that’s quite clearly a brain

[livid ivy]

he ate his rocks, made his brain hard

[plush tendon]

its quite clearly not

[abstract geyser]

it was just funny, normally ill spam left click and it comes out pretty quickly

[livid ivy]

rocks are an important part of a growing serf boy's diet, its common knowledge

[abstract geyser]

this to

[tacit basin]

damn

[plush tendon]

very gooey

[tacit basin]

i had a scythe as well

but the game was bugged and flunged it away

welp

never feel bad for them.... they totally deserve it

[plush tendon]

its just.. goo

[abstract geyser]

that's just his dinner coming back up that didn't agree with his stomach

[plush tendon]

very soft

look at it jiggle xD

freaky shite

[abstract geyser]

anyone capture some cool disarms they done?

[tough yew]

hmm

[plush tendon]

hmm.. still think its soft enough that any blow that opens the skull would completely demolish it (not to mention a blow that managed to sever all the connections to have it fall out)

[abstract geyser]

those sparks made it so much more epic lol

[plush tendon]

very informative, thank you

[abstract geyser]

this is probably my best disarm i've captured

shouldve just let vid roll at the end, would have waited for the blade to come back down and pierce him.

[vale fog]

did this yesterday, idk how much it took but probably couple of hours

[lavish kite]

Hello, how do I enter the play with a friend mode if we have a beta version?

[crimson prawn]

Do you have access to playtest?

[lavish kite]

no

How do I get it and if approved, after what period of time?

[crimson prawn]

I know you have to wait to get it

[lavish kite]

How long to wait?

I used the power of my mind to disarm him by throwing him 4 feet into air

[wary niche]

I don't have a clip of it but last night I actually ended up using my longsword to essentially shove the guys sword aside and smack it out of his hand

[wary niche]

I'll have to try and get some disarm footage tonight after campaign

[worn heron]

throwing weapons is always approved by me as well

the soup kitchen staff be like

(it's Willie he works at the soup kitchen)

[tender quest]

Almost got his neck

[wary niche]

So close

[signal wedge]

Do you like dark souls

[tender quest]

have a very clean pommel strike to make up for it :C

[fleet stump]

Will you guys be happy if we add Gore 2.0 to the playtest?

[signal wedge]

Duh

[fleet stump]

we must convince frenk we deserves it

[wary niche]

Those are always nice. I'll be halfswording, have their arm held, and suddenly the glitch fighting kicks in and I snap their neck with my pommel

[worn heron]

why must you torture our player base like this

evil eeeevil

[wary niche]

Well there's Half Swording, which can provide a devastating pommel strike, and then there's a downwards strike like what Militus showed

[tender quest]

it seems to happen when your up close with them, so the auto parry tends to get a bit fucky and your able to make these very tight moves and thats the result

[worn heron]

obvs but I like blue lizards more

[tender quest]

so the autoparry is trying to keep you facing one side as you're turning and the arms move in a tighter space

[wary niche]

Again, if you have a sword, just start halfswording and clock their temple hard af

[tender quest]

plus hitting the shield the way i did made the sword flick round to where i wanted it

[tender quest]

that is a viable way of doing it

[wary niche]

I do enjoy abusing shield bounce attacks

[wary niche]

It's the main way that I do pommel strikes. You can really knock em silly

[tender quest]

is water wet?

[wary niche]

I've busted a dudes helmet that way a couple times

Agreed. It is cooler. However, harder to execute

[tough yew]

so ready for it

[tender quest]

PLUS PLUS, you need a have the heavier variant of the greatsword

[wary niche]

proceeds to try it on a glitch fight abusing pole axe Willie FUCK

[tender quest]

sneaky fuck at 13 seconds

[ancient canyon]

Fav Emote

[worn heron]

solid left hook 💪

[ancient canyon]

nam sayn

[worn heron]

What did I miss at 13 seconds

It looks like you just walked towards him at that moment

I'm def not paying attention to the right thing there

[ancient canyon]

is because homie got back up and sneak attacked his head

[tender quest]

sorry meant 15 seconds right after i conked him on the head he jumps up

[worn heron]

Ohh you meant like whole bit right after mbmb, I was looking like right at that exact moment lol

My ass kept rewinding like

[tender quest]

he was pretending to be weakened

[worn heron]

"nice footwork yes hmm"

[humble lotus]

lol i jsut got fatly crashed

[worn heron]

playtest?

[humble lotus]

no

the demo

[worn heron]

ah, well, that's a common bug then, there's not much you can do about it. Were you running on cinematic graphics?

[humble lotus]

no idea

proly cus the gore is wild

[livid ivy]

I dunno if this was an AI glitch or what but its funny

[humble lotus]

i think its cus of gore and it too much for the game to handle

[livid ivy]

this is the most likely answer

[sturdy crystal]

people think thrusting in this game sucks???

[humble lotus]

typicaly yes

[worn heron]

Gore 2.0 is much higher in quality and runs just fine on our devs testing rigs so far

[humble lotus]

oh ill see if i can change it

[tender quest]

argh me leg

[glad flint]

i hate shields rarrghghh

shields suck fr

[worn heron]

It may be due to the blood if you have a small amount of ram, but they will be optimizing a lot of it, and the quality and dynamics will be increasing tenfold.

If you are in cinematic graphics, I recommend dropping to epic

[glad flint]

me using them

[sturdy crystal]

which shield?

[glad flint]

i like the challenge fighting willies with shields

[worn heron]

Shield bash better sir

[glad flint]

the hand shield is fun

[stark dome]

yes

[glad flint]

but i'd rather no-shield it

[trail pivot]

i fight till i die

[glad flint]

i hate using shields

[worn heron]

Use it like youre punching with it, then hold it out in front of you and above to block incoming attacks

[glad flint]

my policy

if i aint dead why give up

[sturdy crystal]

i dont like the one strapped to your arm but all the other shields are good

[worn heron]

The small one?

[tender quest]

double overhead strike

[sturdy crystal]

medium one

the shoulder one is fine

[worn heron]

Ahh, the one that is strapped right by your wrist

Use that as if you are punching, it has crazy concussive force

[sturdy crystal]

yeah its definitely good with a good swing to the noggin but of all the shields i like using it the least

[worn heron]

If you get a headshot it has a high chance to daze or knock out an armoured opponent

[worn heron]

I getcha!

I haven't seen you for a lil

[glad flint]

yes

[worn heron]

ahh awesome man, good to see ya. Have you seen our new bot channel haha

It's lowkey super fun lmao

Hi everyone

Anyone knows if its considered to add lan multiplayer to playtest?

It would be perfect, and u will can play online with hammachi or apps like that

[signal quest]

when we looking at gore? it's september 👀

[signal wedge]

People reading the faq challenge impossible

[signal quest]

i dont see a faq

[sturdy osprey]

me either

[signal wedge]

Yeah for some reason they don't have it as a channel, huge oversight from the person in charge

What a brave opinion for a game not even out yet

[fleet stump]

The demo tests early stage gore and roguelite'ish aspects

[sturdy osprey]

thx

[fleet stump]

The playtest tests enhanced controls, and removed roguelite and gore

we just tested different things

these are not video games, they're tests : D

we do have already 2m players with these tests tho

stoked for the release version : D

[signal wedge]

Four years later

[fleet stump]

I'm glad you will be here to wait

[signal wedge]

Yeah probably

[fleet stump]

cool, welcome

It's gonna play like cod

Have any updates appear?

[covert edge]

No

[soft osprey]

just some bs franky put in to give the bot a fighting chance

jk

[plush tendon]

game thought you had spaulders on

happens a lot when a edged wep can sooort of nick you a bit and then the fact armor would stop any serious damage dun matter

[plush tendon]

im going frame by frame and cant tell what happened

ooh... ok

how much do you get hit in the crotch?

and more importantly how does one stay upright after that?

it happens from time to time

[plush tendon]

ill avenge you, gimme a sec

[fleet stump]

if you could gamble on 1 v 1 fights, would you bet on yourself or on your opponent : D?

[fast bramble]

Bet on Willie, every time

[plush tendon]

eh... now i got "bet against me - watsky" stuck on my head

[tender quest]

Probably bet on myself

[plush tendon]

depends on tier and weps for me

[worn heron]

I've told a few people this on stream since you mentioned it, and they have been a bit too excited for shirtless Willie.

[plush tendon]

... age restriction for shirtless man?.... do they age restrict the beach?

[tardy lava]

hell yeah

[agile cradle]

Hey would half sword ever include jousting

[plush tendon]

thats such a funny suggestion

[agile cradle]

I guess so

[plush tendon]

i mean. it would be hilarious

[agile cradle]

It would

Imagine someone getting absolutely destroyed off the horse and you a big clank on the floor

[plush tendon]

apeaking of though, why does the pauldrons have cut outs for lance?

[tender quest]

I would like a practice arena, with wooden weapons so only temporary knockout from bonks, and the plus is that willie also improves from practicing >:)

[zinc shell]

Yep

Omg wille set up on OF

also i just wanna start a fight

[agile cradle]

😄

[plush tendon]

yes its very much based on real pauldrons but im curious as to why its the version with space for a lance

[tender quest]

only way i lose is when the AI blatantly cheats

[zinc shell]

but i believe in dual wielded axe superiority

is it realistic? maybe not fully. is it effective? yes

Check it out, fun lil game

[fleet stump]

Tell your friends about willie, this is the way

[little verge]

Tell them about our willie.

[glad flint]

reverse grip poleaxe is good in countering poleaxe

reverse grip poleaxe also makes fighting willies with shields that little less annoying

[lethal lodge]

how do you get that build of the game?

[opal sundial]

that aint the full build. That's the playtest

[lethal lodge]

ohh okay how does one get teh playtesty?

[opal sundial]

its on the steam page

[lethal lodge]

ok thank yuo

[glad flint]

i might include reversing my grip into my playstyle

i take down shield willies way faster in reverse grip

[zinc shell]

depends

[cerulean needle]

Impale with spear into a backflip finisher, craziest shit i've ever done with a spear lmao

[glad flint]

Ugh riddles, nevermind

boink

[glad flint]

yall

[glad flint]

thing is i wasnt trying to do it

you were purposefully trying

[plush tendon]

hmmm...

[glad flint]

you can do it while not trying

also heres me improving poleaxe technique

[plush tendon]

boink

[glad flint]

like using reverse grip to make full side to side swings

[glad flint]

that basically happened

to me

i wanna sleep but i aint sleepy

i gotta work on my aim with this new technique

[south sorrel]

I am getting my shit rocked

how do I fist fight

[plush tendon]

take a step back when he swings like crazy

dont hold shift constantly

dont spam too much

basically dont run out of stamina and if opponent wastes stamina you waste him

[south sorrel]

Oh fyck

[glad flint]

not all fights go smoothly

both those hits shoulda knocked the shit outta him

[plush tendon]

was trying to make another lil showcase but ended up in a super messy fight... anyway ended up being an amazing reaction vid

[cerulean needle]

Polearm flourish into execution

[glad flint]

deviled backshots

[plush tendon]

he died in that frame..

[south sorrel]

I see

imagine if there was magic potions that gave you powerups

[plush tendon]

beer?

the combination of the character holding his hands by the face and the opponents death gurgle is.. 👌

[woven nexus]

Spacing is bad you hit him with the handle of weap not the head

[glad flint]

the helmet? gone reduced to atoms

[woven nexus]

Popped into sparks

[plush tendon]

the X-bomb

what have i done!?

[south sorrel]

wait

breakable bottles

[plush tendon]

breakable swords

[glad flint]

shit wrong thing

there we go

[humble hatch]

how do you stab in half-sword or with dagger properly? I always just miss & do a twirl with the halfsword and just stab the ground with the dagger

[glad flint]

you dont

[plush tendon]

thats how you do it

[waxen wadi]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/iH2hX9cYUiHVevb5n/d1337vCxVjqf?invite=cr-MSx4SVUsMjY3NjE4NjM4LA

[woven nexus]

Hold alt and move mouse to stab

[glad flint]

why am i so dumb why am i sending this thing over and over again

[plush tendon]

i think he meant how to do it properly

[glad flint]

the sleep deprivation getting to me

[woven nexus]

Practice stabbing dead bodies

That's what i did to get more consistent

A lil psycho tho

[glad flint]

guys watch my video

[plush tendon]

just concerning

[woven nexus]

Hehehe

[glad flint]

trust

watch me video trust trust end is very juicy

[plush tendon]

i like the parts where you just blast him with X

[glad flint]

i dont mean to blast him with x in a cheaty way

in the end i just took the opportunity for de-helming his ass

[plush tendon]

switching will inherently boost attack if you do it on him or early in the swing

[glad flint]

nah i want to make my swings full swings

[plush tendon]

theyll be full

[south sorrel]

how do I get actual weapons

[plush tendon]

just way faster

[south sorrel]

its just prison brawls

[soft osprey]

You pick them up

[glad flint]

im tryna time em to not do the launch forward and be smooth

the first swing is the best example

[soft osprey]

Also

[south sorrel]

how scren?

[woven nexus]

[south sorrel]

oh

[glad flint]

viable strat?

[south sorrel]

anyone recomend any software for increasing mouse sensativityh

[plush tendon]

windows settings

[glad flint]

yeah,windows settings

[south sorrel]

anything beyond that

[glad flint]

@plush tendon this is a good example of what i wanna do with my strat

[plush tendon]

a new mouse

[south sorrel]

dang

[glad flint]

not cheaty just full powerful swings

[south sorrel]

I got a wireless office mouse

I'll get a gaming mouse soon

[plush tendon]

myeah, trying to use switching to get past defense and make bigger swings coming back is kind of how i learned about the explosions

[glad flint]

sometimes

just sometimes it can cause explosions

[plush tendon]

anytime the tip is on the enemy

[glad flint]

not just the tip

[plush tendon]

well beyond that it depends on what type of polearm

[south sorrel]

crash on death just the way the game is rn?

[plush tendon]

lucerne hammer tends to only make blasts by the tip

for example

[plush tendon]

switch to dx11

[glad flint]

eh i go sleep now

if i mis-time it it either just instakills the enemy or sends my weapon too high

[plush tendon]

the axe+spike tends to do less blasts

[glad flint]

the last blow was a perfect representation of a proper powerful full swing

[plush tendon]

you have a grip glitch there too

[glad flint]

fuck

[plush tendon]

happens when you switch before both hands are grabbing sometimes

[glad flint]

timing my grip switch to when the normal blast ends minimizes any cheaty blows

like around here and switch

[plush tendon]

i mean.. yeah if you complete the swing and switch when the wep is clear of the opponent

youre not likely to kaboom them

before that youll either get a boost or blast him

[glad flint]

that swing tho

the first one especially be what im tryna aim for

[plush tendon]

you got the grip glitch again

heh

[distant crest]

how i play this mode?

[plush tendon]

playtest. not demo

[distant crest]

oh

[glad flint]

nuh uh

[plush tendon]

look at how he holds it when on the right

like a sword rather than a polearm

[glad flint]

out of all my examples this might be the best one

or this one

[plush tendon]

oh.. i think i have a nice vid with poleaxe somewhere...

[glad flint]

this might be

my best clip

i could properly rank em if i had em and didnt make like 700 of em

not with that grip

see how hard i hit that mf here for it to be a 1tap

It’s all in the practice brother, there is technique to it. You’ll get it soon enough it’ll click for you

honestly i think i have like 20 hours on halfsword

im still mastering controls

once i get the controls down then i can get into the juicy techniques

Copypasta incoming

Bud, I've got 260 hours on the playtest, and and over 3000 confirmed kills. I'm the founder and an avid member of The Blademaster's Guild (Formerly the Swordman's Guild), I know a lot about using the longswords. It takes a lot of skill, and a lot of muscle memory, which is simply impossible to have built up in only 20 hours of playing with a brand new combat system. Put in the work and get good, or get wrecked kid.

[tawny flint]

thats not a brag anymore lol

260 hours is crazy

[soft osprey]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[plush tendon]

that might be the nastiest cringe ive had in years

[soft osprey]

Thanks I worked hard on it

[glad flint]

copypasta crazy

[soft osprey]

There’s another variation around here

bud, I've got 85 hours on the freaky playtest, and i'm the founder and an avid member of The Fisting guild (Formerly the Fistman guild), I know a lot about fisting people hard, it takes a lot of fisting, and a lot of threesomes. which is simply impossible to have built up in only 2 hours of fisting people with an brand new fisting system, either you fist more people and git gud. OR I FIST YOU HARD AND MAKE YOU CRY FOR MERCY.

[glad flint]

i think halfsword gonna be in a very close tie with gmod for my first steam game with 1000 hours

[tawny flint]

...

do you live?

[glad flint]

i just gotta catch up with 840 hours first then get to 1000

[tawny flint]

are you an AI or sum?

i have gmod since 2020

[tawny flint]

still bro

[glad flint]

mfs who bought it 2022 have like 3000 hour pipe down

It’s funny cause the copy pasta originated from a guy who genuinely was complaining about not being good after 2 hours

[tawny flint]

tf you mean pipe down, thats 2 monthjs of your life wasted on a screen

it was time spent with my friends doing jihad jokes with vehicles

[cerulean needle]

No wonder we are related. Our favorite games are mount and blade.

You fuck

[prisma pollen]

cuzzo

[glad flint]

oh wait i forgot this is halfsword chat

[soft osprey]

That’s why you’re the KING of Ryan’s

[glad flint]

uhhhh

[soft osprey]

And not some fake bozo

[crude shale]

M&b is fire

[cerulean needle]

Im waiting on that star wars mod for bannerlord, separatist crisis

[glad flint]

i love how willie dont have a chin

[plush tendon]

im waiting for bannerlord to be good

[crude shale]

I find myself enjoying war band a lot lately

[soft osprey]

Bannerlord is fire af wtf you talking about

Granted it’s better with mods like most games

[crude shale]

I need to buy it on steam so I can mod it

[plush tendon]

it has the worst systems ever invented and then it has a bunch of systems that arent invented

[crude shale]

I’m playing on the gamepass version

[soft osprey]

Like?

I’m going to fight you on this

[plush tendon]

like sieges

[soft osprey]

What about them..?

[plush tendon]

pick a thing

[prisma pollen]

bro sleeping now lol

[crude shale]

Sieges are actually pretty good and fun in bannerlord

[soft osprey]

What

You’re the one saying things are bad, YOU pick a thing

[plush tendon]

ok.... the bombardment stage

[crude shale]

Level up your siege skill 😭

[soft osprey]

Okay, what about the bombardment stage

You’re not giving any actual info lol

[glad flint]

200v200 in halfsword

[crude shale]

My pc would shit a brick

[plush tendon]

its because i dont feel like i need to

[crude shale]

Just bc you don’t like it doesn’t mean the game is shit

[soft osprey]

Then wtf was the point in this??

[covert edge]

PC instantly explodes

[glad flint]

nuclear pc

[plush tendon]

building engines in range of the enemy

[crude shale]

I feel like a 5v5 would be fun

[plush tendon]

the engines built

[soft osprey]

“Bannerlord is bad” why? “I don’t feel like explaining” 🤤

[plush tendon]

the tactics employed

[south sorrel]

YOUR BAD

[cerulean needle]

Ngl it needed more time in the oven but the modding community has the rest

The optimation for it nowadays is phenominal

Can run 800 man sieges no issue

[crude shale]

War band and bannerlord were like 10 years apart 😭🙏

[cerulean needle]

I know

[plush tendon]

war band is a better game imo

[soft osprey]

That was the most lackluster complaint about bannerlord I’ve ever seen.

I’ll let it slide

[crude shale]

Warband is bannerlord with less features

[plush tendon]

well i have no horse in the race really... i just think the game is incomplete with placeholder systems

[glad flint]

imagine 500v500 halfsword brawl

[cerulean needle]

Dude just discovered prequels

[soft osprey]

Warband was an incredible game, also have a few thousand hours in that. But bannerlord is undoubtedly better. Anyone who says different is stuck in nostalgia land

[plush tendon]

modding community is good though

[idle crane]

https://tenor.com/view/overheat-computer-explosion-boom-spark-gif-17323916

[crude shale]

Half sword sieges would be fun

[cerulean needle]

I've played every single mod in warband.

I got 2453 hours

Bear force 2 went hard when it was active

[soft osprey]

The absolute best mod accross any mount and blade game is the western one for the original

[vast silo]

a chivarly style mode would be fun asf

[cerulean needle]

https://tenor.com/view/cowboy-gif-25676903

[soft osprey]

Then the sengoku one for warband

[cerulean needle]

The lever action guitar

[soft osprey]

I absolutely adore the western mod. I actually specifically bought the original mount and blade, well after warband was out, just to play it

[crude shale]

I like the mod that allows you to enlist in armies in bannerlord

[cerulean needle]

freelance

[plush tendon]

it does less but its complete

[soft osprey]

It’s also over a decade old and took just as long to be complete

[cerulean needle]

Taleworlds was based enough to get government funding to build the game.

As a cultural development

[crude shale]

Actually?!? 😭 that’s fire if that’s true

[cerulean needle]

We here at the viper spear school teach, minimum force for maximum effect

[soft osprey]

Taleworlds for sure has a habbit of release mount and blade games not complete, they did so for every single iteration including the spin offs for warband. But they consistently update it through the years to get it complete and perfect. It’s not ideal, so bannerlord isn’t complete yet, but it will be. And the others also took years and years

[plush tendon]

yep....

[crude shale]

I’m super dogshit with the stabbing idk how to get good with it

[cerulean needle]

The trick is to double click when you are aligned for a thrust and move into it, and quickly retract to stay out of danger.

[soft osprey]

Not being totally complete doesn’t mean not good. I’m not sure what else you’re waiting on, they won’t be adding any big new things they’re just gonna fix small things here and there. Most systems are already implemented

[plush tendon]

thats depressing given how theyve left diplomacy....

[cerulean needle]

Double clicking is great for bigger polearms as well, allows you to do shit like this

[soft osprey]

Okay that is one thing I’ll give you.

Diplomacy mod is mandatory

I don’t think they’ll ever put actual native diplomacy in

[crude shale]

That was sick asf 😭

[plush tendon]

im not saying there arent any good parts to that game. i have a shitload of hours playing it...

it just has issues that that the modding community needs to fix i suppose

[soft osprey]

I’m biased anyway, mount and blade series is my absolute favorite series of all time. Total fanboy

[cerulean needle]

These devs need to focus on just making perfect sandboxes and let the community do the rest, and lower the price. Because it always ends up this way

[crude shale]

I feel like bannerlord is meant to be modded though

[soft osprey]

This is somewhat common nowadays anyway. Just look at any Bethesda game lol

[plush tendon]

for sure

bethesda is dead

[soft osprey]

Big game companies stay relying on modders

[crude shale]

Fallout 4 is still very fun

[cerulean needle]

Fallout 4's engine bores me to absolute death

[soft osprey]

Incredibly. Even more so with all the mod packs through wabbajack

[plush tendon]

bethesda relies on exploiting the fanbase

[cerulean needle]

I entirely prefer overhauled fallout 3 and new vegas

[soft osprey]

At this point Bethesda might as well just release game engines instead of actual games lol

[plush tendon]

fallout 76

[crude shale]

I tried playing base arma the other day

[plush tendon]

anyone wanna touch that?

no?

[soft osprey]

I’ve messed around with 76 a bit

[crude shale]

I enjoyed it for like 2 weeks

[soft osprey]

It’s not that bad, just another fallout gsme

But nothing I’d write home about especially since I can’t mod it

[plush tendon]

i got it fooooor 0.3 euro, still think i payed too much

[crude shale]

I played it recently I feel like the reason it is so hated is bc the launch was shit

[plush tendon]

its decent enough at what it does though

[cerulean needle]

I took this video to show you examples of how the polearm functions with rapid holding of the double click feature, you can chain together strikes to keep them stunned as well.

[plush tendon]

the main issue with the game is how they marketed it

[crude shale]

If it would’ve launched how it is rn then it would be an above average game

[soft osprey]

I don’t understand the complaints for it personally, I think as a fallout game it does everything right. But fallout without mods nowadays, isn’t really fallout huh

[plush tendon]

exactly

but how they present what is essentially a multiplayer mod for fallout 4 as the next big leap in the series

fooooked up

[soft osprey]

Bethesda spoiled us too long with mod capability now it’s just games released TO mod rather than games released you CAN mod.

[plush tendon]

well there is one game im holding out hope for (im excluding half sword since this would be a weird place to say that anyway)

after years of repeated disappointment...

[crude shale]

What game would that be

[plush tendon]

kingdom come: deliverance 2

[crude shale]

Omg ikr

[potent rose]

Realized I loved this game when I inadvertently managed to get full control of an opponents neck while half-swording before finally getting under their sallet.

[crude shale]

The crime system looks amazing

[potent rose]

As far as martial arts games go this is top tier.

next challenge of mine is trying to grapple and then reach for my dagger

[plush tendon]

i did 100% on steam achievements on the first....

[crude shale]

I have 900 hours or something I think

[plush tendon]

ive spent way too much time doing this

[potent rose]

Does it work yet? Sometimes my character will just bug out and hold his belt lol

[crude shale]

Have you seen the gameplay from the creators that were invited to Prague

[plush tendon]

arm can get stuck behind leg and you cant really target weak spots but without armor, maybe?

[plush tendon]

idk, ive watched a bit. i was excited to see the goats foot lever

[crude shale]

I’m a little upset that they simplified combat

[plush tendon]

ok that sounds bad...

dont do this to me

[crude shale]

Swords have 4 attack points now

[plush tendon]

stop hurting me

[crude shale]

And maces fists etc have 3

[plush tendon]

noooooooo

[crude shale]

Yeah but from what I know on swords they combined the bottom left and bottom right

And that’s jab

Since they got rid of the middle one

[plush tendon]

hm.. maybe they changed to blocking so fewer zones but still harder?

[crude shale]

The YouTuber I watched described it at being easier to learn but harder to master

Since there’s a lot of master strikes now apparently

Thankfully they fixed peasants being able to master strike

[plush tendon]

that was.. ugh

well ive already pre-ordered it so i guess they can start messing up now

[crude shale]

Lol they have until February to fix it

[plush tendon]

they better not screw me on this... i hate pre-ordering

but i love KC:D more...

[glad flint]

type of blows my willies survive

[plush tendon]

old prostitute: you wouldnt leave a maiden in distress would you?
Henry: why, have you seen one?

[crude shale]

Is it just me or does the first person suck?

[plush tendon]

you hit the bevor with a sword

basically you pushed him in the neck

or upper chest more like

where it rests on the chest plate

[cerulean needle]

One of the sexiest disarms i've ever done

[plush tendon]

and the 2h sword already hits harder than what might be feasible

[cerulean needle]

The biggest 2h sword on half sword is ridiculously strong

[crude shale]

What tier is it?

[cerulean needle]

Not sure but i dont use it, it's too easy

[plush tendon]

well they need to be kind of stronger when it comes to bashing than the real kind might have been

[glad flint]

ah yes pushed his neck bro literally got launched backwards from that hit

[crude shale]

Tier 5 infuriates me

[plush tendon]

otherwise theyd be useless

[plush tendon]

look up bevor

[cerulean needle]

I more so mean it's speed for it's weight, i think both might be overinflated

[plush tendon]

well its actually not made to be all that heavy

[cerulean needle]

In the game, its a chunk of iron thats the closest thing to GUTS sword

[plush tendon]

its not something youd wanna use against armor

[cerulean needle]

Yes, but it basically is a blunt weapon.

[plush tendon]

yup

[cerulean needle]

in the game

[plush tendon]

yuup

some of the longswords might be in the same weight class if they are for piercing cloth and mail

[cerulean needle]

He thought he had me

[candid obsidian]

where did the 4v1 go

[crude shale]

Last stand?

Or wtv it’s called

[candid obsidian]

yeah

[cerulean needle]

No where, heavily tied to the class you pick

[crude shale]

I think it’s only in the final 2 tiers

[candid obsidian]

ohh okay

[cerulean needle]

I turned him into a paraplegic

[latent patio]

How are you manoeuvring so potently

[plush tendon]

fast forward

[cerulean needle]

That is not fast forwarded.

I am using double click mechanic and maneuvering.

[plush tendon]

didnt know that could send you side and back like that

[cerulean needle]

Polearms

certain ones

[royal ledge]

just me or shields kinda a pain to use?

[zealous kestrel]

You move like a land fish

[royal ledge]

shit spears

[cerulean needle]

Spears i think are my favorite weapon in the game

[latent patio]

King of ryans proves that spears are pretty good

[royal ledge]

I'm getting there, but I like the greatsword best personally

[latent patio]

been using them and experimenting with the double click thing its pretty slick

[cerulean needle]

I love the long polearm horizontal grip because you can flourish with it into strikes

[plush tendon]

reminds me of a move i used in the demo...

[royal ledge]

I gotta say, I feel like the devs really nailed the armor, it feels like plate armor

[cerulean needle]

You can do some hilarious blunt force moves with the spear too like this

[plush tendon]

but no one can tell me why it has cut out for a lance...

[plush tendon]

thats so wonky

[royal ledge]

wobbly horses incoming

[cerulean needle]

Chefs kiss

Sir, there's been a second flourish

[royal ledge]

Also, the greatsword on knight feels terrible againist other knights

[cerulean needle]

Deflection of spear, then knockout

[plush tendon]

it should

[royal ledge]

it should feel bad, but it shouldn't be ineffective

[cerulean needle]

Double flourish into stab

[plush tendon]

it absolutely should

[jolly gorge]

Move to half sword, grapple them and knock them to the ground with the pommel, take put your short blunt, finish the fight.

I've done it dozens of times.

[royal ledge]

Yea, that's generally the move

[cerulean needle]

The long curved hook polearm is now my favorite weapon. It's so technical

[royal ledge]

Knights did fight each other with greatswords, it was very possible to kill them with it, it shouldn't just not do anything

[plush tendon]

it doesnt do nothing

[jolly gorge]

They killed each other via stabbing the armpits and eyeslits. In the present game this isn't a reliable tactic.

[royal ledge]

No, but it does take dozens of hits. It's still a heavy piece of metal

[plush tendon]

well.. semi heavy

[jolly gorge]

Greatswords on average weigh about 7-10 lbs.

At most.

[royal ledge]

Fair enough, some armor does have slots, can you not hit those?

[jolly gorge]

You can, but its extremely difficult.

[plush tendon]

game doesnt let you yet

[soft osprey]

God damn can you imagine how much it must hurt to be stabbed in the fuckin armpit

[plush tendon]

you can hit but its wonky

[jolly gorge]

A great sword was never meant to kill someone in heavy plate via slashing.

[cerulean needle]

Depends on the great sword

[royal ledge]

getting hit over the head with ten pounds is still something though. I dunno though, I don't think we have the chain and gambeson in half sword

[jolly gorge]

Its literally impossible.

[plush tendon]

kill a lot of guys in lesser armor though....

[soft osprey]

Show me a great sword getting through plate armor with a slash

[royal ledge]

Yea, you can't slash through solid steel

[cerulean needle]

That's not what I was infering.

[soft osprey]

Ryan that’s exactly what you were inferring

[cerulean needle]

He said kill in heavy plate via slashing, not penetrate.

[soft osprey]

He said kill in heavy plate via slash, how would you do that with plate armor

[plush tendon]

technically you can stab with it but it would probably be very hard to do

[cerulean needle]

Larger greatswords with bigger blade hefts.

[soft osprey]

Where would you be able to slash?

[cerulean needle]

The fucking head

[jolly gorge]

You're not stabbing through it either. The games physics based system ATM makes swords in general almost unusable against armored foes.

[soft osprey]

In plate armor??

[royal ledge]

Archery is gonna be so fucked

[cerulean needle]

correct

[soft osprey]

That would be blunt damage

[cerulean needle]

Correct

You can slash with a sword and inflict blunt damage.

[soft osprey]

You know that’s not what was meant

[jolly gorge]

I've seen someone take a full on Axe blow to the head wearing padding and a great bassinet.

[cerulean needle]

Then use proper grammar lmfao

[plush tendon]

hmm... the sword would break before you killed the guy....

[soft osprey]

Ryan

[jolly gorge]

He was completely fine.

[soft osprey]

Fuckin Ryan

[cerulean needle]

If you mean something, say it, dont roast people for directly addressing with a solution

[soft osprey]

You read into it

[royal ledge]

Do we have the gambeson and chain though?

[soft osprey]

On purpose

[cerulean needle]

Okay.

[soft osprey]

And came up with an out of the box answer

[cerulean needle]

That's because I can critically think

[jolly gorge]

Presently no but they'll be cool to see.

[soft osprey]

You know they meant death by cutting not blunt damage. That’s not thinking critically that’s thinking of an entire different thing

[royal ledge]

If we don't have the under armor, then a sword hit to the head is potentially devastating

[plush tendon]

great bascinet is very different

[cerulean needle]

Slashing with a sword can inflict blunt damage, How do you think blunt damage is inflicted with a sword otherwise than the pommel lmfao

[soft osprey]

Again, they were clearly talking about slashing cut not blunt damage. So that’s irrelevant

[cerulean needle]

Then they should use those words, and you should get out of your own way.

Stone face

[soft osprey]

You just read into it, not understanding what they meant

RYAN

[plush tendon]

lol.. again... any sword would break before you manage to kill a guy with any damage from a swinging motion using the blade

[cerulean needle]

I'm good, can't hear you over this sick ass gameplay

[soft osprey]

Moksh don’t attack him

Ryan I won’t stone you it’s ok

You’re alright

[cerulean needle]

I like some good pain

[soft osprey]

Ok I’ll stone you

[signal wedge]

Ryan I will stone you you're not safe

[cerulean needle]

Thank god

[jolly gorge]

I think that in the present game system its overall fine save for the fact that great swords are way too wobbily and overswing all the time.

I'd really rather that be adjusted than them being able to cut down people in plate. Makes me feel like I'm wielding a telephone pole.

[plush tendon]

and if the helmet youre hitting is kept stable by the ground both of you would die of old age before you kill him with the pommel

[cerulean needle]

They keep telling me polearms are broken and unusable

[soft osprey]

Whoever’s telling you that has skill issues

[jolly gorge]

They're not unusable, they do need adjustment though.

[cerulean needle]

I love them how they are.

[soft osprey]

Polearms are by far the best weapons

[plush tendon]

should be

[cerulean needle]

skill issue

[soft osprey]

Moksh you’re arguing with a rock right now, do you know how silly you look

I’m just a carved stone

You can’t argue or debate me

Hmmmm

Sucks to be you

Skill issue

[plush tendon]

i wonder what can of worms i can open up next....

you got it there, you get it out

[cerulean needle]

He aint getting up from that one

[pine field]

what's the best type of weapon in half sword

[cerulean needle]

Whatever you can use best. It took me 30 hours to realize i love polearms

The long hooked polearm is my favorite in horizontal grip

[pine field]

so bludgeons

[brazen cloak]

i like the halberd looking thing but idk what ones the best

[brisk rampart]

I think the Goedendag is a probably the most S tier for the class its in.

[brazen cloak]

i think the axe type ones are best because they bludgeon and slice or something

[brisk rampart]

Axes are very fun

[brazen cloak]

yeah

i wonder how weapons were distributed to soldiers

in half sword time period anyways

[vast raptor]

i like the big swords

[pine field]

the hammer with a sharp end?

[vast raptor]

lol

[brazen cloak]

yeah

well theres an actual axe-head on it

[jolly gorge]

Poleaxes/hammers.

No contest. Can 1 tap armored enemies, good for grappling, good against shields, good against groups.

They are outright overpowered in the hands of a skilled player.

It's also extremely easy to control. The only real downside is hand/stance switching wierdness where a weapon gets pinned behind you or in an unusable position and you need to awkwardly swap hands until you're back to a proper stance.

[signal wedge]

@mighty nexus

[brazen cloak]

true

[potent rose]

Polearms are great

The one I think is fairly boring right now is the spear.

But that's also because I can't aim it.

[cerulean needle]

Got stabbed with a spear, got back up, took it out, and then finished the enemies

I just learned a fucking hilarious new technique

[signal wedge]

Ok

Ryan the stink lord

[cerulean needle]

with horizontal grip you can just spin to attack

[cerulean needle]

Let's see your clips

[signal wedge]

I don't have to prove my lack of stink, Ryan

Can't hear you over this gameplay silly head

[jolly gorge]

Yo unc imagine half sword ona console

[signal wedge]

Imagine you being sent to Ukraine

[jolly gorge]

I'd be the terminator of Ukraine

[cerulean needle]

You aren't strong enough for a Mcdonalds drive thru, imagine you going to Ukraine.

[signal wedge]

Ryan I'm not strong enough to go though the drive through yeah, but you're too big to fit in the drive though

[cerulean needle]

Willie would be dissappointed at the lack of creativity

We speak in known facts here

[plush tendon]

well it can be twisted to creative....

like. "well thats just because you got stuck in it"

was on to something

[cerulean needle]

You were, yes.

[plush tendon]

hey, im just stoking the flames here. not a target

[cerulean needle]

The flames are lower than mid

[signal wedge]

Nah you're a target now

[plush tendon]

awh fak, this backfired

[cerulean needle]

You should see me and @soft osprey when we go at it and make out after

[signal wedge]

They are very fast

And gay

[plush tendon]

i interpreted this the wrong way...

[cinder stone]

I think this is my cinderella run

[royal ledge]

Imagine how this game would work with siege physics

[cinder stone]

I've survived a ridiculous number of injuries this run

[plush tendon]

quite sure there are sims of siege engines and destructible walls around

[cinder stone]

also protip: when either or both of your arms are messed up, holding a weapon with both hands will give you less chance of the thing slipping or falling off your hands

[plush tendon]

hate 4th boss when i dont have gauntlets

[cinder stone]

it's my first time beating him

without cheats, I mean

[plush tendon]

i usually just ran scythe to that point, can tap him in the neck

[cinder stone]

eh I'm not good enough with the scythe

I'm much better with axes and bonkers

[plush tendon]

its easy when you use the wide grip

[cinder stone]

the wide grip is the wideways one right?

[plush tendon]

yeh

[cinder stone]

sideways*

[plush tendon]

more controlled

better leverage

[cinder stone]

that one is good but there's less range and at some point the enemies start to survive the hits that would've killed lower tier willies

[royal ledge]

Is there a way to remove armor?

[cinder stone]

s'why I switched to axe+bonker

blunt force to armor fuck yeah

[plush tendon]

unreasonably effective

[cinder stone]

it makes sense, kinda

[plush tendon]

nope

[cinder stone]

energy transfer has something to do with it

[plush tendon]

myeah well.. over the entirety of the surface

[cinder stone]

you hit the helmet, the helmet absorbs the impact but then some of the impact is transfered to what's behind it and what's behind it is a human head

hit hard enough and the helmet won't matter much

[plush tendon]

i meant more knockdowns from chest hits

with a 1 handed mace

[cinder stone]

...momentum? iunno lol

[plush tendon]

you essentially shake his head violently with a hit to the face, yeah

[near arch]

Reading the feedback channels is hilarious. People have some really dumb opinions. "demo combat was better", "1st person helmet blocking your view is a good thing", "I'm illiterate, and and want everyone to know it, so here's ChatGPT's opinion on why you should add blood and gore"

[cinder stone]

yeah, concussion

[plush tendon]

eh.. i think demo combat was better in many aspects....

[worn heron]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-confused-gif-15712129875520007531

[cinder stone]

I think the playtest combat is better actually

[plush tendon]

its easier for sure, damage is handled better

[cinder stone]

once there's an abyss demo/game mode in the full game, with the new gameplay and the tighter physics and combat and all that, it's gonna such a great bit of fun

[plush tendon]

clipping is less of an issue or at least shows itself in less annoying ways

[misty lotus]

playtest combat is so much better than itch or demo combat, i can actually block and parry and do techniques instead of just flailing around wildly

[worn heron]

wili

hamr

[plush tendon]

you can very much still do that in void demo

[worn heron]

do it go hard doe

[misty lotus]

much more difficult without an autoblock and with how much more forceful and floppy the movements are

[plush tendon]

the autoblock in demo is better

[misty lotus]

you're insane

[plush tendon]

the damage was worse

but the block tracking was better

[worn heron]

oh

my

fucking

[plush tendon]

stuff will clip and get you anyway

[worn heron]

god

willie space program...

[desert trellis]

sword gave backshots

[calm quest]

youre smoking crack

[plush tendon]

also the movement was smoother with low sensitivity

than in playtest

[calm quest]

https://tenor.com/view/smoking-lolipop-gif-23333625

some weird accelleration that im not a fan of

Did you all know if you put the pitchfork between your legs like a broomstick, then hold mouse button, you fly like Harry Potter?

[dense island]

I take a sword

turn it into a mace

where did it go

the first stabs leading up are to instill fear

tap tap tap tap slash

so is there a way to play ^ what the video is showing or is it just playtesters? I downloaded the demo on steam but im just in a dark room running around

[plush tendon]

steam store page

apply for test

then wait patiently

For the playtest, Go to https://store.steampowered.com/app/2397300/Half_Sword/ to request access, wait for a confirmation email from the devs. From there you'll have the playtest available to install directly in your steam library, just please be patient as there have been over 500,000 people accepted so far, so things may take a little bit, depending on who's online, it can take 1-12 hours typically.

When the confirmation email is in your inbox (be sure to check your spam just in case!) the game will be automatically added to your steam library under "Half Sword Playtest"

enjoy and welcome to HalfSword!

If you have any additional questions, check the #faq , and you can ask the mods for help too!
