Here's the thing, I don't think this argument is about racism for you. I don't believe you are arguing in good faith, I believe you are a classic troll and all of your arguments are centered around fomenting strife in the thread and making people angry and have zero basis in any particular ideology. There is nothing I can say that will satisfy you because the only satisfaction you derive is from making people angry. I base this conclusion on your extensive posting history.

I hope the rest of you will forgive me for feeding this particular troll. I will stop.

I use hyperbole and poo poo because we've had this talk a few times and every time its basically been people pointing out the dev's poo poo and ~gamers~ clutching their pearls and objecting that such a humble team of white europeans could never have sinister motives. This ain't the 'academics civilly discussing poo poo' this is me telling you that the mordhau devs are racists.

When I see racists I reject them, you just are a reject.

I have a mace character and you need to work for your kills, but it can be effective. The main problem is just the lack of reach, you really need to get up in people's faces.

Games that would have been Epic Launcher Exclusive if they launched in 2019 -

BattleBorn
Duke Nukem Forever
Daikatana
Rogue Warrior
Limbo of the Lost

Being on the Epic Launcher would be a kiss of death for indie to middling games if not for the very literal bribes you get paid and the steam sales 1 year later.

You can throw a mace. Range problem solved (if you have a backup weapon).

Yea the reach is tough. I once missed a mace swing against a afk player’s head, i swear I was as close as you could get the two player models and the side strike with the mace didnt have the range to hit the head

more range, a good stab, and the ability to cleave. and a 2 hit kill on heavy armor when you mordhau it.

the longsword is the the most well rounded weapon in the game imo.

They key with the greatsword is that the claymore skin is that it's not just a skin but unlocks a bunch of extra skin-specific customization options.

A headshot while mordhaued does 60 damage. So if your good at hitting heads atleast once then 2 hits to kill.

Zwei and Arming Sword. I haven't bought all the custom poo poo to know if anything else does it but I know I was disappointed that Longsword's Deo skin was just that with no extra customization and ended up switching back to regular Longsword.

I hope they expand Mordhau more I miss things like Chivalry having objectives to burn peasant huts then fight an overpowered dude who got spawned in as king. Add in Middle East.

We do have that in frontline (see the blue king and warden in Grad, burning the tents in Mountain Peak, pushing the cart in Camp etc) just it's a bit too simplified and you rarely get to participate in it properly because any match usually devolves into a "control the point"-only TDM race unless one team is really good at "objective play" or just stomping the other into the ground

Yay for Middle East of course, and more objectives/modes would be nice

Any trick to being able to consistently unhorse spear horsemen with the billhook and no toolbox? Being caught out in the open sucks and I only unhorse one out of every ten tries vs spears if I'm lucky. Unless I'm on the other side of a bump where my crouch stab has a better chance.

Any trick to being able to CONSISTENTLY unhorse spear horsemen with the billhook and no toolbox? Being caught out in the open sucks adn I only unhorse one out of every ten tries vs spears if I'm lucky.

My success rate billhook vs. spear horsemen is entirely dependent on whether or not I'm able to choose the time and place of the engagement. First off, I only use stabs to attack horsemen with the billhook, if someone can show me that swings are somehow better, I'm willing to learn, but myself, I only use stabs. If at all possible I'm going to try to attack them from the side as they pass by, where I'm not the target of their charge. In this situation, it's key to aim in front of the rider and use your stab drag ability to compensate if you happen to have aimed too far ahead.

If the rider is bearing down directly towards me, but I can see he's going to hit someone else before he gets to me, I'm going to stand my ground, wait for him to kill the other guy and I'm going to stab him in the chest before his spear is able to couch again.

If I'm unlucky and out of position and the rider is bearing directly down on me, I'm going to try my hardest to move to my right and his left to hopefully avoid his spear. I'm going to stab as I'm side stepping and hope that the gods of online play are going to decide that I hit him before he hit me. This should not work, as a couched spear has a longer range than a billhook, but I'll be damned if it does work about 50% of the time.

There are three keys to success. 1) Positioning, 2) Timing, and 3) Aim. Positioning, you want to attack from the side, or at least the side where the spear is not. Timing, you want to stab earlier than you think you need to because if the horse forcefield hits you, you're done. Aim, you want to aim for the rider not the horse...that said, the rider's legs count, and often times you can stab directly through the horse's body/head and it will hit the rider, triggering the billhook's effect of unhorsing the rider.

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
if they're couched sprint to the side opposite of their weapon hand as they approach, because that technically shortens their reach just by a bit. Stab with the billhook early. Smart ones will abort their attack on you when they see you doing this, and those are the ones that'll be able to stab you maybe 50% of the time with the couches, but they'll mostly avoid you for easier targets. Dumb ones will just try to go at you as fast as possible and you should be able to kill them 100% of the time.

Not against spears, but the second kill you can see a thrust that goes through the horse's head and hits the rider. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPjplyvrtLU
