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

dogstile posted:In terms of people being mad that their are people who are good crushing them. My response is "shoot them, maybe?". At least a speed boost when chasing after cowards who turn their back and run feels good. I can't imagine feeling very proud of myself that I got a leg up against "Man holding still or slowly backpedaling". Particularly as now you can apparently parry arrows with your sword revengeance style.

Babe Magnet posted:I asked on the reddit, I'll get us an answer soon enough. I can also test it later with a buddy when I get home if there's any doubt. I would be equally unsurprised if it was a real thing as I would be if it was not. Because while the Jacob's ladder maximim propeller blade limbo is gone, the Chivalry core fanbase probably isn't. On a lighter note. While I've been sitting on it till the cash/exp deal has been sorted, I'm already very thankful to this thread for pointing out things the game doesn't. Like how shields for sale just have "No stats for this" as their information. Rather than something as important as "Oh, you can't just BLOCK with those shields. You just get an extended parry!" Maybe I'll look at the hobo dressup options in the meantime. I got excited my ancient alpha presets were fine, but actaually clicking on those and the alpha defaults got turbo hosed. "Peasant shirt and shorts. Peasant shirt and shorts. Reverted to a generic breasplate and shorts. Peasant shirt and generic greaves" EDIT: Huh, literally everything in the gear section is locked (and they don't even list prices like they did last night. Just a level number and lock icon). Do they not even give you some default freebie weapons for custom loadouts? Or was the idea "Throw them some tutorial cash, that's worth five expensive weapons!" and that was thrown off kilter by the fact even the tutorial can end up not paying out?

Literal slowest weapon in the game at "Half the zweihander's speed". Only the length the shortsword I keep as a backup that probably has as much if not more kills. But oh man, the feeling of splattering someone's head like a tin grapefruit makes the Maul worth it  Figures I first got the Highlander cheevo with a blunt object.Hitstop is a bit of a buzzkill though. Because despite it's glacial speeds and short length, people still somehow manage to wedge themselves in front of my overhands at the last second. That's the big thing I'm jealous people just swinging boat paddles of death. Not the reach. Not the speed greater than glacial formation. The fact they get to windmill through their teammates and still kill something in the process. Babe Magnet posted:spend it on friendly so you only take 60% of your total match damage from your own teammates instead of 70% I got the points to spare if I wanna move faster with the worlds slowest and shortest weapon. While legs seem to have near zero impact on your speed, a rank 2/3 helmet all by itself slows you down more than an al 1/1/1 outfit. Perestroika posted:I'm starting to really like the humble warhammer as a backup weapon. It's cheap as hell at just 2 points, but it's still capable of killing even max-armoured tin cans in just three hits (two if you hit the head). It's reasonably quick to swing and even has an alternate mode that offers a decent damage boost against people with light/no armour. Only downside is its short range, though usually when I'm using a class with several weapons I'm at medium/fast speed anyway. But headshots have crazy boosted damage across the board for the pointy end, according to the stat screen anyways. Heavy armor torso drops from 35 to 20. Heavy armor headshots raises from 50 to 70. And, against the rare "Not even a cloth hood or hat" fellow, claims to be 100 headshot damage

Bardiche is so good, but holy poo poo I keep getting way more kills with the peasant scythe. Even though the peasant scythe is "Bardiche: Except it stops dealing damage against tier 2 armor and can't thrust". (A closer look at the stats, and they seem to have identical speed/length numbers I can only assume it is because nobody takes a peasant seriously, while the sight of a 1/1/1 lederhosen warrior puts people on their guard.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Goodplayer and community manager guy Jax talked a little bit on stream about hanging on to a fast weapon like a dagger to finish people off after getting a big-damage headshot or similar. Maybe worth carrying one around with big heavy weapons like waraxe/maul/exe sword since you can bring people to super low HP with just one hit and then potentially finish them off with a dagger poke. "Oh no, I'm indoors and seven people are here!... Why am I not dead yet? WHY AM I GETTING KILLS?" That and the proud tradition of botching a headshot attempt for a heavy torso hit with the maul, and then tickling them to death with a baby sword after they turn around expecting a big slow boys brawl.

Orv posted:I feel like when you get people running away from 1v1s because they have a maul and no armor and only engaging with their team when they can backstab people something should probably be done about it. Otherwise I pretty much recognize that all my other gripes are currently just a lack of my own ability.  and unlike people feeling nice and safe with their big helmets, a nice hat doesn't save me from being accidentally decapitated by helicopter blades aimed at my teammates.Sure I try for comedy stealth kills too, but the glacial speed of the Maul combined with it's tiny range means My 1/1/1 self swinging barely wiffing constantly in a benny hill chase against armored targets if they are moving even vaguely 'away' even as they fight someone else  Anyone I hit with a maul in the back of the head (That isn't an archer standing still) mid teamfight is someone I could have chain stabed with an arming sword much more easily.Just another reason why I also bring an arming sword  (And a fire pot I keep forgetting I have).El Cid posted:A friend and I had a lot of fun last night playing unarmored screaming peasants armed with 3 frying pans. (Two for throwin' one for bashin') There is nothing quite as satisfying as the "pong" of a frying pan connecting with a face. It was also surprisingly effective in team engagements because all you have to do is backpedal and parry the swarm of people thirsting for your naked peasant flesh as your teammates stab them to death from behind.

Ravenfood posted:Are there any decent new-person friendly builds or build advice? I liked early Chivalry way back but never played it too much, and I don't necessarily need something that will shred 1v1 but a way to contribute to existing fights like a spear or halberd seems useful. The rank 2 helmet is because there are a bunch of weapons that can still instant kill you through "A nice hat", which is rank 1 armor. Even if you are using a bigger weapon, 1 point for a short sword or 2 points for an Arming sword/axe whatever is a huge deal, and worth it's weight in perks/armor. From there, whatever catches your fancy, or following advice from people who actually know what they are doing. But keeping an eye out for people who skip out on leg armor entirely can be a huge deal depending on your weapon. The peasant scythe deals more damage to bare legs than the Zweihander, even if it is reduced to "30 damage, on a headshot  " with any real armor.I now adore the sight of rapier wielders wearing full plate helmet and chests who decided "You know, nobody aims for legs. It's fine"

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Woah, I expected the poleaxe's alt mode to change a lot more. It actually barely affects the weapon's damage against armor. Yeah, unless it's already a loving huge weapon in the first place (or just long and fast enough to make up for it like staff), Blunt itself seems pretty  and the claimed gimmicks of "Better vs armor" and "The stamina drain matters!" feel very In Name Only.The Warhammer in particular stands out. The only thing it has going for it, is that the pointy side deals high headshot damage vs armor Meanwhile, It's blunt end deals worse damage to a chest covered in armor than the AXE. While the pointy end vs bare chests is... also horrible, at 49. Then it drops like a rock to 30/24/20. (and again, it's blunt side is worse than the slicey axe vs body armor). I've had fun treating it as a gimmick finishing touch/opening move weapon. Because nobody expects a blunt hammer that lists 50 damage to a helmet, to list 70 damage to helmets with the sharp end. But it just doesn't seem to have anything going for it beyond trying for headshots with the pointy end. Feels more like the eveningstar and maul are cool because they are HUGE, so they basically had to give them good damage across the board.

Mr.Unique-Name posted:I feel like they should make drags either not work or significantly less effective for thrusts. That would probably go a long way to making it so everybody isn't using rapier/short spear or a 2 handed sword and just thrusting all day. It's kind of irritating to have somebody clearly miss you then all of a sudden you get hit for a sizable chunk of HP. People can shimmy side to side in plate armor real good. So getting hit in the face with a thrust rather than poked in the butt means I probably deserved it compared to me getting accidental double kill with an estoc swing, because I decided to morph a thrust into a swing against my intended target. This is less "Git gud" and more "If someone as horrible as me can see the difference, then..." for why NO drag seems like going too far. Though at launch when the servers were more hosed, a lot of my experience with nailing zero drag thrusts to the back of someone's head was it to harmlessly phase through their skull, then have them accidentally kill me with their horizontal backswing. So that's probably not helping with why I don't as hard as I could, be when the Nth rapier user pokes out both of my eyeballs immediately after a chamber. Thrust spammer still (seemingly) have to put more effort into aiming for my head, than anything else, So far as my living dangerously with 1/1/1 armor or gimmicky 1/3/1 vs spear/rapier users goes.

Orv posted:So yeah now that I'm getting better shields are just too good and the kick is too bad to properly deal with them. With the two problem weapons, short spear and rapier, a shield user can get kicked, still recover in time to block your follow-up, then stab faster than you can recover from your attack. Every single time, it's not hard to do either. Something needs to be done about that, everything else seems like it's mostly fine. Murphy's law demands my kick success% goes up the more people start bitching that kicks don't work against shield+rapier users in a match, so that's probably why I'm defending kicks even in their janky state. I hope they fix the uselessness of kicking up/down because that would also help against people who think standing on the stairs with a zweihander or halberd is the height or tactical prowess. It would be nice that if they make any changes to kicks, they actually polish that and don't just slap on some "guuder vs shields only." effects onto them.

Orv posted:My tendency towards slower weapons means I can never seem to actually get anything into the window of a kick. The most reliable way I have of killing shields right now is just waiting for them to attack and playing footsie and that stops working the minute anyone else is involved so they just get a free kill. So that certainly helps matters, but it's much more satisfying if their brain clearly shuts down over "Kick's work!?" and a Maul overhand or thrust finishes the job. (Note to self, see if the punch perk raises kick damage past 10). That said, even bothering to give kicks the time of day can still be super loving iffy 1vs1 (It's super iffy in general, because I need to be basically humping them by the time kicks will hit them before they backpedal out of reach on accident), because the backpedal speed on full plate is real fast. You'll see the difference between people who actually know what they are doing, or expect "Shields are overpowered! Even the 40 kill god is crying over them!" to carry them. And again, gently caress even the most gentle of slopes if I want to kick somebody  But if you see 2-4 people on your own team trying and failing to kill a shield+Whatever use (Or more commonly, two-hander knight backed into a corner parrying three guys at once and slowly picking them apart), Just walk right on up focusing on defense, or making them waste parries with safe thrusts (poo poo damage thrusts still work for that ), until you can kick them (side angle shields do seem a big absurd, at times, if I try to stab them anywhere but from directly behind), and watch the magic happen as your team takes them apart thanks to the opening.Switching to 3rd person mode also seems to help a shitload if your goal is plowing through a shield user rather than dueling tricks (or judging team safe angles in a brawl). Because if trying to use precision techniques like chambering their morph slashes and regular thrusts isn't helping anyways.... I'm a filthy casual who like to run around looking for teammates stuck in 1vs2+ fights to help anyways between racking up objectives points. So I expect I'm just more comfortable in full chaos combat than proper technical fighting. Which can at least lead to the hilarious results like my bastard sword knight turns the tide by pulling out a blacksmith hammer and building a wall to cock block the enemy advance.

Orv posted:Horse lords sucked in M&B MP and they suck in this, especially since there appears to be some funkiness with range regarding dragging on horses being way past the visual of a weapon. Doubly so since they've figured out the spawn points and I've seen a bunch of cavalry just circling those and killing people as they pop in. Comrayn posted:It’s hard to get a speeding horse guy because you have see him coming in time to wind up your swing. If you could just point your pole arm at him and let him get stuck on the spear they would be way less of an issue. Overall they are annoying but not a huge problem imo. I think the main trick horses have to their advantage, is the 2 damage horse graze interrupts your swing. If not for that, it would be a lot easier to man up and smash a rider with any weapon rather than their own poorly timed swing that misses you by a mile (or isn't even on the same side you're standing) not not inconveniencing them in the slightest as they shrug and move on, or circle around for attempts two and three. I would have a LOT more maul kills against fast moving riders to my name otherwise, rather than "Well, that was a waste of both of our time I guess. See you next time!" Even when you have a polearm, judging the distance and speed on your end still takes more effort than mister "whoops, they bumped you so they get a do over even if they gently caress up the actual attack." Aside from that? "Don't worry guys, they are halfway down the field and we're five feet from the point-oh, you're going to all sprint after the horse? okay, sure." is the most powerful ability of horses

Frivolous question. Does anyone have any idea what the Stone Damage stat even applies to? Like, every proper weapons is just "2 damage", but some of the peasant weapons like the sledge hammer and pickaxe list stuff like 60/100 stone damage. loving around in frontline, seems the mallet built sandbag walls still run off the wood damage stat. But I have not done any horde mode, so are there stone walls peasant slowly break down in that mode, or what?

TorakFade posted:Is the estoc worth it as a stabby alternative to short spear and rapier? What else should I try? I am generally pretty bad with slow heavy weapons like the war axe etc but I might give them a whirl anyway "How am I getting away with this?" wise. Morphing from a thrust to a slash actually hurts with the Estoc, and all these rapier/spear guys seem to be training people expect even the most transparent thrust-swing morphs to not be something worth worrying about on a weapon associated with thrusting. I don't get away with that nearly so easily with other swords. Speaking of Estoc vs short spears. Short spear has this weird deal where specifically vs rank 1 armor, it's got higher than normal thrust damage. Estoc is 70/55/51/46 Short is 65/60/45/35 That trend holds up. For heads and legs, Estoc is superior except vs rank 1 armor, where it's 70/75, and 40/50. But the Estoc deals more damage to zero armor, and rank 2/3 armor... And, you know, can slash for reasonable damage too. The major flaw of the Estoc is that you can't throw it at people. Ravenfood posted:A toolbox/arming sword/hammer setup is nice for controlling areas in frontline though. Funny too. I might see if I can swing some traps instead of weapons and just rely on what I find and make giant deathboxes instead. EDIT: Longsword is real cool overall and carves up people real nice. But I'm just at how the title drop stance is kinda underwhelming."My longsword just isn't cutting it against this armor!" "Don't worry! You can use the MORDHAU GRIP!" *T2/T3 chest damage goes from 37/34 to 41/40*  The 60 damage swings vs helmets can be a rude surprise to catch people off guard with at least.

Even just a helmet seems to have such an impact on your speed that it's a significant hindrance to controlling distance, and a full 3 loadout makes you borderline immobile. Besides, level 2 is generally enough to avoid 1hks from just about everything, which is more or less everything I want what with how easy it is to regain health. 1/1/3 is super fast! (While 2/0/0 or 0/2/0 is still a notable drop in speed). I can't think of any reason to take 1/1/3 unless the entire enemy team was using beartraps, but there yah go.

War axe is cool enough that even if I don't use it a ton, it's one of the two whole weapon's I've blown gold on customizing. The strangest part of the war axe to me is how horrible I am at landing underhand swings it it, despite all the crushed kneecaps I've caused with maul underhands. I can only assume it's because the Waraxe looks and feels bigger, while stat listings wise claims it is only 5 whole centimeters "Longer" than the Maul/shortsword. Thus I'm not hugging people as close as I would with a "gently caress this thing has just, the worse reach" weapon.  (I am a boring man with boring colors).

If you are not using a zippy mid pointer capable of both swings and thrusts real good like the Bastard/longsword, Gonna shill for the 2 point Arming sword yet again, on the subject of newbie friendly/long term viability options. 1 Point shortsword is also really good for it's value and has gotten me a lot of dead shield+rapier users to it's name. (Cleaver is also just as amazing as everyone in the thread says it is. I just prefer decent thrust on my sidearms). Arming sword itself is well rounded enough that it functions as a viable primary for side job builds. I can only imagine being underestimated in both how much damage it can put out for it's size, as well as percived role helps a lot there. Compared to being used to finish off somebody almost but not quite killed by a big boy weapon going full backpedal. "Oh, the idiot with the toolbox stopped hammering a wall to pull out a sword. How cute. Let's get him guys, it's 3vs1-2vs1-what is happening" If it can carry a middle of the road casual like me, imagine what it would do in the hands of a GOOD player!

Orv posted:The dudes swinging their swords/mauls/war axe while moving in figure eights and just hewing through two and three people at a time. They're not fun to fight even if you know how and it looks ridiculous. As is murphy's law, this was paired with the first time I ever saw someone crying "Mauls are the ONLY broken weapon in the game!" once I started enjoying being able to accidentally kill enemies I hadn't even seen yet without even dragging, jst plain old regular walking forward facing forward swings. So many tears over 99% thrust weapons, but it's always a real loving eye opener whenever I pick up a reasonable length choppy weapon and it's like I'm back in Chivalry where Vanguards will cry over shortswords. Glenn Quebec posted:I'm disappointed in that I remember ready that the devs were trying hard to avoid the helicoptering bullshit They did avoid Chivalry helicopters. In the sense Chivalry helicopters were insane 720 blenders, people bent over backwards at a 90 degree angles, walking backwards into people so their overhands will hit people behind them faster than they would hit someone in front of them. So yes, it's way "Better" than chivalry on avoiding helicopter bullshit. But even a 270 degree angle would be "Better" than Chivalry. I assume it's probably worse in the most tryhard of duel servers, but on average most attempts at extreme twisting are things even I can perceive (if not always so hot at blocking), which still feels like a huge improvement. That and blocking feels more generous than I remember from Chivalry, so people attempting 45 degree angle thrusts have at least felt way easier to block on panic reflex than helicopter blade swords. (People trying to run away and then 180 with a micro length maul meanwhile, spirals between "Aw that's adorable, even I don't fall for that!" and then watching in confusion as top frag gods run face first into it constantly).

Motherfucker posted:imagine if armor was good. )That or calmly walking away as some throwing knife spam ninja keeps uselessly plinking them off me. Armor is pretty great! It's just more notable when not facing off against people using weapons as tall as they are. Section Z fucked around with this message at 04:04 on May 14, 2019 |

Phlegmish posted:I have 1000+ hours in Chivalry as well, but one of the main things that attracted me to Mordhau was that it promised to be more freeform. And it is, and the directional aiming feels good to use when it works, but often I find myself going 'wait, why did it do that?'. I guess I have to keep reminding myself to wind up my swings. It's been working out pretty nice so far, even if I mostly use it for twitch 'pick the side that won't cut the head or legs off a teammate' rather than dueling master progress. But hey, easier than fishing for an alt key or setting 8 individual attack buttons. Section Z fucked around with this message at 07:38 on May 14, 2019 |

The worst part of a Short Spear nerf would be the increased odds of people going "Wait a minute, that Estoc just did 51 damage to my chainmail, AND is as long as a short spear!" instead of letting me get free pokes while half the enemy team has tunnel vision over a spear user

Avynte posted:lol, yeah Estoc is the one thing that's gotten "srs business" players cussing me out for being dishonorable. It's probably the fact it is the slowest weapon in the entire game, along with it's baby reach, that keep people from complaining usually. Pure shame is a strong thing for if people complain when something kills them or not. If they crush your skull, deep down you know you probably deserved it more than any other weapon in the game. Even when some monster in human form makes you imagine the Donkey Kong hammer music because holy poo poo See also, I've never seen anyone complain over accidentally killing themselves on spikes unless it's some rear end in a top hat trying to box in your own spawn. But if someone survives a bear trap in front of the enemy spawn, they will chase a teammate to the ends of the earth declaring their intentions to team kill them. (Or when it's enemies crying over beartraps, but if they open a door and run directly into spikes like a cartoon character, no comment).

Commoners posted:Has anyone else been using their final point in slow, heavy weapon builds to snag a dagger? It feels like you can get a big chip on someone and they never expect you to suddenly whip out a dagger and jab them in the face after they've finally gotten in on your halberd's reach. People seem to have a real challenge changing gears mentally from "I need to close on this person and just counter their slow attacks without creating an opening" to "I need to chamber and block this lunatic stabbing at me as fast as humanly possible" and it's gotten me a lot of kills, even on players that are at that level of gameplay where they're reliably chambering and blocking attacks.
