Unfortunately, I have a similar opinion. They’re losing a lot of players for something like this, but there’s nothing we can do.

Reason for Applying (issues you see w/ the community, how you would like to address them, what you think you can do to help, etc):
I’ve been playing games online for as long as I can remember, and Chivalry has brought me the type of joy I haven’t felt in years. I have always strived to push for an inclusive, non-toxic, mature atmosphere without inhibiting gameplay. There are plenty of times I have witnessed slurs, bullying, and harassment in game, mostly all which goes unpunished. Convincing the server to report the user(s) and muting them in game only goes so far when the harassment and/or griefing continues. For the number of hours, I play and stream this game, this is too regular of an issue.
I’m quite capable of helping people grow when they make mistakes, sticking to process instead of letting emotions guide me, something that has developed and been refined over the years. My activity in all aspects of Chiv, in game and out has let my actions build a reputation of being fair yet firm. I would be willing to help in whatever capacity I could which includes but not limited to: record, report, assess, mod, and/or admin in servers; to actively curb griefing, intentional tk’ing, chat spam, abusing votekick, racism & persistent bullying, and general toxicity and overwhelming rudeness.
Relevant Experience: (if any – moderation/community management on other games/websites or technical experience, etc)
I’ve been a mod for gaming communities since CS 1.6, including Day of Defeat Source, Battlefield: Bad Company, Rainbow Six Siege. I didn’t know another medieval fps came out after Age of Chivalry until Chiv 2 - to my pleasant surprise. I have mediated disagreements between clans and individuals within the Chiv 2 community. I am also one of the drafters of the Chiv 2 Competitive Constitution to ensure sportsmanship as well as no tolerance for racism, homophobia, or any slurs from anyone who participates in the Chiv 2 competitions or the clans, in game and well as out of game interactions with other members of the community. I document griefers and others that break official server rules.
Professionally I am in committees at work overseeing and ruling on Operations Improvement, Inclusivity, and internal Mediation. Part of my job is being a program manager, overseeing a portfolio of software products. I empower others to be the best versions of themselves and to continuously grow.
I am also one of the leaders at LK, helping Łк Hero of Ages achieve the goal to maintain a Civil community in the game we enjoy as well as help it grow.

I’ve recently purchased the game and have been playing for a little over 2 weeks and these are my thoughts on some problems within the game.
Overall the combat seems very dumbed down. The hold to block system takes a lot of skill out the game. It pretty much makes riposting an attack not worth the effort as the person is usually holding block as soon as they finish their attack anyway and will block the riposte without much effort. They don’t have to worry about the timing of the block.
Using feints and things are also diminished as again someone can just hold block while you are doing all your feints they don’t have to worry about timing the block. Essentially by feinting you are just trying to bait them out the block it’s not worth it when you can just as easily kick them out the block.
The hitboxes feel very off sometimes. I’ve noticed that sometimes a person attacking me straight on can get through my block but I’ve attacked people from near enough behind them only to have it blocked when they are not looking in my direction. I’m noticing also that sometimes players who appear quite far out of range are able to register a hit. I played a bit of archer and noticed that with shield users even though the arrow hits a part of the enemy body that isn’t covered by a shield the arrow will get blocked by an invisible wall extension of the shield and it looks odd.
I find it odd that you can’t throw weapons or fire bows when you are out of bounds “deserting” or whatever its called. It happens a lot when the enemy takes a point and you are instantly out of bounds. You can still attack but not throw weapon or fire a bow? Why is that the case what difference does it make to allow someone to throw their weapon out of bounds you essentially putting someone at a disadvantage for no real reason.
I know it’s fun for the story atmosphere but I don’t like having to play peasants or monks. I want to play the class I pick. I feel like when I’m forced to play peasant or monk I’m just being sent out to die for another players enjoyment seeing as I have to hit him about 6 times as a peasant and he hits me twice to kill. There’s nothing really in it for me than to die for someone else’s fun.
I think Archers should be able to 1 shot other archers so they can act as the counter to other archers. If that was the case they would focus less on melee players and just go for other archers. I had to shoot a lightly armored crossbowman 3 times with a long bow it just feels odd.
I see that some levels are quite obviously unbalanced you can usually tell when half the team is swapping over to the other team at the beginning of the map because that’s the winning team for this map.
I feel like the game is really made for first person view but playing first person is essentially putting yourself at a massive disadvantage as you just can’t compete with the field of view of 3rd person especially in chaotic fights.
These are just some things I’m noticing within the game having played for about 2 weeks now. The game is fun the atmosphere and the aesthetics of the maps are great but some design decisions within the game seem a bit odd.
