a game that is literally called mordhau
i wasnt correcting you btw i was just saying the name because i wasnt sure if the link would load
np
oh yeah that the old version of chivalry right?
kinda
I know exactly what you're on about - it's not really a useful tactic though
And it's partially possible using the half sword technique
Check #modders-guild-hall
That's a sleepy Willie you have there
i disagree if you are doing the courageous stand there's usually 1 guy in hevy armor. sword make the 3 guys in light or no armor fairly easy but rn especially for smaller swords who don have a nearly as effective half sword stance
heavy
unless im stupid and misread it, there is still a free mode correct?
yes there is free mode
where??
bottom right
its kinda small red text
Or you could use the point of the sword to penetrate the gaps in the armour - regardless of stance?
omg thank you!!
thrusting in this game is cancer ngl
np
but i play in first person and everyone says its fine in third so it prob doesnt matter to most people
Tbf I kept playing abyss only when I first loaded because I couldn't see the buttons lol
As a spear fiend yes I agree. I want to use my scroll wheel for it
that would be great
If you hold alt it pulls your aim out, double clicking is a delayed 'push and pray' moment
i always hold alt and push my mouse back and fourht
The blend spaces are far too wide for spear too
i wisgh 1st person would be tweaked a little since every time you swing or thrust it forces you view all the waydown or up
Oh that's grim - I prefer 3rd because I can see what the body is doing
Also spear stance is wrong, needs to be more side on for actual useage
i found that shift walking to the side aand forward while thrusting helps
he only stopped fighting back because of his arms being broken
were there any changes in the past 3 days?
to the game?
i fucking hate this game now
anyone managed to decapitate someone with only their hands?
fair enough, not the kind of game you probably like I guess
it's not an easy game and it's super buggy.. but I still play it
its not that hard after like 10 hours
does this count as a throw or a bounce
-can't grab things
-can't stab with knifes
-can't stab with swords
-can't stay upright
-can't get off the ground
-can't surrender without getting killed anyways
what the fuck did they do
I say no. I played 10 hours and I still manage to consistently die on third boss
skill issue?
btw here's how to grt up properly ty
nah i used to love it, but this auto lock-on shit fucking sucks balls, the bosses are way overpowered no matter what level you're at, and you're whole run can end because you tripped over your own feet and the enemy cuts you i half while you lay on the ground with no way to get up
shower
I have 7 hours and ive beaten ultimate challenge
literally this
Other than the crashes and miiiiiildy overtuned AI, I think it's fine. I have been crashing constantly during the final boss run, looking for a work around
What DX are you on
turn the blood down and you stop crashing for the most part
there needs to be some sorta system to allow you to get up than the shitty thing thats in the game right now
"you can get up when we feel like it" ass shit
if you hold the mouse button and hover your hand over the object its very easy
its much better to swing knives if you cant stab well with them, same with swords (hold alt btw)
try to practice balancing more, its easy as long as you dont exhaust yourself
wont fall down if you practice not falling
pause and exit to menu, prevents death and has same consequences as surrendering
i can't fucking stand how the fights are over as soon as you die
DX2/II
Broski, words from vfx artist for half sword: Getting up dev tip:
press W in the direction ur legs are at, and the camera needs to be pointing where the feet are
Change it to the other one
WHY IS THIS NEVER EXPLAINED ANYWHERE
thats typically when fights end
THAT IS CRITICAL INFO BRRO
It's pinned, I guess..
yeah if it's "realistic" but when's the last time reality was ever fun
LMAO no it isn't
play free mode or yeah turn down player damage
Wheres yo head at...
depends on what you're describing as realistic
if I go down in a real sword fight I’m either giving up or dying violently 🗣️🗣️
Clearly it's a sci-fi game where you fight clones of yourself
if you're saying the gore and violence are realistic, yeah it's better than most
it's physics based, it's meant to be realistic
if you're saying the gameplay and physics are realistic, you're out of your mind
I mean he's not wrong because you can't do zwerch in this game and that is not very realistic >:(
Compared to your average swordfighting game, hell yea tbh
I WANT ZWERCH!!!
just got stabbed in the shoulder and instantly killed, sure is realistic isn't it
i remember when my brother got hit in the shoulder with a baseball and fucking exploded
i sure do miss him
just dodge
if you're having that much of a skill issue turn down player damage
Keep in mind it’s still a pre release demo and not even early access yet, devs are working their nuts off trying to tweak everything in the right way
WHAT IS A SWORDFIGHTING GAME WITHOUT ZWERCH
WHAT THE FUCK
WHY DOES THIS GAME NOT HAVE ZWERCH
Also if you get stabbed in the shoulder you’re probably bleeding out in like 30 seconds realistically
Huge ass artery in there
I WANNA DO A ZWERCHCOPTER UNTIL MY ENEMIES DIE
this is really the only reason i haven't uninstalled yet because i know it's still in development and i'm waiting for things to improve
willie is angry
its not fair to say a game sucks because you need more practice in it
25 hours
this ^^
an entire day's worth of playtime on this game
grind more then idk
lol
tell that to any big streamer who plays this game
Anyways
nope
game is not that hard I managed to get to the 4th boss yesterday while only using fists
Also
the day multiplayer is implemented, any complaints i have are null because both players should be equally susceptible to bullshit and it's nobody's fault
but when you're a single person fighting AI, there's literally no reason why i should be dying to shit that makes zero sense
they really need to put more weapons that can stand up to the candelavra at lower teirs
"I FUCKING LAGGED!!!"
"bro its local multiplayer"
you'd complain even more when you fight people that are actually good at the game compared to bots that basically do nothing
untrue
fighting candlestick with pinchers... 😨
but i guess we won't know for a while
rn we have small beuharts i cant wait for medium and large ones at full release
Pc explosion
vaporized
hey.. i think maybe you should try some more defensive tactics.. maybe try.. not getting hit? try parrying or uhh.. blocking..
lol
That's a lot of damage
id rather just go fist to cuffs
is there a dedicated dodge mechanic or is it just shidft moving?
or just slowing down time and parrying is so easy
true
you can slow down?
the bullet time is very useful if you manage it right
press f
this is actually good advice holy hell i didn't think you had it in you
holy shit theres a keybind menu in the settings
keybind guide*
Press F to slow down time, press Z to lock or unlock now
yah
i do wish i could use baron to just murder a bunch of beggars though without needing mods cus i cba
Does anyone know how to parry thrusts?
just get to the top again since it's so easy
It's so fast
u cant but still i learned everything through trial and error lol
Smack them away or at least try to
thats not how it works
except for the thrusting, didnt learn that for a while
you'd know that if you could get to the top but guess you cant cus bad
I think this has been an issue for all of history
skill issue
the full game nds a tutorial
it's probably an issue irl too, that's why we have shields
Basically the same way I parry polearms, predicting where they will be
just alt f4 if your bouta die
find medieval swordfighting documentation
i would say the beggar tier is a good tutorial
nah i mean actually using the golden armor dude to just kill beggars
thats so smooth omg
lets you teach yourself the game mechanics in a low risk arena
also how come alt tabbing out of the game usually crashes it
just look at hema videos. thr only thing I think should be mentioned in thr game itself is this:
Getting up dev tip:
press W in the direction ur legs are at, and the camera needs to be pointing where the feet are
It's a pinned message btw
In this chat
i do want an update soon games kinda boring after doing ultimate challenge
nice that dood to know
holy i cant type
genuinely this game got me fighting with omni man level threats
just parried and the attack went through my block
skill issue
just block better
would you shut your fucking mouth
turn damage to player to max
turn damage to npc to min
how?
That's not very polite
should i tell him i like the fred durst pfp
you gotta have more structhre in your parry and parry with the STRONG not thr WEAK
its in the settings
Settings then go to game tab
and if it's the third boss it doesn't matter because you'll get blown through anyways
i've managed to at least understand that already, big sword is hard to parry
yep but just don't parry with the tip, parry with the base instead
base of the blade
that's what i was doing, i ended up losing a leg
that's strong-weak people are talking about in swordsmanship
When it comes to unarmored sword play, I would say the winner is usually the one that swings first
yeah i should mention i'm fighting unarmored
Damn, that's one of the cleanest backhand stabs I've done with the halberd
or atleast, the one that HITS first
True
And not with a stupid cut, a strong, good cut
Also true
Because swords aren't lightsabers.
game physics thinks otherwise unfortunately
No, they're more like lungemines apparently lol
it's fairly easy to cleave someone in half on the ground with a very thin, flimsy sword
True lol
They gotta fix that shit
i don't mind it, it's one of many cases where i think the fun is better than the realism for this game
also i just hit someone in the face with a sword, clean strike, ends up being totally find as he takes my arm off and i bleed out instantly
i don't know if blood usually bleeds that fast but it was pretty quick
do you see warriors with badass face scars or missing arms more often, I think the former
i'm talking straight through the face, brain on a skewer, willie kabob
Meant for piercing gaps in armor
Add rapiers :3
True
Once the thrusting mechanic is refined and feels more good to use, add the rapier.
Imagine a fencing game mode being added...
i mean they basically do already have an estoc
I just loaded into the game and have no skin
Personally I’m the #1 tuna fish
Anybody want to.join a halfsword discord server just for vc's let me know i made one
Do you mean Willie corn 🥰 or void willie
i just had an amazing 9 minute duel with 1 guy and he was parrying me so well with a buckler and broke my gaurd by punching me with his shield i beat him but not by much
what
it was insane
Once I died and beat the level at the same time and Willie was butt naked
Cheeks out and everything
my ass would just pull out a shotgun and shoot him
How do i get mods for the game?
i have player and npc damage both at the lowest one
honestly it was way more realistic than the higher settings tbh
Search up Halfsword nexus mods
It’s easy
Most likely they’ll have instructions
willie is a sword swallower
what does the gore setting change?
It's the funny slider
how easily bodies can be dismembered i think
Guys is my BGM for playing half sword good
gatcha
I cant send an image of my skinless people
I figured out a new grip type for my weapons. I call it the battering ram grip
what are they doing
wanna do that against soldier boss
You might find it tricky. It involves dropping your weapon and then trying to pick it up with both hands at the same time.
Makes it freak out and hold it funny lol
imma try it tomorrow or later since im doing homework rn
such an honorabu fight!
how do i pledge alligeance? its not letting me
says i can pledge but its greyed out
you must promote to militia rank at least
ohh
yeah thats gonna take a while
commoner boss does me in
do different alligeances have differnt stats
commoner boss does everyone in, so don't feel bad
yes
temporary sheathe
how do i reset the gauntlet after i finished it, if i wanted to do it again
how can i find these out
Pledge alligence to what
resets automatically when you beat it iirc
when you reach soldier tier i think
the factions you can pick
i didnt beat the ultimate challenge maybe thats the issue, just went and deleted the save folder
you can hover over them when you ahve the option to select them
alr
it resets when you beat the ultimate challenge
you could also just let yourself be killed
Its always these fuckers with their long ass ranged weapons
This game is making me wanna shave my fucking head
Where'd the fences go
eated
sliced 2/3rds through a willie's head and he took it like a champ :o
no fences in the ultimate challenge
yum
ngl im not gonna make a bug report cause i need to make this whole thing but i'm
lmao, youll get there eventually
idk i chose a character, like somewere from the mid section with a sword in the free play and i'm in the game with only "naked" npc's yk
didnt get sent to the abyss this time
only pants and sometimes knifes in the 1v1v1v1v1 one
im not going crazy am i? that went straight through his neck right
cornering them with the fence so they cant keep distance and keeping them split up helps a lot
I DID IT
SLICED OFF HIS LEG
he cut off my arm too but
fair trade
faster dodging? how do i dodge
didnt know i could
is there a dodge?
a allegiance says fastter dodging
does it mean faster shift walk?
One question, is the armor drop random ? or is just a bug ? sometimes I am in gave 6 and they havent drop a single piece of armor
Is the hardest challenge not fatal erroring before winning
How do I get the game playtest?
it's the demo now
both are in a whole single bundle
Yall just tell me what’s your impression on the halfsword lore
aint it just 1400 germany
It’ll be funny
ight that's cool i guess
cinema
gave him a facelift
I just wanted the weapon to continue tormenting my Willie man
do you heal in the ultimate challenge
nope lol
damn so as soon as anyone hits you at all just restart
Kind of yes
He was trying to reconnect with his other half
LMAO
if i die do i lose purple willie
psa that if you play on the lowest gore setting you won't crash
no
nope
oh nice
wait woah they turned off slow mode
they did?
I just did it earlier tho? 
slow modes so OP for spears
oh lol
Yeah, until you face two or three of them
tru
honestly slow mode just fucks me up
alr imma do the "ultimate challenge" now
i haven't been able to do anything with it aside from get my legs cut off
good luck
lmfao
Why is this man still alive. I am running out of weapons to embed in him
i mostly hit myself with it
okay then
low damage settings
I think it's cone in front of you and then closest target within that cone, but I could be wrong
It's certainly not finished and I bet they'll make it target cycle with a button or a better dynamic build
we'll have to wait and see 🙂
flamingo leg literally kiling me rn
how come it said fatal error and distracted me even though i could continue playing
same thing happened to me earlier
it just ruined the only good run i got in the ultimate challenge
it happened after i killed a guy and he dropped armor
Yeah but that will close the game like 2 min the game closes
how do i progress past the abyss
i killed the first boss but i dont know how to actually play as the different tiers
play free mode
highest fps carnage match
but i wanna like progress through the levels
i just saw a video of someone doing it
Gets spikey spear
At least, I get to win, this should be easier
Two spear enemies spawn
idk man i kepe getting high fps on high settings but i keep crashing, and somehow i get lower fps on lower settings too 😔
how do i progress past the abyss. i killed the first boss but i dont know how to actually play as the different tiers
the armour damage in this game is so stupid, i cut someones head off and if my blade is in the way of their helmet it slices through like butter but then i bash a spike into the armour and it barely dents
and the way you can just cut through skulls like nothing but then their spine is 5x harder to cut through
can limbs heal when damaged to the point of limping but being able to stand?
how do i progress past the abyss. i killed the first boss but i dont know how to actually play as the different tiers
u just click the icons, it would be farmer after the first boss
what are you on about
scratch that half of my right foot is missing
u gotta keep killing things till u get to the boss u were on
huh?
How are you starting the game?
keep killing the farmers who attack u till u get to the boss with the scythe
how comes it's easy'ish to fight a 1v3 in the small buhurt gamemode but god forbid me get past 2 barely armored spearmen in the ultimate challenge
i go into the game, i can click abyss at the bottom, or i can change to free mode on the right side
then the screen goes white and u leave the abyss
just click play, did u die or something then get sent to the abyss?
you click play demo on the left
i click play demo on the left, is my game broke like wtf
im doing what ur saying
and i kill the first boss
im praying for a good ultimate challenge run
and im still stuck in there
i just restarted the game and it fixed itself
great game
lower the gore setting it is by default way to high it dictates how easily you can slice aand dice flesh and armor
i wish the ultimate challenge had guaranteed armor drops
rate 1-10 i think i cooked
only reason i have it on high is to cut off heads lol
but like the only weapons that actually cut heads are axes and the voulge
what if someone made half sword analog horror
i dont think there is anything that could be a horror in half sword lol
maybe all the gore
understandable i have it here and get a rare decapitation or limb cut off but i havent gotten any of the absurd cuts that the normal gore gives
if yall want a game similar to halfsword but more horror then go try out exanima
ew promoting other games in the chat?
where do i change these settings?
i just have mine on high to get decapitations from the voulge at the very base of the neck, its so satisfying to just hit their neck and their head goes flying off while they are standing
should be in settings, game, gore
yeah thanks
in game theirs a little button called gore
pretty sure half sword took some inspiration from exanima
maybe they did
yea i heard it somewhere, think it was from the half sword tiktok or something
which is the best faction to join last run I joined the better stamina
im so sad my gfavorite sword is paired with my most hated hemet
It's up to you, but I'm currently at the taking less damage faction, cause if you're gonna get hit eitherway you might aswell take all the hits and get a small chance of winning
Thanks
why do the spearmen in the ultimate challenge have such great aim man, normally u kill them easily but they keep 1 stabbing me from pretty far in the ultimate challenge
whenever i kill a guy and he drops armor in the ultimate challenge it says fatal error
Waiter, waiter! More spearman please!
yeah they're easy in the normal challenges and stuff but idk why in the last challenge they just snipe me or something
oh I know, they're assholes. I just like finding effective ways to dispatch them
can never get past the 4th wave because a spearman will stab my guts out
idk i tried shields, deflecting them like normally
will they ever add like vikings or some other faction to fight against?
anyone got ideas they think would be cool
my settings do not work, like my audio sliders do not work at all
OH COME ON.
can this sword be broughout to the teir below knight and be attatched to a different helmet
HRE stand for Honestly Really Ez
is there limb healing for minor damage in the final level or no?
Teach me sensei
Spin to your right as you move left, they can handle the power of dance and honestly you can just twirl past their spear tip/pitch fork
i cant beat the final level so I just play free mode knight and see how many times i can knock them over without making them give up/giving them brain damage
I cannot teach if I'm still learning myself
Ur much better than I am bro
I cannot get past militia
can't lie that the longsword boss is a tick too hard
Fight the weapon first and then from the opening you've made, kill Willie
Honestly run at him and just straight up impaled him, take a two weapon option or keep the pitch fork for that tier
For the longsword boss
pitchfork and spears in general suck against longsword can't lie
tried multiple times and never worked
Yes sensei, 我會做到的!
When I impaled that Willie's willy he had a bad time at least
Use the bastard sword, beat the weapon away and swing at his torso
What’s the bastard sword?
is this the basard sword?
Shorter version of the longsword, you get it in the lower tiers
oh nvm
U mean the skinny swords?
any1 know what sword this is?
BRUHHHH I WAS ALREADY AT THE FINAL BOSSS IN THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE
FUUUUCCKKKKKKK
SO CLOSE
this game is so funny
lmao I just headbutt the greatsword boss in the abyss
i lost at knight cause a guy phased his wpn through my armour
i maintain this commoner boss is bullshit
lol
still not as much bullshit as that spikey spear
Is the final round of the game even winnable?
Thx. Just didn't know if it was bugged out to the point that it wasnt
yes it is, the ultimate challenge is possible
you can ignore the "fatal error" things sometimes
the tiniest graze on my foot just instantly kills me
ive experienced worse things
like
a guy phased his wpn through my armour
like it was nothing
which only happened because my weapon spawned in my hands wrong
ok nevermind
HAHAHAH
so that's a ruined run :)
Hey, dont know if its the right place to ask, but is there a way to get back up on your feet quicker?
Also how do you beat the longsword guy?
whats the best weapon to beat commoner boss
the pointed spear with nails
I wish I had known this before 😦 lol
complete?
because of a concussion
do you have a photo of it
i only got one piece
uc is ridiculously ridiculous
yes, just go to #photography📷
oh they dont have that in commoner
oh, thats bad
yeah guess ill try and abuse slow mode
judo w
are the large two handed swords in the soldier rank and above greatswords, claymores or longswords? i can't really tell
EVERY time i get somewhat far in ultimate i just get a fatal error
like this sword, is it a greatsword or what
yes its a greatsword
its the legendary loot drop
thought greatswords were renaissance tho
what about the ones in the soldier rank, are they greatswords? they seem too large to be a longsword but too small to be a greatsword so im guessing they are claymores
Does anyone know how to break the opponents arm
dunno im not super familiar with all the weapons
maybe the commoner 2h swords are bastard swords and the soldier ones are longswords
how do you use it without it instantly draining all of your stamina
"dear mr.halfsword, would you be so kind as to not put me against a Plancon and spear whilst I only have obtained the mere essence of a small mace?" 🥺
NO
just slow mo and whack the spear to the side then bonk em in the head
but im not that good :(
fair, half the time i try whack the spear away i end up getting stabbed in the hip and dying, a stab to the hip shouldn't be fatal
this man just counter my punches by GRABBING ME WHILE HE HOLDS HIS SWORD and throws me on the ground
Npcs get goofy when you turn off their brain (They always stance and go to their final destination before their brain got turned off)
it's kinda like freezing time on them lol
wyd in this situation?
my pc randomly overheated and turned off while i was playing half sword anyone know why
you half sworded too hard
I hit like three nasty blocks on the axes with a billhook, so my character thinks its only fair to drop his weapon without my approval :)
kill
First, distract target. Then block his blind jab. Counter with cross to left cheek. Discombobulate. Dazed, he'll attempt a wild haymaker. Employ elbow block, and body shot. Block feral left. Weaken right jaw. Now fracture. Break cracked ribs. Traumatize solar plexus. Dislocate jaw entirely. Heel kick to diaphragm. In summary, ears ringing, jaw fractured, three ribs cracked, four broken. Diaphragm hemorrhaging. Physical recovery: six weeks. Full psychological recovery: six months. Capacity to spit at back of head: neutralized."
i like that movie
anyone know if theres any benefit to equipping clothes in the abyss? obviously armor good, i just mean like shirt and pants and shoes
ive never seen my charecter fumble this hard
WHY DID YOU TURN THE AXE BLADE BRO
WILLY LOCK IN
bonk
holy fuck i swung and broke this guy's knee with a hammer
and it just folded backwards
atleast I know that the ultimate challenge is very ultimate
the sound was so gross lol
Oh yeah the hammers are absolutely busted
I like to aim for the head with a polearm and watch them crumple
They also carried me through the ultimate challenges twice
i'm a monster now
Climbing the gauntlet is crazy hard atm
i wish it just knocked you down a full tier instead of sending you to the abyss
yeah that would be nice
either that or make it faster to get off the ground if you're uninjured
the physics and stuff is still too glitchy imo to justify how strong some of the bosses are
mainly just commoner rly
even the guy with the spiky spear isn't that bad
yeah commoner knight dude is pretty tough
commoner is the one that i die on most often
if i make it past him, i'm fine
gone all the way to final challenge more than once
but 95% of my rounds end on that guy
and the peasant one is fairly hard too if you don't get anything close by that you can fight with
i dont think he's too bad because even with the knife that's a guaranteed spawn you can slash him and he'll die in one hit sometimes
but the commoner also seems to have an insane amount of health
i've slashed through his face and neck multiple times before and he just keeps fighting
half the time I don't see a knife anywhere and he pushes me to the ground and beheads me with his axe
its usually directly in the center
i just bait him towards me
then run around and grab it
thanks for the tip
How do I restart the gauntlet?
Got scared for a second
I also REALLY don't like how they're giant, as if their gear wasn't advantage enough, and they can just casually knock you over and throw you around with grabs
Smol boy
poor life
help, i'm not able to move when the battle starts so i keep dying to the great foe
You're only a monster if you Karate Kid it and intentionally go for the legs
What faction is the best?
I like the one that restores stamina faster
The one who reduces the damage is useful or it just reduces it by 0.1?
iunno
This dude is so kevin dude
do you brutally mutilate them
not more than pictured

so no vicious limb chopping
nah i don't really do that

if you die in the ultimate challenge can you just start at it again?
im seeing someone start at ultimate challenge after dying
bro the first boss is so unfair
so ive beaten the gauntlet mode and now my game has mad crashes
tutorial on how to not have the AI instantly just hug me every goddamn time
same here
whats up with the ai streching out when they die in ultimate challange
like what
and crashing constantly the fuck
I've had no issues after switching to the lowest graphics settings and completely turning off gore
not an ideal solution, but at least I can live to get killed by the baron. I imagine this will be resolved in the future
Does anyone know what the logos font is called?
why cant I get any good combo's when im recording but I can when i'm not :(
forgetting to record is OP
Man, all your shorts look like you are just pressing everything without knowing what are you doing, lol ...
thank you
I have this same issue
im just gonna get something that records when I get a kill dude 😭
u can use the replay buffer feature if u have obs
good thing I downloaded it today, thank you
yeee no worries u just gotta set it up first but you can find a tutorial ^-^
this ultimate challenge is not fun as soon as you get nicked in the elbow you might as well just restart cus it'll handicap you for the rest of the run and you'll die anyway
and if you get bad drops and the next enemies all have like the best weapons in the game
just restart
I cant put into words how much I despise the first boss
II a
am
Fucking suffering
Randomly get chopped in half at soldier?? Then get like ZERO weapons in abyss?
BACK TO THE GUY WITH A FUCKING AXE THAT YOU HAVE TO FIGHT WITH A SHOVEL
grab the knife on the ground and stab him in the chest
dont forget having to fight the Plancon with the tiny little mace that's smaller than your hand :)
at this point i wanna purposefully lose all my progress just to play the normal game again
the ultimate challenge suuucks
wow the candlesticks have much better stabs than pretty much every dagger ive used
you have got to be joking
knight boss, guys weapon just glitches through my armor
physics bugs and kills me instantly
TWO GUYS WITH FUCKING SPIKED SPEARS IN THE ABYSS?
fuck this game
spiked spears are my worst nightmare
i'm uninstalling
mainly because im a longsword main
I wanna get better with one handed weapons like the falchion but the AI decides then to just hug me
the most bs part is when you get lightly tapped in the head and willie loses every single bit of strengthi n his legs
and it takes 20 million years to get back up
Is that with or without helmet and what weapon?
I can from personal experience say that even a padded longsword can hit really hard despite a fencing mask in friendly sparring
Why did he do that
A steel weapon in a duel to the death is gonna be way worse
How get custom armor?
OH MY GOD WHY IS IT A FILE 😭
download ovrdth
theres some tutorials on youtube with links
Nexus?
yo
gore
they removed time from the chat
yes
so ppl talk abt halfsword in halfsword chat
OK cool thx
Fuckin hell
most of my experience is just fencing in highschool
i miss my epee
wait, i still have it
i wish the ultimate challenge didnt have infinite attempts so i could actually go back into the normal regular game
cant u just lose normally?
i cant do the ultimate challenge for the life of me
i either get close to winning and then get a fatal error or i die of skill issue/physics bs
ohu cant
I did Olympic epee for 6 months before switching to the Hema club that was using the same hall
I dont have HEMA here I think
I like that hema is far less ”sporty”
ultimate challenge turns this into a rage game
not anywhere too accessible anyway
Have you tried a google search. The lack of ads mean they are very easy to miss
they exist here but they're real far away
would do so when I have the finances and the time though
Im lucky that mine is pretty close
Im still saving up for protective gear. Most clubs have padded foam swordsthat only need a mask to spar
does anybody know any ways I could make my photos of Halfsword any better/more cinematic?
Help me
No
are you dead or dying
I'm dying
i wish you respawned instantly in the ultimate challenge so you dont have to go back to main menu again and again and again
Oi mates
i cant really tell what is going on there
yeah
im not sure if he stabbed himself or you stabbed him
all my photos look like this so i cant really give advice 😭
my sword glitched from halfsword to stabbing myself in the gut somehow
Are you sure?
are you sure
Are you sure
i died to a farmer
i was afk and decided i wont wear a helmet
lmfao I tried to grab a willie's pitchfork to counter it and he threw me to the floor
did he give you one to many cabbages
Just play around with the effects honestly
And see what works for you
any way to use the inventory or only when you already have weapons in it?
why is it whenever I run at the start of the round I just randomly stop running?
hold e to
e or q
to sheathen
like I run 3-5 steps then just stop
tfw read this while in-game and I just dropped my item and died
dont hold shift at the start
then use fists
yeah but I was literally mid-parry
I really wanna be able to make something like the first one dude, its just perfect
ate a hoe to the ribs when I couild've blocked it
wtf
you can still see the colors of the shirt, but its also kind of dark
ive just been spamming that same move over and over again cos its fun
and very unreactable
try parrying this in pvp
For the first photo I used the Desaturated filter then I added some blur, played around with the saturation, contrast and bloom and pretty much everything
How I managed to take it tho, I timed it at the moment of impact so I can get that specific shot
alright, thanks for the info, it'll definatelly help me learn about the color grading part of taking pictures ingame :)
No problem man, dont be afraid to experiment with colors
You might surprise yourself :D
i keep rying to get a sick shot but my timing is off
my guy didnt pick up the weapon in time he just stared at it and caressed it then someone buried a weapon in his back
Honestly its getting lucky most of the time lmao, if I think it's a good enough shot I'll experiment on it
Cool shot tho :0
thanks
If I may ask, which tab is bloom in?
These are the only "cinematic" ones I took so far in the current demo version of the game
whoops, theres no bloom in any of the tabs. My bad @_@
Alls well man, lol
Btw, turning on Grid always helps
decided to do a "fly-through" of the photo i'm probably going to take
Low-key 🔥
sent dude flying
I am one more win away from 60
How do you stop the fatal error crashes?
disable blood
stop error crashes from being fatal
the crashes cant be fixed you need some nasa computer to stop it 😭
what angle should i do for a good photo
maybe try looking over the guy on the left's should to where you can see the guy on the right being hit and being zoomed in a little bit but also a little farther away than normal?
Im not that good at explaining the zoomed in part sorry
wish I could make my character sit down instead of just kneeling by holding S while also left control
it'd make a good picture :D
damn, Abyss got hands, I got assaulted by 2 guys in quick succession. Is that normal?
legit didn't even get to finish smacking the first guy before the second full cleaved me
whats the best faction
in my opinion the one with faster stamina regen is best
Depends on your play style
liek this?
what the hell is point of the game at higher ranks i cant even break their armour
looks nice, maybe try the right shoulder, you might like that POV too :)
You're not really intending to, you wanna try get to weakpoints on their joints, necks, armpits, hips etc
Otherwise you just wanna KO them with hits to the head, or disable their arms and knock them down
yeah looks nice
Break them like a crab with a hammer (you're the one with the hammer, not the crab usually.)
damn so i cant break their armour by hitting them over and over
1 sec let me send a clip
what button was show gui again
H?
fur was
my thing is broken lol
doesnt even work weird
odd
m whole game broke couldnt even leave photo mode
anybody maybe know a way to maneuver yourself to make it look as if your lean-sitting on the fence?
just give them a concussionhttps://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/k86ctcVb1t-QuS9JN?invite=cr-MSwxNlAsMjExMzkzMzkx
Watch Half Sword and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
thats like tier 6 or 7
im at militia doing small buhorts
Best I can get is this
theres dudes with full plated armour and i cant break through
the hotline miami music fits the CCTV footage quality
what milita weaponry is good for full plate enemies
Blunt force trauma: 
I enjoyed using shield with mace and/or shortaxe
I use Plançon for...well... everyone basically
planktonm
soooo the mace would be good?
what the hells a plancon
the thing from spongebob
yeah just mad swings lmao
😭 no not plankton
i mean he went down
spiked spear is plancon
although images only tell me it's more of a blunt club with spikes
oh im using that right now and it sucks against full plate unless im not hitting the right spots
yeah i try to be a bit more calm with the axe, because i get winded easily
i dont like lags
REAL
Glorified spiked club
ban plancon
I have weird PC problems that mean I can't really play to the fullest, with or without lag, so I might as well have the visuals be nice
i just try to break their wrists if they use a shield and if not i go for non armoured spots
if theres no unarmoured spots angry swing in the head so they trip and then i chop em up
i like the fact that theres 2 variants, one with 12 uniform spikes perpendicular to each other on the end of the stick with a spearhead, and another with just erratic with lots of spikes, and a spearhead
billhook on steroid
alright how am i supposed to beat militia boss when he has a better plancon
he doesnt protect his toes
i see
Personally I'm hardstuck on the commoner boss when I can't really parry the sword all that well
speedrunners just throw their weapon at everyone
if you want fast trial and error method with minimum risk
for me i just hope i parry his first hit then get close enough to slash him hard
the 2 types, you can choose his one
yeah i got the one on the right
the one on the right is heavier i think
left one range 🔥 🔥
Out-Plancon him
bosses are just really trial and error arent they
but it has a spikehead and cant slash well
but the left has a spear head that can slice
i clashed with the boss and managed to push my plancon into his head
so does soldier have the same weapon meta
nah the bill is built different
billt different
Does anyone have any advice for a new player? Like are there any universally accepted "good guides/tips"?
Figure out if you like dodging or parrying more
I cant think of anymore photo ideas 😔
Personally I think learning the general ranges of your reach is pretty important, but I'm also fairly new to the game.
damn the bosses get easier as you go on
lack of armour early on is why its so difficult
do i lose gauntlet progress if i quit the game
no
Commoner boss
struggling to get a poke onto the boss while he cleaves me in half 💔
stab your fork up his cork 
but his cranium is sticking out
nah hes easy
If you extend your weapon out and press space, you will get easier pokes
kicking launches you forward
dang kicking while extended pokes well?
thats cool
gotta try thgat
Bosses that are actually somewhat hard (when fighting in the same rank) are Commoner, Soldier and Baron
commoner kills me the most
Parrying him doesn't work even
but the weight and length of his sword will still cut you
Everytime I beat him, I just use his own sword to dice him up
I cheated just to see what the gauntlet was like, it does seem like it gets easier as it goes on
After Soldier, everything became easy
soldier is okay, but commoner...
This boss really have sword bigger than you
Soldier is easier than Commoner
You can just get very close to him and he can't do shit
yeah
Commoner is just...Every range within him is just death
Baron is just a block of tungsten
Fighting him isn't hard, its just trying to knock him down thats hard
Sapientia praestat ubi vis deficit
ill be the judge... with my willy!
sometimes i take lower rank, and using pitchfork or hoe
to defeat him
real
bro couldnt handle my willy, he fell to his knees
i killed him with my bare hands lmao
peak
real
nah dawg ill always stay with the argument that spears make no sense man
like how is it that he pierces my arm or foot and I just die instantly
major artery
hell nah
thats why thigh lacerations and gunshot wounds have such high mortality rates
Guys should I sleep or keep trying to get cool photos in Halfsword?
Sleep 🙄
Halfsword 😆
the worst place to bleed from is anything below ur waist
HALFSWORD!!!!!!
YAY
second worst being ur gut
then your neck
even your neck
which is really bad obviously
with pressure
its a smaller area
but ur leg?
cant walk
harder to apply pressure
this is modern medicine btw
half sword youd be even more cooked
imagine being hit with a rusty pitchfork through an important artery
ur COOKED
yap
u asked
why does the guy instantly fall to the ground as soon as i touch the first champion? Is it because the champion is much bigger?
btw
do you know what the champion does to the guy??
no pic perms looking ahh
everybody laugh
nothing. hes just holding his axe up. i run into him and fall down..
the baron took your roles as well
cause hes bigger and has a strength multiplier i think
ok. this fight feels so differnt then all the others..
When Zwercopter update?
i just joined
corny
commoner boss is definitely the hardest
Mmmmm corn
i really do not care
cared enough to ping me for it
look at the cornball projecting
so far im mostly just flailing arround. how do i learn the proper way to play the game? is there any tutorials out. i not only am not good at the game, but i generally lack the knowledge about the topic. how to stance, how to block stuff like that
