Nothing new here, but HOLY FUCKING USELESS ARCHERS! Playing Masons on Stoneshill, as MaA, going around to stab some peasants, but one Agatha Knight knows exactly what he's doing and anticipates my detour. Fine. I try going around again, and get to the middle, stabbing one or two peasants, but get swarmed by a sea of knights. Not a single Mason in sight. As I respawn, I look around and to my (not really) big surprise, 4 archers are doing dick-all, one foot from spawn, lobbing arrows at nothing. I spam the Forward command and type for them to move up. No response. So I kick one while yelling "Forward!" and of course, get two arrows to the face. As yet again I respawn, I look at the team and notice it's composed of one MaA (me), one Knight, and the rest is archers. All of them miles from the first fire pit with the torches, closer to spawn, on top of that boulder. Fuck them. Also, I seriously hope they fix that shit on Hillside, where as Agatha, after dicking around with the trebuchets, you have to sink ships on ballistas that won't fucking move. Wait, that's not true; on the first bolt, it's stuck aiming in the position it was last left, but after you fire, then you can move it around, aim and shoot. That's be fine, but it's im-fucking-possible if they're team is all archers, and so is your team, yet archrs on offence are fucking useless and STAY AT THE FUCKING SPAWN. Fuck. Yes, I mad.

An archer saved me today. It was on Hillside and I was by one of the torches. I was wounded from a fight and almost dead, and an enemy archer was coming up through the tunnel on the right (near the Pyre). He lifted up his bow. I tried to get my shield out, but I wasn't going to make it. But just before he fired, he himself was shot in the head. He died, and behind him was standing an ally archer. Was cool, would have been need to have recorded it.

I started out as a Mason MaA, stabbing about ten peasants and lighting houses on fire, then pushing the cart and knocking on the door. I was top of the leaderboard and right before the gate was shattered, I got autobalanced to Agatha. As the king. Awesomely enough, the knights swore allegiance to me rigth away and formed a nice shield wall around me. I bathed in knights for ten minutes and then we won. Appart from that, autobalance a bitch.

>>19144037 It does what it tries to do well. The combat is interesting and hectic. The graphics are pretty bad but not to the point where it detracts from the experience (from far away the battlefield actually looks pretty). Hits feel like hits, deaths are suitably "oomph"y and kills are satisfying. The game is class-based, and you need to unlock some of the weapons. It's not too grindy though, it's more of a way to force players to become familiar with the defaults than a way to milk playtime out of us. Takes a couple of hours to max out a loadout, easily doable in one sitting. And it's cheap enough to be practically buyer's-remorse-proof. If you're interested enough in the concept to have jumped into the thread to ask, it probably is worth a look. Word of warning though: Buggy as SHIT in the current version. Play the most updated beta version (look up how to do it on their forums). It fixes all of the instability/server browser shittiness that for some reason is in the current game. Patch should become the default in about a week.

Fuck. The patch ruined the voice commands because I'm not used to the new ones. In order to do your mobile battle cry, you have to be sprinting, and use the same button for a stationary battle cry. The voice commands were changed to where it's one big menu. This makes it hard to laugh. This game is doomed.

This game .. Has the worst community I've ever encountered, I was fighting a guy 1v1, got him down to about 10% and some guy on my team sweeps in and kills me, was nowhere near the enemy guy. After about 20 seconds I ask if he's going to apologize any time soon.. He responds with saying "You should uninstall the game noob ^^ you were in the way and you know it" this continued for a bit, he kept insisting that I have a massive ego for wanting an apology, calling me 'kid' and spamming emoticons like it was no tomorrow, then some other guys on the server started backing him up, saying that nobody cares about me being butthurt - Which admittedly I was but I didn't show that in my responses.. The way I'm typing this obviously doesn't reflect how fucking obnoxious he acted. I'd screenshot it or copy the chatlog from the console but I exited the game shortly afterwards, uninstalled it and broke a glass that was next to me. I mean, I've never encountered ANYONE as disgusting as that, I'm seriously in awe..

>>19198754 Are you sure we're on the same page? By mobile battlecry, I mean your scream. Before this patch you could scream just by pressing X. Pressing C would do a battlecry where you would stand still and do a motion, like beating your shield. After the patch, there is no longer a mobile battlecry, or scream button. Instead, you have to be sprinting and press, by default, C. It is confirmed in the patch notes, too. >- Manual VO menus redone (Z and X for menus, mobile battlecry shifted back to C for when you are sprinting). http://www.chivalrythegame.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5698

Unless you notice him doing it more than once, I'd say it's best to just let it go. Believe it or not, most people actually are just trying to help and get carried away. If you DO notice someone doing it more than once, initiate a votekick. For whatever reason, it is insanely easy to votekick people in this game.

The chase function has never worked for me. Everyone always gets away, even if I'm sprinting with my crosshair on them, and the crosshair is red. I also hate how shield bash will not work if the target is as close as possible to you. A Spam at Arms can just get directly in my face, and when you're that close, your attacks go through shields 100% of the time. But your shield bash doesn't work when they're that close, either, so it's guaranteed death.

>>19239481 ATTENTION SHIELD USERS. I had been annoyed at you guys for quite some time as a vanguard because it is REALLY HARD to kill a good shield knight with any 2 handed vanguard weapon. I figured out that shield knights are the only thing worth switching to my offhand axe for. Basically, to get around your shield, I will get as CLOSE as possible to you so that I may sidestep you quicker. Then I will overhead you your right while moving to your right, or slash to your left while moving to your left. To block this, you must see what attack I am doing, and turn WAY more than normal in order to block my attack. This is because, instead of just aiming at your body, I am moving around you and choosing an attack that further moves behind your body, So many shield users rage at this in game, and when I tell them how to block this they don't even listen because of their rage-goggles. Hopefully you guys will listen and be better players.

>>19256416 I find shield users hilariously easy to deal with. They even tell you how to in the tutorial. If they have their shield up they literally cant see shit and you just hit their side with a slash or a poke. I've out dueled many a knight doing this while I was an Archer. It's great how made they get when they're killed by a lowly bow user with a saber.

So I got this game the other day and have been having a lot of fun poking cunts with my halberd. The sluggish movement speed is somewhat annoying, but it's causing me pretty large amounts of butthurt when it's combined with archers and xbow people everywhere. I cannot move fast enough to throw off the aim. That and I can be 2 shot/1 hit with a head shot. I also somewhat dislike that I have to commit to the second part of the combo before the first hit has even landed. I thought it would be that I can press the button again after the swing has hit but not finished, but you need to spam click to get any sort of combo going. Pretty enjoyable nevertheless.

>>19285618 nope War of the Roses is slow as all fuck and you can hold attacks and parries in it, so it's more lag-friendly.

>>19286039 He's right about Vanguards being fucked though. When you have to run your ass all the way to point-blank range as a class with no shield, you're pretty much boned. Even if he's an awful shot and you're zig-zagging like a motherfucker, he's going to at least hit you once if he sees you from any kind of range. And once you get to the 20-feet-or-closer range, he's basically got a free shot on you.

Every Duel Server Ever: You hop into a duel server ready to fight with valor. There are 12 people in total including you. Here is how the players are separated: You 10 players who are intermediate and below. You will beat them every time, and they spend most the time fighting amongst themselves doing basic parry/hit/parry/hit That one godlike player who you either always lose to, or always have an equal fight against. You and he will always fight in the last seconds of the round, in which an archer will always fire in and kill one of you. That "one godlike player" for me usually tends to be a MaA. A lot of times I beat MaA by baiting them into dashing forward, and attacking them as they do. But these ones know! They always stay just out of range and would be able to parry a meteor crashing down into the earth. They also tend to constantly be using the laugh voice... That one player you always have trouble with; what is his class?

oh, one other thing. Is it always best to do the fighting in first person or what? Seems like third person gives you a much better overview and might save you from getting flanked in some cases but at the cost of it being harder to fight one on one?

>>19302676 Third person, I believe, gives you an advantage. However, most people agree it's not as enjoyable. Some servers even disallow 3rd person entirely, so I wouldn't get too reliant on it. Setting a high FOV will probably give you a similar advantage to 3rd person.

Eh, just bought this and its nothing like mount&blade. Having swings on buttons instead of mouse movement is all sorts of horrible. You dont get the feel that you do from having to match your mouse movement to the intended swing. Side swing is just a side swing not a left or right swing. Blocking is kinda horrible too, no feel to it. Feints seem clumsy. The idea of combos is kinda stupid too. Movement feels a little sluggish except double taps which feel like teleports. Only spent 5 minutes with it but oh well only £10 wasted. It might be fun if I give it a chance, which will probably happen since im low on games. But if you liked mount and blade theres no guarentee you'll like this.

Seems MaA is best for this because of dodging.

>>19315310 I don't think he's underpowered at all, nor do I find him particularly difficult to play; he mostly just requires a heavy change in tactics and playstyle. You can't really afford to absorb blows so you have to pick your battles wisely and rely on 1v1 engagements and harassing foes.

76 hours later 19318618 Anonymous
>>19318053 Fast attacks are really strong in this game, due to no matter how much damage it deals a hit will interrupt a windup. The only way you can escape is by parrying, and unless you have low ping that'll be a lot harder than it should be. If you are parried though your momentum is gone and you will have a pretty hard time getting back the advantage. Not sure if you can parry fists, haven't tried.

76 hours later 19319440 Anonymous
>>19318440 Expanding on this post a bit ive found the best thing to do with MAA is be extremely cautious to the point of frustration. Keep out of reach and try to drain their stamina a bit and don't be afraid to reardodge, turn and sprint a ways to frustrate a foe or get them to follow you up a staircase/ around a corner. I've been using the maces and having great success with them, but i have heard great things about the axes and haven gotten to them yet. It's also worth mentioning that you should definitely keep a blunt/sharp combo on you at all times as you need every point of damage to kill and having that slight advantage over an archer/MAA is near mandatory, switch weapons as appropriate and don't forget to abuse feints, kicks and dodges.

What's annoying is that archers can just hold their bow back pretty much as long as they wish, so if you have a shield up and are right in their face, they just have to wait until you put it down to get a guaranteed hit. Though they can't hold it forever, because they're allies are likely nearby it doesn't matter. And once they automatically put it down, they can pick it back up. Archers are 90% of the time just guaranteed damage.

Oh wow. If you crouch walk, you make no sounds at all. This is actually very useful. Generally if I'm alone I can counter ambushers because I can hear their footsteps. And they do the same to me. But with crouching, you can actually be a ninja. Just crouch while you approach that ballista fucker, he won't know what's coming. And using third person, I can get a better idea of whether or not I'm hidden. You know what? I think I'm going to try a few games playing pseudo-stealth. I wanna see how it goes.

>>19355910 I've done the feinting thing before and sometimes it works, sometimes it fucks you over since you can't block right after feinting either. In my (limited) experience it's more risky than just following through with your attack. Even when it works i've had people block the swing after a feint after they've tried blocking the feint attack, there's just way too many chances to block. What really pisses me off though is when i aim a thrust at someone's legs and magically their shield or weapon blocks the attack even though it's positioned over their chest and not their legs.

>>19363189 I remember hearing that they were going to implement one shortly after release. I just heard talk about it on the official forums, don't have an actual source though. It'd be nice if it happens though. In the mean-time, there ARE dueling servers, albeit unofficial ones that rely on the honor rule. I've found that it's not too hard to find a small dueling server where everyone's playing by the rules though, and it's generally pretty easy to votekick griefers. If you ever want to give it a shot, general etiquette is as follows: >Find someone >Stationary battlecry at them >If they battlecry back, you commence the duel as soon as they're done >Don't jump into other people's duels, you faggot

>>19363189 >>19363730 I suppose it would be ok for variety but I really don't care about dueling at all, this game is about crowd fighting, it's squeezing hits in the backs of people who are already fighting someone else while avoiding friendly fire and covering your own and your friend's asses. Whenever people fight 1v1 it usually becomes a back and forth parry fest until someone tries to feint or dodge and then the outcome is more likely to be decided by lag than anything.

>>19370092 I WISH I could actually encounter and die to someone who is somewhat skilled at the game. I seem to only die to w+m1 vanguards, if I'm 1v1ing them I'll kill them 100% of the time, no question. But the problem is when you're playing a team with 2-3 of them and they love to backstab you. There is no way I can come out victorious in a 2v1 as one of them faggots keep swinging, I'll either have to go for a hit-for-hit which will surely leave me at less than 50% health due to 2h's doing absurd amounts of damage or I gotta drag it out till an ally comes along so he can soak up some damage for me.

>>19370808 2h's in general are bullshit, or any weapon that has a swing attack and is long range, there should be a severe damage reduction after you've hit through one person. In fact you shouldn't be able to drag your sword through more than one person at all, it's just not realistic. It's a reason 2h vangs/knights always end up topping the scoreboard in FFA or other chaotic gamemodes.

Anyone know how to get decent fps in this game like a custom init or something? it's literally unplayable sometimes and sometimes my fps is fine. I've tried turning every setting down to minimum and turning off all the shit like shadows etc but it doesn't seem to make a difference when im lagging. Turning up stuff when i'm not lagging doesn't seem to make a difference either, it's really fucking weird.

So here's my first impressions after playing for about 3 hours online. If you know how to counter some of my problems, please respond. >Good setting and atmosphere I like medieval settings so awesome for me >Gore Getting your head cut off is humiliating, yet amazing when you do it to others >Combat It's one of those, sorta simple systems yet it has a lot of depth and it's still hard to master and it's entertaining when it works properly >Objective based games are interesting Kinda like how many of them have their own little scenario/story >Server list It only seems to work when it wants to and the majority of all servers are decently laggy >Hit detection My biggest complaint. It is very iffy at times. Sometimes you'll be CLEARLY hitting someone, yet the blade passes through them. Other times blocking doesn't seem to much even when you time it correctly. There's also some details that bother me, like hitting an enemy from the back will also hurt your ally in front of him. Other times I've somehow managed to hit the raised shield of an enemy who is facing the other way. >Combat (yes, it gets mentioned twice) It feels a little random or weird at times. Sometimes you'll be stuck in an infinite block/riposte duel with an enemy where it's almost impossible to get a hit in despite countering immediately. Other times I for some unknown get stunlocked despite countering and can't attack before the enemy attacks again. Especially while getting bumrushed by lighter clashes at such a close range that you can't even see HOW they are attacking. +Archers are fucking annoying

>>19431834 I think your problem with hit detection is largely due to the lag you were experiencing. Swords passing through people and whatnot. I personally enjoy the detail that you can hit your allies with the same attack that hits your enemy, you have to be careful of the type of attack you use in those situations. Archers are dicks Your stunlock problem is likely due to you running out of stamina and becoming exhausted. To break the neverending parry battle, try using kicks or ducking or feinting.

If you have toggle sprint on, and you end your sprint by just stopping, the sprint is still technically 'on' even though you're stationary, and you can't draw your bow while sprinting. So you either need to cancel your sprint by pressing shift again, or walk backwards to make the game realize that you have, in fact, stopped sprinting.

The blocks with the fists are much faster and you can quickly bap him back on the head. Of course this isn't the case always.

Exchange thee secret or otherwise non-evident wizardry you know of, that hath not been covered in the tutorial! All for the behest of the new players! Blocking melees with a shield is easier than timing a parry, but parrying without shield means you can respond quicker after said parry. Remember to have your cursor near/on their weapon to block well Never use kick for anything other than getting range e.g. as a spearman. It cannot be used effectively to create an opening for a swing. You can however feign being a greenhorn by kick -> enemy expect and attack -> you feint -> he might attempt to parry -> you overhead him instead When wielding a slow 2h weapon you can drag your mouse in the direction of where your swing comes from. This effectively delays the impact time and makes them waste their parry and makes your weapon hit just after the drops his weapon from the parry. you can get around a shield by jumping, overhead+look down IMPORTANT ONE: The only thing that stops you from running is getting hit. not your own hits you dish out.

113 hours later 19438573 Anonymous
>>19437528 >>19437071 So, not the guy you're replying to but I've managed to clear out a few servers now. I think the trick is a combination of timing, skill, and luck. Luck because there always exists a random possibility that a stray arrow hits you as you round a corner, or rogue vanguard charging your buddy happens to nail you with a spear when you round his side. Skill because you really do need to know the timing of your weapons by heart.

113 hours later 19438590 Anonymous
>>19438573 cont And timing is probably the most important. The best classes for server clearing, I've found, are knight and vanguard. While MoA is really cream in 1v1 situations it does crumble under the weight of a vanguard+knight or some other combination. When I'm playing a knight I also tend to use a faster weapon, like the hammer, with a medium shield. Lately I've taken to using the Maul, but I'd really only recommend it after a SIZABLE amount of practice. You don't want to be the first bodies in the fight. Try to bait out the zealous. What usually happens is: one chucklefuck decides to take a blind swing (A). The other team jumps on the idiot with 2-3 guys(B). The opposing team then counter-charges while the first reaction (C). Then the team reacts to the counter charge and melee ensues (D). Lastly some hanger-ons join the battle (E). These usually consist of archers who are now forced to fight in hand-to-hand and their one knight buddy who decides to wait behind hoping for some easy blood and to protect the archers. The best place to be is C or D. Being a part of group A is going to get you killed fast. Group B may have some success but they will also likely die to C. Group C and D are pretty much a stalemate. So why not hang back? Why not let your buddies kill off a number of them and soften up who remains? Because instead of it coming down to you, a few buddies, vs a few of theirs; the early numbers lead due to you staying your sword now means that the enemy will outnumber your allies in every small engagement. This means by the time they finish off your buddies, you're looking at fighting 2:1 or 3:1 odds. Learn the sweet spot.

113 hours later 19439443 Anonymous
>>19438967 MAA is an outstanding class, no doubt. A dueling god. I have had pretty good success against them as a Maul knight. I don't try to use a shield against MAA because they can simply strafe around it. Also, I can't rave enough about the Maul. It takes a shitload of timing to know exactly how to use it. Yeah, anyone can have marked success in populated rounds by rolling in and swinging at the flanks. But in duels, you really got to know your wind-ups. Nothing is more exciting than dueling a solid MAA or vanguard. Usually they can kick-stab or get a lucky parry/combo. But all it takes is one fuck up and they're mine. Also, most knights don't realize this, but your swing extends beyond the range of your screen AND hooks around shields. If you see an MAA spamming block try a two-combo sideswipe. Miss the left to right swing by inches and then step into them for the right to left. Here's the key: walk past them, keeping them on your left. Your maul will hurtle backwards towards them. Usually this catches them A) if they try to swing, your combo'd swing is already wound and will hit first and you can afford the trade. or B) they're still spamming block and will eat the maul to the side of the face. if they are very fast they can sidestep the entire thing, though. So be aware. And it will be difficult to do the smae thing twice.

That same knight will eat a spear stab and knock the vanguard's head off. Then there are the archers that sit back playing with themselves doing nothing.

At that point the guard should switch to his secondary and parry the inevitable killing blow.

>>19439443 Yea pretty much the reason i don't like vanguard and knight as much as MAA is that it feels like, when fighting a decent player, the amount of which you do well against the enemy depends on how much they fuck up (not blocking correctly a big one), while with MAA it's more about outplaying and outmaneuvering your opponent.

Quick guide to the classes, for new players: Archer: The ranged class. Not too good at melee. Archers have a bad reputation amongst many players, because they use ranged weapons in a melee game and often don't help much with objectives. A good archer assists his team mates and keeps enemy archers off their backs. Javelin Archers are essentially a class of their own. When using javelins, remember that you can do melee attacks; thrust, and shield bash. A skilled jav archer is surprisingly dangerous in melee combat. Man at Arms: The light, fast class. This class requires a high minimum skill level to be played effectively. When playing MaA you need to rely on your agility, getting hit even once is often a death sentence. Double tap a WASD key to dodge. Vanguard: Vanguards use long, powerful weapons and can use special charge attack. Though popular with new players, I don't recommend you use this class as at the start. If you aren't careful, you'll do shitloads of team damage, you should be comfortable with the combat system before you run head first into a battle. A good vanguard knows how to use his range to his advantage. Vulnerable to ranged and piercing weapons. Knight: The "tank" class. This is the melee class I recommend you start off with. The high health pool and great variety in weapon types makes this class great to learn the mechanics with. This is by no means a noob class though, and a good knight player is formidable and respectable.

>>19437528 >Knight: maul/warhammer It's kind of easy to see why people get frustrated with you then. People who learn the timing of the maul real well pretty much play like assholes, it's just the playstyle that it requires, not to mention that many times it kills in a single hit. >Vanguard: zwei/halberd/brandistock zwei and halberd are the most devastating weapons in the Vanguard arsenal, no surprise you're using them. >MAA: war axe/norse sword >norse sword No further comment required, I already don't like you. I'm not being butthurt about this, I learned to use maul and norse sword fairly well and pretty much became unstoppable, but then I realized that they pretty much *aren't* balanced yet and I started using other wepons.

Is there a good way to block in third person?

117 hours later 19448141 Anonymous
>>19446685 Nope. It's the price you pay for the shitty unrealism you've chosen. Playing this game in 3rd person is almost as dishonorable as when two knights (let's say 2 of the remaining 3 people) are having a duel in a corner of the map and a fucking archer runs in to shank the kill.

I'm liking this game so far. It seems pretty balanced. Experience with the Age of Chivalry and other 'melee' games like AvP2 has given me an edge as a newbie, but every class comes across as easy to learn, hard to master. Except the archer. I'll run into 1 good archer for every 15 shitty ones.

>>19451198 A fellow completionist / autist here. Trying to unlock everything for archers is hell. I can't reliably get kills with the bow. I can hit people but then they immediately wise up and hide / shield / start a crazy pattern that makes it impossible to kill them as I need to hit them two more times to kill them. It's really making me frustrated. I just want to unlock the war bow for the archer that I will never ever use.

Tks happen a lot, as long as you apologize afterwards it's all good. Though once in team objective I was made king, much to my surprise. Had this one teammate just wailing on me while the other team came in. I killed him and the other team several times but there's not much one can do when he kept respawning next to me and my other teammates did nothing to protect their king.

Okay so I bought this game, and decided "Hey, I kind of want to try playing Archer again. Yeah! I'm going to do that" And I have found that I still cannot hit things for shit. Probably doesn't help that I have picked the Javelin to try that out either. I have determined that the projectile for the Javelin, is kind of wonky, as it seems to come out of the side of the crosshair, rather then on it, so I get situations where I try throwing a Javelin at someones face, and it sort of misses them by an inch and I get stabbed in the face because I am playing an archer in close range.

>>19454214 I find blocking much easier in 3rd person, ESPECIALLY when blocking hammer-type weapons or pesky MAA facehuggers. It's frustrating seeing peoples attacks seemingly go straight through your blocks in first person, but in third person it becomes more apparent why you aren't blocking the attacks. As for aiming your own attacks, I've noticed the crosshairs on third person are actually off center compared to first person. Just torn-banner being dicks I guess. You get used to it after awhile though.

>>19462880 I consider spears and polearms my speciality. They do good damage, have the longest reach, and some of them are pretty fast. Some MAAs will try to facehug you, thinking they're safe up close but timely parries, kicks, and thrusts make short work of them even at super close ranges. You're faster than a knight and have a longer reach and usually a faster weapon too, meaning you can control the fight if it's a 1 on 1 encounter. The only times I feel threatened are when I'm going against a really good MAA, or when I'm being charged by a crow of anything. Even then you can usually take one enemy out before they have a chance to surround you.

Good range management and you can easily be out of swing range but in poke range, they'll parry and try to hit you but you are out of range and can stab them. The two different thrusts are neat too, one has longer range but slower and one shorter range but faster. It can mess up your opponents timing sometimes. Just never use the charge attack.

>>19464679 Spears do damage just below polearms. Someone on here posted a doc with the damage info for all the weapons, check it out yourself.

>>19487130 Here's what you do to not suck. Trust me, I did this and I didn't suck. Play a knight. Get a warhammer and a kite shield. Block ranged attacks, line of sight their attacks. When someone attacks you, block it. Aim your block towards where they swing at you. If it's an M1 attack, which in most cases it will be, block to your left. After that, give them a taste of your M1. Hell, even combo it into another one if you feel brave. Sometimes you'll come across a skilled player that will wreck you. Don't get discouraged, keep practicing. Eventually, after enough kills with the warhammer, you'll unlock the maul. This is where the fun begins. Overhead smash pretty much one shots everyone. Let someone run up to you, chances are they're retarded and if you wind up an overhead smash while they're running into you, they'll run right into it. Especially vanguards who do that stupid charge attack that gets them killed 99% of the time. They'll land face first into your hammer and their head will explode. If you get into trouble, whip out your flanged mace and kite shield and whip the shit out of people with the protection of a shield.

I dunno how common knowledge it is, I mentioned it in another thread. But on Stoneshill as Agatha, if you're on a ballista when the Masons destroy the gate, and stay on it, you won't get warped inside like you usually do. Be sure to stay on it for at least 15 seconds to be safe. Then you can hop off as you please. While it's not perfect, you can generally get a few people as they spawn with the ballista. Oil can hurt too but it usually doesn't do much. The tunnels that lead up there are blocked off so you're safe from most things. If you want, you can just jump down and melee or go to the catapult. Or anything, it's just neat. Another antic, as Mason on Hillside, is to stay behind after the pyre is lit. Go hide somewhere, and then attack Agatha as they spawn. Of course, once you die, you can't get back there again. You can also stay behind as Agatha on Darkforest after the sluice gates open. There aren't many opportunities like this on Battlegrounds. If you know any other tricks, post them please.

Why do I feel as if there is no depth to this game? I mean, I like it as I like M&B but, I feel myself going back to M&B more often. Even though my first 'medieval' game was the original Age of Chilvary. Perhaps there's no campaign is why I dislike it, regardless, if there was something to entice me to keep playing it, I would. Perhaps DLC.

Hi there! Rank 30 here. If I'm fighting someone, please don't lunge between me and my enemy while I'm in the middle of fighting them. And please don't run in wildly spamming m1. If you want to help, keep a safe distance from my enemy, try to flank him, and get in a stab or overhead. Otherwise, just let me fight him. I can 1v1 him just fine, and there is probably an open enemy somewhere trying to take our objective you could be fighting instead. And remember, if you are teaming up on someone and your weapon has long range, it may travel through the enemy and hit your buddy on the other side. So distance yourself accordingly!

Man, Vanguard needs some fixing. His primary weapons are nice, but there are no bludgeoning options. His secondary weapons are the archers short stuff (seriously?) and the Man at Arms axes, which are pretty good, but again not bludgeoning. He has no shield, so all these weapons are somewhat pointless, as in any situation you're using these, the class you're fighting has Equal or better options plus and/or speed. Special category is throwing axes and knives like everyone else, and a smoke pot that does nothing. Charges are barely more powerful than regular attacks, much more stamina draining and leave you wide open. I still have fun with the class, and do well enough, but I'm wondering why everything except for the primary weapons is crap , especially when other classes get nice primaries and alternative things to enjoy. Also, exhausted status does fuck all. You can still block, and even though you get "dazed", every blocked attack sends you flying so that you constantly avoid getting hit. Think you can also still sprint.

>>19538920 Vanguard player here. Play mostly polearms and spears. It's all about knowing where the tip of your weapon is going to be and how long it takes to get there. Vanguards have the longest ranged melee weapons, and if you use that to your advantage you can control the fight. I get most of my kills just keeping the enemy at range and waiting for them to make a mistake. Get them to make the first move, then you can punish them if it's the wrong move. It helps to learn the swing times of the other weapons, that way you know when you have enough time to get that jab into their face without getting your head crushed. Basically play smart. With spears especially, you're like a melee sniper; every thrust should have a specific person's name on it. You don't want to go in swinging wildly, hoping you'll lop a head off.

147 hours later 19545386 MooseFang
>>19543910 If he's a shitty MAA it won't make much of a difference. They'll run at you in a straight line, swinging wildly. Easy kill. The better ones will dance around you and try and get in your face, but most don't seem to realize that the spear can hit them at point blank range too. In fact it's much harder for them to block it at that range. Just keep your view locked on them and eventually they'll get impatient and throw a swing. Parry and counter with the fast thrust attack. If you get into a parry battle, just endure as long as possible while making some distance and hope they make a mistake. As a spearman you want to be back pedaling and jockeying for position most of the time, but you need to get the timing of your thrusts down so you can charge forward just as your spear point reaches its farthest distance, and then immediately fall back again. I can't tell you how many of my kills come from some MAA or Knight charging straight at me only to get a brandistock to the face because they thought they were at a safe distance. That momentary burst toward your enemy will close an incredible distance if your time your attacks just right. If you get surrounded you're pretty much hosed. For archers, I just zig-zag and hope for the best. Throw an axe at them if you're feeling lucky.

>>19524762 >>19525278 Just use the hatchet or Dane axe. I finally got everything for vanguard, and the small swords are not very good. What I use is halberd+hatchet+fists, or spear/brandistock+hatchet+fists. It's not like I ever hit anyone with the throwing axes, except for people fleeing. Vanguard, I find, is the easiest class to play, once you get the footwork down. Only thing that gets me is archers, and skilled MaA's.

147 hours later 19546250 Anonymous
>>19543910 For MAA, stay as far away as you can from them. Always combo your swing if it misses with the shortest windup attack you have. Don't go forwards when attacking, go backwards. Your goal is to make them not get close enough for a dodge in, stab, dodge out. You want to make them miss and hit them with your second combo hit. For spears? They'll more than likely get up close to you to try and hit you during your windup as their dodge range isn't as far as your spear range. can't do much about that. Pull out your secondary and try to get into a parry battle. Javelins you are 100% fucked. Not only can they rape you from range, but they can rape you in melee too.

Or maybe it is just me who isn't accustomed to it - Regardless, I do just fine with the clay, only have some minor trouble with 1h hammer/shield knights as faints are useless and they're able to turtle quite well, most of them drop to two jumped ohs' at least.

If you want to be OP'ed with as little skill required as possible go vanguard with ANY spear(brandistock is preferable) and spam mousewheel down while keeping maximum distance from people. If they rush in to get close just kick them away but even up close mousewheel down or up works very well.

I just lost all my will to play this game, got outclassed so fucking hard. I stood absolutely no chance against this guy.. He was using a pole arm yet his attacks connected so fast, faster than I could react sometimes. He parried all of my hits with no problem where as his swings/overheads went straight through mine, it just did. not. work. He didn't fall for more than a couple feints out of tenfolds either. I don't want to play this anymore, I got bested so hard by someone who was a mere 10 ranks higher than me (39). The only excuse I can come up with is that he had ~30 ping where as I had 80 but that's never stopped me before, I don't even know... Feel like shit.

>>19525278 I'd say the one of the defining features of the Vanguard is the fact that he doesn't use a shield, something every other class can do. If I was going to change him, I'd give him some ranged secondaries, maybe javelins and crossbows. I think it fits his design as a middle ground class capable of both defense (with reach) and offense (speed and damage). Thing is, he'll still have lack luster specials, but I don't think people will care much when he gets 2 primary weapons.

>>19570590 You mean greatswords, right? Knight gets the bastard swords. Additionally, having to head shot to one hit still means it won't one hit, since lag and the charge's habit of throwing your view towards the ground means that you're never going to land a head charge except as a fluke. Worse, as you've pointed out, an overhead also one hits, meaning there isn't any point to using the charge when an overhead is safer and costs less stamina. Lastly, are you sure about your numbers? I know the google .doc has the values taken directly from the game, but I have hit archers in the chest with greatsword charges and they've still been alive. Either there are other multipliers not known yet, or lag once again is screwing Vanguard out of damage.

>>19583907 i was never a big fan of cRPG, even though my friends all forced me into it. I would spend my nights playing a game i clearly had no fun in. This game, however, is mindlessly fun. Jump in, swing your shit at someone, chop off a few heads and die gruesomely. none of that "you need 7 power strike in order to actually deal damage to someone wearing plate, you need 21 strength to be able to put that many points in power strike, you need to grind 4 characters to level 30 and retire 3 of them in order to actually have a weapon that can kill something" also the xp requirements for 29 to 30 have no business being that fucking high

Well that's a new one. I was on the ballista on Battleground, as Agatha. A Mason was trying to sneak up on me, so I turned to shoot him. And somehow shot myself.

>>19586986 Not entirely true, though most Knights do forget how huge their swing is. Whenever I'm around team mates I make sure to use thrusts or overheads that I'm sure they won't get hit by unless they run forward into them. I also sometimes switch to a one-hander so I don't have such a huge swing.

>>19587601 Whenever I see bad guys I start swingin. If little girl-classes in light armor can't take a few hits in the ruckus, then they need to learn to take a time-out while the better classes are fighting.

So, for the new thread, we've got links to the wiki, damage tables, we should choose a good basic and advanced tutorial too. Anything else we'd want?

Does anyone know of an alternative to the 'onrelease' command used in UE3 games? I want to make a keybind that does something when I press and release it Normally I'd do this by putting this in the console: setbind key function | onrelease function But it does not work in Chivalry

I wish you could set your defaults. It's annoying to click 4 times every class change
