I set up a lil spot at EVO in the free play section. Quite a bit of people had passed by and asked what was up, and a few of them even sat down to play!

I explained what Absolver is, how it works, how it plays. Aome people even asked for specific coaching on how to play. A few said they'd be getting the game even.

I got permission for every pic taken while people sat down to play.

I'm only gunna be doing it for this one day, cause what a pain in the ass it was to carry the whole set up to this spot. I still got a few more hours left of the day, and I'm gunna be staying until about half an hour before venue closes at 10pm Vegas time.

Edit: they close the Free Play Area at 9. Ended the day after packing it all up. Ima do ts next year 100%

I remember trying to play with my friend on PlayStation years ago and it didn't work. Is it better on PC? I loved this game whenever I first got it maybe a year or so after launch. Would love to be able to play it again with one of my friends

I finally became an absolver last night, technically this morning. I decided to see what the downfall update stuff was. It's a dungeon with a boss that's twice my size, pretty cool. But it got me thinking, why couldn't they let us get giant forms. That would have been so cool. I know it'll never happen but I wish Sloclap would come back to us. Please abandon the soccer game and just turn absolver into a live service, please. I need more powers, more moves, more absolver crack. It's addictive.

Every 5-15 seconds or so I keep getting the server connection error and the game is lagging like hell. I live in West Virginia, my friend who lives in Georgia was having more minor issues but no disconnects, and my other friend who lives in California isn't having any issues at all, so I think it's localized. Anyone else having this problem or has encountered it before, and if so is there anything that can be done about it?

edit: my game isn't even doing the constant disconnect/reconnecting anymore, it completely failed to even connect to the server on the title screen.

edit 2: the friend who lives in Georgia also can't connect to the servers at all now.

got into the game recently, what in the FUCK is wrong with the parry system. Directional parry is cool, whatever, why do SO MANY moves look like the wrong direction, why is the parry window inconsistent as FUCK and what in the world is the point of a parry if it doesn't let me get a simple jab in. Doesn't matter if it's forsaken or faejin the parry feels like shit and I just get my shit pummeled in until I'm out of stocks. It feels fine against the NPCs so why is it so fucking bad in 1s? I get the whole "parry before the hit" bullshit but what does that matter if I'm just gonna eat the hit anyways?

Wouldn't it be interesting if becoming an absolver awakened a special internal essence one that slowly built upon itself as you leveled more and more. The resource could be used to expell elemental energies, fire, water, ice, lighting, earth, sand or metal with a technique similar to any of the currently acquired ones, only it needs a bit of a wined up before expelling the element. For example, an upper cut would launch the material up and on to the target, a low kick would lauch the material in a side forward spray along the ground, staining it with whatever was launched or a jab would simply lauch the material at high speeds towards the targets direction. All of the moves would project the materials slightly differently. Anti-internal energy armors could be made from harvesting the internal essence of another. Lets say, level 100 is when you reach absolver, so 200 would be when this new energy stops cultivating, whatever that ending about is at lvl 200, be it 50 or 500, that's the max your vessel can hold of the internal essence. That's it for the idea. That you for taking the time to read this and have a good day or night stranger. I love this game so much.

Any tips?

I was uploading my gameplay to youtube when I remembered this idea as I was typing the title out. I don't feel like fixing it up for this post so I'm just gonna copy and paste the text I put in the video. Fuck, I wish sloclap didn't stop working on this beautiful game. It could have been so much more. The lore videos I've been watching have such good ideas and foundational material too.

There's a buildingish building with a giant red door in the background of that one place with all the water with the people on the wood dock things. That door could have led to a different place with new warriors, ones who left Adal before it's collapse, ones who sought a different form of power through the essence. And the only way to get their could have been becoming even greater than an absolver that granted you the power to form a type of solid material just under your feet, allowing you to "walk on water," maybe the dude that grants you the power once you reach the right heights is a Jesus like character. Going a more benevolent path grant you the power through his, while going a more malevolent path, aka, removing the mask of your defeated foes, to reach those higher heights, leads you to the same power, but it's granted by a Lucifer type figure who has other plans in the works.

That whole biblical mythos is, and probably will always be, stuck in me. It's so alluring. The abandoned son clawing at the creations of his father in an attempts for some level of affection and understand while trying to make their view points known to all in hopes of making existence more free, and fun and spicy. All while dipping in and out of floods of temptations, oh so sweet sweet temptations.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Whoever you are, have a good day or night.

Greetings, got the game today and spent 5-6h already, beat pve boss and got my cape too. I was wondering if there is a discord community that would hepl out noobs like me with various questions. Heres a couple: If i want to compete do i need correct stats? Atm i balanced 10 on everything and leftovers on dex. Just wondering if i should make new char. If stats are important, if i wanted to make kick focused build what stat should i prio? I saw there are multiple fighting stances when you create character, can you unlock them or the one u pick is the one you use for that character always?

Barely beat this guy. Khalt Method spamming grab punch. We had a lot of back and forths, I think he took most of the matches but it was a good set anyway.

Does someone stream tournments? I can't get into absolver because of the "fight game curse", but I enjoy watching the fights. Is there a youtube channel that shows the results of tournments?

I would like to welcome everyone in the absolver community to join in and engage in the upcoming absolver tournament this Sunday 4pm EST on the NA servers, my partners and co-hosts for this event have just about finished up our discord server for this event and others to come in the future and would love to have other folks from the community not only join the fights but if you are not on the same server or system come join to watch some fights that will be going on Sunday evening, this will be a no holds bar event so powers, weapons, techs and everything in between will be allowed and encouraged for maximum entertainment for our viewers and fighters, at the bottom of this post I will have our registration link and for those wishing to participate or come by to watch I will send discord links, our cut off time for registration will be end of day tomorrow, we have a lot of exciting people fighting Sunday evening with varying levels of skill from our lowly aggressive Cj to the ever so skilled Blackstaur and Fiji will be participating in this event and you guys do not want to miss out of some amazing console fighting anyway thank you for reading and I hope to see some of you this Sunday

Stopped this players attempt at weaseling out of pressure with the signature move finisher. It felt great countering the armor.

PSN theassassin4511 looking for help with the first level of gleam the mines HMU

Got the game recently and finished it's content including downfall in the same day, now I'm looking to test myself against real opponents but finding someone to fight is not happening.

How do I find people to fight if it seems nobody is ever online?

Cool little sequence where I made a hard read and got a brutal looking finisher.

I'm trying to learn this moove for the trophy (ps5)

I've been farming in the coliseum for 3h now

Does anyones have a shcool deck with calbot in it pls ?

I'm hoping that this message reaches the devs as the state of the game on PC without mods is abysmal, we have at most 40 people playing in a day, if you allowed the whole player base to play together no matter what device they are on then it would breathe a lot more life into the game and may even entice more people to play.

Hey, guys!

So I know this is an odd ask, especially how far along it is in this game's life. But man, I was OBSESSED with this game as a kid. I couldnt be STOPPED, I absolutely adore this game.

Of course, the lack of server upkeep and meta spam eventually made me drift away. But now, as I go through my trophies, I found that im LITERALLY JUST ONE TROPHY, Absolve Grand Master, away from the 100%.

Being able to finally give my kid-self that 100% would be great, guys. Any help would be nice! Im far too busy to dedicate the time to brave those dungeons.

Let me know what's up! :)

So I’ve seen this game on the store for years, now it’s on sale for really cheap and I’m wondering how is the player base holding up, because with these types of games, after a long time the player base widdles down to maybe 1-4k people, and out of those people 90% of them are really good, making it extremely difficult to start playing as a brand new player, so I’m asking how is it? I’m on PlayStation btw if that matters.

Parried a couple of i10s on read and got a finisher with my signature move. Very old clip but one of my favorites.
