Yup
Either an issue with implementation or they plan to add blackening gear at the armorer
I hope so tbh
I doubt it's an issue with implementation considering there is still armour pieces of identical form and function in game and separate pieces with the same colour and etc
Ye i buy into the second idea more myself
YALL NEEED TO BRING ONLINE TO DIS
Early acess
Can I have one doler
So whats the deal with the darkened steal stuff?
We need this type of customisation in ea fr
i wonder if they are gonna let us craft the massive greatswords from the demo in ea
this game's poleaxe's are fucking horrible sometimes
clipping through the floors, offhand constantly slipping off the weapon
second time i've lost the barons main weapon now purely by this game's bullshit
no polearm for you since it stuck ever so slightly into the ground
awesome
i think i should show it off here
What are yalls preferred vambrace?
vambrace = forearm btw
This game uses one item for both.
just answer the question
for whatever reason the game refers to the entire arm harness as a vambrace
you nerd reacted, i'm not going to answer it
🖕
harness is better i believe
Both of these are labeled vambrace.
Harness dont cover the inside of the forearms
wait
what
so harness is just worse??
To my knowledge yes
italian man at arms
Is that Darth Vader
the best armor combination i got, waiting for some armor recoloring function to remove the tabard
otherwise it's 3 coloured and it's an ugly 3 color
What's ya fav arm harness?
well i like the german one quite a bit
This is probably not an effective pollaxe to bring to battle, but it's still quite fun to use
I have followed it up with a hafted warhammer
And I hit some guy so hard it turned his pauldron inside out
I would post an image but I cannot
This is basically just the barons beak lol
what are you referring to
The arm pieces. Not counting spaulders/pauldrons
the rerebrace, couter, and vambrace?
I like this
and the scandinavian one
also these rerebraces
Is your head visible through the back of this one? Its my favorite helm but im showing skin on the back
i guess im an idiot cause i thought these were german lol
hmm interesting
I'm trying to craft a longsword I can use to slice long distance but it ends up being unweidly
make it heavier
I hope that at some point they give us the full blackened steel armour that we had in the demo
also i wish that they would get round to fixing all of the clipping issues with chainmail, armour and tabards
Could you tell me if some armor pieces haven't been added to the game yet? I haven't been able to find the armor pieces shown to the right of the helmet yet. I understand it's chainmail on the head, and below that, chainmail on the head, some kind of robe or cape. Is this in the game or hasn't it been added yet?
hasnt been added
Imma disregard that question to say that pfp is majestic like damn
balance closer to handle is better to handle, balance towards the tip of the blade is more impact when hitting. just have to balance it to somewhere you are comfy using the sword but still do some dmg
Yeahhh, also you might wanna give it a bigger pommel, it costs the same but you get the balance further towards the handle and it makes it great for hitting armoured ppl with that pommel
the heaviest one for swords is the like drop shaped spiraly one
bigger as in not w the slider but with the arrows
You could just call them Germanic
Germanic is just a cheap fucking word
Because it doesn't even need to be from Germany just needs to be part of the linguistic group
And/or tribe
Germanic is not exclusively northern german
I think he made exactly that point right after saying that
...yeah, that's like what I said
no sword, polearm go "Bonk"
You didn't read what he said
He never said or implied it was exclusively northern german
"You could just call them Germanic
Germanic is just a cheap fucking word
Because it doesn't even need to be from Germany just needs to be part of the linguistic group"
I dont get it
I don't get what you arent getting lol
like wdym by "cheap fucking word"
"Because it doesn't even need to be from Germany just needs to be part of the linguistic group
And/or tribe"
You quoted the answer yourself sir
By cheap word he was making the same point you were, that its a broad term that can easily cover a lot
At least I think idk I aint him
Lol
man im too dumb for this rn
how to make a longsword as good as the demo one ?
The problem is with the wrists and not the sword :C
wdym
true
wrists have very little structure for whatever reason, it allows for much better defense
but attacking isnt as easy
best bec build for armored fighting imo
Needs a longer top spike
i messed with the longer spike and found it too top heavy
might have to make the haft shorter/head smaller
unfortunately... wrong...
becauseee
it isnt a doubleaxe
Yeah exactly
"Germanic" covers so much countries in Europe
It's so fucking broad that some people argue you could count France as germanic
(This is due to Franks)
dude where can i find these
the merchant or opponent
also I got my ASS handed to me
fuckin pissed
my helmet is fine cuz it got knocked off
tinfoil armor
Generic knight #2300
rate the fit
I tested another sword in the forge and I think the issue is that whenever I try to make my sword long for more reach, it just flops around when I swing it
Rather than having a smooth motion
try centering the balance of the sword
At the guard or in the middle of the blade?
hang on how did you get that crossbow
You can find them in the box next to the wagon in the forest
i prefer the center of mass to be in the middle of the grip
mabye a little closer to the guard than the middle
The outfit in the second pic is goated
do they spawn in every map or is a chance
Generally good swords are balanced around the guard
They wont hit as hard but are easier to control
seems to be around a 20% chance
there is a bolt bag that spawn seperatly
the small box right next to the one the crossbow spawns in
has it
the bolt quiver also spawns on the alley map in one of the barrels occasionally
Ideally it should be a couple inches above the guard tbh
Approximately 10% of the blade length above it
Still annoyed that you can't make the greatswords from the demo
do you keep all the arrows you find forever?
im not sure
They will stay with you until you spend them all.
But you have to find another ones if you spend them all
But, it seems like they get disappeared if you lose any match
Well yeah thats whats considered a properly balanced sword but different people like different things. Thats why I said "around"
damnn
love this fit
Why can’t I put on my bevor it’s red
Do you have an armet on
Cause you're wearing something that makes it incompatible.
Hey I can’t put all of the gold armour on only the chest
when did this channel spawn
Arming doublet?
Dry (I wish it clipped less)
yeah idk what to do abt that tho
Nothing, Ijust left tht off myself
Exactly what it was
Yo I just wanted to say, that the game is funny af. Hoping to see more updates in the incoming months! I'm playing with a rtx 3080, Ryzen 5500x3d and 16gb of ram. Some drops in certains maps like Alley and so, but perfectly enjoyable on high settings, 1080p. Thanks for the hotfixes!
just waiting for more drip to drop
Can't wait for brigandine
its a little early for halfsword's timeframe, but I really like the color on this knight
A Man-at-arms in France's standing army
Félix Henri Emmanuel Philippoteaux was a victorian artist, who painted many battles. I would use his paintings or sketches for the Franco-Prussian war since he lived in France in 1870-1871 (or French Revolution of 1848 since he was alive when it occured). I wouldn't rely on Victorian depictions of Knights only because they messed with historical terminologies and made many terms up without evidence to establish. They also overlooked manuscripts that use the "correct terms" such as a halberd in various French manuscripts (not a glaive). The victorians also oversaw lots of armours and studied them creating many "improper terms." There were also a lot of horrible reproductions of armour they made that gave a unhistorical sense of "unscholarly illustration" of Historical arms and armour.
(also dw, the italian cuirass we have is made between 1440 and 1445) and theres a few other early armours in the game.
Brigandine would be amazing, just not from that illustration.
I just liked the color on it, did man-at-arms particularly wear anything colorful like the covering on his cuirass?
ill pull some up rq
Yes, there are a lot of examples of covered breastplates shown in 1450-1470, Ill find some rq
I usually look to this image when I think of Brigandine
this is an amazing illustration for brigandine
do you have access to link?
I do
badass
I can only assume you'd have to be very wealthy to get your hands on smth like this
the reason I wouldn't use this one is because the brigandines are not proportioned correctly, which extants and brigandines in art have a more defined waist.. idk if I said that right but more of whats called a "wasp waist."
examples
These here are some illustrations of brigandine.
(extant for that one sketch)
notice the lance rest
Check this out https://www.pinterest.com/camacurt_/brigandines-iberia/
(inside)
and spaulders for shoulders and such
lots in manuscripts
some good reproductions
https://manuscriptminiatures.com/4056/11775
somewhat unrelated, but were padded coifs/chain coifs used in the 15th century? I'd love to see them ingame but Im struggling to find examples easily (the image is late 14th century). I can only find examples pre 15th century
maille coifs are more 1380-1410 iirc
latest I can find and it doesn't look great (1440)
interesting
Not exactly coifs but you should definitely check this: https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1447680665263931584
I was really hoping padded/mail coifs would be accurate 😢
They're accurate but not for Half sword period
honestly this is pretty nice
what I meant to say
hell yeah
really dont think padded coifs were popular to wear alone in 1450-1470 at all
This is a buhurt helmet for sport. (not historical reenactment)
Currently looking through manuscript and I cant find anything 😥
were guys really just wearing helmets with no padding?
helmets were padded on inside
just only under the helmet
pretty much
damn
A helmet is usually the first piece of armor you'd see someone wearing
if they are anything more than just regular clothing, they probably have a helmet
for the militia class in hs its pretty common to just wear a helmet
but ive also seen guys with just a breastplate or jackchains
gambeson isnt plate armour though
if anything the arming doublet is the toughest imo lmao
(irl)
thought we were just talking armor
oh fr?
yeah
I was
That said, those dudes are very much in a "you get what you get situation." if anyone might not have a helmet, it would be them
:3
lanceresting in the club
camacurt is so goat
I hope they add more more armor that isnt just full metal cuirass and breqstplates
Italian inspired kit
they could add brigadine but other then that they already have chainmail and gambesons
now you can enjoy being free of the grind and just play free mode, improve your fighting skills, whatever
split some skulls
create pac-mans
or jokers
aot
how do i make a really well balanced arming sword
they should add brigandine armor like in kcd2 forexample brigandine breastplate and leggings and arm armor. milanese brigandine is my favorite
insure every item in the game so you can use it in free play
We have the Baron
baron is not wearing a brig. It is a breastplate covered in textile
kcd2 is a poor example for armor most of the time
milanese brigandine iirc is not even a brig either, but a corazzina
They may not have the same level of accuracy (the hounskull in the first game maddens me) but they do have nicer variety nonetheless
I know people will argue "erm actually its highly unlikely your grandad would pass down armour for xyz reason" but the concept of having tiers between plate and chain instead of just partial plate is fun
Full baron set yet? Doing the last part of the armor trying to make the touney with staff lol Inmanage till 5/6 fight
guys how can i equip cuisses and stuff for ellbows or shoulder, im maxed out an still cant equip it and i dont know why
i mean all of the “between” tiers in KCD are still just partial plate armor.
guys how can i equip cuisses and stuff for ellbows or shoulder, im maxed out an still cant equip it and i dont know why
you need to wear an arming doublet
For cuisses and arm stuff you need an arming doublet. For the arm stuff the arming doublet needs to not have chains which can be removed at the armoursmith.
Brigandines are not partial plate
Just because they have metal in them
They are plate armor
Okay dawg
how do i get this gore
You know exactly what I mean when I say partial plate, you're just being a contrarian
how are they not plate armor? by definition a brig is several small plates riveted together to form a single piece of armor
I do but it’s not like brig, pairs of plates, etc are not also plate armor.
OH MY GOSH ITS BEAUTIFUL
Yeah and I guess lamellar is also plate cause it has little plates of metal eh?
yeah
plate armor = armor with solid plates of metal be it large pieces or not
Lol
what most people refer to something as is not a reason to accept a definition
most people refer to halberds as vouges or pollaxes with mallets as lucerne hammers
Yeah lets throw out standard accepted definitions and argue pedantically over definitions so we can always be right
If the standard accepted definitions are incorrect then yes throw them out lol
i’ll just leave it at that
Calling everything with metal in it "plate armour" hugley muddies the water and removes any semblance of specificity in definition. Accepted definitions work completely fine even if they arent "technically entirely correct." Trying to turn the term for a specific type of armour into an entire category just so you can be right is dumb and raises the question then of what "large plate armour" should be called if we cant simply refer to it as plate armour. Is it "single-piece" plate? What then about pieces that have 2 or three conjoined? Should we call it rigid plate? In that case, what about pieces that articulate? You're splitting hairs for no reason.
And I'll just leave it at that lol

Is a motorized vehicle with 4 wheels and a license plate not a car? Or is that too broad and muddles the specificity of it
what
It doesn’t cause we already have precise terms
for different forms of plate armor
lamellar, brigandine, pairs of plates, etc etc
Exactly
But broadly they are all “plate armor”
imagine if you couldn't use any broad categories in real life
Honest to goodness
Oh youragreeing everything with metal should be called plate armour
So then what's the specific term for later century armour that used larger plates without leather?
Yeah because they’re METAL PLATES 😭
plate harness
It’s a BROAD TERM, to collectively refer to multiple pieces of plate armor that have specific names
everything with solid plates of metal yes
not every form of metal armor lol
But brigandines and lamellar are also harnesses utilizing plates. So how do I know specifically what you're talking about?
There’s a distinct difference between maille rings and plates, but if there’s is a piece of armor distinctly composed of plates of metal why would I call it and other pieces by their individual names when I can simply say “plate armour”
brigandine is not what one would call plate harness, neither is lamellar, you'd call this a harness
Holy fuck. 😭
anyway the main point is that brig, lamellar, any armor that has metal plates involved is plate armor but there are ofc specific terms to refer to each
we are in semantics hell
“Plate harness and brigandine”
Yeah but your entire argument was that "plate armour" is too vague and therefore should not be used to refer to that specific type of armour, and then you just go "yeah it's a plate harness" as if that isnt literally just as vague. Why is this good and plate armour isnt?
Because people decided so?
If so I'll point to this statement
huhhh
i said that brig, lamellar, corazzina, whatever is still plate armor and plate armor does not only refer to things like the picture above
Crecy I’m beginning to believe this isn’t worth the effort
yea
Nobody asked you to say anything dawg you can see yourself out at any time. Haven't contributed anything to the convo anyhow.
Man how about you see yourself to a classroom, you’re only proving how uneducated ignorant you are
Woah dude sick burn!
Case in point
And I'm saying that "plate harness" as a term is as vague as "plate chestpiece" or even "plate shirt" but you accept it for some reason while refusing to accept plate armour. Anything with straps that can be tightened is a harness, and by that logic brigandines and any other strapped armour utilizing plates could be defined as a plate harness, but thats not the definition people have agreed on.
It's "case and point" stop trying to look smart lmao
Someone’s gotta pick up the slack with you here
A village is depraved of an idiot right now
Can yall discuss this without being mean to eachother
bro ur insults are so bad
mortuus is trying to be mean but its like really bad
U right my mistake
Who’s your little apprentice karto
Man is just blatently baiting. Its kinda sad.
I’m just wonderin, I’m moving on if you are
Cut your losses buddy trolling aint for you
Cops showed up I’m movin on, who am I to argue with them

someone isnt familiar with their armours
Can yall shut up and talk about halfsword arms and armour 

i love halfsworf arm and armor
Educate me man. What would someone refer to a specifically 15th to 16th century plate glove/gauntlet as? Like whats the term that describes these while excluding lamellar or brigandine gauntlets? Same question for helmets. I know there are specific ones like armets etc, but what is the category of helmet that includes things like the the armet while exclhding things like scale/lamellar caps/helmets?
check this guy out
sallet and gauntlets make me think swedish at least
If I can't ask this here then where can I?
Making a thread in https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1055560006407303188 might produce desirable discussion
They gotta be planning to make more use of that area. There is so much detail hidden from the vanilla player
I stole these photos, how do you actually see this?
do you hit C when forging with weaponsmith in game?
Im not sure. I think its with some sort of camera unlocker
can’t do that but honestly you should lol
damn it doesnt work
didnt they mention dialogue system in new announcement?
yeah
this looks neat
gauntlet? and helmet?
brigandine and lamellar are specific names for specific types of plate armour. a harness would refer to a complete “suit of” plate armour made with larger plates. this word cannot be applied to lamellar or brigandine because they do not fit the definition of harness in terms of armour
Is this in the slums map?
why is his helmet so small
afaik that's the forge, when making a custom weapon
Yall how thick should a montante cross gaurd be?
idk
is it just me or is it so hard to stab accurately with a sword, or even a spear
oo this room is literally this on the map
i just noticed
so this is where our player lives
cause it cant be the tavern cause tavern in the city
The player probably lives in the tavern considering we pay to sleep there
maybe but u can also just fight in the night instead of resting
maybe he lives in an alley and his money just gets stolen every night
when u finish a fight u go back to the jester's menu and u can just fight again if its night time
though if u quit u cant go back to the jesters stuff
Isnt it more likely that is the weaponsmith and armoursmiths shared workshop considering we only go there when talking to those
but u also go there for ur inventory and merchant
also wouldnt it be too far
u right but doesnt the intro say we live in the tavern
wait it does?
i forgor
Im pretty sure but could be wrong
we need more halfsword lore raah
Fr bru
Dis game has so many potential for crazy ahh lore
Just imagine game theory making a vid bout dis game
yo, whats that on his hand?
a gauntlet?
a targe
How to get here?
Maybe new areas that the Half Sword devs want to add as a new fight area or something
this is probably the place where you craft weapons and not a new arena
like where the weapons are rendered to you infront of the furnace
anyone know why i can't equip upper leg armor? #game-footage-🎮🎥
need an arming doublet
otherwise it will not work
thank you
yw
its where you craft weapons
and where you buy weapons and armor and clothes, and where your character shows up when you customize armor and when you pick your gear in your inventory
half sword short film would be cool
wouldnt that just be

wait I dont have those spaulders insured wtf
I thought I had it all
you can thank me another time 🔥
still makes me sad that the breastplate has no back on it
hopefully It will
wrong image
this one 😭
love the Italian gear a lot
@reef trout were visored barbutes real or common at all?
I see em in media
skeptical though
The point of a barbute is to not have a visor, so Ive heard. There are some depicted before half swords period. one sec
ty
It’ll never undo the damage
whats after baron standart
The helmet haunts my nightmares
idk
Idk either
oke
But seriously
That fucking helmet is the worst
I curse Ubisoft for making it popular
fat tony still resonates with me....
urban legend of the reference channel
cant possibly be that bad 😭
it is...
aint this more of a bassinet though
It prob could be called one
could also call it a barbute because of the shape, same with the bascinet
and thats where terminologies get fucked...
prob more broad of an answer I can come up with
They really need to add the warden armor into the game, would really fit with the period
FAT TONY IS SKELO
honestly thats what I thought it was when he posted the pic
ITS NOT ME
I can’t claim to be that good at rage bait
still curses me....

At this point, I have no doubt that Fat Tony is infiltrating the server
I thought he got banned
He’ll reappear when we’re comfortable in our security
PLEASE
Eric Andre is a visionary
Fun fact
The devs refuse to add historically accurate armor for knights, despite them being capable of doing it
Blame class identities
it would go really hard but sadly warden's helmet is not historically accurate
its a barbute that someone put a fake visor on top of 😭
i love the drip in for honor so much but its not historical really
yeah lmao
the samurai faction is a little dubious
kensei's armor is a little wack
IT'S A GRINDDDDD
OROCHI THO
For the historically accurate armor
PEAK
For the Samurai
kyoshin is fucking funny ik he has some silly anime block
yeah i quit playing for honor a while ago sadly
Yeah sadly knights only get historically accurate helmets SOMETIMES
rip
depends on what you classify one as "barbute"
ty again
it's a high bar(bute) to clear
I'll see myself out
proto barbute ish
im going to enter the conversation and say that knights got the best fashion
and to quit for honor
you still got time
i hope
I quit for honor like
years ago
I played the game on launch
in 2015
to 2020
wasn't it released in like 2017?
2016 i believe actually

God for honor has such dogshit armor
new arm harness acquired and insured
why is your skull poking out of the helmet
clipping
why is your skull too big for the helmet
Really hoping the Devs add a Houndskull Helm in the future
those are too early for the game
Are they? Thought they had some significance still.
I see now yeah. Still love the Pig Face tho
Did you come from a reddit post
No why?
ok nvm
Right on. Similar question i take it?
Heated debate in a post like that occuring at this moment yeah
Thats funny
tf is up with the game randomly making my character a sped? i randomly just cant walk forward ill only like wiggle in place and fall backwards then be fine after
it's to simulate mercury poisoning the devs said it in a Q&A
(i lie)
its to simulate that you dont hit the gym
probably something like your feet clipping into the ground when loading in
stamina
yeah its not that, i start a new life and my character just cant go forward its like he is having a stroke then i lose and go in regardless of healing or not it fixes
Just went to go check it and my god they’re going at each other over there
Someone said that a poor person would have a houndskull because they werent rich enough to replace it😭
Not sure how many poor people had access to plate armor and intricate helmets
why did they state specifically houndskulls and not just bascinets in general
A poor person is more likely to have a bascinet than a hounskull and even then some “poor people” helmets are already in-game
The argument context was around houndskulls specifically
But yeah
aren’t houndskulls bascinet visors
Yes
They frequently show up on bassinets but they are not exclusively bassinet visors
Yeah its the visor that makes it distinct from any other bascinet
Okay so note to self, "Houndskull" is a cursed word in this chat.
so why isnt this message deleted?
since i bypassed automod
cmon now

this is such a cool couter
I lowk wish the couter and rerebrace of the two images I asked y'all for were combined
Like, the couter and rerebrace (along with the vambrace) as a set would be so much better than just...ornate rerebrace and shitty couter and vambrace than ornate couter and vambrace with shitty rerebrace
But a boy can wish 😔
It woul be cool if they expanded the armour system to allow for that
guys is brigandine armor and a bascinet a thing you guys want in HS
as people here have reiterated time and time again, bascinets are extremely uncommon at the timeframe the game is based on
afaik it's 1400s, I think 1450+
yeah i dont think it was the 13th century no
1450-70, as indicated by the #references♥_1450-1470 channel
We could get a great bascinet
it would be very late though
Though it would satifsy the demand for a bascinet
we can get an armor mod sometime maybe
and get all the cool looking stuff like froghelm bascinet brigandine
I wish we had padded hosen
the royal dunce cap
Would also be peak
brigandines in this game would be nice
Not a thing
does anyone know how to do multiplayer ?
By begging to the server hamster
What about chausses?
though I'm not sure if chausses were still used past like, the 14th century maybe?
with plate armor at least
someone feel free to clown me if I'm wrong
u mean maille chausses?
there's some very scarce sources showing what could be maille chausses
never seen padded ones
ever
though iirc this is more a joust harness?
yes
thun sketchbook has something similar but always in a tourney setting
also btw chausses aren't really that different from hosen they're basically the same but iirc chausses refer to maille 'hose'
chausses is just french for hose
i see
I'm aware, I just use the term chausses for maile hose (or similar articles)
but as far as padded hosen go, i have yt to see anything that would indicate their existance for the game's timeframe
Oh no
those are 100% outdated by the time of the game
I believe they have some historical precident but they would not be used in our time period...being like, the 1500s (iirc)
me neither beside this really
1475
yeah nah
Thank you
These are the ones I am referring to
i would call those cuisses rather than chausses
yes
a more fitting term tbh
(cuisses = thighs in french btw)
Some might also show you these as an example of padded hose but they're not
they have plates sewn in them
panzerhose
I wonder how effective panzerhose was
i'd guess better than cloth
i mean, they'll stop you from getting stabbed and getting an artery cut
pretty good
in all fairness if I had to choose getting stabbed in the thigh with or without panzerhose I'd take my chance with panzerhose
regular hosen seem to be way way more popular either way, even if it obv didn't protect as much but as of why it's the case ? My only guesses are just maintenance, weight
also legs aren't as much of a target on foot
hell I didn't even think about that
much more important to armor the legs when fighting mounted
how would you maintain panzerhose
same way you'd maintain pants but with plates inside
so sew it back together, replace the plates you lost/broke, patch holes ect
(or have someone do it for you)
seems very labour-intensive for something that likely didn't have too much use
yeah
like crecy said it's more interesting to armor your legs up if you're riding
as a footman your legs aren't really in grave danger
I mean that and you'd probably have a shield right?
or a pretty long polearm
you could, many didnt tho
but I mean even then your arms and eyes are up there, it's just easier for you and your opponent to stab each others on the upper body than to have to out of your way to attack the legs tbh
(as infantry)
not to say it didn't happen
but it clearly was not a primary target
Well when you're shoulder to shoulder with men and about to start stabbing away at other men it would be odd to be staring at their thighs
right
- the worst parts of the femoral artery we do see covered with maille skirts or braies
that and gambesons could cover the thighs couldn't they?
gambesons not really a thing anymore, jacks yeah but they also were different to the old standalone armor that was gambeson
more akin to a doublet in shape, but dense
ic ic
sure looks protective
yeah some also made the argument in period that it was preferred for an archer (non-mounted combatant) to wear jacks than brigandines
explaining that jacks and brigandines were relatively close in term of amount of protection but the jacks needed WAY less maintenance/maintenance tools
so allowing a soldier that didn't have a whole ass wagon of logistic following him to take care of his equipement whenever
I could already see why archers would wear jacks over brigadine, but with that added info, yeah makes a lot of sense
(keep in mind that in these french sources archer basically just meant infantry, including shooters)
and brigandine was still an option for them if they wanted to, but it was prefered that they wore jacks
Ngl I love the look of the harnesses more… I just wish they fixed the elbows being bloody and the sleeves having holes in them…
It’s a hard choice tho because I wish it had 2’s elbows but 1’s sleeves… But imo for the “articulated” look, harnesses are good… I just wish we had more protective/covered harnesses… Maybe a higher tier harness as opposed to the pauldron and vambrace combo? The trade off would be better general protection (spaulders/pauldrons + vambraces) and flexibility/articulation (harnesses)?
I wonder what perfectly matches the cuisses… I love the little triangle shape thingies (are they called fluting?), but I have yet to find a pauldron + vambrace combo that matches it in terms of looks and such… Other than the #1 photo vambraces… But to me, it isn’t exactly it… + I don’t know why it’s cheaper than the other vambraces despite having fluting (or whatever the ridges are called), more body coverage, and being lighter…
So me, personally, I’d rather switch out the shoulder and vambraces for the harnesses (2 in 1 arm armor)
Oh shi I js looked at the image a couple messages above, and I think #2 matches the armet and bigger pauldrons/spaulders more. If you’re choosing strictly from the photos, I pick #1 if you’re using sallet + bevor 👍👍👍
These are the harnesses btw @twilit zephyr, if you’re looking for the articulated look
I miss Mordhau. I love ts game because I’m not being cooked by crazy swing manipulation like wessex, while still looking at beautiful armor with the funny voice lines…
Plus, ts game especially fills the craving for knight dress up sim…
mordhau's single best feature is the customization, change my mind
You know I actually got harnesses but I forgot to take a photo and no photo means no photo means no visible option
But the harness isn't a bad look
Aeternis+mordhau is best
rating purely based on the head and how fun they are to use
base polearm, no weight or mass changes
poleaxe stays on top
Does anyone know what causes the quiver to disappear, I grab it in the forest map and then sometimes it lasts 1-2 matches and other times it just disappears after I leave the forest, it never has bolts in it either
what’s wrong with the D tier halberds
Bro going to prom
I wish I could tell you why but I have no idea
i agree with halberds rank, but i also think halberd and halberd should be a bit higher. i would honestly put halberd in A and halberd in C i think. also halberd should be in S.

bro you're out of your mind putting halberd in A, it needs to switch places with the halberd
But have we considered the halberd?
not when the halberd outshines it
you did NOT just put halberd in d
it's an s
no actually
the rusty halberd should be an s
Dang you're right
gold hafted i made for fun
experimenting with the crafting is surely a fun thing to do after finishing the game
true
the craftable ones suck
the demo halberd is good
the craftable ones just arent sharp
leg protection is honestly overrated
Half plate is best
i made a 7.1kg poleaxe
Why am I unable to craft?
what way
It only gives me the "Adjust Armor" and "Leave" options
you cant craft armor yet
you can craft peices for armor sometimes as you progress tho
Im at the Lord rank though
thats the armorer
are you tring to craft armor?
thats not a thing, but the weaponsmith and armorer take turns
half harness the goat
Took the advice of @lost warren, what do we think of my lad?
more like tough

I like 🥹 personally, I js remove ALL the chainmail except for the standardt for minimal clipping… Problem is, the bloody elbow bug for arming doublets… (I hope mail voiders are added one day as a more lightweight and skin-tight alternative to the hauberk so we can get beautiful armor with less clipping PLUS the protection of mail in the few gaps of intricate armor 👍)
First set has voiders, I think?
Second photo is the look I’m going for personally…
Third photo too, except it has faulders?
I love ts game 🥹 I miss Mordhau armor so much fr.
Like, I hope this game would do REALLY good once the optimization is ironed out… And it can be like the king of niche historical physics-based combat AND warrior dress up…
Could you imagine Half Sword sequels? Like, ancient? Gladiators? 16-18th century gentleman’s duels? Crusades? Different non-European cultures, even?
That would be sick, even as DLC or something, though I’d imagine having the different armors being physics based (mail is okay, I think… But lamellar, scale and such? That would be interesting! I heard the Byzantines were already using plate armor [or Italian mercs with plate armor] by the time Constantinople fell, but I think that would still be pretty cool! I don’t know much about history and stuff, but I wonder what Cuman or Tartar (steppe-like peoples? Apologies if this is offensive and stuff) warriors looked like by this time, and how different would they be compared to prime Genghis’ time. Like, would it still be relatively lighter armored like the rest of the East compared to climate and the nomadic lifestyle? Did Tartars farther in the west and who assimilated into Hungary incorporate more plate armor than in the East?
Sorry for nerding out, but ts game is peak…
Even with the small little flaws over the demo (if optimization was improved, and JUST the floppy wrists were fixed, I think this game is mint for me… For me? The physics and handling of weapons mostly are good for now when they work like they’re supposed to… Sure, swords may feel like pool noodles at times, so I have to make it a bit more blade heavy and sacrifice the handling from bringing the balance away from the hilt… But when your guy actually remembers how to grip and hold his weapon? It’s good. When you aren’t hovering your offhand when holding a longsword without you realizing it? It’s good… When you aren’t holding a poleaxe like a baseball bat? It’s good! I just wish the switching was more responsive or consistent like in the demo… It doesn’t have to be THAT fast, slow is good for balance… But it’s just too weird sometimes haha), this game is peak. Been waiting a long time for exanima too, but it’s taking a while… But I love this game because of how precise you can be when lucky as opposed to relying on a healthbar for reassurance…
Those gauntlets look sick… I still gotta find one like it to truly match the cuisses…
Fr. When my cheeks aren’t being clapped constantly by dudes that were there since launch, and I can appreciate just simple swing manipulation without being read by Floyd “Fortunate” Merriweather the Unhittable while wearing the finest drip… Mordhau is peak. It’s peak for all the technical stuff too, I guess, but it’s kinda too dead and I’ve been away for quite a while that the skill gap is just so wide.
thanks to the barons beak
Don't worry about it twin, I don't mind when ya nerd out, and lowk I'd also much rather have voiders over wearing hauberk under my plate
Certainly peak, however just like chivalry, at the highest levels duels look so unbelievably goofy because of all the 360 drag accel fake-out somersault cartwheel triple backflip quuintuple chambering chaos. So much fun to duel people that are similar skills though. Half sword is the new peak thankfully
Fr 🥹 The only way that fights will actually look like fights in Mordhau is if the other guy is just as buns as me 🥲
guys guess what
i completed the entire half sword baron tier
full armor
after you get every armor piece
you get something called "Baron Set"
which gives you another set of baron armor
aura farming while dying
dude what?? REALLY??? REALLY??
nah thats crazy, must be misinformation
hey that's mine
thief
tf?
(not the earliest instance of me using it but my point stands)
(not necessarily in this server
peasants and commoners should be able to have this flail
I dont have the example from game
this is impossible
getting the baron armor is obviously impossible you have to solve a riddle
you just get cheap knock off gilded version
fake news
sorry
oh wait
thats the gilded one
lolll
nooob
get the gold one
you have to solve riddle
0.5 second without half sword
modded clothing?
decapitating people in style with a hot pink gambeson and hosen on
including the metal used for any weapon, litteraly gotta change a single number to get full gold weapon, for the poleaxe it added 800g for me, for the longsword the weight and balance didn't move
fr bro
i cooked a nice little compilation
i'll release it today
wondrous
perpetual motion
can you change the metal of armor?
it wasn't working when i tried but there's probably a way to do it
idk anything about modding, i just changed values in the files
ahh ok
I don’t think you can change the metal in armor
interesting to see the parallels (even if superficial) between exanima's item file modification and half sword's
Halfsword perpetual motion machine
Wsg civil
anyone know some good values to use for poleaxe?
Which file did you edit to change equipment colors?
Open player character --> armor --> find your doublet/hosen or whatever (you can also search keyword to locate it easier), then you want to edit the fabric color 1 and 2, it works with rgb values, they work in the decimal, for example if you wanna put 255 use 0.255
You can also find your stuff through player inventory too, but it's easier if you equip it before exiting the game because you can find it instantly on your character in the files
I see, sorry what file is that though? There's a player character file?
I haven't looked at all, savefiles aside
It's also possible to change weapon wood and leather and also weapon metal, for wood it seems that the colors are restricted tho, i tried getting purple and it only turned out pink
It's in the game progress file
Okay, thank you!!
It would be way easier to understand if i sent you a screen, but basically once you get in that file you'll understand
Also the "player character" line is found under the "root" line in the files
I'm on phone rn tho
It's okay, I got it! Thanks for explaining man!
Make color fabric 1 and 2 the same i forgot to mention
What program do you use to open the game progress file? Tried notepad++ but it seems like everything isn't loading properly.
Its a thing online
What's it called?
Does that mean i can "ungold" the baron's armor ?
hey guys i finally got the full blued armor from grinding on lord tourney. has anyone else gotten it?. i put a normal chestplate for comparison because its not as blue as it was in the demo
Uuuuuuuuuuuh
Thats a LOT of tourneys holy shit
Jokes aside did you actually get balckened cuirasses ? Ive been looking for them for a hell of a long time
Holy beauty, any tips to fnd every pieces ? Ive got the cuisse arms and half gauntlets
Yo congrats
I didn't even think there was full blue armor
Did you find the piece on the enemies or in the shop ?
I tried golding regular armor by changing colors and it didn't work
So it must be more complicated
Sad
Probably an actual modder could do it tho but i doubt they're going for that
In the end this stuff is code and texture etc
Someone that knows these things could change it
this thing sends you to heaven/hell in one tap
send the save
sharing is caring
alright fine..
i will give everyone
the armor
please note that my save file IS messy though
blue armor for all
rejoice in the hues of blue my brothers
but how did you get the blue? Was it on an enemy or something?
magicians secret
dont make me 🔼 ▶️ 🔽 🔽 🔽
alright
i dug through the files in fmodel and did some magic
where do you get the lanterns
same for the baron's beak, only weapon in which ive managed to rip off people's helmets in knight tier
pretty sure those are the abyss lanterns, you can take stuff from the abyss
but its marked as red, idk what that does
Abyss
Did you take a screenshot?
i cant
for some reason
ill try
someone also posted a video about it
this is the last we're ever gonna hear of this guy I bet it
the spirit of willie is gonna get him or smth
the hyper-realistic spirit of willie
holy shit
it did not work
it did not let me phase through the barrier
willie arg typa shit
I'M WILLIE THE KILLER!!!
heres the vid
GHM... Someone pls tell me what this means
wdym ufo
you mean the book?
tf i searched it on google
its real
theres also one on the alley map
heh
the aliens were using their evil alien lag device to lag the map
thats why its noticeably more laggy than other maps
Those damn Aliens
fr
its revenge for their line of poor quality gaming laptops failing here on earth
now everyone's game runs like a poor quality laptop
who actually uses the baron armor
I do 
How did you do actually
Did you change some existing armor colors ? Or something else
GHM stands for galaxyhighmarshal who is the blood VFX dev. He has a few of those tags scattered around.
I'm not some coding wizard I simply analyzed the files and moved some values around to change the model from one to another.
That's very interesting, so is the blue armor in the files this whole time ? What values did you change
Armor core
Because i tried to change rgb colors but it didn't work
It's not actually part of the game
The game has old file blueprints from the demo
Basically
I've looked through modern armor bp's
There is
No blue armor
That I know of
They've changed their naming system of files to numerical and not labeled so it's messy and hard to look at
That's very interesting, do you tihnk it would be possible to use the gold armor that way ? For example the older chestplate and pauldrons and gold shoes
Yes that's what I was thinking
But the caveat being
The armor does not contain buff body types
Ah so the texture clips through ?
So if you are 1.5 or higher your arms and chest will be monstrous huge
No
Because of the blueprints quality
Or code
I'm not on my pc rn so i kinda forgot what it looks like in the files but what values did you changed in order to get blue armor ?
