I really dig the shovel in Chivalry 2 

"The Longsword is fast" - says the man while playing with the shovel XD Good games! I can't wait for the patch to finally arrive tho, as far the random stutters/hitches I definitely think that it's the game causing these issues. I believe that I read on the Chivalry 2 Discord Server that Tornbanner is working on improving the server stability in general.

I've had the same hitch issues. It seems totally random

More than I care to admit

Yes I have the same issue and have yet to find a resolution. I hope it will be fixed in the next patch.

When it happens to me I get a poor connection message

And then proceed to move away to avoid the consequence.. xD

maps in that game were way way better and they're already made, I can't believe they didn't remake a single one fuckers

Wow, how in depth for something so trivial like “shovel talk”

@@kiritimatiswan1986 It was just a fleeting thought, redundant brainstorming in case of some highly unlikely post-apocalyptic event like a “zombie virus” or something equally far-fetched. Though, there’s likely far more reliable options within one’s tool shed than a shovel… axe, machete, sledgehammer, even a crowbar would be better since it’s just one solid chunk of metal (no moving parts to worry about breaking or falling off) - chainsaw is far too impractical (because the whole needing to fuel it thing or cleaning and oiling the teeth/chain and keeping up with the parts), not to mention how loud it is. Anything that would require you to get too close is also a bad option, like a screwdriver or a wrench (unless it’s one of those big ass ones), one mishap and they can grapple and munch on you, so, you want to maintain a fair bit of distance. You also want to kite them into the open, preferably on a flat surface to prevent footing hazards and use the flat ground for additional maneuverability. I have no idea why I’m even entertaining this, I guess it’s kind of fun to think it all out.

@@Abracastabya you need a hobby, or a job that engages that mind more than it is. I feel as if your lexicon/ angelic sentence structure is being squandered by this trivial talk of laboring tools->weaponry

@@kiritimatiswan1986 I have many pastimes, art, writing short stories, going on long walks, programming, etc. Facets that allow me to use my creative thinking to create, I find tasks that limit my capacity to utilize my imagination to be… mundane… and not worth the time and effort. I could use a lot stronger descriptive language there to describe such a restrictive feeling, but I’ll keep it PG. I have somewhat of a disdain toward rules and regulations in reference to creative freedom, I feel as if such impositions are what thwart society as a whole and allow for stagnation to occur. Here’s an analogy for you: If we’re like blood within a vessel then restricting the human mind is equivalent to applying a powerful coagulant. There’s so much the human mind can accomplish, yet we’re limited to certain niches thanks to capitalism, try and leave said niches and you’re practically silenced by big corporations that would go out of business if your product was commercialized just take a look into Stanley Myer’s Water Fuel Cell and his suspicious demise. Thanks to corporate megalomaniacs the lone, introverted intellectuals who could make the world a better place are suppressed out of fear of being “silenced,” or simply do not posses the capacity to express themselves. Have you ever wondered, “surely there’s more geniuses out there that could come out and make the world a better place?” That’s because there is, statistically speaking, between 19.3M - 130M geniuses with an IQ of 140+ exist in the world. Furthermore, the majority of them would be in Europe, Asia, and Africa (because that’s where most of the population is of course). In North and South America there should be roughly 2.5M give or take. Why have I went into this borderline diatribe? I’ve no idea. Just something to ponder.

An iron shovel would work great

Thats the one and only downside to this game the fun is cut short due to not having things like private matches and other game modes

Use shuffle mode. It changes your class and weapons by random after every death.

Successful block means you didn't do a riposte or a counter or get hit. The yellow riposte basically means u hold block and use any attack after to perform a riposte. This attack uses stamina, which is why generally a lot of players try to counter a bit more than riposting as countering doesn't use stamina. Countering is the blue one where you are holding block and perform the same attack as them right when they hit ur block. Countering doesn't use stamina. To prevent people from being in a counter-off, feinting can be used after a counter which is generally very effective. Timing/mixups/stamina management is the key to winning

No plans to at the moment. Been busy playing Vermintide, and will most likely be playing a bit of Darktide starting next week.

That’s not a good answer

Very briefly: 1080ti, i7-7700k ,and 16gb ram.

@@TrixMelee cool thx, didnt realize it was available on consoles as well thats why i asked

Makes sense, it was so strong back when the game released. I was fighting someone in duels the other day using one and it still seems quite good despite that however.

Its the last weapon of the last subclass of the footman. So just level the footman.

Get footman level 8

My mate is kiwi, I'm an Aussie though.

@@TrixMelee what’s your mates channel

He doesn't have one.

4:55 thank god you didn’t have chat on lol

Isn’t fortnite bud

The weapon balance is quite okay in this game, not horrible. I think they made the shovel good because the engineer class would be absolutely underwhelming without even good weapons. The engineer would have absolutely nothing going for him without the good weapons. I think thats fair. This is why you dont see the shovel that often, even if its super strong, the class as a whole is not and quite vulnerable. One handed spears are far more annoying and frequently.

@@lukaslanger8077 you are the first one i hear saying weapon balancy is in a good spot. But hey, to each their own.

@@aberger6666 srsly, The Vanguard with double danish axe or the messer are much more meta than the shovel, which i see very rarely.

@@lukaslanger8077 more meta yes, but not necessarily better

@@aberger6666 Because people love to complain. But I 2nd what Lukas has said. The weapon balance is ok. Some weapons are particularly good against specific targets, which is why they may seem op if you play the same class / weapon all the time. But whatever strengths they have are balanced by a weakness. With the shovel, it has extremely short range. Yes, it is difficult to fight against if you are a slow knight with a slow weapon - but you can switch to your sidearm to increase your strike speed. As Lukas says, the spears seem to be more of a problem. I just walk away from guys with spears. With speed and long range combined, the spearman just spams the stabs and there doesn't seem to be much you can do if your class is not fast enough to close the distance.
