I personally love it when I go into a server with 4-5 people expecting a nice and quiet game
and then when I join it's full of people 63/64 players
I've got both veteran MAA and Knight achievements but no helmets. I only have the main weapons unlocked I believe do I need them all to get the helmet or what?
vet helmets are bugged
I have all of them and they only show up on certain servers :c
Last time I played was months ago, have there been any big updates that changed game mechanics? New parry system?
Does anyone else really just want the non-gameplay bugs fixed?
Joining friends is fucked
The server browser hardly retrieves any servers from the list, and very slowly (thanks to using valve's server listing service)
Clicking connect on a server's properties panel will load the server [i]under the panel under the mouse[/i], instead of the one of that panel.
The client will like as not tell you immediately that a server is full just because it shows that on screen, meaning that the player count check is [b]clientside[/b], instead of just contacting the server [b]like the game will do if you use the console to join that same server instead[/b].

You don't have to actually parry their weapon anymore, you just erect a forcefield when you parry. This often leads to blocks happening far, FAR away from their block, or blocking attacks from two different directions at once. It's dumb as fuck and they're never going to remove it since they see it as a fix despite all of the beta testers hating it.
I just bought the game and because of my shitty connection it's unlikely I'll be playing much until the end of the month (if there's bandwidth to spare)
In the meantime I wanna get practice with bots - however, they are dumb as shit, get stuck and some maps only have AI nodes starting at one Team's spawn meaning the others spazz about in their spawn area (or worse, the map doesn't have any at all!)
Are there any mods or anything I can do to make offline play more reliable and challenging as the few online experiences I have had were pretty miserable..

so basically they removed all skill in the game and you should feel bad
you should go up to torn banner studios demanding a refund for a problem that people are imagining
there is absolutely no skill in the game now whatsoever
everyone is now god
torn banner studios cares only about money
they have too much time on their hands, and they can't fix something that's not even an issue because the blocking system hasn't changed any notable amount
oh wait
I mean the game is shit don't buy it uninstall it go ask for a refund
smack the devs in the face for ruining this video game
Unlocks are so god damn frustrating
Why do they even exist
you guys got any tips to be better at this game? i used to be pretty fucking good actually, mostly due to smart tactics not real combat prowess or anything but like i just played and i went like 1-15 in TD. I tried every possible class and just sucked dick at all of them.
Is there a way to get more than 30 FPS on my rig?(AMD Phenom II X4,Radeon HD 6950,4 GB DDR3 RAM)
It's really damn hard to have a fight with crappy framerate since I'm not one to use shields

They don't take long to unlock

like by level 15 you should have pretty much everything unlocked

yeah i should probably stop loving this game and go whine on their forums about the new blocking system i dislike and clearly have no good opinion on due to a venting post on facepunch instead of just waiting for the next update and hoping it gets adjusted to be a little more focused instead of too broadly wide in an attempt to fix facehugging better do that instead
thank you for opening my eyes and generalising a statement sir i feel enlightened

I have barely anything for MAA/archer because I don't play them much
The time isn't what frustrates me, what frustrates me is having to use weapons I don't like to unlock new ones. The unlock system has no reason for existing except for the fact that Torn Banner hates all living creatures and wants them to suffer.

I guess they just put it in for a feeling of progression, whether that idea was misguided or not.
A helpful hint for you guys is that a filthy peasant kill with them counts towards it, so if you want to grind a weapon play Stonehill a lot and slaughter the peasants.
ugh the new beta has paid helmet dlc and 7/8 of them look like shit
they are focusing on paid skins after wrecking the whole game and alienating most of the playerbase. all they are doing about it is handing out crumbs like reducing stam costs for panic parries by 5 :/
they didn't alienate most of the playerbase, they alienated drama queens who can't adapt
most of the playerbase would have no idea what was patched at all
the game isn't wrecked either, save for a couple of bugs it's fully playable
also what the fuck is this talk about the game having no skill anymore? why am I wrecking anyone below 35 and why am I getting wrecked by 40+ then?

the system doesn't force you to use the 2nd unlock to unlock the third, you can use the first-tier weapon to unlock the third, and right now there's pretty much no weapon that is explicitly bad in the game

I quite liked the unlock system. I like the notion of unlocking stuff, it feels like achieving something even if it is just 100 kills for a new weapon and it did make me use weapons I wouldn't normally and those that I outright didn't like, I didn't use.
I just wished they didn't remove the ability to interrupt someone mid attack when you attack them at the right moment, it makes no sense for that to be removed. It definitely made you consider your attacks more, but now it doesn't even matter as much.

if you are still getting wrecked by +40s then all those balance changes didn't even do their job and just ended up making everything worse

it still interrupts attacks, but only during the windup. the only time it won't interrupt is if they're mid-swing.

Only reason I don't play archer is because I don't have archer unlocks.
Also, I hated both the double axe & pole axe, but the bearded axe is ok. Why can't I just try the first two, decide they're shit then immediately try the bearded axe like any normal game?

what about the sling
that thing is literally useless, i've never seen any serious player use it.
Sling is fun when you group up with friends... 3-4 cavemen running around with clubs and slings is pretty devastating on the open maps.
Definitely a candidate, though.
[QUOTE=Samiam22;41338349]what about the sling

It's still overpowered in FFA because there's no chase mechanic and you can kite knights & vanguards
Short spear is probably better though
[QUOTE=Altimor;41338781]no chase mechanic[/QUOTE]
wat
Follow someone who is running away from you for 3-4 seconds or so and you get a massive speed boost. A knight can also catch a MaA with this mechanic. This is disabled in FFA.
It would be nice if they limited the ammo to 2 bolts, 3 arrows or 3 javelins in Duel mode. Atleast for those who play vanguard.
