Even if it is, we're safe. The KS is at 286K with eight hours left. The last 48 hours definitely did not disappoint. Next stretch goal is apparently trebuchets at $325,000, which you will be able to use to launch 90kg projectiles over 300m in meme fashion. It's also called Eastern Invasion and there's talk of the Holy Land, though I'm not sure whether that's flavor or references to a game mode or something. Not too many details on that.

So we ended up at 298k, hopefully they still manage to put trebuchets in. That would be amazing. Hopefully they will keep us posted on how it proceeds, I am looking forward to the alpha and wondering what could be the system requirements...

Well, they said they were planning to put in all of the stretch goals anyway, it would just take more time or be post-release. I assume this also applies to trebuchets and crusades. No updates since the end of the Kickstarter, except the one thanking the backers, but that's normal. Kickstarter takes a week to process all the pledges, mostly to give people a chance to fix any problem they might have had with their credit card. It's only since yesterday that they know how much money they ended up with in the end.

Speaking of fighting games, there's a giveaway of Mirage closed beta keys on this website: https://na.alienwarearena.com/ucf/show/1510158/boards/contest-and-giveaways-global/Giveaway/mirage-arcane-warfare-closed-beta-key-giveaway I grabbed one, even if it looks like a dog turd I guess I could stand trying it out while waiting for the proper game to come out and end him rightly.

Yay, just got the confirmation e-mail. Now I can proudly show my forums title of "Knight" in the filthy latrine that is the official forum of Mordhau! (Never going to do that. gently caress official forums.) In other news, you can now pre-purchase alpha/beta/standard access for the same kickstarter prices, no exclusive gold teeth for you though  and you'll have to pay VAT if in Europe.What else? Oh yeah, pretty, shiny pictures:

Just linked my purchase to my forums account. It took a surprisingly long time, their site must be getting flooded. I don't really care about titles but I'm glad my account is all set for alpha now. e: I was sadly too late for the Mirage beta key giveaway you linked earlier. I was interested in giving it a try.

New update: https://mordhau.com/forum/topic/4654/may-update/ Optimization stuff going on: to reduce the load on GPU and CPU to keep framerate constant, stuff far away will be rendered at a disgustingly bad detail level, hopefully it will be unnoticeable. Progress is being made towards alpha, if they can keep to their dates it's only a couple months away  Also check out this screen of a new map:

It's not a terribly exciting update, but I like it since it shows where their priorities lie - namely, coding and optimization. That's what you want in this era of idea guy/artist Kickstarters. I'll be moving right about when alpha hits, but I'm definitely still making time for it.

We have an update! Alpha coming end of August, will start off as simple small scale melee-only deathmatch and team deathmatch modes, and will be expanded in the coming months with ranged combat, horses and vehicles, more complex modes and bigger scale battles. I don't think there will be an NDA or anything so in a month or so you can expect my ramblings about how fun it is to get stabbed in the butt.

It was originally scheduled for mid-August, but a small delay was definitely to be expected. I'll have moved to a new place by then, I just hope all my stuff is set up so that I can join in immediately.

In an unsurprising turn of events, alpha got delayed. According to the devs it should be out in maximum two weeks and we will finally have something to talk about

Anybody itching for a Chivalry-like game? Mirage: Arcane Warfare is free on Steam today, and will have a reduced price from tomorrow. The reason is that basically nobody bought it, so the poor saps that paid for it are finding only empty servers, I read something about peak population of 7 people. Lol. But hey, it's free, and it's not like we have better melee FPS games (or, say, melee FPS alphas) to play right now, correct?

TorakFade posted:Anybody itching for a Chivalry-like game? Mirage: Arcane Warfare is free on Steam today, and will have a reduced price from tomorrow. I looked it up on Steam Charts. It consistently had a peak between 40 and 60 concurrent players for a loooong time. It's up to a couple thousand now, so that's some kind of improvement? You can't go wrong for free, I guess. [EDIT]I mean seriously, if the ENTIRE POPULATION of your shooter game could fit on a single Battlefield server and have room left, man did you have player retention problems.

My Steam handle is Bittereinder so you'll probably see me around. I'll probably be playing friday night and saturday, I'm adding you to Steam because iirc you're in the Mordhau alpha too and honour demands you befriend someone before stabbing him repeatedly. buckets of buckets posted:Cool. Loved chiv but coming back I can never compete with the immersion breaking spinning round poo poo. Anyone know what the setting is? Real place or fantasy land? Mirage? As far as I can tell, it's fantasy Chivalry with somehow worse graphics and plenty of ranged attacks. I loved Chivalry for the setting and brutal melee, so I'm not too attracted to it but I'm going to give it a try because I really really want to stab some people without being thrown in jail If you're asking about Mordhau it's almost literally Chivalry 2.0: generic medieval setting, warhammers and greatswords, castles to storm, muddy battlefields to die on etc etc (in a non-descript but definitely real-life setting) Can't wait for Mordhau really, I'd replay Chiv but I can't join the only good servers: the newbie ones, forbidden to the level 99 spinning dervish sperglords.

The kind of frustrating thing is that the Deadliest Warrior DLC for Chivalry actually fixed most of the spinning shenanigans. IIRC there was a hard limit to how fast you could turn during an attack, and attack damage was keyed to how far along the animation was, so you wouldn't get nearly as much damage when hitting a guy at the very beginning or end of the attack. They just never backported those changes to vanilla, probably because the sperglords would have thrown a complete shitfit.

Yeah I agree, it would make sense if the alpha was a trainwreck (nobody wants the first video of their first game looking like buggy poo poo), but if it works mostly fine then it's actually a great thing to show it, build some hype Btw it's been 5 minutes since "release" and the official forums are getting hammered, so I can't get my key... damnit I need the game ASAP because the first hour will be spent in dressing my character in the gaudiest way possible, backer-only golden teeth included. Dignity be damned.

Even if they had put an NDA on their Alpha, that wouldn't have particularly worried me. Alphas are supposed to be buggy rough cuts. I hope it actually ends up being good enough they genuinely didn't need an NDA though.

First impressions, switching weapons and using gestures isn't working. I think it's an azerty problem, I have the same issue in Mirage. Hope they address it if that's the case. Otherwise pretty fun, though I still have no feel for the 240 system at all.

I played for two hours and again I have to say it's fun, but the 240 system is going to take a long time to master. I think I only managed to do a proper overhead in combat once. I always end up slashing for some reason. I do think it's going to be an amazingly flexible system once you've actually internalized it. e: yeah azerty sucks and I have this kind of problem all the time, I don't even know why we have it, French speakers are a minority in Belgium. But I'm stuck with one for now. Phlegmish fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Sep 12, 2017 |
