I’m a straight up berserker. I keep swinging till my stamina disappears, usually followed shortly after by my head 😅 complete liability to my team. But dam do I have fun 😂 Edit …. I’ve just realised I’m a ‘Timmy’ 😅
you most likely don’t play anymore. that doesn’t sound like sustained fun, leading ur team down every game and dying constantly. i assume you either quit or switched up your play style
I think it's worth mentioning that dedicated duel servers are a really solid way to practice your base mechanics. These of course don't have the advantage of teaching 1vx's, counterattacking while switching targets etc - but I find them invaluable for the exposure to how someone will ACTIVELY try to kill you. Lots of different playstyles, lots of different mechanics people use to gain an advantage.. even stuff not covered in this video like weapon reach, unexpected special attacks, stuff like that. I believe learning the methods by which people try to kill you brings tons of knowledge applicable to TO.
I agree ! I also would say the majority of the people playing the game just want to be good in TO pubs. And that stuff is more complex then this video is intended to be.
I miss when new players come into the game and you just get to see this progression in real time. First they all die immediately, the second week they all start spamming kick and the third week they all start spamming jab. Good guide though man. Should add another tier for those unkillable monsters 😂
I’m level 73 and I’d say I’m between a veteran and a Chad. I’ve spent many hours in 1v1 FFA lobbies refining my skills with a wide variety of players, and I place in the top 5 majority of the time, even being number 1 in the lobby maybe 1/4 of every game, but I still have my weaknesses. Learning the counter fainting was probably the hardest concept I’ve struggled with but I’m getting better. There are still some drag techniques im trying to get better at as well, but once you get really good at this game, I can honestly say it’s one of my favorites multiplayer games of all time especially games that have come out recently. There’s nothing more fun that butchering your way through tons of people and just having the euphoria rush when becoming a hero during the end games. It really is a great time but there’s always more to learn, and your videos do a great job explaining it!
i just learned counter feints was a thing early today and it blown my mind the amount os possibilities its very hard tho any tips? im an average joe accodring to this video mastered slash counters and im starting to train on counter feinting
The fact that nearly everyone in the game is a timmy or a shitter (myself included) speaks to how fun and easy to enjoy the game is, even if you suck you can still have a good time especially in 64 player lobbies
Im kinda in-between avg joe and veteran lol. I also like target switching! I typically get top 10, on occasion top 5. But since my first comment of welcoming me to the family, I've definitely grown! Go me!!!
@@fabiss23 if you get these numbers in last 2-3 months then nope. There was a huge free week then tons of new players flooded the game. Just recently game getting back to what it was like lol not even right now tbh. If you get 70-40's consistently then i can say you are a seasoned vet. But i wonder how you can get 50-30 easly when you can not defeat 3v1's or 2v1's more constantly. What is the class and weapon you are using? Hope you enjoy!
It sounds crazy but the thing that really elevated my gameplay in slashers was going fists only for a long period of time. You really learn how to footwork and even duck swings when you have no other options of defense!
my player level is "the opportunist" i don't know much about all mechanics but im master at reading the game, seeking safe fights and backstabbing the dudes who are already struggling vs 3 or 4 of my allies xD most of the time top 5 in public lobbies No glory but extremely fun :)
Was in a lobby last night and some guy (his name was Cryptic Legend) was killing literally EVERYONE with a dagger. He could not be hit, blocked/countered everything including feints of all kinds, even from behind. 3v1, 4v1 still couldn’t hit him he would eventually just take out everyone 1 at a time. Either this dude was THAT GOOD or he was using an exploit I don’t know about. A fucking dagger.
@StridahsAngels I think that getting ballista'd 3 times in a row kinda makes sense. I'm all right at usingthe siege weapons, but like SauceCodes, BrwnSuperman, Girthworthy and others are better at using the siege weapons. Everytime I'm playing in TO, it's either SauceCodes, BrwnSuperman or someone killing me with a siege weapon.
I remember my play style when the game first came out. I was adamant that all i needed to do was run the dane axe and then dodge, attack, dodge, attack. I typically ended the match on top of the board. Then people started getting good an erasing me. So i just dropped the game. Been thinking about jumping back into the game.
@@bobzthabarbarian In my personal opinion (which I believe is shared by most), Dane Axe is very limiting. It's strength is that almost anyone can pick it up and do well with it, maybe even top leaderboards, but it doesn't teach the real fundamentals of the game. You will stagnate in your growth as a player and never really improve from that. To put it in perspective, almost every great player picked up the Dane Axe at one point when starting out, but then they quickly moved on and never really touched it again. If you want to get good at Chiv, you have to force yourself to play other weapons so you drop the bad Dane Axe habits.
@@JWP190 preciate it. Back when I played I did jump around, but Dane was my sweaty go to. Maybe when I return, I can just leave it alone from the start.
@@bobzthabarbarian I completely understand that. Dane Axe was my sweaty go-to early on too when I first started playing in more of the comp scene and wanted to keep up with all these guys that were so good. There was just a certain point where things clicked for me a bit, and I realized I should start to learn other weapons. Once I did that, I think my overall game improved.
So the main difference between lvl 3 and 4 is being able to counter feint? I feel like if you can counter your also capable of counter feinting (it's basically the same thing just twice in a row).
@@StridahsAngels I feel like I have way to many fights against guys that can counter feint for 5%, but then again I probably will remember the good fights much more than the boring "2 hits, where is the next opponent" fights. Btw do you have any tips for getting into jabs? It's been on my agenda for quite a while but i never find the right place to train with them/use them despite knowing that they are very powerful.
@@StridahsAngels I'm quite new to the game and I can't stop feinting every single attack(used to play m&b warband A LOT- muscle memory), so counter feinting is natural for me, but i still have no idea how to deal with extreme draggers that literally turn around before slashing. Keep missing counters on these ones. Also, I don't like the fact, that you can choose first or third person, in my opinion everyone should have it the same.
I think something to bare in mind is a a shitter or average jo can up into higher teres using noobish weapons, short swords, and one handed spears for example or even gamble sticks such as morning stars, knives and axes. Lets not forget the wild arcing swings of the war axe. What do you reckon on this.
Brings back memories… I remember talking like this during halo 3 considering I was the only person I personally knew to reach lv 50 in ranked matchmaking
@StridahsAngels That practice came in handy the other day because I pub stomped a lobby for the first time and went on a 33 killstreak before I died. Of course, the lobby was full of average Joe's and shitters, but still!
Oh I'm a Timmy for sure. Just started playing a few days ago and the only way I can get kills is by stabbing people in the back who are already being 3v1'd lmao. As soon as I get singled out I am as good as dead. Thank you for this video. Gonna focus on just practicing counters for a bit!
Shit/Joe here (Based on the day). This is a great, short, perfect explanation of what's going on. The only thing I would add (which is quickly found by playing) is each weapon animation/speed Cannot wait to be chad..... 😢 Thank you Stridah!!!
I suppose from a mechanical perspective i should be on chad level. But in TO i still kinda suck, even though I'd probably beat most TO players one on one. I suppose thats mostly because i spent a lot pf time on duel servers. Made my knowledge of the combat mechanics really good but skills like positioning and target selection are still sub par i think. I tend to just run in and fight anyone, usually leading to me getting sorrounded and swarmed.
Literally the best advice I’ve gotten to play better 🙏 I went from a shitter to a joe after you mentioned don’t worry about anything until you can counter the basics. I still need to work on the others but I’m not losing my weapon after two swings lol
You said you could take any player from a total noob to a pro with a few hours a week.. I am going to apply your advice and see where it takes me... might take you up on the offer:)
Yeah, I am definitely at the veteran level, I was able to beat some Chads, but they were all from luck. I was starting to panick and tried to improvise and read how they play, so I try to gind a solution and switch my fighting style.
I think there’s a level 5. people I tend to verse are people who do triple feints by doing attack cancels and crazy mixups using Flourish while mid attack. They can even doing 360 spins while crouching???. What level would you call those people? 😅 Typically you find these people in tournaments or in Duel servers.
You’ve missed some stuff for the chads us chads will also do over head drags while looking away from the player as soon as that swing comes down we connect it by looking at the player as soon as it’s ready to swing down
I played since release on Epic, I always loved the game but ended up taking a yesr or so break as my brother gave up, just returned and whils I remember some stuff I'm definitely a shitter, and I was at least top 10 in lobbies before!
I'm a Chiv 1 -Deadliest Warrior Veteran, so I rely more on flanking with a Greatsword, counter slashes and evading strikes instead of using jabs. Also thought after Chiv 1 and the Dark Souls series that I had built up rage resistance, but having Timmys on my team stand in my way and killing me while I 1vX really pisses me off xd
Im definitely an average joe but i will still give you chads a fight! An good thing to know when kicked just duck most people will do a swing an oh boy have i made people mad!
I’m basically playing fake it till you make it. Sure I do die a lot but damn is it fun bombarding the enemy with jabs, swings, and overhead over and over and they frantically trying to block each attack
Picked up the game with prime today, thanks for this bud. Currently stuck on being a shitter because I panic and just start blasting. I did try to get into mordhau before and I just got bullied by ugly rag wearing peasants with frying pans. I'm really trying to fight the urge and slow it down and defend but something primal awakens in me when I have a battle axe in my hands. I throw a few wild slashes and overheads, hell, throw my axe and just run in swinging with my fists spamming battle cry the whole time. Something that works really well for me on knight is the special ability with longsword, the mordhau grip overhead, seems to catch people and does a hell of a lot of damage or pretty much kills stamina. I also feel if I had a friend who was into this game I could practice actual 1v1s, there might be a mode for that in chiv, would have to check when I go back on. In mordhau you'd kinda do a emote and could somewhat have a 1v1 with someone in the middle of a battlefield and it would somewhat be respected. I am glad that mentality doesn't seem to be shared in this community. I'm from Buenos Aires and I say kill em all!
@@StridahsAngels before you ban your defence against enemy archers and siege weapons, what the hell is drag and accel and all that shit you said but explained merely half of it
When i was new in chiv 2 to get good is staying in duel server not here for kils but just to conter 💯 of all attack All i did was dueling in a defensive mindset We are pretty similar mindset my friend I got kicked a shit ton but now no kick iget true and i commend onlly ppl who can kill me without useing a kick like jollo , waken, goonz , dvs , dave and more Love u all cya in the next dueling session
at 80 i think i just transitioned to level 2 average Joe. im having troubles with recognizing feints in time and countering them. i always end up in the higher part of the score very easily in TO. it feels like i hit a wall but i hope i can evolve.
Tip i can give for fighting multiple people : when bad players outnumber you they usually get in a false sense of security that you can use. For instance enemy A attacks you, you counter or repost and usually by now enemy B will be coming in with their attack. You use the speed of your counter to direct not at enemy A, but Enemy B and will usually have the initiative on them.
I’m somewhere between average joe and veteran, maybe a bit closer to veteran, but I only join lobbies that are full of Chads and Veterans (many of the other commenters) and it makes it easier to get better when you play against people that know what they’re doing, if you mess up you find out quick
When ever steam has a sale and chilvary is in that sale the game gets progressively more easy and leveling up is always the best. But once the sale ends it becomes this grueling and over the top sweaty game that alters my life experience
I’ve gotten really good at parrying and stabbing, then using specials and quick attacks. The only problem I’m having is keeping stamina balanced because I lose it too quickly. And yes 😂 new players are very VERY easy to spot. There character is not custom designed and they hold block the entire time 😂
I would say I m between a veteran and a chad because I use some wierd tactics in battles, like a hit then dodge than dodge again hit- target switch then hit again jumping +other disruptive manuvers and being an unpleasant thing for the enemy , however I always get 3v1 d or many vs1 and I die miserably.😆
Crazy I was looking for something like this and I gotta say I had no idea there were turns to this shit lmao im like a lvl 2-3 I can feint parry jab im a decent player but I do be dying to some pc players them mfs move fast asf parrying everything (im a console player) ima have to look into your movement guide. Also love how you were real asf hit me in ma mf chest with this one 😂
Im lvl 130, recent war axe enthusiast. I still can't get counters down completely though. I usualy get murked on 1v1 and consider myself a bit bellow an average joe. Despite all this I somehow find myself consistntly ranking top 5 in 99% of public lobby matches I play 😂
@@StridahsAngels I know lol… it’s funny to give them a false sense of hope sometimes only to then bring them back to reality! Makes them almost as upset when their mom tell them they’re out of pizza rolls and capri suns!🤣 cucks!
lol in Mordhau playing an archer can be fun and it takes skill to become really good, playing archer is chivalry 2 is just lame and boring, I have no idea why would anyone want to be archer in chivalry, it sucks
Just brought the game today, played for 5hrs and honestly I wouldn't call myself a lvl 0 but probably 1 or so, mostly cause I do burn stamina fast and i get kicked pretty often but nonetheless I am pretty close to lv2 since I got the hang of countering...for the most part
i got my KD to around 2.1-2.5 from just playing the game myself. Is that considered good in Chiv2? im only level 80 but im genuinly always top 3 of my team. going off your video, id say im a higher end joe, maybe already a lower end veteran already as I am good at reposing, counter attacking, dragging attacks when outnumbered and gambling with ducks, kicks and shoves.
Im definitely a timmy which is fine cause ive only played it for one day but the game is hella inconsistent. Cant count the amount of times people blocked my hits while having their backs towards me. Having dodge and jump be 1 button is completely messing me up too. Not my type of game i guess which is too bad cause i like the setting and premise.
I just got the game yesterday and my first game i popped the fuck off (for a new player so like 14 kills) and was suprised when u said 5 kills in one whole match.
Ah, I'm not as bad as I thought then. Average Joe for me then. Don't really have time or inclination to practice all that much because I'm playing 3 different games atm, so I'll just be comfortable here then.
you forgot Chad++ dudes like me who have 6k+ hrs in mordhau and 5-8k in chiv xD knowing the precise time differences between each and every weapon for squeezing initiative out of accels or regularly taking down 1v6's target switching getting between 30-50 kills a match with only 1 or 2 deaths
Jokes apart, I'm at level 50, bad most of the time, literally shit on 1 vs 1. How long it takes to be just a little bit good at this game? So frustrating
If you can consistently counter-feint I'm sorry but ur an actual fucking GOD like holy shit this is IMPOSSIBLE and I'm considered a Veteran by this ranking. I just cant counter feint for shit.
Good to see this game is still getting some love, I like the premise. Sadly nearly everyone I know on console who used to play it has bailed. Mostly because of the god awful crossplay system it has. Ah well.
Hard to tell, because it really depends on my mood too. I joined late to this game, and my rig is far from optimal to handle it smooth now. Have 200+ hours on it since I started playing it 2+ months ago, currently rank 278. In public lobbies of TO, if playing alone I'm a mix of "Shitter Average Joe" roleplaying and being social with VO's and battlecries while throwing decent fights. If I'm feeling like playing serious with the mates, I'm a Veteran bordering a Chad. After more than 4000 hours over the years/decades (since 2008) on the Mount&Blade series more competitive scene, I'm at an age and place in life that I cannot be aiming at being a Chad 24/7, the occasional banter is a must. This must also be the reason why I "dislike" having the concept of initiative, versus actual reflexes and empirical actions, and it happened which M&B. Also, I miss chambers.
im a level 1 shitter LMAO but i sometimes get the salty attention of the enemy top player cursing me out calling me shit in game chat i take pride in that
Dont know why, when i play a 1v1 i mostly win. A 2v1 or 3v1 i lose, but when its a 4v1 or higher some how i always kill them all. Im like a lvl 2/3 a veteran Joe i quess 😂😂😂 my last 3 games where arond 60 takedowns and 20/25 deaths

Yeah, I am definitely at the veteran level, I was able to beat some Chads, but they were all from luck. I was starting to panick and tried to improvise and read how they play, so I try to gind a solution and switch my fighting style.
I think there’s a level 5. people I tend to verse are people who do triple feints by doing attack cancels and crazy mixups using Flourish while mid attack. They can even doing 360 spins while crouching???. What level would you call those people? 😅
Typically you find these people in tournaments or in Duel servers.
You’ve missed some stuff for the chads us chads will also do over head drags while looking away from the player as soon as that swing comes down we connect it by looking at the player as soon as it’s ready to swing down
Epic video, ty. I'm between an average joe, and a veteran. LVL 600
I played since release on Epic, I always loved the game but ended up taking a yesr or so break as my brother gave up, just returned and whils I remember some stuff I'm definitely a shitter, and I was at least top 10 in lobbies before!
I'll be a chad soon enough 😂 great video and love the tier names
Keep training! Ty mate ❤️
I'm a Chiv 1 -Deadliest Warrior Veteran, so I rely more on flanking with a Greatsword, counter slashes and evading strikes instead of using jabs.
Also thought after Chiv 1 and the Dark Souls series that I had built up rage resistance, but having Timmys on my team stand in my way and killing me while I 1vX really pisses me off xd
Im definitely an average joe but i will still give you chads a fight! An good thing to know when kicked just duck most people will do a swing an oh boy have i made people mad!
I’m basically playing fake it till you make it. Sure I do die a lot but damn is it fun bombarding the enemy with jabs, swings, and overhead over and over and they frantically trying to block each attack
Picked up the game with prime today, thanks for this bud. Currently stuck on being a shitter because I panic and just start blasting. I did try to get into mordhau before and I just got bullied by ugly rag wearing peasants with frying pans. I'm really trying to fight the urge and slow it down and defend but something primal awakens in me when I have a battle axe in my hands. I throw a few wild slashes and overheads, hell, throw my axe and just run in swinging with my fists spamming battle cry the whole time. Something that works really well for me on knight is the special ability with longsword, the mordhau grip overhead, seems to catch people and does a hell of a lot of damage or pretty much kills stamina.
I also feel if I had a friend who was into this game I could practice actual 1v1s, there might be a mode for that in chiv, would have to check when I go back on. In mordhau you'd kinda do a emote and could somewhat have a 1v1 with someone in the middle of a battlefield and it would somewhat be respected. I am glad that mentality doesn't seem to be shared in this community. I'm from Buenos Aires and I say kill em all!
Can you make an Archer guide next?
Banning you 😂😂
@@StridahsAngels 🤣🤣🤣
lol
@@StridahsAngels before you ban your defence against enemy archers and siege weapons, what the hell is drag and accel and all that shit you said but explained merely half of it
@@PapaRunebeard watch my beginners guides
When i was new in chiv 2 to get good is staying in duel server not here for kils but just to conter 💯 of all attack
All i did was dueling in a defensive mindset
We are pretty similar mindset my friend
I got kicked a shit ton but now no kick iget true and i commend onlly ppl who can kill me without useing a kick like jollo , waken, goonz , dvs , dave and more
Love u all cya in the next dueling session
❤️
Im currently a level 200 sitting at veteran. Them counter feints are definitely my weakness
Yeah they take a comfort with the animations
goated guide. thanks for this.
No problem!!!
at 80 i think i just transitioned to level 2 average Joe. im having troubles with recognizing feints in time and countering them. i always end up in the higher part of the score very easily in TO. it feels like i hit a wall but i hope i can evolve.
Tip i can give for fighting multiple people : when bad players outnumber you they usually get in a false sense of security that you can use. For instance enemy A attacks you, you counter or repost and usually by now enemy B will be coming in with their attack. You use the speed of your counter to direct not at enemy A, but Enemy B and will usually have the initiative on them.
Yup target switching
You can also get them to damage each other, making it all the more easier for you or a teammate to kill them
I’m somewhere between average joe and veteran, maybe a bit closer to veteran, but I only join lobbies that are full of Chads and Veterans (many of the other commenters) and it makes it easier to get better when you play against people that know what they’re doing, if you mess up you find out quick
Great content, nice breakdown analysis , pretty informative and objective.
Depending where my focus is at, I am anywhere from lvl 1 to lvl 4, but usually a solid 3.
I'm definitely a timmie lol fun game, need to learn to play forsure, thanks for advice
When ever steam has a sale and chilvary is in that sale the game gets progressively more easy and leveling up is always the best. But once the sale ends it becomes this grueling and over the top sweaty game that alters my life experience
looks like im in between "average joe" and "veteran" but occasionally play as a "shitter"
😂😂 happens to the best of us
Do you think knights and what not shit on archers back in the day like we do now?
Definitely
Sometimes i feel like a chad sometimes a feel like an average joe
Very nice video! Can you make a rainbowdrag tutorial?
I’ll put it on my list ❤️ ty dude
I’ve gotten really good at parrying and stabbing, then using specials and quick attacks. The only problem I’m having is keeping stamina balanced because I lose it too quickly. And yes 😂 new players are very VERY easy to spot. There character is not custom designed and they hold block the entire time 😂
Just started the game 2 days ago hoping I’m more of the level 2 average Joe but the shitter still in me
9:38 why do I get the feeling this had another name
Hahahaha
9:46 how to be chad: abuse archers before rushing the enemy line
I would say I m between a veteran and a chad because I use some wierd tactics in battles, like a hit then dodge than dodge again hit- target switch then hit again jumping +other disruptive manuvers and being an unpleasant thing for the enemy , however I always get 3v1 d or many vs1 and I die miserably.😆
Crazy I was looking for something like this and I gotta say I had no idea there were turns to this shit lmao im like a lvl 2-3 I can feint parry jab im a decent player but I do be dying to some pc players them mfs move fast asf parrying everything (im a console player) ima have to look into your movement guide. Also love how you were real asf hit me in ma mf chest with this one 😂
😂😂😂 glad it was helpful my man!
Im lvl 130, recent war axe enthusiast. I still can't get counters down completely though. I usualy get murked on 1v1 and consider myself a bit bellow an average joe. Despite all this I somehow find myself consistntly ranking top 5 in 99% of public lobby matches I play 😂
Maybe this can help all the archers out their become real players 🤣🤣🤣
there is no helping those people
archers are not players they have no skill so they hide behind the crowd. They are non confrontational human beings.
@@StridahsAngels I know lol… it’s funny to give them a false sense of hope sometimes only to then bring them back to reality! Makes them almost as upset when their mom tell them they’re out of pizza rolls and capri suns!🤣 cucks!
@@lgnrome you have delusions
lol in Mordhau playing an archer can be fun and it takes skill to become really good, playing archer is chivalry 2 is just lame and boring, I have no idea why would anyone want to be archer in chivalry, it sucks
Just brought the game today, played for 5hrs and honestly I wouldn't call myself a lvl 0 but probably 1 or so, mostly cause I do burn stamina fast and i get kicked pretty often but nonetheless I am pretty close to lv2 since I got the hang of countering...for the most part
I love this game. I'm old and just started last night. level 12 and I'm getting smashed. It's a lot of fun.
I think I'm def a pub stomper vet, console is hard sometimes 😢 tech can feel clunky on controller
i got my KD to around 2.1-2.5 from just playing the game myself. Is that considered good in Chiv2? im only level 80 but im genuinly always top 3 of my team. going off your video, id say im a higher end joe, maybe already a lower end veteran already as I am good at reposing, counter attacking, dragging attacks when outnumbered and gambling with ducks, kicks and shoves.
I like to feint and spin! Spin Spin Spin!!!
thanks
from a humble timmie
Im definitely a timmy which is fine cause ive only played it for one day but the game is hella inconsistent. Cant count the amount of times people blocked my hits while having their backs towards me.
Having dodge and jump be 1 button is completely messing me up too.
Not my type of game i guess which is too bad cause i like the setting and premise.
Hope to see you on the field one day 😜 if you run into Pathfinders-Mind, id love a duel
I just got the game yesterday and my first game i popped the fuck off (for a new player so like 14 kills) and was suprised when u said 5 kills in one whole match.
Ah, I'm not as bad as I thought then. Average Joe for me then. Don't really have time or inclination to practice all that much because I'm playing 3 different games atm, so I'll just be comfortable here then.
❤️ cheers joe
Should I just learn the veteran and chad manoeuvres then?
you forgot Chad++ dudes like me who have 6k+ hrs in mordhau and 5-8k in chiv xD knowing the precise time differences between each and every weapon for squeezing initiative out of accels or regularly taking down 1v6's target switching getting between 30-50 kills a match with only 1 or 2 deaths
Jokes apart, I'm at level 50, bad most of the time, literally shit on 1 vs 1. How long it takes to be just a little bit good at this game? So frustrating
What public servers do you usually play on?
East
How did you faint and then strike with the same opposite attack?
I love the term "Timmies"
A gaming classic
I sometimes smash through 15 enemies at once on a bridge and sometimes die immediately 5x;
If you can consistently counter-feint I'm sorry but ur an actual fucking GOD like holy shit this is IMPOSSIBLE and I'm considered a Veteran by this ranking. I just cant counter feint for shit.
❤️
Good video! above chad here on the road to lvl 1k, I confirm you get humbled at the events
❤️ty much mate
How do you counter special attack spammers?
Jab or gamble them
Play whatever and be ass until you unlock highland sword, play highland sword until your fingers bleed. You’ll be good
3 days post install I’m definitely a shitter lol . Perfectly described how I play
Good to see this game is still getting some love, I like the premise. Sadly nearly everyone I know on console who used to play it has bailed. Mostly because of the god awful crossplay system it has. Ah well.
Hard to tell, because it really depends on my mood too. I joined late to this game, and my rig is far from optimal to handle it smooth now. Have 200+ hours on it since I started playing it 2+ months ago, currently rank 278.
In public lobbies of TO, if playing alone I'm a mix of "Shitter Average Joe" roleplaying and being social with VO's and battlecries while throwing decent fights. If I'm feeling like playing serious with the mates, I'm a Veteran bordering a Chad.
After more than 4000 hours over the years/decades (since 2008) on the Mount&Blade series more competitive scene, I'm at an age and place in life that I cannot be aiming at being a Chad 24/7, the occasional banter is a must. This must also be the reason why I "dislike" having the concept of initiative, versus actual reflexes and empirical actions, and it happened which M&B. Also, I miss chambers.
Ahhh I’m a shitter but seem to always get in top ten. Might get better once I adjust to M&k 🤔
hej when u say train in lobby where do u mean to train counter slash ? in duwal or ? many people just kill each other their
I can be the best player sometimes
But I get so scared of dying I don't really put myself out there
How do you feel better about dying
if you become almost everytime first place on puplic leaderboards but sometimes get fucked by level 1000 monsters, are you then still chad ?
Just started playing three days ago and already top 10 in public lobbies, I just pretend I'm back playing for honor 6 years ago lol
im a level 1 shitter LMAO but i sometimes get the salty attention of the enemy top player cursing me out calling me shit in game chat i take pride in that
Dont know why, when i play a 1v1 i mostly win. A 2v1 or 3v1 i lose, but when its a 4v1 or higher some how i always kill them all. Im like a lvl 2/3 a veteran Joe i quess 😂😂😂 my last 3 games where arond 60 takedowns and 20/25 deaths
Coming from mordhau its hard to get used to overhead being its own button
Archer at 9:42 lmao
