Voices

[shell jungle]

Tornbanner, remove the northerner and gladiator voices from the game. Gladiator is a black rapper from the 80s, what a load of crap! And the northerner has nothing new, except for the words about honor and "Fight for the north!". Each voice before that fit into the game and had unique voice lines. For example, one in all speeches mentioned God, and the other whined and whimpered, asking for mom's help. What about northerners? A special "defend" speech that is no different from "Hold Ground". The game doesn't need them, and it's best to remove them now.

[wind cliff]

I dont mind the northman so much. Hes just kinda of a generic guy who doesnt really do anything special. I think he was made for people who dont want to use a super characterized voice.
While id call that silly, i know there are people who like that kind of thing.

The gladiator on the other hand? Thats not good. I really dont like it and i havnt heard anyone say they do. It sounds like a guy from boston or something, which shouldnt exist for like 700 more years. Its way too modern and comical. If i hear this voice in the game im going to assault who ever uses it.
Also, if they really needed a black guy so bad, why not get somebody with african accent? That would be cool

[shrewd juniper]

The sad thing is that i, not only see the gladiator voice sounds like a black rapper, but also brandon from the infamous series, thug hunt

But yeah, it's really out of place for no reason

And like ya said, the line didn't make sense

[wind cliff]

Why does he talk about teabagging tho? Thats soem fourth wall shit.
Also most chiv players hate teabagging since there are a dozen other ways to insult your opponent

[long thorn]

Jolly Chef also says LMAO so there's precedent for fourth wall breaks like this

[shrewd juniper]

Yeah this shit is hella fucked up

[chrome hamlet]

Good fourth wall breaks make you question yourself

For example the imposter has a lot of « sus » voicelines

[wind cliff]

I noticed that and i winced when i first heard it

[slender maple]

Agreed. Its so awful tbh I'm wondering how the fuck someone actually signed off on something this stupid.

[frank kite]

Even the biggest opponent will fall quickly for who takes him from behind

Gladiator voice is atrocious

Northerner is inoffensive

[unborn scarab]

Gladiator voice is so unbelievable cringe and out of place. It’s sounds like some wEsT CoAsT gAaAanG MeMbEr and it’s horrible. I’ve not seen only one who likes this crap. Remove it, it’s just embarrassing.

[median flame]

I thought it was kinda funny when it was the only one. Especially since I really like the jolly chef voice otherwise. But yeah it’s kinda gross when it’s everywhere.

[keen pumice]

Gladiator voice... It doesnt fits in the medieval vibe, and its a little bit cringy. Like "one teabad coming up." bro. what the heck

[strong dagger]

[weak topaz]

I hear the northman voice ane I kinda like but I din't hear the gladiator beacuase I really don't care about the voice lines, you got a video or something about the gladiator voice?

[shrewd juniper]

"One T-bag coming up"
https://www.reddit.com/r/Chivalry2/comments/z98b73/wtf_is_that/

[heavy pawn]

Northman voice is good but this gladiator voice is just cringe and out of place. Was hoping for roman gladiator version when I saw it but was sadly disappointed.

[fair bloom]

Bruh got the gladiator voice when u say help he says I’m getting banged on a little help

[weak topaz]

What is a T-bag?

[shrewd juniper]

T-bag, or Tea-bag, is spamming crouch and stand up after killed someone, like using the teabag, to taunt the guy who got killed. This definition is, atleast, dated back to the time people played quake and unreal tournament, and this "traditional" also went to the CoD and halo series.

🤓

But in summary, it's a gaming definition. Thus, make it modern

[weak topaz]

Who the fuck think that adding a gamer line into an a medieval game was going to be a good idea

[echo orchid]

The developers (they're on crack)

[shrewd juniper]

Tornbanner dev on the challenge trying not to make the worst update humanity has ever witnessed (impossible) (gone wrong) (gone sexual)

[sterile current]

I'm half waiting for an anime girl uwu voice next

[echo orchid]

Don't temp them

CoD added anime skins

And people say Chivalry is medieval CoD

[sterile current]

lol they closed my post about the gladiator voice

[median flame]

Deleting a lot these days. They’re in backpedal mode.

[sterile current]

more like silence the opposition mode

[median flame]

Whatever works for em eh?

[echo orchid]

Why?

[sterile current]

nobody said anything

I'm about to just copy it and re-post it

I guess it was getting too much traction

[echo orchid]

That shouldn't be allowed at all

[viscid sand]

one teabag coming up

[sterile current]

@loud crescent @pseudo pine any idea?

[loud crescent]

wat

[sterile current]

scroll up, my post about the gladiator voice in feedback got closed for seemingly no reason

https://discord.com/channels/209841695850889226/1047811824973783050

I can't even see it in the list anymore

[echo orchid]

Yeah the me thread also got deleted

[loud crescent]

I'm not personally sure but if you contact @viral bay and ask i'm sure the moderator who did that can fill you in

[echo orchid]

I mean we already understand. Just some loser with too much time on their hands

[loud crescent]

[echo orchid]

@sterile current The only thing that I can think of is that they're trying to consolidate similar topics into a single thread but your thread was both older and more popular

[pseudo pine]

one teabag comin up

[sterile current]

exactly

pisses me off

[echo orchid]

One tbag comin up

Imagine having to PAY for that

Literally Mordhau

[sterile current]

you should just re-open my post

pls

[echo orchid]

Dude nobody cares. No developer is going to actually look at that thread and think "wow, the players aren't too fond of this new content"

Respectfully

[pseudo pine]

moderating rn

cant

[sterile current]

might as well get rid of the entire feedback forum then

[echo orchid]

Now you're speaking the Devs language.

[echo orchid]

This forum is an echo chamber for complaints, criticism, and insults at Jen. But since there are no devs to actually catch any of it, everyone's words just bounce back at each other.

Because of this, we've actually been able to pretty much lay out exactly how to fix all the major issues (design wise) that the game faces. But like I said, it doesn't matter because it's just us. No devs.

[finite obsidian]

Unless we all protest by @ all the devs in chiv 2 chat

Doubts it’s a good idea but the only one we got

[echo orchid]

They unironically rather ban every individual who does this then concede and actually engage in conversation. Just ask the mods

[sterile current]

the worst they can do is ban you for like a week

[echo orchid]

They are allergic to dialogue

[finite obsidian]

Sacrifices eh?

[echo orchid]

I guess. If you believe that would get their attention in a positive way then you can try it but more likely you'll be stopped by the handicapped hall monitors.

They'll snuff that ping out quicker than the Dev would notice

[finite obsidian]

Doubt it, with all the drama and them still not responding pretty much confirms their stance.

Money.

[echo orchid]

In general though if you want to tell something to a Dev I would just DM them. As long as it's not spam and you're being genuine there's little issue

[finite obsidian]

Only 3 people from the development team has wrote something in this discord

Jen and MoonMoon being two of them

They knew how this shit would go lmao, but probs couldn’t do anything to stop it

[sterile current]

half of this stuff is probably Tripwire's fault

[echo orchid]

Problem is they don't understand this simple equation.

To milk the most money out of live service, you need players.

To get players, you need a game that grows over time.

To get growth, you need a good game.

For a good game, you just have to listen to the sensible discussion threads (private servers, mod support, ranked)

[finite obsidian]

You could tell by them being nervous and trying to get through the ‘campaign’ portion quick

TB just never learn man

[echo orchid]

Yeah I don't know why though

[finite obsidian]

They build something decent then fucking trip over it

[echo orchid]

Yeah but with the original game we could take the reins and do whatever we wanted with it so we had the tools to do so

We have nothing here. We are at their mercy

And they are unreasonably cruel with that power

[finite obsidian]

Yup

[echo orchid]

It's now, what is the only saving graces is gone. Not all new content is free

There will be a consistent flow of not only the overpriced battlepass, but also separate bundles

[sterile current]

the little bit of hope I had left for the future of this game is rapidly disappearing

[echo orchid]

Of which the quality is questionable at best and outraging at worst

[finite obsidian]

They want multiple ‘campaigns’ already stated

The coins you earn are worthless

Mordhau had more content during Alpha

Makes me question why the fuck I stopped playing Mordhau for this garbage for a while now.

[echo orchid]

Currently the player base is literally just waiting for the tools to be able to do whatever they want themselves. Very few if any players actually care about Torn Banner's vision they're just forced to acknowledge it since there is literally nothing else in the game

[sterile current]

has there been any talk at all about releasing mod tools?

or is that wishful thinking?

[finite obsidian]

Nope

[echo orchid]

I knew there was going to be a new battle pass each update I just thought they would have the decency to keep all new content in that battle pack rather than having extra bundles outside of that

[echo orchid]

I think one time in an interview like 2 years ago that they said that they were open to it

[finite obsidian]

Private servers need to be released first

[echo orchid]

But they're also open to private servers

[finite obsidian]

They’re open basically means they’re lazy

[echo orchid]

Well yeah obviously but I mention mod support because once that's real nobody would ever bother Torn Banner Devs at all

[sterile current]

so basically we're never going to get mod tools

[finite obsidian]

Why put more dev time

When battlepass

That doesn’t even work in launch

[echo orchid]

If we did it would be in years.

[finite obsidian]

Like they can’t even get that right

[echo orchid]

All things they add are always broken. It's the way it is

But I don't get mad at them for that

Technical issues and limitations although annoying I can forgive

The lack of communication and unwillingness to add features we care about I can't

[finite obsidian]

The Modders saved Chivalry 1, sustainability for Chivalry Deadliest Warrior is non existent. Mirage Arcane Warfare….. lol and now this.

Every single time, they just fuck up

[echo orchid]

Don't talk badly about Mirage. It was basically bug free and had private servers on launch

[viscid sand]

ONE TEABAG COMING UP

[echo orchid]

The one bug Mirage had is actually in Chivalry 2

[finite obsidian]

Bug free and private servers…

Oh a pipe dream

[echo orchid]

Lmao

I don't think they understand their battlepass won't sell if there are no players to buy it

They need to fix the player retention issue to make proper money from their game.

And unfortunately for them the ONLY way to do that is to improve the game

No shortcuts will work

[sterile current]

the only thing I'm hoping right now is that maybe this whole battle pass thing is a way for them to make enough money to hire people who can actually fix the game

[finite obsidian]

The fucked up thing was no confirm button on the purchases, you click it, ya gone

[echo orchid]

Dude they've hired dozens of people. It did nothing. They said they're nearly at 100 employees

[finite obsidian]

Don’t even think they’re overworked, their company page advertises it as a decent place to work at TB

So what the fuck are these employees doing?

[echo orchid]

Just like overwork can be an issue inefficiency can be as well

Money is not an issue for Torn Banner. They've quadrupled in size and are still hiring nearly 30 positions

With over 2 million sales along with microtransactions, they have enough money

Which is why we can wholeheartedly confirm that there are very few explanations for our current situation. The company is either unwilling to improve the game, or unable.

Pick whichever of the two make you feel more comfortable

[median flame]

One teabag coming up!

[shrewd juniper]

Man atleast mordhau give ya the vibe of medieval

Or a bit too much of renaissance era

But still, medieval thingy

Like if i'm not wrong the reason people left mordhau to chiv 2 is to taste the medieval vibe without the ultra-competitive part

[viscid sand]

Gladiator voice

[merry crow]

Gladiator voice sucks, northerner is great but it needs a volume boost to capture the northerner nature

[hexed plume]

Gladiators were slaves.
Gladiator sounds as he sounds.
Torn Banner are Confederates!

[merry crow]

[copper pawn]

Gladiator voice is cringe asf and should be removed

[shell jungle]

Increase the northerner's volume!

[viscid sand]

one teabag coming up

[heavy pawn]

They took the safer option, they'd rather be called cringey than racist. They should have tried a Wakanda inspired voice since they needed to include diversity.

https://tenor.com/view/wakanda-forever-black-panther-gif-21412641

[heavy pawn]

This and decrease gladiator voice.

[echo orchid]

why would they be called racist?

[heavy pawn]

Think

[echo orchid]

I did

[heavy pawn]

Deep African voice, someone get's offended. African tribe voice, offended. There are crazies out there bro.

[echo orchid]

It's hard to say which region the Gladiator is from because it doesn't fit the rest of the game's aesthetic at all

but since this is a medieval game, they could've just had him put on some random european accent

that would have been 'safe' and much more fitting than an american accent

[heavy pawn]

Or north africa accent.

[echo orchid]

The Tenosians are North African/Middle Eastern and it's a Mason only voice

[heavy pawn]

CBA
