[restive barn]

i think i just have to add some material function

[coral kite]

I haven't hopped on the game in a minute but I'm wondering what fixes have people done to make the game run smooth

[eternal scaffold]

hey modders. is it possible to only play on arena in EA?

[restive barn]

yes

[eternal scaffold]

how would one go about doing this?

[restive barn]

use ue4ss or hse to load into /Game/Maps/Arenas/Map_Arena_Yard

[main orbit]

Freemode

[restive barn]

by using the command open /Game/Maps/Arenas/Map_Arena_Yard

[eternal scaffold]

i mean play progression only in arena

[restive barn]

yes i just told u

[eternal scaffold]

ahh tysm

[restive barn]

@restive garnet which blood material function is the one y'all use?

[white frost]

😱

[slow iris]

https://tenor.com/view/monkeyglitchin-gif-11329341034662249547

[simple leaf]

hey guys when i play progression mode on split screen with a friend everything works but we cant win the matches even tho the enemies are clearly dead does anyone know how to fix this or if this will get fixed soon

[twilit escarp]

i just knocked a guy out with his mate's hat

[restive barn]

mb

[silk spire]

In which country does halfsword take place

[restive barn]

i think england or germany

not sure

[silk spire]

did devs ever say where it took place

I’m pretty sure they did

[restive garnet]

And what the resolution ground texture is using

[restive barn]

huh

[restive garnet]

Please do show off more pic with the rt blood. On new mats

And what the resolution of the ground material is

[restive barn]

i don't understand srry

i mean i understand the first message but

[civic furnace]

These floors in abyss piss me off 😭

[restive barn]

what floors

[civic furnace]

Well

I should have wrote floor

[restive barn]

https://giphy.com/gifs/hell-naw-low-iq-unintelligent-mNal0EQtG3jbLtZPuD

[civic furnace]

Well

What I mean is that my leg keeps getting stuck in this DAMN floor

[white frost]

God damn what a shot

[simple leaf]

.

[white frost]

havent really tried split screen so idk

[simple leaf]

ok

[civic furnace]

They should lwk add workshop

To steam

[sleek gull]

Old Man Thoughts.

It is always interesting to see language evolve. Lowkey, meant something along the lines of "I sorta think this, but not really"

Now a days, it is something like a mailable adjective.

""Lowkey" in slang generally means subtle, discreet, muted, or "kind of.""

[civic furnace]

Cant even say the u word

[sleek gull]

LOL! It is accurate though, I am the U word = )

I'm not poopin on you for saying lwk, i'm just spewing useless thoughts lol

[civic furnace]

Useless thoughts are needed

Without useless thoughts there can't be useful ones

[sleek gull]

Poetic = D

[prisma stag]

I played the old gauntlet build from itch just now, and i genuinely found it fun, if they made the current build more like a fencing sandbox game than a parry bot that hates you it would be the best version of the game.

[lost rover]

What kind of hobbies do you guys have

Personally i love to cook

[prisma stag]

#general-catfish-🐱🐟

[lost rover]

😡

[prisma stag]

The itch version isn't good, but there was no auto parry so it felt like you were actually playing the game, auto parry works in games like hellish quart where the moves are preset animations, but in one that is entirely physics based, it makes it harder to do anything else.

[young ledge]

Is it just me or has performance of this game dropped significantly

[slow harness]

I have also noticed this

[smoky bison]

is that the guy who's nerves are all screwed up bc of some random ass moonshine in sinners

[restive barn]

lmao

no clue

[soft osprey]

Well arent you lucky, last night I found out you can turn off auto parry

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[prisma stag]

I do not think it's possible

I thought there was a setting for it but it was something else

[soft osprey]

You should read what I linked lol

[prisma stag]

Those are hacks though, that's not intended

[soft osprey]

So you don’t want it off?

Hacks or not theres a way to turn it off

Use it or not, no skin off my bones

[prisma stag]

If it's not put there by the developers, it doesn't fix the problem the game has. If there was a sensitivity slider for it, then it would be better.

[soft osprey]

Yeah that’s great and all that, but you were complaining about auto parry, Heres a fix. Use it if you want it off.

Or just don’t use it because it’s a hack

It’s your game

Just figured you’d wanna know how to turn it off lol

[small glen]

I kind of wish the devs would make it a setting by default, because honestly no one rly likes it

I am actually bewildered they kept in ea

From the feedback in the demo

[soft osprey]

Ive genuinely seen it both ways. Lots of people like it lots of people dont

Just like literally everything else about the game

Super divisive

[small glen]

What's the argument for people who like it?

[prisma stag]

I don't really care about modding that much, but my point is that it needs to be changed without the use of it.

[soft osprey]

Never seen a game have a community so split before about anything

[small glen]

Battlefield.

Helldivers.

[quasi gale]

How it be hacks lol?

[small glen]

Vindictus

Fallout 76, you should know that one

[soft osprey]

Fallout 76 fans love fallout 76 lol that people who hate it just don’t like mmo stuff or still ride the initial hate like no man’s sky haters

[small glen]

The demo vs Ea is like a political debate, no one can agree on that

[sleek gull]

Some people like auto block in side scrolling fighting games too. Others like their actions to be 100% under their own control.

In the end, it is up to the Devs to decide what they feel is the intent. A more casual approach that is accessible to everyone, or something else.

When it comes time for 1.0, we will know the full intent of the design.

[small glen]

I love very few MMOs

I think Vindictus and black desert are my favs

[grave pecan]

EA is pretty good but it fails on some parts

demo does the job well

[small glen]

Because unpopular opinion, MMOs are fun only when you have a few friends to chill out with in it. Start clans, and have faction wars etc

[grave pecan]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1050078382018265178/1454397083413909630/ezgif-395a166e2e34663d.gif

[sleek gull]

FO76 has about 30 people per server. In my personal opinion, that is a lobby game, not an MMO.

If FO76 is an MMO, then so is Call of Duty

[soft osprey]

76 is a fallout rpg game with mmo aspects. That’s why I love it, and always tell people you literally don’t have to interact with anyone if you don’t want to. You can play the entire game as just another fallout entry and it holds up great

The mmo aspects are like a side factor

[small glen]

My big gripe with a lot of MMOs

Is they make the map dogshit

I think Black desert the only MMO that makes the map HUUUUUGE and it works, feels, and looks amazing

There is always smthing to see, discover and fight.

It's a massive map with a lot of shit to it

[sleek gull]

Elder Scrolls Online is a great example, of a massive map with great design as well

[soft osprey]

ESO is great too, but I haven’t played it in years

You can also play most of it solo

But eventually if you wanna do raids youl join with a team. But you still don’t have to interact even then

Bethesda does mmo perfect for introverts lol

[small glen]

Eso has a issue that I had initial for awhile with Vindictus and Bd

That is the classes are sometimes too powerful

Templar, is soooooo busted

[grave pecan]

is this related to half sword

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1050078382018265178/1454397083413909630/ezgif-395a166e2e34663d.gif

[prisma stag]

I like auto parry in certain situations, but I don't like how it straightens your weapon.

[slow lintel]

There is no argument against having an option to choose whether you want auto parry or not.

No logical one anyway.

[soft osprey]

Oh yeah? Try arguing with the cold hard logic of CHATGPT then!

In games like this, your inputs don’t map 1:1 to real sword movement—they’re interpreted through a system that:
• stabilizes your weapon
• filters unintended motion
• translates messy input into believable combat

Auto-parry is likely doing more than blocking attacks—it’s:
• correcting edge alignment
• preventing unrealistic openings
• maintaining weapon control under pressure

So if you remove it, you’re not just “turning off a helper”—you’re removing part of the logic that makes the combat function properly.

Bro wants logic, AI GOT logic

[frozen wyvern]

“””games like this”””

[restive barn]

no the FUCK it's not lmao

[soft osprey]

Wait theres more. And this part is extra logical, it made sure to use the word logical

That leads to a logical consequence:
Without auto-parry, the system may produce results that are:
• less realistic (your character fails to react in ways a trained fighter would)
• less consistent (similar inputs produce wildly different outcomes)
• harder to interpret (misses and hits feel arbitrary instead of understandable)

Hes so confident

ChatGPT is never wrong. So smart

You can make anyone believe you if you’re confident enough

[restive barn]

it'll look much more realistic than with auto parry if you are a competent player

[stuck epoch]

true

[restive barn]

and i don't think auto parry has any influence in striking other than influencing it

[rapid pond]

throqt slit

[soft osprey]

Ahhh but you see, the skill floor is usually the norm in every game, not the ceiling

Most gamers are casual

[grave pecan]

AI is truly the future 🤣

[restive barn]

https://tenor.com/view/mrbeast-ledge-spikes-thumbnail-gif-11846972297662321539

[humble iris]

Casuals

[soft osprey]

Filthy casuals

But the norm nonetheless

[humble iris]

Very very filthy…

[soft osprey]

I expect 90% of halfsword players to be bad

And that’s fine

[rapid pond]

how bout i casually remove thy nuts

[quasi gale]

Surely an update comes soon yes

[rapid pond]

yes

[white frost]

you guys ever get bored that you start insuring everything

[eternal scaffold]

Right now, there isn’t a confirmed exact date for the next major Half Sword update—but here’s the current situation based on the latest dev info:

The game already launched into Early Access on January 30, 2026
The devs said the next update will be a larger content patch (not just a hotfix)
Because it’s bigger, it’s taking longer than the recent hotfixes, and no release date has been announced yet
What that means
Expect slower but bigger updates going forward
Likely includes new content (weapons, maps, mechanics) rather than just fixes
Could drop anytime—but there’s no official schedule or ETA
Rough expectation

Since they’ve been doing hotfixes in late Jan–Feb and then paused for a larger patch, most players expect:

“Soon-ish” (weeks to a couple months) rather than a specific day

If you want, tell me what you’re hoping they add (weapons, multiplayer, etc.), and I can tell you what’s actually been teased for the next update.

[runic gale]

what

[eternal scaffold]

chat gpt

[runic gale]

oh

[eternal scaffold]

"when is the next halfsword update?"

lmfo i asked it about the physics

[simple leaf]

does some one know

[soft osprey]

Splitscreen is a god damn mess right now. Just play as you can, theres no fixes for anything at the moment in regards to multiplayer

Hopefully they’ll address the issues with multiplayer at least somewhat in the upcoming update

[restive barn]

hi chat

[brisk depot]

Yo is there a mod or some way to restore the movement in the tech demo, the full release movement and controls feels more sloppy and sluggish

[soft osprey]

Play the tech demo

Theyre two entirely different versions

[brisk depot]

fair

[soft osprey]

Also, dont worry, it’s not full release just early access, itll change a lot as it gets developed

[brisk depot]

well yeah mb i meant EA games far from finished

[white frost]

UR ALSO DOING THAT?

SHIT

SO ITS NOT JUST ME 💔

[eternal scaffold]

no

its not

where in this together

🙁

[white frost]

I asked chatgpt to predict when the update will be released

He said April 18

..?

[viral phoenix]

just had a bug in the demo where my willie was totally butt naked

is this normal

idk if im even allowed to post a picture of it in here

[quasi gale]

Not everything bout u sweetheart

[eternal scaffold]

it never was its about us getting an update

[white frost]

what

[restive barn]

?

nah not really cuz of the dense foliage collisions💔

i'm trying to optimise it rn tho

there's also music

not ost that i composed myself but music in the game alr

[sleek gull]

Jingle Bells?

[restive barn]

shoudl i compose ost for it

[restive barn]

no

[sleek gull]

Dashing through the snow! In a one horse open sleigh!!

[restive barn]

the lighting is a bit off too, so i'm fixing that

for one the fog is blue for some reason, it should be white bcz of volumetrics + it looks cool

the sky light is too blue for my liking, this is purely from an art direction standpoint and is not realistic whatsoever

[white frost]

I need to go to sleep bro, I swear I thought you said jingle balls

💔

I had to read it twice

[restive barn]

bro💀💀ɦəɦæz the key💀💀to everyone's room💀💀💀💀nahhh get out💀💀💀💀 skull emoji💀💀💀💀💀💀skull emoji💀💀💀💀skull emoji💀💀💀💀

holy shit taiga lighting redo

very beautiful

[white frost]

this looks cool holy shit

[restive barn]

i get it

[stuck fjord]

How do you think this guy's feeling?

[prisma stag]

multiplayer is completely broken right now.

[white frost]

Dude's genuinely knocked out by now

[pure estuary]

This looks insane

[rapid pond]

nothing anymore ig

[pure estuary]

Is the entire map a slope?

Ah cool

[white frost]

is this gonna be out soon?

[civic furnace]

Where do I download mods? Nexus?

[white frost]

uhh

like 2 weeks

[stuck fjord]

I call this the mini can opener:

Pierces through armor like it's paper

[white frost]

good enough definitely

[grave pecan]

no fix
but it will be fixed soon

[grave pecan]

like any other weapon in EA pretty much

[white frost]

cool screenshot

🔥

[stuck fjord]

This guy looks tough...

[restive barn]

bro

[civic furnace]

How the hell u so muscular

[white frost]

yeah no that explains it

[civic furnace]

Yeah no what the fuck have you been doing to have fun this long

[stuck fjord]

Improving at the game

[onyx moon]

how is 1300 possible when the game came out like

3 months ago

💔

[white frost]

LOL

[onyx moon]

actually 2

[civic furnace]

Well I suppose so

[stuck fjord]

The lore of this character goes crazy also

[white frost]

what will halfsword EA be in one year

[civic furnace]

What tha lore on ur char

[stuck fjord]

I used a weapon I got in beggar tier to beat the baron for the first time

[stuck fjord]

This guy lived entirely from a clean save to beating the baron

[onyx moon]

i find this sketchy idk

[stuck fjord]

Maul goes incredibly hard

[stuck fjord]

this character's first time beating the baron. I had beaten him previously

On a separate save

[white frost]

oh fr?

damn

[onyx moon]

only if i could see my characters weight

they still havent fixed this bug

where it shows some random weight instead of the actual

[stuck fjord]

it only happens when you come back from a fight, if you go back to the tavern first it'll show your real weight

There's a name for it but I forget

[onyx moon]

eww i just noticed that oh my god

[white frost]

DAMN?

you just noticed the garderobe?

[onyx moon]

i didnt know the game was this realistic

wait so

[white frost]

plus technically when ur fighting in the slums

your technically fighting in a latrine pit

[onyx moon]

our characters are falling into 💩

OH MY GAWD

[white frost]

yes

if you look closely you can see the horse shit

[onyx moon]

SO I ATE 💩 QUITE LITERALLY AS MY CHARACTER

[white frost]

LOL

[onyx moon]

💔

[white frost]

dont worry bro my character got face planted twice into that

💔

[onyx moon]

now this is a good way of torture

gonna rub his face into it

[white frost]

plus i like wrestling there

[white frost]

u know one day they might add a mechanic where 💩 would just randomly fall out of there

[onyx moon]

imagine it falls onto your head and you can smear it into your opponents eyes 💔

[white frost]

Truly

a disgusting experience

[restive barn]

[calm wigeon]

Hi guys, I need some help. Every time I exit the game and relaunch all my progress is gone. Does anybody know a fix? I have my save files backed up but it doesn’t seem to load the save files. :/

[restive barn]

idk srry

[white frost]

#common-issues-fixes have u tried the one they said here? or nah

[calm wigeon]

I read through couple threads but no solution as far as I saw

[onyx moon]

hmh?

[restive barn]

why does ur character have body hair

[onyx moon]

💔

[restive barn]

like i'm not even kidding why

[white frost]

nah thats all the 💩 his character shed while fighting

LOL

[onyx moon]

maybe its time to get shaving

[onyx moon]

OHH

HAHAHAH

WHAT IS THAT

[white frost]

tuff

[onyx moon]

why is his

shadow lookin like that

[white frost]

he looks fat as fuck in the shadow

💔

and his head is so big

[onyx moon]

didnt know u could fling people

NOO

[white frost]

technically possible

for some reason they also fling when they collide with your character's head

[restive barn]

point light

[onyx moon]

???

HELP BRO

I CANT DO ANYTHING

WHAT HTE

[restive barn]

the other light doesn't even have a shadow

[white frost]

its a bug

what happened?

[onyx moon]

i just clicked on

next fight

and it did this

💔

[white frost]

oh

[restive barn]

like i'm not even kidding like half the lights in this game don't cast shadows and look fucking terrible with hair

[white frost]

did you hold G

[onyx moon]

hell no

[white frost]

before u clicked next fight

oh

wth

[onyx moon]

i did jump down to my friend and got hte

black screen

so that might beit

what do i even do

[white frost]

oh yeah that happens

when you jump down on the ground of the slums after you won it just shows next fight

or like just forces it to show next fight

[onyx moon]

oh my god and this dudes doing the thing where he doesnt approach

OHH if i could actually use my character

[white frost]

he doesnt wanna step into the poo poo

LOL

[onyx moon]

most hesitant dude ever

[white frost]

they only approach when u get close them

idk why

[onyx moon]

so they say its self defense

[calm wigeon]

mace head at the end of the swords handle, mods or vanilla?

[restive barn]

mods

custom sword i made myself

perfect for dueling knights

[simple leaf]

ty

[restive barn]

dude how laggy is that snow

[main orbit]

OMG imagine differently taunts/insults for different classes

[sleek gull]

What classes?

[white frost]

dis gonna be out soon?

[humble iris]

he probably means tiers

[restive barn]

yes

[main orbit]

Like a man at arms - lord would be insults targeting his enemies status and a beggar - mercenary would be insults targeting their character rather than their status

[humble iris]

i think there are taunts saying “low born”

but idk

[main orbit]

A lord would say shit like "hedgeborn" "mangy curr" "ragamuffin" etc while a peasant would be on about some "cuckold" "wretch" "Varlet" etc

[onyx moon]

coward too

for the peasants

if were talking about voicelines depending on rank we should have surrendering stuff be like that too

[main orbit]

Agreed

[onyx moon]

if theyre knight-lord theyd just be like "hey dont kill me but you probably wont since im high rank lol you cant do that"

[main orbit]

I dont think status had anything to do with how you could pronounce words though

[onyx moon]

and then every rank till commoner would be like "hey dont kill me please" and peasants would do the i am at thy mrecy

[onyx moon]

i think he means vocabulary

peasants wouldnt know the fancy words

[main orbit]

Ohh okay mb

[gloomy hedge]

the barons beak is so op omg

[humble iris]

i dunno some of the curses were very common with every status

i dont have to be a lord to call someone a filthy dog (mangy cur)

[onyx moon]

yeah but still cool feature

[main orbit]

I mean the higher ranks would insult based off class while the lower ranks would insult based off character

[humble iris]

if its status to a lower status

then yeah i understand some like low born

[main orbit]

And a filthy dog could be seen as insulting someones class

[humble iris]

🤷‍♂️

[main orbit]

Yeah idk much about how medieval low borns would talk but I dont think theyd be on about some "i am at thee mercy"

[onyx moon]

yeah but theyd be like "noo!"

bro the begging voicelines annoy me

"i cry thee mercy 😢 "

i think its the facial expressions

[main orbit]

Theyd need alot more swearing and general anger and hot headedness while the lords would try to keep a cool head especially in an arena for everyone to see

Yes yes I agree

[small glen]

i feel so scammed at the fact they did not hire more vas for the actual playable character, they did the gorebox route and just have the dev voice act and change the pitches

[humble iris]

i would understand those of higher classes not begging

[onyx moon]

i love the high pitched willies though

[humble iris]

since ego and immunity

[onyx moon]

on the highway map its like helping a kid cross the road just for them to get thrown 12feet into the air by a ram 1500

[small glen]

they literally hired like 4 or 5 new vas, but none for the playable character 😭

[main orbit]

And also ngl you should be fined or punished for killing during a first blood or knockdown

[small glen]

like yeah budget, but they literally hired NEW VAS

[main orbit]

They couldve hired some dudes off fiver

If fiver even a thing anymore

[small glen]

the only new voices I've heard

are background

and drunk guy

[onyx moon]

i really like the voices though 😔

itd be so unnatural hearing someone elses voice for me cuz im used to it

[small glen]

there is no new vas for the playable nor fightable characters

[rapid pond]

I still wanna know whatever this guy is saying

[onyx moon]

whoever did the voices did a hell of a job

[glossy cedar]

np

[onyx moon]

cuz some voicelines are stuck in my head

[rapid pond]

yea i was like "did he actually just called me a fucker"

[small glen]

they are just Ivan at different pitches besides the drunk guy and background guy

[rapid pond]

he does say fuck right ?

[onyx moon]

i love it though

especially the high pitch when they do the little crying tantrum before they die

like a baby crying and the pacifier is my foot in their face

[small glen]

I thought we would see other langauges besides.. just old English

but to be fair

finding old language examples for Germanic, French and more is not easy

[onyx moon]

especially if you modify the save file and they scream like a lawn mower when they fall

[little verge]

Frank is the Drunkard and the revenants. Ivan does all the spoken voices lines, and all the screams and gurgle noises are Kepon.

The VA new voice lines have not been implemented because the regions they depict have not yet been introduced. Much of the VA in the EA is still the placeholders.

[small glen]

this is good news

So factions

aren't scrapped?

[onyx moon]

how awkward were the revenant voice lines 💔

[little verge]

Not at all.

[small glen]

wait ivan does the screams? I thought that was Kepon

[onyx moon]

imagine being in the studio going "weuhhwuhh"

[little verge]

I missed a comma and Kepons name message edited 🫡.

[small glen]

so wait

[rapid pond]

Beautiful

[small glen]

each new va is likely speaking a different language

[little verge]

SOme but not all.

[rapid pond]

wasen't scoundrel supposed to be removed though ?

[rapid pond]

i can't wait to hear olde french guy call me a pute

[little verge]

All of Ivans VO will eventually be removed. The new VO lines from our hired VA did not include many phrases that were deemed not historically accurate. So the new VO ommits those lines but those placeholders are still present in the EA/Demo.

[white frost]

i need to listen to this guy again

[rapid pond]

those lines are way better than the chinesse build huh ??? and argh when hit + euuuurgh when dying

[white frost]

i never really payed attention much to what the drunk guy was saying 💔

[rapid pond]

oh ? so ivan's voice will be fully replaced eventually ? or are we still keeping some of them ?

[little verge]

Chinese build?

[rapid pond]

this thing

from the easter egg in the itch.io build not available anymore

[little verge]

Lol That is Japanese friend!

[rapid pond]

i dont understand the diiiifereeeeence

[onyx moon]

😔 why not just have a feature to choose voice actors for ur character

[small glen]

so there will likely be variants of the English voice

[rapid pond]

do your own lol

[onyx moon]

wait

not voicelines

voice actors

[little verge]

I cannot confirm they will be totally removed, they are just placeholders and have a high probability of being replaced.

[pallid wadi]

how do i take the barons armour after killing him

[small glen]

and uh, curious. voices will be faction locked, right? I asked and suggested that awhile ago idk if thats the main idea or nah. Prob can't answer dat 🤷

[onyx moon]

you cant take the armor

[grave pecan]

you dont

[rapid pond]

they kinda have a charm tbh, but hey we gotta move on from the nostalgia

Still surprinsing those lines are placeholders, they really sound like

violence

[rapid pond]

still surprised you're allowed to say any of this, brings a smile to my face

[white frost]

its sticked to his body with superglue

[little verge]

This is a QOL/Aesthetic feature if implemented it will not be until the game is in a 1.0 state. We are still working toward what is classically known as a Beta State ( all core features have been implemented).

[white frost]

HE SAID THE THING

HOLY SHIT

[little verge]

Cannot answer that until they are implemented.

"prosper you stupid poultry"

i just realised what just happened

wonder just came in, told us "yea faction based languages and all that is coming" and dipped

amazing

i wanna hear whatever the frenchs have in store

i REALLY hope they dont hold back on the slurs

i wanna feel threatened THROUGHT the damn screen

[white frost]

shit that would be cool actually

[rapid pond]

"What in the nine hells are you saying."

"Que tu dise ?"

"Je comprend pas."

"Scoundrel"
"Salaud"
"Hijo de puta"

all three look at eachother confused

[small glen]

Why would we get roman armor xd

That's out of period, waaay out of period

The HRE didn't run around in roman equipment

[white frost]

you guys ever want a man catcher in EA?

[small glen]

The game takes place in the HRE, they used normal armory as any other main military dude

[hidden schooner]

1450-1470

[small glen]

Your English, French, and HRE man at arms would've look relatively the same brodi.

There wasn't kits designed to be used by one x country

That idea didn't come around till 300 years later

[rapid pond]

i think its mostly gonna be "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" in different tones at a certain point lmao

[hidden schooner]

there were differences

especially man at arms

[white frost]

would be funny to hear all of them scream at once but its just different tones 💔

[small glen]

By livery coats?

[hidden schooner]

armour

and arms

[small glen]

Because generally speaking, wouldn't they be relatively be wearing the same thing. Sallets were common among multiple soldiers, not just Italy

Speaking italy

I am 70% sure House of Savoy will be a faction

[rapid pond]

true

[hidden schooner]

celata

[small glen]

And Burgundy, then the Swiss Confederacy. I think those will be factions

[hidden schooner]

Especially english armour would be different compared to spain

[small glen]

That's just sallet in Italian

[hidden schooner]

theres a lot of them

[small glen]

Mordschlag, we have like semi bad news btw

[hidden schooner]

what I mean

[small glen]

The book that rali got her hands on cannot be translated

The Italkim book

The college doesn't have the funds to translate it

Or smthing like that

[small glen]

I mean sure, but I feel like a certain point they'll still be following the same rule set when it comes to how it operates

[hidden schooner]

What?

there are a bunch of different ordinances from different countries that are not exactly the same

[sleek gull]

Sick reverse grips

[deep shale]

i hate the wrist bugs so much

[violet kindle]

about to fry people's pc

yeah but knowing the half sword devs each fibre is gonna be calculated

[little verge]

Are you saying you don't want each fiber to be physically simulated?

[violet kindle]

my pc is saying this

[main orbit]

https://youtube.com/shorts/l0Frh0aqBj0?si=B9P9dw8uA0XiOAbDt

They should make the rondel dagger have more piercing power

[spark axle]

More custom shield stuff

[white frost]

😱

[covert forge]

the limp wrist i think is the biggest issue still have a lot of fun with it tho

i have like 30 ish rondel clips i think

[sleek gull]

sick reverse grips

[white frost]

The gauntlets are so big that I genuinely thought you grabbed his throat out

[craggy hull]

what armour is that

[covert forge]

the bottom of the rondel makes my fist look huge lol

[main orbit]

Thats cool but they're supposed to pierce chain and rn they just don't do that

[white frost]

ye

[covert forge]

i think it can

or maybe its physics messing up and it goes through

[main orbit]

Yeah but nowhere near the proficiency it demands

[covert forge]

true

[peak hornet]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/mrYT7z4Kj4AQMku3x?invite=cr-MSx1MUssMjUyMTA4MjIw sent him straight into the darkness lol

[covert forge]

this but i removed the plackard

[craggy hull]

how do u get customised armour

is that just the barons armour but it says customised for some reason

[covert forge]

armor dude will appear sometimes

[craggy hull]

so u can just make armour from scratch?

or can you modify armour

[covert forge]

modify

[craggy hull]

[main orbit]

so sick and fucking tired of "YOU DIED" being on my screen while im actively flailing around still alive

[vapid hull]

Thats because you're mortally wounded to the point that nothing can save you

[main orbit]

"you lost" would be more fitting

[vapid hull]

You lost implies that you survive to fight again, though

the alternative would be slowly bleeding out while not being able to control your guy lol

[main orbit]

i guess but "you died" implies you died right there on the spot

[vapid hull]

It's there to stop from wasting your time in an unsavable situation. If you think you should be able to tank more damage, just turn down player damage in settings

[main orbit]

yeah but let me surrender bro ion wanna lose all this progress 😭

[vapid hull]

Gotta beat the void or backup ur save !!

[lusty condor]

anyone else have the problem where with remote play where the 2nd player can use their keyboard and click with their mouse but they can move their mouse? im on controller

[main orbit]

fyi im talking about the demo

[vapid hull]

ohh

[covert forge]

remote play barely works from my understanding

[vapid hull]

Gotta beat the void or backup ur save !!

[sleek gull]

At risk of being 'that guy', this surely sounds like a git gud problem.

[vapid hull]

wait no

you still can beat the void

to save ur progress

[vapid hull]

hiya fizz :)

[sleek gull]

Yeah, even in Demo, in the guantlet if you die you go to the abyss. Giving you a second chance

[vapid hull]

fizzleepop ow's thw ea treated you so farr

[humble iris]

he cant do his sheathe tech no mo

distraught..

[sleek gull]

I had fun getting through progression, and getting all the baron armor.

I went back to Demo for the post game fun though

[vapid hull]

I can barely do any of my techs anymore because they keep reworking all the stuf that make'sm work

[humble iris]

Yeah thats why i only really play demo

[vapid hull]

fairsies. I'm a little bit over half sword personally, I need lotsa new conent before I hop back on

[sleek gull]

With Billhook and such, you should be able to do all sorts of new stuff though, since the weapon can clip through the player model. Your chains are broken! lol

[vapid hull]

the new progression mode was so fun

[vapid hull]

eueugh

[sleek gull]

Indeed, the new stuff outside of combat is great

[vapid hull]

The clipping is blegh

I still just miss Playtest handling

[vapid hull]

yuh, minus some slip ups I think its a step in the right direction!!

If I didn't burn myself out on it I'd still be playing fr!

[main orbit]

is the knight tiers dagger just a small sword lmao

how could the devs ever find this fun

[rapid pond]

I have never beaten the ultimate challenge whithout puting the pain sliders down

[plain brook]

aint all daggers just short swords

[rapid pond]

Also remove blood or you gonna crash

[plain brook]

and git gud

[main orbit]

yeah i almost made it to the end like 4 times

then crashed

[signal wedge]

Green fart

[main orbit]

so fun

[safe rain]

Uhhh thats a big arena how Do you Do that?

[plain brook]

its in the demo

if you beat all the rank

[pliant crest]

armor literally doesn't work for some reason for me sometimes

I hit him in the abdomen, and he insta died through his curiass

[main orbit]

remember if you guys start to think "you know what? these guys actually have good game design skills!" remember they think this is the pinnacle of fun

[plain brook]

clean hits can penetrate

and physics can fail

[pliant crest]

that's a physics fail tbh

[plain brook]

what weapon

[pliant crest]

Armor wasn't even hit hard enough to be dented.

Billhook

Didn't even hit wiht the pointy end

[plain brook]

it could 100% hit through

its not hard so much as very clean hits

[pliant crest]

Without damaging the armor?

[plain brook]

also if you hit the side

[pliant crest]

I hit him one time, lightly, and it ripped his entire front of his torso off

[gilded frigate]

The game is highly experimental on its own, there's a dozen glitches, its not a shocker, the game needs more work and that's why EA is cool because we can directly test and help the devs

[pliant crest]

I hit him in the front because he had his chest turned away/

It's just wild how often it happens

[plain brook]

is npc damage up or something

[pliant crest]

Nope

[plain brook]

it doesnt happen often

[pliant crest]

Happens to me all the time. I pen them and they pen me.

Constantly.

[gilded frigate]

I rarely have glitches with armor besides helmets, you just ran into a bug

[main orbit]

pinnacle of fun

[pliant crest]

I've had enemies stab a spear stright through plate armor

[plain brook]

dont run into spears 4head

[pliant crest]

I've done it myself too. Same goes for axes, I've seen the axe cleave full plate armor knights in have.

[plain brook]

use the hoe to shift it to the side and get in

then half sword and decap

[pliant crest]

That whole sequence sucks to me too, tbh, but that spear move was on you.

You pulled an AI willie

[main orbit]

tell me what to do in that scenario

[plain brook]

i just did

[main orbit]

do you not see the plancon behind him

[plain brook]

he will block it with his body if you position right

[pliant crest]

Move to the right, and hit his spear left.

[plain brook]

but yeah dont go in if they are too close

[pliant crest]

that works too

[main orbit]

he'll stab me

[deep shale]

just sidestep spear
easy

[pliant crest]

With spears you either control the distance by staying away and wait for an opening, or you rush past it by blockking and sidestepping

[deep shale]

circle strafe

fibonachi curve optional

[pliant crest]

I mean, it seems your only option is to be stabbed then if you cannot sidestep or block or move away.

[plain brook]

you dont take damage if it just touches you, the moves need momentum so if you slow them down or interupt the path you are safe

[pliant crest]

Takes practice to get good at this stuff

[main orbit]

this is my current POV (the game is currently paused)

[pliant crest]

took me a while practicing against spear enemies and plancon enemies to learn how to effectively fight them.

Yeah, plancon is a bitch, but it's beatable. Honestly the hardest weapon to beat though, imo

[plain brook]

warstaff is a losing fight if you try and be defencive

wait for an attack and rush in

[pliant crest]

The best way to beat them is that, basically

Wait for him to start telegraphing for an overhead, rush in and block his arms, stabbing them while you do that

As long as you do decent damage to one arm, even if he pulls away and regains distance you've slowed him down a good bit if not disarmed him of his plancon

[plain brook]

you dont block or parry a warstaff but you can dodge them pretty easily

[pliant crest]

yeah, trying to block or parry a warstaff just makes you disarmed because your hand is no longer a hand, but a meat stick

A very bloody, painful meat stick

[main orbit]

https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/14272576775250788475/8F177A8CD9A7D381E38671F70C191A8D260F78BE/

[pliant crest]

Brother

Brother you're fighting just like the AI

[dry vine]

I've been using a polearm, and it blocks it pretty well, its just a hard chance that you'll get disarmed.

[plain brook]

lol

[plain brook]

not just that

if willie is having a bad day the block wont stop it

and the spikes go in your shoulder

[dry vine]

yeah

[plain brook]

or this

[pliant crest]

I can tell that's demo becuase in EA the first block wouldn't have done shit

[plain brook]

pre-wrist patch it would have with enough strength

but now yeah

[pliant crest]

tis why I went back to demo

[plain brook]

they screwed wrists up in the last patch

[pliant crest]

Demo just seems...better in so many ways

[main orbit]

Tell me what to do brother

I get tracked like a hawk

[pliant crest]

don't charge when the plancon is on the ground

You're just running into spikes and killing yourself for free

[plain brook]

or just dont step onto it

[pliant crest]

You have to get the timing down. It takes practice, there is no magic sauce.

I spent a lot of time getting my ass beat until I figured it out

And sometimes I still get my ass beat.

[main orbit]

I have 26.7 hours in the demo and 55.5 hours in the EA

[pliant crest]

Yeah

Tons more practice needed my friend

[pliant crest]

That's like, your first steps for a game like this.

[pliant crest]

I mean, some people it clicks for.

[plain brook]

ea warstaff still OP

[pliant crest]

Tbh, everything that can deal blunt damage is op in EA

I knock people out by tippy tapping their helmets with a weapon that only has 1.9 weight.

[plain brook]

ea time

[rapid pond]

my proudest parry

[pliant crest]

demo time on this account

ea time

[plain brook]

nice form and the riposte was good too

nice n clean

[pliant crest]

But I've also been into stuff like HEMA (can't play it myself sadly) since before I was a teen.

[main orbit]

current pov

[rapid pond]

Rn this custom sword i made right here is JUST right, it parries anything on the strong and can slow some attacks on its weak

[plain brook]

thats easy shift beside the spear and stab

[pliant crest]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/mpngWMpE1r7ptnlqn?invite=cr-MSx6MzgsNDAyNTExOTcx

This is one of my weird blocks xd

was not intentional, but it worked

[main orbit]

fire bro keep it up

[rapid pond]

either grab it and push it out or kick plus downward left

[pliant crest]

that's on you bro

Loaded just fine for me

[rapid pond]

how the hell cant you see an mp4

an MOV i would have understood

thats a low quality mp4

[plain brook]

i slid along his return stroke for a perfect clean hit here

[pliant crest]

you slid his stroke?

0.o

[main orbit]

alright awesome what now

[rapid pond]

stabby stabby

[plain brook]

profit

that spear will win every fight free till ur in armor

once you got armor you swap it for a poleaxe

[pliant crest]

stab him?

[plain brook]

its pretty free once you got armor and a poleaxe

just stay out of the bind

[pliant crest]

https://tenor.com/view/where-you-at-gif-10162885804351053153

What else you do with a peasant's spear?

Stare hiim down? xd

[rapid pond]

stab more

Oh yea i have this parry as well

[main orbit]

its not working too well

[next forge]

parrying axes is so fun

[proud cliff]

slipped through

[pliant crest]

Oh, you lost an arm

Goob

[rapid pond]

i think you didnt see the part where i'm carrying the demo baron's sword lol

[pliant crest]

stabs like that are so peak

[rapid pond]

didnt even block

Straight "boop"

man that new sword phisic

[pliant crest]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/mo6HASS4SOfTmPFZm?invite=cr-MSxsQnUsNDAyNTExOTcx&v=2

[next forge]

modified version but yeah

cool

[pliant crest]

throwing is so much fun in EA, tbh, throwing is the one thing I think that got improved.

[rapid pond]

you could have killed him with the sheer gravitational pull that thing as

[pliant crest]

It's not heavy

It's lighter than my swords

[rapid pond]

its a funny thing lol, take a longsword, give it the demo's gs grip and make the blade Z lenght 1.5

[next forge]

i also think using the pommel and halfsword grip has gotten improved

i mean maybe its because of the sword i'm using

[rapid pond]

that i 100% agree

[next forge]

but like its so fun to just try to spare ur enemies by absolutely hitting them with the pommel

[south tiger]

Did the game devs give up or sum shit

[next forge]

OH MY GOOLDNESS

[rapid pond]

pommel strikes are easier to do, but thats probably due to the blunt damage

[main orbit]

yes

[next forge]

[main orbit]

NOBODY CARES ABOUT DIFFERENT LANGUAGES MORE THAN BUGS FIXES HOLY SHIT

[rapid pond]

he also (if you LOOOOOOOK) mentionned that this will be a thing in potentially 1.0 after the ea becomes more of a "beta" than early acess

[plain brook]

beta is before early access

[rapid pond]

and that surprisingly the current voice lines are placeholders

that shocked me

[main orbit]

brother reply to the messages

please

i am not scrolling up an hour

[rapid pond]

use the discord seach feature.

[pliant crest]

Discord has this neat thing called a search function

[rapid pond]

from : mcwonder

bam

[pliant crest]

And you can search specifically by discord user

[rapid pond]

holy meow

[pliant crest]

I'm starting to think your issue is you have two braincells fighting for third place.

[rapid pond]

isnt early acess like... not situated anywhere between "alpha" and "release" since its kinda is a state between both

[humble bloom]

ok now what?

[rapid pond]

LMAO

[main orbit]

im seeing nothing about bugfixes

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-ishowspeed-fortnite-fortnite-ishowspeed-cheeks-ishowspeed-blow-gif-8384090200881199846

[pliant crest]

early access is supposed to essentially be a paid beta that lets you get in early (often for cheaper than full price on release)

[rapid pond]

erm

[rapid pond]

#announcements

[wise halo]

you gotta wait atleast 2 more months for a update bruv

[plain brook]

it goes

alpha > beta > early access > 1.0

early access is a vertical slice of a game with no content made but the core of the game as it will be at launch

[deep shale]

nothing makes me lose faith more than seeing a patch drop yet the bug is still there

And now he wants me to search for a message for him?

hell no, find it yourself bro.

[rapid pond]

btw i remember during the livestream with m00 back on the pre-release days, "scoundrel" was supposed to be removed right ? with "Lowsel" and another voiceline or something ?

[wise halo]

Spear against my full baron armor set

[rapid pond]

was that just posponed for now ?

[frank rose]

you're a courier

do it for him

[pliant crest]

Nah, if I'm a courier Imma be like courier 6 and take on to the head.

[plain brook]

tho to be fair recently earlly access just means "we are blameless for the game being ass because we warned you" and usually lasts well into what should be 1.0

like 7 days to die

or a game goes "1.0" but still plays like early access

like the forest

its so unreliable and not really important in the grand scheme, a game is good when its good regardless of what version it is and its bad when its bad regardless too

[main orbit]

amateur couriers smh

[pliant crest]

space engineers was the last Early Access game I can remember off the top of my head that felt like a true early access.

[humble bloom]

I dont remember, the voicelines are all Ivan anyway.

[wise halo]

I wanted the forest, played it and found it extremely boring, (back when it released early acces)

[rapid pond]

i mean, i went in ea knowning damn well what i was about to experience lmao, i'm more ashamed of those thinking an ea would go the way krafton wanted the subnautica 2's ea to go

[pliant crest]

i'm so hyped for subnoot 2

[rapid pond]

Another question, how many takes did the drunkyard took due to laughter

[pliant crest]

I love subnautica, and I have played it since it first released as an EA title, before there was any story.

[rapid pond]

cause hearing an f-bomb in hs made me laught.. like A LOT

[deep shale]

that lawsuit was CRAZY lmao

[frank rose]

me cinquedea

[pliant crest]

what lawsuit?

[main orbit]

oops wrong reply

[humble bloom]

I dont know, that was franky who did it.

[deep shale]

the subnautica 2 lawsuit.
"chatgpt, how do i commit corprate fraud?"

[rapid pond]

lets not thats its whole 5000 word essay

[deep shale]

im exaggerating but it truly was crazy

[wise halo]

At a food truck

[plain brook]

i was a bit surprised about how unstable the ea was, plays more like an early early aplha that has been trussed up to look pretty

but i mostly expected it because half sword was extrememly messy and its clear this is a "first game" of a developer especially since it released on itch originally

[rapid pond]

understandable dear screamer

[pliant crest]

Oh shit, i didin't know subnoot 2 had a lawsuit.

[covert forge]

we need more vox in the game its probably like the last thing they wanna worry about still

[main orbit]

another question where did they leave franky after carrying him out of the studio post drunkard lines

[frank rose]

whos jessy causey

[deep shale]

in the end though, the devs won and will get both the game and their christmas bonus

[proud cliff]

the magic of disabling autoparry

[pliant crest]

awesome 😄

I loved the first game

My only disappointment was it's not multiplayer

[main orbit]

please explain this to me because i think i misinterpreted this

[rapid pond]

i'm still really surprised by the quality of the ea currently

Like yes, it has problems, like EVERY SINGULAR EA EVER. but the game is really fun. been enjoying it a lot lol already passed my time on the demo by nearly 30h

[wise halo]

more vox less lumen

[humble bloom]

probably in the same place they left him after last update.
he cant update the game until he finds his way home again.

[covert forge]

im talking about voice lines

[rapid pond]

i've seen the trick, i'm too lazy to do it, but man a slider for "autoparry strenght" would be really usefull

[rapid pond]

damn the ale was THAT strong ?

[plain brook]

thats true and also wrong

many early access actually follow the standard vertical slice and have little issues
roboquest and selaco are two recent examples
but yeah the vast majority have the same issues and half sword isnt some villan for follow the same bad trend

[wise halo]

https://tenor.com/view/your-adventures-are-just-beginning-frog-king-lemmiwinks-south-park-s6e14-gif-22107380

[proud cliff]

yea, would be great to have it in game settings

[pliant crest]

i wish there were settings for al ot of things

At least until they iron more shit out to make it function more how they want in a complete product.

[wise halo]

my gpu is working hard

[pliant crest]

Like, stuff is already borking. Give us toys to bork it more! 🤣

[wise halo]

running this game

[rapid pond]

i mean, on my end i've played PZ wich has some lags, Nuclear option wich was damn near unplayable at first, half sword is up there as well, subnautica as well

[pliant crest]

What's that gotta do with sliders for say, wrist strength, autoparry, etc.?

[wise halo]

https://tenor.com/view/mikel-gpu-hot-hot-pc-gif-16146601

[pliant crest]

adding options ain't gonna make your gpu run hotter.

[rapid pond]

more ssettings for visual i'm guessing

[wise halo]

removing lumen makes it run colder

[plain brook]

yeah theres an awful trend of releasing games almost unplayable and charging $30 for the effort but its not half sword's fault it goes back over a decade

its still a fun game but it was released into ea too early imo

[pliant crest]

I mean, sure, but then you'd just have more stuff to turn down.

[humble bloom]

he did the intro voice for the game, I'm not currently sure if he did other things.
I think he might be in the tavern ambient sounds somewhere when two dudes start arguing and fighting.

[pliant crest]

it was released wayyy too early imo.

And the worst thing about it to me is, even if they come back and fix it up, this'll hurt them forever.

This is not what you want on release.

And that is gonna stay there forever on the steam reviews.

[rapid pond]

meh, idc tbh i enjoyed it even on release and the performance patches actually made the game smoother on my end, so i'm gonna stay optimistic

[wise halo]

mixed reviews

[plain brook]

they had a cynical but relatable issue, they had to release it now while the hype was good so that they would get enough money from it

[pliant crest]

Yeah, which isn't great at the very start of the game

[plain brook]

the game's popularity was dying down

[pliant crest]

Means it's gonna weight the game down even more later on.

[rapid pond]

anyways

[rapid pond]

that will mostly depend on fat update n1 imo

now imma eep

[pliant crest]

yeah. Their handling of it, especially with the alpha testing or whatever they called it though, was off.

Most of those poeple who put bad reviews won't come back to change their review I'd bet.

Also, eep well.

[covert forge]

the next update is for sure ment to try and like win people back

[pliant crest]

As long as they don't be like arrowhead htough, I think the game will recover, just slowly.

[wise halo]

new game modes, free mode more polished, optimization performance wise!

[pliant crest]

I just want there to be "We'er so back!" and no "It's so joever" wheni t comes to this game and it's updates.

[covert forge]

heres hoping

[proud cliff]

a little bit of parry

[covert forge]

i also hope they can improve split screen but that might be too much to ask right now

[frank rose]

did wilbur predict blonde willies in ea

[rapid pond]

True, but when the newer reviews come, it'll boost the game, we just have to wait for the release, hopefully soon enought, but also long enought for the devs to cook

[wise halo]

splitscreen isn't enjoyable atm

[covert forge]

yea i was kinda surprised how broken it is

[main orbit]

dude why isnt anyone in EA wearing armor in freemode

[frank rose]

style points

mayb

[small glen]

Fencing mentality

[rapid pond]

They do above commoner

[main orbit]

not really

[humble bloom]

knights refuse to wear bevors in freemode and it pisses me off.

[wise halo]

Controller side is super broken and fatal errors occur too much, player 1 and 2 vs bots gives fatal error

[proud cliff]

no one has gorget

[wise halo]

also player 2 in progression mode is so broken

[rapid pond]

What pisses me off more is knights blatantly refusing to wear hauberks

Like why

You guys are 1 rank away from being lords

[main orbit]

this is soldier tier i think

[rapid pond]

OOOOOH you mean demo

[small glen]

Back up boss man!!!

[main orbit]

no i mean EA

[rapid pond]

I couldnt tell, too fuzzy

But still, usually at soldier they wear armor

[balmy wave]

wait can you LOSE weight on half sword?

[rapid pond]

The higher you the more they'll wear

[rapid pond]

Nope

[wise halo]

You could try starving yourself

[covert forge]

i like that they dont have bevors so i can do this

[rapid pond]

You can edit your file to be 6kg if you wanna be that guy

[small glen]

They don't even have mail sometimes

[humble bloom]

I would expect there to be some budget cut knights, or those that prefer not to wear certain things.
but otherwise full armor and sallet, but no fucking bevor is ridiculous.

[rapid pond]

Ive seen some carry bevors though, but usually always with a sallet

[main orbit]

these are all soldier tier fellas

[balmy wave]

how tf did i go from 84 to 72 withouth changing anything

[small glen]

It's weird

[small glen]

Oh hi Kepon

[wise halo]

https://tenor.com/view/trucking-crumb-keep-on-trucking-truckin-gif-16336683

[small glen]

Because multi enemy fights reduce enemy armor

[main orbit]

..wwwhy??

[wise halo]

Oh hi mark

[rapid pond]

"Nah, my throat is just that good"

[proud cliff]

are you in free mode? free mode is 72 kg locked

[buoyant oyster]

Uhhh guys question

[rapid pond]

Unless you do some shady tricks that are easy to reproduce

[rapid pond]

Shoot

[buoyant oyster]

How the fuck did I manage to fling so hard into an enemy (in demo) that they basically got turned into a rigless corpse

[rapid pond]

Demo jank

NEXT

[wise halo]

Thats why free mode needs to be polished. More free, choosing whatever you want not only you armor and weapons that you have insured, enemy customization, map customization, character customization etc...

[buoyant oyster]

Now tell me how the fuck my cousin repeated it in the EA

[rapid pond]

Ea jank

NEXT

[proud cliff]

I wanna try first blood in free play, very fencing coded

[rapid pond]

Ive died via shield clipping so ea jank my beloved

[balmy wave]

gng how did u disable shadows , i can't

[rapid pond]

Ive also died via parry-clipping in the demo lol

[covert forge]

just left them up

[main orbit]

optimization mod

[balmy wave]

my 1060 would be happy to hear

[rapid pond]

That

And circle

[balmy wave]

aight

[small glen]

Some of that is a maybe, but it should be noted

Free mode isn't a sandbox

[rapid pond]

I want circle gamemode in yard

[small glen]

A lot of those features are never happening

[buoyant oyster]

No, I mean fling

[wise halo]

Free mode on itch.io was better

[buoyant oyster]

As in he is getting launched

[rapid pond]

Yet

[small glen]

No that's mcwonder himself

Freemode isn't intended to be a sandbox

[buoyant oyster]

I can't even tell how the fuck he does his

[rapid pond]

Its also not a sandbox on demo lets be honest

[main orbit]

dude enemies are soooooooo shit in EA compared to the demo

[rapid pond]

Didnt they say its subject to change ? I might be wrong

[wise halo]

what is the point of freemode if you can't choose what you like to play

[covert forge]

https://tenor.com/view/chimutan-chicken-cillian-murphy-peaky-blinders-gif-15173158631897442446

[rapid pond]

Youve been repeating things already said by many if not all of us here

[warped apex]

lil eye poke

[wise halo]

Why have a freemode at all if you cannot choose what you want to play and what you want to play against, just delete it

[dry vine]

Even with all the settings low in game, and I've fixed my graphic, and game settings in windows, it still runs really bad on any map except yard, and cellar.

[rapid pond]

No. Im loving in

[mild vapor]

Yeah free mode sucks in EA

[proud cliff]

the free mode knight experience

[wise halo]

[main orbit]

i think in reinforces the point(s)

[main orbit]

cant wait for sandbox mode ❤️

[rapid pond]

Lets keep in mind the "first iteration of ea" as well tbh, true sanbox would be stuff like flight or spectator mode

Im guessing we eventually are getting randomized fights
