[fluid panther]

okay wow the buckler is still insane I just got one hit KO'd by one

[remote crypt]

yes

We love willie here. He posts stabs

[valid rock]

I hope EA brings a new game mode, maybe like the demo had
Or some kind of persistent mode like Exanima's arena or We Who Are About to Die has
like you earn money and can upgrade your gear and take different tiers of fights, but it's permadeath

I just want to give money to this project already

[fluid panther]

I just hit the most clean bisection ever and I wasn't recording

curse me, and curse nvidia replay making my game wig out.

[valid rock]

Are you finding dismemberment to be inconsistent on this update? It barely happens for me anymore except when a leg glitches out

[ocean cloak]

(That MUST hurt) Stab

[valid rock]

Also I'm pretty sure the partial dismemberment is currently broken

[fluid panther]

it is and isn't. I can decently often get a decapitation or bisection, but the arms and legs rarely come off

I stand corrected

[hallow oyster]

pain.. this is why i fight

[valid rock]

For me it's the opposite, only arms and legs are coming off and only rarely
I got a perfect downward strike into the center of the head and it only left the slash layer instead of splitting his wig. Idk mang maybe it's just physics being weird

[fluid panther]

might just depend on the weapon, angle, speed...

[valid rock]

maybe I need to swing harder lol

[ocean cloak]

It's stabbin' time

[valid rock]

Have you had any partial cuts today that dangle? Or split heads?

[fluid panther]

only done a few fights so far, had only one decap that did the like, sort of head duplication thing

but it only dupe'd his chin and front of his neck

[valid rock]

Yeah I'm only asking a lot because I'm trying to figure out if it's a bug worth reporting. I haven't had any partial dismemberment in a couple hours now

[tacit meadow]

"so... it is it"

[fluid panther]

I just hope they patch this death menu bug soon

[ocean cloak]

andruw I am on a stabbing streak

[fluid panther]

so if there's half sword chat why are people posting HS in the general chat, I have to ask.

[wind charm]

Using swing momentum to fuel a headbutt

[valid rock]

i think the average person just goes to general chat and never leaves

[tacit meadow]

what do ya think?

[ocean cloak]

Beautiful stab in the neck

[fluid panther]

so used to big heavyily moderated servers that I just automatically go "what channel best fits my current topic in mind"?

[tacit meadow]

kicked some sense into him

[valid rock]

I definitely like when a server is well organized, I moderated the Spider-Man modding server for a long time and once you have 100k people it gets real important

[fluid panther]

he fucking kneecapped me omg

[tacit meadow]

another one for a good measure

[tacit meadow]

how does it make you feel?

[merry dragon]

if youve been on tiktok at like 2 in the morning, youve come across a trend called dark fantasy ai videos
i made this look like it ig

[true zealot]

grabbing this mf by the mouth

[true zealot]

Bite the sword

Giving him a shave

i think i fucked it up

[merry dragon]

i like making screenshots and i like circulating them around the knight you see in the photos

[merry dragon]

except this one is more about the poor soul in the middle

half drunk

[gray vortex]

the game thought you were too good so it had to give you a handicap

[median marlin]

anyone else feel like hitting with knifes and stuff feels a little janky

[wet thicket]

does anyone know how to set up the mod that lets u select ur own loadout

[merry dragon]

ovrdths selector?

[wet thicket]

yea

[merry dragon]

if i remember right i just ran it in admin mode and then when it said somethin about program files i said no

i think running it in admin is the key for it bc running it at default i couldnt save for some reason

[wet thicket]

hmm ok

[merry dragon]

and i looked at the part where it said important

[true thorn]

willie midriff....

[keen mountain]

perfection

[true thorn]

god i wish

[south escarp]

guys, is there a way to fix the view going up if i want to do, as an example, hits from the top left to the bottom right to one-hit cut off heads?
it fucks with the following attacks since now my character is looking up.

and getting him to look down again while holding left mouse button is hell.

it also makes stabbing/thrusting pretty hard, since when i stab forward the character looks up

And what thes the RMB 2x for thrusting do? Doesn't work.

[true thorn]

double clicking with right mouse either locks you into halfsword/two handed position if you have nothing in your left hand or thrusts with the weapon in your left hand if you do

[south escarp]

oh its for the 2nd weapon

still, stabbing with the longsword or anything else is... impossible cause it changes where the character looks - or am i missing something?

[fading bridge]

try to use ur mouse more slowly

[south escarp]

oh sheesh

[fading bridge]

if u move it less it moves only the character and not the camera

srry if thats not what u want

[open kindle]

Nvm nvm

[true thorn]

you got banned from blood sorry

[south escarp]

nonono that's good, that's very good

[open kindle]

New section I didn't see it

[true thorn]

you were using too much they were gonna run out

[digital eagle]

The way im holding his head menacingly

[olive gull]

Can i still get out of bounds behind the fens

[fading bridge]

ok

[fading bridge]

yes

[true thorn]

yeah but you surrender automatically

[fading bridge]

nuh uh

[olive gull]

So that means they patc-

[fading bridge]

gang meeting fr

[olive gull]

Lol

[south escarp]

how lol

[true thorn]

just toss em over smh

[fading bridge]

it took me 30 min

[olive gull]

Im a guy that explores map out of bounds

[fading bridge]

just a chill guy who likes to break the game

[olive gull]

In many games its fun

Theres like easter eggs

Some of the games (yap)

[olive gull]

How dod i even do that

[fading bridge]

i can record me doing it

but it would prob take too long

[open kindle]

cheeky hand swap and got his legs ahahahaa

holy shit that hotfix was quick

i literally had that bug happen to me before the message went out

perfect timing

[wooden spoke]

is center crosshair better or should i keep it off?

[open kindle]

it doesnt show on playtest but in demo it does. i prefer having it on where i can

[south escarp]

it gets turned off for me - always

[wooden spoke]

thank you

[digital eagle]

When they beg for mercy but your in a bad mood!💀

[open kindle]

Boi

[rotund mulch]

Today's update was the best, ngl

[open kindle]

Lot of fixes

No complaints ngl. I have fps improvements too

[rotund mulch]

i hated the loading screen, idk if it was the same for everyone, but i started a timer, it took me 4 minutes to get back to the menu, now its 4 seconds, thanks a lot 🙏

[open kindle]

It took maybe 20 seconds

[rotund mulch]

yeah, same

iam telling you, the moment this game becomes complete, and gets on the market, it will be revolutionary for hack and slash games

[open kindle]

1000%

[rotund mulch]

they are trying out so many new gen stuff, i dont even know what else to expect, they always suprise me honestly. The 'cutting' system works so well, compared to how it was before, or how many games use it

[steep bison]

How’s the new restarting in the new update?

[open kindle]

Good

[steep bison]

Ima go check it out

[lean elbow]

why is my cpu usage on 90 % on small buhurt 💀

[snow kiln]

halfswordians

[open kindle]

Yh I noticed a solid 20fps drop in the other modes

[rotund mulch]

yeah same, but tbh, its a bit expected

[open kindle]

Yh

[snow kiln]

please release a patch where i can play on high graphics without 10 fps

[open kindle]

I'm on high doing fine

[snow kiln]

nah on high i get a sold 20 fps

[open kindle]

Specs?

[gaunt sapphire]

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU HIT THIS FROM FIRST THRUST??????

[snow kiln]

rx 6600 with a core i3 12100k

so it should be fine

[open kindle]

Cpu needs a fat update lmao

[rotund mulch]

i would also like a bit of optimization, but they are probably going for content first, which is fine. They've done that before, added blood, then made it less laggy. So we should probably just be patient i guess

[open kindle]

I have the nvidia equivalent to your rx 6600 but your cpu has 4 cores bro

[rotund mulch]

also, i just CANT WAIT for character customization!! or unique loadouts, jesus.. gonna be one of my fav updates

[digital lotus]

is there a progress in this game?
whats the point rn, just resetting the same fight?

[dapper pike]

yes its a free test calm down

[keen mountain]

[rotund mulch]

[open kindle]

Holy

[rotund mulch]

got a bit too precise

[open kindle]

I had one similar but not decapitated

[tacit meadow]

Bro got cartelized

[woven coyote]

iuhoh

[half timber]

istg i just heard a guy yell a word that rhymes with jigger when i punched him in this game 😭

is that intentional

[open kindle]

@radiant raven yes

[open kindle]

I grabbed a dudes shield and started hacking him

[tacit meadow]

parry this you casual!

[radiant raven]

no i mean in fist play

[open kindle]

Kinda

[radiant raven]

oh ok

[rotund mulch]

i think the biggest issue with fist play is willie's goofyness and aggression.. its like a 3rd grader with a 2 cm wide arm trying to pick a fight

[tacit meadow]

I LOVE STABBING

[fading bridge]

just throw him around and he will act like a good boy

[tacit meadow]

mfw theres a spear in my abdomen

[radiant raven]

willies falled in love

[verbal crown]

I just downloaded and it seems really fun, but why is everything piss yellow?

[open kindle]

got cocky with a knife and karma slapped me right

[gaunt sapphire]

could you elaborate

[rotund mulch]

what do you mean? send a photo please

[tacit meadow]

disposing of the body

[gaunt dagger]

yeet

[verbal crown]

I saw it on itch.io, so idk if that makes a difference

[rotund mulch]

it does, itch.io is a really old version i think

[open kindle]

How what

[gaunt dagger]

Just hold him by his legs and spin

[open kindle]

😂

[rotund mulch]

go on steam, search for half sword playtest, and ask to play, they should give u acces in a few minutes, informing you throught email i think

[verbal crown]

ok ty.

[gaunt sapphire]

why do some weapons knock you out cold just from a slight touch

[radiant raven]

tf is going on with the ai😭

[heady spire]

I paused this one out of sheer awe of what I did to that dudes jaw. He sat there gurgling until I killed everyone else. Love this game so much

[tacit meadow]

what do ya guys think?

[tight dirge]

the best update ever

like frfr

[tight dirge]

bro are you playing paint the town red or half sword why is there so much blood

[heady spire]

I try REALLY hard to make the arena as bloody as humanly possible. I fucking love PTTR btw that's a great game

But the fr answer is I just turn blood up and bone density down in settings. Let's everyone crunch easier

[snow gulch]

i still want a setting for blood to not be cleaned off our guys armor 😭 it'd look so cool

[lilac geyser]

Half sword but you are mentally insane

[grand nimbus]

little bit off the top

[tacit meadow]

"oi mate do you have a loicense for that?"

[rotund mulch]

schizophrenic update

[merry dragon]

im gonna keep screenshotting until i get starboard

[radiant raven]

taked a seat after fight

[onyx pasture]

I really want to fight a big willie

[merry dragon]

im determined
im gonna keep making more

[lilac geyser]

thanks bb

[gusty sequoia]

it would be nice if they ad some type of christmas update (with snow and christmas trees on the map)

[open kindle]

These physics with snow

Oml

[summer pollen]

i wonder what is the biggest reason for no custom battles yet

there was in the itch demo but i wonder why they limit us now (apart from performance)

[open kindle]

Ayo

[merry dragon]

fellas
i present
a very aggressive screenshot

[summer pollen]

present it in photography aye

people be lookin for that type there

[open kindle]

Shiiiiii

[merry dragon]

yeah but this one was for funsies

but i will either way
and i have most of my screenshots here, just look through my recent messages

[keen mountain]

true

[keen mountain]

suggestion to not edit the image that hard next time so that the blood can be seen

i think that makes pictures like that feel better and more aggressive even

[merry dragon]

yeah but i mean you can already tell thats just hatred in that stab

[keen mountain]

very cool

[keen mountain]

indeed yet the blood is hard to see

[merry dragon]

here

[vernal quarry]

Idk cuz stuff that usually worked doesn't work for me now, maybe just a skill issue on my end?

[merry dragon]

i think it looks kinda cool

[radiant raven]

ye mb skill issue cuz i can't even normal grab someone

[vernal quarry]

For some reason my right arm grabs for like a millisecond before letting ago again, aswell

[merry dragon]

also i mostly dont post pictures in photography unless its that good bc theres a 30 minute slowmode

[open kindle]

Rah

[solar maple]

two heads again

[shut hamlet]

dont make the blood disappear
i want to cover the whole arena in blooood

[silk aspen]

bro i hope they gonna add slowmotion like its was in itch.io version

and a loadout creator

[solemn gale]

are there different maps?

medieval english counts?

[merry dragon]

i mean, they did say only english...

[tacit meadow]

didnt specify which time period it should be spoken in

[merry dragon]

go for it

would post this in photography but i still have a slowmo

[tall saffron]

ouch

yum

[vernal quarry]

Why does my right hand keep letting go whenever I grab people but my left hand doesnT?

[silk aspen]

i need slowmotion in playtest ASAP

[idle crane]

Hold the mouse buttons

It helps a little

[vernal quarry]

Alr I'll try that thanks

Seems to work, thanks

[spiral meteor]

is there a way you can change body density in the playtest

[vernal quarry]

You can change bone density i'm pretty sure

[spiral meteor]

but where?

[high lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-eating-gif-23857823

[south escarp]

is there a guide somewhere on how to actually hit stuff?

[jolly gorge]

i'm pretty sure it involved swinging your weapon at the enemy

[south escarp]

yeah, but i want a 100% head cutoff rate

one swing, perfect cut, no waste

[high lodge]

lots of practice

[jolly gorge]

yup

guides don't give you muscle memory lol

[south escarp]

the worst is hitting people on the ground

i can hit you while standing easily, after 6h

[high lodge]

why does this image look yummy

[wheat quarry]

I find swinging in general works very well. It's mostly that thrusting is very clunky and uncontrollable

[south escarp]

one cut

[spiral meteor]

😐

[idle crane]

Thrusting just takes more practice to get consistent with

[wheat quarry]

It's just that with single handed weapons your hand swings way too much to make a precise thrust
Two handed thrusting works better

[tall saffron]

pic on cinematic settings

[merry dragon]

what lmao

[idle crane]

move your cursor so you hold it closer to your body. If you do that the thrust goes in almost a straight line

https://tenor.com/view/world-of-tanks-wot-battle-tank-tanks-gif-22482348

[wheat quarry]

How do I make the cursor appear in the playtest?

[idle crane]

I misworded. There is no cursor in playtest. I meant mouse

[south escarp]

damn we need innards and shit

literal shit - coming out of the innards

i'd love modding that game

[high lodge]

now that’s a suggestion

[high lodge]

I say we need that 🙏

[idle crane]

no

[wheat quarry]

OK Ill try that

[south escarp]

oh god yes

shall it not be a realistic simulation?

i want to hit someone with the undigested food i cut out of his body

[stuck grove]

a kick can kill?

[south escarp]

at what level are steam games on a blacklist?

[merry dragon]

AGGRESSION
IS
KEY

[north crater]

i'm so happy that they are making these little updates like fr

they listen to ppl etc that's really cool

[idle crane]

yes

[stuck grove]

i figured after the third attempt

[wheat quarry]

Yeah it worked much better, tho I do wish I could bind thrust to a separate key instead of double tapping lmb or rmb

[merry dragon]

im pretty sure alt thrusts too

[wheat quarry]

OK I'll try that too thanks

[south escarp]

My shlong is amazing

[merry dragon]

thrust is double tap the mouse but on "thrust mode" it says its alt

[radiant raven]

how to remove shirt in fist play?

[soft osprey]

Yeah they read through all the feedback! That’s why we stress to make posts if you want it to be heard

[idle crane]

Use ALT

[wheat quarry]

OK I don't quite get ALT thrusting
I feel you need to hold lmb first, press alt then, and release both alt and lmb simultaneously?

[soft osprey]

Hold alt and lmb, move mouse to stab, don’t let go of alt or lmb or you stop stabbing

[merry dragon]

filter mode in photo mode where it says rendering

[dawn ginkgo]

is there a way to lock onto a specific body part

[wheat quarry]

Yeah this worked really well

[north crater]

I love this man, they actually care for the game

[merry dragon]

ok bear with me here
ive got a different screenshot style

i think it looks pretty dope

[south escarp]

Hidden Village moved unlocked

oh wow i found the perfect move

long-sword in grappling mode, move the sword that you hold between your hands over the head of the victim and then hug him

[merry dragon]

oh yeah thats been a thing
its called the death hug

[south escarp]

i love this game

[merry dragon]

this game loves you

[stuck grove]

lmao

[south escarp]

you don't even have to hug

just trying to hug him cuts off the head

[stuck grove]

his hand is still attached..

[merry dragon]

die die die die die die die die die die die

[stuck grove]

by magic

[wheat quarry]

So by learning the right way to thrust, I realized AI doesn't actually thrust, even with spear... Or at least they don't seem to thrust often

[south escarp]

Now kiss

[merry dragon]

i think ive posted too many screenshots and i feel like i aint even achieved anything

we gotta get LOUD.

[south escarp]

brah if this had multiplayer

[stuck grove]

best kick i did

[south escarp]

but didnt the dev say that mp is not planned?

[stuck grove]

its not planned and would be too difficult for a physics game to have

so its not too expected, but it would be nice

[south escarp]

hmmm

too difficult you say
is that a challenge?

[stuck grove]

for the devs.

because there are many things to know in multiplayer, one of them woulb be lag

imagine cutting off your friends head and in his screen hes perfectly fine

and that is just one example

[south escarp]

the 20ms lag is not that extreme
mirroring the same simulation, that's the harder part

if both players just send the input and the server does the actual simulation - which in term just gets rendered on the clients - that should be possible

but i don't know that much about multi in UE5

[merry dragon]

man i really like making screenshots

[stuck grove]

for me the lag would be inmense

and because of that i could literally be dead and alive at the same time for everyone

[south escarp]

you'd have the same problem in mordhau in that case

[stuck grove]

i do

[south escarp]

wtf?

never had them, but have perfect internet

[stuck grove]

but mordhau and this game are completely different

[versed moth]

where are photos made with photomode saved?

[stuck grove]

i once put in a guy 23 spears in his head in that game

[fading bridge]

in the album

i think u need to press G or H when in photo mode to open it

[south escarp]

physics based vs not, the important part are the physics (ok, can't be client rendered, else different outcomes) and the input

[versed moth]

ok, thanks

[stuck grove]

the example of mordhau or games like that is that their physics is not the same than half sword, half sword physics have the slicing thing where u can cut limbs in different ways, mordhau and those games u can cut limbs in specific ways

[south escarp]

yep

[spiral meteor]

does this pic go hard

[south escarp]

it's still just cut off points, just more

[stuck grove]

and not everyone has a 2000$ gaming pc like yall

im too poor for those shit

[south escarp]

can't even play on my 3000$ machine on ultra

but that's a UE5 thing, try playing stalker

[stuck grove]

exactly, and i have a laptop.

[south escarp]

looks like a game from 5 years ago and runs like shit

[south escarp]

even Metro look better and runs with 240fps on my machine

[spiral meteor]

no more children for you

[stuck grove]

for me, metro runs, but thats it, after 5 minutes the game can easely crash

[spiral meteor]

cinematic runs dogshit on my pc

[stuck grove]

im surprised i can even play half sword

[south escarp]

jesus guys

[stuck grove]

the damn bot tried to kill me while i was chatting lmao, he died

[south escarp]

completely forgot what a beast of a machine i have

[spiral meteor]

i literally have an intel core i7 14700k paired with an nvidia rtx 4070 and it's still laggy af

[stuck grove]

nicee

i got i7 and idk what more, because is a shitty laptop that can run minecraft at 30fps

[floral swift]

anyone know how to get better gore on the playtest, im at the max level of gore but i dont get the same results as people in #photography📷

[south escarp]

luck

it's luck

[mossy egret]

can we get replays

[floral swift]

oh thanks

[mossy egret]

or an axe

[stuck grove]

i cant do more photography sadly, so

what yall think about this kick

[mossy egret]

i wanted to cpature the moment it stabbed but i was not quick on my fingers

so i want replays

[spiral meteor]

shit looks like it's from a jackie chan film 😭

[stuck grove]

just record.

[stuck grove]

lmao, looks like u acquired jackie chan 2% of skill

[south escarp]

that should be one of the images on the steam store page

[spiral meteor]

the game bugged out but i captured this image

[stuck grove]

nice clothes

[mossy egret]

yeah i should just record

[stuck grove]

indeed

he sees

[south escarp]

dude's still alive and kicking

[jolly gorge]

I actually really liked this

[spiral meteor]

bro stole his pike 😭

[tacit meadow]

looks like ghost stance filter

[stable holly]

u gotta hit that sweet sweet artery

[tacit meadow]

what graphic setting?

[floral swift]

the sweet sweet artery

[gray vortex]

high + reShade

[south escarp]

Mhm. Art.

[mossy egret]

axe always works

[stuck grove]

not as protected as he would think

[spiral meteor]

ouch

[mossy egret]

his shield did not infact protected him

[south escarp]

we need chinese glaives and katanas

[stuck grove]

he owe me money

[mossy egret]

had one funny one where the guy stabbed himself

[spiral meteor]

probably not but what we do need is early arquebuses and crossbows

[void rune]

Hello people, does anyone know how to solve the problem with the crash of the game - Low Level Fatal Error [File:D:\build++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\RenderCore\Private\GlobalShader.cpp ] [Line: 808]
Could not load section 0 (of 301) of the global shader map. And yes, I tried to launch the game via dx11 or dx12, but it didn't help!

[spiral meteor]

probably not arquebuses but crossbows are good enough

[tacit meadow]

i use high graphic settings cus epic and cinematic eats my frames

[modest blade]

i just started playing did the tutorial anyone know how i get out of this place and go to arenas and stuff

[stuck grove]

ask it on steam

[dire heath]

face off

[pearl crater]

what kind of settings do yall recommend for sensitivity aand locking on. its been a little too high or low.

[dire heath]

that was brutal

[stuck grove]

there are 2 versions, Demo and playtest

[tacit meadow]

apply for playtest

[modest blade]

ty

[spiral meteor]

he thought his shield could save him

[pearl crater]

entrails? nice

[mossy egret]

wished the playtest gore was as good as demo

[south escarp]

it's better

[stuck grove]

we dancing

[mossy egret]

yeah the slicing is nice but i want my skeletons and entrails

[stuck grove]

everyone has his likes and dislikes, some people like more Demo gore

[mossy egret]

i have cut people in half a lot of time and no entrails or skeleton have came out

[south escarp]

oh the entrails

[gray vortex]

buffoon

[south escarp]

i forgot the entrails

i want the entrails back

[stuck grove]

thats true, entrails was nice

[tacit meadow]

that kick is BRUTAL

[south escarp]

still want them to shit themselves

[stuck grove]

i want to be able to choke willies with entrails tho

[vital girder]

My throw had the game thinking for a bit

[stuck grove]

willie forgot he was willie for a sec there

[tight dirge]

when is someone gonna make a slow mo mod for this game

[sturdy jolt]

It's called Cheat Engine

[stuck grove]

idk, but if they jus add it in the future it would be also nice

[vital girder]

Didn't the void version have slowmo or am I mistaken

[spiral meteor]

something i made in like 5 minutes

[keen garden]

Use IGCS

[tight dirge]

tf is that

[solemn saddle]

I just pulled out this entire guys foot along with the bone like a fuckin chicken wing lmao

[keen garden]

Its in otis_infs patreon, its called unreal 5 universal IGCS thingy but, u need to pay for it

[south escarp]

that's why they fight so bad

[keen garden]

it makes u able to change thr game speed aswell with a hotkey to toggle it

[dire heath]

[coral warren]

How do I save loadouts in OVRDTH?

[tacit meadow]

what weapon

[sweet moth]

just discovered something really funny, you can flat out just knock yourself out on the starter dummy

this dummy is kicking my ass

[atomic isle]

he merely decided to not attack me after i made him drop his weapon and after war... there is love :3

[jolly gorge]

had a dude surrender on me

[delicate coral]

how do you go in camera mode

[jolly gorge]

c

f for free cam

[delicate coral]

thanks

[atomic isle]

i personally would love to see more mechanics that allow you to show your honor towards other people. I like making them unarmed and letting them live unless they decide to grab their weapons again. I will wait for them to get on their feet and then continue the fight

[scenic belfry]

What more mechanics could they add? You can kind of just do that reliably by turning down the damage you deal to npcs so they’re more likely to get up

[naive tundra]

clean parry into a leg chop

[atomic isle]

you are right... but wait. you can do that? :O

[scenic belfry]

Yes in the game settings!

[jolly gorge]

Fig

[coral warren]

my guy stood no chance

[jolly gorge]

got the whole mf sword in you

[coral warren]

nah thats not me, had to end his missery

[jolly gorge]

good man 🙏

[mighty bridge]

there is no gain in bloodshed

[desert dawn]

why every time I load the game my graphics settings are set to Low and not saved? and in GameUserSettings.ini changes do not affect anything

[atomic isle]

thank you good person

[coral warren]

NAH

[atomic isle]

what is body density?

[coral warren]

POOR GUY

[high lodge]

@jolly gorge i hope this helps

[naive tundra]

dont know why this is so funny to me

[coral warren]

I get a error when I try this

[thorn stream]

Umm

[jolly gorge]

this is finna be the cleanest kill

[high lodge]

what kind of error

[high lodge]

ok im just gonna assume it’s because you have it in program files

[coral warren]

smh

[high lodge]

move the loadout mod thing from program files to the download folder

[jolly gorge]

ahh, wonderful! thanks 😄 I was just messing around in notepad++ with the save files for the loadouts themselves, trying to manually copy and paste the weapon from one loadout into another loadout, but this works great, sweet!

[high lodge]

thats what i did

[dapper coral]

question, does dynamic cutting currently work?

[high lodge]

yes

[dapper coral]

I tried cutting many times but i only managed to cut someones arm only two times and nothing else

[jolly gorge]

"Rest, soldier."

[high lodge]

must be the weapon you’re using

[soft osprey]

They made it more difficult to dismember so you can’t slice through like butter. But it’s still doable

[void viper]

Ouch..

DPI probably

[tacit meadow]

when did they?

[soft osprey]

The first patch after blood update

[jolly gorge]

Holy shit.. Stabbing Willie's stomach, having the sword stuck in them then kicking their stomach to get the sword out must be fucking painful for the Willie.

[dapper coral]

I saw some clips of cutting an opponent clean in half in one hit

[tacit meadow]

oh well

i guess we not cut

[jolly gorge]

no it's not DPI

it's FPS, DPI hardly changes the game's physics, it just makes it easier for explosive movements like spinning attacks

[naive tundra]

he go so stressed his head blew up

[void viper]

Which direct version is better to use, 12 or 11?

[loud relic]

11 helped me with performance

[silent gorge]

12 for looks 11 for performance

[void viper]

I switched to 12 and my pc started making devils noises.. 💀

[jolly gorge]

its like he got shot wtf

[naive tundra]

its even funnyer because after i killed the other guy turns out he lived

[frigid tendon]

thank you for fixing the restarting lag thank you for fixing the restarting lag thank you for fixing the restarting lag

[worldly timber]

He's too hard to beat

[stable holly]

i genuinely think it needs to be tweaked

[shadow sorrel]

NAH

[violet mortar]

this game got weapon tier?

[shadow sorrel]

its like the only weapon in low tier that does damage when you lower the damage to lowest

[worldly timber]

execution goes crazy

[elder tendon]

swords are way too strong

even in full plate its like if you look at them the wrong way you get cut and bleed out instantly

[shadow sorrel]

(damage settings) are we a joke to you?

[pine hare]

Lmao

Yeah I play with damage turned way down

[elder tendon]

I dunno, changing that stuff feels like cheating to me

[pine hare]

It's not cheating to tweak the game to be more fun

with the tools the devs gave you

[elder tendon]

It still doesn't change the fact that swords cut way too easily at all levels of play

[viral panther]

Sadly it makes blunt weapons useless :<

I miss bones

[shadow sorrel]

yeah i miss bones too

[pine hare]

Yeah but with damage turned way down, you have to slice a guy many times to win.

Yeah it nerfs the hell out of blunt weapons unfortunately

[soft osprey]

Post in #1047240101152960525 if you want your words to be actually seen

[elder tendon]

I like having lethal combat though

So lowering the damage isn't really a satisfying solution either

[pine hare]

you still get clean dismemberment at this setting

[elder tendon]

Thanks, I'm mostly just griping, I'm sure it'll get improved eventually

[pine hare]

I dare you to try it out Dunk

[elder tendon]

Yeah I'll give it a shot

[pine hare]

It's at a level where you can cut someone's hand off and they'll keep trying to fight

which i think is somewhat realistic in life-or-death scenarios

God it's so satisfying to get a piercing strike and kick the enemy off your blade

[elder tendon]

I was just worried it would make it so clearly fatal wounds wouldn't actually end a fight

[pine hare]

Yeah sometimes, but more combat is more fun, to me.

Like I said, you still get clean decisive blows, you just gotta be more accurate

a deep slice across the chest or arm wont end a fight. Even impaling someone in certain places won't kill them instantly. They'll fight on until they bleed out

[elder tendon]

Hmm

[elder tendon]

I'll try it out for a bit, see how it feels

So far, so good lol

[rotund kayak]

impact frames

[elder tendon]

I will say picking up weapons seems to be way less functional

[pine hare]

Yeah it's finnicky lately

[elder tendon]

Something might've broken there

[pine hare]

I notice switching another weapon into that hand then unequipping it works sometimes

[elder tendon]

With the axe I was using in that screenshot it's almost impossible to pick it back up

It also keeps flying out of my hand

[pine hare]

oof

[elder tendon]

Something is definitely wrong there, have to keep surrendering because my weapons are randomly flying out of my hands constantly lol

[shadow sorrel]

I TOLD YOU TO DISARM THEM AND DEFEAT THEM NOT CHOP UP THE BODY

[rotund kayak]

theyre missing arms and legs now :3

[long nebula]

canb anyone tell me how this attack works? so how do i activate it? sometimes it just activates

[shadow sorrel]

might be alt or double click

[pine hare]

Yeah double click more than likely, bc I don't think you can pull the thrust back without using alt?

[shadow sorrel]

i mean depend on the weapon in my opinion

[high lodge]

kbity

[elder tendon]

Yeah... the weapon dropping is becoming a problem.

[pine hare]

damn wtf

[elder tendon]

It's happening almost every match and then its impossible to pick my weapon back up.

[pine hare]

did you rs the game?

[elder tendon]

I'll trythat out

[viral panther]

Has anyone knocked out an enemy by headbutting them?

[elder tendon]

I've come close before at the start of a match, both heads collided and we started wobbling around

[viral panther]

Almost knocked myself out but I just did it

[shadow sorrel]

yeah i knocked a enemy out by running the onto the fence

[pine hare]

Yeah I've run in with my head down, hit a headbutt and a leg kick at the same time, and they were so dazed the kick just took them off their feet and dumped them on their head, knocking them out

I love how the game (maybe unintentionally) simulates how being dazed with a blow to the head makes the legs all jelly and easily swept with a kick.

Like the feature was already there but the kick unlocked so many possibilities

[ruby glade]

Meaty parry

[pine hare]

audio only?

[pine hare]

oof

[pliant plume]

my sword....it is out of reach

[chrome gust]

got his ass

[chrome gust]

my opponent...he is out of reach

[supple crystal]

worst weapon in the game and it's not even close

[coral warren]

Should I?

they should improve first person tho

[supple crystal]

1h maces are genuinely unusable

theres no technique or finesse, they simply do not work as weapons

like theres physically no way to get an aimed swing off, it just flails in random directions and harmlessly slaps enemies

[pine hare]

Is he ok?

[worldly timber]

He's too strong.

[sharp quiver]

no damage is so cool (yes half his skull is showing)

[supple crystal]

small candelabra is unironically a 10x better mace than any of the 1 handed maces

[coral warren]

damn

[stable holly]

bro the wrist shield is so good

[indigo carbon]

The metal gloves are kinda op, just block's slashes

[indigo carbon]

Basically a better fist in every aspect

[stable holly]

i mean theres gauntlets in low tier spoilance

but yea the shield is very good

[supple crystal]

man even 2 handed this is still the worst weapon in the game

identical input will give you 15 different swings

[indigo carbon]

Straight up a skill issue

[supple crystal]

same input different result is not a skill issue

[indigo carbon]

It's not a same input obviously

[supple crystal]

it is the same input, the problem is that willy has the arm strength of a toddler and can't control the mass

[indigo carbon]

You gotta work with the games physics

[supple crystal]

i do, there's nothing that can be done with these maces, they are not usable

spiked maces can at least puncture, this one is trash, period

[indigo carbon]

You're just bad at using it

You can knock out in like 3 swings

[supple crystal]

well yeah, when half of my input is thrown in the garbage because willie's arms don't work, it's hard to be good at using it

[indigo carbon]

Or less

[supple crystal]

i can take them out in one headshot if it simply lets me swing it horizontally and doesnt flop in a random direftion

[indigo carbon]

Stop blaming willy strength,

[soft osprey]

Blunt weapons were nerfed, it’s known maces are far weaker than they were before, especially depending on how you have your player/npc damage. They’re still useable though, for the most part

[supple crystal]

the damage isn't the problem, the complete inability to get consistent swings off is the problem

[soft osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-urge-resist-cat-gif-25536160

[supple crystal]

i can literally land headshots with the large candelabra better than this floppy piece of trash

"i learned to put up with the shittiness" is not the same thing as "it's perfect"

[stable holly]

yea because the candle holder is op

[rain steeple]

and just to let lyk, i just tried it and it seems the mod is very outdated from when i last used it and doesnt work anymore

[supple crystal]

no human being has that much trouble controlling mass in their arms that it oscillates 45 degrees back and forth just trying to swing horizontally

[indigo carbon]

It's really not that bad lol

[supple crystal]

going slower doesn't help, the exact same movement moves the mace in a different place

[long nebula]

ok

[supple crystal]

it really is that bad, i dominate with every other weapon but those maces are not usable

same input different result is not fun gameplay

[worldly timber]

getting rocked with a stool is crazy work

[silent gorge]

no

even one handed you can wrap your arm around a persons head easily with it to get knockouts or takedowns

[supple crystal]

"easily" it flails in random directions my dude. there is a gulf the size of the ocean between my mouse and what the mace does

[fleet isle]

Blunt is good you just have to play to its strengths

[silent gorge]

the flail helps 😭

[soft osprey]

The game is in pre alpha. If you want your feedback to be heard make a post in #1047240101152960525

[supple crystal]

once again, feedback is not read, i've already posted feedback in there that got 0 views and 0 comments

shutting down valid criticism with "skill issue" is a good way to make your community a toxic shit place

[winter wasp]

I mean, any weapon in Half-Sword has some variation when you try to swing straight down for example, it'll always go slightly in one random direction, but it's pretty controllable.
From my experience the maces aren't going in whole opposite directions when you swing though, they just have that slight "variation" to them.

They're really not that bad.

Longer maces like the one you sent a screenshot of are just a little harder to control though, since i'm guessing there's a little difference in the center of mass, but man, it's usable.

[long nebula]

how did it not work for you? it started the game normally for me and the menu looks like in the guide

[worldly timber]

The candlestick is the best weapon is spoilance.

[fleet isle]

Candlestick has been goated since the demo

[worldly timber]

real

[silent gorge]

im not sure what the problem is
even one handed you need some good timing to get consistent swings
i personally had some trouble but got used to using that mace and the flail is advantageous for wrapping your arm around a persons head

[indigo carbon]

Candle sticks in the playtest are evne more op

[supple crystal]

i've already told you what the problem is

there is no consistent control of the vertical angle of the mace no matter how consistent your mouse movement is, it will flap up or down randomly

[indigo carbon]

They were op in demo because of the instant blunt force trauma now they mess you up with the massive hitbox

[brazen gyro]

try dual-wield stool too

[indigo carbon]

You just seem to not be that giod

[supple crystal]

man shut the fuck up

[rain steeple]

Must’ve did something wrong on my part oops

[pine hare]

If you get knocked down and won't stand up, sometimes holding give up for a second makes you whip around and try to get in that crouching surrender position

[pine hare]

that and the kick can push you away or make you roll

[long nebula]

ok i just tried and i think everything works normally (didnt find anything not working yet)

[lament seal]

Same

[silent gorge]

i dont mean to beat up on you but you are just showing attitude and ignoring of whatever the other party says no matter what they say when when you are blatantly wrong or lacking info regarding the uses of something

[soft osprey]

Feedback isn’t read..yet we got three patches back to back..due to player feedback..

Silly man

[supple crystal]

yeah really obviuos stuff that many many people asked for

if it's one person it's ignored and buried

[soft osprey]

What does that tell you?

[supple crystal]

you're literally not reading anything i say and you haven't even approached making a point

[supple crystal]

that the devs don't read feedback like you insist they do

[fleet isle]

Holy yap 😭

[soft osprey]

No, it tells you that if youre the ONLY one with a problem, it’s typically..on your end..

[silent gorge]

man this guy must get so much pussy

[supple crystal]

yes, if i'm the only person to notice a problem, it must not exist

[soft osprey]

I mean there’s 60k people here and 3 million have downloaded halfsword, but you’re the only one who discovered some secret bug, still? Goodness gracious

[silent gorge]

no the flails are fucked up but theres uses for the flails too
you are just showing unnecessary amount of attitude and the swings can be controlled

[odd kiln]

what are you looking at?

[supple crystal]

you're delusional

[strange marten]

painting

[soft osprey]

Says the only man with this issue

[visual estuary]

Has Mordstreich already been suggested? I'm sure it'll get added anyways. Unless I'm just missing it

[soft osprey]

Not sure, you’re more than welcome to make a post in #1047240101152960525 though. Because devs DO read through all the feedback

[silent gorge]

the flailing is way too much i agree but you are wrong about swings being too unpredictable as you say but you should keep spamming feedback or #1262488181035630634 if you feel your stuff isnt being read by devs

[soft osprey]

Well let’s not spam but yes, make a post.

[visual estuary]

Will do, just didn't want to make a duplicate post

[silent gorge]

we can ban him that way

oh not you memento lol

[tough yew]

you mean mordschlag? the technique where you use your longsword the opposite way and hit people with the guard?

yeah it has been and will probably be defined later on

[visual estuary]

Either word works, but yes

[silent gorge]

cant you already kind of use it

[visual estuary]

Cool thanks!

[silent gorge]

just go half sword and swing with the guard lol

[tough yew]

not exactly

[merry nexus]

Got my head cut in half so hard my game crashed!

[sleek gull]

oof

[versed wadi]

I think the feedback absolutely is read. I have been playing the Half Sword demo and playtest for quite some time now; roughly 171 hours between the two of them which isn't bad for what this game is.

Having said this, and defended the devs here; I absolutely agree that the controls are not the most precise right now. Not having the crosshair from the demo is a huge L imo, because that helped me control my swings a LOT in the demo. I don't know why it's gone on the playtest, but that absolutely would help people get used to the very much wonky swings the game sometimes does.

You can think your swinging at the right elevation for instance; and there's no indication you are off on the aim, and you still swing lower than intended. The more you play the less often this happens--but it still happens and that is the problem.

The person complaining about lack of feedback is incorrect in that part of the statement, but the feedback itself is 100% spot on imo.

[tough yew]

feedback is read idk what that guy is on about

[versed wadi]

Yep, 100% it is, I've seen the changes in the patches to indicate it

[rotund kayak]

yo check these impact frames out!!!

[versed wadi]

But that doesn't mean the complaint itself is invalid; I've experienced exactly what he's talking about with more than just the maces, honestly. It doesn't stop me from playing, mind; but it can be frustrating sometimes.

[tough yew]

yes of course

[silent gorge]

that guy was super frustrated with the game and just blatantly misinforming people lol

[merry nexus]

Worth the crash

[winter wasp]

Thing they could do in the next update is just make it an enableable feature in the settings menu, name it something like "directional helper", you get the jist.

Would be a pretty neat feature to add but some people would get pretty upset if they had to have a crosshair on their screen while playing

[versed wadi]

I'll use my fav polearm as an example. Spikey club boi. That thing will sometimes, inexplicably, swing low. Even though the position of the weapon doesn't indicate your'e aiming low. Having the crosshair back would fix this.

[versed wadi]

well you could make the crosshair a toggle tho

[winter wasp]

That's what i'm saying

[sleek gull]

A small white dot would be perfectly ok with me

[versed wadi]

Yeah just something to give an idea of where the elevation of the weapon is

[tough yew]

he should simmer down and do something else then

can't expect a pre alpha that's free and getting regular updates to be perfect

[silent gorge]

i totally get how angry he got
he was grinding half sword too angrily after playing the demo i feel like

[versed wadi]

lmfao, bullseye

[silver bronze]

anybody struggle with thrusts in the game? can't stab people accurately

[tough yew]

been grinding HS since itch io

[silent wasp]

in my experience it takes a while to get down correctly then once you figure it out its pretty easy

[sleek gull]

It isn't as reliable as one would expect. But when used at the right time, it can be very effective.

[stiff radish]

is there a way to make it a 3v3 everytime?

[soft osprey]

I don’t understand how anyone can get angry over the physics of a game 5% complete. It’s not even close to that serious

[versed wadi]

dude how tf are you such a god when it comes to throwing

[soft osprey]

My rule of thumb is, if you’re not having fun and start getting angry, stop playing. It defeats the purpose of video games.

[versed wadi]

Yeah, I have my gripes with it, but I just assume that it will be more polished on release

[sleek gull]

I don't know what nerve I cut, but I'm pretty sure I broke this Willy.

[silent gorge]

me when i leave a competetive enviroment to enter another competetive frustrating enviroment

[versed wadi]

I think some people forget this is a playtest and not even early access yet.

[winter wasp]

Properly disarmed

[real monolith]

He do a little dance

[worldly timber]

if this guy dies i will cry

[warped python]

idk practicing

[versed wadi]

😂

[sturdy jolt]

I like autoblock, but I definitely think it needs to be an option. It becomes impossible to properly use certain guards because autoblock will incorrectly move the blade

[versed wadi]

When you win, but you get absolutely fucked up in the process

[elder tendon]

anyone else feel like blunt weapons don't do anywhere near enough damage?

Also I can't believe people play this in first person, it's way too wobbly. Wish there was a smoothing option

[worldly timber]

im gonna cry

[versed wadi]

For me it's hard to get a solid hit with a blunt weapon

[real monolith]

I love sprinting at the practice dummy then skipping to new match so it bonks my head 🥰

[elder tendon]

I just did a Brave Stand with the large one-handed mace that I was wielding with two hands and... it just took forever, lol. I eventually just pulled out my sword and ended up killing them all in a couple of slashes.

[versed wadi]

Also I wish you could get some of the polearms like the halberd, in the unarmored fights

I much preffer fighting unarmored but the halberd is my favorite historical weapon

[winter wasp]

Love how i could clearly see willie grabbing the axe with his other hand to pull it out

[sleek gull]

Headbutt opener is a valid strat!

[versed wadi]

This polearm is hands down my favorite in the unarmed catagory

[elder tendon]

I hate the spiked spears lol

They're so OP

[versed wadi]

They are so fun though

[silent gorge]

i dont think they are op

[elder tendon]

Really? You just swing them and they kill everybody regardless of their armour lol

[versed wadi]

have you ever managed to get that perfect throat slice with the top spike. It is so good

[indigo carbon]

Os the guy that is bad at mace still here?

[silent gorge]

i have had too much failures using that thing lol

that thing always lets me down when i need it the most

[indigo carbon]

You can try to block them and get in close with your secondary

[elder tendon]

It feels impossible to lose with those spiky spears, they often just kill themselves by walking towards you

[indigo carbon]

The spiky spear is a gutendag btw

[elder tendon]

gutentag? :P

[versed wadi]

When the AI gets a good block, and moves passed the spikey part, they can kill you though

the AI just isn't as good as a player is at knocking weapons out the way

[indigo carbon]

The air is better with a shield

[elder tendon]

I haven't had that happen. I also almost always lose when the enemy has one. They're so much stronger than any other weapon because they have so many different ways to kill the opponent. It's too easy compared to most other weapons.

[indigo carbon]

When the enemy has one you can use footwork to evade and the rush them

[versed wadi]

I've had it happen a few times, but it's not super often. I usually end up dying to the longer reach of a well placed billhook strike or another spiky stick

[elder tendon]

Well, yes, I'm not saying it's impossible to evade them. I don't think they have a place in the game. They are by far the strongest weapon in their tiers by a massive margin.

[versed wadi]

This, or I like to hold mine out, to keep theirs from hitting me, then hit them from a closer range. Sometimes you can miss, and still hit on a back-swing too which is fun

[elder tendon]

If I play with the spiked spear, I can win every fight with a single swing 95% of the time. The rest, I might need a second swing.

Often times if you get close, they start blocking, and that alone will kill you just from being close to them.

[soft osprey]

“Spiked spear” so to speak, is super op. Objectively it is the easiest weapon to use

[sleek gull]

Having fun playing around in the bind, and grapple. With the Longsword, sometimes when you are grappling, and switch to Half Sword, you can get a hand free and throw some punches. The dynamics of this game are unreal.

[elder tendon]

Yes, exactly.

[versed wadi]

Maybe, but it's also the funnest

[sleek gull]

I forfeit most those battles to skip to the next lol

[winged moss]

you guys have trouble fighting the spiked spear?

[elder tendon]

🙄

[versed wadi]

Depends on what weapon I'm using tbh

[sleek gull]

Wouldn't call it trouble, but it almost always ends up with my bloodied.

[winged moss]

normally i just charge them and whack it aside since I normally run longsword

[worldly timber]

subtle foreshadowing

[elder tendon]

I don't believe that works consistently considering the spikes will kill you if they change their grip

[versed wadi]

it may be OP, but damn is it satisfying.

[elder tendon]

There are many times I've been chest-to-chest with the NPC, they block, then suddenly my ribcage is full of spikes

[versed wadi]

I really hope devs don't remove it lol
