How is this game with small weapons blocking larger ones? One thing that really got my goat in Chivalry is when a player with like a greatsword or maul went up against an archer with their dinky little dagger, getting effortlessly blocked until the heavier weapon guy ran out of stamina and then getting poked to death. Sure, there should be a way for anyone to win any duel, but it shouldn't be by tanking 5-pound weapons with a pigsticker.

Pulcinella di Bund posted:hitting somebody with a flying falchion right in the face before they can hit you with their stupid pole arm or giant sword and getting the kill for yourself instead is very satisfying and pretty funny when you retrieve it out of their dead body I'm stealing this move and calling it the Falchion Punch

Watching heads explode from maul smashes is a joy I didn't know I needed in my life. Also, to an earlier discussion: if you check out the advanced stats for your weapons you'll see that the game sets maximum mouselook speed while swinging melee weapons, making Chivalry-style helicoptering impossible.

One of the achievements is to get a kill with the training sword, a weapon that does around the same amount of damage as the carving knife. Goddamnit why did I bother looking up the achievements

TorakFade posted:Same. Fireproof is pretty good until people stop abusing firebombs, but you can just not walk into the fire, and if you're constantly moving as you should you won't be caught in it that much This is the kind of advice that seems very fine and sensible until every enemy team you run into's got at least two jackasses packing 2-3 firebombs who are really good at setting up boxes of fiery death. Or even worse, the opposite.

Is the war axe the only melee weapon that has no alt mode? Hell, even the maul can be thrown! (which is the most humiliating throw kill for my money, it only goes about 30 feet even with a sky-high arc) Seems like it should get the same grip mod as the evening star.

I bought the claymore skin for the greatsword expecting it to just override all the other options, but it unlocked a full set of claymore customizations in the other slots  fuuuuuuuck I'm gonna waste so much gold on weapon skins nowUnlucky7 posted:So the teams are red vs blue and there is no way to change this. EXCEPT that people can be covered in red blood! AND there is team damage! And yet when you turn off team colors and turn on the overhead icon, it's this tiny dull yellow cross that's easy to lose in frenzies so it's hardly more helpful. And it seems most people are wearing tactical earth tones instead of the awesomely loud colors that medieval armies/mercenaries actually employed so disabling team colors is a huge disappointment anyway!

I tried extreme sniper god longbow archery and it was boring, and also not very fun because of how slow arrows are in this game. Crossbow is better because you can aim longer and even fire a bit farther but still not great, but recurve bow extra-long spearman is where it's at. I don't even mind that kills are relatively rare because you can rack up plenty of points from rapid-fire pincushioning everything in sight for mucho assists anyway, and whipping out a mace whenver anyone survives to meet you face-to-face feels amazing.

Songbearer posted:Is it just me or does this game seem way easier in 3rd person? Being able to see your actual animations and the real physical reach of the sword has prevented a lot of "why the gently caress did my blade not reach" stuff that having no true 3D in first person does for melee combat. It definitely helps for stabs, side-swings are fine in first person but stabs and sometimes overheads/underhands can be drat near invisible without the parallax that the third person camera's offset provides. I bet this game would be dope as all getout in 3D.

hakimashou posted:In chivalry fighting off your shoulder instead of in front of you was a viable thing Plenty of the longer weapons in this game have horizontal arcs that start and end off the screen, unless you're in third person or have the FOV jacked way up into fisheye range. I'm not a great player by any means but I've pulled a few samurai  kills by starting a swing just as someone goes offscreen and popping them out of sight.Telltolin posted:I've noticed a bug since last night where every time I try to buy a piece of equipment, I get a spinning loading wheel forever I've seen similar reports in the official forums, along with buying equipment and having it remain locked while it takes your gold.

It buys the item and it works after restarting, but this happens buying something every single time now. I'm verifying files on steam now in the hopes that fixes it.

Rynoto posted:The parrying you see in fighting games like this has nothing do with reality anyways. The entire point was to deflect rather than block weapon strikes because even attempting to fully block even with a large, heavy weapon would leave you with a twisted wrist at best and outright breaking it at worst. Incidentally daggers were perfectly fine for deflecting large weapons. I'll swing the maul/sledgehammer, you parry it with the dagger. I promise I won't hold back, wouldn't want a compromised test now!

Hybrid mode works for me, manually side-switching is a bridge too farBabe Magnet posted:one thing I've noticed in regards to that, and something that's starting to make frontlines a little more frustrating, is that people are able to tie you up longer, which is fine on its own but really makes archery stand out as kind of being in an unfun place imo. I'm not generally against archery as much as some people, but man is it starting to feel like a tool for Fun Denying more than anything. I just don't know what I would do about it. I wouldn't remove it, it has its place, but I also wouldn't make the weapons much weaker either, maybe a little weaker against heavier armor. Maybe limit the amount of archers that a team of a given size can field? I don't know. Make the bows have differing properties vs. armor/hit location like different melee weapons do, or maybe you can switch between arrows that do better against stronger armor or weaker/no armor with alt-fire?

The eveningstar is more versatile than other blunt weapons with its actually good stab and switch grip, and can smash through armor like the mace while being longer and the maul while being faster, it's the total package.

Zotix posted:I just got 660xp on camp. Was a long match and as winners we won with only like 50 points remaining since we snatched a heavily fortified middle about 4 min from the end. I ended up going 36-12 which was probably my best k:d for a high scoring match to date. It was also the highest XP I've ever received by a long shot. I did shoot 3 horsies with balista which is probably one of the most satisfying things in the game. Despite being a sword, the executioner is spiritually an axe and should be regarded as such when considering your tactical preferences. It's essentially the high-tier (in terms of point cost and size) war axe to the bardiche's battle axe.

Glenn Quebec posted:Me and a few friends went at it for a while with training swords and 3/3/3 armor. That's a great way to learn honestly I forget if it was you or someone else who said they went into a duel server with two training swords and threw one on the ground, and usually their opponent would be into it and then they'd just practice poo poo without even having to communicate? IT WORKS. I did this yesterday for about an hour and got better at chambering and riposting than I have the entire time playing since release. Training swords are such a good inclusion and not just for the dumb achievement.

I have a dumb question: How many heavy leg options are in the game? I have a vague memory of there being more than three just after launch but I only have access to three now. I dismissed it as a glitch or something, however I just read a bug report in the official forums of someone who just had the same thing happen to them.
