[analog pelican]

almost whenever when i actually manage to hit them by throwing my sword the just deflect it

https://tenor.com/view/dragon-ball-anime-db-laser-deflect-gif-17680491

its very difficult to throw accurately tho so i cant get a good clip of it

[storm dock]

Anyone else experiencing this "force" that just absolutely ragdolls the character when clinching/grappling? Sometimes when I/the enemy goes for a takedown and the characters are locked together there's just a huge phantom hit that sends me sprawling to the ground lol

[analog pelican]

is it anything like this? https://streamable.com/sbs8vj

[storm dock]

Kind of, but not that much of a ragdoll. Like a small expolosion(?) that just sends me straight to the ground

[analog pelican]

was it kinda like this?

[storm dock]

lol I love how you got clips for everything so far, yeah, that kind of force and effect

[analog pelican]

well that clip just there just happend like right now 10 seconds ago

I have found the ideal throwing weapon

i would show how good it is but then i dropped it

[storm dock]

Two handed before throwing or one handed?

[analog pelican]

one handed

and then throwing it from overhead

worked good two times in a row but i had no target tho

now i can test it

missed

missed

missed

missed

im just going to stop saying when ive missed and only say something once ive hit it

[storm dock]

Get a clip too

[analog pelican]

like this?

[storm dock]

Pretty much, then yea so far in this game falling to the ground is pretty much a death sentence

[wooden socket]

wyd in this situation (youre the axe guy)

[polar notch]

bbbbbllllllllloooooooooooddddddddddddddddddddd

[analog pelican]

hope the other guy bleeds out first B)

[heavy lynx]

So there isnt ANY way to enable blood in playtest?

[lavish summit]

To the mods: Just release my game already lil bro

[lean elbow]

Sometimes reason is stronger than death

Not in this case tho

[idle crane]

its like 5% done. let them cook

[static crest]

5% done?

[idle crane]

Also mods aint got nothing to do with the game release

[idle crane]

The playtest is only 5% of what they want to do with the game

[static crest]

like what game are yall releasing? Elden Ring 2?

100 GB?

[idle crane]

It aint COD

[static crest]

oh ok

[loud river]

It’s 10 times as advanced in tech than Elden Ring, tbh

Complex real time physics simulation on multiple entities, objects, fluids, etc.

High complexity AI that is intelligent and capable

[static crest]

so no more enemies jumping 5 feet in the air?

[loud river]

Etc.

[static crest]

DAYUM

I trust yall

[idle crane]

https://tenor.com/view/fnb-get-this-man-a-true-gif-25257480

His name is Willie

[static crest]

thats the story?

[idle crane]

Yep

Or if you want the fanmade lore. Willie is a fungus that spreads spores via get sliced up

[broken trellis]

is there any way to increase the difficulty in the demo, I'm kinda tired of doing peasant scuffles and waiting ages to get to any real armor or weapons

[pseudo bone]

i dont think there is im afraid

[broken trellis]

shucks

[rough leaf]

is there a way to get more blood cause there is a setting slider for it but i dont see any

[cerulean needle]

Now this is some good schizomaxxing i can get behind

Well time to play morrowind for the first time

[soft osprey]

Have “fun” with the most overrated game in history

[cerulean needle]

I mean i played the star wars mod and loved it

wanna play the original

[calm ivy]

I love the Half Sword Trainer Mod! I'd make giant axes that were ridiculously OP lol

[amber thorn]

Just curious, what's your favorite game?

[soft osprey]

Hm..probably Bannerlord. At the least, It’s my most played game next to warband and the original. Though I seriously love shogun 2 total war

[plucky lintel]

decrease npc damage and increase player damage in settings

[soft osprey]

Age of empires 3 is up there too

[cerulean needle]

I got 2400 hours on warband, i can't really get past that with how far along bannerlord is right now in its modding. Its gunna take like 2-3 years probably. CK3 likely gunna overtake that over time with the recent expansion bleeding over into overhauls overtime with landless gameplay

[hushed gale]

Blood is overrated

You don’t need it dw

Number one public enemy of blood and gore

[idle crane]

When did blueberry become #1 beserk hater again

[cerulean needle]

When he was born

I'm of the same mind

[glad flint]

mods ban this guy

[lilac geyser]

Gor is coming.

[sage nymph]

@cerulean needle bannerlord honestly sucks. I got over a 1000 hours in warband and bannerlord combat is just too weird. The mods are substantially better in warband too. The attack and block directionally attacking is just glitched compared to warband

[cerulean needle]

lmao i love the combat in bannerlord much better.

I think a lot of warband vets were seething that you couldn't spam attack animations.

I am 400% better at bannerlord multiplayer than warband

i didn't care to learn warband multiplayer fighting its a bunch of assholes spamming animation canceling

[cerulean needle]

me going into work on the right

frfr

[soft osprey]

lol this is the same energy as “halfsword demo combat is better than playtest”. Warband combat is very obviously not as smooth and less refined. You’re looking through rose colored glasses. I also have like 2-3k hours in warband so it’s not like I’m not a fan of the game, but bannerlord objectively does everything better than warband did. Rightfully so, as warband is like 15 years old now.

[autumn gust]

Someone finally answer this for me. In the playtest, does a quick tap of a left click change your stance/the way you hold the weapon? (Specifically 2 handed weapons like longswords or poleaxes)

[plucky lintel]

i think it does

same for rmb

[autumn gust]

It looks like it, but I also thought that in the demo and it turned out to just be my character not moving properly while attacking

[plucky lintel]

yeah the demo weapon handling is wack

[autumn gust]

seems more like noodle arms, whereas the playtest has actual swings and punches

Yeah tapping rmb/lmb does indeed change stance. not too sure about actual style of swing, like a moveset change, but for things like long hammers it seems to go from a horizontal swing to an overhead.

[barren mist]

i feel like you get noodle arms as soon as you get hit in the head

[autumn gust]

Yeah in the playtest you can noodle out with a decent blow to the head. in the demo it feels like thats more a norm to be a noodle

[autumn gust]

Demo Willy is a flacid willy

Everyone posting coordinated ass moves and these intense fights and im just here swinging wildly

[barren mist]

does anyone know what that thing does when u press R

[autumn gust]

Its an inventory

[barren mist]

i thought sum like that

[autumn gust]

hold Q or E to sheathe a weapon. you can hold a few, and can use R to select a specific weapon. Use left or right click to dictate the hand

[barren mist]

i see

[autumn gust]

Shields too

not all weapons can sheathe. some you just drop instead. atleast in the demo

[barren mist]

do you also have to install / uninstall the damn microsoft visual ++ everytime u launch the game or just me?

[autumn gust]

thats.just you

[barren mist]

aha

[soft osprey]

You’re not the only one but yeah it is you

[cerulean needle]

Use a uninstaller like IObit Uninstall Tool to fully uninstall everything and registry files and reinstall, restart pc, then see what happens after

[barren mist]

i see, will try thanks

i didnt know this game had this big of a community lol

[cerulean needle]

its deceivingly huge

[barren mist]

thought it was just some goofy game

[empty path]

what are yall doing to spice up the game and continue to have fun after playing for weeks/months. Need suggestions

[barren mist]

smoke weed

[west plover]

Sigma moment

Also when is the blood being added back?

I know it's soon

Just curious

[empty path]

seems like never

[west plover]

No well the event ended like 2 days ago lmao

[empty path]

so why wasnt it added yesterday

[west plover]

Idk cause they were in japan? It takes a minute do change things

[empty path]

i didnt know the whole team physically went to japan mb

no update or announcement since july i just figured there working on another game

Naw it makes fighting more fun cause you can like- see how badly you damaged them

[empty path]

a new map would really freshen up the staleness

[fleet stump]

well

we just put some demo and playtest online

not our fault more than 2 million decided to play : D

[empty path]

good shit glad to hear the games taking off

i just played to much lol its my fault

[tacit path]

a new map would really freshen up the staleness

[fleet stump]

also some procedurality of maps is on the menu

[tender quest]

a new map would really freshen up the staleness

are we gonna get a mode or something like abyss tho? i fucked with it hard i just cant go back after the new combat

[tender quest]

they are under NDA, so they literally cant tell you

[tacit path]

oh shit

fuck keep doin what youre doin then ill wait

[empty path]

are we going to be able to do the brave stand with any class in the future

[tender quest]

im sure its killing them that they cant tell us all the good shit they got coming but we just have to wait and see

[tacit path]

its ok halfsword i believe in you

[autumn gust]

truth

[lofty jetty]

So I don't know if it's a known bug already but i went into a game and I got this screen instantly

[autumn gust]

Man I cant wait for gore 2.0. I love the playtest, but the fact that my claymore just got lodged in the skin instead of a head flying kinda saddens me.... hits bong TIME FOR ANOTHERE

[digital dune]

guys btw how long do i have to wait to get playtest

[autumn gust]

SoonTM

[cyan echo]

how do you swing and stab with slight precision and not swing like a maniac instead

[autumn gust]

Smaller movements, and a lot of practice

Swordplay isnt learned quickly lol.

[cyan echo]

when i stop being fast i got smacked with a chair and my guts flung

[autumn gust]

I was just talking about that too

[cyan echo]

😭

[autumn gust]

Demo combat isnt as refined. In demo just flail with 2 knives until the scythe. then just use the scythe

right click when holding it to hold it horizontal. and just reap the grass

[cyan echo]

yea i sent the thingy from steam to get the other version

[autumn gust]

Just wait. I did it before i went to sleep so idk how long

[cyan echo]

do the devs have to check it themselves or is it like steam that does it

[vapid hull]

slower sensitivity doesn't hurt

[vapid hull]

Yes

[tender quest]

the devs do it

[smoky turtle]

goat weapon

[autumn gust]

Is it normal for the character to wander when not moving?

Kinda like switch stick drift. Mainly its with the armored classes, but I noticed when fighting sometimes I move without actually putting in any movements

[cyan echo]

floppy legs

center of mass changes

i think thats why idk

happens to me w reaper weapon

[tender quest]

yes because of the weight, hold shift to lower center of weight and it will spread the feet apart too so you wont move as much

[broken trellis]

How easy is it to get in the playtest

[cyan echo]

think u just gotta wait until devs accept you

you can just sit and wait

[plucky lintel]

yeah

they usually do it pretty quickly

[digital dune]

like 1 day or smth?

[broken trellis]

awesome

[digital dune]

no

im asking lol

[plucky lintel]

yeah

[digital dune]

on steam it said for maybe like few days

blood back?

[plucky lintel]

no

[tough yew]

Soon

[dawn sparrow]

that's the way

[digital dune]

yeah thats me rn

[silent torrent]

How does the stabbing work?

[cyan echo]

damn it is way harder to fight in the test version

[idle crane]

It just takes practice. The AI was improved so he is more difficult

[digital dune]

bru what devs doing it aint that hard to import gore

[tender quest]

do it then

[digital dune]

bet

[silent torrent]

It's not even important 💀

[dawn sparrow]

press alt and move your mouse or double click for thrust

[cerulean needle]

Either really bad bait or ignorance

[cyan echo]

cant you 1v1 swordfight instead of a group

clueless also 0/10 bait

[silent torrent]

Is it dependant on weapon? Whatever Alt does feels different compared to double click sometimes

[cerulean needle]

nice gore babe

[plucky lintel]

to the thread it goes

[fleet stump]

for more check #halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[idle crane]

yeah. The left card is always 1v1 the right card is always group battles

[silent torrent]

The one thing I do wish the playtest had (or future no-gore/blood option) is some kind of alternative impact fx or something

Since sharp hits feel a little weak

[dawn sparrow]

welp pointy end helps. double click is simple stab. alt can give you what you've seen in the gif

[cyan echo]

but the left card makes me do fist instead of any other tool

[silent torrent]

Blunt at least gives a satsifying whack lol

[idle crane]

in the main menu if you press the little pictures on the right you can pick different classes

[tender quest]

Is the blood ready yet?

[digital dune]

better be scared

xdddd

[cyan echo]

so like ones unity ones unreal

the blood was taken out because you want it

[cyan echo]

😣

[glad flint]

more like ones unreal 5 the others unreal 5.5

[cyan echo]

🧟‍♀️

[hushed gale]

Gore isn’t the bread and butter of this amazing game, gore is overrated, combat mechanics are more important, gore can come very last

[tender quest]

record skip ok here are my options either :
A : Parry his attack and finish him with a stab to the chest or
B : Take the spikey stick to the face and roll around on the floor and die...

[glad flint]

counter-point

i am the goedendag

[sick plinth]

stabbing is so fun

[tender quest]

counter counter-point this was the ai's perspective

counter counter counter-point i didnt notice ur wording

[cyan echo]

how do you stab

[glad flint]

the goedendag is better than the goedendag

[silent torrent]

I find it easier to 'stab' with the alt hold than the actual stab on spear-like weapons lol

I keep accidentally switching sides when holding alt

[silent torrent]

And I swear if I double click it attempts to do the stab motion before the weapon is in the right place to

[plush stump]

It's a nice indicator of doing damage, plus it definitely at least for me adds to the game.

[dawn sparrow]

I use double click only when I charge, alt is the way in close combat

[silent torrent]

Mentioned ealier, it would be nice to have some kind of FX if gore/blood is gonna be a toggle in future

[cyan echo]

wait how do you stab after getting in the position

cuz when i do its too weak

[plush stump]

once I found out about the hold ALT method, I have been using it more often than the double click stab in most cases

[plucky lintel]

LMFAO

[plush stump]

you can see the gore if you play the demo rather than the playtest.

[cyan echo]

whats yall best class for sword fighting

[west plover]

Oh yeah for sure! I'm just curious because I like the immersion it adds

[glad flint]

[sick plinth]

hold alt and pan up or down

[plush stump]

what do you mean by class?

[cyan echo]

the characters and weapons

[silent torrent]

I know, I'm saying if there isn't gore, just having alternative impact FX lol

https://i.gyazo.com/87d7e8d43f89bfe458405e4036145111.jpg the one my mouse is pointing too, I tend to do well with the long sword because there are plenty of gaps to hit, and no goateddang opponents, so I can usually get a pretty good streak going.

[craggy ore]

sus like among us

[plucky lintel]

this.

[silent torrent]

How do you even kill people in heavy armour with sword

[plucky lintel]

bonk them till they get knocked out

[craggy ore]

try to stab them in the gaps of the armor just like in real life

[silent torrent]

I tried to actually kill someone, I put away the sword and whacked at their helm for like 2mins lmaoo

[glad flint]

skill issue

[plush stump]

knock them down, when they are on their belly, once you get a little practice, you can pretty quickly stab the armpit or inner thigh

[silent torrent]

Man I can't be that precise with big sword it wiggles too much

[glad flint]

true

[craggy ore]

Switching to left hand with swords gives you a slightly more precise stab and half swording is always a safe bet

[plush stump]

actually I wish it was easier to stab with the daggers, but it's kind of frustrating to finish someone off with the dagger, even though it's supposed to be designed for that.

[craggy ore]

as soon as I can turn the dagger upside down I will use it

[plush stump]

knocked unconcious or just knocked over?

[glad flint]

unconcious

instant eeping

[plush stump]

damn, I rarely get that to happen

[glad flint]

ok what the fuck

like what the fuck even hit him

did i headbutt him to death

[cyan echo]

we ignore the activite windows bc microsoft fucked up on their end so i cant activate it

[glad flint]

yeah u pirated windows

[silent torrent]

Where do you move the mouse to guard like that?

[cyan echo]

nuh uh

[cyan echo]

i have the usb w the home edition

that i bought on the site

i wiped my pc clean then tried activating

tech support was no help too

[glad flint]

ik but it still is crazy that willie dodged it anyway

It's kinda funny I have better luck using these as blunt weapons than swords

[glad flint]

poleaxe is still goated

[tender quest]

finally did it smoothly

[glad flint]

today is not my day bro

wtf how am i missing all these shots

[tender quest]

some of the swords are balanced slightly differently, try switching to a new sword

[sleek bane]

why cant i get out of tutorial

[tender quest]

because there isnt one

[glad flint]

im using a poleaxe

[silent torrent]

You're playing the demo, request access to the playtest

[sleek bane]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

im dumbas

[tender quest]

oh you were using a sword earlier, nevermind then

[silent torrent]

The demo is technically a tutorial but you just run around in the void and enemies show up

Progressively more difficult

[sleek bane]

alr got it thanks

[glad flint]

my guy just cant hit like he used to man

[tender quest]

just sadly looks at the polearm on the ground

[silent torrent]

falls like a sack of potatoes

[glad flint]

didnt even fall

i resisted 2 more hits

then fucking died

[plucky lintel]

could've cut it better

but here's the shocker

[silent torrent]

um

[glad flint]

sex?

[silent torrent]

There really needs to be some kind of deadzone for stabbing

I genuinely need to move my mouse diagonally for it to not rapidly switch sides left and right

[iron stone]

did u tried using alt?

[silent torrent]

Yes

It's more about the left-to-right being way too sensitive

[iron stone]

people when game with goofy physics has goofy physics: 😡

[silent torrent]

Not that

[soft osprey]

Turn down your sensitivity. A lot of people recommend turning it down for smoother swings

[silent torrent]

Will try but I'm already at the edge of my mousepad for a lot of this lol

[iron stone]

If the AI ever figures out to hold their shield to the side it's on it'll be over

this is unfortunate

As soon as I sent this it unstuck and I got hit 3 times in the face

Oh right the other thing that bothers me is just moving forwards when you look down

[soft osprey]

Yeah it has something to do with weight of things or something I don’t quite remember what a mod said about it at one point. But it’ll be fixed

[covert onyx]

this felt satisfying

[frosty bloom]

How yall got blood? Mine doesnt

[covert onyx]

demo not playtest

[silent torrent]

It's the same thing your body does irl if you try and lean forwards without moving your hips

[frosty bloom]

Ahh okay

[silent torrent]

Cause your centre of gravity is too far forward and your body wants you to step forwards so you don't fall over

[silent torrent]

Where'd you get a full set of armour and weapons?

Skill issue I can lean 165 degrees without falling

Fighting against spiky stick is just a desperate scramble to stay out of their range

[plucky lintel]

or to rush the side they can't attack

[silent torrent]

I really should stop running into spears

[plucky lintel]

same

[soft osprey]

No you’re just not committed enough, you have to run the spear completely through yourself so they can’t stab anymore, and then you kill them.

any tip on how to block this well_

[plucky lintel]

ig just move your weapon to from where you think the enemy is going to strike

🤷

im bad at explaining

[cerulean needle]

If you put anything demanding on that laptop the cpu will fry if the thermal paste isn't done well

So i hope it was done well

[covert onyx]

oh it is, every 3 months i apply new paste as well as clean out the fans

[silent torrent]

3 months??

[cerulean needle]

3 months is very frequent

but uhh

cool i guess?

How exactly are you applying the paste?

[harsh yew]

yo when should i replace my paste

[cerulean needle]

If its done correctly usually 2-3 years

[harsh yew]

i got my pc like a year ago and never did it

[harsh yew]

well hopefully it was done correctly 😭

[cerulean needle]

You should do it immediately, as thermal paste jobs from pre builts are never guaranteed

[cerulean needle]

best way to guarantee is to do it yourself

[harsh yew]

dont say that man...

[cerulean needle]

Okay.

[harsh yew]

WAIT

not literally

say more

https://tenor.com/view/cats-kittens-cute-cutie-adorable-gif-16958068

[silent torrent]

Half-decent thermal paste lasts a long-ass time but pre-applied paste is usually pretty bad

Crusty after like 2 years lol

[cerulean needle]

Dont be like the people that apply thermal paste with a plastic scalpel, put one medium sized dot in the center and slowly screw on the cooler mount/heatsink and let the pressure evenly distribute it

[harsh yew]

how do i check my thermal paste

[silent torrent]

Think I replaced mine in my laptop and Switch

[cerulean needle]

If your asking this, you may want to look up tutorials before you do anything

[silent torrent]

Take off cooler, but if you do that you need to re-apply paste whether it's good or not

[silent torrent]

Also yeah, check above

[harsh yew]

alright

might aswell but imma just wait till i know how to do it and also have thermal paste so i dont cook myself

[silent torrent]

Important thing to remember is you're trying to get a sweet spot of not too much, not too little

[cerulean needle]

slightly larger than a pea and do it in the center

Screw in tighteners clockwise gradually, and not all at once

will evenly distribute the paste

[silent torrent]

Thermal paste is actually not great at conducting heat, but the fact it's a paste lets it get more coverage by filling in tiny gaps in material, so a too much is not good (also it's messy)

[silent torrent]

Most laptop boards number it tbh

[cerulean needle]

fair i dont do laptops

[silent torrent]

Though I usually see a star pattern recommended instead of clockwise for screwing in

(go to the opposite side each time)

@harsh yew Also important, get a bottle of somewhat high % IPA (Isopropfyl Alcohol)

[cerulean needle]

70%

[plucky lintel]

i've had my pc for like 5 years now and never checked on the thermal paste

[silent torrent]

To clean off old thermal paste, and make sure to always clean off old paste if you're replacing it

[cerulean needle]

It needs replacing.

[plucky lintel]

most likely

[cerulean needle]

No, like it does.

lol

You are probably running way hotter than you are supposed to

though it can be not so much of an issue with low loads

[silent torrent]

Other than that... Make sure you're buying non-conductive paste? Idk if there's conductive ones nowadays.

Also don't worry too much about the IPA when you're cleaning, it evaporates quickly and the actual liquid leaves no residue

[opal sundial]

im just questioning what inspired you to buy a laptop with a 3050, unless you didnt have gaming in mind at the time

[silent torrent]

Probably not gaming beyond indie stuff? Tbf to the average person 3050 seems like a good deal cause '30-series ooo' so eh

Nvidia's just goofy with naming and advertising

[silent torrent]

Okay fr though how do I use this

[opal sundial]

not gaming at all tbh

the 3050 is actually really weak

especially the laptop version

[silent torrent]

Okay most laptop with a dedicated GPU of some kind can game, just to what extent

My i3-4010U integrated graphics laptop could run 2D indie and some 3D indie games lol

[opal sundial]

an i3 is wild

[opal sundial]

i suppose somewhat

but there's plenty of better options out there for cheaper

[silent torrent]

The only moves you get is 'swing spear left/right wildly' and 'stab' and both of those have a 50/50 chance of doing this bullshit which forces you to switch hands to fix it

[opal sundial]

a 1660 is more powerful than a 3050 mobile

[silent torrent]

I mean you also don't know if they got the laptop used for a good deal, or again, for gaming with mind lol

uhhh which one?

[tender quest]

wdym which one?

[graceful bolt]

o thanks but the 360 sword scope at the start is not?😭

[silent torrent]

Ahh nvm found it sorry

[tender quest]

yeah that was pretty slick

[graceful bolt]

thanks gotta say you did give a preatty accurate statement when you said fighting for my life lmao ill try and change that

[tender quest]

sorry the fps was a bit low so i didnt catch that it was done deliberately at first

[graceful bolt]

its 120 fps for me but the medal is low frame idk why i have high settings in medal too and a high end pc

idk why thats happening

[silent torrent]

Screenshot your Recorder settings?

Even with a high end PC, UE5 is pretty rough on your GPU; if it's getting maxed out it kills the recording

[tender quest]

yes your capture settings need to match your ingame fps setting, having Vsync and capping fps to your capture fps can help

[silent torrent]

Apparently High is 1080p60

[graceful bolt]

thanks ill test that

[silent torrent]

uhhhhhh I don't think so

[tender quest]

and whys that

[silent torrent]

I think it's just that high-GPU use games tend to be assigned higher priority than clipping software

So the recording suffers

You could probably test by changing the encoder device to CPU

[tender quest]

well it'll either work or it wont

[opal sundial]

wouldn’t the quality still suffer unless you have a CPU with a relatively high amount of cores and threads?

[silent torrent]

Depends on how much overhead you have lol

[opal sundial]

especially for a game like half sword

[silent torrent]

Idk how much CPU Half Sword uses though, yeah

Actually lemme check rq

[opal sundial]

it would depend on the CPU you have

thats old ù

[graceful bolt]

but yes

[tender quest]

try a new clip with the new settings

[opal sundial]

yeah im getting about 20 percent usage on an i9-13980HX. So I'd say it should be fine to use the CPU as the encoder

since yours has like 6 cores, right? 12 threads?

[hardy solstice]

does anyone know or is it random

[opal sundial]

1-12 hours

[silent torrent]

OH right, yeah capping your FPS would help indeed lol I forgor

I'm very meh about Vsync though; most gaming monitors have FreeSync at least nowawadays lol

ye

FreeSync is... free
