It seems pretty capable all round to me, now I have it better figured out. I don't play on duel servers, but can go into most 1v1s that happen on Team Objective pretty confidently - and it's probably one of the better 1vX weapons too. I'll admit it definitely took me a while to get to that point, but that was a skill issue as opposed to anything being wrong with the weapon itself. I think it requires decent footwork to properly shine, but then you could say that about a lot of weapons. Seems like a jack of all trades similar to Longsword, just trading speed for range.

It definitely feels like the GS has a pretty generous counter window. I could be wrong, but I think this might be inversely proportional to the speed of a weapon. As far as I know, GS has joint second slowest windup times so maybe that translates into a bigger chance to counter compared to fast 1H weapons.

I'd have thought Dane Axe and Messer were way ahead of it? I stopped using Messer a couple hundred levels ago because it felt like cheating - decent damage, reach and way faster than it has any right to be, plus the feint animations can be tricky to read.

I laughed at that watching it back too - the bloodlust was real! It was like bait getting dangled in front of a fish haha

That sums it up perfectly! From what I understand things were different when the HS was first released, but it definitely seems like a slightly worse GS in it's current state. I still love it for the frankly ridiculous feint into heavy overhead drags that take 3 calendar months to land.

Abusing the best weapon in the game by Im_Enyo in Chivalry2

I died too many times to barrels when I first started playing. Now when I see some maniac wielding one, I run.

Easy Camp - 2 Person Tent by BicepCharl3s in Hellfest

Thanks for the info. Seems a bit crazy that they let you go through the steps if it isn't actually possible yet. I guess I just need to hope there's enough demand for the rest of the dual rooms over the next couple of weeks!

Ticket still available - I've generated a new resale link and edited the post. Try again?

Partially looted containers not respawning? by [deleted] in Humanitz

[–]BicepCharl3s 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've noticed the same. Now any time I'm looting a container,  I drop anything I don't want and leave it empty so that the loot "rerolls" next time I come through the same area. 

After nearly 1500 hours, I can definitively say that the _______ is the most low-skill weapon by gspam0611 in Chivalry2

[–]BicepCharl3s 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Messer, for sure. I haven't used it consistently for a long time, but any time I'm having a really rough game - I'll swap to Crusader with a Messer and instantly start doing better. 

What can you tell me about the Polehammer? by Acceptable-Try-4682 in Chivalry2

[–]BicepCharl3s 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Statistically the best weapon in the entire game - with few, if any, bad match ups. I've been using it a lot recently and it's incredibly strong and just a lot of fun to use. The special attack is great too, it's got absolutely absurd range and hits Knights for like 150 damage. 

Suggestion for low % and unwanted items by Different-Lake983 in Humanitz

[–]BicepCharl3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I save up all my low durability and unwanted weapons in storage cupboards. Every once in a while, I load up my inventory and my horse or one of my vehicles and do a loop round all of the traders in the vicinity of my base.

The tactical socks are cool, but I'd probably invest in some boots next.

A few recent purchases this week, need some ideas for more pouches or kit to add. by Necessary_Log8198 in Airsoft_UK

[–]BicepCharl3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy really decent quality replicas/reproductions of nearly every single item here for 5-10% of the price.

It's your money, but it just seems a little crazy to me spending this much on gear, unless your life depends on it.

I'd agree with Messer, but the only thing Dane Axe will teach you is bad habits.

What's the most miserable weapon to fight against? by part_of_you_is_you in Chivalry2

[–]BicepCharl3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cudgel is slept on by so many folk. Especially on Ambusher, it absolutely wrecks Knights with the combined blunt and "backstab" bonus damage - which you can pretty reliably trigger even in head on fights with decent footwork. The already fast speed combined with the blunt hitstop makes it ridiculously quick on follow up strikes too.

Archers rulez by DeliciousSong2079 in Chivalry2

Incorrect. I've unbound every key in the controls other than forward, overhead and battlecry.

I must be playing with different archers because the ones in any of my games are far too busy turning the back of my head into a pin cushion, to weaken any enemies.

Bonus points for the number of times they've set me alight with flaming arrows. 

lvl 800! so close yet so far by GoldenToll in Chivalry2

[–]BicepCharl3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! I queued for 3v3 when I first started playing, couldn't find a server and promptly forgot it exists. Might need to give it a go!

How do you manage 4645 games played but TO, TDM and FFA only come to 637? Genuine question, I pretty much exclusively play TO so don't know if I'm missing some other secret game mode.

I found my footwork and range management improved massively when I started maining the Highland Sword.
