I picked up an anvil and stoved someone in the head with it as they were duelling. I have to say that Chivalry 2 feels more geared towards group fights, given the hyper-armor you can gain on riposte, let alone the better movement in general. Jabbing and tackling is fun, plus it feels good to have the spear's special attack be just standing in place, holding the point out against anyone who runs into you.

There was an hour or two yesterday afternoon when the servers were all really laggy regardless of ping but it seems to have been fixed. Having a blast game good, partying up is still broken though.mdct posted: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 had a guy whining about women in chat and I got him to completely stop playing and scream at me all game by insisting most knights were women historically. I threw my greatsword while he was typing and impaled him. 10/10 game.

The game is far more fun than Mordhau. I think I've actually seen more maps in both betas than in Mordhau proper, lol. Duel servers are accomodating and there's far less Accel/drag horseshit so you can figure combat out at your own pace. The worst I've seen is feint spam from shield users and some weird feints from vanguard's, but at least you can adapt. The only outright annoying thing are Messer vanguard's who constantly dodge your riposte and get an easy hit in. If that fails it just descends into a riposte stamina war. The messer is ridiculous damage wise, suits all over the longsword.

Chiv2 loving rocks and I am happy to never start Mordau ever again. Shield throwing is like a small grenade, guaranteed hit.

I also do enjoy how the class-specific damage bonuses seem to make a pretty significant difference, while also being more transparent in how they work. Often you can save yourself a hit or two by using a class-appropriate weapon (e.g. blunts versus knights). Makes the vanguard with two primary weapon slots a really fun alternative. That said, I'm currently in love with the vanguard assassin subclass. The short sword is surprisingly nasty, and the ability to whip out a throwing knife when the victim least expects it is extremely satisfying.

It seems like they are definitely going to go the microtransaction route, so I guess skin and voice support will improve over time, as I would really like a choice on female voices at some point. That being said, bringing back the quarterstaff and sling sure would be nice . . . could even be a fustibalus since you can melee attack with bows now.

You can combo a quick couple of slashes with the shortsword before people understand just how fast you are, it's savage. The secondary dagger is pretty good as well, its Special is a stab that does a lot of damage! If I see people fighting I go around them and stab the guy in the back, fun times. The throwing knives are very versatile as well, it's probably going to be my most played subclass

Yeah I don't want to go nuts on "haha mordhau is dead" but drat I'm really liking Chiv 2 so far, haven't touched any duel servers but had a couple super satisfying back and forths in regular matches.

Aw man, For Honor is great, I wish it got a sequel instead of just staying in a weird maintenance mode for its die-hard fans. That said, I can't throw the head that was just separated from it's body and kill the one that beheaded them in For Honor so Chiv2 is the superior game.

It's the only game I can think of that honestly fits UbiSoft's "game as a service" model and isn't just some stupid thing that's just two pieces of DLC paid for in advance. It's from 2017, so maybe soon? I have no idea, I was just thinking of things.

Messers have half as many edges but look twice as cool as regular swords, making them four times better overall  But yeah, it's basically got the advantage that it's got good damage on the easiest attack type (swings), combined with decent reach and speed. In principle, the Knight longsword can do just as much damage with thrusts as the messer can with cuts, but thrusts are obviously more difficult to land and less useful in big group fights. Similarly, polehammers can do as much damage with similar mobility, but only ever hit one guy at a time and rely on class-specific damage bonuses to make it work.

To be fair, the Messer was also gross in Chivalry 1, but at least it wasn't the Zweihander, which is very conspicuously missing for some reason...

Chiv 1 messer wasn't gross so much as the literal only thing keeping knights relevant. Speaking of which, I don't have Epic so I don't know; how is the class balance in Chiv 2? People in this thread keep making GBS threads their pants about it and raving about how dead Mordhau is, but the slow clumsy knights with slow clumsy weapons that needed crazy drags just to survive and teleporting MMA's and stuff were core Chiv 1 mechanics and I don't think I could get into a game that didn't resolve that poo poo.

The Zweihander isn't missing, it's just a skin on the Greatsword. Which is really good, for what its worth. People aren't familiar with how to deal with helicoptering around with it yet like always, so it's currently for sure one of the best weapons for fighting groups.

It's much better than Chiv 1's. While there's a few stinker weapons, all of the classes feel relevant and the ones that were previously overpowered don't feel as much anymore. There's no weapon in the entire game that can one-shot you unless you're playing an archer, for instance - even the Maul's special (a super-powerful overhead) does 150. Plus no perfect dragging poo poo to get instant headshots and stuff like that, and riposte & counter reward skill and positioning well and stuff like that. I've personally done really well and dominated matches as a Vanguard (greatsword,) Footman (polehammer,) and Knight (messer & executioner's axe) with roughly equal rewards for each. I'm not scum tho so I've never touched archer. mdct fucked around with this message at 19:01 on May 30, 2021 |

Chivalry 2 is fantastic so far with the Beta. People can't seem to follow the objectives, but over all the combat and mush pits have been an absolute blast. Throwing fish, wheels, barrels and poo poo (literally) has been a blast. Getting killed by a ballista, respawning, picking up the tree trunk that killed you and using it to kill the guy on the ballista has been fun. Also, if you find a scythe, it is pretty amazing as a weapon. The number of overhead items that can kill you is also fun, especially for archers. The chandelier in the castle halls can catch a ton of people, TK'ing is pretty much a given though. UI though is kind of poo poo, especially when you want to know what weapon will be unlocked next, or have available to use skin wise before you go in game. Being unable to purchase items while on a server is kind of a bummer as well. If this thread were to suddenly turn into Chivalry 2: Mordhau is Dead, I think it would be the most apropos direction we could go.

Jabarto posted:Chiv 1 messer wasn't gross so much as the literal only thing keeping knights relevant. So far, classes seem quite solid with valid niches, and you can certainly do well with all of them. I'd say that Man At Arms feels a little bit underrepresented, mostly because one of its subclasses is a utility class and the other's only got one-handers, so they're fairly situational. But the remaining subclass is still fun and good, you can pop heads left and right with the polehammer while the spear is excellent for support in group fights.

Speaking of not knowing where weapons are, anyone know where the billhook is? I’ve only played vanguard to rank 22 and it’s not a vanguard weapon, I don’t think. I’m okay if it’s a skin on a different class. Billhook is the ultimate weapon.

Chivalry from its outset has been a goofy parody of medieval settings even back when it was a Half-life mod game mode, from what I understand, yes.
