- The execute mechanic breaks up the speed of combat and feels unnecessarily violent (4 stabs to the face in 1st person, really?). I don't see the point.

In the beginning, people had a hard time understanding that reviving allies gave better reward, is safer and quicker than execution. It was quite pathetic actually watching people desperatly trying to get as many executions as possible. For a long time now though, veterans almost never do executions as they play for fun and do not need the rewards and executions will potentially worsen your combat performance.

Right now there is a free weekend which I think means that trial players will get a chance to enjoy the full game, but I can not say this is how it is for sure.

The servers are full of beginners right now it seems as well so getting über pwned might occur less and I offer to personally aid anyone who wants me to.

WotR is also currently 75% off at Steam. Meaning that this is the best chance ever so far to try out the game and buy it before the sale ends if you like it.

Note that that last wednesday, a content patch was released with the theme "outside the law". It included the following...

New Map
Greenwood - Supports Team Deathmatch and Pitched Battle

New Weapons
Headsman's Axe

Changes
Added a sound for purchasing new gear
Added ability to change voice

Fixes

I followed the countdown for the reveal but ended up more disappointed than hyped. The setting does not sound very interesting besides vikings and I doubt it will be any more successful than WotR. After 515 hours it would suck if people abandoned WotR in favour of WotV, only to quickly grow tired of it and abandon both games. And they really could have chosen a better setting than vikings vs brittish...

Yeah feels mostly just like viking hype. The Nords were so superior imo in M&B multi, I've thrown a million throwing axes already, I'm done with that XD

The crusades might've been a cool setting

War of the Vikings Alpha was released today for WotR owners. It is pretty cool actually. It feels like a mix between WotR and Chiv in a good way. Considering that it is only alpha, the gameplay has HUGE potential as it brings the best from both medieval online games. I am still disappointed by the Vikings VS. Saxons setting as I drool of the thought of playing this in a Roman/Greek, feudal Japan or Crusades setting. Remember that WotR is free to play without custom classes so if anyone wants to give it a shot and be guided and aided by myself, let me know.

New features:
- Travel Mode: You can sprint really fast but unequips weapons for realism. The movement is not floaty or sluggish as it can appear like in WotR.
- Dodge attacks: Can attack during dodge with special animations for realism and fun. Really cool I tell you.
- No plate armour or cavalry is going to make balance easier

Chivish features:
- Dodge
- Throwing weapons
- Stamina
- More brutal and faster pace for the time being
- Special attack

You would like it altough in its current simplistic state it is still no match against WotR or Chiv.
