So, I've got in the dozens of hours of play testing and video watching. I noticed, that despite being effective, Stepping into your strikes isn't a thing oin vids? Unless it's a hema move vid at least

I did fencing in undergrad so I innately know to beat a blade then strke while avoiding the weapon

it was a backstab 😭

#

And yes that's hella sick

ancient solstice
#

yes stepping back and going forward into your hits is the move

lunar goblet
#

Foot work matters a lot

ancient solstice
#

"move like water"

lunar goblet
#

Side stepping to put enemies off line with you works really well also

signal vale
#

I saw that a lot

#

in my bouts

lunar goblet
#

Hold any two-handed sword out in stab mode, then when an attack comes in step to the side it isn't guarding

#

You'll block and then can go for your actual thrust

lunar goblet

#

Far smoother than most of what I pull off

https:// www.youtube .com/ mrzacnono does a good job showcasing that weapon

#

And he's in this server lol

lunar goblet
#

In generally just remember unlike most games, you don't have any active or inactive frames, if weapon bonks weapon bonks

There's a really nasty one-two combo with poleaxes too

#

I find myself interrupting attacks that wind up, like the falchion and dagger forehand swing, I'll get undeneath the right arm with either my own backhand swing or left hand forehand swing

#

I'M NOT gonna be able to pull that off rn gang 😭

lunar goblet
#

Yeah, the lines you have to swing some weapons are definitely a bit wonky, sometimes there's ways around them

#

I definitely do not pull moves off every attempt lol

#

Something I've been doing all night since I saw a vid of it this mourning is doing zero to heroes, starting with boxing and going up in ascending order as you win, never rerolling characters, and resetting on loss

Really good for practicing various armors and weapons, you might find you like some more than you knew with a bit of use

I've since learned the kickboxing meta :v

I bet there is lmao

thats why i came here lmfao

lunar goblet
#

Interesting to have around, but idk, I don't really like how the game plays when rushing

halcyon hedge
#

fair

#

i mainly stick to the farmer class runs, not for speed, but how many kills in a row you can get with a certain weapon

lunar goblet
#

See my problem is I like all of the armor classes lmao

#

That's why I've continued doing the zero to hero thing since

wispy ermine
#

I enjoy hovering t5 - t6 armor, fighting t6 -t7. Makes things a little spicy but balances out my unending love of the Greatsword that Militus got me into

I've only done that on complete accident lol

I genuinely believe it's the auto guard, tried for a couple hours afterwards to do it again but no dice so far

Them high velocity kicks go crazy

#

You can also basically always win boxing by just starting with a vanilla sprint kick

Also works well if you have a shield

kicking breaks my legs

halcyon hedge
#

BRO THE PITCHFORK WILLIES ARE SO AGGRAVATING

lunar goblet
#

yeah, any kind of spear is fucking deadly lol

lunar goblet
#

So if you hold a good chopper at ready and just bash into them, you often just turn it into an automatic combo

halcyon hedge
#

huh, interesting. Thank you!

lunar goblet
#

Not a problem

#

It seems better the "bouncier" your weapon is, but I'm not 100% certain

#

I've just noticed it from doing sprinting kicks with the lighter armors

#

https://streamable.com/kcb6x9

I really like most of the weapon in the game in their own ways, but man, it's hard to beat two-handed sword in medium armor for feeling good

#

Feels like of all the animations, they currently have the smoothest animations

halcyon hedge
#

two handed weapons do feel better tbf

lunar goblet

Most one handed weapons def feel floppy

Have you discovered the light that is m00vement yet? ;) Hand swaps make those brutal

Not familar with the term

wispy ermine

Oh, that's because I'm absolutely forcing it lol. M00 showed me how to flourish with 2hs a while back so I've insisted upon the tech being referred to as such

#

haven't messed in a bit, habe old clip of it

#

basically, pull a strike back and up, swap hands, and strike downwards as you carry the momentum

halcyon hedge

whoa

Hmm, interesting

wispy ermine

you can also go staight up, straight down to get some less arc'd strikes but maintain the momentum

Pitcher fork is really dangerous to engage, but when you get past the end you're golden

i usually just slap the pitchfork away and then close in

runic hollow

and im gonna assume leveling up just happens by talking in the chats i guess

nocturne kraken

but what annoys me more about the pitchfork is it somehow can instant knock you out if the stick hits your head slightly lol

that has happened too many times

and sometimes for some reason you just get smacked away by a weak 1h swing with the force of god

early access

runic hollow

ohhhh

#

right

#

well i'll be exited to see what that'll be like, i know the game still has so much further to go before FULL release given it's barely even in an actually early access but i'm exited to see what the full game will look like when it comes out

void orbit
#

Just checking in, is the plan downline to ever add pvp?

runic hollow
#

like online pvp to fight players?

#

yeah maybe

#

cuz it's not confirmed but they'll test it and try it but it's VERY unlikely. And still unlikely but we could get a local multiplayer

#

to fight friends and that

runic hollow
#

because the balencing and the amount of reworking you'd have to do to get a multiplayer pvp, crossplatform or anything like more than 1v1 it would be very hard

lunar goblet

i have a good understanding on what you can do in this game but idk how the hell ppl are finding new ways to stab

wispy ermine
wispy ermine
#

I have way too many clips lmao

lunar goblet
#

Ive actually done that one, it's a bit weird

runic hollow
#

is it hold right click, alt stab but press q?

wispy ermine
#

hold left + right click, rotate to left and let go of right click right after. alt is optional but extends the range a bit more

lunar goblet
lethal crag

does anyone know if this is something like, "unlockable"?

idk i'll try it again and see which shield was it, it might've just been a one off glitch

you probably bumped into it

didnt look like it tho

any touch from any weapon

will probably do damage

how do i kick?

I did my first parry kill 😄 brought the sword up to deflect, used the back momentum to swing down and up into the armpit, down willy went

thorny perch

#

thank you

wispy ermine
steady spruce
#

I still need to get good at swing control, and not doing broad movements with my mouse

wispy ermine
#

Ye, there's a good bit of a learning curve. big moves have their place but can definitely put you in a bad spot fast haha

steady spruce
#

I use them too much, because the light attacks feel like they have no power. and I like playing armor vs armored because I can practice without instant death

runic hollow
steady spruce
#

beyond stabbing, I'm unsure how. and I can't really get my stabs to connect. I do go for the legs, or at least try.

wispy ermine
lunar goblet
wispy ermine
steady spruce
#

I'm full armor vs full armor at the moment. usually I end up knocking them down and forcing them to surrender, as I am using a longsword

lunar goblet
#

Usually the best method,but you can get in gasp sometimes

steady spruce
wispy ermine
#

Halfsword hugging is also pretty effective if you can hook them in the transition, then saw like a mf while backstepping and kicking. pretty much ensures an owie

steady spruce
#

oh, really hard to replicate, but I think I just did a combo while swinging in the air, flicked my sword to the left like a parry, pulled it back to the right, back and into a thrust.

lunar goblet
thorny perch
lunar goblet
#

Brother, thrust is is literally the most common attack from half sword

thorny perch

Something like this

wispy ermine
thorny perch
#

What this guy did

steady spruce
#

Oh that is a BRUTAL stab

lunar goblet
steady spruce
#

a bit hard to do the stab consistently though, I keep curving the stab into a one handed swing

lunar goblet
#

Yeah the timing is pretty tight

wispy ermine
steady spruce
#

I like to parry a lot tbh, and do strong strikes, so this definitely works for me

wispy ermine

It can set up some scary fast swipes too

No more face

real berry
#

i hate the stab from the torso so fucking bad

#

it is the most useless attack in the game

#

it cant even generate enough force to cut their shirt and yet my character refuses to pull the knife to the side and do an actually useful attack

https://streamable.com/2h62vs

Rough example here, you want to transition between your attack, you should really be taking time to "set up" your next attack unless you've backed off from the enemy

wispy ermine
#

sounds like he's referring to 1h

lunar goblet
#

Ah, that middle stab is actually useful when you grapple with your offhand

#

get in close grab and arm to stap them from using their pole, then just start sticking them

real berry
#

i need to see if it works

#

because no matter how far i pull my hand right it will just gravitate towards his stomach

#

i am literally bringing my mouse to the end of my desk in knife fights trying to fight my character from sucking his knife into his stomach and letting loose an absolute waste of energy

#

i get an average of 4 successful knife throws and 7 thousand stomach pats with my handle

wispy ermine
#

I'm trash at knife fights, but it can be done. I've noticed it'll lock in a pose if you dont give it a lil shimmy in each position as well. kinda janky but doable

#

alt held throughout

real berry
#

we're gonna need a knife rework

#

with an icepick grip preferably

wispy ermine
#

how far do you space when trying to poke homies? you need a lil bit more space than one would think to generate enough power to penetrate as well

real berry
#

like at least an arms reach

#

i try to maintain that but the enemies always want to kiss me and my character has drift back and to the left

wispy ermine
#

Should be good that way. Idk man, I swing my big sticks and I don't have much issue.

#

And I'm on lowered willie damage as well, just for reference

real berry
#

i love big sticks

#

they actually work

wispy ermine

Oooh, new accidental discovery for you. right clicking and trying to stab, I cant even get that center stab stance, it's just either side

You should try out shields

They're not like, better. But they are interesting

wispy ermine
#

I try to be decently rounded in my abilities tbh, everything looked too much fun on a mechanical level to not dabble

lunar goblet
#

Same problem I have

wispy ermine
#

Only pain point I have are the great hammers, but even then there are.... tactics. ;)

glass raptor
#

Wooo I found a new bug

soft solstice
#

okay so the damage sliders : as you turn the damage slider down it makes bladed weapons more deadly. as you turn the sliders up it makes blunt weapons more deadly

#

the sweet spot seems to be very close to the "default" setting

#

but playing with the damage slider at max is a ton of fun

glass raptor
#

If you win a battle but then manage to knock yourself unconscious as you're holding G to win, the next match will be frozen and you have to quit the game manually

real berry
#

what a weird specific bug

glass raptor
#

but yea apparently after you defeat your opponent you can simultaneously win and knock yourself out and that breaks the game

lunar goblet

#

Does anyone know if enemy teams fighting each other in small buhurt and brave stand is a common issue? Or is it just one I have often?

wispy ermine
#

and crouching imparts even MORE womp. I shouldn't be surprised, I'm always the one harping on not defining a key to just the function it's named.

I mean, I'd fuck right off into the stratosphere getting spiky pegged too

#

I'm kind of not a fan of polearms. at least with the swords I can occasionally get into a weak point and slice knight willy up. but I just can't seem to do anything at all with a halberd.

#

I'm still struggling to have any oomph in the swings of some weapons. It's like that weird feeling where you are trying to fight something in a dream, but all you same to do is lightly pat them in the face and mildly agitate them

wild oyster
lunar goblet
#

I assure you the polearms can hit weakpoints well, they just handle differently

#

The biggest thing for halberd chops is that you space well, and get your tip up to speed before it hit

#

If you cant do that, go for half sword, a kick, drop it and draw a backup

ocean kite
#

everyone shits on the mace, but the impact force is no joke

#

sorta dumb that it's more than the polehammers tho

ocean kite
#

unless you manage to snag somewhere with the spike atleast

cinder stone
ocean kite
# wispy ermine same energy, just less energy

if you want to add energy I recommend stabbing with the grip end of the polearm and leaving it in for a second, there's a fun bug that happens when you grab it again and the hammer snaps back into your hands

lunar goblet
ocean kite
#

but it is a nice finisher if you manage to throw them to the ground first

lunar goblet
#

Its more that blunt is pretty iffy when non blunt weapons can already give decent impact, especially axes

#

I tend to like throwing out a mace, then just deck them with my shield

ancient solstice
#

anyone have links for like world record run info and stuff

cinder stone
ocean kite
#

Axes control just like swords, it's weird

#

the weight feels somewhere between a mace and a sword

ancient solstice
#

i think my lock on strength is above default but i dont think i changed it

#

is it slightly higher than the other 2 settings by default?

lunar goblet

#

yeah

I notice that when I have polearms Willie just immediately charges in and starts spam stabbing me.

that's the AI at work

#

willie knows to take advantage of your effective range

steady spruce
#

can't say I blame it. it is a bit annoying that they only have to tap me with their weapon and I fall apart. meanwhile I have to swing really hard to seemingly do anything to them. I think I'm just going to stick with swords and get good at those.

may be stupid question, but do you reckon multiplayer would be in discussion

ancient solstice
#

can anyone send a screenshot of their settings in photography

ocean kite
#

also, when they get too close I recommend hitting them while halfswording, it pulls the blade in closer and gives you more force behind it

ocean kite
#

were you thinking of different settings?

ancient solstice
#

oh ok i think the strength is slightly to the right by default

ocean kite
#

I have tweaked mine previously, so they're probably not at exact starting values, but I do remember both damage settings being slightly lower than the lock on strength settings when I started out

meh, it was funnier to knock him out with the helmet

and leave him with the mother of all face bruises

ocean kite
#

nvm, you did

#

it's better if he's running too

cinder stone
#

but then I'm a weirdo who almost always spares his opponents because it's funnier to see them cartwheel from a direct mace hit and then wake up seconds later going "NOOOOooo!"

#

the only ones who die are the ones who got something embedded in them during regular combat or the ones who pissed me off by doing something dumb like grabbing me

languid nest
ocean kite
#

for that satisfaction

cinder stone
#

I generally try and end fights as quickly as possible

it's pretty simple maths: the longer a fight goes on, the higher your chances of dying gets

ocean kite
#

Same for the most part, unless I'm practicing punches and really enjoying watching willie flailing his shattered arms about

#

Then I'll typically keep aiming for the arms just so I can keep getting the satisfying bloodsplatter without knocking him out

ngl this scares me in a primal way that I don't like

grabbing a weapon after impalement is a must

I've noticed in the latest playtest that weapons phase through bodies harmlessly a whole lot more than before

Yeah, probably because of the dynamic slicing

Getting torso decaps always feels weird

its pretty niche

The game already blew up

#

Unlike other games, we have a demo and a Playtest publicly available

but the streamers that play it are just playing it for laughs and giggles. where the game is SUPPER complex

besides, the later builds aren't as goofy looking as the early builds

restive garnet
#

We are getting loads of free publicity

ocean kite
restive garnet
#

We haven't started marketing yet

unborn gyro
#

i hope the developers treat the game like the developers of hellish quart

restive garnet
#

So we aren't worried

restive garnet
#

floral gorge

Body density and bone snapping go hand in hand, if your body density is high then you wont be able to hit bone as often.

wth is a modular weapon?

idle crane
# scenic isle wth is a modular weapon?

Most of the weapons are made of different modules. For example a sword is made of a blade, a cross guard, a grip and a pommel. There are lots of different versions of these which get randomly combined to make a weapon

wind charm
#

Here's my daily clip, I'm going back to play Palworld now.

btw why is it that half of the time when i try to spawn a weapon with QoL half sword nothing spawns?

i hate you guys

squid games actually peak so far

#

@grand swan

grand swan
#

so eventually?

gaunt sapphire
#

same as multiplayer, maybe

grand swan
#

multiplayer would be actually so cool for this game

#

would be kinda hard with ping though

gaunt sapphire
#

imagine training hema at home in vr

grand swan
#

since movements are pretty precise in this game

#

why does this game actually have one of the best human gore sytems ive seen so far

gaunt sapphire

They might have disabled that

Didn't show up in the search bar, so i just assumed it wasn't an option, guess it works though.

grand swan
#

how long is the current play test open for

idle crane
#

Until it's not 🤷‍♂️

soft osprey
#

Well

#

Id imagine they do

winter wasp
#

4 Vers of Half-Sword before full release is epic either way.

#

If the playtest gets removed then i guess whoever still has it, can show it off as a sort of collector's item

grand swan
#

whats the diference between cinematic and epic graphics

#

why the big fps drop

#

i get 100 fps on epic and like 20 on cinematic

winter wasp
#

Cinematic is meant more for photos

#

Not so much as a playable on graphical setting

grand swan
#

that makes sense

tall dagger

#

They coated it with cyanide

supple shard
#

why is there a game demo and a playtest\

#

im immeddiately choosing the most violent setting

tall dagger

because the playtest is a better representation of the soon to be early access

does it cost money

i think the end game goal for this game is to have multiplayer 1v1s in VR

winter wasp

#

we really do need a vr sword fighting multiplayer game

unique lark
#

it's gonna take 10 years but im down

tall dagger
#

the closest thing we have is that sword fighting game on the Wii U

winter wasp
#

Blade and Sorcery is one

tall dagger
#

theres no real multiplayer

winter wasp
#

Oh?

#

That i did not know, not really into VR games

west comet
#

probably cheaper to get HEMA gear then a good vr setup

tall dagger
#

only garbage modded port multiplayer

unique lark
winter wasp
#

Rip.

unique lark
#

if you can even get a HEMA club in your city, it's a subscription of 40 dollars and up every month, and after a time, you're gonna want to get your own gear which will total up to thousands of dollars

#

idk how long you can leech of borrowing gear

tall dagger
#

and the quest 3 is actually really nice

unique lark
#

i mean people pay for netflix for some reason so this type of subscription wouldn't be crazy

unique lark
#

and the only one in my city

#

the other fencing one was like 170 dollars for 3 lessons

#

not even a full month

thorny perch
#

Damn

unique lark
#

once i have a job though i might just do it

#

you get really good exercise

west comet
#

well, in my country things like phones, GPUs, consoles and other electronics are quite expensive but maybe i should've guessed it was different in the US

unique lark
#

if you think about it, you're paying 40 bucks for future health insurance by exercising

winter wasp
#

Exercise, Entertainment, Neat Skill, Hobby, Sick Gear.

#

No wonder some people say it's life

unique lark
#

yea

#

but i wouldn't get my own gear

#

its really expensive

west comet
#

plus, if you are a big history nerd you get to experience what you study

unique lark
#

a fencing mask is literally steel mesh bound together by welding, the cheapest usable one you can get is 70 dollars

#

maybe i can go there and buy off old gear

#

it could be the strat

#

for now i've done swordfighting with my friends

you need to get full face coverage otherwise you might hit them in the face (i cheap out and can't get a durable face covering)

hey guys, when i get into about 10 - 15 battles my character and the npc characters legs start to go funny and its causing me to die or make it seem like a cheat win when i have to kill an npc that tripped over. does anyone else have this? if so is there a fix? it works to restart the game but id like to get into the higher level rounds and not be tripping all over the arena

there should be a non-vertical autoaim that only rotates the camera horizontally

It's got the same mechanics and stuff as a Goedendag, yet when i try, i cannot use it like one, because of the weight and other factors.
