@ChJees:

The “balance” fixes for Javelins make no sense… Can any dev bring light on why these was made? For me they just look altered for being altereds sake.
I want at least one argument to why the ammo count are being drastically lowered.

I think part of the problem is that animation of the throw and never really knowing the timing of release so that as a defender, possibly knowing when to attempt a dodge. Lowering the ammo count also prevents the throw spam forcing the player to be more accurate and Javs being more precious and then forcing a reload or melee.

This is still a pretty hefty trade off for giving the Archer little better melee capabilities with a pointy stick and shield.
The main reason i used Javelins is to Counter Archers up close because the shield gave me added protection as i prepare to throw my pointy stick of death at them.
And about throw spam… That is a good way to die, because you might not have a pointy stick to defend yourself with.
Wish the devs will make their minds up about the “Skirmisher” subclass for Archers. Are we going to use them for counter enemy Archers or do mediocre melee?

On Swedish keyboards you use the ‘Ö’ key to open the console. Maybe works like that for the Nordic keyboards as well.

@manhunt320:

It’s really easy for a knight with maul to kill an maa, just run up to their faces, they can’t block close strikes.

…if the Man at Arms even let the Knight get that close.

The Norse Sword could get a altered stab speed from what i has seen. Is it faster than the Shortsword?

You are not alone. I resort to use the console to chat when this happens.

My controls are bound like this.

Attack 1\Slash = Left Mouse Button
Attack 2\Overhead = Right Mousebutton
Attack 3\Stab = E
Parry\Block = Middle Mouse Button
Kick\Shield bash = Mouse 4\5 ? Left Mouse Thumb Button

I prefer absolute control over the randomness of the mousewheel.

My personal favorite is the “Shield Breaker” move with the Maul. Charge up a overhead and then when the windup is nearly done you jump up towards them and aim down their head. Works nearly always against the average player. But against more experienced players you must be more sneaky than that.

Veniathan just described how i felt when i started playing this game… And also… Your name sounds familiar. (Im RK | Apple Bloom on steam by the way.)
There is one thing you as a veteran of Age of Chivalry need to come to understand: What you has learned in Age of Chivalry is USELESS. Hard to accept but that is how it is.
As for the Maul, i think it is pretty balanced so that even a Archer that knows what he is doing can force a Knight to back down or swap to his backup weapon. It is so slow that timing is required to be effective at all. Hard but highly rewarding weapon to use when im not playing Archer :P.

What i learned in Chivalry
Slash is not evil, but use it sparingly. If you slashspam you will usually end up dead, but slash intelligently with other attacks and you will succeed.
To know your enemy, be the enemy. Play other classes with their weapons to learn their weaknesses and strengths.
Transitioning yourself from Age of Chivalry to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare will take time. The only thing you may have with you is that it is easier to learn weapon timings.

My input :).

I got autoabalanced 3 times yesterday. And i was playing ARCHER. But in the end i won and i was the king on the Stoneshill map :P.
Was pretty annoying though.

“Is your sword not a bit short… If ya know what i mean. trollface” Sexual innuendo, ho!
