[QUOTE=snijboer;40169240]Whenever i fight with someone on the STAIRS, HILLS, whatever you can climb up i can't sucessfully block somehow whenever someone does an overhead at me, It just go through my block or something. This makes me sad and needs to be fixed somehow. Fighting on the stairs? I think ill rather stick on a straight floor. Fighting on the rocks or any weird shape on the terrain....is just bugged.[/QUOTE]
Kicks/shield bashes are buggy on slopes, but most other attacks work fine.
With a shield, you'll have to look almost straight up to block overhead (and some slashes or stabs) attacks from someone above you.
If they're below you, you'll have to crouch to prevent them from stabbing at your feet.

What map is that? Argon's Wall?
Anyway, got inspired by this and did some semi-organized crossbow archering with friends:

It worked suprisingly well!

I feel completely worthless playing an Archer...
[QUOTE=An Armed Bear;40172790]I feel completely worthless playing an Archer...[/QUOTE]
Use the crossbow (or heavy crossbow), shoot them in the chest/head (or foot if using a shield), then shank them with the thrusting dagger.
It's very effective.
I've been trying to use the longbow and I just can't get it to work. I feel like I'm tickling people.
[QUOTE=An Armed Bear;40172790]I feel completely worthless playing an Archer...[/QUOTE]
And rightfully so.
recently finished unlocking all the archer weapons, looking forward to never playing that class again
[QUOTE=An Armed Bear;40172978]I've been trying to use the longbow and I just can't get it to work. I feel like I'm tickling people.[/QUOTE]
Bows are much harder to use weapons. Frankly, I pretty much ignore them entirely. If I'm going to be at the range where a bow is useful, I'll either be carrying a short javelin or a heavy crossbow. Bows are just too easy for most players to counter, and the bows harder to aim.
Bows are good at closer ranges taking opportunity shots when enemies are fighting your melee teammates.
Warbow is good at everything.
Its just like IRL, bows take a lot of practice and skill to use and crossbows piss easy to use.
[QUOTE=Don Merino;40173094]And rightfully so.[/QUOTE]
What the hell, that post was a reply to the one about feeling worthless as an archer. It even showed my post right below that one when I last checked.
How do you change your name?
Ive tried it in console, but doesnt work, and steam changes doesn't work either.

Honestly, feinting doesn't make much sense to me. Carrying a heavy sword, swinging down as hard as a lethal blow entails, you don't just fucking stop it midswing like nothing happened unless it was near the beginning of the swing. I feel like the suggestion early, having a time where you can no longer feint, would help the balance, as well as make more sense.

AFAIK you can't change it in-game. Restarting the game will make your name change to whatever your current STEAM name is.

Feinting is a real thing, but it's overstated in Chivalry, and a bit forgiving - you can still feint for a split second even when you're swinging your weapon towards the target.

But you don't stop it midswing. You stop it during the windup.
Also looking at these Archer-fortifications makes me want to be part in it. Let's organize an event this weekend
If you're european or live close to europe feel free to add/pm me, I'll let you know the next time we're playing (make sure you have mumble).
It's usually just me and my friend playing so able bodies never hurt!
I'm not finding any servers after the patch

Just how sturdy are pavise shields, anyway?
[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;40183781]Just how sturdy are pavise shields, anyway?[/QUOTE]
We had problems with them breaking from just standing real close to them. But they did absorb 3-4 melee hits.
Fire pots break them instantly I think.
[QUOTE=zombojoe;40147464]OH so thats why I sometimes got raped by people with extremely glitchy animations. It looked like they were swingfeinting and then hitting me instantly.
Its fucking bullshit.[/QUOTE]
combo feinting

[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;40183781]Just how sturdy are pavise shields, anyway?[/QUOTE]
they explode if you walk into them wrong
Fire pots do break shields instantly. So shoot the shit out of all man-at-arms.
Whats the wrong way to walk into them?
Man, now I want to get like 10 people together to set up a shield wall and use volley fire to kill everyone.

Personally, I would've gone with "[I]Projectile Sentai Go-Archer[/I]", but that's just me.

I'd do it with you, if you had more people.
