Beta people: How viable is the dane axe? I get that in BR especially I need to learn every weapon I can find, but I'd love to hear some tips on a few of the medium sized weapons with decent speed. Also bing back quad packs on Steam

I never checked, are javelins back in? Because that was the funnest poo poo in Chivalry. You could keep poking dudes from a real nice range, and if they annoy you just throw it right into their face.

:hai: I also hope they are back in style as an item stack, rather than singular spears that you can also happen to throw.

Very hype for this game but I'm a sucker for medieval "realistic" games. Played a ton of War of the Roses (Rip) and Chivalry. Shout out to Of Kings and Men, the last early access game I ever got.

Same. Trip reports and "how's this thing run on older cpus paired with stronger gpus" takes though I'll probably just have to buy it to find out.

well the thing is, this game really is the new Chivalry, and if thats the case, I suspect its going to have a pretty long shelf life

its easy to jump into Chivalry even after all this time and find people, so I imagine that will be the case here too

Small thoughts:

Foppish is the best voice to pick, I wish they just had a buy menu in horde mode instead of running around the map trying to remember where everything is.

Always be hitting V.

Yeah I don't doubt that this is going to last a while, especially becauce you have turbogrogs like me who will just sit there and enjoy swinging a sword around for the hell of it. I still boot up Warband after all these years to knock people around, Mordhau is going to be my jam for a long loving time. I'll petition a mod when I get home to give a title change. I'll also spice the OP up a bit when I can get my hands on the game.

Anyone playing and has capture tools, take sick fight videos and layer music like this on top:

Gonna be disappointed if V isn't the scream key. God screaming and taunting in chivalry was half the fun

there's a lot of voice work put into this game. I'm not 100% sure there's a dedicated scream key but there 100% is buttons you can press to yell at each other

As long as I can hit like button-# to laugh or say yes/no/talk to people in combat I'll be happy. Really though if the game just plays like newer Chivalry I'll also be happy.

I'm guessing their servers are on fire or something because matchmaking never finds me a game. I can join matches through the server browser though.

Yeah I think whats happening right now is there just aren't nearly enough public servers accepting players from the matchmaker - and when a spot does free up on one of those servers it gets ddosed for a bit because the matchmaker tries to throw a ton of players at it

Can you make your own server or does it make a big deal about it? Like Killing Floor 2 does.

Game's good, though the servers are apparently on fire right now, with plenty of lag and packet loss. Been messing around a bit with the customization. The original stackable javelins don't seem to be in, but you still can take a short spear that's excellent for poking while also being throwable, and you still have enough weight left over to carry a decent sidearm. The maul also makes a glorious return, including the ability to crush a guy's head in a single strike :getin:

All the hair and beards are really ugly though, and the previously mentioned no skin tone options really.

Also I don't think some of these skirmish maps were intended for 64 players because the opening of each round is all the knights getting door stuck while the archers pepper them with free shots from across the map.

Seems like right now theres a couple of bugs: Sometimes the only servers that show up for me are the SEA territory ones with unplayable ping, and getting a lot of confirmed stories from friends about not getting any money or experience after matches.

As far as I can tell they had a testing cap of a couple hundred players at any given time so this is all probably to be expected. Hopefully they handle it well.

Sounds like yeah on both counts, both the server issues and the progression ones, and they're working on it.

You can throw your sword pommel at people and it does 1 damage, there had better be an achievement for killing someone with it.

Also occasionally you'll chop an enemy player's arm off but they're not dead, leaving them with nothing to do but limp away until they get thwacked. GOTY

I wonder if this is what the "end them rightly" achievement is for?
