Thrice, not twice, nay not four times either.

I literally just started playing two days ago. Are there higher level tournaments or anything that might require proper teamwork?

Foxhound? Houndfox.

No idea where the scene is now with NA but here's somewhat recent 2v2 tournament's finals from the winning team's POV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78EADyieS8U

They still happen, just need to get to know the scene somehow.

Rose City 'til I die!
I got this game a few years ago and only just started this past weekend. I'm getting into an archery groove and having an absolute blast, but I gotta ask...

Why is the chat almost always a veritable fountain of slurs, hate speech, and derogatory comments? I mean, I've played my share of online games but this is another loving tier. And yet, surprisingly, I've encountered very little taunting and personal attacks à la "git gud" and such. I'm not sure what to make of it.

The game has a fairly tiny, insular community. They mostly just reinforce the awful culture that's developed because of it.

:siren:Calling all Chivlords:siren:

The Mordhau Kickstarter is finally up.

Going by the trailer, it seems like the proper successor to Chivalry, but with much less animation/glitch abuse.

I'm so stoked. I backed the $40 tier so I can get in on the beta at the end of the year.

I like how they very carefully stepped around actually mentioning Chivalry by name while explicitly referring to it several times. I'm glad to see they're looking to eliminate shenanigans like spinning and dragging. :allears:

Chiv combat fixed, with Mount and Blade type battles and horses, and a CoDish unlock system? I'm down.

If you guys are interested I will make a dedicated Mordhau thread. But you have to promise to post in it so I don't get embarrassed

Yes.
Oh hell yeah that looks cool as poo poo. Sadly the screaming and yelling probably won't be as good.

I get half!!
Now that it's funded is there any point in backing other than if you want to spend extra money for Alpha/Beta access? There doesn't seem to be any kickstarter exclusives at the 25 dollar tier.

I went ahead and made the Mordhau thread:

So the Mirage beta is coming up March 27th.

I'm not too excited about this game compared to Mordhau, but poo poo, who knows. At least the concept and art style are original. I have almost 1,400 hours in Chivalry, so I feel like I kind of owe it to them to give Mirage a chance.

I don't suppose anyone here was in the closed alpha?
