typically have a better hits to kill damage breakpoint than their counterparts against either the body or head. The tradeoff like someone said is they are also typically the worst in their tier vs light armor.

Yeah I suppose so, maybe I was thinking of the mace but for a one-hander the ability to basically ignore enemy armor status and just swing away with abandon is really pretty good, I guess everything's copacetic.

I would very much like a goon server that is public but has a lot of goons on it regularly. This made battlefield games way more fun, would work here too.

well you can't just swing away with abandon either. The other thing blunt weapons do is not keep swing momentum unless you kill. So that first hit will stop whether it's parry'd or not. The mace is a slow, deliberate weapon designed to loving own knights, it's great.

Also yeah there's a thread for the server in PGS, and there's a link to that thread in the OP. I imagine everyone would be cool with a donation link in that thread if everyone wants to help keep the server up.

Hmm, out of curiosity, what happens exactly? Since I experience a similar issue, however it doesn't seem to restart my PC. Like, I can still talk in discord, but there's suddenly no display output to my monitor and the game appears to crash. (Or at least, I drop out of the match)

I can go for 12h of playing one day with no issues, to crashes every hour the next day. It's a mystery.

I had some bad micro-stutter issues, and the only thing that I could think that had changed was that I had plugged my PS4 controller in to play another game and hadn't unplugged it. The issue went away completely once I unplugged the controller. Don't ask me to explain what or why, but that's what fixed it.

The monitor light goes from blue (on) to orange , and then I see the windows is restarting icon when the monitor comes back on.

Yesterday it happened while connecting to a server , another time it happened right in the middle of a duel . Sometimes it just locks up and crashes and I have to control alt delete.

This never happened before . Game was running great

I've noticed that if I'm close enough to the explosions on camp when the siege towers come down my audio will turn into a broken stuttering mess, and my FPS will stutter with it whenever there's an audio cue that's loud enough (like someone shouting next to me or whatever).

I have had no performance issues. The game is installed on my SSD, I have an i7-6700k processor (slightly overclocked), a GTX 1070 graphics card, and 16 GB of RAM.

I'll give it a try. Won't chainmail be too cold and metallic? I'm going for an organic look.

NVME SSD, 16GB RAM, 1070, i5 6600K OC 4.2, I should really be perfectly fine, even if I do need a new processor in the next year or two here.

And since the second patch they made until this new patch I totally was.
