Why is it so dark

[true zealot]

somebody turned the lights out

[minor jacinth]

lowkey I gotta get some new pics

I post em slowly in #photography📷

I’ve got a few in the chamber

I’ve got more in stock

But lately it’s been a lot of the same, compositionally

I need something fresh, exciting!

[river kestrel]

Y'all why do I keep getting a fatal error every time I try to load in

[true zealot]

this mf having his final moments right now

[mortal sonnet]

If it were brightened up a bit it would be sick

[minor jacinth]

I implore you all to stop going crazy with the filters

[minor jacinth]

that’s better

[true zealot]

[soft osprey]

Are you running halfsword in dx12?

[true zealot]

t-rex willie

[fickle echo]

[true zealot]

Willie is going to wear a carpet

[minor jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/feeling-tasty-taste-gif-25488955

[river kestrel]

Yeah

[mortal sonnet]

Do you know anything about the instantly losing a match glitch? I keep seeing a few people complain about it but I’ve never seen it. Is there a fix you know of?

[soft osprey]

That’s your issue

[timid imp]

hotel i got a nice throat tear : D

[soft osprey]

Right click halfsword playtest in your steam library, press properties. Under General there’s a line for Launch Options. Type in: -dx11

[soft osprey]

Meant to reply

[river kestrel]

I see

[soft osprey]

Not that I know of unfortunately

[pale marsh]

when ak47 update

[river kestrel]

Lemme try

[true zealot]

4 hours

[river kestrel]

I’m in

[cedar garden]

the devs adding height and weight custimization is always a bad idea

customization

idk

but its gonna end badly

[soft osprey]

How so?

[cedar garden]

its like nba 2k, people are always gonna crank out "meta" builds and make things unbalanced

[soft osprey]

It’s a pve game lol

I don’t think meta will matter much

[cedar garden]

not untill they add pvp

[soft osprey]

You should read the #faq

[cedar garden]

its gonna come out in like 4 years

so my argument is gonna solidify after 4 years 😎

[soft osprey]

Online Multiplayer isn’t confirmed to be coming at all, just a possibility. Split screen is confirmed at least, but meta hardly matters if you’re playing with your friend on one screen. In that case just, agree not to change the height/weight.

[cedar garden]

ever heard of bloody bastards? actually good mobile game, its like halfsword but 2d and pixel style, it has height and weight customization and shits not fun

[soft osprey]

No I haven’t unfortunately

[cedar garden]

everyones got those friends who dont value rules

[soft osprey]

Beat the values into them

[cedar garden]

its fun untill you face a level 1299 who is half naked and scythes your hp away in 3 seconds

with dual sickles

against a dude who has a full set o armor

[cedar garden]

like my dad always does...

(no me dad doesnt beat me to a pulp dont call le cops ples)

[cedar garden]

sallets are overratee

[limpid jungle]

@little verge i think you should make a function where you could flip a knife around and hold it like in brixton so you can stab people easier

[cedar garden]

REVERSE GRIP?????

[limpid jungle]

YES

[waxen herald]

they barely work nothing about them really works 💔

[cedar garden]

GET OUT

[limpid jungle]

why?

[cedar garden]

SACRILEGE

[cedar garden]

its sacrilege against wielding a sword

nothing abt them works

realistically

HEMA fencers tried it its shite

[limpid jungle]

what does even means sacrilege

[potent geyser]

he said knife but yes

[cedar garden]

violation of a sacred object

[waxen herald]

some religious thing i think it means to kill someone in a church or a house of god

[soft osprey]

Mcwonder isn’t a developer he’s the community manager. Before you do it, please don’t ping the devs instead lol

[limpid jungle]

okay

[potent geyser]

yo guys
any tips for using 2 weapons at once (Like sword and shield)?

[little verge]

https://tenor.com/view/plan-planned-meant-gif-22294101

[cedar garden]

any length of a sword is still a sword, not a knife

[limpid jungle]

ohhh okay

[limpid jungle]

makes sense

[cedar garden]

yo bro i got smthn to say to you, posted it on youtube

[potent geyser]

knives actually sorta work in reverse tho
you can stab good

[cedar garden]

say that to my tiny teeny wiener

[limpid jungle]

yeah, thats what i meant, just a new london style fighting

[twilit escarp]

the two handed axe is disgustingly overpowered

[fast knot]

what the fuck are the carpets for

and why do they have physics

[tender quest]

because the high poly blood didnt blow up enough gpu's so this should do the trick

[soft osprey]

Usually carpets are made to walk on so you don’t have to walk on the hard floor, and they look nice.

Annoying if you have a dog that sheds a lot though

[fast knot]

i guess they're nice but from the image i saw, it looks like the dev gave it physics?

why

[molten galleon]

why is blud so scared

[fast knot]

imagine yourself being that guy

[molten galleon]

no 🥀

imagine yourself being this guy'

❤️

[fast knot]

i'll be shitting my pants too if someone knocked out everybody else with a spade and then looks at me

[soft osprey]

Kinda hard to say that based off a still picture, no? It’s just creases, though end of the day only the devs know for sure. But I really highly doubt they gave rugs physics, seems like it would be a waste of resources

[molten galleon]

need some feedback, is this good or no

[silver hemlock]

[torpid mortar]

the last resort of the axe kick

[silver hemlock]

how do u even kick tbh

[torpid mortar]

space bar

[silver hemlock]

[torpid mortar]

[silver hemlock]

[tough tulip]

[timid imp]

this is the only answer

billhook best hook

[hearty carbon]

how u kick so high

nvm

[drowsy flint]

you can use the trainer mod and press the slomo key when you kill one

otherwise no, apparantly the modding is very difficult at this stage

[muted dew]

You don’t even have to spin 360 degrees. Swinging the cameras in a > motion is more then enough. Also release the space bar before swinging the camera

These kicks can also be done during grappling

[brazen jolt]

ty

[muted dew]

https://tenor.com/view/half-sword-roundhouse-kick-murder-fall-gif-6805343826912238440

Not mine but this is what I mean

You can get very creative with this since it’s such low commitment to make kicks far more powerful

[minor jacinth]

ngl sometimes I wonder if some tactics are more exploitative than intended

[round belfry]

My hand keep getting cut off by my own sword. I mean the sword that i get as like a sidearm

[ember quartz]

I hope they add bascinets and more helmets other than just more sallets and kettle helms.

More mail would also be cool.

[dark hazel]

Bascinets?

[ember quartz]

Partiuclarly closed bascinets.

[dark hazel]

Oh

[ember quartz]

Like this one.

A klap visor would be an older one, but cool.

[dark hazel]

First person view on that thing would suck

[ember quartz]

Most certainly.

But the 15th century versions would be quite protective.

[dark hazel]

The other helms are already well protected

I do not think a downgrade version for first person would be good

[ember quartz]

More variation. If the more fleshed out versions of the game are going to be an "Exanima arena esque" experience, then it could definetly be lower tier, but similar protection to the armet.

When does Half-Sword take place? The mid 15th century?

[red oriole]

is it possible for the game to be modded? if so is there mods?

[dark hazel]

2080 in the willie dimension

[dark hazel]

I think no

[tough yew]

1450-1475, the examples you posted are too early for the game. but great bascinets could suffice.

[ember quartz]

Bascinets started falling off in the later 1400s. I could see the ones I posted being cheap, old, and beaten.

The klap visor is way too old though.

[daring crow]

Metal Gear

[hot thorn]

one gig update? or is my steam tripping

[daring crow]

HUH?

Update????

[hot thorn]

solid answer

[hot thorn]

the game updated on my steam

[minor jacinth]

halfsword devs be like “no one ever saved, maintained, and used armor/weapons/tools older than 20 years old”

[ashen jasper]

half sawed off legs

[foggy pulsar]

dang i just had lags just launching the goddamn game XD

[rich tulip]

anyone know why my game is suddenly laggy?

i put it to the lowest setting and i still get like 30-50fps

[ashen jasper]

pc problem prolly

[rich tulip]

it ran on like 100fps at cinematic last week

[ashen jasper]

damn

[sick cedar]

I hope this game gets more indepth graphics settings

I hate when everything turns into a pixel mess just because i set it to medium or low

[thorny perch]

it wont

You will need to be able to run crysis

[minor jacinth]

But can it run Half Sword?

[supple grotto]

hey im pretty new whats the proper care routine and food for my willy

[minor jacinth]

make sure to give him plenty of love

as for feed, I personally stick to bread, carrots, potatoes and sometimes meat

[supple grotto]

ok what should i do for exercise do i need to do that? what about enrichment?

[minor jacinth]

I usually let mine run around the yard, he tends to like things he can grab and swing around

be careful of other Willies though

these guys are pretty territorial and will try to hurt each other if they aren’t accepted as part of the group

[supple grotto]

ok good to know

[supple grotto]

what do i do if he gets injured though?

[half pollen]

I've just realised I can stab better using alt than using double click

[leaden compass]

I was mistaken my GPU drivers shat the bed

[timid imp]

im sorry to say you gotta put him down : (

a cut to the throat is the most humane way to do it

[supple grotto]

are you sure? i heard they have great healing

[minor jacinth]

Stop the bleeding and let him rest, he should be fully healed by the next day

[supple grotto]

ok good to know

[sick cedar]

I hope this game gets a replay system

Similar to something like how skate 3 has one

Also please add stablization to the head in first person...

[supple grotto]

steam has a record feature now

[dense island]

how was this one?

[supple grotto]

noice

[proven pivot]

So hyped carpets !!!!

[jolly nexus]

what exactly will the carpets be used for?

I've had this doubt in my head for days now

[modern basalt]

a cool but most definetely wrong guess would be for rapier fencing. Sword and cape. Honestly probably just for varnish and enviornment display

[minor jacinth]

My guess is that it’s gonna be floor decoration for a new arena, like the throne room

(From the itch io version)

[sick cedar]

I absolutely LOVE the brusing system and i feel it doesnt get enough credit for how fun it makes melee combat, especially in the highest and lowest tiers

taking a giant ass sword and just smacking someone out is so fun

[minor jacinth]

I wish it looked slightly better

it ends up looking like purple circles too much imo

perfect circles

this is how men figured out who was right back in the day

I was ready to leave it, then he called me an oaf

[strange garden]

how does one upload clips by the way?

[eager blade]

I use nvidia then clip them with a website

[strange garden]

i see

do you need to be a certain level to upload clips?

[eager blade]

I think so, yeah

I wish I could shave willie like a kebab

[strange garden]

aww thanks though!

[eager blade]

I think he looks happy

[worn heron]

well, how's about I show you a bit on how the devs have been improving such surface injuries?

plenty to come in Early Access

[strange garden]

bro got a rtx 9000

i dont get none of that with a 1680 super

[worn heron]

The pics were taken from GalaxyHighMarshall in his test build— they've been working on a lot behind the scenes, including improving their shaders and Lumens (which will be optional, ultimately- not all PCs will be able to run it)

[eager blade]

I made a video about how to crash the game

[worn heron]

Though, that's what testing will be for 🙂

[strange garden]

thats amazing!

[strange garden]

ium actually really glad the mod's of the game are so willing to interact with their community!

also, you should really add win and loss counters

it would be nice to see how many victores to loss's you gain over time

[worn heron]

wouldn't be any fun if we just hung out in the background!

[strange garden]

thats true but so often some builders of the game dont spend anytime with the people they are making a game for.

[worn heron]

yeahh that would definitely help the speedrunning community for sure. I don't doubt they've had the idea for EA, but I really am not sure on a lot of those kinda details

[strange garden]

im still extremely happy to b part of this community so early on!

[worn heron]

we are happy to have you

[strange garden]

no for speed running lol

for the playtest, you win and win and then loss, it would be nice to know just in general how many times youve lost and won

in both the life of your current willy, and then in total of your account

[worn heron]

yeah the speedrunning community is based more around how many kills you get moreso how fast it you get them— not entirely sure how they score it tbh

[strange garden]

it would be in the settings or sum

[strange garden]

ohhh

interesting

by the way

do you know when the weapon selection and armor selection will be up?

[worn heron]

yehh they are on the speedrunning official website

[strange garden]

you know the stuff on the side on the playtest version

[worn heron]

We will probably have full access to selecting everything in Early Access— the devs have been working on a modular system to create your own weapons, amongst many other things—
check #work-in-progress and #announcements to see some sneak peaks!

[strange garden]

nice, yeah ive been keeping up! cant wait for it! do you enjoy the game yourself, or do you just insure the stability and peace of the discord?

[worn heron]

I have about 300 hours combined in the demo and playtest! It's in my top 3 games for sure

[strange garden]

WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

damn son!

[worn heron]

I'm a huge medieval arms nerd so, I love the game

[strange garden]

i hope one day i can have that many!

[strange garden]

bro i own a polypolene longsword

it has battlescars like crazy

[worn heron]

May seem like a lot but compared to some of the other mods and people here, it's barely any ✋😭 one of our mods has over 800 on practically only the Greatsword

[strange garden]

DAMN

[worn heron]

Hell yeah! That's awesome. Share some pics sometime when you get image perms

[strange garden]

bro i only main the llongswords or the other axe 2 handed

[worn heron]

(we have a levelling system bc of past incidents)

[strange garden]

i dont blame you

let me guess

[worn heron]

Poleax over here

[strange garden]

lots of H spam

and gore?

[worn heron]

pretty much- the usual discord raid kinda stuff

[strange garden]

funny for anyone

but the mods

sucks for it to be you" says some discrod dude until it happens to them

[strange garden]

i find using the poleaxe to be really hard to use, i mean every other weapon i fight against i win, the only dudes i mostly lose against is other sword users, or axe users

[strange garden]

question is it possible to use players gampleay to train ai?

you know? using players who mostly use poleaxes to train willys that use the same weapons?

[worn heron]

That's something we all wonder tbh.

Willies AI by default has different levels of aggression and intuition, but our lead dev has never confirmed if they use machine learning at all. He's been quite mysterious on that subject!

[strange garden]

must be a eccentric man? or not?

why would be mysterious about the format the ai use to learn or use?

[strange garden]

by the way in the video demos

its shown you can click on your willy and hurt them

is it only for mods and developers?

[worn heron]

he's a funky guy that's for sure lol. We love Frank

[strange garden]

frank is awsome

[worn heron]

Yeah that's something the devteam has access to in order to showoff/test gore physics

even we don't have access to that

[strange garden]

😦

one day maybe, one day

[strange garden]

wait i just realized is it against the rules to ping you?

im so sorry i dident turn off the ping of the messages!!!

[little verge]

It is only against the rules to Ping the Dev team. 🍻

[muted dew]

if you say so. here have this rendition of me using headphones at home

[sick cedar]

Oh this is AWESOME

[minor jacinth]

sword fight game server
no raids allowed
Mannnnn

[muted dew]

https://tenor.com/view/military-buddies-battle-gif-23838581

[worn heron]

nahh you're good! Ping the mod team any time you need us. @ modteam will ping us all!

Just don't ping the main devs please ❤️ (unless you're actively having a conversation with them, we aren't gonna yell at you for that lol)

[worn heron]

will be very intense

[strange garden]

of course! thanks for the information! im just used to most discord servers punishing any ping on mods

[sick cedar]

i wonder if there'll be melee based gore damage too? Smashing someones face in would be gnarly

[vapid hull]

Can we get a buff for the billhook? Whenever the enemy gets close there‘s just absolutely no way to counter it!

[muted dew]

They are very different from longer polearms. My club studies Tallhoffers manuscrips.
Your default stance should be the short grip (the "halfsword grip") and butt of the poleaxe facing the opponent. From there everything is just same but different

[strange garden]

alright nice to know! maybe i should also study some manuscripts

[worn heron]

wack lol, tf are they there for

[muted dew]

yeah that is the fundamental weakness of long weapons. Just step back and keep them far away

[tired stream]

i just learned that holding e returns the sword back to the sheath....

[strange garden]

i jsut play the game man, and look at a few vids

that rwach me how to use the sword

[vapid hull]

Or just give‘m a little push, as seen in the video

[muted dew]

Power trips

[sick cedar]

That's why you gotta deflect and keep em close

[muted dew]

or kick them in the willie.
or as Tallhoffers really likes: parry and get them into wrestling before shanking them with your dagger

[muted dew]

you call always step backwards to keep the distance

[sick cedar]

Itd be funny if there was a special reaction in the lowest tier of fighting when you hit or get hit in the nads

[vapid hull]

They just do the work for you half the time whenever you don‘t have armor

[sick cedar]

ah, im a short weapons user myself and thats how Id deal with long weapons

Well, not short, but I use the two handed sword a lot

Favorite weapon

its fun to deflect the spear away and get up close

[vapid hull]

Kigck

[molten galleon]

What happened? Pretty sure I was here before the leveling system but I probably just missed it.

[muted dew]

I feel like your monitor could be sold to a museum

[molten galleon]

There's no monitor in that video bruzz

[vapid hull]

Wuh?

[muted dew]

mainly the aspect ratio

[vapid hull]

Backing up is peak

[muted dew]

yeah. the entire point of extra reach is so your opponent cant touch you

[vapid hull]

Bweh!!! I like sword v spear sometimess

[molten galleon]

Is it not 16:9

[sick cedar]

Hah, you smacked him with your handle

[molten galleon]

I can't really tell I'm on my phone

[sick cedar]

I like to sometimes try and just knock em out using the pommel

[ashen jasper]

last willie standing

[muted dew]

its more square then mine. im im pretty sure i got 16:9

[worn heron]

well we do try to keep the community friendly and helpful! If there's ever anything I can help you with, don't be afraid to ping me or the team

[vapid hull]

I love a good ol‘ bap bap :)

[vapid hull]

And to let them walk into it

[worn heron]

around the time we introduced gore back to the playtest, people started really getting spammy and trolly. Shock videos, gore, nsfw- the whole lot.

[muted dew]

bruh just get a proper polearm if you gonna ditch the shield anyway

[molten galleon]

I have walked into sooooo many spears it's not even funny

[molten galleon]

😨😔

I do remember seeing a couple NSFW videos lol

Thankfully no gore

[vapid hull]

After deep consideration, I am not doing that

[slate granite]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-14524166077304206618

[sick cedar]

Yeah, honestly I love the new gore system but its not what keeps players

its the gameplay and i love that

the swordplay feels really good imo

[molten galleon]

Free the goat

[sick cedar]

the sound design is good and i love the sparks when hits happen

[blissful rampart]

when will this game fully release

and will it be any different

[strange garden]

for me it really adds to the game, i love it honestly

[sick cedar]

Plus willie's design is actually really impressive. It's a decently realistic lookin guy whos got just enough silly to still look fake

[slate granite]

poor fella

[sick cedar]

Its hard to design a realistic character while avoiding the valley

[worn heron]

some of them tho....

[worn heron]

[sick cedar]

those folks dont stick around too long to be fair. You can only get so much out of only gore

[worn heron]

early access is planned for Q4 of this year! (October-December)

We don't have a full inside scoop, but there will be plenty to look forward to!
Check #work-in-progress and #announcements for some sneak peeks!

[worn heron]

that's what blood trail is for

[vapid hull]

Blood trail

[worn heron]

don't you have like 500 hours or something in that game

[sick cedar]

Ive never heard of blood trail

[worn heron]

keep it that way ✋😭 and that ain't because of competition

[vapid hull]

I don‘t like anything about it. The gore is gross and the sobbing and begging that the npcs do messes with me a lot

[ashen jasper]

bullshido

[sick cedar]

go for the balls

[vapid hull]

And the premise is edgy as fuck </3

[vapid hull]

I like shortsword a lot

[sick cedar]

i wonder if they'll add nudity, seein willy's willy wringing around would be kinda funny

[worn heron]

I mean I don't usually endorse trashing games but like

if there's one game I gotta trash

[worn heron]

sex update

[ashen jasper]

nah too easy, i like to rag into willies face with a barrage of punches to knock him down

[sick cedar]

gay sex is the only sex possible in half sword due to everyone having dick and balls

And everyone being the same guy

[vapid hull]

I thought it was like a tech demo or something, but its deadass just a killing simulator, and „you are wendigo, a cold hearted contract yap yap yap“ only makes it cornier </3

[ashen jasper]

diff angle

[sick cedar]

ah mate that dont look good

shes infected for sure

Might have to cut her off

[ashen jasper]

lol

[slate granite]

holy smokes clutch !

[strange garden]

BADASS

a fucking duck and shank to the waist for clutch

[worn heron]

repopulate the fields

[delicate harbor]

how do you dodge

[warped apex]

this has to be my favourite way to win a match

[vapid hull]

That broke his neck

[slate granite]

take that and a little bit of this

i am NOT letting this man leave alive

[vapid hull]

I miss when weapons didn‘t have self collision, and willie exploded every second

[steady carbon]

i cant prove this but im pretty certain these styles of games are a fetish thing

[ashen jasper]

headlocks are epic in this game

[steady carbon]

headlocks are awesome, i just wish your sword acted more like a sword and not a lightsaber when you get in one while halfswording

[vapid hull]

Blegh, its greatly upsetting to me regardless

Thats why we need a bo staff fr !!!!

[steady carbon]

im hoping in the future there'll be a "toned down" gore mod that makes the gore still function but not show for halfsword

cuz like, i dont wanna see a guy get cut in half man im playing this game to wind down before bed

[vapid hull]

I‘m pretty sure there‘ll be a way to turn the gore down like how there is nowwsies

[vapid hull]

Thats why I usually go for non lethal head shmacks

[ashen jasper]

real

also, fast punch

[tiny sand]

can u break your spine on half sword?

if so i think i jus did

[ashen jasper]

well

[tiny sand]

my guys screaming his head off with no blood or brusing

[steady carbon]

no bones currently modeled i dont think

[tiny sand]

hmm

[ashen jasper]

if you did, you shouldn't be able to do anything

[steady carbon]

you have little noodle arms

[tiny sand]

yeah i cant

[steady carbon]

ive twisted the ais arms around 360 degrees when theyve grabbed me and theyre fine

[tiny sand]

hmm idk then

[minor jacinth]

Is there any practical difference between the silver armor and the black armor?

[calm ivy]

Got a nice TKO and disarm, all in one motion!

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/jYtNZCnEgvGeDfPX6?invite=cr-MSx4Z0YsMjY1MzE2ODc2

[vagrant sonnet]

that had to have been one heavy hitting punch

[ashen jasper]

yes

[vagrant sonnet]

I love grabbing their heads after downing them and then just smacking them with my free hand

[umbral sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-nervous-sweating-concerned-monkas-gif-15154684

[vagrant sonnet]

Yeah I'm crazy 😎

Gotta watch out

I aint spare no soul

Its funny listening to them beg for mercy

whilst I slam my fist into their noggin

[vagrant sonnet]

either till they get KOd or die

[ashen jasper]

i love that

[vagrant sonnet]

fav thing as peasant second to spin kicking them

[ashen jasper]

that is so hard to do

i normally do it with slow mode on

[vagrant sonnet]

its pretty easy once u get the hang of it

[ashen jasper]

hm

[vagrant sonnet]

Hold shift, look for the foot that is behind, and then when the ai is near swing your camera in the direction of the rear foot (left foot > right, right foot > left)

and then just practice

[ashen jasper]

yeah ik how to do it

i practice in slow mode

[delicate harbor]

how do u enable slow mode again

[ashen jasper]

head kick

[ashen jasper]

trainer mod

[delicate harbor]

wait what trainer mod is available for playtest now?

[ashen jasper]

yes

[delicate harbor]

like

[ashen jasper]

don't forget to dowload the new mod installer tho

[delicate harbor]

all of the stuff from demo?

[ashen jasper]

all the stuff that's in this game

is in the trainer

[delicate harbor]

yeah but like all the features such as spawning things

[calm ivy]

POV: You are the Half Sword equivalent of the Giant Hand in Super Smash Bros

[ashen jasper]

yes

[delicate harbor]

oh my god awesome

is it on nexus

[ashen jasper]

yes

[delicate harbor]

sick thanks

[ashen jasper]

just make sure to install the new installer

[delicate harbor]

ok

[ember tendon]

anyway i can make it so i can only fight longswords im tired of these annoying ahh shields

[glad matrix]

no update in multiple months

we cant be srs

[sleek gull]

Next update is Early Access.

[dense island]

Goedendags are so fuckin annoying and hard to kill I'm surprised Tenbre Rosso Sangue doesn't turn on whenever you fight one

and yes I try to cut them limb from limb while they are still alive

[somber geyser]

Will the early access be free?

[dense island]

no

maybe,

idk

I've played early access games but this might be diff

[restive garnet]

No

[somber geyser]

Kk

[somber geyser]

Will the playtest still be around?

[restive garnet]

No

[sleek gull]

You need to make them fear you!

[restive garnet]

It's a Playtest for a reason

[sleek gull]

EA will likely be around $40

[restive garnet]

That is not confirmed

No price is set

But it will cost

[prisma field]

40 for what it is currently is a no go

If they add a lot more maybe

[sleek gull]

This is said to be 5% of what the game will be

[restive garnet]

Indeed

[rigid ginkgo]

is it normal that in the 3v3 the enemies just start fighting each other

[dense island]

holy shit willie is a beast

I hit him with my sword hard enough I dropped it

he dropped his billhook, ripped the sword out of his arm

and started using it against me

[prisma field]

But I have played this game in it's many forms for probably 3 years now

[restive garnet]

The Playtest is 5%

[prisma field]

So I will support it

[restive garnet]

Appreciate it

I'd wait till you see what EA got to offer

[prisma field]

Yeah

I will buy it no matter what lol

Just hoping to get a lot more

[restive garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/luna-cat-crunchy-cat-gif-16814506989711391927

[restive garnet]

Hehehe

[sleek gull]

I feel like I owe money at this point lol

[rigid ginkgo]

anyone?

[dense island]

how are you today galaxy

[prisma field]

I don't think so? I rarely play 3v3 though

[frank pagoda]

i've had that happen for me aswell yeah

[dense island]

murder willie theme song:

[restive garnet]

am good, today was a chill day. after working out,. now i enjoy my weekend and play Schedule I

how are u

[dense island]

noice

uhhh

decent

[restive garnet]

better then nothing

[dense island]

I really gotta make another half sword vid at some point

[restive garnet]

awesomee

[dense island]

I wanna do one of nothing but butchering goedendags

but they are so rare, and, hard to fight

who knew a spear with extra spikes was hard to get up close to XD

[restive garnet]

loool

spiked schtick my beloved

[dense island]

I've taken one out bare handed, and thats all I care about

[restive garnet]

dayumm

[dense island]

I also have to get better at editing vids, but I have, zero braincells XD

[humble bloom]

Galaxy was playing willie plinko to test blunt damage earlier?

[restive garnet]

no i was playing willie plinko, to see how many bones i can break, and see how well protected and long stay alive he can be with armor vs non.

but also seeing how our radoll tech behaves

[zenith kelp]

ghost willie

[somber geyser]

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[lost wagon]

WHAT WILL YOU HAVE AFTER 500 YEARS MARK

[spice bane]

a gladiator version of this game would be peak

[calm ivy]

Limb Destruction/Disarm + Counter!

[distant kernel]

anyone else lagging more than usual today

[vapid hull]

lmao

[warped widget]

anyone know what the pole hammer with the hook on the other end is called?

i've been trying to find more info about it on line but havent had much luck

[hidden zephyr]

Anybody else manage to do this?

[warped widget]

you ripped his foot off

[hidden zephyr]

yeah

I have no idea how I managed that

Since he was standing on it

[warped widget]

i've chopped them off while they are downed before

[hidden zephyr]

nice

[humble bloom]

these are a once in a blue moon success, but damn they hit different. this what true brave stand looks like

if they make the willies work as a more cohesive group ill be screwed though

falchion willie had no business charging in, and he paid the ultimate price for it.

[granite basin]

yo

whats the 2nd halfswording position thing for the spear

is that meant for people on the ground?

[humble bloom]

it can be.

its also usable when the enemy is in your face, or it can be used to block overhead swings.

[granite basin]

it just seems so odd

andd after the first hit with it its hard to get it to go backin that positipn

[humble bloom]

you are referring to the animation for when you hold right click right?

[granite basin]

i think i get why tho

for when i click it twice

right click twice

and its not he usual half swording animation

[humble bloom]

lemme try it real quick

[granite basin]

ill show you

nvm

no vc here

i cant post pics here either

[soft osprey]

There is you just don’t have image or VC perms so it’s hidden

[granite basin]

in photography

[humble bloom]

photography always always pics.

theres an ingame photomode

press c

[granite basin]

its in photography

if i move it a significant distance it defaults to the original holding

[humble bloom]

yeah that looks like it could be a bug, I cant really replicate it.
or I dont understand

[granite basin]

thgats me holding i to the left too

i was gonna put the default of this new stance but theres a a30 minute wait

mind if i send them to u ddirectly?

its consistent between games too

[humble bloom]

go ahead and dm me

they should be open to all

[granite basin]

have to friend first

it seems like a usable stance

like it defaults to original so u couldd prob use it as a frontal attack then retreat with it

[acoustic stirrup]

does the grotesque mode just like make things easier to dismember or what

[humble bloom]

yes, and makes more blood particles spawn which increases the size of blood pools.

[radiant knot]

I love this game too much

I didnt even know there was a photo mode!

How fun

[naive holly]

Higher gore means more dispenserment and visible injuries including bruises, gashes, skin flaying, etc.

Higher blood is, well...

[naive holly]

It's very addicting, and the photo mode is awesome and robust

[radiant knot]

whatttt that is sick

I'll figure out how to do that someday 💔

I always use the Prickly fork in the Farmer team

I feel invincible with it

Put some in #game-footage-🎮🎥

[radiant knot]

And honestly yea the game is so addicting to me even though it's just me pricking people the entire time

[craggy verge]

https://tenor.com/view/gurren-lagann-gif-4968563

THIS...

IS MY DRILL....

THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!!!!!!!

[radiant knot]

🔥

[naive holly]

Just gotta find the right angle and mess with the sliders. Enjoy the process of seeing what everything does.

I usually turn up the warmth and turn down the brightness/gamma just a smidgen.

[radiant knot]

Yea it gives some awesome effects

[sleek gull]

Believe in the me that believes in you!@

[naive holly]

Those are sick, pitchfork and hoe are my favorite farmer weapons.

The hoe is deceptively strong

[radiant knot]

I have a clip of whacking someone in 2 with a single hit with the hoe

I always play with max player and npc damage

Makes it more fun

[vapid hull]

I like the fit :)

[radiant knot]

That is awesome

[naive holly]

You're in the minority there m'lord.

[vapid hull]

I couldn't say it in the game footage channel

[radiant knot]

Aw mannn

Yea well the battles come and go really quick I get that

[naive holly]

I usually play with them both at like 40%, makes the one hit KOs more satisfying because they're intentionally placed.

[naive holly]

Exactly why most turn it down

[naive holly]

Tyty my good sir

[radiant knot]

I'll try that tomorrow!

[naive holly]

Bro would not die

[timid imp]

you gotta just hold the sword in there til he does

its how the law works

also i kinda enjoy it : )

this sword feels weird i kinda wanna go back to my billhook

[timid imp]

exactly

[sleek gull]

1, 2, 3...

[timid imp]

unexpected

im almost good at the little hook thing that rali does

rn aiming is my main weakness the billhook is a complete pain in the ass to aim

[wooden pasture]

the gore in this game is so funny, like I get that it's aiming to be realistic but the dismemberment is so broken - I'm not entirely certain you can cleanly shear off someone's femur with a short sword

Ah shit I can't post images, I was gonna post the one screenshot I have of me bisecting a man vertically with a hoe lol

[minor jacinth]

why does willie's mouth do this when looking up

[vagrant sonnet]

I just did a weird thing

Went in for a strike to the neck with me axe

and ended up commiting a rick and morty

(Dude touched me and just died)

Just heard Willie cry for the first time

[naive holly]

No idea

[minor jacinth]

the punch that broke the game:

[delicate verge]

I mean you could, the human body is surprisingly durable and weak at the exact same time

[glacial falcon]

Is mail armor planned?

[lofty bronze]

this happned to me too

the fists of doom are broken i guess

[restive barn]

let us sheathen our swerds in honoru

[summer pollen]

hmmmm

https://tenor.com/view/general-kenobi-general-grievous-revenge-of-the-sith-star-wars-gif-26397323

[near flax]

how come when the enemy grabs me it's almost impossible to remove them, but when i try to grapple and throw them to the floor, 70% of the time it detaches immediately?
