Finally bought this. Is there a way to re-bind the controller controls? Also for that matter, is there a full list of controller controls?
That reminds me, could I get an invite in to the group as well? Steam ID is Psychoward.Woxxi said:Hello ,
I sent a PM to ROBOKITTYZILLA but if anyone on the group sees my message, here is my steam ID.
I'd really like to be invited on this NeoGAF Chivalry steam group.
Thank you.
edit: ROBOKITTYZILLA sent me an invite, now i can play with neogaf members

Friend and I are playing this right now for free weekend. I bought it for $8.49 after one round. Seems like it could be a good time.

Think I'm going to pull the trigger on this in the morning. There better be a steadily growing EU GAF playerbase

Does anyone know if i can play the training and bots without internet?

Yeah, if you just go into Create Game you can play with bots. Not sure of the offline thing though. The bots don't like some maps it would seem.

This game is pretty great. The latest patch has significantly reworked most of the weapons, so the last week or so has required some adjusting. Chivalry reminds me a lot of Counter-Strike in the particular way experience improves a player. A few things I've learned:
Getting three enemies lined up for one swoop of a vanguard swing just feels great, but I think playing for kills is foolish. I routinely perch on top of the scoreboard with tons of damage and assists and few kills. I like to position myself beside a friendly knight and use my spear to harass anyone nearby - they can't through the knight to affect me and I can stab with impunity.
Footwork is the most important skill in Chivalry. Without attacking, I can maneuver an enemy into a disadvantage against my teammates, his teammates, or himself. I can kite him into friendly reinforcements for certain death, I can position him between myself and enemy archers and troops, I can lure him away from an objective or place his back against a cliff. Used incorrectly, footwork walks you into unfair fights, burning ground, traps, and wild goose chases that don't help you or your team.
Archers get a backstab bonus - don't forget to use this! They are also the fastest sprinters but it takes a couple seconds to get up to speed. There is no shame in turning around and outrunning a pursing knight. Run them back into the fight or away on a merry chase.
Hope that helps, here's some about me.
Favorite primary weapon? The billhook.
Favorite secondary weapon? The Norse sword or the Holy Water.
Favorite troll weapon? Heavy Flail - aw yiss, I think I will shield bash and shield punch mercilessly until death.

Anyone else pick this up on steam summer sale?
Played yesterday, the game is silly but lots of fun. How do I got about not be completely terrible though? I haven't quite figured that out yet...
EDIT: just requested an invite to the gaf group on steam. Steamid is Looten Plunder

Buying this game is the best thing that has happened to me this weekend.
The C button fills me with happiness. If this game was just running around with a sword and pressing C over and over again in a crowd of maniacs also carrying weapons and pressing C, that would be enough for me for eternity.

Hehe, you are amongst kin, Jinaar. The first time I played Chiv, I had no idea there was such a thing. I started in some map (I think it was the wall map) and tried to keep up with my teammates. Suddenly, there was a great noise as everyone around me began to yell and scream and carry on. I smiled so big and mashed the keys on my keyboard until I too began to yell like a wildman. Sogood.
Chiv also has a great suite of voice commands - you can effectively communicate within a squad using only the provided voice commands. It's great. Even the idea of being able to flip the voice command list by tapping the same button (X, or Z) is ingenious. I heart this game.
Is there a mod for that voice over?
I was playing on a Team DM map last night, dead already and in Free CAM Mode. I watched a knight with a broadsword cut the left arm off a guy with the one swing and then duck and cut the left leg right off the same dude! Blood gushing out of both areas. The poor archer falls to one knee and gurgles.
During that same map 3 of my team killed one opponent and one of my team mates proceeded to just hack at the body. I'm looking at this in Free CAM Mode wondering what is this guys problem, he's accomplishing nothing. And then he severs the head clean off the corpse. OMG! He stood around the headless corpse a while there after, probably thinking to himself that he did some good work today. Yes, son, I did great work today.
I have been using the X button to shout commands all the time. This game... this game
Glad both of you are having a blast with it too, Shaundakahl and Isual!

I haven't played in so long. A Gaf server does sound cool though. I'll have to jump in there some night.

I'll be on tomorrow, after work. Thanks for the server! What modes will it run?
Maplist is below:

I can add others too if you want. A friend recommended those ones and I used his recommendation since I have no idea what any of the maps are named except Arena and Throne

This is awesome. Will add to the OP. Do you mind if I post it to the Steam GAF group too?

I was always particularly fond of Last Team Standing. Good to see it represented in the list.

Went in there and farted around a bit and experimented. The server name is "Not NeoGaf Server" or something. Hopefully more will join!

Added server information to the group, modded vertopci, and posted 2 events. I scheduled both dates, Friday and Saturday, 11:00 PM EDT for those people that might not be available on Friday or Saturday.

Ouch. Between 40-80ms for me.

Having a lot of fun playing this, so far I've found halberd on vanguards, war axe on man at arms, and poleaxe/sword of war to be the best weapons for me. Haven't really played archer too much, they're super annoying to deal with though .
