WTF Happened to Chivalry

[Get Dabbed On]

Barely 50 people playing at primetime and every server is a colossal lagfest. The animations are bugged out and I can't even see swings coming or me decapping someone anymore. The graphics and walking anims are worse than I remember them.

I'm not pissed because I had my fun with this game and got my money's worth but lol wut? I tried both 32-bit and 64-bit, same ♥♥♥♥. Oh well, RIP to a good game.

It depends on your location. EU in the evening is the most active area. The servers were fine when I tried them. Primetime has about 380 people:

But ultimately, the game came out in 2012 and people move on. That's why Chiv 2 is in development for release later this year.

Well yeah, Mordhau is out and is just the much better version of Chivalry. The last 50 people on this game probably just love spinning at 1000mph. Maybe once Chivalry 2 comes out, it can do something better than Mordhau and be worth playing.

However the maps and atmosphere didn't beat Chivalry and now the game has been out for a while, people are making similar complaints about people using weird moves.

Yeah first time playing today in over 4 years, full lobby official duel servers are dead. but hearing all the taunts and yells again is still as funny as when it came out very nostalgic, got to give chivalry credit it was a good game its actually a shame the playerbase isnt bigger. "Dont look at me like that. ITS CREEPY"

i have mordhau and chivalry is better. mordhau doesnt feel right. the way the character feels and moves just feels like a floating pixel or something. it feels like im floating around. in chiv the character actually feels like a human in the way it moves and plays. also the combat is better in chiv.

Very on point, twirlybirds ruin everything. I'm looking forward to Chiv 2 though since that will apparently have some sort of anti spin-boi mechanic or whatever. Even the devs finally realised that was the cancer killing the game. Nice

If I get Chiv 2 they will quickly anounce chiv 3 and it will be this problem all over.
I like chiv 2 .... can often find very, very few servers.

Chiv 1 was out for seven years before Chiv 2 was announced. If the pattern continues, Chiv 3 won't be announced until 2027.

Based on my experience, anything is better than Mordhau. What is balance and not catering to people who don't L2P?

The trailer for Chiv 2 looked like a bad joke when compared to the standard set by Mordhau, I personally hold very low expectations for that game. It strikes me as a last desperate attempt at siezing back a very nieche playerbase so that the devs can grow ever more fat from their petty in game microtransactions like they did with their first game.

Still,since many people are not satisfied with the post launch support and amount of content that Mordhau provides I'd say that there is a chance of Chiv2 succeeding. Not a big one,but a chance none the less.

It's been out forever, everyone is waiting for Chivalry 2.

Patience is key.
