jokes are okay, but whites made 0 sense in this context. just weird this time
Don’t apologize to me lol just be ready for a ban because mods are strict on stupid shit like that and will definitely be seeing it
bru im trna play the playtest 😭
They got him lol
I saw him get banned in 1080x2400p 60fps
i joined to ask that too, why does demo gets to have gore but not playtest
why does my game only consist of being in the pitch black?
Your pfp is the perfect answer to your question
so playtest came before demo?
Request the playtest to be in a cool arena with real combat physics
Demo first
Itchio came first, then demo, then playtest
i did im js waiting for acception 🙂
I have clicked the button on steam, do I need to do anything else?
Demo gore would not work in playtest, they are working on a better version
Nah just wait
You'll get accepted in maximum a day
oh that's a weird situation
oh cool thanks
That's NOT the situation lol
Fight
Hes a loser!!1
Mcwonder what does the community manager know about half sword
He’s only the community manager
For half sword
also gore and blood 2.0 is not finished
Haha no but fr it’s a mix of both
Demos gore doesn’t work for playtest, and they were too late for the booth
what was it
a joke about c and p
but c and p are together in one word
I know that the old gore isn't compatible with the new physics, the new gore ISNT done, the devs are getting a public booth so more people can see it, the devs WONT be getting a private booth this year because it costs more money and less people would see the game
And according to mcwonder cause I did see him say it, they were too late or something applying
It’s a mix of all that
Let’s all love each other
Sounds like a slight skill issue
It literally is
this server is full of talented people, im gotta start posting my stuff too
Bad timing. Skill issue. Work on nailing the timing next time

im mastering the art of using half grip great sword tip to stab armpits mid combat
“Do it”
very satisfying when it works first try
Brutal lmao
yea it went all the way through the other side of the head
Really like it though. Almost on par with this one
Despite my pictures mainly being sexual or loving Willie, I do have some real cool ones saved from y’all
have you also headlocked someone with a sword and and used the sides of it to slice their nape
i did it twice
Get a picture next time for me
to get the headlock you first make them fall, and then you half grip your sword and raise your arm
they will get up under your grasp
please stop tagging me for non-issues.
im playing rn i'll try to get it done
uhhh
alright i guess
i dont think it broke his leg

i want grenades in this game fr
all those bulky and rich folks, they dont know how the real life works
nearly there
all in their shiny armor
cant milk a cow, cant harvest wheat and cant shovel shit
those rich folks are nothing but talk
they aint tough
they need protection because theyre scared of getting hurt
if im being honest, if you are able to fight someone who's entirely made of armor and can still kill them, you are tougher than anything
ah, steel meeting steel, thats nothing compared to wood meeting skull
like this
he cant swing no more
this pov makes it look like i stabbed him through the chest but i stabbed his left armpit
it just slided to his chest
lmao
DAMN I JUST GAVE A CLEAN ASS COMBO
LEG; CHEST THEN HEAD
hella smooth cuts
cant wait for gore in playtest

its like $89 sometimes you can get it on sale on newegg for like $50 its a budget GOAT but you should upgrade big guy
ofc its a buget goat its a fucking i3
but idk how much of a "buget" it is when he'll have to change his motherboard and ram to use that cpu
the i1-9 barely means anything the 12100f outperforms the i9-9900k
i was talking ultra budget
but yeah the 5600x is good too you can snag it with an included cooler most of the time
he'd still have to change his motherboard and maybe his ram too
w a 2600?
if you want him to buy that intel CPU yeah then he'd need to change his motherboard
right intel and amd
mbmb i havent had an AMD cpu in a while
a 2600 is crazy though brother you have to upgrade that jawn
those AM5 cpu's look sexy with all the cutouts
too bad you wont be able to see the cutouts after you buy a ginormous cooler to cool the bastards
literally bought a bequiet dark rock pro 5 and theres like 3cm left betwen it and the case glass
oh we can stab hands
@devout hinge #general-catfish-🐱🐟
dude i LOVE STABBING THE UNPROTECTED JOINTS
I PUNCHED HIS HELMET AND AND STABBED HIM
Update when
what weapon is this
also i struct a opponont twice ajsut after the y called me a coward
bro the metal gloves in spoilance are fuckin goated i feel like mike tyson
i think i broke his neck, the fight lasted like 5 seconds
What was the ETA for gore have they said
sometime after the tokyo gameshow
Oh nice, end of september?
if they happen to finish the gore by then then probably yeah
but i guess sometime in october
I don't mind the gore, the unarmed combat and grappling would be awesome in the demo
Best weapon is easily the heavily spiked long range weapon in the 4th class above farmer, its heavy enough to break the neck or knock them unconscious. If you get a body shot, usually it will break the arm/leg, and it’ll penetrate deeply enough to be fatal
- it can deal good damage thru armor in the mini battle
yea but i like doing this
before this match i half gripped the sword and swinged from the left to the right and it immediately went through their neck
just like this, i stabbed him in the neck in the beginning of the match and now he's agonizing
meanwhile i’m the one getting stabbed in the neck
i suck so bad at this game it’s so unfunny
i've developt my own techniques
what do you do? i’m still learning how it all works so far
I love this game!!!
Love the fist fights
Is it just going to be arena style game or will there be dungeons?
when you push them to the ground you can just grab their leg and then pick your short weapon and bash them to death cuz they wont be able to get up
When youre down you can grab legs and swap positions sometimes
word, i’ll definitely try that right now and i’ll come back with success or dead cause i suck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTXVxAmO_Ro
Blow this shit up fam.
swords in this game are one dimensional and boring, learn to rip ass with a polehammer instead.
Like and subscribe and all at
still agonizing
yea i stabbed him in the neck
he couldnt, the match started and he got the neck stabbed immediately
yea it's why i dont use sallet
how do the fist fights work? what’s the key to winning those?
sallet leaves you neck insanely unprotected, everytime i go against someone with a sallet i just stab them in the neck, they agonize all the way
im either too good or too lucky, he came at me and got the armpit stabbed instantly lol
one of my favorite parts of the game
everyone fights differently
and there you have it again
I'll say it rn, playing greatsword again feels so simple. I've molded myself into a giga chad polehammer user
and now he's agonizing again
Will the game be paid?
Obviously
and will have multiplayer?
anyone got me any tips on using alt to assist sword strikes?
Hopefully not
i can barely do the overhead half the time and not sure how else to use it
xD?
I can only do side hits lol

#photography📷 be like:
idk how he isnt gagging
give me your lunch money nerd
Gagging is a response to something triggering your reflexes, a sword through the throat would probably have you dying from massive hemorrhaging
i need help on grappling chat
i said gagging cuz i didnt felt like saying ''choking with his blood''
check the grappler's guild in game footage
There’s nothing to choke on, his trachea is breached😂
ye idfk how human anatomy works, but i've stabbend them through their nape as well and they gagged
and in reality they should've died instantly from their spine getting sliced through
I mean, their spine probably would be glanced, unless you decapitated them
gurgling would the the noise from getting your throat cut
Yeah, honestly don’t.
Gurgling assumes they’re still trying to breathe
yea he was doing that with this strike
Bigfanofyourvideos
Cheers!
Always get them on my recommended😂
i dont think you are supposed to be choking with blood when your brain+spine is getting violated
The only real reason to use alt for a sword strike is probably if you're too far from the opponent and end up trying to do a stabbing move during your swing
Even then it's probably better to just double click
You do a great job showcasing how complex and fast the techniques can be with a physics based engine
every time you kill willie youll hear it so

Ik
There are a lot of noises our body makes when breathing is labored or compromised, hopefully they add more to increase the immersion
You can get some weird/cheeky strikes, but usually put you in a pretty bad position as far as your hands are concerned.
Appreciate it! I just swing wildly 😉
cant find it
It's also pretty bad considering you have to draw away with your sword before you can really thrust (I guess it does depend on how fast you can pull back and thrust your mouse forward)
But it does also leave either one of your sides completely open, meaning you could get struck quite easily if you're not careful
Gonna be honest trying to stab is pretty bad anyway and it's only really successful if you're A) Lucky, or B) Lack of armour
maybe it's just a skill issue though 🤷
I don’t think the stab is bad. It’s a timing issue for most people.
good way of keeping distance when you need a breather
I think I've worded it wrong tbh-
Your guard does the same thing.
The stab isnt bad, especially if you're skilled enough to time it perfectly and get a good hit in around the lower chest
But most of the time it's quite hard to find a good point to use it in combat
youll most likely be using it with weapons that require, one way or another, stabs to work

Whilst working on a project I needed the sound effect of the GBP Skull in action and I couldn't find a good one so I ended up capturing it myself. So if you need it as well. Here's the one I was happy with.
The children cheering sound is from a sound effect library created in the 1970s. Which is why you can hear versions of the GBP skull across...

news on when to expect next updates?
:fear:
oh dang
will it be periodic or will devs like, wait for a huge amount of content before release?
halo really did do that
Pretty sure it’s bug fixes until the next version
up to the devs, no one knows. most people estimate that the playtest will get its gore after the japan gameshow ends
The only time it was content updates was pre abyss
playtest gore update soon 🗣️
ok ty guys, I wasnt even like missing the gore or anything, jsut curious if devs plan to create a full game out of this
Next update will probably be gore and fixes then not a whole lot until release. If I had to guess.
Gore is massive wdym
full game will definitely come one way or another lol
I presume it's mainly just going to be about gore and jank fixing but I'm not sure if they're going to use the new system after the Japan thing
its been in the works since 2019
It adds so much more to the combat, targeting arteries, and vital organs
Wdym wdym
Idkwim
lol
isnt it just cosmetic?
Probably but the older version still make it so that bones could break
And muscles
You can still break bones
what is cosmetic?
So if you hit someone’s arm it goes limp, so there is still merit to that
visual only/no impact on the game
Willie underwear collection pack
i won by stabbing a knee
i dont think it's just visual
Polearm users when their left arm gets disabled 
if you stab both arm pits they surrender
aint just visual of course, bone breaking has its uses
weird that this was removed along with visual gore. One could exist without the other
maybe the limb snapping already was too much for the censor standards
Reminder
i often get my arms damaged enough so i cant lift any weapons up
nay, still in the playtest
Yea I’m sure it’ll get a lot better, the gfx artists seem to be putting in a lot of work
Aka Dexter
ngl I kinda like not having any gore in playtest idk why
it feels.. clean??
maybe I'm just really used to it
Goes against the idea of stabbing someone in the throat
fr though
If I’m a naked Willie stabbing a man to death with a meat cleaver, clean isn’t what I’m looking for😂
gore is purely visual drugs (demo at least with the amount of blood), tells you what you did
hold on speaking of stabbing people in the throat
I know the fighting isnt very clean (got a bit annoyed because of the shield) but I'm still kinda proud I pulled off that under-helmet stab

First time I've seen helmets be removed in the playtest since the update how tho
I’m on my phone
Your phone has a GPU
I'm not even sure how to respond to that
it doesn’t do that for any other videos either
im on my phone
there’s an app. For discord.
on my phone
I always forget there's an app I just use the browser
bro
Anyways is that updated?
i just did a judo throw or some shit
still does it
Your phone must be cursed then
it doesn’t do it for any other video either
android or apple
Android 9
probably why it doesn’t do the same thing
but yeah idfk why it’s doing that
Weird lmao
how tf you make the shadows look so crisp?
mine always look fuzzy like if its got fsr on performance mode
What graphics setting do you play on?
high
Might be part of the issue idk
damn does it use fsr without any choice?
no
then damn its some shit id expect from low settings not the thing thats right below ultra

how do i get out of the black void room?
that's a demo buddy
is there a way to get out tho?
nope
then how do people play it like this?
that's playtest
damn you gave up easily
he wasn't gonna be able to get up anyway
i get up by grabbing their weapon as soon as it lands on me
just like i did here
might've worked, might've not, seeing how he had two other enemies closing in on him in the background
when he lifted his hands he just had to press Q when they striked again
happened once with me that they threw me to the ground, tried to hit me and grabbed their feet, they fell down, i climbed on top of them and stabbed them in the arm pit with a dagger and won
Pretty sure every time you get bonked it stops the getting up attempt too and he was getting bonked a bunch
A few cuts too it sounded like
guys dont get fried and play halfsword im sobbing cause willie begged me for mercy
But I'm always fried
why do i do this to him
Because he'd do it to you
does anyone know if the kicking feature that was showcased will be added to playtest or will that be saved for the actual game when it comes out?
Unless we get an update between now and the Tokyo Game Show it'll probably be added alongside gore and other features in the next major update, but nothing concrete yet.
when you are bonked it only stops your attempt to get up, your arms and hands are still operational, and if they get close enough you can grab them regardless
Could have been bonked hard enough that his arms went all noodly too
ah i see, that would make sense, ill wait until then
his hands are moving in the clip
if the bonk was hard he would've fell cold, but the character fought to stand up
Bonk
Yeah probably did give up too quickly, I just always assume the swords will somehow find their way into my armpit
Same lol
Same reason I avoid doing overheads
I wonder if they fixed the barbute first person vision bug
The one that looks closer to a greek helmet is literally just a metal texture wall. No vision slits at all.
Yeah that's the one I was thinking of lol
That particular Barbute is basically impossible to use in first person regardless of skill
Yeah
What's the most obstructive helmet that you are comfortable with using in first person
This one where it only covers a bit of the bottom
Can you record yourself doing one fight with the armlet regardless of if you win or lose
I'll be honest I don't know helmet names which one's that?
how do i join the playtest?
@fast bramble this type
Sure I'll try
Go to steam and click the request access button
It's probably one of the worse, if not the worse
i have clicked it
Wait for them to accept it.
but is the demo playable?
Playtest and demo are considered separate in your library
You can have both
i mean but they can be played?
yes
You are referring to the demo and not the playtest right?
I said they are considered separate. Installing the playtest will not affect the demo.
Damn
Make a montage with that helmet lmao
Lmao
are my enemies on demo AI? or players aswell
The game is entirely PvE. No online.
Closest possible thing might be split screen but that's a might.
I'll give you one more since it's honestly a bit nauseating playing in it and I don't even get motion sick
They might look into online into the future but that is a big might. The physics would be kinda shitty for online
i dont think you should have that little clearance.. im using the same helmet
Are you?
Let us see the helmet model
his vs mine
That's a sallet
they look pretty damn similar
*hers but that's a slightly different one
ah sorry i didnt check
He is using this
It's very different looking
not to me i guess lol
i know close to nothing about proper HEMA or sword fencing techniques so most of my sword gameplay is just me flailing like a moron and getting a lucky slice across someone's throat
tbf they do have pretty similar clearance in the eyes to me but that could just be the deprivation talking
you're talking about the helmet im using in the clip?
this fucking bastard managed to save himself from a throat cut by just cuddling the cross-guard
I think the one in your screenshot is this one
I was referring to this helmet
That's was he was using
this helmet has the worst pov of the game
They were asking about this one
Oh
Nah, the Barbute is worse atm
I really really wish that exiting out of the album didnt throw you RIGHT back into the game, i just lost a good picture because of it 😔
Is that this one?
Nope, remember the 4th boss in the demo? It's his helmet.
how to play 1vs1
Ohhhh ok I'll look
i got a clip of it, so at least i sorta have the picture, just not the best quality+with hud
The one in the screenshot works in first person
not fully lost, just a bit upsetting
Request access to the playtest in steam and wair
all visored helmets have bad povs
they just dont properly depict what its actually like to wear a visor
This one is fine actually
itll most definitely be fixed
Yep
the pov looks like what
wait you guys play in first person. lmao.
I tried a few times
@fast bramble seems to main it
Watch First Person In Helmet and millions of other Half Sword videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
That was luck
what
is that you looking into the reflection under the helm?
I still think it's luck
I hate how my character just DOES NOT GRAB when it's actually convenient for him to do so, but the second that the grab will get him killed or injured to the point I have to make him back up he has no hesitation about locking his hand around the opponent 🙃
why would our pov be above our eyes
Are you actually doing calculated moves? I guess if you play enough, you can anticipate what is about to happen and have a non-zero chance to react correctly even if blind
Third time's the charm
Somewhat calculated somewhat guessing, I've got a good idea when he's going to come to me and I know how to swing from left to right
Do you prefer this over the armlet
Honestly a bit
Lmao
But both are horrible
Atleast you don't get sick ig
It looks like it would be one of the best helmets for vision but it's one of the worse
Yeah lmao
You should make a baller montage using that
Lmao maybe
baseball bat when:
hahahahahahaahahhahahahaahhHahahahhahhahaa
Only way to fix it really would be to have the camera slightly ahead of the face, replace the model with one that doesn't have that part in first person, or replace the eyeballs with cameras and create a stereo image to nauseate the hell out of everyone
Be honest, are you using any visual cues or was it mostly just muscle memory
There's definitely no visual cues with that thing on
Lol
Unless they glitch through it
Once he's not in front of you you're basically lost
Unless he's heavy breathing
You need to end it right away and hope he doesn't go to the side immediately ig
Pretty much yeah
Or flail and hope something sticks
And if you get knocked over hoo boy
At least the armet lets you see where to go to get up
Going back to this yes I main first person
tried it and it's just. way too shaky for me even unhelmeted lol. very limiting in terms of what you can see obviously. but i can see how some can find a more enjoyable challenge in that
Probably not supposed to but it does happen
he's narcoleptic
That's totally fair lol, I actually like how shaky it is but can totally see why it'd be too much for people.
Third person can be fun but it feels more exciting to me in first, it's like a bootleg VR
i can not see a thing in first person#
Show pic
no like i think its normal but i dont play in first person bc once your on the floor you have no clue whats going on
Like when you're knocked down?
yea
So you can see fine when you're up
yea its a bit hard but still
Screenshot pls just so I know it's normal
anything on your head affects the vision
if you have a model with a pointed hat on like that then yeah it'll affect you ingame, you can just click through the models until you find one with a smaller hat/folded brim or smt
There is like one or two helmets that give perfect vision atm
oh dang
Who’s up halfing their sword?
@fast bramble you know what they are right?
i just dont like first person bc when your hit your all over the place so you cant see
Yeah it's very different and unplayable with certain helmets
ive just got full control of this guy's arm rn
Watch First Person In Helmet and millions of other Half Sword videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
they look like theyre ready to go in for a smooch
they are
I have done first person in helmets a few times and did manage to get some clips from it
So I just realised that this guy can not turn around while im holding him, so I'm just letting the shovel dude deal with him rn
The only thing I like about first person is that it's a bit easier to tell the distance
These hats and helmets don't obstruct your vision at all in first person
These two cover a very tiny sliver at the top of your screen
This is the only viable first person helmet in the top tier
protection sucks tho
The rest of the hats and helmets cover varying amounts of the screen ranging from mild annoyance to blindfold
Just don't get hit in the head
Yeah you didn't get hit in the head
You know what's funny
all the sallets have that faulty design of leaving your neck open
The Armlet probably has the best all around protection in the game
However, the gap between the cuirass and helmet is only protected by mail and it is possible for that be penned for a throat shot.
I would know because I took that once from a longsword thrust.
Ironically a sallet and bevor would have probably stopped that
that was only an example of a clip, but i land those stabs to the neck nearly all the time
So is the demo just the tutorial?
It also helps that the enemies don't wear Armlets so you don't ever really get to test how good it is to player strikes
Besides spoilance
Wow I just went looking through all the helmets and the armet is the only one without a bevor
The demo is its own thing, every time you start the game it displays the controls up top but you're actually playing the game
Yeah I got stabbed there once lmao
But I bleed out slow enough to escape the and save my character
If you're stuck in a loop of holding G to give up btw just don't, you don't actually need to press the buttons it's displaying
Just play the game
Keep running and killing, you will run into more geared enemies and bosses
Every kill or incapacitation gives you pointd
Okay so what I'm gathering the demo is just that dark room
Yeah it's the abyss, waves of enemies, 6 bosses
dawg saw his life flash before his eyes
Pretty much a rogue like
Each round of enemies gets progressively harder until everyone's in full plate
Neat its kinda like a rogue lite
if they stab you in the neck multiple times, it will be enough to cut through, once i was laying on the ground and they targeted my neck so much that it went through
After the third boss, that is when armor starts spawning more commonly
The playtest is the arena
So I'm assuming the duels and such are reserved for playtest version
Yeah
I got one shotted, it wasn't gradual for me lmao
How would one get into the playtest? The game is right up my alley
In the playtest there's two 1v1s (one you spawn in with weapons, one you fight over weapons in the middle of the arena), 1v4s, 3v3s, and 1v1 fist fights
There was one other time I got one shotted through the armlet and I'm pretty sure it went through my eye slit
Request access on the Steam store page
oh lmao, guess it glitched out and it didnt detect the chain maille then
You'll be accepted within a few hours
Thats fucking dope
Over 400k people accepted so far!
Is chain mail intended to stop stuff consistently? I slashed through it plenty of timed
They accept everyone that requests
I mean irl ofc
yea, it stops alot of slices and stabs
I was playing the itch io version for a while but the wonky combat made me look into it more, having seen more advanced gameplay versus what I was playing
ah, irl it sucks against stabbing
I would like a chain mail shirt
Yeah, the itch.io build has its place as sort of a museum piece, but it's advanced a ton since then
The playtest is more advanced than the demo, too
I know, but I got plenty of throat slashes through mail
Just from the demo I can tell
No gore atm, but it's being totally reworked into something never before seen in gaming
Hopefully they adjust it
Full fluid sim for the blood
you could be using a full suit of chain mail, if a knight went with all their might with a impaling attack to your stomach, it would 100% penetrate the chain mail
i hate the armour your there for 20 minutes smashing the head trying to get through the armour
There's a lot of clipping that needs to be fixed still, I've stabbed and slashed through plate
Not just the gaps
Idk, bullet trail vr has some advanced gore
Any joint really
yea sometimes it doesnt detect the chain mail and it just goes through, when it detects it looks like you are hitting on a invisible wall
Imo my guess is that sometimes your skin clips the armor.
And sometimes when you get your flesh cut, the weapon might just go straight through the armor directly connected to it (you can see this helmets or hits to the shoulder going through a breastplate).
Combine those two and voila
yea clipping is a major issue
But it's much better than the demo
That's a fair point, but would you still like to see some of the WIP stuff for Half Sword?
i think theyre making it as real as possible im exited for it
The bevor is somewhat reliable assuming you don't cut around it
Yeah of course
The demo bevor was shit
i love how if an npc is stabbed in the neck they have a full on scene of slowly dying
What's the scariest weapon to fight for you guys so far?
Or whatever you die to most often.
are they adding like facial expressions bc your stabbing someone surely they'll be in pain
Maybe. Personally I don't mind Willie's deadpan look (it's kinda funny) but if they change it, that's fine too
that bloody knife
For me it's probably that battle axe
the ones with the knife just randomly are like the best ever, i get a good stab through their chest and then i just get butchered
I have a way to counter it but it's spooky
Definitely the bullshit goedendag
I forgot about that spikey boi
I swear they put a spinning speed buff on its wielder, I notice the moment a willie manages to get their goedendag spikes on me they'll start spinning around me like a damn alligator
Yeah that's probably more of a pain in the ass relative to tier
pitchfork and that spikey thing are just easiest to win with
What
polearm with axe and a pike
Oh the axe
Oh nvm
You mean a poleaxe?
Colouration isn't final, it's currently brighter and in some cases bluer than it will be in the final product for dev purposes. There's additional stuff over in the wip channel starting here, too: #work-in-progress message
all them look mental
Yeah im pretty sure thats a poleaxe
also called acha
I don't find later game polearms too threatening. Swords still remaining troublesome to me
No such thing as men here, only willies
What's that Willie in the back doing
Doctor noticed willie was broke mid surgery and just left his ass hanging there
Half Sword Devs try not to cook challenge (failed literally immediately)
just sayin that it will be weird asf if we swing a hammer to their head and it explodes in gore, that wouldn't happen even with a sledge hammer irl
I'm fine with some exaggeration
Ye they'll probably reconsider adding that, but it depends on what the community wants
If they like doom level gore they'll probably keep that shit on
Probably harder to do something more deformed
mordhau already does just that, i want something different
Blood trail type stuff
I remember watching a video of someone throwing a barrel at someone in blood trail
gore can be very viceral as much as they want, it just gotta keep realistic, it aint normal to swing a mace to someone's head and it explodes
The latest WIP post seems to show some wound deformation but it looks real rough still
What can they use the exploding head for then
Cannons?
heads arent supposed to explode
I'm not familiar with irl gore
they started exploding only when gunpowder was discovered
So cannons it is
There was some talk of handgonnes
Yeah there'll be guns at some point later down the road
Or whatever it's spelled
unfortunately for me i've been scarred
Bro watched liveleak
Tell me what would be some realistic damage to show a mace doing to a helmeted and unhelmeted head
he exploded his own head with a shotgun
Probably earlier than that
Oh yeah i saw that vid, pretty surreal honestly
Just a barrel on a stick
his mom found his body in the same video, it's fucking scary
Shittttt
Game takes place in the late 1400s, arquebus started getting use in the 15th century
Probably best not to talk about this video, please
Oh
It's very upsetting to a lot of people
I want Sapo to tell me what the mace to head head gore should look like instead
I am morbidly curious now
Only way to know is probably just looking at some blunt damage experiments video on those silicone dummies
Text is good enough
Oh right armor damage is a thing in the future
I wonder how that will be done
Cant wait to bonk
Also i feel like longswords shouldnt do this much level of blunt damage honestly
It's so easy to bonk with longswords right now
mfw pommel strike :D
okay pommel strikes are fair lmao but the blunt damage when using the blade feels pretty cheesy 💀
Is greatsword bonk justified
Honestly as long as the head exploding isn't like it is in the demo where just tapping it the right way with something blunt causes it to pop like a balloon under a lot of pressure I'll be happy with it
Uhhh cant say honestly, probably still a bit too much though
Yeah the demo was a gory mess
I would really like some armpit mail
dude I love a good pommel strike using half-swording.
Hell yeah dude i had some satisfying ones on the higher tiers
earlier I was in full armor duels, and I leg sweeped a guy with my greatsword. it was badass.
niceee its been a while since i did that
Also like when you kinda choke them with your blade.
Like a headlock
Tru tru but it can be glitchy at times since i find that swords explode around the enemy when i try to get on the halfsword stance and they're in the way
Call me a pussy but I feel bad killing them when they plead :(
stabbed a guy right in the underarm gap with my poleaxe, dropped it, pulled out my sword, but before I could keep striking the dude flew off into the sunset
hey i just got half sword it putted me in a black room but i sawed people pvping in others areas how do i get that mode?
Awesome English
thats the demo, the version you want is the playtest
Yea
request it on steam
Alright lemme see
and patience is the key
W and which 1 I need the demo 1 or the just half sword
I got both
Oh yea nvm I got it
Thanks bro
So two things:
- I just discovered the song used in the Half Sword video was done by the same guy in your video despite you saying it way back then
- I'm gonna try it right now

Rate the gore pls 🙏
The guy who made that set up the dummy to look like and action figure he has one on his neck too
Ohh
Probably some collider under the hood as well
Looks like there's one on his wrist too
Man's got some moves
i keep winning
does anyone think a trainer mod will be made for the playtest like there was one for the demo?
The dev tried making one for the playtest and determined with the way the game is right now (newer engine version, some things are encrypted, doesn't work with ue4ss, etc.) it's not possible, but might try again once the next major update is out
I see, thanks for the info
PEAK
i have found grappling is a very good counter for the sword bearhug
how the hell to grappling in this game
pls tell
turn body density all the way down to be able to lift them easier
q and e to grab
alr
use your mouse to position your hands where you want to grab them
and id recommend trying it on the lowest class with both player damage and ai damage to 0
so you can get the hang of grappling
yo guys , what friendly blood means?
anyone help me why i cant click at the exact spot
what is your resolution?
bcs i think its bcs of resolution that u choose in display options
k
wait
it back to normal again
Bane moment
"I have broken the Bat." ahh pose
how ya pick them up like that
Half Sword Jujutsu
lol
how are you guys performing mma moves in half sword
epic armbar right there
yeah I can't comprehend it aswel
u can do in in fist fights
holy wwe move
lol
u can grab ur enemy like weapon
holy cow
q + e
how u do that
that is wild bro
my brother in christ when i press q + e i simply grab the opponent, when @copper moon does it it looks like he's about to batista bomb the nuts off of the poor guy he's fighting
the treacherous bearhug locked in
batman to the average crook:
I just changed the body density in the settings to the lowest to do this
i changed mine and its still very heavy
hmmm
dang why i cant do it like ya
k
No one has asked for multiplayer yet

the bot is locking my leg
i cant pick em 1 inch from the ground
like how
I grab at a specific angle of their hips, like the side of it
yeehawa
