Just started playing here. Only completed the tutorial so far.

What's the skill gap between high level players and newbies? Is it so far that if they run up against eachother there's no way for the newbie to win? I remember Chiv 1 having some weapon swing delay exploit or something and people who learned that were doing some stupid looking but game breaking helicopter duels and killing people in seemingly impossible ways.

How well do you play when you run into a group of enemies? Do you actually employ the tactics learned in the tutorial, like riposte and stuff, or do you just turn off your brain and swing like mad? After the tutorial, they throw you into that Agatha/Mason battle and I tried to put into practice those things, but up against a large group and being nearly surrounded on all sides, I couldn't help but just swing at everyone.

Why do people hate archers? I haven't played it yet but I remember it being pretty hard to get good with in the first game.

Git Gud, or shut up and nut up and enjoy the game for what it is. Funny thing about bullying is that it used to be a way to make people strive to be better based on society's norms. Now we accept and encourage everyone to be whatever their mental illness defines them as nowadays; where if bullying strongly existed as it has in the past, we'd have fewer people defining themselves as cats needing to use the kitty litter box.

Imagine thinking being a huge jackass is a virtue.

There isn't really anything game breaking like that as far as I know.

You have to keep an eye on your stamina and learn how to counter and try not to fight outnumbered or it will be impossible. Most fights on 64v64 TO or 40v40 are people jumping each other or taking opportune hits to finish off injured folks so the skill gap is negligent and it's more about timing and awareness.

I like playing archer because it feels a lot different than the melee and also is a good way to piss people off lmao

They're just like any other high level in most games like this, 4k hours playing 8 hours a day. Nothing special, just shows why the game only has 2,000 players. Its a shame considering the game is really fun.

This guy gets it. From one bridge to another, I salute you.

It's about the comedy moments. If people want to sweat, run around your team pressing C with the flute and bonk the sweats when they get tired of your mad flute skills.

I will admit in the early days of Chiv 1 and here when everything was new, fun was found in experimentation. Eventually the Messer knight meta evolved but there were some heroes who kept the true way alive. MAA Boxers, Slingers, Heavy flail.

I feel our only counter to bullying is a unified front. It falls on all of us to remind folks. "It's a pub" Save the tournament play for the tournament servers.

I'm not saying bash lvl 1000's for being no lifers etc. What I am saying is we need to promote a fun game to play as a community, if we want any real reason to get sweaty over it. That's everyone, from the Vets who pop in from time to time, to the Newbie still trying to learn. You can usually tell by how your opponent fights what their skill level is. Don't Dragon Fist the grandma, and don't talk ♥♥♥♥ to the Bruce Lee impersonator.

I'm one of the higher-ranked players, and honestly, I just focus on taking down whoever's in front of me—taunting is just part of the fun for me, and I do it to everyone. I never know who's new or not, so please don't take it personally. Just try to have fun with the game! :)

I’ve also had people taunt me and even make fun of me for playing too much, so I totally get how it can feel. Just keep practicing, and you’ll get better—it’s all part of the journey!

[Puppy Boy]

Player base is toxic as ♥♥♥♥ and full of egotistical sweats who think their gods given gift to the world.

Thats your answer

Okay Sasuke

I wouldn't say I'm 'new' since I played a bit of Chiv 1, and now have some time in Chiv 2 - most people are just here for a good laugh/time, or fun duels. You get ganged up on in every mode, even last team standing.

If you want 1v1 duels go to the duelyard servers, in the server browsers. Not always a guarantee but if you just hang out and are chill, wait in line or w/e, people will do duels. Arena duels are not the way to get a lot of duels in fast.

If you keep feeling like you're ganged up on, try and stay with your team. "Hold the line" works pretty well, watch their backs and they'll try to watch yours, and you get blind-sided a lot less

This, a lot - I do the laugh emote a lot using the rapier, just because it feels in character lol

Roleplay is half the fun, when you're getting crapped on anyway
