needs a lock to confirm youre human there...

#

followed by a screen with "is there blood in this playtest?" and if you click "yes" youre sent back

limpid elk
#

instead of the normal attention screen it should be this one

#

or just a screen NO BLOOD & GORE IN PLAYTEST

plush tendon
#

probably a sound bit too

limpid elk
#

during the game opening a cool song no no blood no no neither no gore

#

we need to tell people this way

#

so they really hear it

plush tendon
#

put the attention page as a water stamp permanently displayed

just a preemptive message so you know, the playtest does not have blood and gore, as it's being revamped currently, and can't be shown to the vast public at Tokyo Games Show without a private venue.

If you'd like to see some peaks at the development process, check the thread #1279922212421505149

I hope you enjoy the playtest, and dont hesitate to reach out if you need something!

We used to have a bot that would send a gif whenever someone mentioned something about blood or gore, and why it wasn't in, but people found out it would freeze the devs and mods phones, so... They weaponized it.

#

we had to kill quasar because of them. 2024-2024.

just smack them with the gore thing and different versions right away

# plush tendon this is the only reliable method of "stabbing" i have

Hold right click with your polearms and swords, you can aim them perfectly like this

From here, the next step is to just double click left mouse. It stabs a lot more accurately than alt stabbing. It's a technique that once I found out about, I've been telling as many people about as possible, cause it's game changing in how you play.

It's most helpful when folks are on the ground, but situational in combat

I'm a nerd, I like dungeons and dragons and shit like that, and medieval history

idk man. ive seen them in old artwork

maybe consider implementing

yeah it makes you wonder a lot where the old writings come from in old legends, how Chinese had long noodley style dragons and stuff, while the west had four-legged winged beasts, it's interesting

glad flint
worn heron
#

All in all, im just a nerd at heart with a passion for things medieval and fantasy. Things that make ya go "wow"

#

that's why I spent hours just trying to learn about this stupid fucking weapon😭

plush tendon
#

HOLY HELL

#

ME TOO

glad flint
#

its just a stick with a few spikes on it what is there to learn

plush tendon
#

i just couldnt god damn find it

worn heron

i can make that thing right now at home

#

what was its name again i forgot

#

that much i figured since i spent a whole lot of time looking

worn heron
plush tendon
#

oooooh

worn heron
#

Yes yes I'll get to that

tender quest
plush tendon
#

so i looked at the goedendag and found references to a flemish one that sounded more like the one in game but didnt look deeper down that rabbit hole

glad flint
#

so can a goedendag stop a car

#

omw to make one

worn heron
#

It was written that the Flemish would say "Goedendag" to wounded soldiers on the battlefield, and if they replied in french, they would get the stick. Goedendag translates roughly to "good day" in Flemish, but also to "good dagger" in Germanic, so it's a bit rough in history. This text was also never proven, it was just a couple lost texts, like most medieval transcripts.

#

so it's neat to think about for sure

#

Frfr

plush tendon
#

the explanation i read was that the more club like version would sever the spine when thrust through the throat and the guys head would nod down like in a greeting

glad flint
#

thats what i was saying

worn heron
tender quest
plush tendon
#

myeah.. its the flemish spinoff that was refered to as a long stick with spikes

worn heron
#

The spiked stick we have in the game, the lead dev mentioned he's not sure if it even classifies as a Goedendag, cause it might be too big. He said he thinks the idea behind the weapon was quite literally to fit as many spikes on a pole as they can.

#

In the files, the two spikes staves are called "war staffs"

plush tendon
#

would be hard to classify it as that when it shares so little with the original creation

plush tendon
#

maybe just... "flemish goedendag"?

idle crane
#

Too big to be a goedendag. Too clumsy to be a spear. It was actually just a spiky stick. (I can't remember quote word for word)

plush tendon
#

first we need to know what to call it

#

I want actual goedendag

# plush tendon one thing that would be interesting in game but... when its more stable... flail...

I don't have confirmation but I do believe they have a one handed flail in development. Frank and Ivan had failed to find a 15th century flail for the longest time, then, when I had sent them a reference from a 15th century bardiche that I wanted in the game (I'm a bardiche freak), that display in Suzdal Russia just so happened to have a 15th century flail with it as well. Franky was immediately interested in it.

yee but with their team, I think they could make it happen. It's a short chain, since those "longer chain" flails you see in media are quite exaggerated, and not really realistic to what you'd see in reality.

Well you view the game from a first person perspective and you control each arm individually. It's not 1:1 with a proper VR setup, obviously, but imo it's a somewhat similar feeling once you get used to it

only use it when you actually thrust forward, otherwise use base mode for positioning

that's extremely counterintuitive

anyway, anytime I use them, I get one thrust in then drop it because they'll get inside your reach

wary niche
#

stabbing is a bit weird for me still, but slashes are easy

sage heart
#

even slashes

naive aurora
#

Does anyone know when will the blood uptate come out? I forgot williesgaze

sage heart
#

like Ic ant know where it will go

#

and it sometimes flops onto its side

#

I only hold left mouse cuz if I hold both buttons it puts into gaurd position

plush tendon
#

thats not a guard position

#

its more like the offensive option really

wary niche
#

It's a grapple/stabbing position

#

Halfswording is used for more precise and accurate stabs as well as grappling and some blocking

plush tendon
#

that is if we could stab with precision.....

wary niche
#

I've managed to get it to work a few times

#

not often, but a few

plush tendon
#

as is, its mostly just forcing the enemy down

sage heart
#

what mod

wary niche
#

we get gore probably in October

sage heart
#

HOW

plush tendon
#

they can add blood but first focus on giving me more ways to make the opponent bleed in the first place

sage heart
#

no

wary niche
#

Oh you can make the enemy bleed with everything

naive aurora

#

meh im just playing the blood mod with it im fine it adds back dismemberment

wary niche
#

it's just that sometimes armor gets in the way

sage heart
plush tendon
#

well i want more ways to get past armor

sage nymph
#

nexus mods

plush tendon
sage heart
#

why?

sage nymph
#

its pretty good

plush tendon
#

right

sage heart
plush tendon
#

man... i told you to not engage

wary niche
# plush tendon well i want more ways to get past armor

The armor is designed to avoid gettign hit. That's historical. Plate Mail armor is designed to block sharp edges and, to some extent, thrusts. Chain Mail is designed to deflect shashes and some thrusts. Gambison is designed to dampen blunt force impact

sage nymph
sage heart
#

yeah I searched blood in nexus mods

plush tendon
#

holy hell boyo

wary niche
#

armor is built to keep the wearer safe. Not having much spots to get around the armor and cut is part of the point

sage heart
#

no results tell me what to search/name of mod theres only 7 shouldnt be hard

piercing is the name of the game

wary niche

#

yes but it also furthers my point as well. The armor holds for some time. You still have to gethrough the armor to make the opponent bleed

#

thus, the armor still does it's job of protecting the wearer, making it hard to cut the flesh and draw blood

plush tendon
#

eeh... chain and gambeson?

#

thats a good stab

#

or wrestle and a lot of pressure

wary niche
#

Chain is able to withstand some thrusts from wider blades. Rondels, maybe not, but a sword, for some time

plush tendon
#

WHICH IS WHY THEY WERE THIN

# plush tendon WHICH IS WHY THEY WERE THIN

yes but the rondel is not very easy to wield in game. Even with the rondel though, the armor still takes quite a bit of time to get through. My point still stands, you wanted to make the enemy bleed. In order to do so, you have to get past the armor. The armor is going to do it's job, so getting past it requires precision or luck

plush tendon
wary niche
#

that's not what I'm saying

cinder stone
#

I always figured the best weapons against armored foes was stuff like the maces and big long sticks and polearms

plush tendon
#

it is though

#

maces on polearms

#

not 1 handed maces

#

besides polearms its mostly thin rigid daggers and swords

#

and its not through the plate

wary niche
#

what I'm saying is you wanted to make the enemy bleed. You have to find the ways around the armor. The devs have made the physics pretty damn close, if not identical, to actual armored combat. Thus, your ways to make the enemy bleed that you are wanting are already there, you just have to fight for them

cinder stone
wary niche
plush tendon

I usually use them two-handed though, because the accuracy is better

wary niche

not physics, maybe just your accuracy

if it isnt in the game yet then we cant use it

are you? youre trolling

what's a ice pick grip

reverse with a dagger/knife if I understand right

cinder stone
#

oh, stabby style

wary niche
plush tendon
wary niche
#

I'm merely saying that if you want your ways to make the enemy bleed, you have to find the spots that there isn't armor

#

under the arms, in the upper ribs, behind the knee

plush tendon
#

and what im saying is that i want ways to reach them added to the game

cinder stone
#

yeah, like behind the legs, under the armpits, stuff like that

plush tendon
#

wtf man?

wary niche
#

you can reach them

#

I do it all the damn time

plush tendon
#

are you... a bot?

wary niche
#

oh for fks sake

#

bots don't act like that :v

hang on

I hope there's still a endless void mode cuz that is chaotic fun

it's easy to get to the weak points if you just pay attention. I just started this fight not even 45 seconds prior to taking this picture

You wanted more ways to make the enemy bleed. They have all of the ways possible to make the enemy bleed. It's just a matter of getting to them

#

I dont see how my point is getting lost

plush tendon
#

no its there... youre just besides the original subject

craggy ore
wary niche
#

alright. What was the original subject then

plush tendon
#

they have weak spots, yep

#

wep handling needs some work

craggy ore
#

There will be much more added, this is a test build that's only maybe like 5% done

wary niche
#

we are aware. We are all well aware. That isn't news buddy

craggy ore
plush tendon
#

all i said was id like that done more than gore

craggy ore
#

There is so much more going on behind the scenes than devs are letting on, don't worry

plush tendon
#

then this rabbit hole of weird armor trivia comes out of nowhere

wary niche
plush tendon
#

yeah

wary niche
#

you realize how broad of a statement thatis

plush tendon
#

by means of handling

wary niche
#

that could mean weapons, handling, physically accessible, etc.

plush tendon
#

well that too

craggy ore
#

you could always put a thread in the feedback channel with what you're looking for, or look for someone asking for something similar

wary niche
#

it's common knowledge in this server that the weapon handling is janky. That's gonna be the nature of the game. It's mouse controlled

craggy ore
#

stab accuracy/magnetism to weak points has been asked about a lot

wary niche

Yes, but, trying to be precise usually ends up getting your helmet busted open by some banzai charging poleaxe

At the end of the day all I can say is, skill issue.

craggy ore

they glitch fight and it annoys me

misty lotus

also play defensive and space with poleaxes they always have the advantage in engagements

you can also use the poleaxes to shove people into the ground

That game still surprises me-- that willie got scared, dropped his candlestick and started screaming right before I hit him

it's like he went "OH SHIT" when his candlestick got stuck against the other one

I'm playing a lot and I have these impressions of what is weird/not looking optimized (bear in mind I LOVE the game and I like everything else):
-combo shield/ buckler hand weapon: seems less intuitive/precise when it comes to strike with weapon compared to polearms/two handed sword
-trusts need a dedicated button instead of this complicated ALT/double click stuff
-left hand dagger should stab by default and not cutting when using it

am I doing something wrong?? How can make these things better in game?
