I don't think a lot of people understand that halfsword is focused in South Germany in the 15th century, so primarily stuff of European origin is what we will be seeing

I think you have to switch hands while only your bottom hand is holding the polearm, could be wrong. Just going off this video where I did it on accident

swap hands, roughly a second later click right click, weapon should slide out like your hands are oiled up. to call back, click right click again. gets harder to do the more you do it in a round tho

# dense pond Like this

There is already zweihanders in the game however they are an early form without the parierhaken or the flamberged blade

tired tapir
#

Wait are Billhooks and Guisarmes the same

tender quest
#

a guisarme is a variant of the billhook, since alot of weapons back then were just repurposed farming tools

idle crane
#

My favourite aesthetic is repurposed farm tools that absolutely murder froggoblush

wispy ermine
# tired tapir Wait are Billhooks and Guisarmes the same

"Eventually weapon makers incorporated the usefulness of the hook in a variety of different polearms, and guisarme became a catch-all for any weapon that included a hook on the blade. This is exemplified by the terms bill-guisarmes, voulge-guisarmes, and glaive-guisarmes." copypastad from the wiki so take with many sodium

molten galleon
#

So you guys think they will add sharpy sharp stabby stab weapon in the game

tender quest
#

a blacksmith could take a already made hammer used for blacksmithing, elongate the end into a point and then you have a crowsbeak warhammer

molten galleon
idle crane
wispy ermine

So under that methodology, all billhooks would be a guisarme but not all guisarmes would be a billhook. yafeelme?

I swear you can just win by walking into your opponent sometimes

crude flower
oblique flint
#

because of how jank thrusting is I can't effectively aim for and hit jointswillius

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

it works better holding around the hips

from what I've experimented with

ebon ermine
cinder stone
#

you can do it with one arm

but you can't really do it by holding an extremity so you're left with the center of mass and maybe holding on to one upper leg with both hands

I've been throwing with daggers, usually miss but can disorient an enemy if it hits, bonus points if the bladed portion is the one to make contact as opposed to the pommel.

like fighting them? or people that use shields?

I dont really have a problem fighting them because the approach it usually the same, but sometimes they have moments where they seem to block everything

any tips for fighting weapon+ shield?

#

in my experience all of them feel terribly, besides the bucklet which you cn use to bludgen someone

dense pond
#

Kick

solid topaz
silk cairn
#

2h swords and axes feel almost impossible to fight

thorny perch

#

It allows for more active protection

silk cairn
#

with a medium sized shield, a vertical or horizontal cut would still shop through my neck or shoulder, while they still rush me while halfsword and sometimes just cut my head clean off. if were in a clench position, and the aiswitches to half sword, magically the sword jumps through my body / shoulder/ neck to end up in teh correct position, cutting me in the process

#

so i cant block a hit then close the distance safely, if i close distances im not safe either, and i just have a much worse weapon than them

#

i have to land 3-4 clean hits to the head for them to go down, while 1 good hit is enough for a sword or axe to end the fight

#

holding shield up means its not possible to swing the weapon effectively

#

willie holds th shield half way up while m1 i engaged. dynamically blocking and switching mouse buttons to block then swing doesnt work well either because you have to do a lot of very precise movements in quick succession, to first raise the shield to the correct position, dfelct the blow, change mouse button, wind up a swing with right hand, and land a clean hit

#

and ocne again, a mace requires 3-4 good hits to teh head to down an enemy

#

in a helmet. im fighitng at armor level 6

tropic palm
#

Man I'm still having a blast lmao. My one complaint so far is only that I can tell it's UE5 by the fps but it's acceptable still

limber nymph
#

@silk cairn can I call you? (I don't have streaming perms)

silk cairn
#

a large shield is a different story, the enemy cant hit me, but i cant swing it effectievly, and its completely either or whether i block or swing

#

lso the ai still jsut rushes you and pushes you over very easily because due to hiher equipment weight you tire faster

#

fights with shields jsut way too long if you have a mace

You're right

oblique flint

They should add this

sage vigil
#

what if

#

they added crosbows

#

may be op or usless
depending on how it's aimed

oblique flint
#

Useless against full armor unless they implement projectile splintering
Splinters molesting ur eye upon impacting the visor would go hard

#

Otherwise unless aiming would be made super refined (its janky w/ thrusting) then hitting targets like the inner elbow or armpit is gonna be hardddd

This game is amazing

I just started using a technique where you, in full platemail, let the enemy come to you, and then raise your sword in a sort of half-sword position but up, and bring your arms and sword down behind their head. Then you just sawblade the shit out of them until their back or neck is cut.

Idk if there's a real world name for it or a local name for it
