Some info, tips and explanations relating to bugs and general gameplay mechanics.

1. The server browser takes eons to refresh but it probably does work for everyone. Set the gamemode, and apply the filters, hit refresh and wait literally 20 full seconds and it should populate the list. Obviously it should at the very least show you that it is working on it and I don't see why it takes so long but it is useable.

2. They know about and have responded to the gold/XP problem. I seem to have better luck on Official servers, which i find in the server browser. Might be a coincidence though.

3. On the map "Camp" on the Red side there is a ballista that covers the right side (looking out from Red's base) and for the most part will insta kill anything you hit, it is great for taking out horses once you get the timing down. But it can't turn far enough left to cover the point so you are mostly picking off horses and people flanking. If you are on blue and it is causing you a head ache, you can easily get past it by going far to either side and it won't be able to turn far enough to hit you, you can then come up to the gunner and kill them. But also DESTROY the ballista, it takes 30 seconds by default to respawn.

4. Look out for health packs on the ground, they heal you to full health and often go ignored.

5. The toolbox spawns with half the ammo it can hold, and if you press R it cycles between 2 or 3 things you can build. Without full ammo you can build a piece of cover for archers and it blocks doorways or you can build some spikes which will kill anyone that runs into them and also block doorways. But with full ammo you can build a mini-ballista that does very good damage and reloads very fast but has terrible range of motion side to side. It is fun and has a "magazine" of 5 that slowly refills.

6. Pressing R changes your grip on weapons, this means different things for different weapons but it will immediately throw a single handed weapon, well it takes a second to work but you can't cancel it unfortunately.

7. Try to use horses with weapons well suited for it, mostly long swinging weapons. On the Tiagra map the horse spawn has several lances next to it that are devastating if you get the hang of them.

8. While on horseback your priority is to never stop, if you stop you are dead. It is better to mess or "fail" an attack run because your target moved behind something than it would be to try and turn only to hit a wall and now you are stopped with all the enemies around you.

9. Some people completely missed the perks section, myself included at first. There are some really useful ones in there like "friendly" which reduces friendly fire both done to you and that you cause as well as Bloodlust which completely heals you on kill.

Finally, a few minor notes. The team colors get easily covered in blood making it tough to distinguish between a blue guy covered in blood and a red guy. People seem to complain about this more on blue team so it seems to mostly affect them but in theory it causes problems for both teams.

Most of the stair cases in the game spiral in the wrong direction. Castles almost always built spiral staircases going up to the right as it gave the right handed defenders and advantage against the right handed invaders. The inner wall of the spiral made it difficult to attack if you were moving up the stair case and therefor provided some extra defense for the people on top of the staircase. Not really important but wanted to mention it.

You can kick doors open, in addition, kicking a door open with someone behind it knocks them down. Gives you plenty of time to end them.

Damn, sorry to hear its not working. Did you try with different combinations of filters and game modes?

Have you been able to connect to any games at all? If not maybe it is a problem with your network?

I really don't know then, hopefully it gets fixed soon.
