Very hype for this game but I'm a sucker for medieval "realistic" games. Played a ton of War of the Roses (Rip) and Chivalry. Shout out to Of Kings and Men, the last early access game I ever got.

We'll see more variety open up when you can start playing and earning money. The fact that the beta dorks are running out with zweihanders and the health gain on kill is cheesy as poo poo and it seems like the people who love this kind of game the most are determined to sink it asap.

This is always the case in high skill cap games that aren’t just FPS. People who are good seem to be on a mission to crush everyone else and ruin the game for everyone ensuring it dies before any kind of critical mass of people get into it. I don’t get it but there’s always people who just want to feel like the big man playing god mode or whatever. They did at least fix the stupid helicopter overhead smash moves and all that from chivalry right?

The game is quite good. Very challenging but feels fair and you understand how and why you died. I enjoy that blocking w/o a shield is non-directional and timing based. A lot of the game has a certain rhythm to it, which is good.

Not getting coins or XP in local games feels like being punished and is a bad call.

Edit: yeah no helicopter bullshit

What, exactly, do you expect the people that are good at the game/mechanics to do about this? Just sit still and die? Pull their punches and not have fun? Go fists only and have fun until people figure out how to fight against that? It's really not fun to sit there parrying some guy for 2 minutes until his friends come to make it a 3v1 and it becomes interesting. It is fun to run around feeling like the Chosen of Khorne.

If the people aren't using something that's completely broken take it as a chance to try to learn to deal with them. Hell, even if they are then dealing with cheese is something you'll want to practice too. You'll lose every fight, most likely, but you'll start making progress. You'll learn how to read things and get forced to learn to time parries and use kicks more effectively.

There's no real matchmaking and no MMR system of any sort. Matches will be horribly imbalanced. I hope they do something about this but, until they do, do you want people that get a >3:1 K:D to just quit the game or something?

I don't think you understand what his point is even though it's pretty succinct. Maybe more game modes that allow for training? Smaller scale battles? Coins and exp. for playing locally? Maybe matchmaking and MMR?

I don't think anyone needs to be patronized about making progress in a high skill game we've all been there before.

I've also have had better success in games with my mongoloid peasant then my 'cool' try hard knight. I just toggle sprint around everyone and hit them in the back of the head with a hammer which is loving hysterical

Section Z posted:

I think I heard the chase mechanic includes "Are they holding a bow or thrown weapon? You run faster towards them" somewhere, and I'm hoping that's just hyperbole and not an actual thing.

At least a speed boost when chasing after cowards who turn their back and run feels good. I can't imagine feeling very proud of myself that I got a leg up against "Man holding still or slowly backpedaling". Particularly as now you can apparently parry arrows with your sword revengeance style.

If you run away your attacker is faster I read somewhere which is a bummer.

Oh I'm perfectly fine with a catch up mechanic against people who are running away. I'm just curious if some"gently caress archers!" mentality has actually resulted in speed boosts against people who are merely holding a bow. Or if it's an exaggeration and chase mechanics are still just for when people turn tail and run.

I think it's the latter tbh

So apparently sometime soon they're going to reset everyone to level 5, reset all unlocks, and give everyone 5k gold. Probably when they get progression sorted out.

@everyone Back end server is back online, rewards should be processed again. Some servers might be still having issues until we sort them out. Restart your game if unlocking in the armory doesn't work

The interface for getting into a game is a pain in the rear end. It takes forever for either matchmaking to find a game or the server browser to update the list and if it decides the game is full while you're in the loading screen then you get to repeat the process all over again.

I don't have any clue what do do against dudes with shields other than run around to hit them in the back while they're fighting a teammate or just swingswingswing and hope for them to just randomly not block.

Front kick into a stab works well for me. Baiting them into attacking works too. Eventually their stamina will run out from blocking.

One thing to remember is that you can stab with the mace to break their long swings if you get in their face. Also dragging the mace will let you pop heads with a satisfying melin squish.

I do like how the ballistics makes long range kills really enjoyable.

My only issue with the rapier is that you simply stab with it instead of lunging to cover distance and then retreat. The distance you need to stay to avoid attacks usually is too far to counter-attack.

Take the Dodge perk to dodge forward and attack then dodge back or to the side?
