I haven't really encountered much toxicity. I'd say a big part is that the game has had massive popularity. So there are all kinds of random assholes to meet. I have encountered people trying to teabag though, which never ends well for them.
I've played literally nothing but frontlines on the official us servers and hoo boy there's a lot of toxicity and politi-talk/racism from trump supporters.
Literally can't go 5 minutes without someone dropping the N word or calling someone a libtard.
I know this is me being whiny but I'm probably not going to play this until the next patch. Frontlines is kinda boring to me so I stick to duel server mainly now. But I've seen a large increase in FFA'ing shits & trolls in general in duel servers since people realized you can leave a server before a votekick has passed and rejoin endlessly.
my playtime has slowed down significantly now that people who've had more time to play than me are starting to clue into the exploits and shit. i was fine with it when it was just a very small handful of people who've been playing since alpha, but as soon as it started to become widerspread, it really hampered my enjoyment for duels, and frontline's boring
mordhau chat is just tf2 chat
I've thankfully not met much toxicity in-game, but whatever you do, do not go to the official forums. It's a cesspit of racists, misogynists, arm-chair generals, and so much more.
on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being warframe forums and 10 being red orchestra 2 steam community forums how bad is it?
Since I've no idea how bad those forums are, all I can say is, when I first visited the forums to learn something of the game, almost every single thread started with some variations of bashing "SJW's", libtards, using the N-word as if it's going out of style, reeee-ing at the idea of there being women in the game, and scaring people off the platform if they dared have another opinion than everyone else.
I've luckily not encountered much political or racist stuff in chat but I have learned that basically every weapon is overpowered.
Red orchestra 2 though a fun game I'd suggest not playing with people or sticking with ranked bot servers. Lotsa neo nazis play it.
Thought I was the only one.
It's in human nature but good god some people just want to tear and stretch and do everything in their power to have an edge in duels - It absolutely ruined Chivalry and i'll be genuinely upset if it ends up happening in Mordhau as well.
I'm honestly surprised that they locked such an obscure historical reference behind such a high level. The first thing I did when I saw you could make a class was start a gallowglass, and basically shit a brick when I saw they had the battleaxe skin. It was meant to be.
are the EU servers less toxic or is this not a case of the “NA servers are full of assholes in 100% of videogames” problem
On the official servers there's always a few asshats.
I'll bet it based on region. I play on US/Canada West servers and I don't see any of these nazis and trump-tards. I think it might be gridlocked to the areas that those types of people are most prevalent in.
I'm very thankful I can easily disable the chat in this game.
Who even pays attention to the chat?
I like reading people's reactions when someone fucks up with the catapult
Seeing as there's no voice chat or text-mirrored voice commands, that's the only way to communicate with your team.
Turning it off deprives you of information. Or it would, if it wasn't full of 13 year olds saying they're going to fire up the jew ovens for the next guy to mount a horse with a couched polearm.
It tends to catch your eye, especially in the rounds you are getting curbstomped in.
I never even pay attentions to chat.
I really enjoy smokebombs

I made a grim reaper loadout. Still needs work.
You mean dragging? The game tells you to do that in the tutorial. There are no reverse overheads, turn caps are lower than in Chivalry, and you can't twist your torso nearly as much.
It has to be possible to mix up your timing to some degree, or anyone sufficiently good at defending would almost never get hit until they ran out of stamina. Same with kicks. There's extra counterplay to it in Mordhau, though. You can chamber and then feint to parry or another chamber if they decel. Same if they feint or morph your chamber attempt and you know they're going to hit first.
As much as your average player disliked chiv's weird attacks, they were necessary to raise the skill ceiling and avoid stamina wars.
bear trap confirmed for best weapon

If any of you like a spastic type fighting style, make a viking setup with all medium armor and the battle axe in short mode. Accelerate the shit out of ripostes and profit.
What do you guys mean by accelerate? Do you mean just turning with the swing?
It means basically get your hits to land sooner by leaning into it, easiest example is look down while performing and overhead swing, the hit will land faster.
