[b]think again[/b]
[sub]yes each of those bodies was a person[/sub]
While waiting for my Man-At-Arms veteran helmet to unlock I started using the longbow. At first I sucked absolute knobs, but now I really like it. They're actually pretty great.
I think they need to exaggerate the benefits and downsides of each class a bit more. The MAA is fine at the moment, as he's really fast but a good hit will smack his shit out. Knights are fine speed-wise, but don't have enough health to compensate for their speed and medium-ish damage (with every weapon that isn't slow as fuck or has a two-foot reach). vanguards are just terrible, they have the most damage, and reach, they're also fast and can tank almost as much damage as a knight. They need to have less health than they have so that there's actually a downside to playing as them.
Damn, it was hard to find this thread.
Now to wait for more people to find it and post their fun stuff.

Well I hate vanguards period, but yeah, they need work. Even, at the very least, changing the damage on their weapons, so the poles don't do as much damage as the sharpened steel ends, would help immensely.

But but but I play as vanguard all the time and get stomped on by knights and MAA's constantly!
Besides their swords (the more powerful and effective choice in the three weapon branches, in my opinion) have longer wind up times than the knights' longsword, I think.
Vanguards can only take 2-3 hits from a knight depending on the weapon, and their long wind up times and big weapons (sometimes) make it inconvenient to fight MAAs.

edit: [/B]Well, I don't know, I'm not good but I'm not terrible either, these are just my observations.
My game is borked. Stuck in my downloads list, when I try play it it says I have s disk read error and the link it gives me sends me to an empty steam support page. And when I launch it from the .bat file I can;t find any servers.
It was fun but I feel like I wasted my money now.
There was an update yesterday, did it fix anything?

try verifying game caches, reinstalling, etc.
I really hate how people always have to defend themselves when you call them out on cheap bullshit they do in a duel. Whenever I have called someone out on cheap tricks like using projectiles to get free hits everyone gangs up on me and tells me that it's a weapon and it doesn't even matter what you use. I respect those brave enough to admit to their cheap tactics, but some of the same respect is also lost when they continue to use them regardless. They really need to take out projectiles in duels or at least make a different portion for those who want to do archer duels, because it's really unfair for people who don't even use a shield or have any projectiles to begin with. Plus those guys with the javs always use the javs at me when I try to get close to them to cut their head off and usually end up getting me in the head, and it's bullshit because the only option I have with them is to get close to them, I have no other method of attacking them besides that. They took out throwing axes for knights in duel mode as well, which is quite odd considering others can still use projectiles. The balancing in this game is quite shit. The only reason I still put up with it is because it still has some of the best melee combat out there, but those duels where I can have a fair fight and have a good duel that has no exploits or cheap tactics is very rare.

When in Rome, kick the senator in the ballsack
When they throw an axe at you in a melee fight, kick their shit for a cheap forward stab in the neck and then kick them again when they are gurgling on their own blood
Proceed to laugh and cut the head off with an overhead strike.

*COUGH COUGH* FEINTING *COUGH COUGH*
Can anyone help me out? I can't change my resolution in Chiv without it crashing and saying the UDK.exe has stopped working.
[QUOTE=Zepto;39776786]*COUGH COUGH* FEINTING *COUGH COUGH*[/QUOTE]
IMO feinting should be removed from duel mode
its fine in quick battle of TO or LTS when you need to dispatch people quickly but in duels it makes them horribly boring and cheap
Another few most recent screens from Bushido medieval warfare:

I recently had a several minute long duel between me as a MaA and a Knight who was very, very good at blocking.
After said several minutes, I feinted. Once. I immediately finished him off after minutes of only landing one or two hits.
I didn't use feints against him after that. It made it so quick and boring.

The only problem is that a lot of the people who do this kind of shit are usually good enough to avoid most of that though. I do have to admit, it is pretty amazing when you kick them into the spikes if you're on the arena map.
Last night was a good play session.
Some glorious bastard was going in gung-ho with his fists the entire match. Needless to say, I joined him and soon enough everybody was decking each other in the face.
Was a good game, him and I were top 3 on the leaderboards that match.
horses would be kinda cool
they could work like vehicles on a big map, 2 of em spawn at each team's "base" and when they die they respawn

only archers can use projectiles in duel mode and they are so easy to kill, Its very rare that I lose to an archer

I think that would make the game silly
I was dueling a friend and several people yesterday, all of which used feinting. We actually got pretty good at waiting till the absolute last second to block to avoid feints. Still got hit by a couple though, but I was amazed at how many I managed to not die to.
And I discovered that if I do an overhead swing at someone while jumping and they block, literally all I have to do is jump at them again and they think I'm going to attack and they block. It's almost like a different way to feint.
I still don't know how to increase body count for this game like shown in those pictures, care anyone tell me how to do it??

There's a slider in the options.
This thread is a hell of a lot slower than the last one. I hope that's not a bad sign.
People are leavimg because of feinting
And what if they remove it?
If you purposely miss your first swing up close (swing over their head) and follow up with a combo swing it works almost exactly the same as feinting. Are people going to leave because of that too?
Your sarcasm detector is broken.
The real problem I have isn't feinting, it's the parry system and camera drag.
See, here's the thing. A good player (and by good, I mean exploitative, but whatever) player can use the camera to position his weapon to almost instantly strike someone. Whether it's a swing with the enemy off to the left, or an overhead while looking down.
Now, with ping involved, say 40-80, the enemy has to parry in almost the same instant the animation plays for a successful parry. Which is fine, sort of, if highly obnoxious because there's about a 0.5 to 1 second difference in animations between camera-dragged and normal strikes. When the parry window is only about .25 to .75 seconds; that creates a big gap. But, whatever, knave. It's feasible.
Now introduce feinting. Which takes a tiny sliver of stamina. Now I can get someone to parry by faking an attack, one they'd have to parry almost the same instant I started an animation. I can fake them out, and strike them before the windows align again because fuck everything.
And back to camera-drag one more time, you can also use it in the inverse. Swing a large weapon like a Maul or Zweihander, wait to see the parry, and heave the camera over so that they sword hits them after the parry finishes but still during the swing animation.
So, they fix one or the other. I don't care. Personally, I'd say Camera-Drag simply because it makes no sense. A primed sword that has swung for a fraction of a second is infinitely less dangerous than one that has had all the power and momentum of a large, arcing swing.
i want things to go back to the way they were in the old beta
i want to be a little noobito again and be oblivious to the exploits or frustration
