One thing I miss from Chivalry is the bug where burning corpses would Never Stop Screaming.

Other than that, this game is the goddamn tits.

So...does the game have server issues or is something wrong with my settings? I can't seeł to join a game through matchmaking, and no servers are showing up on the server browser.

Funky thing is, it doesn't automatically populate the server list, you have to click on the refresh button first. And even still it gives no indication of activity, but it should plop up the list in a few seconds.

I'd enjoy this game even more if it didn't start severy stuttering for a few seconds every few minutes. Really loving cool to be in a nice fight that's going well and suddenly HRRRKRRRKK and I'm dead because i can't loving see what's happening.

I've seen a lot of people running around with no shirt but they also don't appear to be running the peasant perk, since they have axes or zweihanders, so they aren't forced to have no armor.

Protip: this is a profoundly bad idea. You will get one shot by a lot of things. Even the light armor helps a ton.

Counterpoint: It is amusing and therefore the best idea.

They actually differ a lot more on the character than those boxes seem. Like, the darkest one is really pretty dusky.

Same, after I punched someone to death with my bloody arm stump. Also it's funny how many people seem to declare mission accomplished when they get me to 0 and take me leg off or something. Then they just turn and try to walk away, only to get my flying falchion to the back of their head. Then I hop on over and collapse on top of them in a bloody heap, mid-laugh.

Is there any point to using the bastard sword two-handed? According to the advanced stats screen the only difference is that it's slower. Is there something not evident from the stats?

Man, I am not doing well with the bastard sword. I keep loving whiffing with the stab constantly.

EDIT: Well, I say that and then immediately go on a four kill rampage shanking fools in the face. Go figure.

Well at any rate I stopped bashing my head into the Frontline meatwall and switched to a 16 player TDM server, and just finished a match at 21/14, so I think I'm just better at smaller scale engagements. Or I'm just starting to get in the zone with the bastard/buckler combo. More testing is required.

I remember like 5 (maybe more) years ago I played Chivalry and loved it. It was such a dumb fun game. But the MOST IMPORTANT part of Chivalry was that every class had ridiculous battle cries and taunts. Every match was a cacophony of rapturous screaming and archaic insults flung in thick English accents.

What I'm asking is, does this game have that same kind of feeling that Chivalry had? With the shouting and stabbing and general chaos?

The warcries and such are maaaaaaaybe a smidge less awesome than in Chivalry, but yeah it's utter loving mayhem, and it's glorious.

Note to self: if you see a guy named "Jax" in the opposite team, just walk the gently caress away. Jesus.

One thing I'd recommend early on is finding yourself a small server. Doesn't even have to be a dedicated Duel server, just something that's like 12 players or fewer. It's generally less frustrating if you've got some time to actually see what's going on without getting immediately steamrolled by half a dozen people the moment you turn around. Besides, it also tends to be a way more chill atmosphere, letting you shoot the poo poo with the others and do dumb stuff.

Also seconding this advice. Just basic Free-for-all with 12 people is nice and chill (insofar as a game about bloody axe murders can be) and there's usually some amusing gimmick fuckery going on.

Frankly I don't think this thread is the place for it. They existed at all is reason enough for the colors to be in, that it is not a realistic historical game is reason enough for them to be in, that these types of game tend to attract a certain sort of type of human garbage is reason enough to be wary that the lack of the inclusion is something other than ignorance. Similarly I don't think we need to burn the place down witch hunting if they aren't openly lovely about it - and eventually fix it - and can just keep playing the game and whining about rapiers.

I swear I'm the most inconsistent player in this game. I'll do okay one match, then the map changes and I just run face first into halberd swings for 15 minutes, then suddenly the stars shift and I carve through a dozen people like an avatar of death.

What is Skirmish mode, I'm not seeing an explanation listed, it seems to only be available from server browser?

It's like Team Deathmatch, but instead of constant respawning like in TDM, dead people stay dead until one team loses and the next round begins.

I mean it wasn't balanced in the slightest, even more-so than normal Chivalry but it came out before everyone learned to abuse reversals and helicopters and was just good fun.
In my experience it never really had the problem with them even while main Chiv was loving lousy with that poo poo. Also the playerbase seemed much more chill on average, too. I remember jumping onto some DM server where some oldtimer was tutoring a bunch of new players and everyone was having a good time. Another match all pirates congregated in one corner of the map and just drank rum and spammed our stupid voice emotes, not fighting apart from wrecking anyone who wandered in trying to start poo poo.

I have taken up the habit of throwing poo poo at horse lords every chance I get. Most of the time it's pretty futile, but I have been rewarded with a few sick throwing axe headshots at some oval office going perpendicular at full gallop. Haven't had the wherewithal to save those clips, sadly.

I thought I'd find duel servers boring, but nah. Spent a few hours on one the other day, it was a lot of fun. That dude playing referee was there for a while (or someone else doing the same gimmick anyways) and we also had like three different bards who just stood on ledges and pillars playing stuff with LuteBot. Every now and then someone would take a break from dueling and go up to a bard and jam out with emotes for a while. I also didn't get destroyed quite as bad as I thought I would, I was pretty much in the middle of the pack and actually managed to beat some of the top dogs a couple times.

TorakFade posted:

Sadly every once in a while clueless people drop in and start attacking like it's a FFA, or come in with longbows and hide on ledges, and gently caress your poo poo up while you're dueling :mad:

There were a few of these as well, but really it wasn't nearly as annoying as it was funny seeing them get dogpiled to poo poo and then kicked from the server. :v:

If an archer is by a ledge I will always kick him off it.

Been doing this since Chivalry.

Okay "always" is an exaggeration, but any friendly archer in my vicinity is always at risk of getting kicked. This risk increases exponentially the further they are from the action and the more they are in the way.

It's not that I even personally hate archers, it's just traditional.
