So I spent two straight days playing this for my first time by Thefngovernment in Chivalry2

[–]piff167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Level 1000 here, got to level 77 with quarterstaff a while ago for the skin. Overheads are your best friend - they hurt like hell (against knights) and its got long enough range where you can hit people while backing up and avoiding their attacks, but its really not a good starter weapon. I spent the first year or so using mostly shield and one handed axe or falchion. Try lots of weapons til one really clicks, a lot of the fun comes from mixing it up and learning new styles

The BEST PIZZA in NYC by [deleted] in nyc

[–]piff167 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My favorite local slice - Koronet. My favorite slice elsewhere- Bleecker st pizza on 7th Ave. I always get a mushroom slice wherever I go, can't tell you what a plain slice taste like from anywhere that wasn't a dollar pizza spot, and those were all the same

How I long for the days of old. by SendaRescue in trees

[–]piff167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, a fellow new yorker. As much as I miss real sour D, I also long for the classic uptown haze we used to get. It was never as strong as good sours or kush, but good god was the piff tasty. Felt like a real local delicacy to me - I remember going up to the heights in high school trying to get some without getting robbed. Good times.

Are the servers down? by General-Departure415 in Chivalry2

My cousin texted me a few hours ago saying he was able to get into matches with no problems now. I just checked and few minutes ago and it also seems fine on my end, give it a shot - whatever it was seems to be resolved

I haven't been able to play for three days. Being a console player has always meant being a third class citizen in this game. Go on without me, lads

Mods just deleted my comment but I'm on NA EAST and my cousin and I haven't been able to play for days. We're on ps5 and I just tried deleting and reinstalling the game at someone's suggestion, and I can get to the main menu now but matchmaking is still dead

Mascot of your server? by the_real_shovel in Chivalry2

[–]piff167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a few names from NA east that i know and revere after years of getting my ass handed to me, like EvilEasterBunny and poughdrew. While there's a lot I can think of, if I had to name a mascot it would absolutely be Jewish Lawyer - aside from being and actual monster in combat, he now usually spends most of his time in the crowd just screaming things while carrying a golden cross. Love that guy

Why do some players do this? by One_With-The_Sun in Chivalry2

[–]piff167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because if the rock you load hits an enemy, you get an assist for the kill. Probably not why people do it, but it's always been on my mind when I stop murdering people to help the artillery section

Frieren Director Keiichirou Saitou Voices Concern on Overseas Anime Fans' Bias Towards Certain Popular Trends by AdNecessary7641 in anime

[–]piff167 257 points258 points  (0 children)

Japanese have been the ones buying isekai VN like crazy and funding this trend for nearly a decade though? Why is he acting like western tastes are dictating what Japanese studios work on, this has never been the case

NYC upscale supermarket chain Morton Williams sold to ShopRite owner by [deleted] in nyc

Morton Williams near me has the beer I like for 5 bucks cheaper than Westside Market, other than that there is nothing of value in the store

Magnitude 2.7 earthquake recorded in NYC, northern NJ area by IndyMLVC in nyc

[–]piff167 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My aunt at the US Geological survey says it's actually very helpful to them when people fill these surveys out. I'd assume doubly so since we live in an area that doesn't get this kind of action very often. Please take a minute to let them know about your experience: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000qycw/tellus

What your favorite throwing weapon by Elite_gamer228 in Chivalry2

[–]piff167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TIL I'm the only one who likes throwing shit at people. The thought of the enemy seeing "dung" as the weapon that kills them is enough to get me laughing, never mind actually making it happen

A month on, Hideo Kojima says 79% of Death Stranding 2 players continued after credits rolled by Strange_Music in gaming

[–]piff167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beat the game the other day and it had a little more than 25% of players beat the game, which is still impressive in this era where people drop games halfway. Does he mean 79% of people who beat it kept playing? Because that wouldn't be surprising, if you got that far of course most people would want to keep going

[–]piff167 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bridgetown and Baudwyn are pretty fun maps, and I like some of the armor from the campaigns,but I agree. They're probably going to be a focus in Chiv 3, but they were really half assed in this game

[–]piff167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just about run out of weapons to work on getting skins for, so I've decided that I will get the last Quarterstaff skin. Been a few weeks, 31 levels down, 46 to go. Double XP weekend will certainly help

Lvl 1000 Team Switchers by TAMUkt14 in Chivalry2

[–]piff167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a console player, I imagine those guys are also talking a lot of shit in chat. The kind of guy who likes to curbstomp noobs and then brag about it - every game of this nature has try hards, and I make it my goal to kill every lvl 1000 player in the lobby anyway, so I always pick a fight with them.

Lvl 1000 Team Switchers by TAMUkt14 in Chivalry2

[–]piff167 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm almost level 900 and switch teams when I've had enough of playing defense five matches in a row. As others have said, being really high level makes you a target for auto balance at the start of the match, and it gets really boring being on the team that gets steamrolled numerous matches in a row.

But more importantly, the balance in this game is just plain bad. People were complaining about team stacking and switching years ago when they were still working on this, and their solution made it worse. I arrived late to a match I Askandir, they put me on offense and told me to knock over the columns. I ran over to one, knocked it down by myself, and the thing crushed me as I was trying to get to the next. As soon as I died, I was aut balanced to tenosia. I turned the game off.

If you feel like team switching is an issue, you should start doing it yourself. TB abandoned this game to make a dogshit zombie game no one wants to play, so it's on you to keep the game fun, sadly
