When the game suddenly turns into a fantasy game with giants and dwarfes

i played with NA just fine a few times
It's so painfully tedious, yet sadly just about the only reliable way to finish horde.
Anyone wants to "squad/gang/forum" up ?
Got stuck with my horse under the ground, and only my head was visible. The enemy kept running past me and I constantly spammed "Help!". Suddenly three enemies heard me, kept stabbing and punching my head and I did everything I could to survive. The medieval age must've been a very frustrating time.
This is what I get for taunting while on a ladder

Normally horde modes are my guilty pleasure but the one in Mordhau kinda sucks. Players are encouraged to camp a hard to access area with ranged weapons, as well as make waves last as long as possible to increase the chances of finding good loot at the beginning. I feel like a more focused experience with half the players and enemies where all the weapons are in the starting area would be better.
Bloodlust seems really broken atm.
The toolbox generally feels drastically overpriced and would be better at 6 or even 4 points. The stuff you can make has its uses, and the ballista in particular is a great counter to archers provided it's built in cover, but it's impossible to create a toolbox class that can also hold it's own when the frontline shifts. Maybe this is just my impression because all the games I tried playing engineer in were losses though v v
naked + halberd + bloodlust = top of the scoreboard every round. You're so much faster than anyone in armor that you can just kite through the enemy line and decapitate all their archers. Then you turn around and lawnmower everyone after the archers are dead.
Double-Toolbox is the best gimmick class.
Run off, grab a resupply, plop down a ballista and six spike walls.
grab a second resupply and six more.
so many cunts TK and grief to stay on the Catapult. they never get kicked either.
Anyone else experiencing weird FPS issues on the camp frontline map?
On all other maps I usually have a stable 50-60 fps, and the start of rounds on camp is fine but after 5 minutes or so the framerate just tanks to 20-30s. It only really happens on the camp map in particular, and downgrading graphics settings yields little improvement. Its really annoying because its one of the most fun and most often picked maps in the frontline rotation.
My personal wish list for horde mode fixes (in rough order of desire/priority):
Longer time between waves with a vote system if you want to start early.
Keep all of the stuff in one area. Don't sprinkle all the gear around the map and expect us to collect it in thirty seconds.
An armory space/chest in lieu of the above where you can buy stuff Killing Floor-style.
Newly connecting players get enough points to decently equip themselves when joining (instead of fighting fully armored heavy industry with a pitchfork).
More balance between numbers of special units and regular infantry.
A smoother curve between the peasant waves and the fully armored heavy infantry.
Mini boss fights such as a giant siege tower instead of body size variations of just giants and fire imps.
More fortification/siege weapon options when using the toolbox. Imagine being able to actually build something out of da Vinci's notes.
Horde mode has a lot of potential but it feels like the weakest part of the game at the moment.
A lot of people tk to keep people off the catapult because it's a team killing machine in the wrong hands.
A siege mode with like 20 players against bots would be pretty badass.
You defend a castle of sorts, while they try to invade by using ladders and siege machines.
So protip for anyone with older GPUs. Turn down texture settings to medium. There is a pretty drastic performance difference between high and medium.
Yeah, the game doesn't look as crisp, but for me it was the difference between hovering in the 40s and 50s on the Camp map, to hovering around 60s and 70s on my GTX 970.
Maybe high and ultra require more than 4 GB VRAM?
Other than that, my quest continues to try to figure out why I'm getting such long initial loading times for the game. I'd like to not having to resort to installing this game to an SSD if possible, as room is tight on them right now.
Connect to a duel server, have a pretty good time for ~20 minutes.
Some fuckstick starts ruining duels with a shortbow, hunt him for a few minutes before switching to huntsman archer to deal with him and him alone.
Everyone starts hunting me instead. He keeps on being a fuckstick.
Map switches, duels happen unmolested again, but the guy is exclusibely targeting me now.
Manage to kill him a few times, he gfs each time. I try to explain duel courtesy to him instead of just votekicking him.
I get votekicked by him instead.
👍
This game could use jump kicking. Right now there's no way to kick people backpedaling with shields.
I hope the game gets mod support so we can have the obligatory Helm's Deep map.
I just want a mod that makes people fly away if you kick them

Can someone explain this, is there hecking Dark Souls kick/punching on ladders? I haven't tried yet.
You can use one-handed weapons while on ladders. So, get 5 kills while doing that.
The Battle Royale mode is pretty fun, now that matchmaking is fixed a lot of people are playing it. It's also a quick source of experience and gold if you get to the top consistently.
My biggest winning killstreak so far is 9 people. Hopefully I can get a higher number!

Also, I tried the classic control scheme and it feels so much better and consistent. Anyone who is using the 240º style should give classic a shot if they feel like they can't get anything done.
Voice commands are pretty op.

I love jumping to their sides and stab their heads mid-air. So many finishing blows, so many people get surprised and panic.
