[upper wigeon]

then when you wan to stab just tap alt while holding left click to aim

[astral tiger]

oh

[fallen meadow]

average british everyday wound

[upper wigeon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5ueQMZ8CVo here it is in action in peasant

[astral tiger]

i did it wrong all time

[upper wigeon]

there's no one way. This is just how I do it and it works well

[hasty elm]

Yeah I just hold alt and extend into them when close enough

It's easy with lock on

[fallen meadow]

axe guy boss got me in one strike . plus gone for the neck

[upper wigeon]

it can be hard to hold alt and push forward because you cant control exactly where your point is tipping, but it's nicer to do it that way if you need mobility

[gilded breach]

once someone figures out how to fix the color issue we gonna have the royal drip istg

[languid spoke]

guys how do i see my rank

[steel isle]

Right now everyone just has a black gambeson or doublet lol

[astral tiger]

so i need to hold alt then extend spear.After this i need to unhold alt and tap alt holding m1?

[hasty elm]

Does anyone else have Tetris effect with this game

I see and hear half sword Every time I close my eyes

[solid yarrow]

who took my willies weapon?

[gilded breach]

my feed has been infested by HEMA nerds

[hasty elm]

What does that mean

[languid spoke]

thx

[wheat rock]

lemme guess
RobinSwords, SellSwordArts, that british archer poledancer, Jacque Ze Whipper

[fallen zealot]

i dont take insults my guy

[wheat rock]

the last 2 arent HEMA related but im guessing theyre there too

[fallen zealot]

bro fell like a cartoon character

[hasty elm]

Did pressing camera have anything to do with it

[wheat rock]

the camera mode sound is hilarious

[fallen zealot]

no

[sleek mica]

Does the shorter 2 handed spear lack a functioning halfsword grip on hand switch?

[gilded breach]

everyone but jacque lol

[fallen zealot]

he just got flinged

[upper wigeon]

exactly

[astral tiger]

nvw i got this\

[hasty elm]

I know In some games the fps can need with physics calculations but idk if that's the case in this game

Mess

[hasty elm]

Big sword

[sleek mica]

bonk

[fallen meadow]

what kind of stance is this

[jolly gorge]

I get to man at arms for the 4th time, feeling good, it's a Longsword duel, me and him. Exchange a few blows but I parry and he kinda shrugs them off. Suddenly he halfswords, goes pasts my armor, and shoves his sword into my spine

[muted dew]

IT exorcises the spiky club from the enemy

[wheat rock]

the power of~~ Christ ~~Thor compels you

[urban jackal]

finally

[muted dew]

Goated heathen

[urban jackal]

vertical cuts are hard

[jolly gorge]

I bleed out on the floor. This game is perfect for people who hate themselves like me.

[solid yarrow]

what is my willie doing

[sleek mica]

His best

[grim latch]

my willie tried his best to escape but kept failing the outer fence

[solid yarrow]

gulp

[wheat rock]

ungulp

[ember ingot]

how are you fighting him outside the challenge?

i wanna do that too

[solid yarrow]

sekret

[ember ingot]

modded?

[short cloud]

this is NOT fair

[gilded breach]

lmao

[solid yarrow]

nah so you need to select a lower tier when you unlock ultimate challange, play like normal until bar is 11/11 restart game and play and it should pop up the boss fight

[steel pawn]

I can't play the baron level without it crashing all the time from the bodies disitegrating weird :/

[ember ingot]

the bodies doing that is normal

[steel pawn]

no ik they disintegrate

[gilded breach]

the crashes are normal atm too lmao

[ember ingot]

but the crashes might be due to blood amount which you should reduce to minimum

it stopped all the crashing for me

[honest thorn]

laughs in UE5

[steel pawn]

it also is, it's bodies doing the weird like stretch you get in some graphical errors

I imagine it'll be fixed

[ember ingot]

yeah it's weird

[honest thorn]

A combination of that and the particle physics will do it. It'll get fixed in later patches to the game I bet

[ember ingot]

this game will need a lot of optimization if we're going to be fighting larger battles in the future

[astral tiger]

yeah armor makes my fps 20

[ember ingot]

that's sadly probably the cost of having such accurate physics simulation

[urban jackal]

yo wtf

[short cloud]

this was humbling

[minor wigeon]

My favorite tier is commoner, I hate playing as tiers with higher armor

[minor wigeon]

My second favorite is farmer

[sleek mica]

2 handed axe is really sharp

Perhaps improperly sharp

[sweet hamlet]

the number of times I've been grazed by it and then instantly had my limb cut off is insane

[minor wigeon]

it do be hella sharp

[mellow matrix]

how do i reset my gauntlet mode progress

[minor wigeon]

die

[mellow matrix]

i cant

[short cloud]

why

[mellow matrix]

it wont work 💔

it just takes me back to menu

[short cloud]

have beaten it?

[hasty elm]

Are you on uc

[mellow matrix]

yes

[urban jackal]

this axe is so bad man

[hasty elm]

It resets when you best ultimate challenge

[mellow matrix]

oh ok

[sleek mica]

It's a shame armory is focused on the 15th century the falx would be fun with these physics

[mellow matrix]

so like hypothetically if my game crashes before i win uc how do i reset

[candid canopy]

a

[muted dew]

STANDING HERE, I REALIZE YOU WERE JUST LIKE ME TRYING TO MAKE HISTORY

[true rain]

i have returned

[true rain]

if i were to do that, i would crouch and then get right hooked around the head and then die

[lofty lily]

I give them a good punch first

Or make sure to keep balance

[upper wigeon]

Just learned how to jump consistently in the game

[lofty lily]

It takes time to get used to but it can become consistant

[upper wigeon]

Yeah I only today got the movement down to be consistant. Otherwise I was just hitting the odd clip

[sweet hamlet]

How do you kick properly?

[prisma fractal]

spacebar is the control, look in the direction you wanna kick

down to stomp

[sweet hamlet]

thank you, the first answer to my question that was helpful ever

[prisma fractal]

igu

any1 know if there's any way to remove the death screen or make it transparent lol? i wanna actually see my character's death on some cinematic timing

[gilded breach]

theres a hud meter in the options maybe its that? havent tried myself

[jolly gorge]

add some alcohol

[last citrus]

is there a way to not loose rank after dying? (besides abyss)

[twilit cradle]

Axe achieves same thing

[drowsy flint]

his internal organs have become external organs

[ember ingot]

alt F4 before entering the abyss

[sweet hamlet]

I don't understand why NPCs can just drag back the axe and completely chop off my limbs

the crook of the axe isn't sharp

[twilit cradle]

Why can willies feet break necks in one stomp

[viral narwhal]

how do you have armor and he doesn't

[ember ingot]

blades in halfsword have monomolecular edges

[sweet hamlet]

it's insane too, the Scythe is cutting me from the FRONT, their blades are on the inner edge not the outer

[urban jackal]

pick a higher class and quit the game, start game again and press free mode, then start demo

[idle depot]

why do i keep getting "fatal error" everytime im like playing the game

and it automatically pops up

[ember ingot]

you can knock away the scythe after he slashes then push in

farmer boss is pretty easy

[sweet hamlet]

there's a lot of inconsistencies that aren't really enjoyable

I feel like I should be blocking a lot more except there's no way to stop momentum when momentum doesn't seem to apply to NPC hits

[ember ingot]

what do you mean? if you block it should correctly stop the attack

it's hard but there's lots of people who can do it

[sweet hamlet]

It's about half-effective for me to use a buckler, and maybe a quarter or less with the knife

[ember ingot]

i can't for the most part lol

[sweet hamlet]

I wanna see someone actually parry a propeer sword with the knife-sword combo

[ember ingot]

are you extending the buckler in front of you?

[sweet hamlet]

yeah

[ember ingot]

knife sword is extremely hard to use and i have not seen it done

[sweet hamlet]

exactly

[ember ingot]

i think that's mostly because you would need to control both arms independently which is not very feasible currently

[sweet hamlet]

pretty much

I really want to enjoy this game but there's a lot of physics fuckups which, while obviously not intended, make the game a hella rough experience

Your weapon clipping into being twisted around your back, for example

[steep wedge]

Anyone else's game crashing in Ultimate Challenge all the time? Getting an UE5 error

[echo yacht]

physics engines are super complicated, the fact theyve got it this good is crazy impressive so its only gonna improve

[ember ingot]

this demo is very impressive yeah

[sweet hamlet]

I really hope so, it's kinda discouraging to try criticize the game and just being told to uninstall the game (according to some older chats I've seen on here)

[ember ingot]

keep in mind you're playing a free demo and not a full paid game

[echo yacht]

i do think they should introduce hotkeyed stances so using a shield or parrying dagger doesnt take an ai super computer in your head, eventually

[vale totem]

Why can Menu Willie tank every hit I click on him but a simple neck snap kills him?

[ember ingot]

he'll die eventually if you hit him enough

[sweet hamlet]

The fact that it's a demo and playtest should also mean space to give feedback at least

[vale totem]

Add horses to the game but not jousting

[sweet hamlet]

Add horse armor but not the horses

[ember ingot]

i think the devs are aware that the physics arent perfect yet no offense

[vale totem]

It should be like gta 4!!!

[echo yacht]

less useless content trash, more polish

[vale totem]

https://tenor.com/view/gta4-gta-four-iv-niko-bellic-gif-20608489

[echo yacht]

every game nowadays introduces endless streams of "new stuff" with a terribly flawed infrastructure, its dumb

[ember ingot]

yeah this game seems to emphasize core gameplay before polish which is very refreshing

[slender hull]

this so annoying

you should stop screaming at some point

[vale totem]

From what I've learned screaming intimidates your opponents

[ember ingot]

always remember to spam G

[slender hull]

i'd argue swinging your axe would be more intimidating

[slender hull]

this is abyss

[echo yacht]

i cut a dudes leg off earlier and he was standing up trying to walk around with 1 leg and the leg was still on the ground crawling around

[viral narwhal]

it doesnt work

[ember ingot]

you'll still yell insults no?

[echo yacht]

like a mfin roach

[slender hull]

lizaed willies

[vale totem]

Tis but a scratch

[slender hull]

ah, well yeah that technically stops the screaming, not the clutching yourself part tho

[ember ingot]

the terminator rises

[echo yacht]

legit took him like 5 minutes to die too, i was starting to root for him hoping he could stand up too

[urban jackal]

you need to switch to the class you want first, turn game off then go back on, switch to free mode, do not switch classes, then play

[vale totem]

Has anyone actually killed someone with the small pointy tip on the waraxe?

[ember ingot]

if you reduce player damage to minimum in abyss you'll get some crazy shit happening like surviving being cut in half

[echo yacht]

which one

the one that looks like a mallet with a single spike?

[drowsy flint]

lol i think i beat that, get a load of this guy

[echo yacht]

ive had this happen to me, cut in half and the game didnt even recognize i was hurt lol

[ember ingot]

give this man the best medieval medicine that gold will buy

[viral narwhal]

it worked

[urban jackal]

[viral narwhal]

shame you dont keep weapon only armor

[urban jackal]

i keep the weapon and armour

[burnt karma]

how can i do 1v4?

[urban jackal]

just get carnage mode

[urban jackal]

top 2 classes, brave stand

[ember ingot]

if you use the more armoured levels you get it as an option on the right

something stand

probably one of the easiest ways to climb up levels during gauntlet

[drowsy flint]

yeah just dont turn your back unless its armoured

[ember ingot]

ye and keep your distance because they will manage to push you down

the AI is super aggressive during brave stand

[echo yacht]

also 1v4 towards the end of the ultimate challenge, but theyre hyper aggressive so its less combat and more running in circles with a billhook hoping you get lucky

[true zealot]

he swung on me so i had to drop him on his head

[echo yacht]

one day i hope theres like a peasant army mode

just 1 knight vs 100 pissed off peasants

[ember ingot]

baron vs rebellion

[echo yacht]

be looking like the opening scene for the fellowship of the ring

[ember ingot]

if the game manages to scale up i can see the spoilance game mode being more like a hunger games type challenge

[echo yacht]

so much potential, probably not enough resources

battle royale with this engine would go hard af too

[ember ingot]

we'll see if they manage to optimize the engine

[ember ingot]

absolutely

i'd like a gun run type game mode where you have to kill somebody to get a better weapon

[true zealot]

essentially ultimate challenge

[echo yacht]

i always thought fortnite should do something like merge gun game and BR. how many kills you got determines your weapon. the whole looter shooter has been overplayed, no innovation anywhere in the industry atm

[jolly gorge]

I started flying like I was in harry potter

[echo yacht]

these things can cause the most god awful speaker exploding noise if you get stuck in em

its like 10x louder than the game volume when it happens

[ember ingot]

im surprised the industry is only now moving on from the battle royale fad

[jolly gorge]

At least it was funny as hell

[calm ivy]

loll this is the BEST DISARM I'VE EVER DONE 😂

i would too staring up at something like that

[echo yacht]

Theyre mostly obsessed with that team battle garbage still. counterstrike clones

like what ever happened to a functional and classic TDM where you dont spend 70% of the match doing nothing

[fiery walrus]

Hey im new do you think anybody can tell if i can or how i can play the playtest i had it and now its just kinda gone.

[daring gale]

i made a halfsword garrysmod maphttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3464545883

[lofty jetty]

The worst mode is the team mode

[plush sundial]

Why?

[lofty jetty]

Its unbalanced ill be in milita and fighting the second to last people with almost full armor

[lucid perch]

got this sweet ass drip in the abyss, is my boy willie the junior dripping?

[verbal lintel]

Finally i beat the baron, billhook>

[ember ingot]

yeah it's always the same enemies regardless of your level lol. the good thing is if you play as the highest level then small buhurst is easy

[lofty jetty]

yeah

[ember ingot]

though it's bugged for baron. your allies will start fighting eachother and you for some reason

[deep shale]

when i play small buhurt, I just try to focus on staying unharmed while waiting for somebody to drop a better weapon

i can't wipe out the six foot five platemail juggernaut without a blunt weapon

[lofty jetty]

Lol real

[deep shale]

its too risky to even gamble with trying to thrust a knife into the tiny openings

cause they can sneeze on you and you die

if those are the small buhurts, i dont wanna see the large ones

[wind charm]

Would you like to see me brushing Willie's teeth?

[brisk temple]

Y'all ever try killing an enemy by throwing your weapon?

[tough yew]

brush it with a pollax

yea, its pretty fun but tricky to do

[deep shale]

when i tried this, they CAUGHT it

Oh god that must be horrifying

Most I've been able to achieve was just a few slashes on the enemy

[ionic light]

I kinda miss the old Demo boss with the fancy sword and two guards his sword unironically carried me to knight tier

[tired stream]

the only weakness of the long range weapons

[lucid perch]

guys wtf do i do, hes OUTSIDE The map

[tired stream]

walk around the fence

[lucid perch]

ok phew he gave up

god its so fucking annoying when your in the soldier class in the abyss

and your leg gets cut off

[shell light]

How are yall so accurate with the stabs

I try and its like my character purposefully misses

[lucid perch]

idk

[wind charm]

My grandma would believe this is real

Literally goated photo

ye old iron helmet being peireced by a hafted spear

[tough yew]

thanks, i wouldn't consider it my finest of work but still out there

[rustic dove]

'Tis just I, or does it feel as if the hoe just can't seem to swing properly? Like I love the billhook and polarms and stuff, but the hoe just feels like shit to use imo

[wind charm]

Follow through your swing, carry it's momentum smoothly.

[tough yew]

this one is one of my favorites

[cinder stone]

I kinda like that it's still relatively easy to kill willies with the npc damage slider all the way down compared to before where they were insane damage sponges

(also yes I did kick that dude's head off)

[rustic dove]

I don't know what you mean by that man, it just doesn't feel like my Willie is swinging the head around, more just trying to slide his shaft over the enemy's face. Compared to the billhook, it just doesn't feel like hes swinging the head, you get what I mean?

[lucid perch]

all it takes is one stab..

[wind charm]

Easy without armour.

does playing the game on grotesque make it easier?

it makes it more...Responsive?

I use what my club has until I got enough gear for steel

No, just more body partsy

[echo yacht]

like visually. you can clearly see what damage youve done

[trim apex]

i see

thanks

[echo yacht]

like playing on the middle setting, you can stab people 3-4 times and not see blood through the shirt

very deceptive

[mortal pagoda]

We used nylons for testing hema 'on the field' for reenactment with soft kit - keep both pairs of balls covered and you're grand

Hands too .!!!!

[muted dew]

You only need some garden gloves and a fencing mask for Foam. If you got proper fencing gloves you already have a lot of gear anyway

And*

[hasty elm]

[muted dew]

A dude in my club got a metal plate syrgically implanted into his forearms because he didnt have hard forearm protection when using longsword

[lucid perch]

nobody tell but i got my armed cut off while playing at minimum damage for me as a duke

proof of my dumbass

[wind charm]

I assure you there is no way to prevent catastrophe completely, sometimes the Frank deems this duel your last.

[deep shale]

fate

[mortal pagoda]

Ooooooff Holy fuck that's grim

My personal worst is between either the damaged tendon in my shin/ankle or the twisted testicle

[lucid perch]

i gotta get my lick back

[mortal pagoda]

Still fought through both though because fuck off I wanna win

im sorry pierrot

its you lowly soldier

[mortal pagoda]

If you can't be an example.. lol

One of my guys refused to listen to instruction in training and insisted he knew better so kept putting his thumb om the back of the shield for more rotation control (viking round shields). Axe hit the shield, his tendon snapped and snaked up his arm.

[cobalt ocean]

YOU DIRTY PEASENT

WHO RUSHED TO RISK HIS LIFE LIKE A FOOL AS IF ITS A GAME AND NOT A DEADLY DUEL

[lucid perch]

"you forgot your lunch son"

[cobalt ocean]

YOU DIRTY COMMONER

[muted dew]

First of all, how did his hand get hit past such a large shield?
second, Why no gauntlet?

[lucid perch]

1. kinetic energy
2. gauntlets are for duels ig idk

my own question is

why did they give tiny hands a viking round shield

[muted dew]

Gauntlets are for any type of sparring

[mortal pagoda]

His hand wasn't hit, the thumb was pushed back by the shield

Gauntlets don't exist in the 9th century 😉

Hands are still at risk of strikes even when holding a shield though - boot the bottom and the top will flip open - downward strike into the opening will break bones in the hand

[trim apex]

whats the best faction in your oppinions

[wind charm]

I have only one life, but I have no respect for shield users

i need some tips for the commoner tier boss

i just cant with this guy

[rustic sphinx]

maaan, i wish i could change keybinds

[brazen gale]

tier 3 commoner boss

the guy in black gambeson with the big ass sword

[rustic sphinx]

something about the thrust mode being alt has the keyboard language options in windows show up and mess with things

[rustic sphinx]

check the guy's youtube, maybe? (yes a half sword guy on youtube is the inspiration for that boss)

[brazen gale]

well whats the guys name?

[cobalt fern]

you know for a game where its really easy to get knocked down, its unfairly hard to get back up

[gilded breach]

i changed it to ctrl shift just for this game lmao

[rustic sphinx]

wait wha

[deep shale]

when i get knocked down, i try to grab my enemy

[rustic sphinx]

i may've forgot - lemme check

[deep shale]

sometimes, i can move my weapon to try and parry

[rustic sphinx]

can you change keybinds?? how?

[gilded breach]

changed the language keys not the thrust key

[acoustic oracle]

ik ppl who have set their side mouse buttons to alt for easier thrusting

[rustic sphinx]

oh. how do that though?

[rustic sphinx]

https://www.youtube.com/@OVRDTH/featured

[gilded breach]

mess around in keyboard settings its in there

[rustic sphinx]

i managed to remove any other languages for my keyboard, so now there's no option to try to change i think

[gilded breach]

time & language > typing > advanced keyboard settings > input language hotkeys

im still not used to it tho constantly alt shifting and being like "why didnt my language change?"

[pallid cairn]

goodbye frontal lobe

[serene tulip]

It's okay, I don't think Willie requires a frontal lobe

[deep shale]

its a wifi router so willie can download your keyboard inputs

[pallid cairn]

goodbye dr strange

[cerulean cloud]

i just threw my wood cutting ax and caved a willies head in after cutting open the top of his head

[cobalt ocean]

could someone remind me of all tier names?

[brazen gale]

update i got into miltia tier

[brazen gale]

ty

[cerulean cloud]

i love it when you attack a willie then they just fly up 2 feet and fall on the floor

[soft osprey]

Sure there’s tier 1, tier 2, tier 3, and so on

[cerulean cloud]

you must die

[cobalt ocean]

thanks 🙂

[soft osprey]

There’s a list somewhere

[cerulean cloud]

its uhh beggar, peasant, commoner, militia, i think the next one is soldier

[soft osprey]

I’ll try to find it

[serene tulip]

Damn that might've been one of my sexier poleaxe kills. Don't need a spike to thrust, just the head.

I believe tiers are Beggar, Peasant, Commoner, Militia, Soldier, Veteran, Man-At-Arms, and Knight.

[sturdy jolt]

This game plus gyro controls goes hard

[narrow fulcrum]

this is probably a silly question but is there anyway to download the void demo

[sturdy jolt]

Feels more intuitive

[serene tulip]

Go to main menu, click and drag on Willie's head really fast

[cerulean cloud]

thats not good

[narrow fulcrum]

ok thank you i love the rouge litey feel of void

[knotty wind]

i feel like this game only crashes on good runs during ultimate challenge

it feels sentient as if it knows which run is good and which run is bad

[serene tulip]

I would probably give up too after that point

[rustic sphinx]

pretty sure you can spam his face too, or press the abyss button at the bottom? unless i'm mistaken

[serene tulip]

neck snap is fastest

[rustic sphinx]

oh i never considered the quick CRACK

[burnt karma]

how can i 1v4 again?!

[pallid cairn]

my willie evil ash in this pic

[lofty lily]

The way he kicked his legs

[burnt karma]

how can i 1v4 again

[pallid cairn]

brave stand in the last 3 or 4 tiers

[mint gust]

that head slam was clean too

[light monolith]

can we PLEASE lock the cursor, i'm trying to watch netflix with miniplayer and I keep clicking it in the top right

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cutie-sad-sorry-puss-in-boots-gif-14112849

[lofty lily]

Press Alt and Enter at the same time

You will witness miracles

[brazen gale]

militia boss was easy compared to commoner boss

also the first time ive seen a bevor in this game

[spice compass]

Whichever developer thought it would be funny to make it possible to snap your own neck in the gauntlent mode i hope your computer BSODs while youre doing important shit

[pallid cairn]

whyd you do that to willie

[spice compass]

Gauntlent mode menu*

[pastel phoenix]

please tell me im not the only one getting this error whenever a willie dies in some funky way with armor on: Fatal error!

Crash in runnable thread Runtime Vertex Paint and Detection Plugin Thread #1

[pallid cairn]

you are able to play with your willie not snap his neck

[spice compass]

I was fiddling with my character in the menu and i just fucking died when i dragged my head

[pastel phoenix]

i get like a minute more of playtime after which it justcloses on itself, i have lost ultimate challange runs like that countless times

[jagged stream]

is it just me or is grete champion insanely hard

[pallid cairn]

anyway welcome to silent hill good luck in the void

[jagged stream]

his axe knocks me down even when i block with a shield and i cant pick up stuff without getting hit

[hard tendon]

Hi

[spice compass]

[serene tulip]

[jagged stream]

damnn nice move

shift and then how did u stab

[serene tulip]

ALT

[woeful crescent]

is there a way to reset your rank once you get to the last one? I want to change my faction

[jagged stream]

OHH

[shell helm]

bruh my collection of photos that i was gonna send at #photography📷 got automodded

[light monolith]

you were fiddling with your willie and you died when you dragged its head?

[jagged stream]

wait that made no sense

yea so thank you very much

[spice compass]

It made a snap sound and it started glowing

[light monolith]

@mighty nexus

[spice compass]

LOL

[hard tendon]

Hi

[true zealot]

williw can do this in canon btw

[serene tulip]

Anyone else listen to Beethoven while beating their Willie?

[jagged stream]

virus is good

[pallid cairn]

he just got his powers

[shell helm]

I will send one of the photos that got automodded at photography here because my screenshots are too "graphic"

[serene tulip]

Willie really thought grappling me would save him

[light monolith]

Nasty hit

[pallid cairn]

practicing acupuncture with my willie but he looks like moonless

[shell helm]

anyways how rare is it on a last stand all of my opponents used a polearm?

[serene tulip]

Uh... guess I win?

[shell helm]

blud slipped

[spice compass]

I would cry

[pallid cairn]

he failed the kick backflip

imagine if u lost that

[shell helm]

oh they all got clubbed btw

[pallid cairn]

i understand now

[spice compass]

DAMN

[jagged stream]

how do i stach my weapons

stache

[cobalt ocean]

there should be a feature where if you kick your opponent in the nuts they make an ear retching sound

[shell helm]

insta KO

[gilded breach]

hold e or q depending on which hand is holding the weapon u wanna stash

[pallid cairn]

im afraid willie has no nuts

[true zealot]

hold E or Q depending on which hand the weapon is in

[lofty lily]

It's not a fight without a roundhosue kick to the face and getting your head curbstomped into the fence

[jagged stream]

thank you very much sir

[serene tulip]

It is always nice when Willies save me the trouble of flipping them myself

[pallid cairn]

tf they do to u willie is sleeping let him be

[serene tulip]

Not on m watch

[pallid cairn]

ur waking him up like in the army

[lofty lily]

But when you get the flip it's legendary

[serene tulip]

I might have to try that technique. I usually go about it this way

[shell helm]

blud you've really let him down 💀💀

[pallid cairn]

does it also work with armored willies

[lofty lily]

Yes but it's harder

[true zealot]

just slam them

[serene tulip]

yeah they'll be much heavier

[lofty lily]

I think I remember doing it

[jagged stream]

guys how can i efficiently use a dagger with my one handed sword

[lofty lily]

Here's one of my oldest clips

[light monolith]

is this reshade?

[serene tulip]

How do you get enough lifting power to swing them up that high?

[true zealot]

[true zealot]

[pallid cairn]

[serene tulip]

in an alternate reality where this was a pvp game, this would be a regular counter developed by the community to stomp kicking players lol

[lofty lily]

He dc'd me

[pallid cairn]

u mean tomorrow?

[lofty lily]

He caught my legs in midair and just threw me straight on my head

TThe last frame LMAO

[deep shale]

should I stream this new gauntlet run in voice?

[light monolith]

why he so sad

[light monolith]

WWE smackdown

[serene tulip]

Can't believe I hadn't thought to do this sooner, gonna have to refine it

[thorny acorn]

how does one send images

[cobalt ocean]

shoebody doo

[tawdry scroll]

since when half sword can be played with controller

[dawn plinth]

[light monolith]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/k6O1uzP1CUXDL8dGD?invite=cr-MSxMQm8sMjY1MzE2ODc2

[light monolith]

which of these do I pick T-T

[gilded breach]

pick for what?

[light monolith]

reshade

[karmic pasture]

could someone share me their save file, for some reason my halfsword doesnt have a save file in the appdata

[true zealot]

i think the one on top

[karmic pasture]

the whole HalfswordUE5 folder isnt even there when i download and launch the game

[gilded breach]

ohhhh that might explain some stuff

would u mind if baron is already unlocked?

[true zealot]

are you in the right location?

[static pulsar]

Possibly.....

[gilded breach]

im assuming ur still stuck with fisfighters?

[karmic pasture]

definitely am, its the same appdata/local where all my other games saves are

[fiery walrus]

Does anyone know how i can download the playtest its not on the steam page

[true zealot]

download demo

[karmic pasture]

idm, i might just get myself murked so i can do it fresh

[true zealot]

they merged

[fiery walrus]

oh

i played it when it was seperate

[karmic pasture]

basically stuck with beggar no matter what i do

[fiery walrus]

thanks

[tawdry scroll]

skill issue

[karmic pasture]

i almost made it to the second boss with just my fists

[gloomy rock]

why I can`t paste images

[karmic pasture]

then my hands got chopped off..... and i was powerless

[light monolith]

average reshade endevour

[tawdry scroll]

oh u tryin to beat the game with hobo?

[true zealot]

need to be level 3 to upload images in this chat
you can send pictures in #photography📷 and clips into #game-footage-🎮🎥

[true zealot]

what happened

[karmic pasture]

no my game has a problem, it doesnt make a save folder so im stuck on beggar even tho i ranked up

i need to hijack someones save file

[tawdry scroll]

reinstall then i dunno

[karmic pasture]

done that

[light monolith]

slick hook

[tawdry scroll]

why is there still itch io first version menu video in the files

[true zealot]

this guy just disappeared, i wasnt done with him yet

[twilit cradle]

Yes the corpses unfortunately disappear

I had a man chopped into around 15 giblets earlier

Then he disappeared. It's a real shame.

[light monolith]

um

[coarse summit]

still having fatal errors

how do I fix this

[deep shale]

last time i had a fatal error, i was able to tab back into the game and continue playing it

[ember ingot]

what's the problem

[deep shale]

though the popup is still there

[coarse summit]

I did and I got a second fatal error which crashed it, I've also tried uninstalling then reinstalling and it does the same thing

[ember ingot]

reduce blood amount and see if that helps

are you doing the baron run?

[coarse summit]

happens even on gentle

yes

[ember ingot]

yeah baron is notorious for crashes

[true zealot]

What's your npc damage on

[coarse summit]

default

[light monolith]

him.

[true zealot]

If it's maxed thst can cause crashes sometimes too

[ember ingot]

if it's not on minimum i'd set it to minimum

it stopped all crashes for me

you can mess with the sliders in options

[coarse summit]

gentle is minimum blood, there's not even dismemberment

[ember ingot]

oof. careful with those scythe slashes

oh wait you killed him

nvm good job lol

[light monolith]

xD

well shit

[lofty lily]

Magic happens when you lock your hands

[cosmic hamlet]

how do i get all the characters in game?

[ember ingot]

i have no idea if this is the issue but is your ram running out?

[ember ingot]

freeplay is unlocked after defeated the first boss i think

[tawdry scroll]

i got sum veird bug or idk but since playtest i cant grapple with both hands if the enemy moves even slightly

[coarse summit]

no

[light monolith]

I thought i was cool T-T

[cosmic hamlet]

oh thanks!

[light monolith]

You out of prison yet unc?

[ember ingot]

the final tier is only unlocked in freeplay after winning gauntlet also

the baron tier, golden armour you'll see people wearing in some pics

[wind charm]

New main video soon.

[mighty furnace]

I think freeplay you get at game start

[ember ingot]

i dont remember seeing freeplay when i first started but it might just be me being blind

[ember ingot]

if you have the latest version of the demo and all those settings are set to minimum then i can't think of anything other than pc spec issues personally

[light monolith]

I have never done anything then get shit on in first person other than this

[muted dew]

Nasas thingymajig on helmet

[quick lintel]

Will the game be free?

[ember ingot]

no

[quick lintel]

How much will it cost?

[ember ingot]

they have not specified

[coarse summit]

I don't believe it's my specs, I've got a 3050 with 8 gigs of vram, 16 gigs of ram and a 13th gen i5-13400f. I run ark ascended with a solid 60 fps, so I'm unsure what's causing the issue

[solid cipher]

Would anyone have any idea how to get halfsword new demo running on a shitty laptop?

If it's possible that'd be great because I had a good enough device to play it before but it broke

And I haven't got to try out the new demo

[ember ingot]

i'd make sure the drivers are up to date and if that doesn't work then file a bug report

usually reducing blood seems to help for people

but crashes will still occasionally occur

[lofty lily]

[ember ingot]

#modders-guild-hall is probably the best place to ask if it requires modifying the game to run better

[severe hazel]

anyone else hardstuck on ultimate challenge rn?

[ember ingot]

is it crashing?

[severe hazel]

no just struggling against long range enemies with spears and stuff

[west cloud]

Half-Sword

[lean thicket]

I HATE THIS GAMEEEE

[west cloud]

skill issue

[lean thicket]

i was on last boss an it fuckin crashedd

[tired stream]

i love bullying the baron

[ember ingot]

practise with polearms in free mode using the least armour possible, then do the baron ring while keeping your distance. avoid taking risks especially early because wounds will really hinder you later

[ember ingot]

the unfunny WW2 jokes have made it to the medieval game hooray

[severe hazel]

yeah i just have skill issue with closing in on ranged enemies when i dont have a ranged weapon myself

[ember ingot]

RNG is a big factor in the baron ring. personally i kept rerolling until i got a polearm early on

that's the real only good part about the baron. you can give up and try again

[muted dew]

Put this in feedback NOW

[shut crescent]

most ive gone with just fists as beggar is militia

[muted dew]

Hey atleast france lasted 6 weeks.
Denmark lasted 6 hours

[shut crescent]

i mean its pretty funny

the french surrender really fast although the italians wasnt much better they team swapped as soon as they was loosing

[jolly gorge]

I will always Larp and pick the HRE even if it had a shit bonus

[near linden]

so ive been using the short spear

and using it close range, im mainly doing blunt damage. But its so satisfying

so i was thinking, we should get a short spear without the spear. A staff

its SO good at breaking bones

better than the maces

[jolly gorge]

cant lie the spears once you manage to actually get the range properly is op

[near linden]

they are for sure

im purposefully getting close tho, just for the blunt hits

[cobalt ocean]

so if you turn the damage all the way down, you can make the opponent look like zombies

[jolly gorge]

i have the npc dmg and my dmg at roughly 50% makes it more interesting

[serene tulip]

Lower NPC damage definitely makes fist fights fun

[ember ingot]

still not related to a medieval setting but unfunny memes have to be spouted eventually in every setting

dude you're australian? emu war am i right?

[shut crescent]

lol and they lost

how do u fight a flightless bird and not win

[muted dew]

The unfunny makes it funny

[muted dew]

Im just gonna point out that "The final boss of planet earth" lost a war against inanimate objects

[vast ice]

hey dudes, anyone know any engine hacks for performance? i got everything already turned way down but the framerate suffers in anything except 1v1. thanks ❤️

is there any way to select your gear or a mod for it? sucks having to randomize for like 10mins to get what I want

Ovrdeth selector allows you to save and load loadouts

wish i could play last tier vs unarmed

theres a very specifgic billhook I like

also thank you

[muted dew]

I think theres 2

hold on ill draw it

[muted dew]

The short peasant one and the long one?

[young acorn]

how do people do those flying dropkicks

[urban socket]

shit I can post pictures, but theres one that has like a spike and one that doesnt

[young acorn]

not spin kicks but when they forcefully ragdoll themselves and then evaporate their opponent with a kick

[opaque creek]

you ragdoll when they grab while yhoure midair

super rare to land with any force

[young acorn]

i've seen people do it like on command tho

[opaque creek]

on command? or cropped clips

No one can do it consistently

[young acorn]

theres this one short on youtube of a guy ragdolling himself seemingly on command and 1 tapping his opponent in the head w a kick

[wheat cedar]

dawg I hope they do sum against spear npcs

[opaque creek]

on command is doing it multiple times in a row

[young acorn]

in the video he did.

[opaque creek]

what video

[ember ingot]

what's their NPC damage set to?

[mortal pagoda]

Spear NPCs are a piece of piss though

[young acorn]

i cant find it no more but its like "peasants secret technique" it had like 150k views

[opaque creek]

Is it before the update, and the beggars have shirts on?

[young acorn]

yeah

[wheat cedar]

exactly what I mean

[opaque creek]

Ok AI used to be able to grab 100% of the time on every kick

[wheat cedar]

the only way I can beat them is trough using spear too

[opaque creek]

AI doesn't do it anymore, so dropkicks are super rare now

[wheat cedar]

which locks me into always using the pitchfork in peasant

[mortal pagoda]

Wat.

Parry the point, get behind the socket and charge. Done.

[muted dew]

Since when are there different billhook heads?

[hoary canopy]

polearms are overpowered fr

[urban socket]

idk but there are, randomize it enough and the good one shows up

[opaque creek]

Some pictures of weapons are modified from game files

[wheat cedar]

ill try

[opaque creek]

like the really short spears they posted pictures of

[hoary canopy]

ohh so thats what that weapon is called
its the worst weapon in the game easily its totally booty cheeks

maybe its more effective in real life

[serene tulip]

I think I gave Willie a seizure, made him spin like a top

[mortal pagoda]

Shit kill but I'm 8 pints in and cba 😄

[mortal pagoda]

Knock the point to their shield side then charge. they can't recall the spear fast enough to strike back.

[jolly gorge]

I have once again reached baron now i will unlock him not only in free mode but also gauntlet

[wheat cedar]

ight so with parry u mean with a shield

[mortal pagoda]

Works with anything - if using a polearm you'd be better carrying their point upwards, charging then switch to half staff and thrust into the neck

Keeps their weapon out of harms way for you while you control their movement

[tired stream]

payback

[serene tulip]

You can parry with any weapon, 1H, 2H, pole or blade.
It is simply about knowing how to apply it. I personally really enjoy fighting polearms with my own.

[frank pier]

the candle holder might just be the best blunt weapon in the game

[past flame]

Im finally at the last stage

how do I prepare myself for the ultimate battle

[mortal pagoda]

Again sloppy as fuck but you get the idea

[past flame]

pray?

[muted dew]

https://tenor.com/view/bonk-gif-21852548

[urban socket]

dave in art theres a picture of the drawn one on the right side

i just died in the abyss gimme a few to get back to the polearm on the gauntlet

The other one is a bit heavier too

[regal iron]

Rate this pic

[broken zodiac]

Guys

This is crucial

Sht I can't send images

Okay, at the man at arms rank, should I go with a big axe or sword and big shield?

[regal iron]

Plancon, militia.

[deep shale]

id pick axe for armor pen
or plancon

even quality plate armor doesnt completely defelct a high speed axe

[dusky wave]

hello friends of the sword

[regal iron]

Plancon is goated

[urban socket]

Polearms, specifically the billhook woth the spike

[deep shale]

plancon is ez mode which is why i never use it

[urban socket]

Axtually not sure you can get that at man at arms

[regal iron]

You can use other lower classes

[broken zodiac]

But with the militia class I have literally no armor, I fear I will die

[regal iron]

The plancon.

[urban socket]

I feel like the armor is probably more useful, you cam get the billhook I'm talking about at soldier too

[regal iron]

Me using milita at the knight tier, fighting the bpss

What I meant by "lower classes" are lower tiers

[wind charm]

Why did you stop 🥀

[regal iron]

I was trying to make it quick, I also threw him around after

[cerulean cypress]

OMG ITA GOJO RAMSAY

Lol

is there any difference to the shoes besides the color

idiot upload that clip again

I don't think so tbh

https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/18
does this mod still currently work or this one
https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/26

[gilded breach]

heres what u do in gauntlet: never press "randomize loadout" and deal with what ur given

makes it more interesting

[regal iron]

Feel bad for the guy

[gilded breach]

qol doesnt work
enhancer kind of works but an update shud come rly soon

[pure bone]

k

[minor veldt]

Cool factor

[pure bone]

thank you person of actual value

[twin prairie]

i swear i am only good with the greataxe since i get it early and am usually using it for the first 3 bosses

[gilded breach]

greataxe is good

[minor veldt]

You guys should considering using a real sword

[last citrus]

is there a price estimate for the game?

[true thorn]

😳

[twin prairie]

too flimsy

[regal iron]

Willie willie'd his willie

[twin prairie]

greataxe has the weight u need

[last citrus]

spear better

[twin prairie]

a weapon with more weight towards the tip is just better

[minor veldt]

You guys aren't understanding...

[twin prairie]

works double as a bludgeon

[regal iron]

The knife has the brutallity

[last citrus]

how tf u do that with a knife

[deep shale]

im starting to pick the knife over the pitchfork now that i know how to actually use it

[twin prairie]

shortswords are great against pikemen

u just bumrush them

[last citrus]

aight thanks

[regal iron]

Idk

[twin prairie]

i managed to impale a guy with the back end of a candlestick so

anything goes

[serene tulip]

left click and drag

[deep shale]

id say that lower sensitivity works wonders for thrusting

[twin prairie]

bro is made of paper mache

[regal iron]

Fucking love this tech

[twin prairie]

i cant figure out how to effectively use spears i know they are objectively the best

[last citrus]

they feel very flimsy

[deep shale]

ill jump into voice1 and bust out a gauntlet run if anyone asks nicely

[last citrus]

fighting against them is a pain

[twin prairie]

u have to be very precise which is just the hardest thing to do in this game lol

ive had success holding it forward and charging

[last citrus]

i do that too

i also just impale myself on the enemy spear

[minor veldt]

It's easier in first person

[twin prairie]

i assume so

feels better to swing my barbarian axe

[minor veldt]

Sometimes you just have to get them stuck in the fence and go to town

[serene tulip]

the unconstested champion of Half Sword. Never lost a fight in its life

[regal iron]

You had forgotten it's challenger, the tutorial dummy

[serene tulip]

I'd pay to see a tutorial dummy and fence fight. It might drag on for awhile though'

[regal iron]

Im rooting for tutorial dummy

[serene tulip]

I will cheer for the fence, for the fence has lent me a hand many a time, but the tutorial dummy has beaten me up

[twin prairie]

the amount of times i have seen a death from either myself or an npc from tripping onto a sword

[regal iron]

The fence has done nothing but cheered and witnessed my losses.

[minor veldt]

That duck was clean, fence tech for the win

[mortal pagoda]

Yes.

I finally stopped being careless long enough to get back to here lol.
Time to go get that baron this time

[twin prairie]

so its just drag to position, then double click?

[mortal pagoda]

I use alt

[minor veldt]

Alt makes it so much easier

[regal iron]

Its just tapping alt

[mortal pagoda]

Keep shift held down for stance though

[high wolf]

Yall I can’t download the demo, I click the “download” button and it does nothing

[wind charm]

It's saved me many times

[eager kite]

I have never been able to even play the game

[minor veldt]

Lower your graphics

[eager kite]

I've tried uninstalling

Idk what to do

[minor veldt]

I play on high and when I went down to medium it didn't crash for me

[eager kite]

Guys any ideas?

[past ether]

[last citrus]

[eager kite]

[last citrus]

no idea sorry bro

but it seems like a problem with your pc

[near linden]

what ur specs

[eager kite]

Uh

Idk lemme look

[near linden]

no prob

[eager kite]

It's my gf's computer

[lilac flicker]

is there a way to remove ur armor

[near linden]

freaky guy wants to get nekked

[lilac flicker]

no i wanna try fighting a tier 5 with no armor

[dusty pelican]

Smh

[near linden]

u could use the OVRDTH selector mod, lets u use custom loadouts on any tier.

probably the easiest way

[eager kite]

Amd ryzen 5 7600 6-core processor
16gb memory
Radeon rx7600
Radeon(TM) graphics?

[lilac flicker]

whats the hard way

[near linden]

ok so it should be able to run

[eager kite]

Yeah, it just black screens and plays the music

[near linden]

go into the abyss and dont pick up armour

[near linden]

ok so

[eager kite]

I've never even been able to get to the main menu

[near linden]

load it up and when the music play

press alt + enter same time

[eager kite]

Ok

[near linden]

lmk what happens

[idle bluff]

Shine on u crazy diamond

[eager kite]

A few minutes ago when I tried to launch it and it black screened I tried to alt alt f4 and it crashed the PC I had to restart it

[eager kite]

Nothing?

[near linden]

did it un-fullscreen?

[eager kite]

I can't

No

[lilac flicker]

ive got 3 gb ram, intel core duo t270 and a nvidia geforce g150se and the game runs just fine for me

[eager kite]

That's neat 👍

[lilac flicker]

sounds likea skill issue

[gilded breach]

driver update or ssomethin

[drowsy flint]

does it run any other games?

[gilded breach]

just throwin shit at the wall rly

[eager kite]

All of my other games

[gilded breach]

its not u its the game

[eager kite]

Half sword is the only thing I haven't been able to play

[near linden]

ok i want to try and get it to launch not in fullscreen and see what happens so let me figure out how

[drowsy flint]

validating files on steam? SSD instead of HDD?

[gilded breach]

-windowed in launch options? does that work?

[near linden]

thats what i was gonna suggest

[eager kite]

I can't even alt f4 out of the game

[near linden]

can you alt + tab

[eager kite]

Okay so I was able to close the game but steam won't stop the application from running so I can't relaunch it

Just says "stopping"

[gilded breach]

sounds like a memory thing

[near linden]

it can take some time

[eager kite]

I can't end it in task manager

[charred sand]

anyone know a way around crashing while finishing/exiting the abyss?

[lilac flicker]

lower graphics

[eager kite]

I feel like it will just say stopping forever

[charred sand]

im on the lowest graphics, even lowered my screen resolution lol

[near linden]

next time ur able to, try to launch with -windowed in the lauch options

[charred sand]

RTX 2060 6gb 16gb ram

[lilac flicker]

find a way to make it lower

[eager kite]

I just typed that in but now I can't launch it without having to restart my PC so I guess I'm just going to do that

[near linden]

thats annoying, sorry.

[charred sand]

ahh yes as if seeing legit pixels wasnt low enough but gotchu ill try 😭

[broken zodiac]

So I made it to the ultimate challenge but when 3 dudes spawned the game crashed

Is it a common issue or my pc can't handle it

[eager kite]

Halfsword demo right??

"-windowed" in launch options

[near linden]

yes

[eager kite]

Okay

[near linden]

see what that does

might not work but it'll tell us more about whats going on

[eager kite]

Full black screen

[near linden]

so it blacks ur whole screen out?

[eager kite]

Yesh

Music is playing

Alt enter still does nothing

Alt f4 doesn't do anything I have to wait for it to automatically say by itself that the game will now close

[near linden]

try clicking around, do you hear the menu working?

[eager kite]

Nope

[quasi rain]

no fucking way the 3 abyss boss JUMPED over my scythe

[eager kite]

I can alt tab

But I can't do anything to get half sword to be windowed

[near linden]

ok so again, this might not work but u could try going to half swords files, deleting them and then going to steam and verifying integrity

unfortunately this is something we gotta troubleshoot one by one

ik how annoying this is

[eager kite]

I can't even delete the files because I can't actually close the half sword app even though the window is shut

Steam still just says stopping so I have to restart my PC again before I can try to delete the half sword files

[near linden]

wait

[eager kite]

Lmao

[near linden]

do u check details in task manager

[eager kite]

For some reason it's not showing up in task manager I can't see it unless it's name something differently

[near linden]

sometimes when steam says "stopping" its cuz its still in details

[eager kite]

Are you telling me to find half sword in task manager

[near linden]

yeah so in task manager

[eager kite]

Because it's not in there

[near linden]

have you gone to details?

[rugged imp]

then restart ur pc

[near linden]

id post a screenshot if i could

[eager kite]

Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place I'm restarting real quick and then I'll try to delete the files and verify

[eager kite]

I don't have perms

[austere pond]

Does anybody know how to turn off the fps counter?
