Yup, but we testing rn

[fleet stump]

Yes

[tough yew]

genuinely stoked, I still shred in wonder if we're just gonna get blood/gore or a few other goodies. we shall see.

[fleet stump]

6000 new players join the playtest per day, about 10 000 the demo.

[lethal mauve]

We get “that” on this week??

Why is the naked fistfighter such a damn DAWG

[cerulean needle]

he is but soft meat and bone

[lilac nova]

Messing around in the demo cuz why not

[crisp ivy]

when was the abyss demo released?

[elfin frigate]

"how do i win fist fight???"
bro literally just throw him like a frisbee GGEZ

[twin crow]

a while ago idk the date but i think like 6 months ago AT LEAST

[brave grail]

Billhook is the best weapon ever

I will not be convinced

[crisp ivy]

I just figured it out its 10/23

[elfin frigate]

billhook is actually busted in farmer tier

idk about any other tier

[twin crow]

so blood has been added to the playtest now is that true

[elfin frigate]

110% true

[brave grail]

Nah but like in soldier tier? The half-armored one, like 4th lowest, never had an easier time

[elfin frigate]

its actually truer than true

[twin crow]

[brave grail]

Really?

I don’t wanna delete and redownload the game for nothing

[elfin frigate]

im memeing pls dont do anything i say

[brave grail]

Oh ok

[elfin frigate]

people keep asking about blood/gore so im trying to come up with a slightly different dumb answer every time

[crisp ivy]

are you lying?

[twin crow]

LMAO

[twin crow]

i just joined the server to see what was up with the playtest but after looking thru the feedback section i get it

i wanted to ask tho does anyone else struggle with accuracy when using weapons? like usually it doesnt matter but when they're on the ground and you're trying to finish them i feel stupid repeatedly bashing the ground 5 inches from their head

it might just be a skill issue

[elfin frigate]

turn mouse sensitivity way down

[twin crow]

i feel like some type of cursor system would be useful where it shows the angle of where ur blade is going or something

[twin crow]

i'll try it ty

[elfin frigate]

it was discussed earlier today i think. seems common that even the slightest horizontal mouse movement throws vertical swings waaaay off

[twin crow]

ya dude i hit them with the blunt side of my weapon 90% of the time

[loud zephyr]

i like playing no armor long sword but u die and then it takes so long to get into another match 💔

[wind charm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87Ws3rkVbbI

[weak roost]

Balance and posture have an almost equal amount of weight when it comes to accuracy.

There are very few scenarios where you should be looking for perfect vertical strikes. Diagonal cuts downward will do you much better.

[wind charm]

momentum warps accuracy, but that can be used to parry or to hit hard :o

[elfin frigate]

same. if i know i'm dead i just hit esc and exit to menu but that really only saves a few seconds

[wind charm]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NjIqAi9Q0os

this is an example of a momentum based counter

[weak roost]

Yes, but it doesn't take much.

Willies are awfully wobbly

[wind charm]

OVRDTH is a Jedi and I'm the Sith fr

[weak roost]

Same concept, different paths lol

[wind charm]

its actually crazy comparing the difference of how we play

[wind charm]

throwing your fucking weapon is based as nails.

[dense island]

I stabbed him in the head

but he uhhh, yeah

[stoic sedge]

finally hit a throwing axe

[dense island]

niceeeee

I wish we could throw spears

[harsh yew]

how do u throw, ive been trying but its not working well

[stoic sedge]

try using the double handed axe

one handed axe didnt work well for me either

[harsh yew]

yeah

one handed seems cooler to hit tho tbh

imagine it just sticks out their head

cool ass screenshot

[wind charm]

If this game gets online multiplayer, I'd be so down to duel you

[dense island]

who made the parental advisory image of the pic I took? I wanna make it my steam wallpaper

for half sword

wait

found it

it was somewhere else

enjoy this

[floral hedge]

anyone else been doing wrestling/jiu jitsu on mfs

i realized this game was god's gift to earth when i realized i could drop my sword and hip toss someone then beat them to death

[junior epoch]

what do you guys think the class above the fully armored knight is?

[wind charm]

assault riffles

[junior epoch]

bet

[elfin frigate]

power armor and supersledges

[thorny iris]

update?

[elfin frigate]

n

o

[near grotto]

Dragonslayer Ornstein

[junior epoch]

Erm no, all of you are wrong. The devs stated that they aren't adding unrealistic weapons. 🤓

[near grotto]

You telling me a spear is an unrealistic weapon?

[junior epoch]

Something from dark souls isnt a realistic weapon

[dense island]

I'm hoping soon in a later update we can choose what weapons we bring

because lordy scrolling through 50 guys just to get the weapon I want is sad

[junior epoch]

That would be nice

[dense island]

I just want my giant ass axe :<

I JUST SKIPPED OVER IT

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[junior epoch]

lol thats happened to me way too many times

[calm ivy]

Speaking of axes! I just got in this NICE halfswording axe combo:

buh

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/iT54q8XHfxAqFulty?invite=cr-MSxkc1QsMjc5MDA0NjI3LA

[junior epoch]

I dont use the axe because its just too easy of a weapon

I prefer weaker stuff because it gives me a challenge

But muh berserk sword D:

[stoic plinth]

this is how I know I am gonna be COOKED when MP drops

[fast knot]

Add vr

[junior epoch]

sadly there wont be anything like an online mode 😦

i wish there would be

like rdo

but its halfsword

[dense island]

finally fuggin got it again

[stoic plinth]

Wait they aren't doing multiplayer?

[wind charm]

hm ( IF THIS MESSAGE GETS OVER 10 REACTS I'LL MAKE A FULL POLEHAMMER GUIDE! )

[junior epoch]

they are

but it wont be what you expect

from what they told us in the question and answer

[stoic plinth]

I wasn't able to watch 😦

[junior epoch]

yeah

to sum up what they said the most advanced version of multiplayer will be you just playing with a friend

"split screen console"

is what they mentioned

to be exact

[wind charm]

I'll see you all in the esports then

[junior epoch]

which kinda sucks it would be cool if they had match making or smth

[stoic plinth]

I don't like that if it means like couch co-op but if we can invite friends to a lobby or some shit, that'd be enough for me I reckon.

[junior epoch]

yeah thats what it'll be

[opal sundial]

It’s gonna use steam remote play

Alongside traditional couch co-op

[junior epoch]

could you imagine a halfsword online mode?

my frames

dude i can see them already

"40 fps" 🤮

[opal sundial]

Probably even lower

Unless you have a super good cpu

[chilly moth]

Imagine they put in online pvp and there are like 50 warning pop ups you need to click away telling you that the game might run like ass and your pc might get bricked

And then imagine people still complain

[stoic plinth]

shhh don't put the idea in people's heads now, they may complain proactively.

[loud zephyr]

(ignore the first round 💀 💀 )

[oblique hearth]

If i dont get a update next week im cry

[jagged cloud]

What the hell does lock on even do

[opal sundial]

you just said what it does

it locks onto your enemy

[jagged cloud]

How exactly does it lock on is my question

Doesnt seem to do too much

[opal sundial]

its a very light lock on, unless you turn the slider higher

[jagged cloud]

Is it for the camera or like my weapons tho?

Makes sense that its very light tho

[opal sundial]

it makes the camera lock on to your enemy

comes in handy for spear weapons

when you're mostly trying to jab, and holding the alt key

[jagged cloud]

Ohhhhhhhhhh

Shi guess I'm not stabby stabbing enough to notice it

[opal sundial]

you can always tweak it to be more of a firm lock on, or more loose of a lock on

[jagged cloud]

Yeah I played around with it a bit and was able to notice a difference, thanks!

[broken venture]

GUYS BLOOD CONFIRMED FOR TODAY

[oblique hearth]

Nah

No way

Its a lie

[opal sundial]

I doubt it

They literally said “please don’t” in parentheses

It’s most likely a joke

Although, yes, there will most likely be an announcement about new additions to the game moving forward

[jolly gorge]

Poky

[broken venture]

who knows

@fast bramble Please tell us its true

If not we will eat your hands

[fast bramble]

It's true if you believe

Just imagination hard enough and you'll start seeing blood

[broken venture]

Huh

I will belive

Everyone belive

[fast bramble]

Together we can bring blood into this reality

[broken venture]

But will you add decapitations like in demo or only bleeding

With bleeding I am good but with decapitantions it wil be fire 🔥

[restive garnet]

[undone lodge]

lol galaxy removed his "half tuah" thingy

[restive garnet]

No

See

It's still there

Till the update drops

[grave bone]

Hey kinda random but are you guys looking to take on new devs? Got a game tech, art specialization grad friend thats really rearing to get into development

[restive garnet]

At the moment we are not hiring, tho he can write an email to Half Sword Games.

[floral birch]

can i be a janitor?

[grave bone]

Ok, thanks 👍🏻

[restive garnet]

No worries!

[restive garnet]

You don't have to ask for my permission to be something you wanna be

[frank scarab]

half sword clean up crew

[restive garnet]

Oh

We have Willie for that

[floral birch]

i get to clean up the fighting pits

damb

dream gone

[restive garnet]

Sure

You can join willie

If you can handle him calling you all kinds of bad words

[floral birch]

dilly and willie

[restive garnet]

And suddenly tackle you

Good duo

[floral birch]

i work in construction, i can handle name calling

[restive garnet]

Can you handle man handling by Willie doe

[kind linden]

[restive garnet]

Hi new

[kind linden]

Hi gaxalxybman

[floral birch]

aint nothing wrong with little roughing around

[restive garnet]

🤣 hired

[undone lodge]

u make me very happy

[restive garnet]

[neon mantle]

Man omg playtest w blood will.make me v happy

[smoky quail]

Willie gaming

[worldly tangle]

is it just me or are one-handed spears kinda... useless

[barren mantle]

I find enemies having chest plates makes them much harder to use, but you can still stab limbs or maybe wack em in the throat

I like them more dual handed

[worldly tangle]

honestly to me I can barely aim them... they are mostly waving aimlessly. two handed spear has stability, one handed feels like an al dente noodle

[barren mantle]

Yeah

[worldly tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/inflatable-tube-man-air-dancer-wind-balloon-air-puppet-gif-24875468

or like one of these guys

[barren mantle]

Weapons feel really heavy in this game, which is ok, but in some cases it kinda feels like trying to throw a punch in a dream ya know haha

[worldly tangle]

I want to like one-handed spear and shield build but I just can't

same with sickle peasant

[stiff iris]

A nightmare yeah

[barren mantle]

Other one handed like the clubs feel good

The two handed club is my favorite tbh

Just wack people haha, I'm hoping we get customization so I can use one in full plate

[worldly tangle]

is that the spiky two hander? that one is goated

[stiff iris]

The clubs are very good I was playing the other day and I got insta killed by a dude with the metal shovel thing

[barren mantle]

That's the Godentag or smt

And it's mega good yeah

Cause you can easily get stabbed

[worldly tangle]

unironically my favorite weapon in the game for its class is the peasant fork

[stiff iris]

Oh that thing is amazing

[worldly tangle]

I love it so much. you can do some nasty close up work with it in the RMB grip (not sure the terminology there) plus the range and damage are perfect on the stab. I've caught weapons in between the prongs as well, massive seratonin dump when you follow that up with a bonk from the other end

I want to like sickle peasant but it is so difficult to actually get a hit on the blade with the damn thing. It feels like the guy is holding it at the wrong angle and distance to actually get hits in close combat, which is where you need to be with it

[barren mantle]

My favorite is the peasant long Axe, it just feels right, it's heavy, you need to align the edge for it cut but the bludgeoning feels appropriate, really can't wait for it to be able to chop some arms off, in the demo when you hit someone just right it hits different man, and the axe in play test is so much smoother.

[worldly tangle]

axe is def nice too. I think close up weapons need some love though. daggers and sickles in particular. daggers, close quarters arm movement just feels not right whether it is stab or slash

like we're grappling, I have a dagger in my right hand. I want to stab under the helmet or into the armpit, not stick my arm out past him

[barren mantle]

Idk if you've played the demo, but they feel much better in that

Everything else feels shittier

[worldly tangle]

than in the playtest?

[barren mantle]

No it's the demo, it's another game mode

You gotta download

[worldly tangle]

I played the demo briefly but moved to playtest as soon as I could

[barren mantle]

I love the demo

The gameplay is fun

I hope they keep the demo mode in play test next update

Play test is fine but the demo loop is real haha, coming up with challenges and stuff

I'm still trying to beat it with just the candelabra

That shit's so funny

[broken venture]

When I am playing at full armor with sword my only opcion is destroy thei ass

their

[broken venture]

true

[broken venture]

no

Playtest better

They will add gore today

[light pike]

every time someone talks about gore it gets delayed for another month

[barren mantle]

The stabbing feels better in the demo imo

Everything else is better in play test

[barren mantle]

*with small weapons

[broken venture]

The stabbing I can confirm in demo better

[barren mantle]

Idk about today lmao

[broken venture]

A moderator said

[barren mantle]

Yeah idk if I trust them

It's ok we know it's gonna come soon, my guess was it was gonna be on the weekend, or next weekend

[light pike]

yall are being fooled

i will be in denial until it is officially announced

[broken venture]

Look

[light pike]

you are being fooled

[broken venture]

Who knows

Rubber said we have to trust

Who know

[light pike]

i wont believe it until i see it

[broken venture]

@fast bramble Confirm

[light pike]

pinged bro for a trivial reason

[loud river]

She was bullshitting

[barren mantle]

We're gonna see

[loud river]

There is nothing happening tomorrow

[light pike]

i knew it

[broken venture]

NOOO

[loud river]

Bro she literally said “(please don’t)”

It was an obvious joke

[broken venture]

I TOUGHT SHE WAS A MAN

[barren mantle]

Yeah dude like why would a mod leak like that

[broken venture]

Omg

[loud river]

Lady is in her name

[barren mantle]

Lmao this server

[loud river]

Christ how can everyone in here have this smooth of a brain?

I am baffled by this server’s average IQ every day

[barren mantle]

I can barely read her name

[fast bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/misinformation-spreading-spreading-misinformation-online-gif-4543841945782036495

[barren mantle]

This is the kind of server

And game

[broken venture]

We will eat you head rubber

[light pike]

gore is actually tommorow guys willie from halfsword playtest told me

[broken venture]

And your hands

[fast bramble]

Tbf we signed no NDAs, but we're also kept pretty much entirely in the dark

We know about as much as you guys do

[loud river]

If we’re told in mod chat, we keep it secret. WE’RE NEVER TOLD ANYTHING IN MOD CHAT

We don’t get any secret information

[barren mantle]

There's never NDAs for this kind of stuff, I'd expect the testers to have signed none either, just like in other games

[loud river]

We hear the same stuff you do

[barren mantle]

Usually it's dependant on trust and "you get booted if you leek"

[light pike]

imagine if testers had to sign an nda

[loud river]

Game Seer and Half Sword Games staff all signed NDAs though

Anyone red

Maybe not Trucken, but everyone else.

[fast bramble]

Devs have abandoned us to fend for ourselves against the ravenous masses hungry for blood (the devs are actually all really cool people and have not abandoned us)

[barren mantle]

Oh well that's staff, usually play testers don't sign NDAs

[loud river]

True, but that’s cuz they don’t get told SHIT

[fast bramble]

McWonder, too

[barren mantle]

Haha, if you gotta test features

[light pike]

id want multiplayer over gore any day

theres already gore in the demo

[barren mantle]

You're gonna get told. But that's prolly more of a future thing the games young

[wooden socket]

https://tenor.com/view/true-has-been-planted-true-counter-strike-cs-bomb-gif-2516458998739593313

[fast bramble]

Are you prepared to possibly wait several years for multiplayer instead of soon for gore?

[light pike]

ill forget about this game in like a year

tbh

i got poor memory when it comes to the games i play

is modding possible for this game yet

or is it still out of the picture

[smoky quail]

screw the blood and gore update, just make Willie hold his damn weapon properly and I'm happy

[light pike]

willie is just some dude why could he hold a sword professionally

[fast bramble]

9 years from now, you'll hear a voice in your dreams.

A faint voice, yelling something in a gutteral voice. You listen closer, you can barely make out the words this man is saying.

Willie's face will suddenly appear, and he will yell "Dolt". It will echo until you wake up

[barren mantle]

Getting to play test a game you care about a lot is great, especially for this one since multiplayer isn't a thing there's gonna be a lot less uhh.. balance testing

[fast bramble]

We're likely to get splitscreen local pvp though

Since that all runs on one machine and doesn't have to worry about packet loss

[light pike]

i wanna mod in some maps ngl

a colliseum map would be epic

[barren mantle]

That's great but it's nothing competitive ya know

So balanz less important

[fast bramble]

looks at the fighting game scene

But I get your point

[light pike]

bro i would NOT want competitive half sword until the game is finished

there are so many op bugs

spamming x with the spiked kanabo makes it an undefeatable weapon

[fast bramble]

Imagine the crowd roaring, ready to see your epic battle, the match starts. Your character flies off to space because the mace on his hip glitched out hard

[light pike]

LOL

arent they planning on adding kicking or did i have a dream about that

[barren mantle]

It's a physics based system

Competitive or mp would be very goofy

[fast bramble]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOe2aZGvTgk

[tough yew]

we ARE to get splitscreen pvp soooon

[wooden socket]

willie when you knock him down once

https://tenor.com/view/tweaking-me-me-tweaking-crazy-im-going-crazy-gif-11387917049334990341

[fast bramble]

Oh yeah they've outright confirmed it, I forgot

TGS splitscreen battles sounded like they popped off

[tough yew]

yea

they were duking it out

[light pike]

does half sword have controller support yet

it sounds kinda possible

[fast bramble]

That's how the splitscreen works

[tough yew]

in the new update it'll probably have it

[light pike]

I love talking about updates that wont appear for months

[idle crane]

It's does but I believe it's only partial

I don't think PS controller are compatible

[tough yew]

the playtest doesn't have it atm, but the demo used to

[fast bramble]

Btw, forgot to respond to this. There's a handful of mods for the demo and there's a loadout saver/selector for the playtest, but otherwise it's not really supported at the moment. They're possibly open to it in the future, and they haven't shut down peoples' past attempts at it as far as I know, but there's no official support for it, no tools, and the move to a newer version of UE5 made modding a lot more difficult.

[idle crane]

And I don't think all buttons are mapped yet

[tough yew]

new update will readd it better than ever most likely

[idle crane]

You sure? I'm almost certain it does

[tough yew]

yea as I tried to check it out

[idle crane]

Huh

[fast bramble]

Just the thought of a new update has me hyped

[tough yew]

yea, gotta question all the goodies we're getting in it.

[barren mantle]

Remote play togheter might just be fun

If they add the split screen

Ping aside, ofc lmao

[tough yew]

we dont know yet, for all we know it just could be the gore

[barren mantle]

That's fine

I'm not saying next update just whenever

[tough yew]

but there's still some good potential for other stuff to make it's way to the update

slow mo, kicking maybe the new indoor map they showed on that convergence show

they actually showed like two maps

[fast bramble]

From what the QnA showed it'll come soon, but no date on when any of these things will be added.

[light pike]

soon could range from a few days to a few months

frfr

[light pike]

didnt they say very soon for local multiplayer

[fast bramble]

Everything is soon

Even soon is soon

[light pike]

im gonna get time travel abilities to go to the future when half sword is fully released

then just make very ominous posts

[barren mantle]

Slow mo would be great for both training and usually people with shittier PCs can use it to avoid lag

[fast bramble]

We need giant pit

[tough yew]

yea

[light pike]

they should add a last stand type gamemode where enemies come until you eventually perish

basically the demo nvm

[tough yew]

ive been yearning for that for almost an entire year now

[barren mantle]

Th demo in play test would be peak

[light pike]

like the demo gamemode or

[barren mantle]

The gameplay the demo offers is good

[light pike]

ya thats true ngl

[barren mantle]

It kinda plays well with the game mechanics

Especially cause it's not that forgiving, it would be cool if they expanded on it

Rogue like sword

[light pike]

they gotta nerf the small shield tho

ts does WAY too much dmg

[light pike]

i didnt know it was called the abyss

[barren mantle]

That's great

[fast bramble]

I don't know if that was the original name but it's what everyone called it and it stuck

[light pike]

i just thought bro was lowkey blind

[fast bramble]

I'm definitely looking forward to it coming back, the playtest has the best combat but I'm finding myself kinda burning out on the gameplay loop of it, I also want endless waves of Willies

[light pike]

ya it has just as much replayability

[fast bramble]

Just slap me in a 1v30 battle with respawning enemies, performance be damned

[old cypress]

Can't wait for kicking just so I can boot somebody into one of these

[light pike]

me personally id accidentally kick that and break my leg

[fast bramble]

Considering you can knock yourself out by bashing your head into the fence...

[old cypress]

Yeah, in the middle of combat you accidentally impale your entire leg on one of the spikes

[light pike]

ive only recently learned that willie can crawl away when down

[fast bramble]

This is the secret for getting out of the fenced area (that and making sure you defeat your enemy first otherwise it'll scream that you lose)

[light pike]

yeah

i wish i could open the door frfr

Gentlemen, I have the best polehammer montage in the works. Does anyone wanna watch how its going?

[tough yew]

lot of snapping

pretty sure that isn't meant to happen and is getting fixed

[wind charm]

that's a shame, the tech makes polearms fluid and dynamic

it's also hard as fuck

[tough yew]

it'd probably be possible to do such thing, not instantly though

[light pike]

whats yalls favorite class to do btw

i prefer whatever the 3rd one is called

theres still no armor but there is far more selection in weapons

[old cypress]

Second to last so I can use an axe in almost full armour

[smoky quail]

the fact that I have this much hours in the game when there isn't even any progression or goal just says alot about how good it is

[light pike]

how many

i got 52 rn

[light pike]

ya thats the banner

[smoky quail]

I kinda just open the game up and do some matches till I die or some bullshit happens like instantly dying because my face got grazed by a handle

[light pike]

i give me and my enemies max hp to get rid of that issue

[wind charm]

44 hours, all on polehammer :o

[barren mantle]

I like armed peasant for violent fight.
Foot soldier, the one before the first knight for proper.
Knights to git gud.

[smoky quail]

or a blunt pommel somehow goes through armor and it also instakills

[light pike]

knight is too easy for me ngl

i just take no damage and a few punches usually is a win

[barren mantle]

If you wanna style great sword and poleaxe help

[smoky quail]

full plate matches kinda just feel clunky and too much of a slog

[barren mantle]

The normal willies die quick

[smoky quail]

I prefer less armor

[light pike]

same

i like having weaknesses other than low stamina

[fast bramble]

3rd tier, two-handed sword, cone hat for perfect first person visibility

[old cypress]

Most of this is as either top level with a greatsword or second to last with an axe

[barren mantle]

For proper fights I agree but for practice armor really helps

[tough yew]

kinda play with everything

[barren mantle]

My main problem is going from guard to swing

[smoky quail]

I'd play fisticuffs more if it wasn't literally just you and the opponent randomly flailing around till someone gets a good hit in

[barren mantle]

Like after I parry usually the force is enough to knock em out on the head but not as forceful as I'd like to do them

[light pike]

hes a feisty one

[signal quest]

🩸

[barren mantle]

I showed that shit to my friends and it was hilarious

Especially cause if you hit their heads and grab their back you can RKO them

Grapples are so stupid

[grave bone]

Occasional frame drops

[light pike]

i hate shields sm

[fast bramble]

It was added with the last update and hasn't received any fixes since, everything is pretty unoptimized at the moment and the devs are aware of it

So ideally performance will improve with time

[barren mantle]

Buhurt runs good for me

[fast bramble]

It runs good for me but my PC probably just brute forces it

[light pike]

ya same

i got a very high end pc so it just ignores the unoptomization

[fleet stump]

you guys like the lucile ? that's how it looked like back then :

[midnight field]

Damn that thing to hell

[royal arch]

Pierrot:

Writes the most random message with no context
Refuses to elaborate

[fast bramble]

Do you by any chance know what this weapon is called

Goedendag returns results that don't have spikes, but I stumbled upon something called a Plançon à Picot which based on modern recreations looks like it

[abstract geyser]

I just want to commend the dev team of developing some amazingly intuitive player controls. You can get so immersed in the player movements and really create some unique play styles.

[barren mantle]

I'd be so cool to have an evening star

Idk this one's from Mordhau for example

Something like this

[midnight field]

Flail would be mint but it's probably way too hard to do

[barren mantle]

It's probably way too easy to hit yourself with it more like

[old cypress]

With the way physics work in Half Sword it'd be very entertaining either way

[abstract geyser]

The physics would be crazy when it wraps around a limb

both players would probably just explode instantly

[abstract geyser]

Isn't there already a spiky mace?

[old cypress]

It's different

[midnight field]

Yeah fair say your right.
I've always just thought flails and 3 section staffs are cool as shit lol

[barren mantle]

There's a Godentag

And there's only 1 two handed mace afaik

[sweet latch]

I just got access to the playtest... Now im a happy boi

[old cypress]

Congratulations Officer Balls

Why did that repeat

[sweet latch]

they should add multiplayer so i can play with the Jerker

[old cypress]

It's planned

It's unknown to what extent though, rn it's just local split screen

[coral ember]

I must say, that I really hate the AI.

"Might we not finden a path of peace?"
"NOOOOOO!"

[sweet latch]

"Be not the cause of my death"

also how do i go in 1st person

[coral ember]

V

Also "What gain is there in bloodshed?" would stop me from killing someone BUT since there is no blood to be shed murder is acceptable :)

[sweet latch]

I would still rip their intestines out of their stomach

[coral ember]

Is heraldry what decides factions and not colour of clothing?

[plucky lintel]

"for the love of god, do me no harm but let me lieben" meanwhile he's already harmed

[coral ember]

Does he say "lieben"? It means 'to love'.

[raven spear]

They'll cry this out between screams of agony, as a blade is still embedded in their side

[signal quest]

IIRC you can swap out the voice lines with a different audio file

[coral ember]

That would be interesting, though they are already brilliant.

[frank scarab]

why is there a random left over file of the old gauntlet's menu video in the playtest?

[coral ember]

Wasn't that one made in the "playtest" aswell?

Or, the devs' playtest.

[frank scarab]

elaborate

[coral ember]

They have an exclusive version with blood and gore for testing and I think they referred to their version as "playtest" in the FAQ video. I don't think it to be unlikely for the playtest we have and theirs to be not so seperate. But who knows? I could be wrong with my assumptions.

Help. My Willy is being grabbed!

[trail pivot]

this would go hard with blood

[coral ember]

Absolutely!

But where was this Willy impaled?

[daring wasp]

yo is the rumor that blood update is today real

[dawn sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/who-knows-shrug-what-shades-on-idk-gif-15962763

high chance of a no

but who knows

[wind charm]

[sweet latch]

But which mode in the playtest

[wind charm]

oh duels

1v1

[sweet latch]

I don't see it, I only see Fistplay... And Then Carnage

[wind charm]

theres a vertical bar of icons representing classes next to the character

also fistplay is a crazy term

I love Fistplay

Out of curiosity, do you have low sensitivity?? If so are you just flicking the mouse into stratosphere?

[wind charm]

Max sensitivity, controlled chaos 🗿

You swing fucking hard and move faster at the cost of controllability

[grave bone]

Brooo, for max sensitivity your accuracy is wild!!!

I gotta experiment more.

Good content 💪🏻

[wind charm]

I'm slowly working on an in-depth guide of my tech, I pray that the Devs don't cripple poleharm mechanics in the next update

[grave bone]

I just lightly tap willies with spears near the neck and win instantly 🤣💀

Different pole arms tho, harder to get results for me

[wind charm]

Their individual weight and inertia can vary so much fr

[light pike]

why does my halfsword seem way brighter

i do not remember it being this bright

oh my graphics somehow changed to medium

i did not expect to hit that stab

[light pike]

this is so funny

[torpid berry]

Is gore back yet?

Was gone for a while

[light pike]

every time someone asks its delayed for another month

you have doomed us all

[wind charm]

10,000,000 years

i've got Stockholm syndrome with no gore, shit will be so gnarly when they add it

[light pike]

tho if u want gore just play the demo

[pallid verge]

gta 6 or gore in playtest

[wind charm]

hot take

gore in playtest

[light pike]

why did the knife fight back

[boreal smelt]

it's a feature

[light pike]

ur right

evil knife feature

[neon mantle]

Technically speaking its not been present. Never left demo, was never present in playtest

[torpid berry]

Yeah, I know they were making a new system but wasn’t sure if it was done yet.

[neon mantle]

No

[light pike]

i was trying to bug out the menu out of boredom but then willie started dancing

[lethal mauve]

Hahhah bro

[elfin frigate]

omfg te end when you just ascend to the heavens lmfao

[warped onyx]

I can’t wait for the dismemberment. I’m just busting up ppls knees and keep forgetting limbs will get lobbed off with gore

[wind charm]

i just played the itch.io Halfsword (with gore)

the devs are magic workers I tell you

[warped onyx]

May I ask how the player controls/physics compare to the play test? Or is it more loose physics like the demo?

[wind charm]

compared to the playtest version, its like putting a new born baby in a ring with Mike Tyson

playtest is wayyyy ahead

super bare bones, but the devs did amazing progress fr

[warped onyx]

Thank you for the insight I might have to check it out. The play test is so good though.

[wind charm]

i got a clip

lemme find this shi

[light pike]

the itch.io has a cool map right

[wind charm]

YE

ye*

[warped onyx]

DL’ing it now gonna try to get it going on Steam Deck

[wind charm]

don't tell the Polearm guild I used a sword

[light pike]

ya im gonna try out the itch.io version

i really like the maps

oh wait is the itch.io pre demo

it kinda feels like it

[wind charm]

yes, I will dig up pre alpha versions of this game to have gore in my combat

and I will use a sword..

[light pike]

i just wanted a new map to play on 😭

cant even swing vertically

wait you can slow down time in the itch.io version

[wind charm]

ye

the E button

[light pike]

cant drop my weapon tho :(

[wind charm]

this might be a bug

[elfin frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-solid-mgs5-mgs-metal-gear-solid5-mgsv-gif-24773336

[barren mantle]

[crude flower]

Add gore (to the playtest) and my life is yours

[silent gorge]

i disarmed him with a spear

[broken venture]

Rate this photo

foto´*

[broken venture]

Use grimreaper's weapon bro

Using spaear instead of that is stupid

[silent gorge]

his ones stupid

spears fun with light mode

[broken venture]

Light mode?

[silent gorge]

spear feels like a more controllable scythe

uhhh

light mode means not half sworded

[broken venture]

Not more controlable

Just swing the grimreaper's weapon and you will cut in half your enemies

[silent gorge]

but its not fun

reccomend the most fun setup

[broken venture]

Fun

Fun?

If you want to advance use what I sais

said

[crude flower]

Spear beats scythe

[vapid hull]

Poleaxe

[broken venture]

No

[silent gorge]

yeah

[broken venture]

MAN I SAW ONE

[silent gorge]

i never saw a big one

might exist

[vapid hull]

Brother you have described to me a poleaxe

[silent gorge]

we are not medieval nerds :notice

[broken venture]

I saw one like this

[silent gorge]

we suck at describing weapons 😂

[broken venture]

It had head like that

And a big stick under it

[silent gorge]

hm i never saw one like that but it might exist

[broken venture]

Like spear but different head

I have squizophrenia but not like that

[silent gorge]

mandela effect

[solid abyss]

The demo dungeon is so fun and hilarious

[broken venture]

No

[silent gorge]

oh i found it

just in time

[broken venture]

SEE?

I AM NOT CRAZY

Not like that...

[broken venture]

I JUST FOUND IT

SEE

[silent gorge]

i mean rari probably knew it existed

we were just describing it poorly lol

[vapid hull]

That is a poleaxe

[vapid hull]

That is also a poleaxe

[silent gorge]

yeah these are poleaxes

[broken venture]

Bruh

Then I'll search a bigger one

Man

[silent gorge]

these are all poleaxes 😭

[vapid hull]

It won‘t be a halberd </3

[broken venture]

But they're literally in the picture of the highest lever

[silent gorge]

no halberd proper

[vapid hull]

They are not in half sword

[broken venture]

level

[silent gorge]

all halberds are poleaxes but not poleaxes are halberds

[vapid hull]

[silent gorge]

i think you might mean the hammer thing

but not sure

[broken venture]

I found it

Not poleaxe

I found hablerd

[vapid hull]

Thats also a poleaxe

[broken venture]

halberd

[vapid hull]

Send a screenie

[silent gorge]

yeah these are all poleaxes

[broken venture]

Right now

[silent gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-fortnite-scream-fortnite-dance-gif-4795167745947838865

[broken venture]

Look

[vapid hull]

Thats a poleaxe too

[silent gorge]

all halberds are poleaxes 😂

[vapid hull]

They aren‘t…

[silent gorge]

google lying?

man im confused

[vapid hull]

As far as I‘m aware they‘re similar

But not the same

[broken venture]

Use chatGPT instead of google

Trust me

ChatGPT is better than searching it by yourself

[silent gorge]

as far as i know all poleaxes are not halberds but all halberds are poleaxes

[vapid hull]

https://preview.redd.it/igrbs0s2gx141.png?width=1320&format=png&auto=webp&s=f5674629418db813f6b56c9d5d409b4d1c08df2d

[silent gorge]

this is the greatest debate ever

[vapid hull]

This is a diagram that exists

[silent gorge]

oh i see

[vapid hull]

There are far more educated people in this server than me

[silent gorge]

yeah true

[vapid hull]

VASTLY so

[silent gorge]

i just quickly googled it and google said halberds are a type of poleaxe lol

[broken venture]

No

WAIT

[silent gorge]

halberds look more crazy like billhooks while poleaxes look more like hammers

[broken venture]

LET ME EXPLAIN

[astral pollen]

Long slicey-choppy thing.

[silent gorge]

am i getting this right?

[vapid hull]

I would call a halberd a polearm but not a poleaxe

[broken venture]

Ima send ChatGPT so you guys understand it a lot better

[silent gorge]

yeah

[silent gorge]

this guys wrong lol

the reddit one

[vapid hull]

Never trust reddit <3

[broken venture]

Read it all

I did

[silent gorge]

conclusion there is no halberds in half sword 😂

[broken venture]

That text its from chatgpt

[vapid hull]

I‘m not going to read some junk generated by an ai if I can help it

[vapid hull]

There‘s not

I thought there was too

[silent gorge]

yeah me too

its all just poleaxes

[astral pollen]

Halmbarte

[broken venture]

BRUH GUYS

LOOK AT THE LUCK I HAD

[vapid hull]

I‘m pretty sure but not fully confident that half sword predates halberds

[light pike]

pic goes hard

[broken venture]

yes

[broken venture]

bro suiceded

[silent gorge]

greatsword gang arise

[light pike]

no i stabbed him

[broken venture]

ah

Better swing the sword arround its neck

Its smoother

Easier

And economic

[light pike]

i like stabbing cuz it takes more skill

[silent gorge]

yeah stabbing can be fun

the ai cant handle stabbing

[light pike]

ion like spears tho

[silent gorge]

unless they have a chair

playtest is way harder

[light pike]

cuz i cant handle only being able to stab

[broken venture]

I like cutting in half people in demo

[silent gorge]

this halberd discussion was super funny lmao

the amount of second guessing and triple guessing

[light pike]

this guy just did NOT want to perish bruh

[loud mauve]

When is gore getting added back

[acoustic stirrup]

got that curious george outfit

[loud mauve]

The tokyo game show is over isn't it

[light pike]

every time someone asks the devs say they intentionally push it back a month

[loud mauve]

Glad I did my part then

[elfin frigate]

when gore? when gore? when gore? when gore?

[light pike]

hell yeah ask a million more times frfr

[loud mauve]

when gore x 10000

[silent gorge]

why gore

[loud mauve]

There we go it's over

[light pike]

who gore

[silent gorge]

if you ask it too much they reduce the time until gore

[loud mauve]

Not according to monkey

[silent gorge]

we will have it in a week

thanks

[bitter zinc]

Gore is coming tomorrow. I heard it in a dream

Willie himself spoke to me

[light pike]

bro used a spell on me after losing

[silent gorge]

the sword went through your leg lmao

his sword

[light pike]

bro these shield willies are insanely good at defence

[silent gorge]

what were those first two attacks

[light pike]

first one was a barely missed stab and the second was just a slash

[silent gorge]

im surprised none of those took him down lold

[light pike]

oh i gave the enemies max damage reduction

so its harder for me to win

[silent gorge]

ohh

[light pike]

ya thats why im practicing stabs

because they do FAR more damage than slashes

[silent gorge]

the most fun thing is stabbing people on low damage

and then slowly taking it out to kill them

because sometimes they dont die and you run circles around them to grab it little by little out

[light pike]

im so cooked

fistfights take forever with high damage reduction

[crude shale]

Jousting when

[light pike]

jousting would lowkey be a great minigame

[cyan echo]

is there no choking from being stabbed in lung feature in the game

when i do they just seem to bleed to death

[rapid bronze]

thats actually an amazing idea

[broken venture]

Ayo what is the hald sword instagram

I will start making videos in instagram about half sword and I want mention them
