halfsword-chat-⚔

[flat gorge]

just practice more

[quiet spear]

it shouldn't be that bad, you'll get use to actually using the lower sens and use more footwork to generate force

[dreamy phoenix]

this update totally fixed the overheads for me actually lol
if you started playing just recently, you'll get the hang of it
I'm not sure if lowering sensitivity is good advice, I'm playing with max sensitivity and I'm doing well for the most part

[thick trellis]

i even made the enemy tougher and they pose no threat anymore cuz they can't take me down easily anymore

[hearty stone]

was that a fucking butterfly my god

[hallow sentinel]

How long is the learning curve for this game

[hearty stone]

infinite

[dreamy phoenix]

I don't know, it depends???

[dreamy phoenix]

yeah this

[hearty stone]

you better name yourself something less line "emperor" and more like "broom"

[sleek valve]

this yeah
even i just learnt that spinning attacks somewhat work and it's fun but it isn't always reliable

[hallow sentinel]

Bruh

[sleek valve]

takes alot of stamina too if you're gonna use slow motion with it

but I had multiple times where the opponent just hacked my back and killed me mid-spin

[hearty stone]

CQC time

[hallow sentinel]

Is this a common issue or is it just a skill thing

[hearty stone]

got something going here

[dreamy phoenix]

just swing the weapon around and try to figure out what works
there's a training dummy for a reason

weapons have different guards in different positions, it's good to familiarise yourself with em and just see what swings do

if you need more precision for hits, using slowmo is a good idea imo, I don't really use it all that much though

mess around with sensitivity and find what feels best for you

[hearty stone]

yeah you'll learn everything just messing around mostly, it just takes along time

ask questions if you have specifics

[cerulean flax]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-tenacious-d-jack-black-kyle-gass-we-are-but-men-gif-14559414

[sleek valve]

(Or just leave it at middle or max and forget about the sensitivity like I did lol...)

[sleek valve]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-on-men-we-are-but-men-tenacious-d-jack-black-gif-18357875

[hallow sentinel]

How do I preform overheads? When I move the mode down to goes to the side

[hearty stone]

shhhhhhhhh

moe are you holding down the button

[dreamy phoenix]

in this discord it depends on who you're asking lmao

"skill issue" is the most common phrase I've seen here though

and it does apply to most of the game

[sleek valve]

one sec let me verify this

[dreamy phoenix]

fuck ultimate challenge in particular

[dreamy phoenix]

looks good to me

[cerulean flax]

man it took me hundreds of deaths but i finally beat the ultimate challenge

[silent torrent]

The void or the gauntlet?

[dreamy phoenix]

one trick that worked for me is flicking the mouse up and down

[cerulean flax]

gauntlet

killed baron

[fallow plover]

DAMN MY GAME ISN'T WORKING

[dreamy phoenix]

the overheads are much easier with this update though, you'll get the hang of it probably

[hearty stone]

whoops

[hallow sentinel]

The most frustrating part is when I swing the sword and the enemy is somehow to far a away for the blade to reach him, although I just hit him a second ago in the same spot.

[dreamy phoenix]

like, you should do it pretty fast but not so fast that it doesn't register

[hallow sentinel]

Works but only 1-5 hits

[dreamy phoenix]

max sensitivity rocks imo

[hallow sentinel]

What is the normal/avg sensitivity for this game

[sleek valve]

There's so many youtubers that have tutorials that tells me to do middle sensitivity, BUT FUCK YOU. I WANNA DO MY SPIN ATTACKS IN FREE MODE

[dreamy phoenix]

it depends, different guides tell different stuff

find out what works best for you, I like my sensitivity high

[gaunt cedar]

Practice the way you want it to happen

[cerulean flax]

i do a little lower sens personally

[gaunt cedar]

Sometimes you have to compromise to

[dreamy phoenix]

now that I think of it, overheads are generally hard to land in this game

side swings are more friendly most of the time

[gaunt cedar]

Definintely

[sleek valve]

Yeah you don't have the same kind of 6th sense you do irl where you can sense your limb's positioning

[hallow sentinel]

I thought overhead were the default when using a sword

[dreamy phoenix]

don't get me started on diagonal swings, they're odd

[cerulean flax]

wait does this imply theres a specific challenge within the void?

[silent torrent]

I mean half the enemies are wearing helmets

[silent torrent]

Kill the baron?

[hallow sentinel]

Yep they don’t go down you just switch shoulders

[dreamy phoenix]

if you watch different historical European martial arts vids, there's also a bunch of side swings and stabs

[silent torrent]

Oh yeah for diagonals you still flick the mouse down

Just setup for a diagonal and flick down

[dreamy phoenix]

the sword attack angles are insane sometimes

[cerulean flax]

oh so you kill the baron in the void?

[dreamy phoenix]

oo cool

[cerulean flax]

i havent even tried

[gaunt cedar]

Thatscrazy

[dreamy phoenix]

yeah but the axe exists

its blunt damage is fucked up

but it's still kind of hard to land a satisfying overhead with it

[cerulean flax]

is it harder to kill the baron in the void versus the gauntlet?

[dreamy phoenix]

you can graze or straight up decimate somebody's shoulder though

[hallow sentinel]

I am winning semi-constantly but I think it’s mostly luck and not on purpose

[dreamy phoenix]

you can pull off cool stuff in this game consistently, definitely

[silent torrent]

I feel this

[dreamy phoenix]

it still involves some luck though

[fallow plover]

Guys help me😭

[dreamy phoenix]

one moment you do the coolest parry ever, the next moment you get destroyed by a spear

[hallow sentinel]

@dreamy phoenix when you do a right sweep followed in by a left sweep do you change hands mid way (press ‘X’)?

[sleek valve]

Unless your definition of cool stuff is reverse grip sword

[dreamy phoenix]

with the sword? Probably not

people use X with polearms mostly

[hallow sentinel]

An axe or long weapons

[silent torrent]

I feel like my lock on cam keeps drifting down

So I cant hit heads unless I reset every 5s

[dreamy phoenix]

with long weapons ye, I feel like it's kind of necessary

this or just switch to RMB and clobber them lmao

I'm not good with polearms

[hallow sentinel]

What is you lock strength I have mine off or at 1

[dreamy phoenix]

man I wish

[jolly dome]

I just stabbed someone in the leg and they didnt crumple over and die immediately

[dreamy phoenix]

I need to do blunt damage with the sword grip Halfsword devteam PLS

[jolly dome]

impossible

[hallow sentinel]

They are by far the easiest weapons to use for me, I get a lot of decantations using them, but I am horrible at stabbing

[sleek valve]

Mordhau grip

[dreamy phoenix]

yossss

I wonder if it's even possible with their physical engine though

[hallow sentinel]

Does the stick part of a spear (the shaft) do physical DMG

[sleek valve]

This is the mordhau btw for anyone who doesn't atleast have a basic understanding of swords

[sleek valve]

It knocks me out in ultimate challenge even after the update so much

[dreamy phoenix]

sharp edges don't damage the person that holds the weapon, from what I've gathered, so it should be alright

[dreamy phoenix]

anything does damage if it has enough momentum

I love hitting babies with my double buckler loadout

[proven verge]

yes

[sleek valve]

This isn't like blade and sorcery where the staff somehow does basically no blunt damage even if you run at 5000 speed

Yes I tested it

[silent torrent]

How tf did someone just slit my throat through the blue armour

[dreamy phoenix]

running at 5000 speed in VR is fucked up ngl

[humble bloom]

the latest and greatest custom weapon available on the nexus by the great fiddison

[sleek valve]

I noticed my staves are consistently doing no damage so I had to test it, plus I am immune to motion sickness. I played spider lair before.

[proven verge]

There is a gap there

[hearty stone]

this is one of those things that seems stupid then turns out to have been a real judicial dueling tool

[sleek valve]

Spider lair was actually one of the first games I went into when I started out in vr

[silent torrent]

on the blue??

[dreamy phoenix]

wait it's a real weapon? Damn

[hearty stone]

no I was just saying

it seems like that

judicial duels especially had all sorts of whimsical nonsense

[dreamy phoenix]

oh ye, pff, it does seem like something a guy might pick for a duel

[proven verge]

All of the armor in the game has gaps just like they do historically

[hallow sentinel]

I kicked the spicky club/spear head weapon that is in my hand by accidentally pressing space and it pierced the enemy’s heart, why do I do all the cool shit by accident?🤣

[sleek valve]

I can already imagine the one person doing dual wield full longswords in reverse grip on a judicial duel and immediately died

[dreamy phoenix]

I imagine that all commoner fights in Half-Sword are judicial duels cuz Willies seem much more cowardly there

like, they give up even if the wound is not that critical

[sleek valve]

And OUR Willie is just a REALLY determined duelist

[proven verge]

Every tier past commoner has gambeson which has slashing resistance and is actually pretty good at its job

[hearty stone]

but higher tiers will keep fighting even with a whole arm cut off

[sleek valve]

Yeah it made me want to slice myself in the body whennI met these dudes on ultimate challenge

[hearty stone]

boop

[dreamy phoenix]

this or they'll just stand around and scream at you

[cerulean flax]

i also have the problem of drifting downwards and having to reset my lockon. are you saying that turning off lock strength or reducing it helps with that?

[hearty stone]

Val right? I'm like LAY DOWN WILLIE I DONT WANNA DO IT

[dreamy phoenix]

I usually try to knock em out lol

[proven verge]

I have it on max so I can just do cool shit like this

[hallow sentinel]

Is the lock on automatic?

[sleek valve]

Head bonk

[proven verge]

Whenever you hold your mouse buttons down lock on is enabled

[silent torrent]

Yeah but the blue does not have a gap big enough for a sword at the neck part

[dreamy phoenix]

a bit of a psychopath even

[proven verge]

You'd be surprised

[hallow sentinel]

Is it for the camera or the weapon edge?

[silent torrent]

At least not the actual long sharp bit of the blade, not talking about the point

[proven verge]

Camera, but most bladed weapons have auto parry.

[dreamy phoenix]

how do I use autoparry on greatswords btw?

[sleek valve]

Auro parry? Aura parry???

[dreamy phoenix]

I still haven't figured it out

[hallow sentinel]

What is your lock on set to in the settings? The strength level?

[sleek valve]

I'm not saying that ever again

[proven verge]

Again, max.

[dreamy phoenix]

I'm just standing there
aura parrying

[proven verge]

Imagine it's a russian saying it

[tropic valve]

im going to scream

my discord wont move

now it can

[hallow sentinel]

Is it useful to have it that high? Does it not make it hard for you especially in battle royals?

[dreamy phoenix]

I feel you

[little verge]

It really depends on the player. I like my lock on settings to be almost off.

[dreamy phoenix]

my lock settings are default

[proven verge]

Once you know your weapon range, lock on is not a hindrance if any thing it's an aid.

[onyx harbor]

[broken zodiac]

I had the game unupdated

[little verge]

[About Fatal Crashes:](#updates message)
We’re aware of the fatal crashes, especially during the Baron fight. These issues stem from a third-party Unreal Engine plugin we’ve been using for some of the blood and gore effects.
While we initially tried to debug it, we’ve hit its limitations. That’s why we’re now developing our own in-house solution, which will be ready for the Early Access release — offering both improved stability and next-level wounds for you to inflict on poor Willie.

[dreamy phoenix]

get that rtx 6090

[broken zodiac]

Better the 6969

[manic void]

I feel like every time the devs update the game they change the sounds.

[dreamy phoenix]

radeon rx 6969

[sleek valve]

Oh so they're making a blood and gore effect system from the ground up

[dreamy phoenix]

yep

If this crowd likes the game Watch Armored MMA on YouTube

I already did and I'm tired of the sword and shield vs sword and shield matchups it's just boring

Atleast if it's longsword vs longsword even that would be cool

[ionic agate]

an npc just cut off my hand with a flick of his sword and it was such a clean cut to

[sleek valve]

but it's even cooler for something like sword and shield vs rapier and dagger

THAT is how you do AMMA

[onyx harbor]

erm whats the code for the bosses, specifically the commoner boss

[sleek valve]

Or I guess not rapier but a smallseord but you get the pojnt

[onyx harbor]

uhhh shortsword

[sleek valve]

Were saying the same thing trust

[onyx harbor]

they have one

they have like 2

broadsword and shortsword

along with the other similar sized swords

[dawn steppe]

have yall ever gotten immortal enemies in half sword before

Now you made me want to make a full length broadsword 100 pound paper replica

dont skull react me bro i was in fist fight for a full 5 minutes with this guy that just wouldnt go down 😭

it's more floaty for sure

Half-Sword physics are more fun

[glad sparrow]

They could update the arena with traps. Kind of open up more strategy in high armored fights

[proven verge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_mI0VHowsc This is probably the closest thing to halfsword even in development right now

[dreamy phoenix]

Gladio Mori felt more technical to me when I played the demo

[sleek valve]

It's a pretty simple design but it holds up well
Yes it's currently the length of a dagger or a really short shortsword right now but I'll see if I can extend it with my version three

[dreamy phoenix]

you can't just fuck around and find out

[sleek valve]

This is random shit I make at school for fun

[sour spade]

Me and my buddy made a crucible out of brick and an air mattress air pump lol

try adding wood sticks to it

And I'm not about to sacrifice my rulers to make a toy paper sword

[sour spade]

I streamed it for my friends in my personal server and they stuck with me until knight level. Rooted me on through the good times and bad times. Had like 4 abyss trips and 2 were in veteran

[sleek valve]

That's why I used 100 pound paper

Best alternative to actually stuffing wood sticks in the sword

explode dick

It's also very short

[slender spear]

So im trying to use the OVRDTH selector mod as well as the vicious weapon pack and i've set everything up It doesnt seem to have worked

[stoic sedge]

the load out only loads when you respawn

[soft osprey]

Foiled, more like, foiled. Amirite

[slender spear]

so I play normally into i get the weapon from thee vicious weapon pack?

[stoic sedge]

I don't think the selector works with the pack

rhe selector only has premade loadouts

[slender spear]

the pack states that it requires the selector mod to work

[stoic sedge]

hm

[slender spear]

it has a bunch of cool custom weapons I wanna try

the guy has a yt channel but none of his videos talk about the mod

[stoic sedge]

im assuming you put the loadout files in the selector's saves folder right

[fluid bloom]

I cut off his hand and he refused to give up for like 3 minutes. Just stood there... Screaming. Then I kicked his leg out from his leg, so he screamed for like 40 more seconds. Then gave up

[slender spear]

it says to just plop the care2share folder into pooled_saves and thats it

[glacial cloak]

cant wait for more polearms

i need a glaive

[stoic sedge]

does the folder not show up in the selector

[slender spear]

it does

But I loaded up half sword and tryed to randomize a loadout it wouldn't show any new weapons

[fluid bloom]

I need a quarterstaff

[normal sigil]

Nvm

[stoic sedge]

oh you have to keep the selector open and launch the game

[solemn wedge]

anyone else like me? lol #game-footage-🎮🎥 message

[slender spear]

ok let me try

[glacial cloak]

we have fauchards and voulges, but no bardiche or glaive etc

[stoic sedge]

you double click on a loadout and it loads in the game and you spawn in boom you got the loadout

[fluid bloom]

WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A BIG STICK BRO
But we have BIG STICK with METAL END

[slender spear]

ok

[glacial cloak]

goedendag would be funny

big stick with a spike

[normal sigil]

would like a more stabby billhook

we have stabby sword variants

[brisk sage]

is it suposed to say demo 0.5?

[normal sigil]

gimme

[glacial cloak]

idk if the polearm with the curve is supposed to be a billhook or a fauchard

[slender spear]

once I double click the loadout what do i do?

[stoic sedge]

you just spawn in or respawn

[fluid bloom]

I think it's supposed to be a beakbill or whatever it's called

[normal sigil]

If we're saying fauchard then i want a billhook put in lool

[slender spear]

you mean the game automatically loads itself?

[stoic sedge]

yeah

[glacial cloak]

more lower rank polearms would be cool

[fluid bloom]

We def got a bill in the game

[slender spear]

doesnt seem to work

[fluid bloom]

I want the worlds stronget polearm: the pole's arm

[glacial cloak]

we have pollaxes and polehammers (technically the same thing but wtv) for higher armor, we need bardiches, glaives, billhooks and shit for lower tiers

[slender spear]

oh wait i think i was doing it wrong holdon

[stoic sedge]

do you have the old version before you swapped over to demo from playtest

[slender spear]

no

[glacial cloak]

and i dont think we have a proper partisan spear

just regular spears

[fluid bloom]

Chat I've seen enough

We need more mining tools for the peasants

[slender spear]

so when I open the care2share folder and Im double clicking the loadouts the game still wont load

[stoic sedge]

we mine and we craft

[stoic sedge]

I'm trying to figure this out too hold on

[fluid bloom]

Chickenjockey...

[slender spear]

The mod is poorly explained

[glacial cloak]

i think it might actually be a bill-guisarme thats already in the game? idk my brain is hurting from looking at graphs of polearms on google

[slender spear]

this is why I prefer the steam workshop for mods. Its simple and to the point

[stoic sedge]

it works fine for me right now

[runic shell]

quick story... doing really good into the ultimate challenge i would say about 2/3 of the way through games crashes

[normal sigil]

Regardles of what we're calling it

[slender spear]

can you show me what you're doing?

[normal sigil]

version of the same, with bigger spike

[stoic sedge]

try having the selector open before you open the game

[slender spear]

ok

[fluid bloom]

We def have that, I think he means this

[slender spear]

im booting the game up

[stoic sedge]

i did a fresh install put the weapon pack folder in there, launched halfsword, in the menu i double click whatever load out, and then i just hop into a duel

[glacial cloak]

thats a fauchard i think

[fluid bloom]

Which is def nota Fauchar based upon the blade I'm seeing on fauchards on google

[fluid bloom]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3c/Fauchard.jpg

Nah

[slender spear]

so load up the game, click the loadout I want and go into a duel?

[glacial cloak]

polearms are confusing mb

[stoic sedge]

yep

[slender spear]

hey it worked thanks

[glacial cloak]

the voulge is the more pointy axe like thingy thats attached sorta like a bardige

[slender spear]

Once I save a loadout how do I load in game?

[fluid bloom]

Pretty sure this is the bill-guisarme

[glacial cloak]

yeah

[fluid bloom]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Recordofeuropean03lakiuoft_0158.jpg/250px-Recordofeuropean03lakiuoft_0158.jpg

[stoic sedge]

can you not find the loadout you save

[fluid bloom]

Chat which guisarme are you

[slender spear]

No I can

[hallow sentinel]

https://youtube.com/shorts/hHWrI_5W9Ng?si=7Y7VMuTMVVvXp7T_ feels like my gameplay rn

[stoic sedge]

just do the exact same thing then double click whatever name you chose and respawn

[slender spear]

Ok last thing I wanna ask is there another mod where I can fully customize my clothing and weapons and save?

[tacit prawn]

Dude just put the npc at min damage

[glacial cloak]

afaik a glaive has a curved blade with the sharp edge on the convex side, and a fauchard has a curved blade with the sharp edge on the concave side

[stoic sedge]

your best bet is the trainer mod

you can spawn armor pieces

[slender spear]

But do I have to randomize my loadout or no?

[lethal pecan]

striking feel different for anyone else?

[stoic sedge]

no

[slender spear]

cool I'll download that later, but for now Ill use my Langemesser

thanks for the help

[glacial cloak]

half sword also needs a kriegsmesser

[tacit prawn]

big willie

[fluid bloom]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Sabel_-_shamshir_-_Livrustkammaren_-_77113.tif/lossy-page1-200px-Sabel_-_shamshir_-_Livrustkammaren_-_77113.tif.jpg

Shamshir too

Curved Swords

Are cool

[glacial cloak]

or a saber, if half sword wants to stick to jsut european weapons

[fluid bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/bigger-willy-wiener-shallowhal-gif-19830706

[glacial cloak]

which technically sabers come from the shamshir iirc

i want a two handed messer, a one handed messer might be too similar to the falchion

[fluid bloom]

I want a bollock knife too

which isn't even a big ask, they were very popular in the timeframe of the game

[robust hedge]

what is the warstaff y'all?

[silent stag]

I think there is a mod that adds one

And other weapons

[fluid bloom]

If you could add any one weapon [historical] into the game, what would it be and why

[robust hedge]

like it would be awesome if there was a warstaff

but i dont see one anywhere

[robust hedge]

quarterstaff

[fluid bloom]

The correct answer

[fluid bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/benny-fallout-fallout-new-vegas-what-in-the-goddamn-confusion-gif-24924085

[silent stag]

Has anyone tried the vicious weapon pack mod?

[pearl ferry]

berzerker for honor

[unique cedar]

dual wielding is extremely slept on

[silent stag]

I kinda miss the old braindead dual wielding from the old abyss

[silent stag]

Because it's very useless

[unique cedar]

I think its really good especially with something like an axe

or axe/mace combo

[glacial cloak]

the glaive i want in the game is something like this https://youtu.be/y-HCvW7lYPA?si=DAZPUplCx73nbYNx

[pearl ferry]

dual wield long mace

[fluid bloom]

Let me dual wield shortspears and become a thruster

[pearl ferry]

actually

[fluid bloom]

flat out thrusting it

[pearl ferry]

my favorite is dual wield falchions

[fluid bloom]

Stabbing even

My favorite is dual wield bucklers. Buckler boxing is peak

[fluid bloom]

I want an official mode or class for buckler boxing tbh

[silent stag]

I think you can easily mod it into the game

[wary berry]

whatever you like willie idk

[fluid bloom]

[pearl ferry]

single handed is still a lot of fun tho

[silent stag]

You had to use 2 hands to actually hit them, that's how bad one handed handling is in the game rn

[pearl ferry]

wat

[silent stag]

I hope they change it

[silent stag]

I mean one handed handling is kinda bad

[pearl ferry]

honestly

skill issue

[silent stag]

(Talking about the game not you just in case(

[silent stag]

Vro it's true, most of the time holding the falchion with 2 hands is better than using it with the buckler

[fluid bloom]

One handed in general is less precise than two handed in the game, true. I hope if we ever get a true thrusting weapon that the alt stab mode is actually improved and made better

[silent stag]

One handed handling is a bit flaily

But it might just be like that because willie is starved and weak af

[sick hare]

sorry for getting in the middle, but i think that the proper way to use single handed is to hit legs, below the shields

[toxic urchin]

why did they remove the old punching like fist fighting is so bad now?

[silent stag]

But how much does a falchion weight

[sick hare]

its so usefull

[unique cedar]

they should add mike tyson

[silent stag]

A 2 handed sword can do that faster and with more power

😔

[sick hare]

yea, but if you are fighting against a spear or alberd, you'll get dismembered before even having the opportunity of making a hit

[mental kelp]

you can parry polearm with sword

[dawn vale]

I learnt how to beat 3rd boss using longsword

[fluid bloom]

Me with my axe on maximum gore just having to tickle your thigh hair with the blade to cut it off:

[silent stag]

My point is one handed handling is flaily and sucks with blades

[agile jacinth]

Loving the thrusting reworks, they actually go where I aim now! Fantastic!

[sick hare]

what i do is place the guard in the middle and just swoop the enemy weapon to the side and making a nice slice to his legs

[fluid bloom]

You know who else loves thrusting?

[sick hare]

since they surrender when cutting their legs

[fluid bloom]

MY WILLY

[silent stag]

Only time I liked one handing something is when I beat the bald knight boss with a long sword and a shield

[fluid bloom]

[sick hare]

it makes it pretty easy, and until man of war they dont have leg armor

[pearl ferry]

idk like i get what u mean by the one handed weapons being flaily but like... u can still be pretty accurate with it. the way the swings work ARE different tho

like is it as effective? i mean no it's easier to kill people with a longsword... of course... that's just by virtue of the weapon differences

[light storm]

holy fuck i love the new bone breaking system

[pearl ferry]

but is it fun? yes

[agile jacinth]

What’s your sensitivity?

[pearl ferry]

default

[agile jacinth]

Alright, cool.

[pearl ferry]

and my mouse is default too idk i use an anker ergonomic mouse

[silent stag]

It felt flaily the last time I played

[pearl ferry]

its def different now

[silent stag]

They prob changed it with the new update

[pearl ferry]

after update

I noticed

way way way way way more accurate than before

so the flaily bit isnt as applicable anymore tbh

[fluid bloom]

Oh is that why the kicks feel weaker now?

[silent stag]

I wonder if luvryann is going to keep complaining anyway

[light storm]

idk maybe

[rigid stirrup]

how big of a difference has the new weapon handling made?

[pearl ferry]

complainers gonna complain

[silent stag]

The famous author of the "REMOVE SPEAR PLAYERS" suggestion

[fluid bloom]

From what little I've played of spears thus far, they still feel a bit too floaty at the end but they are generally more precise, so point

[pearl ferry]

heavy axes and the super blackhole insta kill weapons arent as noticeable now

they are still really strong but

they dont dismember on contact as often

and the "weaker" weapons have more of a leeway

at least rfom what i noticed

[silent stag]

That was caused by the gore setting iirc

[pearl ferry]

mine was default always has been

and it still did it

[silent stag]

What are the "Super blackhole insta kill weapons" btw?

[pearl ferry]

this

notice how i dont really move my axe

it just touches and they explode

[rigid stirrup]

stabbing with swords seems a lot nicer

[pearl ferry]

you do a little poke and it hits now

u dont have to be as precise

[silent stag]

Doesn't make any sense, aren't you supposed to apply more force since the axe is dull and not very sharp

[pearl ferry]

i mean

[silent stag]

Glad they fixed it

[pearl ferry]

im agreeing with that sentiment

thats why i said

blackhole weapon

[rigid stirrup]

yeah the woodcutter axe seems sharper than the actual battleaxe

[pearl ferry]

cus it's a little silly

nah dude

the battleaxe is CRAZY

[silent stag]

And does the scythe still cut you in half by just looking at you?

[rigid stirrup]

when i've used it i've often just ended up bludgeoning them to death

[pearl ferry]

havent gotten cut by the scythe yet

if it happens ill let u know

dont hold click when you swing

since its a super heavy weapon

it will misalign

just click once to guide the swing and let go

it chews thru armor lol like a movie

[silent stag]

Oh and can you really fight back when you're in the ground now?

[fluid bloom]

all you need to do with the scythe is hook the blade behind an enemy and walk backwards to chop em in half

[cerulean cloud]

i am so proud of myself for hitting this throw

[rigid stirrup]

hmm i was also having similar issues with the poleaxe

where the edge just seems blunt and it knocks my opponent over without cutting into them

but it probably is just edge alignment

[willow oak]

https://tenor.com/view/half-sword-lobotomy-willie-half-sword-willie-lobotomy-gore-gif-11873384114413719086

[silent stag]

The poleaxe appears in heavily armoured tiers tho (iirc) 🤨

[rigid stirrup]

yes, where you can fight in brave stand

against lightly armoured opponents

[silent stag]

What was your frame rate?

Fps affects the physics sadly

[light storm]

my avg is 60-90 in brave stand

[rigid stirrup]

mine is capped at 60 and its usually stable

[silent stag]

Did you try cutting a guy with gambeson on?

Because gambeson is tougher than you think

[light storm]

lmao its kinda hard

[rigid stirrup]

i understand it provides protection, but a good swing with a poleaxe should surely penetrate it

there's a lot of leverage

[silent stag]

Yeah but in the game they're a bit more durable

I once tried to use a sword against a willie with gambeson and the mf was still standing after many hits with barely any cuts

[misty pine]

yikes

[silent stag]

I wish there were face expressions

[fluid bloom]

Face/off

[silent stag]

😔

[fluid bloom]

I did that to a willy too. I love the weird cuts that let you chop him up

[silent stag]

It feels weird when willie is screaming but his face is straight

[fluid bloom]

Got a willies back ribs once

It was great

[misty pine]

happens to be that I was the one that got my face chopped off in the screenshot 😭

[fluid bloom]

Rip

[silent stag]

That's what you get for fighting the crackhead willie

[light storm]

ouch

[silent stag]

Sometimes enemies in beggar carnage are on steroids

Because how tf can a starved mf chop off my leg with a single strike of his cleaver

[light storm]

oh yeah since limbs arent vital parts you can break them and enemies wont die since they dont count as cuts thus not makng them bleed out

[silent stag]

Bullshit

[light storm]

so you can just hear them scream in agony

[fluid bloom]

Explains why I had that willy I lopped the hand off of just sit and scream for 3 minutes

[silent stag]

But if you amputate them they die right?

[old current]

Anyone have an optimal sensitivity they find to work well?

[silent stag]

It's not the same for everyone

[pearl ferry]

personal preference entirely

[silent stag]

Just keep tweaking it until you find the perfect settings

It depends on your mouse

But something that is 100% important is disabling "Enhance mouse accuracy" in mouse settings @old current

[fluid bloom]

The optimal settings are mine

[old current]

Ah gotcha, alrighty thanks

[light storm]

yea since they bleed out

[fluid bloom]

And I'm not sharing them

[light storm]

but sometimes if the cut is too fast they wont bleed out

[fluid bloom]

[light storm]

not even surrender

theyll just grab their arm and scream and still say they're in the fight

[fluid bloom]

If we stab them in the hand, will they instantly give up still?

[light storm]

idk bout that

i think theyll still fight

[fluid bloom]

Find out bro

smh my head

Cant be saying all this and not know

[pearl ferry]

they fight

can confirm

[light storm]

yea they fight

broken arm/hand

[fluid bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/battle-dog-mace-flail-gif-21812981

[light storm]

as long as atleast one arm isnt broken they still have the will to fight

[silent stag]

As you can see, the peasant boss is him

Used his hand to block the attack

[sturdy spoke]

do limbs come off easier in the update or am i just noticign it more

[pearl ferry]

killing in general is easier

[sturdy spoke]

i like the new update it makes fights more engaging

if you stab an enemy in the hand or somwhere non vital they diont immediately die

[silent stag]

Are the armoured fights still as easy as before

[pearl ferry]

lets see

[silent stag]

Or when you stepped on a blade and inmediately combust

[sturdy spoke]

im excited for the spike pit mode

[silent stag]

Half sword has potential but it'll be wasted if the main gamemode is the gauntlet

[fluid bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/gwent-gwentcard-scoiatael-pitfall-trap-gif-13807083

[ancient linden]

Do you gents have any tips for the "Ultimate Challenge" ? I can get several rounds in but the double polearm guys are rough

[fluid bloom]

It's a tech demo and proof of concept as it is right now, they'll build off it depending on how succesful it is

[silent stag]

The game EA is releasing on the Q4 of this year

Sooo I atleast hope they're gonna bring the old maps from itch.io version

And the maps from the trailer and dev logs too

😔

[limpid storm]

yo this makes no sense now. i just slighty touch a sword and loose a leg, tf

[pearl ferry]

lol you should have played yesterday

[silent stag]

First time eh

[analog cosmos]

😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[pseudo terrace]

how to get bette ri suck i always die at commoner

[analog cosmos]

They need to remove limb breaking and severing for players in abyss

[limpid storm]

oof

[silent stag]

Wait what, did they add a new weapon to the game or wtf is the warstaff

[analog cosmos]

i think they meant the pollaxe or something

[pseudo terrace]

any advice on how to get better alweays die at commoner]

[pearl ferry]

play the free mode so you can actually play around with the weapons without the risk of dying

i mean you still die but you dont lose progress

[pseudo terrace]

do you mean abyss>

[pearl ferry]

no bro

[silent stag]

No, free mode

[pearl ferry]

bottom right side of screen

[analog cosmos]

yk I never did that I just kept dying in gauntlet and getting better

[pearl ferry]

click free mode

[silent stag]

Does anyone else think gauntlet gets too easy after tier 3

[pseudo terrace]

i have and then i cliock play and i get stuck

[pearl ferry]

how stuck?

[pseudo terrace]

back at starter screen

i click play end up back at starter screen

[limpid storm]

ok i gotta stop, this makes so mad lmao

[pearl ferry]

do you pick your tier?

[pseudo terrace]

yes

[ancient linden]

First and Third bosses are the serious walls for sure. The first boss is totally fine in the abyss but on a fresh run he's spooky

[wary berry]

might as well call me willie tyson

[pseudo terrace]

am i doing something wrong

when tring to go to free mode

[silent stag]

This makes me remember how awful FPV is

[pseudo terrace]

jaime

[wary berry]

naahh not even, thought it was bad at first tbf but its pretty fun

[silent stag]

Idk why they placed the camera too far from the character eyes

[fluid bloom]

Jamie pull up that video of 100 gorillas vs 1 man

[pearl ferry]

i would reinstall the game

[wary berry]

yea perspective is pretty fucked tho

[ancient linden]

Feels like its much harder to knock someone out with fists in this update. Not too hard but before you could fairly consistently 1-2 knockout people

[pseudo terrace]

ok

any oithe radvice at how to get bettwr

[wary berry]

depends a lot on your damage settings

[silent stag]

They should make body hits effective

[austere salmon]

why does the battle axe deal so muc damage

[silent stag]

Because axes are the goat of everything

[austere salmon]

this was one hit

[fluid bloom]

Because all of the weight is concentrated at the point, into a blade, which is just a finer point, meaning damage big big

[silent stag]

https://tenor.com/view/accettato-axe-axed-gif-9082823236384079896

axe best tool ever

[austere salmon]

i knocked a poor bastards block off with a single light tap

[fluid bloom]

Naaaaaaaaaaah, clearly wasn't light

https://tenor.com/view/discord-light-mode-light-mode-discord-level-42-mike-lindup-gif-6996327276702832968

This is light

[dire crest]

Noticed also, takes a little more effort
have been stuck on the ultimate challenge for a while mostly due to ubiquitous fatal errors, and I got used to skipping the knife just for fists

[silent stag]

Axes are just built different

[austere salmon]

i was half swording it to knock away a hit, went into his shield to knock it away and his block came cleanly off

[fluid bloom]

Bro clearly swung for the fences

[ancient linden]

exactly I noticed it because im grinding Ultimate Challenge

[silent stag]

I'm sure the baron will be a dissapointing fight just like every armoured fight is

😔

[ancient linden]

I do think they just cranked down the impacts. Head kicks also sent a blood spray much farther before the update unless I'm mistaken

I do think it makes Fist Play more fun though, they don't just get smashed immediately

[unique cedar]

holy shit

what preset is that

[silent stag]

A custom one I made

[ancient linden]

looks cell shaded

[silent stag]

I'm not sure if I can share it tho...

[austere salmon]

whats it called on nexus, i need that

[silent stag]

I never uploaded it

[austere salmon]

damn

[silent stag]

That's the point

[austere salmon]

literally tapped him after a parry

[austere salmon]

i found a shader i like, how do i install it, its just a .ini file

[ancient linden]

for sure! It looks sick

[fluid bloom]

You... Do know that the front-side area of the neck/shoulder are where basically all the important blood veins are, right?

[silent stag]

I dont remember vro

[austere salmon]

yes but i chopped half his head off and threw him to the ground

i was moving at the speed of smell dude

[silent stag]

When I use reshade I just make my own presets since I'm too lazy to install a preset someone else made

[atomic kernel]

The warstaff is The spear with spikes?

[silent stag]

I wish I could run it at high tho, it's a bit performance killer, I have footage of gameplay with it in medium tho

It looks kinda mid on game medium graphic setting

(Low quality so discord allows me to upload)

[ancient linden]

Do you think it makes the game any easier?

[austere salmon]

no but it looks great

[silent stag]

Def not

If you get distracted too easily it can even make it harder

[ancient linden]

Fascinating

[silent stag]

But for the most of my gameplay it didnt affect the difficulty

[ancient linden]

Oh is it? That probably needed a nerf so i'd believe it

[silent stag]

I wonder how effective the stick with spikes was against armor

Like irl

[unique cedar]

probably like

a shit ton

[limpid storm]

-very- effective. with th right angle able to pierce the helmet plus the skull at one hit

[teal mural]

More effective than expected, not as effective as in-game

[unique cedar]

id imagine it to pierce armor real easy

[limpid storm]

bnut it was pretty rare due to its price, it takes more iron to build it than a sword or axe needs

[teal mural]

The goedendag (similar but without the side spikes) famously helped a peasant uprising defeat armoured knights but it's important to remember a few things;
A ) not all armour is made equal
B ) even in shoddy armour in the mid 15th century you're basically not piercing through a helmet or breastplate into the vitals, you're breaking maille rings or gaps in the armour, and depending on how your spikes are angled, hitting with multiple spikes may actually reduce the impact transferred into either one of the impact points

[limpid storm]

with a littlebit of luck and the gods on your side it was -very- effektive

[teal mural]

It was definitely an easy and intuitive weapon to use, and also worth remembering that only the upper eschalons were fighting in full harness, most people were in soft armour with some plate at best

[limpid storm]

i could imagine it was very useful for immobilize enemys

by hitting into the legs etc

[teal mural]

It's not gonna go through a breastplate and the padding behind it and then into vital organs

But if all you're wearing is padding, you're fucked
And yes, brutally effective at joints because those are the hardest points to armour bc if you armour them too much you can't bend them

And it won't kill you but a spike through the side of your knee will take you down real fast lol

[limpid storm]

yea with only padding i guess they ran lol

[limpid storm]

yea that wont kill, someone else will when u lay there ig lol

[teal mural]

Yeah basically
You'll be left to rot while the battle goes on and then picked off or ransomed later

[limpid storm]

if ur not getting trampled lol

[teal mural]

Also as far as using it in-game goes
Personally I like using it as a finesse weapon, the spikes make it VERY hard for the opponent AI to effectively swing around. Catch weapons on them and make them useless

[limpid storm]

u can just hold it between their legs, they just fuk up themselves

i mostly use sword

[teal mural]

Longsword js definitely my favourite to play, alongside billhook, but placon is one of the more interesting.
Lost interest in single handed blunt weapons since they were nerfed, felt like beating people with a pool noodle. Two handed is better tho.

[limpid storm]

i like hammers too but they dont deal enough impact sadly

[slender spear]

you could lower theplayer damage if its too hard

[limpid storm]

and i would love to be able to lterally break shields with a hammer

[slender spear]

its what I did

[unique cedar]

they do. At least I think so. It feels more like willie just isnt strong enough

not that the hammer is too light

[limpid storm]

yes, that could be the problem, one of those options i think, he seems weak sometimes anyways

can't wait for the MP tbh lol, but it sooo long

[teal mural]

Yeah it's like he's got no wrist bones so when you hit someone with a blunt item it sorta bounces off unless it's two handed

[unique cedar]

is there any estimated time we're getting multiplayer?

[limpid storm]

not that i know of, but i'm not the most informed one here for sure - i just saw a video where the devs said mp is not even in early acces so we'll se ig

[unique cedar]

😭

[limpid storm]

but lets be honest, we leanred in the last years thats is mostly worth it to wait so they dont feel pressured or smthng

[teal mural]

Yeah they've said basically that they know MP is a popular desire but that it is very hard to implement with the physics controls and stuff apparently - I don't have details I'm not a game dev so idk how or why that would be - and that it is absolutely an afterthought/potential bonus extra and not the main focus of the game

[north lark]

man i just sliced someone on the throat with the voices at max and i feel bad

[limpid storm]

you'll get used to it lmao

[pearl ferry]

click and let go of your swing

instead of doing a complete follow through

since they are top heavy they are very prone to misalign so you hit with the shaft or glance them

[north lark]

i can't get used to a guy who is literally drowing is his own blood for 40 straight seconds holy, i just grabbed water

[pearl ferry]

they are still effective with one hand just requires different technique

[limpid storm]

hold G and do it again

[willow linden]

idk why but I feel like a pen thingy would go well with half sword

[torpid mortar]

playing with no blood and managing to do stuff like this just feels like you ripped apart a bug

[limpid storm]

me when ouchie

[ionic agate]

why cant i send images : (

[waxen lance]

bro i just did my first ever parry and counter attack into an instakill

[austere salmon]

any decapitation, solid slash to the gut, or removal of limb ends the fight instantly

also a hit to the neck with a blade/point kills them 90%

[torpid mortar]

riposte

[foggy basin]

how do i fix the fatal crash thing

[foggy basin]

how do i fix the fatal crash thing in gauntlet mode

[austere salmon]

lessen thy bloob

[torpid mortar]

all talk till i crouch down under your swing and put my blade through you

[austere salmon]

consider instead: greatace

[amber yacht]

YOU CAN SNAP YOUR NECK????

[austere salmon]

you can snap others necks too

a solid hit with a blunt weapon makes a sickening crunch

[torpid mortar]

or your fists if you have your damage setting low enough

[amber yacht]

I just lost a character because i was trying to see what weapon he had i grabbed my characters face and moved it with the cursor

[torpid mortar]

high*

[torpid mortar]

the perk of playing tier 3 is that there is no battleaxe.

[austere salmon]

con*

[torpid mortar]

you do not understand the fact that the battleaxe is annoying when you only use longsword.

[austere salmon]

i wonder if its possible to beat the gauntlet with only axes

[torpid mortar]

very much so

[austere salmon]

once you hit veteran your gear progression stops, you only wield a battleaxe and your sidearms

[raven plover]

trying to see how far i can get up the gauntlet with peasant only

commoner boss just died

[fallow jasper]

Bruh its so hard for me to kill commoner with weapons

[untold wagon]

bro i just got cut in half by a spear 💔

like the short pokey spear

[torpid mortar]

start a petition to remove the tiny ass mace from t3 because it just sucks and the two handers that have it are always dumb

[raven plover]

militia boss down LEGS AINT SUPPOSED TO BEND THAT WAY!!!

[fallow jasper]

His legs look like pool noodles

[raven plover]

LMFAOOO

[solid hare]

It'd be sick if there was a punching style weapon other than the forearm shield

[fallow jasper]

Bro that pic looks so hard

Wille out here aura farming

[austere salmon]

this is as far as my kit goes

lets see if i can become a baron as Bill the Veteran

im gonna be pissed if my first win is a meme run

[willow linden]

and then the luck comes

[austere salmon]

to be fair the battle axe is one of the strongest weapons in the game

and the armor of a veteran is not insignificant

[fallow jasper]

What’s the furthest rank yall have gotten ?

[austere salmon]

veteran

[fallow jasper]

I’ve gotten to man at arms

[raven plover]

at veteran tier with bare fists now!

[fallow jasper]

Dude …

[austere salmon]

i be a man at arms

[waxen lance]

with TWO STROKES i cut off BOTH his arms

[mellow wigeon]

Holy hell did you voice act these???

[torpid mortar]

and guess what.

two handed fucking mace.

[mellow wigeon]

Through your own knee??

[torpid mortar]

that aint in my knee

it just looks like it

[waxen lance]

one sec

[mellow wigeon]

Oh?

[austere salmon]

apparently the blade of an axe is great at bludgeoning people in helmets

[torpid mortar]

two handed mace is so ass.

dual weilding

[waxen lance]

huh.

[mellow wigeon]

Jesus christ dude

[torpid mortar]

dual weilding a mace and anything else just makes willie 2 times more stupid

[mellow wigeon]

Nah that got me reeling

[torpid mortar]

im talking about the ai not the players

[austere salmon]

im now a knight

[waxen lance]

ohj

[austere salmon]

im gonna be pissed if this works

[torpid mortar]

its actually possible to use them

[mellow wigeon]

Say, why can't I send images here??

[torpid mortar]

the willie just becomes 20x more stupid when they have it

[torpid mortar]

lv 2

[mellow wigeon]

Damn how tf have I not leveled up yet

Crazy

[torpid mortar]

speak mor

[raven plover]

got em

[summer pollen]

yall noticed how resilient willie is now? i can comfortably win while quite damaged

[willow linden]

about 25 more messages and you're good

[raven plover]

DAMN

[mellow wigeon]

Neat

[torpid mortar]

dual weilding mace

makes them

so

fucking

dumb

[raven plover]

made it to man at arms tier as peasant before dying

[mellow wigeon]

Actually guys wait genuine question

[torpid mortar]

remove dual weilding mace

[mellow wigeon]

What happened to like, destroying heads with maces

That was in the old version

[raven plover]

and now my game has crashed

[soft osprey]

Wasn’t realistic how it was

[torpid mortar]

sadly removed i think

[torpid mortar]

'twas funny.

[mellow wigeon]

Mine crashed a little while ago too :(

[mellow wigeon]

Whaaaaaaaaaaattttttt???

[torpid mortar]

although

makes sense why it was removed

[mellow wigeon]

Dude, it was sick as hell, wtf??

[summer pollen]

why were willies bones gallium colored

[soft osprey]

Devs shoot for realism as much as possible. Head caving in will return

[torpid mortar]

dual weilders are just dumb but mace ones are just even worse

[mellow wigeon]

I still feel like realistically I should be able to fully crush a skull with blunt force

[torpid mortar]

if you see my status just ignore what im listening to while playing this

[soft osprey]

Okay I’m going to zoom in and scrutinize every inch of the second picture

[mellow wigeon]

Scp 173

[raven plover]

naked willie quite cute

[soft osprey]

You will, but the old version was just a head explosion

[mellow wigeon]

Fair I guess

[raven plover]

who wants to fight irl and record it for half sword realism purposes
