Pattonesque posted:this is exactly it, if everyone just acknowledged that the horse existed and took a swing at it or shot at it it'd be able to make one pass around the battlefield before it crumpled I'm normally one for always mashing auto-assign, but red on crossroads is too cathartic to pass up. Chilling in the ammo tower with a longbow, if you toss enough arrows out, that magical headshot on a harassing rider feels so good. And they all follow the same circles around too.

I spent a round playing billhook wild weasel on the outside and I think I killed horses just as often as I got killed, which is fine by me since I'm also counting all the kills they could have gotten but didn't because I hooked them off their ride and beat their heads in

I'm getting pretty good at nailing dudes in the central tower from the blue big ballista on crossroads, got a decent amount of kills last time I did that while also destroying horsemen

if you spliced a bunch of gameplay clips from mordhau and chivalry 2 together i would be really really hard pressed to tell which ones are from which game

Babe Magnet posted:torn banner just announced chivalry 2 on stage at the pcgamer show lol Saw the trailer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMvjUzI3hnk and wow. Looks... kinda clunky and graphics not that hot but hey. That last part with the pitch battle looks fun. Guess they saw Mordhau selling a million copies quickly and said "why not try again"

I noticed in the description that it's an Epic exclusive for a year. Between that and Morhau existing Chiv 2 is gonna flop so hard.

I'm seeing a good few people doing straight up chiv style drags successfully. Seems these autists have figured a way around the drag limitation in certain cases. Not helicopter spinning, but moves annoying enough to have to see again.

I wish the Mordhauses and Chivalries of the world would look as good as For Honor and have the same production values

Unfortunately I don't the kind of studio with the resources for AAA production values is ever going to make something like Mordhau, or if they did it would be seriously diluted with risk-averse design choices. The scrappy low budget indy effort is getting us a better product in the end.

Chiv 2 trailer looked bad tbh. There was nothing exciting about the fighting. Just swing block swing block

I haven't seen blue lose taiga since the changes but I've only played about 3 rounds.

I think this was asked before but I didn't see an answer. Does anyone have a summary of the taiga balance changes? Is it just shifting some spawn points around or did they go as far as making level geometry edits too?

Two things I noticed were a new door to the fort by the bridge and blues spawn point was moved up when they are attacking the fort.

Yeah there's a new bridge between old bridge and the logs, and now there's a gate beside the ladder you climb up into one of the overlooking buildings.

Before you would have to climb a wall to get into the Camp from here. - New bridge between where the log bridges are and the place where the rocks jut out and you can jump across the river. It was an obvious spot for a bridge but it just wasn't there before. - There are now more spawn points for Cave Entrance. It used to be everyone spawned inside the cave but now people will sometimes spawn outside. I think they might have moved the inside spawn point forward somewhat. - Various small changes to architecture inside the Camp to account for the new door.

Yaknow I hated javelins at first because their scaled up ballista bolt model and the way your character drops them and the fact you can't fight with them despite them being functionally short spears but having run a heavy axe, toolbox and javelin setup... they're pretty slick. They do real killin' work unlike other throwables that only really soften targets.

Plus unlike the old short spear build you can refresh your javelins from the ammo box after hucking the first couple in the back of your teammates heads

My favorite thing about javelins is that they're free because they're freaking everywhere.

Just one guy walking around like a hedgehog full of javelins that you pull from his spine as needed, A pin gimp

cerebral posted: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. its 100% psychological because horses basically ahve no impact on what team wins or loses, so theres no real reason to spend lots of time trying to chase them down with your teammates. which in turn just makes the 2-3 times you get bumped into every game even more annoying

Yeah my big annoyance with horses is they'll get 10 people chasing after one dude who's honestly not actually doing that much and completely ignore the line of dudes walking into camp

The big cultural equipment update I suspect and also would really like is a bunch of Ottoman stuff, because that would cover for so many equipment-based things they're currently weirdly missing, like sabers and mail/plate mixes. The Ottomans also had an enormous influence on Eastern Europe, too, so a lot of the equipment from the area there has Ottoman stuff as its origin. (Give me the ability to play as those cultures first tho, 'cuz I'd want to actually look like a sipahi with a kilij rather than some rando with one)
