Spear bracing

[[VSC] ♰ Arthedain ♰]

So in the update notes it says you can now spear brace but when I do so in MP nothing happens for any of the spears/lances or pikes....

Spear bracing is a feature for lances on horses. There is no 'sticking your long boi into the floor' feature.

There is. They announced it and even showed it in the video. In the patch notes it said they added it but it does not work.

AFAIK it's actually just for the two-handed pikes.

Tried them to alongside a lot of people in the server today. Still nothing :/

Quite a shame tho since it would be super epic

conversely, they also announced spears with hooks in the video, but i can't see them added in the beta patch notes. are they not implemented yet?

Hey! Spear Bracing is a new feature and currently applied in the beta branch; this is from the 1.5.0 Beta Patch Notes:

Spear Bracing:
Only possible with lances and pikes. Pressing ‘X’ key once while stopped, activates the bracing. Attacking, defending, crouching, jumping and running actions cancels the bracing. Players can only walk slowly while bracing is active. Please note that the damage values are still yet to be balanced.

Since multiplayer is only available for the stable branch, you will be able to use this feature when 1.5.0 comes to stable with the next patch.

Addition: We have activated our Multiplayer Beta Servers to allow players to test new multiplayer features. Here is the part from 1.5.0 Beta Patch Notes:

Announcement About Beta Servers
>> Beta servers do not share any data with Live servers. Which means no data will be transferred from Live to Beta or Beta to Live.
>> US, EU and EA will get all the usual servers and services.
>> There will be a single server on Oceania to allow players to test new combat changes.
>> Beta servers connect to a testing server and because of that Lobby servers will not use SSL connection.
>> Clans that are created WILL be carried over to main!

So you can try these features with beta branch (1.5.0) now!

Wait Iam on 1.5.0 beta and I just had a multiplayer session in wich I did the brace thingy with a 2h pike from the battanian recruit. You do have to be immobile while pressing X though.

You should add spear bracing to single handed spears so SP Sturgia quits getting rolled by vlandian meme cavalry as they watch the charge and don't do anything with tier 5 heavy spearman :)
