Why are you appealing then you said i hope game dies plus seemed very toxic on this thread imo.

@evil-minion said in Archer is Vanguard's weakness. Vanguard is most popular to play. Put 2 and 2 together:

LTS got much less interesting with the addition of those endgame icons. It also buffed Archers as it makes it much harder to flank them or even use cover. Not the way to go in my opinion: floating icons etc. should be kept at a bare minimum - I think even objective markers offer way too much hand-holding that reduces the tactical options most of the time (and often ends up favoring Archers too).

As for Archers themslves and the topic here: Yes Archers are the main counter to Knights and limiting them causes the Vanguard population to go up or even rampage because of missing counters. However, this only applies to mass-Vanguard where 4 Archers are simply not enough. Too bad limiting Archers makes the probability of encountering mass-Vanguard much higher. Now Torn Banner could keep going the wrong way and introduce a Vanguard limit reducing the player options even more and making the game even less diverse.

Or they could remove the Archer limit making the game more diverse (and better in my opinion) and providing the options to deal with Vanguard spam. But then we run into the old problem: the main counter to Archers… is Archers. Which is probably the main reason they introduced the limit in the first place. If one team starts to use Archers to great effect the other teams Archer count will increase in an effort to snipe them. This increase in Archers causes the first team to use even more Archers to counter them more effectively. Which in turn might cause the second team to use even more Archers.

So the way to deal with this is:
(1) Make Archer balance high priority.
(2) Balance Archers:

less easy to play (higher risk, less forgiving) not the main counter to itself (it should be more effective to pick up a shield and charge than sniping them)
(3) Get rid of the Archer limit (and overused floating icons - the King needs no tracking device either)
(4) Add a Hardcore mode (100% FF, team flinch, 1st person only, ranged spread, no floating icons and less health regeneration)

I have to strongly disagree that the icons buffed archers, because it made it impossible for them to hide and snipe you.

@wilt said in A Tiny Minority is still ruining Chivalry for the majority to this day:

Middlemen not needed thanks or advice from some newb on site. Let alone hidden steam profile trolls tbh.

The chivalry community that plays on the pc is almost non-existent on this forum. Therefor I mostly reply on the chivalry admin page or the chivalry community page on steam. I have recently come here for Reithur’s call (on steam) to report map bugs (on this forum).

I do not know why this is relevant but you can find my steam profile here:
(I temporarily set it to public)

It’s refreshing to get complaints about archers again on these forums tbh.

@Yazuak said in What The Duel Community Wants:

@Sheepdude:

1. Shield-less Options for Men-At-Arms (and everyone)

This, so much this.

Having a shield makes it nearly impossible to duck attacks. More subtly, it makes blocking side attacks much harder (especially heater shield.) It also makes it much harder to sidestep attacks/generally use footwork. It’s a huge effect, you might not notice on your own but once someone points it out to you you’ll never stop being annoyed at all the times you die because you had a shield.

I know this was 9 months ago, but Is this actually a thing??? I almost always carry a shield into battle to show off my emblem but if it increases your hit box, then I guess I won’t be bringing a shield into battle anymore. XD

@SDS-NewAgeKnight yeah, that’s something I try to remind myself. But I get that Bloodlust going and run out like an idiot.6v6 or less and I can mentally keep track of where everyone is.

@zombojoe said in Came back after a 3 year hiatus:

So you want chivalry without real time tracers?

Where’s the fun in that?

You’re right, and I don’t understand why people want to make the game “fair” by breaking mechanics even more…

For those who consider rainbows/backswings/dragging as exploits:

You can’t have rainbows/backswings/dragging without RT tracers…

BUT you can’t have chivalry without RT tracers…

Its a lose-lose situation.

That’s just the way it is

You’ll die every time against someone with duel experience no matter how long you play with a controller

@Village-Elder Whenever I use the spear I tend to press lmb and reverse lmb the enemy occasionally. Catches most people out but it gets boring quickly.

My collection of Archers winning in FFA and T/O is quite big also btw.
Just yesterday Mr Archer with a clear 30 plus lead and finally win with just a slingshot the melee slaughter with op butter knife
if any get close, but doing extended spam of voice constantly as he spins , leans backwards, Roh, feints , kicks jump kicks like a
raving nutcase.
Huston we have a problem tbh.

Ism’t 90 fov much less realistic than 150 fov though. I mean, just because it looks weird (at first) on a 1080p monitor doesn’t mean it isn’t realistic. Infact, if you look at it from a real life pov, it’s much more realistic. You can actually see around you like your eyes do in real life.

I agree about third person though. That is literally cancer.

I’ve been vote kicked for ducking under swings too much when on a server with a bunch of bad players. They said I was exploiting, all I was doing was crouching and looking down to dodge their swings, it even says to do so in the tutorial.

It gets pretty hard to swallow people complaining about exploits that are simply a guy moving his mouse around in a pattern.

I thought mouse sensitivity doesn’t matter in chiv since your speed is capped during weapon swings.

Thx for your replies. i will try to reinstall in tonight, and if the problem continues i’ll put a short video on the topic.

my specs : i5 3570-r9 380- 8Gb RAM- MB Asus p8h77-v.

i don’t have any problems on others games. When i hit someone it depends, sometime i i’m like a ghost, or i have to spam my button, especially my scrollbutton.

My mouse is new, then it is not it.

the buckler is completely stuffed. projectiles will go straight through it at certain points and I’m pretty sure melee weapons do also. I haven’t use the sabre since 2013 possibly so I can’t comment on that.

I’ve also heard that the Tank class trait doesn’t work with the heater when it is selected on the knight through the flail.

What is the tank class trait
