I agree. I will never not want a lute player behind me. I'll always welcome them to join me. I feel that it makes the game more entertaining, and more entertaining means more fun.

If you're suffering because one or two people on frontline are playing the lute, you should probably work on improving your skills because plenty of people still get top of the board and win, even with a lute player accompanying them.

Don't blame the lute for your loss when it's you that can't compete as well as the other players.

I get enjoyment out of playing the lute and watching people dance around me...
I get even more enjoyment when that one tryhard like the OP goes in to kill me, the lute player, so I votekick his ass and everybody votes yes because they know why I launched the vote

Thank you sire, you are the reason I do what I do. :agathacross:

Dudes!!!! Dito Dito Dito, cannot add anything to it, that is also precisely what keeps me going. I also have combat-ready lute builds! I love making people happy (or mad if those poor souls cant let ppl have fun....) with the lute.

One time we played frontline on camp and the first objective coming from red - there is a house in which I was having a party with some gentlemen, the house was raving (so small but we were like 6 people in there). I was feeling confident that I boost the moral of our men & apparently also the enemies directly outside heard that there was something going on.

One of them wrote: "this one guy playing take on me by abba" - "it cracks me up, i cant play"
I was so happy about that because I had fun, my mates were having fun & even some enemies were having fun & even incapable of properly fighting! Also I can kill with my lute, happened only twice so far, but I never really go for lute fighting :)

EDIT: There is too much negativity in the world, especially in the toxic gaming world & this game with that lute...I dont know, but it really feels different, music really does bring people together, even if its a mediocre MIDI track played via a program on a lute with limited tone range! And it brings so many hilarious situations :D Plus I love the head bobbing from people in combination with these taunts (emotes) + voice action....I am so glad Mordhau exists.

Vivaldi is wonderful, but almost too much for the lute with most MIDIs I found. Yours was really nice, Id also like to play some Wagner, Liszt & Dvorak but I am not quite satisified with the MIDI tracks I got so far but I will keep working on them.

That sounds reasonable and all, but how do you explain that the devs who designed this game made an obviously conscious and deliberate decision to include the lute in it then? Did the Mordhau devs not make a game then, should this be labeled some other form of entertainment instead? I think not.

The lute provides it's own game within the game, where lute players will brave through the treacherous battlefield armed only with a literal blunt instrument to face off against other lute players and prove who is the greater battlefield musician. (I always win.) Just because this game doesn't reflect on the scoreboard the way you would like and you could argue it is a stupid game, it still qualifies.

Also I would argue playing the lute is not completely useless. By actually MOVING as a lute player and positioning yourself by important objectives while rocking out you can draw your team's attention to where they need to be, or distract the enemy while your teammates sneak behind. There is certainly more nuance and finesse to this game than your lute hating brain can comprehend.

Not to mention not all games require competition between players. Has this kid never played Skyrim? Fallout? Hollow Knight?

Well then try f*cking talking english so i can understand you and lay off all the cliche bs that everyone defines differently. Let me guess how you will respond: "fun, im having fun, because its fun, fun"

A "game" is defined strictly as a competition between two or more players. Anything that falls outside of this definition is not a game, but some other entertainment product. This is strictly a game. If it was meant to be a social hang-out where people can impress each other by playing the lute, there would be at the very minimum an in-game voice chat feature. Alas we are meant to be securing objectives and pushing the enemy back to their homes. The description to Frontline does not say "Do whatever you like regardless of the people around you."

"Definition of game (Entry 1 of 4)

"Definition of video game

That said it is annoying when half your team tries to be bards, maybe set a lute limit of like 2 at most. Really, there's no real need for more than 1 but 2 gives someone else the ability to slap people with a lute if they want to as opposed to standing around and using lutebot.

"Try talk engrish so grug understand"

Speaking* is the word you're looking for.

Calling someone a neckbeard is pretty self explanatory ya unga bunga caveman drawing.

Lemme tell ya I have never in my life seen a tryhard, keyboard warrior, cheeto dust, neckbeard, soup brain lookin trogladite as mad as you are right now. My god you are absolutely fuming my guy, you had all morning and afternoon to calm your fat rolls and realize the utter pointlessness of your forum crusades yet here you are still just as buttmad as you were over 12 hours ago.

Should we contact the fire department to bust down your basement door and perform CPR on you? I know it's scary having any real human contact but I fear for your health. That being said they'll most likely be unable to wade through the absolute pig stein you call your basement, so maybe the CDC is more qualified to airlift your 500 pound gamer body out from your chair and into a hospital.

Why play a game if not for F U N

You're clearly not in control of your emotions considering you lashed out and projected your own insecurities onto me despite me not even being apart of the sort of players you hate. You didn't buy this game for everyone so stop trying to police how they play. You're making yourself out to be an insufferable child. Save yourself, freak.

"Hur dee hur fun fun fun" "let me play the game the way i want hur duh dee".

Straight up proved my point; I haven't said fun once in any of my other 2 comments. In fact, you have said fun more times than I have, something you seem to hate. I doubt you could even beat anyone in this whole post. Get better at the game then complain about your team you 4 chinned beast.

Tough luck buddy, just because the small minority of overly competitive people want it out of the game doesn't mean that the devs have to cater to you. This type of game is very bland and boring when you put it down to just the combat. Also like I said, 1 guy with a lute isn't imposing anything on you, the servers are always missing a couple people anyways.

Who are u too say the game is bland & boring. And how would a r*tard running around in spawn with a lute change that. U braindead npc's that laugh at anything are boring & beyond childish. Im startin to wonder how old all these wierdos are that cant grasp basic human brain function. Games have RULES, & you play games to WIN. I get it, u participation trophy guys are scared of losing when u gave it ur best effort. Zero sportsmanship. U just wanna be able to say: "i was just havin fun..." when u get ur tail handed to u. Its discrete cowardice from u juveniles. Pathetic.

You do not play games to win. Well YOU play games to win but as long as rewards are given by gameplay time and as long as you dont win anything worthwhile in frontline.. let people have fun. I have fun by just kicking ass, I dont care if we lose.. if I kill a lot of them and have fun doing it. Aka peter pan build. I beat dudes with executioners and zweihanders with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pan.. should pans be removed too ?
Also why do people complain so much about the lute this is not dota or csgo or lol its a fun type game. A game that you play to chill..

"A "game" is defined strictly as a competition between two or more players"

no. that's absolutely not what a game is. you're just obsessed with competition, for some reason. just admit that everyone gets to play the way they please. you grief people that don't play the way you want. that's about as counter productive as playing the lute.

basically, you're a toxic, self centered idiot highlighting nonsense to assert a nonsensical opinion.
you're no better than them and I'm certain you make the matches far more unpleasant for those around you than the people playing music.

and here one thing games are supposed to be: fun.
