at least if your standard dpi is like mine

[sleek gull]

1400 dpi

[tepid geyser]

Wow that was easy

[proven verge]

I find beggar/peasant to be the easiest

Also when the new demo originally released there used to be only a knife to fight him. Still have some clips of it.

[tepid geyser]

I personally think that armor is a bit overtuned.

[hearty stone]

armor is great where it is right now

it's the whole point

[proven verge]

What do you mean? It works as intended, unless youre using blunt force to knock them out or getting through the slits it protects.

[hearty stone]

The real strange thing is that right now the gauntlet is sort of backwards in difficulty. Sparring in full armor is way safer.

[tepid geyser]

Blunt force doesn't seem to do anything and the accuracy issue.

[hearty stone]

Dueling naked with knives is insane.

[sleek gull]

Armor fights are easy. Grab a long, heavy blunt weapon, and smash them in the head. Ez pz

[barren hare]

i wish that you could still fight/swing your other arm after losing a arm

[hearty stone]

like it might actually make sense to go down in armor classes

[proven verge]

That's literally a skill issue bro

[sleek gull]

Now that is the real deal!

[hearty stone]

beggar carnage is nuts

[tepid geyser]

Oh, ok

[barren hare]

im in abbys rn and im just dead nothin i can do

[hearty stone]

I can't wait to be able to duel people who whine :V

[tepid geyser]

Thanks for the lower sens tip! I'm hitting a lot better now!

[proven verge]

Soon enough youll be doing shit like this.

[sleek gull]

I live in the commoner class. Some times one level up when I want to fight against spears and the like. I really like that one hit can easily kill me. Its a different kind of fight. Armor is much more in your face, while unarmored favors a gentlemen's fencing duel.

[tepid geyser]

I'm practicing on Peasent.

Yknow what? Commoner.

[hearty stone]

man I literally just got knocked out with a mace to the head and it dented the helmet

this game rules

[tepid geyser]

Just got a nice ass stab.

[amber shoal]

this kinda nice?

[sleek gull]

you can dent helms and armor. Even with your bare hands..

[sleek gull]

nice face stab!

[proven verge]

Or this kind of nice? @tepid geyser

[sonic sparrow]

i keep getting fatals

[tepid geyser]

That kinda nice.

[grim latch]

you would be basically doing what the black knight did when he lost all his limbs except one

[tepid geyser]

Got a really good neckstab!

[sleek gull]

we face stabbin?!

[amber shoal]

i just knocked a man out with the butt of a two handed mace

[tepid geyser]

how do you do that

[barren hare]

lol

[sleek gull]

Gonna need to be a whole lot more specific lol

[tepid geyser]

How do you play as Baron fighting commoners?

[sleek gull]

Not Baron. I used a trainer mod to drop in items such as the shoes, pants, shirt, and sword. And saved it via the OVRDTH Selector mod.

[proven verge]

You can occasionally, sometimes you get lucky. This was default damage settings too, it just kept registering as blunt rather than cuts.

[amber shoal]

two handed mace in the offhand is op

[proven verge]

Try dual weilding them if you find another, absolute cheese.

[amber shoal]

i've been using the candelabra to catch swords

[proven verge]

Best weapon in the game

[minor veldt]

Was it like this?

[tepid geyser]

Yeah!

[minor veldt]

Pretty nice stab you got there, pal

[minor veldt]

Then I congratulate you

[sleek gull]

Haven't first personed is a long time.. still got it, lol

[rancid sluice]

wish i could do this with my polearms more consistently

[proven verge]

You can with time sir, just keep at it

[rancid sluice]

had to be practically handed to me but still felt good

[minor veldt]

Fellow billhook!

[amber shoal]

what tier is the guy with the spiked spear

[proven verge]

This really is one of the reasons they dont want to give us grip controls on polearms, just a funny bug but absolutely devestating

[proven verge]

You can get it as low as tier 4, called a plancon.

[rancid sluice]

tier four and up

[amber shoal]

the boss

[rancid sluice]

oh, probably tier four

[proven verge]

Tier 4 boss i think

[minor veldt]

I've seen my fair share of polearm bugs

[amber shoal]

yeah hate that guy

[proven verge]

Its the best though

[lofty stag]

how can i reset my entire progress

[rancid sluice]

honestly i've had less problems with the tier four boss than i have with tier three

[lofty stag]

if you aimed it right it would have been a great finisher

[proven verge]

Yeah because if you have the billhook or your own plancon hes pretty easy to deal with

[rancid sluice]

i've beaten tier three boss without pitchfork maybe like 10% of the time

dude's just too strong

[minor veldt]

I did have a clip where I attempted to remove a pitchfork from a corpse and he launched into the air and crashed my game on impact

[proven verge]

I crashed after this one too, happened to clip it at the right moment

[minor veldt]

Like you stuck your sword into an electrical socket

[sleek gull]

Hehe, I almost forgot how fun, and intense FPV can be.

[hearty stone]

bro the voulge is OP

or whatever it's properly called

the polecleaver

[proven verge]

Best polearm imo next to the poleaxe

[hearty stone]

now that I know how to swing it it's just immediate death

[proven verge]

You got it right

[amber shoal]

finally got a chest plate

[hearty stone]

which poleaxe?

[minor veldt]

Just an early halberd

[hearty stone]

it does lack backspike

[minor veldt]

Which is why it's an early halberd

Which was just a blade on a stick

[hearty stone]

yeah I was thinking voulge. bardiche is more like an overgrown bearded axe

[minor veldt]

The voulge references more of a glaive-type weapon

[proven verge]

Yeah no bardiche yet, has more of a curved blade

[proven verge]

The one for soldier tier and above, the actual poleaxe

[hearty stone]

it's about the same thing you're talking about

[proven verge]

Sent the wrong clip but the thing i chucked at him

[hearty stone]

huh

[timid rampart]

Do someone know why im keep throwing to abbys at rank of the commoner?

[hearty stone]

okay I was going off diablo but real voulges look way smaller

you know like every weapon

@somber wharf oh yeah that thing rocks in full plate

[amber shoal]

tier 5 done!

[minor veldt]

I'm more partial to the polearm with the rounded hammer on the end of it

This one

[west shale]

aight. whos gonna fraking yell at these devs to make humans stand like humans

[proven verge]

Very nice name called the polehammer

[wind flume]

I either need the voulge in tier 1 & 2 or I need tier 3 to get brave stand

[proven verge]

Are ya holding shift laddy

[west shale]

no

[wind flume]

Voulge > Everything

[west shale]

imj not

[minor veldt]

Totally forgot the name

[proven verge]

You should be, it puts willie in a fighting stance so you dont lose your balance all the time. Also allows for harder swings since hes in said fighting stance.

[sleek gull]

Back to toying with Willie..

[wind flume]

https://tenor.com/view/bonk-gif-19410756

Your bonkening, sire!

[wind flume]

Buckler my beloved

[minor veldt]

Never used a buckler for defensive purposes

[proven verge]

Its very effective

[amber shoal]

i like to use it as a throwing weapon

[minor veldt]

"Do you feel the cold metal against your nape?"

[amber shoal]

i aim for the legs

[tepid geyser]

I'm hitting dudes constantly, but for some reason they ain't goin down

UUGH... I'm using blunt weapons but they don't do SHIT!

[proven verge]

The last thing you ever see

[amber shoal]

he hit me three times in the head with his bonking stick

couldn't handle his big stick

[tepid geyser]

CAN I PLEASE.
Get some help on why my blunt weapons don't do squat!

[proven verge]

Are you holding shift on your swings?

[tepid geyser]

No.

[proven verge]

You should be

[dark jay]

Is there a mod that I can use to make my left forearm and hand permanently bloody?

[soft osprey]

You are WEAK

[tepid geyser]

Ah ok

[solemn holly]

if you're not doing any damage with them you're not using them right

[light stirrup]

Back kicks will become the meta if fist play ever becomes online

[tepid geyser]

Tell me how to use them correctly then

[solemn holly]

swing hard and fast

[tepid geyser]

Can I get some actual help?

[proven verge]

Holding shift puts willie in a fighting stance, it allows him to properly swing through. Think chopping wood, you dont have your legs close together like youre standing at attention.

[amber shoal]

aim for the red spots

[soft osprey]

No not really. How am I supposed to help you lol it just takes practice

[tepid geyser]

No red spots? Fighting knights

[hearty stone]

there's nothing like stepping in with a good shift lunge forward and cutting someone in half with a 2h sword

[soft osprey]

I can’t swing for you

[amber shoal]

the red spots are just visual indicators

[minor veldt]

Practice distance on the training dummy so you can use the metal

[soft osprey]

Everything comes down to practice in halfsword.

[minor veldt]

Sometimes you'll just be hitting with the wooden shaft and it takes away a lot of the effectiveness

[soft osprey]

Yeah the only advice I can give is learn proper distance for each weapon

[minor veldt]

I'm like 97% confident that people just ignore the training dummy

Not me though, I'm on a mission to knock it over

[sleek gull]

LOL Prolly. I love going to it and sorta calibrating myself.

[amber shoal]

sometimes you just gotta MACE MAX

[soft osprey]

He’s a tough son of a bitch

[minor veldt]

Ditto

[tepid geyser]

Willie just charge at me

[proven verge]

Eh even with the shaft, if you hit hard enough itll get the job done. Just got to swing it right

[minor veldt]

He's probably talking about one-handed blunt weapons though

[soft osprey]

Yeah he wants to kill you

[minor veldt]

Because the two-handed shafts do a lot more damage

[amber shoal]

you hit a man in his exposed neck with a long weighted stick they're going down

[minor veldt]

Is this a Mythbusters episode?

[hearty stone]

here's a protip

[amber shoal]

wanna make it one?

[tepid geyser]

This game bullshit on higher levels

[hearty stone]

did you know you can force willy to surrender at weaponpoint

[minor veldt]

We can take turns

[soft osprey]

Hit him and kill him. Pro tip

[hearty stone]

if killing him on the ground is too hard, esp with armored willies, just swing your weapon down against his chest and leave it there

[soft osprey]

Honestly I find higher tiers way easier to at the very least, not lose

[hearty stone]

if he tries to get up into your weapon he'll stop and surrender

[amber shoal]

[minor veldt]

Or you can use your real weapon...

[proven verge]

I remember during playtest there was this guy who was upset that he kept getting knocked out by the shaft on polearms. We had to explain to him that if you got hit by a 2-3 inch thick pole of hardwood you'd go to sleep, he then said it broke his arm too. We then had to explain to him that you can have your bones broken by a piece of wood....the amount of people who overestimate the human bodies capacity to take damage is absurd.

[tepid geyser]

OH NO

[hearty stone]

yeah but you can stand there and hold your sword on his chest like ha I got u

and he yield

@proven verge offer to fly him out and do mocap

[proven verge]

You can also get them to surrender holding it against their neck, but yes if willie cant get up he'll surrender.

[soft osprey]

What do you mean? I break 3 foot wide logs with my arm daily

[bronze dust]

I really dislike using one handed weapons because it doesn’t feel like you have as much control tbh, compared to 2 hands

[hearty stone]

anywhere around the face/head/torso seems to work

[minor veldt]

Yeah around the neck area but you can also make them surrender when they're standing up

Just have to hold it there long enough

[soft osprey]

Fair

[hearty stone]

is the weird offhand nonstance you get when you switch weapon in halfsword on polearm intended

like for punching and switching back

[amber shoal]

"why am i getting knocked out after getting hit in the head with a club?" said the Spaniard after getting his head caved in

[hearty stone]

switch hands rather

[minor veldt]

Polearms are the most janky in the game from what I've personally experienced

[soft osprey]

Earlier demo you can cut through solid armor like butter with any bladed weapon, and didn’t have to worry about stamina so you could just swing wildly

[minor veldt]

I sometimes get launched backwards when trying to switch stances with a spear

[hearty stone]

@amber shoal at this moment I'm more wondering why spiked poles/spears weren't more common

[soft osprey]

Not possible to revert unfortunately

[minor veldt]

Spears were literally like the most common weapon

[proven verge]

it can be really fun though once you get it down, requires much more finesse. And when you pair it with grappling it feels like youre mugging them.

[amber shoal]

a sword was simply easier to carry than a spiked club that is rather long and well

covered in spikes

[soft osprey]

Good luck let me know

[proven verge]

Spears and polearms in general are the most common weapon in the history of mankind, only the rich or well equipped could afford swords, and even then most still carried a polearm as a primary.

[bronze dust]

I remember when you could gut willie lmao

[hearty stone]

yeah I know that

but the godendag spikey spear seems way less represented

I'm guessing just because it's easier to hurt yourself and your whole army with

[amber shoal]

swords are also very easy to make if you have the resources

[proven verge]

Wasnt good for formation fighting. Which is how a majority of battles were fought.

[amber shoal]

spears just need less metal

[bronze dust]

You think they’ll bring back being able to gut your opponent lol

[hearty stone]

yeah the ideal weapon is just a really long stick with a really sharp hard bit on one end

[solemn holly]

most likely

[hearty stone]

we're waiting for organs to be implemented

that's why willy is hollow rn

[minor veldt]

The actual goedendag isn't very well-documented

Nobody actually knows how they used it and it's debated whether it was mainly used as a spear or a club

[hearty stone]

it also can work against the user

[proven verge]

They took it out for now so they can optimize the game better, plus the fatal crashes we get right now or mostly due to blood and gore.

[light stirrup]

Or make their heads explode witha paddle

[hearty stone]

the spikes can keep you from pulling your weapon back

[amber shoal]

i use that in chivalry

favorite weapon

besides maul

[solemn holly]

when blood was released for the playtest, each singular blood drop was incredibly high poly + had real time reflections

[bronze dust]

I wasn’t around for that, sounds like I missed out lmao

[soft osprey]

And the spikey stick version we have, known as the placon a picot, has even less documentation. People don’t know if it was ever actually used

[proven verge]

Well we do know that they used it effectively at the battle of the golden spurs to beat an army of knights. In fact the goedendag is practically ingrained in flemish history because of it.

[bronze dust]

And yeah I’ve had some crashes from decapitating people in helmets

[light stirrup]

I used to explode heads with the paddle on accident lol

[minor veldt]

And that it was possibly used to remove a knight from his horse

[tepid geyser]

I am very frustrated with the Great Foe on Knight level. Please give me advice.
I will NOT FUCKING TAKE "Git gud" as advice.

[soft osprey]

I know skull crushing will return, just in a more realistic way and not like popping a balloon

and just think, the blood will be even BETTER in early access than what we have now

[amber shoal]

I forgot how much energy you can build up on the commoner maces

[solemn holly]

use a polearm or other large 2 handed blunt weapon, aim for the head or legs, knock them down, hold the weapon near their head, and they'll surrender

[light stirrup]

Here's an old clip (Spanish warning)

[proven verge]

Bonk him in the head bro

[bronze dust]

“By accident”
I think crushing someone’s head is a pretty intentional act, buddy

Wack

[proven verge]

Oh it still is, the environment just does it better now.

[soft osprey]

People have asked for it since the playtest released

[minor veldt]

Like... this?

[bronze dust]

Nah I get it lol

[wooden gazelle]

im so glad the gore is more "responsive" or easier to trigger than before the update

[proven verge]

You can turn it on...go to settings, controls, then center crosshair.

[bronze dust]

Also I remember how weapons used to handle differently in the demo

The old demo

[wooden gazelle]

no it doesnt turn it on

[bronze dust]

Floppy hands :(

Literally limp wristed

Back in the day

It really did

[tepid geyser]

I hate this game.

For the armor.

[light stirrup]

This was meant to be a "fair fight" lol

[waxen brook]

Are we gonna get one of those bridge things with the spikes is that what is in wip

That’s gonna be so fun

[tepid geyser]

Honestly, late-game, there are so little weakpoints so that you have to use blunt weapons which are not fun

[bronze dust]

Dude, unironically? Fuck the cudgel. 2 handed candelabra is my GOAT

[oak totem]

idk, my only complaint is being touched by opponents weapon a tiny bit and died immediately

[waxen brook]

Gang I’m gonna be using a blunt weapon so it’s like those things you see at trampoline parks where you push people into foam pits

[wooden gazelle]

i agree, i really only play tier 2 to 5

[bronze dust]

The metal candlestand, whatever you call it

[light stirrup]

[bronze dust]

Yeah it stabs lol

[fallow sentinel]

all weapons are good

[bronze dust]

Comes down to personal preference

[fallow sentinel]

its a matter of mastering them all

im the true champ

but then i can also have huge swords

[tepid geyser]

YES!

I BEAT HIM

[fallow sentinel]

this sword begs to differ

[twilit escarp]

you're probably wondering how I got into this situation

[bronze dust]

I remember when I was getting tired of the gauntlet, what I’d do was just fucking half sword a polearm in the later tiers, and bullrush the opponent to make them fall down lmao

Goofy shit

this sword u can only get for beating baron bare fist

[bronze dust]

Gho

if you hit someone with the flat of the greatsword's blade it does tons of bludgeoning damage.

sometimes you get clips like the first one, others you get clips like the second

there is 0 inbetween

[bronze dust]

Yeah lmao

[light stirrup]

That first had his neck borked from the fall lol

[twilit escarp]

it's the little "EH!" as he falls off the crate too lmao

[bronze dust]

Ooh

Nah you’re all good

No way

[fallow sentinel]

i asked for a very strong sword

[odd kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/elden-ring-magic-sword-power-up-cell-big-sword-gif-25130362

[bronze dust]

They should, like, add chainswords into half sword

This would be a very good idea and by no means immersion breaking

[fallow sentinel]

how do you downgrader

[bronze dust]

They should add revolvers while they’re at it, then :)

[light stirrup]

Guessing you have a 0.3 backed up?

So that means we can get the janky physics version? 🥹

[grim latch]

Add a codpiece and a spas shotgun so it can be like any video game which includes a large amount of fire arms

add one of those maces with the chain

[waxen lance]

I just cut through metal

[grim latch]

new idea: the mace with that chain

my highscore is 32, working on getting to 100 on my stream. i will be doing that tomorrow probably all day

[waxen lance]

laughs as I open Half Sword Enhancer mod

[red moth]

no mods

[waxen lance]

FUCK

😔

[waxen lance]

100 kills straight huh

[bronze dust]

A flail?

[red moth]

Every time you die, you reset the kill counter down to 0

[waxen lance]

this is veteran right?

the one just before knight?

[fallow sentinel]

only real men have swords like this

[fallow sentinel]

thats Man At Arms

[waxen lance]

FUCK

[fallow sentinel]

this is veteran

[waxen lance]

real men fight with hammers

[light stirrup]

Nothing compares with the candle holder tho

[fallow sentinel]

i did that irl and was wanted for 6 months

[waxen lance]

wait this didnt load a weapon i gotta see what happens if i go into a match

ITS JUST A SWORD

nvm cringe

actually this challenge gonna be EZ, I got a voulge

[grim latch]

i think

those chain maces

[fallow sentinel]

my friend had a bug where he was fighting in the ultimate challenge as the knight class at the beggining to end

it made him re do it

[light stirrup]

I remember cutting willie's limbs off and they were still moving

[fallow sentinel]

i did that the other day i cut off his whole waist down and they were dancing around while he was in pain

[waxen lance]

fun fact if you stab them in the ass ragdoll physics will glitch

[fallow sentinel]

fun fact if u hammer it in with a mace u get a home run

[red moth]

get a polearm stuck in someone while holding it with one hand

and spin

[fallow sentinel]

no hammer it in

[waxen lance]

why am I holding this like this

[fallow sentinel]

yes or they twerk

uh huh

[waxen lance]

also them surrendering doesnt count as a kill right

[red moth]

i say call it, but dont go for the surrender strat

[brazen chasm]

if they surrender just execute them

[waxen lance]

I'm at 10

[brazen chasm]

best method is to go half sword and just thrust into their head

[red moth]

record the whole thing too also

[light stirrup]

Here it is!

[waxen lance]

voulge to victory

[brazen chasm]

or just keep whacking them with your sword

[waxen lance]

FUCK

[dark jay]

A ton of joints there. Physics engine doesn't get dislocation yet.

[waxen lance]

yeah the big billhook is the supreme version of "yeet"

I mortal kombated his ass

billhook hard counters the bastard

(plancon)

[limpid pebble]

billhook headshots are so satisfying on armored units

thats how I beat the Ultimate Challenge

[loud jackal]

the teeth and lips arent aligned very well

[waxen lance]

"IS THIS YOUR CHAMPION?"

Me after beating the baron with the billhook

[limpid pebble]

damn how did you get so much armor

I never find gloves

I always only get leg guard, helmet and cuirass

[shell bronze]

twin axe solos baron easy

[limpid pebble]

never get any other pieces

[loud jackal]

i cant even get to the baron without my game crashing

and my pc aint even bad too

mannn i got a 3060

[waxen lance]

I can run on high and i got a 1650

???

[shell bronze]

7900 xtx high 1440p

unless it gets super busy with multiple dead people and decapitations i get stable 60fps

with framegen 120fps

[loud jackal]

how come when i cut off a mans arm

[limpid pebble]

I had the same problem, what fixed it for me was choosing Gentle gore

[loud jackal]

he comes back at me and kills me

[limpid pebble]

didnt crash a single time when I had gentle gore on

[shell bronze]

i don't find the need for more than 60fps in a game like this so i just lock it there for stability

[loud jackal]

but when he stabs me in the kneecap i die on the spot

[shell bronze]

max gore max blood for me because it's fun

[limpid pebble]

My pc cant handle all the blood drops

[fallow sentinel]

i got 3060 12gb and run high DX12 120fps

[shell bronze]

they can go for like another 5-10 seconds if the damage doesn't insta kill them

[loud jackal]

bro i have 32 gigs

[waxen lance]

same but i lock it at 60fps

[shell bronze]

then they just writhe in pain in one spot until you finish them off

[loud jackal]

yet i crash before i get to baron

[limpid pebble]

1660 TI always running on High, but only Gruesome gore settings, I will turn it down on the Ultimate Challenge because I get Fatal Error!

[fallow sentinel]

i usually crash on baron

[loud jackal]

yall remember when the candlestick was ass

[west shale]

whats the name of rank 7?

[limpid pebble]

if you keep crashing on the Ultimate Challenge keep Gore settings to Gentle, it won't crash anymore

[fallow sentinel]

its always been good i think its worse now

[shell bronze]

on today's episode we have the stare your enemies in the eyes as you drive your sword further into them

[loud jackal]

the long candlestick is what im talking about

if you poke them anyhere with the pointy side its a 1 tap

[limpid pebble]

It's weird, I think what causes the crash is when the bodies turn into a skeleton before disappearing, it messes with the Armor and bugs out

[loud jackal]

i think thats it yeah

[fallow sentinel]

i am also talk9ing about it

dont get confused with me young man

[loud jackal]

tap them on the head and they fall

poke em a bit and they die

[fathom bear]

does anyone have the files for the abyss demo

pleaseee

messiah

[icy plover]

My pc is a good pc and im running on the same sertings as before and now i get fatal error

I didnt before

[soft osprey]

Ping me or dm it to me when you have it written out so we can either pin it or put it in our moderator channel

[limpid pebble]

if you get fatal error on Ultimate Challenge, turn Gore settings to Gentle, it won't happen anymore but at the cost of some vicseral effects

[icy plover]

Yeah im on like veteran

[limpid pebble]

yeah I like how it tears through clothes

[icy plover]

Swr ive had like 7 fatal errors in about 15 mins and i never had that

[finite parrot]

i get the fatal error before the game even opens

like i cant do anything about it because i cant even get to my settings

[limpid pebble]

It has to do with the armor I think, those armor pieces move a lot, especially when you do Samll Buhurts you will start feeling the lag

^

[soft osprey]

To be clear you can keep the gore selection whatever, just turn down blood. No matter what it says in the settings about gore, it’s not actually changing the gore level, just blood, which is seperate from gore

[limpid pebble]

DX11 is the way

[finite parrot]

how do you do that again

[icy plover]

Hold up so when i load up i choose gentle?

[limpid pebble]

Display settings

[soft osprey]

Right click halfsword in your steam library, press properties, in General there’s a line for Launch options. In there type in: -dx11

[limpid pebble]

should be on the bottom

[icy plover]

Doesnt that get rid of my blood AND gore?

[limpid pebble]

you have to restart the game

[limpid pebble]

Thats a solution I found for the Ultimate Challenge

[loud jackal]

can u recover from broken limbs in the baron mode?

[limpid pebble]

you dont have to use that solution

if you are running on Dx12 and crashing

try Dx11

[soft osprey]

If you turn down gore then yes

If you just turn down blood you’re fine

[icy plover]

So i can choose gentle and turn the settings to what i want?

[soft osprey]

The gore selection at the start is seperate from the blood slider

So you can keep gore selection as whatever, but turn down blood. That fixes it for most people

[icy plover]

I see

[limpid pebble]

If you're crashing a lot it's either because you have high gore settings or you're playing on Dx12, for some reason Dx12 made me crash a lot too, once I switched to Dx11 I never crashed a single time, only on the Ultimate Challenge where I had to lower Gore levels to finish it

[soft osprey]

Dx12 is typically for people with good rigs cause of the memory leaks you gotta power through. Most play on dx11

[icy plover]

My blood and gore settings were on max lol

[limpid pebble]

yeah I usually lag on max gore when it's armored fights

the armored pieces have physics too

[icy plover]

Yeah im going on to the baron soon

For my first time

[limpid pebble]

🫡 Good luck

[icy plover]

I locked in fr

[limpid pebble]

I beat him yesterday, he's not too hard, his minions are a pain in the butt though

You need to get a bardiche or a billhook

and start kiting the Willies heads

they drop like flies if you get a good swing in

just make sure to keep distance and circle around them

[icy plover]

My thought is that when im in the armoured fights i should go for a blunt weapon

What will a blade do against steel armour?

[limpid pebble]

Bill hook is actually interesting in that regard

it serves as a blade, a spear, and a hook

if you get the hook between the helmet and armor they go down instantly

and for some reason it happens a lot for me, i just keep getting lucky

the force of the swing alone can knock them off their feet

it's a heavy weapon

[icy plover]

I usually get good hits with the long bat thing with spikes through it

[limpid pebble]

oh yeah you can definitely use that too

[icy plover]

Its like a shield and a spear in one

[shell bronze]

it's fun fighting ai with minimum damage taken on their part

[icy plover]

And i run through bosses like they nothing

[limpid pebble]

remember always aim high when you swing, one hit and they go down like a ton of bricks

[icy plover]

Good idea i usually aim for the waist or legs

[pallid isle]

Why did they change the physics

[raven plover]

tis but a flesh wound

[limpid pebble]

that works too

[icy plover]

Just a scrape we can patch up

[limpid pebble]

sometimes a good waist shot kills them

[icy plover]

Yeah i have no idea how to aim good though

[limpid pebble]

me neither 😂

[icy plover]

I used to swing my arms and hope for the best

[shell bronze]

you get used to it
turn sensitivity down

start practicing how to swing for the head

the cheat code to winning this game is polearm headshots

get consistent at them and you win 9/10

[limpid pebble]

momentum too

[shell bronze]

yeah, like sidestepping to add to your swings

like this

[icy plover]

Average uk day

[limpid pebble]

the grip for the weapons are always relaxed, when you move your arms you can notice the weapons spring around a bit, it looks flimsy but you can use it to your advantage, think of it as momentum

[icy plover]

What settings yall reckon are best rn tho

I like the blood and gore but i like it smooth

[shell bronze]

lower sensitivity, gruesome

medium dx11 for older gpu and dx12 newer

[limpid pebble]

somebody yesterday told me they play on 600 dpi, when I tried that it actually helped a lot

[shell bronze]

low sensitivity is how you truly understand the game's movement

and how to swing right

[icy plover]

I usually swing right tbh

[finite parrot]

theres like actual strategy to this game?

[icy plover]

Of course

Im on my display menu rn what settings should i do?

All the way down

[loud jackal]

can someone tell me how to grapple it looks pretty cool

[icy plover]

Graphics res frame rate display mode and stuff

[icy plover]

Fr i wanna know

[limpid pebble]

for sensitivity, if you go to the controls page, right above the slider there is a small little splotch on the page, I always set my sensitivy right below that small circle, right below the letter O in Mouse

[icy plover]

I done that

Apparently it helps you control your movements

I had both arms cut off earlier and i had to slam him into a fence and kick him

[limpid pebble]

lmaooo how did you even survive that

[icy plover]

Not sure i felt like some sort of gigachad after fr like i beat a militia with no arms

Luck ig?

Word

It says here “DirectX”

What that mean?

[limpid pebble]

Display page

[icy plover]

On display menu in options

[limpid pebble]

if you change it to DX11 it helps a lot

[icy plover]

What about VSync?

Aint ever heard of that before

[limpid pebble]

that doesnt really matter in my experience

[icy plover]

Enable or disable?

[limpid pebble]

only in multiplayer games

[finite parrot]

why are the npcs so fucking good

[limpid pebble]

lmao

[icy plover]

I use borderless display mode is that fine?

[limpid pebble]

sometimes I use windowed mode when i'm lagging

[icy plover]

Im tryna make it as smooth as possible

What should my frame rate be?

[limpid pebble]

I leave mine on 60

[icy plover]

Mine was at 90 lol

[pine folio]

I seem to have bugged my game permanantly
i no longer get the damage markers (such as a res screen, or those funny red tears to indicate damaged limbs)
is there a fix?? :(

[icy plover]

What about my resolution? I use 1920x1080

[pine folio]

where's that?
i don't think so

ah

found it

[icy plover]

And my graphics are at medium should i change it?

[limpid pebble]

if u have a low end pc like me, sometimes I go windowed mode and use 1280x resolution, it helps a lot, even in other videogames

[pine folio]

it was on normal before, but I touched the slider and that seemed to fix it
ty!

[feral sundial]

are you gonna be able to cave in skulls

[limpid pebble]

honestly medium & high run the same for me, medium just looks worse

[icy plover]

Im about to check my performance rn

[carmine bobcat]

I miss the kind of sandbox fighting mode from the earlier builds. Just setting the amount of people on each team and going for it

[pine folio]

also
is there some sort of like
life leech mechanic in the abyss?
i seem to regain health after brutal murder :3

[icy plover]

When yall reckon they will add maps?

[carmine bobcat]

Still waiting for that castle map they keep showing to come back

[loud jackal]

i just got fatal error message but my game is still moving

[gaunt sundial]

SO, anyone knows if the game gets more janky with more atempts per play session? im spamming baron challenge and after 4-5 atempts my guy cant seem to be able to run properly

legs get all tangled together

average at best

[pine folio]

i have found for me. on any boss attempt, my character forgets their legs exist half the time and they have the balance of a toddler

[limpid pebble]

press W before pressing Shift when you start

[icy plover]

Same here but im so close to baron

[pine folio]

let that man use his Q-tip goddamnit

[loud jackal]

"Youre just pushing the earwax deeper"

[pine folio]

so real

[magic sable]

does anyone know if this game is gonna have multiplayer at some point?

[pine folio]

anything bout online?

wait can you play half sword with a controller

i think my funniest clip is going up against the soldier boss, just BARELY being able to surrender, saying "Thank god, I almost lost all my progress there" as I entered a single combat round
and then proceeding to get one tapped a second later

i once dismantled like a lego piece because the sharp side of an axe poked me :P

if the scythe gets behind you, it's over
cut in half

ok well my footage didn't transfer properly

look in game footage at the link I sent

(for context, I had player damage all the way to minimum)

[last forum]

how do enter that big arena? do you need to mod the game ?

ok

ty

[rancid sluice]

i am progressively getting worse with polearms

why am i torturing myself like this

[pine folio]

literally my character is an idiot

a disgrace

he forgot how to pick up things

he had his hands bruised

one with a slight cut

no but like

he did pick up a weapon

(i'm at the final tier

he picked it up

immediately dropped it

and dived headfirst into the ground and knocked himself out

[rancid sluice]

me too

[worn heron]

i am once again asking for appropriate screenshots to coincide with headache types 🗣️

[icy plover]

Last boss before the baron guys!

[pine folio]

favourite pastime activity

[icy plover]

Im onto the baron!

[pine folio]

the legs get worse

the tability

stability

poof

[lusty oracle]

i am the god of using the halberd, i use the martial art of missing swings and hitting willies with the stick haft and winning anyways

[pine folio]

halberds are amazing
having range is almost always optimal

realism :3

[lusty oracle]

i am the stick meister, i cant hit the actual bladed part

[deft otter]

The peasant boss with the scythe gotta be the hardest boss. His scythe has level 5 sharpness with mega range

[lusty oracle]

simply use the god of peasants, the mighty pitchfork

[deft otter]

oh i use the pitchfork but the scythe still has more range

my go-to for him is just trying to stab his arms and make him unable to swing or hold the scythe

[lusty oracle]

me gambling everytime i use the half sword stance on long swords, willie will hold it like a flag pole for some reason

[lusty oracle]

[worn heron]

who can hook me up

we makin willmeme

[pine folio]

.

:P

[icy plover]

I beat the baron guys!

[pine folio]

HEY

[pine folio]

I DID THAT FIRST

[pine folio]

AHH

[dreamy rampart]

I just got to it

Got to round 7

[waxen lance]

[dreamy rampart]

How many rounds are there cus I kept going and it didn't stop

[dreamy rampart]

Nice

What hapoenes after?

Ahh

Cool

I will try again

And again

Until I stop being assulted

[worn heron]

perhaps #1365031142297702430 is the place for u..

[waxen lance]

nah I use all sorts of things

[worn heron]

lame excuse to not want to post in the headbutt honchos

https://tenor.com/view/fred-durst-limp-bizkit-nu-metal-nu-metal-gif-9491384260627428796

lmao

[dreamy rampart]

Holy fuck my game keeps fuvking crashing when I'm at the last fucking park

They really need to fix that shit cus I'm getting so fuvking pissed

[gaunt sundial]

reseted my progress to see if i get the hang of the game back by progressing through the gauntlet again

reached veteran in 2nd go

died 2nd fight instantly to an enemy with a polehammer which somehow pierced me while i was wailing on him while he was stumbling

did not have time to exit to menu to save progress

send to abyss, first box had that weirdly shaped axe, enemy spawned with big candlestick, insta hits me on head and i lose all my progress

10/10 would do again tomorrow

[knotty wind]

anybody else explicitly likes to finish the baron off when you beat the gauntlet?

bastard will not die to regular blunt trauma but when he's on the ground you can squeeze a sword right between his armor with enough trial and error

after how annoying his shitty trial is, it's always a treat

[raven fractal]

HELP I SPAWNED NAKED

MY SWORD IS GONE

[bronze dust]

goofy glitch lmao

I've had it happen too

[calm fable]

when will they do a proper optimization?

[hidden mulch]

turning blood off worked for me and lowering gore to medium

[rancid sluice]

probably on early access

man I love the mode that leads up to the baron

[tepid geyser]

I sure do love bonking my stick against a dude for 5 hours

only for him to knock me down

[red moth]

there are doubters among us

[lavish estuary]

gonna try it rn

[red moth]

record :)

[lavish estuary]

let me see if my clipping app has a record feature

if not, i'll set up obs

[red moth]

i believe in the skill of a fellow halfswordian.
god speed brother

[lavish estuary]

I also believe

getting obs ready

[wanton hemlock]

he was getting a bit overzealous

so i had to uh

teach em a lesson

so to speak

(i broke his fucking arm)

[lavish estuary]

here we go

this concludes the run 😦

[red moth]

lmao just keep going!
and remember, dont let anything stand in your way.

[lavish estuary]

unfortunately, i'm ass

xd

I'll try again tmrw, I planned on this life/run being my last for the night

[rancid sluice]

i'd be much happier with this if willy didn't go spaghetti-arms with the spear in the middle of the fight

[wraith laurel]

So I’ve noticed that after you reach max rank, if you select the small Buhurt (3v3) your teammates also attack you

[fast bramble]

Lmaoooo, I had one like that a bit ago too

I don't mess with the damage sliders

[placid wing]

why does my willie stop running seemingly randomly?

[rancid sluice]

there's something so funny about letting go of the weapons when you land a hit

[fast bramble]

The weird thing where he seemingly trips?

[rough crater]

He gets tired

[fast bramble]

Or is it just him stopping running, because he does get exhausted

[placid wing]

well no the screen doesn't become dark around the edges

he just fuckin

slows down into a walk very quickly

[rough crater]

They are dicks that are jelly of your swag

[fast bramble]

Does he sort of dip down a bit too? Because I've had something like that

[wraith laurel]

😭😭

[rough crater]

Willie has a lot going on in his life. Sometimes he’s gotta take it slow for a little bit

[placid wing]

yeah

[rough crater]

Haters fr fr

[placid wing]

yeah but then someone stabs his leg off

[rough crater]

Such is the life of Willie

[fast bramble]

It'll mess me up hard during swings sometimes, not usually while I'm running. I'll hold shift to get myself in a stance and Willie just gives up for a second and almost collapses

[lethal crag]

they see you as the overall threat since you’re the biggest

[red moth]

wait ive had this happen to me too, he gets stuck on like nothing

[fast bramble]

Yeah

[red moth]

its almost like the pathing thinks theres something in front of you

[fast bramble]

I think someone else mentioned it a while ago too

[fast bramble]

Considering Willie is just an NPC we possess it's possible it's something like that

[naive holly]

@fast bramble I didn't for the longest time then I turned them both down jjuuuust a smidge. Always even tho.

[red moth]

could it be left over detectors/hitboxes or whatever?

🤔

[woven oyster]

i finally beat the gauntlet after 2 weeks

[fast bramble]

Willie brain getting snagged on an if, then statement

[placid wing]

yep it's happening very frequently for me now

fucker just starts walking like a crab sometimes

[red moth]

https://tenor.com/view/coding-what-does-boolean-mean-gif-11550719031942041980

[fast bramble]

Real footage of behind the scenes Willie

(He grows hair off-camera)

[red moth]

wait he actually looks like old willie

oh my god halfsword games you need to find that man

[fast bramble]

I honestly thought it was actually Willie until I saw the hair

[knotty wind]

hitting a man hard enough to literally send his helmet flying off is hilarious

[placid wing]

clip?

[knotty wind]

the baron's polearm is ridiculously unwieldy but man it is fun actually

[knotty wind]

i ain't used medal in a while

i'll play a little while and if it happens again i'll send it

[placid wing]

fair enough thats how it usually goes for me

I chopped a mans head off by getting up off the floor and waving my sword through his skull in the process

then I turned on OBS

[bronze dust]

I'm curious, what colors/perk do you guys usually fly in gauntlet?

I take faster stamina regen

[placid wing]

less damage

[knotty wind]

i typically do HRE for stamina regen

[bronze dust]

hre?

[knotty wind]

holy roman empire

[bronze dust]

fair lol

[knotty wind]

they're all based off of real medieval kingdoms

[bronze dust]

oh that's cool lol

[knotty wind]

i forget which ones but the yellow one is the hre

[knotty wind]

it often happens when you play with the baron's polearm

incase you wanna try to replicate it

i've once had it happen twice in one carnage match

[kind igloo]

from left to right they are hre, france, england, and im not sure about the 4th one

[knotty wind]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kf5qOQEY9FKu4wCEk?invite=cr-MSxLeWUsMjEwMjk2MDU4 i got it. it usually flies farther, but the clip works.

[amber shoal]

best polehammer round i've had

[placid wing]

oh damn

[silent stag]

Is the EA going to be a duel simulator like the demo?

[regal finch]

How did you customise or is that just what you can get?

Also is there a way to just repeatadly play the last stand mode?

[dreamy rampart]

This game fuvking sucks I can't do shit

Sorry I overeacted

I can't get past this shitty ass challenge bro

[upper wigeon]

which one you stuck on bro?

oh the challenge

[dreamy rampart]

The last one

[upper wigeon]

sorry still have the dumb

[dreamy rampart]

Baron

[red moth]

D: thats the hardest one

[dreamy rampart]

I know and these 4 guys keep fuvking me bro

[upper wigeon]

it is the ultimate one, arguably

[dreamy rampart]

What's the best weapon you can use fkr them

[red moth]

polearm!

[upper wigeon]

ah yes, the 4. range is best

billhook is top contender for most

[dreamy rampart]

I use the spikey polearm

[red moth]

this is a good one to use, but billhook is like one step above it imo

[dreamy rampart]

I'll try to find one

[upper wigeon]

problem with planceon (?) is you do have to be a little closer so chance to get injured is high

[dreamy rampart]

But what i don't get is that you whack the fuvk outta them 20 times and they 1 tap you

[upper wigeon]

it's because it's ultimate

:3

[dreamy rampart]

I got to ultimate without dying once

Why is it so hard tho

I mean I get ti

Ultimate

[upper wigeon]

those weren't ultimate :3

[red moth]

i genuinely think they arbitrarily upped the difficulty by making the ai a bit tougher. it adds a ton of challenge though

[upper wigeon]

you have to lock in and so does luck

[dreamy rampart]

Hear me out, turn player damage to max, npc d.age to 0

[real tendon]

[lusty oracle]

noo my aura willie clips are corrupted

[true zealot]

yeah ive got a bunch of strangling clips and shit

[lusty oracle]

accidentally blocked a lot of strikes with a long sword

looks like it was coreographd

[solar salmon]

I think i know what their gonna do in the next update

Basically

The gauntlet will be more in depth

N shit

And there will be money to buy new armor

It wont be like the current gauntlet

[lime phoenix]

and customizable weapons

i cant wait to just make worlds heaviest messer

its gonna be delightful

only if they make stabbing sliiiiiightly better lol

or add tendons

[lusty oracle]

the only salvageable clip was the least impressive one, bully willyy

deflecting spears are fun

[proven verge]

Lol thats why you cant stab

[proven verge]

There is potential in this one

[lusty oracle]

the quick snaps

[proven verge]

Yes yes, remember to commit once you hear that ping of their weapon being swatted or parried.

[burnt smelt]

I kinda wish there was a checkpoint system for half-sword.

Tired of having to do beggar and peasant just to get back to commoner

[proven verge]

nuuuu

[lusty oracle]

the game aint even half done, im pretty sure the full game would play a lot differently than the tier it is now

[burnt smelt]

Fair 'nuff

[lusty oracle]

i find turning off lock on in a group fight easier than trying to fight the lockon switching

[proven verge]

You can still fight groups with lockons, you just catch them with the end of your swings

[dapper trail]

hey

i did the wapow

wapowapow

[storm storm]

absolute cinema

[burnt smelt]

Anyways how do I get those stabs to stick?

Been struggling to stab, and also struggling to whack people overhead

[dapper trail]

stabbing shouldnt be raw, there is some timing to it, i think.

show me a stab aginst an enemy and ill see if anythings wrong

i dont think you can post here since you arent level 2

so post your clip in game footatge

[burnt smelt]

I... don't have any recording software.

[tawdry vale]

Blood and gore are off, so idfk what would cause this

[naive holly]

Everyone has gamebar

[tawdry vale]

I fucking love this game

[naive holly]

Win+alt+g

[naive holly]

Feels mostly like a matter of timing, there's not much directional control you get, so sometimes you have to use the movement keys and stop/step back to aim upwards a bit.

Resetting your lock on to being higher on the body helps, for some reason it defaults to the knees.

And yes, timing -- when the opening is there, make sure your sword is where it needs to be, then full send with alt.

Point is -- it's not about aiming the stab it's about aiming and angling the body so the stab follows though

[dapper trail]

and maybe finding a decent opening

you covered it well

[serene tulip]

we killed eachother simultaneously. Glorious

[naive holly]

Mutually Assured Destruction :D

[serene tulip]

Just did it again. Man Holdfast while drunk is hard

[fierce wedge]

halsord

[serene tulip]

literally me

[fierce wedge]

what

[pine folio]

so is there limb health in halfsword

or does the player health slider also affect limbs

[turbid atlas]

not that i know of

[maiden umbra]

Bro im not tryna see anymore of these bevors bruh

[nimble delta]

idk how many people know this but if you have the OVRDTH selector and you choose the Baron in free play, you can use the selector before choosing a match after the training dummy to put whatever loadout you want on the big Baron size character
