By giving it a single player campaign.

adding ranked

by killing all bards

>duelshit
By playing Frontline, as you're meant to.

parrying currently obscures the next swing windup animation, you need inhuman reaction times to do anything about it.
It's simply not fun

if you wanna duel play for honor
if you want large scale combat play mordhau

for honor 4v4 sucks ass but the 1v1 and 2v2 duels are bretty gud
mordhau dueling sucks ass but the large scale modes are chaotic and fun

>hear horse gallop sound
>sound design so shitty you can't tell which direction it is coming from
>get oneshot
fucking remove horses and it might be worth playing

For Honor 1v1 is fucking garbage

There are currently fucking THREE heroes with true good offense when it comes to killing the enemy at a decent level. Any duel that doesnt involve Warden or Berserker is boring as fucking fuck, unless you are MM trash

Is this actually a thing?

It does fuck all damage but it's a good way of flinching slower weapons.

By playing For Honor instead.

Play Exanima instead

Just play For Honor.

You can't. Fuck this unfixable fucking game. It's broken. It's done.
Lads. I'm going back to For Honor. Feel free to join me.

>I love getting rammed by a horse
How could you like horses in this game? They're almost as bad as bow users

>fighting a group, doing good
>horse fucker gallops out of nowhere and annihilates you
LOL SO FUN. But seeing as the player base has dropped from 60k to 8k I can be glad knowing it's dying already.

>all these shitters bitching
Lmao fucking git gud, the movement of high ranked players can be annoying and I dont see how it can be fun for them to play but once you get the usual timing down it is easy to parry/chamber them

Why the hell does for honor get brought up like it is even remotely similar to this game?
for honor is 50/50 rock paper scissors shit, with completely different flow and mechanics.
>they're the same becuase ther are knigggers in them XD

Get a bill hook and better headphones and horse fags are obsolete you shit fuck. Or just become a horse fag, either way stop crying like a bitch

It's a common complaint, but again the game is dying so who gives a fuck.

You must be new.

You apparently or you wouldn't be in this thread.

Bye bye shitter lol

Holy shit I can't imagine being this bad at memehau. Just fucking use a billhook and become a fucking deity astride the battlefield, you can chop, poke, and any hit from you can dismount a kn*ght and you or your team can simply stab him to death while he's still on the ground desperately trying to remember how actually play the game instead of circling the map to oneshot respawns like the Godless coward that he is.

Try playing like that against me, we will see what happens. I am level 101 by the way...

Okay
I prefer fun

people acting like they have parkinsons isnt overpowered and isnt the meta

Do you have an in-depth guide on how to play Mordhau? No, I didn't think so.

Very unrestrictive server modding tools.
Frontline is not conducive to "fun" battle scenarios and hinges on your team's use of horses/ballistae
the PVE mode is boring
Duels are fun to an extent, but get tiring and feel like the game's mechanics in a vacuum without actual game context.

The game's great at its core, but its actual modes are lackluster in a bunch of different ways and maps have huge side advantages in some cases.

The easiest way to bring hype and longevity to the game is to simply let the players do the work for the devs. let them do game mode testing amongst themselves and help them to flesh out promising modes they come up with.

I thought you were leaving? You just love to bitch, git git gud mate horses dont need to be fixed or removed, you are just shit lol.

even when 4.1 was dead people were just happy to play games regardless of how much skill you had

>Having Parkingsons is "controlling your character"

make the turn cap start during wind-up

You can never fix mordhau totally, it is built on broken and unreasonable systems, such as the bubble. The cost of stamina to be offensive, feints and morphs, means the game punishes you for being proactive if it yields no result, people are therefore going to do the highest reward plays, such as accelerating swings and doing insides so that you have to pre-empt their swing phase with a parry before they've started and so on. These accels work because there is no turn cap during wind up.

For example, I can be looking straight at a guy as I begin my overhead attack, then I can look down and off to one side so that if my attack begins, the weapon is already inside him and he'll be damaged immediately as the swing changes from wind up phase to release phase. If I'm looking straight at the guy, this risk is not there and the meta of reading whether or not I am feinting is relevant, inside attacks undo most of the game's established and intended meta, without severely re-working the bubble and damage mechanics the easiest way I can see to address this is to apply the turn cap to the wind-up phase of every attack in the game, this will make starting a wind up at eye level and at the last moment switching to an inside, much more difficult and much easier to read, as well as making it a much more committed attack, rather than something someone can threaten and then just feint at the last moment with zero risk, they'll have their eyes off their target for a much longer time to execute insides, it will take greater effort to cancel one, etc.

With insides in the game, the meta at top levels is literally limited to
>pick a weapon that can do insides
>every now and then throw an inside at your opponent

This Rhyke guy or, dkye....whatever his name is lmao sounds like a turbo virgin and his playtime confirms it. you would literally need to be playing 10 hours a day every single day since the games release to get that play time lmao.

FPS melee combat pretty much always forgot that basic shit and it turn PvP combat into some stupid-looking beyblading (which make lag and shitty hitbox ten time more visible than they would otherwise, to make things worse).

Don't. Just wait for Chiv 2 the game which is obviously going to be better.

Also, damage should be based on distance from swing apex, ex a hit at the start would NOT do the same as every other point.

Thanks for explaining the joke, retard

Spammers are extremely easily countered, chambers are very effective and kick range is still obscene against these cunts.

Never had an issue with spamming noobs in duels. Careful and calculating players however can be a pain. Defensive cunts also

Trash, just like Chivalry.

he was trying to 360 noscope

are you fucking retarded

The only bad thing about hoses in the game was the dipshit decision to have players getting touched by its hitbox even if its walking get staggered. If some stupid fucker runs into a wall and I get up in his face with a falchion he shouldn't get away unscathed simply because he pressed w and invalidated my attack.

good job user you just proved to everyone here you never played chiv and that you have less than 20 hours on mord

Reduced friendly fire being a perk reveals the game is fundamentally broken, name any other game that does this shit and it will be a mage in an RPG

oh it's chivarly 2, lmao the trailer made everything look like pure trash

Z-lock

It could be considered a balancing factor to weaken swing spam.
But the punishment is negligible to bad players.

Honestly friendly fire damage should hurt the player causing it if anything.

You dont. Let it be and wait for Chivalry 2 to come out and shit all over it.

Enjoy being the king of nothing lmao

nice meme my friend, enjoy your mod support on epic gay store, oh wait

More maps would increase my enjoyment of the game threefold. It's still a good game to boot up for laughs or while knocking back some brews and messing with loadouts but could really use some maps that aren't chokepoint nightmares

>that aren't chokepoint nightmares

I can't tell if the game is supporting teamwork or not. The mechanics seem built around dueling, but everything just boils down to overwhelming play.

Its not a bad system, but I honestly think they should focus on team counters and such.

Almost quakefag tier.
I'm sure your game will be just as dead as theirs soon enough.

Mods are a stupid meme anyway

Quakes still fun.
Probably cause it actually came with single player.

quake also takes some skill, Mordhau is just broken as fuck

Mordhau ain't bad but Chiv felt funner, it had way more good maps in it and Team Objective was legitimately one of the funnest game modes. But sadly the Mordhau devs are autistically against the idea of asymmetrical gamemodes so my options are either use their shitty matchmaking for Frontline or hit up the server browser and wave through endless waves of duel servers in hopes of finding a real Free for All server. Bigger shame that even filtering out the other gamemodes there's still no one hosting Skrimish servers, which was the second best game mode in Chiv.

>Mordhau ain't bad but Chiv felt funner

I honestly think mordhau is better. The balance feels a lot smoother, and you don't get stupid shit like people crouching and spinning for instant swings.
Also clambering fixes the feint faggotry.

Only problem is the infinite parry shit.

People have already made custom maps.

I don't even play Frontline all that much anymore, but more maps wouldn't hurt. I like making mercs so I'd really enjoy more weapons/armors a lot, especially middle eastern themed ones. The combat is great, but they really need to change those unreadable animations with the eveningstar.

Unironically optimistic

Oh no I agree Mordhau is mechanically a better game. Hell most of my fond memories of Chiv are from the earlier part of the game's life span before everyone learned how to break the game. My only complaint mechanically about Mordhau is bows don't feel quite right and shields don't feel as fun as they were in Chiv. I just like the maps and gamemodes in Chiv way better.

Did they ever fight

Go ahead and link to one that is playable, and not waiting on mod tools to release since they literally cannot complete their maps without mod tools

kicking is retarded, it shouldnt just give you an auto free hit against a shield user, let it drain stam or something

>implying doing a fucking 360 was a viable move in chiv

Youre thinking of when players would aim to your left or right so they could hit you with the beginning or end of the swing to trip your parry timing up. Doing a spin when you attack didnt really give you an advantage in chiv.

>wants to nerf the kick more
get fucked shieldcuck

Kicking is the only thing saving us from retard parry and shield spamming.

Whatever they do, they need to make the maps more balanced.
Red team always wins on Crossroad, Blue always wins on Grad. It sucks ass.

So how come no one gave two shits about shields in Chiv but everyone loathes them in Mordhau?

Attached: 1547147919424.jpg (512x512, 151K)

Chiv had a stronger stamina drain I think.
They also had them limited to two classes which had drawbacks.
you can also raise shields obscenely quickly in mordhau and the balance for them is an afterthought. Taking them is never a drawback in itself. The only drawbacks are the point costs. Which is why you get stupid shit like full plate dudes catching up to unarmored dudes.

It used to have more mechanics for team fighting but they were cut before launch since they were too difficult or confusing for casual players.

>The only drawbacks are the point costs. Which is why you get stupid shit like full plate dudes catching up to unarmored dudes.
Is that chase mechanic that powerful?

>Is that chase mechanic that powerful?

yes. Its fucking retarded.

more stamina drain when you blocked
couldn't riposte off a shield block
much smaller and more accurate parry box, so you could actually sidestep a shield and hit them around it
bastard swords did less damage 1 handed (if I remember right, almost never used shields in my 1.2k hours)
kicks had much further range
obstructed much more of your vision in first person than they do in mord

That's silly, especially the main game mode that'd even come into play is Frontline and everyone already uses armor for that anyway because of the inate advantage of being bulkier in that clusterfuck gamemode

Like I said, the only downside is the point cost.

Now they have more experience (and also more money). I'm cautiously optimistic.

Shields were comparatively weak in Chiv because raising your guard with them was slower than a parry, and they lost more stamina when blocking. Their only real purpose was to block archers who were way more powerful. In any fight, they were more detrimental than beneficial overall.

In Mordhau, shields are more "generic" in that they can block any attack as soon as you right click, and they can hold their block all day to effectively ignore almost all of the swordfighting mechanics. The stamina lost by blocking with a shield is almost exactly the same as parrying with any weapon, so the Heater and Kite aren't suffering on that front either (for example, where parrying with a weapon would lose 11 stamina, the Heater would lose 12).

Because they can negate the entire swordplay aspect of the game by just blocking, you have to wail on them a dozen times to just barely "win" the battle of attrition in stamina (and fighting a shield user means almost ALWAYS having a stamina drain exchange)... except they then just drop the shield and instantly recover a bit of stamina, meaning they win anyway.
Because the hold Shields have just as effective a parry area as anything else, trying to "get around them" is next to impossible unless they for some reason decide to stop looking your way.
Even with the contrived added mechanic of a Kick having extra range exclusively against a shield, a shield-user can almost always still backpedal faster than you can perform a kick.

Mordhau Shields aren't even that good; they just make a fight unbelievably boring, you're literally hitting a wall for half a minute before you can actually fight the person on the other side.

Sheild + Man at Arms = Master Race

>low on stamina/health
>dodge out of range
>regen

>archers just watch you run up to them, i guess they try to shoot you

It was a lot of fun. The sheilds block-box was also retarded huge.

Good shit, even better to fick with people with the axe. Bummer that Mordhaus dodge is ass and there's no archers to bully anymore.

Make anyone who complains about it fuck off back to Chivalry, continue to enjoy the ridiculousness of horses and engineers.

Mordhau's Dodge is ass. It either needs to go down to costing only two points (and/or cost less stamina) or cover a lot more fucking distance. You can simply turn and sprint out of the way further in less time with no stamina cost than you could move with Dodge's stumpy little stamina-sucking slides.

>Now they have more experience (and also more money)
that worked well for their magic chivalry spinoff
I'm sure they also had layoffs and chivalry 2 won't even compare to the first game

It's the opposite for For Honor. The 1v1 skill cieling is so low that they become staring contests where the first person to attack loses once you get out if wood leauge. Offense is so trash because everything in the game is so reactable while also modeling the mechanics after fighting games. 4v4s are fun though.

refund it
game is boring

Add some new fucking content. I like the game but jesus christ there's only 5 maps, and one of them is literally one of the worst multiplayer maps I have ever had the displeasure of playing on.

Send the entire playerbase on a barge to the middle of the ocean so they can be racist shitbags to each other, and be separated from polite society

The problem is that it can quickly become very obnoxious if it gets buffed and you use it with a long weapon.
We need some kind of system that limits certain perks to weapon and armor tiers so you can buff underperforming perks or combine perks into one.
Dodge shouldn't be usable with heavy armor or long weapons.
You shouldn't be able to use bloodlust with t3 armor and run retarded 3/3/3 builds without a weapon.
Just turn it into a perk system with points separate from your loadout cost.
Heavy armor or weapons simply limit your perk choices by allowing 3 points at the lowest equipment tier down to only one when you load up on heavy arms and armor.
Perks costing either 1 or 2 points depending on power.

bards only mode called battle of the bands

Doesn’t need fixing.

Add duels and small team deathmatch (or something of the sort). The current gamemodes are not fun and that's the main problem.

I'm all for a good and reworked version of Frontline that turns it into less of a shitfest.

I played For Honor it's fucking shit. The only fun thing in that game is pushing people off cliffs or into spikes (admittedly, that is quite fun)

I really wish that you could hold a parry for a large drain in stamina, sorta how the parry shield works but even worse on your stamina. I fucking cannot stand when I'm in a fight and I get stabbed/hit in a flawless unison that makes it so my parry only stops one attack and I'm absolutely fucked. Maybe make it so you can hold your block with most weapons, but only the initial well timed block will allow you to preform a riposte. Then make it so the smaller weapons like the cleaver and dagger can only parry, and cannot hold a block up.

idk just spitballing, there does absolutely need to be a weight limit. I'm getting really sick of the 3/3/3 Bloodlust Zweihander faggots.

You have no idea how badly I want this to be good.

Tower Shield + Norse Sword as Agatha Knight spamming his more heroic voice lines in battle was insanely fun. You were tanky as fuck but could still shit out damage with stabs. My favorite Chivalry memory is forming a tower shield wall with 7 randoms infront of the caves hiding the Agathian royal family on TO, we piled Mason bodies so high in front of the line that my FPS started to shit itself.
