If it wasn't for the glitchy animations it wouldn't be so bad.
Especially getting hit before they even play.

I think I have FRAPS installed still, I'll record next time if I can.
So for reasons unknown to mankind, somebody decided to park the catapult into the building across the bridge. They were also a wizard, and decided to leave a rift in space and time on the point which previously held the catapult. If you stepped on it, you were flung across space to the catapult, and if you got off the catapult you were put back across the river. This led to some unfortunately not captured shenanigans of jumping back and forth while harassing the Masons.

I'm really not liking the latest update.
It seems like they sped up the turn speed when attacking - I've whipped around in mid stab to attack someone directly to my right; it's very difficult to actually dodge attacks.
Shields are even more broken than before. I was going straight through a kite shield when mouse1 spamming with a saber, and I wasn't even that close to the guy using the shield. Bucklers are worse than useless.
Really? I've been finding things quite reliable.
Having to grind the javelin has shown me just how insanely boring the archer is to play.
Really? Getting the javs was an exercise in how irritating you can be as a archer. Shank them up close, and if they back off to get a swing in throw the jav right into their face. All while taunting constantly. Felt good.
Favourite part of being an archer? Having the final crossbow, nothing like launching a quarrel across the map and doing massive damage, albeit with a long reload.

I am Awkward Archer.
What's with shields? I lined up a block from a spear perfectly, and I was still shanked.

A nasty trick to be wary about -
Spear users can thrust with their spear, purposely miss your shield, then use precious miliseconds to redirect their spear into your body, making it still count as damage.
Shields are buggered. Only knight shields work effectively.

A litte quote from the news: [quote]There is still some way to go until we can get people playing in the map- as the SDK for Chivalry still hasn't been released yet. But that's not such a bad thing- as its allowing us to focus our efforts into producing high-quality assets such as weapon models, environment art and audio elements.
Kieran is also hard at work on the Samurai class, which we'll be revealing soon.[/quote]
can you commit seppuku in it?
No but you can commit sudoku.
Oh man, I can just see the duels where you have to start with your sword sheathed :v:
Its really lame like acouple weeks ago my computer stopped wanting to play chivalry and just refused to start the game, and now that it plays, the game was patched that changed something with the blocking and sensitivity to where i cant get more that 10 kills without just as many deaths. I used to have good days where i would go like 25 and 4 but not any more
I don't know if the blocking is fucked or the pace of the combat changed from people trading swings to people running around swinging in all directions like retards.

Blocking is fucked.
Finally got me veteran helm for archer, completing the set.
My only reward is that I never, ever have to play archer ever again.
Oh, and 80% of all populated servers in Australia have both fists and helms disabled because somebody is stupid. You can get fists with nextweapon though.

Archers are great if you play them correctly. I run around with the light crossbow and melee people and if they run I just shoot them with it. All classes but knight die in a stab + light xbow shot.

I will admit that I enjoy archer sometimes, but I overall despise them and the main reason why I hated grinding this was the glass-cannon nature of the javelin archer matched with the often horrible attack controls. Give me a crossbow any time.
But yeah, the problem is that 95% of archers are snipers who wish they were back in Counter-Strike and never push, never advance, and take up valuable slots that could be used for the actual classes. They're also unbelievably frustrating to get past in maps like DarkForest.
[editline]11th April 2013[/editline]
If it wasn't so horrible to attack with matched with the insanely clunky shield controls, the thing can be insanely powerful. Taking down Vanguards in two stabs, for god's sake.
Who needs a shield? Thrusting dagger fo lyf
My favorite thing to do as an archer is to fight really close to the battle and get really easy shots on busy opponents.
Am I the only one who thinks the latest update fucked everything up? I cannot play it now. Everything feels way off.

Light crossbow best crossbow. Trying to learn how to use the sling, though. Dem headshots.
GUYS QUICK

I've done that a lot before with the shortbow (since I don't have to reload), it's gotten me so many kills before.
Now if only I could play without lagging.
[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;40244944]Light crossbow best crossbow. [/QUOTE]
I think that thing gave me cancer when I used it, didn't feel like it excelled at anything. I mean IIRC you can hold a bow at full draw for an unlimited amount of time so it sort of defeats the purpose of needing a ready-to-shoot weapon.
You can't hold a bow drawn indefinitely.
