halfsword-chat-⚔

[spice talon]

I don’t push until he down swings

Then snipe hands

[solemn mist]

Axe sideswinsg are easily to block

[spice talon]

True but i stuck at blocking

[solemn mist]

Upswinsg adn downswiungs shievsr my timbers

[gaunt nimbus]

this game is a bit unoptimized

[spice talon]

It is but that’s still absurd

[thorn kite]

true that

[solemn mist]

Same

[thorn kite]

me too man

[gilded breach]

i believe ull still need to upgrade for the early access

[gaunt nimbus]

biggest problem is that clothes and organs are rendered

[spice talon]

Yeah but taking that away would make the game look way less cool

[edgy pewter]

ohh its a move

[spice talon]

I haven’t even managed to get past commoner yet lol

[solemn mist]

They should make a lower graphics mode, where organs are mroe of textured and cloth is rendered with the willie

[spice talon]

I get to the boss and get destroyed

[gaunt nimbus]

i finished whole game

[solemn mist]

Cannon event

[spice talon]

Working on it lol

[solemn mist]

[spice talon]

Last i played the gauntlet didn’t exist

[gaunt nimbus]

with big ass sword?

[spice talon]

Just reinstalled

Yurp

[gilded breach]

very common to get stuck on commoner boss
easy way is to pick peasant with pitchfork

[edgy pewter]

i usually charge stab at the commoner boss it works most of the time

[spice talon]

Can’t block because I’m bad and he has so much reach that my usual tricks with spacing don’t work

[solemn mist]

Pitchfork supremacy

[steady carbon]

dont pick cheesy weapons, fight with random ones you cowards

[gaunt nimbus]

pitchfork goes brrr

[steady carbon]

thrusting is easy now

[solemn mist]

keep baiting him till he does upswings, then pray and stab

[spice talon]

I just go for long sword

[gilded breach]

ye thats how i go about it nowadays

[steady carbon]

thrusting is zero skill in this patch

[solemn mist]

Works 25% of tiems

[spice talon]

For me stabs always veer off

[gilded breach]

even managed to get him with a mace once tho that was rly hard

[spice talon]

I get maybe one in ten stabs to hit properly

[solemn mist]

Mace have low range

Gettign him with it is imrpessive

[steady carbon]

im getting like 1 in 4 now with longswords and 1 in 2 with polearms

[gaunt nimbus]

brooo why is willie's ass so shaky

[steady carbon]

dont alt stab

[spice talon]

All blunt weapons feel kinda eh until you get to armor tbh

[steady carbon]

its useless

[solemn mist]

I get 1 in 20 with lognswords

None in other weapons

[steady carbon]

double click stab like your forefathers did

[solemn mist]

Its easy

[edgy pewter]

no alt stabs the best

[steady carbon]

learn to aim in a general direction

[spice talon]

Lmao

Any reason why?

[steady carbon]

too much bullshit keypresses

[gaunt nimbus]

stupid

[steady carbon]

double click can be morphed into stab feints

alt cant

[spice talon]

I use alt stabs all the time

True

[steady carbon]

alt is also slow and inaccurate

[edgy pewter]

just move your mouse fast then

[steady carbon]

theres a speedcap

[spice talon]

I just hate getting sent back to the peasant stage

[solemn mist]

One thing I found out si that when either you swing missed or get lodged into an enememy, press alt, it does a cutting motion, either splitting your opponent into two and in acse of missing, it rebuild your structrue much faster and defends a line of attack too

[spice talon]

It’s boring as hell

[steady carbon]

stab feinting is integral to learning longsword trollge

as far as im concerned

[spice talon]

Noted

[solemn mist]

Fist brawl is peak

[spice talon]

Omg it takes so long though

[steady carbon]

especially with what feels like a different behavior on running the blade against hitboxes now

[spice talon]

Easily five to ten times normal match length

[steady carbon]

it cuts more often

[gaunt nimbus]

love breaking all bones with this huge 2-handed mace

[spice talon]

I just spam carnage to get through the stage

[solemn mist]

Terrifying

[solemn mist]

Cannon event

[steady carbon]

i wish there was a 6v6 carnage

not 6v6

6 man

[gaunt nimbus]

or just gentle bonk on wille's head

[spice talon]

I wish there was a low level buhurt

[solemn mist]

Explosive materials

[spice talon]

Like peasant brawl or something

[steady carbon]

thats called spoilance

[spice talon]

Eh not really

There’s not teams

[gaunt nimbus]

[torpid mortar]

how do i wipe my save if it doesnt let me wipe via dying

[steady carbon]

man at arms carnage is peak halfsword

[spice talon]

I wanna get past commoner so bad

I got to men at arms in the abyss earlier and got one tap neck sniped😂

I was sitting there like

All that

For this

[steady carbon]

simply keep your hands up to your neck

[spice talon]

There wasn’t really anything i could do it was just a lucky blow

[steady carbon]

dude the new patch makes me so sad

[spice talon]

Bounced off my chest plate up into my throat

[silent torrent]

I feel like the microsecond I even slightly relax around an axe user I end up with their axe slamming through my collarbone

[gaunt nimbus]

holy shit

[steady carbon]

it feels like you cant do guard ignoring strikes anymore

[spice talon]

Real

[gaunt nimbus]

i broke willie's neck with my fist

[steady carbon]

you cant just break through a shield guard

[spice talon]

Damn

[silent torrent]

Passive parry is more effective I think

[steady carbon]

it destroys your momentum

[spice talon]

I think that’s a good thing though

[silent torrent]

And you can't push people over too

[spice talon]

The guard ai used to be terrible

You could literally just spam cut left and right and win

[steady carbon]

i dont like autoparry its so dumb

[edgy pewter]

whats that

[steady carbon]

im playing a melee game to learn the skill of swordfighting

not to get free parries

[gaunt nimbus]

stupid shield user

[spice talon]

It’s the only way it really works with the physics system

[steady carbon]

its not

[spice talon]

Otherwise the game becomes exponentially harder

[steady carbon]

we had parrying normally before

people were extremely good at it

[spice talon]

I could see maybe making it a setting but removing it would suck

[steady carbon]

it was a skill you needed to learn and it was really cool

because you could do true counterparries

and backhand strikes

[torpid mortar]

how do i wipe my save if it doesnt let me wipe via dying

[steady carbon]

everything

[steady carbon]

uninstall

[spice talon]

Again maybe making it a setting for advanced users or something

[torpid mortar]

tried

[steady carbon]

go into data and delete the saves

[torpid mortar]

tried that

[edgy pewter]

its in users right

[steady carbon]

yeah this is what i mean

[spice talon]

Delete system 32

[edgy pewter]

its named like gauntlet progress

[spice talon]

It’ll fix it trust

[steady carbon]

but anyway, used to youd be able to just straight up ignore a shield guard if the ai had a poor position because theyd have a bad grip on the shield

like irl

[spice talon]

Yeah i remember

[steady carbon]

where you blow straight through it and cut them anywau

[gaunt nimbus]

don't like shields

[steady carbon]

the game is complex and i want it to stay complex is just my rhing

thing

[spice talon]

I played on launch of the demo a little so i remember most stuff never got into it too much

[gaunt nimbus]

they're made from wood and indestructible

[steady carbon]

simplification ruins the competition

[tight isle]

wow they streamlined abyss i killed one willie and it gave me the boss

[spice talon]

True but keeping it that complex makes it hard to incentivize people to want to play it

[steady carbon]

its a melee game

youre incentivized by learning more and more skills

[spice talon]

I think making it an added difficulty setting is the best option

[tight isle]

i dont think the devs are making a game made for everyone

[steady carbon]

this is like saying people wouldnt wanna play street fighter because it has too much depth to fight

no, the depth is the selling point

[tight isle]

street fighter added modern controls and it still cant get new people lol

[gaunt nimbus]

and you can throw huge ass axe straight into wille's head

[spice talon]

They definitely aren’t but it’s hard enough as is, removing a handicap would make it so much harder for even vaguely casual players like me

[steady carbon]

and parrying is also a lot easier if you learn it

you can parry like 90% of directions with maybe 3 guards

and being able to do basic timing

[spice talon]

Street fighter doesn’t have a trans girl who can throw a yoyo through your head they were doomed from the start

[spice talon]

I mean you still can no?

[steady carbon]

halfsword low guard literally is so overpowered its basically the end all be all of parrying

[tight isle]

yeah but they have awesome trans butch dominatrix poison

[restive barn]

what weapon should i make

[spice talon]

Flail

[steady carbon]

its so good there are entire treatise written on it, and it works just as well ingame

[tight isle]

shitfuck 9000 destroyer

low guard isnt good enough

use fools guard

[restive barn]

you cant

[spice talon]

True, I don’t see how autoparry removes that though

Still functions

[spice talon]

Forge one

[tight isle]

theres already a passive parry

[restive barn]

oh i dont think you get what im saying

[steady carbon]

autoparry fucks up existing guards by forcing movement when you dont want to

[restive barn]

what weapon should i MOD in half sword

[spice talon]

Oh

[steady carbon]

i dont want my.character to move outside of my control

[spice talon]

Morningstar ig

Flail but no chain

Close enough

[restive barn]

thats just a mace

[spice talon]

Make a pole morningstar

[tight isle]

moonlight greatsword

[spice talon]

Big boy

[steady carbon]

taking away control from the player in a game based on the movement skills of the player is a bad choice

[spice talon]

Ooh

Add artorias’ sword

Praying I spelled that right

[restive barn]

seems doable

[restive barn]

wait

[spice talon]

Remove the baron and add dlc radahn😆

[steady carbon]

autoparry will probably get toggleable eventually but im gonna keep complaining abt it

[spice talon]

Fair enough lmao

[tight isle]

learning parries/dodging is half the game lol

[spice talon]

I’m not advanced enough to have issues with it but I can see it causing problems

[steady carbon]

autoparry used to be so invasive you could win fights without moving your mouse

[restive barn]

WHAT IS AUTOPARRY

[spice talon]

I do hope they add a way to learn parries and such in game eventually

[spice talon]

Character move weapon toward attack automatically

[steady carbon]

it literally made it unplayable for playstyles based on specific standing guards and rehearsed strikes

[restive barn]

oh

[steady carbon]

if i tried to perform a matador around them my character would automatically just pull the fucking poleaxe up towards the enemys weapon instead of letting me decided when to pull back for the feint

then*

[tight isle]

autoparry removes ur ability to learn and learn how to do stylish completely unnecassary movements

[spice talon]

Idk what a matador is

[steady carbon]

and matadors WHOLE THING is last second feints

[tight isle]

it gives $8 when u trigger the boss blind

[spice talon]

Smash or pass on balatro joker

[edgy pewter]

smash

[tight isle]

smash

[edgy pewter]

all night easy

[steady carbon]

.

[spice talon]

That was instant😭

[edgy pewter]

its what i truly feel of course it was instant

[spice talon]

Insane

[tight isle]

male female inbetween

smash

[spice talon]

That is like medieval john wick shit wtf did I just watch😭

You violated that man

[steady carbon]

its literally so easy, you just put the head of the polaxe in the dirt, wait for their opener and then hit them with a charlie brown football kick meme that hits them straight in the head

[spice talon]

Insane

[edgy pewter]

ive tried the fools guard it works so well

[spice talon]

Might try that irl in a sparring session actually

[pearl heart]

I want a sword when you start the baron challenge. This picking up a knife stuff is for peasants.

[spice talon]

I just want to be able to start at the farm tools level

[steady carbon]

i also have a video where i use every part of the poleaxe to kick willies ass

[spice talon]

Can’t think of the name for it but the one below commoner

[edgy pewter]

i just dodge and fist the first guy and grab his weapon

[spice talon]

The bottom tier is so mid

[spice talon]

You have a strange relationship with Willie and axes😆

[edgy pewter]

heh willie

[steady carbon]

its the best weapon in the game

[spice talon]

I love pollaxes

Probably second favorite polearm depending on how you classify polearm

First is definitely zweihanders

[steady carbon]

learn one handed swords in this patch or stay a casual

[cunning aspen]

I like this one but sword still my fav

[steady carbon]

im confident we will never get another patch where one handers are this competent again

[pearl heart]

video games, = fun. This earning stuff is for the birds

[spice talon]

I really just spears whenever possible

Spears are and will forever stay op

Just by design lmao

[edgy pewter]

spears are awesome but only when i use them

[spice talon]

Real

[steady carbon]

expand your skills and you can open new horizons of fun

[spice talon]

I stg the on time I try to use a sword or something everyone else has a pitchfork

[steady carbon]

daggers are also hilariously overpowered now in veteran

[edgy pewter]

what how

[spice talon]

No shot daggers are op

[steady carbon]

just thrust and win

the new thrust magnetism bullshit makes them instakill weapons

that cant easily be parried

unless they cut your arms odd

off

[spice talon]

Thrust magnetism?

[edgy pewter]

not that ill use one but awesome

[tight isle]

i have no idea why he was trying to half sword me from fucking timbuktu but we take those

[spice talon]

Unless you mean magnetizing into the air I have no idea what you mean

[steady carbon]

thrusts feel easy now, theyre way more accurate than they used to be

[edgy pewter]

oh

[spice talon]

I couldn’t hit shit then and I can’t hit shit now so I didn’t notice😆

[edgy pewter]

yeah they are but how would you use them on veterans anyways

[steady carbon]

why is your field of view spider level

[spice talon]

Bro sees everything

[steady carbon]

veterans can spawn with just the lower torso cuirass

meaning their heart and lungs are open

which are usually instant kills with thrusts

or you just shove the blade into their teeth

[edgy pewter]

amazing

[pearl heart]

a game mode should never have you pick up a knife with a broken pick up system and your ops has spears. Make it make sense.

[steady carbon]

you have a knife, sidestep and bullshit them then bleed him like a halal calf

[restive barn]

calf sword

[spice talon]

Spears are easy counters if you can sidestep but that’s a big ass if

[steady carbon]

or if you can just tank it and run through the guard

spears quickly become joke weapons

[edgy pewter]

i cant dodge for shit anymore its like a gamble everytime i try

[steady carbon]

theres a transitionary period between soldier and veteran where you can just sprint into their personal space and hack him to pieces with a falchion

[spice talon]

Only when you start getting serious armor which isn’t until like the last third

[pearl heart]

I dont have shit. I have to pick up the knife first. And that is 75/25 miss

[steady carbon]

even with the half pavise on soldiee you can do it

[edgy pewter]

just run at him and throw hands

[steady carbon]

soldier

[restive barn]

here

[pearl heart]

when it should be 100% easy to pick up a weapon and not have it stab you

[steady carbon]

throwing hands is unironically effective now

[spice talon]

For me it does nothing for damage

[winged leaf]

is there a way to change your keybinds?

[steady carbon]

if you get a longsword or some bullshit as a man at arms and they have too much throat protection just throw it on the ground and start punching him in the face

[spice talon]

I gotta really wail on a mf before he takes any effect

[steady carbon]

kick more

you need to break their stance

[tight isle]

if u have a weapon and u swing in the direction /prepare ur swing you carry momentum

[edgy pewter]

yeah but i never think about that i always try to dodge and get mad willy didnt move a inch

[spice talon]

I like never kick so maybe that’s my issue

[steady carbon]

kicking is overpowered

[restive barn]

dude the greatsword is done

[spice talon]

How do you dodge?

[steady carbon]

hold shift and walk

[restive barn]

walk away quickly

[spice talon]

I just keep spacing I didn’t know there was an actual dodge mechanic

[steady carbon]

stance up

[tight isle]

zipbombed with 30 million zettabytes of furry zorn

[steady carbon]

no you just sprint

sprinting is your combat stance

[edgy pewter]

lucky day

[spice talon]

Bro not even gonna share

[steady carbon]

stay in sprint when you fight

always hold shift

[spice talon]

Huh neat

[edgy pewter]

yeah always hold shift

[candid walrus]

anyone know how to make the right hand stronger when boxing? The left hand feels like Golovkin but the right hand is kinda like Shakur Stevenson

[steady carbon]

are you sure you arent left handed irl and youre just bad at swinging leftwards

[edgy pewter]

i only ever use the right hand

[restive barn]

dude its actually real

[tight isle]

woaw

[candid walrus]

yep left handed with right handed mouse rip

[steady carbon]

lmao

[spice talon]

That’s crazy

[edgy pewter]

guts ass sword

[tight isle]

guts is even bigger

[spice talon]

Enemy willie is praying to god rn

[restive barn]

ive made even bigger stuff

[spice talon]

How tf did you make that so quickly

That was legit like ten minutes

[restive barn]

its kinda easy

[steady carbon]

isnt it just a cfg edit

[restive barn]

think so

[candid walrus]

Nvm my mouse just sucks and keeps disconnecting whenever i flick so thats why im hesitant

[steady carbon]

charge your mouse ffs

[restive barn]

oh yeah and heres this big ass hammer i use to destroy willie's legs

[spice talon]

Wired mouse supremacy

[steady carbon]

half of the skill issues in this game anymorr are people who dont charge their shit up

[edgy pewter]

boo wireless is the best

[spice talon]

Never gotta charge my wired bro

Works all the time

[edgy pewter]

i just have a box of batteries on my side

[steady carbon]

get a drawing tablet 4real

mouse plebs

[spice talon]

I got my baller ass wired you got financial investment in yo mouse

[restive barn]

anyway what weapon next

[spice talon]

Do a dumb one

[edgy pewter]

mace with a huge head

[spice talon]

Like the one cross sword from one piece

[steady carbon]

make a big cartoon mallet out of tom and jerry

[spice talon]

Hell yes

[restive barn]

LOL

[restive barn]

yoru? soon

[spice talon]

Never seen the show just know the sword

Basically a falchion with a goofy ahh huge crossguard

[restive barn]

yoru

[steady carbon]

i still contend that falchions have something wrong with their material friction or something

if you get a shot anywhere on the shoulder the blade just naturally wants to go for the throat

feels like its made of ice

[spice talon]

Maybe falchions are just cool

Did you think of that?

[heady cloak]

fr

i use a wired deathadder

[steady carbon]

i have some redragon mouse with 25 buttons

[edgy pewter]

g305

so good

[spice talon]

I have a hand me down mouse with four

Two side two main

Works well

I have a whole rgb keyboard and mouse hand me down and I always leave it off bc rgb annoys me lol

[calm kelp]

I hate when your camera keep aimming down

[spice talon]

Usually that happens to me only when injured/tired

[restive barn]

here

[calm kelp]

no? when you keep swinging your camera will keep lower to aim legs

[restive barn]

what weapon next

oh right

[tight isle]

anyone elses willie has fuckin butter fingers when it comes to billhooks

bro just keeps letting go

[slow jolt]

how to beat veteran boss

very tall

much armor

cannot stab

beautiful bald head

what can i do

[edgy pewter]

you said it go for the head

or

use something blunt

[tight isle]

veteran boss is easy if you use any weapon that isnt like 2 inches long

[slow jolt]

i find it difficult to aim upwards with the longsword

actually i just now remembered overheads

many thanks

[tight isle]

lol

[near lichen]

You mean this guy

[calm kelp]

what in the modified damage

[slow jolt]

diabolical

yeah that guy

[restive barn]

its with all dumb heavy weapons

[slow jolt]

rip i died to abyss

why did 3 guys jump me all at once!!

[restive barn]

anyway im making that stupid looking falchion named yoru

from one piece

[lapis wing]

Bro what are you? Death?

How is that possible

[restive barn]

anyway does anyone's legs also turn to flax sticks and freak out after a few kills???

[edgy pewter]

all the time

[near lichen]

I hate that guy so much it's always personal with that boss

[edgy pewter]

i keep falling down from just standing

like at the start before i even do anything

[tight isle]

restarting the game fixed it sometimes the phys engine just bugs

[restive barn]

what did he do

[tight isle]

be bald

[sick hare]

punched willie so hard in the face with baron that he crashed the game

[restive barn]

for whatever reason the greatsword handle makes it so the blade is backwards XD

[slow jolt]

commoner boss gets my blood pumping

why wont he DIE

[tight isle]

this is what chugging a monster before heading into the arena does to willie

[edgy pewter]

looks more like cocaine

[tight isle]

true

[slow jolt]

has anyone beat commoner boss without stabbing him

i resort to alt every time

because i cant seem to damage him enough with slashes to the arm

[edgy pewter]

if i manage to get past his stupid sword i can usually cut a arm off

[slow jolt]

i see

[sick hare]

we talked about it earlier if im not crazy

what i usually do, is always wait for him to attack

[slow jolt]

no i mean like i can beat him now

[sick hare]

he takes more time than others to recover from his attacks to u can punish him when he does so

[slow jolt]

hmm maybe ive asked how to kill him enough

ive asked like 3 times mostly because i just really hate the guy

[sick hare]

me too

[slow jolt]

never knew he had a longer punishment period though

thanks for the advice

[sick hare]

after defeating the beggar boss, this one is the most difficult

after that, they fall pretty easily imo

[slow jolt]

yeah

im hardstuck on veteran boss rn

tall, bald guy

lots of armor

[sick hare]

when he does the vertical slash, there u go

cuz if he slashes horizontaly, he does take some time to recover but it's shorter

and he can continue to slash from the position he is in

[restive barn]

hold on im having glitches

[sick hare]

in this case, he has to rise his sword and then attack again

[sick hare]

another friday

[sick hare]

if he tries to stab, just swoop away your weapon to deflect it and u have free kill

[slow jolt]

man you must REALLY hate that guy

good job

thanks for the advice

very epic

[sick hare]

i have a little over 15hours on the game, 8 of them are just fight him or getting to him

this shit is the dark souls of the physics games

and i love it

[slow jolt]

so true

[sick hare]

im going to sleep, gl dude

[slow jolt]

gn man

thanks

FINALLY I BEAT VET BOSS

[worthy rover]

mate how do I use your modded weapons? I mean I just use the loadout loader mod to load your .sav file?

[cold berry]

What do yall think the best weapon is, and why is it the large candelabra

[restive barn]

yes

just put folder in ovrdth thingy

[worthy rover]

great, thx u 🙂

hope you will make a big bardiche in future ❤️

[restive barn]

i wont 😄

[worthy rover]

Hahahaha lol

[restive barn]

oh yeah im a musician too

[quasi narwhal]

this new patch is actually cool i like it

[mighty linden]

i don't really like the new slow-mo sound

the rest is fine

[restive barn]

it rattles my headphjones

[raven plover]

wait til he swings, get as close as possible, start slashing/stabbing

[fallen iris]

since this update dropped, my characters legs start to squat, and then they just fall out beneath him

everything else is cool, though. maybe is the faster dodge causing problems? i usually dont pick that faction, but idk

[restive barn]

fair

[fallen iris]

sometimes kicking it prevents it, but running out of stamina isnt viable, either

[slow jolt]

maybe willie just wanted to exercise?

[fallen iris]

well. not the time or place lol

[slow jolt]

thats fair

[quasi narwhal]

i dont know if its just me but does blood pooling look a little different

[fallen iris]

sent it in game-footage. it's frustrating because it's caused me a life or two

[slow jolt]

gl with the bug man

you cant just exit out?

[fallen iris]

idk. may verify, could be an engine bug. i do, but some deaths are too quick to avoid

his feet fall behind him and his head flies forward, typically headbutting weaponry

[slow jolt]

DANG

really unfortunate

[fallen iris]

true. worked out in the clip i took of it though

[quick wolf]

Its the stick with spikes gng

[storm storm]

what's different now?

I haven't played recently

I hope the pooling isn't predermined like before anymore

[quasi narwhal]

not sure if the blood pooling ever was, but the best way i can describe it is that i see a different characteristic. the blood looks more wispy and varies rather than circular sometimes

[storm storm]

I think it's because they added glare in this update

Nothing else changed

just more sunlight reflecting

[quasi narwhal]

i wish i could send a photo here that illustrates it well

[naive wedge]

demi god moment

[robust hedge]

yo is there linux support?

[naive wedge]

idk

[robust hedge]

very very helpful

why is bro whining

[gusty matrix]

Hey i can't seem to play anyhthing except for the foggy area. when i try gauntlet or free mode it only just resets the character. it'll only let me play abyss. plz help

[bronze spade]

broken arm

[quasi narwhal]

sometimes i lowkey want to rip my willie off fighting the commoner boss

[jovial temple]

try pitchfork

[worthy rover]

Do power lock strength affect also your grip on your weapons? Or just the grip strength when you grab your opponent?

[quasi narwhal]

i don't have that as an option in this rank

[jovial temple]

you can still use a peasant against commoner boss

just select it

although you might be locked out of rerolling i dont really remember how that worked

[gusty matrix]

Someone plz answer my question from earlier

[quasi narwhal]

hold on, so you mean even if the commoner boss is my current opponent, i can use a lower class the whole time?

[jovial temple]

yep

[quasi narwhal]

damn i gotta use the peasant and use the pitchfork. will update on that

[jovial temple]

works like a charm

except when you miss your initial stab

[quasi narwhal]

true

reach vs reach will finally find fairness

[jovial temple]

that mf feels unusually tanky as well

[summer pollen]

reminder that headbutts are effective

[gusty matrix]

How do I get out of the foggy area

[pallid oar]

its the abyss

i don't think

you can get out

either die

alt f4

or go back to menu

[gusty matrix]

like how do i play free mode. or gauntlet?

[pallid oar]

erm

boot up the game

and just

[gusty matrix]

every time i try it just resets character

[pallid oar]

[pallid oar]

ah

uninstall it completely

even from app data

reinstall

view integrity of installed files

and then just play

[gusty matrix]

How do i do that?

[gusty matrix]

i tried that. it said it verified all 201 files. I booted up the game and clicked free mode. but i don't know what to do

[pallid oar]

read what i said

ima explain in screenshots

[gusty matrix]

Oki

wait

i think i got it

[pallid oar]

and then reinstall

@gusty matrix

[gusty matrix]

Bro i have this giant spiky stick and it's sooo good

3 for 3 with it

[spiral meteor]

real men fight with only their fists

[gusty matrix]

I'm new T-T

[spiral meteor]

well you'll get used to it

i just set the damage to enemies all the way up and the damage to me halfway

[gusty matrix]

omg you can do that?

And thank you @pallid oar

[spiral meteor]

install half sword enhancer too

[gusty matrix]

Oki

[pallid oar]

[fallen iris]

holy shit i just got to the ultimate challenge legitimately

[summer pollen]

would slapping someone with their severed hand count as a dueling invitation?

[fallen iris]

i did it first time to unlock baron mode in freeplay but i just got to it w out adjusting damage, having it even in the middle

[tight isle]

ladidadidadi

[winged kindle]

guys how do i fix the final challenge issue where armor and helmet don't drop

[fallen iris]

wym

its not a guarentee from each enemy to drop something besides their weapon

[winged kindle]

ohh

i thought it was supposed to be 100%

[pallid oar]

stupid mace user

[gusty matrix]

bruh my arm just got cut off

[pallid oar]

cold

[fallen iris]

dude. i hate polearm willies so much

[pallid oar]

ok

im now getting fatal errors

when i even swing

[winged kindle]

I'VE FINALLY DONE IT

I GOT BARON

[errant saffron]

hell yeah

i remember killing my baron with bare hands because willie wouldnt hold a poleaxe longer than 5 seconds

just slapped him until he tripped

[winged kindle]

lmao

lowkey this guy is hella tanky

but he can barely damage u

hes slow af

[errant saffron]

until he pulls out his sword

[winged kindle]

but im guessing if u got hit by one swing u gonna get insta knocked

[winged kindle]

luckily he didn't pull it out

i had no arm protection

one swing and im gone

[errant saffron]

the ultimate challenge is so frustrating

cuz u cant heal

[slow jolt]

plancon goated

[winged kindle]

true

i mostly died to the first duo guys

[slow jolt]

is ultimate challenge after gauntlet?

[winged kindle]

yes its the last rank

u don't lose progress if u die in the ultimate challenge

but its really really hard

[cunning aspen]

Pitchfork is trash

[winged kindle]

it isn't?

[pallid oar]

ok so knight is broken]

[tight isle]

british dental care

[fallen iris]

what is brokenn about it

i just finished knight and am now on ultimate challennge

like an hour ago, anyway

[silent torrent]

Unfortunately it's semi required

You can't really move your sword with the same control Willie has himself

[pallid oar]

too much flouride

[errant saffron]

i love getting a fatal error the moment i injure the baron

[latent moon]

willie uses 1% of his power

[cursive fjord]

Why? I think most of them are fun to fight except for the warstaff, fuck the warstaff all my homies hate the warstaff.

[whole sandal]

she joineth on my battle til I consider

[cursive fjord]

Seeing that people are making custom weapons now it would be cool to see a swordstaff modded into the game.

[pallid oar]

armor blood is real

[restive barn]

guys

i mod

I MAKE WEAPONS HALF SWORD

DOWNLOAsd THEM OR ILL EAT YOU

[river steppe]

im runnin circles around ya

[sleek valve]

the most cowardly of all cowards (+ the most autistic of all willies)

[raven plover]

it’s one of the best weapons

[latent moon]

is this an actual parry or just half sword logic

[sleek valve]

they punished me for using op weapons

[fickle blade]

Can I store items on my back?

[sleek valve]

no because noone really did that in the actual medieval era other than i guess maybe on their belt but not something like the shoulder thing

[past mirage]

I love the background music lol

[fickle blade]

So I can't store items anywhere?

[past mirage]

How do you get that big of a arena? is it a setting

[past mirage]

on your sides

[sleek valve]

this never actuallly existed in medieval times.. BUUUTT

[fickle blade]

How

[soft kelp]

"peasant boss is so hard"

[past mirage]

hold E or Q I think

[fickle blade]

Ohh thx

[past mirage]

everything is easier with a pointy stick lol

[sleek valve]

they did THIS, which you can do ingame by holding e or q

[soft kelp]

you can just cut him in half while he tries to do a downwards strike too

[sleek valve]

honestly peasant boss wit a pitchfork is basically cheating and peasant bos with anything else is basically stupid

theres no inbetween

peasant boss with a sickle would be pretty cool though but you definetly wouldnt be able to kill him with that shortass weapon

[tulip valley]

Hi , i heared that you can add mods to the game is that right ?

[sleek valve]

while theres no official mod support the modders still found a way

its definetly nothing like ppg or blade and sorcery though

you kinda gotta follow tutorials

[naive holly]

Knife is fire tbh

[twilit escarp]

so i tried to do a brave stand and this is what i got

they didn't even give my man underwear.

THE SUBJECT HAS SECURED A WEAPON

HE'S STILL IN IT

[thorny perch]

It did

[raven plover]

peasant boss is easy with anything cuz he’s only got one small blade like 5ft from him so if you just walk at him he can’t do anything

[pearl cliff]

me shaking hands with the baron after cleanswording his ass

[idle crane]

The largest shield

[sleek valve]

source now sire

[sleek valve]

finally a willie picture with willie's willie (or the lack of it)

[twilit escarp]

yeah, stumpy over there still managed to kill 4 men with his dick (or whatever it is) swinging in the wind

[sleek valve]

willie isnt a guy nor a woman, he's an extra-dimensional being that can clone itself with no genital parts, he does not poop nor pee, all he does is kill, and kill, and kill

he is a true war machine

a MEDIEVAL war machine

[sleek valve]

and yet he gets knocked out instantly by the blunt end of a pitchfork

or gets his torso sliced by an unsharpened dull axe

[pearl cliff]

what an idiot

hea accidentally cut off his own hands, im not even kidding

[robust barn]

have the devs mentioned if they plan on adding firearms?

i wanna keep 5 pistols on me and just chuck em as i shoot em

[void orbit]

ranged weapons are on the table, not sure about handgonnes. would be period accurate afaik

[robust barn]

wahoo

my brother just discovered half sword for the first time

i forgot how magical it felt the first time i played it too

[grave crypt]

wait guys in the photography can u send multiple photos in one message

[silent torrent]

I chose out the heaviest(?) armour yesterday and it put me in peasant tier fights for some reason; you see to have the reverse

[cold nebula]

The new weapon handling is soooo gooood (except polearms still have a mind of their own sometimes)

[bleak portal]

Oh huh, didn't know you can actually stab the gap

[cursive fjord]

He's red for an amazing reason!

[twilit escarp]

who says sword fights have to be flashy

[bleak portal]

This sword's really thin

[twilit escarp]

i do love a good halfsword stab kill, but kicking people into fence posts is also funny.

punching got nerfed too hard

[zinc meteor]

Smh Its kinda ok

It was strong. I once punched a guy so hard he did 270 vertically

[restive barn]

https://tenor.com/view/epic-embed-fail-ryan-gosling-cereal-embed-failure-laugh-at-this-user-gif-20627924

[river steppe]

it doesnt feel realistic anymore like you punch someone full force in the face and it only scuffs them

punches to the body just feel like you're hitting a wall

[solemn mist]

Thats realastic, our qillies are average, fullpower punch gonna do concussiosn at best, not knocking the target hundreds of feet

[river steppe]

not even concussions

[solemn mist]

Our willie removed arm day

[river steppe]

idk how i feel about the new physics like its cool that i dont fall down as often but that also applies to the enemies sooo

[solemn mist]

Much more balanced, no more instant game ends

[river steppe]

i guess

[solemn mist]

Its a fairtrade sonny

[zinc meteor]

Tbh I had this and mf got up in an instant. It was like the "I will sit on your face if u win" meme

[solemn mist]

[zinc meteor]

He basically one shot me

[solemn mist]

So can we sit on his face

[zinc meteor]

(I still won tho, they stuid and cant punch you when youre on the ground)

I teabagged him yes

[worthy rover]

Any clue about if when the game will be released, the demo will be shut down?

I'm going to portest if demo shuts down (I'm broke)

But the game might release a coupkle fo years mroe later

THey mgiht eb working on more content

Early access gonna come out this year likely

I want it free

[zinc meteor]

Your grammar is peak WIlly

[solemn mist]

Yes fine ser

Perhaps my flithy tongue does not fit thy taste of thou, ifst the case cannot be wadged with no doubt, I may speak of thy high towers

[worthy rover]

Yeah I know, I will literally pay anything to the Devs for their super cool work. Just wondering about all modded stuff that are coming out that meaby will be lost forever if not able to load on the definitive version

[solemn mist]

Lowets bar for it

[still gazelle]

What weapon is "the warstaff"

[solemn mist]

Im sure they will have soem support for it, espically with them listening to the community

[still gazelle]

the poleaxes?

[zinc meteor]

Dude the mods for this game will go cray

crayons

[solemn mist]

Spear with spikes on it, seen in tier 4

[solemn mist]

Thats poleaxe

[restive barn]

goeden

and planc

[river steppe]

so i hit him and he decides to stay still for my final punch? this never happened before the update

[zinc meteor]

That thing is a portable warcrime. Its op

[solemn mist]

I can predict the sta people gonna mod about

[worthy rover]

Yeah is already in review in their roadmap

[solemn mist]

True

[solemn mist]

Mods gonna be crazy

Speak of thy proper tongue, flith!

,translate

I can't trust google translate bro

[still gazelle]

NPCs are much stabler now, similar to preblood build

[solemn mist]

Speak englush💔

🤔

Alright

[zinc meteor]

I can read it. He said the n word

[river steppe]

why are they standing still and letting me get behind

[solemn mist]

😭

[still gazelle]

you broke their nose and they are stunned/about to give up

[zinc meteor]

Because willy has an iq of 73

[solemn mist]

Mods gonna fry this vro alive💔

[river steppe]

oh ok

[still gazelle]

but before this update breaking the nose would always make them fall over

[zinc meteor]

Yes

[solemn mist]

Tbh if someone broke my nose, I might fall too

[still gazelle]

now its like pre blood update where you could bash the face and they would just stumble/stun but not collapse right away

[solemn mist]

[still gazelle]

I'm not a nose breaking expert, but I've seen it happen a few times, and have had my own nose partially broken once. Generally the reaction is just to reach up to your face with your hands and keel forward a bit, then usually either sit down or kneel from the pain

[solemn mist]

Its confirmed, our willies are tuff

[still gazelle]

Dont think I've seen anyone ever collapse entirely from just a nose being broken

[solemn mist]

Bruh

[jade garden]

how did they manage to make fist fights so annoying after the new update

[solemn mist]

BACKKICK

[still gazelle]

anyone feel like performance is down a bit with this update?

[solemn mist]

Fps is stable, less glitches

Vary rore

[still gazelle]

I'm getting like 35 fps now where I used to be at 60+

probably my machine then

[river steppe]

[solemn mist]

Stop sending corn bro

Where the fuck is moderation

tbh this is kinda cool, you get to slap the shit out of someone and watch them stand stunned

Discord wants us to laugh at him

[solemn mist]

[humble bloom]

It used to just say deleted message.
Discord mustve 1st degree murdered it's own UI again in an update

[zinc meteor]

As alwaysy

[river steppe]

does anyone have any good clips of throwing willies into the fence? this is the best i could manage

[soft osprey]

Bad word bad word!

[solemn mist]

Bad word!

Throw him into dugeon!

[zinc meteor]

I would if my PC wouldnt lag so much when I do

[solemn mist]

This is murderous

[zinc meteor]

Throw him into the kitchen. The one in the dungeon.

[humble bloom]

There is no other word that accurately describes what discord is doing.
But fine, I'll edit it if you want.

[still gazelle]

fixed it with a restart also saw my resolution was mismatched 1080 instead of 2160 so now its working fine again

[solemn mist]

Fate worse than death

[solemn mist]

Woah🥳

[still gazelle]

1440p idk where I pulled 2160 from

[solemn mist]

Gpu tweaking

[still gazelle]

I'm tweaking

also I have never understood how going to a resolution beneath native resolution can make performance worse

[solemn mist]

I used to have halfsword unplayable, btu sicne I upradged my ram, I cna finally and ts so good

[solemn mist]

More load on hardware

[upper wigeon]

Every time I enter this chat it feels like I'm walking into the local village that's currently getting raided

[upper wigeon]

Warstaff is nerfed for armor

[solemn mist]

Benefits for the rich

Not approved

[upper wigeon]

Gambeson will still get punctured from my testing

[solemn mist]

[still gazelle]

So less blunt damage?

[jade garden]

my greatest rival is willie with spear bro

spears are just generally weird

[upper wigeon]

Let's flesh damage through armor

[jade garden]

you can one shot with them

[upper wigeon]

Blunt damage is nerfed across from the legs buffed imo

[solemn mist]

Use low or torso guards

Might work 25% of time

[upper wigeon]

But hammers etc still feel in a good spot

[still gazelle]

tbh what made it so good is the buggy collusion almost guaranteeing you could catch the armpits, neck, crotch, or feet

[solemn mist]

Woah

[upper wigeon]

I think thats what they were aiming to reduce

[jade garden]

I cant get past commoner 💔

[still gazelle]

Just chop at them then rake the spikes across the body and you almost always catch something

[solemn mist]

Same💔

[jade garden]

shits wild

[still gazelle]

commoner is the axe dude?

[solemn mist]

[still gazelle]

just charge him with fists I am serious

[upper wigeon]

Commoner is the forbidden one

[river steppe]

commoner is sword dude

[solemn mist]

No, teh oen with a bloody greatsword

[still gazelle]

oh him

[dapper trail]

hes easy if you train

[still gazelle]

I never struggle with him idk maybe I am lucky

[upper wigeon]

He punishes hesitancy

[solemn mist]

I cna't get apss commoner, times I get pass are where I throw my thing and it hits

[still gazelle]

just dodge his first swing and doink his fleshy skull

or go for a stab anywhere on his torso or arms

I get him with the long peasant knife sometimes

[upper wigeon]

Slow mo stab certainly feeling like an easier way to beat him post patch

[solemn mist]

Long peasant knife

[zinc meteor]

So real

[still gazelle]

slow mo makes me feel slimey

Weapons I would like to see more viable are all the single handed clubs

[solemn mist]

I hate maces

[still gazelle]

thats the word thank you

[solemn mist]

Youre welcome, sir

[still gazelle]

tbh whenever I try to talk about the weapons in this discord I feel like that dude who likes pokemon go but doesnt know any of the names and he's getting interviewed by the news and they keep cutting to this girl who is having a melt down about him using the wrong names

[soft osprey]

Yes

[still gazelle]

https://youtu.be/ha0VNUt3YjM?si=Jy5z7nLzENh8Xoa_

this guy

[solemn mist]

😭

[still gazelle]

I'm like "man I love the giant machetes with the forearm shields"

[upper wigeon]

That's fair

Other legit strats are max range parry to riposte so your sword doesn't hit your head

Or slashing the gap as someone said

You can also fence cheese by thrusting him backwards

Or pitchfork cheese

[still gazelle]

and then folks are like, oh you mean the falchions?

[solemn mist]

I forgot teh name too, I thought they were cutlasses, they werent

[raven plover]

wait til he swings then just chop chop chop

or use pitchfork and stab him and he cant reach you

[solemn mist]

Cutlasses aren't supposed to cleave you in half

[solemn mist]

[upper wigeon]

🏴‍☠️ 🦜

[solemn mist]

Oiiiii aiiiii

🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[still gazelle]

I usually just backstep away from his first swing then go for a head chop if I miss I just pressforward and try to get inside his effect range to put him off balance

then back up while he rebalances and try again

[upper wigeon]

Yar harrrr

[solemn mist]

[upper wigeon]

😂 😂 😂

[solemn mist]

[still gazelle]

I would totally buy the discord PFP effects if they werent 5 to 10 dollars

[still gazelle]

for a teeny tiny vector animation its insanity to me that they cost more then like 25cents

[upper wigeon]

I got gifted nitro and some stuff but otherwise I wouldn't either

[still gazelle]

they should have gone for the steam market system

[solemn mist]

They might be ea cousins

[still gazelle]

do loot boxes or limited drops of the various animations then let people sell them to eachother and dictate the prices

probably thats how it is on steam market already, but generally things are still functional

[mighty wind]

I assume you need to lvl up for image rights

[solemn mist]

Just functional enough

[solemn mist]

Yes ser

[still gazelle]

also hey why can I use foreign emojis I dont have nitro

[solemn mist]

Senophobia

[mighty wind]

Probably weird way to announce myself, but Im a furry and seeing Frundsberg's flag/standard ingame made me pog

(My character has that flag on their banner)

[soft osprey]

I think that has to do with server levels? Unless you’re using a third party software

[still gazelle]

whats the opposite of this I like the foreign emojis I normally cant bring them with 😢

[solemn mist]

Servers tend to dislike foreign emojis

[still gazelle]

I am boring I dont have any discord mods and I dont think a server/bot plugin gives you that ability

otherwise it would reduce profits by eliminating probably the largest incentive to use nitro

[vernal oyster]

ask grappler's guild they definitely have some insane ones

[soft osprey]

You can do it through third party software, that’s one of the ways we catch people putting themselves lol

Because third party software isn’t allowed here

But idk

Beyond that

[still gazelle]

oh hey neat I have nitro

next question

H O W

I just got a free day from watching one of the adds discord puts in the little corner in the bottom left

No I do try quite often

I have knocked someone over with a thrown shield

didnt save it because the physics made it look very ugly

I have this very clean neck slice

[dapper trail]

good one

ooohhs

me too

[still gazelle]

I especially like that I made a clean set up slashing his hands down before slicing the next though the intent was more to gouge his head with the spikes rather then slice the neck

[dapper trail]

back kick

also look at my slowmowmodcool
