Just killed a guy with the same loadout as him

i will assume time controller just modifies delta time which should compenstate any physics change output
gaunt sapphire
any gamer who uses slo mo must not complain if cursed things happen
it happens without time controller too
i have not seen a single issue with time controller
idle crane
it happens 1:1 without time controller therefore no
Franky himself has said the slow mo effects the physics. Which is why it currently isn't in the game because they need to find a work around before they can add it
gaunt sapphire
idk man i dont see how modifying delta time will actually affect affect physics

im slowly reducing the amount of armor i have on
i wanna see if i can get myself to be able to beat knights without any armor on

knowing that each swing could easily kill you makes keeping distance much more important

Adapt a poke and prod strategy. Go for discombobulating shots and knockdowns
Mobility is king with mismatched armour.
timid imp
yeah that is what im doin
atleast that is what im trying to do
im not doing great though
lost almost all of these fights cause i forget that i have the longer sword and should just stay back
remote crypt
Also. If you can
Try to pick at their feet
Even a superficial foot cut will screw up their balance.
remote crypt
Consistent backsteps. If my rythm isnt broken its always step back and away from strike
Then step in and towards my own
You want your blade to be in between you and theirs. Even if they miss it opens up counterplay
Here's an example of what I mean
Lemme boot and load a no armour build to demonstrate poke+prod+distance
timid imp
i did it
i thinks i did it
i didn't record it but i kept backing up and waited for him to swing
once he did i caught it with my sword and push his hand up and then wacked him in the head and knocked him down, i then rushed him and accidentally took his face off trying to make him surrender

how to undress?
i just have a few custom loadouts
pearl burrow
so how can i make em
remote crypt
like this?
its loading
timid imp
you need OVRDTHs selector on nexus and the trainer mod, i forgot where that one is but there are guides for both so you should be able to find it. use trainer mod to spawn in the armor/clothes/weapons you want and equip, once you got them on press ctrl L and then save in in OVRDTHs selector and you should have custom outfit
you just need to double click it in the selector so it loads
pearl burrow
oh thanks

press alt and move your mouse back to ready the thrust and forwards to actually do it

considering i die like a good 80% of the time on T7

Cinematic is mainly for taking footage and screenshots in the Unreal Engine. It's not a software optimized for gaming, but rather for cinematography. Some rigs can run it while playing the game, but most can't. Especially when you have the game on dx12, it starts to activate shaders and Lumens as well.

I believe the sword does blunt damage not very much though

I had an idea for like a tournament style game mode
dapper current
in theory there wouldnt be would there? then again im not a medievil historian
dapper current
how it feels the day after tacobell
terse sluice
Or maybe a ranking system where you play like best out of three or something and if you lose the match, you moved down the rankings and when you win matches, you move up the rankings and there’s a certain amount of matches and I’m thinking maybe if you kill someone when their surrendered you moved down the rankings as well, so you have to pay attention
And whoever holds the highest rank at the end of all the matches wins
Also, a tournament style game mode would be fun

Just like with all games, mod at your own discretion
sonic bluff
How does it play compared to a regular mouse?
it feels significantly faster and the movements feel more natural like i'm properly swinging it. It's like i can feel the weight of each swing and put more precision into them.
sonic bluff
It's as if I'm actually controlling his shoulders
It does come at the price of being annoying to swing down accurately
But I'm getting better at it

But they sucked
It was essentially a tiny canon on the end of a stick
And you basically just aimed it, and it went somewhere in their general direction and you hopefully hit something
what I mean is like you would fill it with gunpowder stick the fuse in light it aim for your target and hope for the best
chrome meteor
terse sluice
They were very inac
timid imp
and the round is soft lead so it just kinda flattens when it hits chestplate
terse sluice
Slings are very effective, but they are incredibly difficult to master
But can shoot with a LOT of force
Would be cool to see other medieval societies outside of Europe
Maybe even middle ages South America Aztechs and stuff
With that one obsidian thing
I’m not sure whether to call it a club or a sword because it is like a club with a bunch tiny pieces of obsidian
molten echo
how do I keep landing these thrusts
terse sluice
What I mean, it looks like a bunch of small blades of obsidian sandwiched between a plank of wood
Obsidan is crazy sharp
But very brittle
timid imp
honestly this game but with samurai would prolly be fun asf
terse sluice
Would you want to see that one move where they combine drawing the blade with a strike
Personally, I don’t think the katana is a very good defensive weapon
timid imp
im more into the naginata
ember crane
I have the playtest downloaded but when I see other streamers play the game they have more feautres and modes, for example i can only play two modes. One is a fist fight one vs one and a four man free for all with like three weapons. But whenver i see other people play it they have armour and more weapons
terse sluice
I’ve noticed a lot of the spears they prefer the broadhead spear as opposed to the small point because you can slash with it
I wish the Warhammers tiny sharp side would do more penetration
molten echo
I DID IT
terse sluice
Because thats how it was used it has the principle of forcing a huge amount of force on to a small space generating more force
summer brook

molten echo
I SPLIT HIS FUCKING SKULL
timid imp
i fucked up
terse sluice
I wish you could target specific body parts instead of you just hoping for the best
timid imp
you can
its just kinda hard
a lot is possible in this game already it just requires you dump basically all of your time into it to learn
terse sluice
Honestly, you were committing too much to those attacks
And not returning to your defense dance
timid imp
yep
summer brook
2 was not enough
terse sluice
fight as if every swing you take could be a potential miss or Perry
timid imp
the reason why im not using a lot of armor is to punish that behavior
so i die more often
fringe obsidian

You can
timid imp
will motivate me to take my time and not just rush
terse sluice
that way, you don’t commit too much to a strike and are slow to return to your defensive position
summer brook
third time was not the charm
terse sluice
I’m using this based on what I know about actual sword fighting
timid imp
it sorta works the amount of times i overcommit has dropped by quite a bit
terse sluice
You strike return strike return strike return
You know what i mean
Also, if you hit some more with a sword, even if they’re an armor, it’ll do some damage
How did you get your opponent to wear armor when you are not wearing armor?
summer brook
ovrdth selector mod on nexus
fringe obsidian
third time was not the charm
What are you doing
timid imp
i got my sword in the lad's forearm and it got stuck
he then fucking pommel striked me with it

What are you doing
i was cutting his head

i didnt expect this one to dismember so i didnt get it at the moment of dismemberment
worn heron
https://twitch.tv/karma926
There's no audio coming thru fyi
timid imp
You strike return strike return strike return
this one worked a bit better
towards the end i rushed in cause his dropped his sword and that arm was hurt so he wouldn't be getting another weapon out
this one went much better
molten echo
my arm may be injured but you've lost your dominant hand
summer brook
i think that is more than their hand
terse sluice
this one worked a bit better
Personally, I don’t like to leave him with the blade hanging off to the side like that
But thst was better
Although sometimes I notice other people’s mistakes, but I still make them in the fight
timid imp
its kinda hard to control greatswords
terse sluice
Honestly, the blades in this game feel very floaty
timid imp
when i put it in the middle for any amount of time it gets all floppy
and swinging is really hard
terse sluice
That’s something I don’t like that the blades are way too floppy
Like they have a bad grip
timid imp
passive parry barely works with greatswords and active parry is extremely hard (atleast for me)
terse sluice
Irl blades don’t flop that much
is there a difference between like you pushing the blade away and you holding the blade passively to interrupt their strike
Also, when I have sword, I prefer to hit people with the pummel
Thats the peace on the end that holds the hole handle assembly together
timid imp
pushing the blade away gives you time to then do an attack of your own whereas just holding the blade only stops theirs from hitting, you can still try to swing but their blade will be close meaning it will be risky
i think
maybe
molten echo
Come at me
terse sluice
A weapon that I would like to see is the sword breaker
terse sluice
The sword breaker is a dagger that specifically designed to disarm the opponent
timid imp
honestly i kinda want these lads at some point
terse sluice
It has a large hole that’s meant to catch the blade so you can wrench it out of your opponents hand
timid imp
mainly just cause of how goofy they are
terse sluice
Has anyone seen the man catcher?
jolly gorge
It has a large hole that’s meant to catch the blade so you can wrench it out of ...
i was playing the demo last night and with how many time my scythe went flying into the realm of god you'd think it was already in the game
terse sluice
Although that’s not really meant to be a lethal weapon
It would be cool to see more medieval fighting sports
Like wrestling
The goal was to knock the opponent down with grappling
Punching and kicking isn’t allowed
I feel like people will come up with their own custom stuff too like imagine full plate unarmed fighting
wheat fossil
honestly i kinda want these lads at some point
I NEED IT

saving loadouts the game already creates and loading them
you can also use the trainer mod to make custom ones
and save them in OVRDTH's mod

Absolutely no
vapid hull

So you have about two main stances
When you drag a little to the left/right, you‘ll hold a more forward guard, but once you fully go that direction, you‘ll hold your sword more in a straight vertical guard
timid imp
Watch OVRDTH‘s videos about it for more than that
i've watched his videso before
im not sure if its the cadence he speaks with but like i cannot retain a single thing he says
vapid hull

timid imp
his footwork video did help me a bit though
sonic bluff
welp that was a fun stream
molten echo
didnt stand a chance
vapid hull
A lot of it is honestly just reading where the opponent will be, like for example the placon has a pretty bad range of motion, so seeing them wind back behind their shoulder means you hold your sword about here to block it
vapid hull

Its just estimating where your enemy will hit, and putting your sword between you and that arc
timid imp
yeah
tbh i think a greatsword prolly isn't the best weapon for me to be using
its weight means my reactions have to be much faster and i haven't gotten that skill yet
vapid hull
didnt stand a chance
I would imagine seeing as you‘re armored and he isn‘t
