cheers friend

Update: After a few hours I got slightly less bad and started having the occasional fleeting glimpse of insight into what I was doing. I even managed to hover above 1.0 kdr in a couple matches. (Not that I'm some sweaty tryhard who cares about KDR itself, it's just a handy metric for how successfully I'm smashing faces.)

My main problem is still the same as it's always been: Doesn't matter how well I know how to do counter strikes and whatever, because the instant I get within 10 feet of an enemy, it all flies out the window as my lizard brain takes over and I devolve into a button mashing moron. Knowing the system is one thing, getting my brain to apply it in action is another thing entirely.

Also I do miss the free customisation from Mordhau, I'm not crazy about this class based thing. But it's not a huge deal.

All that said, game good. I hope we get more female voices at some point. Mason's screaming Irish lunatic lady is v. good though.

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.

I will never ever stop smacking people right in their stupid wounded faces with the bandage kit. I haven't killed anyone with one yet, but if one day I do, I'll just call it as them being too wounded to be saved and move on.

I do however have a handful of teamkills from overzealous sprint attack usage. I have zero regrets. War is hell.

I had a good day of Chiv today. No utterly miserable matches, and even a bunch where I actually did legit well. Got really in the groove with the Dane Axe. I still can't say I actually know what I'm doing, but I'm getting something in my spinal cord.

Also, triple kills feel real drat good.

Mind you im pretty sure I even saw/adjusted the option for how long the screen grab lasts. Where tf do I set the keybind to actually use the capture feature? Did they call it something weird in the alt z nvidia menu??

Settings (cog icon to the right in the main Alt-Z screen) -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Recording -> "Save the last X minutes recorded". I think it's Alt-F10 by default.

Also make sure the instant replay feature is actually running. I sometimes forget and then wonder why the gently caress the shortcut isn't doing anything.

The real trick to topping the scoreboards is to do the objectives. Building a ladder is worth 5 assists and there are 2-6 ladders on most objective maps. And the best part is people still haven't figured out how to build them! (realtalk this is a major fault of the game, the opacity of objectives)

Only just the other day I found there are some ladder pieces to pick up during one of the "Capture the bridge" objectives, but have no idea where the hell they're supposed to go. I don't think they're ever mentioned in any way in the game.

So what's the handiest tool for easily clipping all these .mp4s to size? I have all these 30 second instant replay clips, and I was considering breaking out the proper video editor to make some kind of montage video, but surely there's something more convenient if I wanna just snip the relevant 10 second part out and stick it in imgur.

Did you check it to upload with audio? Iirc by default it does it with just the video track

Hrm, no I did not. Apparently this option only exists when using the New Post button on the top left. I normally upload my stuff by going to my gallery page and just dragging and dropping things there. Another mystery solved.

Fair, but if I want a long quick stabby weapon I'll just use a spear.

Unrelated, has anyone ever seen Agatha actually win Escape from Falmire? Every single time I've played that map, Agatha has gotten to the last phase at most.

As Agatha on Falmire I like to hang around the enemy spawns on the 2nd level, where they enter the throne room, and harass attackers as they run by, since they tend to have tunnel vision and will have to eat a couple of hits. Even better if they peel off to engage me since they're staying away from the Duke. The narrow walkways that overlook the room are a good spot for 1vX fights.

Wrong map. Falmire is the one where Agatha is trying to spring their VIP out of prison. There is no throne room, just the courtyard where the cage is.

This probably will only have an real effect on "Double Dane Axe" players. But I just realized, there seems to be some quirks with Vanguard's weapon cosmetics because they are the only ones who can double up on the same weapon.

Oh hell, somehow I never noticed this until now, but you're right. You can actually see it in this clip:

https://i.imgur.com/OIxhR8Q.mp4
Not a huge deal imo, I don't find the cosmetics in this game that exciting anyways.

And speaking of clips, here's a dump of some random poo poo I've been capturing. Now with assorted metal music or stream chatter included. (I'll not embed them so as to not bloat the thread with too many thumbnails)

The bots in this game are really, really bad.
I have no idea what this was about but it was funny as poo poo at the time.

Dunno if anyone cares at this point, but Mordhau just got a new update:

Of note, they finally managed to add dark skinned people in the game.

Eastern Invasion is here! The main attraction is Noria, a new large Invasion/Frontline map. On the customization side, we have the new Nubian character complete with his own hairstyles and beards, a large amount of Eastern-themed cosmetics, and an all-new Eastern voice set, as well as a new weapon, the Scimitar.
