I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to join the goon server. The open command in console didn't work and the browser sucks rear end.

Edit: I added the server in the steam server browser and it says it's not responding.

I was having issues finding it too, then I just searched for "catte" and it popped up.

So between this and WotR:
If i want to play knight dress-up and sperg about equipment upgrades, i want to get WOTR, but if i just want to go AAARWHARRRRGAARRBL and swing a hammer around i should get Chivalry.

And I think it encourages mass battles much better due to the traditional spawns system.

It's really exciting on the elimination maps especially the rolling hills one watching the two teams charge each other and limbs go flying. While War of the Roses always seems to degenerate into isolated battles with spawn spamming deciding who wins.

Chivalry captures the brutality of medieval combat so much better than War of the Roses. Don't get me wrong though, War of the Roses is a decent game, but I've been having much more fun with Chivalry.

I think it's just the fact that I can be a crazy bastard who swings a large sword obnoxiously with little regard for friends or foe whilst screaming battle cries.

Only let down is that the archery/crossbows are really poorly done in Chivalry. If Chivalry had the same ranged mechanics as War of the Roses it would be a much more polished game. The melee combat is so meaty and brutal and you feel disjointed from this when you pick the ranged class as there's very little punch behind it.

Smoke pots and oil pots need some serious tweaking. Both are pretty much useless right now. Smoke pots are hilarious because they let out a tiny bit of smoke and then disappear almost instantly. Absolutely no reason to take one over a throwing axe or dagger as a vanguard. It is not going to help you against archers one bit since they just have to sidestep like 3 feet to see you again.

Oil pots are weird because they seem to do damage only the moment when they explode even though the fire graphic is bugged and remains for a really long time. Again, they have a really small area of effect, but the bigger problem with these is that after they've hit the ground everyone can run over the fire with no penalty. You can't deny any type of area with them at all and they don't do near enough damage to justify the small area and only the initial explosion damage.

Yup the range combat is really unsatisfying in the game unlike in War of Roses.

I agree that it's not as good as WotR and it's not my favorite class by any means, but I still think it's really satisfying to play an archer in this game. The kills feel really good when you land a difficult shot.

e: also good archers can mean the difference between winning and losing

Spearchucker is very satisfying.

Only because it's far more difficult and very bugged.

--Range kills don't count towards your next tier weapon
--The animation to defend after chucking is unreasonably slow
--You are the weakest class
--Worst of all, you cannot scream with X because of another bug. loving ridiculous!

Has anyone else who owns both Chivalry and WotR found themselves somewhat hesitant to go back and play WotR after playing Chivalry?

I've found that when I open steam, I always seem to go to Chivalry rather than WotR.

I've been pretty turned off because of the vast majority of players in plate armor. Glad to hear they nerfed the Scottish Sword (what bullshit that was), but can't go back because you literally have no incentive to use anything other than plate armor. And with everyone in plate armor you can't even considering using some weapons because they'll never damage it.

Really enjoy a lot of things about WotR but I really dislike a lot of aspects to the melee combat which is the core of it.

Can't remember but does WotR let you have to ability to cackle maniacally while stabbing dudes?

Would have to agree with the plate armour issue. Little point in using any other armour types. Also, don't get me started on that loving Scottish sword spamming poo poo... Personally I haven't played WotR since Chivalry was released on steam.

Also, nah there is no option to let out battle cries in WotR as far as I know, at least at the level seen in Chivalry.

Mother gently caress this game right now. I've gotten like 50+ kills with the crossbow today and I still need 20 out of 25 according to the game because it either won't count my kills or the server will disconnect and I won't get any credit. gently caress!

Seems like whenever a server larger than 32 players appears on the server browser when I'm first loading the list it will immediately crash my game

EDIT: Huh guess I just disproved that one. Right after posting this I tried again and it didn't crash with a 64 and 2 40s on the screen

Now I just wish I could filter out last man standing because I hate it.

Resorting the server list crashes the game if you don't wait for the list to fully load.

Also the game seems buggy as hell. I regularly spike up to 500 ping and teleport around the battlefield like a motherfucker. Also i used a ballista and my arms flew off.

If I try to sort by ping or anything, I almost always crash on the server browser. I haven't crashed anywhere else, but the server browser seems to have it's share of issues still with crashes and the not loading servers bug.

Bad archers can too. I have a standing policy of team killing archers when the objective requires us to capture something.

I've only played this for a few hours so far. The team objectives are great but after playing a lot of WoTR recently the combat feels a little flat, clickity click. I wish there was a compromise between the two because that would be an awesome game.

Maybe it will grow on me.

It's not completely broken but it does seem to be on some servers. I think it's an issue on the unofficial servers only. I played for a while this morning where my kills weren't tracked but several hours after that where they were.

Also if you disconnect you lose any progress which was another issue for me earlier when my internet kept going down in the middle of a game.

It's weird the atmosphere just feels more intense and closer to the real feeling of a chaotic melee unlike in War of Roses.

And the subtle sound design helps such as the near miss arrow effect or the different critical hit sounds when someone loses a vital body part.

And despite having less Dote up a knight options I think the class system creates much more balance than War of the Roses where you saw the same cheese builds again and again.

Saboteur par excellence.

Is it just me or are vanguards really overpowered with the greatsword on FFA servers?

Started out with a man-at-arms to level weapons on the arena map, then decided to try to level the greatsword on the vanguard. I went from almost bottom on the K/D list to the very top in a very short time. Just run into a group, start swinging and watch the killcount rise.

Hold on a sec, guys, it's been a minute since I shit up this thread with Rickroll anecdotes.

I'm pretty sure that FFA is not supposed to be taken seriously in a competitive sense. Actually I'm not sure anything in this game is supposed to be taken seriously in a competitive sense. You just kill things and have fun. Balance and min-max strategies are meant for other games.

Any two hand weapon is countered easily by skilled blocking and then taking advantage of the long recovery time.

But it really cheap for FFA sneaking up on group on people and spamming the sweep attack with the 3rd tier sword.

Yeah, when I first loaded up that arena map and saw those spikes I wondered, then hoped, then relished.

Also the section of a map where you have to destroy trebuchets is great. Knights are so smug with their armour and their shields, and then you kick them off a cliff.

Did you ensure Vsync is off? And if so check it again because it randomly turns back on for me.
