[glad cloak]

how long will i be down here

[sacred stirrup]

i just have breast plate, neck armor and a hat

[placid tree]

wait holy shit im level 3 im gonna force you guys to watch my bolt clip

[spare basin]

[weak sundial]

you need an arming doublet to equip poleyn

[sacred stirrup]

arming doublet??

[weak sundial]

yes

[wide lily]

whereupon the illustreeus indivijual known amongst the loakel populis by the nomonclatoor of willie didst commence his ambulerstory perrygrinations down the long and winding boulavard of existenshal angst whilst simultaneusly contimplating the metasphysickal rammifacations of his own subconshus desiers regarding the proklivity of feline compannions to reject culinary offrings of high kwality wet food despite the undeniable fact that said nutrients were purchassed with grate expence and finnancial burden upon his meager walet which he had regrettably misplased inside the labyrinthean dephths of his tattered jacket pocket along with a singulur rusty paperclip and a faded reciet from the year two thousand and seven thusly renduring him in a state of perpetshual and bewildering perplexxity regarding the fundemental nature of time and space and laundry deterjant brand loyalty

[cunning osprey]

how do i get hood and bags

[placid tree]

poleyn is legs tho i thought that wasnt necessary

[sacred stirrup]

fook, i don’t have that yet. why would it let me buy poleyn?

[gentle trout]

Thats a lot of blood

[spare basin]

https://tenor.com/view/rainn-wilson-shh-secret-prank-gif-17131726

[weak sundial]

no clue. just wait around you'll get it eventually

[placid tree]

yeah i was trying to bow people for like an hour

[gloomy crest]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/m1RFcrYKz0kXH1rei?invite=cr-MSxGbWUsNTM1NDI3MDU5 I UNDERSTAND IT NOW @rich lantern

[gentle trout]

I used it once. Might have to play around with it more

[gloomy crest]

took me a second but i got it

[weak sundial]

@sacred stirrup and before you come back and ask how to put on spaulders or vambraces, you go to craft armor, select the arming doublet, and remove the chains from it. those take up arm slots, so they can't be used at the same time as arm armors

[placid tree]

its lowk barely worth it because you only get 1 bolt

[rich lantern]

nice lol

[gentle trout]

What about the quiver? Does it not have arrows

[teal pulsar]

you guys can make extra big weapons if you use the sword method

[rich lantern]

so how do you even get the crossbow on freeplay?

[flat walrus]

I haven't been able to extract with one successfully - day 50 12 hrs

[teal pulsar]

forest map in chest

[placid tree]

in progression it might give you a few more arrows but you lose them permanently if you dont retrieve them

[flat walrus]

It just dissapears

[placid tree]

and in free play you can only get 1 because you cant equip the quiver

[compact obsidian]

quivers give you more bolts

[rich lantern]

in freeplay...

[placid tree]

we are talking about this

free play crossbow suffers

[gentle trout]

Oh you can retrive them? Thats pretty cool

[compact obsidian]

Thats why Crossbow men had pavise and arming sword :)

[placid tree]

good luck finding them they are fuckikn tiny

[gentle trout]

Fair enough

[oak moss]

I dont think crossbows were ever intended to be a primary way to play the game

[teal pulsar]

no not in freeplay

[rich lantern]

kill opponenet. shoot bolt into his dead body. retrieve bolt. stick it back in the inventory. repeat until loaded

[compact obsidian]

Yeah.
It's more like a disposable weapon

[placid tree]

and then you miss and its gone forever

[weak sundial]

i think crossbows are really just an easter egg

[placid vector]

ay da baron polearm hella op

[rich lantern]

how do you miss someone on the ground?

[placid tree]

oh i missed that

[weak sundial]

this game's combat doesn't suit anything other than melee regardless

[oak moss]

if they are gonna have disposable weapons it should be these

[placid vector]

i jst beat da baron ma 2nd time

[placid tree]

have you seen how willies be bouncing the bolts tho

[gloomy crest]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/m1RJyG6pRII20yXj7?invite=cr-MSxDRkcsNTM1NDI3MDU5 landed a good headbutt today

[placid tree]

it will probably happen anyway

[gentle trout]

Just turn your graffics to low and bolts will be one of the only things you can see

[placid tree]

this is smart

[compact obsidian]

early hand cannones were disposable as hell

it could kill its user

[placid tree]

oh wel its not THAT big of a problem its just slightly annoying

[compact obsidian]

EVEN the user was disposable 😭

[gentle trout]

mm soo good for the planet

[compact obsidian]

fire is so dangerous guys

[remote raptor]

I smash my keyboard when i fall down at slums or abyss damn you cant even wake up unlike the demo its thousand times better omg

[gentle trout]

Then refund it or something

[placid tree]

when you lowk tired so you genuinely sleep

[wraith wigeon]

hell yeah

[remote raptor]

Expecting it to better bruh

[tepid crow]

This is probably common knowledge now but
Medium graphics gives better performance than low
Try it

[placid tree]

shakespeare is not dead

[weak sundial]

twin it's early access twin

the access is early asf twin

[gray turtle]

why tf am i always fighting buff ass guys

[gentle trout]

Refund it bruh

[placid tree]

hory shet

[remote raptor]

[oak moss]

i was not capped. The bar at the bottom is not a reflection of the cap

[compact obsidian]

bih parried the projectile

I understand why you forfeit 😭

[gray turtle]

how do i prog in this game

wrong place mb:

[alpine sedge]

It’s the Witcher

[compact obsidian]

Complete Fights Until Rank Progress Bar reaches the very end then wait till tomorrow for the tourney

[woeful bear]

bro lowkey just accept your fate 😭

[wraith wigeon]

i have to have my settings bottomed out lmao

[delicate sundial]

Hi everyone, what key do I press to shoot a crossbow?

[remote raptor]

Mate how tf its 81kg haha

[wraith wigeon]

game feels the same otherwise

[compact obsidian]

ouch

[oak moss]

my guy is min height

[compact obsidian]

RMb to aim

then LMB to fire

recommended to aim at first person

[tepid crow]

Try setting them to medium, I get more FPS on medium than I do on Low

[wraith wigeon]

if anything slightly more polished they just need to optimize the fuck out of it, which i'm sure they already have heard a trillion times by now

[wraith wigeon]

i will try that rq

[delicate sundial]

thank you

[undone pike]

what are the multiple ways to get muscle/strength?

[tepid crow]

I found ultra performance DLSS + Medium settings gives me stable 60+ FPS

Low gives me less

[wraith wigeon]

strange how that works

i'm getting 144 now

[restive trench]

you can fight or run around on armor or do exhausting stuff

[wraith wigeon]

stable

[thick thorn]

TAHTS IT

[gloomy crest]

https://giphy.com/gifs/memes-tai-lung-zesmhmdi-J5zWf25lhLVOblgNjG

[lime oasis]

I really really love the fact you are rewarded for using blunt weapons/being more humane

[tepid crow]

Called it :)

[lime oasis]

best feature tbh

[undone pike]

does slowing time count

[thick thorn]

im creating a half sword slander acc on tiktok

[oak moss]

dont know if anyone actually knows or if its just people guessing

[tepid crow]

They should really put out an announcement about the medium settings being better perf than low

[compact obsidian]

to reload
Press R
Hold, Click, and Drag the string all the way down until it reaches the hook
(if you're having trouble pulling it down just keep swinging it up and down until it does)
If you have a bolt in your quiver, Hold Click and drag towards the crossbow and then its fully loaded

[restive trench]

i have no idea

[undone pike]

me too

i feel like i gain muscle so slowly

[wraith wigeon]

i also turned on full screen now getting 160 stable

[undone pike]

ive been brawling for the past few hours and ive gained next to nothing in terms of muscle mass

[tepid crow]

Medium Settings gives more frames than Low Settings - try it

[undone pike]

idk if im doing something wrong

[wraith wigeon]

there is a big optimization issue between medium and low for some reason

[gentle trout]

idk. My Willie just got strong by himself as I played

[fading belfry]

99% sure its correlated to rank

[rich lantern]

Bruce Lee

[restive trench]

yeah the more you play the more muscles you get but if you wanna get it faster you can just keep running around in armor and do fights

[compact obsidian]

You can find extra bolts on the forest map wagon inside the small box right beside the crossbow
(its a rare drop)

[gloomy urchin]

can i just outrun every soul in abyss

[wraith wigeon]

also run fullscreen i get 20 more fps

[fading belfry]

i think you have to kill them

[lime oasis]

porbably you can but don't you need to kill them to escape?

[gloomy urchin]

93 FUCKING SOULS.

[tepid crow]

I'll try this

[gloomy urchin]

I AM NOT FUCKING KILLING 93 PEOPLE.

[compact obsidian]

You are

[fading belfry]

i had to kill 112 to escape

[gilded schooner]

Quitter

[gloomy urchin]

I WILL NOT SPEND AN HOUR DOING IT.

[fading belfry]

it only took me back once i killed them all

[alpine sedge]

Bros fighting the entirety of hell

[lime oasis]

should've paid them off... or used blunt weapons!

[gloomy urchin]

ALL BECAUSE BARON FOLDED ME WITH SLIGHTEST PUSH.

[wraith wigeon]

i'm going to try frameview in a second

[fading belfry]

i only spent ~40 minutes

[compact obsidian]

you spend like 4 minutes killing 10

[tepid crow]

Don't kill so man people bro 😭
Have mercy

[fading belfry]

lives can be bought

[undone pike]

you start every match/fight with a single crossbow bolt btw, so even if you dont have any more bolts its still worth it to hold onto the weapon because if you choose a gamemode like duels with 6 fights back to back you can one shot every single person with no ammo left

[sage steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/half-sword-gif-164259582336575534

[compact obsidian]

yeah pretty peak

[wide lily]

how did you do that

[compact obsidian]

until you miss

[wide lily]

what the hell

[gilded schooner]

except the hitbox is inconsistent

[undone pike]

and then you pick it back up

[untold echo]

how well do you guys thing EA would run with a UHD 620 and Core 8650?

[undone pike]

aim for torso

[gilded schooner]

ive had more fun stabbing people with the crossbow

[compact obsidian]

For me i cant do it

[gilded schooner]

i have and it bounces off

[rich lantern]

im the god of spinkicks. its what i do

[compact obsidian]

If I press R with a bolt on my hand it crashed my entire game

its very broken for me

[undone pike]

idk what distance you guys are doing it at but it works best at mid-far range

[wide lily]

can you give a tut on how you spinkick like that

[compact obsidian]

ive done long shots before but mid-close range is good

[undone pike]

this has not happened to me yet idk

[undone pike]

close range is risky because bolts can bounce off cloth armor on bosses i find

[oak moss]

just shot a crossbow bolt point blank at a wille and it deflected off his chin. Never shooting this thing again lol

[wraith wigeon]

lmfao

[compact obsidian]

the longer the range the stronger it is?

[tepid crow]

Where are you even getting crossbows

[undone pike]

in my experience

[rich lantern]

its just practice. gotta learn how to do spinkicks then you just develop your own style for it. tutorials to start on youtube

[tepid crow]

Are they in the progression mode?

[undone pike]

the forest wagon

[undone pike]

yes

if you pick one up you can keep it at the end of the fight

[rich lantern]

but spinkicking is extremely difficult now on EA...

[tepid crow]

How are you even getting in the wagon 😭

[undone pike]

just make sure you dont forget to pick it up before moving on

[wide lily]

I know how to spinkick on the demo only

[undone pike]

its not in the wagon its near the wagon

[wide lily]

yk any tips then

[undone pike]

like on the floor in a box

[compact obsidian]

one of my bolts bounced off a foe's breast place but it caused him a lot of pain and he surrendered

[undone pike]

its like 50/50 spawn

[rich lantern]

for what version?

[undone pike]

sometimes it spawn sometimes not

[wide lily]

current one

[undone pike]

yeah it can stab its just risky i find

[compact obsidian]

it think it depends on the angle

[somber valley]

i've become unreasonably good at decapitating zombies

[rich lantern]

nop. still trying to figure it out myself

[compact obsidian]

because some chestplates are anti projecti;es

[undone pike]

oh i havent been aiming at armor

[compact obsidian]

ive been aiming at armour testing if it deflects it or not

[undone pike]

i would think it definitely wouldnt work that well compared to neck shots

[wide lily]

try to figure out how to jump and kick

[tepid crow]

Yoooo I got my first tabard
Looks sick
Will look even better when they fix clipping

[compact obsidian]

ive only gotten 1 instance of it causing the opponent a lot of pain

but the rest it just ricocheted off

[undone pike]

even just the padded cloth shirt can deflect sometimes

[young pulsar]

Question - are the polearms supposed to be that unbalanced? I swear everytime I swing them they overswing like crazy because the head is so heavy, even making a custom one on the forge doesn't work. Is this intentional?

Also, will more weapon types be added to the forge? I seem to remember from one of the trailers that you could go from a dagger to a greatsword just in the forge, will this be possible?

[flat widget]

going for a light jog

[compact obsidian]

thats insane

[undone pike]

headshots are the best but so hard to do properly

[compact obsidian]

yeah

[somber valley]

already is, no? you just have to change the grip length

[compact obsidian]

if find close-mid range perfect for hitting headshots

[real scarab]

is there a way to flip pole weapons?

[flat widget]

being able to die by falling off map is kinda funny

[undone pike]

frfr

[real scarab]

like using the other side

[tepid crow]

Best strategy is to two hand a spiky stick and sprint at thy enemy

[compact obsidian]

If you try to use the crossbow as your primary
Always have sidearms

[wide lily]

or just use a flail until lord rank

[young pulsar]

Not to greatsword sadly

[tepid crow]

Legit what I did

[rich lantern]

new scythe technique just dropped

[compact obsidian]

The Pavise is really great with crossbow if you're reloading

Genoa :D

[hollow crow]

bro free mode aint even free cant get half the weapons

[tepid crow]

Anyone know if you can craft a flail at any point? I want a proper morningstar flail

[real scarab]

does anyone know?

[wide lily]

i used the flail for all ranks

[oak moss]

I think its just a matter of needing to have a fairly strong wille, and being very intentional with your mouse drags

[wide lily]

but it got harder after lord rank

[compact obsidian]

Insure

[gloomy arrow]

Cant even fistplay 😿😿😿

[hollow crow]

and im litteraly getting 50 fps with a 5080

like on rdr2 i get atleast 240 frames with maxed graphics

[oak moss]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG0eBuExvZQ I recorded myself doing a lord's tournament using the baron's beak, which is a fairly heavy weapon

[undone pike]

ofc

[tepid crow]

Change to medium settings - better FPS than low. Switch to fullscreen as well

[undone pike]

longsword works best imo

[wraith wigeon]

lolol i'm getting 155 with a 3070, try these settings #halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[rich lantern]

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[young pulsar]

I see

[gloomy crest]

guys my camera keeps driftin down,how do i make it stay level while fistfighting

[hollow crow]

aight did them moment of truth

[river oriole]

i do hope they add random loadouts modes

[hollow crow]

what about the other settings

[river oriole]

i want to go back and play lower levels but its kind of annoying to unequip everything

[lean frigate]

did you ever update your bios?

[flint mountain]

how do i start as a beggar again? i've beat the lord tourney and when i retire it just strips me of all my items but i still have my rank and money

[lean frigate]

mine was 3 years old and half sword was barely working with 4070 ti

[cold mango]

I BEAT HALFSWORD!!!... well mnore like I beat my GPU. but it was fun until I got to the Man at Arms rank

[hollow crow]

naah

[lean frigate]

now the crashes are gone and it runs at ~90 fps

[wraith wigeon]

i updated to include the full list of settings

[dusk tendon]

I thought they fixed it

[lean frigate]

well you probably should

[hallow dust]

español?

[hollow crow]

whats that tho

[hallow dust]

me va a 20 fps

[hollow crow]

can u tell me

[hallow dust]

y trngo una buena pc

[lean frigate]

unreal engine 5 really hates old bios for some reason

[lean frigate]

search up a youtube video

be really careful

if you do something wrong, it might brick your pc

[hollow crow]

ohhh

then i cant risk it

[lean frigate]

seems understandable

[hollow crow]

what do u even get if u update it

like 1 million fps

[oak moss]

yo this guy still wants smoke after I already won

[lean frigate]

for most of the games you don't get anything

but for god forsaken reason

[gloomy crest]

hardest punch without damage amps in halfsword history

[lean frigate]

UE5 is different

[prime nymph]

are they gonna add hand cannons to the game

[lean frigate]

and sucks on outdated bios

[hollow crow]

broo i just lag in the slums map

[gilded niche]

yo ik the devs worked really hard on this game but like

it 100% runs 10x worse

[oak moss]

did not end well for him

[gilded niche]

like holy moly

[gritty palm]

bro its so fun to just to break the beehive in the forest map and watch them just give up easiest way to win

[grand basin]

will the reaper

[gloomy crest]

what a good haymaker looks like in first person

[wide linden]

Guys, the barrel won :(

[gloomy crest]

😢

[rich lantern]

i miss spoilance 🙁

[gritty palm]

yes

[hollow crow]

bruh merchant wont sell anything good

[compact obsidian]

I wish it showed multiple bolts instead of only 1

[gilded niche]

I do love how they made vertically (like your gonna chop a mf in half) allot easier

[errant remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/reiner-punch-erenvsreiner-falcon-snk-gif-8914823

[covert salmon]

punch of doom and despair

[lime fiber]

Yeah

[gilded niche]

can we get lightsaber mod now

[ornate lichen]

lowkey this game got a ton lot fun ever since yesterday

[gilded niche]

its almost like they had a big update

[restive oxide]

is it js me

[lunar flax]

is this the demo

[restive oxide]

or did demo feel smoootheer

[gloomy crest]

https://giphy.com/gifs/fear-dread-dreadhead-sZrIqPw81LHEyCyn2q

[covert salmon]

yeah its a clip i got a couple weeks ago

[gilded niche]

bro legit everyone saying its runs poopier

[restive oxide]

smoother as in everything felt more reasonable

like hits n all

[lunar flax]

how did u survive so long

[restive oxide]

i feel like its more crappy

[lunar flax]

i agree

[vestal current]

So, I just discovered a fun little oversight. I was playing a Knock Down match against three enemies, I knocked down one, and then tripped over his body, being eliminated. Anyway, a Retribution match showed up, and I guess because I didn't really get eliminated by an enemy, it just placed a completely unarmed unarmoured Willy against me.

[gilded niche]

nobody else feels this way youre the only person EVER who thought about this

[lofty vector]

if you type your name long enough your guy goes backword or forwards, mine went forwards and fell out of the room thing

[cunning finch]

how could he 😞 (loud) (dw hes not actually)

[restive oxide]

look the other guy agrees

[gilded niche]

mods ban em

Yo the game actually works work hella good on my gaming laptop

[vestal current]

Was fun. Easy money.

[lunar flax]

new patches

[full leaf]

medium graphics atleast

[lunar flax]

yeah

[gilded niche]

bro the game runs so much worse like its bad

[mystic chasm]

IM less worried by the performance bc I know that will improve eventually. I'm more worried about how much worse the physics feel. Weapons behave so much worse, everything is floppy, and swinging pretty much anything causes the weapon to spin around in your hand or limply half swing. The precision is gone so defense hardly seems viable. On top of that it takes nothing to knock you over.

[idle loom]

Im gonna upgrade to a 5060 just to play this

[ornate lichen]

guys what pole weaponry is best in what setup?

[gilded niche]

does this game even work for amd gpus?

[crisp marlin]

[mystic chasm]

yea I fkn copy pasted it by accident

[cunning finch]

thats exactly why i reacted the way i did

[bleak nymph]

[gilded niche]

is this game optimized for amd gpu or nah

https://tenor.com/view/nothing-ever-happens-nothing-look-at-the-time-nothing-clock-nothing-ever-happens-clock-gif-4518983960573307132

i don't want pieces of my friend's head on spikes in front of the devs' houses

[lunar flax]

they fixed some amd bugs

[bleak nymph]

too bad

[cunning finch]

😢

rip

gone and will be forgotten in two hours

[lunar flax]

why is the chat empty today

[gilded niche]

Im a little worried abt it because when i open the game it says NVidia in the loading but im on a amd gpu...

[lunar flax]

its bc they added frame gen and dlss

[tender sleet]

dlss doesnt do shit for me

[lunar flax]

do u know how to use it?

[tender sleet]

wdym

is there a special way 😭

[lunar flax]

go watch a tut on yt

[tender sleet]

tysm man

i have been trying to figure it out

[gloomy crest]

no diffed

[elder crest]

can i activate framegen if im on rtx3060?

[mystic chasm]

I don't mean to dogpile when I say this, but what do you guys think the chances are that they get the physics more in line with how it was in the demo?

[ebon anvil]

Is the game still horrendously optimised or has the last update kinda fixed it?

[lunar flax]

i dont think so

[formal finch]

wrong chat

[lunar flax]

it was pretty optimized, especially if u use the right settings and the unofficial patch

[rotund spire]

It feels a little excessive how weak your characters arms are when polearms or large weapons are used

[lunar flax]

u need to upgrade ur strenght

[rotund spire]

pray tell how

[rich lantern]

Surprise nut kick!

[lunar flax]

just fight alot

[rotund spire]

im at man at arms lol

[ebon anvil]

Frames were just stupidly inconsistent during combat for me, plus slums felt stupidly buggy with regards to falling over parts of the map that flat out weren’t finished cuz there were holes in the map

[lunar flax]

u will see urself becoming ore buff

[lunar flax]

the new updates fixes

also the unofficial patch

[gritty palm]

how do i use the crossbow

[oak moss]

feelin like some big bad in a ttrpg about to TPK a party

[sinful loom]

so epic

[sinful loom]

press r

[ebon anvil]

Eh fair ill prolly still hold off for a bit, mainly cuz ive refunded the game and kinda used that money for a art commission for my OC lol

[grizzled girder]

Unofficial patch?

[oak moss]

I'm glad they dropped it now because I'm enjoying it

[lunar flax]

pinned message in this chat

[rotund spire]

oh my god i forgot how annoying it is to make your character just get the fuck up

[grizzled girder]

alr thanks

[lunar flax]

use the patch bro

[fiery dawn]

Bro why does the new ea run like crap ive got a 4070 super and 9900x and its still choppy on low settings, and on top of that why does it feel like my willy had cerebral palsy and cant fucking stand up on his own two feet without a walker. This did not feel like this in my 500 hours on the beta

[oak moss]

I thought you meant the game, I dont know what you're talking about

[lunar flax]

pinned message

[ebon anvil]

Glad it’s not only me suffering on a 4070 Super

[lunar flax]

u need to use dx12, lower foliage, and use the unofficial patch

[oak moss]

game runs fine for me on low settings, its optimized terribly, but I dont really give a fuck about how a game looks

[grizzled girder]

Its an early access but i think its fair for people to be skeptical still such as if the game is going to offer much beyond its current gameplay loop in the future

[fiery dawn]

Does yalls characters in the ea also feel like they have cerebral palsy

[grizzled girder]

Mb u tripping on the slip and slide in slums

[rich lantern]

first ricochet attempt. it didnt stick 🙁

[fiery dawn]

Like i kick ass in the beta gauntlet

[trim crystal]

give me frame generation on a 1630 😭 🙏

[fiery dawn]

Maybe

[lunar flax]

the slipping is on purpose, its mud

[gloomy urchin]

i will beat baron and never play progression mode ever again

[terse nest]

does the resolution option work?

[lunar flax]

yeah

[gloomy urchin]

90 kills in abyss without even knowing how many is left will make me lose my mind

[fiery dawn]

Goes forever i think

[grizzled girder]

Make sure u keep on the outer circle of the slums or on the bridge

[lunar flax]

ur not surviving

[oak moss]

i mean you could just make a new character, he will start at lord rank

[gloomy urchin]

oh

[terse nest]

it doesnt seem to do anything for me, though im on amd and i think the game doesnt like red

[gloomy urchin]

really?

[oak moss]

change background

yes

[trim crystal]

straight cooked

[oak moss]

you unlocked the rank so you can make a cahracter at that rank

[spiral gulch]

for me if i hit save it turns off upscaling. so i just select it and hit exit also changing settings resets it too i think

[oak moss]

he will just not have the muscles you built up probably

[lunar flax]

do yall use insurance?

[gloomy urchin]

yeah fuck this shit then

[oak moss]

always buy insurance

[fiery dawn]

Why do the characters in this game look so freaky

[oak moss]

you are saving the item permanently

[fiery dawn]

The shop guys

[lunar flax]

do u press save?

[grizzled girder]

They do not have the clesnest mug

[fiery dawn]

They look like theyre evil

[rotund spire]

how do you get your characters to just get up? its insanely frustrating for them to just have zero sense of urgency

[terse nest]

yea

[fiery dawn]

Where do i find unofficial patch

[terse nest]

so you gotta do some messing

[lunar flax]

pinned message, then press w+r and continue the instructions of the message

[spiral gulch]

yeah idk its hit or miss sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt

[sinful loom]

do i just add it to the thing like this

to the gameusersettings.ini

[compact obsidian]

if your willie is kissing the floor
hold S
if your willie is star gazing
hold W

[lunar flax]

u need to download the file then add it to the right folder

[terse nest]

i closed and reopened the game and the fps like doubled even though it looks the same

[sinful loom]

okay

[lunar flax]

yeah, pretty simple tbh

[oak moss]

why is there a fucking baron standart lmao

[tardy aurora]

wha t

[lunar flax]

what's after the baron?

[sinful loom]

so it should just automatically fix it now?

[lunar flax]

if u relaunch the game (also make sure ur using dx12)

u should also tweak the settings like putting foliage all the way down

[sinful loom]

its for some reason performing worse..

[lunar flax]

thats weird asf< u using dx12?

[sinful loom]

yup

[stark token]

What does this exactly do

[lunar flax]

is foliage down?

[sinful loom]

dude 18 fps in the menu

yeah

[stark token]

get in game buddy and test kt

[lunar flax]

thats so weird, it worked for me and other ppl

what graphics card?

[sinful loom]

i just was and it was like 20 fps

5060 ti

i was getting 50 fps but now im getting like 20

[gloomy crest]

proof i throw the strongest haymaker in halfsword

[lunar flax]

u using frame gen?

[sinful loom]

dlss?

[lunar flax]

no, frame gen

dlss can also help

[sinful loom]

oh no i wasnt

wait what why was dlss and frame gen turned off

i had it on before

[stark token]

Demo>>

[fiery dawn]

Could be way harder

[lunar flax]

thats probably why

[stark token]

Gng 50 fps is good

[fiery dawn]

You need to dash punch them

[gloomy crest]

strongest punch ive ever thrown no damage amp or nothing

[sinful loom]

yeah but in the slums like 12 fps

[stark token]

try now

[lunar flax]

the patch fixes the slums

normally

[fiery dawn]

If you get a good dash punch in their blood will look like you popped a water balloon

[gloomy crest]

how do i dash

[fiery dawn]

Hold shift

[gloomy crest]

do i just run at them and punch

[fiery dawn]

And strafe as you punch

[gritty palm]

what to i do when the crossbw runs out of arrows

[fiery dawn]

No use a and d

[gloomy crest]

thats just my basic fighting tech

[lunar flax]

fists

[gritty palm]

i mean yeha but how do i get more

[sinful loom]

fps 7, fg 8 what

i was getting 12 fps before in slums now worse with that thing

[fiery dawn]

If you can dash left at the same time as you right hand punch them they just explode

[lunar flax]

thats so weird, the slums were running pretty well with the patch, put foliage down

[obsidian wasp]

glorius ue5!

[lunar flax]

cya

[sinful loom]

why am i getting 7 fps on low everything, i was running fine before with high settings on everything

😭

[gloomy crest]

he had the height advantage but if we were the same height i couldve killed him with a good dash punch

[sinful loom]

fine being 12 fps in the slums but still now its worse

what the fuck

[compact obsidian]

ricochet

[fiery dawn]

Yeah holding guard makes you crouch a bit and aim down so i only hold guard when i am trying to get them off me

[slender comet]

did someone make a guide to making weapons and customizing armour for dumb people like me

[pearl coral]

this is genuinely breathtaking

[sinful loom]

lemme restart my game because theres no way the game somehow got more unoptimized for me

how do you go from 40-50 fps to 13

[oak moss]

my favorite way to kill

[gloomy crest]

quantity over quality

[sinful loom]

okay NOW its running better

[dusk surge]

Have the devs even bothered to optimise the game

[crystal venture]

i cant tell if i found a duplication glitch, i tried to equip a knife but i put in my inventory twice somehow

maybe i got 2?????

[lapis hill]

what happened why does half sword have such bad reviews

[true grove]

willie has more detail, there is hair now, probably more complicated because the terrain is varied, and foliage and more complex lighting

[crystal venture]

not really optimised as before

[true grove]

its because the game runs REALLY poorly compared to the demo

[compact obsidian]

another ricochet but he survived

[pearl coral]

also has much higher requirements than the demo did

[sinful loom]

people hate the sliding mud effect but i love it

[lapis hill]

only that?

[true grove]

as far as i know

[dusk surge]

Because the devs are lazy and didn’t bother to optimise it

[gritty palm]

can you buy arrows from the trader

[pearl coral]

im guessing a lot of the review bombing was from people who didnt bother to read the requirements and thought that since they could play the demo they could play EA

[true grove]

the devs have different priorities than you

[pearl coral]

they work on patches as we speak

it's 10 people with limited hardware testing

[compact obsidian]

They;re literally working on it right now

It's day 2 dawg

calm down

[dusk surge]

Most people think that unreal engine 5 is actually good (it’s not)

[gloomy crest]

2 punches in like 0.4 seconds

[fading belfry]

i love my unreal engine slop

[oak moss]

wonder what people who got in that week of closed testing told them

[fading belfry]

i will reach 500 hours on half sword early access

[pearl coral]

my shitty 7 year old ryzen 580 runs this game just fine somehow

[gritty palm]

can you buy arrows from the merchant

[fading belfry]

no but i wish

[gritty palm]

my shitty gtx 1070 runs it

[runic charm]

They should add that

[dusk surge]

Squad devs “upgraded” their game to unreal 5 and now half the player base can’t play the game they paid for lol

[pearl coral]

me bestbuy prebuilt has the game looking like this

[gloomy crest]

had to fondle his big bald head fore i put him down

[runic charm]

Looks very good

[oak moss]

best buy prebuilt doesnt mean anything because best buy prebuilds top of the line systems too lol

[pearl coral]

as i said before my graphics card is still in the triple digits

[fading belfry]

should i just go ahead and order a used 1080ti

[rotund spire]

is the Armet unlocked at Knight or Lord?

[oak moss]

1080ti is ancient, no way

[sinful loom]

its just a flesh wound

[gritty palm]

noo order a gtx 1070 it runs it well it runs it

[oak moss]

what price are you getting for the 1080

[dusk surge]

Most people shit on my Alienware it’s a jet engine sure but it’s unironically better than theirs

[pearl coral]

knight

[oak moss]

they shit on you not because of its performance, but because you wasted money

[fading belfry]

i see they go upwards of 130-~180

[grand basin]

lets go i beat the baron like 10 times now and got the full set

[true grove]

they are crying because you didnt research at all

[dusk surge]

Ok how much did I waste then lol

[true grove]

a lot

how much was your laptop

[gritty palm]

about to fight in the peasant tourney wish me luck

[fading belfry]

alienware gotta be an industry plant

[lime oasis]

is there any reason not to insure things?

[dusk surge]

I got it off eBay so it’s a discount lol

[oak moss]

depends on the year, but buying a prebuilt is always more expensive than assembling it yourself, and with alienware you are paying a higher premium than even other prebuild companies

as for laptops i dont know shit about that, so if its a laptop I dont know

I havent bought a gaming laptop in my life

[pearl coral]

cost

[true grove]

how much was your laptop

[gloomy crest]

the hardest part about fistfighting is getting the distance right

[pearl coral]

to insure my longsword it was 202 gold and i kept getting shit on because i couldnt pay for my medical bills after my wanton weapon spending

[gloomy crest]

if your to far you miss if your to close they hit your forearm

[pearl coral]

i dropped my pollax next to the drunk and when he almost picked it up my life flashed before me because of my weakened state

genuine terror

[fading belfry]

lord tourney > insure > save at least 100 > repeat

[pearl coral]

i love the sword customization its nice to be able to fiddle with the balance

[true grove]

wait yall, is being a manlet op? ive only been playing gigachads so far

[sinful loom]

i have 2 more rounds, am i cooked?

[gentle trout]

And give everything a gold trim

[grand basin]

nah

[pearl coral]

lmao

[sinful loom]

i am i died

[pearl coral]

im a fan of blue and bronze myself

[grand basin]

weak

[sinful loom]

512 souls seek revenge wtf

IM STILL BEGGAR

[true grove]

dude PLEASE stop just posting the same screen shots over and over again

[sinful loom]

HELP

[grand basin]

i can flex my skill now

[gloomy crest]

no it looks cool and makes me feel like maki

[pearl coral]

[fading belfry]

objectively the best polearm

[pearl coral]

cooked

[grand basin]

i spent like 13 hours beating the baron

[true grove]

every time you post it its signifigantly less cool and more dorky

[oak moss]

if you dont adorn your weapons with solid gold you just look poor and weak. Whats wrong, cant handle the weapon being heavier for no good reason?

[fading belfry]

what the hell?

do settings carry over between demo and ea?

[grand basin]

yes

[fading belfry]

really weird

[grand basin]

*really cool

[oak moss]

okay, thanks for your opinion.

[true grove]

if (when) the game ran well itd be fine at this price

[compact obsidian]

bros job is to flame

[pearl coral]

i've heard that doing a clean install foregoes your saved settings and in some peoples' cases helps their performance

[true grove]

yall aint ready for me being a highguard apologist too (its 6/10)

[gentle trout]

There's a blue one? Whats the material called

[fading belfry]

i aint talking about performance i was just confused because i play the demo on epic but low on ea and it some reason put ea on epic

[true grove]

you are choosing to be mad

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pearl coral]

i meant for the grip

[gentle trout]

Ahh I see

[oak moss]

if 20 dollars is expensive for you, consider getting a job

[zinc oriole]

if i put this into my files can i also be able to take it out or reset it?

if i verify files maybe

[trim crystal]

is there a way to get out of the abyss without losing your character? i have to go through 17 ppl 😭

[true grove]

it quite literally does?

[compact obsidian]

anything above 20 pesos is expensive as hell
this game was like 600 pesos :praise:

[pearl coral]

what a shock it was playing the game for the first time and it running fine and then checking the reviews and seeing like 17% lol

[oak moss]

if you're a broke boy just say so

[zinc oriole]

went through 41 once

[sinful loom]

the early access is going to become the full game and will coss less now than it will once the full thing releases, you save money

[pearl coral]

be niiice

[compact obsidian]

(still bought it)

[true grove]

ik. my game is defo running worse but its still playable and fun. and they are aware and i have a developed brain so ik theyll get to it

[pearl coral]

nope you in purgatory son get your game face on

[fading belfry]

i went through 112

[flat widget]

Sam is broke confirmed

[rich lantern]

kill em all

[trim crystal]

damn.

[true grove]

dogwhistle lmfao

[oak moss]

i spent over 100 hours between the demo and the playtest. I was simply paying back what was owed to begin with.

[high briar]

Naoya zenin MUST be gay he wears eyeliner wears a skirt and has earrings

[compact obsidian]

its around 12 usd

[rich lantern]

LOLLLL

bahahahaha

[terse nest]

i think the blood is a little broken on amd

[flat widget]

crazy comeback ngl

[sinful loom]

lmao someone got banned

[pearl coral]

all i had to do was experiment a little with resolution and effects and now my game is a crisp 60 fps while still looking like a movie

[sinful loom]

how do you know that

[pearl coral]

yeah, it looks like AMDeep Dish Pizza for now

[compact obsidian]

He got banned lmao

[rich lantern]

shoutout to our mod team that has to deal with everyones shit all day after every big update

[gentle trout]

Maybe a tiny bit

[true grove]

iykyk

[terse nest]

yea you spew out enough blood to cover the whole arena very quickly

[trim crystal]

i actively try to avoid one of the maps due to the lag when looking at the view of the trees

[pearl coral]

https://tenor.com/view/dad-coraline-work-gif-18503813

[pearl coral]

slums ? they workin on it

[trim crystal]

yeah

[sinful loom]

i live in the slums ❤️

[true grove]

im not crazy slums specifically runs worse?

[pearl coral]

anyone else use the visorless armet ?

[rich lantern]

bro is chopped and still bagged a baddie. whats yalls excuse?

[trim crystal]

im 90% sure its the trees on slum

[fading belfry]

willy son or willy daughter

[flat widget]

They weren't online at all for over half the day I was awake while ppl were taking advantage of it and posting borderline porn and sexism 😭

[bronze panther]

is there a way to turn on blood, i cant find the setting

[pearl coral]

yes that's the main thing they're working on optimizing now, for me it's the only map i dont run smoothly on and its the same for most

[flat widget]

but that's just today

[true grove]

i care more about the fissure in the earth

[oak moss]

there being baron versions of foulds and standart is actually so stupid

[vestal current]

So, I'm confused, does your character get more buff the more you play or something?

[terse nest]

are the shadows meant to be fully disabled on low like the demo?

[pearl coral]

yes

[pearl coral]

yes

[sinful loom]

They absolutely cooked with the music you haters cant lie

[pearl coral]

dude the abyss intro gets me fucking pumped despite hardly being music

NYEHEHEHE!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAOOOOOOO

[rich lantern]

real

[sinful loom]

Same

[pearl coral]

[trim crystal]

i love abyss

[gentle trout]

The music is absolute art

[fading belfry]

why is he a fucking tomato 😭

[sinful loom]

Iove that they added zombies to abyss

[grand basin]

i just kill 16 zombies as baron

[sinful loom]

Why is my bus driver playing mitski

[vestal current]

I'm not too mad about the bugs so far, EXCEPT for the weapon physics. Everything feels sloppier, so I'm hoping they'll tweak it in the coming days.

[pearl coral]

i love that they're unique little critters

[flat widget]

Sam I gots a question for ya

[pearl coral]

i havent noticed anything up with the weapon physics, what are yer qualms ?

yes

[terse nest]

maybe this why the performance doesnt change much with each preset
60 on low to 24 on epic
i can wait for fix ✌️

[oak moss]

wish i had things to spend money on

[pearl coral]

what

[rotund pike]

you can steal the big candlestick from abyss

[fading belfry]

just go and insure all weapons you find or make wacky weapons and insure them

[flat widget]

Is Ascii art of a dick not allowed here or is it I need a definitive yes or no

[sinful loom]

Hes red for an amazing reason!

[oak moss]

ive insured everything, including several solid gold weapons

[pearl coral]

i would say no

[fading belfry]

the inclusion of this dead horse implies the existence of a live horse

i want horseback riding

[hard swallow]

To al the fuckin hater

[gloomy crest]

at the beach,where the matoes at? mater want boing boing!

[trim crystal]

i thought i was being smart alt f4ing. no ive got 45 to fight now

[torn spindle]

Is the full release good?

[true grove]

btw yall i wasnt joking being a manlet is op

[flat widget]

Then why has it not been deleted all day in https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1315732845666238484

[terse nest]

ima reinstall the game just to double triple check its not cause i messed with something

[vestal current]

Mostly the crafted weapons, I'm not sure if I'm just not understanding the mechanics of crafting, but every weapon I seem to craft just does not swing properly. Or begins to swing properly and then clips into my body.

[pearl coral]

time to add purchasing properties and settlement managment

[torn spindle]

I dont have the money for the Full release but it looks so fun

[flat widget]

just scroll up in it

[oak moss]

i want to run a stable of dudes and bet on npc battles

[gentle trout]

Who's Al

[fading belfry]

please just start putting invisible walls

[pearl coral]

what are you triple checking dawg you told me that your frames are worse when you go up in graphics thats just how games work

[torn spindle]

Whats the general opinion of full release

[sinful loom]

Im so glad i didnt refund the game this has amazing potential

[pearl coral]

because none of us check that channel

[pearl coral]

it is likely that you do not understand the mechanics of crafting

[terse nest]

no like the graphics look almost the exact same, only difference i notice being the AA (maybe TSR idk) looks like native

[hard swallow]

typo

[trim crystal]

good they just need to optimise it

[trim crystal]

though others would say the game is shit

[sinful loom]

I dont either ❤️

[pearl coral]

unless you're keeping the size and balance on the default you have to properly adjust things for what type of responsiveness you want

[fading belfry]

my willy is a FATASS!!! he cant even walk up a little hill!!!!!

[torn spindle]

Is it "take money out of my savings" good or "Im okay to wait" good

[trim crystal]

whats ur gpu?

[true grove]

fatass? more like weird pudgy baby guy

[pearl coral]

if everything is on the top slider, or the bottom, it will be bad, usually it's good to have one at the top, one at the bottom, and two erring slightly

[flat widget]

At least y'all got the sexist weirdo harassing Moist decently quick, W moai saved the day popped in smited him and dipped lol

[fading belfry]

the gauntlet system is objectively better but freeplay is shit

[torn spindle]

3070

[sinful loom]

I put literally everything at max because funny big weapon go boom boom

[true grove]

the sale right now is 5 dollars, so its just a bonus if you are already going to get it

[trim crystal]

im on a 1630, its hella laggy for me on only slum, in my opinion only id say take money out of my savings good

[pearl coral]

i have a perfectly balanced sword tweaked to perfection.. heh

[flat widget]

Show the masses

[torn spindle]

got it

[terse nest]

can the GTX series use dlss?

[fading belfry]

i dont care about perfect swords... if its big and can hit people its perfect

[vestal current]

I try to go for max length and then adjust mass where it swings properly, but after the first few attempts I just stopped messing with it because you can FIND perfectly usable weapons just laying around.

[pearl coral]

pommel very heavy, grip medium light, guard medium heavy, blade 3/4 heavy

[oak moss]

baron's beak is a perfect balance of what I need in a weapon

[sinful loom]

https://tenor.com/view/sea-lion-sped-up-silly-goober-sea-gif-1807503861489774979

[fading belfry]

current weapon

[trim crystal]

nah

[pearl coral]

wish you could get that covered cuirass in non-gilded

[flat widget]

ENLARGE

[rotund pike]

big candlestick continues to be a very good weapon

[sinful loom]

So they did add houndskull bascinets?

[true grove]

i wish by default the thrust was set to be all the way forward

[trim crystal]

nice, avoid looking at the view on slum i always turn towards the wall of the building

[pearl coral]

those are too early for the game

[sinful loom]

Awe

[pearl coral]

they will almost certainly not be added in any serviceable capacity

[vestal current]

Flails are the one true choice.

[sinful loom]

Roman legion armor? /j

[pearl coral]

you can get a lot of utility out of the non-extended thrust

[chrome wasp]

Is remote play avaible for now?

[flat widget]

Walked way out into the slums map to the tents and shit and it's all fully modeled with collision and so are the far out buildings lol

[pearl coral]

like im not even joking it's the secret sauce to realistic swordplay

[crude cove]

I love the rondel dagger, just tried it for the first time

[flat widget]

crazy how everything is rendered and fully done for no reason really

[pearl coral]

there's toooons of shit to do with it

[fading belfry]

its way better when one handing

[true grove]

like what, i can imagine some deflecting, maybe you can do some sorta feign?

[vestal current]

That dagger is SOOOOO nice for quickly finishing downed opponents.

[trim crystal]

🥹

[crude cove]

ik, but i wanted the cinematic two hand shot

[crude cove]

fr

[true grove]

where is a tome of knowledge

[fading belfry]

yeah its better for two handing in that position but generally better for everything else

[sinful loom]

Dagger is actually useful for once???

[vestal current]

The reverse grip one, yeah. I only need it to be good at stabbing downed opponents, which it does perfectly.

[sinful loom]

I wish there was a keybind to turn anything into reverse grip

Like a sword even if its impractical

[fading belfry]

i feel like a shield and rondel dagger combo would be lethal

[oak moss]

stabbing downed opponents is too much work, besides for the fun of it, I just poke my weapon at their neck and they give up

[crude cove]

it doesnt seem too complicated either, kinda annoing its not a feature, like flipping the head on a pole arm etc

[fading belfry]

yeah i genuinely dont know why it wasnt a keybind

[vestal current]

Same, but future problems for future updates. Right now, optimization.

[pearl coral]

-basically toggle between point offline and online without moving the mouse
-reliable vertical strikes
-reliable horizontal strikes and redoublements as well as draw cuts
-parrying (in multiple different ways)
-grappling leverage
-using in tandem with left handed grip to disarm enemies

[pearl coral]

i wrote a steam guide stylized like a 15th century fencing manual if you'd want to check it out

i need to reupload it to the EA community section and add some pollax stuff i discovered

[trim crystal]

ive fought about 32 people in abyss when it was meant to be 18 and im still going

[sinful loom]

Im going eepy

Nini

[primal thorn]

i've been playing half sword ea on 4:3 since it came out

i havnt seen this map yet

[fading belfry]

i feel like im bashing with the reverse grip dagger more than i am stabbing

[spiral marlin]

guys when will slums be playable

[fading belfry]

now

[spiral marlin]

they released a new fix?

[fading belfry]

no

[spiral marlin]

then its still unplayable

[oak moss]

you mean from what it was in the demo? Yeah its a much better weapon than that

[pearl coral]

i hope they fix clipping aswel, cause i wanna be dripped out you heared

[pearl coral]

i want to mod my breastplate into the game

would be neat

[ornate lichen]

could i theoretically

take one tabard, and give it my own set of textures, and then replace said textures with the ones currently on that tabard?

Whats the purpose of this cloth in battles if its just gonna get ripped by the blades anyways?

[compact obsidian]

crest

less confusion
less friendly fire

[ornate lichen]

look, idk if youre so into fashion, but if you have badass design, you get badass fear

[sinful loom]

Oh

[pearl coral]

hold G to give up

[oak moss]

Nobles specifically did all sorts of dumb shit that served only to make them look rich

[sinful loom]

Is that you?

[ornate lichen]

"i pray, let me go hands unharmed, i best believe" (or however it goes)

[pearl coral]

so ransoming culture was a huge part of noble warfare at the time and any way of identifying yourself and your standing among your peers was important to keep you alive

[pearl coral]

on the right yes

[little acorn]

how do i equip armour in the new abysss

[sinful loom]

Oh thats awesome

[torn spindle]

Bought it

[sinful loom]

Interesting okay

[ornate lichen]

you take it with your hand, and then you hold the button from said hand

[native igloo]

[ornate lichen]

say if you hold it on the left hand, you hold q

[oak moss]

[little acorn]

ight thanks

[sinful loom]

Err.... no dony

[pearl coral]

there's an account of a noble wearing borrowed armor and getting executed as any poor prisoner would since he couldnt prove his status

[native igloo]

bruhhhh

[torn spindle]

Mainly because I play the demo All the time so Im bound to get alot of playtime out of full release

[sinful loom]

Maybe save money for a 5060 ti

[ornate lichen]

now i am a true Mecenary Deluxe

[oak moss]

just buy it, try the game, and if its too shit just refund on steam

🤷🏻‍♂️

[trim crystal]

well ive got a 1630 and it runs well at 60fps, so idk at a 1070

[native igloo]

what cpu?

[trim crystal]

il check gimme a sec

[sinful loom]

Jesus

[pearl coral]

yerp

[true grove]

nothing changes

[torn spindle]

Does the Current game heve pvp yet

[fading belfry]

splitscreen

[ornate lichen]

kinda, but its still buggy, its mostly just pve

[pearl coral]

even in the 15th century when wearing coats of arms went out of fashion, just general cleanliness and contemporary armor was enough to keep you alive in capture

[torn spindle]

I dont have a controller :(

[fading belfry]

damn you can hipfire crossbows???

[torn spindle]

Theres Crossbows?

[fading belfry]

yeah

[pearl coral]

they're rad

[primal thorn]

its the new generation

[trim crystal]

Intel Core i7-4790 @ 3.60 GHz.

[primal thorn]

how did you not know already

[cinder steppe]

Died against the final boss, now I have to kill 120 souls

[sinful loom]

Living in the 15th century sounded fun

[fading belfry]

this will take 40-50 minutes btw

[cinder steppe]

Oh my

[torn spindle]

Dude I never expected them to add ranged weapons Ive been playing since the early half sword that was just the void

[pearl coral]

i love using the visorless armet

might genuinely be one of the best

[golden geyser]

whats the latest version of the game called? Like v.06 or something?

[pearl coral]

0.6

[sinful loom]

Houndskull bascinet with feathers>>>>>>

They look coollll

[cinder steppe]

I agree

[pearl coral]

thoughts ?

[cinder steppe]

Feather helmet ftw

[raw flare]

the crosbow is such fun

[fading belfry]

dope

[pearl coral]

unfortunately too early for the game but i quite like them

[cinder steppe]

How do you even get the crossbow ? Beat the boss ?

[pearl coral]

loot it from the forest map every so often

[torn spindle]

Looks like a little robot head

[fading belfry]

fucking hate when the bolts bounce off

[sinful loom]

I like it

[cinder steppe]

Where in the forest ?

[pearl coral]

what type of visor do y'all think this would've had

[oak moss]

I mean theres absolutely no shot that there were zero houndskull bascinets in the era, because poor people with old rusty things their granddad had will always exist

[pearl coral]

crates beside the cart usually

[sinful loom]

Next to wagon

[pearl coral]

poor people wouldnt be fighting

[cinder steppe]

Thanks, I'll have to check it out when I'm done with the souls

[compact obsidian]

bottom right

[torn spindle]

I like the Bauble on the head

[cinder steppe]

Is there any more content once you beat the boss ?

[pearl coral]

idk if i agree with it though

[oak moss]

Arent levies peasantry?

[sinful loom]

I like these but ew french

[fading belfry]

horrendous underbite

[compact obsidian]

peasant soldiers

Serfs

[pearl coral]

levies werent used at this time

[pearl coral]

what am i looking at

[fading belfry]

it looks like one of those stupid pugs that always have an underbite

[pearl coral]

i'm commissioning one of those helmets

dont dog on it !!!!

[oak moss]

Okay, but someones grandfather might have been a peasant soldier at this time, This weird idea that no one would use a helmet because its 100 years out of fashion is silly

[pearl coral]

not a weird or silly idea to any historian worth their salt

[glad flame]

how to reverse grip daggers?

[sinful loom]

Have yall seen those really weird helmets that have like a square nose

[coral plume]

Is it possible to take the barons armor?

[pearl coral]

your hypotheticals do not stand up to real depictions and ledgers

[raw flare]

its one specific dagger that spawns on the tablke down in the celler

[fading belfry]

its a specific dagger called the rondle (?) dagger

[glad flame]

i wish the devs added it as a proper feature

[fading belfry]

swear

[pearl coral]

bascinets went out of fashion in 1420, the latest you'd have one is 1430 or MAYBE 1440 for any communal armory

[sinful loom]

Omfg these WHAT ARE THESE

[pearl coral]

that's a poor repro of the coburg bascinet

[glad flame]

if the game gets properly optimised and i can run it somewhat decently i will pay for it

[pearl coral]

it's unusual because it has a klappvisor mounted hounskull

[glad flame]

when it happens

[fading belfry]

whoville citizen helmet

[sinful loom]

I hate these

[glad flame]

that looks awful for protection

[pearl coral]

that one's a little better

why d'you hate em

[glad flame]

one hit to the nose and this guy gets a owl evolution

[pearl coral]

how so

[sinful loom]

Imagine getting pecked by your opponent bruh

[glad flame]

if someone hits the nose hard enough it will either knock he im out or snap his neck

[warm sky]

uhhhh apparently the last thing I did on my save was start a battle without any weapons
are there any in the environment on the forest map? 😅

[pearl coral]

if the nose gets hit hard enough the visor is going to flip upward

[warm sky]

help me out here

[fading belfry]

form over function always!!!!!!!!!

[warm sky]

I'd take a wooden stick lol

[glad flame]

i meant sideways

[oak moss]

Illustration of a battle made in 1470

[glad flame]

and since the visor is connected to the head it will still knock him out

[sinful loom]

💀

[oak moss]

There are Houndskull bascinets on the english side

[pearl coral]

not gonna get knocked out lol

[fading belfry]

can we get this exact scenario as a mode

[glad flame]

do you know how people get knocked out?

[pearl coral]

bascinets were used in the 1470s as illustratory devices to show that something took place a long time ago lol

the illustration is of a battle from 1415

[neat tundra]

now a good question would be why.
what happened to old sets of armor when they became obsolete? was it salvaged for metal and forged into something else?
is that why finding older armor is rare?

[oak moss]

That battle happened in 1450

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Formigny

[glad flame]

the brain clashes with the scull, if the head moves quickly the brain doesnt like it and shuts down operation

[pearl coral]

ah my bad

[torn spindle]

I have 75 Hours in the demo and STILL havent beaten the final challenge

[grand basin]

i feel bad for you

[pearl coral]

still 20 years old and still used as an illustratory device in the 1470s to show that something was old

[glad flame]

so if someone tilts the head quickly with force you will get knocked out

[oak moss]

So between 1450 and 1470, 20 years have passed, and everyone universally agreed to turn their houndskull bascinets into scrap metal because it was unfashionable

[sinful loom]

Okay goodnight fr

[torn spindle]

Its hard man 😔

[pearl coral]

the armor is going to absorb the impact more than your head is, it'd be more likely to come off or rotate than knock you out

[glad flame]

so if someone hits the nose part of the helmet it will tilt his head harder than normal knocking him out

[sinful loom]

Honk shoo honk shooo nini folks

[fading belfry]

rather die looking dope than live looking stupid

[feral oriole]

amen to that

[glad flame]

thats not how that works, if armour was soft enough to absorb the impact than armor would be useless

[pearl coral]

between 1400 and 1420 everyone universally agreed that bascinets were not the newest or best type of helmet anymore and either sold theirs to buy new ones or deposited them in communal armouries which disposed of them past 1440

[torn spindle]

AWWW I CANT SLOUGH THE SKIN OFF MY CHARACTER ?!

[pearl coral]

what the fuck do you think armor is for

it's meant to buckle under enough force so you dont buckle

[grand basin]

fr

[glad flame]

to protect from sabs and direct contact

[true grove]

i accidentally stabbed the patron in the stomach when i was walking him home

[feral oriole]

guys will the game even be playable on older drivers?

[waxen onyx]

yo is the game worth it (compared to demo)

[oak moss]

I can direct you to a video of a dude taking a mace blow to the head from a galloping horseman and not getting fucked up

[fading belfry]

armor is actually so you can look cool while fighting for a lord

[glad flame]

cool

seems rare but cool

[feral oriole]

it's really unoptimized rn, but i think it'll be fine soon enough

[waxen onyx]

thanks!

[feral oriole]

always

[oak moss]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwWOoHZGrnI

[pearl coral]

here's a bascinet depicted in 1520

[glad flame]

inshallah it will be good in future

[wanton flume]

how tf do i rank up?

[pearl coral]

fight in tournament

[waxen onyx]

Inshallah bro cant wait

[pearl coral]

bring friends

[wanton flume]

thanks

[fading belfry]

wrists are so floppy bro

[oak moss]

crazy they know what a bascinet looks like even considering they dont exist anymore

[pearl coral]

are you serious

[wide linden]

Alr, reached lord, sunk 6.5k into a sword, and purified my soul

[oak moss]

You're the one telling me that a helmet cant exist in a video game because knights didnt use them for 75 years

[dawn valley]

has it been teased that bows are in the next major update?

[oak moss]

thats whats silly to me
