[faint sage]

I guess

[north hamlet]

i can only play abyss

and when i click on challenge>gauntlet nothing happens

[faint sage]

Weird

[north hamlet]

idk

how do u usually play gaunltet

[lime path]

Thanks boss

[faint sage]

you boot up the game and click "Play Demo!"

ofc after picking the gruesome gore level

[north hamlet]

ok thanks

[faint sage]

wait you didn't know this?

[north hamlet]

no

i didnt see the play demo button

i thought i had to beat abyss to unlock gauntlet

[faint sage]

no

would be funny for april 1st tho

or for a "fuck you" difficulty

[royal thistle]

April 1st having a

Butterflies and rainbows gore option

That is basically the pyrovision goggles

[faint sage]

that would be funny

but what would be more fitting for the game is that all weapon and armor get changed into fantasy stuff || @white oracle ||

[royal thistle]

Ngl as someone who finished rdr2 almost not killing friendly npcs due to over empathy i for some reason dont feel it while playing half sword

[faint sage]

because NPC's in RDR show personality

half sword has

W I L L I E

[royal thistle]

"CUCKOLD"

[faint sage]

"BAFOON"

[royal thistle]

Shits hit my brain

I cant kill him, those words are too deep

[faint sage]

"Do not let thee hand be heavy upon me... noooo"

[royal thistle]

There was once i was playing with the

Plaçon

I pierced this mfs neck and he got up and kept on fighting

[faint sage]

[royal thistle]

So i guess i just fought myth accurate rasputin

[faint sage]

I want to be able to break arms so bad that the bone cartoonishly sticks out

[royal thistle]

I want to hit someone hard enough they get brain damage

[faint sage]

yes

lets get the VFX team sweating

let us crush skulls

[royal thistle]

Do you prefer

Blunt force weapons or blades

I personally like myself a blunt force weapon

[little verge]

You will see in EA the gallons the have already devoted.

[royal thistle]

I cant wait for the full game bro

I wanna butcher my friend in the multiplayer

[faint sage]

damn

https://tenor.com/view/huh-gif-20211479

josef POV

[royal thistle]

And i wanna see the last tier

[lapis marsh]

You already can

You need to beat the gauntlet

[faint sage]

you have to beat the ultimate challenge

[royal thistle]

ok guys time to sweat

[faint sage]

the first time I tried it for weeks on straight

the second time it only took me a day

[lapis marsh]

I beat the gauntlet the same day it came out

[royal thistle]

I wanna be the first mf of my nation to finish it

But someone probably passed ir alreadg

Even though the half sword comunity is not very alive in where i live

So yeah ill go sweat in half sword

[faint sage]

half sword is still pretty niche sadly

[lapis marsh]

it shouldn’t be

It’s peak

[faint sage]

there are a lot of "yes I love knights and stuff" people
but the medival community looks pretty dry sadly

[faint sage]

true

[lapis marsh]

They gotta bring back plate armor chat

[faint sage]

I'll buy the EA version the day it comes out

[lapis marsh]

Same

I’ll preorder that shit if I can

[lime light]

[pearl ferry]

https://tenor.com/b15Xu.gif

or dark Souls

[faint sage]

I mean

it is cool

[bright helm]

[lapis marsh]

It’s literally peak wdym

when they say they like knight stuff

[faint sage]

https://tenor.com/view/embed-no-no-embed-megamind-megamind-meme-gif-25261934

[lapis marsh]

Real knights are almost the same

Same armor same cool weapons

[faint sage]

[sharp sky]

huh

[lapis marsh]

Yes

[sharp sky]

which gif

[pearl ferry]

it's a dance fight

[bright helm]

the skyrim online knight

[pearl ferry]

like yeah it looks really cool

[sharp sky]

oh

[bright helm]

its how i picture myself when i play baron in brave stand

[faint sage]

I dont like playing the baron

but I dont really like the knight tier either

[lapis marsh]

Don’t gatekeep medieval knights bro

[bright helm]

his normal weapon feels like ass so i switch to his bigass sword

[sharp sky]

theyre so shitt

its just mace fight

no sword cuz every part of your body is just armor

[lapis marsh]

Poleaxe

[faint sage]

I like commoner the most
the highest tier I like is veteran

[pearl ferry]

u can still use a sword

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1407060579104985242/bonkbonkbonk.mp4?ex=68adf547&is=68aca3c7&hm=a840d48013b3b387607859eacfdee6abc98d7acebcbb8473e285e5ab6b65f102&

[bright helm]

i wish i could just take the helmet off or atleast put the visor up with the knights

i love first person but pretty much every tier above veteran is not playable

[sharp sky]

still hard to fight

[sharp sky]

and it takes stamine

[pearl ferry]

u can learn

[sharp sky]

its just not fun

[pearl ferry]

i enjoy most tiers except baron cus it's just annoying at that point

[sharp sky]

baron is shit yeah

[lapis marsh]

Baron fucking sucks yeah

[sharp sky]

use fists and you have 0 stamina

[bright helm]

damn am i the only one who likes baron here

[sharp sky]

weapons are shit too

[faint sage]

and the weapons are way to heavy

[sharp sky]

most of em are too heavy or long to be used

[faint sage]

yes

and I dont like the golden armor

[shell bronze]

baron is easy just don't use baron weapons lmao

you can be a menace with loadout selector

[faint sage]

I dont want to use a mod to make him likable

[bright helm]

for me his giga sword is really good, works great as a blunt and sharp weapon

[sharp sky]

never heard of that mod

[shell bronze]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1406855255836328060/39A62F1.MP4?ex=68addecf&is=68ac8d4f&hm=d190a2de6c8dc7d35163d0661ce526a6530519056f7ee01bf1b51d786b12c7d3&

[shell bronze]

now you have

[lapis marsh]

The baron poleaxe is fucky

[sharp sky]

its too heavy

if it wasnt its the best weapon

[bright helm]

real, it either instantly knocks them out or you get the weakest swings imaginable

[lapis marsh]

Exactly

EXACTLY!!!

[bright helm]

its so hard to even get the guy to lift the poleaxe high enough to hit their head

[lapis marsh]

It’s too damn heavy to actually be viable

[sharp sky]

if baron had more stamina it would be a good tier

[modern epoch]

those mace kills where so fucking clean

holy shi

[pearl ferry]

i love maces

they are soooo fun

[modern epoch]

fr

[bright helm]

how many hours bro

[modern epoch]

and satisfying to get kills with

[bright helm]

every time i think im pretty decent at the game, im IMMEDIATELY humbled by clips such as these

[pearl ferry]

[modern epoch]

lol

[pearl ferry]

mace 1 2s are my favorite

[bright helm]

i cant even imagine getting such good control over your weapons

[modern epoch]

i got 82 hours

[pearl ferry]

where they tank the first hit and look at u like u hit them with the raid dollar store spray

[modern epoch]

and am still shit

sad

[pearl ferry]

mmm a few

[bright helm]

the only weapon im reliably pretty good at is the long axe and thats just because it does SO much damage and does good blunt damage

[bright helm]

that tracks

im only barely cresting 30

[royal thistle]

Bro

[bronze hearth]

they attack me without one hand

[royal thistle]

I just pierced the peasant's grete champion's pp with a pointy thingy i forgot the name

[rare hearth]

didnt your parents once tell you not to step on shattered glass?

[thorny barn]

like when i turn theyre arm is so bent

and their arm for some reason is

okay

[shell bronze]

just walk around lmao

[bronze hearth]

fist to fist combat gotta be harder

npcs acting like a fish

[lapis marsh]

no

[royal thistle]

IM AT THE LAST TIER PLEASE PRAY FOR ME

[bronze hearth]

yes

[lapis marsh]

left click + right click + rapidly move mouse left and right

ez

[bronze hearth]

i know

too easy

[lapis marsh]

oh thats what you were saying

[bronze hearth]

npcs cant even win with me standing still

[lapis marsh]

maybe you right then

the ai in general is a bit stupid

[bronze hearth]

they get better in sword

[shell bronze]

not by much

[lapis marsh]

not by much

they''re still pretty primative

[bronze hearth]

right

[shell bronze]

there's no reason why i should be able to do this

[bronze hearth]

difficulty selection would be good

[shell bronze]

but at the same time people bitch about commoner boss enough as it is

[bronze hearth]

i lose to this boss everytime without pitchfork

[shell bronze]

time your attacks

bait and dodge

[bronze hearth]

👍

[hollow delta]

revenge for the campaign

[turbid basalt]

I've finally beat the baron gauntlet thing, took so long with all the crashes but it's worth it to be dripped out in gold

[turbid basalt]

Bro wtf 😭 I'm just blindy swinging

[shell bronze]

it's doable you just need to get a feel for it

[faint lichen]

I can't wait for that game to be out especially now that I have access to nuclear computer 😂😅

[rigid stirrup]

sword and buckler is the solution you are looking for

his sword is so heavy its almost impossible to parry with the longswords available at commoner tier, but a buckler can do it

[solar nest]

iirc its supposed to drop q4 2025

[faint lichen]

Yes I'm bad at math so I hope it's q4 everyone now and then 😂😂

[lofty mesa]

How do I stop getting fatal error i was on the 2nd to last class in the gauntlet and crashed

[ancient loom]

ai is just trying too much sometimes

[vital perch]

disable blood + gore

[lapis marsh]

turn off blood

is the price of the full game confirmed?

[vital perch]

~20 USD / 100 PLN is my guess

[quaint vector]

respect for currency change, it would be a bit less tho

[past canopy]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUaoljqqnYI&t=2s wanna see a half sword meme video? XD

[ancient loom]

How do you even parry like that

[vital perch]

auto-parry

the game tried to adjust your sword the best it can to parry

[ancient loom]

my auto parry doesn't do that

[vital perch]

you need to guide your mouse a lil

[lapis marsh]

autoparry is very wonky

[vital perch]

it works like 50% of the time

either it does or it doesn't

[lapis marsh]

20% of the time it works 70% of the time

[ancient loom]

did you just die mid sentence?

[lapis marsh]

no?

[ancient loom]

idk where is the 10% then or im just stupid

[lapis marsh]

it's a percentage of a percentage

to put it in another way

it has a 20% chance of having a 70% chance of working

[ancient loom]

so 14%

i get it now

[lapis marsh]

the usual quote is 'x% of the time it works every time'

[lapis marsh]

i said nothing about the other 80% of the time

[pearl ferry]

bweeb

[ancient loom]

I assumed it doesn't work 80% of the time. I really need to go to bed my brain is melting

[shell sky]

how can i learn hema i wonder

i only know like zwerchau and zornhau

[lapis marsh]

go to a hema club

[royal thistle]

There is more....

[lapis marsh]

i have said this a thousand times before and i will say it again

hema should be an olympic sport

[shell sky]

are there any in the country of saudi arabi

i wonder

i'll check google maps

there are none in my country

[lapis marsh]

im pretty sure the hema alliance website has a map of all the clubs in the world

[shell sky]

[lapis marsh]

halfsword pvp is gonna be peak as fuck

[shell sky]

i agree

[harsh imp]

Good question! Right now the referee will be either me or eso by default. BUT! We do have open positions for a commentator job, and a referee job.

[shell bronze]

i like commentating

[sleek gull]

Thats what i'm looking forward to

[harsh imp]

so if you wanted to sign up to be a commentator/referee, you can always join and apply to be one.

[lapis marsh]

i might do commentating as well maybe

[shell bronze]

used to do it a lot when i was hosting races in forza and f1

[lapis marsh]

you did?????

[shell bronze]

yeah i was doing a lot of hosting and coordinating for events

i commentate like one of the f1/nascar booth guys

[harsh imp]

Sounds like you could be a promoter if you wanted to be 😏

we need some good people who know how to host events

[sleek gull]

I'd like to have my own invitational league. For those who emulate RL technique. You'll be contacted = )

[shell bronze]

when you know what you're talking about and do it with vigor it makes even the most boring competition turn fun

[shell bronze]

i'm down

[shell bronze]

lmk lmao

[harsh imp]

Want the inv to the discord?

[shell bronze]

yessir

[harsh imp]

Dms

halfsword pvp scene is actually fucking popping off

i love it

[harsh imp]

56 hard willies have already joined AFC so id say so

[shell bronze]

commentating is a sport for me tbh

[harsh imp]

cant wait til afc can actually do events when split screen comes out

[shell bronze]

i'm also good at marketing and promo stuff

[sleek gull]

Even with it being split screen, and over questionable services, it will be amazing.

[shell bronze]

got TUFF posters and edits i used to make to get people into leagues lol

[harsh imp]

shiii i only do posters, check out event posters in afc discord

[lapis marsh]

half sword for evo 2026

[sleek gull]

Lets Go! lol

[lapis marsh]

[harsh imp]

Ill give you an invite. Check your dms!

[restive garnet]

oke thank you

[lime parrot]

im convinced no one here has beaten the ultimate challenge on regular damage

I swear everyone who Ive seen videos of just doesnt get one shotted by a slice that has no momentum

[lapis marsh]

the baron slipped over and i beat him silly

[shell bronze]

i got a series of videos i posted a while ago that document my full challenge before it crashed before baron

but i'm confident baron would have been two tapped by my plancon the moment i landed first hit

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

@lime parrot start here

this is 50/50 damage split

[ancient loom]

Really game?

[atomic stump]

shouldve croucehd ngl, wouldnt of been me

Guys

I just discovered there is music

[pearl ferry]

GET UP PRINCE OF TROY. I won't let a stone take my glory!

[pearl ferry]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO

this happens to me exclusively against the scythe boss

[jolly gorge]

Most tragic shit Ive seen in a minute

[jolly gorge]

How

[pearl ferry]

I stab him in the mouth or some other such horrid way to die and he just immediately nukes my back because I pushed him a little too hard

[jolly gorge]

Peasant boss is ridiculously easy

[pearl ferry]

It is!

I'm just saying anytime I die to it is because of a not intended swing

[jolly gorge]

💔

[pearl ferry]

Or like it touches the back of my foot when I've already dismembered him and my foot explodes

[jolly gorge]

remembering my peasant only run 💔

[shell bronze]

but commoner boss is hard right

[atomic stump]

Willy got no brain

[dreamy phoenix]

grew to really enjoy fist play recently

there's so much fun tech to mess around with

had to teach em a lesson...........

want a good squelch?

already posted this one before

but cutting a guy in three

[lapis marsh]

q4 this year

[desert acorn]

was a lot of fun

especially in a single slash

[cunning herald]

Will there be pvp

I want to fight my friend we just got the demo installed

[lapis marsh]

splitscreen but not online multiplayer

[cunning herald]

Why not

[lapis marsh]

first, it's only early access release

second online multiplayer is very very hard for a physics based game

[dreamy phoenix]

it's kind of tricky to make it work in multiplayer

actually is there any pvp footage from the gamescom booth?

or is it under some sort of nda?

[lapis marsh]

ask mcwonderbeast

i saw some footage he posted

^

[dreamy phoenix]

ooh, cool, was about to search for it

[lapis marsh]

online multiplayer is technically possible anyway with parsec/steam remote play

[dreamy phoenix]

man, can't imagine how it feels to play Half-Sword with gamepad

[lapis marsh]

torture

[dreamy phoenix]

since so much stuff in this game is momentum based

[hasty jetty]

calculator

[dreamy phoenix]

I mean there are probably ways to make it work but damn...

[lapis marsh]

controller is better for precise inputs, mouse and keyboard is better for precise movements

[cunning herald]

Oh because of latency and stuff

I guess

[hasty jetty]

halfsword on calculator

[lapis marsh]

half sword very much leans towards precice movements

[cunning herald]

I could make it work

[lapis marsh]

and desync

[lapis marsh]

probably not

[cunning herald]

You just need good WiFi

[lapis marsh]

you need a lot more than good wifi

you need to sort out how to make sure both computers are running the exact same inputs from both sides

[dreamy phoenix]

there's a shit ton of calcucations a game would have to do real QUICK in order for it to work properly on both sides

[cunning herald]

Just use chat got

[dreamy phoenix]

not only inputs but every minute physical thing

[lapis marsh]

if one side lags or something, desync occurs, and that fucks everything up

[novel nacelle]

A Half-Sword for Internet Cafés could be made. Ensuring everyone is on wired LAN

[lapis marsh]

chat gpt is NOT going to do that

[novel nacelle]

Plus, they'd earn revenue

[dreamy phoenix]

neat

[lapis marsh]

thats how they do it in fg tournaments

splitscreen

[dreamy phoenix]

make one in Moldova

I'll be there
eventually

[novel nacelle]

Which part?

[dreamy phoenix]

Chisinau would be more realistic, khkh

[dreamy phoenix]

what has this chat GOT exactly

[lapis marsh]

when splitscreen releases, it'll probably be possible to use parsec to do 'online' multiplayer that way but it's not really true 'online' multiplayer

[dreamy phoenix]

yeeee

that's still how Hellish Quart operates

and it's much more animation based than Half-Sword

[lapis marsh]

because the way parsec works is, only one person is actually running the game, the other has the display streamed to them and their inputs streamed back, as if they were playing side by side

which naturally means whoever is hosting has a big advantage since they have no delay

[lapis marsh]

hellish quart mentioned btw

[dreamy phoenix]

!!1

[vagrant rune]

can you play with friends on this game

[lapis marsh]

not yet

[dreamy phoenix]

used to be a really big fan of the game
I don't really play it all that much anymore

[lapis marsh]

we've literally been discussing it

[lapis marsh]

who you main

[vagrant rune]

do you know like an estament when they will add it

[lapis marsh]

splitscreen will be added when early access releases, q4 this year

[dreamy phoenix]

I used to really like Kalkstein

[lapis marsh]

istg nobody reads the fucking faq here 😭

[lapis marsh]

i'm an alexander main myself

kalkstein can be pretty fun, i can respect that

[dreamy phoenix]

ooh cool

I need to see what stuff new characters have to offer

man

there's also Gladio Mori

[lapis marsh]

havent heard of that one

[dreamy phoenix]

it's pretty interesting cuz it's built around having peer-to-peer connection

AND it's physics based

but the catch is you have preset animations for attacks

[lapis marsh]

so like hellish quart then

[dreamy phoenix]

another catch is that you can make those animations yourself and create your own moveset

[lapis marsh]

WHAT

CUSTOM MOVESETS????

[dreamy phoenix]

there's not too many moves though

it's like... six hits and four blocks

but yeah

and it's slow, khkh

[lapis marsh]

fighting games with custom movesets need to be a thing asap

[dreamy phoenix]

but ye, it's a really fun concept

[lapis marsh]

i dont care if there'll be a blatant meta. i need it

[dreamy phoenix]

I had a ton of fun playing it recently

[lapis marsh]

i'll check it out

[dreamy phoenix]

there's a bunch of Chinese guys playing it

and their main meta is making a turtle build

[lapis marsh]

intruiging

god we need a medieval fighter to go mainstream

[dreamy phoenix]

they just put their guy under a shield and stick out the sword in the front

[lapis marsh]

historically accurate honestly

[dreamy phoenix]

yeah except their characters look like this basically

[lapis marsh]

LMAO

did you make that yourself

[dreamy phoenix]

and they do custom jump animations so they just fly all over the map lmao

just drew it in paint, yeah, khkh

[lapis marsh]

its funny how in any reasonably accurate medieval fighting game the meta builds are exactly the fucking same as the meta builds were irl

[dreamy phoenix]

pfff ye, in some way

[low cliff]

two times in a row now on the final challenge

i was doing so god damn good

[lapis marsh]

poleaxes, spears, anything with reach basically dominates

[low cliff]

and then it says "fatal error"

i hate my life

[dreamy phoenix]

fucccc

[lapis marsh]

turn off blood

[dreamy phoenix]

if you don't expect too much out of Gladio Mori, it's actually pretty fun

[low cliff]

aight

[lapis marsh]

fully off

[low cliff]

kk

[lapis marsh]

yk before i got into halfsword i used to play bloody bastards on my phone

[dreamy phoenix]

haven't heard of this one

oh yeah it would totally be my jam some years ago lmao

[lapis marsh]

basically 2d halfsword on mobile yeah

super fun

[dreamy phoenix]

actually I'm gonna download it, it looks pretty fun

[lapis marsh]

it even has online multiplayer

i've basically finished all the main campaigns

[dreamy phoenix]

man, I'll be honest, ground fight in Half-Sword doesn't seem to have any real use

[lapis marsh]

hand to hand fighting, you mean?

[dreamy phoenix]

it's cool that it's there, people asked for it, but it's limited

hand to hand is fuckin cool

[lapis marsh]

wdym ground fighting then

[dreamy phoenix]

I mean swinging your weapon when you're laying on the ground

[lapis marsh]

ohhhhhh

i did not know you could do that

that does seem pretty useless yeah

[dreamy phoenix]

it was a big thing after the april 1st update

the game went from playtest to demo and it was hard as balls for the most part

it's a bit tamer now

[lapis marsh]

either you're low tier armor, cant defend yourself, and you die
or you're high tier armor, cant actually do any decent damage, and falling over is basically insta lose on high tier armors anyway

[dreamy phoenix]

getting up fast is the best option most of the time

[lapis marsh]

april update was certainly an interesting time for the community

[dreamy phoenix]

it was a shitstorm lmao

[lapis marsh]

credit to the devs tho. they locked in and listened to feedback from the community

that's a great sign for future updates

[dreamy phoenix]

I mean yeah, there was a bunch of really cool updates after the demo got released

[dreamy phoenix]

the team is pretty small and they're not usually all that transparent about what they're doing
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not, it's just what they're like, pff

it certainly adds to the MYSTERY though

finding out about the gauntlet for the first time was really cool

[lapis marsh]

although to be fair the april update wouldve gone down a lot better if they didnt shadowdrop it

[low cliff]

this game is rage inducing

[lapis marsh]

thats how it be

[low cliff]

i love when my arm is given the most lightest tap

[dreamy phoenix]

*abyss

[low cliff]

and my hand flies 2 miles away

[dreamy phoenix]

I'm fine with the whole gauntlet mode

[lapis marsh]

baron?

[dreamy phoenix]

ultimate challenge makes my piss boil

[low cliff]

no when ultimate challenge

[lapis marsh]

so baron yeah

[low cliff]

oh

[shell bronze]

ultimate challenge is voulge/plancon simulator

[lapis marsh]

baron poleaxe is mega overtuned

[shell bronze]

if the baron poleaxe was lighter he would unironically be a weapon

[little verge]

https://tenor.com/view/nods-yes-not-wrong-its-true-story-valid-point-gif-14782869

[lapis marsh]

baron poleaxe somehow manages to be both complete dogwater and stupidly op at the same time

[dreamy phoenix]

probably an odd take but I would like to have an option to go to the abyss when I die on upper ranks instead of the game just taking me there

[lapis marsh]

fair enough

the abyss does take a good while to load and unload

[shell bronze]

john wick ass fighting

[lapis marsh]

it's suprisingly performance heavy for a black void

[dreamy phoenix]

yeah, it's a bit cumbersome, I really like my QUICK games

[lapis marsh]

i play on free mode most of the time. i dont play gauntlet since i already beat it and abyss is fine but takes weirdly long to load

[dreamy phoenix]

fuck yeah, good roundhouse

[shell bronze]

longsword gameplay

[lapis marsh]

god i cant wait for weapon and loadout customisation. we can technically already do it with ovderths loader and halfsword enhancer but not having to rely on rng to get a weapon i like would be awesome

[shell bronze]

always wondered why man at arms still has that fuckass open face setup

[lapis marsh]

especially since it always stops generating a specific weapon the fucking moment i want it

[dreamy phoenix]

hype moments and aura

[lapis marsh]

wear your bevors kids

[dreamy phoenix]

makes me more excited for eventual early access

[rose spindle]

Please please please let it be me, I wanna be ultra handsome so goddamn bad ... If it's me, tell your sister thank you for the complement, if it was Ivan I will cry, he was also making prints at our booth

[lapis marsh]

i get a bad feeling i know what those jpegs are

<@&1080390104562016306> ?

ive seen these kinds of posts before

thank you

[dreamy phoenix]

fucker was surprisingly resilient

[lapis marsh]

not giving new joins embed perms saves my eyes again

[dreamy phoenix]

he got up after this and we fought for like 20 more seconds

[shell bronze]

me and my little baby sword

[little verge]

I mean your pretty damn handsome.

[rose spindle]

Armour and chaperon is a huge charisma boost

[Here](#game-footage-🎮🎥 message)

Oh, it worked

[atomic stump]

tasty

[shell bronze]

some of that brave stand fun

[serene tulip]

Been enjoying Greatsword so much it's manifesting in my Longsword play lol

[charred moth]

blood eagled gang

[serene tulip]

Now that I've really mastered a lot of the longsword, I've been shopping around for which one I like. So far I love the balance on this one. Something about it lets me use it similar to a greatsword but with the advantages of a longsword

This one lets me do a lot of what I enjoy, twisting mid-swing for stabs and is pretty good for ripostes

[sharp sky]

i also played the shit outta that game

it needs better gore n damage tho

all you get is blood

[jolly gorge]

Just used the cross guard on one of my irl swords to open a soda can that got fucked up

[jolly gorge]

You can get Brave Stand below T5?

[atomic stump]

No he used a mod to load a loadout while in later tiers

[jolly gorge]

Wish somebody would make an in-engine version so I could use it

[atomic stump]

yeah

[jolly gorge]

Linux is a fickle bitch

[atomic stump]

rippp

[plain geode]

how do i stop grabbing corpses while trying to grab weapons

[atomic stump]

aim better

(idk)

[lunar oxide]

ive somehow gotten stuck on my opponents arm

[glass kestrel]

lol. i do this almost everytime on accident

[lunar oxide]

it kind of shocked me honestly, somehow in close to 200 hours I've never managed to do that.

[royal thistle]

Any tips on how to play the baron?

Yknow, how to hit

The devs decided to make the baron's main weapon heavy asf while he maintains a normal strength

[royal thistle]

Ay how do you mix in tiers like that

[lapis marsh]

ovdriths loader

[lapis marsh]

thats the neat part, you dont

[strange citrus]

Sometimes willies just take it like good little boys

[royal thistle]

Some bug happened and i accidentally entered beggar territory as baron

So yeah mfs were stabbing me while i was in full plate armor

[strange citrus]

Its not a bug its when you enter free play after leaving the game it saves your own class and puts you against beggar lvl

I mean it is a bug but yeah u know what i mean

[atomic stump]

did you win?

[royal thistle]

Maybe

Beggars are quite strong ykow

[strange citrus]

I once lost as knight against 4 beggars

[atomic stump]

thats just a skill issue ngl

[royal thistle]

What if he spins and drills yo ass like that one blood knife from jjk

[strange citrus]

I mean not really it was a 4v1

[lapis marsh]

what the fuck

[royal thistle]

You do know your punchs will hit like a speeding train due to the fact you're using metal gloves

[strange citrus]

Why would I punch? I have a sword

[royal thistle]

Jjk blood knives have constant spinning motion so that they drill onto opponents

[royal thistle]

Yeah maybe thats why you lost

[lapis marsh]

jojo reference

[royal thistle]

True

[strange citrus]

Because I had a sword? No I lost cuz it was a 1v4 obvi

[lapis marsh]

major skill issue

catastrophic skill issue

[strange citrus]

How is losing a 1v4 a skill issue tho

[lapis marsh]

you're a fucking knight

you have plate armor

[royal thistle]

Dude is a weakling having to bring a sword to a fist fight

[lapis marsh]

it shouldnt be that hard if you know what you're doing

[lapis lance]

Against beggars?!?

[royal thistle]

1 dude with a sword and fully metal armor vs 4 dudes unarmed and naked

[atomic stump]

how did you even get against 4 beggars, i mean spoilance but theyd have weapons there

[lapis marsh]

sword literally one shots beggars. how tf did you lose

[strange citrus]

Well its hard theres 4 of them and they have knives, anyones losing that

[lapis marsh]

YOU HAVE PLATE ARMOR???????

[royal thistle]

Heck even PUNCHES one shots beggars if you hit the right place at the right mousespeed

[strange citrus]

Play free play, leave the game and come back, then hit play again without selecting class itll put you against the beggar class with whatever previous class u were using

[strange citrus]

Yeah but 4 against 1 and they gang up on you too

[royal thistle]

Ok so basically you lost because you were in spoilance

[strange citrus]

Ok but im playing on regular speed

[royal thistle]

Right?

Because if you were in like carnage thats a skill issue ngl

[lapis marsh]

4 against one doesnt matter when A you can tank all their shots and B you have a sword that can oneshot beggars

[strange citrus]

I dont play spoilance lol

[strange citrus]

I guess I have bad aim maybe idk

[royal thistle]

Like dude, pretty sure that if you butcher a beggar in front of another one the witness will surrender how the hell did you not kill a single one

[lapis marsh]

genuinely catastrophic skill issue

[atomic stump]

well obviously but theres fist play which is 1v1, carnage, 1v1v1v1, then spoilance is 1v1v1v1v1 with weapons

so how

[strange citrus]

I didnt day that i didnt kill a single one just that i didnt win

[atomic stump]

how 1v4

[royal thistle]

Temu plate armor

[lapis lance]

fr

[strange citrus]

I guess so bro

[lapis marsh]

this guy is fuckin ragebaiting istg

[lapis lance]

ok in fairness

the knives are so fucking broken

[atomic stump]

no i couldnt have guessed

[lapis marsh]

debateable

[lapis lance]

i wouldnt be suprised if a beggar tapped his plate armor and it evaporated every molecule of his body

[novel sequoia]

There is no "in fairness", just a huge skill issue

[strange citrus]

this is my favoutie way to cut people in half

[lapis lance]

holy fuck lmao

[lapis marsh]

it wasnt even fair, it was massively weighed on his side against 4 unarmored beggars and he lost. wtf

[novel sequoia]

Yeouch

[urban jackal]

this game never gets boring

[royal thistle]

I dont like cutting people in half, i like beating them with blunt force weapons

[royal thistle]

I died once because i dropped my sword and it fell on top of my head

[strange citrus]

bro thought he could escape 😂

[urban jackal]

i died multiple times because i walked onto a sword

[urban jackal]

☠️

[lapis marsh]

major skill issues in chat today damn

[urban jackal]

bruh

[urban jackal]

i rather cut limbs off slowly

[strange citrus]

yo this guy is sadistic

[urban jackal]

WRONG

they do the same to you

[strange citrus]

true

I feel like this game honestly makes me a better person

[urban jackal]

bro what?

🤨

shield users get a worse treatment

[royal thistle]

I do believe people who plays knight and uses swords are future doctors

You gotta have some INSANE precision and cordinations to slash shit

[urban jackal]

i cry f- shut up

[urban jackal]

exactly wht im doing rn

haha

[strange citrus]

Round 2

[urban jackal]

if only i can skin them

[strange citrus]

im sure the cartel has some job openings

[urban jackal]

i sure hope i pass the test

[strange citrus]

nakey

Cheeked up on a monday

[urban jackal]

😂

thrusting looks badass

[strange citrus]

Damn with one leg is crazy

[urban jackal]

the moment he cut of the leg was the moment i peirced him

[strange citrus]

Crazy

[urban jackal]

except, my chances of survival is higher

i despise plancon users

[warped kiln]

owch or not?

[urban jackal]

little scratch

will heal quick

[strange citrus]

Yeah, theyre boring, swords are the best 🙏

[warped kiln]

This´but a scratch! i can still fight!

[urban jackal]

parrying them feels nice

[warped kiln]

same

they dont even really pen anything

[urban jackal]

LEAST skilled

[warped kiln]

not even clothes

[warped kiln]

yes

[urban jackal]

except

when you use it, it does nothing

when your enemy uses it, one shots you

[strange citrus]

Theyre still super op

[warped kiln]

btw how can i dodge the attacks from the lower left or right that bots do with their swords sometimes

[urban jackal]

wdym

[warped kiln]

like they cut from down there up, i cant dodge them

[urban jackal]

oh

parry it

[strange citrus]

You can parry or move?

[urban jackal]

i have almost 100 hours

and i still have some difficulty

[lapis marsh]

i have over 100 hours

honestly just keep out of their distance

[strange citrus]

I have over 110 hours

[urban jackal]

ok maybe not almost

[warped kiln]

how do you parry those? i tried it hundrets of times to parry but i simply cant because my character whont move his sword there

[urban jackal]

but still, thats a lot of time

[urban jackal]

keep distance

let him slash

[lapis marsh]

130+ roughly

[urban jackal]

then easy hit

[warped kiln]

we have the same amount

[strange citrus]

Hold your sword low bro

[urban jackal]

wrong

we have ROUGHLY the same amount

[warped kiln]

THAT never helps

[strange citrus]

Wir haven eine Deutscher

[warped kiln]

it only gets me count dokud

[strange citrus]

Yeah it does lil bro skill issue

[lapis marsh]

stay out of the way, let him miss that swing

[warped kiln]

go fuck ur self with "skill issue"

[lapis marsh]

not helpful

[warped kiln]

thanks!

[urban jackal]

skill issue

[lapis marsh]

in general, it's a good idea to stay out of your opponent's range unless you are about to attack, or in the middle of attacking

[urban jackal]

i especially hate these guys

[lapis marsh]

maintaining good distance is key

[urban jackal]

one tiny movement and im cut in half

[strange citrus]

No but sometimes you gotta learn to parry too

[lapis marsh]

it may be yes, but parries wont always save you

[warped kiln]

okay, i still have to learn how to parry in time and how to move the sword, because sometimes when i move my mouse upper side, he let the tip of the sword up and not bring it down towards the enemy
can someone tell me the trick behind that?

[frosty citrus]

Quick question does anyone know if they plan on adding LangesMessers cause i really enjoy sparring with them irl and they were very common during this time period especially for the commoner class.

[urban jackal]

what trick

[lapis marsh]

im not sure, but they look fucking cool so maybe

[warped kiln]

i want the left picture but often get only the right picture

[lapis marsh]

bring your mouse down slightly

[warped kiln]

how do i get the sword like in the left picture, i only lift my sword in that way and pray that he points it forward

[warped kiln]

thanks

[urban jackal]

hold alt

[lapis marsh]

no thats not alt

[warped kiln]

wait i just noticed that you can move the rear of your mouse too, to adjust it

[lapis marsh]

alt looks different

[strange citrus]

No, if your actually trying to win, then stay out of range. But after a while winning gets easy so then you gotta spice it up a bit

[warped kiln]

Alt is downward thrust dude

[lapis marsh]

ok fair enough

[urban jackal]

oh that

i just tried it

[outer dirge]

Ahh dude im so bad at challenge mode

[urban jackal]

stupid piece of shit

[strange citrus]

Keep ur head up lil bro youll get there

[urban jackal]

lil bro 😂

[outer dirge]

Lil bro im 45

[lapis marsh]

LMAO

[urban jackal]

no way man

hahaha

[lapis marsh]

good for you tho!!! i dont see many gamers at that age

nvm fuck you

[urban jackal]

got me there

lmao

[warped kiln]

me: getting a cut on my ear

enemy: gets cut at throat

Me: dies immediatly
enemy: taunts me 12 times before collapsing and crying

HOW

[outer dirge]

45 tho 😂

[lapis marsh]

for a moment i forgot that people can lie

[shell bronze]

ikr

[outer dirge]

Imagine

[urban jackal]

never trust anyone

[lapis marsh]

might be because an ear counts as part of the head, so it's an instant death area

[urban jackal]

not even yourself

[strange citrus]

Naw but sometimes they be getting a papercut and giving ip like smh i was gonna let you go now I have to chop you up into 6 different pieces

[shell bronze]

old charged attack clip @lapis marsh

[strange citrus]

I dont think you can beat it

[urban jackal]

@untold spear

[astral raven]

Wait fr?

[strange citrus]

45 is crazy

[urban jackal]

say that again

skill issue?

[astral raven]

I mean like killing the baron I guess in the abyss

[urban jackal]

IM the one who killed him

[strange citrus]

Its endless

[untold spear]

Wrong guy sorry!

[astral raven]

Yes but you slowly progress through the bosses eventually you make it to the baron

[urban jackal]

i traded kills so im not too annoyed

[warped kiln]

okay how tf can i learn zornhau (cut from above onto the enemys head)

[strange citrus]

You almost got naked

[outer dirge]

Theres def some dudes in here at least 45

Liek deadass

[warped kiln]

aka how to get my mouse in a steady line down

[urban jackal]

wdym

[strange citrus]

Yeah im one of them

[urban jackal]

im 36

[strange citrus]

If you win but die after you respawn naked

[lapis marsh]

if you let go of left click and then re click it'll center it i think

[strange citrus]

Haha nice try bro

[outer dirge]

Yall got work in the morning

[urban jackal]

divide by 2

[strange citrus]

Unc question

[outer dirge]

Idk 36 divided by 2

[urban jackal]

☠️

[outer dirge]

18

[warped kiln]

is this a parry?

[astral raven]

It’s 12 right

[urban jackal]

thats some primary 7 work

not even primary 7

primary 5

[lapis marsh]

no

thats ox stance i think

[wild sparrow]

how do i kick

[lapis marsh]

space

[urban jackal]

spacebar

[wild sparrow]

ok

[warped kiln]

so an opening stance?

[lapis marsh]

ye

[warped kiln]

ox stance would be on the other side and streched out

[outer dirge]

Look at controls

[wild sparrow]

its not in there

[lapis marsh]

how do you know what an ox stance is but you dont know what a parry looks like

[warped kiln]

thats ox

[outer dirge]

Oh shit u right

[lapis marsh]

that aint ox

[wild sparrow]

ik

[warped kiln]

its the fucking closes i can get to the manual

[wild sparrow]

we need a half sword vr

[lapis marsh]

you can get much closer you just need to fliddle with positioning for a bit

[outer dirge]

I think theres 2 many vr games out there just like halfsword

[outer dirge]

Half sword got 2 much shit goin on for a vr anyway

[warped kiln]

PLEASE NO, it is the only game that isnt on vr and it is great outside of vr, not every game NEEDS vr

yk?

[lapis marsh]

suboptimal

[wild sparrow]

no i dont

it would be GOATED

[lapis marsh]

you can just not play the vr

[pearl ferry]

dual wielding = aura farming = optimal

[warped kiln]

you sound like a 6 year old child that grew up with tiktok in its mind

[strange citrus]

Always a classic

[wild sparrow]

kyw

[lapis marsh]

ok bro

[strange citrus]

67

[warped kiln]

? whats that?

[pearl ferry]

it's a trvke

[lapis marsh]

a what

[warped kiln]

nah but i would have to see all the youtube videos and vr only posts everywhere

im sick of that ngl XD

[strange citrus]

Aura farming is definitely optimal btw

[pearl ferry]

a trvke

[warped kiln]

shut up XD

wtf is even aura farming

[lapis marsh]

'aura farming is optimal' mfs when i cut they head open with a poleaxe

[warped kiln]

yes!

[strange citrus]

Poleaxe is not optimal

[lapis marsh]

not even true

[outer dirge]

Ur cooked bro

[strange citrus]

Polearm mfs when I parry there polearm get within range and cut them in half

[lapis marsh]

me when half sword grip

[strange citrus]

Bros from outer space or sum 😭

[novel sequoia]

Watch your mouth

[pearl ferry]

average polearm user

[lapis marsh]

dap me up bro

[warped kiln]

i just dont have tiktok and avoid it at all costs XD

[strange citrus]

The mayor of polearm town

[lapis marsh]

the ai just suck with polearms

[outer dirge]

I just went to polearm town nobody knew u

[pearl ferry]

tsss

[strange citrus]

Polearms are obviously the best in the game but thats why i dont use them theyre too op its no fun

[lapis marsh]

ok i can respect that

[coarse elm]

yet another ultimate challenge attempt ruined because the devs are more focused on modelling fucking turd models than fixing bugs

[lapis marsh]

turn off blood bro

[coarse elm]

nah

not a crash

[pearl ferry]

just wait till q4 then

[coarse elm]

my guy randomly decided to fly in a random direction

and then he crashed into a wall and fell to the ground

[pearl ferry]

lol

[lapis marsh]

physics engines be physic engining

[coarse elm]

and i was naturally mauled to death by 3 guys

[lapis marsh]

it happens unfortunately

[coarse elm]

shit happens too often honestly

getting a decent attempt in ultimate challenge is difficult enough

[pearl ferry]

the second a polearm touches my hands it's basically over no one can touch me

[coarse elm]

like 60 or 70% of the time i get stuck because the weapons i get are shit and i can't progress past the armored enemies

like i've already beat the ultimate challenge multiple times

a few by messing with the damage sliders, and like 2 or 3 with 50 - 50 damage sliders

and really, this shit doesn't even seem like it's about skill

it's just overwhelming amounts of rng

and hoping not to get fucked by a bug

[lapis marsh]

the last boss is fucked tbf but otherwise not really

[coarse elm]

baron is not that bad

[lapis marsh]

i havent encountered many bugs like that

[coarse elm]

neither is the black knight in the gauntlet

the gauntlet is piss easy really when you get a hang of the game's mechanics

[lapis marsh]

black knight is mega easy

[coarse elm]

the ultimate challenge is bullshit though

[lapis marsh]

ykw fair enough actually

[coarse elm]

i'm honestly wondering if the devs ever even beat the ultimate challenge themselves before putting it in the game

[lapis marsh]

many other people have

[coarse elm]

i know

but i kinda doubt the devs themselves did

heck, if they played it they might've realised what a steaming pile of shit it is

[little verge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1086506182090440794/1378840400290250932/willor.GIF

[lapis marsh]

devs are working on early access currently. so it should be fixed by then

[novel sequoia]

Imo the baron kinda sucks to play as

Not really worth it

[lapis marsh]

cold take

[coarse elm]

nah he's dope

[finite cypress]

fucker wouldnt die

[novel sequoia]

Was the skinning necessary?

[finite cypress]

yes

[lapis marsh]

his poleaxe is ridiculously heavy and hard to swing with

[coarse elm]

i've got the hang of it

[novel sequoia]

Same with the sword

Too long

[strange citrus]

Bonk

[coarse elm]

though polearm physics in this game in general suck

[lapis marsh]

fair enough as well

[lapis marsh]

not really

[finite cypress]

what
