Don't forget there's no visible reason for the votekick, and console players (and gamepass...) can't see chat, so if the numbers don't give it away they're just guessing. And the idle timer resets when you die, so if the objectives are progressing quickly enough a player can be idle literally the entire match and never have more than 20 seconds idle time. Oh and I hope there aren't more than 2 or 3 AFK players on the team, otherwise it will be literally impossible to hit the vote threshold.

It’s been brought up, but the d-pad buttons to cycle weapons are also the buttons for voting, I assume it’s the same buttons for the PC crowd, too? Same thing when there’s a prompt to spawn at the next objective, or as a boss character. The d-pad buttons to vote are not up and down, as you might think. It’s left and right, lol. Can you turn off the chat in options? I feel like it’d affect the way I play if I saw it. There’d be a temptation to seek justice and not seek objectives. edit: There's been a hotfix today, Chivalry 2 Hotfix 2.9.2 posted:Good morrow knights! A minor hotfix (2.9.2) has been released with balance adjustments to The Reclamation of Montcrux, fixes to the Crossparty Beta system, as well as a handful of general bug fixes. Improved reliability of friend online status seems like a tough thing to enforce Oh nice they fixed the Rudhelm gate? Chuds McGreedy fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Jan 16, 2024 |

you can shut chat off, and PC votes with f5 and K lol i would honestly say its easier to get the first place player kicked, regardless of who they are, compared to AFKers or team killers/trolls

crank is among the easiest objectives to defend in the game so far, defense spawns right there and its surrounded by choke points. i honestly think theyre balancing the maps around the reality that ppl hate playing defense and tenosia lmao i havent played it yet but im glad they theoretically fixed pathing oh and shoutout to rudhelm gate working again i guess

They broke the right side spawn door in Montcrux for Tenosia, too. The trap on Montxrux at the gate doesn’t work anymore either, if it ever did. I killed six people in two pulls and got zero points, they all just showed as suicide

TB is the only developer ive really experienced that made such a fun game that also is constantly broken / has such glaring day 1 issues (ie, dark forest setting you the gently caress on fire because it has invisible fire on first objective)

Chiv definitely gives me Gamer Whiplash in unprecedented ways. On the one hand, I’ve never put 800 hours into a multiplayer game and probably only spent that much time on FFXI and Medieval 2, but instead of getting bored, I’ve been more and more invested in the game as my skills improve. On the other, they’ve somehow managed to introduce frame drops, more hitreg errors, and some of the absolute worst matchmaking decisions in the history of online gaming on top of a 95% irredeemable garbage community. I still don’t understand why they removed the arena maps from the playlists. Wardenglade/statues circle/arena are my favorite maps by a wide margin and I haven’t played any of them since summer. Who asked for that? Who was clamoring for TB to remove functional, years-old content and restrict it to an unpopular mode? Genuinely flabbergasting stuff

I think that's one good move they've made, for a playlist titled team objective I don't consider deathmatch an objective and it saves me from migrating lobbies any time bangers like wardenglade or desert come up

I’ve never really played any modes beyond 64p TO playlist or messed with the server list. I’m not sure I’d do very well, but it would be a useful learning opportunity to engage in 1v1 matches and smaller TDMs to unlearn some of the habits that come from relying on teammates to cover flanks and ambushing people. Another regular US East player suggested I try out duel servers, too, which I’ve also never bothered with but would be similarly useful. I’ve still been spending most of my time with unorthodox weapons and I think it’s improved my overall skills.

Unpopular opinion but I don't think there's anything you can pick up in duels that you can't pick up in TO (the reverse is not true). If you're trying to get better just pay attention to why you died and in the meantime play the game mode you enjoy.

Yeah I have consistently improved just playing a lot of TO on what I sort of think of as self-directed shuffle, switching weapons to things I haven’t used often/didn’t learn the game with every life or every other life. Managed to top frag today and beat out EvilEasterBunny (who was on defense), a considerably better player than I am, by focusing hard on alternating bonks and 1vX with the 1h mace. The 1h axe also owns, I played with it a lot when I first started but put it away for a long time. Using it today I’m realizing the speed, high damage, and swordlike overhead give it a lot of advantages and managed to get 26 kills in a life using just that, which is on the higher end of my one-life killstreak record

Also consider spending time with the mace, or any other "stops on contact" weapon with a shield. You can throw out super fast strikes and people often block improperly as a result. They can be devastating when you have multiple targets to ping pong hits off of

Agree 💯 about positioning. 64 player kinda wrecks that but if you get an ally or 2 going along the flanks you can often get something going. It's also important to fight very dirty and pick off anyone that is cut off from their team. Lately I've been trying to use the engi to creatively disrupt reinforcements and sight lines

You can throw out super fast strikes and people often block improperly as a result. They can be devastating when you have multiple targets to ping pong hits off of Yeah I’ve spent like 75% of my time in the last week with the 1h mace as either knight or footman and it might be my favorite weapon. I get an outrageous amount of takedowns by just shooting around bopping people in the way you describe and still exceed my usual kill count by getting in behind groups and using a heavy attack to get 2-4 kills at once. I spent some time with the Morningstar too, and i can see why some people prefer it, but for whatever reason despite being mostly identical the 1h mace seems slightly superior. The pickaxe is also extremely good, never spent any time with it before a fun life where I picked it off a dead body as an officer and ended up getting like 35 tkds. Blunt weapons in general seem to be absolutely top tier when wielded with a little bit of care. The stop on contact thing, which I initially interpreted as a disadvantage, is really just a lateral thing from bladed weapons and not going through people isn’t necessarily problematic. People have a particularly hard time coping with an sideways feint followed by a downward vertical hit, which can get around shields and block the same way a sword/cavalry sword can and it devastates guardians big time The 2h mace and the Warclub are also extremely good for frustrating people with speed they don’t expect. The warclub’s reach, especially, makes it maybe the best weapon in the game for flanking heavy attacks on groups of footmen/knights. I suspect most players consider 1h weapons to be inherently secondary and inferior to their 2h counterparts but in most situations I’d rather have a 1h mace than a greatsword after the last week, and I’m level 250 something with GS as my most-used weapon

if youre fighting 1 person, having your blade continue through them is a disadvantage vs being able to wind up another hit cudgel ambusher is a really funny build too

Fun fact: Cudgel wasn’t always a hit-stop thwack weapon, when the game came out it used to cleave through people like bladed weapons. There’s a pile of bones under the gate bridge in Siege of Rudhelm, the bone you equip from this pile acts just like the old cudgel did. It’s not the best weapon in the game or anything, but it’s still a neat, probably unintended, Easter egg. Haven’t played Rudhelm in months though, no idea if it’s still there today. Stopped because of the gate bug, and also now I found a range of TO maps I enjoy and only play those, Thayic Stronghold to Darkforest has like two hours’ worth of banger maps with no duds in between. Wish Rudhelm was a part of that cycle, but the newest maps kinda take the wind out of my sails, bugs and balance issues maybe, I dunno. I avoid the map cycle from Breach of Baudwyn to Sacking of Bridgetown.

They give others poo poo for using shields, forgetting shields aren't just for blocking - they're a 15-20 damage jab and a 30 damage throwing weapon with interrupt. I don't use shields often but I love it when my enemy dodges out of weapon range only to take a shield to the teeth because they thought they were safe at that distance.

Yeah I’ve been playing a lot of footmen and trying to incorporate shield throws and jabs, mostly for finishing downed enemies. Still haven’t really integrated jab into my play the way I want to Also I’m finding the TO community increasingly enervating, people are just so loving hostile. It’s an unbelievably toxic place in US East AM and it’s quite unpleasant. There are at least five players who recognize my name and go out of the way to gently caress with me the whole match, it’s very odd as I commend everyone and am only lovely to people in return. I guess repeatedly highlighting that someone has 1/3rd my score and calling them a bitch in response perpetuates it but I strongly prefer a friendly environment and chivalry is just overflowing with pimple faced reactionary teens. It is funny how frequently people accuse me of being a basement dwelling virgin, but I guess I just have to turn chat off permanently or something idk. I’m gonna try the other playlists today and see if they’re less horrible
