1st impressions:
the combat itself is good
1- blocking is simple (much more easier than in m&b), timing swings, predicting inertia is more difficult
classes are unbalanced
2- maybe i'm not able to play them all at the same level, but 2h knight with longsword imo pwns everyone
multiplayer
3- its just regular battles, free for all, tdm, ctf, objective controll etc... but it misses some depth like crpg has.
4- there is no career, nothing like face or armor customization (maybe there is but i haven't found out how to unlock that) that would distinguish you from the others
5- there is no social interface, nothing to promote clan battles, tournaments or anything like that
6- there are no overall statistics of your character etc...
overall
7- it misses a lot all the other things that could make the game way better (career, customization, statistics etc...). those things that are imho easy to add, but i don't know why they didn't implement them already.
- considering the fact i was not able to block a shit in m&b when it started and now i'm lets say average blocker since start i think blocking is really easy compared to m&b.In M&B its very hard at first, but after some time its easy. After playing M&B for years I know that nothing will breake my defence. Chivalry works different. Its easy when you fight against unskilled oponents. Just one button, you see the strike you block it. But swing can be executed in many different ways, taking swing angle, footwork and timing into consideration. Skilled player attacks in different ways, thats when blocking becomes harder.
Don't forget the boiling pots of oil that defenders gets :lol:
U can trigger them somewhere from above the gate? :)
Playing from first person view with increased field of view in crpg beta client is pretty amazing and somewhat close to what you may be looking for ))I think that crpg combat is bit too fast for effective 1st person. But stamina and gore hmm...
Pay for it. Nothing amazing. Graphics are good but fighting style is so clumpy. Wish somebody will make crossbred between chivalry and warband. And I don't have to wait until M&B 2.Fighting isn't clunky at all. Gore, slashing, and blocking are all smooth as hell, alot more smooth than I thought they would be honestly.
I recorded a couple of rounds of battle. Keep in mind that I had just started the game for the first time, so I didn't show great skills.
By the way, I killed Lactose the Intolerant once. Good to see fellow cRPG'ers in this game. :)
its 1st person only
Graphics are good but fighting style is so clumpy.I wouldn't say the combat is clunky (Or did you really mean clumpy?). It's more that some of the attacks seem a bit... odd, or maybe it's just that many swings suffer the exact inverse problem Warband has. In warband the beginning and end of your swings usually deal less damage and have a better chance of glancing, but it seems in Chiv every single attack frame is dealing about the same amount of damage as the apex of the attack. I can be hugging a guy's face and stab it perfectly fine with a spear, and sometimes at the very end of a thrust just as my guy is pulling the weapon back I will land a hit on someone. It just seems the game is based a whole lot less on momentum in all aspects. It doesn't make the combat bad at all, it just makes it slightly awkward when you get struck by the very last part of a swing when it shouldn't be doing much damage and it fucks you up anyways.
Nope, there are 3 third person views. Press P.Oh damn... way better than warband now 0.0
Oh damn... way better than warband now 0.0
Upload gameplay in 3rd person. I wanna see CRPG players POV when playing Chivalry in 3rd person.Ill see what I can do
One thing is that the block can't be held down, and because of that slow weapons often gets me.exactly
nice one, u were really carefull with your swings (except for that axe :D). u prefer 1st over 3rd person when playing?Well, I haven't played much (only 85 minutes according to Steam), but first person camera seemed easier for me. I noticed that there are 3 different angles for third person camera, which is nice, but it was impossible for me to block.
I get such a rush from this
They need to deal with the spear and mace my old friends though. Its like the game wasn't designed to even block them
to block spears you need to block later than youd normally think. the overhead stabs are kinda tricky. but yeah 1h combos are a bit op. if you dont block the first swing youre p much fucked
Firepots are the one thing I really just don't like, other then that it is a spiffy game.
every day i see there is more and more archers in the game, this evening it even crossed the point when it started to be unbearable.
No shielders there?
And can you be crossbows?
Oh lol firepots haha. I remember em from Age of Chivalry (original one). Why u no like em? They're fkin great. Or atleast i used to remember them as great.
Had loads of fun yesterday playing together with Dieler.
In case Teams were balanced we pretty much ripped others apart.
3/1 4/1 k/d s Start to happen...one gains control over things.
MAA class is terrible to play. Takes the most of the player with least effect.
Knight and Vanguard are fairly easy.
Dead zones for damage needs to be build in. Start and end of a swing should do no damage.
At least give me the option to put the attack to a mouse movement, the mouse wheel thing is very awkward for me.Imagine aoc player starts to play M&B, and then posts on the TW forum that he needs aoc controls option, because directional system is very akward for him.

Was playing fine before. Then I couldn't find anymore servers. And then when I could find the servers again, I couldn't connect to any.
Bought the game today ._.
Someone posted this on Bay12 so I figured I'd put it here too.

I keep forgetting to press "Q" to cancel an attack and then block - I instinctively press "RMB" directly and end up dead. :)http://forum.meleegaming.com/age-of-chivalry/how-to-feinting-and-parrying-on-right-mouse-button/
Who needs a weapon? Real man leads the charge with his head!!!(click to show/hide)(click to show/hide)
I havent seen any bugs except the arms breaking when you're using a ballista lol
Hahaha I love Man at Arms dodge. I've been trolling knights in Duel servers lately with a dagger and MOA. Forward dodge + stabs are so freaking fast. It is usually fast enough to get in range in time to stagger on their windup if they are using anything less than a Sword of War speed wise.
You can only stagger their attack when they are pulling it back, not when it is already swinging through.
I dont agree with ''Knights suck'' You are able to deal with everything easily. Its like tank but you can also use one-handed. That means MAA got no advantage(spam) against you. You are able to get shot by 1-2 arrow. Well i like to play as Knight and didnt like other classes that much.
When you stab/slash someone, they don't get temp stunned or visibly injured (most times)
Just picked up this game yesterday and I can tell you a few things that are current:typical c-rpg player cons
The good:
Great graphics and animations.
It feels fresh, and not just a bad clone like others say.
Awesome game modes (cRPG should take notes)
The bad:
When you stab/slash someone, they don't get temp stunned or visibly injured (most times)
Blocking seems a little off, it needs some tweaking.
Spammers.....
Lack of melee support (i.e. longer spears for use)
No meaningful progression atm. Such as leveling, money making, etc. You can unlock more weapons by killing people with that weapon category.
Honestly though, I'm really liking it. It's a half-polished gem at the moment. It can use some tweaks--but what game couldn't? Mount&Blade in its infancy was horrific, Chivalry has a much better head start.
When ''Fire Arrow'' will open? with Warbow? I really want to try it :lol:
Same, I like archer class the most and it was the first class I unlocked all the weapons. And with a fire arrow, knights be shakin'
Just got the game this morning, and I can say I'm enjoying it. I'm already getting a grasp on it right off the start. You learn quickly that footwork is proper, and when a game is like that, it makes it that much more enjoyable, rather than run in, attack, hope your quicker on a button press, and away you go.
I'm sure I'll be playing it more often now.
Today i saw a different helmet. I couldnt take screenshot sorry but it was like ''Barbuta''
