combat

[hule]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks. Worst medieval combat i have ever experienced. I hope you guys update the game or a company like mordhau just swoops in and makes it skill based rather than gear based

edit: I was being a little harsh. the game is good. Combat needs to be orientated more towards skill than gear doe

Even if they had mordhau combat, the existence of stats and attributes means it will always be gear base.


How about you go play mordhua.

Oh that's right because it's dead due to its combat being so brutal to new and casual players that no one wanted to stick it out unless they dump all their time into it. Then we got dark and darker buttery looking ass here with clunky simple controls and easy to pick up mechanics.

Mordhau? You mean the game with an average of 1-2k players? That never seems to gain or hold pop? That game?

You do realize those hardcore PVP medieval games always die right? War of the roses anyone?

Nobody enjoys fighting against spinning ballerinas as a newb, Dark and darker combat is simple and clunky sure.

But its easy for newbies to learn the basic concepts and have a fighting chance against (most) of the playerbase, elite players will stink dunk on you, but the skillgap isnt such a chasm that you get insta'd all the time

I'll admite, I'm a verm 1 and 2 and dark-tide vet, well over 5000 hours combined, so I'm not new to the dance of combat that most the outher new players seem to be having such a hard time w/

Well those games arent exactly...dificult as far as melee goes, they are more about dodging and blocking directionally, and spamming attacks.

Dark and darker has a (rare) true block system, wich isnt seen in most games. With all blocks or parries having true hitboxes, hell npc archers can hit you through tiny gaps in walls.

and for the life of me I can not get the block in this game down for any thing, but dancing, dodging, and out moving every thing/one, yes'sums!

If you mean with shields its easy, just swing your shield in the direction the strike is coming, if overhead it might help to kneel, also make sure to not be kissing your oponent, as the strike may go through.

If we tak about the sword, similar idea, but more thin parry area, so you gotta be really precise and quick.

well, I'm autisic, and kinda get hyper focused, and still used to the "forgiving" block of tide. its a me thing, I just chose to give up on block and focus on what I am good at and train that

Basically blocking on Tide is like a barrier infront of you, blocking here- is the shield, just the shield, the hitbox of the shield itself, your legs, head. Still visible.

Angle shield upward to cover your head when walking, kneel to cover your legs-etc

yeah, a hit box of its own, if there was a arena to train in I could practice it and get it down in peace, but I like to enjoy my games, and am good at dancing, my autism allows me to see patterns easy so i pick up on them fast and adapt to them. so its easy to just move, every one goes on about how "clunky" the game is, pish, but its about thinking out your moves and planing and baiting and counter att. dunno, just makes since to me
