Bought this immediately as I've been itching to get my Chivalry on since it was announced. I will never not be screaming and laughing maniacally as the vets cut me to ribbons.

Ah, I think I quit playing Chivalry before I saw too much of that. So that guy is complaining that the devs tried to mitigate bullshit that's isn't fun to play against.

He still played for 50 hours, though. :lol:

I can never play without Flesh Wound again. It's so satisfying punching several people to death with your remaining arm as you gargle-scream through blood. The sound design of this game is incredible. I also like how positively demonic some of the voices sound with a helmet on.

So many Pepe avatars. Glad I can disable the n-word spam box at least.

Having an okay time with a 3-2-1 armour setup with the longsword and throwing axes. Lost too many points to idiots rushing into my fire bombs.

Excellent! So pompus beard man now, beefy lady later. Got it.

Does it cost currency of any kind, in-game or monetization nonsense, to customize? Can you freely pick colors for all your parts?

You have some free pieces, but the rest cost gold and some are level restricted. You accumulate gold and XP every match. There are a bunch of default classes to play around with, though.

Some of the colours are level restricted, too, but team matches override those anyway unless you disable it, making it difficult to discern who's who.

Speaking of, is the XP/gold just based on time played or do points factor in? I had one really good match skewering noobs left and right, and it didn't pay out much more than the ones where I got stomped repeatedly.

What exactly does playing a lute do in this game? Cause the prospect of being a lovely bard amuses me greatly but I don't want to be literally useless.

You can smack people upside the head with it. Besides that it provides a cheerful soundtrack to the slaughter, especially if people use that macro thingy to play proper melodies.

Agreed on Mountain Peak. Taiga is absolutely the worst in that department, the only time I've seen Blues win was when the Reds were really, really bad. Reds also tend to win on Grad in my experience. I've seen Blues win more often on Camp than Reds, though.

The gold payouts are always the same numerically for me depending on the length of the match and when I joined, at least on Frontlines. I guess XP might be different.

Either that or time is weighted above all else, to the point where it's almost irrelevant.

Flesh Wound is awesome and it's so satisfying to kick your killer to death before collapsing. Sometimes you can even get a couple of his friends if he didn't lop off your sword arm.

It is extremely, extremely soothing to load up the ol' half-naked neanderthal brawler and just running around hucking rocks at people or punching them, spamming laughter the entire time. Better still when some guy is LuteBotting it up next to you.

This, but with a rock.

Rocks are fantastic. You won't top the scoreboard, but people will beeline for you the second you start pelting them, allowing your team to swoop in and do the heavy lifting. Sometimes you'll steal a kill or two. Dodge-Brawler with Friendly, double rocks and a quarterstaff. I'm a fooking legend!

Game keeps launching at 1366x768 instead of 1920x1080, I have to manually apply it every single time. Can I force it with launch parameters or something? I tried changing all the resolution lines in GameUserSettings.ini to no avail.

And is there an advanced tweaking guide somewhere? Performance goes down the shitter on the new map especially. I don't mean those "Disable everything or put it on low" competitive guides, something that'll give me 60 fps without sacrificing visual fidelity. Older Unreal games had a shitload of .ini tweaks to squeeze more frames out of them.

The way to grind gold is to make an AFK macro that runs in circles or kicks once every second, then join one of the no-FF double/triple damage Horde servers and leave it running overnight. It's like Bitcoin for stylish people.

The first step would prrrobably be to disregard the cries of censorship from those who think Hitler was an underachiever, then maybe the rest of the playerbase would feel inclined to help them disassociate their game from white supremacy. They made like a million dollars per developer in the first few weeks, maybe some of that money could go toward hiring a moderator or two as well? Just spitballing here.

Set up an AFK macro and join a gold farming server overnight, provided a teammate doesn't spawn out of bounds and keep the server in wave 2 limbo, you'll accumulate a bunch.
