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.

Babe Magnet posted:you absolutely can do this, and there's a ton of voice lines 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.

Gamerofthegame posted:peasant is rough mostly because they don't have a helmet For the sake of realism the game should be about 5 players in full armor that are entirely impervious to everything but hammers or stab damage in the visor, and everybody else is peasants. A horrible tide of peasants.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Yeah I was kinda disappointed with too. I thought the whole deal with estocs was that they were supposed to be designed for stabbing through armor but the stabs felt kinda weak against heavy armor and the slashes were near-useless. The mordhau posture was better but still not amazingly impressive. The thrusts seem to hit pretty hard against medium and light armor though. It's a slightly more lethal weapon than the stock longsword, slightly faster on most attacks, especially the mordhau swings. The stabs and mordhau strikes are about even against heavy armor because of that. It's just hard to justify it compared to a great sword or especially a zweihander. Because of how the dragging works a slower attack speed is more a benefit than a libaility I feel like, you get in peoples heads really easy.

I recommend trying a Horde server with max players, I've been in a 50 person one that reliably gets to the last wave and thats worth at least 1000 gold each time. You have enough downtime when you die too for searching the map so I'm learning where all the spawns for everything are.

They're one of the last places you can be a really exclusionary dick in the name of historical accuracy. I really appreciate what mount and blade did by just saying, 'screw it, its all fantasy!' This game is pretty much fantasy too since its mixing over 1000 years of real armor and weapons with game of thrones generic leather fantasy armor and vikings and also ninjas?? All at once.

You can couch the estoc when mounted, I was really surprised. Do any of the other two handers let you do that? Also had a really fun moment against a spear and shield user where they maneuvered themselves into a real bad corner so I just kept kicking them until they died.

Jarvisi posted:Any tips for survival mode? I get totally owned and the hoe is very unwieldy Always have a good hoe by your side, A good tip is to drag closer during the swing so you make contact faster, the AI doesn't panic parry so it's more useful than against normal players. Instead of giving ground I charge towards groups of enemies and go towards their middle/flanks, pruning as I move around them and just out of reach. You'll get mad kills until you finally make a mistake and a scythe sneaks up on you for a decapitation, and then you have to sit around while the smarter but also unbearably boring archer players kite the mobs and pick them off one by one for the next 15 minutes.

I like the little dialogues you can have with the basic voice lines. Enemy engineer set up a ballista overlooking our point and took aim at me, I managed to zig and zag and get out of the arc and ran up to him but then instead of just attacking did a greeting, pointed at the ballista and said no a bunch, they replied sorry, and then i broke it and ran back down to the point while they ran off. A small play in 1 act.

Any game that has them as a big part of its aesthetic will attract that crowd, and you better believe every single one of these kinds of games has. Different game but me and friends kept a screenshot wall of fame for every heated gamer moment we got thrown at us in the duel mode of For Honor and whoo boy even online gaming since a kid i havent seen it like that until we started playing. This game has come close a couple times though.

Comrayn posted:Do you have to stay through the end of the game to get any xp/gold? Kind of kills the jump in/out nature of log game modes. Yeah, i kind of like it because it incentivizes people to stay in losing matches though. I will say that 1000 tickets in frontline seems like way too much, especially since the game is usually devided by who took central point first and ive only seen a real back and forth a couple of times, and a halfway through the match reversal once.

TorakFade posted:Wouldn't bet on that, with triternion being an 11 man team in total It's a full morph face creator, you can already shape it however you want. Adding something that complicated and then willingly choosing to limit the skin tones to 6 options is sus as hell in a niche genre thats already rife with white supremacy. I'm not going to attribute it to malice yet but It's always gonna be in the back of mind until they fix it.

Taleworlds was a similarly small team almost a decade ago when they released mount and blade and they really smartly sidestepped all the problems by making it historical fantasy right out of the gate and just letting you be what you please.

Anyways even if they add all that I refuse to be satisfied until I can wear a big metal ostentatious foot tourney skirt instead of dumb cloth and viking leather ones. Fun Game Science I proved empirically: If you try to go allwyte armor without any waist cloth at all you will be teamhit at least 3 times as much just because it leaves you pretty much no color at all except the tiny gaps in your legs that arent visible from the front.

That guy was a founder of Rebellion Dev btw, neat chap.

If you want some cool books Torak check out Oakeshotte's A Knight and His .... series, its 4 or 5 inexpensive and thin books but Oakeshotte was a supreme researcher with a lifelong interest in swords and armor so the whole collection together is an excellently good starting point for this subject.

I see them for 10-12€ each on Amazon which isn't so cheap, but there's one on sale for 5€ (A Knight and his Castle) so I'm getting that, if I find it good I'll get the others too Castle is the book that deals the most with daily life and organization and training, Armor is a developmental history of armor with commentary, Weapons is all about smashy stabby things, Horse talks a lot about the selection and training of mounts and the life of the tournament, Knight in Battle is an in depth look at four battles and the tactics used: Arsuf, Lincoln, Mauron, and Marignano. They're old rear end books, like originally from the 60, and written for a younger audience, but still hold up entirely today. Sharkopath fucked around with this message at 17:19 on May 7, 2019 |

Re the Billhook: The first time I saw somebody I considered straight up untouchable in the game thats what they were using, by the end of a match of taiga on a 36 player frontline server they were 80-15. They used the poke super judiciously and were also excellent at baiting out parries and punishing for them, I don't know about the actual numbers statwise for the hook but I was darn afraid of that person.

Ravenfood posted:Bows are just really long-range spears. Also I want proper objective maps instead of this weird hybrid. The thousand ticket matches take too long for my taste right now, especially since all it really comes down to is holding middle point for slightly longer than the enemy and waiting the clock out. Most of the time game is set before the first quarter and there is hardly ever any back and forth if one side then fortifies middle.

I think the high damage weapons are just better all around because of how the game works, its about second guessing and reacting and the more hits it takes to kill somebody the more chances you have to make mistakes in addition to giving the enemy more chances to defend and stall. Especially for objective modes, its a bit different in duels when you dont have to worry about a long ttk meaning an enemy might just respawn and rejoin the fight you started by killing them. The amount of people I've killed by just engaging with two feints into two sideswipes with the executioner or eveningstar... It's not like the heavy attack animation weapons are more high risk either, you can still play defensively with one. The longer attack animations mean drags are more effective at changing timing so you can catch panic parries much easier, ask anybody who fought an executioner. I've come out on top of 1v4 scenarios through good footwork and switching targets midswing with a high damage weapon, when the enemy has to hit you 4 times and you only need one or two you have an advantage even outnumbered.

Phlegmish posted:I'm trying out estoc, it's decent, but the damage output seems underwhelming. Which sword are you guys rocking, would you recommend it? What should you be aiming for with a sword, anyway? The estoc is a longsword that trades some of its slash damage for ludicrous stabs. 2-3 shot stabs against heavy armor, its neat.

Babe Magnet posted:I can understand wanting to nitpick about realism if that's something the developers of any given game are actually going for, like the more sperg-ey car or airplane simulators, but mordhau is not and never was intended to have a completely realistic setting so yeah it's best to tune that out. Like the time period is clearly "1500s.... give or take" which is a really good place to settle. Lots of very cool technology development in the armor and weaponry in the hundred years on either side. Try a variance of many hundreds of years. The arming sword is a pre norman viking blade and the burgonet is a gunpowder era helmet form. It's not possible to really put together an accurate harness of any time period and most of the costume selection is pure fantasy.

If it was set as a distinct period in the early 16th century every piece of t3 leg armor would have a massive hollow codpiece. It would be cool to have another game that wasnt generic medieval fantasy and did pick a specific time period but then the smelly vikings would riot and nobody wants to deal with angry smelly vikings.

That's more a 16th century / gunpowder era thing and there's not a lot of it game. The maximilian chest and burgonet helm abouts. I've been topfraggin with the Bardiche lately and I love it. Had the first I'm a golden god moment where I took on 6 people by myself and came out on top through movement and getting them to hit each other instead of me and then picking them off one by one with headshots.

A high damage two hander just minimizes the amount of correct guesses you need to kill somebody, its always going to be more efficient and useful than the lower damage single hand weapons, either in duels or team scenarios or being outnumbered.

The players with the most impact in frontline were maul users I've found. The ability to just single handedly delete gangs of enemies single file and take the point instead of being tied down in a series of protracted individual combats is pretty big.
