Man this game is crashing a whole lot for me.
But when I do get into a stable game nothing stops me from accidentally team killing more people than I can kill on the enemy team, I guess I'm just not used to the way attacking works yet.

If in doubt, throw more men at it!
Game is a whole lot better once you get access to tier 2 armor / weapons, feel like I don't die instantly now.

Just like cRPG all over again, now wheres those throwing axes at?

Throwing weapons are on the far end of the dev roadmap.

It don't mean a thing,
If it ain't got that swing.
Any favourite weapons yet for anyone? Of the starters, I think I like the 1h axe the best, mostly for its speed. The short reach is also kinda a bonus in clusterfuck situations. I started out with the polearm since I liked those best in M&B/Chivalry, but I can't get used to its timing in OKAM. The 2h swords seem like they might be good too.

Ah thanks.

Also I now have the Glaive, and my ability to TK everyone around has increased tenfold. I swear that swings starts at your back and goes ten feet to your side.

For the long pole arms its best to fight on the edges of the battle, hopefully away from teammates. Actually it's probably best to always fight on the edges of battle, but then you may not be helping with the objective.

PSA : Dont be afraid to fight multiple enemies. Getting right into the thick of it works better for you because everyone will glance off of each other and damage their team mates trying to hit you. Just weave and practice your footwork and you WILL be a royal pain in the rear end until someone finally takes you out.

Just to expand on this a bit, the RMB for the 2H sword is a parry counterattack. If you parry an attack with it properly, DO NOT PRESS LMB. You will automatically counterattack at an increased speed. With shields its another type of block, but I find that using LMB to block is a LOT more safer. RMB blocks seems to have... issues sometimes. It is best to just do your normal LMB block and let your shield protect you against attacks you fail to properly block.

I went 90-20 earlier today using a long sword. Got it on video. I really need to up this quality...

https://www.twitch.tv/eggplantwizard_/v/86272385

Now I've been using a 1 handed sword with no shield. It's a bit more challenging, but its definitely viable.

Edit: According to this thread, there will be 4 kingdoms in the Epic when it starts on Wednesday. My current plan is to join "Dynasty," and hopefully other goons will do the same. Even if we aren't directly in the same clans or whatever, we should be able to help eachother out if we're in the same Kingdom.

A good and valid opinion. Maybe the best route is to pick the smallest faction. I'm gonna call my army (if possible) "Peasant Rebellion" and field the lowest quality troops possible.

I don't think anyone really knows what to expect and it will be a learning experience for everyone. That said the first 2 lines of the epic breakdown that chadz wrote was they will start with the most important thing which is big battles and then add every bring else in afterwards, so I wouldn't be surprised if we all got free and well armed armies for free this season.

War Scythe is great. Better than Glaive IMO, which has too slow an attack speed and almost too wide a swing if there is such a thing.

I can kill most people just circling them. The only ones I really have consistent issues with are other scythes and 2h swords. 2h sword almost seems better.

There needs to be a multi branch progression tree for yelling, one for longer more elaborate yells and one for short intense yells with fast cooldown.

The crescent thrusting sword is more of the same. It's got decent reach for a 1h and is pretty fast and it murders peasants in padded armor pretty great but just sucks against anyone with armor.
After I unlocked the crescent I decided gently caress it and going to go down the hand and a half line.
