Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

As far as I could tell when it comes to blocking, the way you are facing is a big determination on how well it will block or if it will block at all. But I have thought that sometimes my blocks weren't happening, when they should have. Just always thought I was being bad at it lol.

You have to center the enemy's weapon on your screen (the tip of it i think?) when it connects to your shield. That's what the tutorial said anyway.

Hopped into a private duel server and got a 26 man bracketed tournament going over a live stream. Was tons of fun, we were all different skill levels, and seeing the 2 fighters do the occasional fist fight to the death is hilarious.

been stuck on retrieving servers for like half hour, this happening to anyone else? restarted steam and such.

This issue would happen quite often for me. Never figured out how to fix it. Would just stop playing for the day and when I played next it would work.

Also had troubles with after selecting a server to go to, it wouldn't load and then the server list would not refresh without quitting and reopening the game.

I had that problem several times but restarting my PC seemed to fix it each time. I think the server browser actually crashes my router. I've seen this happen with Dayz's server browser (commander) too. something to do with it using too many connections or something.

In other news, I can't seem to get any better at this game. I'm never very sharp with "shooters" (term used loosely for Chivalry) but I usually see a net and quick progression in my skills in the first dozen hours. I'm roughly 1:1 on my KDR and have not gotten better since day 1. And 1:1 is not "decent for a noob" when you know I pick my fights fairly carefully and get a good quarter of these kills by circling and stabbing people in the back when they're busy running or fighting someone else.

Anyway. Any other tips (playing vanguard with the 3rd sword atm mostly) would be welcome.

If you are using big slow ass Zweinhander you need to pretend to run away and then quickly do a 180 either overhand or horizontal attack into a thrust just start the swing before you after you are turning, catches people off guard for a few easy kills before they catch on at least.

Or go spear and just spam wheel down attacks while back peddling, only the best of man at arms can get close to you.

Nice new patch.

They must have heard my ruminations towards the lack of customization because they added a semblance of it in the latest patch.

I think I have logged enough hours to ask why in the blue fucking hell would anyone ever not play a two hander in team objective maps? I can see MAA being decent in duels or small, close quarter situations. But that shit just does not happen in Team Objective map. If you find yourself in a 1v1 situation on a "stop the fucking corpse cart" map then you have got to have issues with your fucking daddy. You have to. Because the objective is not"wait-in-the-bush-for-7-minutes-and-ambush-(hey-realized-ambush-might-have-something-to-to-with-bush-which-totally-makes-sense)-a-guy-with-a-2-hander-who's-going-to-rape-you-anyway-and-yes-your-dada-might-have-said-that-getting-a-positive-KDR-really-is-all-that-matters-but-in-reality-when-you-come-right-down-to-it-your-daddy-said-a-whole-many-things-that-just-have-not-worked-out-for-you-and-oh-jolly-jesus-is-this-not-working-out-for-you". The objective is not -that-.

I bolded the important part.

In any case, in a game that has objectives I feel that not having a two hander does not allow me to do well in said objective. As an MAA you have less reach, which means you have to be in the melee or dancing like a girl on the outskirts of it. You also have less "arc" which basically means you can't AOE when AOE is half of the battle. And you have less damage when as a two hander vanguard you can pretty much 2-shot anything (except maybe knights?) - in your AOE arc.

I have gradually lost interest in the objective maps and began to enjoy duel maps exclusively. This is not really a rant as I have been playing a 2hander vanguard from the start. But I do wonder if my frustrations are founded - whenever I do fancy playing an MAA.

I hate the majority of 2h vanguards; they're just as liable to kill you as they are the enemy.

Don't care for Deadliest Warrior, but samurai and Spartans in my Chivalry is a very good thing.

Do want.

Still playing this and getting a lil better. I almost exclusively play duels and FFA lately. Team objectives where nobody cares about objectives got old fast.

I like the multi-team map idea from that video. Sounds like FFA with just a little less FFA in it.

hard as fuck, is this going to be like an expansion? or a full price game? i heard expansion.

So the new DLC came out with 5 new types of warriors. Pretty fun overall and the gameplay feels much improved. I love that ninja's yell is "Shhhhh".

Unfortunately, game is still buggy as fuck like the original. Sometimes you won't get xp, game crashes randomly, servers can bug out at times. Though when you can play, its really fun.

It's a pretty fun addition to the game. While it's pretty silly right now in terms of balance, bugs, etc, the Torn Banner gents are very stand up in terms of getting fixes, patches, etc out.

Viking is beast.

sorry to necro but google isnt giving me a clear answer is this DLC free? gonna be getting my new pc soon so gonna fire this bitch back up.
