Well simply some people just don't want to be on their feet. For some people they just want to relax as they play games. :wftogrin:

But anyway OP, Kospy recently mentioned he was considering implementing a manual height slider as a solution to people who end up with strange height calibrations from being quite tall or quite short. If this were to happen then a person could calibrate standing up, then sit down and use the manual override to make it suited for sitting down, which is perfect for what you need.

So I think that's the best answer you could hope for at the moment, so I'll lock the thread now so that we don't encourage any fighting.

I'm not sure why not but there might be a couple reasons; no calibration for when you're seated currently (it dwarfs your player model if you try) limited swing motions could be frustrating, sheathing weapons could be annoying or not possible. The game just feels like it was designed to be standing and stanced as if you were in a real fight

dont see why not?

Because unlike say an FPS, in this game you must twist your body, throw custs from angles not possible when sitting etc.

Is there a specific reason you want to only play this game seated?

I can't see it happening. This is basically a fitness game as it is, it requires ALOT of mobility when playing it, you need to be able to duck, dodge, swing weapons in full arcs etc.

I actually played it seated the other night as I was testing some stuff, it just doesn't work. You cannot swing your arms properly, you can't turn your body at all, you cant duck attacks as easily because you have to lean forward in your chair etc.

Basically what all this means is, if they were to add a seated mode, then there are many more layers of accessiblity that need to be tacked on for the seated users, so they can do everything that a standing user can.

I'm all for accessibility in VR, if it makes sense. Unfortunately a seated mode with B&S would probably cause more problems than it solves.

the game is more of a playground than anything else. seated mode does not take away from that. ducking, dodging and swinging seated is all possible with slight concessions. If someone wants to play seated at the cost of making the game a little harder, so be it. Options never hurt anybody. They don't have to advertise the game for seated. If they really wanted to they can give a disclaimer when switching that the best experience is standing.

It doesn't even take much. at the very least they can allow you to input your own height like literally every other vr game

Well.. yes? You're asking for it, for a start. It must matter to you?

I learned that hitting the doorframe on a too fancy back swing... :P
Still got the bruises....
I guess a manual height adjustment could be added for seated play, sure will be limited but better than being half your height.

Honestly. that is almost all it would take and maybe a crouch button

Yes I'm English. And are you ok? You seem upset and to be very avoidant when people ask you why you want seated mode in a sword fighting game where wide arm movement is needed as opposed to gun games, where it isn't. Not necessary to be that patronising for no object reason, mate.

Many games are inside a program called VRChat along with 'Sword Fighting' and it has a seating mode.

There are many sword games you can play seated just fine, depends on how the game works. Given how you must move your arms to get enough force ect in this game, I don't see the point, sure you can sit in the chair and wave your sword, but that's not really what this game is about.
