Still not working, come on now.

I'm finding the axe to be pretty good. If you need to parry a lot take buckler.

Lots of players are having this problem right now

When you kill the ballista that defends the explosives cart in Taiga it respawns in what seems like 15 seconds. This is way too fast considering how powerful it is for defending the cart. Please give this the normal respawn time so that when you strategically destroy it it actually makes a difference. Even when I spam smoke to provide cover it doesn't limit the ballista too much.

I'd like to see a perk where you can switch weapons quickly, especially after throwing. This wouldn't increase attack speed between thrown rocks, knives, axes, etc, simply let you ready the next weapon you are carrying before some dude punishes you for throwing.

Trebuchets on Camp should not one hit kill. It is random and it sucks. If it did 99 damage I'd be fine with that.

Nah I'm good thanks

Sure, there will be many people who just use voice to talk shit. They can be muted or kicked/banned if they are too offensive. Some amount of shit talking is fine with me. Keeping chat to just your team limits a lot of the trolling, plus I really like the idea of making push to talk mandatory as well as limiting talking time.

I admire your desire to encourage teamplay and communication, but its like... giving a kid a magnifying glass to see bugs better up >close and expecting there not to be a bunch of burnt bug corpses in the yard a day later.

How are players going to learn? I say give them just enough rope to hang themselves and see what they do. Bad analogy, but still. Inclusion is way better than trying to segregate people on the internet. Look at these mass shooters coming from the far corners of the internet. If people called them on their bullshit regularly do you think they would be so extreme?

The voice commands are not that hard XD theres help me, yes, no, attack, retreat, hold here. WTF more else do you need?
VOIP in games have turned people into terrible players who don't know what to do unless someone is shouting orders at them XD

It makes them terrible players? What do you base that on? My understanding is that people learn with experience.

Its almost like people didn't read the OP before objecting....

As an experiment I made a mercenary that has a billhook and toolbox to throw up spikes. Very effective against cavalry. The trouble is the rest of the team who get caught with their pants down.

Lately I am using the billhook (because screw horses) and Estoc. Short or long spear is also great, depending on how many points you can spare.

Where is voice chat? I don't want to memorize 50 keyed commands to communicate with my team, plus that kind of interaction is very limited. I have been asking around while playing and guess what? People on public Front line are not using Discord. Public games would be so much better if you could communicate through voice with your team. Any game I've played with voice has been made better by being able to coordinate with my team. As someone new to the game, and the game itself is new, there are also opportunities to connect with other players and try to coordinate play.

Trying to take objectives, deal with people infiltrating your base, etc just work better and make the game superior with voice. I don't feel like I need to hear the other team voice chat and the idea of proximity chat is a little weird to me when the main point is I want to talk to my team.

Obligatory acknowledgement of objections:

"But people say bad things to me!" Mute exists. Moderation sometimes exists. Vote kick exists.
"But I think it ruins the aesthetic of the game" See point number one.
"But this topic has been discussed before and I don't like it." Too bad, it is still a problem for people on public servers who want voice chat
