[wicked depot]

Like thats just a liability thing

[devout lion]

EA is not an excuse to disappoint your audience

the only thing it should do is to let people know its incomplete

and to allow some forgiveness

but thats about it

unfortunately like I keep saying the release of EA and the EA itself did so many things wrong

[grave pecan]

EA did alot of things bad and good

love how one handed weapons work way better rn

[devout lion]

yeah I noticed one handed weapons are much more workable

[dusky crane]

Id just like a tavern map so I can kill that goddamn jester

[sleek gull]

Yes, but also, the audience needs to set their expectations accordingly.

The truth is, Early Access in reality is an Alpha / Beta test (pending on what phase of EA the game is at).

Right now, 1.5 months after release, we are in Alpha.

[crisp nimbus]

Man this game was free to take for 25 years and now people cry cause their toaster can't run it and because "WHoooooaA" they put a mini game in the trailer that I cannot play = they liar, they exploit us, they eat babies .... CALM DOWN YO!!!

[devout lion]

great exaggeration

[grave pecan]

yo have you seen the slums map

that shit is a actual fully rendered earth bro

[soft osprey]

They didn’t choose to disappoint you lol they released EA for what it is, something incomplete. Lack of forgiveness is from the players end, it’s very obvious the community is vitriolic towards the devs about everything they do going as far as death threats. Come on now. The release wasn’t great on the devs end, absolutely. How the community reacted made me not even want to engage with the community anymore lol

[crisp nimbus]

man I have 900+ hours on HS history and yeah some clipping AND?!?

[sleek gull]

Hilarious typo

[dusky crane]

Hey hey hey fella, going a bit extreme there
I eat babies
You implyin somethin's wrong with that?

[soft osprey]

lol right

[grave pecan]

Hilarious typo 2

[unique ember]

Yall are acting like ea is done with updates. Just because its not here right now doesn't mean its not coming period

[crisp nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-time-hanks-gif-18483042

[devout lion]

• at the end of the day they still disappointed a majority of the people including myself
• obv community backlash was unjustified and sometimes went extreme
• now community feedback is much more rational now that the hate train has passed to an extent

[upper wyvern]

no way someone is sending death threats because of ea people are f crazy nowadays

[grave pecan]

it's probaly a big update

[dusky crane]

Who cares
Youre a chair
Chairs dont get opinions

[unique ember]

Why would you download an early access game and not have the patience for updates

[grave pecan]

whats agonizing is waiting for it

[sleek gull]

its a fact. and it was uncalled for.

[unique ember]

Oh most definitely

[dusky crane]

Carpentated filth

[tight bear]

at most I feel stupid for not waiting till full release.

[dusky crane]

I personally really like ea

[devout lion]

if im a chair then you're a newgen so neither of us have opinions

[soft osprey]

It’s supposed to be a big update yeah, bottom of #updates explains a bit

[unique ember]

Hello hello!

[upper wyvern]

they are the people who shouldnt even have rights to internet

[dusky crane]

No im cool i have aura

[devout lion]

chairs stand there and have aura

[wicked depot]

Did they remove the early access message from the devs on the storepage? It used to say that we'll enjoy the current state of the game iirc

[dusky crane]

Youre sitting in the corner with cobwebs

[stray carbon]

i made 17k phenings holy

[devout lion]

you're probably sitting on one right now

[dusky crane]

I hope a 500+ lb person uses you

[soft osprey]

Not only that but when I called one of the guys a fuckin idiot they went to reddit to use my comment out of context for being abusive, not for me saying that to someone who told the devs to buy a rope and hang themselves with it

[devout lion]

thats just mean

[grave pecan]

this sounds weird off context

[unique ember]

I'm on 21k get your money up not your funny up

[rare hearth]

you should've seen the chat first few days of release

[sleek gull]

On the subject of setting expectations.

Do not correlate the latest in the Announcements channel, with the latest in the Updates channel.

It would be easy to look at them both and assume the Future Features list, is what the Update channel is referring to. It will likely be a small handful of those things, if any of it at all. It Will Not Be The Full List.

[devout lion]

they brought up some crazy ass topics lmaooooo

[grave pecan]

hope they add some sort of ending to the EA

[devout lion]

is the strategy just to expect nothing atp

[unique ember]

99% of times that I've seen a mod call someone a fucking idiot it has been justified

[devout lion]

💀

[grave pecan]

when i got baron's armor i just started modding the game and gave my character inf money cuz there wasnt a baron tier

[wicked depot]

Yeah it was frustrating for people with more reasonable complaints like the gpu stuff

[crisp nimbus]

It's call the FInish access no?

[upper wyvern]

i think i heard of something similiar but still, damn

[sleek gull]

Well, in a way, yes.

"next update will not be a hotfix but a bigger patch, including new content"

All we can expect, is some new content. Nothing more definite than that.

[rare hearth]

full game

[soft osprey]

Expect nothing and you’ll always be pleasantly surprised

[rare hearth]

sadly so far we have to cope with what we have :(

[unique ember]

Expect the best, hope for the worst or however the saying goes

[rare hearth]

im hopeful next update is going to have new fun content, preformance fixes and combat improvements

[sleek gull]

LMAO. Chrome is not on the Dev team ; )

[rare hearth]

[upper wyvern]

i did not see any death threats but i saw a lot of people being so mad about performance etc... everybody who bought ea or the game fresh out of publication knows that the game WILL NEED a patch as fast as possible

[grave pecan]

wonder if they'll do smth about crafting

not really much customization

[rare hearth]

ive seen quite few lmao

[grave pecan]

gets boring after a few times too

[rare hearth]

85 and a half

[sleek gull]

credit where credit is due. They did issue a few patches to help with that. Obvious, we need more...a lot more. But it was something at least lol

[upper wyvern]

thats fd up really

[compact hamlet]

yo wassup james

[crisp nimbus]

Like honestly we didn't expected the EA to have so much stuff already right? RIGHT?!?! And 12 hours later people are allready complaining this and this and this...... This new generation HAS NO PATIENCE it's SCARINGLY SCARY

[upper wyvern]

i wonder what are they thinking

[upper wyvern]

same man

lets support them fr

[unique ember]

Oh whaddup james

[rare hearth]

yeah

[compact hamlet]

gen dont know, I stole ts

[rare hearth]

i still believe in the devs

[compact hamlet]

holy shit, Whatsup james

[sleek gull]

What is this? Ashes of Creation!?

; )

[wicked depot]

Honestly they need to prioritize freeplay. That should be the first thing they added in my opinion

[unique ember]

What the hell?? James!!!

[wicked depot]

Creating loadouts, selecting loadouts for you and opponents, and map selection should have been day 1

[compact hamlet]

OH MY GOD

JAMES

WHATSUP

[rare hearth]

no its
[insert 80% of early access games]

[grave pecan]

i feel like any of the stuff should be later

they should prioritize making the main game feel good

wrists being floppy and shield op stuff

[crisp nimbus]

why people start to say that today lol did i miss something or it's just people who don't undertand that those guys are NOT AAA devs and thus will make something good with the time it will take.

[wicked depot]

Well It would feel better if I could try out different muscle masses with ease. And literally everything else thats in the game

Freeplay just allows you easy access to all the content

[rare hearth]

i meant in the long term

[unique ember]

JAMES

[rare hearth]

im sure the devs are going to update the game

[unique ember]

I have zero clue what is going on

[rare hearth]

i just hope it doesnt stay in early access forever

tbh if they add different maps to freeplay i might get back to playing ea just for fun

I don't know how I avoid that situation. A lot of my steam library is Indie Games. I think I might have 1 that has been abandoned.

Drunken Wrestlers 2

[compact hamlet]

someone knows that game

[grave pecan]

cuz me and the devs ran away with the money some time ago and you guys didn't notice

[upper wyvern]

i f love this game lol

[compact hamlet]

😻

[crisp nimbus]

wow promoting violence on homeless people that ... wow.. ok

[grave pecan]

game is cancelled too so uh yeah sorry

[sleek gull]

Shame it was dropped. It is so fun

[compact hamlet]

??? who said im promoting, I'm breaking the matrix

[grave pecan]

we are working now on half mace now

[rare hearth]

loved this game lol

[compact hamlet]

im showing whats happening in the real world!

[devout lion]

I don't like pessimistic mindsets like that it's better to be reasonably optimistic with expectations rather than to be pessimistic about everything regarding games

[wicked depot]

yall heard of pixel piracy 2

Its not even real

[devout lion]

pessimistic mindsets like that lead to sad lives

[mighty lichen]

It's a question, not a statement.

[compact hamlet]

i don't think he was pessimestic, I think he's saying you gotta be tough or sum

[upper wyvern]

[sleek gull]

I might have played a lot of games lol

[wicked depot]

People with low expectations get bad performances

this is the one i meant

[compact hamlet]

its just hidden hope

you "expect" nothing

but yknow smthn will come

[devout lion]

thats why I said its good to be reasonably optimistic

[devout lion]

I don't like having no faith on games or their developers

[compact hamlet]

i mean, True but you also gotta criticize them sometimes

not all the time ofc

they'd hate their life

[sleek gull]

i'll start with. Fight Night Round 2 is my basis for judging boxing games. It was perfect.

I do like what they did. Lots of technique, good enough graphics to keep me happy, and a decent assortment of configuration of your chosen style.

What I feel lacks in presentation. I want more pomp and theatrics on walk ins, and a bit more variety in the kit options.

As for the boxing itself, its pretty good. I am not a huge fan of "Hold this button to make your punch a powerful punch" I want more player control over that.

[rare hearth]

starbound mentioned

also

[bronze vessel]

im in an alley and i only have one hand, do I take: the warstaff, the double-beaked polearm, or the spiked flail

[rare hearth]

WHY HAVE U ONLY PLAYED YAKUZA 7

[sleek gull]

Talk about a shame.

[devout lion]

yeah thats why its important to also be reasonable so you can criticize

[rare hearth]

its funn

with friends at least

im bad at those type of games

[sleek gull]

I wanted to try one out. Never played one before. I think I chose the wrong entry in the series to start with.

[rare hearth]

you chose the 8th game you're supposed to play... i think you choose the wrong entry too...

[signal wedge]

Veroo

The cat

[sleek gull]

LOL!

Do you have a recommendation of a better starting point? The series still interests me

[unique ember]

Isn't Yakuza kinda like Minecraft in the sense that you walk

[signal wedge]

yeah

[bronze vessel]

yup

[unique ember]

Oh sick

[sleek gull]

....walking.... that is the connection? lol

[unique ember]

Might need to check it out

[unique ember]

Yeah!

[rare hearth]

if you want to start the series though you should get yakuza 0, read about the difference between the original yakuza 0 and director's cut
the original is available on gog.com and its like 20 bucks or less ion remember, director's cut is a kind of a scam

[solemn tusk]

I was wondering is there anything planned for the next update and any news on when it will release?

[rare hearth]

silly silly silly silly

hi silly

Did, or is, RE1 getting a remake? I thought I heard something about that

[signal wedge]

Supposedly, they gonna make it like RE2 remake

I never played 1 but I would if they did that

[sleek gull]

Neat!! RE1 is legendary. If you were alive to play it when it released, it was such a unique and honestly frightening experience.

[signal wedge]

I must've been like 1 or 2 probably lol

Maybe not even born

Re2 remake is fuckin scary tho

[sleek gull]

Early on in the game, there is a jump scare, and I don't know anyone i've talked to about it, who didn't freak out when it happened lol

[signal wedge]

The grace sections in requiem are a whole other level tho, sheesh

[signal wedge]

Yeah I've heard, its the dog one right?

[sleek gull]

Thats the one!

[devout lion]

i've never been more tense than in grace's section

[signal wedge]

Yeah I've watched a YouTube long-form video on it

[devout lion]

first half of the game is peak

[brisk oak]

hey silly

[signal wedge]

Yeah shit is scary as hell, the fuckin underground parts

Yeesh

[signal wedge]

Wsg G

[brisk oak]

uh

trying to make an mc bridge

[sleek gull]

RE1 also was kind of cryptic in regards to the puzzles. Today, most of them have become tropes and things people already understand. But at the time, often people would be stuck because they didn't know what was needed to be done.

[signal wedge]

One of the more modern survival horror games to have interesting puzzles was Alan Wake 2

[sleek gull]

Alan Wake is to me, what RE1 was to you. I've watched the long form videos, but didn't play it myself.

I regret not picking it up when it was fresh.

[signal wedge]

Haha that's fair, in Alan Wake 2 you actually change the entire world by changing the book you're currently trapped in thats written by the main characters evil alter ego thats also himself that he wrote in that also writes itself in

[sleek gull]

wait how do you change muscles in abyss

[naive cedar]

went into progression mode and chose to take on the souls instead of paying them off

that and you can mess about with the save file to do it im pretty sure

[whole marsh]

ah dang it

i really wish they add more freedom to abyss mode

like i miss my humans and bosses in abyss

and maybe advanced bosses

feature they removed

[naive cedar]

that would be really cool

[sharp thunder]

they could just add the gauntlet mode from the demo to ea

that would be 🔥

like a legacy gauntlet mode

[naive cedar]

i think they should add arrow purchasing so you can refill quivers

[sharp thunder]

you can keep quivers now?

[supple crystal]

if you grab one from the forest (or alley, there's one in a barrel), the only way to get rid of it is to use all the bolts

otherwise it stays on your hip forever and makes your dude glitch

i'm running out of ideas for challenge runs 😢

and yeah it's been almost a month since the last update

[sharp thunder]

fullbright cellar doesnt exist it cant hurt you....

[frail veldt]

and grinding my skill out in the game doesnt rlly feel worth it while the physics are still busted

[wicked depot]

I also have fullbright abyss

[frail veldt]

a gauntlet mode would be nice just to add some replayability

[supple crystal]

if they break radio silence after a month and the only update is "look at this new piece of armor we modeled" i'm gonna shit my pants

[frail veldt]

don't worry they'll make sure to also remove the book from the slums map to improve performance a tad

[warped apex]

Gauntlet 2.0

but make it more of a roguelike

add sickness and food

[supple crystal]

stealth food heist mission

[warped apex]

I orgininally thought we'd have stealth in EA lol

I thought that was the reason night was for

[sharp thunder]

fully operable trebuchets

[frail veldt]

limited points to spend on armor and weapons, if you want a full suit of armor you have to (literally) pay for it with an arm

[supple crystal]

there is at least some mechanic of "they havent' seen you so they dont know youre there"

[sharp thunder]

didnt mean to reply

[supple crystal]

like when i do alley carnage there are dudes who just stand there until they see me

[warped apex]

@supple crystal

[frail veldt]

i doubt we'll ever have stealth unless this becomes a VERY different game

[warped apex]

they're focusing on the guy infront of them that's why

[supple crystal]

no i mean after they've beaten the guy they just stand there

[frail veldt]

we're more likely to get sex in halfsword than we are to get stealth

[unique ember]

Yeah their brain basically says "thing. Destroy." Even after they've killed them lol

[supple crystal]

i've noticed my mercenaries will attack a guy who already surrendered if i start attacking him 😂

[unique ember]

It was like that in the demo too, just not as bad because the only map was small enough for them to lock onto you

[sharp thunder]

trying to find the last guy in forest riot only to find hes stuck on the fucking cart again

[supple crystal]

guy stuck in cart is a blessing, free throwing practice

[frail veldt]

looking for the last guy in alley only to find out that he's stuck behind some barrels that he dropped on his own head

[unique ember]

Looking for last guy in yard to find that I'm schizophrenic

[sharp thunder]

i like using the barons beak in halfsword and trying to poke through their head

[supple crystal]

the jonkler

[sharp thunder]

or hes just in the side alley in the middle but doesnt walk out for some reason until your close

[frail veldt]

"gladiator who's been sentenced to death" mode: 4 duels with a set number of opponents ranging from 1-6, you're told before each fight how many you'll be up against next round, after the 4th match there is a 70% chance to have another fight afterwards, this time with a completely randomized number and skill level of opponents

each time you win theres a 70% chance to have yet another random fight until you stop losing the dice roll

[supple crystal]

we need more like, high level, low armor gameplay, skilled combatants that arent walking tanks

[supple crystal]

but also yee that sounds fun

[sharp thunder]

a david vs goliath type of game mode where you use a crossbow to take out a giant opponent before he reaches you would be peak imo

would be first person required though

[frail veldt]

they actually did this to roman gladiators that the person running the games wanted dead badly enough, they'd put them against impossible odds, if they happened to win anyway they'd keep throwing in new surprise rounds until they stopped winning

[woeful fable]

I wonder if they will ever add jousting to this game. It would be extremely fun especially with the physics

[supple crystal]

yeah that sounds like it's suited to half sword pretty well

[sharp thunder]

im extremely interested in what is meant by "animals" being a confirmed future addition

[frail veldt]

probably just horses

[sharp thunder]

thats my hope

[frail veldt]

maybe chickens in some maps

[woeful fable]

I have a feeling it's definitely to do with horses since we already have a horse corpse with physics attached to it's limbs/body

[frail veldt]

maybe innkeeper with offer you 5 pfennies to beat the shit out of a cow witha staff

[sharp thunder]

i was going to mention that. only makes sense right?

i dont see how horses would move in halfsword physics XD

[frail veldt]

devs probably asking each other the same question rn

[woeful fable]

Honestly if they add jousting i would be the happiest man in the world. because then say you get dismounted and survive. you can get back up and still fight like that one scene in Game of thrones

[unique ember]

Can I just beat the shit out of the Innkeeper with a staff

[sharp thunder]

any sort of horse riding would elevate the gameplay to the next level tbh, jousting would just be utter cinema

like imagine swinging a poleaxe at full gallop

[frail veldt]

rare errand you can do for him, innkeeper needs to get his rocks off but his dominatrix is out on holiday, you're spawned in a cellar alone with him armed with a war staff

[woeful fable]

you aim too low and kill the horse and dismount the other guy. Or you hit their neck and straight up just kill them off the bat. or you hit them in the shoulder on the shield and you win. Or hooking people with a billhook while on a horse and dragging them

[sharp thunder]

honestly i dont expect horses to come considering the small size of the maps, or they would be relegated to a single game mode like jousting

[frail veldt]

or the physics bug out and your opponent's wrist snaps while holding the lance, he instead hits your horse instead of you and it flies off into the stratosphere

[unique ember]

https://tenor.com/view/lmao-gif-27165693

Me two seconds into that

[woeful fable]

I wouldnt mind a regulated jousting game mode
LMFAO

[sharp thunder]

they built that barrel out of an unknown material stg shits harder to beat than baron

[frail veldt]

human ragdolls are bad enough to deal with in this game i dont wanna deal with my mount ragdolling on me too

[woeful fable]

the problem is there really isnt any games out there to replicate how intense and insane jousting is. but half sword has the physics and gore to be the literal best in the field for that very niche sport

[woeful fable]

That's apart of it though, happened in real battles too. Horse goes down and you risk it falling on you and killing you

[frail veldt]

mount and blade has jousting no?

[sharp thunder]

mid and bland is kinda dookie ngl

i do not care for it

[woeful fable]

yes it does but no physics like half sword. Chivalry 2 also has jousting but you kind of just fly off in an animation

[frail veldt]

there definitely is a game with a jousting minigame i just cant remember at all what it is

[woeful fable]

Probs chiv 2

and its good, just nowhere near as intense as half sword could be. all the random variables that could change the single strike

that way, each time you do a joust. it's honestly 50/50 or completely random. you cant just cheese the physics to always win since you need to rely on a mount as well

obv it would result in unfair or unwinnable matches but that's also the sport

[frail veldt]

you have to press G while your horse is galloping to calm it down by calling it a hedgeborn

or else it bucks you

[woeful fable]

LOL

[sharp thunder]

https://giphy.com/gifs/corp-dieselr-turn-em-and-burn-wuJVA0oBKlOXPlpsx4

duuude this would be sick in halfswordf

[woeful fable]

shit then you could also stomp on an enemy with the horse. that would be pretty wild

[frail veldt]

has a lot of opportunities for some GNARLY clips if they also implemented semi-accurate bone breaking

walk your horse onto the other willie's knee and hear that phat crunch underneath its hooves

[supple crystal]

@warped apex you goin live soon? 👀

[woeful fable]

exactly what i'm thinking. Of course horses would be optional or set aside for people that dont want that kind of gameplay. but I think a niche gamemode at the very least would be insanely fun and add so much more to the splitscreen they've mentioned as well

[frail veldt]

i just want brawling to be improved its way too jank right now and experimenting with MMA in this game was super fun

[woeful fable]

then you could have different types of jousts. knock off = win. joust to the death which would result in a duel most likely. and so many other factors

[woeful fable]

True, i think the npcs dont block well enough. or they get knocked down way too easily now compared to the demo

[frail veldt]

your character also isnt really heavy enough on his feet

[woeful fable]

in the demo i'd get knocked out or it felt 50/50 most of the time, now if i just spam haymakers then im guaranteed to win

[frail veldt]

like you can't use your weight very much to grapple around

[woeful fable]

no you really cant at all

[frail veldt]

should be able to get a willie in a proper clinch and knock him off balance by crouching

[woeful fable]

it's hard because they've literally simulated an entire body with muscles/bones and organs so i can only imagine how hard the grabbing mechanic would be to tune properly

[frail veldt]

or maybe add knees or some way to trip someone if you're grabbing them with both arms

[woeful fable]

you can trip with spears or billhook very easily if you hook their feet. but thats about it from my experience

[frail veldt]

i've gotten them in some decent thai clinches in brawls and started spamming kicks at them but because willie doesnt know how to use his knees the kicks dont really do much

since you need momentum for kicks to really be devastating

[warped apex]

new major order

[woeful fable]

bit iffy because medieval time periods didnt really have MMA with fist combat. so i assume it would be hard to implement given they're focused more on weapon combat

[supple crystal]

i swear i'll reinstall that game within the next 12 months, inevitable collision course of boredom

[frail veldt]

wrestling has always been around tho

[woeful fable]

it definitely has, just saying with how everything is physics based. It'd be extremely hard to implement any proper grappling system without it bugging out or messing up the body physics

which is why i think we havent seen much on that

[frail veldt]

yeah to add dedicated mechanics aside from choking probably

im imagining just making small tweaks so the existing physics interact better with brawls

i.e your character's weight is distributed more realistically

[woeful fable]

definitely agree. the demo physics felt a bit more grounded personally

Like i swear i was breaking peoples limbs and arms way more often in the demo then the EA

instead of just cutting them or them dying

[frail veldt]

fix this bullshit with punch thrusts too

[woeful fable]

im gonna go finish A knight of the seven kingdoms though! Ill be back in a bit :))

[frail veldt]

better image actually

[woeful fable]

downward overhead slashes need to be fixed as well. it's way too hard to do a proper overhead slash imo

[frail veldt]

i thought so at first but i eventually got the hang of them

[woeful fable]

like a straight one at the very least. i could just be bad at it lol

[frail veldt]

the angle for a straight downwards overhead is just very tight

takes a lot of practice

[woeful fable]

yea i always seem to have my guy angle his wrists when i go to slash downwards

so probably my error

[frail veldt]

i also think you can only do it with some weapons

swords cant swing straight down i think

or maybe i havent bothered to try

[woeful fable]

i mostly use longswords

[frail veldt]

50/50, it's way too restrictive imo

i was also of the belief it wasnt possible until i figured it out

[woeful fable]

I also wish stabbing was easier

like with a knife

[frail veldt]

oh stabbing's broken

[woeful fable]

Should be able to stab people easily and fluidly

[frail veldt]

like it's actually bugged, i tested it myself by comparing it with demo

[woeful fable]

XD really

[woeful fable]

me and my best friend thought so as well

[woeful fable]

YESS THIS IS IT, he literally holds it wrong and thrusts with an improper grip

So it feels so fkn weak

[frail veldt]

yeah we gotta wait for that to get fixed

[woeful fable]

Like technically stabs are extremely powerful and have tons of force behind them since it's so easy to put your body weight behind it

[frail veldt]

you can compensate for it with practice, if you stand in the right spot you can still stab them properly

[woeful fable]

Hmmm, this is good to know lol

[frail veldt]

but it's unreliable and also doesnt really excuse the issue

since it effectively means your thrust range is much shorter than you think

[woeful fable]

and that doesnt feel right because thrusts were always usually very reliable way of attacking an opponent

[frail veldt]

i only managed this because i happen to have been standing in the right spot

anywhere else and it would've missed entirely

[woeful fable]

oh shit! haha that was amazing

[frail veldt]

go into halfsword stance for stabs, in regular grip it just doesnt work and its bugged to shit

if you're halfswording it works fine tho

[woeful fable]

that went fully through too holy lol that was an amazing stab

thats what i do with polearms because it seems like halfsword stance has way more power behind the sideways stab

since your guy literally twists his hips into it

[frail veldt]

stuff like this is way easier to pull off with halfsword grip, in regular its kind of just luck lol

[frail veldt]

more accuracy is why i usually halfsword

[woeful fable]

OH shit i didnt even think of doing it this way

[woeful fable]

I need to try that now

[frail veldt]

power is mostly impact of the blade/spearhead and how quickly you're swinging

lighter spears are better than heavy ones bc of this

[woeful fable]

i noticed heavy weapons seem weird like they do a lot of damage from tapping enemies but you cant really swing them that wel

[frail veldt]

yeah it's rough out here

a lot of people in here just gave up on making properly balanced weapons and made slow unbalanced messes that just KO on contact (if you manage to make contact)

but it is very possible if you put in the time

if you wanna use polarms like, unless it's a hammer usually you want them on the lighter side

a heavy polearm is really unwieldy and hard to control

[woeful fable]

yea i dont enjoy that gameplay. i like going into a fight having to actually fear the enemies attacks and being careful of every step i take. I enjoy the enemies being able to kill me within a single strike

[frail veldt]

you also want them pretty short since having them long makes the physics freak out

[woeful fable]

which is why fist combat needs to be better. its way too easy rn imo

[woeful fable]

didnt realize this either haha

[covert forge]

fist combat is so bad right now

[frail veldt]

you just make your life harder by not mindlessly flailing usually

since spamming swings makes willie go full fists of fury and each one deals max damage

[near grotto]

When has it ever been good?

[woeful fable]

it upsets me that i figured out you can just do that because before i knew you could mindlessly haymaker left and right melee combat was actually really fun

it's like i have to cripple myself in order to have fun in a fight by trying my hardest to make it even by playing poorly

[frail veldt]

nothing but desperation at the end here and it worked out perfectly fine

[woeful fable]

i got myself a medieval dinner for episode 5 of a knight of seven kingdoms. got a roasted chicken breast with some red wine

[chrome steeple]

How do I get more bolts with crossbow

[frail veldt]

you don't, that's all you got

[woeful fable]

so hyped, i hope this episode is as crazy as everyone made it seem to be

[chrome steeple]

D:

[frail veldt]

i still havent forgiven them for GoT's ending and havent build up the courage to watch it

same with house of dragons

[covert forge]

bag with bolts

whatever its called

[chrome steeple]

Where

[woeful fable]

Its fucking crazy good. Im a diehard GoT fan and while i hated the ending. Dude omfg watch A knight of seven kingdoms. this is some of the best GoT action and comedy ever

[frail veldt]

i think if you don't already have it, it doesnt respawn

[woeful fable]

A house of dragons season 1 was amazing but season 2 was shit

[covert forge]

wagon but it doesnt always spawn

[frail veldt]

it spawns next to the crossbow in forest

i never saw the damn thing since i heard it exists after i already got the crossbow

[woeful fable]

crazy ass twist in episode 4, and it starts playing a remix of the Game of thrones theme leading up to a massive battle which is pure goosebumps

[frail veldt]

ugh

[woeful fable]

Man i swear. it's SO GOOD, only 6 episodes too

[frail veldt]

no i've heard it's good it just feels like going back to a bad ex bc they swear they changed

[woeful fable]

They've definitely changed, or atleast it seems like they are trying to replicate GoTs best episodes but in every single episode

its just so good

it reminds me of watching GoT for the first time, i was so wary but I wish i watched it sooner now

[frail veldt]

are the books finished for knight of the seven kingdoms

[dusky crane]

SOCIETY claimS its unsportsmanlike to kill a man after you cut him in a first blood duel
BUT SOCIETY doesnt bat an eye when you cut him in half on the first try
SOCIETY

[woeful fable]

as far as I know it's only a trilogy (3 books) the show has already been renewed for the 2nd book (season 2) and then season 3 will be the finale

[frail veldt]

if they are im more ok with giving it a shot

since d&d arent just makin shit up anymore

[woeful fable]

Im pretty sure the story is over already lol

[frail veldt]

i have the first book too for dunc and egg but i never picked it up since i started feeling so scorned

[woeful fable]

But i will even say that the main characters of knight of the seven, are straight up my favorite characters i think in all of the GoT universe

[frail veldt]

same with the core GoT book series, got two books in before the show ended and i just couldnt do it anymore

[woeful fable]

Im buying the book as soon as i finish this season

i have all the got books except a knight of the seven. and this show is a masterpiece so i need to read the books now

[frail veldt]

is house of dragons good

[woeful fable]

Season 1 is, season 2 was very slow and not much happened

I would argue knight of the seven kingdoms is rivaling the best parts of Game of thrones. It's almost literally perfect

i havent had chills or goosebumps like this since i watched battle of the bastards

[frail veldt]

i was a GoT megafan, like watched every fuckin youtube video essayist who made theories about what would happen (95% of them were wrong) and then that ending came around n i legit couldnt ever bring myself to rewatch the series after that

even the early seasons kinda got ruined for me cuz i know what it all amounts to

[woeful fable]

cant blame you. as much as i hate it, i love got with all my heart and theres nothing like it. A knight of the seven is straight up my favorite parts of GoT. (hilarious comedy, Crazy insane violent action) and some crazy good twists with an brilliant soundtrack

GoT is the only show I know of where singular episodes are more crazy than 90% of movies out there

episode 5 of A knight of the seven kingdoms also has the highest television episode rating of all time. It's literally said to be the best episode of television ever made

also the blood looks weird

[near grotto]

Like what

[wicked depot]

They gotta invent a new game engine just for physics based fighting one day

[covert forge]

because of the random bullshit they added to one side

[iron pollen]

I agree🤤

[tall dagger]

i changed the value for my freeplay character but you can increase your strength way past 87 normally

[tight bear]

my least favorite map. the muddy slope sim.

[iron pollen]

I hate the ones with trees

[sharp orchid]

theres a couple high preformance games i play where people demand it all the time.

[brisk oak]

i love slipping and losing

[tight bear]

Im stumped then. I cannot make it past 87 no matter how many fights and heavy armor jumps ive done.

[near grotto]

Squad HAS to be one of them

[tall dagger]

[wicked depot]

[tall dagger]

go in your stash, view your weight. go out of it, then go back in and view your weight again. its buggy

[brisk oak]

megaknight

[tight bear]

you have got to be kidding me

[brisk oak]

😭🙏

[sharp orchid]

take the baron ciurass and take parts off with the armor smith until it looks like that

[tall dagger]

also weight gain slows down the farther your progress. try exhausting your character alot more

[tight bear]

I have beeen reeeeeeeeeeee

[wicked depot]

You get mace gauntlets?? I dont understand

[brisk oak]

nice frames twin

[sharp orchid]

oh you were tlaking about the weapon mb. no its not possible, thats modded i think

[sharp orchid]

[wicked depot]

Please release 🙏

[weak osprey]

Ts is truly bad to the bone

Bruh

[naive cedar]

Me when someone mentions the colour green

[sturdy spoke]

how do i parry im so bad at it

i never actually looked at how

[weak osprey]

Jus search up how to parry sire on youtube

It provides a better analysis anyway

Or ask an expert

[warped apex]

first you need to be strong

then block

[sturdy spoke]

i dont think ive ever blocked an attack

[weak osprey]

What is teh name of teh mod

[twilit escarp]

that feint was fucking gorgeous

he hesitated on his swing when i went for a thrust then i morphed it into a diagonal slash right into the side of his neck, pretty as a damn picture

[jovial relic]

is there a way to fully reset the progress of the game?

talking about early acess

[covert forge]

something something game files

[tall dagger]

Ovrdths armory

[analog meteor]

Does anyone know how I can use the spaulders and vambrace?

[jovial relic]

i literally wiped my savegames file and my progress was still there

[weak osprey]

double click?

idk

[covert forge]

armored doublet without the extra stuff i think or with the extra stuff

[analog meteor]

they are locked I know I need the correct "clothing" but I can't find it

[weak osprey]

Oh alr

Honestly idk most of EA

[weak osprey]

U prolly need some doublet, since thats used to strap armor

Historically speaking

But may apply to the game

[covert forge]

arming doublet without the extra shit

[umbral kayak]

arming doublet

not just normal doublet

game be funky like that

[analog meteor]

ah oke only the armored can?

or also the normal doublet?

[covert forge]

yes its still called an arming doublet but it doesnt have armor

i guess

[umbral kayak]

wdym normal armor, it cant equip armor or something?

[thin dust]

i never noticed the little flies that swarm around until now

[wicked depot]

Arming doublet without the arm armor

[covert forge]

yes

[analog meteor]

uhm oke I guess I have the wrong one then

[wicked depot]

You can remove the arm armor at the armorer guy

i think its called jack chains idk

[tawdry vale]

At least I got to keep my hand, fuckface!

[vocal blaze]

when update

[viral rampart]

Are you able to take armor off of dead people?

[hidden whale]

which one?

[stray carbon]

Every weapon?

And when it glitches u cant even run

It stops u and slows u fown

Down*

[hidden whale]

i dont experience any persistent hand glitch on every weapon

[hidden whale]

could you show me maybe?

[pearl ferry]

hold the body part thats wearing the armor and hold the grab button for that hand

and you'll remove the armor piece your hand is grabbing

[stray carbon]

Unfortunately u caught me at the wrong time lmao its 3 am and im on phone

[pearl ferry]

and then hold it up to ur body and hold the grabbing button for that hand to equip it on your willie (if you dont already have something equipped, if you have something conflicting you woibnt equip it though

[hidden whale]

awe man

[viral rampart]

Thanks!

[pearl ferry]

np

[hidden whale]

rate my armor

[worthy tartan]

solid

but what if i stab your dingle

[spice zealot]

do yall know how to get more arrows in your quiver?

[worthy tartan]

beats me

[spice zealot]

I am so lost the only way ive found is by picking up another quiver in the forest, but I only end up with 1 arrow at a time

[spice zealot]

alr thanks for answering tho ill try and ask some other ppl

[ruby glade]

The indominable human spirit

I didnt win

[open holly]

since it says muscle is built by burning stamina, if i just drag my mouse back and forth rapidly and exhaust stamina like crazy, will i build muscle?

[worthy tartan]

yes

[worthy tartan]

UH OH

ok now that i've replied

[open holly]

for how long until i have like pretty good stamina

[worthy tartan]

i just performed a gang beating on a dude

like me and my 2 mercs in as reggie would put it: full body chastity cages pummeling some poor commoner who had a plancon a picot with our polearms

[ruby glade]

Its not looking so hot gang

[worthy tartan]

idk man i think if you lock in you might get 1 willy further

[ruby glade]

I slipped out but my poleaxe phased underground. I have begun to improvise

[worthy tartan]

did you ever play the demo

[ruby glade]

yurt

Candelabra my beloved

[worthy tartan]

we can both agree that fuckass candelabra probably is better than any gothic poleaxe

[wicked depot]

I accidentally pressed the inventory button noo

[ruby glade]

Its so fucking broken lmao

[worthy tartan]

when do i get to have a cool thingy

like a surcoat

or i'm forgetting the word

[wicked depot]

I just call it a cloak

you gotta rip it off someone

[worthy tartan]

i've been wearing the same sallet i got in the militia tier for the entire game

it is my BABY

and if you try ripping that sallet off of me

I WILL EAT YOU

[wicked depot]

You can attach a strap to it

At the armorer

[ruby glade]

Holy fucking Resident Evil

This has been a whole chronicle thus far

[worthy tartan]

guys

i was about to lose in man-at-arms against a hall champion

but then

i heard willy, from the demo tell me

" @worthy tartan that poleaxe costed 300 fucking pfennings"

so i locked in

disarmed the overtly muscular bastard

and i'm stealing his tabard and sabatons

[tawdry vale]

Friendo hit us with a fucking power pose 😭

THE MFIN BACKSTROKING ZOMBIE

[harsh wolf]

Anyone know how to save a progression game?

[worthy tartan]

imagine being a muscular champion

you think you are just about to beat some puny little bastard

then he slams his bec de corbin into the side of your head

steals your sabatons and tabard

removes your cuisses, greaves, and pantaloons

then fucks off

[naive cedar]

At least he kept his pfenjamins

[north gazelle]

nothing in there

[worthy tartan]

next guy i faced off against i stripped him down to his underwear and proceeded to beat him with his own flanged mace until he cried like a little bitch

[sharp orchid]

i didnt cut off his foot, he just has one shoe

[pearl ferry]

trying to make my stabs look cooler

[worthy tartan]

you sliced off one of his little piggies didn't you

[sharp orchid]

i genuinely didnt

i was using a blunt weapon

[ruby glade]

The Looney-Toons 180 head turn

[worthy tartan]

bro i accidentally made my lucerne hammer too long

but i mean

i can now charge into a william's dingle and win a battle

[brittle robin]

[jovial relic]

how can one reset their progress in half sword completely (early acess)

[fallen glacier]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[jovial relic]

thank you kind sire

[ebon blade]

anybody else think you shouldnt be able to lose if you go out of bounds after brutally killing the opponents? i dropped my halberd out of the fence while bludgeoning a man to death with his own mace and then lost when i was going to get it back

[tall dagger]

R.I.P

[fallen glacier]

in "stay in the circle" rounds that doesn't happen afaik. I've only had that happen if you crouch under the railing in the yard

[snow garnet]

These fucking shield users bruh

[fossil shore]

anyone know why my insured Baron's Beak just dissapeared from my inventory?

is it a common glitch?

[fallen glacier]

have you tried restarting

[fossil shore]

yeah

it doesn't matter now, i've practically already got a new one

just gotta fightthe baron

[mighty lichen]

A duel has never ended so fast.

[sturdy spoke]

how do i block or parry

ive had the playtest for like a year and the early access for months and never learned how

[deep shale]

so, it's all physical.

you hold your sword in front of you

so that the enemy's swing, has to go through your sword before it can make contact with your actual body

[sharp orchid]

its easiest if you half sword, just raise the weapon in between where the part the enemy will hit and the enemy's weapon. this clip is an example

[deep shale]

crazy that he did that with no gauntlets 😱

[sturdy spoke]

ok good to know

[deep shale]

im sure theres youtube tutorials out there, explaining all of this better than we could
