the thing in chivalry where you equip a zweihander, and turn around the exact moment your overhead attack begins so you hit them at full strength instantly with the startup

Also know as the thing, alongside helicoptering, that completely ruined Chivalry combat lol

Ah, I think I quit playing Chivalry before I saw too much of that. So that guy is complaining that the devs tried to mitigate bullshit that's isn't fun to play against.

WTF is a backwards overhead?

Also the game seemed playable to me at 300 ping, but maybe I got super lucky or don't know what last feels like in the game yet.

I was only able to try one game so far, had about 140 ping and my attacks would just phase through people. I was also being ignored by the other team even if I was right in front of them and couldn't pickup weapons or items.

yeah pretty much. He's mad because he spent a lot of time getting good at buggy exploits that pretty much destroyed the small community of people trying to take the game seriously and now none of that practice is going to carry over into a game where the devs actually give a poo poo about curbing stuff like that lol

Also, apparently progression is starting to work for some people, according to the steam forums.

Weird. Maybe I was lucky. Actually I think this was in a horde game, so maybe hit detection is handled differently in that. I did play a game at 80 ping that seemed completely fine.

I kind of remember seeing them but what I remember more was the deadliest warrior dlc where if you weren't a Spartan or samurai you were dead.

I remember getting Chivalry as part of a humble bundle a few years ago and found it really fun until I graduated from the newbie servers and just about instantly uninstalled when I saw how dumb everything looked when experienced players were involved. With that bad poo poo shaved off I imagine this will probably be a big time-sink for me.

peasant is rough mostly because they don't have a helmet


one thing I'm kinda disappointed in so far is there seems like every incentive in the world to go full heavy armor. you go slower, yea, but you take a l o t less damage and only frontlines has any real dedicated running around. All the skirmish maps are pretty small.

I could play a foppish rogue with a rapier or estoc or whatever it actually is in this and dodge around and constantly press X to flourish or I could just be the guy spamming laugh as every swing does ten hp, tops.

For the sake of realism the game should be about 5 players in full armor that are entirely impervious to everything but hammers or stab damage in the visor, and everybody else is peasants.

A horrible tide of peasants.

Was there a new patch deployed today? Steam is showing I haven't downloaded one but I'm hearing there was one. Also I can't edit my characters for some reason now. Everything is locked.

Babe Magnet
Jun 2, 2008

Everyone's stuff is locked out, yeah. I think it's because they're getting ready to deploy a patch to try and fix some of the progression issues, and part of that is going to be resetting everyone's unlocks (and setting them to level 5 and giving everyone 5000 gold), so they don't want anyone buying any more gear.

in the fight screen up top there's a server browser, user that instead. you want a skirmish game. you have to manually refresh and then it takes ten seconds or so to actually populate

A dagger if you want to block or your fists if you're feeling spicy. Enjoy beating a knight in full plate armor to death with your bare hands while you're both on fire.

Trip report: the maul is a pretty cool guy and can cave in skulls with one hit even through a level 3 helmet.
Also bandages are crazy fast to use and only cost 1 point, wow I should throw these on more loadouts.
e: Although part of my perceived need for these is because I didn't realize sprinting stopped health regen before so I was never healing outside of fights.

This is always the case in high skill cap games that aren’t just FPS. People who are good seem to be on a mission to crush everyone else and ruin the game for everyone ensuring it dies before any kind of critical mass of people get into it. I don’t get it but there’s always people who just want to feel like the big man playing god mode or whatever. They did at least fix the stupid helicopter overhead smash moves and all that from chivalry right?

Paradise Lost: Clash of the Heavens!

I loved War of the Roses and I loved Mount and Blade but did not particularly like Chivalry which felt kind of... simple. I am not saying it is bad or you are bad for enjoying it, but it was not my cup of tea. Maybe that is not it, but there is something about Chivalry's combat I just did not like much.

How do you feel this stacks up to any of those games?

How complicated is the active parrying and blocking?
