[timid imp]

[ebon ermine]

ouchies

[west spire]

[ebon ermine]

[west spire]

also, going close range while using a long stick weapons is pretty dumb

[ebon ermine]

[ebon ermine]

at least he tried

[signal wedge]

continuously stabbing my opponent and creating a massive pool of blood in the sand large enough to lag my pc reminds me of the times when i was a kid playing halo and shooting the elites until it created a dark purple pool of blood so dense it started to lag my og xbox lol

[shy fossil]

dude got KNOCKED down

[mortal sonnet]

To this day I still can’t look at first person with that hat and not laugh

[ebon ermine]

fr

[jolly gorge]

how i get first person

[ebon ermine]

press v

[timid imp]

law

[ebon ermine]

noice

[ebon ermine]

nice kill but it was mostly luck that you didnt die

[shy fossil]

roof guard ftw

[timid imp]

nah im built different i totally saw the blade coming and dodged it

[ebon ermine]

ultra instinct

[ebon ermine]

VERY VALID

[timid imp]

im gonna do some more longsword and thne its resting time

law do you have any specific guards i should try ?

[ebon ermine]

i use tail and roof but honestly just find one you're comfortable with

[timid imp]

i can kinda do tail and plow

im honestly never comfortable using a longsword

they are weird and i don't like em very much

but i want to learn them cause they are in like every tier

[ebon ermine]

well

dont force yourself to learn a weapon if you dont like it, but if you really wanna learn it you can do it through practice

[timid imp]

im used to the weight of a greatsword and the reach of billhook

[ebon ermine]

thats not good

[timid imp]

greatsword still has good reach so its not that much different and billhook being light is kinda nice

so they work fine together

but longsword has like zero reach (unless im just idiot who hasn't figured it out) and zero weight

[ebon ermine]

if you still wanna use plow and tail if you stop using longsword you can use them on greatsword aswell

[timid imp]

its just strange weapon for me

[ebon ermine]

it does have reach you just have to figure out when you strike

try to

learn the distance between you and the enemy

there's not a trick to learn that its just through practice

[timid imp]

like either my swings are way too early or i end up with a severe injury

[ebon ermine]

your swings are early because you dont know the distance

and the severe injury?

well, its very simple

[timid imp]

its the 15th century im gonna die now

[ebon ermine]

you cant just run into the enemy first thing off the bat. wait until you're done attacking, you want to bait them not run into them

and wait for a good opportunity

dont take the first chance you see to stab them

[timid imp]

better

[thorny perch]

Thats pretty cool

[timid imp]

i fucking swear to god

i think i might need to just stick to greatswords

i am not built for longswords they require a brain

[ebon ermine]

good, here's an example of baitign but with swings cuz i cant stab properly like ever

[ebon ermine]

LMAO they do

you cxan try more armored combat if you want

i recommend tier 5

it has fairly decent armor and longswords

[timid imp]

that is the tier i was doing a bit ago

still got fucked

i am really really bad at longswords

[ebon ermine]

oof

[timid imp]

im gonna try greatswords i guess

[ebon ermine]

its alright its not for everyone, maybe your playstyle is just more aggressive

[timid imp]

it is way way too aggressive

i have like literally zero defense

when i parry it is normally a accident

[ebon ermine]

my weakness is shields

when i see a shield i go "i dont need techniques" and start spamming that mf so he fucking dies

[timid imp]

im just made for greatswords i think

[ebon ermine]

also for this weapon since 1 stab and they're dead with no risk of you dying

[ebon ermine]

if you like that playstyle then go for it, the game's for having fun after all :)

i explored longswords because i found the playstyle interesting and wanted to give it a try

[timid imp]

thing is like it, but i want more

like bonking is fun but only bonking is boring

[ebon ermine]

you can use techniques with greatswords and explore more advanced movements

[timid imp]

but like when i try other things i just can't grasp them at all

[ebon ermine]

Its all in the practice

When you try really hard the progress will show

I mean after all i went from 0 experience with a longsword to a lil teeny bit in a day, so if you try hard for a bit and stay motivated you'll do it

[ebon ermine]

Nice!

jesus

[timid imp]

Got a kinda nice stab

[ebon ermine]

Pretty good :)

liked this fight

[timid imp]

god i hate shields

[ebon ermine]

mood

[hasty blade]

An eye for an eye.

[ebon ermine]

ah yes

your head for an arm i remember that quote

[hasty blade]

ermmm its actuall his belly

[ebon ermine]

it was so cinematic...

[ebon ermine]

no idea how he survived this

[ebon ermine]

rate my photo fr

[timid imp]

i can't see anything

[ebon ermine]

nice strike by the way, sounds like you fucked him up

[ebon ermine]

turn ur brightness up lil bro 😡

im sorry i'll never speak to you like that again 😔

[hasty blade]

Fr tho bro its easy just turn your pc into a permenant flashbang duh

[timid imp]

im going to bed now

[ebon ermine]

wrong file

[ebon ermine]

good night, im prolly going to bed soon

[teal mural]

daggers OP as hell at mid tier holy shit

[ebon ermine]

this might be #game-footage-🎮🎥 worthy

[timid imp]

so far the only thing i managed to be consistent with with longswords was getting my ass handed to me 💀

[ebon ermine]

keep trying 😭

[teal mural]

i've been tossing the useless-ass single-handed blunt weapons and pulling the plain dagger and it's been been wiping the floor with people. i'm getting whole leg dismemberments. with the knife.

[ebon ermine]

i'll try a dagger

[ebon ermine]

which tier you on

[teal mural]

i can't post images yet, but weh

[ebon ermine]

bro pulled out the og maps 😭

[teal mural]

upper-middle. breastplates etc.

[fierce wedge]

there is soemthing out here

[hasty blade]

wait wtf

how did you get out there i know that is the itch version but how

[fierce wedge]

as far as i could go

[ebon ermine]

i might not have won but i parried his ass 3 times with a dagger

[fierce wedge]

my arm was chopped off, losing enough mass for me to get out of the map

[ebon ermine]

its a mod

[fierce wedge]

so i went up a couple of rocks, and was able to get out due to my missing arm

[ebon ermine]

the ultimate british move

[teal mural]

ye
unless they've got that big pavise style shield my usual technique is to barrel in, grab if i don't have my own shield, and stab up from below, get into the groin and thighs bc it's reliable even if they have a breastplate

[fierce wedge]

why is there a frozen lake out here

how do you even see this

[ebon ermine]

no need for technique

[fierce wedge]

it isnt frozen

[ebon ermine]

go scuba diving

[teal mural]

i hadnt even considered two-handing the dagger lol

[fierce wedge]

more lakes

[ebon ermine]

its more effective than you'd think

[fierce wedge]

the extreme lag is causing me to fall over

[mortal sonnet]

Are you outside the arena lmao

[ebon ermine]

is that not a mod?

[fierce wedge]

i am exploring

[fierce wedge]

no mods are for itch.io

[ebon ermine]

erm

[fierce wedge]

my arm was chopped off by a enemy, making my character lose just enough mass to get out of the arena

[ebon ermine]

ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

that's not very convincing bucko

[fierce wedge]

well then make up your own story while your at it

[mortal sonnet]

I forgot how baby Willie looked back then

[ebon ermine]

oh wait lmao

[fierce wedge]

theres the main arena

[ebon ermine]

i just realized thats the itch.io version i thought you were in the itch.io map in playtest

[fierce wedge]

LOLLL

[ebon ermine]

im stupid mb i believe your story now itch version was wacky as fuck

ngl the hall map would go hard as fuck on the playtest

[fierce wedge]

im at the final stretch to fully exploring the map

[ebon ermine]

legends say whoever ventures in never returns

[mortal sonnet]

Were you able to get to the statue?

[fierce wedge]

theres a couple of rocks you cant get over without utilizing lag

theres a couple of houses on the hill, but you cannot collide with them nor the ground that they are on

[ebon ermine]

scrapped map revealed!!?!?!?!?

coming to early access fr

[dusty pelican]

2027

[ebon ermine]

thats the playtest update from the interview 🔥

jk its probably the scythe that'll be cool for like five minutes

[mortal sonnet]

I always thought Willie was homeless

[fierce wedge]

this is so cinematic

[ebon ermine]

nah

do you think a homeless man would have a business card?

[fierce wedge]

the game is fighting me, it wont let willie escape

willie keeps glitching and falling over and sauring into the sky

[ebon ermine]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1332478891297865760/Willie_business_card.gif

[ebon ermine]

access is prohibited

[fierce wedge]

access to the next map is prohibited..

anyway i explored about every stretch of this land

im gonna go see if theres another map i can glitch out of

so i think its impossible to get into the frankyknives or out of bounds unless you chop off one of your arms

[ebon ermine]

chop chop

[fierce wedge]

you must sacrifice one of your arms to see the franky knives statue

[dusty pelican]

Blood sacrafice

[fierce wedge]

the problem with this is that willie is unwilling to to chop at your arms

[ebon ermine]

you must bind yourselves in blood

[fierce wedge]

and instead circles around you and chops your head off

[ebon ermine]

this was a fail but too clean not to post that stab

right in the chest

[fierce wedge]

i am dissapointed in the itch.io ai

[ebon ermine]

what happened

[fierce wedge]

i literally held my arms out for them to cut them off and they still died

[ebon ermine]

how the fuck did they die

[fierce wedge]

he ran into my blade

[ebon ermine]

oh my god

[fierce wedge]

and then other times they hit perfectly, but instead sever my entire head

[ebon ermine]

well i think the best course of action is trying to place your arms over your head so they cut that instead

[fierce wedge]

they decided to go behind me so they could cut my legs off instead

[ebon ermine]

what the fuck

[fierce wedge]

i am not making this up

[ebon ermine]

i feel like its just trying its best NOT to cut your arms at this point

[fierce wedge]

HOW

HE WAS MAKING PROGRESS, AND THEN I SEE THE WIN ICON

[ebon ermine]

oh my god

[fierce wedge]

HE HAD PRESSED MY BLADE INTO HIS SKULL

HE HAD HOOKED IT WITH HIS AXE AND PRESSED IT INTO HIS SKULL

[ebon ermine]

i wanna bully the ai now ngl

[fierce wedge]

i am not making this up

maybe trying to get hit is the proper way to win

[ebon ermine]

i mean there's a reason they have a different ai now

[fierce wedge]

ATLEAST THIS GUY DID SOMETHING

[ebon ermine]

then maybe trying to hit them is the proper way to lose a limb

reverse psychology

[fierce wedge]

that just results in me winning

they are bad in all fields

[ebon ermine]

damn

[ebon ermine]

i was gonna say it was just a hand 😭

[fierce wedge]

oh wow one of them actually did it

they won

[ebon ermine]

... so you died?

[fierce wedge]

yeah

[ebon ermine]

💔

[placid flare]

i'm made for swords

[ebon ermine]

swords are an art: and art is elegant

[fierce wedge]

slo-mo causes things to be registered slower so i think you can create chain-reactions with it

Swords are a tool for me to kill Willie most effectively

however. axe.

he suddenly got up while i was alt-tabbed and cut both my legs off..

while he had his own leg cut off..

[jaunty slate]

whenever i start a game it automatically says 'YOU LOSE' and doesnt let me click a new game, do i just uninstall and reinstall?

[fierce wedge]

it may be because you alt-tabbed

what does that do

Im not to good at the game so I would love to share anybodys clips who wants me to

Is there any mods for the playtest that will cut down the time wasted when you die

The return to menu button takes a second

I have to cycle through and pick the same loadout I had before

I have to face the combat dummy of shame

[fast bramble]

You can disable the dummy in the game options, for loadouts there's Ovrdth's loadout selector, there's the Trainer Mod that you can also use to build a specific loadout

It's how I'm using the axe in the clips above

[woven shadow]

[maiden cipher]

He who runs from shame shall never grow. The point nay not be to make the dummy disappear

where i can download mods

[fast bramble]

Well I just figured I'd point it out since you mentioned it, wasn't sure what else you'd meant by that part.

But the loadout stuff still stands

[maiden cipher]

Yeah I'm more looking for a trainer that will trigger the single fight / party mode selection on death or something

[maiden cipher]

Because at that point it would be the empty arena of shame

I am content with the first fight after death of shame

Also I'm under the impression some mods are for the demo and others for the playtest

And thus not compatible

'I cant see fuckin shit outta this thing-'

Oh shit I just realized how to balance a fuckin honor system for a roguelike mode

Whole point of attending a swordfight is to see some carnage

right like nobody in the 15th century going to a swordfight being like 'golly I hope nobody gets too hurt'

So while probably historically inaccurate, you could get more money to spend on equipment if you're merciless and kill everyone you see

Because that's what the crowd came to see and happy crowd, happy owners, happy you. Again probably unrealistic but-

Sparing the other combatants and playing honorably and respectfully and like, waiting for a fallen opponent to get back up (if they can) will improve the chances that you will be spared, preventing you from having to restart

Also your pay is influenced by how long the fight lasts, with negative values for being too quick to kill. So being absolutely merciless isn't as incentivised if you're just really good and don't care if the other person has the morals to spare you

[wide moon]

[timber sleet]

[iron hollow]

What you're talking about is HEMA lmao

HEMA is so good I wish it was real

[terse sluice]

I heard somewhere in sword fighting that you should predict not react

[muted dew]

If they say that you know you gonna win

[spice elbow]

Any way to get a chance at playing the newer versions?

[proven verge]

The work in progress stuff?

[maiden cipher]

A swing slices faster than your mind, absolutely.

Well maybe not if they have a lot of armor

[proven verge]

So uhh...my stabs are getting a bit too powerful now.

[spice elbow]

I suppose yeah?

Like maybe through a Patreon or something

[idle crane]

What version do you have?

[idle crane]

There is no way to pay for anything currently

[proven verge]

Only available for developers and a select few. They don't feel right taking money for an unfinished project as well as putting pressure on themselves by taking said money. The next "update" will be the release of early access in q4 of 2025.

[iron hollow]

tes français chef ?

[idle crane]

English only please

[iron hollow]

okok can you help me please for install mod

[spice elbow]

Just the Steam playtest

[idle crane]

0.4? That is the most recent version

[idle crane]

Ask inhttps://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1315732845666238484 they can help

[spice elbow]

But yeah I can fully understand their logic behind the Patreon

[iron hollow]

bro i ask it 3 time

[spice elbow]

Are they looking for play testers?

[proven verge]

Majority of players are in the US and its night night time.

[idle crane]

[iron hollow]

ha yes your right

[proven verge]

We ARE playtesters. hence it being called a playtest

[spice elbow]

I mean yeah true

[muted dew]

@spice elbow kindly hand over the artist please good sir

I just spent like 2 hours working on this so I wanna plug it because I think a lot of people would enjoy a system like this, or they can give feedback so I can tweak it.

Willie is hungry

[frosty plinth]

How do I save a loadout I found? Is there a way to do it?

[idle crane]

QoL mod

[idle crane]

You will be able to find it in https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1315732845666238484 some where

[frosty plinth]

How much of a hassle is it to install, for context I'm on steam deck

[idle crane]

I have no idea. i dont use mods. Especially not on a steam deck

[remote crypt]

Linux is basically impossible for most mods.

SteamOS is a fork of linux

Unless you can fanagle OVRDTHs selector to properly use your file path for the savegame file on halfsword that dictates loadout you can't run most mods.
QOL is a dll injection file so you would have to play on desktop mode and find compatibility tweaks for dll

[remote crypt]

TLDR.
Good luck its a pain in the ass

[frosty plinth]

Hmm

Perhaps I should not

I would imagine custom loadouts will be a thing soon

[remote crypt]

When I get home from work later I'll look into it on my own deckm

[frosty plinth]

Alllrighty

[remote crypt]

The performance on deck is just ehh tho. But, I have a monster rig usually so I am biased.

[idle crane]

The performance on steam deck is fine imo. You just need to put it on low so it doesnt look the best but it performs

[sick sundial]

how to i get full release

i can only do demo

somone helpp!

[twilit granite]

You don’t

The steam page says it’s not out yet

[remote crypt]

Yeah I compare to my rig so I am biased

[idle crane]

[remote crypt]

You kinda cant beat ultrawide 4070+64ddr5+i913900kf

Oh and ah. Would it surprise yall I use a ergo mouse?

[twilit granite]

Richy rich

[remote crypt]

Not the exact one but for reference

Nah I had bonus money

I'm firmly in middle class. For my age I'm "rich" tho.
22, got a good mortgage, married and am working on a new job for when I get out of the army.

[idle crane]

How do you even use that

[remote crypt]

It took me 2hrs to adjust from my logitech when I got it. Your hand rests vertically on it

I havent figured out how to effectively use the joystick yet

[idle crane]

Sounds strange

[cinder stone]

how much was it? I might be interested

like, to get one of my own

[gaunt sapphire]

i thought i was exaggerating but i wasnt
my willie DOES swing like it's in a dream

[languid ocean]

how do you spinkick??

[uncut lava]

How do i kick someone?

[languid ocean]

space

[uncut lava]

Thanks

[gaunt sapphire]

you spin and kick

[languid ocean]

no like how do i get it to work, i spin and kick but it kicks normally

[gaunt sapphire]

shift, kick, rotate in reverse depending on your leg (if you kick right leg, spin to the left; if you kick left leg, spin to the right), aim upwards, ?? profit
thats afaik

[fierce wedge]

it was found out when the itch.io demo was the only thing there

that you could get out of the winter map by losing enough mass

[brazen tiger]

hello

[twilit escarp]

so i cut a man's face off and got a crash notification

but then just tabbed back into the game and it's still running fine

[thorny perch]

Weird mouse

[jolly gorge]

Some of the physics break

[supple crystal]

whenever i find myself falling into bad habits in this game, i just remind myself to be deliberate and precise

strike with intent

[sleek gull]

Hell yeah!

[languid ocean]

just slam them in the head from behind with a shovel in spoilance

[supple crystal]

yes, but with conviction

i'm pretty damn good with the shovel, on spoilance i just go around one shotting people in the head

[languid ocean]

nice

i wish they could add something that like you can open the wrench

and tear off something like a finger or teeth or idk

nose, yk

[supple crystal]

big time shovel enjoyer

[remote crypt]

Very

I started with it when I injured my wrist so I could still flick

[brazen tiger]

Do you guys have any reccomendations for how to use shovels?

[supple crystal]

big horizontal swing at their head

try to use footwork to step to the left so you hit them when they're on your right, it lets you connect earlier

you can see i've done that in my pics

[brazen tiger]

Alr

Thanka

[young grove]

Just did two Jackie Chan choreographies back to back and I didn't record anything

[molten echo]

I dont think you can do better than this abomination of a face

And by better I mean more V I O L E N T

[cyan fern]

Love ergo mouse

[brazen tiger]

Idk why skeletons aren't in the playtest

One time in the demo, this guy's face was half gone and he was still fighting

[cyan fern]

What in the fuck am I supposed to do against shields! They either knock me out or on the ground whenever I get close, and with armor, you HAVE to get close with certain weapons

[remote crypt]

Its nice

[remote crypt]

Play for leg or foot shots. If they drop the shield hit their head/helm to stagger.

Its counterinituitive but fight into their weapon. It has less KO potential than the shield.

[molten echo]

Honestly I just try to halfsword my way around it and go for their neck or head. If I cant do that, well... I just try to cut off their shield arm and now they're standing there screaming in agony and I can do whatever I want

The arm thing is a bit risky though because if you run straight at him, he will just stab you and you will die

[cyan fern]

When I try that, they just tap my head with their shield once and I am either on the ground, or knocked out

[molten echo]

https://tenor.com/view/smg4-smg4skill-issue-skill-issue-smg4mario-smg4skill-gif-26104493

Never got hit once in the head like that

Now see this is where the fun begins

Sword fights only.

👀

Sick, no more slow mode

[graceful imp]

I wish we could customize enemies so we could do just sword fights

[molten echo]

Why was it on in the first place

HEY

[molten echo]

Is that a greatsword? It looks too long to be one👀

[tender quest]

the greatestsword

[molten echo]

The fuck-

[honest marsh]

arent you the one playing in full plate against willies in gambesons?

[tender quest]

that was pretty fast, lemme try

[molten echo]

When did I say I couldnt fight without armor?

I just do this for fun

Cause I like murdering willies for fun

Dont you?

D O N T Y O U ?

[soft osprey]

yea but I can do that while wearing the same armor tier as them hehe

[vagrant sonnet]

I smacked his dome

[molten echo]

Oh you know the armor makes me feel like....

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-rising-armstrong-raiden-punch-ora-ora-ora-gif-15917456

[honest marsh]

fair enough

[molten echo]

Especially on fist fights

[tender quest]

I can do it while wearing less armour then them ><>

[molten echo]

What would be the halfsword equivalent of "NANOMACHINES, SON!"

[honest marsh]

it just seemed weird you telling someone they had a skill issue when you fight like that

[molten echo]

for fun

[honest marsh]

aight aight just rubbed me the wrong way is all

[molten echo]

And also I have the qol mod + ovrdth, might as well use both and spawn in some armor

[vagrant sonnet]

when will we get head innards

Look his heads epmty

[honest marsh]

when tiktok disappears

[molten echo]

You mean guts? you mean guts right?

[vagrant sonnet]

Guts, brain, yada yada

[hidden mulch]

GRIFFITH

[vagrant sonnet]

the usual, the goodies

[honest marsh]

first, lets give a willie to Willie

then we'll talk about innards

[sick sundial]

my games super laggy any tips????

[honest marsh]

lower graphic settings

[hidden mulch]

don’t give willie a willie or he’ll lose his willie

[sick sundial]

ye dont help

[honest marsh]

whats your gpu?

[sick sundial]

3090

[idle crane]

Are you on dx11 or 12?

[honest marsh]

make sure you are on dx11

[sick sundial]

i am

[honest marsh]

I was on dx12 and I couldnt run the game on max settings on my 4090 until I switched to dx11

[molten echo]

Honestly the time control mod is perfect because I can just slow everythung down and the game runs perfectly fine

[hidden mulch]

using cheat engine i slow the game down to get a stable frame rate 😫

[molten echo]

That is... only if the speed is at 20...

[tender quest]

make sure your gpu drivers are up to date, that fixed the issue for someone else

[molten echo]

Slow mo = less lag

[hidden mulch]

i find slow mo so much more fun and enjoyable with parrying etc

[honest marsh]

i like playing in real time

[honest harness]

parrying is so much funner faster

[honest marsh]

and you get that satisfaction of having it done in real time, takes practice

[hidden mulch]

learning the mechanics of it**

[honest harness]

yea

[molten echo]

That is if your game isnt a laggy mess

[honest harness]

thats fair i never bothered "learning" tho i jus put so many hours in lol

[honest marsh]

but its so satisfying when you pull a good parry

[molten echo]

Which is the case for some here

[molten echo]

Where's the parry

[hidden mulch]

i’ve gotten pretty good at parrying and reposting after about 600 hours 💀

[vagrant sonnet]

Bro

[honest marsh]

another example of satisfactory parry

[molten echo]

Oh I see it now..... meh, I like deflecting more

[vagrant sonnet]

this dumbass walked his face right into my fuckin blade 🤦

[honest harness]

yea im up there with you bro its crazy... i just parry and riposte whilst running around lol im done with a carnage match in like 10-15 secs each

cant wait for real game too drop im putting a stupid amount of hrs into that too

[zinc yoke]

I like that, Ogryn approved

[honest marsh]

why is your sword so massive? did you edit it or something?

[hidden mulch]

i started learning kicking and knocking them out with a good spin lmfao

[tender quest]

no, i clicked through the tier 8 button until i got one that looked big enough

[hidden mulch]

parry into karate

[honest marsh]

I see, I prefer the longsword, find the gs too heavy

[vagrant sonnet]

yall how do I do the kick things

[hidden mulch]

space

[honest marsh]

press space

[vagrant sonnet]

I know rhat

[honest harness]

yea spin kicking and throwing people 10 feet is fun

[vagrant sonnet]

The spin kick

[hidden mulch]

hold shift to unlock

[honest marsh]

and... spin

[tender quest]

this one is heavier than the usual greatswords too

[honest harness]

i cant put media in this channel

[honest marsh]

you need to be lvl2

[honest harness]

cooked

[honest marsh]

or use embed links

[hidden mulch]

bardiche antics are possibly the most fun

[vagrant sonnet]

How do I get the really hard spin kicks? Is it just a matter of practicing

[honest marsh]

I find the t8 fights the most boring tbh, I like t4/5/6 more. imo t8 is too much of a wrestling fest

[honest harness]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/ji9nq2sL3LrIwIdKM?invite=cr-MSxkMWwsMjE1MDg3OTM4LA

[fierce wedge]

tier 983

[hidden mulch]

look at which foot is back that one will kick, look up and spin to the side that the kick is coming from

[tender quest]

i prefer t8 personally, i end the matches too quickly in the other tiers 😦

[honest harness]

cant tell me you all dont like what you see

[hidden mulch]

so if the right leg is kicking up spin to the right

[honest marsh]

use streamable.com

[honest harness]

for what

[honest marsh]

I like t8 when its you against peasants xD

[hidden mulch]

vid embeds

[honest marsh]

to upload videos until you are lvl2

[honest harness]

ahh ty

https://streamable.com/e/bn2k3w?

[honest marsh]

nice one btw

[honest harness]

cant even embed w streamable at lvl1

[honest marsh]

they need to be under 25mb or so for them to embed I think

[honest harness]

its 8mb

[honest marsh]

hm, weird

it worked for me when I was lvl1

[honest harness]

halfsword team just nerfing lvl1s 💀

i really hope halfsword dev team changes their minds about never adding non european weapons

[honest marsh]

I hope they dont

I hope they stick to their 15th century germany setting

if people want to add katanas and shit, thats what mods are for

[honest harness]

i mean i definetly get the point but half sword is the only game like half sword and i wanna use every weapon in it

[tender quest]

https://tenor.com/view/cap-monkey-gorilla-ape-riceguy-gif-26965588

[honest harness]

if theres a katana mod im installing straight away

[tender quest]

its true, halfsword is one of the games of all time

[honest marsh]

im sure there will be one eventually

atm its mostly reshades lol

[honest harness]

ive only got OVRDTHS

or whatever that trainer menu is called

i hope halfsword dev team adds multiplayer too 😭

[soft osprey]

Do I have news for you

#faq

[honest marsh]

they said it wont be part of EA, and that its not their focus atm

[honest harness]

[honest marsh]

but they didnt say no mp in the future, we'll see

[soft osprey]

The news is, they won’t for a long time.

[honest marsh]

I dont care about mp tbh, I really like the tournament idea

[soft osprey]

It’s only a possibility to be added after full release

[honest harness]

thats fine man i have time for half swords development lol

[honest marsh]

kcd ii is coming out next month

[honest harness]

whats that?

[honest marsh]

something you can occupy yourself with while you wait for half sword EA

[honest harness]

lol brief me

[ebon ermine]

good morning usa

[honest marsh]

im surprised you dont know kingdomcome deliverance, since you like half sword. check kingdomcome deliverance on youtube, its a medieval rpg set in 15th century bohemia

[soft osprey]

Can’t wait

[rustic locust]

Hey everyone, new here and am loving the game. I make video content/game trailers for a living and was inspired to create something for half sword, posted in game footage but would really love to get it in creators, anyone know what's required for that roll? Hope everyones having a great day 🙂

[honest harness]

ahh my bad ive heard about that

[soft osprey]

Though I definitely am not buying immediately

[honest marsh]

yea man, super stoked

[vagrant sonnet]

Do I need to practice spin kicking to get this kind of power?
https://youtu.be/r0DaH0Cqlh8?list=LL

[soft osprey]

I’m gonna wait a bit till the inevitable bug patches n shit

[honest marsh]

im not either (I preordered like a month ago)

[honest harness]

personally never played from what i saw the combat is kinda clunky and slow

[soft osprey]

Tired of games being hit with day one patches and a bunch of other patches for the first couple weeks

[honest harness]

and absolutely no gore

[languid ocean]

Same, kcd 2 is one of my most waited for games

[ebon ermine]

the kung fu peasant

[vagrant sonnet]

Ive got Kingdom Come Deliverance

I might get the second one

[honest marsh]

I know first one was buggy on release, but for what early players said, its in a much, much better state at the moment, and they are not playing the latest build. I have faith (I havent learnt my lesson from cp2077)

[ebon ermine]

i dont think i've ever once played an rpg in my entire life

[languid ocean]

same

[ebon ermine]

like not even for 5 minutes not once have i ever touched an rpg game

[woven shadow]

Its double spin

[honest harness]

release was rough did a complete 180 and became peak fiction

[soft osprey]

I just want them to add more roleplay stuff in the second one

[tender quest]

you gotta beat me in a duel (not really)

[vagrant sonnet]

So how do I do that?

[honest marsh]

such as? like, more decisions? first one had a fair amount of them, specially in side quests

[languid ocean]

can you somehow control what leg youre kicking with?

[rustic locust]

I accept

[tender quest]

yes

[ebon ermine]

ye, when you hold shift the leg behind you is the one that kicks

[languid ocean]

ohhh

aight thanks

[ebon ermine]

you gotta swing in that direction

[woven shadow]

Do double spin

[honest marsh]

you control what leg is in front or behind with your weapon position

[ebon ermine]

so you dont trip yourself over your own leg

[ebon ermine]

meh, spin kicks are usually in unarmed combat

[woven shadow]

And kick

[honest marsh]

I mean for kicks in general, depending on the situation you want to kick with one or the other

[vagrant sonnet]

So do I spin first and then kick?

[ebon ermine]

yeah true

[soft osprey]

I have nothing particular in mind I just know I couldn’t really immerse myself in the first one roleplay wise outside of the story.

[ebon ermine]

no no

you have to hold shift and spacebar, release spacebar then spin as fast as you can in the correct direction

[honest marsh]

hmm, in what way?

[idle crane]

Awesome trailer. I will give you the creator role

[rain valve]

I havent seen that armor set combo, is it like modded?

cuz thats cool ash

[rustic locust]

tyty!

[idle crane]

See everyone calling me Mantis. Its a completely different person

[tender quest]

yessir

[rain valve]

if i have the game on steam can i mod it still?

[tender quest]

Oh my God.

[rustic locust]

Wait till i upload next vid, I think halfsword may be my calling

[rustic locust]

thanks!!

[ebon ermine]

let me guess, sparks into the sky

[scarlet kite]

yup

[ebon ermine]

[scarlet kite]

i didnt expect to get that sky effect though

[ebon ermine]

looks like a galaxy or something

[idle crane]

https://youtu.be/nxu9eN_f1FE?si=AcEJE5okSTIN_acw Just posting it here with my embed perms

[honest marsh]

just watched the trailer, very nice!

[honest harness]

.

[scarlet kite]

also have these variants

[honest harness]

yeee lvl 2 boys

[scarlet kite]

i should have blurred it a little to get rid of those visible waves

[ebon ermine]

the thing i liked the most was the start, lowk peak he has talent 🙏

[rustic locust]

aye yes I was thinking might repost in creators

if thats ok

[idle crane]

go ahead. Idk if it will embed or if you need level 2 there aswell

[rustic locust]

lets find out, i'll delete if not

[ebon ermine]

nah you dont need it, gyo's level 1 and can post there

[woven shadow]

Fuck you mantic number two

[ebon ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/threat-gif-26347862

[honest harness]

amazing trailer man nearly perfect just wish that default fov was a little bit higher 🫡

[idle crane]

Not nice. Thats Mantis not Mantic. Completely different names

[rustic locust]

haha thanks, i cant wait to create more with coming content

if the devs add some sorta spec cam situation/replays, the creative possibilities would be insane, just saying x

[woven shadow]

Fuck you mantis

[rustic locust]

fight me

[ebon ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/kitten-angry-cat-angry-kitten-violence-violent-cat-gif-1754975238705756693

[woven shadow]

How

[honest harness]

checked ur YT instanly seen a GunZ vid u got my sub lol

[rustic locust]

haha hell yeah man that Gunz documantary took months to make, its getting hosted on steam soon

[idle crane]

Leave him alone. You are being rude

[woven shadow]

20 views for that work

Good algorhythms

[idle crane]

Well like it

[rustic locust]

ah, I get paid to make content for people with audiences, good enough for me

[woven shadow]

You both get paid?

[honest harness]

ill give it a watch man that game was sick when i played i never put in enough time too get good like most ppl did the shit ive seen ppl do in that game is crazy

[woven shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/kevin-levrone-please-dont-stop-the-music-gif-14433227417231699794

Kevon levron

[honest harness]

played both but chiv on controller and mordhau years and years ago 😵‍💫

[honest marsh]

I have like 1k hours on each (except chiv 2 which I havent really played) and for sure that has given me a head start in half sword

[scarlet kite]

Space stuff

[ebon ermine]

i used to play mordhau

[honest harness]

was peak

[honest marsh]

i still play mordhau

[ebon ermine]

fr, i've had chivalry 2 for years now but i never played it since i got it for free

[honest marsh]

not the same as it used to be though

[woven shadow]

Play half sword on gamepad its unreal

[mortal sonnet]

Not to get your hopes up but now its looking possible we get one more playtest update

[ebon ermine]

mordhau was just better

at least for me

[honest marsh]

nice!

[honest harness]

yea felt more clean and smooth

chiv 2 just kinda feels old

[honest marsh]

mordhau combat is better than chiv 2 combat, but chiv 2... idk, atmosphere? map / battle design? is better than mordhau imo

i still prefer mordhau though

[ebon ermine]

i cant see how many hours i have on mordhau since i uninstalled it 😭

[honest harness]

atmosphere was peak i must say

those stupid like 100v100s.....

[warped apex]

I like to use the wood part of the spear to attack lol

[ebon ermine]

probably not that many i was very casual and was only there for the fun shit

[honest harness]

casual was best way too be

[tough yew]

good shit man!

[ebon ermine]

i would download mordhau again but thats gonna kill my internet

[rustic locust]

tyty ❤️ glad you enjoyed it!

[honest harness]

the pve mode was my favourite

horde

[ebon ermine]

i mostly played on those custom servers

for 1v1s and shit

fuck it im a redownload mordhau

Stabbing Advice 🔪

When stabbing with alt (with swords), pull your weapon in closer to your body as opposed to extending your elbow out. It's much more accurate and stable.

Alternatively If it's a two handed weapon it is recommended to hold right click first, then drag your mouse to aim the weapon. Then from there double click and hold left mouse (you can try alt a little as well but clicking is more stable)
This is a much more stable and accurate stabbing pose, and a proper halfsword thrusting stance.

To practice your aiming, there's two different ways you can keep your FOV.
Third Person- with Low FOV, so you get a closer view.
or alternatively;
First Person- with High FOV, so you get a wide view of your weapon and it's positioning.
-# note, this works best for polearms or two handed swords

I gotchu

[honest marsh]

focus on moving your mouse in straight lines and not too fast

[honest marsh]

oh nice

[worn heron]

I mean, Willie gotchu

[peak sinew]

Do I use the ALT key or double click? I know one was much better than the other, but I don't remember which

[honest marsh]

personally I prefer to use the alt key

[worn heron]

Alt is definitely better for one handed weapons, and for polearms. It takes some practice for sure. Also, disabling Lockon will allow you to aim upwards towards their necks and such with alt stabbing. Usually, it'll lock towards their stomach/core area.

[peak sinew]

Oh? Is disabling lockon a setting?

[worn heron]

Just tap F! You can toggle it on and off at a whim

[steel harness]

I CANT SEND PICS

[ebon ermine]

you're not high enough level

[worn heron]

When the circle closes in, it means its toggled on. It's only active when you hold your mouse buttons

[ebon ermine]

accidentally dropped my sword instead of recording

[peak sinew]

I did not know that- Is there a way to tell if it is off?

[worn heron]

You've been here since August 2024, I can prolly hook you up with perms

Black Hole.

[ebon ermine]

[ebon ermine]

[ebon ermine]

[honest marsh]

alt stab with longsword

[steel harness]

.

[worn heron]

When the circle opens up and dissipates, it's disabled. You can also change the strength of Lockon in the settings

[scarlet kite]

i legit just fucked with the sliders and it happened to turn out like a black hole
it was just some small fine-tuning from there

[worn heron]

[scarlet kite]

i never thought of taking a pic of it but i was looking around for things in the environment to photograph and found it

also got this out of it

[ebon ermine]

stabbing is for losers

[ebon ermine]

jesus christ

[peak sinew]

I am jelaous of that control! Usually I can't thrust for shit (and I am the polax user!)

[honest marsh]

its just practice really, focus on smooth and straight mouse movements when practicing stabs

[peak sinew]

I am a double loser, then: I want to stab, but I cannot

[worn heron]

I gave you image/gif perms, just please make sure to brush up on the #rules when it comes to posting stuff. no political or NSFW stuff, etc, please

[honest marsh]

stabbing was what won most wars and why polearms exist 😛

there are those, however, that don't know how to take advantage of their long sticks

[ebon ermine]

stab stab stab

[ebon ermine]

thats why wars are losers

[peak sinew]

I did manage to thust at some poor sap's butt with a dagger, so there's that

[honest marsh]

lmao first one was more like you walking into him than a stab

[ebon ermine]

indeed

[honest marsh]

although I guess you walking into him with the pointy end of your sword is technically a stab haha
