[crimson compass]

I don't think I've ever managed to finish skyrims main storyline.

[frail veldt]

how old are you if you dont mind me asking

[lethal ingot]

Mid 30s.

[crimson compass]

4 was mid at best IMO, really not engaging.

[lethal ingot]

Yeah, basically was my takeaway. Like it was a functional game and it could be played but it didn't reall have anything that was compelling going on.

[frail veldt]

i've played a lot of NV and 3, havent touched 4 yet

wanna give 1 and 2 more of a shot

4 just seems very unappealing to me

[lethal ingot]

It feels very weird and sanitized in a way that really rubs me the wrong way.

[frail veldt]

i will never not feel lucky that my dad force fed me a lot of very old games as a kid and they're way more digestible to me than other people in my age group (mid to late 20s)

[crimson compass]

You aren't missing much. More of the same honestly.

[primal geyser]

much better gameplay but rpg elements are dumbed way down in 4

pretty much what they did with elder scrolls series

[frail veldt]

RPG elements died a long time ago in bethesda games

[crimson compass]

its true

[frail veldt]

they're still RPGs but not as roleplay heavy as they used to be

[crimson compass]

every trans girl i know LOVES new vegas

[lethal ingot]

New Vegas is absolutely worth giving a chance. It's jank as hell but it's an entertaining kind of jank. Could've been a lot less jank but Bethesda gave it a shoestring budget and an absolutely fucking tiny dev cycle for any game let alone an open world RPG to get it to release.

[primal geyser]

I don't know man it was great for the time but it feels really dated atp

[frail veldt]

playing morrowind all the way through kinda ruined modern bethesda titles for me

[lethal ingot]

New Vegas felt dated when it released. Because of aforementioned factors.

[primal geyser]

gotta mod it to hell

[frail veldt]

they feel so much worse now seeing firsthand what we've lost

[lethal ingot]

Hell, Fallout 3 felt dated on release and that had no excuse whatsoever for being that way.

[frail veldt]

fallout 3 was panned pretty hard on release no?

[lethal ingot]

Not that I remember of it, I remember it being very well received. It was buggy though.

[frail veldt]

i've heard very few good things about fallout 3 even though i personally like it a lot

NV feels like an overall better game but i like 3's setting more personally

[lethal ingot]

And you had a lot of people like myself that complained about it not adhering to the setting, but most people at that point didn't even know what Fallout was. Fallout 1, 2, Tactics and the various spin-offs were fairly niche.

Fallout 3 was most people's first entry point when it released.

[frail veldt]

so as someone that's only played 3 and NV what are the big differences between them and 1 and 2 (besides the isometric perspective and them being turn based)

like what should i look forward to

[lethal ingot]

It also had a whole debacle in development where it radically changed where in the timeline it took place that resulted in some real fucky-wucky stuff.

[frail veldt]

turn based is a bit of a hard sell to me but certain turn based games can very much still hook me

[hidden schooner]

[primal geyser]

divinity and baldur's gate are goated turn based rpgs imho

[frail veldt]

they're also what made me not hate the whole genre of turn based RPGs lol

[primal geyser]

and original pokemon games obv

[frail veldt]

were a gateway into finally being able to enjoy the old ones

baldurs gates' writing was good enough that at the time it made me look past it being turn based and ended up realizing turn based wasn't so bad after all

[crimson compass]

nah pokemon doesnt actually hold up

[lethal ingot]

Uhhh, there's a lot. It's a very gritty setting that is based much more in the 80s and 90s sci-fi landscape than it is the retrofuturism that Fallout 3 and 4 leaned so hard into, with those elements instead being a more minimal inclusion. And the entire setting and lore around mutants and ghouls was a lot more complex than what is presented in 3 and 4. New Vegas gets into that a fair bit, especially with the stuff involving Grandma and Raul. Also a lot more exploration of the post-apocalypse as a sort of cultural and societal reset rather than it being an endpoint. Fallout 1 takes place pretty shortly after the Great War and is deep in the apocalyptic stuff but Fallout 2 takes place as society is really starting to coalesce again and nation states are starting to form, the wasteland is starting to get infrastructure again, etc.

[primal geyser]

yeah pure nostalgia for me

[acoustic zephyr]

personally i didn't care much for 3's setting but i loved NV. but that might have also been some slight nostalgia for fallout 1/2 lol

[crimson compass]

As somebody who was never into it as a kid and tried to go back and play pokemon it is literally just nostalgia goggles. Not actually a good game but everybody played it as a kid so they all have nostalgia for it.

[primal geyser]

pretty much

[frail veldt]

playing the hearts of iron 4 fallout mod gave me a lot of context on fallout 1 and 2 since it's set inbetween those and the modern games, was surprised at how functional society actually was in the lore rather than the completely collapsed and nonfunctional image 3 and NV give

trade and infrastructure actually being a thing was a big part of it for me

since in 3 and NV those are both nonexistent

[acoustic zephyr]

from what i remember of fallout lore, how functional the society was, was heavily based on geographic location

i think you can use your custom crafted weapons from progression in free mode. i noticed my insured stuff shows up in free mode, not sure about uninsured stuff

[lethal ingot]

New Vegas makes a bit of sense because of the context of House and what he's doing, basically keeping everyone else around him down and not allowing the NCR to advance through his land, but yeah in Fallout 3 it just came down to the timeline shuffle (it was originally designed with the intent to take place immediately after the Great War and then shifted into being 200 years down the line and that makes things real weird) and then Bethesda just didn't give a fuck with 4.

[frail veldt]

the mod does reflect that lol, most of the map is raiders and bandits but the parts that are civilized in the lore are portrayed as a lot more functional than they are in 3 and NV

[burnt quiver]

you can make them in progression then insure them and go back to freemode and then it lets you

[elfin jasper]

when i hold alt for most weapons willie does like an overhead strike stance

[acoustic zephyr]

wasn't society pretty functional still in NV? vegas itself was isolated but part of the story was NCR sending out expeditionary forces and encountering NV and caesar

[elfin jasper]

and key binds seem default

[frail veldt]

if you used some imagination yes but to me it's hard to make me think a society is functional when a town has like 20 inhabitants

[lethal ingot]

Yeah, New Vegas does explicitly go into how the NCR is a fully functional, albeit rather corrupted, nation state and that New Vegas itself is just an isolated border region.

[frail veldt]

both 3 and NV had the issue of feeling very empty and barren even in supposed economic hubs

[elfin jasper]

is there a fix to this? I'll report bug otherwise

[acoustic zephyr]

that's a pretty typical video game issue lol

[frail veldt]

to some extent yes but bethesda games are much more worse with it with anything post morrowind

[acoustic zephyr]

for 1H swords? i'm not sure if that's intentional, but i noticed it with 1h swords and it's pretty annoying

[frail veldt]

morrowind was great to this respect, NPCs don't have all that crazy coding depth to them so you can have benign civilians walking around that dont need to have complete schedules and whatnot, so theres naturally a whole lot more of them

[elfin jasper]

and knives, axes so on

i think it's supposed to be for rondels

[acoustic zephyr]

ah i haven't used axes and knives much so i haven't noticed

[crimson compass]

Yeah that is one of the things that bugs me the most about bethesda games

[lethal ingot]

Yeah, that's because of Todd Howard combined with them losing their old lead designers from before him. Morrowind was the first game they made after the hostile takeover and when Todd Howard was first lifted up to lead designer, but he got help from one of the original founders of the company as a co-lead who worked on Morrowind with him under contract. (Both the founding leads were fired during the takeover.)

[crimson compass]

The "Cities" only have enough houses for like 50 people maximum. And each town only has around 20 NPCs. Super immersion breaking.

[frail veldt]

todd seems to care a lot more about money than artistic expression, which is fair enough but came to the detriment of the games imo

he pushed the studio into a very ambitious direction and to his credit did find quite a lot of success but i think people have gotten quite disgruntled with bethesda now

[lethal ingot]

Literally his entire game design philosophy is to simplify everything down as much as is physically possible. Which is how you got Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, 4 and 76.

[gritty gulch]

so why does this happen on some maps but not on others

[frail veldt]

not EVERYTHING, he was very serious about breaking ground with what you can do with NPCs

[lethal ingot]

How so? I can't think of any NPC interaction innovation in any of his titles.

[frail veldt]

he took it way too far though and oblivion and skyrim ended up feeling very empty as a result, but it's definitely not simplifying that part at least

[crimson compass]

devs didnt playtest their game and neglected to add important features like 1 handed stabbing. It's been reported a bunch though dont bother with a bug report, they know

[frail veldt]

every NPC has a detailed schedule that involves interacting with other NPCs and items in the world, schedules that run regardless of player involvement or presence at all

makes for some funny bugs when something goes wrong, like one NPC in oblivion journeys across the whole map once a week because a dev accidentally put in the name of the wrong town in their schedule

[finite bough]

"i ain't a vfx artist"

[lethal ingot]

Mm, that's Todd Howard trying to do his usual thing of laying claim to a system that someone else made long before him. Ultima 5 was the first game to have that, back in 1988.

[south tiger]

The ground textures flicker sometimes

Or get blurry

[frail veldt]

i doubt that they could pull it off to the same depth though, especially with the game being fully 3d and at least oblivion is a fine RPG in its own right

[soft osprey]

I LOVE oblivion

Im still a bethesda fanboy despite their issues

[frail veldt]

the price was that the game simply couldnt handle a high NPC count because they ALL needed a schedule, which leads to the imperial city, the largest city in the empire and host to the largest population, have maybe 40 people living in it in-game

[errant pilot]

game crashed after hitting a beehive on death, when i relaunch the game to play progress mode it puts me in an empty arena with BG noise and nothing else, any ideas?

[frozen wyvern]

Recently I found these videos that document every RDR2 camp NPC’s daily routine, they’re complete with piss breaks and everything

[lethal ingot]

Ultima 5's scheduled NPC interactions are honestly far, far deeper than Oblivion's which are pretty hollow overall. Much as it does work well for making a 3D RPG feel immersive. RDR2 is definitely a great example of that system being taken to its extreme.

[soft osprey]

RDR2 is a perfect example of going too far done right. God damn..horse testicles shrinking..

[frail veldt]

RDR2 was way smarter about it, to todd's credit though it came out over a decade after oblivion

[opal moth]

cut him so hard that his head and hair separated

[dire zephyr]

gojo is that you

[frail veldt]

RDR2 seems to have a mix of NPCs having something resembling a schedule, just enough to make them believable people, but not so much that it's unnecessary like it was in oblivion

[gritty gulch]

where's the brain

right

he's got non

[frail veldt]

like there simply is no reason a random beggar needs a fully coded schedule, the player will never interact with them, the player will never interact with most of the NPCs in the game that have fully programmed lives, it was a complete waste of the game's technical capabilities

[lethal ingot]

Ultima really blows Oblivion and Skyrim's NPC complexity out of the water and it was the foundational series in cementing what players expect out of "living" RPG settings.

[frail veldt]

their big sell at the time was "well if you WANTED TO you could follow them around and see their schedule unfold!" yeah but thats cool the first time and then you never do it again bc you wanna play the actual game

also little things like every single NPC needed a bed assigned to them. EVERY SINGLE ONE

which inevitably will lead to cases where a dev forgets to assign a bed to an NPC or messes something up which makes that lifelike-so-real NPC just stand in place for 12 hours when they should be sleeping

[lethal ingot]

At the time Oblivion was definitely pushed as having a lot more emergent qualities than prior systems but looking at it in hindsight now it's honestly a pretty paltry framework for emergent NPC interaction. Almost certainly born out of how incredibly dated and jank Gamebryo is as an engine.

Even for its time, a lot of what Gamebryo does is... poorly implemented.

[frail veldt]

the oblivion remaster is pretty great at least

fixes a lot of those old coding quirks

i managed to actually have a lot of fun with the game now that it was mostly functional finally

[lethal ingot]

I have yet to touch it, but it seems like something I might play at some point when feeling a bit of nostalgia for violating the law and evading my fines and jail sentence.

[frail veldt]

i recommend it, they improved the levelling experience significantly

[rare hearth]

what da hall

[frail veldt]

spell crafting is better too

[rare hearth]

chrome when are u going to release your 10000 wip mods i need them

[frail veldt]

you no longer have to pick the opposite build of what you wanna play to level effectively

[rigid stone]

Has anyone else had a bug where your game would crash every 10 or so minutes, and you were able to fix it?

[soft osprey]

Sure there is. It makes me feel even more powerful when I know the NPC has a schedule, a life he adheres to, people he talks to and cares about, when I steal his shit and kill him

[frail veldt]

until you realize you've just reduced the town's population by 10% by killing that one guy

[obtuse mantle]

How do you consistently choke someone? Or is it kinda sorta bugged?

[little verge]

Have you never followed an NPC for a day to see what they do?

[frail veldt]

he has a schedule but he doesn't have a family which really numbs down the potential for sadism

[frail veldt]

once

[quaint ingot]

didn’t mean to stab his eye out

[rare hearth]

can you even

wont they just fight you

oh wai

you're talking about rdr2

[soft osprey]

Heh..i guess im just too dark and mysterious..you wouldnt get it. You wouldn’t survive a single day living in the sick twisted mind of mine

https://tenor.com/view/m'lady-dabid-neckbeard-gif-11165606239311887434

[frail veldt]

when i was doing thief roleplaying i didnt really need to follow them, it was safe to assume they would be home at night and not at work so i could plunder their shop to my heart's content

same with assassinations, they'll be in bed at night, just find where their bed is and get them in their sleep

[little verge]

Depends on the game. Some Dev teams go all out on NPC schedules. KC:D has one of the most in depth AI routines to date.

[rare hearth]

i thought you were talking about halfsword lmao

[odd raptor]

i accidentally sent this in normal general so ima send it here too since ppl are talking

do you guys think abyss is easier or more difficult in the ea compared to demo
if i had to answer i guess its not exactly a 1:1 comparison in fairness
but overall id consider the demo easier it just depends on the context

[rare hearth]

yeah thats really cool

it really adds to the immersion

[little verge]

Oh there is no NPC routines in HS. Fight, Die, Repeat.

[rare hearth]

it wouldnt be really good if the same npc's been drinking the same bottle of beer for the entire game

[odd raptor]

could you technically argue that the npcs in the menu between fights have routines

[soft osprey]

That means Thats the routine

[frail veldt]

i need to pick the sequel back up, i played through the whole first game and was so burnt out by the end lol

[little verge]

I personally find the new abyss easier then the old abyss. I also never get close enough to a revenant to get bitten though. If you are not using range it can get brutally hard.

[frail veldt]

i was so ready to just get it over with and then the game hits you with that big surprise at the end that it turns out the hans DLC is actually mandatory to finish the main quest

[little verge]

Your not allowed that sticker mate.

[odd raptor]

i feel like old abyss was easier in that you could heal a lot faster i feel, and the enemies dont really latch onto you while continuously damaging you

[frail veldt]

which was a bizarre decision on their part

[soft osprey]

I want to be able to fight humans instead of zombies. Zombies are cool, and fun, but classic abyss was better imo

[odd raptor]

with the exception of EA allowing you to disable the zombies really easy and if youre on prog you can pay em off

[little verge]

Humans are boring.

[rare hearth]

zombies are really easy

they throw their weapons away

just to bite you

[odd raptor]

i like the zombies but i feel like they could maybe add both zombies and lost souls (people)

[graceful shoal]

The zambos are fun, they fall apart so fast it feels like Metal Gear Rising

[rare hearth]

literally brainless

[frail veldt]

a lot of people say classic abyss was better i really don't see how

[odd raptor]

and it wouldnt be a matter of them teaming on you itd be survival of the fittest

bro hire me NOW

[rare hearth]

really depends on how they define better

some define it as easier

some define it as more advanced

some define it as the one that doesnt make my pc sound like a jet engine

[frail veldt]

with how fragile you are in demo abyss it's definitely easier in EA once you get some armor

[odd raptor]

i think the key reason old abyss was better was because you didnt spawn in a box that doesnt fit you

maybe a hot take but that box has KILLED me

[graceful shoal]

I get why people would like classic man v man fights in a kind of rougelite setting where you keep getting new gear till you die

[frail veldt]

demo abyss is just run around until you find a pitchfork or candlestick and then stab anyone who spawns

[rare hearth]

you spamming that imagine isnt tuff

[soft osprey]

Ur boring 😡

No Youre not

Im sorry

[odd raptor]

i like the progression in the abyss the most

i like scavenging my supplies....

[little verge]

Most of the arguments I have seen for this is the unique bosses.

[quaint ingot]

that don’t look good

[graceful shoal]

Thats pretty much progression mode item acquirement too tbf

Most of your gear is looted

[rare hearth]

yeah the bosses were really good

[little verge]

I mean I really am though. I am simple folk.

[rare hearth]

now they're just tall randoms

[odd raptor]

thats why ea has me eating SO GOOD

[frail veldt]

is there any benefit to trying to play brawls a little more intelligently than just spamming with your fists of fury aimed at their head?

[quaint ingot]

love how I’m just shooting them right in the lungs

[graceful shoal]

Probably not, but I do like to keep my arms up and block some shots just for the RP

[rare hearth]

you might have more fun

[odd raptor]

actively dodge attacks and bait them into openings

time your swings to knock them in the head good

i dont brawl much so thats all i can give

[rare hearth]

its fun to do the good old dodge and left hook

[frail veldt]

i wish i could keep my guard up without my followup having to be 2 lightning fast hooks minimum

i wanna have a slower more controlled punch but the controls make that more trouble than its worth

[odd raptor]

guard is overrated

[solemn mist]

I have made an achievement!!

[odd raptor]

just draw your fist back

and use momentum to increase ur power or something

[graceful shoal]

They should turn brawl into a 3 round, points based system like boxing. Maybe make KOs valuable per round but have big hits give more points in total

[remote crypt]

[onyx moon]

silly me

i meant to grab him but then i grabbed him and the

pole

[solemn mist]

Over a year or maybe I can't remmeber, of swinging a stick useless in halfsword. I beated commoner level 3 with nothin but a sword!

[quaint ingot]

tad too close

[graceful shoal]

If you want to just spam your way through, sure. But guarding is fun

[frail veldt]

also devs make elbows do more damage in brawls PLEASE

[solemn mist]

Woah

[odd raptor]

guarding would be more fun if it worked better but i feel like it dont work well atm

[frail veldt]

i wanna elbow strike the shit out of these willies

[solemn mist]

We got elbows now?

[tame barn]

ADD MORE BOLTS TO FREE MODE PLEASE

[solemn mist]

My wallet empty😿

[sharp thunder]

i wanna use the pointy elbows on the vambraces to knock people out

[tame barn]

I WANT TO PLAY AS A CROSSBOWMEN

[graceful shoal]

I think it works great, you can survive some pretty nasty hits if your arms soak it

[frail veldt]

after doing muay thai elbows are much more appealing to me than just boring jabs and hooks

[onyx moon]

kindness and forbearance

[graceful shoal]

Just need brawl AI to be more dangerous

[odd raptor]

ill try it later but usually it just ended up getting my arms disabled the second they were punched

or maybe its cuz i had 0 muscle

[graceful shoal]

Paper mache willie

[onyx moon]

tumble

[graceful shoal]

Lolol yeah probably

[slow harness]

I feel like the AI in the demo "thought" better than in the beta

[frail veldt]

has anyone made fist thrusts work? seems like you have to be real quick with it for it to not feel stupid

[odd raptor]

real talk though yall ever forget to heal after losing then did the barrel job only to get knocked out by the barrel?

[graceful shoal]

Yes, for making space like in boxing

[slow harness]

I've only done it a few times, usually just stick with the hooks

[graceful shoal]

Not for a strike, more to push their head back and set the distance

[odd raptor]

alt thrust or double click thrust

or are they both the same

my willie just does the trademark gazelle punch every time

[graceful shoal]

Who knows those seem to change every hot fix lolol

[odd raptor]

ik the arming sword has 2 different thrusts depending on the mode

[frail veldt]

like this is just a bizarre form for a jab and it doesnt seem possible to make willie aim his arm in front of him rather than throw it out to the side like that

[odd raptor]

thats why i confused

[onyx moon]

aint this for swords though

so you could sorta thrust the sword thru

might be me

[frail veldt]

actually no im wrong this might just be a bug, it seems the weird form only happens with the right arm and the left one jabs normally

[lucid juniper]

I miss the pre demo conversion phase of hand to hand combat it was impossible and I liked that

[graceful shoal]

Yeah right and left thrusts w/ both double click and alt are distinct

Im not sure if its broken or intended, but its weird either way

[frail veldt]

like these two are the same movement

[onyx moon]

bro this does no damage

[odd raptor]

how do you achieve this form

[remote crypt]

It probably has to do with the rondel having a different stabbing track

[odd raptor]

when i try to jab my willie does this

[onyx moon]

bro got surprised

[graceful shoal]

For some reason a lot of one handed weapons (single fist included) right hand stabs with alt hold are like, a high guard thats kinda useless

[odd raptor]

now hes doing this and its kinda hilarious

[graceful shoal]

Cool in very limited scenarios but generally shit

[frail veldt]

im testing it out now, with the right arm this happens if you aim your thrust to the left, if you aim it to the right he jabs in front of him

with the left arm both directions work fine

[odd raptor]

the alt thrust just feels very inconsistent compared to double clicking with fists

[onyx moon]

jolly adventure

[frail veldt]

with the right you can ONLY thrust to the right, thrusting to the left results in this roman salute type gesture

[onyx moon]

how jolly will this be

[odd raptor]

i was thinking more like i was about to start boogying down

[frail veldt]

less brainrotted than i

[odd raptor]

i mean i understood because of the elon musk incident a while back

[onyx moon]

graphics upgrade

[frail veldt]

also just discovered thrusting straight ahead works with the right arm too but in an actual fight it's gonna be hard to make such a controlled movement, aiming to the right is likely way more reliable

just minimize your chances of swinging your mouse to the left lol

you can also not do left hand jabs at all with your guard raised, every thrust only uses the right arm

you have to drop your guard to thrust with the left arm

[onyx moon]

welp

[frail veldt]

they are taking their time with this one im hoping that means it'll bring some well needed fixes

[primal geyser]

Apparently they went on break so they haven't been working on the game for all this time

just a couple days

[frail veldt]

im not too pressed if that's the case since they've been working overtime

[onyx moon]

gave dude the kane

[frail veldt]

as long as it's temporary lol

[onyx moon]

half blue half brown eyes

[frail veldt]

please dont let this game turn into exanima where devs spend 4 years drinkin coffee instead of releasing the god damn patch

[molten parrot]

do they plan on adding much to the game?

[frail veldt]

yeah a lot of stuff is planned

[molten parrot]

is there a thing that says the plans?

[frail veldt]

not that i know of i've just heard it second hand from mods and community leaders in here

a roadmap would be nice at some point

[molten parrot]

yuh

what things have you heard of that are coming?

because ive kinda done everything there is to do at the moment lol

but i think the idea of a replay system and a thing that shows you where you've injured them or been injured would be really cool, idont know how hard that would be to implement though

[frail veldt]

i think expanding the story primarily and adding more gamemodes, making free mode way better than it currently is

apparently expanding into other cultures is a "maybe someday" right now

multiplayer is a "if we're lucky" type beat i think

[primal geyser]

If they give us this I'll be able to happily keep myself busy until full release https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1473008929616433334

[frail veldt]

i think i'd prefer refining existing systems over adding new ones for the time being at least

forging could do with improvements and bug fixing, physics improvements are a given, that sorta thing

[molten parrot]

this is cool

[onyx moon]

what a kick

[primal geyser]

I think it would be a relatively small expansion to add what I'm asking, since they already have the equipment system and the rule sets coded. Just need to switch things around and let us use it in free mode.

[molten parrot]

also i dont know if everyone else has had the problem but ive had the issue of my barons poleaxe or whatever the weapon is called keeps getting stuck in the ground

[primal geyser]

Oh yeah long polearms get stuck all the time

[last saddle]

so no more updates?

[frail veldt]

it would still take designing the UI around it and making that functional too, bare in mind this is also their first game so im not sure how much is too much to ask lol

[molten parrot]

also idk if its just realistic or not but i wish swords were atleast a bit better, they feel useless against armour and i feel like they do no blunt damage, might be a skill issue but idk

[frail veldt]

i've made some heavy ass swords and it still took quite a few bonks in the head for the willie to reel back at all if he was wearing armor

[primal geyser]

I think its intentional as swords are just bad against armor in real life, but they are adding alternate grips in the future like the mordschlag, where you use the other end of your sword like a club. That should work against armor at least a little

[frail veldt]

i thought the name for that was mordhau

[onyx moon]

why did he do that

[frail veldt]

[gleaming lodge]

Yoo imagine halfsword gladiator battles against huge animals

I know ball

[molten parrot]

oh swords are actually bad against armour? ik like cutting through yes but i still feel like a good bonk would knock you tf out

[frail veldt]

if it's a heavy sword a bonk would definitely hurt, most swords werent heavy tho

[dire zephyr]

i broke his entire back and killed him with one single kick https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/m8F3qpKNFsuQjuMV0?invite=cr-MSxNOEIsNTI3NTk0Mjcy&v=15

[primal geyser]

yeah there's a couple of names for the same move, but mordhau is one of them

[frail veldt]

estocs were made for piercing armor and were quite good at it but i have not successfully made one thats good for that purpose

[onyx moon]

can i

[molten parrot]

also i cant put an image in here i wanted to show that i found it cool that he was still alive after i cut his eye out

when i say alive i mean still fighting lol

[primal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/royal-rumble-royal-rumble-wwe-gif-24679663

[frail veldt]

my theory on this is that estoc blades don't seem to be in the game yet so what i've been making have basically just been VERY long daggers

that only sort of look like estocs

[molten parrot]

what does estoc mean?

[onyx moon]

literally what ive been thinking everytime i tossed someone out

[frail veldt]

it's a specific type of sword with a triangular blade made for piercing armor that were common in the time period

[sharp thunder]

practicing switch hands + cinematic barrel collapse lol

[primal geyser]

to be precise (no pun intended) they were used to stab into the gaps in the armor, not to actually pierce plate. That is almost impossible with a blade

[frail veldt]

true just said that for brevity

[primal geyser]

fair enough

[onyx moon]

I DID NOT MEAN TO DO THAT

my ribs

[limber imp]

is the amd blood glitch fixed?

planning to upgrade to like a 6600

[onyx moon]

hm?

[molten parrot]

im surprised i still have fps issues with a 5070 TI

[humble hazel]

I have to throw away my previous opinion on the new Abyss.
I still miss the old Abyss but I never had a better time to learn to space the enemy then in the new Abyss

[slow harness]

I have a 2060 and my fps isn't bad

[sharp thunder]

what cpu?

[slow harness]

If you put it in full screen and not borderless it's a lot better btw

[indigo arch]

works on amd cards now yes

[thorny whale]

we need to be able to do pommel strikes easier

overhead ones atleast

[next minnow]

How do I get my willie big

I am now realising the poor choice of words

[thorny whale]

burn stamina to gain muscle

we need to be able to do this

[errant pilot]

👀

[onyx moon]

gave him a fresh style

[next minnow]

I’m at max but he’s still small, just bulked up

[thorny whale]

i dont think theres a way to grow taller

[errant pilot]

oh like taller? thats at the start only

[next minnow]

I wanna get him like the champions

[errant pilot]

stature

[next minnow]

Hmm maybe that’s it

Here I go doing another progression run

[wicked depot]

nice

[chrome axle]

when i go into stab mode with a short dagger how do i make my character pull back the blade low and not high

[errant pilot]

This was an L btw, relaunched a few times and it eventually made me create a new Willy. 130 day streak and 8 baron wins gone lol

[onyx moon]

"willie aint got hops" you sure?

[indigo arch]

does willie get gains in freemode

[onyx moon]

im gonna clear the fence yo

nvm

it doesnt let me hop over

[frail veldt]

would very much appreciate more submission fights in higher rank than just everything being knockdown or first blood

[solemn wedge]

can anyone confirm me that the "sharpness" of a blade merely depends on its weight?

regardless of movement speed or anything else

[frail veldt]

sort of? lighter blades slice easily, heavy ones chop better

light also stabs better

[solemn wedge]

that's what I thought, but sometimes feels like a heavy messer can slice up someone by just caressing him lol

while a ligther blades requires so much more force

was it the case in the demo too?

[frail veldt]

what arm and shoulder armor combos did you guys find restrict swordplay the least while still providing some protection

[cerulean pivot]

does half sword have a up to date wiki?

[frail veldt]

no the wiki's very barren rn

[onyx moon]

holy

[cerulean pivot]

oh

[onyx moon]

the dude got slammed ont othe ground OVER THE FENCE.

and now i clear the fence

[frail veldt]

funny how this community's advice is all over the place

you can have 10 different people here, all claiming to have 10,000 hours in demo, all saying completely different things

reflects the game's unpredictability i suppose

[odd raptor]

well that goes to show how many different playstyles are effective too

[hollow berry]

i swear blunt weapons became insane against flesh in EA, did they add internal bleeding or smth?

[odd raptor]

i like the freedom

[frail veldt]

usually discussions are more centered around "is this a skill issue or the game's fault" rather than what playstyles are effective

[odd raptor]

thats also true

i think half of my messages have been asking about outlandish things

the mods are active today wow

[frail veldt]

probably makes the game more enjoyable than taking it seriously

[odd raptor]

i mean at least imo the bugs make the game funnier and thus more enjoyable

[wicked depot]

I believe its actually cuz sharp weapons operate under a completely different physics system. On my computer, sometimes sharp weapons cannot cut at all ever, and thats probably because its not right on my cpu

And thats probably why people are having such vastly different experiences

[idle crane]

Listen here pal, as the leader of the flippy floppy guild and having 1 million hours in this game let me tell you something. You are playing this game incredibly wrong. Why are you using a silly sword, just call in a tactical nuke and be done with it.

[odd raptor]

sometimes it gets frustrating but that just depends on what you end up losing

[frail veldt]

gore settings or swing form maybe? i had an easier time with swords when i got more used to swinging properly

gore settings also benefit sharp weapons lol

i've heard some ppl say the physics differ based on framerate so genuinely could be that too it's anyones guess

[wicked depot]

Normal gore settings

[wicked depot]

You tell me

Yes exactly thats my point

But blunt weapons seem to work well regardless

Which is probably part of why everyones saying its the only viable weapon

[onyx moon]

willie got insane jumps

[odd raptor]

do you consider normal like in the middle or maxed out

[wicked depot]

Was literally sawing willies face off and not a scratch

Yes middle

[frail veldt]

my game runs way better and fights with a sword against armored enemies typically go the same way lol

[odd raptor]

weapons are most effective ive found at max gore

[wicked depot]

That dude has no armor where im sawing

[odd raptor]

i think lowering it makes things like dismembering either harder or just not happen

[wicked depot]

I was literally like diddling his face with a sword i dont understand

[onyx moon]

superman punch

[frail veldt]

if i really had to put my 🤓 glasses on for that clip i would say most of your swings arent going anywhere near him and the ones that did clip him are just the blade grazing him

it takes a bit of luck and effort to cut someone's throat in a clinch, they are resisting after all and trying to shove and kick you off

[onyx moon]

ohh shi

[wicked depot]

Is the sword not resting on his face

Like what do you mean

[odd raptor]

it looked like he was going for the opening in the mask

[errant pilot]

youre sliding your blade on his helemt

[odd raptor]

not the throat

though it couldve been gliding on the visor of the helmet

i wouldve gone for a poke rather than a slice in that position tho

[errant pilot]

its sliding across the faceplate, if the opening allowed a sword to slice horizontally it would be useless

[frail veldt]

resting on his face is only enough on very high gore settings, on lower ones you need some power for the swing, to some extent this is true IRL too, blades need friction to cut and just grabbing a knife by the blade won't cut your hand unless you move your hand across it

[wicked depot]

That battle was over 10 minutes long and no luck

I clipped the clip

[onyx moon]

2nd superman punch

[wicked depot]

That was the most skin contact for longest time

[frail veldt]

also you are using a heavy sword which definitely needs some power in the swing to chop

a light sword likely would've cut his throat

[errant pilot]

you need to use alt attacks if youre using a sword v heavy armor

or go for the back of the legs

[odd raptor]

yea i think you can universally stab people on most gore settings i think? but dismembering on lower gore is out of the question (i THINK?)

[frail veldt]

genuinely so much easier said than done at higher ranks

[odd raptor]

i only played on low gore for the demo final challenge so dont grill me too hard

[frail veldt]

they will not really let you waddle on over behind them to get at the backs of their thighs

[onyx moon]

got so bad he spitting out different blood

[errant pilot]

you stab between the legs then swap stance

[covert tulip]

OK SO WHAT IS THAT LIKE HEAD PART ON THE FIRST BODY

LIS THAT HIS FACE

[errant pilot]

Didnt get a full Baron set without strats

[frail veldt]

how you manage to aim a stab between their legs without willie insisting their stomach is a better target i have no clue

[covert tulip]

i one tapped the baron

with the spiky spear

[onyx moon]

SUPAH MAN PUNCH!!

[odd raptor]

i only go for legs really if i have a polearm of sorts

[odd raptor]

otherwise you have to get way too close and youll more than likely end up getting cracked on the head

[errant pilot]

or long swipe at thighs and ankles to try and stumble them, but that stance v full armor wont do much unless you nail a hilt smash

[odd raptor]

and my guy has a despondency to actually getting up once he crouches even a little so

[errant pilot]

this stance*

[covert tulip]

what is this meant to do

he can just suplex you

[frail veldt]

"willie stab at their chest"
-"nono milord, their armored bicep is a far better target right now"

"willie stab at their legs they're not wearing any armor there"
-"how could i milord when their curiass is right there begging to get stabbed"

"willie he legit doesn't have a helmet just stab him in the face"
-"but milord the air next to their ear is clearly better, that way they'll be too scared to finish their swing"

[odd raptor]

yea i was assuming half sword stance if not using polearm

[onyx moon]

a superman punch reversed into a suplex?

dont think so

[covert tulip]

he can grab ur arm while ur swinging

and throw you

[onyx moon]

no he cant

[covert tulip]

he can

[onyx moon]

cuz hes built like a twig

[covert tulip]

he did it to my leg

[onyx moon]

he got powerbombed to hell anyway

[covert tulip]

he grabbed my leg and threw me

[simple adder]

am i the only one who's game is running way worse after all the patches?

[covert tulip]

yes

[covert tulip]

ur not the only one

[simple adder]

oh

[covert tulip]

im running 30-60 fps on every map

and

i was running

60-120

same settings

[simple adder]

bro i was running 50-80 depending on the map and now im at 5

legitimately wont go past 5-10fps

even in the menu

[covert tulip]

i run 5 on buhurts

[covert tulip]

menu lags me too

u can tell when ur lagging as ur cursor is slow

when ur high fps it goes faster

[simple adder]

yea very

[near grotto]

Optimization update coming 2017

[onyx moon]

what in the 6 man match is this

6 ppl free for all is the worst idea

[covert tulip]

the one with gold armor is gonna win

[simple adder]

i could run the demo on high settings at 60+ fps on everything but buhurt but i really cant even play the cellar anymore

[covert tulip]

Its because of ue4 and ue5

most of willies body parts and optimized

neither are foilage or textures

[simple adder]

was the demo in ue4?

[covert tulip]

i think?

[simple adder]

i thought it was also ue5

hmm

[rare hearth]

no

ue5

[covert tulip]

idk about the demo

[simple adder]

yea makes sense

[rare hearth]

just a different version

though

[frail veldt]

also how the fuck do you guys land any stabs in third person? i basically HAVE to be in 1st person to stab or else it's impossible cuz i cant see where my fuckin sword is going

[rare hearth]

in the demo my pc DIES when i have more than 1 willie im against

in ea my game can handle like 4 willies with little performance hits

[simple adder]

what about ea

bruh

[rare hearth]

though when its 6 like the riot my pc dies

[simple adder]

my pc could play the ffa mode without any perf issues in the demo but i cant even get into a fucking match now

[tropic vortex]

how can i active the frame generation, i have an rtx 2060 6gb

[rare hearth]

try running dx12 instead of dx11

[simple adder]

ive tried both

[rare hearth]

oh

[simple adder]

the onyl difference is that for some reason the blood looked better on dx12 and it ran slightly better until the last update

[covert tulip]

me love burger willie love burger

[tropic vortex]

can you answer methis quingous?

[onyx moon]

hopped a bit too far

oh lawd

holy moly screw you then willie

dudes just breathing in and out and not recovering

[dense token]

Bets on kronk against willie

[tame barn]

I helped a drunk patron to find their home :D

[onyx moon]

scream now little willie

[fiery yew]

He looks well : D

[tame barn]

WHERE IS THE QUIVER

[covert tulip]

kg?

[onyx moon]

94

[covert tulip]

what

[errant pilot]

small box beside crossbow box

[covert tulip]

how is ur guy buffer than mine

im on 94 kg

[onyx moon]

idk

[tame barn]

ive spawned over 10 challenges and i still didn't find a single quiver

[errant pilot]

yeah it spawns less often than the bow itself it seems lol

[soft osprey]

RNG is not in your favor

[errant pilot]

but i had 4 in a rown quiver no bow

[dense token]

Lowkey think kronk won

[onyx moon]

i think this is what they call an f5

..

even my guy got shocked and fell back down

[frail veldt]

like help me out here anyone with a lot of experience stabbing, this entire clip is just me trying to stab him in the chest and my sword goes anywhere but his chest, i've only managed any degree of precision with short weapons but anything long and stabby just leads to this bullshit happening

[tame barn]

ok i fouund one but it didn't have any bolts in it

im tired im gonna play valorant goodbye

[onyx moon]

he held on

HES STILL HOLDING ON

OH MY GOD

[errant pilot]

you just need to equip it

then when you use the crossbow youll have a bolt every round

[dense token]

Bro konk just kicked bro once and he died instantly

[spring tapir]

Is there a way to completely wipe and restart

[soft osprey]

Check pinned messages

[onyx moon]

im never doing a superman punch again

[covert tulip]

heres a tip get off first person

and aim above his head

because ur weapon drops down

[frail veldt]

i literally can not aim at all in third person because i can't see where my stabs are going at all, im in first so i can see whats actually happening

[covert tulip]

whats ur fov

[frail veldt]

my character's obscuring the tip of my sword in tpp

[short arrow]

can someone upload an image to #photography📷 for me, I found a new angle to my photo in there and I wanna include it in there without waiting 30 minutes

[covert tulip]

i can.

[frail veldt]

maxed out

[onyx moon]

oh you still moving?

[short arrow]

tysm

[covert tulip]

no idea how u cant see ur strikes then

[onyx moon]

little willie byo

boyo

hittin cheap shots

[frail veldt]

bc my willie's in the way and hes too fat

i can see swings just fine, with stabs i basically have to be in first person or it's a complete mystery as to where im actually stabbing

since my character model obscures the entirety of my sword in a stab

[covert tulip]

if im gonna be honest with u

alting or trying to stab with spears or longswords isnt that good right now

[frail veldt]

thats what im gathering specifically because precision just seems impossible

aside from doing wonky stuff that feels exploity like entering halfsword stance mid thrust to make your blade magnetize towards your left hand

[tame barn]

OH GOD WHAT DID I DO

[frail veldt]

im all for people having their fun but man this chat constantly getting flooded with people clipping or screenshotting their 200kg brawls is getting a lil grating, it's been a month of this now

you get like 7 screencaps a day of some 15 ft tall willie holding a beggar with one arm

[onyx moon]

am i good

i might be

throwing people but im natty

[soft osprey]

Better get used to it, everything halfsword goes in this channel

Learn to LOVE it

[tame barn]

im so sorry little one

[onyx moon]

i failed a j ump

[frail veldt]

i did at first but they're all the same thing!

you see a big and imposing fella looking down on some submitting peasant for the 20th time and it loses its luster

[onyx moon]

SUPERMAN PUNCH

finally one i landed

second one

[odd raptor]

yo what the hell is gracing my eyes rn

[sharp thunder]

why did he die like this

[dapper tulip]

he saw the king so he is showing respect

[dapper tulip]

bc you killed an artist

[sharp thunder]

swan lake ahh 😭

[onyx moon]

willie aint got hops?

no mods btw

[dapper tulip]

which one are you

[onyx moon]

the guy in the air

[tame barn]

i feel like a monster...

[dapper tulip]

nan that something normal

[onyx moon]

would girls obsess over willie 🤔

[zealous saddle]

bros not givin up

i had to crack his back for him to give uo

[soft osprey]

I obsess over Willie

[zealous saddle]

yall got that feeling when you are about to loose but you hit that one move that saved you

[onyx moon]

yes i

[zealous saddle]

elaborate

[onyx moon]

superman punched a guy and gave him a concussion

[zealous saddle]

mods?

[onyx moon]

nope

[zealous saddle]

then how on gods green earth did you jump that high

[onyx moon]

i dunno

i can jump this high too

[peak lava]

this is sick

[zealous saddle]

do ytall have any suggestions on how i can train to not fail in a 1v1 me vs a poleaxe

[onyx moon]

uh oh

[low juniper]

NEW DEMO UPDATE!!

[zealous saddle]

just buy the thing

[low juniper]

i do have it

[onyx moon]

supahman punch

[low juniper]

i still prefer demo,not saying early access is bad tho

[onyx moon]

i missed this one 😔

[zealous saddle]

ahh sorry theb

ahh shit

12 SOULDS?!

[low juniper]

tho really glad,that devs care about demo even after release

[low juniper]

oh uh

hope they are at least peasant souls

[onyx moon]

powerbomb

[zealous saddle]

yeah

cause i resete my character at least i tried

[onyx moon]

why do you always gotta do this

this is why i hate the willies

[zealous saddle]

ill just uhh collect some gold cups for profiut

[sweet agate]

half sword

[zealous saddle]

ill let this little guy follow me

[river osprey]

is there any way to make this dog ass willy not fall down when he tries to pick up his own weapon?

[zealous saddle]

while i collect cups

[zealous saddle]

noo

what is my guy doin

NO FUCKING WAY I DEID

[quasi gale]

Why do Willie act dumb when picking up items he used to pick things up swiftly now you'll barely ever be able to grab a weapon without falling on ya face

[crimson crypt]

Guys, how do you change the map in Half?

[frozen wyvern]

Go for headshots, a slight swing of the poleaxe combined with walking into the swing can do good work to knockdown an opponent

Keep your weapon raised to protect your head, anticipate anything that might hit your head and avoid it

Oh and footwork

[zealous saddle]

i can bearly raise the pole axe

[frozen wyvern]

What’s your character’s weight?

[zealous saddle]

idk i died

[frozen wyvern]

First time in playing EA progression?

[zealous saddle]

i came all the way to veteran the i died and idk how to start over no money no nothing

[frozen wyvern]

Long range weapons should get you through the earlier bits, the flail is comparatively easy to use with weak characters

[zealous saddle]

no no i mean how do i reset all my progess money, inventory, avatar, rank

[frozen wyvern]

Ohh

[tired raptor]

delete the save, check pins for steps

[zealous saddle]

how

[frozen wyvern]

If you search on this discord I think there’s instructions

[zealous saddle]

oke

[tired raptor]

pin

[frozen wyvern]

Seem to remember conversations

[buoyant ravine]

dawg were you on fucking retribution or something

[supple crystal]

review is staying negative until this stupid trash is fixed

the literal primary challenge of the game for me at this point is "my character keeps forgetting how to hold his weapon"

[buoyant ravine]

is that the reason when my guy swings a small weapon sometimes it feels like hes swinging a 90kg bag of apples?

[supple crystal]

that doesn't fix it, it just randomly pretzels again afterwards

[frozen wyvern]

Weakest wrists in the west

[supple crystal]

this should never happen

instead it happens FUCKING CONSTANTLY

[crimson crypt]

Guys, how do you change the map in Half?

[buoyant ravine]

also these devs need to fix the alt button when using thrust mode why the fuck does my guy hold it like hes a master samurai ready to parry

[supple crystal]

this game is just brimming with crappy design

why does my weapon suddenly hit an airbrake and not swing?

[buoyant ravine]

i feel as if a delay may have been needed but they didnt wanna kill the hype

well it should be a button instead of in thrust mode

[supple crystal]

they should have gotten the core right before making a whole ass game. too many fundamental problems that they haven't worked on at all

[buoyant ravine]

maybe this shouldnt have been made in ue5

they should have done this in unity or ue4

[supple crystal]

its spaghetti code on spaghetti code

until they fix this shit, yeah

they spent 4 years making this game and never worked on the major problems

[buoyant ravine]

devs should have thought about what made the demo bad instead they focused on physics and graphics and hair

the demo was trash with its physics

literally crashed when you heard willie scream when he hits the ground

[supple crystal]

especially if you just leave it at a janky ass first draft and say "yep good enough" and then move onto the next thing

i mean every version of the game has had this same stupid problem where your characters wrists invert and the weapon is flopping around

[buoyant ravine]

What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“The game is fully playable, stable, and already highly enjoyable. While you may encounter occasional minor bugs, there shouldn’t be any major issues." my ass

minor bugs my ass this game is a entire bug itself

[still cove]

no 4090 cry

[supple crystal]

no, don't "skill issue" me with that shit, it's objectively a problem and it needs to be fixed, just because there's a workaround doesn't mean it's acceptable

[buoyant ravine]

im on a fucking rtx 4060 this game still runs like shit half of the time

the graphics arent the problem its the physics

[supple crystal]

i'm on a 4070 ti super and the game runs like absolute dogshit, even on lowest

[supple crystal]

its both

[still cove]

idk bro maybe your muscles are just weak

[supple crystal]

if i enable foliage on the forest map my fps drops from 50 to 20

[buoyant ravine]

if your not gonna contribute to this conversation then dont reply to this convo

thats bullshit

[gentle wigeon]

Oh wow can't believe my 6th or was it 7th time of killing the Baron I get useless complete identical foulds 😐 same foulds just renamed with Baron 😭 🙏 THANKS GAME

Have you given any of these a try?
https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1471407776835305483

[still cove]

? did you even build muscle on your character and improve the handling stats

?

[buoyant ravine]

even more bullshit xD frame gen and dlss doesnt help with this alot of the time

[buoyant ravine]

yes but my guy is still weak

im constantly burning stamina

not really

[supple crystal]

yes, tried all that already

[dense token]

roblox half sword

[frozen wyvern]

Personally I think EA is really fun

[dense token]

It is especially with kronk

[buoyant ravine]

true but sometimes the game is rigged against you

[supple crystal]

it's fun when the major problems aren't preventing you from doing things, which is sometimes

[buoyant ravine]

atleast it feels like it is

[little verge]

There are diminishing returns, excess stamina burning provides no extra strength development.

[buoyant ravine]

pretty sure the game literallysays "Burn stamina to grow your muslces"

thats literally burning stamina though

being exhausted is burning stamina

[little verge]

Correct, it still has diminishing returns excess stamina exhaustion will not continue to develop your strength.

[buoyant ravine]

what if stamina literally does nothing with your muscles ad its just your rank

so far ive been burning stamina for hours on peasant tier and not a inch of muscle grown

[supple crystal]

i've reached 1.0 weight in beggar tier, so no

[buoyant ravine]

well maybe my saves trippin

[little verge]

It has nothing to do with rank.

Weight of items carried + Amount of Stamina burnt.

[tender quest]

that was to something else, check message log

[little verge]

If you have not gotten a response you have not met the criteria for moderation.

[buoyant ravine]

so ive been rejected or do i need to resumbit?

i mean shit, i can take the survey again maybe they didnt get my message

i think i sumbitted mine in december or last month

As stated in the mod application candidates that me the criteria will be contacted.

Unfortunately sending thousands of rejections is not a viable use of my time.

[buoyant ravine]

can i take it again or nah?

[vapid hull]

hi you !

[supple crystal]

@buoyant ravine if you want to be mod that badly, you probably shouldn't be mod

[humble iris]

take a hint pal!

[buoyant ravine]

i may not be active all the time but ive been an admin in a server before it was a short server but i knew what i was doing

[mental kelp]

I tried getting mod when clueless and milly were axed since they clearly had openings, but not even that worked 😂

[little verge]

Absolute Bonkers!

-# Baaaa. You can change your fursona your still the sheep to me.

[buoyant ravine]

did clueless get kicked out the mod team or was his time up for being a mod

[vapid hull]

I hope that doesn't happen again soon hahaaa

If you submitted this month applications have not been processed yet for February.

[vapid hull]

Ohh its monthly?

[buoyant ravine]

i just kinda wanna take the survey again. i just think being a mod would be good for my time as i dont do much aside from being a couch potato and taking online meetings

every day

they are long

[little verge]

A moth would go hard ngl. Metamorphosis stages gives allot of room for experimentation.

[vapid hull]

Riiight??? They're super duper cool, and I've always loved bug peoplee

I'm basing my guy off of the dreeam fellas from hollow knight a little bit

[little verge]

Indeed. It's much easier to handle them in large batches then process them in the trickles they come in.

[mental kelp]

Yea but I also had one a month before in January so I think it’s cooked

[little verge]

Still have not played it. Not much of a platform enjoyer. Spelunky was the last one I really got into.

[vapid hull]

Ohh I didn't know thattt okay, super good to knowwskies

[mental kelp]

I waited a month vefore putting another in

[buoyant ravine]

Hollow Knight aint my jam. just aint for me. tbh the games getting glazed by tiktok and other stuff

i guess i just dont exist

no one is answering me

[vapid hull]

It's good fun if you don't mind dying 30 times in 2 minuites!!! :D

[vapid hull]

It's a great game, but I can see whyygf

[humble iris]

Correc t

[buoyant ravine]

where can i take the survey again to re-attempt to become a mod here

i dont hate it

i just have concerns for this game

a small team with this much issues? i have the right to voice my concerns

[supple crystal]

if someone hated the game they wouldnt be in here playing and giving feedback

this game is in terrible shape

I mean I have been playing HS since the early days. Dying 30 times in 2 mintues sounds like the Itch build.

[supple crystal]

you literally called him a "hater of the game"

[buoyant ravine]

jesus fucking christ do you think just because im criticizing a game means i hate it? no half sword will always hold a big place in my heart as half sword is the reason i got a pc

lets not jump to conclusions and actually start observing the stuff we say

[humble iris]

itd always be that damned giant axe too

[little verge]

Bottom of the #faq.

[buoyant ravine]

we dont all need to be lazy here

doesnt mean i hate it

now stop calling me a hater

[supple crystal]

unnecessary how? the game has problems, we are trying to get the devs to fix the problems

[buoyant ravine]

thanks. i will admit i dont check faq

[supple crystal]

if we hated the game we just wouldn't be here, like when i gave up on "we who are about to die" because the dev is a dunce

[buoyant ravine]

i mean it is about half sword

[vapid hull]

Thats so reallll but its that but without the progress

[buoyant ravine]

technically on topic

[vapid hull]

I got stuck on the spikes 😭

[supple crystal]

david is clearly a kid so i'm just gonna ignore him

[buoyant ravine]

brusied i guess... must be strong

[supple crystal]

that's embarassing, you're an adult who acts like a 12 year old?

[buoyant ravine]

your time on a platform isnt an excuse to prove your not acting childish. i dont know what time i joined discord pretty sure it was in 2022 or 2023 and i act like a child lots of the time but im very mature lots of the time

we are all children but we can also be mature

[quartz escarp]

anyone know why i cant equip my vanbraces and shoulder armor?

[humble iris]

arming doublet

need that

[buoyant ravine]

You probably got chains on a doublet

[humble iris]

99% sure anyways

[quartz escarp]

oh the gambeson is a no-go?

[vapid thunder]

does strength progress at an accelerated rate in the abyss?

[humble iris]

yeah if you want to put on some more armor (like on your legs and arms) you need specific gear

[supple crystal]

nobody skewed your words, you're literally constantly contradicting yourself

[buoyant ravine]

i read lots of messages and calling me a hater because i am voicing out my concerns for the current state of this game is quite childish

[vapid thunder]

i find it really hard to use pollaxes there and i wonder if thats why

[humble iris]

and in your situation you need a arming doublet

[buoyant ravine]

that sentence says your acting like a child. really? the nerd emoji? childish if you ask me xD

[quartz escarp]

oml i just got completely destroyed by the game

[vapid thunder]

its really good if you dont have cuisses or vambraces et, otherwise ditch it

[quartz escarp]

im economically ruined because removing chains from my armor literally deleted my stuff

[buoyant ravine]

not as hard as dark souls but nah this game is hard as hell even on easy mode xD

[quartz escarp]

my vanbraces got deleted and now my shoulder armor

[quartz escarp]

yeah no dark souls doesnt delete your armor

[vapid thunder]

what? nah

[quartz escarp]

ive got 10 coins to my name now

[vapid thunder]

ts is easy

[quartz escarp]

and no armor on my arms

[buoyant ravine]

true but peasant is a hard tier

[vapid thunder]

tru

[humble iris]

early game is difficult

[vapid thunder]

i was lucky to relaize i could steal shit early on

[quartz escarp]

peasant and farmer is atrocious

[humble iris]

mid-late is a cake walk

[buoyant ravine]

alright shut the hell up please we are done with this conversation

[buoyant ravine]

true. like why the fuck the enemies get the good weapons while my broke ass got a hoe and they got full on plot armor and gang up on me and i get dawged on

[humble iris]

Finally brah

[buoyant ravine]

cant defend myself bro xD

[near grotto]

1000th pointless argument in half sword chat

[little verge]

Yeah man back when you could hit yourself with weapons that axe was a nightmare.

[buoyant ravine]

thats discord for you

thought you said you were done boi

why dont you just make one yourself

[humble iris]

you could hit yourself back then ?

[buoyant ravine]

back when realism was taken seriously on this game

[humble iris]

i was just referencing to how easy it dismembered me when going against it but yeah that also sounds like a pain in the ass

[buoyant ravine]

imagine being a knight and your fighting many people sweatign your ass off decked in full armor only for your goddamn greatsword to whiplash towards your throat and slice you. man that would be a pain in the ass but lowkey funny

[little verge]

You could. There was also a build of 0.3 demo you could hurt yourself in. It was patched out after many requests.

[humble iris]

i see

[buoyant ravine]

so do i get an email when the request to be a mod is read?

[vapid hull]

I GOT CLIPPPED 😭

[little verge]

As I stated previously you will only be contacted if your responses me the criteria we are looking for.

[buoyant ravine]

hey man no offense but you should probably change what your thinking about in your profile. its kinda weird. itsl iek your bio or something

[buoyant ravine]

but where or how do i get contacted?

thats the question im asking

[humble iris]

ive had that as my status \for as long as i can remember

[little verge]

Discord.

[buoyant ravine]

ok

[buoyant ravine]

brother... do you use the right shift button to type? or were you trying to hit enter? xD

[humble iris]

Ye

[buoyant ravine]

my grammar sucks i think

[humble iris]

Wh t

[buoyant ravine]

how did i screw up that many times

[humble iris]

what does what mean

it means what it says

yea h

[humble iris]

oh that

[little verge]

-# I can hear them coming.

[humble iris]

Ye i mean there isnt much to say about that

[buoyant ravine]

then change it

[humble iris]

why do you care so much

[little verge]

#general-catfish-🐱🐟

[humble iris]

its not harming anyone nor should you be paying any mind to it

[sleek hollow]

gotta say, i do kinda miss the old freeplay's ability to have randomized equipment if you feel like switching the "tier" you're in

[buoyant ravine]

Objection! I summon on-topic half sword clip

Mcwisenbeast

[little verge]

One of the nicest variations I have received.

[hidden schooner]

crayfish please

[buoyant ravine]

I get it now

well lets not talk about that shit here

considering he just admitted it

hes probably cooked

you literally just admitted who your pfp is

[jolly nexus]

Never forget about him

[buoyant ravine]

now, we will not speak of that no further

you lookin to get nuked too?

[humble iris]

No don't nuke anyone

[buoyant ravine]

damn... those look good

[humble iris]

that could cause a fallout

[gilded breach]

Turned the chat into reference central

[buoyant ravine]

i think i could get some fine bitches with those garments

[hidden schooner]

brigandines with lance rests

[gilded breach]

Noone is changing anything

[buoyant ravine]

hey do you think the game will feature jousting or one of them lance spears

[little verge]

All non-game related conversations need to be moved to #general-catfish-🐱🐟

maybe idk

[lavish summit]

How do I reset my progress in HalfSword? It crashed during the trailer loading screen and I couldn't customize my character nor change my weapon or anything.

[gilded breach]

Make half sword bosses again

[buoyant ravine]

verify steam files

unless you got it another way

wrong emoji

whatever

back to half sword

[lavish summit]

it only crashed once

[small glen]

these remind of stuff from the Pastrana Tapestries

[buoyant ravine]

verify them just in case

[lavish summit]

I just need to reset my progress

[gilded breach]

In local appdata delete gameprogress.sav

[humble iris]

^

[buoyant ravine]

does he know where appdata is?

[lavish summit]

win + r?

[buoyant ravine]

C:\Users\leema\AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\SaveGames

[lavish summit]

is it this

[buoyant ravine]

yes

[gilded breach]

Yes

[lavish summit]

Delete that?

[buoyant ravine]

delete it or rename it

[lavish summit]

Is that all

[buoyant ravine]

better yet modify it

use ue save editor

its what i use to make my guy pick up williles like toy soldiers

[humble iris]

yes

[buoyant ravine]

https://trumank.github.io/uesave/

[humble iris]

now try restarting your game and click progression

iirc it will create a fresh gameprogess.sav

that (hopefully) will fix ur issue

[gilded breach]

It does

[lavish summit]

It didnt work

🥀

[humble iris]

Gg

[buoyant ravine]

verify files like i told you to

[lavish summit]

so what do i do first

[buoyant ravine]

buddy i just fucking told you

[lavish summit]

what do I do first

do I

Verify games files first

or do I delete save games file first

[buoyant ravine]

jesus fucking christ

[gilded breach]

So what exactly is the issue?

[buoyant ravine]

verify files first i guess

thats gonna nuke his demo save as well

if he still plays it

[lavish summit]

i dont play it

[buoyant ravine]

verify steam files first

see if that fixes it

[lavish summit]

it just remakes it as soon as i launch it

[buoyant ravine]

9gb of files takes like 5 minutes to verify depending on the speed

[lavish summit]

it doesnt work

[buoyant ravine]

hes gonnabe just fine

[lavish summit]

like once I load in

[buoyant ravine]

stop trying to make him choose sides. he can pick if he wants to verify steam files or delete the save folder
