[Game] Chivalry: Battle for Agatha

[Reise]

3rd person comes in handy when using large shields or pole weapons. Lets you get a sense of distance a bit easier, and you get the benefit of seeing your true animations, even though the first person ones are already damn close.

It really boils down to preference, I haven't seen anyone (including myself) playing any better because of it.

What really needs work is the dodge and shield animations. Man at Arms can do a UT style dodge, but it often looks like he's just sliding quickly in a direction and there's no way to predict it. Knights using shields also suffer from poorly timed animations, when they block and drop their shield quickly, it doesn't always show to other players. This means it's difficult to tell how you should approach them or if they're attacking.

Since you're in the beta Reise, do you know if there'll be "hardcore" 1st person view locked servers?

Unfortunately, it has 3rd person. Saw it in a vid and the dev commentating confirmed it. It came of as a surprise to me too as they added it what seems pretty late in the development, or at least didn't show it in any prior video material. It will have trade offs like having less precise weapon swings, I think, but i still hope there will be 1st person locked servers as 1st person is what excites me the most about this game.

Looking at this game and how much the combat system is similar to that of mount and blade, my guess is that many players will solely use 3rd person (save archers and throw-weapons), just like in M&B.

It gives you huge advantages over 1st person if you think about it.

No, it doesn't. Like I said before, it's like Resident Evil 4, 5 and 6 camera, with the character on the far left of the screen.

I don't see many advantages. I personally wouldn't stand playing on third person.

I'm not sure, but it's possible. I'd bet if it was requested enough the option would be added.

WTF They posted this on Facebook: "to celebrate the upcoming release the developers are fisting all night!"

This would be better if set in pre-feudal/feudal Japan wif' dose samurai

 

[Fishsticks]

The only thing hokey looking about both war of the roses and chivalry is the lightning speeds in which the avatars move across the ground and change direction. It's kinda an immersion breaker. Hopefully there are server side options to slow the movement speed down while keeping the attack speed high.

I got a beta key from some random site they linked on Facebook. I've been playing for a few days now and I have to say I love the game. It's really intense and immersive, much better than War of the Roses. Really, really fun :IS2:

YARG I WANT A KEY. That Steam gifts event yielded nothing for me sadly.

 

[LightsabeR]

Yeah. Would be nice to try this game out. Most likely won't buy it tho, since I have too many other games on my plate for the near future.

1st person in warband: 50 deaths, 2 kills
3rd person in warband: 50 kills, 30 deaths.

3rd person gives huge advantages, wether you like it or not.

Youre all just fanboys blind for the truth

I can't really tell for sure yet but I think 3rd person options are a server setting. Last time I played only a few were available on one server, and on another there were a bunch of types ranging from your standard Gears/RE type to centered and opposite.
