If no one makes a Chiv 2 thread, I'll petition for a name change, update the OP and maybe just post a link to the page where Chiv 2 discussion begins. I'll do the footwork.

If someone does make a Chiv 2 thread, post the link here pls

My hope is that since Mordhau still exists and loves catering to racists, while Chivalry 2 lets you play as women & POC and thus might turn them away. Hopefully.

The good thing about it being EGS timed exclusive is that it's a lot harder to change your username on the EGS and there's actual rules surrounding it, so there's less obviously racist ones.

what the gently caress is with the racism in this game? why cant you be black in this game? have these people not heard of the moors or saracens? You can literally only be like 5 different types of white dude and theres no black haircuts either except maybe none and buzz cut

They've never done anything to curb the racist environment of the game, and made completely empty promises early about later including other skin tones and playable women (the latter even with a somewhat finished model, even.) It's been nearly two years and they've never even hinted that those are coming soon, on top of promoting a preeeetty hostile atmosphere on their official forums.

Long and short of it, the reason why this game has so many racists is because the devs court and are making the game for those racists. Eastern European dev studios, baybee!

the difference is, I think, that those two genres often have a large enough general playerbase to water down the racists/nazis/etc... while mordhau is basically a niche game that caters to them, so they're a larger total %

Also in some games you can report the Nazis and it actually results in consequences for them sometimes

Yeah that's basically it. If your only interaction with the playerbase is directly though the game, then it isn't THAT toxic by online gaming standards, but the way the devs turn a blind eye to it all is pretty gross.

I joined a discord (never join official discords but I'm stupid, daisnaid) today and within like half an hour of casually watching chat I muted everything but announcements. I dunno if every single corner of gaming is full of chuds, insufferable man children or often both but it sure loving feels like it lately.

Yeah but that doesn't censor the lovely names or avatars (unless they added a feature for this in which case just the second part) and it still sucks that it's endemic to the game.

Just because I don't see it doesn't mean I'm not mad that it happens regardless. I would turn off the in-game chat for lovely Gamers reasons regardless, even without throwing on white supremacy on top of it.

I could've guessed this game was full of nazis just based on it being developed by eastern Europeans and being called Mordhau

I'm pretty sure I've gotten at least one person extremely spicy mad at the fact that I'm playing as a black woman that they decided to teamkill me and have us lose the entire match because they were so focused on doing that instead of getting people off the Duke. At least, that's my best guess as to why. Coulda just been a regular flavor griefer, but they did target me over it.

I consider this a success regardless.

Even though it's a beta, there are already a bunch of apparently moderated duel servers available through the server browser. Those are a fun way to get some more in-depth time with the combat system without the omnipresent chaos of the regular modes.

So far, it seems like kicking is gonna be a pretty big part of combat from now on. I had a lot of success mixing up ripostes with kicks, since it seems pretty easy to lull people into rhythm of attack-riposte-attack-riposte that a kick can break through. Also, aside from one kind of funky overhead, I have not yet seen any fancy spinny backbreaking animation fuckery, so that seems promising.

I really liked Chiv 1's first-person view over any other similar game's third person, but now I find myself using third person exclusively, it's just easier to navigate the battlefield when you have peripheral vision, and even in single combat it's way easier to get a feel for the distances. I need to try first person a lot more to see if I get used to it but my performance takes a big hit when I do.
