I just grinded a bunch in duel modes and have a sick enough 1v1 rapier now. Started branching out into the Frontline meta with my 3/2/1 3x Firepot Scavenger/Fire Resistant runner, where I madly rush around the map restocking on ammo and try to pick up whatever the gently caress the ashes leave behind. Good way to learn new weapons and draw the ire of ones opponents

I just don't know why people seem so determined to do everything but play with the very enjoyable mechanics. Same with career horses, archers, catapults. Is the swordplay really that intimidating? Just play the goddamn game!

Those are all the goddamn game, if you wanna do just swordplay sit in duels 24/7

The only reliable way to dodge poo poo is to always have the tip of their weapon on screen, I've found. A lot of times poo poo just isn't dodgable with matrix stuff, and the only way I've found it works is to walk through your opponents and reset with a 180

Oddly enough I found that dodging in third person is a lot easier than first person, in first person I will frequently see the tip pass my face but still hit me but in third person I can usually tell its a miss.

I felt the same way for a minute, and I do think that switching between the two when practicing is the best way to go about things. First person is easier for me to be hitting windmills though, which is the only way I ever get hits in on Duel servers

I'm really starting to enjoy playing toolbox in skirmish, half the server gets irrationally pissed off when they have to chase down the engy or bother to equip firepots

This is exactly my sentiment. Everyone is forced to wait before they can continue to enjoy the game. There's no counterplay outside of 'just avoid this area'. Even if you have fireproof, you don't want to walk through it, it just stops you from instantly dying if you touch it.

Firebombs are great for when the engineers start playing fortnite minecraft bullshit, or finishing off destruction objectives. But in that case just increase their structure damage and decrease their person damage.

Smoke bombs smother fire, FYI

Is not doing anything the same as deliberately recruiting?

Providing a space to gather and radicalize is already doing something, the question is whether one is okay with that in pursuit of the dolla

This line

"As for the title itself, we as a team don’t find it racist or offensive, and considering the thread’s content, we find it even less so. We do understand however that some people may interpret it as being racist or inappropriate if taken out of context."
is what really sold me on it. I'll prolly keep playing but not recommend to others if the devs are really this small-brained (they aren't, it's disengenous PR speak)

I just continually post "im gay" in all chat then start dumping on whoever the most vile piece of poo poo starts speaking up while continually taunting them about their ineptitude at actually playing. Makes me feel a bit better about it all.

You have useful information, but being mad is only thing you're accomplishing with it. Nobody with a different opinion is going to learn anything from a dude frothing at the mouth with a wall of text. You're not helping make it better like that.

Have we reached the realization that all of recorded history is racist, and that we, in turn, are all subconsciously racist? And that all media is also racist? Or are we still trying to post feel good Facebook stories to pretend we aren’t and argue over the internet who is the most “woke”?”, while actually doing nothing about racism?

no we haven't because modern conceptions of racism don't project back well past the 1600s or so, and absolutely make no sense before then. hth with your continuing meltdown

I picked this up on summer sale.

I like being a spear guy on a horse. It’s fun.

I cannot fight 1v1 unless it’s against someone that is also a new guy like me. Game is hard. That’s why I just plink with arrows and ride my horses.

you are valid.

New update(s?) were kinda cool, new poo poo to play with and a couple new experimental melee modes. Iunno games alright still and some of the players at least seem to have chilled on being big ol Gamers

One last thing to add is that you can crouch while swinging for a sort of accel on overheads. Oh and if you hit the ground instead of missing in the air you can keep your stamina and essentially perform an extended feint

I gotta be honest, Ive never seen more racism here than I have in most other games, but I play FPS and MMOs so those are already pretty toxic sometimes

the difference is, I think, that those two genres often have a large enough general playerbase to water down the racists/nazis/etc... while mordhau is basically a niche game that caters to them, so they're a larger total %
