AHHHH
if you point there youll stab there
nothing a hot water bottle and some ibupfrofen cant fix
not always
well, generally if you stab itll stab towards the screen's center
You just have to play with your willie a lot
can i get like
yeah, but it's hard to make it accurate
a tip on that
practice then
loooots of practice.
I guess no gifs work at all. 😮
ive been trying to integrate stabbing into me trying to beat the ultimate challenge
you gotta be level 2 or in a media channel
Oh, neat....
in #game-footage-🎮🎥 you can use gifs
Focus on stances rather than momentum
Stances and guards are huge for setting up strikes in this game.
Bring your weapon from point A to point B
can i get like a guide on that
or something
like if i send a recording of me js trying it out
if its #game-footage-🎮🎥 you can send it in #game-footage-🎮🎥
outspear them
damn. literally nothin works in here.
you need to be level 2...
Go in and test. All stances lie in a circle. Place your sword in one position (point A), and move it to another. (point B) Take note of where your weapon swings. Then try again from point A and adjust point B until you find a swing that you like.
Then just do it again and again, practicing doing that one swing over and over
ah yes the classic "master 1 move"
The Meyers Square can be practiced at the Training Dummy. I use it all the time to warm up
#sword #hema #fencing #martialarts #historicaleuropeanmartialarts
You can also try halfswording if you're using a sword. Geezmo has great advise on the methods though. A lot of it comes down to understanding the movement of your swings, you can also incorperate a sidestep while swinging to help motivate your strike.
Willie is a bit 'rubbery' in this game, but you can use that to your advantage.
Try sticking to a single style of weapon for a while too, since a lot of them behave differently on the swing.
Fuck all guides and "do this move to get better at the game" type shit
those tutorials piss me off because they never tell you how to get good overall but rather play like someone.
PLAY and FIND your playstyle
don't go to others for your own type of "How 2"
Gosh I miss playtest physics
This is exactly what I told him bruh
you deadass told him to master one move
tf you mean 😭
i try and i get my shit rocked though
That's not what I said bro
thats part of learning
i cant beat the ultimate challenge because i dont know what to do bro
you have no clue how much i died learning
ive been playing this game for a month
its part of the journey
how it feels to have a weapon glitch inside of you and youre just fucked
trying every weapon
my lord
learning isn't supposed to be easy bro
try harder (trust)
up until right past militia you can easily unarmed everything
this deadass works doe
i js got my shit ROCKED by a dude using that long pole shit bro
took me longer than a month to get even a grasp of this game, lol
everyone can be good by becoming GOOFY
trial and error
thats how poeple learn in the world of Half sword
u needa watch me play the game before u criticise
learn what you did wrong
because bro im fried
I DONT KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG
I typically suggest to pick a weapon, go on youtube, and search for the weapon name, and HEMA. Learn the basics, learn some drills, then learn how to implement it into the game
and don't do it again or try to not do it again
THE GAME JS FUCKS ME OVER
I do a lot of HEMA stuff IRL and tried incorperating that into the game, helps, but thats just my playstyle. Just practice and fiddle around.
that doesn't work for anything besides sword
"Don't do bad things, and only do good things"
:0
Ish.
"guys! this poorly optimized and developed game is actually good, you see!"
Get ur mits on a goedendag
I’ve practiced with swords irl, but no one where I live does HEMA.
you joined yesterday, i sense ragebait
cant do that because suddenly they become a trained war vetern
i do my little dodge tech and suddenly they know how to swing to the left
its a demo btw...
and then they slam me in the head
@ruby fern a guide for fade
Watch Untitled by voltakid242 and millions of other Half Sword videos on Medal. #halfsword
enjoy
its super technical
feint them, when move forward and back to get them to strike, if you also attack the air.
they will also attack
IM CRINE
Honestly, I can’t hardly tell half the time
😭
unreal-engineslop
For a Pole Arm, it could work too. But when it comes to spears, there really isn't any super technical stuff to learn. Stab, and that is basically about it. Outside of that, it is leverage manipulation in the bind and grapple. But this game does that stuff pretty poorly vs real life.
i mean the thing is
the fuck are you on about
for what i lowkey do
@ruby fern bro the guide is right there
Bro why are you giving tips? He should just PLAY and FIND his playstyle
and i just absolutely miss the one slash that could one shot
lets use context clues!
you need to watch me play
thens tream
in order to understand why im so washed
ill watch ya
Post some clips
but my guide is UNBEATABLE im telling a
the game is unreal engine slop? and how
OBS
You can stream in voice 1
thats like so untrue for spears, that i physically cringed
i dont see how my guide is not supremely educating
do i change my sensitivity?
or keep the normal one
no
I recommend around 70-100% sens
noted
thats a foreign playstyle for the spin losers like me that enjoy doing this shit
mine is normal rn
i cant find vc 1 am i sped
try all sorts of sensitivity and see what you like
good idea
Might need lvl 3
Your dude spun out like a Tokyo drift car
rots my brain exceptionally
add me
its in my bad clip folder
ill js stream there inna gc if anyone else wants to watch my horrible gameplay
I recommend killing the enemy and not letting them kill you
i just sent it because it was funny
What was incorrect and about Stab, and leverage manipulation in binds/grapples? What else is there to a spear?
Imo, it has 1 job, stab. I mean, I guess you could swing it around like a quarter staff, but that isn't really done commonly outside of trying to look cool
Can always play willie fishing with a spear.
your funny
That stab weapon is so peak
Do nothing, just hold out the weapon
pitchfork...
Weirdest pitch fork I’ve ever seen
what...
ONCE AGAIN FADE
Watch Untitled by voltakid242 and millions of other Half Sword videos on Medal. #halfsword
Must be old.
a guide for bosses even
Real talk its just trial and error
Don’t let them close! The good thing about a polearm is you never have to enter their range
Spears can do so much more, there is slashes, bashes, there is parries into riposte type moves even other technical stuff like those weird one hand open swings
its medieval times bro
I meant you
what
what teir is the most fun
im literally underage
before militia
You'll need to send me HEMA competitions where that is demonstrated.
I sent a hema video of a spear practioner swinging the spear
not THAT underage??
💀
but i like the gam
@sleek gull
anyway i do believe fade was baiting
my guide is supreme and he simply isnt using it
Watch Untitled by voltakid242 and millions of other Half Sword videos on Medal. #halfsword
Yoo!
I keep stabbing, and it just bounces off the unarmored folk. Not all, but more often than it actually stabs.
also, first person is so cursed xd
the guy in the blue hema jacket is def a lot better than I am at spear related hema.
Spear isn't just "let me poke" its a lot more than that 😭
i know this because i did it ❤️
just read this
Makes aiming easier
I did not use Fiore forms correctly here, but still it applies. I do use my knowledge in the game with how restricted it is for spears
while i get what you mewan you gotta kinda more put it in them, its not a butter smooth thing you have to hit them with the point which sort of magnetizes it into their bodyt
hey sensai
i.e in a literal sense stab harder
how do i be good like you
it's just weiird and inconsistent it feels to me. I've done some testing, and holding W alone seems to be a make or break for a lot of it.
Use polearms forever and ever
sort of true, i prefer sawing motions
The main thing that gets me is, I have the sword as close to me as possible and the point is center line, yet when I stab, it goes all the way out to right field, literally 🤣
a lot of polarms in hema teach you that stabbing isn't the ONLY thing you will be doing with those weapons, its a lot of bashing, slashing, tripping and using sword like hema forms to your advantage
people forget that those shafts can break bones fairly easily
I love the halberd. I've been smashing fools with it.
is this good
bonk on knee, bonk head until death
one of my favorite things is skewer
Watch Untitled by voltakid242 and millions of other Half Sword videos on Medal. #halfsword
First match he pulled off 1 successful downward vertical hit to the leg, 1 that was a whiff, and one that was a trade. Other than that, all stabs.
Second match was all stabs
Third match more stabs.
So, out of the three times it was anything but stabs, it only worked once. I maintain that stabbing is the best thing you can do with a spear lol.
I do so love though, using the half sword to kill people with the unarmored back
using irl jiu-jitsu knowledge to throw em to the floor while stabbing their back
i wish i knew how to do the funny grab slams
I've actually been using how the halfsword works to grab. Instead of just going to straight half sword, you have to physically grab the blade, so I swing it around behind them, then swap to half sword to lock em in. (I also often use this against salet helmets to remove their head from their torso)
sawing motions are also fun

That last one is pretty much exactly how I handle the armored folks with the open bottom part.
just pop there head off?
you really only stab in a few instances outside of ofc war, in Fiore manuals he states that swinging takes a lot room with a spear so while it is common to do swings with a spear, stabbing is always seen as the "Go to", in Guard of the true cross, stated you must stab into the chest when presented or have the ability to. in another example right guard of the window states that you will strike yours in passing into the chest
the stab in Fiore works, states that the stab is a riposte move
something you would do AFTER a parry
A stab is basically NEARLY the same as in sword related hema art, where you do it when you have a opening, parry then riposte, or in a bind, the same rly applies to spear. ofc you can do it whenever but the move is applied in the same instance regardless
Here is some nice spear dueling

Hehe do you get the joke it says stick around because they are fighting with spears which is a long stick with a pointy bit at the end, making the joke humorous in it’s truth
It is quite the anti joke
I'm learning how to manipulate the sword a lot better. Caught a spear using my crossguard, forced it against his own shield, then swapped to half sword and stabbed his head.
when is half sword early access expected to release?
2027
early 2027
no its not
Within the next 3 months
thank you
cut your sword in half to make it quarter sword

Wait for early access
Go to sleep

Early access is tomorrow 🙏
Half sword.
Stamina
ty
It’s less impactful at low tiers but once you get armor it’s totally worth
hi everyone
hey
guys what is your most favourite armor set in Half Sword ?
What?
Are those dates? Am I too American to understand
u r friend
Halfsword will release anytime within the next 3 months.
My bet is on February personally
NO!
GRAY IS MY FRIEND
YOU WILL NOT STEAL MY BESTIE FROM ME RAAAAAAAh
mine is late february-early march
Its my friend nickname for you
because its cooler
duuuh
Nice save
Oh thank yo- hey wait a minute
i dont like bastard sword ! it makes me feel like bastard :DDDD
wobba
Hi everyone, I'd like to know, is the game still being worked on? What's new about it? Haven't heard of anything about it which got me quite sad as I think this game had a bright future!
Thanks in advance 👍🏻
Yes absolutely still being worked on hard. Early access is slated for release sometime within the next 3 months
Wow, that's great news!
Do we know even vaguely what's it going to be like? I mean the game, gamemodes, customisation etc.?
Welcome
fatal error still not fixed?
try reinstalling game
it happened to me also but i tried to install game once more and now nothing bad is happening anymore
No, turn off blood
Won’t be fixed until early access
any idea when early access will be? 
Within the next three months
I was gonna play another game after walkiing the dog.
John sama
oh my god its john half sword
Do you love me
Then I sat down and realized, I was gonna just end up playing half sword anyways
Woah man things are moving way too fast
does anyone know when early access is going to happen
Next yesterday,
Halberd is so fun.
Doesn't sound definitely not, completely, possibly, potentially accurate
Sometime within the next 3 months
early access in 1 second, if nothing happens read this message again
just spent 2 minutes wrestling a dude, just to end if with one bonk to the side of his armored head
is it just me thinking it would be kinda cool to have some 11th and 12th century armour added to the roster
cursed
I've just been on a decap streak lately, so im indulging in more of that.
That was fantastic.
yeahhh he sure does.
Cool parry, but you just ran instead of riposting 
no Multiplayer?
well that was scary
honestly, commoner and the one below max level are the two most fun to me
the postal ost gave me a boost
Goddamn
Hip thrust of instant death and despair
Homero vas a recoltalte
Wut
I’ve heard chipbags crinkle less than Willie’s spine in those clips
I'd be dead too
press Z again
i mean should i only press it when im in fighting stance or no ?
Repost
you press it whenever you see fit, theres no real right or wrong time to use it
but lockon only works from fighting stance
you might find it a good tool to help relock onto enemies in any gamemode with multiple enemies, grapplers tend to go without lockon as it makes it easier to grab lower on the body
in the mods i just paste the files in the game folder right ?
breakin necks
loadout mods?
it depends what mods your getting
okey thank u ❤️
what- i didnt answer the question i asked you a question xD
mods, ban him for evading brainrot filter
you gotta ping the mods
im NOT pinging mods over that
tcalridge seems like hes not offline
clueless is right there
i noticed
seems like one of them tried using half sword enahncer. not on my watch
amen to that 
How do you get guns?
brotha you think the person that just learned about guns knows where to get guns?
wait until Early Access releases so i'm allowed to make the mod public lol
👍
fucking hell i want this game so much
glad devs are taking extra time, thats how you know its gonna be 🤌 🤌
I don't really care how long it takes the demo is fun enough tbh
Me telling the people i taught in half sword about Autumn:
has just enough content that it takes a good while of playing before it gets stale
bro they even delayed game at the most profitable time to release it
Bugs happened
Glitches even
many devs could not give a single fuck about bugs and still release it to get more profit
but these devs made a good thing
Well, these devs do care so eh 
hell yeah
I love how black shirt got ganged up on after slightly grazing me. he was so confident about it too the way he stood and looked at me
anyone know what to do when you click play on half sword and nothing happens
Verify game files is what I would try
that didnt work, it says running but the game wont open
try closing the game with task manager then verifying files
if that doesn't work try reinstalling it
otherwise idk
¯_(ツ)_/¯
yeah i tried uninstalling and reinstalling
earlier it had given me a fatal error code but it disappeared before i had time to read it
TRUE.
I 1v3 commoner boss with veteran tier stuff and axe
I uh, did it somehow without being hit
figured it out, was a computer problem not a game problem
just got paralyzed for the first time i didnt know that could happen
Lukes new addition to the gun mod, it's not finished yet
i kinda felt bad for this one
He's not allowed to release it until EA :(
I need totally accurate willie simulator ngl
ah yes, the instant neckbreakifier 5000
Big iron
Idk how you guys parry like that
Insane
parry is brazy
american medieval fights
just pull out a gloak on em
@shell bronze why are you clueless?
smile!
Talk about no life
i tried to extend an olive branch
My video glitched so it went from him subdued on the ground to him slowly bleeding out and falling over
I just one shotted the baron lmao
I dont have pic perms
YAYYYYYY
👍
I used the long spike mace thing
anyone here watch stranger things?
Nah
I just kill the npc even if they give up lol
hooked a man in the back of the head
I've been practicing a lot with both commoner and the fully armored knight in free mode. It's like two different games xd
willie fr thought he could use magic midfight, strength build wins every time
i hit a dude so hard I lost my halberd through his skull and in his chest
🥹
this game is the most rage inducing thing i've ever seen
i love it
it makes my blood boil, but i can't stop
it's mtg all over again
I just disarmed two people at once
Hello
mode where we are full plate knights vsing 8 peasants and commoners? 🤣
Can Someone teach me to slice properly
Wym?
Like when i slash them
at a critical spot like neck or head
they take it like a TANK
what weapon and how hard? what angle? Armor?
Longsword. Precised. Horizontal To Slash Head Or Neck. Commoner Rank So No Armor
idk. I turned mouse sensitivity to max and I'm knocking away their sword to open up a cut to the neck.
For me, commoner and below battles are usually 2-3 strikes.
So your saying you can defeat a beggar with 2-3 Punches?
if they're good punches yes
practice on dummy first
idk how to control my guy with kbm
it's slightly infuriating
hi
quarter sword
Bro got folded like a lawn chair
Let us parlay rather than perishing
i cant wait for my willy to have new tools
Dude plancon is so hard to counter if you don't have a one handed weapon
I believe that if you used a mod pistol to kill a plancon user it would still somehow fly to your head
and kill you
Show me a vid to see
not exactly impossible to beat
But you will usually get stabbed in buttocks
Maybe not
I just cut off both his arms in a figure 8 motion
one handed?
wot?
here me killing him fairly well with a sword from commoner tier
it doesn't require a one hand weapon, and your more fucked if you have one against a plancon
the main trap of the plancon is just handling the range
the ai thank god doesn't know how to use it
apart from that it's simple to counter yeah
they sometimes banzai charge you
yeah, if they played it well it would be hard to beat
but with this they either handle it like a spear or like a voulge
no Voulge in game
and no matter what they do they dont use it fully, the most dangerous plancon is the plancon on the floor
nah
daggers
do you not read?
I said the most dangerous plancon, not weapon on the floor
I just said a plancon is at its most dangerous when the ai dropped it
you quite literally said that...
also we do have a voulge ingame
sir
I did the thing.
okay yeah
reading up on it
lots of wrong depictions, you're right on that front yeah
the reason why that thing there is called a Vougle is because in the 19th a century a dumbass bitch boy misread the name and it was called that
i hope the person who misread translated the early halberd into a vougle
falls into a pit of landmines, snakes, spiders, man eating grizzly bears, demogorgons that are hungry, freddy fazbear, and goddamn Ken from street fighter
may I ask where did you get these images so i can laugh at it with people in the Ref
apparently the ref is from a 10 year old reddit post from a since deleted account
just reverse searched it from the google images result I picked them from
anyways
those halberds
are early halberds from Switzerland
(all halberds are swiss)
Konrad was the first one to rly talk about it
he also called it the halberd
did they change how cutting off parts works? i dont remember it being this smooth
you can see them in manuscripts in the battle of morgarten
no
huh... it feels diffrent
Meant arming swords and such
you can beat Plancon with anything
but don't use arming swords
or short weapons
did you touch the gore slider?
cause that has a big impact
i mean i did but even then, it feels diffrent now than when i last played it with full gore.
idk, no actual updates in a while tho
release never thanks for asking
give it long enough and they will create half sword early release fan edition
Do you guys think it'll get delayed again?
I'm so confident about the jan - mar release that i will not crush my balls with a rock cause I'm not insane enough
i hope the actual game will be BALL CRUSHING
accidentally got a fire fit on the abyss
Fr
Crazy exchange
hidden secrets in half sword part 6
if you start killing willies in the abyss, comonner boss will eventually show up to defend his home
Man im sleepy
can anyone borrow me 20 bucs steam rq my fav games discount ended ;-;
Im sure no one will give ye 20 bucks nowadays
try to work for it
asking is better than nothing
Go ahead and try
work yer ass off and the price to get it is real
but try asking first
maybe someone will give you 20 bucks, although that’s rare
Why is this a new meme i dont get it
Me either
Its from a video bout GTA 5 easter eggs and franklin defending his home
I get it, but I'm going to gatekeep the explanation since if you explain a meme, all of what made it funny (Or the lack there of) will suddenly disappear.
Why is this FUNNY
Im too old now
uncle
some kid said it
Anti memes becoming the new meta for memes is poetic
insane
bro
the big 6 and 7 is not as funny as franklin defending his home
fuck
embed fail
Lmao, genuinely trying to hold back laughter🤣 🤣 😹 😹

simple but very effective
Damn that is accurate
I got the buckler to stay out forward without holding the RMB somehow a couple of times by tapping it 2 or 3 times and releasing it, and then was able to use the sword normally while being protected by the buckler without it going around, but i can't get it working consistently for some reason.
Does anyone know about this? Having buckler out in stab mode while swinging sword in normal mode is infinitely more useful then normal controls where buckler and sword move together wherever i swing, and if i can do that consistently, i might start using the buckler, please tell me if you know how that works
guys release is soon
Yeah it's yesterday

I know this is random but I'm finally back my discord is back Let's go I'm so happy
any info on the release date?
dawg i want this game to be online
In 1-84 days, that's all we know. No news since the delay
like
Sometime within the next 3 months
Bro I finish school in a 100 days 😭
sooo that means we can play duels with our friends
right?
what is willies diet
Uhh... Congrats?
Thanks
i finished the game how can i play it from a new run from the beginning
Gotcha
thx
i love how similar gameplay of this game and people playground sound, put this audio over a ppg clip and i'd believe that was where it was from lol
wtf am i playing lmao, this game is soo good.
i wish i could watch my guy die in gruesome fashion, or some sort of kill came would be amazing lol. but i plan to punch and thrash my way up the laddr a bit today. 10/10 banger of a game.
if they dont release the game in 32 seconds im gonna have to resort to violence on the homeless man sleeping on my porch
embediddy failt
no way john halfsword beggar class irl
so if i die mid tournament, that abyss thing is like a gulag? or what happens?
im gonna stab him in the ribs with a kitchen knife every milisecond this message caused me anguish
One message removed from a suspended account.
half the sword!
what he said
sorta like a 'redemption' thing. basically it's the old demo but repurposed into the gulag, it can be accessed normally too, it's like a roguelike version of half sword and in the tournament if you die you have to get up to the last boss you beat in the tournament to come back, and if you die well uhh
you restart
ahh, okay cool. cheers. i never played that till yesterday. i only just found this recently on itch lol.
didnt know it existed on itch ngl, i saw things like the ultrakill demo on there but never this
yeah it was just longsword fights iirc.
longsword fights and fist fights are the best ones imo
definately the most fun, especially longsword ones if you crank the dmg down
i have yet to try them all, but i do agree that long swords with less armour is my fave so far
3 quick bouts
Amyone have any idea as to why I run out of VRAM every time I complete the abyss? I have plenty but as soon as I finish the last boss, I just crash and it says I've run out of VRAM...
the little knomes in your pc are probably not working hard enough
For reference, I've finished gauntlet 3 times and this is the first time it's started happening
start blowing geekbar fumes directly into your pc to make them geek out
use Dx11(in the game settings) if ur not, seems to work better for most
I really wish you could do this unmodded
DX11 was the way to go, thanks man. I haven't touched this game in nearly a year and it's surprising to see how little has been done.
what're you doing that needs mods?
the neck break
ah. Also, where does one get these mods? Nexus? or is it something a bit more special since it's just a tech demo?
I believe what I'm using is now defunct, but there are a couple of trainers on nexus.
They are almost ready to go into early access. They probably haven't worked on the demo at all.
goddamn, I pinned this poor guy to the damn wall
me when early access never releases to spite everyone
i've created schrödinger’s weapon or something
(please god)
i can kill myself with my own weapon now
maybe the real early access was the friends we made along the way
Let reason rulen where rage might reign
they've been working on early access which is supposed to come out relatively soon
threw a sick overhead, broke the guy's legs and then got sent into the fence head-first by god himself
was testing out how whether bodyshot knockouts even exist
found out that you can wear Willie's legs out pretty fast but that's about it
not sure if hitting the stomach or sides do anything
I do remember that hitting them on the back might result in dying though
i think hitting the body will stun them
Modded?
haven't installed any mods ever
any clean hit in general does result in a stun, ye
It's always good for interrputing
oof, both that guys legs broke from one swing, the impact shattered the first and a bad landing broke the other.
that would be extremely painful
do you have your npc damage to max or something
slightly below average actually
oh wow
yeah the billhook is just insanely strong
Billhook just has a ton of leverage
i'd try that but im currently killing myself with my own weapon
and legs often get broken when they're twisted during a landing too, I always see it happen when my opponents fall near fences and their legs catch on the posts
though it's fairly rare
looking at the video again, I think his right knee was already damaged, and he smacked it against the floor twice trying to stand up again which is what caused the break
im gonna try the billhook
it's very good if you can gauge your distance well
otherwise it's basically just a wooden pole
but a direct hit from the hook can knock a guy in an armet out in 1 hit
sometimes outright kill them
i immediatly cut some guys brains open
yeah it can sometimes punch right through helmets, I think that's a physics bug
when game realese 🙁
i got it in a guys leg and now they're spinning
between now and like saint patricks day
i think they said q1 of 2026
i cant wait to pierce a willie with a crossbow bolt
what's even the change between Epic graphics and Cinematic?
I go from 120FPS to 40-50FPS and I can't point out any changes other then marginally different shadows.
the brave stand mode is my favorite
you are correct
nothing really i think its gonna get removed with the update
The only time I ever lag is on the buhurt game mode
that would make sense
Epic graphics are already phenomenal enough
I don't think i've ever pulled above 60 fps on buhurt
Glad it's not just me. I have to go to medium graphics for buhurt, high on everything else is fine for the most part tho.
why does your game look so much better then mine what is this
DX12 probably
the shadows on dx12 look better
Only if you can run it
I also just used the halfsword to push a man's sword away, then stab him in the throat. Peak.
Best feeling ever
getting good with Halfswording is peak gameplay
between actually grappling enemies onto the floor to stabbing through visors it just feels good.
I'ev gotten good with the halfsword and it's honestly the best weapon imo. At least it's the most versatile.
yup
pommel for lil head taps
precise stabs, grapples, slashes, easy to block most slashes, it's just great
I've got one move I use on halberd people often, it hits their head twice and disarms them.
can u sweep them off their feet with a polearm tho
Yes. But it is very very difficult.
honestly probably, but i've never done it
they have freakishly good balance in this game
true
like, i'll have a guy in full plate armor bent backwards at a 45* angle and he just
doesnt fall
i heard it used to be easier
they changed the balance not too long ago
they did change the balance
I've had a mfer standing like michael jackson doing a moon walk, and the dude was sprinting.
Pretty sure you fought the king of pop
if half of humanity had half the balance of this AI....jesus.
they either fall over immediately or they can stand up from a 90 degree angle
RIGHT?
it did but some people had a skill issue and kept complaining so the devs made it harder to fall for both player and npc
honestly 🤣
only things left with balance imo is trying to pick up something on the floor
half the time my willy flops over
Honestly, my only real "complaint" after playing for a while is the stabbing
Yeah that's fair
delayed death
I hate stabbing with anything but the dagger and sword
It's only because it's so wobbly and inconsistent. I call it weak wrists.
half the time I use spears I just beat the guy to death with the stick
my issue is that you thrust at an angle
I've hit people with 0 armor in the chest with the spear, straight forward, and it just...glanced off his chest.
i found a bug that, atleast from what i've found, only harms you, but its very funny and easy to pull off
stabbing with the daggers is pretty easy
However (with swords) it's easier if you double click lmb and then any time you press ALT after it you'll stab from whatever position you're in, for the remainder of that fight.
I hate this too, but I've learned to thrust straight. THe issue for me is when it registers as a pierce or a bounce.
2 handed weapons can stab with precision without using ALT
I did not know this. Thank you.
:)
feels good stabbing a guy in the armpit
this is what makes halberd so good imo.
have you ever considered you're just better then me?
Once you get used to how the halberd is weirder than the other weapons, it's easy.
The 2 handed stab is also pretty much instant
Overhead from right to left, then level it out and push the spike against them.
i use the guillotine on a stick for 90% of my polearm time
idk how you people play in first person
press V
Idk what this is
how do you even know whats going on
Just feel the weapon
I know how to swap to it, idk how you guys use that cursed view.
gimmie a sec
Also, now I've learned more about the game....shield people are just easy targets if not in full plate.
i know im just messing with ya
isn't that just halberd but with axe and poke instead of hammer?
bardiche
guillotine on a stick
I don't like the bardiche.
Called a poleaxae
you just swing at them
armored or not they are dead
I've had the AI use it on me, I know they aren't using it the best or even well, but still. The range on it.
i love it because it's hilarious
it's so incredibly heavy at the tip
It's an easy weapon for your enemy to control.
dont let them control it then
you can rmb to pull it closer if you need more control
I do irl martial arts, so I've been trying to apply what I've learned irl to this game, so I've been stealing mfers weapons 🤣
I'm not worried about the ai controlling it, but I don't wanna use it myself because I find it so easy to counter.
it is a great joy of mine to disarm polearms and such
that's fair
Fork can easily thrust as well
I did hema, and trying to apply the stuff i did isn't easy
I love disarming people in general. Yesterday I gave a mfer the count dooku treatment.
I just enjoy it because it's a great joy for me to slam a hunk of metal into someones side
I did karate and a bit of jiu-jitsu.
That's halberd for me.
the little circle around their sword and cut off their hand thing?
Top 5 favorite things to do with a sword
I did spear under the fiore learning system, i was decent i think enough at it.
Yes, lol. I was playing on commoner, and caught the enemy's sword in my crossguard, did the circle on the right side, removed both his hands.
pitchfork my beloved
I've only ever gotten one 😭
If I did HEMA I'd be using a halberd or longsword.
The pitchfork does absurd damage whether it's a thrust or a slap
I've been learning how to manipulate the weapons how I want it too.
I've learned some medieval swordsmanship from europe and japan.
Fiore system is universal for all polearms, so it's good to learn it off of like manuals and hema training pdfs
thank you.
Ah, I see. I never did anything with anything besides swords and axes.
it's so pretty now
I'm an irl blacksmith too, and once I get the tools I'll smith myself another tomahawk and make a target to practice.
We need more forkers
dx12 may be unstable depending on your system so if the game keeps crashing switch back to dx11
will do :)
Last time I did axe throwing, I was hitting the bullseye everytime, and actually stuck an axe in the previous axe I threw's handle.
I want to get a sallet made with my coat of arms crest engraved onto it, but i am looking at a grand for something that i don't even do anymore
bro got deadeye
peak skill
I'm going to make the stuff I need to make my own armor.
I love axe throwing bro. Shit is peak.
Is this mf medieval john wick
does dx12 make the blood look better
I do some archery too, but no where near as good at it.
Jiu jitsu, karate, axe throwing
black smithing, dabbles in european and japanese swords
WHO ARE YOU TRAINING FOR
I've thrown a few javelins too.
What armor you trying to make?
It make everything look better
i dont think so but i think it makes the game somewhat more vibrant or something so it kinda looks better but not really?
It's not as fun, and it's hard as fuck. I wanna try an atlatl though.
i wanna throw a pilum some day
I never threw a javelin, a spear yes
I threw one actually recently
plate. I've made chainmail. somewhat.
Send it to #references♥_1450-1470
I prefer my axes.
Love to see
is blacksmithing expensive? I want to get into it eventually
I made it before I left for college, even though I'm back home, no idea where it is.
Depends.
All hobbies expensive depending on how you go about it
I've been a hobo for almost a year now, and never used the money from my last job to get more stuff to forge, so I can't say for sure and it depends heavily on the area and how much of it you want "pristine".
My entire setup rn cost only $200, and it was all from the forge (which my teacher made me himself)
W teacher
Can you forge henry's father's sword
i'd say so yeah\
It uses an old blower from the 1800s he scavenged, and I use a railroad tie as my anvil. I found an old sawhorse and worked on it to make a forge and tool stand, as well as a table.
oh damn
that's resourceful
You also asked what I'm training for.
Forge my coat of arms from pure iron, and just like any commission I'll pay you half of what you actually estimated
I was replying to someone
Nothing really, but if I could, I'd make my own armor, some throwing axes, and a good sword, and go hunt wolves with my hands.
Sounds like what my dad did tf
yes
Medieval passtimes
I do have the stuff to make a smelter, and I know how to refine the clay from dirt. I could probably make that.
For me, it's more about respect of nature.
i gotta try it then
That would be goated, I would pay you for that unironically
I don't think I'll ever hunt with a firearm.
some devices may not be able to run it
Main two issues are getting myself to do it, and I doubt my smelter can melt iron down.
but Dx12 (from my limited experience) makes the game's lighting like, three times better
I could make an aluminum copper alloy though.
i mean im still gonna try it, its probably going to blow up my tiny little pc but thats fiiiiiine
Aluminum keeps off oxidzation, copper gives it a strong shape and cheaply fills it out.
THE REFLECTIONS OH MY GOOD HEAVENS
