Yeah getting back on your feet takes a while! I read that you can press buttons to help though? Like down?

heavy surge
#

yeah

steady carbon
#

i think rn the ai might have a soft notopple thing going on under the hood because the ai does not really understand that its falling or on the ground i dont think

heavy surge
#

still feels like trying to walk on wet tile

steady carbon
#

the ai cant really understand that its at risk of falling down

heavy surge
#

lol thats funny to think about

Of course, I imagined if we got a dark souls game with this combat! haha

heavy surge
#

half sword with bows would be cool like a archers only

steady carbon
#

i was more thinking about mount and blade

steady carbon

if the original mount and blade had a system of combat similar it wouldve been a masterpiece of technical engineering for gaming

proven verge
slow lintel
#

A buddy of mine loves Mount & Blade!

heavy surge
#

ok lets abbrieviate that

steady carbon
#

even if halfsword is a failure i hope people can cannibalize the concepts for other projects

and maybe the melee genre wont die

half sword has already begun

You on dx12?

@heavy nacelle Do you have updated gpu drivers?

Make it dx11

steady carbon

theyll do combos but its not that complex

I noticed that too. Some are more aggressive

do dx11, never 12

will i ever stop screaming and be able to use my weapons with a missing hand

Excuse me, for trying to help!

Have you tried turning it on and off again?

Combos, yeah that makes sense. I've been trying to parry with a longsword and getting pretty good at it. But I'm worried it's mostly because I'm learning the combos lol

steady carbon

learn to clinch with the ai

odd kiln
#

it has a 60fps cap tho

loud jackal

i tripped over and got decapitated

steady carbon

if you can survive a fully armpured clinch you can survive pretty much anything in this version of the game i think

i sure love getting sliced in half w a butter knife in this game

the new one has the exact same content as the old one and more

its a ue5 game in prealpha, youre gonna have terrible fps and performance

this is a playtest, you're meant to test the game

soft osprey

get a better pc

tawdry pelican

so what's your cpu

steady carbon

a better pc does nothing to fix the fps, the games just like that rn

tawdry pelican

I'm running this game from a 5 yrs old PC setup

steady carbon

i get 60fps on medium and im on a 1650 wth a laptop xpu

#

its just fucky

#

sometimes i can get 45fps on high

I play at 1080p and get 60 fps.

that doesnt mean anything to me im afraid

tawdry pelican

lol I have 2700x+3060

a 3060 is more than enough to run this game, whats your cpu though

proven verge

steady carbon
#

maybe someday

odd kiln
#

should all be good enough, try verifying game files if you havent already idk

steady carbon
#

playtest wasnt trying to be an actual game like the new demo is

proven verge
#

Old demo didnt host assets from the playtest and the abyss or have a skeleton and bone break system along with the updated physics

tawdry pelican
#

SWITCH FROM DX12 TO DX11 we told you twice

odd kiln
#

performance really hasnt changed at all for me

tawdry pelican
odd kiln
#

if anything it got better

steady carbon
#

check cfg files

#

wait does this game have cfg editing

#

check your cfg settings for an fps cap

#

set it to nil if you can find one

#

or do a full wipe of the game

#

and dont touch the fps cap again

#

or just switch to dx11

#

which is the best bet

slow lintel

Later guys, take care!

short longswords

if you have a modicum of skill

falchions are also good and require zero skill

but theyre unusable with a shield in my experience

is it jus me or at that tier is leg meta a thing

steady carbon

i dont aim for legs much anymore bc it feels cheap

its so easy to break legs now if not just cut them off

what happened to the organs falling out

is the script for it also broken

wispy fulcrum
#

stabs r risky tho bc youd be so exposed

desert acorn
#

depends

wispy fulcrum
#

i jus half s word and aim for the nape

untold wagon
#

someone post more physics going insane

desert acorn
#

yeah, try to half sword, then hold alt and move side to side

light storm
desert acorn
#

the character snaps a lot

untold wagon
#

like one time in abyss i got sent flying miles out of the map

wispy fulcrum
#

ok ill try stabs

light storm
#

its so easy

wispy fulcrum
#

it always lands to the left or right

desert acorn
#

stabs work less the more armor your enemy has

light storm
desert acorn
#

you can aim stabs by moving left or right when pulled back

light storm
#

i prefer your starting position on the right

desert acorn
#

and use footwork to reposition accordingly

#

train on the mannequin if you need

wispy fulcrum
#

i jus beat another fight by half swording to victory but he had a spear so

desert acorn
#

against enemies with exposed arms and necks, when they have shields I also like the sidestep to the left as they approach then slice at them from the side method

wispy fulcrum
#

i play on the teir where ppl use a lot of breastplates that will jus stop my stabs

desert acorn
#

yeah that depends on enemy weaponry

wispy fulcrum
#

there is only one armor that this works against

wispy fulcrum
desert acorn
#

for spears getting in close after dealing with the initial hit is good

#

but against longswords you're just asking for death

#

like it works, but it can be just as dangerous for you

hard cloak
#

Any advice how to stop playing for 4 hours?

guys

#

otherwise, try to knock them down, you can play it safe and hit the head a few times to daze them before throwing them to the floor

#

yeah that's the issue, don't go brawling with enemies that have their full capacity

formal chasm
#

hitting neck gaps seems to be impossiible after this update...

wispy fulcrum
#

actaully at teir 6 what is the best weapon is it the longsword

desert acorn
#

they can knock you down just as easily as you can get them

#

I tend to prefer polearms

#

billhooks and voulges

#

you get much better range, and even against armored enemies, if you get a polearm hit to the helmet you go down

#

doesn't matter if the blade cuts or not, you just go down from the blunt force

ocean obsidian
#

falling down mechanic kinda ruins the game rn

wispy fulcrum
#

you jus gotta be very careful not to let them push u right

wispy fulcrum
desert acorn
#

how would they push you if you stay at range?

ocean obsidian
desert acorn
#

the goal is to not just touch their nipples with yours

wispy fulcrum
#

ill jus stick to my longsword for now and maybe the sword and shield

desert acorn
#

what do you mean not much room for error?

#

if you have the longer weapon you have all the room

#

like they have to take two more steps to even attempt to hit you

wispy fulcrum
#

how would u win a longsword on longsword fight at tier 3 i jus beat mine by being super agressive and jus hitting him before he hit me

desert acorn
#

that's easy as it gets to avoid

#

you can be aggro, or you can play it safe

#

if you have the same weapons then yeah it's all about technique

#

so footwork and parries

#

and aiming for weaker spots

#

neck, arm, legs, chest

#

anything exposed

#

if you can hit their dominant hand, it's over for them

wispy fulcrum
#

like when u have no armor ig yea my solution is to be so agressive theyre surprised

wind charm
desert acorn
#

yep

#

when you pull your weapon back it baits the opponent into attacking

snow gulch
#

actually starting to really like polearms

honest thorn
desert acorn
#

it's easy to not just predict but control the timing of the fight

wispy fulcrum
snow gulch
#

feels so cool when you hit a blow that doesnt completely drop them but puts them on their knees, and you land a finishing blow

desert acorn
snow gulch

#

thats harder than the ultimate challenge

tepid coral
#

Sucks that I have to turn off the gore tho

snow gulch
#

yeah its a pain but its wtv

tepid coral
#

I was planning to cheese the knights with the halfsword hug

ocean obsidian
#

which one of the swords is the longsword

tepid coral
snow gulch
#

guess its just poor playtesting 🤷 feel like thats how it goes with most of these updates atp

snow gulch
ocean obsidian
#

swords are all long

snow gulch
#

i guess you could call the knight tier ones greatswords

#

but then they have longswords as sidearms for stuff like polearms

stone moon
#

i fucking hate the abyss

ocean obsidian
#

its so frustrating to get knocked down by literally nothing and instantly die

#

thats the biggest problem of the game rn

#

ai is programmed to run into you, you fall down to any slight push and falling down is a guaranteed death sentence

#

you cant counter the ai's bull charging with stabs because stabs are insanely inaccurate

grave grove
#

indeed

zinc field
#

no.

#

i fell over during some boss fights

#

and i didnt die

#

its called determination

grave grove
snow gulch
#

yeah thats why i switched back to playtest, much more stable characters there

grave grove
#

and not being hit as hard

zinc field
#

no.

snow gulch
#

idk how it got changed in the first place

#

or why

THEY ARE SUPOSED TO BE SLOW

yet they can just, JUMP forward with imence force

and i cant do anything about it because they dont care about strength, (its not skill as they can just ignore blunt damage, its a known thing)

bro the boss for beggar role is stupid op

#

what is going on

normal sigil
#

there's always a knife on the ground in his arena, right in the center, dodge a hit and stab him in the belly to 1 shot

#

if there's a long candle holder, use the back end (not the one with the curls) it'll one shot him

#

have fun with the commoner boss lol, got no advice for you there other than get lucky

wispy fulcrum
#

If i have a sword and shield how doni fight someone wearing a breastplate

heavy falcon
#

YES

#

THANKS U @normal sigil

wispy fulcrum

Currently my solution os to either try and sneak a slice at their neck ehich may have mail on it or stab them in rhe stomach

key rebinding when?

#

accessibility matters. people who are physically disabled like me should be able to rebind the fucking open camera menu from c to some other button

#

cause my michael j foxx ass hands keep accidentally pressing c, which opens the camera, and deads out your player characters movement/actions/thing you were about to do

#

and its killed me so many times

Idk dude, rebindable keys would be nice, but disability reasons seem disingenuous. I mean at the end of the day this is a demo, a very impressive demo but a demo nonetheless.
