bro can't even figure out how to run the game or play and comes into an abscure niche demo discord screaming insults into the eather

rocky hull
#

so we just making stuff up now?

shell bronze
#

no i might have beef with drinky but i stand with him on this one

rocky hull
#

saying that as if anyone cares

shell bronze
#

whole lot of entitlement for a free demo handed out to you

rocky hull
#

your name really speaks for you

shell bronze
#

pretending that no one cares won't really help your case here

rocky hull
#

W logic

shell bronze
#

never said that

rocky hull
#

you just did

#

we making more stuff up now?

shell bronze
#

nope

rocky hull
#

lets keep playing pretend

shell bronze
#

you're free to complain while i point out how much you seem to expect from an unfinished physics based product in its early conception

rocky hull
#

early lmaoo

#

are we talking about the same game here

#

I also only complained about literally one thing and its the amount of crashing that happens for no reason when blood is turned up

#

its really simple to manage that im a developer myself

white sierra
#

game runs fine

rocky hull
#

I dont even think its the blodo

shell bronze
#

on god

#

i've seen potato people run this game fine

rocky hull
#

I crash at random moments doesnt really matter the amount of blood around me

#

it just says like unexpected error or whatever

shell bronze
#

if it's random it might be a game file or hardware/software thing

white sierra
#

what graphics settins do u even play on? cinematic at 1440? lol

stable rivet
#

kind of being mr obvious here, but did you try reinstalling?

shell bronze
#

they're already working on a different gore system anyways to mitigate the third party blood plug-in issue

stable rivet
#

i recommend also using dx11, my game runs worse on dx12

proven verge
white sierra
stable rivet
#

just me on that though

shell bronze
#

if your gpu is newer dx12 does some favors but dx11 is just way easier to render and deal with for anything else

#

being an older more well-integrated API

here comes the ragebait card

@wind charm also the axe end is better than the hammer/spike end for the higher end polearms right

looks like ive already won ig

was playing with someones weapon mod pack the other day, and there was a weapon in there called METAL POLE, it was very heavy and unwieldly, idk how i did it but i hit this quirky ahh anime flourish with it. it made me actually lol

shell bronze
#

that's surprising, i figured it should've been the lightest

#

my favorite high tier polearm config has to be axe with the pick at the end + hook on the other half

wind charm

even before i could swing a sword properly i was already learning how to cheese with my favorite polearm configuration

i just swing normally, alt i rarely use outside of forcing distance

#

i usually only feel the difference in handling between swords

#

i forget it's nuanced across all weapons

regal juniper
#

When I tune a weapon with intention of it going OP, to squeeze out the most damage without sacrificing handling, it goes into multiple decimal points of adjustment, and it can take 3-4 days spending 6-8 hours per day.

shell bronze
#

because the randomly spawned bastard sword i use vs the shorter commoner one both have their own feel

#

commoner one makes it way easier to immediately flick to a stance/guard from neutral instead of having to adjust/glide to it

regal juniper
#

The weapons that have fixed mass and handling are the non modular weapons like the tools, the standard 1H and 2H axe, the halberds, Billhooks, and Spears

regal juniper
shell bronze
#

the 2h axe

#

the axe that bypasses and ignores gore settings all the way to 0

regal juniper
#

Especially in the hands of NPCs 🤣

white sierra
shell bronze
#

the way willie randomly swipes that axe around is genuinely egregious

#

it grabs and it will end you

regal juniper
#

When we play, we are using human hand-mouse control of the stroke line, variable and dependent on skill. When NPC fights, they are going thru an programmed stroke line depending on their randomized Ai level

#

So it’s hard to compare control of players vs NPCs

# white sierra oh, that ones comes up as care2share in ovrdth right? there's some fun weapons i...

Yes, the largest pack around still, but because I am the first, many things I had to experiment and figure out myself, looking back there are much things I am not happy with and has been redoing them. There are also much unreleased weapons. They will all be released in the future, OP and crazy stuff, for the general player looking for fun. While at the moment I am also focusing on subdued, “non OP but improved weapons handling” for serious players looking to achieve better combos and moves. Currently in collab project with M00. The big pack will come after that.

ive been beating the daylights out of this guy for like 5 minutes now and he just isnt giving up

i COULD knock him out whenever by just beating him up while hes down but thats the cowards way out, this man has been punched hard enough to break his jaw or cut open some wound of his (blood splatter came out after a punch to the lower jaw upper neck area)

hes also been downed like 4 times now and he still tries to defeat me

muted dew

hes FINALLY down for good

white sierra
#

lately, i've been trying to figure out a consistent way to lift people and do more grappling, i think the guy who made halfsword enhancer is working on a mod for something like that.
i just love how diverse this game is in the ways that you can play it. it seriously never gets old.

yeah the man at arms stick

that thing is lowkey fun to mess with

nothing on the other end and it's shorter too

#

i would assume handling differences are probably the result of armor, yeah

white sierra

regal juniper
#

Handling different other than mass and geometry, are also largely determined by the movement modules, which is tiered. If it’s the same, then there wouldn’t be need for separate modules denoted by tiers in the game structure

While I read the game structure on file, it feels like so to me too. And M00 confirmed it with video comparison

Objective: slay the giant

regal juniper
#

Also, it doesn’t always mean higher tier weapon will be a better weapon. Luck of the lottery draw may make it less ideal if it’s randomized in a way that the balance is off. Modular weapons are all randomized in some ways to give variety in the game

i do

and i love to torture that willie when i win

a slow.. painful DEATH

#

spam m1 & m2 and try to grab their head and hold both m2 and m1 and punch their head

#

insta win

#

or even kill sometimes

#

due to neck break

#

i do a torturing way sometimes

#

no.

First, punch the willie till they cant attack, grab their head and land two heavy punch on head, then grab with both hands and shake his head , and then ram into a fence with the willies hand grabbed infront of you, making the willie hit the fences and bite them one by one, and when that is done, throw them and grab a sharp object and slash their neck and shake their head till it dies or neck break, and then drop them, if you see blood spit out, that meeans you killed him

#

yoo im new to the server but like i got to man at arms for the actual game, the thing where everting goes black and you have to fight to regain your rank thats super annoying, anithing to do about that or?

short pagoda
#

no but make them hit their head to the fences

white prairie
#

yeah i know but its just super annoying also any tips for the actual game?

#

sometimes you just get that when the other guy shold die before you do

short pagoda
#

or armor

#

cuz fist and kick is lethal if you learn to use it

#

whattttt

#

fist is just aim for the head right?

yeah

you can also spam it

white prairie
#

also yeah candle is very broken

candle (large one) has very much the chance to break neck everytime

i land that everytime i want to

it one shots if the neck breaks

Its a program that lets your graphics card spin faster and work harder than it's technically supposed to, by default

ooh

floral imp

anything that is above 20 fps is acceptable

fierce acorn
#

yeah

floral imp
#

your eyes technically barely notice anything above 20 fps

so i dont understand why people get like 120 fps

since when was it 60 fps

#

the leaking blood looks a bit cubical for some reason

naive holly

They're gonna redo gore for early access

They can

fierce acorn

get him to thrust more or something

floral imp
#

aka in hands

naive holly
#

Just for fun

#

Anyways I image its because the arms get janky and end up with your sword behind you etc, and grabbing the blade.

Just easier this way for now

floral imp

to be fair

yeah

no he wasnt im always right

he was literally pushing me

but aiming for the clavicle/neck area and slicing diagonally downwards is a surefire way to guarantee victory if you don't get hit first

let me send some examples it's very straightforward to execute and relies more on timing/precision with the swing than anything else

proper samurai/kenjutsu technique

DON’T play Half Sword at 3am‼️‼️

naive holly
shell bronze
#

yeah start from that stance and either bait the enemy into swinging first or be the first one to swing

#

full force/commitment and make sure it's properly diagonal

naive holly
#

My control is like a 6/10 so well see what I end up with

shell bronze
#

guaranteed insta kill if the strike lands well

shell bronze
#

and have you feeling like a proper samurai with the way you butcher people in one clean swing

naive holly
#

Im surprised you dont do more unsheathes but I also imagine that's some media hyped up misconception

#

But idrk

shell bronze
#

iaijutsu is legit stuff but it's really not made for full combat

#

it's only for ambushed and preparedness

naive holly
#

Lowkey badass

#

but is usually reserved only for ceremony and showcases/solo stuff

marsh lodge
#

anyone know how to turn off trainer mod? i just installed it but im kinda confused on how to turn off the hud

shell bronze
#

doing it in half sword is also like a 60-80% gamble because of the way the sheath physics works

naive holly
#

Alr im trying these diagonal one taps

fierce acorn
#

my control is like a 3/10

shell bronze
#

that stance (if you're advanced enough) also allows you to do EVIL parries against willies who try to do left side strikes

willow cliff
#

i love my abyss run being ended because the enemy gets stuck IN MY HAND and wont despawn

fierce acorn
#

what

willow cliff
fierce acorn
#

`

#

maybe let go

#

idk

willow cliff
#

you think i didnt try that

fierce acorn
#

yeah i do think you didnt try that

willow cliff
#

its glitched into my hand

shell bronze
#

because instead of having to actually parry/block the strike the guard already has worked as intended so you just wind up an attack right as they hit you

fierce acorn
#

my half sword is fucking cursed wtf

naive holly
shell bronze
#

and usually for those types of parries you charge up a full vertical instead diagonal to take advantage

shell bronze
#

though you had the chance to brutally murder him the first second of the clip already

#

swing a bit more downwards though

naive holly
#

true lol i was fishing for the practice opportunity to whiff punish with it lol

#

i do notice its kinda your default in a bunch of clips

#

that parry was short and sweet tho i see the benefit

shell bronze
#

whiff punishing needs that back and forth motion

fierce acorn
#

fuckinghell i ran into my enemies sword as he was being downed my god 😭

shell bronze
#

you have to bait and leave their range before they even take their first swing

#

that's how you fight commoner boss

willow cliff
fierce acorn
#

damn

naive holly
#

oh yeah ik i was dancing like a mf for like three seconds before taking dude out

naive holly
#

my reaction time just gotta catch up

naive holly
#

aint like when i was a lad and we were mlg pro blops players

shell bronze
#

it's actually a lot less about reaction time

naive holly
#

for parries mainly i mean

#

but ye

shell bronze
#

like it does help for those crazy last second parries but really it's not essential to parrying as a whole

#

which is predictive

#

like you can see here

fierce acorn
#

why does my enemie's willy just flop around now 😭 i cant fucking win as much now

#

it flails like players

#

got dumbified smh my head

deep shale
#

im cooking rice in my kitchen rn
and ive gotta novice question for the players so it might be faster to ask here

what tier is the lowest tier which can do the brave stand fights

fierce acorn
#

knight

#

i think

shell bronze
# shell bronze

@naive holly what you do is you observe the certain movesets that they do and get used to where to put your sword to counter them

shell bronze
#

and once you're used to the standing parries you can start doing crouch parries

#

to give yourself more protection against leg swipes and to pull off some wild stunts like this

naive holly
#

my ass is far to stoned for the dojo im realizing

#

but am having fun figuring it out so thats a dub

fierce acorn
#

dmv by primus reference

willow cliff
#

do you regenerate limbs in the abyss if you manage to survive long enough or should you just restart if you lose a hand

fierce acorn
#

NO

shell bronze
#

restart

willow cliff
#

fuck

shell bronze
#

turn gore down or off if you get decapitated too much

#

it's a bit jank sometimes

naive holly
#

do you really play on grotesque i couldnt

shell bronze
#

i sure do

#

full gore full blood

naive holly
#

one my pc would straight die

shell bronze
#

makes for funny clips

naive holly
#

go ninight forever

willow cliff
#

i do cuz i like seeing limbs fly off then i get really fucking annoyed when some guy with a cleaver manages to take my entire arm off while i have armour

fierce acorn
#

so real

shell bronze
#

it's a lot of fun

fierce acorn
#

cleaver or falchion

#

@willow cliff

shell bronze
#

another tip on punishing misses @naive holly

willow cliff
#

polearm

shell bronze
#

don't launch your attack after they swing launch it right as they swing

#

there's always that delay before willie does what you want

naive holly
#

truth to that

shell bronze
#

so the moment you know they'll throw that wide swing immediately wind yours up

naive holly
#

im realizing im better at this side strike from the left, like accurately mirrored idk

tacit wasp
#

My goal every round is to provoke the bot to run at me and then hit them in the head to knock them out

shell bronze
#

it's still a good diagonal strike

near hamlet
#

i threw my sword nad it bounced off his helmet into his foot

shell bronze
#

regardless which side

near hamlet
#

very peak

shell bronze
#

if you're better with the left strikes play to your strengths

#

the goal is to simply kill willie

naive holly
near hamlet
#

update his foot dissapeared

shell bronze
#

@naive holly being good with swinging from the left is also how you can fight one handed users the absolute best

naive holly
shell bronze
#

notice how my wind up starts in the middle of their attacks

shell bronze
#

very proud of you

fierce acorn
#

literally buhurt i think from the video i saw once

shell bronze
#

exactly the proper way i would swing and kill

tacit wasp
#

If your opponent surrenders do y’all usually kill them or let them be

willow cliff
#

depends how much they pissed me off

shell bronze
#

your sword going towards them also parries those backlash swings that could kill you as they die

naive holly
fierce acorn
#

ususally let them be though

shell bronze

#

so i just figured i'll only upload clips when spoken to

fierce acorn

i was on ur side tho i think

wasa it after i went to sleep

fierce acorn

they just hate to hate

shell bronze
#

they were kind of in the right about the spam so

fierce acorn
#

i think its cool still

shell bronze
#

i'll only post with context from now

naive holly
#

hey clueless can you give me a dozen examples of how to parry

shell bronze
naive holly
#

BRUH

shell bronze
#

some bs will ALWAYS happen

#

so whenever someone asks me how to fight commoner i will always firmly and tell them

no

#

if you are seriously trying to beat the game and want to just get past him do not try to parry him

naive holly
#

some dude thought i was cheating w my axe kills on him because on one, he banged me with the flat of the blade, and on the other i got his throat before he connected

#

holup they fun clips

fierce acorn
#

half sword multiplayer?!

shell bronze
#

no lmao

fierce acorn
#

o

shell bronze
shell bronze
# naive holly

perfect examples of how to fight not just commoner boss but everything

naive holly
#

like, makes sense why i wasnt bisected

shell bronze
#

just time it

naive holly
#

trying to do the axe and hatchet runs were really fun actually

#

because theyre perfectly viable

#

well hatchet is actually better buuut

i should prob watch buhurt videos

i got to MAA before it was bedtime

theyre not complicated, i see the mouse movemnt, just timed so well

#

and like not panic flicking which is what i try very hard not to do, always feel like the guard is gonna break

fierce acorn
#

anyone else feel like playing at knight tier (2nd to last) has the willy's feel like they have a lot more personality

#

got a lucky hit

tacit wasp
#

Takes every hit like it’s nothing

fierce acorn
#

yeah lol

#

the illies just feel more like real people on knight tho

#

idk why

#

willeis*

tacit wasp
#

Yeah I’m what you mean, it’s more realistic

#

When I play in free mode I almost always play at knight tier

fierce acorn
#

yeah its so cool and fun bro

tacit wasp
#

Y’all ever pierce through the opponent’s visor?

#

I’ve done it a couple times I think

fierce acorn
#

nah i got close 1 time though

#

i dont have that level of control yet lol

tacit wasp
#

Bro wore the wrong helmet 😔

fierce acorn
#

would be so cool if they made the first person helmet view more like the itch.io version, in itch.io it's so pretty and more seeable

tacit wasp
#

Certain things are easier for me in first person, idk

naive holly
#

Alright ive collected mi clips

#

Not all good, but definitely all fun

fierce acorn
#

is this like buhurt?

tacit wasp

shell bronze
#

the last one to the baker's dozen is still being picked

fierce acorn
#

in itch.io u see all first person in barbute

tacit wasp
#

I was like hmm yes this will give me fantastic visibility and it was just…stare

#

I was flabbergasted

fierce acorn
#

yeah same lol

shell bronze
#

@fierce acorn just because you asked

tacit wasp
#

There’s one helmet at knight tier that essentially gives you full visibility and I can’t for the life of me remember which one it is

#

They’re all so slightly different

#

Except the armet

fierce acorn
shell bronze
#

it's really nothing too intricate but simply a combination of weapon placement, decent timing, and enough precision to take advantage of the parries

#

panic flicking usually either kills you or bails you out very well

fierce acorn
#

yeah

shell bronze
#

a bad habit in half sword is to let the fear of damage psyche you out of holding on to your training or properly learning

naive holly
shell bronze
#

the best way to fix this is to go practice with no gore and lowest damage setting to yourself until you stop hearing your own flesh get torn up

naive holly
#

Feel like one of those trapdoor spiders

shell bronze
#

practicing with damage against yourself at normal or higher will do nothing but infuriate you

#

and make you scared of the damage

#

and because you're worried about the damage you can take you play erratically

naive holly
shell bronze
#

there's no shame in learning from ground up

#

i'm willing to coach and help people get to this point

heady cradle
#

guys is it me or after a fatal error when i boot up the game every time i run my legs tangle up and stop moving its getting real annoying randomly stopping

naive holly

I mean irl youre not usually fighting with live blades when training

Like blades like live rounds 💀

how do i stop getting locked with my enemy willy?

#

or like

#

how do i get unlocked

tacit wasp
#

Is z the hotkey for that? Like combat lock?

shell bronze
#

z for lock on yes

worthy hearth
#

use surf and swim over to a truck. use strength on the truck. you should encounter the z key

shell bronze
#

you can also let go of mouse to immediately release lock on

fierce acorn
#

no not lock on

fierce acorn
#

i mean like when we keep hugging eachother or half sword on eachotheres necks

shell bronze
#

oh you mean like unbind yourself

fierce acorn
#

best i can do is squirm arund

#

it takes my stamina super quickly

fierce acorn
shell bronze
#

kick and try to turn around and/or crouch

tacit wasp
#

Sometimes if that happens to me I just drop my weapon and pick it up again 💀

shell bronze
#

yeah i do the same

fierce acorn

its a gamble/race on who saws the other in half first
