School Nickname posted:This, they can't even get autobalance in when chiv had it. Doesn't help that guys scream, "YOU CAN'T AUTOBALANCE A SKILL BASED GAME" whenever you bring it up, because joining a blatant teamstack with 5+ level 200 sweatlords is just the way the game is meant to be played. How did it work in chiv? When I try to think of a way to implement auto balance it this game I just come up with a million questions that have no good answers. I think the way the Mordhau devs avoided all of this is by making the rewards the same for winning or losing and freely allowing you to change servers if you don't like your team. Its for this reason I've never really minded being on the lopsided losing team because the most enjoyable moments for me are when I beat the odds and win some crazy 1v4 fight or turn the tide for my team by holding a capture point on my own and if people are greifing I just leave and join a new server.

The only autobalance move I like would be one that forces you to hit auto assign at the start of the game - at least on official servers. I know it sucks you can't always play with your friends, but also (at least for Frontline and maybe TDM) it's not necessarily a bad thing (and you still have a 50% chance of playing with them every round anyway). Obviously you still want to be able to teamstack in Skirmish since that is a much more serious and competitive mode.

they work... fine these days, there's just a lot going on with them now. Multiple block states, changes to how kicks work, the ability to throw small shields. It'll be like learning a new weapon.

Holding block is good for 1vX and in team fights. Using the facepalm animation is better for approaching archers and can also be done with Targe

Despite the modding tools for this game being hacked together and only loosely supported by the devs you can still make some very cool stuff. I finished work on a CTF mod which seems to work pretty well. There's a server running it at 160.202.165.14:13015 and you can subscribe/download the files at mod.io

im enjoying this. i was put off getting it so late because everyone said only tryhards were left but most people are as bad as me. even if you suck it's fun to grab a spear and get a ton of kills by poking enemies fighting.

I played a few rounds a while ago and I was actually surprised at how low the average level still was, which is a good thing. It's not even close to reaching Chivalry levels of, uh, sweatlords (I was one of them), and that was when I quit playing years ago.

i also reinstalled after being underwhelmed by Bannerlord's multiplayer and was surprised to see that in Invasion and Frontline servers the same distribution of player skill exists as from 6 months ago. when you look at the scoreboard you have: 1-5 players with 30 kills and 2 deaths 15 players with about 1:1 kills to deaths 20 players with far more deaths than kills if you just run at people with a big 2h weapon and initially do swing-feint-swing you will always find yourself at least 1:1. I'm total poo poo(i can't chamber and fall for feints always) and can still manage to end up positive, just don't run straight into the meat grinder.

No, of course not - they said that simply because there was a "gaming news" site pressuring them about their goose-stepping community. i'm 100% sure they never had any intention of adding that into their porcelain perfect game. the only thing that surprises me is that they didn't say the game takes place during the year 1488. it really depresses me actually because I really love the mechanics of mordhau and want to be able to get back into it, play duels - but I get turned off every time after seeing how rancid the people are.

The question i was trying to ask was if other ethnically monogamous historical games will be subjected to the same demands for racial diversion as Mordhau and Kingdom Come has. I think what we're more likely seeing here is western people and western media speaking to what they know. We're familiar with the issue of white supremacists co-opting those historical sources, so we're pretty sensitive to how those settings are portrayed in media. What most of us aren't familiar with are the racial politics of other non-western societies and how that's influenced by the modern potrayal of their own historical settings. That doesn't necessarily mean there's nothing to think critically about there or that a double-standard is being intentionally applied, but it could be a good opportunity for us to reflect and check our blindspots.

The question i was trying to ask was if other ethnically monogamous historical games will be subjected to the same demands for racial diversion as Mordhau and Kingdom Come has. This is complete protector-of-european-purity horseshit. First off, Mordhau isn't set during a real time period or place. It features equipment and attitudes and whatever spanning at least 600 years all across Europe, from as north as like 900s Norway to west as 1500s Portugal and east as inspirations from the Kievan Rus and a tiny bit of the Byzantines. That's literally all of Europe minus Finland. And you know what Europe never was during that time period? Ethnically monogamous. Ethnic majority? Sure, but consider that there's those Portuguese large two-handed swords: during that era, the Moors still ruled the Iberian Peninsula. Trade, communication, and believe it or not, immigration is like not only common through both ways with Northern Africa, it was pretty much commercially necessary. The Silk Road exists, the Mongol Empire is knocking on Eastern Europe's door - and in Hungary's case, kicking it in - and this just naturally means people settle everywhere. Racism as it exists in the modern sense isn't how Medieval peoples thought of eachother; it's both more and less virulent, the concept of "whiteness" didn't exist. Xenophobia exists, sure, but xenophobia in the sense that you hate those who surround you - Europeans of the time mainly hated other Europeans, because "I, a Genoan, despise those Venetian motherfuckers for any number of reasons, from arbitrary ones to them poaching sea trade right from under my nose to outright piracy, or what have you." That kind of thing, and of course Religion is far, far more important of a reason for them at the time to despise anyone rather than the color of their skin - the Pope says so, and the Papacy is literally the closest thing to a central authority in Europe (up until Protestantism runs rampant in the HRE.) Whatever the case, Mordhau isn't historically accurate - at all - and the inclusion of being able to play as anyone but a pasty white boy with this hopeless number of skin tones would improve that immensely.  Kingdom Come: Deliverance is like, this but even worse, because it is set during a historical time and place and is supposed to be historically, and fucks it up royally anyway with some historical revisionist bullshit, and pointing it out to the (gamergater, rear end in a top hat) developers is met with derision. Like, come the gently caress on, the patron saint of the HRE, Saint Maurice, is a black dude. Bohemia would have had tons of nonwhite folks!! It's an economically important center in the HRE, of course there's both permanent and temporary residents from elsewhere there!!
