halfsword-chat-⚔

[north trout]

thanks for clarifying pookie

[tired tapir]

You have to hold it high though

[serene tulip]

Like this, the first clip

[north trout]

why did they have to nerf the way you hold polearms, you used to be able to twirl it around and shit. that was perfect for swords, spears etc

[modern whale]

is there a way to change keybinds ?

[north trout]

cant view it because discord is stinky :'(

have you ever seen someone fight with a Montante?

its VERY silly but also VERY effective if you know how to use it

[worn heron]

The only way currently is through steam custom keybindings

[modern whale]

why haven't they implemented a way to change keybinds yet ? its like the second thing that gets added after a demo or playtest is pushed

[nimble oasis]

HOW DARE YOU

[north trout]

its a sword that is so long it's basically a spear

[worn heron]

more ergonomics will be added with EA, it just hasn't been high on their priority list tbh. I do agree with you that it is pretty important, though.

[languid temple]

i have the baron unlocked. if i play gauntlet mode and die again do i lose him?

[worn heron]

I believe not

[languid temple]

they fixed it?

[worn heron]

Recent patches have changed that yeah

[light monolith]

I'D DO IT AGAIN!

[worn heron]

I havent unlocked him but he's supposed to stay unlocked permanently

[nimble oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/lolol-gif-19769086

[worn heron]

no not that one

[nimble oasis]

ik

[maiden umbra]

what the fuck am i going to do with a carpet

[nimble oasis]

just kidding😂

[sacred apex]

i just beat him

the final boss

[worn heron]

what was that old dirtbiking game that EA sports put out on the GameCube

[sacred apex]

that took WAYYY too long

[worn heron]

that shit was heat

[worn heron]

fly?? Dummy

haven't you ever seen aladdin

[ionic light]

I love impaling people with that new spear thats like the poncue or something but more uniform cause the tip is so long i think it actually sticks out the other side of people so its satisying

[modern whale]

where can I find that ?

[short cloud]

on steam

[north trout]

swung and it's not a polearm, the long part is the blade. it was mainly used by body guards and point defense, you know making sure people don't come too close. we know this because of the Old Master's manuals so this isn't up for debate, its just the truth. dont you dare hit that objection button

[modern whale]

no shit

[north trout]

nope, the blade is so long that it can be used both as a spear and in a similar fashion to a poleaxe/halberd

it is if they're too far away/there's only 1 opponent

look up "how was the montante used" and watch some videos on it

[north trout]

swords as long as the montante do exist in game, and they screwed with how long weapons work

[worn heron]

gotta go thru files looks like

[north trout]

i said "spears, swords etc"

[modern whale]

thanks

[keen vapor]

I'm new to the game and mediocre at it. Does anyone have any tips on how to get better?

[worn heron]

The Montante and the Zweihanfer are fundamentally the same thing, a Greatsword— which we have

[lean niche]

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

[Watch This Clip to see it in action!](#game-footage-🎮🎥 message)

[worn heron]

Willie has stabbing tips

thats willie

be nice

not when you're out here trying to help people

[north trout]

Zweihander was also of Germanic descent, whereas the Montante is of Spanish. There are minor differences because of this :3

[gusty flame]

never insult willie like that!

[north trout]

but yes, they handle very similarly.

[worn heron]

true I can't argue that. The terms are used interchangeably but there are minor differences

[north trout]

notably the Zweihander sometimes came with a wavy blade - not unlike that of a Flamberge, whereas the Montante almost never did

[worn heron]

anyway this is my daily plug for #1361486193476370562 please post your Schnoz Pics there

flamberged Zweihander...

[north trout]

this is because the Spanish were focused on keeping tradition alive, whereas the German Culture hadn't evolved very far from their roots in Nomadic lifestyle, so they just used what worked

[ruby ether]

Woah. beating knights heads in with metal gloves is satisfying.

[worn heron]

and they also wanted funky wavy swords

[north trout]

You know how the first Roman Empire fell? Those barbarians? Those were Germans

well, proto-Germans more like but those were in fact nomadic people from modern-day Germany

[worn heron]

Proto-Germans sound like cyborgs

[north trout]

yeah? just because they're nomadic doesn't mean they didn't use agriculture, for example the Norse had viking-seasons. in summer they'd grow crops whereas in the winter, when they couldn't grow anything they'd raid

[serene tulip]

Man I love pulling off helm splitters

[plucky birch]

am i insane or did handling/physics get like way worse this update ,,.,Except for fist fighting fist fighting is so good now

[north trout]

i don't know why they were migrating, but still my point stands.

[solemn holly]

you're losing it

[plucky birch]

Its Okay Friend

[short cloud]

the disrespect is crazy

[worn heron]

polearm handling is definitely more floppy

[light monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/omni-man-omni-man-are-you-sure-are-you-sure-gif-2092851540894037985

not erect?

[ruby ether]

By the way, who is this golden dude? I'm freeplaying as him right now. Very cool

[worn heron]

El Baron

I main polearms trust me they are more floppy

[ruby ether]

Who dat

[plucky birch]

ummm idk aobut that every good slice kinda cuts you in half and blocking seems alot harder now

[worn heron]

they do not handle as well as they did previously

[maiden umbra]

Why doesnt ovrdth work for me anyone know?

[light monolith]

...

[somber geyser]

W

[light monolith]

does bro know

[maiden umbra]

like i cant choose classes it wont load in the game

[worn heron]

Barons are noble ranks above a knight but below a viscount

[pallid oar]

i mean the physics js got better, it would be hard to block fast with like 10-50 kg weapons

[worn heron]

the demo is a new build, the old OVRDTH selector doesn't work with it

[light monolith]

brodie, thats for playtest, we r back in demp

[fringe obsidian]

VISCOUNT

[light monolith]

demo

[light monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/spelling-mistake-minor-spelling-mistake-meme-gif-23650588

[plucky birch]

im thinking about t3 longswords and arming swords mainly Cus thats what i mostly played with in the playtest

[maiden umbra]

yeah but didnt ovrdth just now update his selector mod that includes the new baron rank?

[ruby ether]

Are viscounts a future boss? When do I face barons in the game?

[plucky birch]

Ok i will try Gentle

[pallid oar]

still, they gotta be like minim 3 kg and max like 5 kg, still kinda hard to handle irl if you don't got muscle. the devs only tried to make the game more realistic

[light monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/tweaking-out-black-guy-tweaking-meme-gif-6022943353035016664

[vapid hull]

We want the playtest handing back </3 (I am we)

[craggy prairie]

ANYONE ELS KKEP ON CRASHING?

[pallid oar]

after all it's just a demo so i think they'll make the physics a bit better later

[vapid hull]

Just you

[worn heron]

potentially? They are a higher status of nobility but viscounts have been involved in combat before.

The baron is the final rank, the gold armour

[craggy prairie]

Idk why but i keep hardcrashing

[plucky birch]

i Think ur just throwing around realistic as a buzzword Real longswords and arming swords go pretty fast and handle pretty well man

[vapid hull]

Hello girg :)

[serene tulip]

The polearm handling seems mostly okay to me this update.
There's a couple outliers, but really what drives me mad is the weird "bobbing" bug that appears sometimes . You can see my character randomly crouching uncontrollably, makes it a bit hard to aim and can destabilize you.

[plucky birch]

and im pretty sure willie would be like. capable

[pallid oar]

i mean ngl, just either max out the sens in-game or put more dpi on your mouse if you can

[worn heron]

big agree

[pallid oar]

that smack as diabolical

[vapid hull]

As fun as this is, it really feels like all you can do is sweep. They lost their verticality.

[fringe obsidian]

Bow

[craggy prairie]

How do you do that....

[vapid hull]

Not to mention how difficult it is to be precise with spears with the new handling

[pallid oar]

pressing x while having the polearm raised all the way i think

[plucky birch]

My point is they do not handle as well as they did during the last playtest they feel super off

[vapid hull]

I 100% agree with you

[dapper coral]

Damn, the amount of times an abyss run ends because picking up a weapon removes my limbs :/

[worn heron]

yes they did

they absolutely did lol

[plucky birch]

The Playtest with the ranks and stuff

[vapid hull]

They absolutely did lmao

[fringe obsidian]

Only rali can it’s in the code

[worn heron]

they even said they did

[pallid oar]

i mean I saw, in the playtest i could've literally just slash barrage and in the demo i can barely get like a few fast swings

[plucky birch]

you were able to pull pretty good blocks in the playtest but now it seems all floppy and erratic

[vapid hull]

Did they do it intentionally, or was it a byproduct of migrating the playtest?

[pallid oar]

still it's demo

[light monolith]

ouch

[plucky birch]

Playtest phyiscs 🤤

[worn heron]

several weapon types were given handling tweaks, and some animation tweaks too

[plucky birch]

Hmm il post it in another channel

[pallid oar]

you don't got media perms? js asking

[vapid hull]

They nerfed my ass </3

[serene tulip]

The Voulge is so stupidly powerful you can't really use it wrong imo.
But it is fun to get presice with it and bully the Willies

[plucky birch]

i talk here like . Never

[worn heron]

you don't have image perms. I can change that tho— looks like you've been here longer than me even lol

[plucky birch]

This Would be Nice Actually

[pallid oar]

ima js upload the video you sent here for everyone

[plucky birch]

Thx friend

[worn heron]

we added the levelling system late 2024 so any previous messages wouldn't have counted, so I gotchu

[pallid oar]

np

[maiden umbra]

is there an alternative then?

[turbid sinew]

tbh I also sometimes think "yeah that weapon is OP" then I realize that its pretty realistics, weapons are indeed OP

[vapid hull]

The new physics just seem so non precise

[maiden umbra]

but why doesnt ovrdth work if he just now updated it?

[vapid hull]

I did :(

[serene tulip]

It's just that the Voulge is so heavy and long that as long as you make a decent amount of contact, it'll send the enemy reeling if not outright kill them.

[plucky birch]

To be fair even in the old ass updates the game went from precise to imprecise physics inbetween updates so i shouldnt be really surprised

[plucky birch]

ZAMN!!!!

[pallid oar]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1344706006071906304/1358099538707091776/togif.gif

[light monolith]

which weapon is that?

[gilded breach]

new version of ovrdth

[worn heron]

There's the trainer mod which allows you to save the current loadout you have, but I'm not sure if OVRDTH has updated his mod or not

[vapid hull]

The second one, you can tell by how much structure and speed the billhook has

[gilded breach]

ovrdth updated u can even transfer ur old loadouts

[pallid oar]

also rly off topic but y'all mods are actually chill in ts server

[maiden umbra]

yeah i have updated it but i still cant load in loadouts?

[maiden umbra]

ts?

[pallid oar]

this

i'm too lazy to type the word all the way

[worn heron]

we try our best to keep this place welcoming and friendly

[vapid hull]

Why you shortening a four letter word

[pallid oar]

for the funnies

[worn heron]

ts sht pmo frfr

[gilded breach]

not rly sure try reinstalling or uninstalling the previous version?

[worn heron]

💔

[vapid hull]

I hope someone slays you </3

[solemn holly]

indecipherable moonspeak garble

[gilded breach]

it shud work

[pallid oar]

🥀

[worn heron]

Me too

[languid temple]

update: you do lose the baron

[maiden umbra]

i have done that but maybe im not using it correctly, is it just opening the selector and then double clicking whichever loadout you want?

[serene tulip]

Bigass glaive-ish looking polearm

[gilded breach]

ye pretty much

[languid temple]

you misled me and i hope you die every round from now on

[vapid hull]

Oh hey it finally sent

[gilded breach]

it wont change in the menu but only when u get into a match

[turbid sinew]

I challenge you to get hit by that thing and still stand upright and/or be alive

[plucky birch]

Playtest Parrying 🤤

[pallid oar]

crazy internet speeds

[worn heron]

I don't think you're supposed to, from everything I've been told.
@little verge am I wrong?

[serene tulip]

that's one of the best neck breaks I've ever seen. One day I'll mess around with hand switching but I'm just too lazy. I like the simplicity in beating enemy's to death without switching

[gilded breach]

ur not supposed to but sometimes it bugs out

[ruby ether]

i wish i had this on recording
i stuck the greatsword into his leg between the armor and carried him by it then slungshot him into a fence

[onyx cobalt]

is it possible to go through breastplates/helms with any stabs? also good job devs, this game is the most fun ive had in a while. really fun combat system

[pallid oar]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1168320748637671496/1352621633738637362/togif.gif

[worn heron]

Not realistically, but if the physics goof up then it can happen

[little verge]

This is a rare bug, it is not supposed to be lost once unlocked.

[languid temple]

i wouldnt be mad except for the fact that actually getting baron unlocked is dumb lukc because the game crashes and glitches so much

[turbid sinew]

not really, but sometimes it'll happen anyways

[serene tulip]

Not perfect but I was pretty happy with this stance switch kill. If I practice it more maybe I can get in there without getting bonked

[worn heron]

I see I see

I am sorry for your loss @languid temple

[onyx cobalt]

ah ok, i thought maybe with the spikes on larger clubs/hammer weapons might be able to go through at the right velocity

[languid temple]

and i hope you die

[worn heron]

valid

[pallid oar]

all i want is the game to be like fully optimized, so i can slaughter like 4 willies at a time with baron

[languid temple]

you should be able to play gauntlet mode and not lose the unlock once you beat the game, they need to fix that

[pallid oar]

they did

[languid temple]

incorrect

[light skiff]

how to fix crashes in ultimate challenge

[worn heron]

there is armour deformation— like denting and such but that's about it

[serene tulip]

Playing around with a shield user trying to get better at parrying their strikes

[balmy sand]

question

[worn heron]

I've heard lowering/turning off blood has been a temporary fix for now

[balmy sand]

is the commoner boss supposed to be like, unwinnable

[worn heron]

no but he's definitely one of the hardest ones

[plucky birch]

u just kinda get a feel for how to beat him after a while

[worn heron]

try to bind his sword with your weapon as you get in close

[pallid oar]

also its crazy how the blood had the most biggest glowup in the dmeo only for it to crash your game

[balmy sand]

this is not helpful 👍

[worn heron]

That's how I take him, at least

[plucky birch]

Oh wait is the commoner the scythe one

[maiden umbra]

so youre not supposed to lose the 1 life gamemode thing where you are the big gold guy?

[plucky birch]

Hey man didnt let me finish typing man

[balmy sand]

i think iv efigured out a move in my head, i'll try it ingame

[worn heron]

If you lose it— you're not supposed to lose the Baron rank (final rank), it's supposed to be permanently unlocked

[languid temple]

idk why people say this it is not true

[serene tulip]

Did slightly better against this shield guy in the end lol.
I'm just used to swinging hard against them to throw them off, but with Voulge, don't need so much force

[maiden umbra]

...................omd

so once i unlock it can i do the fist play gamemode over and over?

[wind flume]

Died n won at the same time and...

[languid temple]

all ive got to go off of are my experiences, when they released baron day of release playing gauntlet again would lose him if u died, and that is true now

[worn heron]

we say this because it IS true did you not read the message from our community manager saying it's a glitch to lose him?

[languid temple]

anyone who says you dont lose baron when dying on replaying gauntlet mode is troll

[balmy sand]

On a more positive note, the long candlestick is a fucking ELITE weapon does it have an official name?

[languid temple]

irrelevant

[worn heron]

Day one of release, he was not permanently unlockable.

[languid temple]

it happened

[pallid oar]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1342922271622430802/1354077943990718505/Anubis_Guard_8_1_1.gif

[peak thunder]

Is the playtest closed? Getting "game not released" when i try to play

[worn heron]

Check the top of #faq , demo is the new build

[wind flume]

Build is on the demo now

[peak thunder]

Oh awesome, thank you

[whole parrot]

broke his spine with like 0 effort for some reason

[worn heron]

"no the bug happened to me so surely you are all lying to me"

that's what you sound like rn

[wind flume]

Other sword fighting games just dont hit after this one tbhg

[languid temple]

i asked, you lied, answer turned out to be a lie

idc if anyone says its a bug its what happenes

[whole parrot]

the cake is a lie..

[balmy sand]

Am i weird for thinking 'modding within the boundaries of our lore is okay' is weird, or am i just horrifically misreading?

[languid temple]

bro u lied

[foggy lion]

Oh hey a wild argument appeared.

[languid temple]

then someone else asked same thing and got the same wrong answer

[worn heron]

[pallid oar]

oh buddy, this is not even CLOSE to an argument

[maiden umbra]

is there a way to not go to the abyss everytime u die?

[vapid hull]

Office wifi

[foggy lion]

IDK seems like a lot of hostility over a free game demo

[vapid hull]

Thanks! It scared me :)

weapon switching is genuinely peak

[worn heron]

brilliant minds in halfsword chat today here

[whole parrot]

crazy overhead

[pallid oar]

diabolical

[languid temple]

p much

[worn heron]

[balmy sand]

long candlestand is elite because you can do the halfsword stance and pull off a charge, and either stab or just swing and knock ur opp with the base

you can manhandle your opponent with the base because it's like four hooks

[worn heron]

go outside. get some sunlight. not everyone is out to get you.

[balmy sand]

you get a lot of bludgeon to work with AND it's all-metal

[languid temple]

no, just the first person who answered in a public forum

[worn heron]

to be fair, that shit would hurt to get hit by 😭

[foggy lion]

Ya candlestick is low key king of begger tier

[worn heron]

bro really thinks I'm out to get him

i

I have no words

[balmy sand]

candlestck is king, i always lunge for that shit if i spot it on spoilance

[languid temple]

its deffo my fault cause i knew the answer alr just thought they had changed it

[worn heron]

I'm gonna go smoke a joint.

[pallid oar]

my brain is frying with yours

[balmy sand]

my tactic ffor abyss is to just grab one and charge forward with it until i collide with my enemie and stab them

[gilded breach]

i rly want this to happen to me

[balmy sand]

does anyone have any footage of htem beating the commoner boss

[whole parrot]

the best beggar weapons for spoilance are your fists

[worn heron]

I wish to receive cancer the cool way

[languid temple]

coo, still replaying ladder rn so this is irrelevant

[whole parrot]

you just have to know how to use em

[balmy sand]

fists are elite when you get gauntlets

[maiden umbra]

is there a way to only play the fist play gamemode?

[balmy sand]

i love doing helmeted headbutts ngl, they're so fucking funny when you pull them of

[vapid hull]

What

[balmy sand]

Trap Queen

[solemn holly]

yes, play freemode and choose peasant

[balmy sand]

it's the epic remix!!!

[worn heron]

In the bottom right on the main menu, there's a button that says "free play"
Press that and you can choose the bottom class

[worn heron]

[plucky birch]

why is the goedendag so ridiculously strong

[maiden umbra]

omd....

[whole parrot]

meanwhile me here throwing haymakers without the need for gauntlets

[worn heron]

It's blunt damage needs to be tuned down and then I think it'd be in a nice spot.

[plucky birch]

fists r so good now u dont even need gauntlets ever

Hello

[gilded breach]

half the playerbase has no eyes istg

[onyx cobalt]

its a tough fight and i think the best way to go is dodge back when he swings and then dodge in for a quick hit to the arm/knee. once the legs are injured its much easier to get a good hit in or rush and throw him to the ground

[pallid oar]

fr

[maiden umbra]

bro my bad lmao i never look down there

[worn heron]

[vapid hull]

All blunt damage needs buffed ackshually

[plucky birch]

the thing that bugs me the most is how like . Walking into it at all immediately hurts u hard. Feels impossible to go around

[worn heron]

be nice there's a reason we had to add shining icons to the classes

[vapid hull]

There are so many stupid questions asked on the daily

[gilded breach]

it alright happens to many

[balmy sand]

just did a helmetted headbutt on a dude

shit is so peak when you can pull it off, all of my non-helmeted headbutts end with me on the ground but with a helmet if you hit the opp in the head you do crazy damage

[maiden umbra]

is there a way to turn off the stamina system............

[worn heron]

I have an old clip of me throwing it at a Willie and it knocking him out with a headshot 😭

[humble bloom]

the placon can be nerfed by making it physically smaller.

Idk what their reference is for the model, but I think it might be oversized for what someone might actually prefer to use irl.

[worn heron]

No sir!

[balmy sand]

pitchfork, halfsworded felling axe, and candlestand are elite weapons

[gilded breach]

try the trainer mod

[balmy sand]

i only got past commoner ONCE and i dont even remember how i beat the boss

[trail nacelle]

God forbid the devs had to apply some quality of life ux changes

[maiden umbra]

wait can you use the ovrdth only in free play or does it also work in the ladder

[spare drift]

is that the big dude with the big sword or the scythe?

[vapid hull]

Please don’t say things like this </3

[urban socket]

Anyone know what the maximum hight for the pc is?

[gilded breach]

only in free play

[ionic light]

That boss gave me a form of ptsd if its the longsword guy... i fear him

[maiden umbra]

ok well i tried to do it in the ladder gamemode so it makes sense ig

[urban socket]

Use the bident on the boss

[vapid hull]

I just run at him with my sword and stab’m

[gilded breach]

ladder has a separate save that ovrdth doesnt interact with

[worn heron]

the main reason was because several, SEVERAL large YouTubers completely missed the classes in the original playtest lmao and thought the game was only fist fighting. When I got moist critikal to play, it was funny, but I wish bro ended up playing with some armour at least 😭😔😔

[spare drift]

what is ovrdth

[vapid hull]

[balmy sand]

goood i fucking LOOOVE the long candlestand

[worn heron]

He is one of our well known community members and made a mod to select custom classes!

[gilded breach]

i can get the bastard sword into his chest pretty reliably just gotta be super careful and get in with slomo after his double slash

[vapid hull]

Yapyapyapyap

[balmy sand]

if you hvea it close up with halfsword it's super easy to just throw your opp down

[trail nacelle]

Stuck in fist play like purgatory poor streamers

[humble bloom]

wait.

Did moistcritical never actaully play anything but fistplay?

[balmy sand]

is there a channel or wiki showing which weapon is which? i lwkey always just go with the wide-bladed longsword because it looks the strongest

[vapid hull]

The thing is its very difficult to parry his greatsword, so its better to just end it asap

[gilded breach]

thats indeed the bastard sword

[worn heron]

Bro was swinging his life away.

[balmy sand]

the short little minifalx thing (not hte sickle) that farmers get is literally the worst fucking weapon in the game

[gilded breach]

i dont parry i keep my distance and let him whiff

[balmy sand]

i have NEVER, and i repeat NEVER been killed by a minifalx user. i've been killed with TONGS but never the mini-falx

[plucky birch]

commoner boss is the greatsword one right ? i always use longsword against him trying to get a snipe across the torso whenever he raises it

[vapid hull]

Das what I’m sayinn

[humble bloom]

we are lucky the games growth wasnt killed by the release of that video.

[gilded breach]

theres no wiki im aware of i just spawned a lot of stuff with the trainer so i learned what is what

[worn heron]

Moist taught me to include how to choose classes in my business emails tho 😭✋

same with Smi77y

[plucky birch]

Honestly my tactic for bosses is try a risky move and if it fails or if i get damaged then immediately surrender

[worn heron]

SMI77Y went back to it tho after a few months and replayed it properly

[balmy sand]

felling axe my beloved, even fi you miss the blade you're still clobbering someone with a metal club

[trail nacelle]

Youbious Tubious

[worn heron]

book to share funny cat stories...

[gilded breach]

[plucky birch]

wishingf ultimate challenge started with an arming sword or a falchion or something Bruh

[ember sun]

When are they adding multiplayer?

[tough yew]

[plucky birch]

Exactly

[humble bloom]

you ARE the arming sword

[plucky birch]

No man im the butchers knife

im the butchers knife going up against a two handed axe or pitchfork or hoe

[tough yew]

say that to the man coming in with a stick with spikes all over it

[gilded breach]

I beat it day one :3

[worn heron]

fuckin nerd

[plucky birch]

i had ONE time where i reached the baron and i wouldve made him surrender on my first fight against him ( i had a goedendag duh)

[spare drift]

oh i’ve done beggar to militia fp only but once the helmets and excessive armor it’a basically impossible

[plucky birch]

but then 1 second after i hit him over the head with it and he fell over my game instantly crashed

[spare drift]

i love fp so much

[balmy sand]

[vapid hull]

Thats disrespectful </3

[worn heron]

I don't want anybody sucking ass in my server

[soft osprey]

I’m sorry, blueberry made me say it

[gilded breach]

its better when half sworded

[vapid hull]

It suffers severely from the left hands inability to hold a grip

[thorny stream]

do you eat cobbler with the gobblers?

[vapid hull]

Bite his neck like the guy from zomboid

[soft osprey]

Does that answer your question

[thorny stream]

i eat sherbert with the perverts

[gilded breach]

fucking hate survival games with a passion

[worn heron]

you need C++ and the game runs on either Dx11 or Dx12 at the moment. More options like DLSS will be available in EA

[soft osprey]

I don’t believe you

[worn heron]

I do be listening to mudvayne rn

I have been

[gilded breach]

its because my persuasion stat isnt high enough cause i didnt craft enough carrot cakes or some bullshit fucking survival game bullshit

[worn heron]

[vapid hull]

I get jumped constantly </3

[spring zenith]

what tf is that 😭

[worn heron]

good luck champ

[plucky birch]

Friend you should be grabbing all that armor Friend

[spring zenith]

i will fail 99%

[gilded breach]

ye so ur feet will cramp and ull die from calcium deficiency fuck all these games

[spring zenith]

it slows you down

[plucky birch]

Yeah but u dont die instantly if u get hit in the head or torso etc

How did u even reach that far B ruh

[worn heron]

hmmmge.. I can see where that can be an issue I honestly have no idea personally, but let me contact the staff team to see if anybody can help, like my Community manager or any of the devs.

[foggy lion]

To be fair, If you go on the ground in armor it's over anyway

[spring zenith]

i didn't get that fatal error 😎

[plucky birch]

thats kinda true

[gilded breach]

instead ull die painfully and slowly cause u didnt find antiseptics in the pharmacy on the other side of the map

[spring zenith]

normally i would get it but smh this time i was lucky

[plucky birch]

my least favorite thing about this update is how often enemies can knock you over by just running into you Bruh its so annoying

[gilded breach]

usually pushing em off works for me like slug it out a lil

[light skiff]

bro what the fuck

i come to end of the ultimate challenge and fatal error

[soft osprey]

Turn off blood for the end

[light skiff]

it fully turned off

from the start

[soft osprey]

Turn down graphics and gore

[pallid oar]

didn't know heads could fly, especially parts of it

[spring zenith]

is that golden knight the final boss?

[light skiff]

yes

[worn heron]

any part you slice can come off where it is sliced

[vapid hull]

I need to find a way to make a candlestick loadout

[spring zenith]

I DID IT

I FLIPPIN DID IT

[plucky birch]

erm did u kill the baron with a longsword and no armor

How

[spring zenith]

NOoo MY PROGRESSS

bro my progress is gone wtf

[gilded breach]

ye thats what happens when u beat it

but if its first time look over at free play

[tired tapir]

Holy hell I just did a neck snap

[violet coral]

Skill

[plucky birch]

i Dont believe that

[spring zenith]

i held the sword sideways with both hands and then i tried to poke the boss on the ribs.

[worn heron]

My first suggestion would be to get whoever has admin access to login to their account for you but I assume that may not be possible for whatever reason

[violet coral]

Only thing more impressive would be to kill him with the pairing knife

[spring zenith]

lets goo pls gimme discord role for champions

[worn heron]

not really tbh lol 🥲

I apologize for the inconvenience

[vapid hull]

Lmfao

[spring zenith]

then goddam make one!

jk

[vapid hull]

Morally correct stance

[spring zenith]

why?

[plucky birch]

playing longsword commoner against knights lowkey fun as Hell Actually

[wicked nimbus]

how the.

[wicked nimbus]

Nice

[glad ore]

Is the lock on feature focused on the upper or lower body? I cut somebody in half and it spazzed out.

[wicked nimbus]

I think its focused on the chest area

[spring zenith]

why is willie white

[spring zenith]

yes like that i did to the boss.

[flat helm]

Hey guys, I discovered a glitch that allows you to play as the baron or any other division in the begger division

[plucky birch]

emmm idk anything about that Honestly

i forgo

[humble bloom]

Ermmm actually the commoners only carry bastard swords, longsword appears later in milita or soldier tier.

[plucky birch]

i like Commoner Bastard Sword

[vapid hull]

Billhook is still peak

Even if it does suck a little more now

[severe hazel]

did anyone else experience the bug when you fight the commoner champion, after a while he will just stop attacking and just holds his sword?

[whole parrot]

why are they called bastard swords... they did nothing wrong!!

[plucky birch]

Did u knock him over first or something i can barely reach his armpit At all

[lone spade]

What is the highest count of tries on the Ultimate Challenge mode?

[humble bloom]

387.44 million

[lone spade]

Currently have 244 minutes of footage on Ultimate Challenge mode.
Might check how many times I died

[red storm]

can i restart the gauntlet?

[spring zenith]

no i just came close to his body and started swinging, but not much. i did little and little so that i could have stamina enough to get out. and i also hit him with legs.

[silent wasp]

the willies in the barron gauntlent are so overpowered holy shit man,one shot by a kick or even the slightest touch

[spring zenith]

he will start crouching a little when u hit him in the legs enough, then u can reach his throat or head level.

[balmy sand]

You don't really want a broken willy

i go sleepy now

[proper palm]

TRUUUUUSTT IINNN MYYYYY SELF RIGHTEOUS SUICIDE!!!!

[gilded turtle]

wait arent u that one guy who made pistols on ppg?

[plucky birch]

Yeah straight up

[gilded breach]

ahhhh my hated nemesis
we meet once more

[gilded turtle]

aint no way

[plucky birch]

Trust me

[plucky birch]

Tap his nose 9 times

[gilded breach]

hellllll nah

[tired tapir]

Drag his head around

[plucky birch]

Tap his Weiner area

[tired tapir]

Castration

[gilded breach]

tf is this dumbass doing

now he is stuck like this

[balmy sand]

Add baikal seals to half-sword
They flop around the arena and smack or bite you if you get close
They smack each other and jiggle
This would be a peak addition especially if you could play as them
||/J||

[balmy sand]

Why did you poke his feet until the bone was visible

[gilded breach]

punishment for all the bugs

[tired tapir]

Punishment for all the fatal errors

[balmy sand]

I wonder if you can skin them

[sinful coral]

Why is his di—…

[balmy sand]

I’ll try tommorow because itd sleepytime for me

[gilded breach]

dick?

FUCK I GOT ABYSSED

[proper palm]

spooky scary skeletons

[small sphinx]

wtf i wasjust playing and my game crahsed

[proper palm]

he all red and cuddly

[hushed meteor]

Quick question. If you want to play Abyss instead of Gauntlet... Do you prefer to just press the button or do you snap your character's neck? 🤔

[proper palm]

snap his willie

[pine fractal]

how are you supposed to beat the ultimate challenge? Just pure luck?

[proper palm]

literal skill

[foggy lion]

Turn player damage down and enemy damage up

[pine fractal]

I mean the willies with gambesons seem to take no damage compared to others

[foggy lion]

You filthy cheater

[fickle tide]

This new update making me humble, I thought I was decent

[fickle tide]

I can’t get passed Soldier in the gauntlet

[foggy lion]

Play militia with the spike stick, EZ

[fickle tide]

You can choose weapons?

[hushed meteor]

You can random gear

[foggy lion]

Ya there's a button at the top that randomizes gear. Just play militia and use the broken spikey weapon

[fickle tide]

Ohhh shit I did not know this

[foggy lion]

I think soldier gets it too, but bonus points means less chances to die randomly

[fickle tide]

Thank yall

[hushed meteor]

God damn it. Got sliced in half vertically and the game crashed lol

[gilded breach]

billhook also works well

[balmy vessel]

is there a way to get baron back after losing it due to a glitch?

[foggy lion]

Ya, so go to gauntlet mode, pick the begger, hit play demo, and suffer. C:

[wicked nimbus]

Is it js me or its so hard to spin kick now

Like i turn slow as heck

[small sphinx]

why is my game crashing so much?

its literally unplayable

[opaque mortar]

Yeah My game crashese everytime I hit someone in abyss and only in abyss

[azure arch]

turn off gore

[left thunder]

Gore too fun doe

[azure arch]

it causes lag ig

[left thunder]

When did they add the skeletons in the game

[azure arch]

alawys

[severe trench]

i go helicopter mode in the void make sure i always have 360 degrees of awareness

[light monolith]

They were not ready for Loftiii

[spare pier]

so i bleed out if i get stabbed in the neck (fair enough) but if i do the same thing to the enemy they dont bleed out?

[light monolith]

god I needed to cough in that clip

packed up

[jolly gorge]

Yo why can't I play the playtest?

[severe trench]

merged w demo

[jolly gorge]

So I should delete it?

[severe trench]

for freeplay click button in bottom right

[winter wasp]

I would shit myself if i saw some guy just come up from behind me and put a sword to my neck

[severe trench]

u can if u want to but its still playable from the .exe file in the file directory

[winter wasp]

Willie's got balls, and i'm also not used to them sneaking up behind me

[jolly gorge]

Which one is better

[severe trench]

i mean the demo is a real game atp

[jolly gorge]

Alr thanks

[severe trench]

unless u cant spare the 1gb of storage id hold onto playtest files for now

[winter wasp]

[spare drift]

is there any way to just turn off going to the abyss after death? id rather just die instantly and lose my progress rather than go through the abyss, win, but then crash and lose my progress anyway

[steel pier]

just quit to menu when you die, its gonna kill your dude anyway no?

[winter wasp]

poked

[spare pier]

i lose my gauntlet progress because i killed my willy in the menu with freeplay selected?????

[worn spear]

id post them here but i cant cuz im not level 3

its not really game footage neither

[mortal pagoda]

[worn spear]

half sword

[deep moat]

You only need level 2 for embeds

[worn spear]

i posted one in photography

its basiclly just screenshots that go hard with that parental advisory sticker slapped on it

yall if half sword comes out i need for half sword games to employ me to make the covers

[mortal pagoda]

Just seen it - post it again with a band name and a song name and let me know when you're done 😄

[snow gulch]

dude is STRAIGHT out of a horror game

[cinder stone]

I just kicked some serious ass

at this point you gotta get your weapon in the way so he can't swing, like I did in my video above in the boss fight

I usually grab a pitchfork and keep distance for the sword guy, get a good thrust in and he's usually down

[desert cloud]

Hello guys just wanted to ask, do we lose our baron characther when we start the gauntlet mode from the beginning once again?

[solid yarrow]

also I wish we could set our rank for freemode, like you could play farmer but fight in the knight category

[solid yarrow]

You should keep Baron in Freemode

[desert cloud]

so no losing our hardgained baron?

[severe trench]

u either have to counterswing (his sword is way heavier than yours) or dodge and stab

slow mo is v helpful for punishing missed swings

[fallow dune]

dude its always the fucking spearmen who kill me in the abyss

[golden granite]

wait you can break people's necks with a mace?? I didn't know that, and their neck doesn't even turn that's weird.

[fallow dune]

EVEN WITH ARMOR THEY ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO KILL YOU

[solid yarrow]

you can break someone's neck with anything, same for any limb

[worn spear]

yeah i was going knight against beggars and one of them stabbed me in the neck and i fucking died

i just now discovered blocking

[unborn sky]

Hi can someone help me, im playing on controller fame is super fun with controller but how to i press the “g to give up” on controller?

[solid yarrow]

Might need to setup a bind in the keybinds tab, don't know if there's anything setup by default on controller to surrender

[mortal pagoda]

I haven't mercy killed someone with one of their own limbs yet, must try

[solid yarrow]

I love polearms

[unborn sky]

How

[twin urchin]

Hacked a dude in half above the hips, and he got up and still tried fighting

[fallow dune]

just use antimicro, you can basically rebind keys on your controller. So you can bind g to let's say D-Pad up

[solid yarrow]

There's a keybind tab in the pause menu, if that doesn't work I think you can setup custom keybinds on steam for controllers?
There's also probably some third-party app that can do that as well.

[silver vector]

it's only for me or it feels this movement like after 0.7 vodka. It looks nice, but movement sadly not for me

[unborn sky]

Ok ty ill try this

[severe hazel]

uh oh, reached ultimate challenge for the first time 💀

[lament wraith]

new record for me,

[solid yarrow]

Good luck

[vagrant laurel]

gentlemen I am going to figure out a way to make this shit multiplayer if its the last thing I do

[soft osprey]

thank you jesus

[foggy lion]

If you do, I might actually start going back to church.

[mortal pagoda]

Try pressing Shift while moving in combat

[manic cradle]

he had enough

[foggy lion]

You shouldn't really be moving all that much to be honest. Just like in real life you need a stable stance so you don't get knocked over.

[solid yarrow]

I want a quarterstaff so I can bully willies

[patent hound]

does anyone know how to solve the "fatal error" crash issue, it happened over 6 times when i've been trying to do the ultimate challenge and it's fucking annoying since it doesn't save any progress

it's like impossible to play

[solid yarrow]

turning gore off can help from what I heard

[foggy lion]

Nope. Ultimate challenge is just really buggy

[patent hound]

😭 I can't take this shit no more

[foggy lion]

Mine would always crash whenever the enemies died and dropped their items.

[patent hound]

I've had fatal error problems even in the gauntlet & before the gauntlet was even in the game ONLY when I cut people in half

the new update seems a little clunkier too, my character falls over more and seems more drunk and the weapons are getting "dull" more often than beofre

[silver vector]

Yeah, it's more firm but hitting the peasant's by moving mouse it's quite a hard one 😄

[silver vector]

thanks

[solid yarrow]

weapons being dull is most likely your alignment getting messed up before/during your swing

[quasi gale]

Use controller it good

[foggy lion]

Ew controller

[solid yarrow]

some weapons lose alignment depending on how you swing it due to the new weight system causing your hits to get messed up.

[silver vector]

Never had it, never gonna have it 😄

[quasi gale]

U ever try it or u just riding to ride

[patent hound]

I have good accuracy, I've been playing the game since the other 3 versions (no issue), only in this newer update have I noticed that the weapons sometimes after swings literally only do blunt damage and fuck me

oh ok

[quasi gale]

To each their own controller half sword is a different type of struggle

[mortal pagoda]

Any tips on adjusting aim height? All my shots seem to be around the chest area and it's doing me in when legs are exposed

[foggy lion]

Lol riding tbh.

[quasi gale]

Lmao

Fair play

[patent hound]

look up and swing

[quasi gale]

Tbh tho swinging up and down with controller feels more precise to me but idk maybe just a skill issue on my end with mouse and keyboard

[mortal pagoda]

Ehh but then I have to break and re enter my stance

[solid yarrow]

looking up or down makes it go higher or lower, although lockon will try to return it to center, if you lower lockon strength you should be able to lower or raise easier while still locked on

[patent hound]

why was lockon toggle ever removed, now I have to tune it up or down because my character wants to face the opposite direction of my actual target

[quasi gale]

Honestly having low lockon strength is good for having more control on the character

Tho if u have issues with aiming then lockon is quite nice

[foggy lion]

Eh, I like the high lock on, it I'm ever in carnage or something I just turn lock on off

[grim nest]

true

[quasi gale]

Yea honestly that's fair when it's 1 on 1 lockon strength is good to have high

[foggy lion]

That said, lock on rules are really weird. I swear sometimes it picks whoever is FARTHEST from where you're looking

[patent hound]

exactly

[serene tulip]

holy shit

[patent hound]

you can't toggle it on or off anymore so you completely turn in the opposite direction

[manic cradle]

willy shaves his nose hair

[solid yarrow]

It isn't, it's on Z now

[forest dune]

how to make stabbing attacks with spears like bots?

[quasi gale]

Solid stab good sir

[patent hound]

thank you

[solid yarrow]

Hold left alt and pull your mouse back and forth

[manic cradle]

is willy's name willy or willie

[solid yarrow]

Also you can go into the keybinds menu and swap it back to F if you want to

[forest dune]

oh ty, I was looking for it in settings and didn't see it

[rustic dove]

Willie I believe

[foggy lion]

Wait I was never able to change key binds, what?

I have extra mouse buttons and I thought I couldn't use them

[fading mulch]

what is the "Ultimate Challange"?

[solid yarrow]

don't know if mouse buttons would work but other buttons on your keyboard should work

[spice dawn]

remove the spiky stick

[verbal lintel]

Why does it take my character 10 years to get up after falling?

[solid yarrow]

is stunned/doesn't have enough stamina, if you get hit again it'll stun/drain your stamina keeping you stuck on the ground.

[tawdry violet]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[solid yarrow]

Oh I'm wrong you can't swap keybinds can only view them :/

[foggy lion]

No don't. That's a real historical weapon. Leave the Plancon alone

[serene tulip]

Make sure you're inputting accordingly to make Willie sit up or get on all fours.

[verbal lintel]

Ohh ok

[foggy lion]

I feel jebaited

[solid yarrow]

I mean you could probably use a program to make your mouse4 or mouse5 button act as another button

[serene tulip]

I love a good helmsplitter once in awhile

[foggy lion]

I could, but then I'd have to change it every time I wanna play another game lol

[spice dawn]

then why don't see drawing of plancon used agaisnt fully armored knights ??

[pallid cairn]

Lowkey looks like pocketcat

[foggy lion]

Cause a lot of those pictures were in training manuals, and the Plancon didn't need that much training lol

[jolly gorge]

How can u even keep your character if u fall in the abbys?

[spice dawn]

good point , just bonk them in the the helmet

[manic cradle]

willy is british. Confirmed

[spice dawn]

you can't

[solid yarrow]

Beat the abyss and you'll escape to the gauntlet again

[jolly gorge]

and how long is the abyss?

[solid yarrow]

once you escape you'll keep your rank and progress

[analog pelican]

are there mods for half sword that give me super strength?

[solid yarrow]

gets longer the more gauntlet progress you have, at the end you beat the boss of the last tier to beat the abyss

[jolly gorge]

oof

[solid yarrow]

however you don't have to kill all of the previous bosses now, just the last one you fought.

[analog pelican]

[jolly gorge]

fought or won?

[analog pelican]

is this normal?

[solid yarrow]

won to be exact

[jolly gorge]

alr thanks

[hasty elm]

i think they should make you even weaker in uc so its obvious you arent supposed to win

[solid yarrow]

and you have to fight 3-4 willies per tier, then better gear will start spawning

[analog pelican]

what is uc?

[foggy lion]

Lol

[solid yarrow]

Pretty sure it does

or atleast it makes it so you take default damage during it so if you set the slider lower for damage received it doesn't matter

[solid yarrow]

ultimate challange

[hasty elm]

My main issue is you get knocked over at the slightest push

[sleek gull]

LOL I meant to hold down E longer, but ended up stealing his nose.

[solid yarrow]

are you running alot during the ultimate challenge?

[patent hound]

why does my willie feel more sluggish, drunk and get tired more easily in uc but in free/gauntlet mode everything before you choose your faction that gives you atributes when you get to militant?

[solid yarrow]

more armor = slower, faster stamina drain and less balance

[hasty elm]

i run but i make sure to get my stamina back

[patent hound]

regardless

[analog pelican]

how did you get those stylish shoulder pads?

[patent hound]

I feel like I have armor on with the same stanima as the knights when I only have clothing on

[solid yarrow]

maybe you are getting unlucky and are getting shoved while one of your legs are still in the air?

[hasty elm]

i feel like i get knocked over less with armor on

[patent hound]

fr

[mortal pagoda]

stabbed opponent in genitals with spear, fight won - trip over own spearshaft and break both legs, oh.

[patent hound]

the purple mf is just weak ig 🤷‍♂️

[solid yarrow]

I guess all those years of sitting on his arse finally got to him

[patent hound]

seriously

[quasi rain]

i killed the big sword boss man in abyss with a scythe and the game decided to send me flying way out the map in turn

[prisma stag]

Can you break willies neck the same way you could in the abyss demo?

[solid yarrow]

You can break willies necks legs and arms

[patent hound]

just hit them w a blunt weapon or kick them in the head

[patent hound]

I think u can break ribs too

and backs

[prisma stag]

i don't care about that, i want to do it with my hands.

[solid yarrow]

I remember in the abyss I killed scythe guy and his scythe fell onto my shoulder slowly, which proceeded to cut my willie in half

[patent hound]

I wish

I miss the old bone breaking and head explosion ngl

[civic crane]

bro have they still not fixed the game crashing in the last level

[solid yarrow]

You could with your hands but most likely you won't be able to

[civic crane]

I wanna complete the damn game

[patent hound]

I miss the OG halfsword in the cabin & winter outdoors

[worn heron]

You can break his neck even better than before

[prisma stag]

i've only ever broken his neck by hitting him, that's not what i'm talking about.

[worn heron]

Especially in the main menu..

[last totem]

Just kick their heads and snap!

[worn heron]

By grabbing him and reefing on him hard enough?

you can

[quasi rain]

i just love how jankie and broken the abyss is

[worn heron]

my favourite is grabbing them by the back and spamming em into the fence by the noggin

[prisma stag]

can you do it in the main game?

[solid yarrow]

If you get enough speed you should be able to

[worn heron]

ye it's just not very easy there's been a few clips. Hell, you can even twist your ankle now lol

[patent hound]

I wish this worked with your arms too, I usually rmb hold my axes & swords, raise my arms and put it over their neck and throw them to the ground

https://tenor.com/view/judo-throw-sports-athlete-our-neighborhood-arts-and-physical-education-gif-12296820

[prisma stag]

i have never twisted my ankle in half sword, why isn't this happening to me?

[patent hound]

oh ok

[frigid pendant]

How do i reset my progress in the demo? I'd like to start over?

[last totem]

Personally kicks work best for breaking limbs for me

[worn heron]

it hasn't happened to me either- but check #game-footage-🎮🎥 , happened to someone recently :p

[worn heron]

we have a levelling system sorry haha

[prisma stag]

i think this is just a glitch

if not, then leg submissions will actually work.

[golden granite]

your leg is broken I think, or the npc's leg, you can break legs arms and necks now.

[golden granite]

holy

[worn heron]

This was the image I was referring to !

Anywho, I'll be back in a few mins, I gotta drive home. Cheers fellas!

[patent hound]

what level do gifs go through?

[quasi rain]

yesssss willard do the stanky leg

[patent hound]

oh this has happened to me before

[gilded breach]

does it only go up to 3?

[tawdry violet]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[golden granite]

wonder if they will add submissions, or it is already possible with this joint breaking (spraining) system

[quasi rain]

gotta love when willie decides to STAND on a box instead of opening it

[worn heron]

Level 2 is image/embed perms!

[worn heron]

Yee level 3 is the final level for roles, unlocks VC mainly

[mighty kestrel]

hey, do you know how to neck snap?

[worn heron]

Bare handed ?

[mighty kestrel]

yea

i tried grabbing willies head with both hands and pulling but that didn't do anything

[lavish sapphire]

when u try kick it open but instead willie puts his leg up on it then somehow falls backwards

[hasty elm]

h

[worn heron]

Not reliably no, what I like to do is get them on the ground and then pick em up and slam em into the fence headfirst. Sometimes you can get a crazy crunch.

[mighty kestrel]

wow alright, ill give that a go, thanks!

[quasi rain]

i always kick them open bcs my hands are too busying being full with candlestick

[mortal pagoda]

Anyone find that the aim gradually pulls down when trying to thrust with a spear?

[severe hazel]

im currently on ultimate challenge, if i quit the game will i lose my progress?

[hasty elm]

the game will force you to quit anyway with how much it crashes

no

[severe hazel]

oh ok thanks, weirdly enough it only crashed once for me so far

[tawdry violet]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[hasty elm]

my game didnt crash much at all in the main tiers

one during uc

i think literally once for me as well

[quasi rain]

big stick

It does for sure. Turn off Lockon with Z and you can aim up towards the neck more reliably. https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/jrJk4sYN6Tq1kC1zB/spok?invite=cr-MSxYS2YsMjAxMzQ4MTMyLA

Ignore trainer mod that won't affect it

[foggy lion]

Let me introduce you to the plancon

[lavish sapphire]

what happened to the scythe i remember it being way better but now its kinda hard to actually cut with it

i feel like u almost have to just pull it back when its behind someone to actually work

[mortal pagoda]

Ty I'll give it a go

[hasty elm]

picking up weapons is so bad it needs to be fixed

[lavish sapphire]

fr, press e 3 times and miss then on the 4th u actually pick it up but accidentally press e again then drop it only to get stabbed in the back trying to pick it back up

[manic badger]

Especially during the first boss fight

Happened to me so much I started fist fighting the first boss every time instead of picking soemthing up

[cinder stone]

It's pretty simple: run towards weapon, press E just before you reach and then crouch while still running. He'll catch it 100%

[minor iron]

full sprint mma takedowns on the boss is the best way, proper dagestan style beatdowns

[rugged kraken]

has anyone been having the game crash a lot?

[hasty elm]

on uc yeah

[manic badger]

This is the true definition of what I do basically

[manic badger]

Yes

[minor iron]

if we get character creation later on etc, fully making a medieval sean strickland build

[hasty elm]

if you are slightly wounded and your holding yourself you just cant pick something up reliably enough

sure theres workarounds but its still ass

[minor iron]

"damn my arm just got sliced to the last tendon, why can i not swing a 10kg stick around?"

[hasty elm]

it has nothing to do with your arm being broken brother

i never said you arm was wounded did i?

your arm can be completely fine

[lavish sapphire]

is it just me or are femurs stupidly easy to cut through, cutting through necks is like titanium but then a dagger can chop off a leg, the hardest bone in the body like its nothing

[hasty elm]

grotesque gore makes it unrealistically easy to cut people up

bisected a guy with a knife

[lavish sapphire]

apart from necks unless u use an axe or voulge

[severe trench]

taking a butcher knife to a guys thigh on normal gore takes it off pretty easily

albeit on a full strength swing when hes alr grounded

[reef tulip]

are you on the baron

[north hamlet]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[rugged kraken]

Whats that? I haven't played in a while but if its a rank I know I got it at least

[reef tulip]

its the last rank

[rugged kraken]

Yeah i'm playing that one but it was happening on all the ranks even begger

[reef tulip]

the baron is the worse for me

[rugged kraken]

oh baron is the worst for me but its happening a lot

[analog pelican]

IM TIRED OF LOSING ABYSS BECAUSE I LOSE ONE INCH OF MY HAND AND THEN CANT DO ANYTHING ANYMORE

[fringe obsidian]

Why is Willie’s neck and head so weak he can fall from 2 centimeters and instantly explode

[reef tulip]

i could get nudged lightly and get flung

[prisma stag]

My willie knows how to tuck his chin

[sand void]

im on the baron level

if i die will it force me to restart

[gilded breach]

nope

[sand void]

so if i die i stay on baron rank all the time right?

[hidden zephyr]

Willie is shocked at what he is seeing

(who wants to see what he is looking at?)

[stiff nebula]

He's looking at a Willie duhhhhh

[gilded breach]

correct

[sand void]

thank god\

[hidden zephyr]

The Willie ate his sword

[gilded breach]

ultimate challenge aka bullshit mode

cant even imagine how infuriating it was back when it DID reset ur character

[cinder stone]

I lost to the man at arms (gave up) four times and just to punish myself I did last stands and won them each time ❤️ I saved so many videos this run

but I got the mofo

[stiff nebula]

I got to the first challenge at the end where you fight the axe guy with nothing and he chopped me in half

[hidden zephyr]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/k5VdQoPzejS_CSRkp?invite=cr-MSxvaUUsMjQzNzc5MzE3

[reef tulip]

me

[hidden zephyr]

nah, I somehow lost my grip on my blade and it ended up cutting his arm off

[reef tulip]

oh

and i keep crashing on the baron

[fluid bloom]

Fellas

FELLAS. I have beaten the Baron :)

I lost my first run, beat my second to get to him

[reef tulip]

NO

I GOT THE BARON ON THE GROUND AND IT CRASHED

[cinder stone]

I got pretty lucky

[jolly cove]

i got flung by the baron into the houses 😢

[fluid bloom]

Krill issue

[white sierra]

bonk beautiful hit. That’s my favorite weapon, wish it was stronger against armor but I guess the other axe works just fine.

[reef tulip]

bro how

[fluid bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/krill-krilla-stone-cold-lol-meme-gif-8360566669486526273

[minor iron]

You gotta be squiddin me

[fluid bloom]

Sorry I'm now just mad at being bamboozled by packaging

Fookin bought french bread [with garlic spread] and not garlic bread but they packaged it the same as their fuckin garlic bread so I'm mad

https://tenor.com/view/shrimp-incredible-krill-crab-gif-4661271430329690317

[minor iron]

shrimple mistake to make

[craggy hill]

So just to make sure, the very last rank in gauntlet is broken, yeah?

[minor iron]

how was your reaction when you found out ?, talk about if looks could krill...

[craggy hill]

like it crashes, all the time

[fluid bloom]

Disappointment.

[fluid bloom]

Just turn your gore settings to gentle and you're good.

I got one crash when I still had a bit of blood because it's good to see you're doing that but

[minor iron]

i mean you can use blood and gore if you use dx11 tbf, it only crashes for me with blood on dx12

[cerulean cloud]

i love how in the abyss the willies armor disintegrates with them

[fluid bloom]

Was crashin for me [not frequently, mind] with blood n gore on dx 11 as well

[foggy lion]

I will say that the game got a lot more stable for me after putting -dx11 in the steam launch settings

[jade panther]

How do I spawn and recolor stuff?..

[minor iron]

just try to keep as little people in the fight as you can, all the armour being modeled etc towards the end is whats causing it im guessing

[fluid bloom]

I miss the old underoos beggar willy tbh

[minor iron]

i noticed picking them off instantly with headshots helped before i knew about the blood thing lmao

[rapid tartan]

everytime i get to the gold dude my game crashes such a fun game

[north trout]

are you using dx12

[rapid tartan]

nope

[gilded breach]

doesnt crush but i seem to get all the physics bugs in ult challenge specifically

[north trout]

#1359239086447136839

put your logs in there while they try to figure it out

[fluid bloom]

Outside the fatal thing, I've only ever had one crash

and that was within the first 20 minutes of using the demo

[rapid tartan]

bruh mine doesnt even say fatal crash, mine just stops existing

[fluid bloom]

which was like 30 hours ago now

[north trout]

the devs are extremely aware of the problems with crashes, it's an unfinished game in UE5 which means that there are going to be many, many bugs and issues. i say this not to invalidate your problem, but to explain why this is happening

[gilded breach]

ye i am aware but i still hate ult challenge rn

[north trout]

then don't play it, play free mode or find a different game to play while we wait for early access to launch

BG3 just got its final major update, I'd recommend it :3

[minor iron]

i noticed not being tabbed into the game when launching causes fatal out of memory crashes too lmao

[gilded breach]

nah i think im gonna rant here instead

[north trout]

classic gamer

[gilded breach]

thats actually how i got my only fatal crash out of ultimate

[north trout]

thats not a Half Sword issue im pretty sure that's a UE issue. Not even UE5 there's a LOT of UE games that have that issue

[gilded breach]

ye ue is kind of an issue'

[minor iron]

or quitting to menu from the abyss when only using dx12 lmao

[north trout]

which is why you don't use dx12. idk why they kept it in for the most recent hotfix, we know it causes crashes

[minor iron]

nah it looks good enough to outweigh it imo

[gilded breach]

it supposedlt makes abyss run better

[fluid bloom]

How is his arm not broken, chat?

[north trout]

i can't tell the difference and its a 5-10 fps difference on my hardware so i just play dx11

[gilded breach]

but makes my performance significantly worse so i stick with 11

[minor iron]

the lighting for sure is so much better imo

but the baron is ez if you use that spiked war hammer and left hand swing the shit out of his head then kick him to death against the side fence

[supple sparrow]

Hello chat

[gilded breach]

its not the baron thats the prolem its getting to him

[supple sparrow]

Long ass hammer

[gilded breach]

doesnt help

[rich ibex]

hi

[supple sparrow]

Though I haven't even gotten to him

[minor iron]

my technique for diffucult enemies is using that spike thing and being merciless when they fall down.. dont let em up and keep kicking them

[rapid tartan]

the baron is the problem for me, my games fine everytime until he appears on my screen and then hes like a bomb and my game just stops existing

[rich ibex]

the game will constantly crash for me for some reason and idk why

[harsh lake]

Crashes on dx11 too mate.

[gilded breach]

like every time i get something good going either some weird ass bug makes me lose or i get grazed by an axe and die

[mortal pagoda]

Change settings - if you're on epic apparently it's bugged
