halfsword-chat-⚔

[shell bronze]

plancon and voulge are prime candidates to murder baron

[wild pecan]

bro why do some of the npcs have fucking rubber skin

no blade penetrates them its just like a blunt weapon to them

[peak mason]

bruh ive been doing that. i guess its just a skill issue

[shell bronze]

do this

you got this bro i believe in you

[serene tulip]

I can still parry, just doesn't come as naturally right now.
I'm more marveling at how my brutality seems to have become even more unhinged

[shell bronze]

aggression and brutality trivializes half sword when combined with apt understanding of its mechanics

i enjoy grace

[serene tulip]

idk this is extremely graceful, just also stylishly brutal lol

at least the offensive strikes

[placid coyote]

@primal sentinel whats that image from?

[primal sentinel]

its in one of the windows on the balcony of the arena

i was just exploring

[graceful cosmos]

Stuff happens :)

[placid coyote]

thanks

[pearl ferry]

absolutely skewered this guy

[runic niche]

ok HEAR ME OUT

what if instead of halfsword

it was full sword

[calm fiber]

vros copying the joke i made 6 hours ago

lel

[waxen pulsar]

why do the npcs have such strong grip

[fierce acorn]

show

[waxen pulsar]

i hit you 3 times in the head with a hammer and you're still holding me 😭

[fierce acorn]

the joke YOU made

[placid coyote]

its two pictures up in photography

[fierce acorn]

show

[placid coyote]

i cant send pictures yet

[fierce acorn]

too bad (in a mean way)

[placid coyote]

yeah

[elfin abyss]

can they make it so our bones dont shatter as soon as we get hit with the tiny axe

[runic niche]

my boi got violated

[deep citrus]

I MADE IT 2 THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE

[mental kelp]

scalped

[graceful cosmos]

ruff

[deep citrus]

hardest part of the ultimate challenge seems to be getting through it without getting a fatal error

[fierce acorn]

that's the easiest part

hardest part is barely hard (defeating baron)

[deep citrus]

okay I've had three fatal errors within the span of 10 minutes

dx11 is what you put right?

[sweet hamlet]

is there a tangible difference? I should try dx11 if so

[deep citrus]

oh no I just heard it lessened the frequency of fata lerrors

legit the last three challenge runs were all stopped by a fatal error

[sweet hamlet]

I mean, that's definitely a difference

Turning down blood specifically reduces fatal errors, but I hate it

[deep citrus]

fourth

🥀

fifth

[trim knoll]

We have make it a quote right?

[mental kelp]

its time to hang up my coat, I'm done for 😭

[shell bronze]

no MORE STABBY.

[shell bronze]

only so much you can do with this game's controls lmao

[mental kelp]

yea its kinda weird too cause only two of the clips were really the same thing

granted my clips on yt are not nearly as good as the ones I send here and other discs

[grand yacht]

I've been trying to beat it for like a week now

[mental kelp]

zwerch

[shell bronze]

i like me a good zwerch from ox

[fierce acorn]

skill issue

[deep citrus]

I stopped after the sixth one clearly someone of higher power doesn't want me to try tonight 🥀

[fierce acorn]

no its your fault

[fierce acorn]

our king is at it again 🥹

[shell bronze]

turn blood down or off

will keep you going

[deep citrus]

I did

[shell bronze]

rip

divine intervention

[deep citrus]

I did the dx trick and turned blood nigh-off

[shell bronze]

leave my cult following alone

😂

[deep citrus]

I will kill god soon for this transgression

[fierce acorn]

do you Koreagraff

[shell bronze]

a great exercise for footwork and overheads is to do kendo overhead spams with a longsword

the longer the sword the easier and more forgiving

[graceful cosmos]

i guess i can call my style. The Gamblers Addiction?

[fierce acorn]

No

It's called The Delusional Scot

[shell bronze]

unironically one of the best ways to use longsword/greatsword in veteran and above

the barrage makes ai willie try to keep up with the constant guard changes while you stunlock them

and your armor keeps you alive well enough for you to keep at it

[graceful cosmos]

at this point im just going on Muscle memory or something

[shell bronze]

and either they get knocked out or the massive cutting surface of the sword will catch on to some flesh

but i often try to hold to my principles of graceful combat

[fierce acorn]

can confirm

[wind charm]

I have certain maneuvers for some situations, to be fair blud rushed me with the same move so I decided to not miss the second time

[fierce acorn]

as a king does

the gameplay is so smooth tho

@wind charm (both of you)

[mental kelp]

Heart reacted on ur own chat 🥀

[shell bronze]

shiii nothing wrong with some self love

[wind charm]

watch me

[mental kelp]

Negative aura

[fierce acorn]

To you

Infinite aura for m00 and clueless thugh

though

[wind charm]

You want aura? Lemme show you how to use a Longeswarde.

[shell bronze]

<30% damage to NPCs makes for a fun hack and slash experience

[mental kelp]

This is not

[fierce acorn]

beautiful

[fierce acorn]

Yes it is

[shell bronze]

biblically accurate way of using longsword

if it kills the enemy, it is valid.

[fierce acorn]

biblically accurate the way m00 is god

[shell bronze]

weapon aura

[mental kelp]

Possessed hatchet

when your inv full before your trident comes back

[fierce acorn]

[shell bronze]

the rpg rogue/assassin build deadass be like

[graceful cosmos]

I just have fun :)

[graceful cosmos]

And i bet this game will eventually get MP

i can sense it coming

[fierce acorn]

[wind charm]

this took me ages to find lmao

[ember flame]

well it depends what mp your talking about if its local then yes its already been confirmed, but I'm not sure about online.

[graceful cosmos]

how would we do local :P

[fierce acorn]

You play like a king

[ember flame]

splitscreen is coming in ea

which is local

[graceful cosmos]

hmmmm

i see

[ember flame]

if you want a taste you can downgrade the demo and get the splitscreen mod

[graceful cosmos]

maybe when i find someone :)

[shell bronze]

me when the c

[wind charm]

maybe not a king aha

[fierce acorn]

an emperor?

[fierce acorn]

rags to riches

[wind charm]

a gamer

[fierce acorn]

[graceful cosmos]

If MP online becomes a thing. yall better not hold back on me :)

[ember flame]

Honestly i would rather have a toggle for no auto parry then online mp. It baffles me how this has not been added yet and it makes me wonder if it ever will be.

[graceful cosmos]

theres an auto parry?

[shell bronze]

yes

it's like a 50/50 whether it murders you or somewhat works

turning auto parry off would be nice

[ember flame]

its been suggested so many times, i just wish i could turn it off

[shell burrow]

does the resolution slider not work for anyone else?

in the options?

[ember flame]

idk i haven't messed with it because i use default resolution

[graceful cosmos]

me have no aura :c

i just kill :3

but if i gotta rate my style it be 4/10

[shell bronze]

if enemy willie dies then it is effective

and therefore is valid

[graceful cosmos]

maybe

i might also be borrowing similar melee battles i did over at the other games like holdfast, chiv, mordhau.

[ember flame]

oh shit i just realized they fixed the bug where your bloody footprints where your feet even though you where wearing shoes

[graceful cosmos]

well either way. i got all this monie reserved for HS

[ember flame]

i may have went a little overkill i think i may have killed him

[graceful cosmos]

thas pretty over kill :3

[graceful cosmos]

i got a screenshot that might have a good chance becoming meme-worthy

well if i do it right. It might boost attraction? hopefully

[sleek gull]

w

[ember flame]

lending a hand

[umbral geyser]

imagine if they added eye gouging

[waxen lance]

Still Better with a sword then I am with a polearm.

[fierce acorn]

well

they have that already

its just really fucky and hardly ever does the thing

[umbral geyser]

like bare hands is what im talking

[fierce acorn]

oh

🤌 scoop it out

[waxen lance]

do you know how fucking hard it'd be to guide your hands to do that?

with this control scheme?

no way.

[shell bronze]

lowkey too much detail for the controls given

[fierce acorn]

my king spoke up, i agree

[shell bronze]

beating up t5 folks wit da full iron man suit

[waxen lance]

yes

I will fight t3

[waxen lance]

out of spite now

[tulip breach]

When is the actual game releasing?

[shell bronze]

t3 already super easy without any armor just give yourself a longsword and beat them up

[shell bronze]

early access q4 this year

[umbral geyser]

like what if u grab their head and just press a button to gouge

[waxen lance]

no

[tulip breach]

Any of you plays far cry 5 online?

[umbral geyser]

ig it would be too ez but it would be cool

[waxen lance]

That fucking execution though

[orchid spindle]

they need to make the stomping on the head part feel less like a skull and more like a melon

[waxen lance]

heads used to explode

[orchid spindle]

i miss it

i miss it so much

[orchid spindle]

i want to pop a english dipshits head like a grape

[umbral geyser]

haha

[waxen lance]

I like fighting commoners with full armor because I like being the dark souls boss

[umbral geyser]

dark souls if fuckn peak

[shell bronze]

just do brave stand

[waxen lance]

nu\

[orchid spindle]

we neeeed the wressleing deathroll reimplemented

[shell bronze]

[fierce acorn]

[waxen lance]

commoner willie vs polehammer

[orchid spindle]

deadspace 2 QTE

[waxen lance]

[waxen lance]

mods

enhancer

[shell bronze]

i love brave stands

[waxen lance]

also I'm the gold and black one, the full gold one is in the base game

[umbral geyser]

is it normal that my willie is purple?

[shell bronze]

he's fine

he just took a sip of the grimace shake

[near hamlet]

can anyone tell me how he is still alive

[deep citrus]

you o nly hit his brain

[near hamlet]

ok o

he has brain damage

he barely walks and isnt attacking me

[near hamlet]

so real

[acoustic dagger]

does anyone else miss the old physics?

the new ai feels so robotic but the older versions of the game are almost more alive it feels like

[acoustic dagger]

the tunnel effect, exhibit a:

phineas gage

[glass sand]

I resalt really wish the willies didn't turn to skeleton and disappear after I killed them

I loved taking my time dismembering them gradually... The disappearing of willies takes that way from me...😔

[warm void]

Ngl, I need a mod where I can skin Willie's body with a click of a button.

[grizzled wagon]

Yeaa but it was really resource heavy keeping them on the map.

When they introduced the disappearing the abyss got so much smoother

Also now we play a different game how much damage can I do before they disappear

[ember quartz]

I also love Brave Stand.

[uncut wagon]

Hello guys!

[fierce acorn]

damn halfsword is THAT realistic

[acoustic dagger]

[uneven trout]

any workarounds for the stupid crash that happens in the ultimate challenge

[sleek valve]

join the i hate game crashes cult and sacrifice all of your belongings /j for the mods out there btw turn down your graphics

[cosmic kelp]

Who doesnt love jump kicking?

[warm escarp]

damn, stabbed this guy through the eye

[hot sand]

They should make it so they have fears in their eyes

[spark yoke]

Grete champion axe guy can swallow a spicy salami

[twilit escarp]

arming sword is a fiesty little thing, do love it though

[spark yoke]

You call it the arming sword, despite the fact you use it to remove people's arms?

[twilit escarp]

if anything that would be the falchion's job

[spark yoke]

I'm gonna be honest I never use that whatsoever. I prefer two handing my sharp objects

[uneven trout]

will he ever calm down

he is just screaming cause his hand

BRO WHAT

he got some fucking dark force or shit

[hexed prairie]

if i die in ultimate challenge, do i restart back from beggar?

[twilit escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/lol-goonies-the-goonies-gif-17881913

the resemblence is uncanny

[twilit escarp]

no.

[hexed prairie]

nice

[fresh gyro]

@little verge In regards to the pricing of the game, have you guys thought of maybe initially releasing the early access with a discount? Doesn't have to be a big one, a 10-20% would work too.

[vale knoll]

will we ever get bone physics

for example my sword dont go straight thru a guys head just cuts the skin then he gives up thats how it would be in medieval times

[lost rover]

i’m pretty sure swords do behave like that

[worn agate]

what r the controls

like what does z do

[lime perch]

yoo

[worn agate]

what does z do

[shell bronze]

we stand in agreement

[keen dock]

toggles auto-locking

[worn agate]

how do i know if its on or off

[keen dock]

whether your character automatically turns to face the enemy

it's on by default

[worn agate]

ohh alr ty

[limpid linden]

thats a good thing ig

[limpid linden]

how you fight someone with full armor?

[wheat olive]

how do i mod the demo i forgot

[languid gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/true-true-true-i-agree-agreement-agreed-gif-23733447

i can use gifs now

[high summit]

yall how can i restart gauntlet mode

[languid gazelle]

die

and die in the abyss

also i just split open a willie's head with a kick

he started bleeding out of his head and died

[crimson sable]

LADS HEAR ME OUT

could be cool in the abyss mode have a 0.01% of probabilities what spawn as enemy a skeleton

Yk a easter egg

[languid gazelle]

and the skeleton would be diguised as one of those bone piles

so you get spooked

[crimson sable]

like could be a cool easter egg

[languid gazelle]

fr

[vale knoll]

no they do not just go through bone

[analog zenith]

so they shatter the more you hit them??

or knock their skull off

[crimson sable]

Na just a skeleton with the normal skills of a willie

[gray hound]

hi guys i had the game downloaded then my pc shit the bed and had the playtest, how do i get it back now that i have my pc fixed?? since theres only the demo. Thank you!

[analog zenith]

you can only play demo @gray hound

[thick gazelle]

This game is great ❤️‍🔥🔥💯 I have alot of fun with it 🤣👍🏽

Will be one of the few games I will actually buy I guess. I hope there will be mod support, and even if it will be bugged, an MP mode or mod right at release.

[soft kelp]

lore accurate ovrdth

[uneven trout]

ovrdth? wasn't using that

[pastel sedge]

what should I do if I choose a level of violence, but the game doesn't respond? and I can't play anymore

[soft kelp]

commoner boss is based off a youtuber called heart over death

also known as ovrdth

Very good at half sword

[uneven trout]

oh thats cool to know

[wild pecan]

the great foe for beggar is so fucking annoying dude

i clipped him fucking touching me slightly with the corner of his axe and there went my torso

on top of that i cant do shit because the ax is fucking horrible to fight against for obvious reasons

[soft kelp]

Skill issue

Just dodge he recovers slow as fuck

Use the big knife that always spawns in the middle if theres no long candle stick

Its better than u think

Mainly better for stabbing but its big enough for dismembering too

[wild pecan]

this is literally what gets me killed

i run to it

boom i get cut in half

the game is just fucking buggy

ive seen it with the other blades

[soft kelp]

Bro r u running to it at the very start of the round

[wild pecan]

no

[soft kelp]

Wait are you getting cut in half by the knife??

[wild pecan]

im dodging and once i get to it

YES

[soft kelp]

what the fuck

that has never happened to me once

[iron hazel]

wsp peeps

[shell bronze]

[wooden socket]

[naive holly]

Zombwillie

[shell bronze]

did you beat him yet

i can show you how to

[wild pecan]

yeah

im militiaman rn

[shell bronze]

if you're struggling that thing will take you above and beyond

[solemn orbit]

yo

are there any gun mods

[iron hazel]

Nah I really got a question, is everyone who we play against a bot or an actual player?

[shell bronze]

[shell bronze]

[shell bronze]

3 lacerations on the head (one gash below the eye going all the way to the lip, a stab wound in front of the ear and a gash around the jaw, deep enough to reveal the bone)
severed hand, severed leg
~15 lacerations to the torso
3 lacerations on the arms
1 laceration on remaining leg

enemy injuries
severed leg
head split in half
numerous lacerations on the torso and arms

head split in half VERTICALLY btw

[remote oxide]

Thanks now I know what it looks like to have a better pc

[sweet imp]

A vid is sending for like an hour

Ima kms

Ngl bones are non existant

In the game

Like how is my leg cut off by a falchion by it just barely touching me

Or getting cut in half from a knife

[solemn orbit]

yo my trainer mod

keeps crashing the game

what am i supposed to do

[sweet imp]

Idk touch your willie till it just doesnt crash it

[little verge]

This the plan!

[wild pecan]

bro u think it was multiplayer 😭😭

[iron hazel]

not like all but dang 😭

should add a multiplayer in the future yk 😭

[solemn holly]

#faq

[iron hazel]

Appreciate it!

[soft osprey]

You can only see it at level 3 in the server

does getting to level three hide those annoying photo mode only notifications in #photography📷 ?

[summer brook]

no

[shell bronze]

my fighting style feels so much more correct with a katana it's not even funny

this is what happens when you do kenjutsu and kendo instead of hema guys do not be like me

[summer brook]

which katana mod is that one

[shell bronze]

the vicious weapon pack 2 one

i love kesagiri

[last harbor]

some physics bug broke my leg in abyss....

so annoying

[fierce acorn]

My god that's beautiful

My discord plahyed it in slowmotion too so i could see better 😭

[latent moon]

'tis but a scratch ahh willie

[shell bronze]

katana vs longsword

[summer brook]

this metal rod is so heavy

[shell bronze]

that metal stick is genuinely hilarious

it's great at beating knights up

[summer brook]

i think its still faster to just run at him

cause sometimes the kicks move you forward

[fallow stone]

what mod does this come from?

[summer brook]

vicious weapons pack 2

[trim salmon]

is release still 2025??

[fallow stone]

thanks

[naive holly]

Actually insane the difference bruh you can see it

[shell bronze]

dude it looks so much more proper

[shell bronze]

now i want an odachi

If only Half Sword also had kinetic transference in its physics simulation

Thinner blades like that would wobble noticeably

[vestal vault]

are there ever coming new updates. or is the project dead?

[shell bronze]

all updates to the demo are done

full priority has been shifted to early access in q4 this year

[vestal vault]

[lost rover]

the post about “the skinless one” has killed me

[shell bronze]

thanks voulge user for helping out

[wind charm]

I aint never seen a willie kill himself like that before

[crystal sandal]

i have a question

why does my character just let go when i try to grab a enemy willie

[shell bronze]

player willie sucks at grabbing

[crystal sandal]

like i tried to grab a willies arm to beat him with my fists but the player just let go of the arm and got stabbed to death by a spear

[runic niche]

ur grip normally breaks when ur stunned / hit

[crystal sandal]

i didnt get hit or anything my willie just let go of the arm

[runic niche]

no like

did u get hit like 10 seconds before

or was ur screen like red

like hurt

[crystal sandal]

even when the enemy willie was on the ground and when i tried to grab his leg then it let go of it

[crystal sandal]

no i didnt get hurt the character just let go of the willies arm or leg

[runic niche]

weird

[crystal sandal]

it has happened to me multiple times

[shell bronze]

happens to me all the time

it's why i don't grapple

[fierce acorn]

yeah same

[shell bronze]

honestly it gets extremely annoying when all these guys want to is half sword for no reason

can't do anything but just kill them or wait for them to switch back to standard grip for a good fight

[crystal sandal]

i remember when i got brutally rapped to death in halfsword

i think i got a clip of it

[wind charm]

like i tried to escape but he didnt let go and stabbed me

[runic niche]

yeah that happens!

[crystal sandal]

is it ok if my clip has the medal watermark

You can grab somewhat easier by extending your hand towards it but yes it needs to be more reliable

[twin raptor]

oh that works thanks

[runic niche]

OHHH

I FOUND IT

TY

[crystal sandal]

anyone know why i cant send videos or photos here?

[shell bronze]

you need to level up in the server

[wind charm]

yes I may have won already, but his head was intact.

[sweet imp]

Typa balancing we had before the balancing update

[bright relic]

how do abyss actually work?

[crystal sandal]

how do you do this stuff

[wind charm]

its grabbing willie by the legs and lifting him up while trying not to fall, like grinding on tony hawk pro skater

[crystal sandal]

i tried to do the same thing but willie stabbed me in the neck with his knife

[wind charm]

notice how i only did it when i have damaged him enough AND against a blunt weapon?

one handed maces cant do much when I'm hugging his leg

[shell bronze]

blunt weapons make it easy to test out funny tech

[crystal sandal]

i mean like how are you so good at the game

im really bad

like when i try to do cool stuff i just end up getting stabbed to death

[serene tulip]

Well, that may be one of the most fascinating ways I've swung my sword and dispatched someone

[deep citrus]

caught his pit perfectly

[wooden socket]

moment of impact

i also got hit pretty badly from that too

[serene tulip]

Avoiding full swings really opens up a whole new way of fighting. It's taken quite a bit of practicing for me

[wooden socket]

my new favorite thing in half sword is to fight with weapons while fully unarmored, makes for more interesting combat ngl

[shell bronze]

been doing that for a hot minute

it's a lot of fun and challenge

[crude path]

what the heck happened to the game

literally about 30% of my hits instantly crash the game

if they're hard enough to be lethal

and the final challenge is impossible

[shell bronze]

blood

[crude path]

even with damage to npc maxed and damage to player min, i'm hitting with the impact force of a wet napkin thrown by an anemic toddler

[crude path]

and one single piece of contact with a weapon instantly rips off all my limbs

with no chance of survival

ts is evil half sword 😭

[wooden socket]

the games been running fine for me

[crude path]

LIKE FFS

[wooden socket]

might be some bug on your end

[serene tulip]

Perfect.

[crude path]

i can't even finish a single round

without a fatal error on any lethal hit

single combat i have a chance but each kill has a 1/4 chance to crash the game

[shell bronze]

ghost of tsushima mode

the katana unironically is a mid weapon both irl and in this game but it just looks so right with the kind of fighting i do

[wooden socket]

got a nice hit with the back of the axe

[wooden socket]

is that like the best weapon pack? i might be blind but im not seeing it on nexus

[shell bronze]

@wooden socket

ok that's enough katana back to the basics

using a one edged primarily slashing weapon only does me so much favors

[wooden socket]

alr

[boreal path]

kesagiri? kendo or something ?

[shell bronze]

yah

i do kendo & kenjutsu irl

[night lintel]

just accidentally snapped a guys neck with the handle of my axe

[boreal path]

[shell bronze]

yeah it's a lot of fun

parry practice fail 2

[native elm]

anyone else having this issue? it seems like the demo has a MAJOR memory leak issue, because the game's framerate seems to DRASTICALLY decrease over time, regardless of how many entities do or do not exist.

especially over the course of an hour or two

[wild pecan]

oh yeah ive noticed the game does lag after a while playing

[shell bronze]

it also causes a ground collision issue that makes walking harder over time

[wild pecan]

off topic but fp mode is actually not that bad as i thought it would be

[shell bronze]

finally no damage for more than 30 seconds of actively practicing

[wild pecan]

i wish i could be as no life as this no offense

[shell bronze]

this game and helldivers is all i play these days

outside of my 50+ hour blue collar work week

[wild pecan]

The grind is worth it to feed the gaming and cart addiction

[shell bronze]

yeah it's why i wouldn't mind paying 70 bucks for this game

that's like one hour of OT

[wild pecan]

i have no job lmao

max i pay for games is 50

[shell bronze]

i haven't paid full price for a game since gran turismo 7 i won't lie

[wild pecan]

last full price type game i paid for was like postal 4

which isnt even that expensive its 40 dollars

[shell bronze]

postal is real though

sometimes willie doesn't play nice and kicks

[next egret]

Does anyone have any tips for gauging punching distance in unarmed combat? Hand to hand is my favorite combat in the game but I'm having a hard time not devolving into swinging into the air when a guy approaches

[fierce acorn]

every time i read gauging in my mind i pronounce it gogging

[graceful cosmos]

oo a tug of war :)

[cerulean cloud]

fun fact: you can use shaders for any other game that is in dx11/dx12 with reshade

[mint wadi]

My right ear enjoyed this

[cerulean cloud]

the left eat doesnt work for some reason and im too lazy to fix it

[cerulean cloud]

i have fixed this so if i ever upload a video everyones left and right eats can enjoy it

[mint wadi]

Nice!

[graceful cosmos]

I solidified my fighting way in this game, i call it.... Pain is an Old Fren

[mint wadi]

lmao brother still got up despite me waiting for him.

[neat crow]

My left and right eats are excited

[mint wadi]

had to lock in cause shit just wasn't working beforehand.

[fierce acorn]

yay yay yay my question is answered thank you

[shell bronze]

idk how you guys do all of that polearm flourish i just have 2 modes i default to with one

this

and this

[fierce acorn]

hello king

[wind charm]

While they flourished, I made these specialised movements to be used as both offence and defence in different context.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1263255402729181184/1394127997182804019/135.mp4?ex=6875ae60&is=68745ce0&hm=5494e0d20ed07270b6cbae27374b61f87b61485c1d78c772f5a56bc6722e76a8&

It takes just as much timing, ranging and instinct to defend yourself with a Poleaxe as it does a sword

[shell bronze]

me when i dont know how to polearm

dude it's impossible to beat the pragmatic instinct to just go for a swipe to the head something is wrong with me @wind charm

help me polearm god

[wind charm]

Because if you only have offence, eventually you will need to defend yourself and you will die helpless.

I suppose you'll just have to die a few times to understand the importance of defence

[shell bronze]

i have healthy legs and a survival instinct so it's a bit hard to make myself learn defense when evasion is the best defense of all

[wind charm]

I give up on you

Sorry gang, you just don't understand

[shell bronze]

i suppose remaining pragmatic with the polearms is how i'll keep using them

[mint wadi]

I only do it cause it looks cool.

[shell bronze]

literally me with 99% of my longsword clips

[wind charm]

If we fought, I'd corner you and kill you.

[shell bronze]

that's fine by me

polearms are historically proven to be the most advantaged weapon for a reason

[wind charm]

Unless we're playing duos

[mint wadi]

I don't really care that there's technically a tactical advantage to the flourishes in specific, and there are. They are great for offensive defensive maneuvers. I often times hit the enemy on back swings and lodge my weapon into them, killing them.

I don't post those though

Cause they don't look as cool.

[shell bronze]

i use swords for the style points and the iconic/ceremonial significance

[wind charm]

"it's gotta be fun to play, but it's also gotta be fun to watch"

[shell bronze]

(i don't own a polearm irl and have been practicing swordplay for years)

[mint wadi]

And you carry momentum with them for parrying

Or as I like to say

Bashing the enemy weapons aside.

Cause it will literally just say fuck you to a sword

Or you hook their sword with the polearm and disarm them.

The amount of energy you can pull off by exchanging hands correctly with a polearm outclasses every other weapon in the game.

[shell bronze]

like i tell my kendo group usually
if you give me a naginata/yari and put me in front of an A-grade swordsman i'm beating his ass 9/10 times

polearms have reach and reach is king

not to mention leverage

[wind charm]

Holy cow! Imagine if instead of wasting Stam, you could parry with all those benefits?

Oh shit my chicken tenders are done

[mint wadi]

Just starting Dungeon Crawler Carl on Audible.

I don't like audiobooks but I got told this is better on audio form.

I've already read the first 5 books.

I already hate the audiobook. It's not even the fault of the reader.

He sounds like Joe from Family Guy.

It sounds like one of my favorite books is being read by Joe Swanson.

I can't take it.

[shell bronze]

the joys of max gore

[wind charm]

One feint and you're a dead

[mint wadi]

You mean.....one bonk to the head.

One bonk with so much force that it just bats the sword aside

[shell bronze]

i usually anticipate feints well enough to at least stop them from cutting me in half

happens very often in those multi hit combos with more than one wind-up

[wind charm]

Yes but you're also a dead man.

[shell bronze]

easiest feint is that fuckass overhead/sideswipe feint into a stab

[wind charm]

I cannot stress this enough. If you fight like you know all possibilities, then you will die.

And my friend, you fight exactly like that.

[mint wadi]

I mean it's not that serious

I thought you two were just messing with each other.

[shell bronze]

expect the unexpected

yada yada

[mint wadi]

Anyways you made me decide to try the poleaxe on low difficulty lol

[shell bronze]

me too but i guess not

[mint wadi]

Also sorry you're just going to have to deal with dungeon crawler carl in the background

katana vs longsword

bro using random weapon choices in militia/commoner is actually stupid fun

[mint wadi]

Jesus christ.

[shell bronze]

it's not even funny how much simple joy you can have in butchering people

[wind charm]

Holy fuck. I'm a sweat lord.

I'm actually realising it

I'm sorry

[mint wadi]

You're were kinda sounding like a self righteous asshole, but it's okay, we all have those moments. It's just a game.

[shell bronze]

katana vs longsword

[mint wadi]

Both of you have your own playstyle that works with the ai ingame.

Until/If we get multiplayer, it doesn't really matter which one would win 1 on 1

[shell bronze]

and even then multiplayer would see a massive shift in playstyles

[wind charm]

Would you believe me if I told you I have alternative versions of tech to be a feint, just in case

FUCK.

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-confused-gif-15712129875520007531

[shell bronze]

the fast-twitch movements that only players can do rn would end up into the game and the gameplay would look pretty wild

[mint wadi]

I mean, yeah, feints work on the ai too to some level

[shell bronze]

lowkey flailing might be the meta in lower tiers

then it's just polearm sweep at/past veteran

[mint wadi]

holy fucking shit the poleaxe just MELTS with high gore

[shell bronze]

that thing is a dopamine generator

[wind charm]

[mint wadi]

That first miss on the downward swing to the head annoys the hell out of me ingame.

Just give me auto-aim.

I don't care it's cheating.

I can obviously hit his head.

[wind charm]

I've noticed the same thing, it's like the Poleaxe gets stuck on your hip

HalfSword spelt backwards is ragebait

Katna looks awesome

It spun so fast when I threw trying to spin it that it hit my neck and instakilled me.

This is the one time where I've managed to catch it, cos it usually disconnects my head

Well you must have replied to the wrong thing

[atomic loom]

nope

Nah man don't have a crash out like this. You're just fine. Had a bad moment. Your playstyle is yours. If you want to play differently, then just try it out. You don't have to play the way you do if you don't like it, but don't feel bad about it if you enjoy it.

[atomic loom]

post i want to see that

[mint wadi]

It's a singleplayer game.

[fierce acorn]

Ok i see nothing like what he said this guy must be schizophrenic
