Holy shit
Multiplayer is kinda already a thing
Not online but local
Still kinda cool it shows the concept can definitely work
That's actually an insane mod though holy shit
The amount of work that must've went into programming that
It's not like other mods where it's just a shader or loadout or trainer
Idrk
But I saw it on nexus
I'm assuming it was for the playtest though
The fact that it DID work is still cool though
online multiplayer might be feasible
This could be such a goated game with a ranked mode
Imagine being d1 half sworder
It could be called the munus
And the map could be a colosseum

rigid stirrup
you know what would be a really cool addition to the gauntlet gamemode
persistent scarring
every injury you get in a fight (that you survive) stays with you as a scar
cerulean moss
People would be so dead if any sort of dismemberment carried over
rigid stirrup
well dismemberment should probably end your run
realistically
i guess it could be a difficulty setting
its like how if you get your throat cut you can cheese it by surrendering quickly before you bleed out
cerulean moss
Yeah. I wonder if we’ll get more in-depth dismemberment, like fingers being chopped off, in the future. That could be survivable.
Or an ear or something.
rigid stirrup
that would be cool
even losing a hand and having to fight on with only one handed weapons could be plausible
cerulean moss
Like, we’ve already got the partial skull chopping in Gruesome mode pretty often, I think it’s doable.
rigid stirrup
the current gore system isn't really much like the one that will be in the final release though
they've been reworking it for a while
the old playtest had a different gore system
stuff like this
cerulean moss
Would be great, all of it. I just don’t wanna make the game harder than it already is.
Yeah.
I much prefer the new system, could use better particles though.
And more dynamic bruising.
rigid stirrup
the current system doesn't have much blunt damage though
you can break limbs
but for example hitting someone in the head with a pollaxe
often just knocks them out
when realistically blunt weapons would be caving in skulls and stuff
cerulean moss
when realistically blunt weapons would be caving in skulls and stuff
Eh… not really, with a proper helm, and normal fighting conditions.
rigid stirrup
oh i meant an unarmoured head
cerulean moss
But against unarmored? Yeah.
My internet is dying, lol.
I have noticed that blunt weapons can drain a lot of stamina, I think that’s what they’re meant to be used for.

Interesting, good to know. I’d imagine it was mostly for performance, as even now I lose frames when blood is onscreen.
tough yew
vertex paint is pretty unstable for what they’re going for
they’re making their own in-house solution for the blood
rigid stirrup
But their damage properties are just *too* low right now.
i think they overperform a bit against armoured targets
you can knock out a fully armoured knight with a couple of swings to the helmet
and they underperform against unarmoured ones
like commoner tier mace for example, its borderline unusable
cerulean moss
I think that’s… somewhat reasonable, if they’re proper swings, but the contrast to their performance against unarmored is just really noticeable
rigid stirrup
a proper swing from a polearm could definitely stun a knight
but with a one handed mace it would be less effective
though some of the knight tier maces are massive
cerulean moss
a proper swing from a polearm could definitely stun a knight
And a well-timed push could well topple them, I’d think.
rigid stirrup
yeah after they'd been rattled by a strong impact

Guys, very often when I fight with only my hands, without a weapon, the character enters a sort of infinite stamina degradation that doesn't stop even if you stop and wait; in fact, it decreases more and more slowly until the character falls to the ground and can't get up again.
What causes this and how do you fix it?

Autoparry is supposed to only kick in if you arent moving the mouse at all.
But that does make attempts to use static guards harder.

Also, DLAA is surprisingly… good. In my limited time using it, I kinda prefer it over SMAA, not gonna lie.

this is true also. but using DLSS feels like trying to display 766,6p on a 1080 monitor
none of the pixels align and everything is blurry and out of focus it looks like
only with DLSS if you stop moving the game camera or stare at a wall the picture slowly becomes more crisp like if you disabled it

I’m fine with things being a little fuzzy, to be honest. Antialiasing usually does that anyway, TAA or FXAA that devs seem so fond of.
At 67% (Quality preset) it’s barely noticeable.
