Oh yeah that was just for the heeheehaha's
Like I want to throw a weapon at their feet and ignite their fighting spirit once more

im using baron sword against beggars, i swear im getting revenge from that willie
whoa
yeah that bug is fun
yea real
mine also
i love how heavy baron weapons are, like, he barely can move them, i cant imagine a normal character
yep
i can move them around a lot
That would be sick (I know you reacted to the wrong message 😭)
yeah you gotta flow with them
i just swap hands frequently
REPLIED NOT REACTED
i wish throwimg was better would be cool to hit hatchet tosses
that works?
im always using the same hand
Fuck it though it's your life
bro i fucking sniped a guy in spoilance after throwing a candle holder at his face
yea
Why sometimes is the character unable to retrieve a weapon?
especially on the halberd
just hold your fist out in the direction of the weapon
it works for me
yea
I mean I think throwing works pretty well considering it's pretty much not even an actual system
i hope they add that you can challenge lower tiers with baron
how do i control my blade better
realistic fist fights wallahi 😭
or higher with beggar, in free mode
yeah ig
Slower mouse movements
i fucking sniped a guy using a candle holder across the arena in spoilance
yeah, I mean the momentum could just get canelled as soon as you drop something
That's what I do, but he doesn't get a gun even if he makes the move to
slow mouse movements and high sens is what i use
me too
idk then
bro is getting serious
pimp slap
high sens is the only way you can kill, low you cant even build up a swing my guy wont even clench his fists
[insert extended threat monologue here]
it does on steamdeck
it does on speed
why would it affect kicks
spinkick
i domt flick for kick
do you know how to spinkick
he fucking ate my foot
good one
ATE💅 💁♀️
yes
right now i founded a pretty strong foe
sens is literally too low for it on steamdeck
I love headbutting mfs
simple effective, but not good at stopping strikes, 8/10
Straight up gas directly into their cranium
I know
rips ur heart out
I cant do it consistently
willie managed to handle
3 spinning baron kicks
6 left hooks with baron armour
1 headbutt
being demolished in the floor
2 right jabs
I usually first block then hit from that stance, but this one was a lil too slow for me
oko
that willie had some bussines with the baron
I love oxtail stance too
he is the willpower
are you ok bro?
reaexactly
my arm got torn off in such a quick and clean way i didnt even bleed out and die like that
after winning that i tabbed out for 10 seconds
good
dude steamdeck is so ass it cant even play these vids
i cant play em either on pc
me niether
what are your damage settings?
ok i confirmed willie is some kind of superior entity
how did you get those?
to my advantage....
oh
im currently trying to "reedem myself" after beating the ultimate challenge with low damage settingss
its a father and son
i gave a photoshoot to a fucking sword
wrastlin
next Im going to beat the new abyss with disadvantageous settings
how are you not dead
happened to me once
the arm is literally torn off
my arm got cut off so quickly i didnt even bleed out and die
ive had my arm cut deep and i bleed out
yet someones arm is dismembered and theyre not dead
LMAO the dude started spasming out
if you stick someone with a plancon it sends them flying if its deep enough
imma try that out
yea i discovered that since a few months ago
yeah make sure the main spear is inside them and the spikes should also be inside
for me i leave it inside of them and then pick it up while looking straight down
it makes them go flying
i think ive done it to the soldier boss
to the 4th tier grete I used the plancon to literally leg sweep them
The spike got stuck and as I pulled it he literally flipped around
I wish i had that on video
lmao what an all longsword carnage
we desperately need an option to be able to fight with missing arms
I have to say the great axe is so easy to defend against
4/5 chances that the first attack is overhead
yeah bro real
The patterns are very simple of it
its so easy to parry with a longsword
yea exactly
In old Demo it was a fuckin killer though
but just the slightest of touches from the axe it can take an arm off or even instant death
i lost a really long and cinematic fight bc my guy started whining on the ground over a lost arm
what a coward
you can barely fight after getting your arm cut
Guys can i play against my friend ?
theres no multiplayer
since there's already damage sliders i feel like it only makes sense to add more fun cheats like that
Ppl can barely continue to use an arm after it has been cut, let alone a whole part of it CUT OFF
i'd like a drink bartender
just use your good hand to use your secondary
just use your secondary and swing away with your good arm
it always works for me
idk with yall
depends on the cut
i guess but a secondary doesnt work as well as the primary
sometimes its too severe and willie cant use either arm and just clutches the severed one
most cuts break your arm
No but in all honestly willie has a 99 mentality stat
Bro gets his hand torn off and still continues to fight
or has a whole blade inside his stomach
bro still going
pretty sure thats just adrenaline lol
i stabbed a guy in the chest and let go of my longsword and he was still standing up
or maybe a damage bug
happens way too often
are the damage sliders not working? i don't remember there being an update
it always works
idk man if I had a blade going through my liver not even adrenaline could save me from that one
they dont affect the damage as much as you think they would
not a bug, intentional that your guy clutches whatever gets hurt (like if ur heads bleeding and took alot of hits, willie holds his hands to his head if not swinging a weapon
real
yea ik
I took a picture in half sword but I didn't actually screenshot it and now if I look at it in the album in photo mode I can't look at the picture without stuff in the corners so I can't even screenshot it

sadge
lemme go severe some poor bastards arm rq
gn gng
Goodnight chat
yeah it looks like this
what kind of english is in halfsword
enlgish
i noticed its VERY close to modern english
so sad this has no multiplayer
Hedgeborn 🗣️🗣️
Yeah, but it's not even nearly a finished game
Eggard! 🗣️ 🗣️ 🔥🔥🔥
Almost beat ultimate challenge, then bam there's the boogeyman. Fatal Error!
its really hard to do multiplayer in this kinda game
sadge
RAGAMUFFIN
Genuine pain
flibbertigibbet! 🗣️ 🗣️
whats the voiceline that sounds like a certain slur
got image perms and im posting this
EGGARD 🗣️ 🔥🔥
had a drunk talk with guys abt how cool a half sword designed medeival mmo would be
I wonder when we will get guts back 🩸
i love spilling dudes intestines after stabbing them in the gut
Real shit
I THREW A HALBERD AND DOMED THIS MF
Oh my god
I got a fatal error right before the Baron, I killed him and won right before it crashed
hope you get baron
btw
you can completely ignore fatal errors sometimes
I did, it said Baron unlocked before the kaput
That's what I do, but it still inevitably crashes.
I'm going to bring grief to so many loved ones that have family in the arena
Isn't it 'lewdster' ?
❓
Schnauzer is a dog breed
I feel like the implication there is they're calling you a dog
idk bruh
whens multiplayer
Like I didn't even know this, but the dots are super easy to connect there
in a long time
Game isn't even out yet
Game development takes time
couldnt they just duplicate the player spawning in
especially for good games
i dont get how it would be hard
they say that its like 5% of the game
hey! i've been playing this game for a while and was wondering how to access multiplayer?
Do you know anything of game development
servers and stuff
enlighten me then
Mechanically I'm sure the multiplayer is easy, but that's just the start. You have to figure out how you would even do the connection process, match making, if it's peer to peer, IP based, idk much but it's not that simple
Actually I know the insult you guys are talking about, I mistook for a different one
ok so, tell me, how are you gonna make a fair 1v1v1v1 without lag, cause, yk servers are hard to host, specially on physic based games.
hey! i've been playing this game for a while and was wondering how to access multiplayer?
i mean with friends not ffa
You'd also likely have to make some form of anti-cheat if you don't have enough bread to buy brands like easy anticheat
yeah lmao
hey! i've been playing this game for a while and was wondering how to access multiplayer?
not out rn
both pcs have to render the physics since there are NO animations
there is none
there is no multiplayer and #faq
so its almost impossible
Single player can be hosted on local servers (your computer) multiplayer is not and will cost the devs money to have servers running
even with friends it would be hard asf
what about friends only
It's knaue/knausser
HEY HEY HEY HEY
I'd imagine it's easier than a full fledged matchmaking system, but I'd imagine the Half-Sword devs still would have to host some sort of server 🤷
same case, the physics would be running on every moment, and for the game to calculate that and for it to not have any type of input lag, or differences between the players view, it would be pretty hard
Either way, if it was genuinely super easy, they'd have it, but also, again this is a literal demo
id market a feature like that personally for full release
with like 5% of the full game’s content
The official reddit actually responded to a post asking about all the insults and gave the list
then how do other games have multiplayer
have the devs given a general time for the full version? i dont remember if they did or not lol
because they have less complicated physics
HEY HEY HEY HEY
they dont have full physics based matches
by being mostly completed enough to do so?
i play a game similar to this that has multiplayer and it crashes half the time
it desyncs often
servers, and its a different case, because not all games are physic based medieval combats
yeah both sides have to render the complicated physics
Early access is set to release in Q4 2025 according to their FAQ
Keep in mind, if you experience lag, ping issues, it'd likely be exasperated in this game due to the gore system. I can easily imagine seeing multiple problems pop up where some gore ends up different on each clients side. Say you hit somebody, split them in half, but your opponent say lags, and is still alive. Now you have a floating split chest running at you, while they're completely fine on their end.
hey whats that other game, looking for more games similar to half sword
its kinda like beamng multiplayer physics
Already know about we who are about to die so any other suggestions would be great
I had the same happen to me, after I had my axe stuck in a dude's abdomen lol

38 Views. Watch ARA ARA (Oh Dear) and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
goated game
thats if it was relying on mostly the clients side
i dont think that would happen
That list is here too actually
It’s pinned
But
yhea my system starts to drop frames in carnage when bodys get cut in to many pieces lol
cant even imagine how bad it would be with multiple people being connected and having to render all of it on multiple screens
Exanima is physics-based
the game keeps crashing like between 2-8 minutes of loading it up every single time, for the past week or so
anyone else?
Guys what does arrow time mean/do?😞
its just slow mo rn i think
Slow-motion
Ohh ok I thought it was something else lol cause I run out of stamina quicker in it
im on it rn and its been running for like 30-45 mins and no crashes since the new update
It burns through stamina faster and forces you out of it when you don't have enough
no
only ever happened to me in the final challenge
turning off gore entirely fixed it
the slow mo is cool i just personally think it should give us a little more stamina
would be kinda unbalanced then
HOW IS THE DEMO SO DIFFICULT
Probably but maybe just an option in settings then for unlimited slow mo lol
this game needs to make swords stop behaving like lightsabers
you touch them and you are dead
it mightve just installed incorrectly, have you tried deleting and doing a fresh install?
turn the damage down
i should try that
lol
At least they don't act like modern-day lightsabers and deal no damage
Me when I learn how to sword fight in real life 🤑
not yet, im gonna verify integrity first and see what happens
i think the axes are more fun then the swords anyway but that might just be me lol
we need katana
itd be cool but idk how common katanas were in medeival fighting
I would think HS would stay in medieval Europe, no?
would be cool as like a DLC or update in the future but I dont think theyre gonna add it anytime soon
Would this game ever go vr?
prolly not but i think some unique weapons would be cool
yesyes
play blade & sorcery
That's what it seems like to me at least
Nah
Weird pfp
They're pretty fun but I think they lack the precision of the sword
🐱
Odd individual
Damn that was clean
Not my cup of tea honestly good sir
🤷♀️
Very Clean, fast, and precise cut
no never playthat game
the scythe was an actual lightsaber
its ruined
?
1.0 destroyed it
its literally the same as before + more content
yea thats a shit take
enemy AI sucks now, but the campaign was really good
can you still get the scythe in the new update?
you can just revert to an older version if yo uwant
Blasphemous take
yea in abyss
still good but not as OP anymore
its okay now
yhea i figured
you have to put it behind them and then pull towards you that usually cuts them in half
take the knife and rush him
Pick up the dagger and stab into his torso
i do the same thing yea
i hate the thrid one
its so bad
which one is that
Longsword boss isn't too bad though
Drop the knife, raise your hands and fuck him up
the one with the zweihänder?
I take the candle stick, short or long
ya
long
Literally just beat his sword away with your own and step in close
yea hes the most difficult imo
thats if he doesnt split my head up first
the long one is easer to land the spike into people
Oh that's what its called? I thought it was just a great sword
thats easier said than done lmao...
could just be a longsword I dont remember exactly
or greatsword idk
big sword
I've never lost to him arguably he's pretty easy
You’ll be alright
good for you
Thank you
It's big sword that's all that's important rn
Honestly Not too hard (might just be me tho)
He kept knocking me over for like the first twelve tries
I had to switch to HRE for more stamina to not fall over
the bosses where you have no armor tho suck so much, except the peasant boss
I think the only boss I struggled with without armour was the scythe one
Purely because everytime I'd stab him with my pitchfork his scythe still hits me
ive only gotton past him twice which is sooo sad
Once I was praying he'd bleed out on me because I had chopped off his leg but he had chopped off my arm
I just rush him, usually works for me
i kinda miss the playtest because you could beat the shit out of people and break there legs and theyd still get up but now they just give up almost instantly if you hurt them just a little too much
It varies for me
I miss the earlier versions mainly cause it was much easier to control and handle the weapons
Sometimes the NPC I stabbed with a sword will make attempts to stand up
That's just me tho
Whilst other NPCs will give up after I bonk them with a pommel
yhea and kicks now are so nerfed that they're not useful unless they're already on the ground
Shoutout to that one whose arm I broke and he just flailed on me until I put him out of his misery
and once they trip you cant get up for another 30 mins
lmao
I'll never hate on the tripping over
horrible horrible challenge run idea
nah im a hater when it comes to the tripping
Saved me the difficulty of the Baron
naked run where you can't kill a single enemy
hmmm, it still crashes, but interestingly i've managed to narrow it down to only happening when im about to land a meaty right hook on someone
it crashes on the frame of impact when my fist comes in to bonk them
consistently
im glad they changed the lose timer to 30 secs tho lmao when it was 15 seconds you should of just gave up
hmm
maybe a fresh install will work? if not im assuming its a hardware thing
zamn
o i see it
Probably #1047240101152960525
Insane
#1359239086447136839 message it seems my investigative work was right
i was just hitting people with my fists too hard as the baron vs unarmoured peasants 😂
really?!
so the cause of the fatal error is punching too hard?
the baron is like twice the size of them and i turned up the npc damage slightly hahaha
ahhh
I think the game crashes for multiple things though
ive managed to be able to break their arms in 1 punch 😂
atleast you figured it out
yeah defo
I remember back in the playtest it crashed because of too many items I spawned in
probably gonna jinx myself but ive never had the game actually crash
its stuttered but never crashed
I've never had a stutter but it has crashed on me
I had to turn down graphics so it wouldn't crash during the ultimate challenge
zamn
yhea ive also never gotten to the ultimate challenge so ill have to keep that in the back of my head
the AI has way more stamina than the player for some reason
oh yea they have unlimited i think
and life
that willie is having fun
why i got a fatal error
and i got crashed and then i cant join
hello
ive had some weird wepon bugs too
i wish there were mordschlag
Bugs happen so often its became a meme lol
bugs rarely happen for me
guys why do i have fatal error wth i almost got baron
huh I thought the devs fixed the bug
rip
happen from time to time
i never get crashes or bugs
only happened once
dude i went to equip one of my smaller wepons and it carryied me into the air and killed me
well yeah it happened once either
graphics all the way down to low
i cant even join the game now
i have 25hrs on the demo am i cooked
is the big spikey spear supposed to be a Goedeag
ive only had 2 random crashes while playing gauntlet but it saved my prog
makes sense why the fucking commoner boss can handle being pitchforked in the heart 2 times and still can rip my head off by swinging his sword 2mm away from him accidentally
YES
I HATE IT
sword too OP
its a lightsaber fr
i promise the axe in the peasent teir is the best weapon in the game
close second is the long candle holder
fr
yep
am i the only one that full on crashes each time i exit the abyss
maybe
i also hate when im playing the abyse and i get to the commoner boss. its genuinely a crime to have hands
try taking gore down
why do i get taken down into the gulag
i would but it feels like cheating
no way i get deranked to beggar
ok
turning my health up a bit is fiine but not loseing limbs and stuff feels like cheating
yep, that's how it is
holy shit i just hit a fuckin side step 3 on the scythe boss
what do you want to know
we all wonder
on updates
i was just wondering if multiplyaer is going to be added or not
Maybe I'm crazy but I feel like the PC just falls over wayyy easier than the bots. Am I missing some input or is it just fucked like that
not yet anounced as a feature
damn 😔
speirs acc make me cry
yeaah
oh my god u can even break they bones bro
like almost every time i fight a guy with one he runs at me full speed
I js broke a poor man arm
and also your
Word
im not playing until they fix your character falling over for no fucking reason its ridiculous
you can fully smack a fucking guy in the forehead with a mace with nary a wobble but if they walk into you, or you swing your weapon the wrong way you end up on the fucking floor getting your shit pushed in
everything
ah yes this is defo something i see alot
This
its like my character is extremely drunk
just an arm? amateur
Biggest thing with the game for me rn
both arms both legs
I'm actively trying to beat the ultimate challenge but I just fall. the fuck. over. every. fucking. time.
wouldnt stop screaming, understandably
It's the main things that kills me
yep
How do you break them without killing them
and it only happens in that challenge
dont hit their head or body
thats where the important bits are, organs etc
defo not true
word
i kicked straight into the sword he was holding
wow
happens far more there than anywhere else
the Great champion just decapitated me any tips
yep, I can confirm
try spot dodging
use your liver as a brain
First dude?
its like hes got the strength of a knight, i assume theyre stronger or something coz they move in armour like the beggars move in nothing, but coz he has no armour he just falls over
3rd
That fucker
If you are falling often in anything outside of Ultimate Challenge, probably need to work on your balance, that is a user error most often (though there are bugs like the flamingo leg and whatnot that pop up).
Falling in Ultimate Challenge happens more often because the enemies are often much more aggressive due to them having various "advantages" they see they can exploit and heavier since they are uptiered in gear giving them more mass.
counter attack
Here's the deal, the third guy is straight up BS, don't upgrade from peasant, just cheese him with the fork
kind of
Also, all the bosses being huge is not my favorite in general :/
the fork?????
but you get very wobly really quicly
word imma listen to you gng
why the game saying fatal error so much im boutta get baron and it does that
Further! Also! Fuck not having heal on kill in the challenge
yeah thats kinda dumb
theres something else going on there other than just aggressiveness
a guy with a light breastplate and helmet shouldnt be able to walk into you and knock you over, but if you charge him with your shield, hit him in the face with it, but he barely moves and you fall over like you've run into a brick wall, theres something wrong
if you get hit in the arm once you basically just lose
yes
I genuinely believe the AI takes damage differently
not completelly
or i swing a 1H mace, hit the guy and i fall over from the inertia of my swing, wtf is that about
should be the guy i just conked in the bonce on the floor, not me
And to be honest? Even if its not true, there's a problem, because it shouldn't feel like that, even if its not what's happening
is it my pc or is it a game issue cause i crash every single time during the white screen after u win in the abyss
tru
its defo not a skill issue
Maybe the AI stays up better because it has perfect movement, then give the player better balance
there are weird instances where the char just falls over
After many hours it just doesn't seem that the AI is any stronger than you except maybe the bosses, height might play into strength. Not sure on that.
Anything the AI can do, you can do, if not better since you can exploit the system more often by intention than a bot doing it by accident.
You have to take into account the weight of your armor, the weight of your weapon, the position of your feet, the position of the camera (center of mass/lean), and your momentum on where the weight of your weapons or body are going.
AI can calculate all these very well so they know how to resist an attempt to knock them over, while an inexperienced player is easily tossed to the ground with little effort because of their own imbalance.
sometimes when i run away y
I just threw a knifa at an NPC in the ultimate challenge and he dodged it
i just fall over
the fight before last which made me uninstall, a 2H sword user killed me because i sliced into his arm with a falchion, he lowered his weapon and then as i swung again to slice him again, my forearm hit his sword on the downswing and cut my arm off
guy was already dead
i think over 400 hours between the playtest and demo rule me out as "inexperienced"
the falling over bullshit is recent
so you can save your passive aggressive bullshit for when youre not wrong
that is true
body horror
i've had worse
nah i agree, winning gauntlet is alot of rng
This argument is absolute bunk. If the AI can do it perfectly by virtue of being a computer, then it should be adjusted.
Racing games don't put perfect AI in their games and tell players to just install fucking macros to perfect input so they can compete, etc.
We're not doing mario glitch runs for speedrunning, we're trying to get something playable out of this playtest that people can enjoy without being utterly infuriated
which argument exactly?
i'm gonna be completely honest you just have a skill issue
'Anything the AI can do, you can do, if not better since you can exploit the system more often by intention than a bot doing it by accident."
why is the picking up priority on anithing but weapons
also this
youve said inexperienced
Im clearly not, and not had this problem until recently, 0.3 and 0.4 had no issues with balance at all, balance in the sense of willie not being a pisshead falling over nothing constantly
i don't have any issues with tripping over nothing
yeah that is bullshit
I also am not getting this one
I am not being aggressive with you.
I have noticed it's easier to fall too compared to the playtest.
But that does not mean it's impossible to stay up, in fact I find it immensely easy to stay upright after an adjustment period.
But you are welcome to your temper tantrum over it.
no, youre being passive aggressive
i very rarely fell down without some kind of cause before this update
suddenly, i and a lot of other players, as you can see from the feed, are having the same issue
if you cracked it, great, good for you
doesnt mean it isnt an issue if more people than not are having issues with it
whatever you wish to read into it, it's clear you won't entertain the possibility of reasoning why and how it might not be as bad as you perceive
honestly my biggest issue is how inconsistent damage sometimes is
small pokes can kill you instantly sometimes
Mf with a pitchfork came up behind me and stabbed me in the kidney
because the game registers it as like 20 hits
ive seen AI characters literally teetering on the edge of falling getting hit repeatedly with heavy polearms staying on their feet
It's moreso just feedback on playability
I've made it to ultimate, and I'm sure I'll get the baron here soon, these are just doctrinal things that really should be adressed for future released
Or so I think
a player could never do that
⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️
meanwhile the PC literally falls over his own feet when running, never seen an AI do that
You have a huge point
Yeauhp
probably me backing away and swinging idioticly but it just happens
but sure SkIlL iSsUe, whatever bro
WATCH OUT
PC can't even take one hit to the head, straight up, but I can straight up dog an npc in the head repeatedly and they will gyroscope their ass right back up
exactly^
whats the best knight tier weapon
it could be fair but it doesn't FEEL fair , , and i feel like thats why players are mad about it (including myself)
a knight running at you full tilt should not tank a hammer to the head and knock you down by running into you
how do i report people
no im pretty sure a knight running at you full tilt would knock you down
regardless of what youre wearing
the AI can objectively do things you cant, by virtue of being able to do multiple inputs at the same time instantaneously
you have to react
not after a hammer blow to the head, because hed be on the floor
but this update he isnt, he tanks it and continues onwards
i need the mod team yall
that momentum from running stays and if youre within distance with a warhamemr hitting him then i think thats fairgame for him to tackle at your knees
but someone brushes up against you and you fall over
and im guesssing SCAMMING
i think it might be the greatsword this thing cuts like butter
yeah thats dumb
<@&1080390104562016306> apparently someones a bot or something?
its amazing against unarmored enemies but its not very good against other knights
thank youu
the best weapon is the polehammer imo
they still here
yeah im doing brave stands rn
is that even in the knight{s weaponry
yeah
yeah
its not even rare
I remembe
at that point basically any loadout without a shield is a polehammer or poleaxe
Precisely!
Soulslike's hitboxes are typically really screwey but they feel fair enough that they're enjoyable
Platformers have small invisible grace zones for jumping because human beings just can't time platforming very well, and that's been a feature in games since, like, metroid
Chess bots are made to mess up, so that you can get better and learn, or mimic a players skill level
'the AI is super good at moving, and you just have to ... become one with the AI man
' just doesn't fly with me as an argument when we're trying to give feedback for the game
eh i prefer the greatsword ill swap to poleaxe when i fight baron
Please follow the rules. Do not create public witchhunts like this. Create a #modmail ticket and it can be addressed.
thank you im sorry
when the new beta arrived, my previous damage configuration was inverted
We appreciate your concern 🙏
man i love how actual conversations are held here and the mod team isn't a bunch of idiots 🙏🏻
rare occurrence on discord
maybe the "player" is the actual NPC and the "NPC" is the player
its like RTS ai
all they do to up the difficulty in some games is unshackle the ai more and more
at the hardest difficulties the ai can do hundreds if not more clicks per minute for building, orders etc
same principle is here, AI willie can correct himself much much faster than you can
now how about they add ai that trains itself
it would be brutal
i can only imagine an ai that can easily parry, and hit joints
that would suck for the first like 20 hours of playing against it
because it wouldnt have any idea what its doing
yeah
after a few million simulations though it becomes better than the best player
or imagine it learns how to throw and is a menace with it
if it was crowd sourced and learned from the entire playerbase that could be cool
I think a perfect example in game is the spear enemies
why the spear enemies
What if it already does? Who knows ...
mods said it that means its true
they're a menace
yup the ai is self learning
Their tracking is just insanely good compared to ours, largely by virtue of it actually knowing where the hell it is in space unlike poor Willy
the dudes with the pitchfork are ridiculous
yeah
you cant get close to them
oh
id say the pithcfork is the hardest spear enemy
glorb help me
just dodge
yeah literally they have aimbot 😭
-# well i mean they are bots so whatever , ,...
nah i beat them but it takes a bit of work
just bait them into doing a swing then get past the pointy bit
dodging lets you beat them close and personal
It don't always work like dat doe
Their tracking will keep up with dodges absolutely often
exactly so i just wack their fork out the way and try get close
once youre past the spearhead you can just grapple them
dodging in the right moment evades their first strike
most of my swings either fall too short or are too far and i never hit something unless its my arm wrapping around him and hitting him gently in the shoulder
the doging helps more when trying to fist the off
I need the guts to be added back asap
real
gotta see them popping like a snake
and head crushing
word
tru
tru
i miss head crushing so much
I miss being able to steal helmets on the abyss
you still can
but is way harder
yeah but its really hard
i hope once the devs are finished with the core aspects of the game they add more self preservation to the characters
willie is enough
the cartoonish popping was unrealistic and removed for that reason. they will be looking into a more realistic head caving system in the future with EA, along with a physically active internal organ system!
i think if the devs add a more story oriented mode it would be cool if there was a reputation system where if you spare people more often when they surrender your enemies would start to surrender at less damage and leave you alone when you surrender more often
true
cool
can you hit things with thrown items?
ooh
it would be nice where if you spared others more often or gave them breathing room to get up they would do the same back to you
yes! its one of my favourite pasttimes
would be cool if you could ally with those you spare
you can even catch it like you're playing Mordhau
i feel cruel abusing the moment where willie is down but they're relentless when i'm down so it just feels like it has to be done
do you think I can survive that?
its not about the money, Willie.

Watch its about sending a message. and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
i recall a video of someone tossing an axe and it bouncing back and hitting them square in the chest
you did not have to that to him while he was on the ground
why does my halfsword keep crashing on the last level?
blood / gore is enabled?
set all graphics to low and turn off blood
i disable it at the last level because it fatal error'd each time
The leg lop is pretty standard for me actually because Veteran is often unarmored in the thighs or shin.
Besides... I've done far, far worse...
yeah keeps happening to me just happened before the last boss as well so im tweaking
thanks boys ill try it out
at least you didnt go for the family jewels in that clip
(me and you like to test out the dismemberment system)
Oh and the other thing I wanted to mention is some better draw cut/hooking detection would be very nice
i wonder if there'll be crowds around the fence like how some art of the game was presented
Not that time, no
Often I find my sword dragging across unarmored necks only to... Bounce off their incredibly durable Adams apples idk?
it probably wouldnt be too taxing on performance if they used preset animations
Yes
make sure it cuts deep
what view point do yall play in cause i only play in first person
the barbute in question:
Oh my God it would be really cool if the bosses watched you
first person is nigh unplayable for me tbh
i prefer to save dismemberment for the commoner boss
A draw cut Wentworth, not a chop
You ever fought in armor?
It's like that
first person view
Checks out tbh
or atleast - i think its called a barbute i don't remember
If they have any kind of neck protection like gambeson or that chain stuff, it can make it really difficult.
It's fickle, maybe try going slower and more deliberate instead of stronger? That usually works for me.
JK that's pretty bad
i mean you can execute pretty quickly with a neck cut but sometimes you gotta leave it for longer
what the
he wear da barbute
ultimate challenge is done only commoner armour and no weapon???
im not losing all my progress
you fight people to get the armor
and they patched losing progress at the final challenge
so its like the abyss?
you won't be sent back to beginning. Only have to redo the UC fight
also there is knife in the middle
oh there is ??
dangit
i usually fight with fists to get the weapon of the first guy
smoove off
the black doublet looks so cool
bro sleeping
zzzzz
i just rammed into someone with an armet and he fell over
Guys I'm scared, this guy in the green is still charging at me full speed and attacking
bro thinks hes atomic samurai
anyone else ever use the Ox Guard?
it's literally my favourite stance for shield users, as you can reliably fient left and cut right.
Okay this is on me for not better defining what I was saying: if my sword is on my opponents neck, when we're in close they have no armor, if I pull on it it should cut their throat.

Ik I just copy pasted this but I wanted the reply really bad don't bite me
@worn heron you just can use swords and some medieval weapons, not a gun bro
ultimate challenge is kinda sad
The discord reply feature I mean
"have mercy on m-" gets sent to hell
I LOVE THE OX GUARD
idk. Sometimes if there's armor in the way somewhere it fucks up the cut.
Like the corner of a helmet or something, prevents the blade from going where you might want it to go (or might just bug it out slightly enough)
like a sawing motion?
LMAO thats a great response to that pic
slice cuts are possible, they're just hard to pull off.
they rely on the user's body weight (aka moving left or right whilst holding your stance) in order to be effective.
Yes that's what a draw cut is, but not back and forth
What should lock on strength be? Should I have it on at all?
personal preference tbh. depends how strong you like it! i like to disable lockon for stabbing, and reenable it for normal combat
Well I suppose what I wish is that they weren't, that is to say not dependent on body weight
Solid advice here
he's just standing there..
not IRL, they're brutally effective in the lowest tiers, but once opponents start using gambesons they become worse and worse, which makes sense in every context outside of the standard HEMA fight.
I did mention unarmored necks cuts originally but I think you tuned in after that
is there a reason why hes really shakey
period accurate methamphetamines
Tbh, hardest boss, hands down
Everyone else is a cakewalk
this is the first throw i think ive landed
(with that tiers gear anyway)
yup, again, they work best in the Militia tier, but they get phased out quickly afterwards, as almost every opponent has a maille collar.
Flick cuts work best after that point up until you start seeing bevors, then beyond that you just want to commit to swings.
fork strat did not work
3rd boss swing wildly at the head if you get hit critically surrender do a single duel and repeat
ight ight
I just lost my run to a glitch
how do i reset my gauntlet progress??...
Elaborate?
Like, I wanna restart from the begginign again
i cant complete the final one because my pc cant run all the enemies
and also it keeps crashing
like 24\7
win or eliminate savefile
is there any specific way to play as the baron?
where do i locate the savefile?
iknow that
somewhere in tehr
xD
like where do i look?
cus its just folder after folder
im not seeing anything i would recognize as a savefile
I JUST KICKED THIS MAN INTO A PLANCON!!! 😮

Watch Kicked Into A PLANCON A PICOT!!! and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
Fun fact: it's possible to get on the balcony of the arena, it would be cool if we had a narrow map
i would LOVE a technical narrow map
@abstract sapphire just dont know how to do an screenshot
how come we cant play the highest lvl in free mode
bro, it's like saying I want 10 gold bars for 1 dollar.
you cant bro
the game can't be that easy
Rank down and fight him as a peasant, you honestly have better weapons
i just cut his head off with a hoe
send it here #photography📷
i want to see that
ah tis too late for that i didnt take a screenshot of it
ok
you can press C and X when you want to keep some screenshots
@lofty bough you literally cooked with that meme
never managed to parry with the knife but i guess i was locked in this time
2 parrys and 1 half parry
in a row
The enemy will probably take that very personally.
Thanks.
you´re welcome
congratulations
legitimately tbe most accomplished ive ever felt in a game
that was like a 20 minute match
thought it was a super clean decap
im shocked i didnt crash
how you can make it appear in the main place
what
modding
you can spawn npcs with some mods for half sword
how
I love the Falchy Walchy
you have some links?
s
why tf do you fall over so easily
your character is nervous because they are fighting scary dudes
well this is one of the mods I use sometimes, it needs to be updated though https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/26?tab=files
npc spawning works still though, N to spawn them
they shouldve jah made the champion for the knight class the dude on the cover of the actual grete champion art
kinda cool how the devs thought to add willies head to be cut almost in half
feel bad for him tho 😭
reminds me of pennywise or sm
yeah
i think they are going to improve upon the gore in future and make it even better
our own little comedian ❤️
i would say this is better than the candelabra
its not super big and heavy
so its quicker
Yah, I did I made Baron turned even taller
and if aimed right it can consistently break necks
for me the rmb for this weapon is very buggy
i never use the rmb for it
but both of the shovels are kinda op
especially if the other fighters are stuck with silly small hammers
true
lmfao just tko'd willie with the flat of a greatsword
how do i play the mode of where theres basically infinite enemies that come towards you
do you mean the abyss
no
its like
wait
actually
no i meant something else
its like
the fences are removed
ultimate challenge?
go through the gauntlet
K
To everyone saying that the axes bounce off when gore and damage are low, I call that a skill issue
First medium gore - second no gore
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 
You can get full on decapitation's on gruesome.
Please tell me that was intentional
I'm proving a point to the whiners lol
Oh I know, but I didn't know if you were testing it out for the first time or not.
Nah been here for quite some time
I actually wasn't sure if you could do more than just slice off the occasional hand or leg on gruesome at first tbh.
The latin I had prepped for pictures I was gonna send to the photography chat had "C*m" in it so now I gotta wait 30 more minutes 😭
anatomy of a Willie
If you get a perfect overhead with a greatsword, you can cut someone completely in half.
Vertically!
i just about maanged to do that with the axe once, sans the head
usually normal grotesque settings
Fair enough, I like the max gore for easier dismemberment.
das pissundshittenhosen
excuse the music but this is pretty funny
GRETE CHAMPION IS TOO OP
cant wait for literal shit in half sword!
sometimes it drops
ah it just dropped
👍
if i leave the game does gauntlet progress save?
yes
thanks 🙂
Bathory + Halfsword = *P e r f e c t i o n *
Is there an faq chat.
What you're Frequently Asked Question? 👁️👃👁️
My willie keeps trying to crip walk...

Willie is a blud, bro, get him to stop
the thing is he sucks at it 😭
As I said, he's a blood, blud. Get him to stop before he gets shot
I get this photo of him and he thinks he's the biggest gangster in the land
You have to turn blood off too, all of it on zero
can you fry eggs on top of mount everest?
Could you even light a fire at the top of of Everest?
I cant find Arctic Egg quotes to respond to this with 😔
