Mordhau Subreddit

I'm glad I already quited the game, because these changes are pathetic. They BUFF what already is ridiculously buffed: shields and horses, with now horse taking less fire damage. Doesn't fix any of the horse op mechanics and doesn't change anything about rapiers. Also, nothing on server stability.

Terrible patch, just terrible.

### Skillceiling

*Unknown*

The game has an extremely simplistic combat system. There is literally 0 skill involved with developing parkinson and having 3 strokes and 6 seizures while fighting. You think throwing your mouse around while fighting on with high mouse sensitivity makes you good?? The skill ceiling is extremely low in this game, all you need to do is equip a fast or high dmg weapon and spam the shit out of stabs or swing all over the place and you will genuinely get Top 3 in every single match. "take away that and all you have is a skill less hack and slash where anyone who knows how to press RMB is basically a god unless they're 1vX." You legit just described exactly how Mordhau is. I guess you are going to love the game 1-3 months from now where you and the 8,000 other players are gonna have so much fun showing off your 1000+ hours of "skill"

### Question about feigning

*/u/HansZwiefelhofer*

So from what I understand through testing and reading it cost 10 stamina each time you feign. The problem is that in duels I have seen multiple people who are able to feign around 3-6 times an attack multiple times and never lose stamina. Earlier i had a guy feign around 4 times each attack on 3 attacks and when he killed me he was at 94 stamina, he also had no perks that support stamina. Ive only seen this with two handed weapons specifically the maul, zweihander and exec sword. Is this something im missing or is it some form of exploit?

### Girus 93 killstreak video

*/u/yoshi570*

Few things that popped out when watching this:

This isn't an actual build he's playing. He builds with basically no weapon then grabs a weapon off the ground. Let's see if he can do that with his actual build (spoiler: he can't, he would have died far sooner)
Holy fuck those are some of the worst players I have ever seen. He said it himself: "why don't you parry man?"
Honestly I couldn't believe how bad the players were in this clip. I'm not surprised that he could rack up tons of kills against bad players, even I can do that. I'm surprised that there's not a single decent player in the lot that ruins his combo.

Any 1vX relies on the X not parrying. Any experienced player in the X knows this and will actively try to ruin your combos. Like, he's obviously better than me, I can tell just by watching him play, but he's not good enough to prevent me from killing him if I get some help. He keeps turning his back all the time and barely ever gets stabbed. This was a clownfest of epic proportions with someone having a loadout totalling for something like what, 25 points?

But yeah, I think we mostly agree: this kind of streak if mostly an outlier more than the rule.

### The term gambling

*Unknown*

The term "gambling" was invented in chiv when baddies who lost didn't have a way to complain about aggressive play. If you don't understand the issue, then you need more practice, and you probably never chamber.

I feel like 80% of the people who complain about "gambling" understand neither feint to parry nor chambering.

### Retarded unfair mechanic

*Unknown*

The major problem of this game is dragging, it’s a retarded unfair mechanic for 2 reasons:

The animation model doesn’t always keep up with dragging making it look like the sword pretty much completely slows down in air while the opponents body is still in the same position, while on the opponents camera his body is quite much facing the opposite side, I’ve looked into this couple times and it is consistent.

I’ve found out and anyone can test that dragging and accells are related to mouse sensitivity, which simply means the higher your mouse sensitivity the better you can do these approaches which instantly makes it unbalanced and unfair, as different people have different plays with mouse sensitivity in games due to how our eyes work, there should be no reason why dragging should exist, the only thing that should is what is actually in the tutorial which teaches how fast or slow your attack is depending on your start position, DRAGGING IS NOT TAUGHT IN THE TUTORIAL

And before you display your silliness I know how to both attacks just perfect and do very much think it’s unfair.

### virtual cosmetics

*/u/Implyput*

Things like this remimind me of the fucked time we live in. What even is this post about??? Just how much virtual currency you earned while gaming virtually and purchased virtual cosmetics...BRUH....

BRUH

I've been gaming like an addict since I was 1w, I would never expect some type of gradification or reward for spending stupid amounts of time on a video game(especially when your time played is represented by currency earned and NOT EVEN SKILL WHICH IS STILL GAMING SKILLS WHICHIS A HOBBY NOT A FUCKING TALENTLOLOLOL

As a gamer for a decade I can say this post has almost no value. If you disagree ease, tell me how I'm wrong when I literally have enough currency to ake this same cahracter almost????

If you think having no life is impressive then I bet you pat yourself on the back all dayxdxdxdxdxd

### Sibling with serious mordhau addiction

*John*

I have a sibling that is almost 30 and all what he does is play Mordhau. From the moment he wakes up until he goes to sleep, he plays Mordhau, and he has been doing that for 10 years (chivalry before mordhau but they are the same).

He is unemployed. Never held a proper tourney. He has a degree from unaccredited fiverr trainers but no experience as he stopped ft10'ing two years ago.

He blames not being a competitive melee slasher because there are no tourneys out there. I asked him how many tourneys he applies for in a day and he said he stopped applying two years ago because it is useless.

I honestly do not care about him. He is an obnoxious person and I avoid him as much as possible. The problem relies with my mother. She keeps posting monkey and baboon related gifs incessantly, much to the enjoyment of my sibling. I just don't get why they keep posting monkey tenor gifs and howling like gibbons. I can't even sleep at night.

I've tried to connect with this community on my siblings favourite melee slasher discord, but they just keep pinging me and posting monkey gifs or racist comments incessantly.

Should I just move out and cut all ties with my family? I feel like I've exhausted all avenues to help him recover.

### mordhau changed my life

*/u/BurnmaNeeGrow*

i just want to keep this short and sweet because although it's very tempting for me to make this a dozen paragraphs long i won't be doing that for the sake of everyone's time.

mordhau changed my life. i've played mordhau more in the 1.5 years than any other game in my collection. maybe i enjoy mordhau too much, and i've never spent more than a week without playing it. every time i come back to play it some more, there's always some fucking hilarious shit going on that puts a massive smile on my face.

mordhau isn't just a great game competitively speaking, it's also a fantastic outlet for me to fuck around with friends or strangers online. my personal favourite thing to do on mordhau is trolling the character select screen on taiga. i would be lying if i didn't say that i've laughed to the point of having a face full of tears.

mordhau is by no exaggeration, potentially, the best video game i have ever played. maybe even better than skyrim or minecraft. and that's something.

thank you devs and community for making mordhau a great game.

### People on Mordhau are Weird

*/u/Krakino696*

Im kinda of curious about the Mordhau community and the types of people that play the game. In one instance there was a holocaust denier that was almost kicked but the admin implied the arguments of freedom of speech and ideas as argued by J.S. Mill in "On Liberty". That particular group seems to read books, after all it was in the LOTR server. Very well. In another instance the subject of pedophilia was brought up by people trolling. So I counter trolled with classic arguments about the nature of good and evil are human constructs, (see 4 noble truths of buddhism) which buddha argues that attachment to such concepts lead to suffering (also think master yoda talking to anakin about his night terrors) . I also used similar arguments to the practice of homosexuality being a natural occurring phenomena and a cultural norm in the past. For example in Catholic school we were always taught that Mary would have given birth to Jesus at about 15-16 years old and a typical women would have been married off at 13-14 years old. And I get permabanned. So the Mordhau community permits holocaust denial and implicit anti-Semitism, but counter trolling and discussing the nature of pedophilia is wrong? My only explanation is that particular group of admins were triggered by repressed feelings toward children. Interesting to note that one of the admins is named "Im Cumming" and has a furry with ejaculate on its face as a profile picture despite having perversion as a bannable offense.

### It is the playerbase that killed this game

*/u/balllllhfjdjdj*

I know you guys refuse to believe it but thats what it is. The game is brilliant, flawed certainly but deserves more players than it has. The veterans completely kill it, they clearly have very little going on irl to feel good about and need Mordhau to feel any sort of achievement which results in them not playing for fun and therefore shitstomping any noob that comes along. I thought it was the greatest game id ever played when i started a few months ago and played hundreds of hours in a few weeks until i was getting at least an even KD in duel servers. Then you start to see the cracks, the nolifers who sit on one server (or mod it) and just go through the muscle memory motions over and over like robots. The chances of a new player hanging around long enough to learn and stop getting stomped are next to none. I pushed through for months, dying thousands of times usually ending up 5/50 or some shit but I knew I had to keep fighting to learn. Then i looked at the players i was trying to become like and they look and sound SO miserable and robotic. They get pissed if you get a single lucky kill on them after dying 20 times, they hide their levels and steam accs and they judge you if you don’t use a meta weapon. Im sure this sub has seen a few of these posts, i never really came to this sub but its pretty clear that the ability for a new player to get into and stay in the game has killed it. Anyway, I uninstalled a few weeks ago and haven’t thought about it until today but I realised I didnt even want to be good after finally getting 1:1 KDs because who would want to be like these miserable, toxic guys that spend all day on duel servers getting triggered they died once? Sad days because i really thought the game was gonna be my main one for a while but not to be.

### You're just being a prick

*/u/LKS333*

Just showing how adding historical and applied skills to weapons relevant to this genre of game should be considered. Why u being a little bitch about change? Are you a pig? Think about it or stop pretending you know, you prick.

Read. Make corrections if you think there are and let ppl know. Its important. There is good info here. You're just being a prick, who's saying this post is not worth your time. Are you upset? Do you need a hug? How about actually investing your time into this post? What's your point and how does it relate to mine? Do you have any questions? Fuck off? Why aren't you fucking off? You are who you think I am. Lol.

Remember, this is my post and you still don't know shit. Consider creativity when gaming you mindless baby. Tsktsk.

### I learned how to wield a sword

*/u/LKS333*

I learned to walk on both feet grounded. I learned how to run, as well! Guess what I did next?! I LEARNED how to ride a freaking bike. If you learn how to ride a bike, you can do anything. So guess what I fudging did next? I learned how to wield a sword. I learned martial arts. I learned to run the fuck away when I'm outnumbered while playing airsoft with my friends. I learned fencing and kendo so I value swift but fast forward and back movements. Sure, due to gravity when you move forward then immediately back, the back movement will be slowed. But, when in a stance, shouldn't you move back as fast as you would when you lunge or attack forward. Or, atleast have similar speed? Oh, and I played games like this before! I think implementing faster and slower movement speed depending on where the weight distribution of the weapon is and how it was used (even if its alittle, why depends on person) would make this game even better, more of what it is and can be. They already set something in stone which I acknowledge is to be the truth and I will figure em out soon enough. But, an improvement is an improvement. This game is a great environment for that, in my opinion. That's why I'm having these kind of thoughts. And they are good ones, thank you very much.

### The meaningless life of a bard

*McMercy*

Imagine being a bard. Imagine coming home from work tired, exhausted, and with 4 hours before the cycle continues you decide to play your favorite game; Mordhau.
You probably found this game from watching a funny youtube video, and you were immediately enchanted by the game mechanics and the funny naked men.
You join a game of frontline and you get killed again, and again, and again. You are in love with the way your character moves and the freedom of your strikes, but you are unable to get a single kill.
You experiment with different loadouts but nothing helps. Not even the shield or tank perk can save you. There is only one thing left to do. You equip the funny guitar to your loadout. Everyone on reddit said that bards are untouchable, surely this is the way to proceed.
You start to produce the funniest sounds from your instruments, and with a big smile on your face you run straight for the objective. Not 10 seconds later you get decapitated and your smile turns to disgust and confusion.
"YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KILL BARDS!" you weep out behind your monitor. You have seen the funny youtube videos with all the music men and their orbiters, what went wrong?
Days and days go by and you still follow the same routine. After some hundred hours in the game you have realised that staying on the objective isn't the safest place to be. You have started to roam the map, away from any enemies that might kill you. Sometimes you spend the entire match alone, just pressing LMB in peace, producing the funniest of noises from your little instrument.
Once in a while you will get charged by the evilist of players, a black tinted knight that sees you for nothing more than a health potion. There is nothing you can do, and you know it. Changing to alt grip is useless. He will just use exploits such as feinting, dragging and riposting to feed upon your blood. You spend the rest of the match furiously typing in chat, calling him out for anti bard behaviour, desperatly trying to make his team votekick him.
Your routine has changed. You now only spend 2 hours playing your favorite game. You spend the rest of your evening justifying your behaviour on the official discord and reddit. You beg the devs to add bard perks that make you unkillable. You can't believe that no one listens. This playerbase is so toxic.
You have almost one thousand hours in this game now. Most of the time you don't even leave the spawn area. You force a smile while playing the worlds funniest instrument.
Suddenly you get a discord dm from one of the egirls you have been grooming:
"Wow, 1000h in mordhau? you must be pretty good! whats your mmr?"
Tears start forming in your eyes.
