Warad posted:Now the only thing I haven't figured out for it yet is its special attack, which just couches the spear, I haven't had anyone run into yet to even see what kind of damage it does. Honestly just makes me think it's only there for the horses that'll show up later. I accidentally did it once just as an enemy was jumping at me from above and as he was falling I was like "hell yeah this is going to rule!!!" and he hit the spear and kinda bounced off it and he ran away  I forget how quickly you get down in the position but I wonder if you could do it while someone's in your face. I guess they could always just sidestep you but if it's timed right maybe a way to get some damage in if they're relentlessly advancing on you after making some room with the basic poke.

mdct posted:I think the glaive is strictly worse than basically every poleman weapon at the moment, though it has a niche on vanguard because it's a long pole weapon that they don't normally have access to. That's kind of the impression I got. It's a swordlike weapon that isn't as good as an actual sword.

I'm surprised to say that this is the only game I know where numbers can actually become a disadvantage - fighting 1vX in certain terrains is something of a gamble. Certain weapons don't seem to work well alongside one another also.

Really enjoying Chiv 2. I played the first one a bit, but bounced pretty hard off Mordhau. Something with the second is just clicking with me. I feel like I actually do things and not just die all the time. The spear on the Poleman is great. So is the war club on the Vanguard. The weapons with reach let me act as a second line and it does some work. Kiting people is good, too. Excited to see what they do with this one!

Certain weapons don't seem to work well alongside one another also. Yeah, group fights are actually somewhat balanced in this game, especially if you're using the weapons better for it. It's a skill check, but counters on one person's attack can lead to an attack hitting someone else because they're not in perfect sync, and you can jump back and forth. Just never let anyone get behind you.

Really helpful of the matchmaker in a TDM battle to shore up the weaker team with a herd of bots, so that the stronger team can slaughter them by the dozens and win even faster

Yeah I prefer 40 players, 64 is just a neverending cycle of taking a couple swings and getting ganked from behind or just generally getting mobbed.

Isn't it cross-play with all the consoles though, too? I would've figured that would ensure a healthy population forever.

Exclusivity is supposed to be for a year, and it'll be dead by then, so if you're skipping out on Epic you might just be waiting for Mordhau 2 lol Haven't been a big fan of the service lately either since I installed it for Chiv 2. Not having a way to message people or join on their game from the friend's list or spectate them has been a small pain in the rear end, and I never thought I'd miss having dedicated built-in discussion forums for each game, but having to go to a subreddit to figure out issues is real annoying.

SplitSoul posted:Same. Is there a Steam date yet? Usually it's a year of exclusivity unfortunately. edit: and like Babe Magnet said yeah the game will also be dead unfortunately. I figured Chivalry sold easily well enough to support development of a sequel and then some but Epic has been paying out the nose and who's gonna turn down a guaranteed return. If it had come to Steam I coulda probably got my usual gaming crew on board but EGS makes that a no go.

Chiv 2 might be able to stave off or dodge this genre's tendency to dwindle down to hardcores relatively quickly (much like it's adjacent genre Fighting Games) if they put out another weird DLC like the first game's Deadliest Warrior, or something out of left field like mod tools.

It feels like some of the multi-stage maps are too long overall. Like, there's no "I'll just play a quick game of Chivalry 2....". You got to be able to commit at least 20-30 minutes.

Certain weapons don't seem to work well alongside one another also. if you're 1v2 it could potentially still be a stalemate if, due to terrain or other factors you can't flank him, if you're 1v3+ , even if you're all in front of him you should be able to interrupt him constantly if he's attack spamming or wreck his stamina->disarm if he's being defensive. If hes a shield knight and he's being turtle-y honestly just ignore him until he overextends and you can backstab him.

Chiv 1 at least had a designated voice command that had you shouting about the current objective, it kinda sounds like others do in incidental dialogue but it's usually so quiet you can't hear them over all the battlecries.

I only cared about that game for about a week or two but I still remember how well they implemented that. I’m not much of a voice chatter thanks to general anxiety and wanting to just zone out and chill during mp and that sort of thing is so handy. I want to be a team player just let me do it via the controller please thanks  e: screaming button does make up for it tbh

There's a spot on coxwell on the second to last point that a defender can hide in that doesn't go out of bounds for the final objective. I haven't checked if the Masons can get back to it after their spawn passes it but it's pretty hilarious when they can't find the last one.Imagined posted:Oh, so there's no penalty for quitting mid-match?

I worked my way up Vanguard looking forward to the Maul, only to find that I'm absolute garbage with it against anyone who is, a) facing in my direction b) conscious. I'm also garbage in a 1vX situation. It's probably just my timing, it's a completely different animal than the 2h spear and the Messer, which were the two weapons I had focused on previously, so if anyone has any sweet sweet Maul tips, I'd appreciate them.

I really tried to use that couched spear special and it would actually be useful if it didn't make you stand up any time you poke someone. I was hanging around corners or in chokepoints and would tuck down with the spear and was catching some people in it but it does 40 damage and forces you to stand up when you hit someone with it during which you're open to attack. But for real for those of you talking poo poo on the glaive I have to wonder if we're using the same thing because I was absolutely tearing rear end with that thing. It's got the range/thrust ability of the spear but wide charged sweeps with it can lop heads off like nobody's business.

I don't even know what the spear special's theoretical utility is. It seems to only trigger if they are already well within stabbing range and it does below average dmg, it just saves you a click? but you can also get interrupted out of it like a normal attack? idgi . Thank god the spear sprint attack owns.

I feel like the couched spear pike defense mode is 100% a vestigial component of when they planned to have mounted/horse combat in the game.

DeadFatDuckFat posted:You gotta get all up in n their face with the shovel, just jab and kick and bonk away I unlocked the shovel and it's amazing, i love the bonk. At first it was weird because it has a shorter reach than it seems but once you are used to it's reach it's really good. I went something like 16-0 in a game before i died. Lots of people don't know how to react when you dodge their first attack and hit them in the back of the head with a charged shovel attack.

after you use the spear's special, you can press the button again to do little pokes without leaving the stance idk if it makes the special any better but its there!

Occasionally it can be useful to block doorways or ladders, too. But yeah, in practice it's kind of superfluous.
