super slow on making new maps, and it was just a trend for a little bit and then became less popular like all trends.

They did eventually add female characters but which for that month spiked the player count back up but by that point the game was dead for years already so it was back down within weeks.

It was actually the opposite. They spent too much time catering to casuals when the game wasn't made to be casual. Even after the casuals left they still catered to them and did nothing for the competitive players. Turns out a game with a high skill ceiling doesn't work well when the devs focus on huge team battles that pit 1000+ hour players against noobs.

No fucking content and dogshit mod support, even now. Chivalry had a fuckton of absolutely enormous, diverse maps with diverse objectives, meaning different gameplay every time, AND fantastic mod support. You could play all week and see certain maps only once or twice, because there was so much variety.

6 years after release mordhau now has 9 "large" maps, with several of those being super linear and cramped. They wasted tons of time and effort on their stupid horde mode, ranked mode, a bunch of duel and deathmatch maps no one but sweaty losers cares about, etc. And the mod support is fucking dogshit, they hyped it up a ton but its ass, could have saved the game but the devs probably neutered it out of spite because they didnt want to get outcompteted.

It also had a fantastic community that they completely butchered. When Mordhau launched the chats genuinely felt like the old internet, everyone was completely free in what they said, slurs were thrown, trash was talked, but everyone was having FUN. Then like 3 or 4 fags bitched about it so they clamped down on chat and added hideous women fighters that completely ruin the immersion.

The core gameplay is fantastic, the customization, weapon/armor variety etc, all great. At launch it really did feel like a spiritual successor to Chivalry, but they did fuckall for post launch support and completely shit on their community for talking trash and having fun like they did in Chivalry. Upsetting.

Is Chiv 2 any good?

chiv 2 doesn't play like chiv 1. It has better player retention because it's more accessible and has better maps, but it's basically a party game

Turncaps are a bandaid solution to a problem that should have been remedied properly, turncaps shouldn't be a thing.
Attack arcs should be committed to at the start of the swing*. If you want to hit at the start or end of the swing, you do it during the windup, with limited manipulation coming from footwork that would let you have a bit of accel/drag during the swing itself.
There's also nothing gayer than "lightsaber" hits where the sword is held almost stationary as it's being dragged but still does damage.
*With the swing itself being locked in, you should be allowed to turn your camera as quickly as you please to "look around" and not have the game feel like shit because your view sensitivity is constantly in flux.

The main reason Chiv 2 took over is because of crossplay and gamepass. Player population matters way more in any multiplayer game then how good or balance it is. If ques in any game take longer than 5-10 minutes, I drop it and stop playing the game. I consider it a dead game at that point.

When I played it a long time ago, the game was just completely unbalanced. Busted weapons like the Maul would dominate basically every server with their ridiculous one-shots and range. There was also 3rd person in the game for some reason, and the moment I tried it, my survivability went way up. You were actually at a massive disadvantage if you didn't use it. I also think there was quite a few cheaters using auto-block hacks or something because you'd see a guy fighting like 4 people barely suffering damage (if any) and just constantly perfect blocking and parrying every attack (I've forgetten the exact mechanics) and even if you snuck up from behind while they were fighting, they'd still turn around and insta-parry all of your attacks and eventually just one shot you along with everyone else.

Renown is coming out this fall which will be Rust but Mordhau. Ad Mortem alpha hopefully next year but it's 5v5 comp. Fiefdom next year and it'll be big team battles and looks like Mordhau but with magic attacks. There's some others but they either look cancelled or little is known about them

I think the issue is kinda that the first person melee genre is like, inherently ass and unpopular?

The thing people always whip out is "ooo you have to fight like a ballerina I don't want to learn tech" but if the game doesn't have mix, it's shit. swing manipulation is what differentiates slashers from something like for honor, and if swing manipulation doesn't give you mix, the game is going to suck to sink your teeth into into in any kind of way. in Chiv you end up with a game where both guys are just swinging into the other dude's guard hoping the other guy makes a mistake because that's the only way you're getting an opening- and even made so bad for "serious" play, it's still not raking in huge playercounts.

>tl;dr nobody has figured out how to make chiv-based slashers both genuinely fun to play and accessible without compromising the genre entirely and turning it into some other thing

only if everyone else in the server is a noob.

i actually hate it how the skill pool on this game actually collapses in this situation because the attacks just lack variety.
if you're fighting 2+ pros lets say you have perfect parry, even then progress would be very slow because you would have to guess which bait works best for the 2 and somehow time it perfectly. it is basically not possible at all, and if it is, then either one of them isn't as skilled as you, or not skilled in group fights at the very least, because that's the only way you can turns things around.

i'd like to play whatever game you guys were playing, because it sure as hell wasn't mordhau.
every single match i've ever played in this game was an endless stalemate where nobody could break through the other team's defenses until the respawns ran out.
i never played a similar game and i was consistently in the top half or even top 25% of the scoreboard.
i personally found the game to be too defensive, i rarely seen people winning true 1v1 because blocking everything was too easy
you needed to 2v1 people to kill them consistently

This is just sad reality and the reason I do not play online games a lot. Especially since most modern games still alive are modern, woke graphics slop.

mhm... thats very different from my experience, usually there were few guys on the team who would act as the spearhead, bad and normal player would gather around these players being kinda useful by getting a few kills, helping the good player by acting as another target for archer, creating a frontline so people dont sneak behind the good player and maybe helping to kill the good player in the oppsite team by sheer numbers. and eventually if whoever was the spearhead dies, the players keep advancing/defending until winning

i think i quit some time after they switched the point system from a 16 point cap to 48
i quit but not because i was getting killed constantly, as i said, it was the lack of back and forth in a match.

maybe you didnt play enough, or worse... maybe i played too much of this garbage...(pic related, i actually stopped playing around 2023~ but came back to check the new update, only to be disappointed and unistalled again). but yeah, good player would steam roll everyone until they stumble upon another good player or commit a mistake and get killed by the horde.
i remember when i would carry the match by helping my teammates survive and gathering enough numbers to start an avalanche, 1v1'ing the good players from the opposite team and winning or dying and getting send back to square 1, kinda miss it, but i am glad i am not such an addict anymore

It's a noob stomping weapon, everyone was using it to stomp noobs.
The maul is not a bad weapon but it only one-shots on headshot, it's the slowest (non-meme) weapon by far, and it has tiny range especially compared to most other two-handed weapons. It is by no means busted, except when you're running around taking unaware noobs who can't defend themselves by surprise, then it's really good for the sole reason that the one-shot allows you to run around killing them as fast as possible rather than having to waste time for two swings on each tard. That's it.

I heard some of those were apparently planning to have physics-based damage to fix drags and accells (i.e. if you make your weapon stationary it will do no damage).

>maybe you didnt play enough
i mean,understanding the general state of the match doesn't require hundreds of hours of experience.
i don't deny the good players could get a lot of kills, but that doesn't mean much if there's so many people to replace the dead it's legitimately difficult to follow up on the slaughter and capture the objective.

hell, apparently i have a 16 killstreak record.

i don't much care for certain players killing a lot of people. i barely noticed it because with so many players it's hard to take note of a single dude

No good official duelling mode for actually learning the combat, I spend my first 10 hours in frontline and was doing NOTHING, then I spent the next 50 hours in duel servers and I felt like I was actually able to learn the game, then I was able to play wherever and actually fight people

So to be clear, you stated:

Turns out, there is absolutely no SBMM to be found in Mordhau. No John, you are the retard.

The reason why this is annoying is because these games desperately need SBMM to help player retention. The only people that are against SBMM are mid-tier players like you that get off on stomping literal 5 hour Andies, meanwhile actual top players (like me) can stomp in any server. Stay small

The thing about multiplayer melee games everyone needs to understand, is that real life swordfights are determined by:
1 - Physical strength
2 - Full body agility and dexterity
3 - Stamina
4 - Quick thinking

1, 2, and 3 don't translate into video games in a fun way - how do you represent physical strength, do you make the player do bench press minigames for 10 hours prior to a swordfight? How do you represent dexterity when the only part of the body the player can use is their hand?

So that only leaves quick thinking and a little dexterity as what decides who wins a video game swordfight.
But due to the latency of online multiplayer, there's a cap on how much "quick thinking" you can put into a game. If players need to be able to react to an attack in 0.2 seconds, you have a game that's unplayable for anyone with anything but perfect ping.

So the only way to inject skill into a melee multiplayer game is to create situations where players can trick each other into parrying at the wrong time. Like what >>712605638 is complaining about.
Things like weird morph feint drags can be overcome by skill, but casuals don't want to git gud, so instead they focus on how it looks weird as an argument for why it shouldn't exist.

This is why melee vidya will ALWAYS be stuck somewhere between "weird looking unrealistic fights" and "skill-less stat checks", until someone invents a VR holodeck with force feedback.
Mordhau and Mount and Blade are the two games to strike the best compromise between weird-looking, and fun and skillful.
Chivalry 2 and For Honor are examples of what happens when you try too hard to look realistic (although For Honor didn't really accomplish that either), and get dumbed down gameplay as a result.

Either soft matchmaking means something completely different to what you're trying to argue, or their devlogs have completely conflicting statements to their intentions (this isn't a good thing btw), so I don't know what your point here is overall. Maybe you just like rimming the ass of your dogshit game's devs. The devlog was, in pretty plain English, arguing AGAINST any form of skill based matchmaking because it's controversial, and was back then, too. I don't give a fuck what your trooncord says. That's not how the game was revealed.

For example in a real swordfight you might be able to twist your torso to avoid a stab quicker than you can sidestep, or flick your wrist to throw their weapon out of their hand.
But when you've only got the player's hands for WASD, space, CTRL, F, one broad arm movement, and three mouse buttons, it's not practical to represent all the movements the human body can do with hundreds of muscles.

this type of melee combat just isn't good and leads to some really autistic gameplay

Mordhau was fun when it was beginner vs beginner and intermediate vs intermediate. The game's combat system stops shining the moment the players figure out the areas where you can stretch the animation system's rules and then abuse the shit out of it. Sadly over the years all the great players remained, all the good players remained great, and everyone below that either got good or left the game because it got too difficult. Now the game isn't fun anymore when you're either playing against a miserable newbie who's tired of getting his teeth kicked in, or a veteran who can move like it's the matrix and it feels like you're trying to catch smoke with your hands when fighting them.

The playerbase got good enough to optimize the fun out of everything and abuse the system's flaws. Also the game has barely gotten any proper content since launch, and most of the content it got is crap. Game's lifespan could've been a lot longer if it hadn't essentially been abandoned a few months after release.

single player slop, only games that withstood multiplayer competition can claim to have solid gameplay. Mordhau is unfortunately the best so far

it's fun to mess around with, but when it comes to actual sword to sword combat it's not really good at all, borders on straight up bad
especially now we have better melee games, dark messiah really pales in comparison

Nothing was wrong, it just lived its life. Ultimately I stopped playing because anything but duels is painful because not even "good" players understand spacing and flanking in a team fight, making your allies the hardest enemies to overcome and turning a 1v2 into a 1v3. From blocking your attacks, to kiting enemies away from you, to vanishing like a black father, I have never gotten so mad at my teammates as I did in Mordhau to the point where I realized my hair was gray enough and uninstalled.

They need to make a new game. Hopefully fucking singleplayer so people can git gud at swing manipulation and shit before going into multiplayer, bitching about how hard the game is to play, and uninstalling. And also for my own mental health. I also like first person medieval games that I don't need to sweat over.

Multiplayer games that arent the mainstream always die. It was fun. I also liked Chiv2 when it was active.

Id like to see Chiv2 combat in a game like MnB, I actually dont like the combat in that game at all compared to Chiv and Mordhau, I think stamina and Chivs stuff like tackles and crawling around makes hte combat feel more like a fight and less like action figures rotating at the waist to swing.

just crouch and look down/up

Ive always wonder why there isnt a game that is just the Full Invasion mod but fleshed out. I want to play with 30 people against tides of enemies with this kind of combat.

Compfags, their precious meta and their delusions of winning big in major esports tourneys got prioritised over map development and weapon/animation balance.
I'm glad the Torn Banner devs just threw the compfags a duelyard map and told them to fuck off in favour of team objective play.

if anything, mordhau devs never listened even once to compfags (or casuals). ranked ladder is full of cheaters, the most popular competitive maps are barebone testmaps made by compfags that look worse than half-life 1 deathmatch maps, and compfags have been complaining about the state of mordhau since release.
the main problem is still that mordhau devs don't care about the community at all, they just want to play their own medieval game with three dozens of their most zealous haters.
