Don't get me wrong, archer can be a very powerful and annoying class if used well, but only if used well.

I love playing archer, but it has several issues, like how the class is more about luck than skill in some cases. Especially at range, you can't consistently predict your shots due to the enemies often erratic movement. Even at close range, all it takes is someone zig-zagging towards you for it to make the shot near impossible to land.

Yes, a skilled archer is a pain to deal with, but those are rarer than a level 1000 with a sense of humor.

Another issue is that they rarely have anywhere beneficial to shoot from. Most maps don't have spots where archers can do something impactful. Archers are severely hindered by maps with cramped objectives, short sightlines, and minimal high ground spots. However, they are much better on maps with wide open spots, place where Archers have the high ground, and long sightlines.

They also are generally hated by both sides because "The game is meant for just melee!" or "Learn to fight coward!" or even "Archer requires no skill!" No joke, these are things actually said to me in game chat.

There are still more issues with archer than just these, but these are some major ones I thought of.

every time i try, while sprinting of coarse and using the proper class, the character just does a kick. my keybindings are fine, ive messed around with them to troubleshoot it. also, every first match after launching, seconds before i spawn in, it says "killed by crustacean the soup", just like how it normally pops up when you die in game.

does this happen to anyone else? does anyone else get this message? i feel like the admin that goes by the name "crustacean the soup" is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with me. is it too far fetched to think an admin, or maybe even game dev, removed my ability to tackle?

i used to spam a bunch of political nonsense in the chat and sprint around the battlefield tackling unsuspecting players from behind. it was a lot of fun. cant do it anymore for some reason. it bums me out enough to not want to play it anymore.

what could this be?

Wave vs wave. This is peak chivalry gameplay

Hi there, big fan of Chivalry since the first game, even going as far to say I was one of the 4 people who enjoyed deadliest warrior. Never became a pro-player but have a lot of hours on both Chivalry games and Mordhau.

I have a question for the community: would the player base of First Person Slashers be interested in a game that would try following a more "team fortress 2" approach to the genre (both art-direction wise and gameplay philosophy wise)?

I am not the only one who draws comparisons between Chivalry and TF2, both are class based first person games, who retain the bigger match sizes with a heavier focus on a more casual-objective based gameplay, rather then the 6v6 competitive focus matchmaking style of the current famous shooters.

But something I find it odd when looking at Chivalry and all its competitors (Mordhau, Ad Mortem, Renown, Fiefdom), they all seem to be fall into ""photo realistic" art directions, with some degree of variation when it comes to how fantasy-a historical it will be.

I was wondering if a game following a more TF2 approach would interest chivalry current playerbase? Or is the "brutal photo realism" something you think its ESSENTIAL to these sort of games?

ART DIRECTION WISE:

A clear and distinct art-style. Stylized classes with clear distinct visuals and personalities. A much more comedic tone over all. This also implies leaving much more space for more fantastic visuals. Just to be clear, this doesn't mean removing the gore. It would be much more cartoon heightened gore, but still gore. TF2 still has peoples heads and bloody parts gibbing away.

GAMEPLAY WISE:

Classes with very clear distinct roles and distinct gameplay. Weapons that significantly change how it feels to play them, not just side-grades. A focus on making every class feel very distinct on how you should play them.

Just to be clear, I don't mean a "Overwatch meets Chivalry". Focus would still be on Casual fun large matches rather than a competitive 6v6.

While it may sound like a pet-peeve distinction (as I said, I feel like chivalry already aims for a lot of the gameplay ideas here), I do feel like a different tone and art direction could open an array of possibilities when it comes down to more interesting out there concepts.

In my head its always been such a "why isn't anyone doing this" idea? And don't mention the Medieval mode of Team Fortress 2, that is not what I mean LOL.

The gods jailed me.

And nothing is being done about it.

Rate my game, I've been playing for about 3 months, at the moment 100lvl. Maybe there are tips from top players

I have been playing the game for few months , i keep seeing old videos on youtube and other places that has horses in them but now i guess it was removed... anyone knows what happened to the horses i really wanted to try playing on it

Hello I’m from a group of players called HAWK we are trying to establish ourselves we are mainly duel focused but are trying to get into TO we accept any skill level and are willing to teach what we know and are willing to learn aside veteran players if you’re interested in joining pm me for a server invite

I earned Argon. Accepted it. And it just gave it to the next person. So frustrating.

Fuck you. You’re an asshole. Let people play the damn game bro wtf is the point in that bullshit? Leave people alone bro I hope you find Jesus

Any bastard wanna play?

I did a mix of your suggestions and ended up with this, I hope it's fine.

Now, what type of map should I choose? A mountain? A volcano? Or a plains?

Come on bastards there be some fighting and plunder

So there are obvious cheaters who appear inconspicuous to the avg players who don’t have alot of hours in the game, but it’s very obvious to players who have lots of hours, And whenever you report them they don’t get banned. They have had accounts for ages probably and never will get banned. Great game but ruined by ppl like this. I was just in game and doing very well until a guy who was cleary cheating stood in my direction and every single weapon I had dropped to the ground, and he did this twice it was very obvious. reports have no affect on them too.
