they just keep swinging and swinging

wooden socket
#

they do have stamina im pretty sure

analog pelican
#

i wish you could give up faster in like 1-2 seconds so that id stop dying before giving up from bleeding out

wooden socket
#

soon

analog pelican
#

yeah?

#

are you sure?

#

because im not sure

#

atleast when fightign that unarmed one

wooden socket
#

this is what a staff member told me so im inclined to believe hes at least partially correct

analog pelican
#

or are the ai neural network trained to be good?

silent torrent
#

what

analog pelican
#

id assume theyd act weirder if that was the case tho so i assume not

abstract geyser
silent torrent
#

I don't think there's any game that uses a neural network AI

abstract geyser
analog pelican
analog pelican
pulsar dragon
#

I just realized f locks on

analog pelican
#

its very useful

abstract geyser
#

especially in 1v1s

abstract geyser
analog pelican
abstract geyser
#

yeah, from the overhead position i find the easiest

#

but it doesn't go super far, so they have to be just out of melee range

analog pelican
#

i can try to throw it at some point then

pulsar dragon
#

u can throw?

#

im a lil retarted

abstract geyser
#

ideally a brave stand or something so you have more weapons to throw

analog pelican
#

if its the long sword its pretty difficult to throw

#

you can throw it almost straight forward tho

#

but its pretty difficult to throw it accurately, i dont even know if its possible

lean elbow
#

hey i got aquestion

#

yall clipping with this medal thing

lean elbow
#

how does this work?

#

do i have to record whole session and then clip or what

abstract geyser
analog pelican
#

i just upload the entire file after ive trimmed it

abstract geyser
#

nah, it's got 30 second rewind

silent torrent
abstract geyser
#

you can just hit the 30 sec rewind and get the last 30 seconds of gameplay

night vortex

night vortex
#

its really neat tbh

wooden socket
#

anyway guys do you prefer the demo or the playtest and why do you prefer the one that you do?

analog pelican
wooden socket
#

personally i prefer playtest because of just how much better the combat is, it makes up for the lack of gore

lean elbow
idle crane
abstract geyser
silent torrent
abstract geyser
#

if you want to record a whole session you can start a session

silent torrent
#

It's like a dashcam for your games lol

night vortex
#

I believe it actually saves to a cloud and only saves when you edit and dowload the clip from there.
Alternatively you can also generate a link to that clip for your friends

lean elbow
#

aaa

#

ok

silent torrent
night vortex
#

ah gotcha

#

Nevermind me then :)

#

Anyone know if medal or nvidia shadowplay takes more resources?
I have made the mistake of using both at the same time before.

abstract geyser
#

lmao i love the death roll slams

silent torrent
analog pelican
abstract geyser
#

Medal uses a bit less resources than Discord

#

but it's a pretty sweet app tbh

#

really intuitive and easy to pick up

#

in like 5 minutes

pulsar dragon
#

what does the body density slider do in settings?

abstract geyser
plucky lintel
pulsar dragon
abstract geyser
#

oh yeah, i was thinking bone breaks

pulsar dragon
#

does it just make me more resilient to blunt attacks?

abstract geyser
#

that's the only one i play with from timem to tie

analog pelican
#

does more bone breaking setting mean more or less breakage of bones?

abstract geyser
#

With full body density you'll probably notice your strikes don't carry as much weight when they hit as the body is more dense

vestal rampart
#

The ultimate suplex

silent torrent
#

Gonna try spike stick with lowest body density

lean elbow
#

anyone knows how to change framerate in recorded clips

#

it looks like 30 fps max

silent torrent
#

Quality settings at the top

#

If it's already set higher it's because you don't have enough GPU overhead so it can't encode the video fast enough to keep up

abstract geyser
#

i think you can switch to CPU encoding/recording in settings if your GPU is maxxed out

silent torrent
#

Also that

#

But then you need a CPU fast enough to do 60fps lol

abstract geyser
#

but that's for pretty unique sitiations where youve got like an i9 and a sh!tty GPU

#

anyone got any techniques that are totally OP and make you win 99% of the time?

silent torrent
#

spiky stick

abstract geyser
#

?

#

with no armor spear is definitely op for thrusting

silent torrent
#

Use the spiky stick, it's like

#

best weapon

#

Not spear

molten galleon
#

Use the one handed spear trust

silent torrent
#

frfr

abstract geyser
#

oh, that thing. yeah but it's not available in higher tier classes

#

and against armored classes it wouldn't do so well

#

you just touch the skin with it and it kills the npc lol

#

And i meant more like actual techniques with a weapons... not just the weapon itself lol

#

you just drive the axe under the chin for insta kill

#

holding the axe at that height also blocks a lot of the strikes that NPCs throw

#

as you can see it blocked the cross swing by the enemy

#

That's my OP technique....

# chilly moth When did mods turn gold

well they recently discovered this new continent with a bunch of gold on it, but theres unfortunatley there were a bunch of people on it appearntly so the guy who discovered it decided to just do some light genocide, i think he was called columbus or something.

#

i wonder what high body density + low bone snapping is gonna be like

#

gotta try it out in both unarmed and armed combat

loud river
#

Tougher to pierce and cut, easier to break bones

wooden socket
#

yeah

#

ok immediate analysis for unarmed combat seems to reveal that the punches arent as hard anymore

#

like the hits dont hit as hard

tender quest

arctic cradle

Been a bit eh?

arctic cradle
tepid palm
#

when are people getting let in for playtest next?

loud river
#

Militus and I were made mods together along with Mantic. Back a month or two ago

loud river

this week?

#

next week?

tender quest

#

When did you apply?

tepid palm
#

so today

tepid palm

a bit ago

tender quest
loud river
#

Gotcha, yeah shouldn’t be more than 24 hours

#

Likely within 12

tepid palm
#

snn

wooden socket
#

is it just me or does the repeated barrage punches do more damage than the single arm haymaker/"heavy" strikes

arctic cradle
loud river
wooden socket
#

does the ai get affected by stamina at all?

tender quest
wooden socket
#

i dont really hear the breathing but it just seems like they dont because they just wail around perfectly sometimes (but they are easier to knock over if you let them wail around for a bit)

arctic cradle
tender quest
arctic cradle
wooden socket
#

the ai should be able to grapple ngl

#

they literally never grab you or try to grapple other than with weapons

pulsar dragon
#

How do you go into first person?

prisma raft
#

Press V

pulsar dragon
#

thanks

#

if this game ever gets a campaign or story mode, it would go so hard.

wooden socket
#

ive been repeatedly punching this guy in the arms, traps and shoulders and hes about to get up

tepid palm
#

actually would yk

prisma raft
#

Campaign is planned

tepid palm
#

icl u guys should add some sort of grab mechanic

pulsar dragon

´guys

#

my character just crawled his way to losing quite literally

#

he was refusing to get up normally so he was effectively crawling backwards and out of the ri ng

long oasis
#

and bios in slient mode btw

wary tiger
#

oh

#

k i thought you meant something else

#

my fps on the second highest is like 60 sometimes spikes to 90 for some reason on demo btw cause haha funny gore

#

that sounds really phycotic

#

i meant the phyics

long oasis
#

yes

#

but its unreal engine so

wary tiger
#

spelled wrong

long oasis
#

it seems normal to me

wary tiger
#

i'm gonna die

#

"phyics"

pulsar dragon
#

This game feels exactly like the mobile game Bloody Bastards

deep sedge
#

how to get the beta test?

pulsar dragon

the stupid armor guy ruins my demo everytime i only beat him once

i hope they do optimization good

wary tiger
#

some dude just left his weapon in me then when another guy hit that weapon it killed me

long oasis
#

idk why but i cant clip the game with geforce experience

#

i whis i could

wary tiger
#

obs is what i use

long oasis
#

obs is sucks for clips

#

too much efford

whole parrot
#

Use the steam's built in clipping software

#

I use it

#

It's just that on some games it doesnt record the sound at all

#

Example: all arma games

Have the devs said anything about multiplayer?

Ok so for opting to permantly stay in First person or in Third person. I got click V to change it quick at the beginning of every fight, can we get a toggle in the settings to Preferred View and every match it is that view. so if i say i want to be First person, it applies to every match.

and they will go down

summer brook
#

use your mouse

cerulean needle
#

You aim for the head

haughty tinsel
#

I've found that if you can grab them by the chest you can repeatedly strike the head pretty well sometimes, hope that helps.

#

It takes practice to get used to fighting in half sword, it'll become more natural over time

cerulean needle
#

You wont need a crosshair if you play enough for it to become muscle memory

summer brook
#

watch your hand

cerulean needle
#

I love you man

haughty tinsel
#

generally I think you'd be better off starting at low tier but armed instead of fist fights but that's just my experience

#

the third one with a longsword is pretty good for practicing you just have to use footwork and parrying to not get hit

#

also

summer brook
#

if you are going for winning just dodge

#

then hit them

haughty tinsel
#

@manic sedge if you hold your sword in sort of the middle of your screen the game kind of gives you an "assisted parry", not really sure how to explain it but

#

if you practice with it i think you'll get what i mean

summer brook
#

autoparry but is kind of annoying

#

moves your sword towards theirs

haughty tinsel
summer brook
#

so i dont have to deal with it

haughty tinsel
#

also personally i find it helpful to hold shift during a fight, it lowers your center of gravity and also allows you to strafe better

#

fair

#

to each their own

summer brook
#

use shift when swinging because it reaches your sword farther out

haughty tinsel
#

does anyone else have problems using the rondel dagger at higher tiers for stabbing people especially on the ground

pulsar dragon
#

Whats the best weapons in the demo? I use the syth not sure about u guys

haughty tinsel
pulsar dragon
#

thnks

haughty tinsel
#

ive heard that some people like the polehammer but i think its a bit too janky in the demo personally

#

i reccomend carrying a mace or an axe as a secondary instead of a sword because the blades in the demo get stuck and fling you easily

#

some people dont know how to be civil about things but you're also dragging it on you know, just ignore him if you dont like him

dark crescent
haughty tinsel
#

yeah

#

the two handed maces dont really do well for me though

dark crescent
#

I at least find them capable. Half of my deaths are from blunt objects

haughty tinsel
#

in the demo the big candle holders are pretty op early on and maybe later but i never take them past the first boss

dark crescent
haughty tinsel
#

yes

#

which one cause theres two

#

the basic peasant one?

#

yeah i dont like that either

#

the higher tier two handed axe is beautiful though

#

in demo and playtest

#

in playtest i like to play knife peasant, swap the knife to my left hand and use the right to grapple people then stab them

#

it works surprisingly well sometimes

#

i usually do that in armour if it doesnt give me a mace in the playtest

#

grab them, throw/push them off balance then beat them

sonic girder
#

Ah joy

haughty tinsel
#

Guys

I have the best idea

#

They should add limb dismemberment in the final version of the game

In the demo

I don't play demo

yesnt

#

you'll get a feel for the behaviours with enough practice and be able to tell if someone is hurt but the gore helps yeah

and it makes fights feel more impactful

For sure, blood and gore is gonna slap for the reactivity of the combat

#

Getting a good cut is gonna be so much more satisfying

I remember playing the demo before I found out about the playtest and the reactivity of like getting a good hit and the arm lobbing off was addicting

What're some tips you guys have for parrying and what not? Know any neat tricks?

#

if you have an axe knock the weapon away with the handle then sweep up the lenth of it and hit

quiet tundra

#

stabs are tough to parry, for those try to be backing up so it won't hit you anyway

quiet tundra
#

If you're lightly armored, using right-click mode is great for blocking swing attacks from goedendag, billhook, or other swinging axes/polearms. Use half-sword then just catch and push away

vapid hull
#

I love halfswording to block

#

it looks cool

quiet tundra
vapid hull
#

and is practical!!

rigid pollen
#

if their weapon is down and they're gonna swing up, make sure your weapon is down too

#

that sounds obvious but it took a while for me to not get killed by rising cuts

quiet tundra
#

Nothing like half-sword blocking a voulge then wrapping around for a grab

dense island

I think this one is my favorite armor level

vapid hull

Thats his name now

loud river
#

Think of parries in a few different ways. Beats are attacks to the opponent’s weapon to set them off line and open them up to counter, blocking parries to effectively stop an attack from hitting you, but not taking initiative in any way, and winding, which is basically using your weapon to control the opponent’s weapon.

quiet tundra
dense island
loud river
#

Most people who parry are trying to use beat parries, the better folks are using blocking parries and ripostes, and no one is trying winding.

vapid hull
#

Buddy got locked by the grab

vapid hull
#

and positioning

loud river
#

It comes more from setting your blade in a good passive position. You don’t wait for the opponent to act, you set your terms first, as much as possible.

#

I wish there was a keybind to enter a mode to throw

my brain is too smol to just throw weapons normally

loud river
#

Getting a good stance and holding it, letting him riposte after the block

dense island
#

managed to throw a sword

god damn that was good x3

vapid hull

This might be my new favorite weapon because of how funny it was when I clocked him and he stumbled over

#

I feel like the axe's lethality should be evaluated, since it tapped me right here and insta killed me

#

Like insta insta'd

#

And I've noticed that consistently

loud river
#

Axes have the speed of a mace, with the force concentration of a thin blade. They’re insane.

vapid hull

I just feel like that a leg shot being immediate brain death is not right sadeline

So, excuse me for being crap at acronyms, but Msaa, fxaa, and Dlss? I kinda know what dlss is for graphics, but my brain is missclicking.

if you have 100fps but the game doesnt look good then you might want to exchange fps for graphics

did you ever run 60 fps game with 32 inch monitor

its like i watch photos

dlss / dlaa

proven musk
#

Ohhhh! Okay. I only have a gtx 3060, which does support dlss (as far as i know) but i didnt realize it helped both quality and preformance. But then again, it did help get my cyberpunk to break 70fps from time to time. So that makes sense! I appreciate the basics!
