imo now is the time to get into the game, the longer it goes on and the more the community contracts the bigger a gap will develop between the really good players, the average players, and the new or mediocre players.
I accidentally blocked two arrows

the other day i saw someone block a throwing axe by intercepting it mid-air with another throwing axe. the amount of detail put into the projectiles and throwables is really crazy for a game largely about sword fighting
You can also shoot catapult shots out of the air with any projectile.
i like the game but i'm godawful at most of the weapons, spear is the only two handed weapon i can seem to use well and that's when i don't end up 4v1'd because the teammates i were using as meat shields vanished into thin air
i've been just running the bastard sword with a heater shield because i can actually swing it and expect to do damage unlike the short spear
Start up a private server with 1 bot
press the tilda key to the left of your !1 key to open up the console and type in:
toggledamage
togglestamina
slomo .5
then when you're feeling comfortable move up to slomo .75 then back to slomo 1 the regular game speed.
The fact that you can't look at advanced stats without buying the equipment first really upsets me
Alright I don't know what the hell they've done with the game but it's unplayable for me now. Lost like 20 frames in the last few days, can't react for shit in fights
Gonna ask again if anyone knows how to have a bot with a different set of equipment? I always get the guy with the poleaxe.
Yeah but on the other spectrum equipment is dirt cheap.
All I know is you can use removebots 1 and addbots 1 to get different bots. No idea how to summon specific ones
Are there any tutorials or tips for dodging. I feel I'm doing it wrong.
Are you mistiming it? You usually want to sidestep on long reach weapons like a spear or the estoc. Big swords with a huge build up like zwei you can dodge back early as soon as you see them windup. On the offensive, you want to use the dodge to bait people into attacking. You can also supplement a dodge with a parry just half a second after to keep yourself safe from any mistimed dodges or extra attacks and feints.
Sounds like I'm just mistiming it then.
So, we had a somewhat close match on camp, but then we finally started pushing forward. I ran ahead and stole Red's catapult and brought it to the blue side. Shortly afterwards, I scored a 5 kill shot (with no friendly fire) and then a few shots later, a four kill shot. i wish I was recording.

Nice, just what I am looking for at the moment.
Also good to know. I´d hate to follow the tutorial just for the often inevitable "Actually you have to use engine exploits and secret techniques you can check out on the fanwiki, which is not even up to date".
Note that this is not the same as "It will take a while before you learn which techniques and weapons to use in which situation".
Nice, looks like I got the next game on my "to-get" list decided.

I kind of would like to buy this game, cause it sounds great, but the game has meh "Mostly Positive" reviews on Steam. What's up with that?
if people can use rapiers and spears then i can backstab people

I think most of the negativity is stemming from the issues from launch when the servers were shaky, and the game could use some QoL improvements. It's not perfect and they really could iron out some of the issues and make improvements. The Frontline game mode (the big Battlefield-like objective-based mode) and some balancing overall could also use some work. The PvE AI Horde mode as well is pretty underwhelming, with some AI and gameplay loop re-designs needed. Outside that however, this has been one of the most enjoyable multiplayer games I have played as of late. The combat system is just fantastic and the builds you can do are all fun and viable. Everything just feels satisfying to play, and barring Chivalry (which had a lot of issues on its own, and Mordhau surpasses that one and more already), it's one of the most unique multiplayer games out there right now.
So far most of the negative reviews I've been seeing are people whining that they don't understand/like the mechanics or that they keep getting stomped in frontline.
First couple of days had Server Stability and Progression Losing issues, both fixed now.
Really fun game, you should get it if you like First Person Melee games. Its base mechanics are really well tuned and every option feels like it belongs and has some other option it wins or loses against.
Though I'm kinda disapointed by how lame its gamemodes are compare to Chivalry's. I want to slaughter some peasants, poison the enemy's water supplies, ram their castle's gate open and kill their king. The current game modes feel completely game-y, with no interested context added.
okay imagine Mordhau but warhammer fantasy
man, I went the 'monk build' with just a quarterstaff, brawler, dodge, and a medkit for TDM and goddamn this stuff smacks peoples shit in up to 3v1, just keep em grouped together
it's especially hilarious when they think they catch me off guard while i have the medbag in my hands, drop it, and just knock them the fuck out with my fists
I was just thinking last night that it could be interesting if they did a swords n' sorcery fantasy expansion (or standalone game). With the freedom and customization Mordhau has it could be pretty wacky.
yeah if there was a Witcher mode where you had to beat supernatural enemies by just straight up being an amazing swordsman that would be fucking sick. even just a simple zombie mode where you gotta decapitate them or chop them up like the wights from Game of Thrones would be amazing
