Any GAF interest in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare?

Game is so much fun. I had the beta for War of the Roses and uninstalled the game after a couple if minutes of play cause it was laughably bad. This game wa just a pleasant surprise, wasn't even on my radar.
I hope they implement auto balance for the teams, more skins ( or classes?) and maps in the near future.

They could also do another mode with a 3rd faction with varied game ojectives, how fun would that be?
 
I'm bumping this thread for anyone interested in the above. I'm a bit broke right now, but hopefully others will jump on for this great game.

Nabs decided for us that GF stood for Get Fucked rather than Good Fight because of Jack lol.

If that's JackBaldy I think he murdered half of the Mindcrack server for a good couple of hours. Most of those videos ended up devolving into screams of "Oh god JackBaldy" at one point or another.

That's the one haha. Dude is single-handedly ruining the game for a lot of people.
 
I swear, Jack Baldy is the reason why there aren't more beta -> full game converts. The devs should only allow him in on off-peak hours.
 
Yeah...Mount & Blade is hard to go back to after this.

But every single time I start playing this again, I'm put off by the horrendous team balancing. Every single match tonight has been entirely one sided.

Interest you say? O, there is interest.

First person arm models look so weird... And some tree models remind of the original Mount&Blade.

Combat feels better than War of the Roses but not by much.
 
Hit boxes could be better but otherwise combat is quite fun. Not quite the skill cap of Mount & Blade, but still quite fun. First person combat definitely feels way better than M&B.

Balance is definitely the big issue with the classes and weapons, making sure every class feels like it has a role and is equally important.

I would like to see a territory game mode, ala conquest of bf3, arathi basin of WoW, etc. I mean King of the Hill is in the game, but I think it's only one point. And I havent really played the mode since there are never any servers it seems.

Glad to see it selling so great as well, currently #3 on the Steam charts.
 
I want to see is a 1v1 dueling quarter match style game mode, where there would be a lobby of spectators lining up to 1v1 battle the winning dueler. It would be perfect.

Maybe we could get a Steam Chivalry GAF group setup too?

This is all I got for now...

Chivalry: MW |OT| My battle cry brings all the boys to the yard.
Chivalry: MW |OT| A binder full of knights.
Chivalry: MW |OT| Hey, I just met you and this is crazy. Here's my sword. Duel me maybe?
Chivalry: MW |OT| Agatha & Masons. Friends Forever.
Chivalry: MW |OT| Kickstarter approved, Steam recommended.



I could get one up tonight but don't want to step on any toes. NT, let me know if you want to do the OT.

I trust you to make a better OT than I, friend. Don't have a lot of time on my hands. I took express college classes haha.
 
I've been playing this all day. It's pretty incredible. The last few game I've played I've gone around 17-1. We should definitely get a steam group going. I really want to play with some people who have mics.
 
So tempted.. Any Australians been playing? Hows the server situation...

Gamepad work good?
Click to expand...

Several Aussie servers running with pings between (for me at least) 50-100. They have great numbers and generally full at the moment.

The 360 gamepad works but can't be used for everything. As in, it works for movement and combat in game, but menu options and selecting weapons at the start of matches (plus a few other menu stuff) still needs to be done with mouse + keyboard.

One of the Kickstarter strecth goals was to have a Duel mode as you describe and it did make that funding. I imagine they will implement it as soon as they can hopefully.

Any word on performance stuff? I think I'm getting some really weird mouse lag, very choppy.
Click to expand...

Running i7-930 (OC @3.4) a GTX670 and I mostly get between 50-60 frames depending on the action with the game maxed except for a few settings. It can dip into the 40s during really crazy battles, but I haven't seen it go lower then that yet.

Game is brutally fun. There are things they can work on for sure, but as it stands it can get crazy when guys are charging all over the place. Recommended, especially for its price.
 
Finally had a chance to play this for a bit, and it's a lot of fun. Got a long ways to go in order to unlock weapons, but it's really an enjoyable experience. Playing vanguard for now, and it's not bad. Just gotta remember not to do slashes when team mates are nearby. :p
 
This game is a lot of fun. While the combat seems simpler than the directional and timed attacks like in M&B or WotR, you still have to keep in mind weapon reach, swing speed, positioning, parrying etc. The presentation is also great, there's already a slew of interesting modes and maps. The game really looks and sounds brutal. It's not perfect though. I've had a few crashes, and the servers can be quite laggy. My ping is probably too high, but it's still more noticeable than in other games. I also dislike how you unlock weapons. Instead of being linear, it should give you a choice. For example, I like using the war hammer, so I got enough kills to unlock the maul, which I hate. But I have to get 75 kills with this thing to try out the next hammer weapon. Talk about a grind. I should be able to spend my kills on any weapon I want.

Team balancing can really get out of hand sometimes. The developers already said they are working on it though. I imagine they will implement some kind of auto-balancer like Team Fortress 2 has.

I'll work on that and have it posted tonight. Now that interest seems to be picking up a bit, I'll also get a Steam group setup and post the info in the OP. Would love to play with some other gaffers.
 
I bought this last night and played a good 2 hours even though I should have only played a half-hour before going to bed... but I had the biggest shit-eating grin the entire time
 
As someone who LOVED mount and blade SINGLE player it interests me but would interest me 100 times more if it wasn't just multi.

Will still probably buy it when it hits sub 10$ on a steam sale though.
 
Finally purchased it and its awesome! (even though Im terrible at the game! lol) Still getting the combat down. I can block and parry pretty well, can't seem to land a hit. Just seems everyone is going nuts, swinging polearms and broadswords way faster than I can. And I have no idea how anyone can do anything with the bows. All that said, still crazy fun.

We absolutely positively got to get some GAF games going!
 
Im currently playing with a xbox controller and it is much more comfortable than the keyboard. Having all the attacks mapped to the shoulder buttons and triggers, oh so good. Feels like it was designed for it
 
OT is up!

Never joined a Steam group before, how do I do it? It says "membership only by invite".

He must have changed it to be invite only to keep out spammers and scammers. I can invite you. What's your steam account?
Click to expand...

Weird. It says it is set to public in the permissions but when I view the group from the web it says it is set to private. Did you get an invite Felix or were you able to just join?
