ive come to make an announcement

mortal sonnet
#

multiplayer in physics heavy games vs animation heavy games is hugely different apparently. Supposedly the connection has to be orders of magnitude more robust and some methods of doing that are very expensive or pose serious security vulnerabilities. ig it's the reason why games like exanima still don't have online multiplayer

#

hotel what do you think about this shield ?

north vapor
#

Personally I don’t use shields, I’m more a fan of long swords, but when I do use them I typically go for either the buckle or punch shield when applicable

timid imp
#

i always kinda looked down on them but they are insanely useful

north vapor
#

Aye I agree, they’re most certainly useful, but I’ve gotten better at parrying and blocking with just one weapon, however I will indulge in a bit of bloody shield to hand combat

mortal sonnet
timid imp
#

i think if i had gauntlets and maybe some shoulder protection this would be absolutely busted

#

cause like the only part of me that gets hit is my hands and sometimes shoulder

mortal sonnet
timid imp
#

for the pole hammer lad you showed off in vc

#

the method i use rn is to just keep saving over and over again with different pants until i get right colors

#

and then deleting the ones i dont want

mortal sonnet
timid imp
#

i think i might try to get brute force staying blue and getting some shoulder armor and gauntlets

#

i wanna see how op it becomes

#

cause like the only areas of me that can get hit are my shoulders and hands, sometimes head so i might need a helmet also

remote crypt

So what's with in the controls menu the x2 RMB for thrust when it seems to do nothing

timid imp
worn heron
#

Here's this

lean nicheBOT
#

When stabbing with alt (with swords), pull your weapon in closer to your body as opposed to extending your elbow out. It's much more accurate and stable.

Alternatively If it's a two handed weapon it is recommended to hold right click first, then drag your mouse to aim the weapon. Then from there double click and hold left mouse (you can try alt a little as well but clicking is more stable)
This is a much more stable and accurate stabbing pose, and a proper halfsword thrusting stance.

To practice your aiming, there's two different ways you can keep your FOV.
Third Person- with Low FOV, so you get a closer view.
or alternatively;
First Person- with High FOV, so you get a wide view of your weapon and it's positioning.
-# note, this works best for polearms or two handed swords

would love to see a hand cannon in this game (like how kingdom come deliverance 2 did it) i think it would work if it locked onto your enemy instead of having to aim it though. (this has probably been suggested many times, that’s why im not putting it in the suggestions channel.)

it depends from person to person's understanding and learning capability but i'd say im pretty gifted

Ok so I've literally a "lore" for the game thanks to my playthroughs

The main two houses are the Longswords and the Spikes. The Longswords notoriously use the longsword, while the spikes use that pike with a shitton of spikes or nails or whatever. These two houses hate each other, but are otherwise extremely honorable fighters, knights and nobles. Thus comes the tournament, and the 'rules' in this lore are pretty simple:

The player either plays a Longsword {using a longsword} or a Spike {using that spikey monstrosity}

When they fight, they can not hurt a surrendering opponent, and should try to cease fighting when possible. HOWEVER
IF ITS THEIR RIVAL HOUSE
Even if they surrender, the game doesn't end either until the Spikes detach some limb, or the longsword decapitates the Spike

Total war

Why have one weapon when you can have two!

severe trench

#

to be fair i was streaming my half sword to a friend AND watching his stream so that probably put a bit of strain on my pc, wasnt actually that laggy while i was playing

severe trench
#

if u did the slow-mo thru medal its just slowing down the fps

wooden socket
#

i did the slowmo via medal yes

severe trench
#

obv gonna be hard to make a solid slow mo clip w/o recording at a super high fps thats not super noticable unless u slow it down

tender quest
severe trench
#

but youtubers like ovrdth who get those sexy clips with slowmo in post probably record at like 144 if not more

wooden socket
#

i wonder how i can raise my fps or even see my fps because i should in theory be able to run at 144fps max because my monitor is 144Hz

severe trench
#

medal is pretty convenient but it compresses clips quite a bit and its not ideal

tender quest
severe trench
#

if u have a nvidia gpu u can use shadowplay

#

personally i set up obs to have a replay buffer that way i can easily keep stuff like youtube audio out of the recordings even tho ill never use them for anything

void hornet
#

whats the r key's purpose ?

wooden socket
#

i have an nvidia gpu yeah, 1070 tho so it isnt the greatest by any means (tbf this pc was built in like 2018 so)

severe trench
#

only concern w stuff like shadowplay is that it locally stores the clips so if you don't have a lot of storage u may run into trouble down the line

wooden socket
#

can i not change the directory for the clips

severe trench
#

you can

#

its pretty intuitive to use not quite on the same convenience level as medal but its fs more powerful

little verge
wooden socket
severe trench
#

if its just the clips that are coming out like that and not the gameplay its probably medal being fucky tbh

not necessarily a bad thing but if its causing your pc to throttle or wtv can hinder performance in other applications

tender quest

#

if u have the storage to use something other than medal and are confident in your ability to do some stuff w software settings id advocate for that

#

v worthwhile in my experience but in all fairness i havent used medal since like 2020 and im not sure if its improved

You know rat the alt stance for swords works really well against shielfs

wym?

#

what is " sword and board"

#

or what would be the most efficient way to use sword and buckler? playing around passive parry still? do I try and swing with the sword and shield at the same time?

i have dabbled it sword and buckler a bit but im still learning, from what i've experienced the guards shown in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM-CVWhvdOk this video are pretty good most of the time

i guess the thihng im struggling with most is mouse movements. do i hold left AND right slick for these? When i swing do i release right click or not

timid imp
unkempt grail
#

cause like in this video he has his shield held straight out, but I cant seem to get it like that

timid imp
#

you just hold right mouse button and it should go out gimme a sec to remember

#

gonna go play with bucklers rq to try to get my memory going

#

hold your buckler out and wait for them to strike, once their strike and are recovering it try to lunge forwards and put a hit or two

#

if they dont die after two retreat because it is not worth taking the chance

#

but just holding the right mouse button until the hit, and then switching to left mouse button to swing like you normally do

#

also hold shift all the time to move quicker

unkempt grail
#

appreciate it big dog

timid imp
#

i might go back to buckler and arming sword

unkempt grail
#

it just feels like they recover so fast for me

#

perhaps i jsut need to practice is all

timid imp
#

sometimes they do, just practice a bit and eventually you will be able to kinda just know when you have a chance

#

it goes from being like an active decision in your mind to just being instinct after a bit

#

being able to spot an opportunity i mean

#

only a minor cut on the foot and hand though so not that bad

what are the Damage to Player / NPC levels for?

tiny sand
#

Mollywopping willie

north vapor
#

Depends, you wanna be semi-invulnerable (more than one limb being cut off makes it significantly harder to kill or uncon), if you want to make fights last longer or quicker, or if you’re a masochist and want the chance for a feather to kill you

tiny sand
#

And making sure he doesn't mollywop you

tulip spire
#

i like lowering the player damage but not the npc damage so i get to feel like some kinda revenant

north vapor
#

I prefer having equal levels on the slider otherwise I feel bad

crude flower
#

Semi invulnerable is sorta not true except for simple slashes

#

Any stab/upper torso grab by a billhook or whatever is pretty much still insta death

tulip spire
#

bludgeoning, slashing, and stabbing to non-vital areas will basically do nothing to you

#

so it's pretty much true

#

don't downplay my boi immortality like that

is there a way to unbalance the match? such as fighting as a full armor against a "peasant"
