since you can't really fight in melee with the javelins there's really no reason not to just roll three short spears they're much deadlier anyhow.

I guess 'a big boy damage throwing weapon' is a niche that throwing axes didn't completely cover? The fact they behave exactly like any other throwing weapon means they're mostly just expensive throwing axes.

Stretch Marx posted:You people don't want medieval war sim. You want CS:GO with swords. CSGO has Molotov's  It just doesnt have resupply points right next to skinny walkways that let people perma block off them so literally the only thing you can do is walk through it with fireproof (alone, because your team certainly isn't going to) or play the archer game and achieve nothing. I don't have a problem with these things on the other maps but I do on crossroads, because while they're not fun things for me on other maps, at least on other maps I can simply just avoid it. Can't on crossroads. E: maybe I'd complain less if the game didn't let people hype vote for the same map over and over again

dogstile posted:CSGO has Molotov's everyone who's complaining about this chokepoint problem - do you realize that the point can be capped from ground level, at the bottom of the stairs? That area is pretty open and far enough from resupply points that you rarely get "boxed in" or screwed over by fire or smoke, and people coming from outside can easily help relieve attacks to the capping players. Most of the time I see people rushing up to attack the fortified top instead of just staying downstairs in superior numbers and waiting for the enemy to come get you  I had an excellent game in Crossroads where I did maybe went up on the treehouse top once, the rest of the time I spent battling on the ground

Only a few weapons let you change the color of the business end, like the war axe, throwing axe, mace and evening star. The rest just do the grip/guard/shaft type stuff, but the blade/striking part is stuck as the bare metal.

The first person to build a game engine that lets thousands of people in the same map then you'll see some poo poo. For now this is what we have. But bitching about horses on the horse map is like bitching about tanks on Kursk. I have no sympathy for the rifleman upset he can't simply gun down a vehicle with his kar on the map designed for vehicle combat.

ive been screaming around town with that heavy hand axe and loving it. i bet the poke damage will get nerfed though, it just eats people alive and comes out fairly fast & if you hit someone in the head it's (usually) lights out edit: i think my build is 3/3/2 + the axe and bloodlust but im at work so i cant verify. i really liked that 3/3/3 bl + arming sword build so this is just a derivative of it.

Yeah I poked my way through 10 people last night with the axe head, its absolutely obscene. I also made a rapier build, which is a guy who's 1/1/1, a rapier and all perks. Most noticeably the dodge perk and the perk that makes jumping take half stam, but not sure if that applies to dodging. What I do know, is that it really pisses off the guys swinging two handers when I dodge out of their range and stab them in the face over and over again. I can see why people hate rapiers so much, that build hard counters to 2h dudes if you're good at spacing.

Crossroads is a dumb map but the worst part of it is there is a "bird" sound effect on that map that sounds like a lovely sci-fi siren with no way to turn off ambient sound.

loving mordhau... mordhau why are you so good yet so hobbled by so many things, like for example why was 'make levels symmetrical' such a sin? Its far, far easier to balance and whatever novelty you gain from having such interesting places to ignore while you lop peoples malformed skulls off isn't really covering for the massive problems that arise when one team has to wade through waist high sewer run off only to find the other team got a free slippery slide right to the midpoint. Mordhau, why is horde like that, you know what I mean, why is it that if I want to play horde I have to wait for each round staring listlessly, pointedly not playing horde than if I made the rookie mistake of joining a game in progress am I choked for gear and money which ultimately leaves me not playing horde all the more... Honestly my ideal horde would be defending a big breakable thing from infinity enemies with endless respawns for me and like... ten other people. Honestly I just wanna play horde forever but I don't get gold when I do it locally and online I run the risk of encountering mordhau players which is generally a pretty miserable time.

Honestly my ideal horde would be defending a big breakable thing from infinity enemies with endless respawns for me and like... ten other people. Horde would be more fun if it was like a full on tower defense mode with all the strategistics around that... Right now the horde and BR mode just seem like joke modes you play for a lark when you're burn out on frontline. I'd really like them to add something like a conquest mode that had all symmetrical maps, allowed back-caps, and had at least a few maps with no horses or any static emplacements. Let frontline continue to be the rando pubbie zerg lulz nothing matters mode. Then add a built in league system/ranked play. I'd totally join a team for this game and play semi seriously if it was an option. But hey who can complain, at least this loving game allows dedicated servers that you can run yourself so you can actually arrange scrim/competitive tournaments if you want. That's like a first for a popular FPS type game in years.

If theyre charging straight at you and you try to swing they'll either kill you first or horse bump you 9/10 times, so really the only good ways to deal with them is building or throw/shooting at them, both of which are easier said than done with how quickly they drive by.

I'm really excited for any semblance of a ranked 1v1 mode. Not that I'm good at it or anything but you get to learn some fun mechanics in duels. Frontline is still fun to just wreck faces. Playing 3/3/3 with a heavy weapon leads to hilarious 1vX fights, or pubbies introducing the scenario/feeding you ripostes while you clown on their team.

This isn't exactly correct. If they're charging straight at you, you're in trouble...unless you move out of the way or get behind an obstacle. I have a lot of luck with overhead swings from the side, just whacking them as they go by. You're not going to one shot them, but the horses don't regen health, and if enough people take a swipe at the horse, it's going to go down fast. Or just use a Billhook and pull the rider off to his death. You have to be careful if you're planning on taking a charge head on, if he's using a spear or a lance, you're going to lose that fight 100% of the time, but almost anything else, if you time it right, you'll knock him off and be no worse the wear for it. Otherwise, side step (preferably behind cover) and pull him off as he goes by.

I've become convinced that the power of horses in this game is largely psychological. If people would adopt your attitude and actually fight against them, they would crumple, and we wouldn't see dudes going 56 and 3 playing my little pony for an entire round. If archers would shoot them, that would also be magical, but I won't hold my breath waiting on that, much better to fire arrows from spawn in hopes that they magically land on an enemy out of visual range.
