Just joined a match where I spotted a vanguard with his back turned. I figured I'd make short work of him with my mace, so I dodged into his back right as he was finishing up a horizontal with the billhook. It somehow connects and I'm killed instantly. I think I'm done with this game until the devs fix the horseshit that needs fixing, rather than buffs to vanguards and nerfs to everything that can counter them.

The starting mace kills Vanguards in 2 horizontal slashes, which is pretty useful, but more often than not you'll die to the horseshit associated with vanguards as a whole so it's effectiveness gets hit pretty hard. Seriously, half the time I'll queue up an attack at the same time as another guy, but his spear or halberd will beat me out, even if it is an overhead.

 Lowgrav servers are the best. gently caress the objective, go explorin' dong_nougat and I did just that last night, and I decided to record the fruits of our labors.       Stoneshill, Battlegrounds, and Citadel had to most poo poo to jump off/explore. At least, I think those are the right map names. The maps in pictures 1, 3, and 5 were a hoot to jump around in. Later on an admin on the server came on and started up a fight club, changing the game speed and damage multiplier based on what the winner of the bout picked. That was a blast as well, and I recorded most of my fights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk6xtfpnhQM

The other day I found out that you can one hand the Longsword, SoW, and Messer by hitting 1 with a shield equipped. I've also found that jumping off high ledges to obliterate people below you is hilarious. Stoneshill and Dark Forest are great for this.

The key is putting as many projectiles downfield as possible in the shortest amount of time. So use the sling  I don't know if they buffed the quarterstaff or what, but holy poo poo does it own hard. Sidestepping every swing from a Vanguard or Knight while you wreck them is extremely satisfying. Is seems the alt horizontal comes out really quickly, so I've been using that to tag people as I circle around them and run past.

Exodee posted:You know, after having played on some 32+ player servers, I can see where you guys are coming from when it comes to Vanguards. When nobody is able to pay attention to you it's all too easy to just grab the biggest weapon you have and flail it around in a big melee. That those servers tend to be laggier doesn't help either, of course. Either way, lower-pop servers feel a lot more balanced overall. This isn't exclusive to 32+ player servers though. I never play above 24 player servers and there's always a bunch of idiot Vanguards running around teamkilling because they're too goddamn stupid to know what an overhead or stab is. Yet they're also topping the scoreboard because as long as you get a kill it's acceptable losses  Not to mention that kickvotes never pass against them, yet archers who fire a single arrow near a teammate are gone instantly.

I see nothing but good things in those patch notes. Hopefully the hitting the ground thing applies to Vanguards whiffing overheads with a polearm. Hell, even if it doesn't, they should be able to be flinched with reasonable consistency without obliterating you with another overheads immediately afterwards. E: being able to cause ballistae to rotate by spectating the player using it sounds absolutely hilarious and I'm disappointed that I didn't get to dick around with it at all.

Minorkos posted:I picked it this during the weekend sale since I enjoyed it so much and it was 8 euros. I've managed to get good enough to finish as the MVP 90% of the time. I used to play all the classes, but now I'm mostly sticking to Vanguard. My high skill strategy for winning is the following: I trimmed the guide down a bit, should still have the same results .I've been using the HWS a lot recently, and it destroys. It's extremely quick, about as long as the flanged mace, and still 3 shots knights despite the reduction in damage. I can't ever seem to parry properly with it though.

Kimiko posted:Hey everyone! Welcome to our Friday Update! I'm not really looking forward to the chase boost changes, since I think that it's a loving stupid system in the first place, especially since it enables a Knight to outrun a MaA at an already ridiculous range. I think the stamina cost change will be for the better though, and will cut down on the number of Vanguard swinging Zweihanders literally nonstop. Customization is pretty nice as well, now I can chop mans while being the prettiest princess on the battlefield

So to tide you over until it’s officially updated, here are a few fixes and alterations written up by SlyGoat, of what’s to come. Balance changes shall wait til’ Monday!

So apparently, if you have a shield equipped and it gets hit while idle, it will still damage you. Not only that, but it's counted as head damage. Great job, TB!  It's being fixed in the next patch, but still.

I guess stealing kills with vanguard lmbs is fine but doing it with the javelin isn't? Or maybe it's the MAAs and archers who dislike being one shotted. I don't know. face me like a man coward archer human being  This community really is the worst.

Jav/heavy jav is the best for loving poo poo up. For whatever reason people just don't expect archers to be so aggressive and pay the price for it. Then once I'm out of javs, I go to town with the shortsword. I should really rebind stab to M1 the next time I play.

The shortsword is amazing as well. Just two stabs to the chest and MaAs and Archers are down, and just 3 for Vanguards. Best of all, it's available from the start.

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:Did anyone else's performance go to poo poo recently? Since what must have been the last patch, I went from never dropping below 30FPS, to constantly sub 20. The game's become unplayable. Do the most recent Radeon drivers have issues with Chivalry or something? The game's just really poorly optimized. I can run most modern games on high or more but with this game I'm lucky to break 30 FPS at the lowest settings.

Just played a few round of LTS on Ruins where a MaA would do nothing buy hide in the foliage and spam voice commands. A few times a Mason would walk right up next to him or even run into him and just keep on going. At one point he had all of the remaining Mason's within 20 feet of him. I don't know who or where you are Besmirches, but you're doing gods work

The charge attack with the Bardiche is pretty nasty, too. It's just a short hop but if you connect you can chain into a near instant overhead, which will outright kill anyone but a knight. After 100+ hours and not really touching vanguard for more than a few minutes at a time, it blows my mind just how piss easy it is to do well and rack up kills as vanguard. I ended up unlocking the entire halberd tree in just over 3 TO rounds, when I'm normally lucky to get between 15-20 kills as an Archer or MaA.

Internet Kraken posted:So is there any reason to use the HWS instead of the Norse sword? The Norse Sword seems to have just flat out better stats than it in every way. It's blunt damage rather than stab/slash, so you get a damage bonus to every class. It can 2 hit vanguards with horizontals if one hits the head, and I also think it combos and completes swings faster.

I really, really don't like how they made it so that you can't queue an attack mid-dodge. The cooldown isn't bad, but this? This is the real killer. I've died so much more due to not being able to close the distance after making someone whiff, or just because the fights have been prolonged because I can't get in there to finish it up so some rear end in a top hat comes from behind and obliterates me. I still do reasonably well as a MaA, but now it's so much harder than it already was. I've also started using lead ammo for the sling, and it really makes a difference in stopping power and crowd control. I just wish it had more ammo though. 25 is pretty low.

I guess I just got lucky then, since out of the 50 or so duel matches I've played everyone has been pretty cordial to each other, with lots of 'gf's and 'nice hit's between every round. Maybe it's just that I haven't played duel as much as the rest of the modes, but whenever I got fed up with idiot teammates and invincible vanguards and switched to duel I've always had a good time, even if I didn't win.

When six out of twelve people on a FFA server are named Sir Somethingor other, running around as a vet helmet vanguard blob and spewing Xbox live grade insults every time they kill someone, meh. I once saw a pair of archers working together obviously, but that seemed more of a desperate bid to survive against the rank 40+ mega killstreak vanguard on a server full of otherwise single digit rankers. They actually left my MMA alone for the most part unless I ran right at them. In my experience a player with the name of a Game of Thrones character is a real piece of poo poo and wont hesitate to call you a cheap friend of the family spic kike noob the moment you kill him. quote:Though I gotta wonder how some people pull it off when it's less obvious like 'Veteran helmet Vanguard Gang' and a mixed group of pals, considering the only time I've ever seen name popups is in Team vs modes and even then, only when you put your crosshair over a nearby teammember. If someone is on your friends list their name appears in green over their character regardless of mode or team.

If they did either of those I'd do nothing but fisticuffs all the time. Punching was perfectly viable until the last patch or two. The hitboxes were 'tightened up' just for punches, presumably because too many manchildren who refuse to switch from their greatswords cried about being stunlocked.

Cowcaster posted:I dunno guys, I took the quarterstaff out for another spin and I'm still not convinced. It's sort of fast I guess, but nothing compared to the norse sword or the holy water sprinkler, both which do equal or better damage. In duel mode, it's actually quite good, especially against knights and vanguards. Outside that though all it's really good for it whacking people and running away laughing. It also supposedly makes you dodge faster, but I've never really paid attention enough to compare the effects.

There is nothing more satisfying or tear producing than watching a Vanguard or Knight slowly zig-zag up to you and then doming them with you HCB as soon as they straighten out in the last 10 feet to start their attack.
