Game is fun but I am super bad at it. I've been doing a short spear and shield but I don't want to be That Guy so I guess I should switch. What lets me kill the 1500 assholes with executioner swords

The inexplicable contingent of players who join every single game where you can play a sniper and then do literally nothing but snipe ineffectually from max range for 1500 hours is here in force.

Larry Parrish posted:archer spam is annoying, but most archers are the type that sits at their spawn shooting specks in the distance, so just flank long way around and get a quad kill with your estoc or whatever, imo. the type of archer who sits 5 feet behind his front line and picks off everyone trying to retreat to heal is horrifying to see though. my problem with archers is that if you flank round and get the jump on them they just instantly whip out a longsword and are 99% as combat effective as you are

Horde mode is pretty half-baked though. The enemies do not know how to climb ladders, so when I tried every round ended with one guy in a sniper tower s l o o o o o o w l y sniping down the entire wave.

It's disgraceful how many people use the default loadouts and/or throw on the default armor bits and don't bother picking colors.

Telltolin posted:I played a little bit after the patch and really like it! Even groggy and pre-morning-coffee I was able to take out some shield+rapier users with stuff that would've just clonked off before and landed a few kicks. I don't notice much of a difference with stabbing at all. But I haven't tried rapier or estoc today. Bastard sword felt fine, and it's dope that they're on top of stuff like this  but it seems absurdly tiny to me.

Parachute posted:thanks for the info. i had to leave the first and only game i got to play last night so i dont think i got anything for that time spent in game but i havent checked yet. There's a keybind on the list which is literally called "parry or feint." e: the downside is, if you want to cancel an attack into a parry, you have to click twice and megane fucked around with this message at 17:14 on May 16, 2019 |

My favorite bandage story is nearly killing a guy, having him retreat behind his team and pull out a bandage, and then having his five or so buddies completely ignore me as I charged past them and took off his head.

If your inventory is full you can't pick things up, but if you look at the thing and hold E (or whatever button) it will swap it with whatever you're currently holding. However, as that poster said, it's faster to drop the old thing and then pick up the new thing normally. e: damnit I should've dropped my post first

All horses need is for the 2HP bump from the gigantic force field that extends 15 feet in every direction from the horse to not instantly knock you out of whatever attack you're aiming at the guy

Phlegmish posted:It's an interesting and unique game, and the fact that it uses a more grounded setting is a major part of that. Kingdom Come's problem is just that it's obviously impossible to be completely realistic, so you're left wondering why they made gameplay concessions in some cases and not in others. Why waste my time with this tedious nonsense x when you've simply abstracted y? It's because the tedious/stupid/awful nonsense was what they wanted, and "historical realism" was an excuse. See also: basically all fiction that bills itself on "historical realism."

timn posted:(or might just stuff you instead if their stab is faster than your morphed strike?) It's this, the rapier stab comes out in 0.00005 seconds so chamber morphing them only works if they stop attacking (they won't) or your weapon is stupidly fast and you accel the swing. Basically you have to be super good to even have a chance to maybe hit them once while they press one button over and over forever.

Also "friendly" horses are just as loud as enemy ones, and horselords of both teams spend all their time riding in circles at random rather than contributing to the fight in some way, so the only way to know which is which is to physically turn and look at them. So you're fighting a guy and you hear hooves and have no way to know if it's an enemy coming to kill you or a friendly coming to steal your kill. Or, most likely of all, a friendly coming to teamkill you and then run into a bush and get murdered.

Played it for a few hours. Seems fun. Lots of getting killed from nowhere by a crossbow rear end in a top hat or some siege engine a million miles away, but I guess that's part of the genre now. Some networking problems, as other people have said; hopefully those get worked on. I feel like blocking is too easy; people don't seem to need to look at your weapon or whatever. They just stare straight at you and block everything anyway.

My only problem with archers (in both Mordhau and Chiv) is that they still get a loving sword. You picked a weapon that lets you kill people from a mile away on top of a wall in perfect safety; fine, but you should pay for your cowardice by being completely hosed if you’re stupid enough to let someone get into melee range. Instead, you press one button and you’re like 95% as effective as anyone else.

The problem is that you should die for getting greedy and making mistakes. In melee you get greedy when you push in and get surrounded, you make mistakes like missing parries and getting chambered and poo poo, and then you die for it. Sometimes you die for one tiny timing mistake, or for no mistake at all because, well, archers exist. But an archer who lets a melee guy get next to him has already been super greedy and made a series of huge gently caress-ups. He had ample time to shoot the attacker - with perfect impunity and unblockable arrows that kill in one head-shot - as he was closing, but he still didn't manage to get the kill. He could at any point have stopped shooting to retreat, but he didn't. The melee guys on his team could easily have come to save him, but they didn't. He was already given the massive advantage of getting to stand up on a wall or behind his team or whatever and still be completely effective, but he squandered that and got overrun. He's already hosed up enough to justify his death three times over. Instead, he gets to pull out a sword, and all of those mistakes are instantly wiped away and he's right back to where a melee-on-melee fight starts - probably in an advantageous position, even, because he gets to pick the terrain (the melee guy has to come to the archer, otherwise the archer will just go back to his bow), may have gotten some arrows into the attacker, and is almost certainly near his allies. FLIPADELPHIA posted:Simple fix for this would be for melee damage received while bow is equipped to be increased by 50% and have the bow ---> melee weapon swap animation take about 3x as long.

Just make it mainly about Chiv 2 and then put some brief info on Mordhau and Chiv 1 and For Honor and maybe like M&B in the second post or whatever.
