[fringe cape]

I mean there wasnt really any blunt to it. just rested it on his face then pushed him down

[fast bramble]

I go to make banana bread and someone goes and gets themselves banned

[boreal path]

two people within 5 minutes

[pulsar ivy]

lemme have some

[calm ivy]

idk if this is a bug, or if it's just.. the end of a stick being kinda sharp, but I'm able to get stabs on the bottom end lol (this one doesn't seem like a stab as much, tho)

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/j2wA2TQ5fzDaldQGZ?invite=cr-MSwzQ0QsMjY1MzE2ODc2LA

[fringe cape]

oh yeah that stuck right in

[calm ivy]

loll it's like I BROKE it off 😛

You should see this other one!

[fringe cape]

looks like you lower it onto the shoulder and it just phases through

very strange

[calm ivy]

[calm ivy]

BETTER phasing:

[fringe cape]

pfff

was in bros head

[soft osprey]

Rip that guy

[pulsar ivy]

i just reinstalled medal.tv and it seems to be working fine, but the last time i tried to use it, some random asmr ahh voice would say "recording started" but never just give me a 30s clip

[calm ivy]

weird lol

[fringe cape]

i ue the xbox app but it locks at 30fps :/

[pulsar ivy]

i just realised i can use the ovrdth selector without restarting the game

[remote crypt]

I use medal

but apparently steam clips is a thing now

[pulsar ivy]

ill be using medal as long as the loud british asmr medal boy doesnt start talking

you know what would be cool is if i could pick the loadout of the enemy

[calm ivy]

Makes it SO much easier! I love that mod lol

[pulsar ivy]

bro i just realised why the medal thing was happening to me

im HOLDING f8

i just need to press it

[pulsar ivy]

the naming of some of the loadouts is kinda weird, but its a really great mod

[calm ivy]

loll yeaa!

[fast bramble]

Ooooof

[soft osprey]

“Assblaster loadout”

[pulsar ivy]

P1HX is a axe loadout

[calm ivy]

Who was the other person??

[pulsar ivy]

idk how that works

[fast bramble]

I used a combo of eggnog and sour cream in it instead of milk, so hopefully it turns out good

[pulsar ivy]

where did you get that?

[remote crypt]

I use a loadout I made

all the time

[pulsar ivy]

you can make loadouts?

[boreal path]

Piss Drinker

[remote crypt]

Yes, but since the dude who discovered it before me made ME find it

[soft osprey]

You ruined my joke by asking a serious question so not telling you

[remote crypt]

I won't be sharing

[fast bramble]

Did it get an update or something? These are the default loadouts it came with for me

[pulsar ivy]

same

[pulsar ivy]

dang

[calm ivy]

Ohhh okay

[soft osprey]

(I don’t have an answer for you, I don’t use the mod)

[jolly gorge]

best way to restrain someone

[pulsar ivy]

alr i found it, it does suck that you have to just randomly pull the loadout that you wanted though

[remote crypt]

yeah

I'm talking how I have a Tier 7 longsword

on a tier 5 char

with a dagger you don't get till t7

[pulsar ivy]

oh dang saving loadouts just doesnt work for me

[remote crypt]

You gotta run the selector as admin

if you saved it to program files

[pulsar ivy]

and i dont think that you would tell me how to do this either right?

[remote crypt]

Not that

that's what I mentioned the guy who discovered won't share

and I found it on my own, so as a respect thing to them

I do not

[calm ivy]

I DEMOLISHED these guys lol:

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/j2x4n8Le00_nbnAVN?invite=cr-MSxQdGosMjY1MzE2ODc2LA

[soft osprey]

Bros the Ultimate gatekeeper

[remote crypt]

I'd rather respect the dude

[fast bramble]

I know how to do it but was also asked to not share it

[remote crypt]

Yeah I was fucking about and found it

[fast bramble]

Same lol

[remote crypt]

showed the guy who set me up with my stuff originally

and he said "I told the devs I wouldnt"

so I won't,

[fast bramble]

Yeah the devs told him not to as well, I wonder if it's the same guy lol

[pulsar ivy]

how do i download the video after i have edited it on medal

oh i got it

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/j2xbNvS0v3o4DRue7?invite=cr-MSx4SUUsMjkwOTEwNjAwLA

[fast bramble]

It also saves a local copy on your computer

[pulsar ivy]

how is he still alive

[fast bramble]

Because it was the handle that hit him, not the blade

[pulsar ivy]

oh

[soft osprey]

What if I were to offer you this?

[pulsar ivy]

the way he looks at it is so funny

[remote crypt]

I mean I can save you a loadout

I won't tell you how

[soft osprey]

How about angel Willie?

[soft osprey]

Jokes on you, I don’t use the mod

[fast bramble]

You can do loadouts without the mod

[soft osprey]

Jokes on you, I haven’t played half sword in a month

[fast bramble]

Oh

[soft osprey]

I know

[fast bramble]

Yet you remain here

[soft osprey]

Kill me

Beat me up

[pulsar ivy]

jokes on you, i dont own a pc

[soft osprey]

I’m waiting for blood to come back

I love half sword but it got boring after a while

I just like being here

[pulsar ivy]

im playing this on my phone

[fast bramble]

That is fair, I still play it from time to time but every time I do it just ends up making me wish there was more

[remote crypt]

yeah just I mean like

my t5 with t7 gear

[fast bramble]

You could in theory do it with my method, all his mod does is put it in an easy-to-use UI

[pulsar ivy]

the passive parry doesnt really protect me, it just kinda moves the sword towards the other willies sword

[soft osprey]

Frfr. I just can’t play for more than like an hour at a time when I play. I also got a modlist from wabbajack for bannerlord 1259ad, so I’ve been real invested in that. Nearing day 3000 soon. Bannerlord has been open for the past like two weeks on my pc lol

[fast bramble]

Yeah I find if I play for longer than like half an hour to an hour I just get frustrated at the lack of blood, additional game modes (like the Abyss), customization, etc. and then close the game

[remote crypt]

Yeah its a pain in the ass

[pulsar ivy]

i just get mad at a really stupid death and get off

[soft osprey]

Open half sword, press tiers a couple times, close half sword. Rinse repeat, finally play a bit, repeat cycle

[pulsar ivy]

bro i just got on getting over it and instinctivley held shift to get into a better stance

its a mouse only game

[fast bramble]

Real

I'm glad I've got hundreds of hours of Tales of Berseria left to tide me over, and STALKER 2 is coming out at the end of the month so I'm just going to disappear at that time

Gonna miss the blood update

[smoky quail]

blood update isn't real, take your pills

[graceful cosmos]

Id like an option to swing a long sword with one arm

and not when an arm gets busted up

[remote crypt]

Go into half sword

then switch hands

it will force you into left hand onehand

there's no method I know for doing it righty

[graceful cosmos]

hm

[remote crypt]

let me record a vid

actually I might have one

[graceful cosmos]

see with the long sword it switches side position but it doesnt opt for swinging with one arm

[remote crypt]

So right click

don't hold it

actually toggle half sword

Then switch hands.

[graceful cosmos]

i found another way with having a second weapon and putting the weapon on E away

[remote crypt]

ye that works till your hands meet again

skip to the end if you just wanna see the hand swap @graceful cosmos

@calm ivy you'll love this

why tf it clip it twice

medal I stg

[calm ivy]

VERY nice in-fighting!

[graceful cosmos]

Half Sword Combat + Dark Souls

[remote crypt]

honestly

but the one handing is more reminiscent of saber with the longsword

[graceful cosmos]

maybe i guess

[remote crypt]

I always have trouble with these fuckers tho

[dense island]

lookit this strapping young lad

[junior epoch]

farmer brown goes sicko mode

[graceful cosmos]

:)

[remote crypt]

nice followup on the first clip

decent exchange on the second

that third was a great disable

[graceful cosmos]

i like to call the third one. The Grim Hanged

[blazing hollow]

when is blood coming

[remote crypt]

#faq

[languid nest]

legendary headbutt ko?

shoulder bash?

[glacial falcon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1073345209317986387/1276354353367748640/attachment.gif

[hushed gale]

Sometime after the tgs

Oh wait

Nvm

Soon

“Soon”

After gta 6

[thick robin]

[chilly moth]

Blood update will come after the online update

[junior epoch]

my estimate is another 2 months

[remote crypt]

I mean

as long as yall can beat negan bat consistently we're straight

[flat sparrow]

seriously tho why cant we just have the same gore thats in the demo, in the play test

[remote crypt]

Cause of TGS

blame japan's censorship laws

[flat sparrow]

i just want to do fist play with a bloody nose man

[remote crypt]

fair

I want this song to be in the game too tho https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=XXusWJZPhyA&feature=shared

[flat sparrow]

this feels like a dark and darker battle all over again

great game but then some dumb legal bullshit getsd in the way and nobody ever puts love into it again

[remote crypt]

Well if you look in #work-in-progress

they're getting there

I just assume its not just going to be blood in the update with how long it's taking.

[flat sparrow]

im just venting

but i get it

[remote crypt]

Fair

[coarse hemlock]

just mod blood into the game

im sure someone can do that

[remote crypt]

The assets aren't even in the game

only the demo

[flat sparrow]

if someone got the sauce ill do it lol

[coarse hemlock]

yea mod the demo blood into the playtest

thats what i meant

[flat sparrow]

i only play fist play tbh, dont even play the demo or touch weapons anymore

[flat sparrow]

how

[coarse hemlock]

with some code magic

probly

idk how to code so idk if its hard or easy

[flat sparrow]

yea i follow guides lol

im not doing that shit on my own

[coarse hemlock]

oh

ok

[flat sparrow]

long story short, this game needs a little blood soon or its gonna die

one way or another

[coarse hemlock]

without gore its still pretty cool\

[flat sparrow]

plenty of games have blood, it doesnt need to be the best that ever came out

its def still cool

but it adds a lot

[coarse hemlock]

yea

[coarse hemlock]

i cant wait to see willie squirt

blood

um

[flat sparrow]

rope

straight rope

we need more rope shootin in this game

[coarse hemlock]

perhaps

[woven nexus]

The dev team are focusing on early access

[coarse hemlock]

awesome

[woven nexus]

Its not that the game isnt getting love, its that they are working on EA the demo and playtest are really just proof of concept

[coarse hemlock]

just proof of concept....?

[fast bramble]

I imagine we're only getting the next update for free because they promised it

Yeah

The game's only 5% complete

[coarse hemlock]

.

[dreamy rampart]

Can you break bones in playstest?

[coarse hemlock]

WHAT

[dreamy rampart]

Cus

[coarse hemlock]

yea

[dreamy rampart]

Can't swing

Bouts get swung

My man also put me into a leg lock

[coarse hemlock]

uh oh

[coarse hemlock]

🤤

[fast bramble]

Yes, you can tell they're broken because all the broken limbs do is flop around uselessly

In the future they're planning on spicing that up more, even adding compound fractures (bones sticking out of skin)

[coarse hemlock]

ok now thats um

psychotic

[blissful gulch]

I just died to a crotch punch. That npc made a fool of me.

[fast bramble]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOe2aZGvTgk

[coarse hemlock]

yeowch

[blissful gulch]

It was a spinning backfist too. I didn't know they could do that.

[languid nest]

ignore the inconsequential flailing i am doing

is it just me or do the ai hit your weakpoints more than you hit theirs

[coarse hemlock]

they are ai

they dont move like humans

therefore more accurate hits

[languid nest]

I refuse to believe they aim

[dreamy rampart]

Tuff asf

[coarse hemlock]

um

quite tuff indeed

[graceful cosmos]

Bones sticking out of skin?... will this be the greatest game??? looks at my playtime Oh..

[dreamy rampart]

It's gunna be like 70 bucks but I'll still buy it cus I'm deticated

I'm gonna be a brokie

[coarse hemlock]

its probly gonna be 70 bucks

[graceful cosmos]

id pay $120

i kid. ill settle for $70

[woven nexus]

70$ for an indie title with a few devs?

[coarse hemlock]

at 70 or 120 dollars i would just not play it

[dreamy rampart]

Personally, if any of the devs are lookinga t this, I would make the game 40$ and add a shop kinda like fortnite and add skins and new in game purchases

[fast bramble]

They've mentioned thinking $40 was too steep before but that's subject to change

[dreamy rampart]

Oh

Mvm

[coarse hemlock]

no

[dreamy rampart]

Yall know Ken Carson

No

[coarse hemlock]

nah

[dreamy rampart]

Nah

[blissful gulch]

Too steep? I wouldve expected that to be the bare minimum

[fast bramble]

I know the name, he's a rapper right? Never heard any of his stuff

[dreamy rampart]

Hell yeah

He's fire

Litsening to him rn

Played him in my gym infront of 200 peeps

[fast bramble]

Subject to change

[dreamy rampart]

School

[blissful gulch]

Yall have created something comparable (Greater than imo) to triple A games, I think you guys deserve to be able to sell it at a price like 50-60, if not higher

[fast bramble]

I wish I was talented enough to make this game

I'm just a mod abused Rubber

[woven nexus]

AAA games are garbage in recent yrs tbf

Price goes up quality goes down

[blissful gulch]

true

This is probably the greatest swordfighting game i've ever seen.

[languid nest]

I am working on my evasion skills

notice the dodge into headbutt at the end

[dreamy rampart]

This game has some of the best physics I've seen

Charge it in the higher area

It takes alot of work

[fast bramble]

I've tried giving them my money several times now and they keep rejecting it

So now I'll have to buy like at least 5 copies of this game

[remote crypt]

^

[blissful gulch]

They should just casually drop their venmo or cashapp or paypal or whatever for us... 🙂

[fast bramble]

Apparently they had a donate link on itch.io for a while but it's gone now

They don't want to take money from people that aren't their publisher because people have expectations when they pay money

Even when they say they don't

[blissful gulch]

that's fair, accounting for the entitledness of people is definitely important. Is there a way to get around that with a disclaimer or anything like that?

[fast bramble]

Considering how the game tells you there's no blood and the reason why, there's an FAQ that says no blood and why, and there was even a bot that responded to blood questions, and people still come on here daily demanding blood without paying any money, I'm getting the feeling they'd just rather not

[tough yew]

half sword but with da felvidek sauce

[woven nexus]

Fencer

U r my halfsword idol

I have been learning to play better from all ur clips

[tough yew]

cool

i didn't know i was a mentor

[restive garnet]

I can't wait to see many ppl play with the gore 1.7 and blood 1.5

[woven nexus]

Same

[tough yew]

the blood

[fast bramble]

I'm gonna post so many first person clips of it

[restive garnet]

Heckk yeahh

[woven nexus]

Im so excited for it galaxyyy

[fast bramble]

Same

[restive garnet]

I am as well!

[fast bramble]

I'm so excited I'm starting up Half Sword now even though I wasn't feeling it earlier

[restive garnet]

Hahaha

[woven nexus]

I waited for a surgery for 13 months i can wait for halfsword update ahaha

[restive garnet]

🥹

[fast bramble]

Exactly how I feel

I've been through the ringer of long wait times and delays before, this is easy

[woven nexus]

Exactlyyy

I keep dreaming with halfsword playtest having gore tho

[blissful gulch]

Wrestling or something

[woven nexus]

Apparently brain is hyped even when sleeping lolol

[tough yew]

i play exanima so im already patient

[exanima devs take an entire year to release an juciy ass update]

[woven nexus]

Omg right

Exanima has been over a yr still no update

Their last update was oct last yr

[blissful gulch]

Do you think this will get patched or will this stay?

[coarse hemlock]

new update will be awesome

[fast bramble]

Patchnotes:

Added more procedurally generated maces

[coarse hemlock]

i hope

[tough yew]

its obviously a lot more than that

[frank scarab]

same, except i waited 10+ years for a sequel of a game that will prob never come out.

[fast bramble]

Sometimes it's that though

[woven nexus]

HL3?

[frank scarab]

scratch that, 2 games now.

[woven nexus]

Lolol

[coarse hemlock]

sui generis looks fun but ur right

it will never come out

quite sad

[frank scarab]

three games now

[tough yew]

SG is gonna come out trust

[fast bramble]

STALKER 2: originally announced 2010, devs went bankrupt and closed up shop, several years went by before they came back, several years of delays, maybe coming out on the 20th but who knows at this point

I can wait for blood

[frank scarab]

4 games

damn it

[blissful gulch]

Lbp4?

no?

[tough yew]

i hate sony

i will only redeem them if they make a remaster that includes all the games

[woven nexus]

Me waiting for a game like spore...

[fast bramble]

Spore was our best chance at Spore and they blew it

[blissful gulch]

If you're talking about lbp, that would be incredible

[woven nexus]

Yeah... but i loved it..

[fast bramble]

Same

[tough yew]

yes

[fast bramble]

When I found out it was supposed to be so much more I got sad

[blissful gulch]

It was? I grew up on that

[woven nexus]

Same.

It was my favorite game of all time

Still is top 3

[fast bramble]

What got released was a stripped down, barebones version of the game, both due to time constraints and because they thought getting into all the nitty gritty wouldn't be fun anymore

[frank scarab]

me when i 100% absolutely know that i will 50 when sg releases:

[woven nexus]

Have u seen elysian eclipse?

[fast bramble]

Yesss

I have hope

[woven nexus]

Its on my wishlist and watch list

[fast bramble]

But I'm still in the skeptical phase

[woven nexus]

I have so much hope..but same

Highly skeptical

[tough yew]

potentially

[blissful gulch]

anyone know what portal knights is?

[woven nexus]

Rpg with survival gimmicks

Short and somewhat linear

Best with a friend or two imo

[fast bramble]

I thought I did but then I remembered I was thinking of the Spiral Knights promo items for TF2

[blissful gulch]

played it with my fiance, we're on the third boss rn

[blissful gulch]

Spiral knights was fun to play as a kid, never got far though, kept restarting because I forgot what happened in the story

[woven nexus]

Cute d;

[frank scarab]

slenderman

or just tv static

[remote crypt]

People are kinda really

really

really

bad

at reading

or being smart enough to know they're wrong

[woven nexus]

Im gonna sound like a boomer

I blame social media and short form videos..including tiktoks insta reels, etc etc

[fringe cape]

https://tenor.com/view/gore-heart-gif-18265702

my heart on no gore

[remote crypt]

I do as well tbh

My attention span was already pretty shit but comprehension was good

(IE: needed to watch videos at 2x)

but fuck man

this new group of adults I'm in is just fucking spastic

18-25 range

[blissful gulch]

Ikr, our generation is full of psychos.

[remote crypt]

fucking nyoom

[remote crypt]

It's wild tbh

I had a millenial/genX vocabulary till I joined the army (fuck this fuck that etc)

then I was forcibly brainrotted into saying shit like Bussin

like

BUSSIN?

CAP?

It's "This is fucking awesome" or "That's bullshit"

conversational confetti

Took me a few years to get back to "Oh yeah no that's bullshit what the fuck are you talking about XYZ"

[blissful gulch]

I feel the next generation of kids is gonna be SOOO much worse with all the ipad kids out there

[remote crypt]

I mean, there are people that I meet that just got in that are literally psychopaths

then there's the completely incapable of basic function

it's weird to watch. Sure I had to learn to shave in basic but jesus

some of these fellas don't even have drivers' licenses

[blissful gulch]

(I don't have my drivers license, but its complicated 🥲 )

[remote crypt]

Meh I'll check the DWI records

[blissful gulch]

I work two jobs and I'm engaged, so I feel like that makes up for it at least a little bit

[blissful gulch]

I've never drank alchohol and I don't intend on ever changing that (underage anyway)

[remote crypt]

Valid

I'll have a sip on fridays so I'm technically too inebriated to be called back into work after we're free for the day.

Also congrats on the engagement

I'm glad to see our generation committing more.

[blissful gulch]

Mhm, my first and only relationship.

[remote crypt]

Good on ya

[blissful gulch]

(wait i just said the same thing twice)

[remote crypt]

my first serious relationship I was abused every way you can think of

learned a lot. Now I'm married to a different gal and a homeowner

happier now at least.

[fast bramble]

Marriage I couldn't care less for but damn if I don't want to be a homeowner

[remote crypt]

I mean I have the VA loan so it was a lot easier than if I wasn't able to

[blissful gulch]

I hope to be, hopefully a game design degree will pay well

[remote crypt]

It also depends on where you settle down

cost of living vs wage

[fast bramble]

Yeah for sure, my area's relatively cheap compared to the rest of Canada at least

[remote crypt]

Where I'm at it's around 50k and I'm gonna get a cushy ass federal job when I'm free from the military

Postal probably

[fast bramble]

After wasting a good chunk of my life not knowing what I wanted to do I'm gambling it all on a plant biotechnology degree

[remote crypt]

Like

🪴

plants?

[fast bramble]

Yeh

[blissful gulch]

Thats how i've been lol, I settled on game design cuz I did a class in high school on it and was actually decent at it

[tough yew]

visceral end to da duel

[fast bramble]

I was going to do IT, went to school for it and everything, then it turned out the job market was oversaturated and it really wasn't what I wanted to spend my life doing anyways

Floated around a bit aimlessly, started growing plants

[remote crypt]

neat

[fast bramble]

And it really sparked a passion in me

[remote crypt]

Yeah honestly

I was gonna do IT

that's my army career rn in a vague sense

but fuck man

I want to just CHILL

[fast bramble]

I like noodling around with computers, I don't really like the stress of being called in at 3AM to deal with a foreign government agency trying to hack into Club Penguin or whatever

[remote crypt]

^

Thankfully the extent of my stuff is more dish network esque

[blissful gulch]

So IT is a bad idea.... noted

[remote crypt]

I mean depends on where you work

a school is cushy as shit for IT

until one kid decides he's a hacker

[fast bramble]

Really depends on what you want to do, where you get the job, etc.

The money is pretty much always worth it

[remote crypt]

^

[fast bramble]

But it still gets to you

[remote crypt]

You'll scream at a server rack at least once

I have

[fast bramble]

You'll throw at least one printer out a window

[remote crypt]

I've never done that yet

then again, the printers were never near windows

[fast bramble]

You've gotta find the window

[blissful gulch]

In high school I used a coding website to make a fully functional texting app so me and my friends could chat during the school day, since we couldn't have our phones on us.

[fast bramble]

It's the only reasonable death for a printer

[remote crypt]

oh dope

I usually just broke into the teacher wifi

[fast bramble]

I added https:// to the start of URLs and downloaded SWF files of flash games so they couldn't be blocked

[tough yew]

using the buttspike to k.o willie

[remote crypt]

my IT department hated me

[blissful gulch]

Thats fair, we basically did the same just made the regular wifi work without the restrictions, since our school kinda sucked at cybersecurity

[remote crypt]

my mother hated me too because I locked her out of the router so many times

Or spoofed my mac

etc

[fast bramble]

I'm surprised the IT department never spoke to me, I abused that network. Meanwhile they'd go after the kids installing Minecraft

[remote crypt]

Cause then they'd have to admit they were bad at their job

[fast bramble]

Lmao

[remote crypt]

Ours was pretty decent

northeastern education

[blissful gulch]

I was also that, just a small town school, with a class of about 100

[remote crypt]

lucky mf

I was always the dude people bet on if there was an inkling of a fight

so I just talked it out cuz I wouldn't see that money

IF they paid me... diff story.

[tough yew]

more polearm clips

oh yea, sorry for disrupting the convo but can you guys move said convo to general-chat?

[fast bramble]

yeh

[blissful gulch]

ohh

[fast bramble]

I post Half Sword

[blissful gulch]

whoops

[tough yew]

its fine dw

[tough yew]

half

[blissful gulch]

That shield is GONE

[blissful gulch]

Earlier a guy with two broken arms did a spinning backfist and it hit me in the crotch and I DIED

I wish I had that clipped, but steam recording makes my game bug out, only got one clip in before it almost crashed

[tough yew]

did a pretty big comeback here

[fast bramble]

Right on the edge of death, nice

[tough yew]

it was now or never

[remote crypt]

Oh yeah

[remote crypt]

you probably would have died if you didnt get that grab

[blissful gulch]

wait I think i got it working

[tough yew]

this is how my screenshots look with my reshade set up atm

[fast bramble]

Almost painting-ish

[fast bramble]

I think he dead

[remote crypt]

very'

[blissful gulch]

It bugs out at the beginning each time

[blissful gulch]

Also, I'm really bad at this game

[tough yew]

armor looks really good as well

[blissful gulch]

wait, question, which tier is your personal go to?

[tough yew]

t8 imo

[remote crypt]

7

[flat fern]

ive been experimenting eith moving weapons to block and parry

and grappling

me like

[tough yew]

the mirror polish effect on the armor is so goood

[flat fern]

[blissful gulch]

Huh. I usually go for 2-3 for more quick fights

[compact rampart]

stabbing is so damn hard

[remote crypt]

@fast bramble

[compact rampart]

even a disabled body on the ground

[flat fern]

nah

[fast bramble]

T3 for me

[fast bramble]

Willie used Explode

[compact rampart]

yes because when you go to stab something on the ground your character keeps moving for some reason the model keeps falling forward instead of staying still

if im not pressing W the legs should be locked

[languid nest]

@wind charm sorry to ping you but I just want your thoughts on my use of the camera to position my shoulders to protect myself (like in boxing)

[blissful gulch]

I just got stabbed with a sword through my gut and didn't even flinch, zero damage taken

[languid nest]

I see

[tough yew]

odd

[languid nest]

Impressive technique… I too wish to harness explosive power

[blissful gulch]

Question, do we know if this game will have co-op?

like the demo but with a friend?

[fast bramble]

Slash your sword into an enemy, then right click to half sword

[blissful gulch]

Halfsword bodycam footage

[tough yew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGromVIXt9E&ab_channel=FrankTogonidze

[blissful gulch]

I know its gonna be pvp, I mean like as a team

[languid nest]

There going to be multiplayer at some point but it’s not gonna be like server based it’s gonna be like they connect to your game

Thing

Idk

Couch

[languid nest]

Yeah split screen

[compact rampart]

idk if this game is aiming to have a goofy/comedic spin to it like the other medieval games but it would be really nice if the legs could be locked and not use the wobbly ragdolly movement. and then if you take a hit in the head or legs it activates and you start stumbling. because you can literally stand still and not press anything and your character just keeps walking forward and its really annoying

[wind charm]

You got a few good dodges in my man but remember, if they hit your arms and you run out of stam, you will lose a lot of power. My suggestion is either break off engagement and recover stam or be willing to get really good at dodging

[tough yew]

not meant to be goofy, devs want to remove all the goofiness while still giving the player control over the character

[compact rampart]

cool cus everything else is great

[languid nest]

That fight in particular was probably my longest ever. It lasted for like 5 or more minutes, so all three of us Willies were running on empty.

[compact rampart]

ill try to flesh out what i mean in feedback i guess

[remote crypt]

Its gonna be a massive adjustment

I use the jank for voids

[languid nest]

He looked like he was ready to cry after the second swing

[blissful gulch]

Although, a goofy mode would make for a great april fools update

[tough yew]

the jank will probably be filled with actual mechanics that are still undefined

[wind charm]

I feel that, here's a clip of my where I parry and dodge as example

[languid nest]

Just play the demo lo

[remote crypt]

We pray

[remote crypt]

I hope there's a leaning animation eventually

can't wait to just press a button and zoop out of the way of a diag

[hushed gale]

I thought it was meant to be goofy

[fast bramble]

Sad Willie

[tough yew]

no

[fast bramble]

They embrace the goofy that the players do, but they're taking the game seriously

[remote crypt]

Honestly I can't wait for the jank/class balance to be so damn good

[languid nest]

A lot of hand switching going on

Interesting..

[wind charm]

Wait until you see it in real life

[blissful gulch]

Is it possible to kill your allies in the 3v3 mode?

[remote crypt]

yes

I have done it

because they got in the way of me killing a dude

[blissful gulch]

So its possible to win with 5 kills

[compact rampart]

yeah u can kill your mates

[blissful gulch]

Also, my friends and I have a "gauntlet" we made for the playtest, and none of us have actually successfully beaten it

[tough yew]

weapons of mass destruction

[languid nest]

The mace is brutal

[blissful gulch]

We try to start at tier 1 and do each match type once, and move up until you win them all at each tier. I've only ever gotten to tier 4 without dying.

[compact rampart]

imagine if they added kicking

[languid nest]

They are

:3

[compact rampart]

hell yeah

[remote crypt]

yes

[remote crypt]

oh?

I'll try that tomorrow

From tier 2. I usually don't brawl

only single combat?

[blissful gulch]

I won and they posed.

[blissful gulch]

We usually do all of em, but do whatever you want.

[blissful gulch]

Fair, fair. Fist fighting will always be funny to me, especially when you get a good hit

[remote crypt]

fuck it we ball

tomorrow I'll knock it all out

but with the nuzlocke twist

if I lose once I have to restart

How many generations do you think I should have of gear?

Can only click once, twice or three?

It'd be too easy if I just got longsword the entire time

[blissful gulch]

Ah, our rules are loss = restart tier death = restart

[remote crypt]

I'll do death rules for everything

[blissful gulch]

good question, we use an autoclicker and randomly stop it, but just a few clicks would work fine if you want a challenge

[remote crypt]

I'll just use the first gen

every time

unless I get the negan bat

that's banned

[blissful gulch]

Thats a thing? what tier is that?

[remote crypt]

the bigass spike stick

tier 5 iirc

[blissful gulch]

Ohhhh, that

idk why I was expecting an actual baseball bat

[remote crypt]

lol yeah

[blissful gulch]

testing it out, I can see why

its absurdly easy to just win with

[remote crypt]

I have fun fighting it

and then posting clips of dumpstering it

cause people struggle

[blissful gulch]

I just got hugged to death

they halfsworded around me and walked backwards

anyway, its almost 2 a.m, I should probably sleep now

goodnight all of you

Damnnnn that axe is real brutal

Even on a left handed swing I felt them bitches

Willie's got some pretty amazing ambidexterity and strength tbh

If you grab right above willie's butt

Something weird happens and he might do a flip

how to do wrestling or something

Maybe lower body density

If that makes them lighter

And just grab their butt to fling them around possibly

[dawn sparrow]

if we are talking about playtest you should definitely see some @wind charm clips, he knows what he's doing with polearms, sure he will give you some advices too.
In demo you have to get used to big weight of the polearms. Can be tricky and sometimes glitchy but a bit of practice and you will catch the drill. Cool technique is to release right click midswing for powerful attack like that one, you can immediately come back to right click stance too. see what happens to the hands, easier to show than explain:

[jolly gorge]

oh my

playtest doesnt have that right click trick :(

[wind charm]

https://youtu.be/6V_iqsgBOtw?si=8qP_dL6Un-olRcO9
Parry everything, let nothing touch you

[dawn sparrow]

sadly no, also no spear lunges. I love the demo because of the wonky fighting style that I've mastered

[wind charm]

I will be making Polearm tutorial soon...

[jolly gorge]

i see a lot of rapid hand switching in the video, maybe thats the trick to it

very skilled plays 👍 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wind charm]

Pressing X is only as good as you make it, you need to time it right and know where it should in the engagement

[lavish haven]

Is the double right click to thrust actually a thing? Doesn’t seem to work

[dawn sparrow]

you have to hold the click

but pressing left alt and using your mouse is more effective

[dawn sparrow]

ah, right click. nah, it's alt stance, won't do much of stabbing thing

[jolly gorge]

double right click unarmed gives you a nice looking punch but i doubt it's any powerful

especially compared to the fist of the north star punch spam

[junior epoch]

is it just me

or do i never see npc's with armet helmets

[crude flower]

Double left click

At least it is for me

[junior epoch]

just hold alt

and aim

its easier

[crude flower]

Possibly

I do feel like it's nice to keep them at bay though with double click

[crude flower]

Small stab out there even if it doesn't land might back them up a bit

[junior epoch]

no its really useful for daggers

i can 1v4 brave stand with just a dagger

[crude flower]

I mean yeah you can run at them which is good

[junior epoch]

anyone else think this tho?
