I personallu find that the long swords are very rigid. I cant even break boxeo in the vorund while 2 handing them! Am I doing something wrong?
By the way, your are amazing at the game!

[@jjbonta]

Thanks! I've definitely felt that rigid feeling and yes it can be hard to do things as simple as breaking boxes. For some reason I find that swinging for low objects and enemies doesn't register as much as everything else with the longsword. I'd recommend keeping the swing motion as fluid as possible and swinging hard while engaging your core, but not as fast as you possibly can swing. If that doesn't help, just do some trial and error to test what works best for you.

Yeah so I have been doing HEMA for around 4 years mostly longsword and I got to say in this game, they feel awful, really slow and awkward and you mention a few times how small it is in game…yeah it’s tiny. I think they need to go back the drawing board on this one.

[@jjbonta]

What they have is better than any other VR game imo, but there's no way to truly simulate physical weight with the current consumer VR technology. Maybe they can tweak it to make it incrementally better, but I don't think a complete rework would do much quite yet. That's why I'd prefer they focus on magic at the moment because VR magic can truly feel...magic.

Thanks, the longsword looks much improved. Any idea why the voice chat is off by defaul? Can it be switched on when playing with random players?

[@jjbonta]

I thought the voice chat was on by default, but yes it can be turned on when playing with random players and friends. I don't remember exactly where it is in the menu though.

[@boydbrent1]

I’ve always received a ‘voice chat has been timed out’ message when spawned into the randoms lobby. I prefer using body language and hand gestures to communicate, but the total absence of voice chat and its acceptance by randoms is a bit of a mystery.

[@jjbonta]

I personally will almost only play DoE multiplayer when I can use voice chat, but there are many reasons some people don't use it. That voice chat timed out message doesn't happen to me very often, but there are a few Discord support threads about it. Here's a link to one with a few comments from the developers: discord.com/channels/1113164402313674802/1164711097492844635
