Siege Crossbow + Montcrux + Balancing | Chivalry 2 Update Summary

[@suuujuuus]

I dont mind that the map is short, but that the obj are so unimaginative. 1st is the same as on the sand siege map. Open field, push carts. Second has kind of the same qualities. I like the explosion hole mechanic though. Third & fourth are both obj control, where you run through parts at the castle only to meet everyone at the hotspot, very 1-dimensional. Which is sad considering the beautifully crafted castle around them. I wish they used more of the environment they built in their objs, like collecting explosives throughout the castle and putting them at the designated area instead of them all being there already. Or they could add two ballista towers which actually can shoot at the gate controls, making it important to control or disable those before controlling the obj.

[@SoterDave]

Great ideas. That probably would have led to a much more enjoyable objective

[@thomas_walker]

i played through my first full montcrux game earlier; when it ended, i typed "lol that's it?" in the chat and most of the lobby felt the same way. it was surprisingly brief

[@joshuacurin1399]

Yea, the castle itself also felt empty since there were only like four stages, would have been cool to also have a tenosian king at the end

[@markrogomentich2622]

lol I was in that lobby

[@hazmatv7157]

​@@joshuacurin1399There is no tenosian king

[@SoterDave]

It's quite the small map, unfortunately.

[@joshuacurin1399]

@@hazmatv7157 tenosian chieftain or something? I know one of the voices for tenosia is a chieftain or something

[@nobleinexile4296]

This seems like a small update. However I think we should look forward to the next one. The team keeps saying it's the best they have ever done in terms of TO maps

[@cammellosecco8266]

At this point they have 0 credibility, but we'll see.

[@SoterDave]

2.10 will be much better, I can assure you

[@spacecowboy5486]

In 2 years (at best)

[@canyougetthat507]

Scam artists and liars that go back on their word, they re wrote their original post about the update taking away the release date. They made 50% of new players pay twice and every time you bring up the issues in the discord, within a minute your message is deleted and you get a warning for a potential ban

[@LegitBacKd00rNiNJa69]

How do you mean pay twice when was that

[@Nova-kn8mw]

Need more king of the hill style modes where it’s not just attack or defending teams

[@SoterDave]

All Team Objective maps will be Attack and Defense

[@Headlikeanorange84]

Thanks for the summary. Much appreciated!

[@SoterDave]

No problem 😁

Soter Dave “The game needs to get better not bigger”

[@SamscrewuGaming]

Why would they nerf controller aim assist? As someone who plays on console and is constantly bottom of the leaderboard, I appreciated having a little assistance. Especially when people on keyboard and mouse have a drastic advantage

[@SoterDave]

Controller allowed archers to hit their shots more consistently compared to even the best of keyboard and mouse users, so they nerfed it.

[@SamscrewuGaming]

@@SoterDave ah, I don't play archer so makes sense why I wouldn't know that.

I love tdm! In team objective it feels like theres no motivation to have a good k/d ratio. In tdm, you have to play like your life matters while staying engaged in the fight.

[@SoterDave]

I understand what you're saying, but I just love playing around an objective!

[@yanwain9454]

@@SoterDave i kind of made it sound like i hate team objective which is not the case. i feel like team objective offers better opportunities for good 1vx encounters, which i'm a big fan of. I just love tdm for it's purity and also because as someone who usually plays knight, i don't have to spend as much time running across the map after each spawn. I think they should just have a straight TDM matchmaking option and keep the game types separate. i think FFA and duel should be permanent main menu options as well.

[@BoonZer0]

DDBB thanks you for your helpful content.

[@SoterDave]

My pleasure!

[@Cryptic8909]

Idk if it’s just me but I struggle struggle hitting my shots with the new crossbow. It feels rlly inaccurate

[@SoterDave]

It's weird

[@Emerald_Wolf]

Great Video. Always appreciate your view.

[@SoterDave]

I appreciate that!

[@-Steeltoelion-]

I’m glad they are letting us have the exclusive content for free. Rip to the players who paid extra for all that though. Kind of a slap in the face to them. Don’t forget Jank. They added extra jank and the Bots are a little more threatening now.

[@SoterDave]

Interesting.

[@DingaLingu]

As a spear user i want my strike range, accuracy, and timing to be vindicated.

[@daviiidavo5100]

They don't have sling shots yet???? I kinda wish they had a Dark and Darker extraction mode with limitations obviously

[@SoterDave]

agreed. that'd be dope

[@rollergrill6719]

Settings and customizations will be reset if youre playing on Epic

Thankfully I don't

[@Schmoser-Chivalry]

wow this is the first video or talk about the patch where it isnt just hate I myself like it so far :)

[@SoterDave]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@WretchedRedoran]

Seeing the state of Chiv2 is just so, so sad. I love this game to bits, and it could be so much more than it is right now, but it just isn't. The worst part is that being a Canadian, I really wish I could rally behind Torn Banner as they're a Canadian studio, but as much as I want to I can't.

[@PopsiCOLE]

What are you talking about? This game is fricken incredible and the updates have been amazing.

[@magikarp9718]

[@SoterDave]

I feel you. I appreciate the genuine words

[@BlakeAter]

Well Ubisoft is kinda next door to them. I'd imagine as a "Canadian" studio, it's just the unfortunate ones who settled for them due to not getting into the bigger company. Anywho nationality doesn't really make much of a difference nowdays with remote work.

[@realmadmaddox]

Really mad about them giving the preorder skin away. Think I’m done with this game.

[@canyougetthat507]

All that work for months even up to a year, just for new players to walk around in what we where grinding for

[@SirAnthrax]

I’m glad they made it available but it being only 2,000 gold really surprised me

[@SoterDave]

Because they could not implement cross progression, they felt this was necessary

[@realmadmaddox]

@@SoterDave yeah I see where they were coming from honestly just wish they maybe would’ve made a new skin or smth and given it out to everyone

[@strick9red]

I'm still happy about this update 😅

[@aaronhiggins986]

The new map it’s the shortest one they ever released. Granted it’s incredibly hard to capture the 2nd and 3rd objective but it’s still underwhelming it’s like a smaller version than Lionspire

[@strick9red]

@@aaronhiggins986 well theres allways mordhau...lol

[@badwrongbadong]

Still not having horses for 64 player for pc players are beyond pathetic. Imagine spending so Much time on a wanted feature, to not being able to use it for the full gamemode due to restrictions from previous gen consoles…

[@SoterDave]

Unfortunately, the feature isn't really wanted that much. The overwhelming majority of players despise horse combat and they don't want it in the main mode.

[@vincenthawke8141]

Well at least the game has no stutter issue with this update

when they say the royal zwei is 2000 gold they mean crowns

[@marcosbecker8088]

The fact they changed the stab to not pierce through allies is the dumbest decision they made, now when you have a good player on a rampage in the middle of the noobs you simply cant get rid of the guy because your team will be blocking every single hit and giving the guy a meat shield, that change made the game for the noobs even more frustrating as they will be soloed every time and you simply cant help them

[@SoterDave]

I don't mind it either way. To be honest, I barely notice the change

[@ein23]

I just want horde mode.

Looks great but not as fun to play as Bridgetown. Way too short and the objectives lack creativity

@@SoterDave i got it working but i had to uninstall and reinstall and then it still failed to complete the install and then i tried again and it couldnt verify the files. I tried again and again and then i tried it with the install window open and that seemed to allow it to complete what it was trying to do. But now its refusing to allow me to use the epic knights lamellar helmet because it claims on the armoury menu that i dont have the necessary knight ranking, but when i start a match and look at the class select menu, it shows my correct knight ranking of 210.

[@devan3970]

This game is so much fun but on PS4 I can’t even play it, my application crashes every time I play sacking of Bridgetown and now with the new update I can’t even log in. I’ve been really disappointed in the game and to be honest wasn’t worth paying for. I’m sure on pc it’s a lot more fun, but I think this is one of those games that will die because of bugs.

[@SoterDave]

That's extremely unfortunate

[@marcoeire44]

Meh... I stopped playing a few weeks ago, another missile weapon and shitty map isn't worth coming back for... Have they banned "Hello" yet from duels??? That's the only thing I might come back for.
