fallow monolith
#

people with over 100 hrs in the demo should get a discount on release fr

austere trellis
#

are u creator of this game or what?

harsh imp
#

i guarantee you 460 of those 494 hours have been spent grappling and wrestling

fallow monolith
harsh imp
austere trellis
#

can we ask devs how many hours do they have?

drowsy flint
#

plus more in the playtest

harsh imp
#

it would most likely be very hard to get ahold of one of them

austere trellis
#

wait

drowsy flint
#

is actually possible to parry with the parrying dagger?

#

seems to just blow right through most of the time

austere trellis
#

dont think so

Oh shit gamescom starts in 12 minutes, does halfsword have a booth?

leaden spindle
#

halberd is so goated🙏

harsh imp
#

or can it be accessed digitally too

raven talon
#

no idea I have shooters in every city tho

#

but it's at least irl, in germany

soft osprey
#

Early access releases in Q4 and will have split screen though

harsh imp
#

i hope someone tries to wrestle their opponent 🙏

humble bloom
#

praying that the booth is livestreamed so we can see how people play

harsh imp
#

i hope its streamed to THIS discord

#

like make an event stage and stream it

clever yew
#

is it normal that when i try to ready my guard up willie just gets ready to slash?

#

instead of being in a block stance?

#

is my sensitivity too high?

native python

YO

#

i finally killed the gold boss @coral reef

coral reef
coral reef

Well you get to play as him atleast

native python

i used the long hammer struck him first time he dropped his weapon pulled his sword and slashed me a couple times but i managed to stab him in the armpit

raven talon
native python
clever yew
#

the bot just feinted a slash into a stab that was really impressive

coral reef
clever yew
#

are they gonna increase the intensity of stabs btw?

#

your character just kinda,points the weapon

#

instead of thrustin

coral reef
restive garnet
clever yew
#

currently stabs are just

#

not worth it

#

and spears kinda suck because of that

raven talon
coral reef
clever yew
#

also they should give a durability to shields because its kinda stupid

raven talon
#

I'll have to find someone reviewing the half sword booth, I can't take a trip to germany on such short notice

Gta 6!!

coral reef
#

This was a year of indie games and double A games

humble bloom
#

we got bubsy 3d announcement before half sword.
its so over

coral reef
#

Though a few triple a titles have been good

clever yew
#

thats just indie innit?

raven talon
#

I don't even buy AAA games, indies are where it's at

restive garnet

That’s my favorite snack!

AA is premium indie

clever yew

10 to 50 mil budget

halfsword is SSS 😎

native python

It’s an inbetween

would dying light be a AA game

who do you guys have manning the gamescom booth?

tall dagger
clever yew
#

also there is this funny glitch where you can spawn in naked

#

and willie has no willie

#

:(

coral reef
#

That’s a feature

raven talon
#

I swear to god if it's not Ivan wearing a willie mask I'll riot

clever yew
#

would be funny if willie had a fully modeled willie and it was a weak spot

restive garnet
restive garnet
#

Yess

clever yew
#

also are kicks going to be upgraded?

coral reef
#

Atleast Ivan’s there

clever yew
#

seems kinda weak to me unless you are doing like

#

a roundhouse kick

coral reef
#

The far right one

#

It makes them faster

clever yew
#

factions are a thing in the game right now?

restive garnet
#

I haven't had fish sticks for 15 years now

coral reef
#

Also if you wear steel boots you can break legs

coral reef
tall dagger

also the ability to jump would be cool

restive garnet

doing jump kicks and such

humble bloom
#

frank knows how everything works so I'd expect him to be good.

clever yew
#

is frank the owner?

restive garnet
#

Yeah

clever yew
#

i see

raven talon
#

Ivan and Frank both started it right?

restive garnet
#

Yea

clever yew
#

also like how will the physics based combat work with online ping delay

#

since pvp is planned as far as i know

restive garnet
coral reef
clever yew
raven talon
#

It might not work, at least well. This is their first title and online play is hella ambitious

restive garnet
raven talon
#

one thing devs have to learn the hard way is if you don't start from the outset with these things in mind, you'll have too much technical debt later on to integrate it cleanly

clever yew
#

we tried once and the dude got access to my computer

#

😭

restive garnet
#

Google

coral reef
#

I am a pc user but I wonder if it will be possible for a long time in the future for the game to have a ps5 or console port

#

Not exactly my fight though

clever yew
#

instead of joining me he became ME in game

#

he was controlling MY character

clever yew
#

would be pain

#

and misery

restive garnet
coral reef
raven talon
#

I actually think a joystick would make control a lot more clean

restive garnet
#

We have partial controller support in the demo

clever yew
#

maybe its because i started using a controller only a year ago

#

i was always a keyboard and mouse guy

coral reef
#

I’ve been very in between with both controllers and keyboard and mouse

#

I prefer keyboard and mouse though for most games

#

Except dark souls and any souls born game

raven talon
clever yew
#

was miserable

sonic forge
#

commoner boss is so bs, he's too strong

clever yew
#

couldnt aim at all

clever yew
clever yew
#

yeah kinda is

coral reef
#

Once your used to keyboard and mouse it’s hard to use a controller

clever yew
#

he has the armor of the upper class

#

instead of commoner armor

#

padded clothing and stuff

sonic forge
#

and the strength too, can't block him

coral reef
sonic forge
#

just pushes my sword or buckler away

clever yew
#

the one above it

#

thats what i meant

raven talon
#

it's a rather fancy looking gambeson, he would be gentry for sure

coral reef
clever yew
#

why are the bosses even so tall

#

what are they feeding these guys

coral reef
clever yew
#

they are like 7 feet tall back in like what? the 1400s?

coral reef
#

And I assume they’re all baron lineage

#

7ft tall then is like 13 ft tall today

sonic forge
#

i once slashed across his face and he proceeded to fall down, stand up and beat me to death with the buckler

restive garnet
clever yew
#

also its funny to beat up people with your shield rather than use your weapon

coral reef
#

If used properly

clever yew
coral reef
#

But yes

clever yew
#

its like a

#

one of those

raven talon
clever yew
#

things

#

that go over your fingers

#

that you use to punch people

sonic forge
#

i like the forearm shields, whatever they're called

sonic forge
#

it's super good as a weapon

clever yew
#

whats that thing where its like 4 rings that you punch people with

#

a knuckle duster

#

thats the name

humble bloom
#

do we know when we should expect to see half sword during the gamescom livestream

coral reef
#

I wish we had the option to use a shield and dagger at the same time

sonic forge
clever yew
#

a knuckle duster would be a cool weapon for like the lower classes

coral reef
#

It’s not unheard of to have a shield attached to your arm

#

But yeah same hand

wheat leaf
#

Yeah buckler and icepick dagger would be neat

clever yew
#

also is the small knife a prison shank or something?

coral reef
#

Definitely a nice combo to go hand and hand with a spear or sword

clever yew
#

the very small one

coral reef
raven talon
coral reef
#

If you could afford butter

clever yew
wheat leaf
#

I’d like to one day see like something like a Katar or push dagger maybe

coral reef
clever yew
#

thats a prison shank

coral reef
#

Plus knives looked very different from today

clever yew
#

a very modern one

coral reef
#

I should’ve specified daggers

sonic forge
#

At this point im better at beating baron than the sword boss

clever yew
raven talon

i used to die more at scythe boss somehow

coral reef
#

Not some random peasant

clever yew
#

were there very old gunss back in the 15th century

#

a flintlock or something

coral reef

Exactly

sonic forge
#

You can tell that he is european because of the equipment

coral reef
#

Gunpowder and guns have been around since the 13th century

clever yew

imagine you are trying to stab a guy and he blows up your whole chest

You can tell it’s European, because of the way that it is.

aginst people with blunt weapons works best

coral reef

‘Ha this dicks gun is useless at close range’ then he whips this thing out

nobody said the middle ages weren't brutal

Pointy ass stick with more spikes on it

i love the crunch of my fist hitting the guys skull

i like 1 hitting people

Problem is killing the dude with it!

FINALLY BEAT SWORD BOSS

#

AFTER 4 ABYSS RUNS

clever yew
#

geniuenly what do you do aagaints the pointy stick

#

you can parry it or anything

coral reef
clever yew
#

you just get stabbed by like 10 nails

coral reef
#

Who is like 8 ft tall and carries that axe like a short sword

#

He’s the knight boss though so don’t worry

sonic forge
#

brother i already have beaten the baron

coral reef
clever yew
#

what do you even do in max armor

#

like there are no weak points

sonic forge
#

pummel

clever yew
#

you just keep hitting each other until one faints

coral reef
clever yew
#

i dont think thats how real life knights fought

#

😭

coral reef
#

That’s almost exactly how they fought

fallow monolith
#

i love when you wanna swing and willie moves towards you, so you just slap him harmlessly with your wrist

clever yew
coral reef
sonic forge
clever yew
#

and you hug his neck

coral reef
#

Plus try finding a weak point with a wide ass sword

#

You need something to easily slip through a gap

sonic forge
#

I hate when grab because then noone hit others willie

fallow monolith
clever yew
#

how do you even halfsword

#

wouldnt you cut your hand

#

its a sword

coral reef
#

With proper grip it’s safe to do

#

And would you rather get a cut over losing your head

sonic forge
coral reef
#

Also pretty much any glove

fallow monolith
coral reef
#

Beat me to it

clever yew
coral reef
clever yew
#

beats dying to the plague

coral reef

Atleast the black plague was over

#

Mostly

#

And atleast arsenic and asbestos wasn’t in your walls

#

Waiting to kill you

clever yew
#

i wish magic was real

#

it would be so cool

sonic forge
#

black plague is still around, i keep it in a jar

I’d argue that the 17th century and 18th century were the worst and best

clever yew

also like,would a real human be able to swing a sword that fast?

coral reef
clever yew
#

twice in a row?

clever yew
#

or like 10 times in a row

sonic forge
#

yes

coral reef
#

100 percent yes

#

Swords were like 1 pound

#

Some not even that

clever yew
#

i highly doubt that

coral reef
#

Look it up

#

I dare you

#

Look it up

clever yew
#

greatswords were like 10 pounds were they not?

sonic forge
coral reef
fallow monolith
#

swords were extremely light compared to other arms at the time

clever yew
#

Greatswords typically weigh between 5 to 8 pounds

coral reef
#

Mostly 8 lbs

fallow monolith
#

even a flamberge, claymore, or langschwert

raven talon
#

Poleaxes were the real heavy weapons, and you can't swing those in-game more than a few times without getting exhausted

coral reef
#

Yeah, what use is a massive sword if you can only swing it once

#

Then some peasant with an axe chops your balls off and feeds it to their kids

clever yew
fallow monolith
clever yew
#

can somebody fact check me on that

coral reef
#

Royal balls good sir

#

Like cereal it’s a complete part of your breakfast

sonic forge

#

thats probably a luxury dinner for peasants

#

their normal dinner is like,cow shit or sum

coral reef
#

Bread without the wheat

clever yew
#

yeast

coral reef

“Tonight we yeast”

sonic forge

also a pickaxe would be a cool weapon for peasants

#

somthin like that i dunno

fallow monolith
#

eating balls is all they do

coral reef
#

Some don’t have the decency to cook them properly

i know the game is set in mediaval times but like,a gun sword would be really cool

sonic forge
coral reef
fallow monolith

They would need to chop balls off of bulls probably

coral reef

and the dude just

#

explodes

fallow monolith
coral reef
clever yew
#

i didnt finish thegame

#

probably why

coral reef
#

Reloading in the middle of a fight and someone’s gonna serve your balls for dinner

clever yew
#

its still a sword

humble bloom
coral reef
fallow monolith
#

to be "reliable" it needed to be a "modern" gun. try swinging a gunpowder gun sword thingy. powder going everywhere, pulling the trigger and blowing the handle (and your balls) apart

clever yew
coral reef
#

Like the escort

clever yew
#

also like,if you have your sword on the guys neck

sonic forge
#

The russian soliders have a very unreliable knife that the use, a knife with a 9mm round that fires out backwards and is easy to accidentally press when stabbing someone

clever yew
#

you cant push it into the guys neck

fallow monolith
clever yew
#

thats sad

fallow monolith
#

you need that stabbing motion

clever yew
#

so sad

sonic forge
coral reef
#

I mean Tbf if I have the sword on the back of someone’s neck and I’m just sliding it along, surely their skin will break eventually

humble bloom
#

you can get him in the neck but thats a smaller gap that is difficult to accurately get into with the controls.
I tend to only do it by complete luck.
and its definitely never pretty for a clip

sonic forge
#

I know that aint possible but what if

coral reef
fallow monolith
#

also no slow cuts. you need to really swing. id love to do some counter, only to slowly cut the willie by the neck with a shortsword

coral reef
#

Half swording someone’s neck must’ve been a real awkward experience

fallow monolith
coral reef
#

Sitting there sawing their neck as you stare at eachother for like 2 minutes

I half sword, get the sword behind their neck, and just shinmy it until it cuts, bonus points if the helmet pops off

i had a willie fake a slash into a stab and he killed me in 5 seconds because of that

I cut into the armpit actually

It’s still shiny too so that’s his first fight in it

clever yew

willie's aim is actually crazy,

short pagoda

#

what was that thing

#

to remove my progreess data

coral reef
#

Armor like that costed as much as a modern car

clever yew
#

also why does my character sometimes never stop screaming when their arm gets chopped off?

#

like dawg just lock in already

fallow monolith
#

shield willies are annoying to fight. everytime you swing they get too close, and then you always hit his side with your wrist and not your weapon, or your own sword gets stuck behind your own shield

clever yew
#

sometimes it takes 2 seconds sometimes it takes forever for your character to stop panicking

short pagoda
#

how to delete my progress data..

coral reef

It’s the equivalent of buying a Porsche, wrecking it day one, then Your insurance bails on you

and your brain

brr brr patapim

how is that allowed

so many balls

humble bloom
# coral reef It’s still shiny too so that’s his first fight in it

ehhh if you aren't fighting back to back fights in one day, your armor is gonna be shiny.
at least for the start of a duel.

people took care of it unless they couldn't for whatever reason.
there's probably imperfections and visible dents somewhere on the armor, just not big enough to see with my shitty res and bitrate.

You still spent all that time putting it on and praying just to get armpit slashed

Also not to mention that armor was probably inherited

keep beating up your willie

also is the languages in the game real?

to the side

coral reef
humble bloom
# coral reef Also not to mention that armor was probably inherited

unlikely since he's a knight.
he'd be able to afford it.

armor has to be your size, whether its custom fit or mass produced stuff.

and armor changed often enough that a generation of armor older is outdated and out of style.
you wouldn't wear it, at least I dont think so.

coral reef
#

Pretty much calling someone poor

fallow monolith
#

raggamuffin is not very "intelligible" to me

soft osprey
raven talon
#

nah listen to old english it's straight up alien sounding

#

halfsword taking place ~1470 means it's late middle english/pre early modern english

fallow monolith
#

i listened to it

coral reef
# humble bloom unlikely since he's a knight. he'd be able to afford it. armor has to be your...

Look at it this way, most armor was inherited from a line of knights, even if you could afford it, it was likely considered honorable to at the very least display or wear your parent or relatives armor after their passing, whether it be ceremonial or just to honor a death, if you couldn’t afford to buy more armor, you’d likely have it refitted to be able to fit you more, if it wasn’t outdated as in two centuries old, then you would probably wear it if it wasn’t outdated and atleast made 20 years ago you’d shine it and fit it to your body and wear it that way.

cobalt folio
#

i have a question. im fairly new to the game and got 60 hours in so far

coral reef
#

Though I haven’t met a medieval relative yet so I don’t know what their mind set was

sonic forge
#

The spear is so bad, and tge reason is because the enemy willie doesn't care about weight

coral reef
#

So take what I just said with a grain of salt

humble bloom
#

the spear can be used as a traditional polearm and slash or bash things.
that makes it good enough for me.

sonic forge
coral reef
#

The high tier spear also has the two tiny cross guard on the ends which makes it good to bash heads in

#

Atleast in my experience

raven talon
#

it's basically impossible to understand without training

fallow monolith
#

some alien language

#

i cant recognize any words whatsoever

cobalt folio
#

a little off topic but ive managed to get through the gauntlet to the last mode but i cant seem to finish the ultimate challenge. how do you do it?

raven talon
#

yeah the european languages pre 13th century are totally unrecognizable

coral reef
#

Or can you just not get past the waves of enemies

fallow monolith
humble bloom
clever yew
#

there is a glitch that lets you fight the lowest class with any class of your choice

#

and i dont know how but i keep doing it

#

on accident

cobalt folio
# coral reef Is it crashing?

sometimes. the loading of the armor will sometimes crash the game. but i cannot seem to get past the first wave of 3 enemies. let alone most of the time get past the first 3 enemies

#

what wep is the best to beat the commoner boss
ive died abt 5 times in a row now

fallow monolith
#

commoner boss harder than knight boss fr

#

commoner just blasts through your parry/block bc of his swing power/weapon weight/leverage

rustic spindle
fallow monolith
#

also 1 taps you mostly

rustic spindle
#

bc i picked a bad militia imo

fallow monolith
#

play with pitchfork farmer until militia

#

then choose a spear/hook spear

rustic spindle
fallow monolith
#

yes you can

#

i did today

#

also on my last 2 times when i finished gauntlet mode

rustic spindle
fallow monolith
#

you do not have to pick the commoner class

rustic spindle
fallow monolith
#

you can just continue with farmer

shell bronze
#

yeah you can keep peasant

fallow monolith
#

if you finish a higher rank with lower class, you also get bonus points

#

and move up faster

raven talon
#

bro I had to help somebody this morning who didn't realize you had to pick the next rank he was taking on the commoner boss AS A BEGGAR

shell bronze
#

it makes life easy when people do that and move on so i don't have to illustrate and explain how to beat commoner boss with an actual commoner

fallow monolith
shell bronze
shell bronze
#

most efficient way to kill him is purely footwork and timing

fallow monolith
shell bronze
#

after a while you can murk him with a knife

fallow monolith
rustic spindle
raven talon
shell bronze
#

the pitchfork equalizes that reach disadvantage that newer players can't work around yet

fallow monolith
shell bronze
#

but once you get how half sword (in its current form) works it's light work

shell bronze
#

i find ways to toy with him

fallow monolith
#

that overhead parry never works for me, only when i swing my weapon up and clash it with his

shell bronze
fallow monolith
#

not like a static block

shell bronze
#

vaccination

clever yew
#

how do you even avoid spears when willie has perfect aim

fallow monolith
#

willie will just raise it above his head like hes gonna split his watermelon head. it doesnt stay sideways like yours

shell bronze
#

i have at least 200 clips of me directly countering spears this way and it always works

clever yew
shell bronze
#

oh that one is a pita

fallow monolith
shell bronze
#

you have to time your parrying with a 2h sword or use a shield

#

another polearm is ideal though

#

after a bit you'll start playing around with them

somber pelican
#

how do u reset progress?

shell bronze
shell bronze
shell bronze
#

pay attention to how your overhead stance pivots around a lot more when the enemy has a high guard or is swinging from one

fallow monolith
#

passive parry is sassy sometimes. everything needs to be perfect in order to work lmfaooo

shell bronze
#

it's not too bad

#

you find ways to work with and/or around it

#

and after a bit you can do pretty much whatever you want to the AI willie if you execute everything proper

#

as illustrated by this 50 second clip of me just straight playing around for no reason

fallow monolith
#

i swear i wouldve gotten hit atleast 5 times, even if i imitated your movements lmao

shell bronze
#

translates well into armored combat as well

fallow monolith
#

atleast a hit on the hand, or a graze hit

shell bronze
#

but in armored combat you need to be more careful because they grab you and half sword and bumrush

rotund yoke
#

how to get half sword playtest bro??

fallow monolith
#

oh my god

shell bronze
fallow monolith
#

just type half sword in steam

rotund yoke
clever yew
#

100% gore 0% blood is really funny

#

you see the cuts but not the blood

shell bronze
clever yew
#

willie's arm just drops off

#

no blood

shell bronze
#

i have a clip where i do get grazed

#

i was genuinely so mad when he drew blood because it was a solid clip all around

fallow monolith
#

one of these moments where i feel like a game is easier for everyone else

shell bronze
#

but i usually i just throw hands with anyone

fallow monolith
#

this all looks easy to pull off on paper, but when i play and move my mouse by 0.5mm, i whiff my swing completely

#

and lowering sens aint an option, cuz then i have to move my mouse across the table like a rower on a canoe

shell bronze
#

trust me

fallow monolith
#

it feels like 80hrs are wasted, even though i know im not that bad lmao

shell bronze
#

just beat them across the head

#

i spent a decent while figuring out how to parry with respect to the game's AI and physics + movement

clever yew
#

the sickle is lowkey slept on

shell bronze
#

every weapon has its counter and a playbook of techniques to use against

clever yew
#

whats that one weapon thats similar to a sickle but it barely does any damage

shell bronze
#

some rely on AI, some rely on the game's inherent physics shenanigans, and some are objectively just actual textbook techniques

clever yew
#

its like 90% stick and 10% sharp part

#

it sucks

#

never got killed by one

#

used by peasants

shell bronze
#

peasant weaponry is like that

clever yew
#

what is it called tho it seems like some sort of gardening tool

shell bronze
#

my favorites in that tier are the axes and the pitchfork

#

no idea

clever yew
#

im not talking about the big stick

#

hoe i thinkl

#

used for gardening

#

im talking about the one thats similar in size and appearance to the sickle

shell bronze
#

the hoe

#

yeah it sucks

clever yew
#

the hoe is really good

#

it has good range

#

and damage

shell bronze
#

it doesn't swing right, doesn't have much fun surface to it, and is dull as shyt

#

pitchfork and axe meta

quiet ferry
clever yew
#

let me look it up

#

yeah seems like it

#

that weapon SUCKS

fallow monolith
#

scythe OP, even though the blade is never really aligned with the swing

#

but when you get touched by it you instantly get cut in half

clever yew
#

not the scythe

fallow monolith
#

or he pokes you with it and you immediately die so hard the next 3 generations feel it

shell bronze
#

scythe is a bitch iwl

fallow monolith
clever yew
#

why does willie have god tier aiming

#

he aims his stabs well and always follows your weapon

shell bronze
fallow monolith
shell bronze
#

you can do the same

clever yew
shell bronze
#

and even play into his tracking

clever yew
#

my sensitivy is up the wazoo

shell bronze
#

drop it and learn weapon control

#

have a little fun with willie

fallow monolith
#

playing 1st person is just a debuff at this point. cant see shit, and enemy plays like hes in 3rd person lmao

#

idk how to explain

shell bronze
#

you play off of muscle memory and/or straight guesswork sometimes

fallow monolith
#

if you cant see your own weapon 90% of the time and how its being held/how the blade is aligned, how are you even supposed to play properly

shell bronze
#

or have to resort to small cuts

fallow monolith
#

also goodbye if you have ANY helmet

#

knight tier in 1st person has to be a joke lol

shell bronze
#

there's a certain helmet that has insane visibility

#

i don't know what it's called and forgot what it looked like but there's one that gives you really good angles without sacrificing any protection

fallow monolith
#

3rd person man at arms with longsword is my most fun way of playing. challenging but rewarding good aim, parries and predictions

shell bronze
#

veteran and man at arms longsword is a treat

#

nothing but fun

clever yew
#

me and the enemy both lost our arms and we kept screaming for like 5 minutes straight and i just kept kicking him and he eventually fell down and gave up

#

pure agony

fallow monolith
#

veterans often still have parts of the chest exposed, i dont like that too much. man at arms has only the neck or shoulders exposed

shell bronze
#

and that one you just have to blunt force him into submission

fallow monolith
#

having to aim for small weakpoints without being frustrating, perfectly balanced as all things should be

#

also stamina for more than 1 hit

remote kindle
#

Yeah the boss one is DEFO better

shell bronze
#

i had to play it low risk and switch to hasso no kamae for a kill blow instead of trying to play the parry game

fallow monolith
#

only time i beheaded someone intentionally

#

my own personal hall of fame moment

shell bronze
#

beheadings are so fun i don't know why the game is so stingy on those

#

you could put your sword clean through dude's neck and shit would not fall off 8/10 times

#

like bruh

The final baron kill, today i rejoice at 10 kills within the span of two weeks!

why is medal not using my edited version

there ya go

straight bullying

viral palm
#

Yikes, cut off the head of a guy with a halbret ish thing, in the last ultimate challenge and my game crashed with "FATAL ERROR" lol

shell bronze
#

blood does that

viral palm
#

But its easier to tell how damaged they are with blood :((

soft osprey
#

Some people deal with the crashes cause they like blood too much

#

You wouldn’t be alone lol

viral palm
#

Oh no, I tried without blood right after your response - But it's hard for me to tell if they are about to die damaged or just... damaged xd

#

Blood is for strategic play only FancyPepe

scenic quail
#

Mittelhaw is such a good cut when you're fighting someone without stomach protection

#

When you slice them across their belly they fall instantly

coral reef
#

Which should I keep fellas, du ponte stick or commoner boss greatsword for abyss

#

The du ponte is the stick with spikes all over it

soft osprey
#

And the answer is just that

coral reef
sharp sky
#

isnt it plançon

coral reef
#

I’ve called it the other name for a long time and now I’ve just looked up its name and it’s the plancon

#

My bad

sharp sky
#

is the "ç" in "plançon" correct

soft osprey
#

Plançon à picot or the neegan bat, spikey stick, etc.

sharp sky
#

didnt know french had "ç"

hybrid garden
#

why is my game just constantly crashing at low graphics?
like when ever armor or im 1v3 at last rank it just either sends out an error but i can still play or it just closes itself

opaque creek
sharp sky
#

i just cut a willie's leg by thrusting somehow

hybrid garden
# fierce wedge happens

it happens way to frequently
yeah sure the game is in demo but if it just crashes i cant make any progress 😅

soft osprey
#

Make sure you’re running on dx11

hybrid garden
#

ight ill see ty

sharp sky
#

for me it just doesnt crash at all

coral reef
#

I’ve done some testing and holy shit commoner greatsword is extremely underrated

#

It’s killed 3 bosses in a row with full armor

#

In void mode ofc

sharp sky
#

did they purposefully made it so if you decapitate a person their head only falls off after they fall to ground

#

or is it a bug

sleek gull
coral reef
#

Makes for dramatic moments though when they fall after the body hits the ground

sharp sky
#

i just skinned a willie so badly

#

his eye is cut in the middle

#

god damn

coral reef
#

Okay never mind

#

That’s not gonna scar

#

It’ll probably bruise bad though

sharp sky
#

he's dead

gritty wedge
#

i hate willie so god damn much

#

he kept picking up shoes in the baron challenge

#

instead of the sword

how does this happen lol

baron is so ASS

maybe i should experiment with higer/lower fov

for example I would know

plancon and any polarm works wonders

Is not just regular greatsword he has?

Oh word I didn’t realize it was even bigger lol

Imo the baron isn't hard to use, you just gotta Half Sword

size matters cause if it was smaller it wouldn’t be a greatsword now would it

Baron is definitely compensating
