All the serious servers force 1st person view, it's way more fun that way... 3rd person gives way too much advantage.
3rd person view was what enabled such insane maneuevers in Mount & Blade, like the spinning ducking two hander that feinted a million times... impossible to block.
1st person ftw.

To people that use ultra fast sensitivity for their mouse, it's ok. For me, a low sensitivity user, fighting first person is a nightmare consisting of people going around in circles around me like they dance ballet. It just kills my mood to play because no one fought like that for real, only in video games people charge at spearman with their knives and then circle around it while slashing like mad. I know it's a video game, but I just can't indulge some of the weird rules they go by.
First person definitely feels more epic, but here I choose staying alive over being epic and dead.

Hmm... suits me fine cuz I'm one of those fingertip-grip mouse users that max the sensitivity and move the mouse with micromovements ^^
A tip I gave Ivor in the slaughterfest I joined:
The server browser is BROKEN. If you can't find any games you like, select "view full games" and join one of those. I guarantee in like 60% of the cases you'll get in and the server is not full at all, it has like 3 people in it.

I seriously doubt that. The only class type that will have a problem with horse archers is melee infantry but there are already dragoons (have to dismount to fire) that can with inefficiency use hit and run tactics against melee infantry. Even 100% archery aim will not help much on a shaking horse as well. Infantry archers are good at shooting horses and would reload faster and in return for the cavalry perk you give up the infantry perk which gives foot speed. Horse archers would probably have only a small angle from which to fire. Melee cavalry would be very good at catching and destroying horse archers and not too many maps got large fields where horse archers would be able to run free and manuever properly.

Increased my Chivalry playtime to 5 hours an hour ago. I am a 3rd person view lover but 3rd person sucks in Chivalry.
I prefer to play Archer with javelins or bow but I also like Vanguard with spear+throwing.

There's nothing quite like sneaking behind enemy lines, decapitating archers, and then having 3 enemies chasing you while they smack each other (then I quickly turned to disembowel one of them before finally dying)

Nothing quite like facing the last enemy on the team and seeing him draw a maul, and just smile and draw my thrust dagger and prepare to humiliate him...
Maul is the number 1 noob killer though. If you wanna have real fun during your beginning hours you can just level the warhammer until you unlock the maul and then it's ROCK ONNNNN...!!!
Warhammer is epic too though... 2 hits everything in the game.

How does dmg work in Chivalry, I have to ask? Do those percents mean how much HP you lose? Or is there something more complex like blunt weapons ignoring percentage of armor? I don't think that two handed weapon with 50% does same as 50% one handed weapon... Or is it just me?
For example, by going with numbers on their site (here), Warhammer has 56% dmg and Claymore has 56% dmg. However, Warhammer DOES kill you in two hits while Claymore does not. So what gives?
EDIT - Dammit people, you are making me jelly now  I will have to haste with windows and redownload Chivalry soon!

I'll just quote a forum post:
Quote:
Each attack of each weapon does different damage. Moreover, there are different types of damage, every class being differently vulnerable to these types.
The three basic types of damage are: Blunt, Slash and Pierce
Combinations of some exist, such as Pierce-Blunt (Morning Star) and Blunt-Slash (Axes)
Each class has resistances to these damages.
The Knight, for example, takes only
0.4 (40%) of damage from Slash
0.5 (50%) of damage of Pierce
0.6 (60%) of damage of Blunt
If an attack is a combination of damage types, it uses the average of both resistances.
Pierce-Blunt would be (0.5 + 0.6) / 2 = 0.55 (55%)
Blunt-Slash would be (0.4 + 0.6) / 2 = 0.5 (50%)
For more information, see: http://chivalry.wikia.com/wiki/Damage

I pawned so much that game that Sayid made me his temporary nemesis. I am only rank 6 with 7 gameplay hours so I would love to kick HC ass in WotR where the ranks are reversed.

 Ooohohoho, you flatterer there...
I shined in that battle while other battles were not as good.
My WotR rank is 34 with 150 hours so I beat you there. Would love to cut down rank 0 Adrius with my lightsaber, aka scottish sword with hollow grind and toledo steel.

Thanks Adrius, that info is really precious, now I will actually pick my secondary weapon so I can get slash/blunt whenever I play.
I rarely use secondary weapons however, since I feel that all weapons are bit too short in reach as opposed to reality, I have to stick myself in someone's model to make my one handed attacks actually hit. Also, while I'm ranting, do anyone else thinks that swings are kinda slow for some weapons? And not only slow, sort of lifeless, like people who never used sword/axe/etc. in their life. My Vanguards swings the Zweihander like he just got up from long sleep and is still yawning... I know it heavy weapon and all, but dammit man put some will into it! I can imagine a faint "meh" as he swings, it looks like he isn't trying at all.
Rant off (for now).

If this is the case then you are simply dealing with sucky horse archers

Jump towards your enemy and scream with C while speeding up your strike with mouse-dragging and he won't look so tired Asheron ^^
Experienced Vanguards are fearsome as hell... spinning left and right and suddenly turning into an overhead, feinting several thrusts together to close in on me... scary stuff.
EDIT:
You can try the beta duel mode and other stuff by right clicking on Chivalry in Steam, select properties, Betas, and choosing the Chivalry Beta.
Downloading it right now.
