@random428 so what you are saying is, TBS is basically their publisher thats limited to one platform.

I’m not sure what you mean by that. It doesn’t sound like what I said. Chiv 2 is made by TBS and Tripwire is their publisher on PC and with Deep Silver being the publisher on consoles (as I understand it).

The game is launching on two generations of Xbox, two generations of Playstation and on PC, all at the same time with crossplay. After 12 months it will then launch on Steam as well.

It’s funny that this game started out on the source engine as a mod, then ended up being a epic exclusive.
I prefer my money to go to a company that supports gaming, rather than taking the cut to buy off companies limiting our choices…

Epic is paying money to TBS which allows them to fund 4 years of work to make Chiv 2, while Steam use their monopoly to force small dev teams to accept a terrible deal (30% of sales price even before tax is removed) with no support during development.

If Steam want to support devs, they are the most profitable-per-employee company in the US so they can easily afford to do so.

If gamers think Steam is nice, they are forgetting that games won’t be on the store if the devs who make them aren’t supported as well.

@afazzarozi said in Will Chiv2 have same moderating/admin rules?:

What about smurfs, since the game is a new one, but with same mecanics than the last one, how will you recognize smurfs?

Cause then people can be good cause coming from chivalry 1, and yet not be smurfs of chivalry 2.

What will be the logic against smurfs then?

Smurfs were only a problem on Chivalry 1 if they kept playing on the low rank servers. We don’t even know if there will be low rank servers in Chivalry 2 at this point in time.

@Mr_Gallows Most of the news updates are on the official Discord so that’s the best place to find the most recent info.

The alpha is still running and everything is fine, just delayed a bit beyond the original schedule. I don’t think it’s due for a Q1 release (unless we get very lucky), I think they are just aiming for 2021 without being specific.

COVID rules slowed down development to a degree, but they sorted out how to work from home, etc. The game is due to be released on current and next-gen consoles at the same time as PC (with crossplay over all platforms) so it should be a lot more populated for console players than the first game.

I have no idea about what fps will be available on consoles, though. They’re working hard to optimise the game since it has to run on the current gen, but I don’t currently know more than that.

@loquat said in Discount for Mirage owners?:

It was a good game.

Until it was completely removed from steam with no options for a refund and no longer playable or even accessible.

It was removed from Steam, but AFAIK the game can still be played by those who own it if they host their own servers. It doesn’t have official servers. To quote the original message from TBS

“Players will continue to be able to host their own public or private servers after this point.”

There is a group called the “Mirage Leftovers” who host games and this is the Discord where they are organised:

https://discord.gg/HVSpEx7

They say: “We are the Leftovers from the TBS Game Mirage: Arcane Warfare. We are hosting private servers from EU and NA.
Additionally, sometimes other people open their private servers, for even more slaughter fun.”

@CJ12 Alpha keys are given out randomly to the people who apply. As the alpha is covered by an NDA, you wouldn’t be able to talk about it at all so being a youtuber isn’t an advantage at this stage.

The devs are looking for players who will help the game by giving feedback at the moment. If you want to make videos, keep up with the Chiv 2 discord and wait until the game is at a stage where content can be shared. Maybe when it gets to open beta (I’m not sure how the later stages will be handled so don’t quote me on that).

@Cataclysmm said in Novel concept, stop the cheats:

Re: Chivalry 2 Idea Thread!

Here’s a novel concept, how about securing the game first from cheat engine…My first match 5 of us stabbing and slashing and shooting a single player that was on fire, and one by one he killed us all and continued to kill everyone without injury…He was never once injured or killed in the entire, very short game…It was my last. Lately you DEV’s just completely ignore the fact that these kids download a trainer before the game is done installing or hack it with cheat engine on the first load up. I wont buy the game, I saw enough…I deleted it as soon as it closed. Good luck…

Cheats are rare in Chivalry. All official servers are VAC secured so anyone using known cheats gets an automatic VAC ban after a random amount of time which normally takes a day or two.

If you are unlucky enough to find someone who is cheating, you can contact the admins and we’ll ban the cheater with good enough evidence. Give us their Steam ID so we can find them and get proof.

@fernando-lego said in PC / PLAY crossplay?:

Can I play with my Play friends while I play in PC?

Crossplay between the current and next gen consoles and PC is supported!

@TheOldWiseman I’m afraid that you were caught using threats in the game which were so bad that the devs had no choice but to issue a game ban to safeguard the other users. Honestly, if you only get a game ban and not a visit from the police you can consider yourself lucky. Please consider your interactions with other people very carefully in the future as your use of words can have real consequences even on the internet.

@zumbledum said in epic exclusive?:

For many reasons most self evident , i wont use the epic store but that appears to be the only route to this game , which makes me sad i loved the first one and played for many hours. despite your huge anti consumer move using that platform and helping it with all th ebad things its trying to force on us i wish you luck and i would normally say ill just pick it up in 6 months whenit comes 50% to steam but this is the sort of game you need to be there for the start.

I know my one lost sale wont be a drop in the bucket of the sack of cash epic bought you with , but as the film said if you stand for nothing youll fall for anything.

I bought Chiv 1 over two years after it launched and still got 5k hours out of it so you don’t need to be in at the start. Chiv took over a year to build up patches and content to make it the best version of itself.

Most the hate I’ve seen for Epic has been illogical, contradictory or based on false information.
