[QUOTE=Archimedes;41219395]Scraped together to cash to buy this while it was on sale. While I may have asked this a month or so back when I was originally planned on buying it are there any relevant video guides I could check out so I don't get stomped during my first few games?[/QUOTE]
Just take a look through the controls to see what you can do and play the game
I think they should increase the strafing speed for all classes if they don't want sprinting to be abused so much.
I mostly play duel. Any other mode is just a shitstorm for me.
God damn I love the new Maul.
Uggghhh the MAA is so crap now. Welcome to shield knight and vanguard the game.

Huh, saw people in-game wondering how you'd react.
Yeah, I thought I was ok with it at first, but the more into the update I look the more I hate it.
more like archer the game because all the crossbows are op

This as well, the buffs to the projectile speed and damage make archers insanely strong.

Sparks here. I suspected that it was you, the Flagdog confirmed it.
God this update is horrible. The parrying, the buffs, the nerfs, it's just getting worse and worse the more I play. There's a couple of things that I like but overall it's absolutely terrible.
It lowered the skill ceiling too much.
Well, I just played the game for the first time today.
Bloody hell, it is hard. I keep fucking up the vanguard's charge. I literally cannot land a single hit with the man at arms, and all I end up doing with the knight is teamkilling by flailing wildly.
I play the archer most of the time, the crossbow seems a bit strong, especially the heavy one. If you actually hit someone with it, it usually one-hits them, which seems a bit OP.

Crossbows have been ridiculously buffed. They're twice as fast as before, they reload nearly twice as fast, the light crossbow reloading in a second or less, and it's incredibly stupid.
If they are going to make them have such high projectile speeds they should at least make it have a ton of drop instead of the opposite.
[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;41221486]I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything, but it seems like you guys are making it out much worse than it actually is. I have no issues pre or post patch. It might be the way I play, what with switching between everything, essentially, but im just not seeing the problem.[/QUOTE]
it's just
I'm tired of things that made me a good player before now get me killed by teabagging, wildly swinging Vanguards. I'm tired of not being able to do anything but parry if I'm hit. I'm tired of not being able to dodge effectively because of the cooldown. I'm tired of the Vanguard's crazy fast swings. I'm tired of my swings being blocked by the new "improved" blocking that erects a forcefield because directional blocking was too hard for some people.
Everything that made me a good fighter, that made me enjoy fighting, has been slapped in the face, told to go sit in the corner so that the crossbow archers and vanguards can go play in the big boy's pool, and is consistently getting me killed and every single time I try to counter after being hit only to have my character stand there like a retard and refuse to move. And I [I]hate it.[/I]
Does that make any sense? I never feinted, I never arched, I just wanted a fair fun fight and its being ruined the more I play.
What class are you even playing as your main class?

Use the Maul!
It drains SO much of their stamina when they block it and cost's next to none when YOU parry.
So many times i've traded parries with a zweiguard and watched him go into the stunned state so I can line up a free overhead headshot from the maul and now THAT instakills any class. All you have to do with the maul is wait, be patient and the opportunity will arise in due time.
[QUOTE=Baazul;41224370]What class are you even playing as your main class?[/QUOTE]
Man at Arms. It's just incredibly frustrating to play as now.
The problem is that if I'm fighting a vanguard, for instance, if I get hit once, then I'm done. That's it. The massive flinch means that I have to immediately go into retreat and on the defensive, and with the Vanguard's increased general speed and increased parry cooldown, it's just not balanced anymore.
MAA sucks now. :( Was the only class that required higher amounts of both skill and tactics imo.
Also I fear they've gone too far with the feints, feel like I have no control over my arms and have to steer away to avoid team damage.
What the hell did they do to archers, half the team is now archer.

Archers are now proficient at combat at any range even with just the bow or Crossbow as you can Land hits on those things just by putting your crosshair near a cluster of enemies closing your eyes and firing

Urgh, I don't whine much about this game, to me its like an FPS version of Street Fighter (with awesome detail to timing, start up animations, footsies, reading your opponent and knowing how to counter someone) ...
but archer just doesn't fit in, especially after this patch. Maybe if the projectile weapons didn't annoyingly interrupt people who are playing properly. Bleh.
Don't know, but my main class is also Man at Arms. I don't want to say that I'm good at this game, but it doesn't feel frustating to play it on public servers. Although playing with the 2h weapon certainly got harder than before from my experience. I'm using the usual Broadsword / Cudgel /Heater Shield combo for every gamemode except Duel mode (132/52 W/L with MaA). There I prefer the extra range that the 2h weapon provides.
So....when will the emblems will be in the game? and the customization to have different color? I know it's in the beta.

About a month, it "works" in the SDK build so it just needs the bugs to be ironed out which knowing torn banner either takes a long time or it never happens.
I thought that the newest update would've fixed my game, but it's still pretty broken by one of the simplest things. I've enabled/disabled vsync, changed around my visual settings (graphics and resolution included,) and reinstalled the game. It's still giving me this weird, stuttery FPS problem when I move my cursor. My FPS drops down to 0 if I bother to move it even the slightest. How do I fix this?
This game has the most people without common sense or reading ability. Today I was kicked for being a "tking lagger" but it was started by a guy on the other team. Kicking is barely used in the right way.
What if an april fools update added horseback to only one team?
Because this game is so up and personal whenever people lose they get really mad.
Its the only PC game where I've seen people get votekicked because the enemy team was tired of losing.
