[dire zephyr]

this takes me back.. i miss him

[white frost]

the only valid place is the alleyway

😭

[grave pecan]

this is probaly one of the best knight sets i have too (sadly the fp vision sucks and the hauberk clipping!!!!!!)

[white frost]

never go into first person with this helmet

i swear

[proud cliff]

there's so much clipping with all the gear

[safe rain]

My guess, they want beer instead of a jonkler telling them to go fight random people For peffins

[sick plaza]

fucking cunt

[white frost]

ME?

[grave pecan]

views from the outside

[white frost]

if they gotta protest uhh

why not the baron himself

[grave pecan]

the abomination

[sick plaza]

no

[sick plaza]

the papoi

[sick plaza]

[safe rain]

Giga chad willlie

[grave pecan]

[sick plaza]

how the fuh u do that

[safe rain]

Protest the baron?

[white frost]

[safe rain]

Mmmm mongrel

[dire zephyr]

NEVER

[white frost]

genuinely what happened

[sick plaza]

explosion

wait

BRO

[safe rain]

By lore meanings yes

[grave pecan]

two sided danny

[sick plaza]

FRESHY

i got a fucking good idea

add those improvised bombs

used in the medieval era

[white frost]

you add someone shitting in the toilet above in the slums map

[sick plaza]

ye

bet

[dire zephyr]

hi

[grave pecan]

i miss my buddy

[dire zephyr]

what bombs

[white frost]

although it would be fun if Riots was the other way around

[safe rain]

As Long as its not a skibi-

[sick plaza]

[safe rain]

We, against the knights

[dire zephyr]

ohhhh

[grave pecan]

we need more maps like alley

[white frost]

5 idiots protesting for better swords vs a knight who was dragged into this

[safe rain]

Mmmmmm thats a good explosive, but some cultures have better fire weaponry by the year 1490

[grave pecan]

tbh if we did that people would steal the whole kit and become a knight on beggar

unless they disallow stealing from champions lol

[safe rain]

"Ill give you 100 peffins For their heads"

[white frost]

or maybe they like disable stealing in that one specific game mode

would be cool though

[safe rain]

They cannot be protected no more once their heads are gone

[white frost]

u have 5 people with you vs a knight

[safe rain]

With a more advanced ai

[white frost]

exactly

[safe rain]

That way it can be more threatning

A real knight needs only one move to put a beggar to the floor

[white frost]

lowkey though what do i want is an option to brawl in the Tavern

[safe rain]

We need the ability to throw rocks mid-battle as a last Resource

[naive depot]

i think there should be something like a light watching you from the sky in abyss

[white frost]

would be cool

[white frost]

nah

[safe rain]

Like good watching the abyss fights?

[white frost]

we need the ability to throw shit mid battle

[naive depot]

yea

[grave pecan]

you can

it requires skill

[safe rain]

A man Left with nothing has 2 things

His mind

And His shit

[white frost]

no like

"shit"

as in feces

[white frost]

would be better if there was a mechanic where u can smear it on your opponent's face

😭

LOL

Spit

And blind the oponent

[grave pecan]

best part about free mode is the 0.02 poleaxe

[outer minnow]

My best knight set is this one, I stacked as much metal as possible

The set weighs 72.16 kg alone

Otherwise known as 159.08 lbs

Combined with my now 96 kg character means that my character is in total 168.16 kg or 370.73 lbs

[sleek gull]

Hadn't really added up the armor weight before.

That is wildly inaccurate. A full suit of medieval steel plate armor, would weigh around 50lbs.

Dunno where the other 100 lbs comes from in this game

[outer minnow]

Well it says the hauberk is 18.5 kg alone, which is 40.78 lbs

[sleek gull]

imagine! lol. That would be insane! lol

[outer minnow]

Yep

Insanity

[outer minnow]

I can’t imagine walking in 159 lbs of armor

[sleek gull]

I bet you could walk, but thats as far as movement would go lol

[outer minnow]

Yeah, I mean if you were like beefy you could totally be fine

[sleek gull]

I can carry around my wife on my back, but like, slowly, and without being able to do anything else lol

[outer minnow]

But you’d have to be beefy beefy

[sleek gull]

Nah, I don't work out at all. I'm 175 of fat. lol

[outer minnow]

Ok, but to be fair, the weight is spread out across your entire body

So actually you’d maybe be fine

[hollow quiver]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1474170000083255359/1493597756999204864/mistorbeast.gif

[outer minnow]

Historically btw, a hauberk would actually weigh anywhere from 9 - 20 kg

So not insane

[near grotto]

Another stolen account, sad

[hollow quiver]

stealed by mc paint hackers

[sleek gull]

I presume the full suit of steel armor, includes the padding and chain worn with it.

Going to look that up though

[outer minnow]

Plate armor doesn’t go with a hauberk

The plate armor wouldn’t have chainmail underneath, the chainmail would be only on the outer edges of the plate armor

[rapid pond]

do you guys know what the blade module for the demo baron's greatsword is ?

[outer minnow]

Everything else would be gambeson

[sleek gull]

As far as I have learned, yes, it was common to wear chain mail and padding under plate armor

[outer minnow]

But not full chain like my character has on

[sleek gull]

Yeah, not a full on hauberk.

[outer minnow]

And if it was it was the light variants

[outer minnow]

Ye

[tardy radish]

are swords even usable past veteran rank?

[outer minnow]

Technically yes

[tardy radish]

I'm trying my darn best to use it in the veteran tourney but all the enemies are fully armoured with polearms

[outer minnow]

Precision attacks or bludgeoning with sword is technically useable

[outer minnow]

Yeah, it’s not a good choice, but you can technically win

[near grotto]

Half sword fail scenario

[tardy radish]

Idk how you're managing to bludgeon them, I can't even build up enough momentum to bludgeon them because their polearm blocks me in close range

[outer minnow]

Luck, and also I don’t, I know it’s possible as I’ve seen someone do it, but I use poleaxes

[outer minnow]

I recommend swapping weapons

But if you wanna stick with the sword be ready for a lot of suffering and losing fights

[tardy radish]

Maybe my sword is just too light

[outer minnow]

You are also using a weapon that is meant only for unarmored or lightly armored targets

It’s like using an M4 against an APC

[tardy radish]

Yeah but it's the most satisfying weapon to use even if uneffective lol

[outer minnow]

You can technically damage it, but it’s so hard to do

[outer minnow]

I honestly prefer the spike headed poleaxe, I love piercing people’s plate armor

[signal wedge]

Hi fizzy

[outer minnow]

Cause you can halfsword the poleaxe and then it becomes a lot more controlled and more powerful

[sleek gull]

Oh Hai!!

[tardy radish]

That thing is the worst when enemies use it lol

[outer minnow]

Yes

It is very effective against anyone

Even unarmored targets

It’s the all around best weapon for being able to kill anyone, not the best for killing unarmored targets tho

Since swords and axes exist

Best imo for killing armored targets tho, it’s an amazing can opener

[tardy radish]

I think the only thing worse is the spiked flail

The handle on that goddamn thing is stoic

You go for a lethal blow but you graze the handle of the flail and it completely kills all of your momentum

[eternal scaffold]

I love the spiked flail you can halfsword it and swing it at the speed of light

[tardy radish]

[elder tendon]

u can def use swords past veteran but you gotta make sure it's big and you're gonna need to do a lot of pommel strikes and half-swording

aiming the tip of the blade under their arms and stuff

armpit stabs

[warm brook]

is there any way to revert the sensitivity nerf via commands or editing? Or even just rebind jump or kick?

[sleek gull]

So fast!

[tardy radish]

zombies are stupid and I hate them

clothing and armour only ever works when zombies are wearing it

[sullen wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-snail-gary-slime-gif-11015967445393774327

[tardy radish]

you could axe through a regular enemy whose wearing one of those padded shirts like they're nothing

zombie puts on one of those shirts and suddenly every single strike bounces off them

[wicked depot]

I figured out a tech. You can stab with your feet

You just gotta be standing on top of them and kick downwards

[iron halo]

how do you do that side step so quickly ?

[tardy radish]

one thing I'd love to have is the ability to customise the camera offset like other 3rd person games

[sleek gull]

I hold shift the entire fight.

First with Shift, Second Without Shift

[tardy radish]

is there a way to make the camera not gradually look down?

I keep on swinging too high to adjust for my dumbass of a character looking at the floor

[sleek gull]

Sadly no. I usually release Left Mouse Button, adjust, and hold it down again if I need to recenter

The part I usually clip out, lol. The initial "look up"

[tardy radish]

that combo'd with the way FOV works makes it very annoying experience

enemies simultaneously look too far and too close

[sleek gull]

it can be. My FoV, is one notch to the right. Just a little further back, without distorting the depth perception.

Also allows you to see a little more upclose to the action in clips. Imo

[spark axle]

new zweihander meshes

[sleek gull]

Releasing the LMB to readjust really does make a huge difference though.

[sleek gull]

I love it, but the cross guard is too big! I'd make it thinner, and more elegent looking

[tardy radish]

it doesn't really help with the crappy depth perception for me
I can't fathom why the camera is overhead instead of to the side

[sleek gull]

This bit, looks too thick imo

[iron halo]

did you make your sword or is it just bought from the trader? I cant make a well balanced sword for the life of me.

[sleek gull]

Dunno, never really bothered me.

[sleek gull]

I'm in the demo. This is a sort of custom sword. Its all stock values, just had a modder put together the pieces I liked so I wasn't stuck in Random Weapon Generator hell for weeks lol

[crude flower]

Krill issue

[crude flower]

Gotta be super thick. Here's hoping it has a good balance at least

[iron halo]

ah okok i'll keep my cinderblock stick then.

[spark axle]

I could maybe slim down the component in the halfsword engine but I dont think it would be possible to tweak the model itself without a ton of work

[sleek gull]

I do love this beaut though

[sleek gull]

Well! Get to work then! = )

[iron halo]

that is really nice i like the green.

[sleek gull]

Same! It completes the drip

[stuck fjord]

Over/under 50% chance of him getting back up?

[sleek gull]

Thats a pretty devistating blow lol. My money is on no.

[white frost]

no

[iron halo]

i can hear the crunch from this image

[spark axle]

@sleek gull longer grip, shorter guard, looks a lot more proportional now

[sleek gull]

Did it change how it feels significantly?

[spark axle]

Not massively, but it doesn't matter much, tweaking the handling is the last thing I do

[iron halo]

how do i upload an image from the in game gallery ?

[sleek gull]

fell apart like a toy lol

[tardy radish]

do you prefer onehanders over twohanders?

[sleek gull]

I'm a 2H Long Sword lover.

But I can get down with the 1H stuff. Especially with a buckler

[versed wedge]

playing half sword without plate armor feels like I'm out of butter because literally every hit either makes me fall down and die because they finish me off or just kills me

[tough hollow]

Whens the pack going to be out?

[stuck fjord]

Did I get him

[sleek gull]

Some Sword and Buckler action

[sleek gull]

try this. I feel like it makes it feel more balanced

[white frost]

GRAHH!!!!

[tardy radish]

the hit so hard it crashed my game

[tough hollow]

i thnk there mightve been some other reasons also

[tardy radish]

I love swordplay, it's so elegant

kinda seems like an awkward way to hold this kind of weapon

[stuck fjord]

You'd be surprised, it's my faaaavorite for grappling. You get really precise movements with both ends with that configuration

[spark axle]

idk sometime in the next few weeks

[vital perch]

sorry , i'm just really stingy today 😔 i should eat some food im hungry

[stuck fjord]

That's what I'm saying, having such a heavy weight able to move so fast is probably the best close range tool in the game

[vital perch]

oh yeah , and i finished mega man 1.

tried to do it in one life , did it in two.

[sleek gull]

GG!!! Thats awesome!

[grave pecan]

demo or ea?

[vital perch]

neither , both suck

Both actually. But mainly EA

Even the wall painting was shocked to find out that my opponent was a vampire

[tardy radish]

I'll make another one with a blunt head, the axehead isn't weighty enough to really do any good impacts on helmeted enemies

[vital perch]

now i'm curious

how the fuck is clothesline a real move if it does basically zero dmaage

is it meant to knock someone over or

what rank/level do you need to be to upload clips and screenshots ?

[tough hollow]

[iron halo]

thank you

[rapid pond]

im really happy with that one

[tardy radish]

it seems I'm stabbing myself haha

did I make it too short?

[sick plaza]

ts effect so fckn cool

[rotund palm]

For some reason that metal part that you can add to your poleaxe causes the hand positions to be broken

My guess is they havent tested with the short version and only did with the long version

[proud cliff]

😭 I was trying to block his attack with his arm but I forgot arms can phase through swords

[rotund palm]

You didnt make it too short, if you remove the metal reinforcement bit itll be fixed

No idea

This was the early days of demo

[jolly elk]

holy moly this was the cleanest chop ive ever gotten

[copper whale]

can you guys give any tips to using polearms

[rapid pond]

Follow throught with the momentum, dont go full speed

[copper whale]

my characters feel like they can't swing it without dragging it across the floor at times

[tardy radish]

you're swinging too fast

[rapid pond]

Find your pace, build up momentum with slower movements until you strike with full force

[rapid pond]

How heavy is it (

[copper whale]

idk , sometimes the zombies drop some and Oh look , my baby arms can't swing them

[stone kite]

brand new to the halfsword full edition
using a pitchfork

Can you choke people out with it? I got a guy's head stuck between the prongs and he just started choking (choke sounds and weak, slow swings) so I threw him against a wall

Literally the only attack I did against him was just alt thrusting it forward so it threw him back. No bleeding from stabs or anything

I don't know if I maybe nicked his throat just a little or if I was actually strangling the guy

[rapid pond]

You can see the weight in your inventory if you play progression

[shell forge]

"Help! A wooden pollaxe got jammed in my friend's sternum!"

[rapid pond]

Chocking is part of the new mechanics yea

[stone kite]

that's actually so cool

[rapid pond]

As well as ball damage

[stone kite]

wait, nutkicks matter now?

[rapid pond]

Yea

They do a fuckton of damage

[stone kite]

that alone is worth the price tag lmfao

[shell forge]

Kinda wish ball stabs or slashes behaved like dismemberment instead of vital organ damage

[rapid pond]

You just wanna see a dangling willie dont you

Cause they dont die they just yell for a bit and give up

[stone kite]

Sus

[shell forge]

I mean, scrotal trauma is a surviveable wound, albeit a very painful one

[tardy radish]

they're long heavy weapons, move your mouse slower than you would with a sword because the momentum will lead the head of the polearm

if you swing your mouse too quickly you'll just be hoisting the handle like a fool

[rapid pond]

Also adrenaline seems to kinda work now

[stone kite]

try to lower your sensitivity a bit
Makes swinging a lot easier

I personally play on 25~% sensitivity because it makes it so I don't flail my sword or polearm around

[stone kite]

Adrenaline?

[tardy radish]

can you choke someone out by grabbing their neck?

[rapid pond]

Basically willie staying up and yelling before you gain control again

In the demo you or the ai would just be stuck yelling

Now you get controll again

[stone kite]

I would imagine

[rapid pond]

Not to death currently, its probably unfinished but yes

And they give up if they are hurt enought

[tacit grove]

They do make a stranglation noise when I grab their head so, presumably yes. I don't think it does damage though

[rapid pond]

Soften em up and strangulate them

[stone kite]

Yeah for me the guy kinda just became weak

Choking, holding his neck with one hand and flailing weakly with the other, super easy to throw him into a cellar wall, too

[tacit grove]

Favorite kind of coffee??

[stone kite]

mocha
I'm a sucker for chocolate

[rapid pond]

They basically automatically become limp when chocked, even you (tried via pvp)

Its a free win card if you manage to choke an armored knight

[river onyx]

has there been any word of update?

[tacit grove]

Bold

[rapid pond]

Not yet, still needs time to cook

[tardy radish]

tea

[stone kite]

wouldn't they have a coif or whatever the throat plate thing is called?

[tacit grove]

Gorget or Bevor

[stone kite]

ty

[rapid pond]

The bevor ? Sometimes.

Sometimes they just dont wear shit, not even standards

[stone kite]

tellin me you can choke them through metal plate?

[tacit grove]

Gorget is typically cloth, padding, whatever (I have a leather one irl) and the Bevor is a whole plate system by itself I've seen

[stone kite]

yeah the Bevor/plate neck protection thingy is what I'm picturing

[stone kite]

but if they don't always have one that makes more sense I guess

[crude flower]

You can't?

[tacit grove]

For balancing, most enemies I've experienced at Man-At-Arms tier don't have a bevor.

[stone kite]

oh cool okay

[tacit grove]

By knight they do most of time, still not always

[rapid pond]

The problem being they either have none, or the less effective in the configuration (salet but no bevor/standards but open face helmet)

[tardy radish]

I find it weird the enemies in man at arms can still use the flail and spikestick

[tacit grove]

It's effective, isn't it? 🤣

Jokes aside, yes odd.

[tardy radish]

I accept defeat when all 3 enemies use the spikestick in the tournament lol

[rapid pond]

With spring vacations coming real soon i do hope we get a "status update" at least

I dont wanna be bored for these vacations

[tacit grove]

Personally, I quite like fighting them, even with no armor, as long as you don't run into the spikes and get flankfucked they are wicked easy to catch/parry.

[tardy radish]

I think the main issue is that all my favourite weapons are pretty much useless against them so I'm forced to fight fire with fire

I like using the short poleaxe but the long handle almost always gets caught on the stick so I lose all momentum if I try to go for an attack

Same situation with any sword

[tacit grove]

The halberd?

[tardy radish]

Custom short poleaxes

[tacit grove]

Mm, ok

[tardy radish]

Length from hand to head is same as length from hand to pommel so swinging in close range just gets me jammed in their handle

[rapid pond]

No one complains about the the demo jankyness

[viscid vortex]

ok

[upper frost]

if you run and kick i find that you get a way stronger kick, but i think i gotta test that more because you cant control what leg you kick with iirc

[outer minnow]

Dual Rondel Daggers

[sharp orchid]

yeah the more force you have behind the kick the stronger it is. Spinning does this too

and it actually is kinda possible to control the kick from what i've seen

[tardy radish]

kung fu tech in half sword is crazy

[upper frost]

i thought it followed a strict pattern of left kick then right kick etc

[tardy radish]

can you control what leg you kick with or is it just luck?

[sharp orchid]

if you spam it yeah it does. But i've seen tha if you get the leg you want to kick with behind you or a little in the air thats what you will kick with

its kinda weird to do it but its possible

[lyric junco]

Also you can double jump if you time it right

[sharp orchid]

a demonstration of what i mean

its kinda hard to do consistently but yeah you can do it

[tidal sapphire]

[tidal sapphire]

You guys think this is a glitch or because I play on low graphics?

[sharp orchid]

this is a gltich, i got that wierd ring too

[tardy radish]

I hate the absolute SHIT out of polearm enemies

[sharp orchid]

man i love this mod

[outer minnow]

Just don’t get hit

It’s that easy

[outer minnow]

Just broke his jaw with a roundhouse and then banished him

[tardy radish]

The 3 horsemen

[outer minnow]

Of what? Bs weapons to fight against?

[tardy radish]

yurp

[wicked depot]

For sure compared to normal kicks, but you dont straight up crush every bone in your path normally

In the last clip the guy literally died from a gentle kick to the nuts

[twilit escarp]

if I watched one of my buddies get killed that effortlessly I would not be stepping in to continue fighting

[outer minnow]

Me when I slice 4 of the 5 guys in a riot in half and the last guy runs at me while wearing nothing but pants

[twilit escarp]

i normally just end up beating them to death with my hands, does that mean there's something wrong with me?

[outer minnow]

Nah, I think it’s more smth wrong with me considering you’re technically sparing their lives

[twilit escarp]

now, I would be, if I stopped when they gave up.

[outer minnow]

I’m collecting kills like Pokémon, I’m at 311 vengeful spirits

[sullen wagon]

"to death"
honestly I'd rather die in agony for a few short seconds than be pulped for tens of seconds

[twilit escarp]

goddamn, I have more money than god in my progression, so I can just pay the butcher's bill and not worry about the abyss

I think the highest I got was 124 souls?

[outer minnow]

Eh, doesn’t count as kills unfortunately

[twilit escarp]

before I got worried and paid them off

[outer minnow]

I can also do that, but I enjoy watching the number go up

I take pride in it

[sullen wagon]

even after resetting completely (and being rid of all my kaching bling) i still make sure i set aside enough for the funeral

[twilit escarp]

Me? I'm a good Catholic, I pay for my innumerable sins and savagery with money.

[outer minnow]

I like the fact they want me dead and enjoy the fact they won’t rest as long as I live

[sullen wagon]

if they want me dead so bad why don't they crawl through the dirt and drag me to hell personally

either cowardice or impotence

[twilit escarp]

because Hell is a basement with a really high ceiling and very few ladders.

i see a lot of bad reviews on that

[sharp orchid]

i mean im not one to say if its good or bad

but its different for sure

[rough dust]

yikes

[sharp orchid]

it takes some getting used to

[rough dust]

like

different how

not specifically but in erm

managable words

[sharp orchid]

like wrists are more limp in ea, they gonna fix it later on but for now thats how it is

so using heavy weapons is a bit annoying on occasion

[rough dust]

yikes

[shell forge]

That's his soul

[rough dust]

do you think itll go on sale

[sharp orchid]

i mean you missed ALL the sales so far

[rough dust]

WHAT

i just got the demo B(

[sharp orchid]

there was one on release back in january/early febuary

[rough dust]

yikes

[sharp orchid]

and a few other smaller ones for holidays and what not

[rough dust]

thats

unfortunate

[sharp orchid]

is ts tuff

[shell forge]

Ever wish you could put two handed swords/maces/hafted in the shield slot?

[past kestrel]

pretty normal

also

[bleak bramble]

ew

[past kestrel]

dont you just hate it when your character immediately drops their weapon after being hit once (by a small hit to the torso mind you)

[sharp orchid]

broke every bone in his body

[sand torrent]

did the new update drop yet

[paper acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/half-sword-halfsword-half-sword-half-sword-meme-halfsword-meme-gif-8193192904156129592

[shell forge]

Still wish he lived long enough to have his face be added to 0.6

[paper acorn]

They had the best mascot for this game and they just let him go.

Willie should be the main character if they ever make a story mode

[shell forge]

Alternatively, he could be a less common champion replacement https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1471194898253348996

[soft osprey]

He only became the mascot because he was the character model for years but he was just a randomly generated face as a placeholder

That being said

[soft osprey]

Fuck every character Thats not Willie

[sharp orchid]

nah i kinda fw konrad tbh

[hoary canopy]

what on EARTH is that

[soft osprey]

No you don’t

Idiot

[sharp orchid]

he always looks angry so it kinda works

yk?

[sharp orchid]

wydm, that aint earth

[sharp orchid]

I dont think hes supposed to be ther

[median needle]

Are there ways to have fist fights on free mode like in the demo and playtest?

[shut gale]

yeah they're called brawls

[sharp orchid]

that in progression

[median needle]

Nope in free mode

[sharp orchid]

i mean just find a peasant and disarm him

[median needle]

I hate that they got rid of that man

[sharp orchid]

and throw his weapon off

[shut gale]

oh shidd i didn't see the free mode mb 😭

[soft osprey]

Is this some sort of new Willie spider variant

[sharp orchid]

yeah its spider willie and i didnt just fling him there and had him get stuck

[winged moon]

this stupid game legit crashed twice in a row on the same fuckin round

its almost unplayable atp

[sharp orchid]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1478262035950211102/MedalTVHalfSword20260302175706659-tr-edit-1772515475-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif

[shut gale]

so is the abyss just full of people who failed the abyss previously?

[winged moon]

its full of all the NPCs you killed

if you win by knock out it wont add any to the abyss

[stuck epoch]

feels a lil cursed playing with the camera on the opposite side

[winged moon]

but if you kill them fully then the zombies go up

[sharp orchid]

yeah but if YOU die, you have to fight in the abyss to get your soul redeemed. and if you do you revive. so you should assume the npcs had this option as well and all failed

[shut gale]

aye i'm aware of that but did they fail the abyss prior

[winged moon]

i guess then if your askin abt the lore

[sharp orchid]

type shit

[paper acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/i-am-legend-zombie-undead-open-mouth-gif-17845447

[sharp orchid]

I dont think his hair is suposed to do that

[shell forge]

For as long as Half Sword was only just a playable proof-of-concept, that was plenty of time for people to get attached to the baby-faced baldie

[tawdry vale]

Flinched like an abused dog when I saw this

[cursive folio]

55 days since the last update :(

[tidal sapphire]

Has anyone else have this glitch before? ( I slash him in the chest and a new 2ND chest popped out of nowhere )

[misty gazelle]

A+ on that.

[sharp orchid]

DAMN that was good

[misty gazelle]

will be honest, that was completely unintentional, lol, just worked out

[wicked depot]

Nice pommel combo

[misty gazelle]

my best EA combo so far.

[sharp saffron]

bros fighting in the highway

lmao

[wicked depot]

No mercy

[lost rover]

Smitor space backstory

[wicked depot]

Quit 1 upping all my clips 😭

[misty gazelle]

... Ouch

[sharp orchid]

got more than 1 kill in that clip

[misty gazelle]

and another one

[sharp orchid]

helmet throw

yeah gn yall

[misty gazelle]

Have a good one

[shell forge]

Are champions supposed to be a 2v1, or am i eating a case of the ol' skill issue?

[outer minnow]

A merc will accompany you into a champion fight

If you own one

[shell forge]

Yeh, but it feels like their superhuman nature is meant to encourage bringing a mercenary

[outer minnow]

It’s up to the person, champions are easy to me, but won’t be easy for everyone to fight

[shell forge]

Welp, I got my revenge in the form of a wooden stake to his heart

[outer minnow]

Ah, low armor ratings

Champions actually become easier at higher ranks because of them being less able to 1 shot

[outer minnow]

Also good job

[misty gazelle]

Just barely missed his balls with that one.

[shell forge]

Meanwhile, a regular commoner tanking the actual Baron's Sword to the chest. I probably should've brought a stake to an axe fight

[outer minnow]

Baron’s sword?

That’s the wrong blade?

[shell forge]

Duplicated it in OVRDTH's to make the Better Baron's Sword, which is closer to what the Black Knight used in the demo

[outer minnow]

Huh, there was a golden armored guy in the demo

[shell forge]

The commoner boss: The black knight

[outer minnow]

Oh that guy

“Knight”

[shell forge]

He is adverse to pitchforks, but thankfully, none of his assailants are smart enough to face him with one

Axes prove to be just as deadly 👀

[misty gazelle]

oops all cut throats.

[wicked depot]

Thats better!

[shell forge]

I can safely say that losing a leg in the abyss is a softlock

[restive cave]

Not if you're goated

[magic lintel]

i finaly get knighty

in demo

i play demo even though i have the full game

because full game is more laggy than demo

and is unplayable

[wicked depot]

I feel like the balancing system got worse. Like whether you're standing up or ragdolled. Willies behave like giant gyroscopes and are able to stand up midair and correct their orientation while flying

[misty gazelle]

yeah, EA feels like ass compared to demo

cant do the same maneuvers i used to in demo

[pallid token]

fucked up

keep that elbow up next time

[pallid token]

yeah, EA really is in an ass spot right now

i have like, over 100 hours in the demo now while barely being over 50 in EA

EA is fun, but the demo just feels so much better

[misty gazelle]

^

[pallid token]

i hope they fix their shit in the next update, considering that they've been taking over 2 months in making it

[misty gazelle]

I miss being able to batter shields out of the way, or being able to halfsword effectively, like

[pallid token]

one would hope they're gonna introduce a lot of fixes and content

[misty gazelle]

its in the games name

[pallid token]

yeah..

its also just so annoying that you get knocked over so much in EA

i spend 40% of the time i play EA on the ground

[pallid token]

plus you cant do this shit in EA because you have paper machè wrists

[misty gazelle]

you cant do shit like this anymore

[pallid token]

yeah

demo combat is soo satisfyinfg

its like crack

[molten cove]

whats the name of the horse on the forest map?

[misty gazelle]

Schpungo

[pallid token]

also hey, atleast my fucking game doesent crash everytime i dismember someone in the demo

[tired cypress]

how to saw off people head

[outer minnow]

Any bladed weapon works

[vapid cipher]

You can knock down other willies just the same

You can bullcharge with a halfgripped blunt weapon and even champions get floored

[vapid cipher]

Yes you can in EA

You don't even need to be high tier. Most of my failed NDR attempts happen around peasant/commoner. The axe feels very smooth to flow with

Wait I have something

[misty gazelle]

I can't seem to do it as easily as I had back in Demo. And i've tried a fair bit. Shields are held like they're glued to the enemy now and you dont really get that kinda opening without a full on stagger and he's on his ass anyway.

happy to be proven otherwise though!

[vapid cipher]

Can you do this in demo?

[misty gazelle]

... yes?

need mods to get the extra axe but thats just swinging left and right until dudes fall over.

[vapid cipher]

Doubt. Greataxe is heavier in demo

[vapid cipher]

Possible in ultimate challenge

[pallid token]

even if you can.. what about it? its not like its some.. impressive feat of the physics engine.. you're just swinging a forward heavy two handed weapon into a guy untill they fall over

[vapid cipher]

Speaking of shield and glue, I was playing EA abyss yesterday, and my back pavise is randomly dragging me around. THAT's an actual issue

I had to take it off for the rest of the run

[misty gazelle]

Yeah, theres collision issues with the shields among other things. I don't use them very often to begin with so its not a huge loss on my end.

I'm just hoping that they can be manipulated like in Demo with the coming update, or atleast in their sights to fix up at least.

[vapid cipher]

Willie ended up moving extremely slowly, with constant inertia from the back or the left, as if it's stuck to the stretched enemy meat (like in demo UC)

It only happens in the abyss though

[vapid cipher]

The only oversight when it comes to weapon wielding is how you stab. Every other complaint boils down to skill issue.

[restive cave]

Wrists are better though which makes it possible

[vapid cipher]

I can't deny how stabbing isn't as precise as in demo

Which isn't precise neither

[shell forge]

Ever manage to wedge an object into a person's noggin and it becomes load bearing?

[misty gazelle]

Stabs are broken, but wrists are still an issue. Theres really wierd overextensions that can happen that tangle your character up.

[vapid cipher]

But when wielding spears and such, I find myself impaling willie into the ground more often

[restive cave]

When you wield a very heavy weapon you Often find Willie start like flinging the weapon around in one hand for no reason

[frozen wyvern]

I hate the jank that happens sometimes when you switch between normal and halfsword grip

[misty gazelle]

^

[restive cave]

Although it's slightly better than in demo, if your wrists somehow bugged you'd be stuck for a solid 5-6 seconds

[vapid cipher]

I've beaten the game with a 4kg polearm.
I was flailing at first, but swinging slower helped me out

And assume a ready stance as well. This is a hema based game

[misty gazelle]

Yup.

[vapid cipher]

The polearm was custom-made and max range

[vapid cipher]

In the demo it was MUCH worse

Willie used to often find himself crossing his arms when halfgripping

[misty gazelle]

I dunno, I find it much worse in EA tbh, i can easily recreate it.

I'd have to fumble hard in demo

like so.

[vapid cipher]

I feel like streaming half sword rn

Either a casual demo run or i keep attempting EA no death

[tired tapir]

yeah

i finally cleared the hell that is demo abyss

but it seems like I can get baron armour

[rapid pond]

Ea no death is too easy try ea no death no stealing no insuring, makes the game a fair lot more challenging

[vapid cipher]

My rules are I can only used scavenged weapons and clothing from opponents

And no surrendering

[vapid cipher]

Between knight and baron boss in EA took me like 2 hours

[tired tapir]

also this happened in one gameplay

[vapid cipher]

At least it wasn't commoner boss' sword

[tired tapir]

It was the commoner boss sword.

GG

[misty gazelle]

closest thing i could get to a shield batter so far, even then, lol

[tired tapir]

Grip swapping polearms are full of whimsy

[misty gazelle]

dude just ignored the flying mace to the face.

also ouch

[delicate ermine]

i threw willie and he got stuck like this in place

[lyric junco]

A worthy competition

[vital bluff]

Pfp is accurate

[sharp elk]

Yo fellas

Reminder from the Abyss

[sharp elk]

In every step of life it is difficult

You can, we can

Just persist friend

[tired tapir]

Until this happens

[sharp elk]

Yup

[sharp elk]

Someone lost his soul for a crash

Xddd

[restive barn]

why is dude wearing no armor

[tired tapir]

Would be funny if we could wear that shoulder plate on both sides

Like how samurai armour looks

[tough hollow]

thats a weird looking staff

[restive barn]

no clue why the game thinks it's 5.01 kg

it's actually exactly 5 kg

[small cairn]

i wonder what animals will be added outside of horses

[tough hollow]

bees

[small cairn]

nah we already got those

[tough hollow]

bigger bees

[small cairn]

please no

that crosses the line

some kind of wolf or other wild predator could be cool, since there is a bite mechanic already

but they dont seem to have added anything for like 2 months almost :(

[tough hollow]

modders will probably start making custom entitys soon

they were already altering willy DNA in the demo

[small cairn]

the best dna

idk how modders would get 4 legs to work togheter tho

[tough hollow]

me neither

[small cairn]

and if ur adding a wolf, i mean youd want it to behave like a wolf

wolfs arent constantly charging like a zombie for instance lol

my biggest dream, a lion or cougar or bear

[tough hollow]

halfsword is such a refresher

it be sick to fight creatures in a physic based game

[restive barn]

mhm okay uhh

you can add custom anims prob

if you cant you can just make the hind legs the main legs and the front legs arms

[small cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/puppy-limp-cute-gif-5155635

[restive barn]

i ran into somebody from my school that used my mods

in half sword

[small cairn]

what a flex

genuinelly lmao

[restive barn]

they were so fucking suprised they thought "chrome334" was just some dude

[tough hollow]

did you give them 10 thousand dollars?

[restive barn]

ne

[tough hollow]

bruh

[small cairn]

i only like use halfsword enhancer

[restive barn]

i think im famous now

i mean 44k mod downloads ive been famous

[small cairn]

bear might be eazier to deal with behaviour wise

but how would a modder make a limb both work as a swiping paw and a walking leg

gonna be hard alright

[tough hollow]

did my jouster dud ework

did he win

[restive barn]

didn't work

corrupted

[tough hollow]

[rapid pond]

I hope kcd2 gets a discount during that time

[white frost]

?!!

😱

[restive barn]

lmao yep i turned it into a modularweaponbp

[rapid pond]

Does that mean it can be used in progression now ?

[restive barn]

yes

you always could

[rapid pond]

Trye

Can i see arquebus vs lords tourney

"K" key spam

[white frost]

did u just update it rn?

[restive barn]

not updated yet

[restive barn]

soon

[rapid pond]

Update the mod at the same time as the major just for funsies

[frank rose]

arquebus is inaccurate

i mean the aim

any fix

[outer minnow]

It’s a smoothbore rifle, of course it’s inaccurate

[frank rose]

i try it point blank range

still cant even fire properly

[outer minnow]

Sounds like skill issue

[frank rose]

its point black range

[outer minnow]

Still sounds like a skill issue

Also

[outer minnow]

Blank*

love is temporary, murder is eternal 💝

it doesnt really mater does it

[outer minnow]

And that’s why you should murder everyone

[frank rose]

epee pee peen

Nope, but it’s funny

food rationing

[outer minnow]

What is the weight of the straw creature?

[lyric junco]

11kg

[outer minnow]

Getting somewhere

[frank rose]

he has -100 appetite per seconds

[lyric junco]

starv because i missclicked on give up instead of save your soul when i died and had to recreate him but the name thingy on the one save editing website that does work does not allow changing the number of characters your name has to he is too poor for even full name

[outer minnow]

He’s the weight of a medium sized dog

[frank rose]

uesave trumank

[lyric junco]

this website HATES me

[frank rose]

ah

[lyric junco]

if it could it would gas my entire house

[outer minnow]

Karma for creating a creature of straw and hope

[frank rose]

i see the problem

[lyric junco]

nah, he can swing a 410g knife now, he is winning

[outer minnow]

He’s still made of straw and hope

Just more straw has been added

Slightly more

Not much

[zealous plinth]

hello

[outer minnow]

an economist would start beating you up aggresively, he increased his muscles by 366%!

[zealous plinth]

the barons beak is op

[outer minnow]

He went from 1 piece of straw to 4 2/3 pieces of straw, wow

[outer minnow]

Yes

[lyric junco]

he weighs about two cats

[outer minnow]

Medium dog

[outer minnow]

This weight while being the size of a person

[lyric junco]

a potato sack is heavier than him

[outer minnow]

Yes

My hauberk is heavier than him

By 7.5 kg

[zealous plinth]

it is super fun when you get a good crack at the side of there head

[lyric junco]

will he be a statue if i give him full plate armor?

[outer minnow]

Indeed, it’s also fun when you punch through their metal helmet because it’s a pick headed poleaxe

[outer minnow]

Probably not

It would definitely speed up weight gain tho

[zealous plinth]

its so peak

[lyric junco]

this is kinda hard now

[outer minnow]

Indeed

[outer minnow]

Good luck

[lyric junco]

i won

[outer minnow]

What rank btw?

[zealous plinth]

wtf is that thing

[outer minnow]

Still beggar

[lyric junco]

beggar

[outer minnow]

A creature

[lyric junco]

and i don't mean it in a weird kid kind of won

[outer minnow]

A thing that shouldn’t exist but does through hopes, dreams, and spite

[outer minnow]

Nice

[zealous plinth]

i remember i died when i was pretty high up and i had to kill about 150 thingy's

[outer minnow]

I’m currently at 327 vengeful spirits after me

And counting

[zealous plinth]

JEEZ

[lyric junco]

and mind you, the clever knife is a two handed weapon for me

[outer minnow]

I collect their misery, it’s lovely knowing that they’ll never rest as long as I live

[outer minnow]

Who would’ve guessed

[lyric junco]

me

[outer minnow]

When your arms are cooked spaghetti noodles

[zealous plinth]

who else dual wilds long swords

[lyric junco]

this is crazy because this mace is lighter than that knife

[outer minnow]

Nah, I use the Baron’s sword if imma use a sword

[zealous plinth]

same

[restive barn]

skill issue

[zealous plinth]

wtf

[outer minnow]

Truly, just block, parry, or dodge

It’s not that hard

[outer minnow]

Mod

[zealous plinth]

ohhhh

i only have mods on rdr2 and kdc2

[lyric junco]

armor issue

[outer minnow]

Yeah, you’d have to use nexus mods to add mods to the game I think

[outer minnow]

Both

[zealous plinth]

oh okay

[lyric junco]

I CAN ACTUALLY KIND OF FIGHT WITH IT!

[lone zephyr]

kcd looks cool i just hate maintaining stuff

[outer minnow]

What’s kcd?

[outer minnow]

Nice

[frank rose]

should i kill this guy

[lone zephyr]

kingdom come deliverance

[outer minnow]

Absolutely

[lone zephyr]

sm1 mentioned it so i felt like sharing

[zealous plinth]

my guy just stumbled like Michael jackson

[frank rose]

bullseye

in the eye

[outer minnow]

Amazing

[lyric junco]

you can always fight naked if you don't like maintaining armor, also iirc , you don't have to maintain it, it just loses class and stats when you ignore it

[lone zephyr]

praying the old woman beside me doesn’t see virtual corpse
