restive barn
#

limber imp
#

restive barn
limber imp
#

you will complain a lot more in gore 3.0 about damage lmao

#

cause like then we will actually have more damage

white frost
limber imp
#

instead of getting hit in the helmet with a mace and just going to sleep you might actually get your skull broken

white frost
#

i knocked out a knight by just using a maul

limber imp
#

He is also in tilting helm

(Tilting helms can look like greathelms armets and bascinets but are usually thicker and have a fixed visor

#

See that link

#

Pls make a honeypot channel

lost rover
frank rose

why is he lying gif

lost rover
#

an iq too low gif

frank rose
#

does he know gif

restive barn
#

resizable housing and rods have same durability

#

his joints are too loose tho

if he wants good penetrating power he'll have to stiffen them joints up

#

alr who will win

#

William's knight (left) or my knight (right)

#

actually hold on i'll add a plume on my knight

#

it used guns to shoot the pistons

drowsy flint

why is the optimisation still a joke this far along, im far and above the minimum spec, this shouldnt be happening on minmimum settings

#

forest is a fucking slideshow and the other maps arent much better

proud cliff
#

is there an architectural bottleneck or smth? your power is at only 127w and 5700xt in general is a 225w tdp gpu

#

driver issue or arch incompatibility

drowsy flint
#

shouldnt be

#

its all plugged in, power is fine, hybrid mode whatever its called is off

power as in supply is fine

drivers up to date etc

getting 30 to 40fps now with stutters which isnt ideal but a hell of a lot better than a slideshow

I know that 5700xt sometimes has problem in some dx12 game because it doesn't have full dx12 support, missing mesh shader and hw accel for RT

versed wedge

maybe also no buying only stealing because I just finished a run where I only stolen stuff

white frost
#

oh

outer minnow
#

They are plate armor

versed wedge
#

I meant only the just front simple breastplate

#

and simple helmets like the kettle helmet or barbute

outer minnow
#

It’s still plate armor

#

If no plate, why plate

versed wedge
#

yeah but without helmet I'd be cooked

outer minnow
#

That’s the challenge

#

Just don’t get hit

versed wedge
#

maybe if I get a lot of shields I'll survive

i was talking about

my brawl

#

this dude just

#

reversed my powerbomb in the coolest way hol

drowsy flint
#

i swear every early weapon except the pitchfork is complete ass

#

you have no armour and blocking is basically impossible

spark axle
#

Lots of range and it hits like a truck

drowsy flint
#

ive got a mace rn that i got from using a rake to outrange a commoner and ive yet to kill a single person with it

#

took out like 6 people with the rake and that thing is honestly awful

grim summit
#

update when uptade where ? 🙁

drowsy flint
#

the same guy in retribution has killed me 7 times because he has an axe and a 2H mace to the dome is more of a suggestion to go down than a command to him apparently

#

i think ill wait til more optimisation comes out

#

40fps w stutters at min settings is fucking ridiculous when im way above min spec

white frost
#

yeah

wraith haven
#

love a good roundhouse!

drowsy flint
#

and them hiding behind the EA tag when the demo was servicable without a top tier GPU is just a pathetic copout

small glen
#

Sir nerd of Geekville is here

small glen
#

Ea and demo are not cut from the same cloth

#

They are both two different builds

lunar zinc
#

And people can complain about the performance disparity regardless

sacred trench
#

E

small glen
#

And likely scenario is

#

Ea build is built upon older playtest

lunar zinc
#

It's not like people shouldn't be upset when a game doesn't run like they expected it to, which would be reasonable when they kept saying the early access would be more optimized

#

It implies that it would run better

small glen
#

The current demo is basically nothing alike the ea because it literally isn't

small glen
#

That's my issue rn

naive granite
#

doesnt matter ea runs worse

#

it should be an improvement just like how it was implied

lunar zinc
#

I'm going to respond about it

shut gale
small glen
#

Demo is better imo rn

#

But that won't be forever

#

Ea will 100% out perform demo in everything

#

When? Idk

naive granite
#

they drastically changed most of the game mechanics

#

and they are worse

#

so i dont think we will have what demo offers by any means

Like another branch in the tree, wich is getting bigger with time

Its just content to annoy ourselves now

#

The reddit became a toxic fest

naive granite
#

ea is filled with stuff like new maps new clothing hairs new faces

#

but the gameplay is far worse than demo

sleek gull
#

Demo did not have intricately customizable weapons, nor a muscle system.

That is what makes everything feel the way it does in EA. Once they sort that out, it should feel a lot better.

what about it

They are what became demo eventually

So ea can be what demo is

ea needs work to be sure but there's little point in continuing to whine while they work on it

they won't work faster if you continue to complain

they're going to work at the same pace regardless, it's just a matter of how miserable they're going to be and how quickly they'll come to resent their own community like most other game devs out there.

nobody is saying not to say anything. it's just that your complaints have already been made a hundred times over, verbatim. the devs are aware and will improve on the system to make it enjoyable for as many people as possible.

sleek gull

As a person who works in the software industry, in the communications field, I can give you my experience with feedback.

Where I work we have an Enhancements Submissions tool, where customers feedback is added to the list when they want a new feature, or for something to improve. It gets voted on internally, and with enough votes, something makes its way to the Dev team for consideration.

I presume Halfsword works in a similar fashion. They have someone who reads the feedback channel, filters out the noise and brings things that they believe the Dev team would consider looking at. The Devs themselves do not hear you. But there is likely someone who is listening, and deciding what is worth the devs time to pay attention to.

In the end, no, complaining does not get you anywhere. Only valid, well though out ideas that are spoken with some level of true understanding get attention. And only those submitted through the proper channel (feedback-bug-reporting). So chat in halfsword-chat does not get considered by anyone with any authority.

there's no point in beating Man who Moves at Five Miles An Hour and expecting him to go eleven

if you beat him

you're comparing the devs to slaves. they do not live to serve you.

# naive granite both

Well one of the two will be read, and considered. But not the one in halfsword-chat.

Now, before anyone gets the wrong idea here, i'm not saying "don't post your criticism here". i'm just saying it won't be heard by anyone who matters unless it is in the feedback channel.

You did the right thing

Going from EA to demo has made demo so easy

near grotto
#

When did this turn into a debate about how fast the devs will develop depending on how we injure them

rapid pond

#

I'm of the opinion that most people don't like EA because they're getting killed more

quasi gale
safe rain
#

Psychological damage tho..

naive granite
#

not because of no update for long time

pliant crest
#

my main take on the state of the game is: Huge issues, lack of communication is worrying, if I didn't wanna see game get better I wouldn't care.

sleek gull
elder tendon
#

the reason the next update is taking so long is probably because they're trying to figure out a way to appease the people who enjoyed the demo more

ea needs a lot of work. devs know it needs a lot of work. devs will not know it needs work any more if you continue to scream in their ears about how it needs a lot of work

My thing on the paid vs unpaid version is, this whole thing could've been handled better, EA has leagues of issues, and it's obvious something rushed them to send out the EA version when it obviously wasn't ready.

they gave us an estimated release date which was that 3 month period

this is the team's first game, they're going to make mistakes. and they're like what, 4-7 people or something?

Or the utter lack there of.

communication is not going to happen

I think the ea needs a lot of work. it really does. it's in a sorry state for sure but biting the hand that feeds you will do nothing but foster hatred between you and it

I Bought the Game today and started IT then when i click any type of Button IT instantly Crashes 🥀

there are no devs that aren't single developers who communicate the way you guys want them to

Specifically thinking about the fact they put out for alpha testers

#

and within 5 days released EA

bright sorrel
pliant crest
#

Why you gonna put out alpha testing, just to release the product that was supposed to be tested, before the testers can even start testing?

sleek gull
bright sorrel
#

Btw does the Demo Work tho???

pliant crest
#

Before EA came out, just a few days, they put out a form to fill out to be considered to be an alpha tester for what comes after the demo.

sleek gull
pliant crest
#

They did not test that version. Iirc they are testing now, but that still kinda defeated the purpose.

elder tendon
#

ah

pliant crest
#

Why push a test version and make a huge announcement to fire up the server...only to release an obviously rough draft version of your game?

elder tendon
#

well it's probably the same story as with most problems with rushed development: publisher/investor pressure.

pliant crest
#

Especially after all the hype, and the fact that the release made the hype faceplant.

#

I figure it's probably about money too, but communication, to me, would've been preferable to...whatever you wanna call all that.

elder tendon
#

i feel like im playing a different version than most people

bright sorrel
#

Yoooo atleast i can play the Demo after they fixed it

pliant crest
#

I also wanna reiterate, as I've said before, I wouldn't care this much if I did not want this game to succeed and do well.

elder tendon
#

fact is

#

it hasn't even been 2 full months yet

pliant crest
elder tendon
#

And the game is going to be in early access development for at least a year

pliant crest
#

Over 2 months, closer to 2 and a half.

elder tendon
#

2 full months since the last major announcement

#

that explained to everyone what they are doing and working on

pliant crest
#

that is the release date for EA

elder tendon
#

I'm aware

pliant crest
elder tendon
#

I'm not talking about the release date

pliant crest
#

Then I'm confused what you're saying.

#

Also, stabbing in demo is so fucking peak

grave pecan
#

yummy skin

pliant crest
#

If EA stabbing was demo stabbing, I'd be happier xd

elder tendon
#

I just clarified 2 full months since the last major update from the devs that explained their situation and what to expect

pliant crest
#

Ah, yeah

open oak
#

is frame gen a thing in half sword or do i need a specific setting cuz its grayed out for me

pliant crest
sleek gull
#

stabbing, unsheathing, clipping, center line narrowing, and wrists. Fix these things, and we are basically back to Demo combat.

pliant crest
#

PC settings, not halfsword

pliant crest
#

Demo combat was so peak tbh

#

Idk why they'd wanna change it so majorly

open oak
pliant crest
#

I mean

#

I just parried a dude, cut his hands off, and stared at him until he bled out at my feet.

elder tendon

# pliant crest Idk why they'd wanna change it so majorly

Its a combination of things. Weapon Crafting added so many variables that didn't previously exist. The muscle system as well, added a ton of new variables. And I believe they are trying to connect the model's limbs and body in new ways to allow them to create more realistic movements.

steel kraken
#

It's okay if the devs need their time and all but they could fucking say something, wouldn't hurt at all to know how far are we from the update, some teasing about the WIP, idk SOMETHING

#

Yeah but I mean that announcement has nothing to do with actual WIP or the next update itself, it's not like a devblog or something, they just clarify stuff

pliant crest
#

The announcement basically just said stuff we already knew.

steel kraken
#

Yeah lol

pliant crest
#

So I've kinda seen it as a nothing-burger, other than informing us the devs are, in fact, not dead.

When I say "communication" that's mainly what I mean.

"Hey guys the game is in development" OMG THATS SUCH AN ANNOUNCEMENT BRO

you guys are so silly

soft osprey

stay mad ig

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

pliant crest
soft osprey
#

Ofc I would love for some more info. But I’m just glad to know theyre still working

#

Im pretty sure they’re being tied up with NDA’s which contributes to the lack of communication

elder tendon
#

The more they communicate, the more fuel they're adding to the fire for people to give them shit for later.

pliant crest
elder tendon
#

They likely can't make any concrete promises and anything they say that they don't end up getting to will just get thrown back in their faces like it is right now.

sleek gull
#

If the rug was pulled, and the devs abandoned the project, this discord wouldn't still be up, and Moai wouldn't be here listening to us all whine. ; )

pliant crest
#

I'm not asking for dates or anything concrete, simply a "this is our targetted mechanic right now" would be huge to me tbh.

grave pecan
pliant crest
#

Like, space engineers devs did that

#

Space engineers started with like, 10 people

grave pecan
#

so it doesnt make much sense in my mind for it to be a rug pull

#

and like come on this is such a cool concept

elder tendon
#

different dev team, different culture, different circumstances.

grave pecan
#

years of work thrown into the trash would be the stupidest thing to ever do

pliant crest
#

They had an update every week, and you knew exactly what the entire company was working on at any point in time for the first few years.

#

I absolutely think even a once a month "this is what the target/focus is" would be nice.

#

And would help convince people this is not a rugpull.

elder tendon
#

anyone who thinks this is a rugpull is a moron anyway

pliant crest
elder tendon
#

lol

covert forge
#

they did wip post before im assuming they just dont have anything interesting to show right now

pliant crest
#

Can we not insult people for having different opinions?

#

Like fr?

soft osprey

#

the righteous indignation begins

grave pecan
#

tbh i'm pretty mad at the bugs in the EA but since my 2 hours have passed by so i just started living with them

covert forge
#

folk

pliant crest
steel kraken
#

I've been there when dayz was growing, and even though the devs were and are messy as hell they never stopped communicating or teasing WIP

Talking about something more similar to HS, where I was much more closer to development bc of funding on Kickstarter, is Mordhau, where they also fucked lots of stuff but the devs were really active, talking to us(even have them added on steam lol), showcasing stuff while we waited for updates as to keep the hype and thats dope. They didnt just post generic posts every 3 months

soft osprey
elder tendon
#

communication is a huge risk for devs is all i'm saying

pliant crest
#

so is releasing an EA version before it's halfway ready to even be EA tbh.

#

But here we are.

elder tendon
#

i mean

grave pecan
#

the EA npcs hesitate so much

tough hollow
grave pecan
#

you can stand for 1 minute and they just stare at you

pliant crest
#

EA npcs are borderline braindead sometimes

#

And sometimes they surrender without any fight.

grave pecan
#

can we genuinely give the EA npcs a #1 hesitating award

sleek gull
soft osprey
#

I think the devs were stuck between a rock and a hard place with people getting impatient with the release, not wanting to miss the hype train. But they weren’t far along enough and had to release something. Idk. Maybe could’ve even been contractual with their publisher. We won’t ever know the truth unfortunately

steel kraken

😭😭

i've never had an npc surrender for no reason in almost 100hrs of the EA version

grave pecan

if ur not face to face to them they dont push you at all

pliant crest
#

It's rare it happens, but if I mash g enough eventually I get an NPC who immediately gives up if I have more armor.

soft osprey

I don’t blame them

you were just giving up and starting a new match

yeah the taunt system needs tuning

pliant crest

No, I scream curses at the enemy

outer minnow

there's a lot of problems in the EA version for sure

steel kraken

but like

pliant crest

my thing is like, okay i have noticed this easily abusable bug. i report it and then avoid abusing it so i can enjoy the game more.

soft osprey
# pliant crest hot

Thats not what I wanted you to take away from that but I’m glad you’re yourself

elder tendon
#

its the same reason why i don't just equip a warstaff and instantly win every fight.

sullen wagon
pliant crest
elder tendon
#

that's a bad example actually because you can instantly win most fights with any two handed weapon.

grave pecan
pliant crest
#

I just had like, 10 fights back to back end in one hit

elder tendon
#

equip any pole weapon, aim for head, win fight.

pliant crest
elder tendon
#

it was the same way in the demo though.

pliant crest
#

That and "I've seen what makes you cheer, your boos do nothing"

steel kraken
elder tendon
#

the thing i want back from the demo is the game mode as an option in freeplay or something

#

randomized tier appropriate loadouts

covert forge
#

freeplay is def the biggest step back

pliant crest
#

dude, demo is making me so wet rn

soft osprey
#

They are working on overhauling free mode at the least

pliant crest
#

I've won

#

SO many fights in one swing

elder tendon
#

or make it so you can customize your gear with equipment locked for that tier
