halfsword-chat-⚔

[frozen yew]

i think im just gonna post all my clips as shorts

[vagrant sonnet]

Just a note, I usually let willie live

[frozen yew]

but i started hitting record before win streaks even if its not the most fancy sword dancing i feel like its cool to have a 3-5 min video of a 10 win streak

[vagrant sonnet]

Since I have a tiny bit of a heart for these pixels

[frozen yew]

i dont hehe

[vagrant sonnet]

I used to just smash his head in

Now I sometimes bash it in

tho I do like to not let willie live, but I think letting him live makes me feel like the good guy I will never be

😔

[frozen yew]

hmm

[blazing fern]

you holding alt?

[frozen yew]

unbind thurst from alt and see what that does

[proud hare]

yo i cant play the game

it says it has crashed and it will close

[frozen yew]

alt is the thrust button

[proud hare]

how do i fix it

[blazing fern]

no, but the game seems to think you are

[frozen yew]

screenshot? idk tho might have to ask a dev

[vagrant sonnet]

are you accidentally double clicking?

[frozen yew]

That could be it too but he said he played the demo

[vagrant sonnet]

hmmm

YAY I HAVE IMAGE PERMS :D Look its Yamcha

Weird then

I've never had something like this happen to me

[sleek gull]

Couple good thrusts (alt)

[frozen yew]

Well played!

Fizzlepop are you a DnB fan?

[sleek gull]

absolutely

[frozen yew]

You know Calyx?

[sleek gull]

perhaps. if I heard it, I might

[frozen yew]

I saw him live not too long ago. First DnB show. All the edm around me is like head banging

i like DnB and like deep dub

[vagrant sonnet]

Dubstep?

[sleek gull]

Nice = D

[frozen yew]

Drum and Bass

[vagrant sonnet]

Whats dub

[frozen yew]

Dubstep is okay but i prefer Dub no step

idk what im saying tho i love it all

Look up Spanish Moss by Of The Trees. Good Dub example

[vagrant sonnet]

ohh

[frozen yew]

Rezz does a lot of both

[vagrant sonnet]

I just cut off an arm and he had to double check if his arm was really cut off 😭

[sleek gull]

lol

[vagrant sonnet]

cant send the clip tho as its 90mb too big for discords tiny-

[sleek gull]

sometimes you see a hand fly off and hit the ground, but you both have two hands still lol

[frozen yew]

Theres this guy called Soulacybin I really like. Oh and Tipper for that psychadelic Wubby Dubs

[vagrant sonnet]

I tried cutting his head off executioner style when he was hunched but it just got stuck in his heart instead

[tacit prawn]

I'm actually going to kill myself over this stupid sickle

The sickle needs a buff

[vagrant sonnet]

nooo damnit

[tacit prawn]

it's soo bad

[vagrant sonnet]

I just realised ive been recording in 480p

Welp, i guess I'll have two different videos ;-;

[tacit prawn]

So have movies like in 1970s

[vagrant sonnet]

a 1080p one and a 480p one

[vagrant sonnet]

I could beg to differ that 70s movies look better than these clips

[frozen yew]

I compress the long ones to 480p so they fit in discord lol

did not mean to reply to that

im gonna go hit a clip with sickle just for you

[vagrant sonnet]

aight well uhhh I guess I'll get to recording in 1080p now

I'll have a whole seperate video for these 480p ones whenever I get the time to edit them together

but im tired so I'll continue on those tomorrow

might keep chatting idk

Just realised, I have spent almost 2 hours killing virtual people ;-;

[wispy ermine]

This thing is just... MMM FUCK I LOVE THIS SWORD

[sleek gull]

....you don't want to know

[vagrant sonnet]

oh dont worry

Ive had way, way, way ;-; longer sessions than 2 hours on people playground

yea it isnt half sword

but death is still there

[sleek gull]

I loved watching people play that game lopl

[frozen yew]

Okay it does really suck

[frozen yew]

I have 20 hrs in like less than 10 ays

[sleek gull]

It be like that! lol

Last one for the evening. Off to bed. Night all!

[frozen yew]

nice

def shouldve decapitaed

brainrot spelling

[vagrant sonnet]

nihty nite

[blazing fern]

get you some hong shooah, mimimi on that thang

-# im sorry for the way that i am, it will happen again

[frozen yew]

knocking myself out type beat

[cerulean coral]

Does everyone use Mouse and Keyboard? So far as i know the game doesn't support gamepads for now.

But I wonder if anyone has implemented their own home brewed gamepad solutions

[tacit prawn]

I doubt it

[cinder stone]

there is some support

[tacit prawn]

the game works better and made for mouse and keyboard

[cinder stone]

it's at least playable but from what I remember you can't access the inventory with the gamepad

[cerulean coral]

Thanks

[wispy ermine]

Thought I had heard people talking about that like a month ago lol, good to know I'm not losing it YET

[cerulean coral]

I wish there were more visual indicators to know which way to swing my mouse or how fast for example, etc etc.

[frozen yew]

More poor attempts

[wispy ermine]

You'll get a feel for it, so far slow is strike, fast is parry... unless you abuse alt tapping, then everything is strike

[cerulean coral]

Kindve like in Zelda Ocarina of Time when you'd charge link's sword, the visual changes would imply the sword is getting more powerful.

Or the drag streaks in the air would imply you've unleashed an attack for example.

Not saying that's what needs to be added. Just pointing out something I think would help guide us noobies a bit more.

[zinc yoke]

You could probably rig that, but it kinda seems like playing this game on a gamepad might make a lad lose their marbles.

[frozen yew]

Going back to Marvel Rivals for now

[cerulean coral]

Yeah I noticed the alt button serving as a psuedo strike, felt kinda unintended and more of a crutch. But I see what you mean

[cerulean coral]

Probably

[wispy ermine]

Convinced this thing is genuinely just magic.

[wispy ermine]

I mean, it can kinda be, but it's primarily for stabby time. You can just coax a bit more speed with alt, but i genuinely believe it doesn't hit quite as hard as normal swipes

[coarse copper]

why are the frames bugging so bad

🙏

[cerulean coral]

I agree and I don't think it does either.

[zinc yoke]

Pray to the Omnissiah that your frames come back.

[coarse copper]

its not even me its medal

that was a good looking clip to😔

[frozen yew]

I thought Still was parry?

auto parry

[wispy ermine]

It is, but active parrying is sexy

[frozen yew]

Fax

That system still gets me all the time

[zinc yoke]

That I can concur with, heavily

[frozen yew]

i try to auto parry and just take a sword to the head instead

[wispy ermine]

Plus, the amount of disrespect we can utilize in parries is memeworthy

[zinc yoke]

Parrying into a neck slash will never get old for me.

[wispy ermine]

There's something about PULLING their head into the blade that makes me smile inside.

[zinc yoke]

Understandable

[real berry]

can we get a nerf on the hoe, when the npcs have it that thing is like a force field

like i be swinging and they just be holding it normally and blocking every attack like they been training with it for 12 years

also the blunt force damage its handle does is insanity

[wispy ermine]

Sticks fuckin hurt tho

[real berry]

yeah but like, that is an excessive hurt for just getting it held against my head for 2 seconds

[wispy ermine]

You'd be quite surprised. A 2in. diameter stick FUCKS hard, like unbelievably mean kinetic transfer

add 2lbs of iron on the end and it just gets worse lol

[maiden cipher]

Seriously why the hell do the teammates of the enemy team attack each other in bulhurt and brave stand

happens every match almost now like how does that even become a bug

[wind charm]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxvtUKMrPZO_5PycAoAFZR2SBl4XXXvfCi?si=p7RGIAadBFerqKN1

[real berry]

if they were swinging at me it would be understandable, but he just has it resting on my head for 2 seconds and then i just act like i got slammed across the face by a car

and the blocking by simply holding it is a bit unreasonable

big full swings left to right

and try stabbing

like charging at them with the extended position

[frozen yew]

I do feel like more of an expert on hoe

Wait I have a clip of me breaking someones jaw with the end of a billhook

[gaunt sapphire]

practice parries with time controller

[coarse copper]

in what game, where is the time controller

[gaunt sapphire]

theres a mod on nexus that gives u time control in playtest

[wispy ermine]

Depends on swords, I'm pretty alright with the longswords and Greatswords are my wife, but I'm fairly inept at armored fighting w/ arming swords so I can't claim to be competent with them yet

[maiden cipher]

Bruh I just spent 7 minutes

grappeled by a guy

who fucking surrendered

And the other guy

You know what I will post it because if this was my first impression of the game I would have uninstalled lmao

[frozen yew]

[maiden cipher]

I might be the only one who this bugs the shit out of but PLEASE have your audio from your mic come out both headphones not just one

[tacit prawn]

The sickle sucks

[maiden cipher]

maybe it's just my setup apolgies if that's a me thing

[tacit prawn]

and I'm sick of it sucking

[wind charm]

switch ur mic to mono, nice clip tho

[frozen yew]

wym?

[maiden cipher]

your sound

[frozen yew]

only coming through one ear?

[maiden cipher]

from your mic

just the mic only comes in through one ear

[wispy ermine]

You're very intimate in my left ear. game is in both

[maiden cipher]

its a pet peeve of mine

makes me feel like I'm having a stroke or something

Data is only coming into one ear

[frozen yew]

Oh i just realized my recvent clips were on my webcam mic

and not my mic mic but i think i solved that since then thats an old clip. Cant find the jaw break

[maiden cipher]

Oki no worries I mean hey its your stream

[wispy ermine]

The ones you sent earlier seem fine, prolly just the old ones

[maiden cipher]

But personally if I had to watch a whole stream like that I would chew my door off its hinges

[frozen yew]

The clip seems to have dissapeared

[wind charm]

I'd chew the door off anyway bro
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxvtUKMrPZO_5PycAoAFZR2SBl4XXXvfCi?si=p7RGIAadBFerqKN1

[frozen yew]

Yeah for sure. Thanks

[wispy ermine]

GN all

[maiden cipher]

This game is like, getting more broken by the hour lmao

gn bro

First the enemy team is attacking themselves on the buhurt and brave stand

[wind charm]

this one got me fucked up
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxqtOPwUFtU77nMxUmFj9V8Xi6fmdPf_jl?si=goe9qcrkNYCG3mMp

[maiden cipher]

lmao he disarmed yo ass

Yeah this game is very quickly losing its shine for me because it's really frustrating the buhurt and brave stand both have infighting on the enemy side and thenTHIS HAPPENS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEmDCMuxLzc

[frozen yew]

AY i found it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK3pHLwDtVE&ab_channel=Sammyofather`

[maiden cipher]

I spent that whole time trying to get up so I could beat everyone past the point of death and if I managed that, I would have been happy. But the guy who wasn't caught up with our cuddle puddle wasn't attacking properly either so the whole thing was like what the fuck

[wind charm]

that was a mean back hand oml

[wind charm]

this game is 60% rage bait i stg

but I like the pain D:

[maiden cipher]

This game was perfectly fine when I got it I spent my insomnia playing it with no problems

But it seems like the past 12 hours things that were working properly are getting progressively more broken

[wind charm]

trust me man, have an hour break and come back to it. You will see insane improvement fr

it just resets the brain to think clearer

[maiden cipher]

It's not my brain that's the problem

Like

[wind charm]

yes, though being able to move past insanely annoying moments is a hell of a lot easier with fresh eyes

[maiden cipher]

Im uploading it

[wind charm]

I literally don't play halfsword unless i'm warming up to stream or streaming

[frozen yew]

claiming a you are in the same headspace you were at the start of a 12 hr sesh is wil

wild

[maiden cipher]

Well I mean probably not but thats not what I'm confused by

These bugs DID NOT EXIST for the longest time

[frozen yew]

It happens to me too

[maiden cipher]

and then now I restart the game and they persist

[frozen yew]

I swear the game has gotten updates or downgrades but it hasnt

Its kind of like frequency illusion we see in life? perhaps

[maiden cipher]

Like look, back to back. Brave stand - they all attack each other. The first day they acted how you would expect. It did not have ANY of these bugs when I first installed the game, and now it's like I'm fighting a free for all, every time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcQzOW0xcms

[blazing fern]

i had that too for a while but closing and reopening the game fixed it

[frozen yew]

perhaps ai coding?

[maiden cipher]

I'll try it again

But restarting didn't help last time

Maybe I should try reinstalling the game

lets see if the restart fixes it

[graceful fable]

What damage settings do you usually have it set to when playing?

[frozen yew]

I wonder if there is some sort of ai code that changes as you play

[wind charm]

pretty far on the left, I like longer fights

[merry dome]

so halfsword vr when

[wind charm]

Chat is this fucking real

1080p btw

[wind charm]

looks fine to me kek

[coarse copper]

might be discord compression

[frozen yew]

864 kills to 115 deaths is kindda nuts

[dense island]

he has lost his weapon privileges

I shall now fight him like a gentleman,

hand to hand unarmed

[maiden cipher]

Yeah okay its just me I guess cus I restarted the game and now everythings working fine - it's weird cus I did that already and it didn't solve it but this time it did

But whatever its working fine now Im happy

Ill take a break still cus honestly thats the healthy thing to do here

[dense island]

I finally did it

I won via throwing a weapon

[frozen yew]

Clip?

[dense island]

trying to make it

microsoft is being a bitch rn

[wind charm]

There are two m00s.
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxcA0Dz7gvXyXwXuiHbVfMa1-sQCDMBDkh?si=DFj8DvOEgGT00RmF

[dense island]

I'll try tmr ig

[frozen yew]

RIP

[frozen yew]

Worm arm

Wait I got a throw kill but not that cool

[zinc yoke]

Honestly, still cool in my eyes

[gentle topaz]

would be cool if there was a dussack in the game

[frozen yew]

\

[left nimbus]

Is there a way to stop the camera moving up and down when swinging and using a game pad?
Any up and down swinging I do also moves the camera.

I've been looking for others mentioning this issue and can't find anything, maybe I am doing something wrong.

[maiden cipher]

Is this game primarily CPU intensive or GPU intensive?

I dont have a second monitor to run the resource monitor to check for CPU spikes

And I'm wondering what precisely is causing the game to drop to 20 FPS sometimes

[honest marsh]

GPU

you can run hwinfo64 in the background and check after the fact

Has anyone else gotten the all-white outfit after dying to their opponent and winning the match at the exact same time? Both screens popped up, asking me to fight again or go to the main menu, and when I spawned in, it gave me an all-white outfit.

[turbid sonnet]

How can I get more fps?

[honest marsh]

buy a 4090

[turbid sonnet]

👍

[honest marsh]

not the smartest pikeman

[honest marsh]

[gilded crown]

if you took a look in the wip channel its stuff that is work in progress

[ember siren]

prob mods

[zinc yoke]

What do you mean?

[gilded crown]

there is only a playtest and a demo right now

I think the early access was set to at the end of this year I'm not sure though

[random cobalt]

br

[hexed fiber]

is a 3060 good?

[ember siren]

i use a 3070 and have 90fps in 1v1 on high

[honest marsh]

good is relative. the playtest is free, try playing at minium settings and see what fps you get

[ember siren]

on medium i have 50 and my game dies over and over again xd

[hexed fiber]

aighthhtt

[random cobalt]

who wants a challenge gauntlet

[ember siren]

acualy high has more fps for me

[gilded crown]

I have a 3060ti and I run the game on epic settings and I get high fps

[ember siren]

you need to test what gives you the best fps

[random cobalt]

i lag on medium fps when its not a 1v1, during 1v1 its smooth

[gilded crown]

yeah that also depends

[ember siren]

my game wont let me use medium

[hexed fiber]

lowest gives me 200 fps

[ember siren]

thats why my game keeped crashing yesterday

[random cobalt]

anyway fun gauntlet:

start as peasant, you need to get 4 (6 if extra hard) points to move onto the next rank

1v1s give 1 point
others give 2

style points:
+2 per limb cut off
+1 per obviously cool move

finish once you get 4 points on the max rank

[ember siren]

took settings to high and had no more problem

[ember siren]

what do i get for 360kills?

[gilded crown]

that's way too easy

[random cobalt]

uhh

[ember siren]

xd

[gilded crown]

wait is peasant the ones with only fists or

[random cobalt]

yeah

unless its carnage you start with small knives

[ember siren]

with mods you can give them stuff

[gilded crown]

yeah

[random cobalt]

mods?

[gilded crown]

I didn't find a lot of mods

at least on nexus

there were like 3 and the rest were reshade presets

[ember siren]

[remote herald]

but i didn't get pinged so i thought nobody answered

[gaunt sapphire]

please tell me why this weapon breaks my bones before i will lose it

[gilded crown]

thickness

and structure

[ember siren]

big boy

[gaunt sapphire]

its sharp.

[pastel trout]

How do you use the new 'Play with you Willie' feature?

[ember siren]

also that thing is prob more heavy then a longsword but shorter and so has more force

[gilded crown]

sharpness wont break bones

[gaunt sapphire]

exactly. why does it break bones.

[ember siren]

armour? gambason? or nacked?

[gilded crown]

the main focus the 15th century blacksmiths has was making the weapons deal the most damage while the shield did all the blocking

[gaunt sapphire]

tier 3

[ember siren]

then it aint fucking sharp

that should cut limbs of at tier 3

[gilded crown]

It is sharp but because of the thick and wide structure

cuts and breaks bones

[ember siren]

executioner sword also cuts

and that is a thick boy

[remote herald]

i just kicked willy in his ballsack so hard that he just fucking died

[ember siren]

the game was set in 1580 right?

[gilded crown]

1450-1470

[ember siren]

fuck

no Executioner's sword

[wind charm]

Rate this brave stand

i hope they add bones breaking

that would be a funny thing to have

[agile musk]

mayb

[soft osprey]

You won’t for a while either. Next release is early access in Q4 of 2025 unless they bless us with a surprise update but don’t hold your breath

[agile musk]

yea i want early access rn

i just hope it not too expensiv

[bold sandal]

Damn even though this game is single player its so addictive.

[soft osprey]

It’ll be under $40 for the full release, that’s all the info we have about pricing. Whether the early access will be cheaper or the same price as the full release, we don’t know.

[agile musk]

dang

[remote crypt]

Q4 = b4 oct if they mean fiscal quarter.

Which is exciting.

[sleek gull]

Play Tester edition would be dope.

Not even that. Fuck all of us let me get an arming helmet. I'd pay 800 bucks straight up for an aluminum arming helmet or breastplate w/ the halfsword logo/ some livery on it.

[sleek gull]

Often people ask about Thrusting. Whether to double click. Hold alt. Or right click for Half Swording.

I'm a fan of Alt. Here are some demonstrations of how I use it. Enjoy!

[remote crypt]

Some gems in here too

False edge strikes w/ alt are just sex.

wtf did i do to deserve all of my mp4s becoming images

[remote crypt]

Right click. Using the half sword stance. If you time it right from a right handed guard it'll basically become a one handed stab returning to usual sword.

Let me try and fish for an example. Its also great for wrap shots.

[dark canyon]

when is the 9th tier appearing

[sleek gull]

I wish I could do that more consistently. I need to practice it. Because I really do love the one handed thrust.

[remote crypt]

That first clip in the lil cliptage I sent was a beautiful example ngl

[sleek gull]

Won't know till Q4 when EA releases. As per the recent interview, it doesn't look like there will be any feature updates till EA.

[sleek gull]

hell yeah. I love that

[sleek gull]

Now that you have me working on it, I figured it out. Right click mid swing.

[remote crypt]

Hold right click instead. A lot more fluid transitions

I rarely click to enter halfsword.

[sleek gull]

I'll play with both. I do my best to stay away from Half Sword mode. Its a me thing. lol

[soft osprey]

Haha that was nice

[west spire]

has anyone here cut willie in half vertically

like from top head to bottom crotch, clean slice

[dark canyon]

i cut his willie off

[remote crypt]

Don't blame you. For me it's a swing extender/ head sniper.

[sleek gull]

Know what is fun? being in a half sword side guard stance, and when you swing, release the half sword grip. It almost feels like you are whipping your blade at their neck

[dapper walrus]

I did a carnage match and I got everyone on my spear at once

[ember siren]

i love mods i kill nacked man in full armour with a greatsword

[sleek gull]

like this.

[remote crypt]

Yep I do that frequently with diagonal strikes. And to get around shields.

also people forget how fun 1pp is

[sleek gull]

He had one chance, and he blew it. It was just a world of hurt after he whiffed.

[sleek gull]

I think this is your best Fencing clip yet! Save that one!

So many techniques in that clip. It is great

[fallen zealot]

[timid imp]

[fallen zealot]

[timid imp]

might be a record for me tbh

[cobalt kindle]

Didn't know people actually play properly

I just swing and hope for the best

[fallen zealot]

im more of a realistic player type

[timid imp]

that is fun but once you learn how to play "properly" its hard to go back

[fallen zealot]

i never go back

[timid imp]

the dopamine hit you get from landing nice bonks is just so good

[fallen zealot]

i do spining kicks and grappling stuff it is sooooo satisfying

[sleek gull]

A few lil bonks here

[timid imp]

fucked it a bit but recovered

[elder sluice]

when the game releases id love to see an achievement you gain for dying in like the tutorial with the wooden dummy

[timid imp]

good win, had trouble at end picking up sword

[novel relic]

bro they should add brass knuckles or something like it

[timid imp]

almost had me

[novel relic]

with OVRDTH's selctor tool mod taking a tier 8 into tier one is funny

[dawn plinth]

[sleek gull]

Pre-blood update hours

[sleek gull]

Hell yeah!

[ebon ermine]

hello chat

[teal bobcat]

update:

[ebon ermine]

yeouwch

[sleek gull]

❤️ Hell yeah man! I see you out there with your Ox stance.. = D

Nice patience and well timed, intentional strikes.

[ebon ermine]

if im being honest i thought i was playing like trash but this actually cheered me up a little

[sleek gull]

It looks like the way I approach a fight. waiting and baiting.

[ebon ermine]

im still not sure how footwork works but im trying to figure out parrying

[ebon ermine]

all i know about footwork is holding shift opens new movement posibilities and how to keep your balance

[sleek gull]

I need to get an overlay for my kb&m movement.

But to try and explain. I pulse on shift. I mostly press when I press a direction, same time. If I am standing still, I am holding it to lower my center and ready a stance.

[ebon ermine]

lmao i am just now seeing this 😭

[ebon ermine]

i dont think anyone's figured out how to add custom items yet

im sure someone will eventually

[sleek gull]

Once the cosmetic modders get to it, i'll be so excited.

[ebon ermine]

took me a minute to realize he had a dagger

[ebon ermine]

fr, i'd love to see some good custom items be added, maybe swords from other games or anime

[vagrant sonnet]

Nooo I didnt record it

[sleek gull]

LOL That gets me all the time. Especially when it is sheathed. Sneaky dagger!

[vagrant sonnet]

I just got a victory in under 5 seco nds

[sleek gull]

Nice shot!

[ebon ermine]

They got sneak 100 😭

[vagrant sonnet]

Bro, how do you get these shots

I want to get shots like that

[ebon ermine]

also did the mace just phase into me at 14 seconds?

[sleek gull]

Press C and play with the editor.

[vagrant sonnet]

I know that

[teal bobcat]

go far away, turn FOV down, focus on subject and then turn sensor width up to desired blur

[vagrant sonnet]

How did you time it so perfectly

[ebon ermine]

gottim

[teal bobcat]

a lot of error lmao

[cobalt vault]

everytime you think something cool is about to happen press c

[vagrant sonnet]

got it gang

[ebon ermine]

one time i sliced a dude's hand off, could've gotten a good photo out of it but i didnt even record

[ebon ermine]

"this town aint big enough for the both of us" ahh

[ebon ermine]

jeez

[rain valve]

@ebon ermine check out #game-footage-🎮🎥

I posted my sick kick.

[languid ocean]

How can i get to play playtest?

[ebon ermine]

Cool

[ebon ermine]

go to steam, look up half sword, click request access to the playtest you get it in your steam library instantly

[languid ocean]

ohh kk thanks

[ebon ermine]

By way which mod do you use to spawn items in?

[ember siren]

i use https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/18?tab=files this one

[ebon ermine]

alright, does it include instructions to install?

[hasty blade]

i dont think im supposed to still be walking

[ember siren]

1 sec i send you a video

[ebon ermine]

[ember siren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tsr6vQYpAU&t=7s

[ebon ermine]

alright

[hasty blade]

NAWHHHH THAT'S INSANE T_T

[sleek gull]

I use the QOL Mod. And Selector.

[ember siren]

thats the guide i used like 4h ago

[hasty blade]

I CAN STILL KICK

[ebon ermine]

yeah i assumed it'd be quality of life but i've seen some other ones around so i just wanted to be sure

[hasty blade]

WHILE BEING A VEGTABLE AND MY OTHER CUT-OFF LEG IS HOPPING ARROUND TOO XD

[sleek gull]

There is a way to do it with the Trainer too. But I haven't figured out how to save with it yet.

Trainer would be nice, because you can mod the weapon a little bit size wise. Like, longer or shorter blade.

[steep axle]

i love this game

[ember siren]

btw how do you guys kill ppl with shields

[sleek gull]

Same!

[ember siren]

like i normaly go for 1 good hit that wins me the fight but i cant hit any good hit against shield ppl

[hasty blade]

W take

[vagrant sonnet]

Im giving him a good night kiss

[hasty blade]

samurai takedown

[steep axle]

I can't stop playing it

[rain valve]

the longsword is such a fun weapon to use in this game

I like the fatter bladed longsword though instead of the skinny ones in game

good movement on them

[ember siren]

dont grab ppl with sharp sticks

[sleek gull]

@ebon ermine If I can figure out Trainer saving, you can do stuff like this. Which would be awesome.

[ember siren]

btw ignor how i fucked up at first xd

[ebon ermine]

Alright, let me know if you manage to figure it out then :)

[sleek gull]

I will = D

[vagrant sonnet]

Chat I think bro got hacked

idk tho

[sleek gull]

To be safe, not even clicking that link.

Was it a CS GO student tourney donation?

[vagrant sonnet]

idk

I aint clickin it out os suspicion

[sleek gull]

That is one that I got a few days ago

[vagrant sonnet]

where do I download that

[sleek gull]

Nexusmods

[vagrant sonnet]

aight

[ebon ermine]

is the autoexecuter.bat file from the QoL mod safe to run? pc protected and i know its usually alright but jsut asking to be sure

[sleek gull]

It is.

[ebon ermine]

alright

[sleek gull]

Though to run the QOL Mod, you will want to use the Remote DLL application.

[ebon ermine]

yeah i got it working smoothly i believe

[sleek gull]

Nice!!

[ebon ermine]

to open the menu again do i have to run the bat file again?

or does it open automatically when you launch half sword

[sleek gull]

I run Remote DLL to open it again

[vagrant sonnet]

I didnt mean to do that..

[ebon ermine]

oh alr

[vagrant sonnet]

the blade went straight through his neck

I was intending on getting a decap and so I started moving my blade but instead it went through his food pipe

[waxen marten]

I wish they added the song from the demo into the playtest becuase I really like the music in there also

[sleek gull]

Agreed. I have music off lol

[silk mist]

Why did it take me this long to realise i can taunt by pressing G

[ebon ermine]

is there a way to remove items you're wearing?

[sleek gull]

Not that I know of. Only add, or replace.

[vagrant sonnet]

I got fucking cut in half

[steep axle]

cool

[ebon ermine]

Hm alright, what did you use to spawn with no shirt like in this image?

[plush sundial]

the feeling of wanting to know more technique the feeling of blade cranking into each other is thay the reason thay drive you forward to play this game?

[vagrant sonnet]

I won carnage with just a shield lol

[sleek gull]

working on some unterhau.

[steep axle]

yes of course

[sleek gull]

I used the Peasent with Longsword preload from the Selector.

[ebon ermine]

ohh

[ember siren]

you can split a head in 2

never saw that but it just happend

[vagrant sonnet]

I wish I was recording rn

[ember siren]

know the feeling

when i dont record i block like a pro find a gab and end the fight in 1-5 attacks

when i record i fuck everything up

[vagrant sonnet]

real

[sleek gull]

I felt this way too when I started.

What I do now is record several minutes at a time. Then I watch it afterward and make small clips from the fights I liked.

By recording longer, I tend to not think about the fact that I am recording.

[ember siren]

ngl i just took someones head of in 1 attack

[vagrant sonnet]

I just got my spear lodged in their head

[ember siren]

i did not record, the round before i had a hard time i recorded

[vagrant sonnet]

but I got my neck slit by their sword and now I cat tank photo

[ember siren]

im to lazy to cut it all xd

also dont have a program for that and normal windows shit sucks for that

[vagrant sonnet]

Welp it wasnt his head but still stabbed him

[gray estuary]

for honor execution looking ahh

[sleek gull]

Sometimes you gotta take out that side arm.

[vagrant sonnet]

NOOO

[chilly cliff]

kicked him so hard he lost his teeth

[vagrant sonnet]

MY SPEAR JUST GOT FLUNG OUT OF WILLIES ASS AND I WASNT RECORDING, I WONT HAVE A SILLY CLOP 😭

CLIP*

[novel mantle]

Hi, i just have a quick question cause i have seen a lot of clips you sent and i was wondering how do y'all aim a certain part of the body like how do you struck the neck or throat as you want ?

[vagrant sonnet]

just luck basically

[dawn plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/pov-pov-physics-physics-point-of-view-gif-6741848225749804042

[novel mantle]

How did you even got a long sword without any armour or shield ? and why is the enemy so low armored too ?

[sleek gull]

Lots of practice. There is the HEMA Theory of the Meyers Square. Just as you would swing the sword, you trace the directions with the mouse.

[novel mantle]

Damn i think i'm lost as hell with that graphic x)

[lapis marsh]

Same

[sleek gull]

OVRDTH's Selector on Nexusmods. It allows you to save loadouts. And other mods to customize loadouts.

Load one up that was saved in whatever tier you like. I like to be unarmored vs lightly armored NPCs.

[novel mantle]

oooooh

that's so cool i didn't know you could use mods

[sleek gull]

https://www.keithfarrell.net/blog/2017/05/meyers-four-openings-drill-aka-meyers-square/

[lapis marsh]

Happens to the best of us

[ember siren]

[timid imp]

[sleek gull]

For those who were interested in the Meyer's Square. Here are two shorts that might give you an idea of how it is used.

[sleek gull]

Nice block!

[scarlet kite]

Thanks!

[timid imp]

fuck

[ebon ermine]

Can i save the custom outfit with ovrdth's selector?

[timid imp]

i filmed me killing a willie without ever pressed wasd and its too big

[sleek gull]

And you can do so using the Meyer's Square! Straights, Hooks, Crosses, Uppercuts. Trace those along the square and rock'm! lol

[timid imp]

169 mb 😭

[sleek gull]

You sure can. With QOL, you should press T to save it, and also save it in the Selector. I find best results that way.

[ebon ermine]

"i believe a true warrior needs no sword"

[ember siren]

you are the reason my recordimng stoped 😦 when i go out of the game to watch stuff on dc the recording stopes and everything good happend after i saw that videao

[ebon ermine]

alr

[ember siren]

i was to gredy to watch a video

[gray estuary]

They only need one sword

[scarlet kite]

This game's really good at making me want to improve at it
Both my fighting skills and my photography abilities

[sleek gull]

Oh no!!! I'm sorry! lol

[ember siren]

i was to gredy

could not stop myself from fucking me over

but now i know

[plain arch]

[lapis marsh]

[bronze hearth]

[timid imp]

[ember siren]

[timid imp]

fighting without moving is kinda fun

[worn heron]

[timid imp]

[scarlet kite]

Sync

[sleek gull]

Well done. Swiftly acted on. Go go Mods!

[summer brook]

it touched me

[ember siren]

btw you need 200 messages for lev 3 in the dc

[timid imp]

i think im done bullying willie for now

[ember siren]

just found that out

[sleek gull]

Ya'll folks with them greatswords, running around swinging whole ass trees at Willie. Insane!

[fierce wedge]

whenever i try to parry, all it does is just keep the sword suspended perfectly enough for the enemy to just change direction and slice my head off

[ember siren]

cap you will still do it

[fierce wedge]

so a almost fatal injury turns into a entirely fatal injury whenever i try to parry a strike from above

[timid imp]

oh 100%

im just eating something

[timid imp]

i like bonkin

its not the best way to use a greatsword

but i love it

[ebon ermine]

no head for him

[random cobalt]

clic kon the link

[summer brook]

i think this one was good

[novel mantle]

Can you help me using it cause i've read the README folder and i still cannot figure it out (i feel a bit idiot tbh)

[ebon ermine]

the link dont load and i aint waiting

[random cobalt]

hover over it and you see its not a redirect

[fierce wedge]

what causes a enemy to surrender? i know holding a blade up to their neck for a bit causes them to, but i've seen some just surrender at different times during a fight

[ebon ermine]

ok finally it loaded

[ebon ermine]

if you hold your weapon to their throat long enough they surrender. they surrender faster if they're on the ground

[ebon ermine]

"this clip does not exist"

[random cobalt]

check dms

[sleek gull]

One key thing people over look, is that if you want to save a loadout that you like, you need to launch the program as an Administer.

Did you do that?

[random cobalt]

oh theres fucking server issues with medal

[summer brook]

dont have to do it on the new version

[random cobalt]

perfect timing

[novel mantle]

I don't want to save one i want to use one from the already owned

but no i didn't

[sleek gull]

oh dang! Thanks for that!

[fierce wedge]

candlestick is the best weapon

[glass vine]

Hey guys, is there a way to play the game? I've heard only some people get access to the Play test.

[sleek gull]

In the Main Menu of the game, select the Tier that you want to fight against. Then go to the Mod, and double click on the Loadout.

Then click Play Demo

[summer brook]

you will get access you just have to wait

[ebon ermine]

go to steam, go to half sword, request access to the playtest. i got it in my steam library instantly

if that didnt work idk mightve changed

[novel mantle]

It workeddd thank you for helping

[sleek gull]

You are very welcome = )

[glass vine]

Thanks man, appreciate it 😛

[fierce wedge]

a enemy accidentally hit the sword i was carrying directly into their neck which ended the fight in a instant

[timid imp]

i had a similar thing happen a while ago

was before i knew i could film my fights 😭

[summer brook]

he hit me before he died

[novel mantle]

Only hitting headshots now x)

[sleek gull]

makes me laugh when I glance at discord and see your name, before it fully registers, In my head I hear 'sitting in a lawn chair'

[ebon ermine]

lmao 😭

[scarlet kite]

OUCH.

[ebon ermine]

this is now my alter ego, relaxed man sitting in a lawn chair stock photo

[sleek gull]

mmmm....axe.....brb, creating a new Willie.

[timid imp]

nice disarms

[scarlet kite]

I think longswords are still my favorite to play but big axes have that perfect balence between weighty hits and easy maneuverability that i love

[sleek gull]

I'm hyped. About to see how my routines translate.

[timid imp]

i never really used longswords

[ebon ermine]

longswords are peak

[proven sapphire]

Ayo

[bright quartz]

guys can someone give me a tut on how to precisly throw shit at willy

[scarlet kite]

I used to swear off them just like longer polearms but they’re tons of fun

[proven sapphire]

Anybody knows how to get early Access?

[bright quartz]

komendant

go to steam

[ember siren]

spin to win

[ebon ermine]

you mean playtest?

[bright quartz]

and type half sword and you will see download demo and below it is download play test

download playtest

[timid imp]

it looks like it might be longsword time

[proven sapphire]

Not demo

[bright quartz]

and they should give you it after 10 mins

[ebon ermine]

yes indeed

[timid imp]

so do you have any advice for em?

[bright quartz]

because its a test version

[ember siren]

i love longsword

[timid imp]

idk how they handle

[proven sapphire]

Okay

I will try

[timid imp]

im used to big dumb slow weapon that has a ton of force

[ember siren]

btw 360s are simpler then blocking

still cant block everything but 360s are good just need to work on the aim

[bright quartz]

but dont press half sword demo, press half sword and then scroll down u will see playtest

ask for premmision and come back after 10 mins

[proven sapphire]

Thanks

[bright quartz]

may take longer idk

[ember siren]

i got mine the moment i pressed it

[timid imp]

i seem to have won

idk about this sword its weird

[scarlet kite]

Smooth?

[ember siren]

i use it in t7 so i have to hit the right spots to win

[scarlet kite]

Definitely Smooth

[ebon ermine]

never forget you have fists

[ember siren]

fists are op when you do a proper hit they can even 1 hit ppl with a helmet

[ebon ermine]

ik

[ember siren]

just bc i did not hit the right sopts i nearly fucked up

[ebon ermine]

i NEED to learm how to spin kick

[proven sapphire]

Hi

[sleek gull]

Yeah, lol. A few weeks back or so, there was a flurry of people doing it once someone figured it out. Legit, EVERYONE was kung-fu fighting.

[proven sapphire]

I have question about playtest

[ebon ermine]

its pretty ez just kinda tricky

[worn heron]

what's upp

[ember siren]

the fact that you can block most attacks is insane if for example the fight is low tier 1 good hit and you die, so you just block and conter and win

[proven sapphire]

If they will give me permission will they send me email or Smith?

[random cobalt]

some love should be shown to the demo

[ember siren]

btw that was my first try at a 360

[slow anchor]

The last thing I see before passing out 😭

[worn heron]

it used to be a manual acceptance process, but nowadays you'll be automatically accepted and it will be added to your steam library right away!

[sleek gull]

I have a confession...

[scarlet kite]

Ty!

[ember siren]

i have mine on max and bot on half

[scarlet kite]

S-S-S-S-S-Scandalous!!!

[round stone]

I love the axe as well

[worn heron]

is it your game that's lagging or just your medal clips?

[random cobalt]

game

[round stone]

Try some blocking attacks

[sleek gull]

I don't like dying to a glancing or grazing attack. Low setting makes every fight epic!

[round stone]

And vertical strikes

[ebon ermine]

my attempt on spin kick

[random cobalt]

howww

[worn heron]

hmm, are you playing in dx12? Cinematic graphics or anything of the like?

[ember siren]

i like to have it harder so i acualy have to hit a good attack or i need to beat the s out of willi

[random cobalt]

i do those and its ass

[ebon ermine]

watch the tuto

[random cobalt]

i diddd

[worn heron]

Gotta have high sensitivity and hold shift as you do it

[scarlet kite]

not dying like this?

[ebon ermine]

holy shit this was my first try

[random cobalt]

did that

[sleek gull]

Fair! When the threat is higher, it does force you to play better.

[random cobalt]

dx11, high graphics

[worn heron]

Just a matter of practice from there

[ember siren]

i just hit one like 2try

[round stone]

Ninja style sht

[ember siren]

and i did not record ,,,,,,,,,,,

[worn heron]

Can try lowering to medium, might help

Dx12 may or may not give better performance, it's really a Tossup.

[random cobalt]

medium looks like ass

[sleek gull]

no no, that was a full contact hit!

Like, when you get in a grapple or bind and suddenly the blade pressed against you cleaves your whole body in half lol

[ebon ermine]

fr

[scarlet kite]

Oohh I see what you mean

yeah thats lame

[sleek gull]

I keep the gore up though so one shots still happen with a well placed strike

[ebon ermine]

had to put this mofo in his place

i took away his kneecaps

[worn heron]

I'm just telling you what will make your game run smoother. If you prefer a slideshow, more power to ya.

[scarlet kite]

Not my best play but I think this whole fight looked cool

[round stone]

"Lighting bolt! Lighting Bolt! Lighting Bolt!"

[random cobalt]

also dx12 is worse

[worn heron]

Really depends on your rig, yeah.

it's picky

[sleek gull]

I have a pretty good PC, and Dx12 gives me input lag = /

[worn heron]

it runs fine on mine but the second I have any recording apps open like Medal or if I stream it, boom, big lag.

[sleek gull]

12gen i7, 32gb RAM, RTX 4070.

[scarlet kite]

If I'd killed with that circle parry this clip wouldve been crazy

[worn heron]

so dx11 for clips and streaming for meee

[random cobalt]

react green cube if they should add hills for ppl to fall down

[round stone]

I love parrying with the two handed axe

[ebon ermine]

did i just fly

[timber crescent]

tf is dx11 and dx12

[worn heron]

Willax battle

[ebon ermine]

directx

[worn heron]

Graphical settings for your graphics card

[glass vine]

Hey, does someone know how to play against friends? I don't know nothing about this game yet.

[random cobalt]

also when is an energy system and buyable weapons being added..

[random cobalt]

impossible for now

[sleek gull]

OMG. Half Sword Cheese Rolling. LETS GO!

[round stone]

This just a demo yet, mate

Multiplayer is higly unlikeable

[random cobalt]

unlikely*

[ebon ermine]

bro tried to run 😭

[round stone]

Damn

[glass vine]

Oh, okay thanks for the info :))

[ember siren]

that was my 5 try its not as hard as bclocking

[ebon ermine]

there's a splitscreen mod for the demo version but i dont even know if itw orks

[rancid sluice]

I feel like the only way multiplayer would ever be possible is if it's on the same system

the game seems too resource-intensive to really work any other way

[ebon ermine]

is the spin kick effective on armored opponents

[sleek gull]

Now that the peasant to T7 and spin kick the crap outta them in a Buhurt!

[random cobalt]

id think so

[coarse copper]

i think they said they were gonna try to hire a team to help them with mp

[ember siren]

btw why is blocking the hardest thing to do xd

[ebon ermine]

the playtest is badly optimized, once the full game releases it'll be much less resource heavy

[sleek gull]

Its not easy IRL either! = D

[ember siren]

but not that hard

[ebon ermine]

no i'd say in a medieval combat to the death it'd probably be pretty hard

[rancid sluice]

i gotta say, even with how hard the game is, i'm sure i'm doing better than I ever would irl lmao

axe to my neck would be imminent

[ember siren]

i have friends that do hema and i from time to time also get to try stuff out and blocking is hard dont get me wrong but in game its harder

but to be fair a 360 spin kick is not as hard as blocking in real life so it makes sense

[rancid sluice]

i think i've landed a thrust maybe 2 attempts out of 100 lol

[teal bobcat]

knife fight on the lowest damage settings is brutal

[scarlet kite]

bad idea

[coarse copper]

seems fun

[ebon ermine]

spin kicking is not nearly as effective with armor

[coarse copper]

its cuz your very heavy

[ebon ermine]

it probably was in older versions because of how wacky the game was

[ember siren]

what about only lower leg and sabatons

[sleek gull]

Now don't abuse it because it can do more harm than good. But try the slow mo to find your measure, and to really look at the animations. It can help. It helped me a bit.

[fierce wedge]

i've been mostly offensive but its fun to be defensive, i like the ability to somehow get out of a fight unharmed

[ebon ermine]

bru idk

[coarse copper]

slow mo?

[ember siren]

dont think i ha<ve the mod for slomo
