I don't know but I love this game, I do wish it was more popular. Only thing I hate about it is the racism, I've reported so many people for racial slurs and they never get banned from Steam.

>thinking anyone will ever get banned in mordhau for being based

I don't know but I didn't really care for this game, so I don't care if it gets more popular. The only thing I enjoyed about it was the racism, I've posted so many racial slurs and never got banned from Steam.

Easy (You)'s
Game died from a lack of updates and the same usual shitter tryhards using the gay drags that killed Chivalry, & that will kill Chivalry 2 when it comes out aswell

Swing manipulation slashers are cursed to be broken by their fundamental mechanics and doomed to die

this a steep mountain to climb

Too slow and methodical to capture casual audiences.

what the fuck ever happened to the new mount and blade?

>le i am forgotten meme

Any game that has online gameplay and is not moderated by some kike report system is based. I spam slurs about joggers in them endlessly to keep faggots like you afraid of playing. We need more organic online communities like we had before 2010.

i dont get it, whats wrong with racism? the more racist someone is the more based they are

nigger

lvl 150 800 hours diamond 3 - elite one in ranks stopped playing long time ago.

Its a really aspergic game to get good at and kinda bullshit alot of the time. Bastard sword had un readable animations in the hands of good players. GS is hands down the best weapon in the game and i stopped playing mostly cus of longsword head accels and greatword waterfalls cus u need 30mg of adderal to parry. fun game tho for sure, but u didnt miss much

I just wish more games were like this. The most developers should be doing is adding a manual mute button and that's IT. If I want to call other people niggerfaggots or whatever in my online game that I paid for, that's my right. It makes the game more fun.

I still play it, it's fun and it's still far from dead

They are always, ALWAYS ruined by shitters abusing mechanics to ruin the goofy fun of them and indirectly bully anyone playing them as intended out. If you like that shit, good for you, but that is ALWAYS why these games have their playercounts fall off a fucking cliff.

the skill cap is too high for the average retard

Its skill ceiling is too high. Same reason MMOs got casualized. The average gamer does not want to feel too challenged, and that's just a fact.

>the game got killed by the dedicated playerbase
>the casuals that play for a week when a new map gets released should be the target audience

By the time I finally got around to playing this it was full of dudes who clearly hadn't done anything other than play this and get really inexplicably mad at black people since it came out and it was just a massive turnoff.

I played it for 50 hours it was an incredibly fun game and I think for the average player it's much more enjoyable if you just play the big fights with all the chaos and go crazy don't take it too serious. Not play the duels and minmax every single swing and abuse animations etc.

I'll never not be mad about how u*isoft handled For Honor.

the irony of this post. maybe do your research and learn about who Mordhau was made by and who they had playtest it
Hint: it wasn't people like you

from what i've gathered, devs still can't figure out melee combat in 2021 - 31 days

reddit niggers thinking funni face and voicelines are the pinnacle of humor need to kill themselves
The game was literally made by chiv compfags and swing manipulation is in the tutorial.

Steam chart doesnt lie friend

Just own it man. Being Asian I made chink in armour jokes nonstop in Chivalry.

Because the skill ceiling is usually high as hell to require hundreds of hours to became good and the majority of devs for these are indie devs who can't instantly shit out content to keep casuals and zoomers playing.

you're right dood just release a new map every week wtf why didn't they think of that

melee games are always like this, and will continue to be. It applies to fighting games like Tekken as well. Any game where individual skill is so strongly fronted results in large player dropoffs after the initial buy-in. It's a problem of hopelessness, when you are facing an opponent you quite literally cannot defeat. What is your reason to keep playing? Not everyone has the same internal drive to keep going in the face of complete defeat, or the hours to achieve mastery in an online videogame.

Mordhau tried to stymie this by adding a bunch of one shot mechanics to a large scale game mode (48p frontline/invasion) such as horse couched attacks, stones, ballista, catapult, firepot. Anything to let a noob feel like they can contribute. Ultimately this was not enough to retain the casual audience.
I still play mordhau, but mainly to fuck around. 2k hours mordhau since 2017, 3k hours chiv, competitive in both for a brief time. These games will follow this player trend until they can somehow bridge the skill gap.
However I worry that bridging skill differences in a game like this cheapens the thrill of learning the combat system.

meta faggots ruined it with their helicopter strats

There are community mods who have the power to globally mute people across every server. This game is AIDS as are the people who continue to support it

is there a chivalry-tier duel mode in this? i don't much care for big battles and getting teamkilled by spastics mashing buttons

unfortunately not, you just go on a custom deathmatch server with duel in the title and flourish others for their consent
There's ranked mode but nobody plays it and the down time between matches is massive

turns out people like (you) aren't that common, which is why these games die.
If you hate casuals, don't complain when they don't play your game.

the game isn't dead though
No dedicated player gives a shit about casual niggers
