gosh there are so many racist dudes playing this game! you'd think typing the n-word would be an autoban but it's probably 80% of the chat's vocabulary game's fun though

the problem is that people treat enemy horses like they're Reaper in Gold-tier Overwatch -- they pretend the scary horse doesn't exist and hope it doesn't kill them instead of actually contesting it like dang, the horse's health doesn't regenerate, if all of our team tries to hit the horse every time it rides by/fires or throws things at the horse, it should go down quick just don't ignore the dang horse! the same goes for dudes who manage to get on the enemy ballista on the castle in Grad and fire into blue team's back. For some reason people straight-up cannot figure out when this happens

Babe Magnet posted:I feel like it has something to do with just how easy it is to change your steam handle. Like, an auto-flag system may not work because thousands of people are constantly changing their name around, maybe it can't handle it. I dunno, I do make an effort to report a lot of the really bad and obviously lovely stuff though. Solution: everyone gets a National Gamer ID at birth which you use across all games. If you get banned on a game for typing a heated Gamer Word then that’s it for you, buster

NigelThornberry posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LbYHo3K0J4 I am not good at this game but one thing I do is that every time I hear or see a horse I try to contest it, like throw something at the horse or try to stab or whatever, and when I see clips like this it's easy to figure out why the horse is still alive when I've hit it for 30+ damage three times in two minutes -- 90% of the player base's anti-horse strategy is "pretend the scary horse doesn't exist"

cerebral posted:I've become convinced that the power of horses in this game is largely psychological. If people would adopt your attitude and actually fight against them, they would crumple, and we wouldn't see dudes going 56 and 3 playing my little pony for an entire round. If archers would shoot them, that would also be magical, but I won't hold my breath waiting on that, much better to fire arrows from spawn in hopes that they magically land on an enemy out of visual range. this is exactly it, if everyone just acknowledged that the horse existed and took a swing at it or shot at it it'd be able to make one pass around the battlefield before it crumpled

Avynte posted:I'm normally one for always mashing auto-assign, but red on crossroads is too cathartic to pass up. Chilling in the ammo tower with a longbow, if you toss enough arrows out, that magical headshot on a harassing rider feels so good. And they all follow the same circles around too. I spent a round playing billhook wild weasel on the outside and I think I killed horses just as often as I got killed, which is fine by me since I'm also counting all the kills they could have gotten but didn't because I hooked them off their ride and beat their heads in

Moose King posted:My biggest complaint about horses is that you can only aim 90 degrees to the side with a bow. A horse archer should be able to aim almost 180 degrees to their left, M&B even had this! How am I supposed to get my Mongol on if I can't run away and shoot arrows at the same time? M&B wouldn't let you aim too far to the right either IIRC

Telltolin posted:I have noticed that people play cavalry almost identically to mount&blade - as in, hitting people once from behind who are already engaged fighting, and then dipping regardless of whether they get the kill or not. I guess that kinda hit&run is probably the most effective use of horses, since stopping near enemies would be bad for your health - but the fact that they're so much harder to hit/kill with melee weapons is a bit of a bummer. It's also harder to see them coming in mordhau, compared to warband's zoomed-out third person. As a result most of my interaction with cavalry has been me saying "what just killed me outta nowhere?" Really, the only thing I'd change is to reduce the bump radius around the horse (which seems to be a common complaint), and add extra momentum damage for hits against riders that are hit while moving quickly. I'd say that they need louder hoofbeats so you can tell when they're up on you, but they might already and it's my dumb fault for listening to stuff while playing and having the game fairly quiet. The hoofbeats are pretty loud, might just be me though Really I think the horses need to be slowed or stop when stabbed from the front by a polearm but otherwise they're not so bad as long as people pay attention to them and take a swing at them or throw things at them. Actually if everyone did this reliably horses would be extremely underpowered because you wouldn't make it around the arena once.

Phlegmish posted:If you take a swing it leaves you wide open to getting insta-wrecked by them, and even if that doesn't happen you'll get flinched out of your attack animation nine times out of ten. I still do it because I hate them so much, but it's not very cost-effective. true but if they're not specifically targeting you it's pretty easy to get a good swing or thrust in regardless it's better than doing what most people do, which is nothing across pretty much every multiplayer game far too many players let their opponents do whatever they want with no counterplay. like I can get biting on feints all the time but even if you suck (I suck!) you can do SOMETHING

I feel like firebombs rarely have a legit impact on whether the game is won or lost but they do end up being a "you have to stop playing the game for 10 seconds" button don't think they should be removed but I feel like maybe they could be more impactful and less annoying?

Qubee posted:my fav are the cata users who miss every shot, and then finally manage to land a big bombah of a hit except it's all teamkills. then they cry when someone goes and teamkills them for being poo at the game. or those ballista dudes who camp the entire game on it and just miss every shot, adding nothing to the fight, or skewering a teammate. actually, now that we're on this topic: gently caress javelin users / archers who get point blank in a fight and then whomp you in the back instead of the enemy you're just about to kill. amount of times I'm swinging a killing blow only to die to one of these teammates, it's like ruined orgasm levels of horrible. I had one game on Camp where red was pushing to take River, and we'd just about capped it, and then a catapult idiot landed a six-person TK, and I'm almost entirely certain that one shot lost us the game, because we were never able to retake it I told him as such in the team chat and he said "you're just mad because you suck" and while that may be true overall I was at the top of the leaderboard in this one so joke's on you, buddy!

Everything else is relentlessly obnoxious positivity. Once in awhile I'll say something like, "Play the points please," but other than that it's all, "You guys are doing great!" "If we lose, I want you all to know that I blame myself." "I'm proud of all of you!" Sometimes I ask people to please go to the point and also take a swing at the 50-2 horselord

Switching to billhook is such a legit counter to horses that it amazes me how rarely you see it. I joined a Crossroads server where Red decided to ignore the scary Blue horses, switched to Billhook, and dehorsed 15 of them. Just me! And I suck! Imagine what TWO would do. Or three.

Horses are only dangerous if your team doesn't pay attention, because if even like five people have their headphones on and take a swing at them the horseman makes one pass at best before being dehorsed unfortunately since no teams pay attention, horses are always at least a little dangerous

Qubee posted:Makes me really want to take part in coordinated clan battles. It was a shame to see how hard some players in the blue team were trying. Three or four players would spawn in as heavily armoured guys with no weapons and just smoke bombs, then attempt to carry in a keg. Other dudes would just fully kit out in smoke bombs and have no armour on. Then you look at the rest of their team, and it's just morons fighting miles away from the point in their own personal skirmishes instead of overwhelming the objective. In many multiplayer games, there comes a time when there is exactly one (1) place players need to be, but 90% of players will somehow find a way to be somewhere else

the extra stuff is good because running up on an archer or artilleryman who's got blinders on and introducing their head to Consequences is a great feeling as is billhooking a knight off a horse and then following up with the coup de grace. v. satisfying

it turns out if you do a kind of vertical accel where you look up as you begin your stab and then look at your opponent as the animation completes that a lot of people have trouble reading it more so than if you were dragging or accelerating a swing, for example
