was it bro?

[safe loom]

I'm meaning by grabbing the NECK and giving it a little crush

[mystic cloud]

wait how do choke

[celest river]

yes

[summer cloud]

No, EA

[safe loom]

Peak honestly

[celest river]

press e on someones mouth

[worldly girder]

My likelihood of doing so would not be significantly swayed by him calling me a hedge born varlet three times

[safe loom]

press something against their neck

[celest river]

no

[warm garden]

well i dont surrender when my opponent taunts soooooo

[safe loom]

yeah?

[wet zealot]

shocking

[celest river]

maybe actually

[serene schooner]

i had honestly always figured they'd go the route of taunting provoking an attack

[celest river]

i just havent tried that

[safe loom]

I hold poleaxes against people's necks all the time and they go limp

[tall dagger]

@summer cloud thoughts? technique needs some work

[safe loom]

dude, it's so fucking awesome

[frozen radish]

I consider you both to have large egos that would instantly wear off if someone insulted you with a blade or hunk of metal above you ready to swing whilst you value your life and can barely get up due to the amount of armor you are wearing

[agile spoke]

If someone walked up to me in full armor irl, I'd just move at swift walk away from them

[wet zealot]

it looks like you're fighting yourself

[serene schooner]

doing that hand switch thing is one of my favorites

[summer cloud]

Why shocking?

[safe loom]

once they go all limp and tired, you and swing your poleaxe and throw them to the ground like somehting outta forhonor

[tall dagger]

definitely am 🤣

[static heron]

thank god we dont have multiplayer

[agile spoke]

Push em over and watch em roll around

[true zealot]

im a big boy.

[worldly girder]

Dude I'm not saying wouldn't surrender, I'm saying whether or not I would surrender would not be affected by being taunted lol

[static heron]

looks crazy

[celest river]

have all of the professional swordsmen and the people who kick all turned into polearm/polaxe fiends

[serene coyote]

I want to duel my friend so we need

[tall dagger]

id get smoked because i cant spin kick anymore 🙁

[static heron]

nice!

[frozen radish]

I feel like its the principle of the thing

[wet zealot]

items are still able to fling randomly its so cartoony looking

[shut vortex]

Are any of the bugs fixed I’ve been waiting to buy it so will they get fixed in a day or something

[warm garden]

enemies already surrender when you put a blade to their neck right?

[celest river]

probably just slightly dissapated

[wet zealot]

just check #1465774955009540257 bro

[celest river]

not fixed

[serene schooner]

i got sent to deal with 106 pissed off souls today and my primary weapon immediately got swallowed into the ground

[static heron]

im habing a great time with the game now

[worldly girder]

Like yeah I'm an untrained fighter who doesnt want my head bashed in of course I'll surrender, but i doubt a braver and more skilled person is going to behave the exact same way just because they were called an oaf

[cold lance]

anyone know how to equip spaulding lol

[true zealot]

how do you fight this realistically

[tall dagger]

get it before sale ends. its playable and they've been pushing out alot of patches

[serene coyote]

Needle

[celest river]

what the fuck

[frozen radish]

relax your throat and make eye contact

[celest river]

this better be modding bro

[carmine wasp]

no way thats real bro

[shut vortex]

So is anybody having problems with playing on the 4090 and 9800x3d bro because I heard there are problems

[true zealot]

its real bro

[warm garden]

wait for the steroids to kill him

[carmine wasp]

Thats something imma have to fight eventually

nbs ?

[celest river]

[tall dagger]

[agile spoke]

Ankle pick. What's he gonna do bout that

[true zealot]

This.

[true zealot]

[carmine wasp]

[celest river]

https://tenor.com/view/flightreacts-ftc-flight-mortified-disgusted-gif-4299981466405063059

[tall dagger]

[true zealot]

i can send you the gameprogress.sav if you want to be a big boy

[warm garden]

[shut vortex]

[celest river]

https://tenor.com/view/yummy-tongue-flight-flight-reacts-excited-gif-17057509

[distant patrol]

does anyone know if the abyss is endless

[celest river]

because i CAN

[shut vortex]

Guys I’m sorry but this game is too hard I’ve been playing for 3 hours bro and I still haven’t mastered it

[safe loom]

paper cut.

[safe loom]

keep trying vro, it's so fucking worth it

[true zealot]

check dms

[agile spoke]

I still suck after 200 in the demo

[shut vortex]

Why it’s not even pvp

[safe loom]

????

[distant patrol]

2325 in the abyss and no end in sight 😭

[shut vortex]

Like how is it worth it there’s no competition

[mystic cloud]

You've been playing for 3 hours what type of skit are you trying to direct

[safe loom]

BLOODSHED.

[warm karma]

im still stuck in peasent🥀

[shut vortex]

What do you mean

[shut vortex]

What the heck are you talking about

[safe loom]

cut. them. down.

[mystic cloud]

.

[carmine wasp]

Are they going to fix the slums being so laggy ?

My pc is really good but the shit is so laggy in the slums

[safe loom]

You do it for the thrill of bashing someones skull in with a pole axe

[safe loom]

it's laggy for all of us

[celest river]

you updated to hotfix 3

[safe loom]

honestly the slums need a bit of a rework

[carmine wasp]

Probably not how do i do this

[shut vortex]

So if I can get good at a game after 3k hours, why can’t I get good at half sword in 3

[safe loom]

are yall seeing ts?

[celest river]

somebody tell the devs at halfsword to make the background 2d

[agile spoke]

It's because they designed a fully textured open world for a 40ft playable area for some reason

[celest river]

you got it on steam?

[mystic cloud]

Why tell a group of people you're waiting to buy a game, that you've had for 3 hours weirdo

[carmine wasp]

yuh

[carmine wasp]

lol

[native elm]

no. the slums need to be completely deleted and rebuilt from the ground up,.

[shut vortex]

Demo bruh 😭😭😭

[celest river]

should've auto updated but check in the updates tab

[safe loom]

I NEED the cliffs to still be there though

I love cliffs

[shut vortex]

I mean I’m just saying that I thought other games were more difficult

[static heron]

i got the crossbow out of the wood map

is there any way to get bolts:

[safe loom]

what "other games"

[agile spoke]

I got wood when I found the crossbow

[safe loom]

find the quiver

[naive canopy]

how do muscles work in the EA release? How can I weild heavier weapons?

[serene schooner]

quivers spawn around that area too

[static heron]

damn

[shut vortex]

I’m scared if I say their names I’ll get banned brcsuse this is halfsword chat

[safe loom]

sparring

[safe loom]

you're gonna be fine gng

[shut vortex]

Well I have 3k hours on dbd and I’m good at that

[keen cloud]

what is the max mass you can get by working out?

[agile spoke]

Very similar game honestly

[safe loom]

that's your first problem. comparing dbd to HS

[carmine wasp]

how i see the updated tab where that at ?

[naive canopy]

thanks, I haven't tried sparring yet

[celest river]

i honestly dk

[soft osprey]

grow muscle by using stamina. swinging weapons, wearing heavy armor, running around, as long as youre using stamina youre contributing towards strength growth. the stronger you are the easier it is to handle heavier/longer weapons and hit harder with them

[shut vortex]

So I just need to get good

[slate copper]

are half sword gonna do mutilplayer? i want to play with friends

[safe loom]

be REALLY tall and wear heavy armor

[true zealot]

what yall doin against this if youre locked in a cellar

[safe loom]

Yes vro

[mystic cloud]

Blow out the candles

[safe loom]

paper cut

[carmine wasp]

ight its cool imma js avoid the slums they prolly gonna delete that map or sm shit

[keen cloud]

im at 90 rn and wondering if i can go higher?

[safe loom]

i'm at 93

[agile spoke]

What's the best way to grind it? Just swing in sparring until you fall over and repeat?

[celest river]

beyond commoner its really easy to

[serene schooner]

i'm at 92. i assume your initial height also influences max weight

[safe loom]

I lowkey wanna play on slums

those cliffs are fun to just CRUNCH people

[serene schooner]

i did notice slums does perform noticeably better

[safe loom]

although the ally is a close second.

[soft osprey]

i would literally just play the game and go through the tiers. in theory you could just go to training but that sounds boring to me lol

[soft osprey]

93 is the natural max limit

[silver arch]

Why couldn't I loot the baron?

[serene schooner]

sometimes i'd just wiggle around a polearm until i was about to fall over

[agile spoke]

Yeah but I want to get yolked yolked lmao

[serene coyote]

Because

Work for it

[soft osprey]

you get one piece of his armor every lord tournament you win

[serene coyote]

Begger

[summer cloud]

Some good swings, particularly the one at 0:00, good power. I would avoid repetitive strikes like at 0:17. If you swing from one direction too long, your opponents will inevitably hit you where you're open.

[safe loom]

bro the fact that ANIMALS are gonna be added

imagine throwing hands with wolves or a lion

[worldly girder]

You cant manually take his armor. You get one piece of it per baron defeat. You can freely take his weapons though

[safe loom]

fuck, a DRAGON

[silver arch]

oh I see, I didn't know lol

[serene schooner]

i just immediately pictured someone beating someone else to death with a chicken

[formal lichen]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/m35d5WQCGdkwfAFSD?invite=cr-MSw5cWssNjI4ODIwNQ&v=30
teamwork makes the dream work

[tall dagger]

was talking more the build itself. mobility compared to force

[safe loom]

I can say something VERY not good.

related to this

[naive canopy]

does having heavier character weight make me stronger or weaker?

would I want a heavier character to hold heavier weapons?

[safe loom]

STRONGER.

[tall dagger]

this dummy took himself out

[formal lichen]

stronger, it's muscle mass

[summer cloud]

Other than that I would say, try to get a flow going. You always want to maintain your momentum

[naive canopy]

heck yeah

[safe loom]

jesus that fov

[agile spoke]

Depends on diet and exercise. Carbs and protein

[safe loom]

I love it when my screen turns BLACK at the start of a round

[mystic cloud]

When does that cloak unlock in the shop

[serene schooner]

i think you have to steal it off someone

[naive canopy]

does sparring actually make my character stronger? I don't see anything that says that

it just seems like practice

[tall dagger]

idk if it does. you can pull them off of willies at man at arms and higher

[mystic cloud]

how do you take someone's armor off? I've been taking weapons for hundreds of hours in demo and ea

[formal lichen]

why did the second log drop??
heres my best log trap use just for the sake of it https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/m32PLz8WSt5NSACSr?invite=cr-MSxtelQsNjI4ODIwNQ&v=6

[serene schooner]

grab them and hold e

[tall dagger]

the first log swung up and touched it

[mystic cloud]

fucking based thank you guys

[tall dagger]

that was sick lol

[summer cloud]

Ah, I see. Well that's hard to gauge from video. As long as you can maintain control, don't hit the speed cap, and can maintain your momentum, you're good on handling. For damage, just see how big of a spark you can get from the dummy helmet.

[naive canopy]

does anyone know how to make their character stronger?

[summer cloud]

Shake it, baby

[formal lichen]

initially i was trying to hit him in the head before i realized i could pull the lever with my weapon and i had a neuron activation
heres another log trap moment (i love these so much)
https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/m2WmLt87Lk1VQLeR_?invite=cr-MSxnRDEsNjI4ODIwNQ&v=8

[naive canopy]

I'm so close to review bombing this game lmao

all the defenders say you need a stronger character to hold heavier weapons

[timid estuary]

burn out stamina

[naive canopy]

and nobody knows how to make their character stronger

[tall dagger]

youch!

[formal lichen]

use stamina more, wear heavy armor and use heavy weapons

[naive canopy]

thanks

[formal lichen]

and just to finish it out, heres my first ever log trap use https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/m2wwuWE3UfriMtfgU?invite=cr-MSxVZmQsNjI4ODIwNQ&v=10

[teal mural]

Are we meant to find more bolts or buy them or something? I had the quiver but it only had one bolt in it and after I used it it was just gone

[summer cloud]

You get stronger by swinging weapons

[safe loom]

Uhhh

[naive canopy]

is there anywhere where I can check my current stamina and strength?

[safe loom]

good question

[naive canopy]

or is it an invisible buff

[safe loom]

I hate the crossbow ngl

[safe loom]

Uhhh good question

there's a bar somewhere

[naive canopy]

lol

[summer cloud]

The line under your weight

It's a progress bar

[safe loom]

oh shit really?

[summer cloud]

Yeah

[safe loom]

I'm max then

[static heron]

i got the quiver but it doesnt come out of the map unfortunately

[safe loom]

god RIOTS ARE SO FUN

[summer cloud]

It should still be on your back

[naive canopy]

omg i see it

[safe loom]

I love feeling like a juggernaut.

[summer cloud]

You can't remove it

[naive canopy]

burn stamina to grow muscles

[static heron]

so its there forever

[summer cloud]

Until you use the bolt, or die

[tall dagger]

keeping that momentum is definitely difficult

[timid estuary]

What rank are you btw

[mystic cloud]

To whoever told me about taking cloaks - I have the coveted item and appreciate it

[minor wigeon]

i love the ice pick hammer combo

[static heron]

riot in full armor is the best mode ever.

[summer cloud]

Yeah but that little pause looked cool tho

[tall dagger]

if found the black one but ive yet to find a red one 💔

[formal lichen]

bro is playing jedi fallen order instead of using a norm weapon 😭

[summer cloud]

Not sure why he didn't die, that was a hard hit

[static heron]

where can i find them 👀

[summer cloud]

I've had willies drop at much lighter taps

[mystic cloud]

stealing them from other willies

[winged anchor]

anyone know if baron drops his shoes? or not currently

[kind mica]

2 years in waiting for just to die from slipping 0n nothing nice

[static heron]

but like, what level willies

[frozen radish]

If that little black bar at the bottom is all the way to the right does that mean I'm max strength?

[summer cloud]

There's definitely inconsistency to how strong your swings need to be lol

[teal mural]

Ye

[tall dagger]

anything but use a sword

[mystic cloud]

Man @ arms

[static heron]

thank you

[frozen radish]

what the FUCK

[tall dagger]

the fuck indeed

[kind mica]

at least the demo is more enjoyable than the base game

[summer cloud]

disagree

[mystic cloud]

Only if you have AMD imo

[tall dagger]

this was playtest. 100 times more enjoyable

[mystic cloud]

other than that if you h8 progression get better at the game

[magic schooner]

AMD cards or CPU?

I use an AMD CPU and I'm fine

[distant patrol]

i think i hopefully got the abyss wr

[mystic cloud]

amd gpu is having a lot of reported fucky wuckies

[kind mica]

no its the bugs that ruined it and abyss

[bold pendant]

I'm on a laptop. No early access for me. ;-;

[mystic cloud]

stop dying and abyss isn't a problem

[agile spoke]

Tbf game was wonky on 40 series until the fixes they pushed

[timid estuary]

my retribution bugged so i just met him lmao

[tall dagger]

the zombies are so fun on abyss.

[mystic cloud]

they're chompy as fuuug

[distant patrol]

Im genuinely hoping nobody else has seriously tried free abyss so i can say I got WR

[tall dagger]

i like to stomp em out while they try to nibble on my feet

[kind mica]

untill they grab you its

[wicked depot]

Abyss was cool though before zombies is the point. Its like spoilance but with real weapons and you personally get to fight every oponent

[twilit moss]

Why can I only forge a mass ?

[summer cloud]

Gamers get so mad at the most miniscule of changes

[bold pendant]

I hope we get modding support for this, eventually. I think it would be wild to fight on a moving caravan or boat or something.

[tall dagger]

gotta unlock the rest

[bold pendant]

Throw your opponent into the sea.

[cold lance]

anyone know why the game won't let you attach spaulders?

[mystic cloud]

I get zombies isn't for everyone - pay em off and manage economy if you think the fighting pits are fun enough that's your call

[twilit moss]

Can you say me how ?

Ranking up ?

[unreal oasis]

How come settings like Frame Generation and other things get disabled every time you start up the game and the only way to fix it is by pausing and going to settings?

[tall dagger]

play through progression

[brave elbow]

why isnt my game running well, ive never played it before

[wicked depot]

Someone needs to do Halfsword but with a custom game engine fr

[twilit moss]

Ok

[tall dagger]

damn the white looks really nice too

[minor wigeon]

I love the ice pick

[winged anchor]

your prolly have chains attatched to your doublet or jack

[wheat leaf]

im torn between white and brown, both are good

[slim oar]

How do you do multiplayer half sword?

[safe loom]

All i'm saying is we should've gotten a proper lift by throat NECK CRUNCH

[slim oar]

I've got remote play set up

[kind mica]

i would not reconmend that

[slim oar]

multiplayer?

[frozen radish]

Are cloaks worth grabbing or is it just drip

[kind mica]

fuck ya unless you want to crash

[brave elbow]

does anyone know why my game lags alot eventhough my display settings are all low

[slim oar]

How do I give my friend controller access

[winged anchor]

worth for drip

[static heron]

im still looking for one

[slim oar]

I'd like to try anyway

[safe loom]

they kinda divert the weapon

[wheat leaf]

man, why did devs have to add such a perfect dagger yet botch every aspect of its usage

[safe loom]

wtf are you WEARING

[wheat leaf]

DRIP

[safe loom]

is there a way to go into the infinite abyss with your current gear

[safe loom]

how

why are you enemies so

STUPID

[wheat leaf]

insure all your gear, then apply it in freeplay and then go to abyss

[safe loom]

oh shit fr

will I fight the unarmored dudes?

[wheat leaf]

huh?

oh the zombies?

[safe loom]

yeah

lowkey don't wanna fight them armored

[kind mica]

ya not fun when they bite and ruin a whole run

[meager sorrel]

how come when a zombie bites u one time your character wines on the ground like a little bitch but when u get smacked full force with a maul in the chest u can shake it off

[true zealot]

he wants to tell me a secret

[kind mica]

no your cooked if one bites you

[true zealot]

i didnt like his secret.

[meager sorrel]

yeah its like over its so stupid

[static heron]

how did you make cyllian murphy

[pliant crest]

You cannot tell me that this shit is not a precursor to the swiss army knife.

[misty echo]

Why are you 10 feet tall

[wheat leaf]

i think they get armored eventually but you get more time unarmored in freeplay abyss i think

[meager sorrel]

Biting would be fine if it didnt dehabilitate your entire character

[frozen radish]

Flail better

[kind mica]

tried saying that but its some how a skill issue

[meager sorrel]

they what......

[true zealot]

ten toes down getting to straight bidniss

[pliant crest]

And?

[meager sorrel]

the zombies get armored.....?

[frozen radish]

I love my flail.

[wheat leaf]

yeah?

[meager sorrel]

Ima crash out bro

[wheat leaf]

when you play abyss exclusively, not when you fight them in abyss after dying in gauntlet

i think

[kind mica]

its so aids not killing someone in the game

[meager sorrel]

my guy got bit 3 times in the arm and theres a pool off blood

[kind mica]

they punish you now for killing people

[unreal mirage]

you fellas know which setting is the most impactful one to performance?

[safe loom]

or kill you near instantly

[patent comet]

any fix for fatal error crash happens to me every 5 rounds

[wheat leaf]

they dont punish you, they just give you more to live for, eh?

[true zealot]

who yall got yo money on

[kind mica]

i got bit in the neck and instantly killed me and ruined my peasant run

[kind mica]

no i like to kill why make it like that

[meager sorrel]

So frusterating my whole run ended because a zombie chewed on my hand

[warm void]

Why is he kinda buff?

[safe loom]

you lied

I spawned in naked

[static heron]

BRO WHERE DO I FIND CAPES

ITS IMPOSSIBLE LMAO

[kind mica]

why believe in that

[safe loom]

wdym

[kind mica]

free mode with armor idk what you expect

[muted jay]

anyone know how to take armor off of an npc?

[wheat leaf]

oh word, fuck if i know i aint even played abyss yet

i got a crisp 100+ souls waiting for me rn

[true zealot]

Oh Lord.

[kind mica]

[safe loom]

W H A T

THEN WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME 😭

[mystic cloud]

hit q to hold them, then hold them with e and hold e to pull off bit by bit

[kind mica]

ya good luck and dont let them get close or its over

[modest pebble]

this is true, but then also you get ever so slightly brushed and you die, im not sure if thats just me but yknow

[wheat leaf]

i was just trying to be helpful man

[cold lance]

ya know I tried that I took em off and still can't put on the spaulders

[mystic cloud]

need arming doublet

[wild vault]

yo ive been sorta out of the loop, hows the early access going?

[kind mica]

oh nah i been losing my arms and legs left and right every time i get a good start going

[modest pebble]

i dont even mmean in the abyss, my character is both the most durable creature and the most fragile being to ever exist

[cold lance]

so it has to be an arming doublet I'll try that

[wheat leaf]

theres so much potential for doing judo/wrestling techniques in ea opposed to demo, something just feels so off abt it tho

[pliant crest]

sword. price is 291.

[kind mica]

thats what i mean tho

[meager sorrel]

No u right

[pliant crest]

Gonna fuck some people up with this sword.

[modest pebble]

its insane lol

[wheat leaf]

[pliant crest]

Fr,

[wheat leaf]

fr fr

[pliant crest]

I can swing it relatively fine

[timid estuary]

What do i do with this money

[safe loom]

it's HOW HEAVY

[pliant crest]

2.51 kg

[wheat leaf]

oh nvm i got the conversions messed up in my head, its only 5 pound sword

[kind mica]

i like halfsword they just need to tweak with the zombies and really not punish you for killing people

[wheat leaf]

i aint even use imperial idk why i needed pounds

[safe loom]

crush skulls

[mystic cloud]

Gray tabbard goes so hard

or green

[kind mica]

i would say punish if the player keeps killing people for giving up

[true zealot]

LOGICALLY what do you do here

[mystic cloud]

Blow out the candles

[true zealot]

i said logically not realistically

[mystic cloud]

Oh, then I twist his nipples

duh

[pliant magnet]

how do I build muscle, i keep losing weight 😭

[mystic cloud]

beat ass

wish me luck, lord tourney time

[frozen radish]

How do I take a stashed weapon off of a man

[true zealot]

[mystic cloud]

[agile spoke]

We ever getting rapiers?

[wild ledge]

splitscreen is already in the game

I've messed with it, it's peak but there's no lock-on

[true zealot]

he accidentally grabbed my throat and my character choked for 0.5 seconds so ive been strangling him for the past minute or two

[mystic cloud]

[frozen radish]

What are the best stats for a two-handed sword?

[clear yoke]

[pliant magnet]

[stable goblet]

Steal his pants off

[pliant crest]

[pliant crest]

So, as a soldier tier, I now almost have full plate armor, just need leggies.

[stable goblet]

Now slap that butt

[glacial meteor]

this performance update was crazy

im rocking 320 fps on low settings dx12

[stable goblet]

Yup the game is getting better every day to say the least

[opal moth]

What were you getting before?

[glacial meteor]

my weight bugged

[static heron]

i also want to post my drip, but im nto allowed pictures in this channel

[opal moth]

Level up

[static heron]

black cape goes insanely hard

[glacial meteor]

I just upgraded from a 4060 so idrk but On the 4060 i was rocking like 80 low settings with frame gen and ultra performance dlss now im rocking 5060ti 16gb getting 320 on low graphics no dlss

[golden moss]

You can grab enemies by the hip or leg and it's the same as taking off their armour. Be careful though and hold the hip above the ground a decent bit, because if the weapon is clipping through the ground when it's released, it'll fall right through the map.

[glacial meteor]

my weight was bugged im at max weight

[opal moth]

Dayum

[glacial meteor]

fucking buford the beast

[nimble sleet]

why is the undead's bite attack one hit ko most of the time

[chilly marsh]

highfleet or halfsword guys, I can't spend to much money

[glacial meteor]

just vital organs

[glacial meteor]

ur neck and like body will insta kill

[nimble sleet]

yeah they're getting me on the head or neck most of the time

[glacial meteor]

legs and arms will like temporarily cripple u

[agile spoke]

Guy bit my nose off smh

[glacial meteor]

u just gotta play super evasive get distance and a long weapon

[mighty lichen]

Kettle helmet or Barbute..

[stable goblet]

Get some armor around neck and head that will do against revenants

[nimble sleet]

they'll literally make out with you til you're dead

[chilly marsh]

highfleet sale ended...

halfsword it is

[safe loom]

DUDE

[nimble sleet]

yee kinda difficult

[golden moss]

The zombies scared the shit out of me, not gonna lie. I killed them a few times and figured they were weak, one sneak attacked me and ripped my jugular out with their teeth. That was actually the first time my character died.

[nimble sleet]

esp when they sidestep your polearm or candelabra

[frail veldt]

i just had a dude with a flail hit me with a jumping overhead since when did they do THAT shit

[safe loom]

WHY IS IT WHENEVER I STAB SOMEONE WITH A SWORD, THE GAME TREATS IT LIKE A FUCKING RICHOCHET

[opal moth]

One literally ate my ass bro

[golden moss]

I swear to god the AI is learning, they aren't falling for the same tricks they used to.

[wheat leaf]

shpinny shwings

[safe loom]

BUT WHEN SOME BUFF 7 FOOT DREAD HEAD STABS ME WITH THE TIP OF A FUCKING AXE, I GET CHAPPED IN HALF.

[frail veldt]

they started fucking feinting my ass bro the willies are adapting

[safe loom]

slimed

OMFG

SOUND WARNING GNG 😭

it is NOT that serious

[nimble sleet]

that's some star wars shit

[timid estuary]

Full baron set

[wheat leaf]

shit actually made me jump my headphones were almost maxed

[safe loom]

dead silence and then a scream from fucking hell

[opal moth]

Get mods and become the 7 foot dreadhead

[safe loom]

IT STILL DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER

THIS SWORD

DOES NOT PIERCE

[wheat leaf]

they prob got mail on, mail beats all

[safe loom]

it is

bare

ass

skin

[humble quest]

Good afternoon chat, how does the game run with optiscaler?

[nimble sleet]

https://klipy.com/gifs/lal-9KL

[frail veldt]

you might be swinging too fast

[frozen radish]

What would you gents say is better, Armet with that feather, or a sallet with all the stuff to protect neck

[whole marsh]

no padding under armor makes it feel uncomfortable and especially depending on weather

[safe loom]

i am STABBING.

[modest estuary]

I DAMN DID IT

[frail veldt]

footwork and timing makes a big difference with thrusts

[wheat leaf]

you might be stabbing too fast

[frail veldt]

assuming they dont have mail on

[safe loom]

i'm halfswording a long sowrd

sword*

and stabbing DOWN

and they just

BOUNCE

OFF BARE SKIN

[astral vessel]

Does it? I find it that it gets too bulky unless the padding is around the joints, or just some reinforced fabric

[wheat leaf]

oh yeah lol halfsword stabbing is kinda buns to aim ngl, it either lands perfect or misses the neck 19 times

[chilly marsh]

oy guys what is up with the blood, did they fix the weird blood

[frail veldt]

stabs are a bit janky in all honesty trying to finish off an armored willie with a longsword is aneurysm inducing with how the sword manages to go anywhere but the gaps in their armor

[agile spoke]

Lightsaber mods about to go nuts

[chilly marsh]

omfg

[gloomy bridge]

is it just me or do you guys also fall really easily too like unaturally

[wheat leaf]

this whole ea release is a bit janky

[ancient sand]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/m36DSNBjalUN6RBww?invite=cr-MSxGaFMsNDU3MTQwMzg0&v=7

my character gotta relax bro

[mystic cloud]

it's 0.6

[frail veldt]

straight up the AI goes into a berzerk rage bashing your skull in when you're downed and i feel like a downed opponent is one im the least likely to be able to kill even if i wanted to

[wheat leaf]

its the gameplay downgrade from demo that gets me really

[nimble sleet]

this mf just won't die

stole his pants tho

[gloomy bridge]

you can pay off the souls or fight them in batches by talking to the shady dude in the back

[mystic cloud]

I suppose it's subjective, I can't go back to the demo

This is fun asf

[modest estuary]

baron ended my longest kill streak of 122 but i gained it back in the abyss and won

[wheat leaf]

i couldnt either, and dont get me wrong i love ea its just got a lot of new flaws im not used to working with ig

[agile spoke]

I thought this too until I got my strength up and got used to it. There's still something a bit off imo but I can get a lot of control now

[frail veldt]

honestly i thought the gameplay was a downgrade when i played the demo for the first time yesterday but after going back to it EA is overall an improvement

[covert forge]

characters in the demo are more rigid waaay easier to stumble in EA

[torpid oriole]

What’s the best weapon for armored guys?

[mystic cloud]

None of us are

[nimble sleet]

nvm forgot i had npc damage turned down

[static heron]

is there a channel for forging

[modest estuary]

anything that can thump their head

[chilly marsh]

aight I bought half sword, I give in, ive been playing since itch.io, im so excited to bash willies skull into a WALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

[covert forge]

also the butter fingers

[raven tartan]

Anyone else feel like the blunt-damage buff over the demo build makes swords kind of obsolete once you get to the armored tiers? sword hits just don't do enough blunt-damage compared to poleaxes and the new chainmail makes it almost impossible to deal cutting/stabbing damage outside of extremely lucky hits.

[safe loom]

why did you KILL so many of them

[restive sleet]

new physics are so fucked

[safe loom]

swords were never good for armor

[frail veldt]

i only saw 2 major downgrades in EA compared to the demo and that's that legs are much more unstable and it's a lot easier to fall over and swords don't feel nearly as bite-y in a way i cant really put into words

[static heron]

if not, it should be made

[modest estuary]

i was not losing this character without a fight

[restive sleet]

a basic hammer's damage will register dozens of times and instakill in armor

[chilly marsh]

nuh uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[safe loom]

NO LIKE

IN THE FIRST PLACE

[modest estuary]

oh yeah i used a longsword for a good bit

[torpid oriole]

A mace?

[modest estuary]

mace does work well

[safe loom]

how tf are you moving like this

you have to be on controller

[raven tartan]

In the demo with half-sword grip you could somewhat consistently sneak the blade into gaps into armor or with a regular grip just bonk people on helmets with the blade and knock them out, now blades don't feel 'hefty' enough to do it.

[wheat leaf]

nah all keyboard

ive never tried controller

[safe loom]

no fucking shot

[wheat leaf]

but i got like 1300 hours in demo so yknow

[chilly marsh]

guys does studio driver work for half sword

[frail veldt]

i also wonder if devs are aware that the poleaxe free mode gives you access to is a completely useless weapon

it's .02kg

[agile spoke]

Press x after a swing

[wheat leaf]

this is by far worse than what i could typically do in demo

[mystic cloud]

I haven't even tried the controller for this game

[wheat leaf]

i feel geriatric in ea lmao

[ancient sand]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/m36JyMcBjcPkHXbt4?invite=cr-MSw4RWYsNDU3MTQwMzg0&v=6

THEY CAN DODGE????

WHAT THE FUCK

[mystic cloud]

the chamber was solid don't beat yourself up

[safe loom]

oh hell no

[torpid oriole]

Can you give me a good pole axe build?

[wheat leaf]

shieet i can describe it

[frail veldt]

that was pretty good tho

[chilly marsh]

it looks like they made it faster

[mystic cloud]

Pointy tip - dual bashing spike heads - billhook pommel

imo

[modest estuary]

me after having to kill 122 souls to escape the abyss cuz the baron bashed my skull in

[safe loom]

WHERE ARE THESE WILLIES??

[modest estuary]

https://klipy.com/gifs/im-tired-boss-3

[opal ore]

just bought the game

hope its not unoptimized or something

[wheat leaf]

1.6-2.0 KG, i prefer mine just below default length, keep the weight balance about 1 hand width above the rondel
if your at a tier without rondels on polearms, that'd be about 1.5-2 hand width from the head

[safe loom]

how do we tell him?

[chilly marsh]

they slowed kicks, removed ground kicking, added ground punching, added jump, made transitions smoother and faster

[opal ore]

i already know

[frail veldt]

ea is my first time playing the game at all and i've just now managed to learn how to parry, riposting without leaving myself open is still a bit of a puzzle

[opal ore]

im just goofing lol

i bought it anyways

[chilly marsh]

fr

idc as long as they fix it

[opal ore]

they will

[chilly marsh]

halfsword or kinstrife is my dream game

besides bannerlord

[opal ore]

i got the courage after i saw their little update today

[fossil isle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1047194231875321856/1468513822422859917/image.png?ex=69844b92&is=6982fa12&hm=dcad8714c8ea502684fde97ad849cedb0757aaae40ad5712e942917929c0bef9&

[wheat leaf]

lobotomy in ea 2026 confirmed

[fossil isle]

does anybody know how to pick him up

[opal ore]

and i thought they arent gonna leave it like thi

hopefully

[fossil isle]

After getting him in a wrist lock

[chilly marsh]

magic

[fossil isle]

holy swordplay

[glacial meteor]

did u know if u grab their nuts u crush them

[opal ore]

so guys uh

whats new?

from the demo

[static heron]

may knight run is at the abbys because of BEES beware of beehivbes in the forest map

[agile spoke]

Really bees?

[frail veldt]

can't imagine how overwhelming this would be if i didn't have years of mordhau and chivalry experience getting me used to having a numbskull caveman swinging a piece of metal at me while shouting obscenities

[ancient sand]

willie got dragged behind the barn and shot 😔

[static heron]

yep

[regal iron]

"Ragamuffin!"

[chilly marsh]

leme run down the main thongs

that I saw in video

[opal ore]

okokok

[tall dagger]

idk about grab but you can definitely crush em

[safe loom]

y'know what

[frail veldt]

if they call me hedgeborn at any point in the match they better get ready to get in line comin for my ass in the abyss later

[safe loom]

i'm tired of fighting willies

let us fight that dragon thing in the victory screen

[frail veldt]

or just pull a mordhau and let us wail on some "dwarves"

[chilly marsh]

Jumping, slower kicking, buffed blunt, no kicking on ground, punching on ground, faster punching, smoother gaurd transition. Progression mode, new weapons including crossbow. ETC. (im installing game to check rn)

@opal ore

[fair frost]

is there any way i can reset or make a new save for progession?

[safe loom]

look in pinned

[opal ore]

buffed blunt?

also noice!

[frail veldt]

5% chance that any willie you fight is a 3rd of the normal height

[chilly marsh]

blunt weapons are rebuffed

[opal ore]

ohhh ok

[chilly marsh]

oh and you can literally break balls

now

[opal ore]

so now you can viciously cave skulls in effectively

what

[chilly marsh]

💀

no joke

[opal ore]

hope theres not a sound for that

[torpid oriole]

Thank you

[chilly marsh]

. . .

[opal ore]

bruh

[chilly marsh]

🤭

[safe loom]

oh god

[frail veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/buckwheat-porky-ring-the-bell-boxing-billie-thomas-gif-17836526

it's more like this

[opal ore]

depends

[chilly marsh]

screams of agony

[opal ore]

for example some hammers had different ways of blunt force

[chilly marsh]

oh there is hair now

too

so no more willies

[opal ore]

some were designed to smash the head and pierce deepi nside the asshole, some were meant to rattle the head

[opal ore]

bruh

[weak cliff]

How do I get better at the combat I keep getting cooked bro 😭

[opal ore]

yeah no im refunidng no-

[frail veldt]

i wish i could mod in a gong sound whenever you get a blunt headshot on a helmet with that lil discombobulated neck jiggle they do

[opal ore]

kill the enemy

[chilly marsh]

well ther are still willies but you have to use the new feature to take off their clothes

[opal ore]

everyone was balding before

so nice

[weak cliff]

Gang 💀

[chilly marsh]

which you can do now... you can strip other willies

[opal ore]

really? well ill be doing that

😉

[opal ore]

im white

[wheat leaf]

oh and thats with both heads as 4-prong hammer's with a top spike and heel spike specifically

[weak cliff]

Gang is not like race exclusive thing tho

[chilly marsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2S78_KrtYs @opal ore go to 2:46

[wheat leaf]

that polehammer carried me from like soldier to current

[safe loom]

please tell me it's not a pop..

[frail veldt]

most common early mistake is moving your mouse too fast, also spend some time in training mode learning which mouse movements give you which swings so you're not just flailing in an actual fight

[frail veldt]

the enemy having unarmored legs doesnt matter much if you cant manage to successfully swing downwards

[chilly marsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2S78_KrtYs 0:39

[safe loom]

OH GOD

EUGH

EGH

[weak cliff]

Thank you for actual helpful advice I’ll try this for sure

[safe loom]

NOOOOO

[chilly marsh]

yea changing sens helpss

[frail veldt]

also look up some youtube videos on defense, this game has a light autoblock mechanic but it takes some finesse, lowering my mouse sensitivity was the best decision i've made honestly cuz it makes everything a lil less chaotic

[opal ore]

alright uh

genuinely like

i dont like the new human faces

[chilly marsh]

blasphemy

[opal ore]

im fine with hair but not seeing everyone willie is weird

[chilly marsh]

we NEED WILLIE Mode!

[opal ore]

im just so used to touching willies

[normal dragon]

is there different damage for hitting someone in the crotch region

[opal ore]

100%

[frail veldt]

yes

[opal ore]

i think someone will create a mod

[light kernel]

You mean I can't just rip my Mouse back and forth like an ape on speed and hope to god my weapon kills them?

[opal ore]

when modding is added

[frail veldt]

a running punt to the balls is an instant submission in duels

[light kernel]

It already is, look up Nexus mods

[opal ore]

oo

[chilly marsh]

pretty realistic XD

[normal dragon]

ye i was curious as i kicked some chap in the balls and he fell quite quickly

[meager sorrel]

"20 souls seek revenge" Im so cooked gang

[normal dragon]

thank you

[frail veldt]

we were all there at some point

[chilly marsh]

there is a reason you can't kick balls in the ufc...

[regal iron]

Bribe their ass

[light kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/flight-reacts-flight-yikes-flight-meme-gif-12822158462297009384

Awwww, embeds disabled

[chilly marsh]

not level 3

[opal ore]

skibiid

[light kernel]

Awwwwww shucks

[chilly marsh]

🥹

[chilly marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/flight-reacts-flight-yikes-flight-meme-gif-12822158462297009384

[normal dragon]

can u also still do submissions too for example in the demo i learnt how to do an arm bar but now im trying it and it isnt working

[meager sorrel]

THEY ATTACK MULTIPLE AT A TIME?!?!?!

Im so cooked

[chilly marsh]

I thnik there is a new strength mechanic

the higher the level the moer strongth?

[light kernel]

YIPPEEEEE

[frail veldt]

yes but armbar specifically doesnt work too well in EA like it did in demo, it doesnt get submissions at least but chokeholds are a thing in early access and werent in the demo

[light kernel]

Yeah thats it

[frail veldt]

put pressure on a willie's throat and he starts choking, keep it there long enough and he's out

[chilly marsh]

true...

[stone terrace]

is there a gauntlet mode like in the demo

i beat the baron

[normal dragon]

chokehold sounds cool

[chilly marsh]

chokes were a thing only in that they caused surrender I believe

but now it is an actual choke

[normal dragon]

i just know the heavier equipment you use such as heavier armour and heavier weapons your strength increases too

[chilly marsh]

wow

dude they devs really followed through, with some polish, im excited for the next update

[steep barn]

bro why the fuck am i constantly falling over

[chilly marsh]

it only gets better from here

[frail veldt]

if you're a gigachad with no self preservation instinct you can try charging them with your weapon raised high above you, once your sweaty bodies collide you slam the mouse down so their head's between your arms and crouch to bring the poor willie down with your weight, if executed correctly and his flailing doesnt get you off him it's a pretty funny submission

[normal dragon]

for example if you are wearing heavier armour and jump repetitvely when you take the armour off you will noticeably see a big difference in the height

[steep barn]

im not even getting hit and i just fall down

[agile spoke]

The peanut butter you can find in alley speeds up the strength for anyone who doesn't know already

[steep barn]

what the hell is happening

[chilly marsh]

mud and they made willie faster

so easier to fall

[normal dragon]

ive kinda had the same problem but its just the mud tbh

[steep barn]

this is on non mud maps

im just walking normally with my weps out and i just slip

[meager sorrel]

I got surrounded by like 4 zombies and mauled

[normal dragon]

if ur in the peasant area if u run across the mud or walk you can s ee yourself slipping

[chilly marsh]

why is there a hole in mine

[steep barn]

i dont understand whats hpapening

[chilly marsh]

skill issue

[normal dragon]

had one eat both of my knees and my hip so i couldnt get up

[chilly marsh]

😂

[steep barn]

sure bud

[chilly marsh]

train your willie

https://tenor.com/view/quegmire-griffin-family-guy-gym-weightlift-gif-1406701924785989050

[frail veldt]

ive spent a lot of time mindlessly charing into armored opponents with a quarterstaff and at this point im convinced staff grappling is a valid strat against armored enemies since their weight makes them fall over so easily

[midnight leaf]

how do you get in the cart on the forest map

[hazy blaze]

Guys, I'm considering on spending money on a new gpu or new CPU, I got the RX 5700 XT and a Ryzen 5 5600, do y'all think the game will get to a point of running smoothly overtime or should I definitely upgrade? If so, what?

[safe loom]

wait until bro finds out about poleaxes

[safe loom]

do NOT get the 5000 series

those are ai gpus

[hazy blaze]

Why?

[meager sorrel]

I feel as tho u get punished to hard if u die after using any sharp weapon

[hazy blaze]

Oh

[frail veldt]

i've done a lot of bonking too it's just not as satisfying

[normal dragon]

my game runs pretty smoothly and i have a 4060Ti and a Ryzen 5500

[safe loom]

nah bro

GRAPPLING

[normal dragon]

thats the point

[safe loom]

with the poleaxe

[hazy blaze]

But I saw a frame generation option on video settings, so...

[safe loom]

trust me

[normal dragon]

yes frame generation is really good

[safe loom]

the 5000 series are NOT worth it

[hazy blaze]

Sick, then the gpu is the limiting factor

[normal dragon]

gives me about 120more fps

[hazy blaze]

Woahh

Ok I'll sell my gpu, use my first monthly salary to treat me with a new gpu

[frail veldt]

the axe part of the poleaxe makes it too easy though esp if it's a hammer, of course they cant do shit if i grapple them if i can cave their skull in while we're cuddling but that doesnt send a message in the same way just doing it with a long stick does

[finite bough]

nah.

[hazy blaze]

So which one should I get?

[frigid furnace]

Shit take

[safe loom]

dude it's an extra 100 bucks for frame generation and ai bs?

[midnight leaf]

guys how do you get into the carts on the forest map

[normal dragon]

ive heard 5070 is the best for price to performance

[normal dragon]

it just isnt bs

[finite bough]

depends on budget, 50 series are good.. but if you budget for 5070 or better..

[left lion]

do we know the full range of the strength mechanic yet? like can you get stronger after you win the fight (by swinging at air or spam jumping) or in the trainining place/spar with mercanary?

[frigid furnace]

Son 😂😂

[normal dragon]

i dont know what ur on about

[frigid furnace]

It isn't bs

[normal dragon]

frame generation works really weell

well

[safe loom]

what the ai part.

[frigid furnace]

Truth

[wheat leaf]

unmatched aim from willie

[frigid furnace]

Frame gen.

[hazy blaze]

Okay thanks, I'll get a 5070 then :D

[frigid furnace]

Worth it

[normal dragon]

good choice 👍

[true zealot]

i just know youre pissed

[finite bough]

5070 ti or 5070 :)
good luck

[limber cedar]

yo did the update fix the lag on slums and forest

[wheat leaf]

🤏 just a wee bit

[hazy blaze]

Wait it's like 950.000clp

Which is like

970 dollars

😭😭😭

[torpid oriole]

👍

[safe loom]

you could always

idk...

[frail veldt]

doing this shit with a poleaxe just doesnt hit the same

[safe loom]

stick with the 4000 series

[frigid furnace]

The 4000 series is just worse

[hazy blaze]

True, cut the 5060 is 400 dollars here

[safe loom]

for ai*

[normal dragon]

what is this guy talking about

[frigid furnace]

Yes, and AI is good in improving performance for single player games

[safe loom]

WTF ARE YOU ON ABOUT??

it's mean't for generative ai

like

[frigid furnace]

Frame gen??

[restive sleet]

did they fix the blood tiling in the new hotfix

[hazy blaze]

To be fair frame generation did allow me to play ghost of Tsushima at 110fps with high settings

[frail veldt]

we gassed up one clip and now you're just showin off boss

[shrewd moon]

Is stragulation going to be added to the game?

[normal dragon]

someone said to me about 5 mins ago there are chokeholds i believe

[wheat leaf]

i BEEN posting clips you new on the block

[frail veldt]

true i am i joined this server last night

[shrewd moon]

i am where at?

[safe loom]

isn't frame generation just making fake frames between other frames

[normal dragon]

.

[frigid furnace]

Yes

[normal dragon]

@shrewd moon

[fading prism]

thank god elon bought twitter

[frail veldt]

AI predicting what the next frame will be but yea

[wheat leaf]

your where at?

[safe loom]

that cannot be good

[frigid furnace]

It is

It's very good

[normal dragon]

guy is just assuming

[frail veldt]

it is, it works really well, though you need a higher base fps than 60 for it to not start causin isues

[restive sleet]

is blood tiling fixed in the new hotfix

[frigid furnace]

Literally can't tell the difference between native and fake frames in the dlss 4.5

[safe loom]

i'm sorry I don't want some shitty generative AI to 'make' frames

[hazy mural]

bro im not a hater on this game i really like it but goddamn i just got killed by a zombie because i hit him and the axe he was holding just gingerly slid into my skull like butter as an oppose to my axe thats a glorified bludgeon that makes my arm into a swivel joint

[normal dragon]

no idea what blood tiling is so cant help u there

[normal dragon]

ragebait

[frail veldt]

i havent tried it in halfsword yet but in other games frame gen above 2x starts getting noticeably fucky for me but if the game's performance is bad enough i just pretend i do not see it until i stop noticing

[zenith flame]

it's literally just smearing, been a thing for a long time

[frigid furnace]

You complain about AI where it's not a bad thing, I'm against AI in creative shit like art, but for singe player games u literally can't tell the difference.

[normal dragon]

im on 4x no problems for me so far

[safe loom]

idk man, too many frames cannot be a good thing

[silk cargo]

is there a final boss in progression mode?

[frigid furnace]

Depends on your base frame rate

[frigid furnace]

Ight ur just ragebaiting 🥹

[safe loom]

no like

it puts strain on hardware

[plush pelican]

warstaff for the living, halberd for the dead

[frail veldt]

in halfsword i stay above 60 most of the time but in matches of 4+ people the frames drop heavy

[stone terrace]

warstaff is goated

[normal dragon]

from what ive heard i think thats only on roblox 🤔

[safe loom]

why do you think people aren't running games at like 550 frames.

[agile spoke]

If you shoot the UFO In slums you get to fight the dev that made slums

[normal dragon]

cuz nobody has a 550fps monitor

[tall dagger]

has anybody found a pair of the black sabatons yet?

[normal dragon]

hz*

[frail veldt]

i have a 5080 but my CPU isn't the best

[plush pelican]

its great if you wanna pull your punches so you dont obliterate every guy and add to the souls seeking revenge

[stone terrace]

i have 600hz

[safe loom]

do people have 250+ fps monitors??

[frigid furnace]

Because frame gen isn't used in competitive games.

[normal dragon]

few

mine is 180 and my second is 100

[shrewd moon]

Looting yes not in the trader have u found anything to hold bolts for the xbow

[tall dagger]

yeah. i found a quiver with the bow

[normal dragon]

at a certain point there is not really a noticeable difference

like 360 to 540hz'

[shrewd moon]

like a longbow or the xbow, also where cuz i couldnt find it in the cart

[stone terrace]

yea

[normal dragon]

the latency difference is minescule

[stone terrace]

but i play fps games

so its useful

[safe loom]

frame gen is really only good for making things look VISUALLY better

that doesn't help with shit like latency

[stone terrace]

smoother*

[normal dragon]

what?

[tall dagger]

theres only a crossbow. its in a crate next to the rear car. spawn is kinda rare for the bow and even more rare for the quiver

[safe loom]

Ig

[normal dragon]

please watch a video explainign dlss

[safe loom]

I am

and it's talking about what I just said

[shrewd moon]

oh just gotta check each time im on the map then?

[tall dagger]

yeh

[quick steppe]

bro fps isnt limited by the monitor a game can have 100+ fps even if your monitor only has 60 hz

[shrewd moon]

i assume theres also only one xbow and it cant pen armor?

[safe loom]

oh would you LOOK AT THAT.

[normal dragon]

never said that u cant have 1000fps js cuz ur monitor is 60hz

i never said that

u js cant access the other 40frames

[safe loom]

but you kinda did?

[normal dragon]

so ur ragebaiting

and the other guy didnt understand what i meant

[safe loom]

mf here is EVIDENCE

[mortal agate]

Is clipping ever going to be fixed

[normal dragon]

cuz u cant use all the frames if ur montior doesnt have high refresh rate

💩

[agile spoke]

I'm eating honey sunflower seeds and they're so good dude

[safe loom]

just stick with the 4000 series, no one needs that gen AI bullshit

[normal dragon]

and people are running games at around 550fps such as CS2 pros

[frail veldt]

trying framegen now, 4x felt terrible but 2x is pretty cash honestly

[normal dragon]

some play on 720hz monitors

[safe loom]

not to mention it costs a LOT more just for that frame generation

[dawn holly]

Rip Wilhem 🥺

[normal dragon]

literally get in on the 40 serious

series

[safe loom]

that's not GOOD though.

you don't need that many frames

[normal dragon]

why do u think they're pros 🤔

[meager sorrel]

I finally made it to commoner because i got a halberd as peasant

[safe loom]

They're good at the game????

[shrewd moon]

man i sure wish i had less fps said no one ever

[safe loom]

the cpu and gpu being overworked:

[normal dragon]

so put them on a 60hz monitor vs other pros on 720hz or 360hz i wonder whos gonna win 🤔

[tall dagger]

can probably pen chainmail and slip into armor cracks

[quick steppe]

it makes a small differnce from what i know

[normal dragon]

which is not the case with frame generation

[frail veldt]

i swear espinas just came here and brought up AI just so he could find people to argue with

[normal dragon]

✅

[safe loom]

BECAUSE IT'S FAKE

IT'S NOT REAL

[quick steppe]

just because its ai you dont have to hate it

[agile spoke]

Man these sunflower seeds are fire

[shrewd moon]

oh ok so its a weaker xbow i hope they add betters ones with like 1000lb draw weights

[normal dragon]

well considering im on about 70fps without it and 160fps with it i can clearly see the difference as my monitor is 180hz

[dawn holly]

Ai frame generation doesn’t actually give you more frames?

[frail veldt]

if you think about it colors aren't real either

[normal dragon]

does

[frail veldt]

our minds arent real...

[safe loom]

IT DOESN'T

[dawn holly]

Visually

[normal dragon]

people say

[frail veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/descartes-sedierta-gif-23276960

[dawn holly]

That’s what I’m saying

[safe loom]

IT'S ONLY VISUALLY

[normal dragon]

'but its fake frames 💩 '

visually

[proud flower]

baron's beak keeps getting stuck in the ground. I feel like I am max strength but all my polearms feel like i'm trying to swing a steel door at people and my legs seem substantially wobbly. If anyone has any tips or hidden mechanics i'm unaware of let me know

[normal dragon]

how do u see the frames

[dawn holly]

Brother

[safe loom]

but these MORONS can't take the hint

[normal dragon]

u see the frames visually

[agile spoke]

Is that Descartes in the halfsword Discord

[restive sleet]

🥹

[dawn holly]

They’re fake frames. Literally. The frames aren’t a result of the actual whatever you’re doing being shown. It’s just ai filling the gaps.

[tall dagger]

not so much the crossbow. its more-so the bolts and the games penetration properties... those bolts fly insanely quick. if they had any kind of weight to them they would carry a nasty amount of inertia

[dawn holly]

It doesn’t reflect your computers power

[frail veldt]

a little before his time but mostly era accurate

[shrewd moon]

I use MSi afterburner and overlay it like that

[agile spoke]

What the hell Descartes doing with that flail

[dawn holly]

It might make it look better, and I don’t think it’s bad, but they aren’t “real” frames

[safe loom]

if anything it'll result in worse performance

not worse frames

[quick steppe]

frame gen only make it look smooth but it also increases latency in some cases

[dawn holly]

Yeah

[safe loom]

worse PERFORMANCE.

[normal dragon]

guy is just saying words

[safe loom]

i don't think that's possible.

[normal dragon]

it literally does increase latency

[safe loom]

@dawn holly ?

[normal dragon]

Frame Generation inserts artificial frames to boost smoothness, which can introduce minor artifacts and increased latency.

[frail veldt]

it always increases latency at least a little the only question is whether it's enough to be noticeable to you, if it's not then have at it

[dawn holly]

Like, I understand what you’re saying. But they aren’t real in the sense that it’s not your computer showing you what’s happening on screen as it is.

[agile spoke]

Where's Wittgenstein when you need him smh

[dawn holly]

Idfk

[normal dragon]

its true this is 100% that i know

[river pagoda]

yo can they make it any harder to pull the fucking levers

[frail veldt]

like if i ever put framegen on 4x no matter which game i try it in it always feels like complete shit

[glacial meteor]

my ass got tricked

[frail veldt]

but 2x isnt noticeable at all

[normal dragon]

feels fine for me

[dawn holly]

It’s kinda easy for me

[normal dragon]

i js switched to 2x

[safe loom]

please tell me you didn't just use an AI response in an argument.

[glacial meteor]

4x feels great

[normal dragon]

ill see if theres a difference

[agile spoke]

Can't live like that

[frail veldt]

i just tried it and it made the game feel like jello lol, it might be my CPU bottlenecking and reducing my base frames though

[quick steppe]

i just got you proof from the internet

thats all

[supple dagger]

This is just a suggestion based off of what other people experienced playing the early access since I don't have it yet, but in the future MAYBE don't go out of your way to put fully modeled landscapes in maps where you wouldn't be able to go to there anyways. I would definitely just decrease the render distance and then have very distant objects just be flat images as they are already way too far for detail to matter. Just remember this: if nobody is going to see it or pay attention to it during gameplay, then don't model it.

[winged folio]

this is just amazing

[safe loom]

where. is. it.

sources vro

[winged folio]

and the internet has to be right!

the internet never ever lies!

[agile spoke]

If you shoot the UFO you can fight the dev who made the map but he's a 7ft alien

[dawn holly]

The original plan was supposedly open world or dynamic fighting areas

[glacial meteor]

modify ur graphics and use frame gen auto, itll only activate when u need fps which will be at all times lmao

[safe loom]

google telling me i'm gonna explode from this random rash

[lean flicker]

how much does that cost lmao
