The only reason why I'm not playing is because they're not balancing anything. Why play a game where I get a little angry because of unbalanced bullshit?

i mean, they're balancing kicks...

I'd assume they can fix dwindling player population it by fixing what needs to be fixed. Just keep poking @crushed with a pointy stick until either he dies or he fixes the things that need fixing.

Maby we should put guns in the game

this might help

@Frise said:
Are you not capable of logical thinking? The hype of alpha release is gone for most people, and they have shit to do and games to play. That doesn't mean the game is dying.

And the combat isn't broken, you just completely fail to understand it, and complain about every fucking thing that kills you. Grow up please.

all i've done is ask a question. And you got awfully mad. Why is that?

@Sir Zombie said:
And what you are saying is an opinion
There aren't a lot of people playing because there aren't a lot that can play

i agree, but you look at any of the player number monitoring programs, mordhau is slowly declining. wont be much development with only 10 people playing

Combat is stale and whether some players like it or not. completely broken.

I know most people and ppl from chiv are going to rage hearing this. But facts are facts.

Right, so you want shield to work like in chivalry, where they made you parry box huge so that not only you couldn't delay-drag or feint a shield, user, you also couldn't do any sidedrag against a half-competent shield player. Thus, fighting against shields was literally just riposting them until they ran out of stamina.

Goes to show what kind of game you want.

or you could have the shield degrade as its hit like every other event game out right now.

All you want is to be able to 1080 spin no scope back hit warp through the ground. So i don't get your high ground attitude but you're being a bit of a shit head to everyone that disagrees with you. Stop the elitist attitude and actually look at things objectively.

This shouldn't be allowed to happen - it's this sort of bullshit that ruined Chivalry. Can you learn to react to these kind of drags? Sure, but do we really want the combat in Mordhau to look like this? I understand that drags are valuable to keep the combat varied and constantly evolving, but this doesn't look like a melee fight - and isn't that what the developers said they were going for?

Ask 90% of the people on this forum if thats what they want... yes it is

its sad, they just want a new looking chiv

I've noticed this a lot with 1 handers, While 2 handers can miss but you can "WATERFALL" it back in 1 handers can literally go right through someone and not land.

Ducked it?

@Runagate said:
He did what @Frise said. Look, not everything that kills you that you can't deal with right away is bad for the game.

think about what you're saying logically.... You're saying a swing that misses should be able to then be moved down after it already passes your body to still connect... That's what you're saying

Misses his left to right swing. But still lands it after on the far right side?

I won't take that into consideration because you're rude.

that means nothing

this is intentional, shield needs to have SOME downside.

The downsides of using a shield are already rather clear. Less range, as you're restricted to a one-hander, and therefore stunted ability of fighting more than one opponent. Kicks stunning you with ridiculous ease atm.

As a regular shield user, I have to somewhat agree with the OP. There won't be much point in using them unless something is changed.

they only have a slightly longer (maybe .5 second if that) delay after putting it up compared to a whiffed parry. Otherwise they are far defensively superior than just parrying since they can RIPOSTE unlike in chiv AND you can hold the block. Their downside should be the fact that you are stuck with 1 handers.

With all the advantages they have, complaining about their downsides just seems ludicrous, since I think the devs are planning to nerf them as we speak.

a half second is an eternity in a game like this

Yeah, one of my biggest complaints is the effectiveness of some "drags".. most people on the forums seem to think it's not an issue unfortunately

@Frise said:

Are you part of the dev team?

Plz and ty.

i realize ideally this is true. but I am spamming left click trying to get an attack off, would be interesting to test this more i guess to get a definitive answer.

if u just dont use a shield then u wont have this problem

Great advice on how to fix the game. we need more ppl like u
