Kicking is stupid.

[Nechlord]

I Understand the reason for the mechanic and why its necessary it just doesn't really make sense logically if you think about it.

Mordhau: You kick someone with heavy armour, they're stunned opening them up for an attack.
Real life: You kick someone with heavy armour. Your stunned as you break your foot because you decided to be an idiot and kick someone encased in metal with full force.

Mordhau: you kick someone with a shield at close range and they're stunned opening up an opportunity.
Real life: you kick someone at close range, because your at close range you can't get enough force to do much, they kill you with their sword whilst your trying to kick like an idiot.
Also you kick someone not wearing metal armour and don't hit them in the nuts. The person goes ow, doesn't drop their guard and proceeds to kill you.

Agreed, also, if someone stays alive for too long in heavy armor and gets in a ton of fights, they should die from heat exhaustion.

They should also remove healing, because in real life there's no way you would heal from a sword/blunt wound that quickly.

If you die in the game, it should immediately close, since you can't come back to life in real life.

Yes..let's us remove this annoying kick...

[Scrotum Scratcher]

Kicking 1-3mm of plate armor wouldn't break your foot, and kicks vs shields is needed for balance reasons.

[the Witch-King of Angmar]

Yeah let's remove one of the best counters to ultra aggro players hugging you.

It's true that kicks are pretty silly, but they don't bother me too much because I'm so used to them from all the way back in M&B. I guess they could find a less lazy way to serve the gameplay purpose that kicks serve, though.

GRAPPLING IS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE GAME. GRAPPLING AND BINDING ARE IN MANY HISTORICAL MANUALS FOR MARTIAL COMBAT WITH WEAPONS.

[Beyorlan]

I'm not even gonna waste my time explaining why op is retarded for both gameplay and historical reasons.

"Kicking doing anything to me isn't REALISTIC!"

*shield slides into frame*

"LET ME BREAK SHIELDS WITH TWO SWINGS OF MY SWORD!!!"

"Hey, the warhammer does less damage to full plate than a small hand axe."
"NOT NOW! I'M CRYING ABOUT REALISM!"

Never, ever, trust anyone who tries to whole up "realsim" as their primary argument.

For any game.


ED players: These expensive and bulky disposable drone systems are buggy garbage. give us tractor beams to scoop ore!
Elite Dangerous Devs: Tractor beams would not be REALISTIC, and not lore friendly! We're oldschool devs making an oldschool game.
ED Players: Cool, give us the realistic lore friendly set and forget mining machines from your oldschool games.
ED Devs: Uh.... that wouldn't fit the gameplay we want byyyyyyye. *hides behind crowd of manchildren saying 'hur hurr it's called Elite DANGEROUS not elite casual*

Before they implement a fix here, they really need to do something about pee breaks. How does a person in heavy armor have a pee break during battle? Very imprtant topic please discuss...

Yeah that's why I asked for shields to have durability and be breakable after a certain amount of hits. Giving axes the greatest damage to shields would have made more sense to me than a kick... And the addition of "flails" would have also been nice.

But since this game isn't realistic you shouldn't be getting all worked up over it. That's just how it is.

You've noticed that there's no armor on the groin, and that there's a button there, right?

But REALISTICALLY, knights trained for years to resist the pain of being kicked in the balls!

"Are we sure that was western-"

SHUT UP THINGS HURTING MY PLAYSTYLE ISN'T REALISTIC!

[Nechlord]

I'm kinda in favour of just having a realism mode, where stamina recovers more slowly, kicking only works against light/medium armour and healing is disabled without use of a medic kit. To those who say that grappling is realistic, I agree but kicking is not grappling. Also to those who point to my playstyle, i'm a dodge+spear guy so I'm constantly backpedalling and never get kicked. Its not the playstyle I just think kicking should either just decrease someone with heavy's armour's stamina or do something else. I'm not arguing that it should be removed just changed.

Weird flex but ok.

People: talk about historical accuracy
the game: we never marketed to be realistic, it's "believable fights"

People: but historical accuracy!
Dames (female knights): *actually exist*
people: "wtf we don't need women in this game"

basically, stop using historical accuracy as your excuse, you use shield, you depend on it too much, you got exploited and get punished by the kick

practice fighting without it, you will find the game much more exciting
