Any music suggestions?
It's mostly just going to be non-stop action, so something that fits as background music would be nice.

Game music is preferred because it doesn't get my channel copyright struck. Was thinking Witcher 3's tavern game music because it's pretty chill and upbeat.

Ok? I've never crashed. What i'm saying is, why am i all of a sudden crashing during the baron fight when there is no difference in gameplay to the 1v4 fights

twilit escarp
#

this is THE universal fix

#

there isn't another option

fierce terrace
#

Yeah i get that, it just seems weird that its only during baron

twilit escarp
#

devs are aware, of the issue, I'm certain

#

half sword is an EA demo after all

#

these issues will get resolved, the why of it is left up to what the devs are willing to reveal of their code

#

which I imagine is not a lot considering it's propietary

#

but we might get a basic why of it

fierce terrace
#

do they update the playtest much?

#

or at all?

twilit escarp
#

they're preparing for a full release in Q4 I believe, so it's unlikely we'll see another update until then.

#

the playtest is no longer supported

fierce terrace
#

Ah i see

twilit escarp
#

but the demo has had several iterations

fierce terrace
#

well its all one thing now isnt it?

#

They just merged the 2 together

twilit escarp
#

yup, but I still doubt we'll see another update until full release

manic cradle
#

why is his bones are so sharp

twilit escarp
#

Half Sword devs are incredibly based for putting the early access releases in our hands for free in the first place, so it's hard to complain about slow updates

minor mesa
#

any word if theyll keep the demo up when full release comesÉ

fierce terrace
twilit escarp
#

not that I'd recommend that

#

because like I say, half sword devs are based, and they deserve community support

vocal patrol
#

even if they kept the demo up, I'd buy the full release. It's more halfsword.

minor mesa
#

Id just assume if its taken down it would continue to be called a playtest rather than demo. Thats just my though process though

twilit escarp
#

well, it was called a demo long before it was called playtest

#

even though the first iteration was a couple years ago now at least

I appreciate the education in the language of the barbarians

austere salmon
jolly gorge
#

guys

twilit escarp
#

no but in all seriousness german is a cool language

#

and germany is a cool country

#

however, the goedendag is about half the size of the placon

#

and generally the spikes are less pronounced on the sides of the weapon

#

with the frontal point being far more pronounced

vocal patrol
#

is the plancon even real

twilit escarp
#

it's a spear you can bonk with in essence

austere salmon
jolly gorge
twilit escarp
#

not a polearm

#

not historically

austere salmon
#

there are special words for the lengths of goedendag, like langes goedendag for the longer spiked one

jolly gorge
twilit escarp
#

it was a peasant weapon akin to a billhook, but it was a spear you could bonk with in most use cases from what i can tell

#

and you'd only ever want to bonk with it if things were bad

#

because it's almost impossible to commit to an overhead swing in a formation using polearms

austere salmon
#

and also just generally more brutal

twilit escarp
#

again, thrusts do much more work than swings in a formation on formation fight

vocal patrol
#

in my opinion the plancon is a morning star and the french name should be burned

austere salmon
#

you're ignoring the core of the argument though, what you called a plancon is a fucking goedendag

austere salmon
vocal patrol
#

wgat the hell is an eveningstar

twilit escarp
#

the goedendag was the polearm

#

the plancon was the club

austere salmon
#

a long flanged mace with a spiked tip

twilit escarp
#

the eveningstar is not a real weapon

vocal patrol
twilit escarp
#

yes

austere salmon
#

no

#

morningstar is the one handed short one, eveningstar is more of a polearm

austere salmon
twilit escarp
#

"eveningstar" is not a weapon

austere salmon
#

brit

twilit escarp
#

it's a mordhau weapon skin

austere salmon
#

twilit escarp

before the 1900s, there were no real distinguishing factors between one type of sword and another type of sword

desert spear
#

Add Egyptian weapons to half sword

#

Plz ;3

twilit escarp
#

an estoc, an arming sword, a sabre, a kopesh and a machete would all be "sword" in historical manuscripts

austere salmon
twilit escarp
#

it's only recently we've decided they all need different names

twilit escarp
austere salmon
#

one thing that was very specific is a sword v a langes messer, and thats because of old german guild law

vocal patrol
#

anyways plancon a picot is fake

#

it's a mace

#

always has been

twilit escarp
austere salmon
twilit escarp
#

and how many hands one could use to feasibly manipulate the weapon using only the dedicated handle

austere salmon
#

the langes messer was legally distinct from a typical sword because it was a knife, the name literally means long knife, and was a workaround to guild law stating that knifemakers couldnt make swords, not even during times of need for more swords

desert spear
twilit escarp
desert spear
#

OH AND a macuahuitl

austere salmon
#

that was a side effect though, it originally came about because nobility needed more swords for their armies but were out of swordmakres to make more, so they asked the knifemakers guild to just make really long knives

# austere salmon true

I don't doubt your credentials, but it truly depends on which naming system you're using to define a weapon, the placon and the goedendag have almost the exact same root as weapons like the billhooks, they are hastily made weapons designed for use in warfare by the peasantry who were expected to purchase their own arms and armour

#

however by modern standards, the two are distinct

#

I got the two jumbled

austere salmon
#

by my standards the french dont get to name shit because they dont use their consonants properly

vocal patrol
#

hot take it's a stick

austere salmon
#

goedendag and langes goedendag

twilit escarp
#

one is a weapon designed almost exclusively for use in formation (goedendag) the other is designed with more flexibility in mind

#

at the cost of range

#

which, in formation fighting is the only thing that matters

austere salmon
#

fucking oiseux, seven letters and none work as you'd expect, thats pronounced wazo

vocal patrol
austere salmon
#

so to hell with the plancon, its a goedendag, and if you disagree im gonna beat you with a goedendag

twilit escarp
vocal patrol
#

goedendag is a dutch name and that's based

#

plancon a picot is a french name and that's cringe

vocal patrol
#

I know where my loyalties lie

austere salmon
vocal patrol
#

good day innit?

austere salmon
#

ah shit good day not good night

#

same principle though

twilit escarp
#

by the way, there is a whole wikipedia page dedicated to the classification of swords.

there are 38 generalised classes. they don't reflect the specific characterisations of any singular particular blade, but the categories they fall into alone.

#

and there are far more that fall outside of those classes

#

those are just the ones we agree on

#

the one thing no one should agree with is the french

vocal patrol
#

woah that's way too many

#

it should just be sword right

twilit escarp
#

and that is the exact thinking of 99% of swordmasters and smiths in the medieval period

dire portal
#

are broad or slim blade swords better for armor

twilit escarp
#

slim bladed swords are more effective in general in my experience

#

even for cutting use cases

austere salmon
twilit escarp
#

as all life eventually evolves into crab, all swords eventually evolve into estoc.

#

to be completely fair to the fr*nch, they keep some damn fine historical records.

dire portal
#

i just beat the baron in like 30 seconds as a commoner

twilit escarp
austere salmon
dire portal
austere salmon
#

because polearms are the natural evolution of all things, and zweihanders are the polearms of swords

twilit escarp
#

and only two handed weapons are necessary as a shield is wasted bulk

austere salmon
#

all weapons get longer and thicker as things go, slowly creating zweihanders of everything

twilit escarp
# dire portal what about targe

Targes primarily saw use as a sidearm, or as ornementation during jousts and tourney fights. it's a way to display your heraldry without having your tabard remade after every fight, or as something a lightly armoured skirmisher can use in a pinch

#

they were also used as targets during jousts

#

to avoid accidents and mitigate the risks involved with the splintering of lances

austere salmon
#

targes were also popular among scottish fighters as they were small and light, with thin grips allowing them to have a dagger in their hand

twilit escarp
#

the phalangites did a similar thing

shell bronze
#

wow that was a long day

#

time to farm more clips

twilit escarp
#

congratulations

#

small shields like bucklers and targes are 99% of the time a last-resort kind of thing

Helmet clubbing with swords always sucks when you can't stand even shoulders with them. Once you go lower it gets hard to land solid helmet hits

yeah that's why i stay veteran and lower

i fight buzzed 80% of the time

I can't do it. Get drunk too fast because hypoglycemia. Concentration instantly abandons me lol

One of the reasons I'm fighting in Knight tier rn. Everything moves so slow, easier to predict and strike

i have a glass of bourbon for myself whenever i sit down and start playing games

I like liquor, too much. So I stick to beers, easier to moderate and I can enjoy my games for loner without getting too unfocused

#

But I do love my Whiskey a couple times a year or so

#

beer don't taste good to me tbh

#

i'm 100% liquor

#

a good dry martini or godfather is all i need in my life after a long 9-10h shift

#

or a tom collins if i'm feeling something more fruity

serene tulip
#

there's such a large variety of beer but you kinda have to drink it for a bit to develop the pallete. I worked for a craft brewery for awhile (they did some okay spirits too).
Gradually came to learn a lot about different styles and get a good pallete for them

#

maybe I should get a cicero one day. Beer equivalent of a sommelier

shell bronze
#

yeah i cracked open a heineken a few months ago and just couldn't get the appeal

serene tulip
#

My primary go-to for casual drinking is literally just called "pub beer", it's like PBR in flavor profile but less like a meal in a can.
My favorite specific kinds are a double hellbach by Abita called "AndyGator" and a simple named "Tennessee IPA" from Black Abbey brewery. Can only get them when I visit back home in the south sadly

#

Liquor wise though, I just drink straight four roses on the rocks usually. But for cocktails I like a good sazerac

minor oasis

#

Also like gin, on the rocks neat, or with soda water

minor oasis
#

i call it the most beer of beers because of how basic it is, but its reliable

@minor oasis
it's pretty tasty. It's a Louisiana based brewery that does it and the first time I had it was at a good cajun place, the heavy flavor of the double hellbach cuts the spices of cajun nicely.

I wonder if I should do gin for my birthday this year. I do my best to stay away from liquor because I can't moderate well on it. I only have it a handful of times a year

without mixers gin tastes like spicy grass to me

Still, an acquired taste

gin i put lime and soda water to the top with 25ml simple 2:1 syrup

Kick is always my preference for putting distance.
Just think of pushing off the enemy, position yourself accordingly and kick.

You'll launch backwards and your opponent will usually stagger for a second if you land a good kick. Plenty of breathing room to reorient

#

The only downside is risking getting your legs chopped, but usually I pin down my enemy's weapon before launching off them

Recently did this with longsword to polearm. Already doing better than prob at least 90% of players (that sounds like I’m tough but a 90% bar is not that high for half sword) just cause of overall game experience over weapon experience. You can also see how starting at longsword dips into my polearm playstyle, compared to you in my polearm clips I’ve found myself less erratic if yk what I mean

Sometimes bastard can have a shorter blade but it is not universal, I’ve seen em with longer blades than my longsword

# tawny anvil Bastard sword is better than Longsword

Since both are terms created in modern dayt the overlap is immense. pretty much all bastard swords fall into the short to mid-size range of longswords and can just be seen as a slightly more specific term for a longsword
