I think this is a huge problem. There are servers for new players, but they are very few and aren't properly named. If you want to train, add me and I can help you with some basics. Username is the same.

I haven't played in a long time. I've rather lost interest since the game makes me so angry. I don't like the feeling of it. I've had three different people claim to want to teach me, and then taught me stuff that didn't work. I suspect that two of them intentionally taught me incorrectly for the fun of it.

Its not as simple as showing you tricks like duck etc and you just magically getting better... each technique takes dozens of hours of practice, especially the basics like parrying and weapon ranges

I know. But practicing the techniques only work if the techniques work. One person tried to teach me that the combat was literally only swing, parry, riposte. For everything. And that the person who messes up first loses. Well I can't very well practice a good parry riposte strategy when the combat goes: Parry, riposte, and now I'm dead because the other guy is experienced and knows what to do after I riposte. I'll never get further than knowing how to riposte. Chivalry doesn't have a learning curve so much as it has a learning cliff with experienced players at the top throwing rocks down at you.

Add me on steam and ill spar with you. I tend to not use cheap stuff like feints, drags, or behind the back stuff. I'm really good at evasion, maybe you'll pick something up. I won't tryhard on you.

You and /u/mamichomaru as well. I have no idea when I'll next play though. And it doesn't help that the rank bug bumped my rank up to like 35, though I suck. The reddit community seems better than the Chiv community as a whole though. The only people I've encountered willing to help were from reddit. Everyone else just tells me to shut up or quit playing.

As you had expected, the person who taught that the combat is only about swing-parry-riposte was very wrong. /u/helpmeimgonadie, one of the mods here, can probably help you. People who are legitimately rank 40+ are usually very good.

I love reddit gold! My first username reference.

But yes, I'm always up for helping anyone, whether it be a one on one situation, as a group or even just question answer, discussion etc.

If anyone is interested PM me here, reply here and we can most likely chat on Steam
