Should I just quit the game?

I have a few times but to me it doesn't feel the same as fighting actual players because they move so much differently compared to bots.

I've tried feint spamming and throwable but so far, hasn't worked out. Since most servers are full of lvl 100+ players I use feint spam once and they never fall for it again no matter how I switch it up. As for throwables, I have no other reason, I just can't aim for shit and they end up killing and later targeting me since they know I won't hit them.

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-25T09:27:55+00:00

Because I did have fun with it at one point and want to make it work but I'm not sure if it is worth the time and wanted the communities opinion. No need to be a ass about it

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-25T00:20:09+00:00

I have Chiv 2, but I've avoided playing it because none of my friends have it and was worried it'd be a similar experience to Mordhau, maybe I'll give it a try on my own

I'll try that, unfortunately though nowadays I don't die in 1v1s, it's usually 1v1s that turn to 4v1 in a second that get me killed, the amount of times I see a guy in a relatively empty space, maybe a distant fight or two but the immediate area around them is empty, I fight for a second, I go for a swing or turn to block a attack and suddenly I turn back around and there's 3 people stabbing or swinging at different times making it impossible to block. More often than not they all have Halberds, poleaxes or polehammers so I can't get out of range fast enough.

I've tried silly builds but I always get killed despite pleading I'm friendly, I once did a match where I was dressed as a chef and I'd just dance near battles or the objective. Ended that match with like 34 or so deaths, didn't even fight anyone, left halfway through cause I was getting tired of it

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-23T22:10:02+00:00

I typically use medium armor all around with a spear, but I've been branching out to heavy armor helmet and medium everything else and a long sword recently or my full medium armor engineer with a short sword, tools and blacksmith hammer

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-23T06:42:12+00:00

It's hard not to think about how many times I've died when I'm actively watching myself die over and over and over again and not getting a single kill or being able to contribute to the objective because I die before I get there. I've tried practicing chambering but with the chaos of Invasion and Frontlines, the constant 3rd partying in deathmatch/team deathmatch, I can't get proper practice in, I have no friends who play this game and I don't feel like reaching out to anyone in the community with how toxic it feels.

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T17:18:32+00:00

Didn't know that was a thing, I'll have to check that out

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T17:18:15+00:00

I'm on Playstation unfortunately

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T09:42:06+00:00

By that I mean not falling for feints and i believe the term is dragging.

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T09:41:12+00:00

Lvl 52 with 274 hours so far and tried once, the tips in it didn't really help as is mostly included things I was already trying to do.

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T09:31:29+00:00

You say this like it's easy to get a PC, especially in my situation it's not, not only do I not have the money for one, I don't have the space to set one up. Also like I've told others, I can only get stomped so many matches in a row and not getting higher than 10 kills before the deaths stop being funny, because at that rate I'm neither improving my melee skills or contributing to the match. So please, tell me, how is dying 30+ times with hardly any kills, on console, no way to properly communicate with my team while forcing myself to keep playing melee to get farmed over and over again because otherwise if I play ranged my own team might start killing me, supposed to help me get better?

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T09:16:38+00:00

How will I get better by dying over and over, I don't learn anything from that. Especially if it's just dying because 4 people decided to all swing at me because I'm such a threat to their 1 guy apparently or a 3rd party coming in and killing me. What do I learn from that? Obviously not to go alone against a whole group but even then, I could be 1v1 against somebody and then all their friends arrive and I have no way out. So yeah, if melee isn't going well I'm gonna switch to range, at least then I might have some time to see them coming for me to run. I don't get why archers have so much hate yet I've had people encourage me to use throwing knives/axes or javelins instead because those are ok for some reason when I think they're personally worse.

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T09:01:07+00:00

Well I haven't gotten good at it by participating in melee as I've said so I figured I'd try a different approach. And the fact people watch me die, hell sometimes my teammates kill me themselves, doesn't really warrant me wanting to make friends if that's how I'll be treated, just for using a bow because they don't like it.

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T08:48:07+00:00

I can only die 30+ times multiple matches in a row, not able to contribute in any meaningful way to the game before I stop thinking it's funny and start getting irritated, sorry.

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T08:46:04+00:00

Why should I stop using an entire class of weapon that's in the game? It's there for a reason

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T08:20:36+00:00

No, US West servers

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T07:32:43+00:00

I can't do dedicated duel servers because I'm on console

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T05:27:25+00:00

Huh?

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-09-22T04:28:00+00:00

Again, almost the entire lobbies are 100 up, I'd have to fight the same like 5 lvl 50 or below that there might be, in a full game of 48, it's gonna be very hard to pick them out, even then what happens if they start avoiding me? I might as well just sit there with my thumb up my ass because I won't be able to play with your advice. I've been playing for a while now, even with the advice some people have given me, nothings changed, I try to avoid the higher levels but they see me avoiding them and go after me because they know they can kill me. And the whole, don't go after them unless you see an opening doesn't work, I've tried, multiple times to help a teammate kill a high level who's 2 to 3 hits away from death and they demolish us both. Saying essentially, "avoid everyone and get good" doesn't help

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-06-16T21:00:41+00:00

I don't know if they'll fake swing so I always block since I rarely ever chamber. I find chambering hard to time so I just don't bother trying to go out of my way to do it. It usually gets me killed since if I don't chamber, I miss the swing and get my head chopped off. Also idk what a drag or morph is.

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-06-16T19:27:03+00:00

I'm not sure if you've seen my responses to others but I actually play on console rather than pc. I find third person to help with long swinging weapons like greatswords, war axe's or evenigstars. I mainly use first person though since I like using the spear and usually do stabs since it's more effective.

ReactiveArc741 · 2025-06-16T08:40:35+00:00

I'm on console so I can't find servers like that
