[molten echo]

this is so weird

[light pike]

if you cut them off too close to the torso he kind of just dont care

[molten echo]

OH MY GOD i JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING

the liver

that shit has a tonna blood in it

so if you cut the liver open, wouldnt it be cool to have blood spill out?

[molten echo]

holy shit

[weak roost]

I think it’s 1440-1480 some armor items stretch a bit farther I think

[vivid spruce]

Yeah definitely anytime after 1440's cause full plate is displayed in the game

[olive gull]

holdon

[weak roost]

Sorry, starts at 1475 and goes to 1480 at the latest. Ivan said stuff from 1495+ doesn’t fit with the game.

[olive gull]

oh

kk

[junior vapor]

[idle crane]

They didn't eat as much sugar back then so contrary to the popular belief they probably had pretty good teeth back then. Other than orthodontic issues

[tall dagger]

Yeah but regardless his teeth wouldn’t be so sparkling white.

just swing it so your other hand lets go of the sword for a second

[summer schooner]

is there anyway to make it permanent?

[molten echo]

nope

[summer schooner]

😔 thanks anyway

[molten echo]

long/greatswords are all 2h

OR

you can halfsword and then switch your hands.

then you'll one hand your sword

but thats basically the only way

but its really really weak, so I wouldnt recommend doing it

or you can dual wield

[smoky quail]

I really need to yap more

Im sure this has been said before but is the BR/abyss mode going to be expanded on at all in the final versions on the game? Its one of my favorit things to play but I dont find a ton of interest in the normal playtest

you can simply ping mods/admins to ask them for exceptional image perms👍

[crude flower]

True

But also not true because they haven't been here for long

[sharp edge]

can an real american patriot check this?

[crude flower]

I am a real american patriot

[stone breach]

is there a reason that after you cut the body parts up long enough its as if your weapons become incredibly dull and can no longer cut them furthre

why does the game not want me to turn my enemies into a fine mince and scatter their tiniest of fragments across the arena? :(

I want to mulch them

[junior pond]

Might be stamina or just poor contact with the body? Try crouching and turning up the mouse sensitivity 👀

[crude flower]

Hmmm

[fierce umbra]

hes kinda cooked

[indigo zealot]

why when i swing quickly my guy puts it sword straight out in front of him

[woeful notch]

Is the abyss ever going to make it to the full game does anyone know

It’s my favourite but I love the updates in the play test

[serene smelt]

Is there a way to control which leg will kick?

[nimble delta]

gotta swing with intent, quality over quantity

[pine grove]

jesus 30 min slowmode for the photography channel

[coarse hemlock]

ur non lead leg will kick

[serene smelt]

It's always a diff leg though

[coarse hemlock]

cuz ur moving

[serene smelt]

Ah

Makes sense, thanks

I wish we could punch while on the ground

The wrestling rn is pretty boring

[gusty shard]

in brave stand the bots are killing each other

[onyx niche]

you always kick with the leg further behind

[crude flower]

It happens with buhurt sometimes as well

Have you tried restarting?

[serene smelt]

Do I have to enable dismemberment or sum? I can't dismember anyone no matter how hard I try

[soft osprey]

You have to hit the right spots with proper force. Axe is way easier to dismember with. You can try messing with the npc damage slider too

[serene smelt]

Isnt everything dismemberable?

[soft osprey]

Yes but armor matters too

Get between the gaps, you can dismember armored people too

[uncut glen]

it seems there are certain areas they can get dismembered

elbow wrist, shoulder

mid arm

not everywhere (it seems)

[soft osprey]

It’s dynamic slicing, you can technically dismember anywhere but again, armor matters. And the points you hit matters too in regards to how easy it is

[serene smelt]

Nah I cut willy's willy off once

[pine grove]

with full armor on fights seem to take forever, unless you hit them while they're on the ground, maybe im just bad at hitting weak spots, if you have a mace its a bit easier tho

[uncut glen]

bonk with blunt weapon

[pine grove]

yeah that works

[uncut glen]

even unarmoured, it seems to only happen when certain areas are hit

[soft osprey]

There’s definitely a learning curve. Just look at m00 videos when he posts them, top notch. Or even just over at #starboard⭐
We also have groups for each weapon type like #1263248218297339915 and #1263255402729181184

Theres also #1244313050174197850

[serene smelt]

I'm pretty good, I can accurately hit gaps and stab inbetween the armor but the dismembering has just gotten way harder since the patch

[dull atlas]

hey buddy whatcha up to?

[tall crane]

"I Will put my fist up your ass!"

[pine grove]

i've only dismembered like 2-3 times on this playtest lol, its definitely a bit difficult

[stuck mirage]

how big is the developer team??

for the game

[soft osprey]

Yeah they made it more difficult. They’re after realism, not so much arcade. You used to be able to cut like a warm knife through butter

[soft osprey]

I don’t know the exact amount but it’s a very small dev team

But they have backing from Gameseer

[serene smelt]

I mean yeah no I get that but I feel like it's a bit too difficult right now

[pine grove]

i remember the demo where you could just cut someone in half with not much effort hahah

[serene smelt]

Slashed at some dudes legs with a longsword(no armor) for like 3 mins and nun happened

[crude flower]

Get good

[soft osprey]

Well, it’s only in pre alpha so things will be adjusted

[crisp schooner]

i think its the gambeson they wear it has insane resistance for some reason

[serene smelt]

I tried the same thing in the tier where they just have regular clothes

[strange ermine]

@soft osprey Are you aware that you've been playing Empire for 37 hours?

[zinc kiln]

how do i use the slo mo mod

[weak roost]

Dynamic slicing is in the early stages. It will be improved on, same with blood.

[lean elbow]

Wha

I was born as a cat

Yes

[lean elbow]

Yo need to hold the key

[shut glade]

is there a way to make enemies spawn as only a certain weapon type?
i want to do longsword v longsword in t3 since its usually the most fun, because anything else and its just keeping distance until they inevitably die

[lean elbow]

In tiwr 3 carnage they very often spawn with longswords

[soft osprey]

Lol yeah I have a bad habit of leaving my pc on and games running even when I’m not playing

I fell asleep with my laptop on and i got 2 achievements on steam💀

anyways imma go sleep

if you think of making another loadout how about kickboxer where you have the gauntlets and leg armor

I gotta say that took... way too long to piece together

the fit

[rose spindle]

There is a mod, Ovrdth's selector

[ocean kite]

I fought tooth and nail for the abolishment of slowmode, but still haven't typed for 3 days

[tender quest]

you click the tier you want to play in then you overwrite the loadout and then hit play

[remote crypt]

Oh fam its not even using the selector 🤣

I used that to SAVE this

[rose spindle]

In unmodded playtest?

[tender quest]

yes

you pull the save file you want to keep from the savegames folder

then copy it in when you want to use it

[rose spindle]

And that allows mixing tiers?

[tender quest]

yarp

[rose spindle]

So I can kill a knight as a peasant?

[tender quest]

yeah so you go into a match as a peasant

grab this

[rose spindle]

Ooo nice, can't wait to try it

[tender quest]

keep it somewhere safe on desktop

then whenever you want to go hobo mode you select top tier or whatever then overwrite that save with your one thats on desktop

Why is it that like 80% of the time with some weapons, I can chop the dude in half, but my guy still does the "accepting surrender" voicelines when I hit G?

[loud mica]

This is an issue that has a occurred a few times. Licenses are however are distributed by Valve and we do not have direct control of individual user access. please send them the following message it usual clarifies the situation.

---

The Half Sword steam store page has two game builds The demo which is available to download for everyone, and the playtest using Steams playtest system.

Despite being accepted to the playtest, having the playtest installed, and the playtest still being open. Steam is still having an error authenticating access. From the developer end there is no options for individual account verification for the playtest.

If they are unable to resolve it after this please let me know.

[little verge]

Sent you a DM.

[crude flower]

Skill issue

Your willie is too used to losing

[rose spindle]

You mean your guy is surrendering to the guy who was cut in half?

[loud mica]

i replyed to it

[rose spindle]

Or accepting surrender, meaning you won?

[crude flower]

His guy does surrender voice lines while he wins

[tender quest]

if you dont hear the death noise from willie then he aint dead, maybe he's just built different

guys i have a problem where limbs wont cut off head too although i can choose the level of gore and i cannot do kicks like if its not in the game even when i looked in the keybinds i didnt find it. can anyone help i tried uninstall and install it but didnt work

[little verge]

The keybind for kicking is spacebar.

[bleak geyser]

thank you i didnt know that

[crude flower]

You probably aren't dismembering hard enough

[hallow tangle]

When do you think they will update again?

[bleak geyser]

i dont think so maybe you are right but i always try to dismembering them after i kill them but it wont but i can see some bone

[rose spindle]

Afaik this has never been asked. I better get this on Frank's desk asap

[crude flower]

Lol

[bleak geyser]

but i appreciate ur help

[crude flower]

🙏🏻

[stoic citrus]

Well, I think my dude is now properly recognizing that his opponents are dead. I validated my files. Which is strange that that worked, because the validation came back all good.

[rose spindle]

That's expected, you won the fight.

[stoic citrus]

Well, usually, when you outright kill the enemy, your guy shouldn't say anything, right?

[crude flower]

If it comes back all good that means it was able to fix anything wrong

[crude flower]

No you can still have some voice lines for mercy

Giving mercy to your opponent

[spiral nest]

Fr or am i just dumb im autistic and can understand sarcasm

[bleak geyser]

I solved the problem i just had to put directx on 12

[spiral nest]

Cant

[rose spindle]

That kind of mercy after you've just offed somebody is the most merciful kind of mercy

[rose spindle]

Sorry dude, just my sense of humor. Fr it has been asked before, many times, and the answer is "maybe" I think

[spiral nest]

Oh okay cool

[rose spindle]

Hold up... "can" or "can't"?

Did you just double-sarcasm me?

[spiral nest]

Cant

[fast bramble]

I've figured out what causes this btw. As long as you don't die, your character won't say it if your opponent is actually dead. It starts happpening after the first time you die in a session, the only way to get him to stop doing it is restarting the whole game.

I think it has something to do with when they "sped up" the quitting to menu after dying, other audio bugs happen as well because of it, here's a thread I made on another one: https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1312621344218677249

[cerulean cloud]

use candlestick but just stab everyone with it

[remote crypt]

mods

[remote crypt]

naw

[frank berry]

when does gore 2.0 comeout?

[solemn forge]

Hello so I'm trying to reset my half sword graphics i was messing with them and now in game I can't get to the setting how would I rest my graphics outside of the game

[remote crypt]

Already out

[hollow timber]

i managed to actually gain some traction on one of my halfsword shorts yippeee!!

[frank berry]

im a donkey mb im thinking of the one they said was gonna be even more detailed than this one

[remote crypt]

no clue

[stiff pivot]

I kicked the enemy's shield and i broke my foot 😭

[oblique anchor]

You should rename yourself Viggo

[stiff pivot]

😭

i did a great parry THEN i broke my foot

i swear my character is made of jelly

[fast bramble]

Gore 2.0 is early access, we have gore 1.7 I think? Lemme double check. Yeah, gore 1.7

[soft osprey]

“HeY dId YoU kNoW vIgO aCtUaLlY bRoKe hIs FoOt In ThIs ShOt”
I love lotr lol

[astral fog]

Gore 2.0 is gonna hit for sure, but what we have now is still better than anything else by miles

[fast bramble]

Yeah it already has the most dynamic gore I've ever seen in a game

[odd pike]

nine inch nails goes so hard with half sword

[light pike]

yeowch

i almost forgot to send the image entirely

[restive garnet]

when early access hits

[light pike]

i wonder how much ea will cost

[restive garnet]

yes

[patent elm]

i thought the gore we got was already 2.0?

whats gonna be different

[light pike]

nah we are on 1.7 i think

[patent elm]

huh

tbh there isnt bone breaking

so that'd probably be added

[light pike]

i think organs will actually be a thing in 2.0

[thorny perch]

Is it gonna cost 100 bucks

[patent elm]

oh yeah dont forget about intestines

also this channel has no slowmode

wow

[light pike]

ik i got so used to the slow mode

[patent elm]

u ever just get ill in the middle of the night and contemplate life

[light pike]

i dont get ill but i do the 2nd thing

[patent elm]

damn

[patent elm]

lucky

i think i got the flu or something

i really hope not though

this illness will probably continue into the weekend 💔

[restive garnet]

are you from the usa?

[patent elm]

me? no

[restive garnet]

oh oke

[light pike]

me yes

[restive garnet]

then its just a general flu

hope you recover quick, rest well

[patent elm]

thanks

wow i forget how lucky americans are

[frozen tide]

Tis but a scratch!

[patent elm]

its still not midnight for them

[restive garnet]

true

[light pike]

halberd is so goated

[crude flower]

y'all i figured out a thing with halfsword switching to normal stabs

[light pike]

my 2nd favorite weapon

[crude flower]

this is a bardiche me thinks

got no idea

what everything was is very convoluted

[patent elm]

i always just called it a guillotine on a stick

[light pike]

i thought it was a swiss halberd

[patent elm]

still no idea what that weapon is called

[frank berry]

I see! thank you so much for the reply also do you have like maybe a rough estimate of when we'd get early access?

[light pike]

i could be entirely wrong

[crude flower]

dunno

but that stab i can do is very silly

and i love it

[hasty cosmos]

looks like an cleaver with a really really long handle

[crude flower]

huh

[hasty cosmos]

why is he looking at me like it's my fault

[restive garnet]

Soon

[twilit granite]

many months

[restive garnet]

I mean maybe the roadmap will explain it

[light pike]

yeah isnt there a roadmap or something planned soon

[solid trout]

Road map is supposed to be out by christmas I believe, certainly by the end of December

[velvet heron]

Someone should mod a gmod blood mod into the game

[hasty cosmos]

do you guys know how to fix the issue of the brave stand ai attacking each other

[crude flower]

it is

[smoky quail]

I actually did prefer it when it was possible to slice through armor

[light monolith]

level me up T?T

this is torture RAHHHHHHHH

I feel like im bugged or something

is there a way to check progress?

[spice idol]

so is it okay if I share a mod here?

oh nvm i cant upload anything

they made the slow motion mod

[soft osprey]

Type /rank (your username) in #stat-rank-check make sure to use the Willie bot

[light monolith]

how do you get exp? just messaging

[north glade]

im pretty sure its a voulge

im no expert though

it could also just be an early halberd, its all semantics really

[thorny perch]

Its a voulge

[stoic citrus]

Voulge is hilariously strong. I am currently working on my spear technique. Swapping hands to the left side just completely negates shields at T4.

[vapid veldt]

the bil hook is my hands down fav at the moment

[thorny perch]

The counter

[meager sorrel]

hacked some dudes arm and leg off and the game still registered as an alive and well enemy and he kept trying to get up and fight me, what a soldier

[wispy ermine]

Coaxed some RAGE outta him

[north glade]

actually im pretty sure the one in game is a halberd, the model seems to have loops rather than sockets

in game vs irl halberd ^

[thorny perch]

They should add this

[north glade]

i think they should add intercontinental ballistic missiles, that would be really era appropriate i think

[jolly gorge]

they need to add a glock

[thorny perch]

Add fighter jets

[jolly gorge]

imagine shooting a guy with a glock tho

[stoic citrus]

That feeling when you cut off the enemy's insult by putting a spear through their chest. Just "Varl-" ded

[thorny perch]

Raggamuffin

[north glade]

polearms are really fun, i feel like you dont get as much variety in how you grip the swords in game vs polearms

[thorny perch]

I like pollhammer because it wont make thwm bleed i think

[north glade]

i think it does if you hit an unarmored area hard enough, but its definitely less lethal

[dense island]

so he kinda like, spawned in and cut off his hand

[jolly gorge]

does anyone else feel a drastic reduction in performance when going from epic/ultra graphics preset to the uhh

dramatic one or whatever its called

[calm ivy]

I don't use Cinematic or Epic, since my computer's a potato at those qualities lol

I'm LOVING this takedown I did, tho!

Tis but a Flesh wound!

[vernal pivot]

Hey there, err, hope I'm posting in the right channel. Anyway I just watched someone stream this and got all excited. (I'm a big ol' medieval history nerd [though mostly Renaissance, kek].) I was wondering, is Half Sword Games looking for another concept artist, by any chance? (Also holy shit I LOVE the main menu screen, I wish more games made their UI look like illuminated manuscripts.)

[sweet turtle]

[light pike]

gahdamn

i hope weapon durability will be a thing in EA

cuz like imagine clashing swords with someone and yours\their sword breaks

[sweet turtle]

destructible shields would be great

or like cutting the armor off someone

but probably too complicated

[light pike]

ion think its even possible to cut fully through armor

plus shields are meant to be insanely durable

swords break alot, especially in prolonged combat

[sweet turtle]

nah i mean like being able to cut it off like the back straps on the breastplate. image if you cut them right their armor could fall off

[light pike]

ohhh yeah thatd be cool

[sweet turtle]

or hitting someone so hard their helm flies off

[winter wasp]

YT Worthy Clip

[tall dagger]

🐮

[tall dagger]

hi

[wind charm]

m00 tech in action

[sweet turtle]

DAMN THERE IS ALREADY TRYHARDS IN THIS GAME

[tall dagger]

already?

[sweet turtle]

that was some cool movement tho

[tall dagger]

not sure how hard you have to try when pressing WASD and flicking your mouse around...

[sweet turtle]

did you watch the clip?

[tall dagger]

i watch all of moos clips 😄

[wind charm]

It's not what you do that matters, it's the timing of it!

[tall dagger]

bonk

[wooden harness]

Hellos, I am sure this was asked already, but is there anyway to get a npc to stop grabbing you??

[tall dagger]

nope. just kick the shit out of em when they do

willie is a handsy little fucker

[wooden harness]

Ohhh okie okie, ty! Yeah I was in a brave stand, and made someone give up, but they were still holding on to me xD

[wind charm]

pull out your secondary sword and slice your way out

[wooden harness]

Roger that! My dagger is finally gonna get to taste some blood~

[tall dagger]

jeez...

[tribal blaze]

is it normal for your character to have an asthma attack after like three swings and fall onto the ground gasping for air?

happened once but i tried to purposefully swing constantly to try to trigger it again but it never happened, i guess that willie that i had was asthmatic or something lmao

[rose spindle]

I noticed he gets less grabby with his hands cut off

[lean niche]

🚫 Miłek, that command is disabled in this channel.

[wooden harness]

Truee!

[wind charm]

if you have a sword try this

[wooden harness]

Ohhh thats clever! Though I mostly use a polearm with a hook on the opposite end, sometimes I can use that to get em the same way^^

[wind charm]

oh fair, usually the best way out is improvising I've found

[wooden harness]

That makes sense, I do love grapple fighting, and them grabbing me just makes it a lot more fun for me~ Only minor gripe is when they surrender but still hold on to you, but nothing a good throat slicing cant fix^^

[west crag]

Since Willie is (presumably) male, kicking him square in the balls should do extra damage /s

[wooden harness]

Kicking willie in his willie

[light pike]

willie lacks a brain entirely and id assume hed lack a willie aswell

[mystic nebula]

Damn that was cool, got any tips for using the blunt weapons? I suck at both one handed and polearm blunt weapons

[wind charm]

Parrying always starts earlier than you think, it's better to already have your weapon guarding you than be late to a parry

And hitting a clean shot is always further than you think

[light pike]

man using the polearm is so fun but wearing armor is the worst

[elder tendon]

right in the gap

[lapis cedar]

i just got halfsword and i cant figure out how to switch hands

[light pike]

x

[lapis cedar]

thanks

[north glade]

t4 has polearms with only gambeson & helmet which for me is close enough

my favourite tier is 5 though

[light pike]

i took 0 chances as soon as i saw my opponents weapon

ignore the mic btw i forgot i had it on (i am ill rn so my nose is really stuffed)

[north glade]

nice grip switching

[tall dagger]

Nice grip

[tall dagger]

I like slaughtering innocent farmer Willie’s 🥰

[light pike]

I swung too hard

[tall dagger]

Folded

[lapis cedar]

damn i never realised how bad i was until i joined this server

[tall dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/angai313-folding-gif-20015031

[light pike]

i got like 150 hours ive just played too much

[tall dagger]

Fr

[lapis cedar]

i have a whole 37 minutes

[light pike]

i still dont know how i could replicate that

[lapis cedar]

how

[light pike]

ngl he did it with intention

like you can tell he MEANT to do that

which is insane

[lapis cedar]

yeah

[light pike]

if you kick and your other leg stays elevated so you do rise up

but still the 360 kick after is insane

im gonna try to replicate it

[molten echo]

well thats a bloody mess isnt it

[lapis cedar]

btw how do you kick

[light pike]

space

[lapis cedar]

ok

[lapis cedar]

damn

[steady sail]

Bloody hell!

[light pike]

first attempt to replicate that did not turn out well

[lapis cedar]

that was acually tragic

[winter wasp]

Willie got distracted by a bird

[winter wasp]

hallou

[tall dagger]

Ngl it was pure luck.

[winter wasp]

Epic

[light pike]

yeah i get that alot of it was luck but u did plan that kick and then reacted to the luck

[winter wasp]

Saw some guy do an actual backflip kick in #game-footage-🎮🎥 a while ago

Still pure luck but it was crazy.

[lapis cedar]

i just opened opera and it crashed my pc

[tall dagger]

This is still my favorite clip. (I do not own this clip. It belongs to femeu)

[light pike]

clutched frfr

[winter wasp]

Really said "can you hold that for me?"

have to go rn, i'll check back in în an hour

[molten echo]

"what have you done to my face?!" ahh pose

[north glade]

he will never wield that bastard plancon again

halberd's gotta be my favourite weapon

[light pike]

fr its goated

[north glade]

my only wish is that it had a point on the other end as well, but at least i can still whack with the blunt end

[light pike]

mario vs luigi

[steady sail]

Who is Willie and why is he under my bed

[north glade]

cleanest arm cut i think i've gotten with the halberd

[nimble delta]

unless he holds G before he dies

[wind charm]

https://youtube.com/shorts/m-ag9F-QYAs?si=mfuhcJgyjpK50lp7

[light pike]

he really dragged his death out

[bronze spear]

game is epic when you swing your sword and it glides up theirs across their neck or chest
making sparks fly

[nimble delta]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/jfLSqxOZEgDawF73R?invite=cr-MSwyNjQsMjc5MDA0NjI3LA

[steady sail]

Better when you are a pacifist and refuse to indulge in these barbaric fighting

Just like pat your opponent on the head

[bronze spear]

i don't think the people in history who were forced in real life could pat their opponent on the head

[elder tendon]

gotta put respect on my maces

[steady sail]

They just weren't courageous enough

[bronze spear]

true

pacifism is better

[elder tendon]

[bronze spear]

but humanity will remain stubborn monkeys that will continue to beat eachother with sticks

[steady sail]

It's when blue willy

Bonks

The sound automatically becomes bonque

Because yk blue French

[light pike]

3 devastating hits and bro didnt go downj

they should make the king tier one where you watch ai of your choosing fight

[steady sail]

Can I just get an RPG against an unarmed willy

I wanna pat him with it

[opal wind]

"Have mercy on the"

[steady sail]

I still haven't landed a spinkick

The unarmed life style isn't for everyone

[elder tendon]

i like big bonks

[light pike]

for some reason ur audio made me think it wasnt in my headphones

[lapis cedar]

same

[feral sundial]

will there ever be harder npcs?

[lapis cedar]

They are no match for the master gamer

god the slow mo mod is so good

[worn heron]

I prefer fastmo mod

[compact latch]

slomo?

wah

how u do that

[molten echo]

I have it set on my macro, so I can just hold it and let go easily. and what I do is I hold, let go and instantly hold it again after 1 second as Im swinging

[worn heron]

Nexusmods, but they are not affiliated with us whatsoever, so use at your own risk

[compact latch]

ah

[molten echo]

so with that ,od I can get some really quick slashes after I slow it down again

[mossy egret]

how do you get out of an NPC's grab

[tiny carbon]

you download game from steam or itch.io?

[mossy egret]

the playtest

his legs are gone, he is surrending, i have slammed him against the fence post and he still not letting go

another instance, i twsited him around my body, wearing him like a belt using the fence as leverage

and he still not letting go

[steady sail]

Punch him until he gets knocked out

He will release u then come back to consciousness in about 5 seconds

[mossy egret]

kinda hard to do when he is grabing the back of my arm or my ass

[south fox]

if anyone finds this game to easy heres a fun challenge. Turn dmg to npc all the way down and make dmg to play half way and no lock on and start farmer weapons tire get 3 kills without dyeing to move to the next.

[modern heron]

Hi guys, so today I decided to play half sword on my bluetooth speaker. The problem is, that there is a lil audio delay ( when i hit someone the audio comes a bit late) do you guys have any idea how to reduce delay?

[lapis canyon]

do you only have this delay for halfsword?

[light pike]

man im too nasty with my punches

[fierce umbra]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/954771637159485521/1314236844929585212/caption.gif

[lean elbow]

nah, i tried to play other games and its the same

[light pike]

then wouldnt it be the speakers issue

[lapis canyon]

well its probably because of the speaker then, you could try restarting your pc, the speaker or maybe checking to see if you can update your bluetooth driver

[light pike]

or do u mean u only got this issue on half sword

[lean elbow]

ohh yeah the drivers for bt

idk im gonna try

[tough yew]

wombo combo

[winter wasp]

Leaked the new update where you're able to holster swords on your back.
Mods, ban him.

It spun perfectly on your back though, gah damn

could never replicate that

[tough yew]

that shall never happen

[winter wasp]

love the first frame

[winter wasp]

Agreed, looks a little odd

[winter wasp]

Clean through

[tough yew]

its a fantasy thing so it'll never happen

[winter wasp]

Managed to get my sword inbetween that little shield on the shoulder and cut smth off once

might still have the clip

[tough yew]

guh, i took off an entire guys shoulder despite him wearing pauldrons

happens to the best of us

[winter wasp]

Found a pic of it i saved, his weapon went flying

[winter wasp]

Gotta try that weapon out more

Does feel a little too slow and with not so precise movements to me, but maybe it's just a skill issue i have with it

Ate my sword through the helmet here

why do i have to install / uninstall c++ everytime i launch the playtest

[north glade]

because the game hates you specifically

[marsh tendon]

no fixes to the gore selection screen bug

?

[tough yew]

what’s the bug exactly?

[marsh tendon]

stuck on the screen

no option works

[tough yew]

odd

[marsh tendon]

mouse only appears when i click one of the options

and disappears if i click on the black areas of the screen

and neither of the options work

[tough yew]

I think this will most likely not work but try the arrows

[marsh tendon]

arrows?

[tough yew]

try clicking the arrows that are in your keyboard

they sometimes work with the ui

[weak roost]

Or tab key then enter key

[marsh tendon]

tried that

doesnt work

the options do flicker and do the sound effect

but nothing opens up

and it just stays in the screen

that doesnt work either
