Boy I sure do love shitty animations, armor clipping, shitty ragdols, lack of gore and slow motion every time you or the enemy attempts to attack

>>16422127

From gameplay vids i saw, it looks stupid and unsatisfying.

It's shit.

>>16422127

there's no actual directional combat.

I still do not understand /v/'s requirement for medieval combat system.

>>16422180

KCD did have directional combat.

>>16422195

>spending a single nanosecond on creating wymyn models of a medieval fighting game

eternal cuckery

>>16422195

I was only laughing at the faggots who want womyn in combat and you start in with this "might" damage control. Fuck sake, if this an actual shill thread I'm not bumping it again.

>>16422186

No, it didn't. You could attack in any direction, sure, but blocking didn't matter. If that's "directional combat" to you, I don't know what to tell you.

>>16422228

Huh? You have directional blocking in KCD too, unless you have a shield.

>retarded monkey thinks he can attack anyone in this thread without making himself look like an insufferable faggot

>>16422251

Sorry, but the only thing that matters is timing. You don't need to change which way you block.

>>16422276

Yes, you do.

I think you are mistaking block with parrying.

>>16422271

Why is Mordhau bad and For Honor good?

>>16422306

See nigger >>16422101

>>16422310

I didn't say it was good, I said the combat system was good. The actual game is garbage due to abhorrent art direction, shitty balance, retarded microtransactions and lack of content

>>16422288

I guess, since that's the only thing I do is parry. I've never done any direcitonal blocking in kingdom come ever

>>16422271

>>retarded monkey thinks he can attack anyone in this thread without making himself look like an insufferable faggot

Looks like you're doing his job for him, ubicuck.

>>16422376

no vc as far as I can tell. You can yell stuff like in chiv though.

>>16422499

It was given for free last year during E3, anon. Without that massive giveway the game would be literally dead by now, less than ~200 players daily. 99% of the playerbase is F2P

You sure you're not talking about Gothic :^)

>>16422642

I haven't seen any spin to winners, and was pretty sure a big part of mordhau's development was that they hated that stuff.

Big con the servers keep crashing and lagging backers say its been doing this for 2 years and devs say it will take a day to fix yeah right

>>16422271

Damn, you're one bitter and angry virgin LMAO

>>16423023

>muh holes!

Tits or gtfo, cumdumpster

How is this compared to Chivalry?

>>16422306

It has amazing combat. It’s everything else that is bad.

>>16423720

Overall better. Combat is faster, draining someone's stamina by attacking their guard eventually disarms them instead of just putting them in a stun state too short to capitalize one for some weapons. It is load-out based, you start with defaults but can customize your equipment and perks from the get go. There are support items you can equip like a medic bag you can throw down that people can grab healing from, a toolbox you can use to place fortifications, a hammer you can use to build and repair certain objects around the maps and a lute that you can play to annoy everyone.

Right now the main problems are that the back-end server that handles your customization and progression is unable to handle the player load. Things you unlock when you're connected to it will still be available to use but otherwise you can't spend/earn gold and you can't level up to unlock new weapons and cosmetics to buy. Server instability extends to the game servers as well with random lag spikes that thankfully affect everyone at the same time. Another problem is that perks and equipment use the same point system, but you can grab enemy weapons and weapons are also scattered around the map meaning you can game the system by loading up on perks and armor and support items then looting the dead. It also takes over many of the bad ideas from chivalry such as dragging and one-handed weapons being able to block two-handed ones without a significant penalty. Some Frontline maps are unbalanced between teams.

I think it's overall worth its price, but I'd recommend waiting until after the developers fix the server issues.

>>16423720

As a faggot who dumped over 1,000 hours of my life into that shit flinging try hard fest, it's vastly more fun. I just wish kicks were a little better since shield fags are extremely annoying to deal with. You'll fall in love with the game when you can play a lute, charge into combat with it and bash it over someone's head. Extremely satisfying combat so far from my experience.

>>16422337

For Honor's combat system is average at best. It's characters are unbalanced as fuck while some of Ubishit's reworks are half assed. Ubisoft blew any potential For Honor had with it's forced diversity and general lack of commitment when it came to frequent updates for a healthy meta. On top of Roman pissing all over the fan base with remarks like "Learn to play deh Lawbringer" when the dumb fuck devs were called out on their sheer disconnection to the actual state of balance of the game.

Biggest problem with For Honor is Ubishit treated it like a disposable quick cash grab, it failed and now most of the devs have moved onto different projects. For Honor will be on life support after the last two heroes are out if it isn't already.

>not listing the coming female patch as a con

They've been saying for the past year that first thing after release they'll be working on is patching women into the game. And I strongly suspect the reason they were so adamant in not having the time to do it pre-release i specifically so it can be shilled on /v/.

I'll probably pick it up when it has linux support like chivalry.

>>16422297

>For Honor

>Simon says combos and blocking

You know how people get REALLY good at For Honor? They remember all character combos, block them successively, and then kick your ass. I remember dueling some of these dudes before, you know how I eventually won? I played Valkyrie and just successively stabbed them in a different direction of the screen each time. They were so shocked, I fucking steam rolled them. Pit that against a game like mount & blade, where combat is organic, and you have to read your opponent in real time and not just remember the Simon says blocking maneuvers. For honor would be a much better game if it wasn't so centralized around combos and bullshit like that.

>>16425371

Hopefully they will fix the servers soon. Also, how do you "test" your servers in beta when you only have access to 1% of the playerbase you'll have on release (not to mention they couldn't know in advance how many would be playing).

As for the armor and the perks I agree completely. Armor feels almost required and the perks are completely lackluster. Despite this, there will always be that one naked guy with 10 perks and a maul that goes 30-2 every match so I don't even know.

If only KCD has this kind of combat i.e. without the lock-on.

>>16425392

If you're very, very good at positioning and mixups you can wreck with dodge+big weapon. Otherwise you need armor because the moment you make a mistake you get your head caved in/cut off. I get that realism is one of the goals here but letting heavy weapons oneshot unarmored dudes on body hits is a bit much,

>>16424809

did you play the tutorial?

try playing a support/backup kinda character if it isnt working, use a spear and poke at enemies your friends are already fighting.

I hope I'm not alone when I say I think its kind of bullshit how all the melee combat is slowed down to be manageable for a video game, yet the archers rapid fire like they do in every other medieval game

>>16424809

>start playing game

>suck at game

>flee to online forum for validation

Seriously nigger? Being crushed at a game when I first start playing it is a good sign, it usually means there is a modicum of actual skill involved.

>>16425455

The combat is supposed to be faster when you're fighting someone who is good, but ironically that seems to be predicated on the other player chambering and parrying your attacks so you can attack again faster.

>>16425519

Swings for weapons are incredibly slow comparative to the real deal though, which is a good thing because there's a somewhat simple input method between the player and the character's action, as opposed to just moving your body. But the archers actually fire faster than archers could.

>>16424838

Being able to delay your strike really is not the issue, but the implementation is retarded. If it were hold/release you could just charge your attack to fake out opponents. Having charged strikes do more damage and stamina damage when blocked would also punish overly defensive play which currently seems to be the best way do things currently.

So how's the combat compared to Mount&Blade? Is it something similar, or just tf2 tier running and stabbing?

>>16422150

oh no it's retarded

>>16422271

For Honor is entirely shit. Your taste is shit. You are shit. Fuck off ubicuck.

>>16425416

>they're still defending ubishit

lol

>>16425455

Honestly why do these games always need fucking archers? It's like how so many FPS games include snipers even though they shit on game balance and encourage cheaters.

>>16425556

You don't really have directional blocking, you still need to face your opponent's attack to parry it but it doesn't change the animation. However you are much more mobile than in Mount&Blade since you have a sprint button and I think I've seen guys just running around opponents spamming side swings which definitely feels like Scout vs. Heavy tomfoolery. It is still uncracked as far as I can see but the tutorial is pretty in-depth so it might be worth buying then refunding it if you don't like it. Could also see if someone wants to do family sharing, I think you get game access for 24 hours with that even if the other person immediately revokes the share.

That being said I didn't see any mention of DRM though I didn't read the EULA. If it is Steam DRM the only think keeping it from being cracked is lack of scene interest.

>>16425581

Scene has no interest due it being online-focused and have stuff locked behind sever-side progression system, which is also bugged.

>>16425586

It has LAN, and since you keep access to things you unlock even when the back-end goes down all your unlocks and level are probably stored locally. I have a feeling it is more that it won't build their reputation so it is not worth their time.

>>16425539

Yeah, that always bugs me. War of the Roses did archery in a cool way, but the rest of the game was mostly unplayable with the combination of terrible netcode and extremely specific hit zones with certain weapons like halberds. This made giant two handed swords the weapon of choice, much like noobs in Mount&Blade, because that weapon has the widest "deadly strike" hit zone. Hitting those halberd strikes was satisfying because you'd annihilate a guy in full plate, but it was just not doable.

>>16425580

Archers do add a significant amount of variation to the combat and teamplay. The problem with the Mordhau devs is that they are former Chivalry devs/players who, in turn, are former FPS devs/players. So when they design the archery they think "I'm not going to make the archery shitty like in M&B, I'm going to make it like Quake or CS because I'm familiar with that and it feels good," not realizing that modelling anything after fucking classic FPS mechanics is going to make it overpowered in a game without bounce pads, bunny hopping, and where over half the players don't have ranged weapons.

>>16425624

Archery is fine. You can't quickshot unless you're legitimately good and any player who is aware you're shooting at them can deflect your shots, walk up, and slice you in half.

Archers have a stronger role in big team battles, but that's entirely the point.

>>16425416

>this smells like bullshit

Then unblock your nose fam.

>Remembering combos can help, but you can faint and change attack angle mid combo. You can also guard break. Good players will do this, not just remember combos.

This doesn't help against someone good enough with the scheme. The same could be said for mount and blade, but with only 3 directions to attack anyway the skill ceiling feels a lot lower. Plus that guy with the flail can't feint at all. Coupled with the awful netcode, feints and shit like that are fuck-hard to do.

>I played Valkyrie and just successively stabbed them in a different direction of the screen each time

>How? By running away?

Read this again:

>I played Valkyrie and just successively stabbed them in a different direction of the screen each time

Clear?

>Unblockable swings and pushes

Oh dear. Anyone who doesn't use the stabby stabby light attack routine on Valk is a fucking plebeian. It's probably the only thing that throws off people who have acquainted themselves with the game and works consistently outside of intelligent opponents.

Anyway, I'm more interested in Mordhau to be quite honest and not just For Honor, which as far as I'm concerned is a combo-centric shitter.

>>16425632

Being good at the game is one thing, but there's a difference between that and being unstoppable once you are good enough. Take a look at Trix's videos on YouTube. You shouldn't be able to headshot people at point-blank easily -- that's PVK type shit, and doesn't make physical sense since the arrow hasn't had time to gain all its momentum.

>>16425990

>throw

*through.

Is this game actually worth the money?

SHould I just go back to dark souls?

>>16425990

>he only uses a sword to cut

Get a load of this cunt.

>>16426014

Its not worth the money. Already got a refund

>>16426007

>>16425990

The games name, Mordhau, literally means "murder stroke" in German and the term is directly lifted from German longsword manuals. The mordhau is indeed the inverted half-sword strike with the hilt.

>>16426063

>Murder Stroke

Now that's a special move name. Fuckin' Murder Stroke.

>play game

>have a bit of fun

>enter a match where half of both teams are naked people wearing nothing but helmets and using zweihanders

>continuously running into fights and spinning

>when they get hurt, they run away and spam attack because their swing does full damage to people behind them if they twist slightly

>archers shoot arrows like they're using M16 rifles and can switch to melee and attack in under half a second

Refunded this shit immediately, it's going to die faster than Chivalry. I'd rather play War of the Roses than this shit. I'd say let me know when it's actually good so I can check into it again, but some of you faggots actually like this shit, so I wouldn't trust you. Horse combat was fun though, but everyone just teamkills each other over the horse. I watched someone get on the horse, and another faggot blocked the pen so he couldn't get out, so the rider just cut the horse in the back of the neck until it died.

>>16425632

I have less an issue with the strength of bows and more the rate of fire.

Also, does the longbow do more damage than a crossbow? The ability to keep moving while you reload is already a big advantage, especially in archer fights. Making the slower, more cumbersome weapon that is historically capable of doing more damage the weaker option is silly.

>>16426328

Carry some throwing knives. If they get hurt and they're unarmored like you say, one knife in the back should kill them. Axes deal more damage, but have less range, so that might be the better choice.

For archers, try and hit them when they still have the bow, it'll disarm them. In addition, they'll always have some shitty dagger or low reach weapon, so you should be able to outmaneuver them.

>>16425586

It's already been cracked by Plaza. I don't think it has online though, I haven't tried it.

Anyone got a server up? It'd be pretty fun to have a non official game night.

>>16423023

>Big con the servers keep crashing and lagging backers say its been doing this for 2 years

Backer here you're full of shit.

>>16426328

use throwing weapons and a shield if you're new. I cut down rabble like a peasant in a wheatfield but every now and then I get a shielder holding me back long enough for his team to back him up. Also archer in close range is free kills.

>>16426216

Why is it always the people who haven't played the game who make the strongest statements? All these people in the thread who are playing and talking about how it's an incremental improvement over Chiv, and this turbo retard who obviously hasn't played declares it's a clone.

If you're so desperate to be contrarian you could at least buy and refund the game like >>16426328. This way you will be talking about something you actually experienced.

HEY Mordhau shills, sell me this game. Tell me stuff that OP didn't.

Is it basically Chivalry Medieval warfare but with horses or what?

What kind of features are there and are they fun and worth my time?

Is the game worth the nearly 30 bucks?

>>16426490

>heard the servers are fucked and the only reliable game mode now is battle royale shit

Servers *are* fucked but it's mostly the opposite, small servers work the best due to lower overhead, so deathmatch/skirmish/etc all work great. You just can't unlock anything atm so you'll be using the default classes which is honestly fine.

Maces and hammers are fun, they wreck shit against heavy armor which most people use, plus the visual/audio feedback is great--you can explode heads and crush bones on killing blows.

>>16426128

It's actually a very generic name in the original German. Other common sword strikes include Krumphau or crooked stroke (or cut, hew, whatever -- it is interpreted several ways and I chose stroke because it is the coolest) and Mittelhau or middle stroke. Look up Johannes Liechtenauer if you are interested.

>it's another Mordhau shill thread, again

These consistently die after a hundred replies, get a hint. You're not gonna make anyone buy it, everyone has seen this shit thread 10 times already.

This game has completely unrealistic armour and weapons that behave as RPG stat items, i.e. metal armour blocks a couple of points of damage, mace deals 1 point more damage than a sword. Parries require nothing but timing, it's several frames of complete invulnerability with no regard to what's actually going on. Players have HP. Got hit on an uncovered head with a mace? Still got some HP left.

F2P levels of grind.

Cash shop.

Avoid.

>>16426568

While I don't disagree that the attacks are not momentum-based like in M&B or War of the Roses, the main improvement over Chivalry that Mordhau is supposed to have is the removal of the complete chickenshit tactics such as spinning your camera to make your attack hit wider or, if you're good, make one attack hit the same person multiple times. The Chivalry devs refused to implement these fixes, instead choosing to implement fucking hats and banners, so it makes sense that devs broke off and made a new game. Now I haven't played the game yet so I don't know if it lives up to fixing those issues, but that is what I was hoping for.

>>16426713

I know a video game that has realistic armour and weapons with no invulnerability. I also know a game that has all these unrealistic things and more, such as magic, which makes it more interesting. I see no point in playing something that looks like it's supposed to be realistic but is really just about swinging wildly inbetween invilnerability frames.

>>16426675

I agree with you on the idea that weapons such as sword should do almost zero damage if they are swinging the blade intending to do cut damage onto plate armor. Sword vs plate should be intended as blunt attacks IF you aren't attempting to stab through chainmail under the armpit, under the hauberk, or under the neck chainmail, which is what historic combat was all about, not "slashing" plate armor 5 times to kill someone. I am happy that they use mordhau stance and give higher damage vs plate. But they could have done slightly better, like giving stab bonus to under armpit regions and making plate OP vs slash.

Blunt/pollaxe weapons are pretty strong against plate which is good, but I disagree with damage of two handed swords vs plate. People swing horizontally and hit 2 people at once, and can take down fully plated men in two hits.

I also agree that parries (right click blocking) should be about 3x more difficult to succeed because stopping an attack requires immense stamina and correct angles, which none are required now. I can stay alive in 1v2's because I just spam right click.

Chambering is amazing, I love chambering stabs. This game just makes me want to do real medieval sparring more because the actual combat is very fun/skillful.

>>16426490

>mfw berrypicker tries to impersonate Gronk

You stupid

>>16426835

Gold and exp are fixed as of 2 hours ago. Be at ease.

Hey I bought this game and I've been monitoring the discord since release. I want to say the game is basically a better version of Chivalry. It's really fun but it had a very rocky release with several launch issues like not being able to get gold/XP after a match. I bought the game the day after release and I only failed to get xp/gold 3/20 matches. There was some lag and performance issues that were serverside, the game is fairly well optimized and only really chugs when I walk into a smoke bomb cloud but I'm playing on a laptop. The only complaint I have is that there are only 6 maps, the game definitely needs more maps to add variety. It's much cheaper than a regular game and for the price it's definitely worth it.

Also the level of grind is exaggerated since it's only cosmetics you need to reach the highest levels to unlock.

>>16427425

It's the most realistic medieval combat simulator to date you say?

>>16427426

The sword fighting feels better than chivalry. I wouldn't call it a 'realistic' game. It's more realistic than sekiro and chivalry I guess. You can still pull ballerina style 'pretend to run away then turn around and stab'. But the silly REAP THE WHIRLWIND deathdancing spinning windmill technique is impossible or much harder.

>>16427426

War of the roses is probably the most realistic but that game is dead as a dodo.

>>16426328

My experience is completely the opposite archers get the bow knocked out their hands and wrecked so quickly that it could be measured in matrix bullet time. The naked zweihander users are easy to kill, zweihander is slow as fuck learn to parry or use a shield.

>>16427456

Parajew killed that game in more ways than one with their stupid bullshit, I'm so glad the roaches at Taleworlds left that sinking nigger cum stained Sweden boat.

At least Fatshark didn't die and found some success, unfortunately they're also Swedes so if that place that doesn't get to them the Chinks at Tencent they're making deals with, will.

>>16422190

>>16422195

Fuck this gay game then, women should never be anywhere near this or any fighting game

Actually the way the game works currently 1v1 duels are quite long or really short if you mess up and fail a parry or block. It's extremely funny when it happens to you though. Like I remember a guy trying to kick me but missing so I just belted him in the face with my massive two hander beheading him. The best tactic is definitely nigging people from the side or switching targets suddenly and stabbing your friend's opponent. It feels fun to play and the game isn't too expensive. People should give it a try if you liked chivalry but hated the bullshit exploits.

The launch issues with XP/Gold are fixed now by the way.

>it's another /v/ shits on games they haven't played thread

I bought it on release and have been enjoying it immensely. The gameplay feels extremely fluid and good. The gore is fantastic and super satisfying. My only real complaints are pretty minor things which mostly come down to polish.

Obviously, the servers don't work right now. Hardly even worth mentioning, but it's a thing.

The poorly designed lobby system which connects you to servers without enough spots for everyone for some reason and also just works poorly in general is bad. The servers in general are shitting themselves, yes, but if designed properly this should work regardless.

The frontline respawning is retarded. Why do you have to click left click, then either click on the map or click enter to respawn? Doesn't seem rebindable either. 95% of the time you want the most forward spawn anyway. You shouldn't have to move your hand to respawn quickly, make it e or space or something instead.

Respawning in general is dumb. Why click to respawn? What is the point? Just respawn automatically.

Horde mode is stupid. Cheesing it is absolutely required and that makes it unfun. Optimal play should be what looks and feels the coolest imo.

I would like kicks to be buffed slightly. Right now you can't kick someone who's just holding their shield up while walking backwards and that feels bad, it should have a proper counterplay. A slight amount of movement while kicking would help. I'd also like to be able to kick while jumping. I get that a bunch of people running around flykicking each other all the time doesn't fit stylistically with what they're going for, but this game is all about flow and being able to do everything it feels like you can do. Kicking while jumping feels like a natural part of that. I'd be all for it having all kinds of drawbacks like maybe ragdolling entirely if you get hit or blocked while doing it, maybe even if you just whiff it, but I still think you should have the option to.

All in all, though, this game is a ridiculous amount of fun and the base combat works super well. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who loves the essence of Chivalry but feel let down by the shit devs. It's great.

>>16428363

>/v/ shits on games

I suppose that's an idea you'd get, being this new and all.

>>16428363

Agreed with most of your post. Kicks in particular feel a bit underpowered and slow, which in turn makes shields feel too strong.

The spawning controls are a bit finicky and hopefully they tweak them; however auto-spawning is not a solution. Common scenario: you die, and as you look at the map you see that your team is capturing a new location. You wait 5 seconds for them to finish and respawn at that position.

Thanks for chiming in, 4um. Has there been another exodus?

>>16428513

you get 2500 gold for completing the tutorial, which was surprisingly entertaining.

I think most weapons cost 300-500 gold? I just got done with a match that netted me 320 gold, which isnt uncommon. The most expensive stuff in the game are cosmetics and those are purely for prestige.

Perks are free but fit into the budget you get for each mercenary. No picking all the best perk AND heavy armour.

>>16428515

They probably keep coming because of City of Heroes private server thread, some anon couldn't help but namedrop us in 4um's dickord. That and cuckchan's tripfag degenerate wanted link to 8ch.

I've waited for this game for a long time and it doesn't disappoint. The server and gold/XP issues sucked but they seem actually fixed now. I love the game and I love that people don't get banned for saying "nigger" or other no-no words. I think this is the closest that I've played of a game allowing you to play against an opponent without playing against the game, if you know what I mean. You have so many more tools now than you did in chivalry, and I love utilizing them all to trip up my opponents. Also I'm glad that they are pretty generous with progression so it isn't too much of a grind (when it works). Very fun, a lot of people in the thread are bitching because they are either bad or haven't played it (and a rare few with actual legitimate complaints). Anons should at least give this game a fair shake and learn it before writing it off

>>16428952

You should generally mix it up and avoid patterns as well as you can. Unless someone has some chiv experience they will likely fuck up some parties in there which will allow you some hits.

>>16428952

What >>16428983 said. If you riposte right off the back expect it to get parried, an opponent is usually most attentive at the beginning of the fight. Lull your opponent into a rhythm then break the rhythm to catch them by surprise.

Chivalry with better graphics.

>>16422022 (OP)

The balls on these guys. So from what I have heard some of these guys used to play chivalry and made mods for it. They basically come together and create a better version of chivalry.

When chivalry:mw came out I had huge respect for the devs because they tried someone new and added free updates to their game. But then they started to turn into jews. They added microtransactions, they added a basically broken dlc and never patched it and then they even made a totally new game that sucked even more dick. That said I did enjoy mirage to a point. They also talked bullshit about another chivalry game being not possible and ue4 being cancer.

The mordhau team goes out and makes a better version of a already good game. I have huge respect for these guys and I hope they don't fuck it up by adding too much dlc like overkill did with payday.

>>16429440

They had/have an FAQ on their website and I want to say that it says they have no plans for microtransactions as of right now

>>16422642

>removing dragging

>a core mechanic of the game

Dragging still exists, but it's not the broken mess of backwards overheads zweihanders and no rate limit on turning spin2win from Chivalry though.

You can play MIDI file music on the Lute with one exe. Its broken currently but mostly still works. Have to bind tofgle console to something other than ~ and move M team change to another key. Tried some random 14th century midi music, its ok but man some songs on youtube are good. You have to filter out tracks in the midi file sometimes, and hotkey songs are broken. Too much of a hassle.

Today I got bored of the lack of organized, chaotic and unsocial combat. Hopefuly organized group battles will be fun.

female knights in yet?

what about afrikangs can a i make a based black Lancelot to cuck arthur

>>16425361

Yeah, I ended up doing this without even seeing your post, so I guess I'm on the right track. I've noticed there's a few simple tactical things to keep in mind, like moving in circles or morphing frequently that help immensely.

>>16425455

Surprisingly, yes, I didn't skip the tutorial like a dumbfuck. I'm generally just not that skilled at vidya or anything, really so knowing how to do shit doesn't help if you can't really execute.

>>16425514

I was under the impression everyone had been playing it for the first time, too, but it turns out a lot are from alpha/beta/whatever. That makes me feel a little bit less shitty. A little.

>>16425990

I wonder if they're going to add shit like dual wielding, or at least parrying daggers. I'd accept the latter, but I could see redditor niggers whining to have MUH DUAL SWORDS LIKE THIS ONE EXTREMELY RARE CASE

>>16428513

You get all 3 tiers of armor off the bat, and weapons are 300-500 gold. That's everything you need to make characters. Thus, gold is basically only used for cosmetics, and you get 2,500 from playing the tutorial.

>>16428159

in m&b speed is a damage multiplier of all of your weapons damage types so if your velocity towards a target is negative you'll get a damage penalty but if its positive you'll get a bonus that scales to the speed

also longer weapons have longer reach but they become less effective after your enemy gets close enough so for instance a polearm would be useless against an enemy thats hugging you but a dagger would be great

Why does she have her shield on the left hand if that's also her sword hand?

>>16430960

The artist had no idea of how swords actually work. Just appreciate the tits.

>>16430960

from another perspective, the shield will block her ass, but the sword won't as much

>>16430960

you can draw shorter swords from your right side, this was standard issue among the roman legions to avoid the thing getting tangled up in shit. Longer european swords had to adjust their fashion sense to have the left side overlap the right on shirts to avoid crossguards getting stuck on buttoned shirts.

Literally everything is good apart from the servers and while I like the customization I wish it was a little less gay. Pretty sure it's mostly cosmetic but it's an online game and you have to pay in-game money to git gud basically. At least there are no micro-transactions.

>faggots rewrite history

>"haha y u mad tho u get 2 beat up women"

People are "mad" because they aren't particularly keen on the idea of feminism seeping into yet another thing. You're either astoundingly stupid or a shill.

>>16432142

>>faggots rewrite history

It's not rewriting history, this isn't a realistic game based on real events. If it were based on wars between France, Germany and England sure but this is all fictional.

>>16432121

No, you are absolutely correct. The trail is incredibly misleading, and the ballista bolt travels fast as fuck. It is really best used at short or AT MOST medium range from what I can tell, and also is best again lightly armored targets. Vague testing has shown it does like 20-30 damage to heavy armor, but straight up 70-100 damage on archers and lightly armored swordsmen. If you can get elevated and protected, firing down at short range is the best option. Also disregard archers/crossbows as it is nearly impossible to effectively hit someone on an engy ballista with an arrow, especially from even 20 degrees lower than them.

>>16432142

I understand your point, but think it boils down to personal preference in this case. Historical accuracy is important, but only to a point. I would prefer that they didn't include women, as it is unrealistic and silly for the timeperiod, but considering there is no story and it is a pure arena fightan game, just putting females in wouldn't take me out of the fun too badly. When it is done in something like Rome Total War where you can have female generals, or straight up black female nazis in whatever game that was, THAT is too far removed from reality that it becomes jarring and actually pulls me out of the action. But I don't think it'll be too bothersome here, though again, I can see where you're coming from with 'there's literally no reason they should be here so why do it'. I agree, but just not as bothered if they ignore that logic I guess in this specific scenario.

It needs more maps

Lol are you low test soyboys getting mad over gurrrls in Mordhau? Tbh i havent seen one in game so i dunno if its even true.

Anyway, you autists need to fuck off. Mutilating female npcs is boner inducing to me so dont ruin this shit with m-muh realism

thanks for the tips and for confirming my suspicions.

Also, is it just me or is there basically no reason to use the estoc over the longsword? the increase in thrust damage doesn't seem worth it at all.

>>16432142

But the game isn't claiming to be depicting history. There's no story mode, it's not having you reenact any historical battles. Adding women isn't an issue. This ain't Battlefield V where they're trying to tell you that there was a transgender amputee stronk black womyn in WW2.

>>16433545

screeching voice as annoying you stupid nigger lover

I'm about to start this game fresh, Is it smart to spend all the tutorial money on armour and just pick up weapons on the battlefield?

>>16433837

You get a basic piece of every category of armor and all of the really cool cosmetic pieces require leveling up to unlock. Spend your starting money on equipment, buy things that the defaults can't give you, I highly recommend the medic bag as you can throw that shit down and get hundreds of points from people retreating and healing near a choke point. The wooden mallet is not worth purchasing, any place you'll need it you'll find one lying nearby but when you get a few levels in the Blacksmith Hammer is a massive upgrade when it comes to building shit. Finally, watch put for equipping any sort of bow, crossbow included, on a loadout as the Huntsman perk is on the default archer class and that gives such a huge damage bonus they can one-shot you even through heavy armor.

>>16433837

>Is it smart to spend all the tutorial money on armour and just pick up weapons on the battlefield?

absolutely, even if you have the money you are more restricted on points. put on lvl 3 body armor and a lvl 2 helmet, buy some perks like bloodlust and a cheap weapon, stab some nigger in the back loot his zweihander/poleaxe and swing away.

>>16428363

>I would like kicks to be buffed slightly. Right now you can't kick someone who's just holding their shield up while walking backwards and that feels bad, it should have a proper counterplay.

If you kick a shield in real life then your not going to be doing much against the guy with the shield….

>I'd also like to be able to kick while jumping.

This would be awesome.

>>16434138

in real life there are a number of ways of getting around shields not available to us in this clunky virtual space.

side note; does anyone else think swords should be doing less damage on tier3 armour? historically the cutting edge on swords does fuck all against plate and right now there isnt much of a reason to switch to the mordhau most of the time. it seems to me the reach trade-off isnt worth the damage gain since swords can already do so much damage.

>>16434093

You suck nigger trap cock you little faggit.

>glitched out in the tutorial

Time to uninstall I guess.

I recommend using the longbow if you plan on going bow. Its great and it does alot of damage.

>Set up a duel server, now consistently full

>Apart from the occasional bugman, everyone plays nicely

>Full of god-tier players I can barely land a hit on, always last on own server

How do I get good at this 1:1? I can't seem to get beyond a strike-block slugfest until I make a fatal mistake or someone who knows feints and drags destroys me. It doesn't seem possible to practice anything in public chaos zergfests but in duels I am getting destroyed a bit too quickly to learn any technique. I'm not even sure what skill to prioritise.

>>16435271

Try doing what they do, also move around a lot. A lot of the game is moving backwards and forwards and around them in order to hit a good spot.

Learn feinting and use morph attacks, kick if need be just don't be a nigger. Most of the game is just timing and reactions. Play against bots for a little bit maybe.

>>16435271

chivalry was released in 2012. Many mordhau players used to play it back then. You are simply to late to the party.

>>16435140

>>16435119

It's not worth getting because it's already being cucked by SJW devs

>>16433545

Adding women is a bigger issue in a game that revolves around hand to hand combat. Its one thing to shoot a gun at someone in the distnace. But up close a woman would easily by physically overpowered.

They probably wouldnt be able to reload a crossbow. Or effectively draw a bow unless it was a very small one.

i would post pics but steam doesnt fucking let me take screenshots

>>16434138

Kicking is already the counterplay to shields. It's less punishing than it was in Chiv, but you get a free hit if you kick someone who's blocking. The problem is the kick range is absolutely pitiful, so you can't hit someone who's blocking and walking backwards. Shields are pretty strong right now, but I'm generally more of a fan of giving strong things a counterplay than just straight up nerfing them.

>>16435119

Very worth. It's not very expensive anyway, so what's the worst that can happen?

It may or may not be your niche, that's on you to figure out, but there is one thing this game does very very right that most modern games don't seem to. It's very clear the developers of this game set out to make a fun game as their number one goal. Something they themselves would like to play. There's no bells and whistles or skinner boxes to try to sell it to more people or whatever. It isn't a product they're trying to sell to make money, it's a game made for its own sake. I admire that greatly.

mordhau or europa universalis 4?

>>16435941

This game is not in early access. It was kickstarted, and backers had access to early builds, but there was no way to buy it after the kickstarter. This is the full release. If anything, it's one of the few successful kickstarter games working out the way they're supposed to.

>>16435661

a man the same size with no training could probably kick her ass though.

>>16436247

In what respect? The games are so completely different it almost bars comparison. The only similarity is they're both medieval-ish video games, otherwise they're worlds apart.

>>16436269

I've got about thirty bucks until next payday. Wondering what'd be more value. Seems like it'd be Mordhau because EU4 needs DLC, but I could just go to G2A for that.

>>16436247

they are both shit

>>16436277

If money is an issue, I'd go with Mordhau due to it being entirely multilayer and all. EU you could pirate with no problems.

As for mileage, it depends. If swordfighting autism is your kind of thing, you could put 1000s of hours into it, but if it isn't, it'll still be a fun thing to do. You'll just play it until you get bored or whatever. For GSG, the way I understand it, you typically either get barely any time at all in because you don't get it, or you spend hundreds of hours in it. If you know you like them, that's probably the safer bet. If not, I'd go with Mordhau.

>>16436277

>paying for a paradox game

jesus anon, don't do that. Pirate EU4 and buy Mordhau after pirating that too, testing it out on a local game would probably be a good idea to see if you like it.

>>16435478

Try editing the ini?

>>16435271

So far, I think nearly every technique has its place, work on incorporating one at a time until you can cycle them out on the fly. Establish a rhythm then break the rhythm, faint early one trade and then do a delayed faint for instance, then go to a morph to a dragged wing or riposte or something. The best thing you can do is constantly change it up. And if you can land them, kicking their block will usually let you get a free stab on their head.

>>16436360

>>16435323

Thanks, am trying to incorporate things. Had some success - then, shieldniggers struck. Is there any counter to shields other than kicking? As someone else noted, it is extremely difficult to connect a kick on an enemy who is moving away or weaving about, and if you are using a polearm or longer sword where you need some distance it seems you face an insurmountable disadvantage.

Another issue I found was being spammed with rapier thrusts when you have a much slower weapon like a maul or halberd. It's not possible to get the weapon up in between blocks fast enough to strike without the rapier interrupting and hitting. Maybe chambering is the only counter, but it doesn't seem slow weapons can react fast enough to do it…

I also came across (and banned) a suspected hacker/bot user already. He was instantly blocking all attacks with a rapier, including ones from directly behind when he was standing around unawares, confirmed by me fighting him and my spectating another guy who noticed him too. I'm pretty sure this isn't possible with any legit play? Otherwise things are pretty broken. Although if a bot can do this it suggests the mechanics are not as sound as they supposedly are.

>>16436532

I usually use a halberd, and that is pretty slow and I do not have problems chambering the rapiers. You can always just knock a shield users stamina down but that usually takes too long, so I stick with kicks. Just walk up close and push them into a wall or wait for them to be coming towards you and then kick. Kick could definitely use just a bit of movement because it is a pain to handle the really defensive players. If you have a longer weapon you can always try to angle your swings to hit the shield fags in the back/lower body although I haven't been able to do this reliably.

I don't know about the cheater, I haven't seen anything like that and would have to see it myself.

>>16436532

>Is there any counter to shields other than kicking?

You can try an overhead slash and jumping as it can hit the head despite his shield being up. Same for swings from the side wrapping around the shield if you hit while stepping around him. Other than that every hit blocked by the shield takes quite a bit of stamina and eventually he will drop it and the weapon right after.

>>16436532

Also I just played a game and not sure if it is my imagination or not, but axes might do extra stamina drain to shields

>>16422276

>>16422363

Yeah I am pretty sure you are confusing parrying with blocking without a shield. I honestly don't care to much about the directional combat myself because mass combat is the game's biggest flaw since everyone breaks out into immersion breaking duel fests.

>>16436564

>Venus and Serena Williams had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager". The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park, after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two shandies. With a broken wrist and a badly sprained ankle following a bar brawl, He first took on Serena and after leading 5--0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2. Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance". He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun".

Absolutely fucking savage.

Throwing shit and seeing it stick out of people’s heads is genuinely the funniest shit I’ve seen in a while

>>16436704

I don't know, I haven't played the game in a good while. All I remember is that in combat I never had to make sure the direction things were in the correct direction of the strike when parrying/blocking/whatever, without a shield. I'm not certain I'd call having to turn in the right direction when using a shield directional combat, but sure. What I did was the higher level strat, anyways, since if you time it perfectly (and you grinded up your sword skill) you could just master stroke almost every time for free damage (another thing that makes deliverance have shitty combat, btw, but that's another story).

Kick needs and buff and I'd love it if there was a grab button so I could get shields out of the way and wrestle dexfags up close. By the way does anyone find it odd how there's no shield bash either? Hestly the game could use a lot more options in combat with them considering their shields basically nulify half the game mechanics.

>>16437356

>By the way does anyone find it odd how there's no shield bash either? Hestly the game could use a lot more options in combat with them considering their shields basically nulify half the game mechanics.

I agree that shields are annoying to deal with. Chivalry had a slightly faster kick so maybe that would help the game?

>>16438394

i've done a few perks, full armor and no weapon then just pick up whatever since people are dying all over the place.

>>16441174

This, swings are natural movement.

A jab is actually an awkward movement.

How much would my multiplayer M&B experience help me on this game? Reading through the thread it sounds remarkably similar

From what I'm hearing, spears are awful in this game. Real shame since they're my favorite. I don't know why it's nearly impossible for devs to implement them properly considering they're one of the simplest weapons in existence by design.

At the very least, are polearms good? I don't just mean basic bitch halberds, I'm talking bills, voulges, war scythes, fauchards, etc. Most devs don't give a shit about spears so I wouldn't expect spontoons or ranseurs, but tell me polearms aren't entirely shitty.

>>16441640

Not sure where you've been listening. People bitch about spears all the time. The short spear and shield combo is particularly strong, which makes sense if you think historically.

As for other polearms, they're pretty decent. Billhooks are particularly interesting. They're the only weapon that can drag people off horses, and they have negative knockback; they draw enemies towards you when you hit them which is super nice for team fights.

How long until the game becomes "no fun allowed"?

>>16441229

Both wepons are jab and swing weapons, what are we even discussing. Plus spears are more badass more often than not.

The thing is, one is more suited than the other for jabbing or stabbing

>>16441229

>How the fuck would jabbing with a spear or sword be a slower movement ? Are you guys out of your mind ?

Just try it and see for yourself.

A jab is an awkward movement.

>>16441684

Also, a spear jab isn't as awkward because the spear has way longer handle, unlike the sword.

What's the fucking point of wearing light armor for speed if any random faggot with an eveningstar and full plate can instantly catch up to you when you try to run away?

>>16441707

The point is to not run away you autismo. Stand and fight. The speed makes a difference for short retreats and when you're actually moving around in fights where the speed increase is huge for your maneuverability. You're never supposed to straight up run away, though.

>>16441707

The speed difference is slightly misunderstood because sprinting isn't instantaneous. It takes time from pressing and holding sprint to build to your max speed. Without armor, your MAXIMUM sprint speed is greater than that of a heavy plate user, but if you turn around in a fight and try running and the opponent is already running at you with a long-reaching weapon, they'll catch up and smack you before you can get away. Getting hit resets your sprint, slowing you down, and they smack you again to death. If you want to run from a fight, you have to do it before people get to you, not 'oh shit I'm losing better run' unless you've got people on your own team to run around and hide behind.

Is there anything more satisfying than blasting a horse and its rider with a ballista, pinning them to a wall?

>>16441707

You can do any of these things:

1. Fake him out into defending before trying to run

2. Use the "Dodge" perk

3. Use the "Rush" perk

4. Just kick him and then run

I have a Norse berserker character with a war axe, fire bomb and leather chest armor with nothing else, and people always have problems trying to hit me. It's surprisingly fun with the last stand perk, you'd be surprised how bad people are at blocking fist attacks and go into a "oh shit hes in last stand better do nothing but parry ineffectually" panic state. Nothing outrageous like >>16441725 said but I still get a 2 to 1 KDR consistently and it's not standing around waiting for people to walk into dots while avoiding arrows.

>>16441964

>>16441684

Thrusts are faster than swings in real life, as they are in the game. It's a shorter and simpler movement. Swings involve a circular arc of motion, thrusts are a straight line. The disadvantage of thrusts is their limited range of motion can make them easy to predict and swings can catch your opponent from strange angles. Swings also have a bigger potential for damage thanks to torque.

>>16441964

It's a multiplayer focused game from the ground up. There are bots and a horde mode, though. So I guess it's like Chivalry or Unreal Tournament.

>>16441986

>>16441980

oh, ok. so the only single player is just playing multiplayer game modes with bots?

Why are spears 10 points? They have half the range they should, and they're slow as fuck. You can't even throw them. Should I just swap weapons and never look back?

>>16442049

They're as long as the longest weapon in the game, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. The most effective strategy is to stand "second rank" and dip in for stabs when your front liners are keeping them occupied. Just know that it will earn you allchat ire.

>just throw an 8 foot pole lmao

No.

>>16437315

I just did the tutorial quest on a new play through. You have directional blocking IF you're not using a shield.

>>16442131

There is no directional blocking. You have to look at the incoming weapon to block it. Like, place your crosshair on it. This is even more obvious when you look at the advanced stat block for weapons and realize everything has "block view tolerances." All the shield does is give you a really wide blocking angle, and kite shields allow you to hold down the button to continuously block.

>>16435708

Russia does something similar (not just wasting hostage but accepting it if some hostages are killed in the process of killing/capturing the hostage takers), but it's pretty effective at preventing hostage situations if people know that taking hostages won't help them.

I like it significantly more than Chivalry. Way more customization, fighting feels way more fluid. The only big combat difference I noticed is that Crossbows only do like 75 damage tops, whereas in Chivarly they 1 shot p much all the time. maybe theres a stronger vers I just havent found yet.

I main Executioner Sword anyways. Zweihander OP

>ability to toggle non-realistic cosmetic elements client-side

… thats actually a really clever idea

>>16426686

>F2P

literally you'd need is unlocked at the beginning, the only thing you buy is cosmetics and that shit can be bought within 2 matches tops, no matter how bad you are

Spears are also really good at knocking people off of horses, as long as you can time it properly.

>shitty weak dumb peasants

>chads

Knights were literally peak testosterone and killing machines. Not only professional swordsmen and horse riders, but also excellent wrestlers and hunters. Peasants were no match even for the average 14 year old trained nomble

Is there any advantage to taking the peasant perk?

>>16442658

You get peasant exclusive weapons like the scythe and the shovel. Its more of a meme by the scythe is fucking cool.

>>16442658

I've seen dudes running around with Scythes so I think it unlocks "peasant" weapons. maybe an achievement or two too. I've died multiple times to the Scythe…

Also side note, One thing I'd change to improve the game: Faster Kicks.

rapier/zweihander are OP but its not broken. I've tried the rapier and found the same success as my executioner. Rapier/Short Sword/Dagger players are swifty bastards arent they

>>16442682

>>16442720

OH WAIT I FORGOT

Here's what I'd ACTUALLY change to fix the game:

If I die while the swing is already half done, the attack should follow through post-death. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

>>16442720

Nah it just has too much damage against armor dude. I don't even mind the speed. The Zweihander is slow as shit, but the range can be deceiving at times, as you can see in >>16442716 when I went for the stab and chambered, I thought his stab was going to whiff, and when I tried to parry even though he had missed the swing.

>>16442645

>le all knights were peak warriors meme

Just like today many knighthoods were purchased, or gained because the knights father knows a guy who knows a guy. The nobility were also prone to irrational displays of status. Many nobles actually had a shit diet because they ate based on status, which means eating sugary foods all the time in an era without toothpaste. Ancient physicians actually had a term for diabetes: it was the "honey disease" because the urine of the diabetic tastes sweet due to undigested sugar. To a certain extent, the "chad peasant" is a reality, but not for many knights who did actually earn their titles or were raised properly.

>>16442723

That is already a thing. Even blunt weapons do that, but they are hitstopped by living people.

>>16442854

If two longswordsman swing at eachother, whoever swings first wins, but if the 2nd guy's swing is already about to connect, it doesnt kill him. there'd be alot more traded deaths if it were. Even shooters have trade kills.

>>16442863

Sorry, I'm a retard and I misread your post. While I do think that would be a fun addon for mass battles, the legion of duelfags this game markets to would kvetch endlessly. Maybe a server setting?

>>16442863

>>16442908

Why would that be a positive addition? It'd just be incentive for attack spamming mouthbreathers.

>he says duelfag like it's an insult

>>16442968

Humor, mostly. The sight of two maul users bonking each other simultaneously would provide endless amusement.

>adding -fag suffix is an insult

Lurk more.

>>16442979

Is that a somehow inaccurate statement? Do you also fly into a rage when someone says "archers are gay" in allchat? You are being pedantic about the mildest of bants.
