Super Destruction ball of destriciton an hui[i

[faint hawk]

They raked in some money-not much, mind you-and immediately abandoned the game...
They made a roadmap purely to keep players engaged.
Same with Megabonk.
They could have worked on the game and made a lot of money. Then they could have abandoned it later-that’s what the Megabank developer did.
But here, it’s completely different.
They could have at least added native mod support; modders would have polished the game, but no, apparently they didn’t want to.

@frank rose

[frank rose]

what

[misty basin]

ah yes the rocket of rockets

[faint hawk]

They should have corrected all their mistakes before doing anything new. Communication is everything, and they don't provide it.

[misty basin]

but the horse has to have even more detailed textures

[faint hawk]

I think the game should be ported to Unity, that's a great idea!

ADD MICROTRANSACTIONS!!

[misty basin]

nah man unreal engine 5 all the way

[faint hawk]

WE NEED MICROTRANSACTIONS!!

[misty basin]

but mircotransactions and a battlepass system ye

[rancid swan]

oh that is nice!

[misty basin]

we need the battlepass

[faint hawk]

hio

We need to unlock weapons for real money!

[misty basin]

lootboxes

[tough hollow]

89.99 unlock everything

[misty basin]

you need to buy a lootbox

to get the chance of a weapon

battlepass lets you unlock the ability to buy limited time lootboxes that give you the chance of getting any usefull weapon

at least the for the first time in history we are emitting less co2 than last year

i love solar

its from the sun so its free

[faint hawk]

Is it so hard for them to add a battle pass? That's all we need.

We also need cases! Also, sort the weapons by class, like epic and legendary, and so on.

Add pity 0\100 so that for each case opening it increases and on the hundredth opening a legendary weapon will drop!

[muted dew]

Can someone give advice what is the most lethal/effective polearm head/tip?

[faint hawk]

I love the beak-like tip, either because of a bug or because of a game feature, it literally pierces armor.

[rancid swan]

finally made it to veteran!

[rotund palm]

its a game feature

[rotund palm]

all of them are good

theres like 3 types

the beak which is good at stabbing

the axe is good at

slicing in general

and the others are just hammer heads in disguise

[muted dew]

What kind of is "beak like"?

And I'm not talking about pollaxes.

[carmine skiff]

holy sharp sword 😭

[rancid swan]

Man at Arms, let's goooo

[carmine skiff]

what sword is that bro

[misty gazelle]

big custom one

[carmine skiff]

i guess bro used the sharpness 3 enchantment

[misty gazelle]

everythings cranked, prolly why it seems sharp

but even then

[distant garnet]

yo guys what does this slider do

[carmine skiff]

it makes you lock on the target

if you max it it looks like an aimbot

[restive barn]

hey guys who wanna playetst tank mod\

i'm accepting playtesters

[carmine skiff]

i do but i need half sword

BUT IM GONNA BUY IT one day

[shut vortex]

Bro why is the ai so dumb it’s th dumbest ai I’ve ever encountered

[misty gazelle]

it just keeps your enemy centered

yeah its dogshit in EA

demo the AI is better, but only marginally

the ai gets 'better' at later ranks if anything

[frank rose]

me

[rotund palm]

just be original and pick one yourself

i never get people who just want to know what is the best at something, all of the polearm heads are effective if you play right

in that way of thinking the best weapon in the game is a poleaxe with the hammer head and nothing else

[shut vortex]

Bro how does your game look so good

[misty gazelle]

I dunno!

[shut vortex]

Bro I’m super confused what are you doing with your sword after swinging

[misty gazelle]

How do you mean?

[shut vortex]

You bring the sword and other items near your head after swinging bro

[misty gazelle]

Yeah, reverting to a high guard.

[shut vortex]

What is that bro

[muted dew]

I don't see an issue if asking for info about their effectiveness.

[misty gazelle]

think of it like a ready position, gives me a means to follow up with attacks, its a good way to get into a flow of strikes

[rotund palm]

theyre all very effective

[shut vortex]

What is the button to do it

[misty gazelle]

I try to replicate swordfighting techniques in the game, albeit a bit roughly.

It's not a button, I'm just maneuvering the sword up high with the mouse

[rotund palm]

what...

[muted dew]

Alright, thanks for your input.

[dreamy sequoia]

Beautiful accuracy as always Vincent

[rotund palm]

im sorry but its the truth

just test and see what works best for YOU

otherwise every single one is good on their own

[shut vortex]

Bro is it good

[rotund palm]

like id rather use a halberd but the weird one with the needle and hook can also be used just as well if not better

[misty gazelle]

Thanks returned :). And yeah, it's a good starting guard for attacks in general. If you pair them with sidesteps on your swings, you can get a bit of a high side-swipe of sorts that can lead into shots against the neck or head.

It's kinda hard to explain in text.

[dreamy sequoia]

I love the glaive heads on a super short polearm, they're fun

You're welcome!

[rotund palm]

glaive?

[dreamy sequoia]

Yeah theyre kind of a sword looking head with a tiny spike on the top of it

[rotund palm]

oh

[shut vortex]

Bro personally what I do is I just swing at their neck and really what happens is it works most of the time

[dreamy sequoia]

This is one of them

[twin bobcat]

isnt glaive like a spear with the end of a sword at the end of the stick

[rotund palm]

high guard is also just the most effective for me in parrying other polearms/axes

[misty gazelle]

^

[rotund palm]

i even do it with chromes arquebus mod

[misty gazelle]

It's very good for that.

[twin bobcat]

wait no nvm u explained it better i just misread it sorry

[muted dew]

Yeah, that's why I asked because some of them look very different.

[dreamy sequoia]

Theres a few different ones you can make, one even is hard to tell the difference between a pike or glaive head, sec I got one of those too.

[twin bobcat]

isnt a pike just REALLY long

[shut vortex]

Bro I know this spear that also has spikes on the side of it what do you do against it bro

[dreamy sequoia]

Pike is a pointy stick, super long one is a lance

[twin bobcat]

ngl i just swing and pray

[rotund palm]

theres a lot of people in many different communities doing this so im sorry if thats not your intent

[dreamy sequoia]

Try and side step the weapon, smash it down and go directly to their head from there

[misty gazelle]

oh, the plancon, or the prick stick, hate those things

You can catch them with your weapon held in half sword

[rotund palm]

theres one game community where the game has like 4 weapons and someones asking which is the best

its just stupid

[shut vortex]

But usually the spikes on the side get me and do a lot of damage instantly

[rotund palm]

nice parries lol

[dreamy sequoia]

Thats why you aim for the weapon before the willie. Deflect his attack

[shut vortex]

Bro so how do you get this outfit bro

[misty gazelle]

insure stuff you find in progression mode, it becomes available in freemode

[shut vortex]

Bro but someone on YouTube told me it is basically impossible to deflect attacks in this game

[misty gazelle]

And thanks 🙂

yeah, EA sucks to parry in

your chars wrists are arthritic and cant really hold the parry all that well

[dreamy sequoia]

Nah not at all, hit their shit hard and youre good

[shut vortex]

Bro so you say that and you’re good at it so what could make it better

[muted dew]

All good, I know many things are subjective for different people.
Another intent in my question was hearing other opinions of what they find effective.

I already have 120+ hours in game.

[rotund palm]

ah thats a very good question

[dreamy sequoia]

All in all, any weapon you use and how good it is comes down to how good you can play with that weapon. They've all got their own styles and quirks and some are easier to use than others

[misty gazelle]

Well, its hard to say what would make it better, the whole floppy-wrist thing in this version of the game doesn't help all that much, im just hoping its addressed when they patch next.

[dreamy sequoia]

I find the flop gets worse the longer the weapon is. Shorter stuff doesn't seem to ruin wrists as much lol

[rotund palm]

in this game rn blunt damage is OP and im sure theyll remove it soon enough so if id consider currently id just say to use blunt weapons or use polearms for the intent of blunt damage

[restive barn]

custom weapon variants 👀

[rotund palm]

if the game was updated to be fair with blunt damage and put emphasis on cutting people in the chinks of their armour then id use the knight tier halberd

the one that has 2 of its points sticking forward

i found it to be extremely sharp

[dreamy sequoia]

Its a great blade

[shut vortex]

Bro I noticed when a guy dies from bleeding out sometimes his body will fly in the air

[rotund palm]

W chrome once again

[dreamy sequoia]

It can cut, blunt and stab

[rotund palm]

@muted dew

[rotund palm]

WWWWWWWWWW

DID YOU MAKE THIS

[restive barn]

i didn't make the textures btw the devs did

[restive barn]

lmao it's leaked content from the files

[rotund palm]

oh

STILL

[restive barn]

yee but i'm an artist lmao

i am a man of many talents

[misty gazelle]

Yeah, which does make sense, but theres still just a general weakness with the way parries are carried out, mostly with non polarm weapons. Can't really catch much with my maces which should hold and deflect a parry no problem. Huge difference on how that was handled between EA and Demo

[carmine skiff]

jolly willie

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-patrick-star-jolly-happy-rainbow-and-sunshine-gif-11154688262827409004

[dreamy sequoia]

Very true, the way EA and demo play are noticeably very different.

[rotund palm]

yea i think the weapons in the game have just too much inertia at the moment

[muted dew]

I know blunt is OP.

[rotund palm]

like it feels like the weapons are 10x heavier than the game tells them to be and the compensation is that willie is just abnormally strong

[rotund palm]

look at what i typed below it

[rotund palm]

.

[restive barn]

more targes?

[shut vortex]

Bro throwing the weapons is fun

[dreamy sequoia]

Any pavise?

[restive barn]

tower pavise of st martin

[dreamy sequoia]

Ah thought that was a tower, my bad

[misty gazelle]

miss being able to catch a swing and counter off of it

[restive barn]

it's a tower PAVISE

lol

[dreamy sequoia]

Fair 😆

[restive barn]

but ye there are pavise textures

small and large pavise

any idea what this is of

[dreamy sequoia]

Large was the one I was mostly interested in.

[dreamy sequoia]

Battle won

[restive barn]

it was poland

why tf is there a polish shield in half sword

[dreamy sequoia]

I wanna know if there's any black army shit.

[rotund palm]

awesome

[dreamy sequoia]

They very much fought the Germans, and everyone else.

[muted dew]

Right. Well, gtg so thanks again!

[restive barn]

shields

[dreamy sequoia]

We need to upload johnhalfswords playstyle into AI to make a fight john mod

[carmine skiff]

you should make riot armor for the knight

[restive barn]

more shields

[restive barn]

no

[restive barn]

k i am cooking shields mod now🍳

[dreamy sequoia]

Yes i wanna fight him 1000 times to get better at the game.

[restive barn]

u will lose 800/1000 times

[carmine skiff]

hes gonna rip you in half

[dreamy sequoia]

Thats the idea

Cant get good without fighting good

[restive barn]

do u know what'll be funny

a mod that adds ea stuff to demo

[dreamy sequoia]

😆

Like floppy wrists

[carmine skiff]

great idea

[restive barn]

too bad thats pretty much impossible

[carmine skiff]

i need that

[frank rose]

but it will be 500 gb

[restive barn]

nah like 8 gb prolly

doing the devs' work for them

jk

[frank rose]

also demo would lag even more

if a mod like that even existed

[restive barn]

they look cool tho

should i make a dueling shield

[carmine skiff]

make riot shield

[frank rose]

you dont even know how to rig

do you know now

[restive barn]

buddy i am still half sword's #1 modder

other than luke

[frank rose]

godsfinestmistake is peak too

including his jjba pfp

[restive barn]

i am still the better modder

[frank rose]

also how would the dueling shield would even work

like does it

[restive barn]

well i could get a dueling shield model and add tips to both the spikes

[frank rose]

stab people

[restive barn]

i've done this jillions of time before

[frank rose]

give us bigger standarts first

[restive barn]

why the fuck do u want bigger standarts

[frank rose]

bigger standarts means more protection

[restive barn]

cool ass shields

[silk spire]

I saw these before

How’d you spawn them

[white frost]

crazy!!!!

[frank rose]

by spawning them

[white frost]

It's a mod

[restive barn]

mod that i made

[silk spire]

That black one is the best lowk

With the skeletons

[white frost]

Hopefully they can added to the game soon

[restive barn]

i like the golden "st martin" one

[silk spire]

how long has it been without an update

Lost count lowk

😭

[white frost]

uhhh

3 months

[silk spire]

That’s sad

[restive barn]

i'm releasing the shields mod soon under the name "shield variants"

these are all their own weapons

that u can add to ur save

[silk spire]

Is other shit from the demo portable to ea

Like the old baron helmet for example

[restive barn]

that's still in lmao

[silk spire]

ye I saw it in halfsword enhancer

But you can’t wear it

Anything from the demo in halfsword enhancer doesn’t work

For some reason

[white frost]

Isn't there already a mod for this?

[silk spire]

Demo shields

Not the ones that chrome has

[restive barn]

nah it's different

that one is a replacer

[white frost]

oh

[restive barn]

mine is seperate weapons

[white frost]

so it can include every shield?

[silk spire]

oh

My bad

[restive barn]

retextyre

[tepid vale]

is the game ever gonna be optimised?

great

love that

[restive barn]

yes

eventually

[white frost]

Gotchu

[dreamy sequoia]

Rekt

[tepid vale]

i feel like if they just released the demo on steam as the actual game in the first place it woulda took off more ngl

[spark axle]

The old baron armour works, but you need to add it directly to your inventory rather than spawning it with the enhancer

[restive barn]

that is cool as shit

[silk spire]

The old helmet was tuff

the new one is mid

[restive barn]

brought him home

[sly falcon]

why can't I take the gold armor off the king

[restive barn]

u have to kill him multiple times to get his armor

[sly falcon]

I've killed him twice now

[restive barn]

well u cant steal it

[spark axle]

I still prefer the new baron helmet because of that bigass bevor. With the old baron helmet, you could get stabbed in the neck like with the normal armet

[pine relic]

Has there been any updates since release?

[silk spire]

For some reason the new baron doesn’t have gold feet armor

that’s kinda odd

[frank rose]

new baron spent all his money on all the fancy gold armor

[silk spire]

And mercenaries

[spark axle]

that's the main reason I tried to re-add the old baron armour, for the gold sabatons. I guess it's a tradeoff for the fact that he has neck protection now, his feet are his only weak spot

[restive barn]

super buggy

[spark axle]

you unfortunately need to make your character bald to stop the hair clipping issue

the old armour is set up in a different way from the new stuff, so it doesn't account for the hair

[restive barn]

it's the slot it uses

[frank rose]

wait

[restive barn]

it uses head 1 instead of head 2

[spark axle]

it also doesn't really mesh properly with the clothing layer system, I think it treats the breastplate as chainmail

[frank rose]

is there a way to bypass the long hair limit

[restive barn]

that too

[restive barn]

no

with the shield

[spark axle]

not that I've found, the max hair length is a set model that you cant go beyond

A little WIP from my upcoming pack, I'm adding a few maker's marks to various weapon components as a way to credit the person who made the models

also a slight redesign of the general purpose curved blade, removed the clip point to make it look better for sabres

[frank rose]

how much kg does it have

[restive barn]

is it sharp

[spark axle]

it hasn't been rebalanced since I've updated the models, but it was about 1.1kg I think

[spark axle]

yeah it cuts and stabs

[restive barn]

can i have

[frank rose]

also

is the tavern owner's name gottfried

[restive barn]

yes

[frank rose]

ive been digging in the game files to try find some lore

[restive barn]

how

what method u using

[frank rose]

fmodel

[restive barn]

oh

[spark axle]

there is a lot hidden in the game files if you dig deep enough

[spark axle]

not yet, the pack's going to be finished within the week hopefully so I'm not handing out any previews until I'm at the balancing stage

[soft osprey]

Slurs 😭

[restive barn]

its just swear words, thankfully Frank didn't yell the N word

hopefully

[spark axle]

just the swearing lol

idk why the named it that though, they're just called insults for the normal player audio

[soft osprey]

open file
look inside

[opaque rose]

i hate how ur character has to be on the ground for a million godamn years

[soft osprey]

Just stand up

😎

[frank rose]

yes

stand up

[opaque rose]

[frank rose]

cancel the leg's vacation

[opaque rose]

[soft osprey]

Hold his family hostage

[opaque rose]

[frank rose]

moai why are you pushing old women again

[lost rover]

Because he has lethal gas

[frank rose]

make him happy

[frank rose]

make him a old man

[opaque rose]

make him angry

[restive barn]

@soft osprey what is your opinion on this

[soft osprey]

In my way

[opaque rose]

fair

[soft osprey]

[tight isle]

dude you're fine stop overreacting

it barely touched u

[long bone]

I forgot the game had released and thought this was mount and blade 2

[onyx moon]

oops

[autumn mauve]

Rip I forgot one of my guys names

This man was insanely op

Chain armour and a spear

I was trying to get him to die cause I needed the chest plate and gear

But nope, slammed everyone

He didn't even die he just left cause I was broke at the time

He was 60 btw

[rotund palm]

which game are u talking abt bro

[autumn mauve]

Half sword

60 dollars

[rotund palm]

ohhhhh

a mercenary

[autumn mauve]

Yeah he's my broseph

But he was only in it for the money

I guess he was never my bro

"You were never my bro, bro" - The Deep

[autumn mauve]

They don't call him the peak for no reason

[graceful rapids]

The fish in the sea have a different opinion about him now

[autumn mauve]

Black noir commited fish genocide

He had it coming

[graceful rapids]

I think the deep has done more harm to Noir

Because he took Edgar from him

[graceful rapids]

And he took away his acting career

Also tried to blackmail him if I remember correctly

[autumn mauve]

But Edgar blackmailed john

KILL THAT BOY KILL THAT BOY 🤬👿

[spark axle]

I agree, this is one of my favourites from this pack. It's not too complex, so it works quite well with the game's artstyle

[restive barn]

i still want it

[spark axle]

soon

I really dont have much more to add at this point, it's just doing a final pass of all of the meshes and balancing everything before I can release it

[rocky zodiac]

ew wtf is with the clip why does it have like new ui

[spark axle]

its the new discord clipping thing

[rocky zodiac]

ew

yucky

yeah it's weird I'm not a fan of it either

[paper hollow]

why does my lightweight short sword do better than my colossal max weight longsword

[lost rover]

A small but nimble boxer vs a big fat meanie

Who would win

[paper hollow]

big fat meanie

my heavy sword hits like a mf

a flatstrike dents a helmet

[spark axle]

custom smallsword

[restive barn]

if u giv i will give u any of my mods

i want cool components

nvm i can do it myself i just realised ;sob:

[shut vortex]

Bro when does the game get hard

[shut vortex]

Bro how are they able to swing fast these enemies are too hard

[restive barn]

the npc is legit dumb af

[shut vortex]

Like he tries to hit me from above and then suddenly now he hits me on side

Yeah bro this game needs to be easier in some ways only

[restive barn]

the ai is dumb. the only real thing hard is the overtuned blunt dmg

WHAT AM I

[surreal helm]

a modder

[shut vortex]

so how do you play well then

[restive barn]

legit just attack effectively

with polearms u want to press x to swap hands and transition between stances

[surreal helm]

practice in free play for a few weeks

[shut vortex]

What is a polearm

[lost rover]

This happens if you try to force replace willie i think

[shut vortex]

Yeah bro I don’t have that

[restive barn]

the thing u wield with hands far apart

[crude temple]

someone DID make a mod to half blunt damage but i personally think stabbing needs to be nerfed

[restive barn]

i didn't im using scripts

[shut vortex]

Bro the range in this game is so weird bro. For some reason you can hit someone’s hands by hitting their handle of the weapon. And they can hit you without touching you sometimes.

[restive barn]

no they can't

[shut vortex]

Bro I’ve seen it bro it happened to me bro

[restive barn]

half sword is a very fast paces game u prolly saw wrong

btw what tier r u in

[shut vortex]

Well another problem is attack not correlating with injury bro it’s very weird bro

[shut vortex]

What is that

[restive barn]

what rank

[shut vortex]

Yeah I don’t have that

[lost rover]

ALMOST lost my 530+ day willie

https://tenor.com/view/omniman-gif-26206182

[restive barn]

make save backups

[lost rover]

He's already saves

saved

Now i know that i have to use the baron's armet WITH the wrapper

To prevent these peasants stabbing me in the juggular

[lost rover]

I'm getting bigger better armour

[errant adder]

where is update

[shut vortex]

Bro who is like “yeah bro I’m gonna hop on halfsword and play some super fun progression mode”

[restive barn]

https://tenor.com/view/golden-freddy-gif-24801752

[shut vortex]

Bro this mode is super unbearable bro

[carmine skiff]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1497935195440025680/1498297774956085380/image0.gif

[rapid pond]

I do, geniually fun if you wanna goof around in the hall map or do some alley shenanigans

[terse spruce]

where is patchiiiiiiiiiiiii

[shut vortex]

Bro if free mode actually had literally anything in it bro people would play that over progression

[rotund palm]

every other message coming out of you has the word bro in it

[rapid pond]

Patience. Annoying but its still in developement

[rotund palm]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[silk spire]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/mFE0zzwysn2yy6eZY?invite=cr-MSxtYmwsNDMzNzQyOTYx

holy shit

[rapid pond]

Free mode is going to be modified to be more like the itch.io one in the long term

[shut vortex]

Yeah bro that’s gameplay

[silk spire]

the other fight

not the first one

[shut vortex]

Yeah nice throw bro

[silk spire]

thank you

🙏

[rotund palm]

whats the itch.io one like

[silk spire]

willie looks good with hair lowk

[rapid pond]

You can choose upper,chest, lower armor tier or randomize it

And choose a weapon and randomize it

Same for enemies

[rotund palm]

ohhhhh

[shut vortex]

Bro are there any good mods for free mode

[rotund palm]

thats peak

[silk spire]

@restive barn howd you get willie in ea

[restive barn]

yes

[rapid pond]

Choosing an armor tier gives you a random armor piece of related tier (gambeson, doublet, sallet, armet)

[restive barn]

mod made by luke

[silk spire]

nexus?

[shut vortex]

Which ones

[restive barn]

btw i should add a head popping mod

[restive barn]

on nexus mods there are many good mods

[restive barn]

unreleased

[rapid pond]

Theres also a map choosing feature and quick gamemode feature like 5v5 1v5 carnage 5 and such

If i'm talented enought i can try to make a mockup of what the ea could look like

With more options such as arm armor tier and weapon types instead of set weapon but randomized

While still keeping the free mode look

[shut vortex]

Yep way too op yep

[restive barn]

how is it too op

[shut vortex]

Because they hit me with their pinkie finger and I get knocked down

[restive barn]

blunt dmg in general is js op. you can do the same to them and they'll fold like paper

[rotund palm]

its tarded almost

it never reacts

[lost rover]

His face

If only he had hair

[shut vortex]

Bro for me it reacts instantly

[rotund palm]

like a mod????

thatd be awesome

[shut vortex]

I just want maps and like more costumes bro

[lost rover]

Brader do you still have that lua code that makes the armor super shiny

[rapid pond]

I have no knowledge in coding, but i'm a graphic designer in training

Ive animated logos for an enterprise but know how to use a bunch of adobe apps

[restive barn]

what's the odds i kill this guy

[rotund palm]

YOU SHOULD COLLAB WITH MODDERS

[rapid pond]

Ence i think i can do a nice looking mockup via photoshop and indesign

[lost rover]

I recognize his lil moustache

@lost rover

[lost rover]

Thanks bradar

[shut vortex]

Bro you’re not playing the game right if you aren’t playing on 1080p and finishing every fight in 2.9s bro

[restive barn]

i have 1600 hours in the demo and 480 in the ea i think im playnig it right

nvm 500 hours in ea

[shut vortex]

essentially what you’re doing is playing and playing in a specific way

[restive barn]

and what is "playing the game right" lol

[lost rover]

Shiny willie

Bradar i'm so tuff right now

[shut vortex]

1080p finishing every fight in 2.9s

[restive barn]

https://giphy.com/gifs/sigma-big-leagues-welcome-to-the-OIKS4GcqcKqNtndh1o

[waxen sonnet]

...me? 🤣

[restive barn]

bradar why r reflections wrong

[rapid pond]

What i'm thinking of basically for the ea free mode redesign is sliders for (in order)

Head armor tier

Chest armor tier

Arm armor tier

Leg armor tier

Feets

Right beside this you have the options to wear chainmail on valid options with tiers (low being a simple hauberk high a max one)

All sliders have the option of "random, low, medium, high, baron [insert all potential new tiers]"

For weapons you get another selector with "random, blunt, sharp, multi-role"

A last slider chooses map, enemy ammount and if you are in carnage or in team fights

Imma throw that in suggestion real quick hold on

[rotund palm]

how did you get baron armet with the plume

[restive barn]

i added the demo baron armet into my save and then wore both the demo baron armet and the baron armet

thats why u see two beaks on the helm

[lost rover]

Anti neck stabbie

[restive barn]

do u like shiny armor mod

[lost rover]

Yes bradar

Check out htis cool shot

[rotund palm]

ohhhhh

[lost rover]

The only weak spot in my armour is behind el neck

[rotund palm]

that actually makes a lot of sense

i would love that

[restive barn]

no reflections

r u on low graphics

[lost rover]

This is high

Idk

[rapid pond]

I have to try to convince myself to make a mockup

[lost rover]

Made this Pirate Sword for Swashbucklers

[rapid pond]

Can you try to add only the feathers on the baron armet ? I wanna see what it would look like

[restive barn]

no too lazy to

[rapid pond]

Aight

[lost rover]

Strongest armour possible (i think)

[rapid pond]

You need ue4ss to change the look of armor right ? Cause this geniually looks Hella good

[spark axle]

there's a set of blue cuisses that have back of leg protection, I think that would be max coverage

[lost rover]

Chrome's pak mod

[rapid pond]

I still think the baron cuirass is the coolest

[lost rover]

Ves

[lost rover]

The baron seems like an enjoyer of italian items

His armet is italian

[rapid pond]

Even though he is french

[lost rover]

His breastplate (corrazina) is italian

[rapid pond]

Ence it should look more like a kettle helmet setup tbh

[rapid pond]

I mean, its got the most protection tbh

Beside the pauldrons

[restive barn]

i'm bored imma add head popping

[rapid pond]

Is there any gibs that can even allow you to do that ?

Or will you like import abyss demo gibs or such

[lost rover]

I also saw willies eyes could pop out

[rapid pond]

Isnt 3.0 gore still classified rn

Even though we saw that think already

[restive barn]

i legit don't know if it's in the game files but i might as well work on smth similar as the devs work on it

i'm obviously not sharing it tho

[rapid pond]

You could try to implement visible bones tbh

Like

Open fractures

[restive barn]

ok ye most of it is not in the game files

[carmine skiff]

wtf is this

[restive barn]

most of the bone gibs reference a material that doesn't exist in the current build

such as

uh

M_Human_Skeleton_classic_ver1_inst_001

[rapid pond]

Skeleton "classic" ? Is that probably the abyss gore skeleton ? Since ours is more modern

[rapid pond]

Head pop asset if i where to guess

[restive barn]

probably, but it'll be good to re implement it

[rapid pond]

It did look real nice yea

I hope head popping is procedural when it comes out rather than a set asset

Or like

5 variants

[carmine skiff]

chrome i have an idea

you should make an car that is drivable with steering wheel

[rapid pond]

Oh hell nah now i wanna see "progression mode beat via steering wheel"

[rapid pond]

Btw did you find the fool's wheel in the files or is it not present rn

[restive barn]

not present\

probably

idk it's like 20000 files i can't go thru every one

i assume it's not cuz niagara 3d liquid doesn't work

[rapid pond]

I'm guessing its probably named "canon_4_something"

[rapid pond]

Probably cause its still indev with how complicated its shooting effect is

Hell theres even dust kicking out of the ground when it fires

[restive barn]

every single pro demo player hates it when i say "ea is not that bad"

[dire zephyr]

If you make your sensitivity max and make your character buff you can kinda do a spin kick in ea

[sleek gull]

Imo, to each their own. What bothers me, might not bother others. For the way that I play, EA is lacking. But it'll get there.

[hot minnow]

have there been any updates on progress since the last announcement?

[buoyant ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-mods-heading-to-announcements-discord-mods-announcements-scam-links-gif-25118530

for beggar class

[sleek gull]

Willie in jean shorts.

Defense stuff

[wanton quiver]

Anyone else's console not summoning anything

[spark axle]

finally balancing my zweihander. I should give this thing to one of the champion NPCs, that would be a fun fight

[lost rover]

Beautie full sword

But your curved swords look cooler

[restive barn]

i was lowk gonna make zweihander components mod but that lowk looks cool

[spark axle]

it is a lovely model, it looks great

big thanks to @sly tapir as always

[restive barn]

what the fuck is this pose

[restive barn]

btw i can do models too since i got bladesong

wait did he fucking resmag the thing

[restive barn]

by any chance how much did u edit this

[spark axle]

almost every model he makes has some insane bladesong magic going on under the hood

[spark axle]

like in blender?

[restive barn]

ye

was there like a fucking line of vertices that u had to remove

that went from the tip to the tips of the parrierhaken

[restive barn]

lmao i made a poleaxe in bladesong

[spark axle]

almost every one of the models has required a ton of blender cleanup work. The bladesong meshes are made for 3D printing, so there's always a ton of weird topology that needs fixing before it'll look good in halfsword

[restive barn]

my poleaxe in bladesong

the last srceenshot is the blade line

[spark axle]

this kinda shows what I mean, the topology on the right was what came out of the bladesong STL. This particular model was so bad that I just completely remade the model using Inventor

[spark axle]

that's cool, I never really considered making a polearm in bladesong

[sharp thunder]

we got martial law in halfsword before gta 6

@restive barn tank mod is 🔥

[slow spruce]

how do we get our images into photography if we can't ss them?

is there like an export button?

[cursive folio]

im actually not sure why half sword runs so poorly for me its like an exception that just doesnt want to go above 50 fps

[ionic marsh]

UE5 thats why

[restive barn]

bad foliage optimisation

[cursive folio]

also I can't even turn on framegen? I know I have a 2060 but framegen works great in literally every other game

including ue5 games

[ionic marsh]

400k in profit by the way

[restive barn]

they're bad at optimisation

[ionic marsh]

and they cant even hire ONE programmer to fix the optimization issues

dont get me wrong i love this game

but oh it could be so much better

[solar nest]

take a shot everytime halfsword has a fatal error

[cursive folio]

i dont really like them being radio silent even though its nothing new i just have faith in them improving the game soon ish

[solar nest]

instant liver failure

[past kestrel]

Yo I’m in Saturday school

How’s it going guys

[waxen sonnet]

there was a recent reddit post from one f the devs or somesuch saying that they are indeed working on it 😛

recent as in within the past 24 hours or so

[past kestrel]

It’s you the guy with videos!!!!!

[cursive folio]

why do they say this stuff on reddit and not in #announcements or the steam blogs :/

do I have to like stalk the devs to have info on what's happening behind the scenes or what is their plan here

[waxen sonnet]

it was likely just one dev without position to do so on an official capacity, you know?

[heavy stump]

they were silent for long before the EA release too?

[keen galleon]

What's up with the hidden hotkey? It doesn't say it in settings but if you press H you take off your armor for whatever reason

[cursive folio]

oh yeah I didn't like it back then either

I know this isn't new but it's even more frustrating now that they are in EA

[heavy stump]

at least they had wip posts as I see

[cursive folio]

the info on the "why early access?" page is kind of, um, not true

[restive barn]

arti when my half tank mod releases will u make video on it]

[waxen sonnet]

i'm willing to bet that the optimisation issues have caused the team to have to radically change their plans & they're still figuring it out 😅

[waxen sonnet]

absolutely! particuarly if I can use it in progression mode!

[cursive folio]

honestly if EA takes twice as long but this game becomes very optimized I will be completely ok with that so I hope that's what they are doing

[heavy stump]

in what tread?

[cursive folio]

I assume it is related to this

I couldn't find an actual post but I found this comment

[waxen sonnet]

that's the one! I meant comment when I said post earlier 😅

[cursive folio]

man I can't wait for narrow passage and the pit

[heavy stump]

I can't wait for any update or radio silence break

[cursive folio]

this is true as well

[ionic marsh]

have axes always been overpowered in early game

[cursive folio]

yeah pretty much

[ionic marsh]

i really like the fact that you can take fallen enemies weapons

thats how i got a warstaff pretty early

[cursive folio]

and armor!

[ionic marsh]

and armor??

[cursive folio]

yes

[ionic marsh]

how

[cursive folio]

if you grab someone's limb with Q/E, you can then hold Q/E (whatever hand is holding the limb with the armor) to yank it off them

[ionic marsh]

OH MY GOD WHAT

[cursive folio]

it is kind of janky so you might have to try multiple times

yep

it also includes um your fallen mercenaries you can rob them of armor..

[ionic marsh]

meh, i dont need mercs

[ionic marsh]

thats so cool

[soft osprey]

I can’t even read this as positive because it just reiterates nobody has any idea who’s actually in charge

Like wdym you want better communication

Youre literally the publishers

Have had devs say they wish there was better communication

So who tf is the problem

[waxen sonnet]

one could argue that they're just talking on a personal level & not in any official capacity 😛

[cursive folio]

I assume by the "hang tight" they want to improve communication when they have more to share like a major update

[ionic marsh]

tip for the hall map, if you set off a trap they just straight up dont see it

no reason to get rude man

[soft osprey]

Right so, do they have nothing to share then? Like not a single thing? They were showing cabinets at one point

[ionic marsh]

okay whatever dude

[waxen sonnet]

was definitely rude 🤣

[soft osprey]

I can’t defend the lack of communication at all anymore, I won’t pretend it’s acceptable. Every person you talk to on the dev team or Gameseer just repeats they have no answer

[cursive folio]

yeah I'm very worried to be honest

[rapid pond]

btw @rotund palm check this out

[soft osprey]

So either nothing is being developed or it’s going so fucking slow it’s gonna be another year

[ionic marsh]

or just, be nice to people you dont know that well?

[rapid pond]

If you wanna share ideas go into #1502692323262206022 :3

[cursive folio]

once again the early access page is just straight up lying. "we will involve the community", "6-12 months of EA" ... nope

[near grotto]

The Mod Rebellion is incoming 😭

[rapid pond]

shameless plugging

[ionic marsh]

wasting your discord time

sorry boss

[soft osprey]

I already told mcwonder to remove me from mod if he feels I shouldn’t be criticizing and he hasn’t so I guess it’s okay

[near grotto]

McWonder is our inside man

[ionic marsh]

man, atleast the game is being worked on and not the developers being sidetracked by some halfassed sequal noone asked for (ahem ahem ksp2)

[soft osprey]

We do, that’s why I’m still here as a mod lol

But it’s not gonna be a good look obviously

[waxen sonnet]

it's important forpeople to critisize! especially people withany kind of authority! 😛

[near grotto]

Devs too busy eating potato chip

[restive barn]

jus some bullshit

[ionic marsh]

400k usd after steam cut by the way

so i do not wanna hear some "lack of motivation"

[near grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/serious-dude-this-is-gif-5651816800674776354

[ionic marsh]

only counting the reviews

you can do the math yourself,
price-steam cut * copies sold

[rapid pond]

I feel like we are starting to get closer to a date considering wonder changed his pfp to a new beggar fella, wich is potentially a new art asset, beside that we are left to our own patience

[cursive folio]

sometimes I have to remind myself there's a community manager or PR person

[soft osprey]

Okay but you also have to realize they haven’t gotten paid before the game was released. So for 5-6 years of work, 12 people counting all artists and what not, $400k is pretty puny

They have to pay themselves with that

[near grotto]

How were they managing for 5-6 years then

[ionic marsh]

33 K each

for those profit margins you could ATLEAST hire one programmer

i thought you blocked me for being sensitive

[near grotto]

If the devs were working based on the promise of getting payed in 5-6 years that would imply they had no other financial assistance during that time

[restive barn]

i genuinely can't defend them anymoe

i am THIS close to leaking everything i know

they said they're working on it

probably

[ionic marsh]

first published game

[rapid pond]

as long as mcwonder is there it is in dev

just know that

[ionic marsh]

i mean, all game devs practice

thats how you learn

[soft osprey]

Im not hung up on the money at all honestly. They didn’t make much money at all, and they had to get paid eventually.

Im just mad about comms

[ionic marsh]

well they did now, and now they couldve improved the game tenfold

[rapid pond]

ig, but hell, game is released, updates are eventually coming, its all the question of patience now again and again and again

[soft osprey]

Even if the game is abandoned now, $20, I got 150 hours out of it

Hard to say it’s not money well spent

[ionic marsh]

i think we should revolt

[soft osprey]

I also say that to everyone else here. If you got at least 40 hours out of the game, I don’t take your complaint seriously

[rapid pond]

no

[rapid pond]

useless

[ionic marsh]

yeah i know... 😔
