Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord 'Clunky' combat SOLVED

[@SuperCompany007]

If I could choose instant world peace or Bannerlord release date I would choose Bannerlord

[@lnxdzenis622]

Company007 no shame in that i think

[@blackearth7085]

Company007 me too...

[@davevd9944]

Aurourus how edgy of you *slow clap*

[@latter-daysaintbatman2679]

I would choose both because without world peace, there will be bad ppl out there to prevent us from playing bannerlord. So its not mutually exclusive which means we can't have one without the other. We cant have bannerlord without world peace & we cant have world peace without bannerlord.

[@cykamaster2520]

You would be alright being a cattle able to play bannerlord ? Suit yourself.

[@scullyy]

One final thing that can confuse players is chamber blocking. By timing it correctly you can block an attack with your own attack in the same direction. So for example an overhead attack timed correctly will block an overhead attack, left-to-right swing blocks right-to-left etc

[@scullyy]

It requires a lot of practice and can be difficult on servers with high ping. A lot of intentional chamber blocks may come off as accidental in the eyes of inexperienced players, but you're right that accidental ones do happen from time to time. If you want to learn how to do them reliably you may want to try against practice bots in the training scenario. Or you could try chambering cavalry lance stabs, they are very predictable. I haven't played in a couple of years, but I'll make a quick video showing off some chambers. brb

[@Rogue_Tiger]

no one sets out to do that, it happens by mistake

[@scullyy]

Sure they can happen randomly, they're just regular attacks timed right.

[@Samoelis92]

m&b warband is one of the best games i played, cant w8 for bannerlord. Great vids btw.

[@cd8788]

If bannerlord combat would feel like mordhau combat id fall in love.

[@DogsaladSalad]

bannerlord is gonna be amaaazing

[@SwearDie96]

Not sure if Archer reference.

[@shadejodoin6683]

Chivalry medieval warfare had a system very similar to this, and they managed to make everything smooth and have feints look good. Nice looking combat with this system is possible.

[@lmanoobly99]

too bad people exploit the physics system and do crazy ballerina spins with the overhead swing.

[@Kuiriel]

This is exactly what I was about to post a negative review about, but I figured I had to go and actually google the terms I was going to write about before doing so. Glad I waited. Thank you for this very clear explanation of feints. I'll go back and turn off auto-blocking and enemy-relative attacks and start over in the arena.

[@user-rm3qj9mb2b]

Did they finally fix NPCs hitting through each other?

[@teph1256]

chivalry has a better combat system. you can't just spam it either. You can't just be like "it's not clunky you need to get good" being in any single player siege ever prove the opposite with 20 AI failing to hit each other and the player unable to do anything because they can't access the fight

[@QuentinofVirginia]

You mean the game where everyone does 360 super fast helicopter swings with the Zweihander or do instahit overheads?

[@dr.phoqueson1860]

Chivalry fight is just gang bang and you don't have block direction so It's shit compared to MB,It's not for duel chivalry because you just to do right click at the good time and don't need to move your mouse so It's shit because you re block for feint and chamber.

[@dr.phoqueson1860]

***** the time when the block is active is long and you cant fint your ennemy like I gonna block right so ennemy gonna charge high but at the last you do a high like him and you chamber it

[@headhunter1945]

Chivalry better lol, GTFO

[@mskittyiana1350]

You can't compare them, M&B has a directional combat system, something what many games actually have. Chivalry has a real time system which was the first of it's kind, this does come with some side effects because of the engine they used. If you would compare the combat systems pure on skill ceiling and debt then chivalry wins it very easy, because you aren't stuck on just 4 directions and 2 spam buttons.

[@bonebard6178]

I wouldn't mind the combat system if the character attacked the direction I looked, it never holds the direction I'm trying to hit even when I actively am moving the mouse that direction

[@davidburfischer6915]

You need to move then click while moving, you're probably clicking and then moving. Also check your settings, there is a setting that makes the attacking Automatic rather than attack direction which will just screw you up.

[@bonebard6178]

Klasse Kartoffel maybe i wasnt doing it right, thought i was though, ill check at some point but i dont like doing automatic attack direction, makes it feel like cheating

[@lnxdzenis622]

Owl Eyes he just told you not to use auto direction

[@MrJohnn100]

+Lnx Dzenis read again dude no he didn't...

[@davidburfischer6915]

MrJohnn100 " there is a setting that makes the attacking Automatic rather than attack direction which will just screw you up." yeah, I did say to not use it.

[@TheFilthyGoTDirt]

As I was impressed by the editor vids I was looking forward to this game immensely, however after seeing Mount & Blade land on consoles, will the gamepads be supported natively on PC (I'm hoping)?

[@Whatever4690]

If only mmorpgs were up to this quality. Yeah m&b and crpg are my favorite "shooter" game hands down, i would spend ages just dueling to improve my skill.

[@jeorhan1262]

Lol at any noob who would complain that a game has more depth than spam a button whilst looking in the general direction of an enemy. Too many hand holding games coming out these days that cater to the lowest common denominator. The best games are specialized systems for small target audiences, with great depth and insane skill ceilings. The worst games are simplified systems for the masses, with no depth and lots of repetitive content.

[@TybaltS]

In what ways, exactly does this game apply to what you say? (Casually wondering, I agree with you actually, I just don't see how that's relevant here)

[@jeorhan1262]

This video is about how noobs think the game is "clunky" due to having timed attacks and the ability to cancel/feint those attacks. And as such they claim its a bad game and quit. That is not clunk. That is depth and skill.

[@TybaltS]

jordanstead agreed

[@jeorhan1262]

:)

[@bruhb7611]

Fallout 4 called, they got triggered.

[@GhastlyWarcon]

Imho the combat is fine, the only problems *imo* is that it does not look very pretty but thats a very superficial complaint.

[@Rogue_Tiger]

video summed up, learn how to play

[@anessenator]

I think that they could do with some better tutorials for this stuff in the game itself, because it certainly put me off. Another improvement would be some optional UI hints as to what is going on, especially if you're hitting something like a wall by accident, as this can be really not obvious if you're not used to this system. Basically, the system itself isn't bad, but it could do better to train people to use it.

[@nworanzubechukwu8238]

Let them add shield wall formation

[@nadivvv]

1:03 where is this place?

[@RemusKingOfRome]

love this game

[@madijeis4320]

In short: *_THE COMBAT IS NOT CLUNKY YOU SUBHUMAN NOOB YOU JUST NEED TO GIT GUD_*

[@DorkAndFriends]

Feinting will be removed from Bannerlord thank christ. Nothing more dishonorable than being gutted by a naked knight brandishing a greatsword and spinning around like a proverbial top.

[@davidburfischer6915]

Feints gave high level duels depth, though.

[@DorkAndFriends]

And it also drove away thousands of players from the multiplayer scene, as well.

[@davidburfischer6915]

***** it also is the only reason thousands continued playing, because it gave the combat a higher skill cap, made it more satisfying, and more difficult to master

[@DorkAndFriends]

like it or not, with the new animation changes you won't be able to feint.

[@J0sh-]

Bannerlord without feints will be shit, rather it be a smaller skilled community than a plain boring combat system with many players.

[@PerfectJayDread]

Great video!! Also, I have that mouse! ^.^ lol

[@CIHicIKeINTM]

what a unique mouse :^)
