Imagine being able to decapitate with a kick to the head

[torpid mortar]

"COWARD!" this happening 0.2 seconds later:

[round stone]

"Cuckold" this happening 0.2 seconds later:

@torpid mortar did you already see this clip?

Mf turned into an helicopter with his last breath

[torpid mortar]

damn

[round stone]

@make it a quote

[torpid mortar]

"This is my final move"

[round stone]

Funny thing is that actually did some damage

Now I wished I had stayed still and take his helicopter attack fully

[torpid mortar]

there is a dagger in my gut and i do not like it

[round stone]

You are not a spear wielder, you can take a knife to the gut

[torpid mortar]

i died

[fringe raven]

now that i watched my recording i think i found another basically i put a big kick in the side of the thorax. I don't know if the interior is modeled but a bone could have very well pierced a lung

[round stone]

[broken moat]

.

@soft osprey is it possible to have only longsword? no armor

[torpid mortar]

how do i check my level

[broken moat]

[torpid mortar]

there are no ranks for level 3 and above

[broken moat]

no idea, he just said that to be able to send pictures u need to be at least lvl 2

an d that u can get by chatting

[soft osprey]

It is if you use the trainer or QOL mod, and you can save the Loadout with the loadout selector mod

[soft osprey]

[soft osprey]

Haha askin the wrong guy, I don’t use the mods 😅

Ask over in #modders-guild-hall

[broken moat]

all good mate, i am just a bit lost in it haha

[winter wasp]

Kinda can, just have to line up your kick with your sword, so that the kick pushes the sword further in, decapitating Sir Willie.

[winter wasp]

slight headache

[round stone]

In 14.000.000 multiverses, someone probably was able to do that

[winter wasp]

I remember i had a clip of it, god knows what i named it though.

if i end up finding it, i'll be sure to send it here

Lining up your sword with your kick is not as hard as someone might think

it's just that the direction and amount of force has to be perfect

Cause you also need for it to lodge in first, with the blade facing our dear Willie

that's the hard part

close attempt

[true zealot]

had to put him to sleep

[winter wasp]

You just put a man to sleep with your armpit

now that's what i call a true proffesional.

[winter wasp]

you've gotta have the most diverse variety of gifs i've ever seen someone have

[winter wasp]

Wonder what number this militus challange is

trying it out

[tender quest]

5th i think

[slim sequoia]

i would love to see the gore in this game made into a shooter 😋

[winter wasp]

You know what would be epic, on the topic of HS's mechanics?

If the people over here at Half-Sword made a Minecraft mod that's basically just the combat that's in Half-Sword

Imagine it.

[round stone]

Playing with max damage to player

[winter wasp]

combat related mods and such for mc are pretty small, most they do is change the animation

[winter wasp]

does feel like that when you get hit by it

[timid imp]

nah i just suck

[round stone]

You sure? He just tapped your shoulder, and didnt even use the edge of the blade

[dark hazel]

[quartz geyser]

I killed willie so hard he got two torsos.

SHAVING THE ARM OFF lol

https://tenor.com/view/oof-meme-gif-25793745

[quartz geyser]

YEAH

EXACTLY

[slim sequoia]

that happens easily if you slice them in half and they just do a harry potter typa shit spell and spawn more clothes out of no where

[winter wasp]

Definetly doing that everytime i get the chance to grab him or when he grabs me

love leaving willies armless

[round stone]

Nice sword holder

"Where did I left my sword? Oh right"

[quartz geyser]

So beans and doorhinged.

[dark hazel]

"why is my sword holder screaming?"

[round stone]

To locate your sword easily

[calm ivy]

Same! ESPECIALLY after a grab lol

[timid imp]

"Why does my sword holder smell like its rotting?"

[dark hazel]

it's a feature

[quartz geyser]

I want to use a willie as a nunchuck.

[dark hazel]

"why is my sword holder staining my carpet?"

[round stone]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-shocked-monkey-disappointed-disappointed-monkey-gif-25631537

[winter wasp]

Gonna be having to try that later on a higher tier, since it's almost impossible not to accidentally shave willie's head off after a couple seconds in a lower one

[gilded pagoda]

Anyone able to elaborate on grabbing? Sometimes an enemy wont even let me go when they're down on the ground almost dead while my character just lets go of grabbed enemies at random

[round stone]

Baki style human nunchuk

[winter wasp]

Nothing much to elaborate on that, they just do that, it'll be very likely fixed in EA

[dark hazel]

tf is a baki

[round stone]

It has been discussed to exhaustion

Just wait till early access

[gilded pagoda]

when are they rolling out EA

[round stone]

https://tenor.com/view/baki-baki-hanma-netflix-ogre-anime-gif-17317987594888449408

[winter wasp]

quarter 4 of this year

[calm ivy]

Willies on playtest are RELENTLESS with grabs. If you don't kill them/make them let go, they can hold on INDEFINITELY (as mentioned though, it'll prolly be fixed in EA)

[round stone]

Decile 12 of this year

[dark hazel]

will EA be free or paid

[round stone]

Lol

[winter wasp]

There are a few ways to get out of Willie grabbing you, but none have a 100% success rate.

First one would be grabbing his hand back, for me he usually lets go, some rare exceptions where he doesn't.

Second one would be just kicking him from the side, down to the ground, effective.

Or if you're in a position to, trying what i did in that one clip and spinning with your sword into his arm.

[dark hazel]

aw

[gilded pagoda]

price?

[dark hazel]

million dollars

[round stone]

[gilded pagoda]

thats so expensives i cant afords

Lmfao

[gilded pagoda]

you will buy it for me tho its alright

[round stone]

Grabbers just be like that

[winter wasp]

Willie is craving physical touch

[round stone]

Willie the victim?

[quartz geyser]

He's grown too attached.

[round stone]

This exactly same Willie the victim?

[quartz geyser]

Willie's kind of a freak.

Bro was, indeed, the cause of his death

Another correct way to interact with a grabber

[whole parrot]

i actually dont know what happened here

but i am pretty sure i created enough force to propel me upwards

[timid imp]

stupid little dance

autoparry is so fucking annoying

[tender quest]

bet you arent even moving your mouse, this autoparry is out of control

[timid imp]

i have my cat on my mousepad rn so im moving my mouse like a few millimeters each time i do move it

it keeps like dragging my sword to the center when im in shrike

like right before im able to do the thing i have to do the game goes "nah we gonna go into the center so you fuck up your swing and get stuck in a close up with a dude using an arming sword"

[vapid hull]

Everyone needs a polearm.

[rare turtle]

I'm still not used to the new combat of the playtest version

[vapid hull]

T‘is generally funner imo

[rare turtle]

I'm so used to the demo version's sword swings

I feel like the demo seems easier

[vapid hull]

I wound up hating the demo

I always felt it was too stiff for me

[rare turtle]

Hmmm I feel like it's pretty easy to swing and control the sword I usually decapitate an npc with just one hit

[broken moat]

killing in demo is way easier but also noskill

in playtest u actually need to know what are u doing at least a bit to be able to kill someone

)my opinion)

[rare turtle]

Maybe because I'm not really familiar and know how to attack effectively in the playtest version

[warped apex]

I got a nice stab under the visor

[whole parrot]

how the turned tables

[night lion]

when is the next update gonna be?

Early Access isn't out yet

[sterile zodiac]

[sterile zodiac]

[naive holly]

Early Access is the actual game. Devs said the playtest represents 5% of early access. And it releases this winter

[sterile zodiac]

5%???

poah

now im intrigued

[naive holly]

Yehyeh it'll be exciting to see. No one knows much though. Only what we have in #work-in-progress

Wait I just realized... there isnt halberds why isnt there halberds?

[terse cypress]

There are

what you mean

[neat jasper]

Was such a clean slice even his helmet couldn't withstand it

[terse cypress]

I love when you slice so hard a metal helmet has the durability of paper mache

[robust hedge]

I mean technically yes but not like stereotypical halberds, like you've got multiple billhooks

[neat jasper]

Exactly, I love it

[terse cypress]

There are several “stereotypical” halberds

[neat jasper]

Yes, with the 2 handed axe. But it is very hard

[robust hedge]

no there arent what are you talking about

[terse cypress]

there quite literally are but okay

[robust hedge]

#photography📷 message this is not in the game

[lapis marsh]

there are halberds

[terse cypress]

THANK YOU

[lapis marsh]

it is basically yeah

[robust hedge]

what?

where

what

[lapis marsh]

poleaxes are the same thing

[robust hedge]

no they arent

[terse cypress]

Doesn’t halberd literally translate to poleaxe?

[agile orbit]

yeah, not as stable as the small one in my video

the Axe_C axes are perfect for throwing

[robust hedge]

Poleaxes are fundamentally different, poleaxes are seperate pieces and harder to make, normally more knightly where as a halberd is a soldiers weapon

[lapis marsh]

wdym poleaxes are seperate pieces

[terse cypress]

All halberds are poleaxes

[lapis marsh]

this is a poleaxe

[terse cypress]

But not all poleaxes are halberds

[neat jasper]

True, I only ever hit the perfect head splitting axe headshot once and then never tried again. It was agony

[robust hedge]

As in a poleaxe is seperate pieces of metal spot welded together with langots

Halberds are also longer than poleaxes

[honest whale]

anyone else managed to cut willie in half vertically before ?

[lapis marsh]

poleaxes are close enough

[robust hedge]

In contrast a halberd is just one stamped piece of metal

[lapis marsh]

oh wait

we have billhooks

those are like halberds too

[terse cypress]

a. Halberd. Is. A. Type. Of. Poleaxe.

[robust hedge]

no they arent, they were used by a different class of people and serve a different purpose

[lapis marsh]

they are big axe attached to big stick used to murder

theyre basically the same thing unless youre really pedantic

[terse cypress]

not to mention people back then didn’t feckin classify each thing

Sword was sword, axe was axe, and so on

[agile orbit]

I bet that if there's ever multiplayer in this game, there will be some players who will excel at throwing stuff and killing others before they even realise that something's flying at them hahah

[robust hedge]

yes they did? the average soldier didnt but the more scholarly types atleast tried

[terse cypress]

lmfao no they did not

There are manuscripts which prove you wrong

[robust hedge]

and we dont have any halberds, we've got poleaxes and we've got billhooks but they arent halberds

[robust hedge]

Hence I said tried, ofc they failed miserably and they didnt agree on anything but some of them TRIED

[lapis marsh]

why do you want halberds specifically

[robust hedge]

because they are based and cool

[terse cypress]

You said yes they did.

[neat jasper]

The ultimate viral clip will be someone perfectly throws a two handed axe at you and you spin kick it away

[lapis marsh]

poleaxes are baseder and cooler

[terse cypress]

Don’t backpedal

[neat jasper]

that would be sooooo amazing

[lapis marsh]

because they have a hammer head too

[terse cypress]

Poleaxes are great

Bonk, slash, AND stab?

[robust hedge]

but the more scholarly types atleast tried
I elaborated but your lobotomite mind didnt see it

[terse cypress]

epic weapon 9/10

[terse cypress]

.

Reread what you said

Slowly.

[robust hedge]

HENCE WHY I SAID ELABORATED MONKEY

I have seen literal apes with more intelligence than you

[terse cypress]

Your insults are furthermore proof that you don’t have an actual argument.

I will not humour you further.

[robust hedge]

There is literally no way I can argue when you are just ignoring what I said

[terse cypress]

I’m not, but whatever

if it makes you feel better then go for it I honestly do not care

[terse cypress]

Don’t halberds kind of have a hammer or is the back just thin blunt and sad?

[lapis marsh]

this is a halberd

we basically have this

gouges or whatever theyre called

there are a lot of different weapons which boil down to 'metal blade on big stick'

Is what I meant to tag you in

[worn heron]

Tyty

[terse cypress]

You’re welcome

[terse cypress]

This makes that image even worse by the way (courtesy of Wikipedia, I know.)

A goedendag was a weapon originally used by the militias of Medieval Flanders in the 14th century, notably during the Franco-Flemish War. The goedendag was essentially a combination of a club with a spear. Its body was a wooden staff roughly 90 cm to 150 cm long with a diameter of roughly 5 cm to 10 cm.

WHAT PART OF THAT MENTIONS SWIZTERLAND

not to mention that goedendag is a DUTCH phrase

Anyways that’s my rant done

Here’s a wholesome picture of willies

[neat jasper]

I have no idea how a single slash to a full covering helmet not only popped it right off but did this

[terse cypress]

Physics

Or a lack thereof

[neat jasper]

well the popping it right off yes

but I wasn't expecting to do that thru a full helmet in 1 hit

[terse cypress]

Mans hit the dude so feckin hard he nearly lost his entire face

[neat jasper]

I gotta tone it down fr

Didn't know I was Thor

[terse cypress]

If the playtest had the skull smashing of the demo I’d say you should hit harder instead, but alas

Also he’s fine, just a little plastic surgery and no one would be any the wiser

[neat jasper]

"I'm still standing after all this time"

yes

greatsword as well

[terse cypress]

he said it like he was saying working both at once lmao

[neat jasper]

Greatsword is what most people use

M favorite weapon is the 2 handed axe the peasants have

[jolly gorge]

greatsword is the big one right?

[terse cypress]

No

It’s the tiny dagger

[neat jasper]

Well that could be true when the weapon customization comes out....

[jolly gorge]

well I mean there's like 3 swords and a cutlass, so the huge one the armored class gets, is that the greatsword?

[boreal path]

there is no cutlass

[terse cypress]

No that’s called a greatsword

So yes

It’s a greatsword

[neat jasper]

we do a little bit of trolling

[terse cypress]

Just a tiny ass grip and a massive sword blade

[jolly gorge]

whatever the weird shaped one is that you see with the sheild

i aint gonna learn em ima keep it real.

Big sword, medium sword, Small sword, Dagger

I'm not a sword or history buff but pretty sure europeans didn't use katanas

I love lying I lie all the time. That was a lie.

there were plenty of “light armor” weapons in europe

not everyone was a knight

[terse cypress]

You know what I mean

[boreal path]

yeah

[boreal path]

samurai armor isn’t particularly light either tbh

[terse cypress]

And I said knights

[boreal path]

yeah

[jolly gorge]

lemme get a shuangshou jian. That's like one of the 3 swords I know

i know, but they’re not the entire military force and they should not be the only considered factor

[terse cypress]

yeah

[neat jasper]

Doug Marcaida is a beast

[jolly gorge]

educate me, whats the difference between that and a greatsword

[terse cypress]

longsword not beeg

greatsword beeg

Much beeg

didn’t personal guards use greatswords

for the nobles

[boreal path]

there isn’t really

bastard sword is a nothing term too

other than arming sword and falchion pretty much every european sword is a longsword

but greatswords do have their own terms by the 1500s

schlachtschwert, montante, etc

[terse cypress]

Beeg slash stick

[boreal path]

generally the difference between that and a longsword is that it can’t be sheathed

and it can compete with pikes

[jolly gorge]

Also whats the big axe that looks like a bardiche? I love using that

[terse cypress]

Swiss Voulge?

[boreal path]

nothing swiss about it

halberd or voulge or glaive or whatever regional term you see fit works

anyone can use a greatsword

if you can use a longsword you can use a greatsword

[jolly gorge]

Right but I thought the halberd was like a Spike, axe and hammer

[terse cypress]

those are all different things to my limited knowledge but okay

[jolly gorge]

Then a little bastard pokey stick at the bottom

[boreal path]

halberd is a broad term that means cutting implement on the end of a stick in-period

later halberds converge into the one you know

[boreal path]

they have been hijacked by pop culture to mean different things

they’re basically all just a stick with a choppy on toppy

[jolly gorge]

appreciate the education. Didn't do history in school unironically so I know next to nothing beyond what games teach me lol

[boreal path]

that’s what i’m here for

unironically my favorite thing to do on this server is talk about arms and armor

[jolly gorge]

like 98% of my knowledge on weapons comes from for honor and AC unity

[terse cypress]

AC is not a game to look to for that sort of thing

[boreal path]

the hundred years’ war, the war of the roses, the guelphs vs ghibellines

[boreal path]

neither is for honor

they just make stuff up for literally everything

[terse cypress]

Yeah

[jolly gorge]

yeah I didn't go on there looking for it tbf I went on there for parkour and there was a halberd so I got happy

[terse cypress]

What the feck was that

[jolly gorge]

also got that game because the trailer got me hyped and, at the time, hadn't seen a game like it. Really like that game too

[boreal path]

i look away for one second

[terse cypress]

Lmao

[boreal path]

it is fun sometimes

but not a good source for anything at all ever

wipe your memory of all it taught you

[jolly gorge]

oh for sure, games rarely are. It taught me patience but that's about it

There is no multiplayer #faq

[summer cloud]

When it comes to outdoors combat, whomever has the longest stick wins.

also your'ere

[lapis marsh]

if you think about it guns are just really long sticks

[summer cloud]

A gun is just a javelin for pussies

A crossbow is a javelin for children

And a barrel, and a projectile

[lapis marsh]

it stab people very far away

hence, spear

[summer cloud]

And high explosives

The projectile is the bullet, my friend 😛

The striker is a part of the brass casing

anyone else like getting small cuts through armor gaps

Still not impenetrable though, even an idiot such as myself can find the gaps and do some stab

meanwhile poleaxe can just beat the enemy to death

[twilit escarp]

I don't have too many chiv clips, apart from this absolutely bullshit counter in a 3v1

They did not weigh that much lmao

[formal chasm]

its too slow

[lapis marsh]

my point still stands

but it's not about weight, it's about leverage, force, and the fact that steel is harder than your skull

would you rather get a laceration or a concussion/brain hamerorahge
