[polar palm]

i got out of camera mode

but the inventory is stuck open. if i hit R it opens another inventory on top of it.

[cursive haven]

this is some game-breaking crap you've found

report

[polar palm]

yeah i've made a lil thread for it

[cursive haven]

good

[timid estuary]

I will play half sword playtest 24/7 when they add the gore back

[flat fern]

why not play it 24/7 now

[cursive haven]

fr

[copper marlin]

@warm dew

[polar palm]

ending the battle seems to fix it

[timid estuary]

Kinda boring without the gore

[flat fern]

https://tenor.com/view/static-gif-4763121

[soft osprey]

So the fun part is blood? Hm. I can take a video of like a bathtub filled with blood if that’ll be more fun

[timid estuary]

But cutting enemies throats is not boring

[polar palm]

the gore is just the sprinkles on top. if you don't enjoy the base meal i doubt you'll love the version with sauce on the side

[flat fern]

why dont you try and fuck with your save files

[sand flax]

I like the noises so it’s not boring for me

[soft osprey]

Damn. Well said

[timid estuary]

I'll prob won't buy the release version (if it will be like 1-40$ then I will)

[soft osprey]

The noises of what? The gurgling on blood?

See this is why some people think gore fiends are weirdos lol

[idle crane]

Release will have blood don't worry. It will be 30 USD or less

[polar palm]

eh you get some meaty thwacks and some metal grinding sounds. pretty neat

[timid estuary]

The gore just makes it a lil more realistic

[mystic tusk]

how do i get the beta version?

[polar palm]

i would happily pay 40 euro. the playtest alone has gotten me a good 10 euro worth of enjoyment at the very least and if the 5% thing is true this game will be lovely

[soft osprey]

Yeah for sure-that’s why the gore is great- because it adds another layer of realism to the nit and grit of medieval combat. But then you have people who NEED gore to enjoy the game-or..love the..noises..apparently. It just gets weird at some point

[polar palm]

fr

[cerulean needle]

I love the noises of Willie after i shove him into the fence riding him like a horse

[idle crane]

i would happily pay more. But the devs actually care about their players so they wont charge too much

[timid estuary]

Willies voice is music for my ears (not screams)

[polar palm]

"please master developers. apease the hogs with bang bang violencia"

[polar palm]

holy based

[timid estuary]

We gotta appreciate the stuff they gave us for free

[dim idol]

can anyne help

[timid estuary]

Ngl, I enjoyed the half sword dungeon version alot

[dim idol]

i have started to hate it

[tough yew]

Must request the play test version and wait a little.

[timid estuary]

Just go to steam and search half sword, and request playtest

[cerulean needle]

I somehow made myself jump from the ground, to the top of the fence, and then back onto the ground safely, and gave Willie a concussion

[timid estuary]

[fierce umbra]

it only worked w a scythe for me

[soft osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/unifiedhealth-keepgoing-gif-23454958

Me when I browse #game-footage-🎮🎥

[fierce umbra]

for some reason im cutting them in half consistently with a longsword

[cerulean needle]

As long as you hit at a certain angle with any sharp edge you can cut them in half

[soft osprey]

You’re too stronk

[fierce umbra]

my sword sharp as hell

i js cut those two in half mid fight

[polar palm]

anyone got tips for improving this a bit? i like it but something is missing.

[fierce umbra]

try changing the screen effects idk

its the star thingy

stealth 99

booty axe

[cerulean needle]

I just wanted to share this PSA as a guide to how to help Willie when he starts choking on non-service related injuries

[gusty sun]

Hello, I have seen this game on tiktok and downloaded it ,but it isn't the same as it showcased ,how do i change the map ?

[soft osprey]

There two versions my friend-the demo is the black abyss and the playtest is the arena. You have to apply to the playtest through the steam store page for half sword and then wait up to- typically - 12 hours at most

Though it’s usually much faster

[gusty sun]

Thank you very much.

[soft osprey]

No problem

[fierce umbra]

freaky

[simple tinsel]

is my sword long enough

[cerulean needle]

Spinning strike

what will be the price of half sword when it releases

williehub

[polar palm]

that's fucking sick

[analog pelican]

isnt it kinda unfair that the npcs can turn around while in the combat stance but you cant? or is there just a technique to it?

[idle crane]

Ya got this one yet?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1278030799303741584/WillieSix.gif

[soft osprey]

You can turn around whenever you want, it’s all in the TECHNIQUE like SpongeBob

[scenic belfry]

whenever that track is playing in the ost I always get clips like this, it just brings it out somehow

[soft osprey]

I do now

[analog pelican]

i see, but what if im trying to guard against a strike but since guarding requires fine precise inputs i dont have time to let go of the button and them turn and then block at the same spot within miliseconds.

ig ill just stick to dodging now that i know you can dodge which nobody told me B)

[soft osprey]

I’d say that’s down to user skill-or to put it bluntly-skill issue

Not to be mean-but that’s what it is. Practice more my friend

[analog pelican]

i bet you feel pretty stupid right now

[soft osprey]

I never feel stupid-I’m a rock. If anyone should feel stupid it’s people who argue with rocks

[sand flax]

But there’s no blood ):

[analog pelican]

dang, i just killed my oponent im pretty sure but i went unconcious cus he hit me in the head with a giant rock on a stick

[soft osprey]

Yes and you are not getting yours back even after everyone else does

Willie is my favorite character in half life

[elder galleon]

how do i get the actual half sword game on steam not the demo?????

[soft osprey]

Apply to the playtest through the steam store page my friend

Then wait up to 12 hours but typically much faster

[idle crane]

[flat fern]

it was sent by a mod

here

[crisp ivy]

well then

[cloud yew]

gorgeous polework

[tough yew]

aye

[jaunty forge]

how come people are still asking about the blood when the game literally tells u why there isnt any when u boot it up

[tough yew]

Some peeps just don’t read and y’know skim through it.

[soft osprey]

Welcome to everyone’s life here the past 3 months

[jaunty forge]

how the hell did i die instantly

huhh

[timber sonnet]

is this the playtest vers?

[soft osprey]

Common bug to get a lose screen before even starting

[analog pelican]

what does pressing F do? cus it just makes a circle go big and small on the screen???

[jaunty forge]

nah like it was mid fight

[soft osprey]

Locks on

[jaunty forge]

we was fighting then i went lights out

it was crazy

[analog pelican]

you can what.

WHY IS NOBODY TELLING ME THESE THINGS

[jaunty forge]

WE CAN LOCK ON?

[analog pelican]

DODGING AND NOW LOCKING ON

[jaunty forge]

HUH

[soft osprey]

You can adjust the strength through settings

[jaunty forge]

WAIT DODGING?

HOW

[soft osprey]

Movement with opposing mouse flicks

And shift

You’ll figure it out

[analog pelican]

like standing still and pressing shift and then suddenly moving.

you dont have to use mouse flicks

you can dodge backwards for example

and also kinda forwads.

[soft osprey]

Ah yes the famous dodging forward into the blade technique, it’s my specialty. You’ll be shocked how fast I can die

[analog pelican]

the perfect warriour

[pseudo stirrup]

[fervent vault]

[analog pelican]

you can get access to it if you just request access on steam.

[pseudo stirrup]

oh gotcha

how long do i need to wait?

[analog pelican]

WHY DO THEY ATTACK WHEN I TRY TO SURRENDER

[analog pelican]

like a week maybe.

[pseudo stirrup]

dang

[analog pelican]

but i think they just accept everyone

[soft osprey]

Because fuck your mercy

[pseudo stirrup]

oh xiik

[analog pelican]

but in the playtest theres stamina and dodging

[pseudo stirrup]

cool*

[analog pelican]

dont uninstall the demo tho i think they said.

[nimble moat]

The icons on the right of the character screen

[pseudo stirrup]

yea i wont

[soft osprey]

Demo and playtest are two seperate games

[fervent vault]

lol I just threw an elbow XD

[prisma raft]

If they added a squire to Half Sword, he would look something like this

[flat fern]

a real knock out!!!

[analog pelican]

how

[flat fern]

skill

[fervent vault]

Real knockout

[flat fern]

oh

i cant post files

[wise halo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrre0_21Xmw

Real willie leg

[analog pelican]

is it a skill when i stab someone in the throat at just the right time for when i die so the gurgling sound is slowed down and sounds awful?

[soft osprey]

Lmfao wtf is this

His movement god damnit

Made me exhale sharply out of my nose

[wise halo]

Bro I thought, I need to record this

hes like tap dancing forward or something

[jolly gorge]

D:

[fervent vault]

how do you slow mo?

[analog pelican]

is there a button to slow down the game???

[wise halo]

should not be?

[soft osprey]

Brutal

[jolly gorge]

#1 slo mo enjoyer

[analog pelican]

tell us how to do it

please

[soft osprey]

No there isn’t slow mo except for him

He’s the only one allowed

Very sorry guys

[wise halo]

He is also a mordhow player

[analog pelican]

after people didnt tell me about dodging, stamina and locking on im not sure i trust that.

[fervent vault]

I bet he is using Cheat Engine hahahaha

[soft osprey]

There’s no slow mo except for him, just like there’s no gore except for me

Some people are just special

[jolly gorge]

lololol nah simply reversed the game

[analog pelican]

you have gore?

[jolly gorge]

i did it a month ago when the beta first game out

or playtest rather

[soft osprey]

I actually took your gore too, so I could have it in my game

[wise halo]

only a handfull of special people like easter and me get gore

[sand flax]

Can I be special🥺

[soft osprey]

You have to have the skills and knowledge

No I’m sorry

[sand flax]

But the doctor said I’m special

[soft osprey]

I don’t make the rules

[wise halo]

No sorry you have not been a long enough member to get these priveleges

[soft osprey]

I just enforce them

[jolly gorge]

i get slow mo added to official game 😄

[sand flax]

This is sad day☹️

[soft osprey]

There is no gore or slow motion-his footage is just slowed down.

YOURE A FOOL FOR BELIEVING US MUAHAH

[sand flax]

[flat fern]

never thought the easter island head guy would have a kid

[soft osprey]

lol yeah my online and irl personality are of course, different

[flat fern]

true!

[versed wadi]

I am having a lot of fun with the new playtest, but I wonder. Will the other demo be updated to match with the gore turned on? I miss seeing my opponents bleed out lol

[dense ridge]

theres a new playtest?

[soft osprey]

It will be getting added back at a later date when it’s all finished!

I’ll show you what the community manager says

[summer schooner]

LETS GOOOOOOO

[soft osprey]

No, just the demo and playtest currently

[versed wadi]

I literally cannot wait : D

[summer schooner]

i just noticed its been 8 months since he said that

[open kindle]

I also enjoy watching the enemies get their throats slit before they can even swing for me and watch them drown in their blood

Or de-limbing them with a scythe

Actually, is there a scythe in playtest or no?@soft osprey

I've not seen one yet

[soft osprey]

No there is no scythe in the playtest, though I hadn’t realized until you just said it lol but you’re right

[open kindle]

Makes sense tbf

It's not the best weapon to bring realistically

Blunts hella quick

[soft osprey]

Instead we now have the goedendag to be op

The giant stick covered in spikes

Super op for the tier it’s in

[open kindle]

Goedendag is the spear but not a spear. You're describing the plançon

[soft osprey]

We just call it the goedendag around here

But good to know

[open kindle]

Goedendag

Plançon

[soft osprey]

You’d fit right in with the history nerds here lol

[open kindle]

Nah I've just heard the history nerds name them so I researched for my own nerdy benefit

[soft osprey]

There’s a specific channel or thread in here for talk about stuff like that you should check it out

[open kindle]

The trouble with medieval shit is that the names just get lost unless you play or learn medieval things a lot

[open kindle]

Send it g

[finite garnet]

Character customization will be a thing?

[soft osprey]

I have to check what it’s called for you

[open kindle]

By the looks of it eventually

[soft osprey]

It will be yes

[versed wadi]

Yeeep exactly, I didn't know half the shite I do before youtubers like Matt Easton, Skallagrim, etc.

[open kindle]

It's doable in Demo

[open kindle]

I'm autistic for weapons

Unironically

[soft osprey]

There’s 3 different threads depending on the time period

Samofsaturn has them

ask him in general chat

[open kindle]

Ight

[versed wadi]

Oh yeah. Me, I'm deeply in love with medieval arms and armor in general. Always been that way since I was a kid, but I was a cringe mall ninja until I got older and realized that most of what hollywood spoon feeds you about those periods is fantasy

[open kindle]

Oh ya definitely

Knight in shining armour is a joke

He's a coward most likely

[versed wadi]

THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR BEING CHIVALROUS

I let him get up 😂

[open kindle]

Ahahaha

[graceful imp]

is there a way to get the cursor from the demo back in playtest?

[open kindle]

The centre cursor?

As in the crosshair

Or the actual cursor

[versed wadi]

One thing I am noticing is lockon with F doesn't really seem to be locking on, Maybe I'm just not using it right?

[graceful imp]

the one that follows your mouse

[open kindle]

Central crosshair isn't in playtets from what I've found

[graceful imp]

oughhhh

[open kindle]

Focus will show white circles going form out to in when you lock on

[stuck galleon]

will the playtest have gore anytime soon?

[graceful imp]

rough for getting used to how to actually swing correctly

[open kindle]

Then tapping it again will go in to out to unfocus

[open kindle]

Read up

[graceful imp]

they said that it'll be coming back after an event, theyre also upgrading it

[open kindle]

Doing the mod job

[open kindle]

Aye ik

Practice in Demo rly

Then build muscle memory for each weapon on where to have your camera looking and where the weapon should be to swing

Tedious ik

I've made a thread about it and the mouse sens resetting in the feedback channel

[meager swift]

Can someone tell me what inspired Escape from Tarkov? (I've been thinking about that since yesterday LOL)

[idle crane]

In the FAQ?

[meager swift]

Yes

[idle crane]

Probably some mechanics we havent seen yet

Pierrot has mentioned how he would like escape from tarkov like mechanics

[graceful imp]

maybe that's what the "campaign" or whatever its called gamemode will be

medieval escape from tarkov

[open kindle]

Medieval raids with the boys

Pillaging n shit

[gusty kestrel]

dark and darker in question:

[graceful imp]

true, true

[graceful imp]

yes..

[hushed gale]

How do you even think about putting those mechanics in, they’re both radically different games

[jolly gorge]

i thought gore was coming back on like the 25th

[hushed gale]

It’s confirmed this month then

Glad we don’t gotta wait until October

[wraith jackal]

is there a way to move the head?

[open kindle]

Please tell me you're fucking with me

[idle crane]

Idk i havent seen these mechanics im speculating just as much as anyone else. You could for instance go do something with you shiny armour die and lose it idk

[jolly gorge]

is it confirmed for tmrw?

[worn heron]

From Freshe: Willie Reshade 1.9p Update Soon...

[worn heron]

no it's not ...

[tough yew]

they got the wrong idea of that message lmfao

[gusty kestrel]

so its last month?

[jolly gorge]

wish they would add basic gore in once the tokyo show is over

[jolly gorge]

it makes a little bit of sense to do that

[gusty kestrel]

its a playtest

you test the mechanics

[wraith jackal]

meow hell,o peoples

[gusty kestrel]

if you want blood, be patient, its as shrimple as that

OR

[jolly gorge]

but

[gusty kestrel]

go back to the demo

[jolly gorge]

they already do have it in a basic form

[gusty kestrel]

isaplaytest

also im kinda happy

because my vram is SHIT

[open kindle]

Bro

What are you using

[gusty kestrel]

pretty sure uh

yknow how some boards have

like vga and shit just soldered onto em

thats what im using

[open kindle]

Omfg

🤣

That's a first for me to see

[gusty kestrel]

I could fish out a gpu from a really old pc but its like

WORSE

that gpu puts out 256 mb of vram

[open kindle]

Scrapyard pc build

[gusty kestrel]

thats what you get from prebuilts

But shit me

[gusty kestrel]

green screen of death my beloved

[open kindle]

Props for keeping up with that for 2 years dawg

[gusty kestrel]

this was before i realized i had NO gpu

[open kindle]

You needa save up and get a better prebuild if you don't wanna build your own

[gusty kestrel]

yeah the cpu is actually somewhat decent though, same with the ram

should we pull this convo into general chat

[open kindle]

My cpu is a mild bottleneck to my gpu

[gusty kestrel]

or sum

[open kindle]

Yes actually good point

[gusty kestrel]

alr

[half bison]

is there supposed to be no blood in the play test?

The way I understood it is that theyre adding it back real soon

[humble bloom]

When its done

[supple cedar]

no shit einstein

[hushed gale]

Where is the no blood gang at? Fight against having blood in game? Who is with me

[candid yew]

game needs to come out so i can 1v1 my friend lol

[versed wadi]

this one was close

[half bison]

there could just be an on off setting for it

[versed wadi]

Yeah, would be super awesome if we could get that setting. But if not, hopefully we are seeing a full release soon

this is a game I'd have ZERO issue paying for an early access to get ahold of lol

[open kindle]

plancon type shit

[versed wadi]

I just used that weapon for the first time and it killed the dude and got stuck in him 😂

[open kindle]

misclicking my off hand led to pole vaulting into dude's body

[versed wadi]

Me grabbing and throwing hands because my weapon got stuck 😂

I love they added punching 😂

[hallow swift]

i cant see blood is that supposed to happen?

[hallow swift]

Also me: NUUUH DUN KILL ME PLEASE AHHHHHH

[jolly gorge]

I've generally spared enemies if they don't spend 1 full minute beating my ass while im trying to stand up.

(Please improve the ground game)

[versed wadi]

yesss 100%

I am just too blood thirsty (~~but sadly no blood 😢 ~~) to let them live

[versed wadi]

I cannot WAIT to see that again. Really I am chomping at the bit for this game in general. it's just pure silly fun, which is exactly what I need after a crap day at work lol

[open kindle]

frrr

[versed wadi]

this is such a fun weapon

[pseudo stirrup]

LETS GO I GOT INN

[versed wadi]

niiice

[versed wadi]

This weapon is just too damn fun

[versed wadi]

oooof

[open kindle]

longsword is too fun

[versed wadi]

Yep, longswords are my favorite weapon in the demo version

wish the demo had the weapons that the playtest does

OOOF right in the kisser

[open kindle]

London ✨

[versed wadi]

Some of ya'll seem to have such fine control over your mouse movements in this game

[soft osprey]

It’s all in practice my friend-some guys have 100-200+ hours in just the playtest

[versed wadi]

Fair. I played the hell out of the demo, but idk. I can't seem to have that pinpoint accuracy that I see around here lol

[soft osprey]

Yeah the demo combat and playtest combat are a lot different so it takes time to adjust

[craggy ore]

Turn your mouse sensitivity down in game, it helps quite a bit. Half sword enjoys precise mouse movements, not too fast but not too slow either

[vernal pewter]

it aint that deep can he stop crying

[craggy ore]

I would be too

[versed wadi]

Tis but a scratch!

[versed wadi]

Okay so I redownloaded the demo, I def have a tighter control over the swings compared to the playtest

I think it might be the crosshairs

[open kindle]

Yes

Central crosshair isn't working in playtest

[craggy ore]

I do too

[wispy bobcat]

my fav weapon combo ❤️

[stiff kiln]

do anyone know how to skip tutorial? it taking forever

[versed wadi]

wow first time I got this

[soft osprey]

That’s not a tutorial my friend just the first text at the start is. The demo plays like a rogue like game, with gear getting better as you go. There are 6 bosses total to get through

[stiff kiln]

do i have to request to have acess? and does it cost money.

ill just read faq

[soft osprey]

Yes you request access through the steam page, it’s free

And everyone gets accepted

[soft osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/he-is-the-messiah-monty-gif-19570851

[stiff kiln]

dang thats cool w dev

i just requested, how long wil it take if you know?

[soft osprey]

At most you have to wait 12 hours, typically it’s much faster-within a few minutes to a few hours

It depends if there’s anyone on to accept you at the time

[stiff kiln]

k, ill just play itch io version for now.

[craggy ore]

There's also the steam demo too

but for the playtest itself, you gotta wait a bit

[bitter zinc]

Are they just gonna be adding in the standard gore from the normal demo, or will it be the updated gore?

[jolly gorge]

[REDACTED]

[bitter zinc]

Wait does Best At Mace actually know things? Idk who's with the devs and who isn't

[bitter zinc]

Do you know things? Why did you respond that way?

[jolly gorge]

no i dont it was bait😭

we all know the same info

and its not gonna be old gore, iirc

[bitter zinc]

Bruh.

[jolly gorge]

😂

[bitter zinc]

Wait why does it say "throw me to the wolves and I'll come back pregnant" under the VA's name?

Wtf

[jolly gorge]

idk, cause its his profile, so its decorated how he wants it? the game isnt an arg fam😭

[bitter zinc]

Ik it was just weird

I was checking to see who the devs were in the server and I noticed it

[jolly gorge]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message btw

[soft osprey]

because he will get pregnant and wants to warn you?

simple to understand imo

[jolly gorge]

i remembered why i love this game

just got appected to playlist yayy

[bitter zinc]

Am I the only one who sucks at the game's controls? Idk if it's inconsistent frame rate or my mouse or what but weapons feel too wobbly for me to be even remotely accurate with what I want to do

[soft osprey]

yes, actually. it is quite literally only you. how does that make you feel? do you feel bad?

you should

[frank scarab]

easter is partially joking but theres some bits of truth in there.

[bitter zinc]

I kinda feel like blade weapons in particular aren't really cutting as often as I like, or if I try and cut off their limbs when they're knocked over I keep missing

[soft osprey]

if youre talking about the demo, its a super early build of the game with wonky physics

the playtest combat is much more refined

[jolly gorge]

will there ever be multiplayer

[soft osprey]

local splitscreens been tested succesfully but doubtful on full multiplayer

[soft osprey]

you made me type that out

and sent it 0.5 seconds before me

[bitter zinc]

That might be it. I'm gonna hop on the play test later cuz I got the invite in my email a little while ago.

[chilly moth]

Updated gore. Infact, old one won't work anyways for tech reasons

[chilly moth]

Speaking of which, can you even bind it to a controller

[frank scarab]

steam controller binding system

[chilly moth]

how well does it play

[frank scarab]

good enough that i can do a riposte

and all of the techniques in blademaster's guild

fool's guard false edge strike too

[flat fern]

that is

idk

[bitter zinc]

Braaaaains

Sorry

[chilly moth]

we need the gore bot back

[frank scarab]

no gore

[bitter zinc]

Bro all the images I've seen of the new gore look so chunky. So many chunks. Also what is the gore bot?

[chilly moth]

you say gore or blood, the bot posts that above image

[flat fern]

gore

[chilly moth]

got removed sadly

[flat fern]

blood

[frank scarab]

quasar got killed of by franky

or some mod

[chilly moth]

why no blood is the new y no pvp

[frank scarab]

like mcwonderbeast

[bitter zinc]

I just want to hit someone over the head with a warhammer and watch salsa spill out onto the floor.

I will not apologize for the phrasing

[chilly moth]

Well then just wait

the bot existed because people kept asking "Where is blood" and were too braindead to read the FAQ or announcements

then it became a meme

hell

[chilly moth]

I think even the playtest splash explains why

[chilly moth]

Ayo, where da bloood at boss

[chilly moth]

they should have it so when you first launch the playtest, an audio queue plays where someone reads out the splashscreen and you can't skip it for that first time

🗣️ ‼️

[frank scarab]

make ivan do the voice over

[chilly moth]

||I do wonder when the blood is gonna come back, seeming like November now||

[dense island]

yaknow now that I think about it

the gore might make battles a lot fast than they already are right?

I mean if you hit somebodies arm it kinda hurts or breaks it but they can still half ass swing it

but when gore gets added

good luck swinging when it's fuckin gone

How did ovrdth get greatsword as a peasant

[opal sundial]

files sorcery

[versed wadi]

I'm not, I am...I think the 3rd from the bottom? I have to see which option I selected one sec

[opal sundial]

@dull condor #halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[dull condor]

thank you

[versed wadi]

4th from the bottom is the one I was selecting

[versed wadi]

ran straight through

[dull condor]

How did he modify the sav file

[opal sundial]

you copy the sav file of your selected loadout out of the game files, then select the tier to want to play in, and replace the new sav file with the one you just copied out of the game files

[dull condor]

No i already did that but to get the greatsword as a unarmored peasant you gotta modify the save file right?

Not just replacing

I tried loading the sav file in a editor and it crash ig the file is encrypted

[versed wadi]

I am having too much fun with this

[opal sundial]

You replace it with your “saved” sav file

the game will think that’s the loadout it needs to use

Even if it doesn’t look like it in the preview

[dull condor]

ik how to play as a armored knight with gs in lower tiers but what abt gs and unarmored

[opal sundial]

not possible

[dull condor]

Ovrdth did it?

[opal sundial]

send the video?

[dull condor]

https://youtube.com/shorts/b9vgNnYBAaY?si=Lu7AOrBucL1FtEsb

[opal sundial]

I’m pretty sure that’s a sword you can get at that tier

[opal sundial]

@loud river ?

[dull condor]

Thats a greatsword..m

[loud river]

In the farmer tier? No

[opal sundial]

hmm

dunno then

but he’s fighting higher tier enemies

[loud river]

He modded the files

Not technically allowed
