[tough yew]

did you get a fatal error while fighting in the ultimate challenge?

if so disable gore

[sleek dragon]

if by ultimate you mean a man in a helmet with an axe then yes (if I turn off the blood it is -90% of the pleasure from the game

[tough yew]

ah that's the first boss.. well it could be because of the optimization being really off in the game as the devs haven't really focused that much into it

[wispy galleon]

i suck in this game

[coarse jolt]

Practice

[sleek dragon]

Well at least the hardcore mode is shocked as the harddock ash throws an error

[coarse jolt]

The dummy is actually a really good way to get acquainted with the current weapon you're using

A lot of people forego the dummy altogether; it does have its uses

[slender hull]

this is why ultimate challenge is shit

4 days trying to beat it and it's either fatal errors or stuff like this

[worn heron]

he's hitting the whip

[tough yew]

disable da gore

[slender hull]

but that's like 60% of the game D :

[tough yew]

but its the thing that's gate keeping you from success

[slender hull]

time to jaime lannister this shit i guess

for some reaso nhaving my arm like this also gives me a 300% speed boost

[wide blaze]

Trying to play half sword on my phone is hard

[coarse jolt]

On a phone?

[wide blaze]

Yes, through steam link

Can move the sword but can't walk or press g

[sleek dragon]

when you turn on this song, it foreshadows skill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv3jkkBPdQw

[coarse jolt]

Vom tag to oberhau or something idk

[sleek dragon]

lol

[vapid hull]

I like it when the swipes are clean

[slender hull]

just died to a bug again
fuck this im maxxing the damage values

[slender hull]

if i have to turn off the gore i'd rather skip this entire section lol

[fervent reef]

boss 1 is so difficult

[light stirrup]

The only parry I know how to use against long swords TvT

[past turret]

is it normal that i am nacked with my cheeks out?

[rancid kelp]

is the final boss meant to make people ragequit

[fervent reef]

the first one?

YEA

[solemn holly]

the first boss is the easiest

just grab the knife on the ground

[fervent reef]

its not the easiest

[light stirrup]

Or the candle holder

[fervent reef]

since that axe 1 taps u

[solemn holly]

so does every other weapon in the game

[sturdy grove]

i dont get it. how do you delete your saved progress?

can some1 help

[light monolith]

You vs the guy she told u not to worry about

[sturdy grove]

pls

[light monolith]

deadass how do you swing that shit over ur head so accurately?

[sturdy grove]

bro help me please

[edgy pewter]

if you reinstall it resets your progress

[solemn holly]

go into your local files, find HalfSwordUE5, go into saved, go into savegames, then delete guantletprogress.sav

[wind lion]

my game has been saying fatal error then crashing is there something specific im doing wrong

[sturdy grove]

thank you

[solemn holly]

this is happening to everyone unfortunately, disabling gore, lowering blood, and switching to dx11 can help

[wind lion]

okay thank you friend

[light monolith]

why is it such a big deal bro T-T

[sturdy grove]

i wanna start over

[little verge]

Blood is the culprit disabling it is the best fix.

[vapid hull]

Intuition I guessss

I play the billhook a lot

[light monolith]

yeah but how do u switch hands

like that ofc

ik its x

aw man it's not embedding

my poor clip

can someone that's a higher level post that for me kthx

[stable flare]

i just had the most wild bug happen...😭 i got hit in the torso and three of my torsos spawned on the ground under me💀

[gray walrus]

I have a question: I noticed that if you press alt and set ur sword at a certain distance and then disengage the alt key, from there on everytime u press alt it will do an "auto-stab" always at the same distance as the previous one, is this by design? I found this way of stabbing much more useful and precise because it's basically automated and less clunky than double mouse click

[light monolith]

I hit such a mean left hook the game crashed

[vapid hull]

Just time when you swapsies

[light monolith]

oh that it lol?

[vapid hull]

It might be harder, i dunno

I’m bad at explaining, but thats how my mind thinks it

[light monolith]

good enough :/

thanks 🙂

[marsh remnant]

really salty about the 'ultimate challenge' right now

[vital egret]

when i beat the game is there a way to reset my progress? ive tried dying, deleting files everything

[marsh remnant]

man that's the game mode where you really feel all of the jank

[solemn holly]

@vital egret

[vital egret]

your awesome

[light monolith]

why slash when you can shatter bones

[slender hull]

finally

[split pulsar]

give me a dev to yell at.

right now.

because why the fuck.

at the LAST stage before baron.

did i TRIP AND FALL.

ON AIR.

TRYING TO GRAB ARMOR.

AND GET FUCKING KILLED

[tough yew]

this is what a willy has to go through everyday

truly saddening

[young ledge]

add footsteps to the abyss

[little verge]

Were you aware of your surroundings and how close enemies are?

[young ledge]

Tired of losing my runs because I am chased by some fucking ninja

[little verge]

https://tenor.com/view/nacho-shirtless-sup-whatsup-gif-12876097595179308367

[quasi gale]

Gotta aim ya hands when you grab something or you gonna have bad Willie balance

[slender hull]

The new Gold

[wild citrus]

my best run in the Abyss ended because I got backshot-jumpscared by a willie with a plancon

[fervent reef]

whats the best faction to use

[wild citrus]

it was militia tier too

[wild citrus]

honestly depends. England is a good default (less damage taken) but you can also use HRE (faster stamina regen)

[little verge]

Depends on your playstyle. I use HRE because I use stamina allot.

[wild citrus]

faster stamina regen also helps if you use slow-mo a lot

[fervent reef]

slow mo?

[wild citrus]

F

[vital egret]

is there any diffrent way? i do not have a saved file for some reason

[tough yew]

i find england to be the best imo

tho in later runs i would prolly use hre because i like their coat of arms

[solemn holly]

if you have a HalfSwordUE5 folder in your local appdata folder (not your steam folder), delete that, uninstall the game via steam, and reinstall it

[wild citrus]

I got to ultimate challenge using HRE

arrow time helps a LOT

[split pulsar]

i was, like i grabbed armor and for some UNKNOWN reason my character did a fucking facepalm into the ground on nothing

[vital egret]

i will give it a look, thanks again

[split pulsar]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

alright im satisfied

[little verge]

FYI we are running into a new but uncommon bug where the HalfSwordUE5 folder is not poipulating properly.

[wild citrus]

abyss, imo, is the hardest in the first 3 tiers but gets a bit easier once you kill the commoner boss and pick up his greatsword

then you just have to not get jumpscared

[little verge]

Ah I see. Yes there are some locomotion issues with grabbing in the latest build. Best work around for now is to grab things at an angle. Do not face what you want to pick up stand to the side of it.

[solemn holly]

welp

[mossy orbit]

this game is really fun but ngl I'm so bad at it 😭

[slender hull]

finally got to baron

do i lose the rank if i die

ah fuck, just switching to free mode made me lose it, rip

guess I beat the game

[tough yew]

you should have the rank if you go to freemode

[light monolith]

it happened again

i crashed from a left hook

[split pulsar]

i almost did

but i grabbed something and my character said "well, i guess its time to die"

[slender hull]

i cant count the amount of times my arm twisted for no reason in ultimate challenge
it is the ultimate bs

[stone moon]

god it gets so laggy past level 6

[still edge]

hope one day we can change keybind 🥲

[prisma hound]

when Full Sword

[wispy galleon]

when Half Sword 2

[still edge]

when half sword : the trilogy

[tough yew]

prequel

[still edge]

half sword : the return

[mossy orbit]

no sword

[prisma hound]

what if Quarter Sword

[still edge]

half knife

[tough yew]

little punch on the end felt cool

[minor veldt]

Same bro

[prisma hound]

λ

[fallow roost]

Has anyone noticed they nerfed the Training dummy? It no longer puts up a good fight and 10/10 times I win.

[vapid hull]

Woaaah the billhook looks so weird with high fov wudduhheckkk

[minor veldt]

I like seeing being able to see the head of it when it's behind me

[prisma hound]

billhook gang or plançon gang?

[wild citrus]

I've been learning to use T4 spear lately

[minor veldt]

You tell me

[prisma hound]

does any boss have a billhook?

[minor veldt]

Holy graphics bro, is that max settings?

[tough yew]

It's epic paired with a reshade

[hollow crypt]

As two handed sword user, how do y’all cope with getting obliterated when we go to your left?

Like are y’all just cooked without armor?

It’s so devastating

[worn heron]

Is this on dx11 or 12 ?

[hollow crypt]

Hell that’s my weakness when I try learn polearm

[tough yew]

dx 12

[prisma hound]

ngl, its starting to feel like half sword is just LiveLeak: The Game

[lapis palm]

I like how its starts with some technique and ends with you just sawing thru half of his head

[tough yew]

kinda how fights back then end up

[prisma hound]

when they gonna let us break the necks of willies with our bare hands

[static pulsar]

How do I disable external app audio being recorded in GeForce shadow play

Because I got this sick clip of a beaheading but my boyfriend was on call complaining about me and it recorded that tooo

[past cedar]

can we add a feature where shields break, im generally so tired of having to fight a human shield or a shield that covers the majority of a body in the ultimate challenge with a shitty short sword, like bro i tried to do something and my arm gets broken or my guy falls over

[livid cave]

how does your game run that smooth with them graphics while recording

[charred moth]

tossed him over the first fence a lil hard

[prisma hound]

now he got the brain damage

[tough yew]

have a good rig i guess

[warped moth]

What yall opinion on making a server strictly for the peasant class

[snow gulch]

i wonder if they'll be giving us another update or if this is it till EA?

[prisma hound]

EA gonna buy Half Sword!?!?!?!

[zenith sparrow]

Oh god

[charred moth]

hehehehe

[zenith sparrow]

Don't even joke

[charred moth]

baseball bat

[zenith sparrow]

Why is your Willie so big?

[tough yew]

we're gonna be waiting for early access

[snow gulch]

hopefully they fix most of these problems like character stability

[zenith sparrow]

I love the username, personally I like to lift them by the ankles and dash them against the nearest hard surface

Ahem

[tough yew]

we shall see

[zenith sparrow]

Anyhow

[snow gulch]

ah, the lift them by the ankles and dash them against the nearest hard surface division of baby killers, glad to see another here

[zenith sparrow]

One issue I hate is being cut in half as soon as a blade, even if an axehead touches me

[tough yew]

folks we're gonna get a progress presentation on q2 of this year, so between may and june

[prisma hound]

love when the axe touches an arm and immediately cuts it off

[vagrant totem]

Multiplayer is gonna make this game blow up i swear

its gonna be huge

[prisma hound]

when trickshot compilation for half sword

[snow gulch]

it might also be cause of max gore but yeah i've noticed that happens more often compared to playtest in my experience

[tough yew]

this games getting local multiplayer which should be good enough

[vagrant totem]

may i never find you in ranked mode, ur sick at this game

[vagrant totem]

nah online multi would hit different cmon.

imagine a little ranked system you could get into

oooo it would be great

[snow gulch]

yeah when you're playing on 20 FPS and get hit by an invisible blade 😭

[prisma hound]

half sword battle royale

[vagrant totem]

paycheck diff

[tough yew]

i would love to see online multiplayer but that's a whole other can of worms that the devs themselves aren't going for

[vagrant totem]

but fr these kinda ragdoll like fighting game are gold for online play

[odd kiln]

imagine the server issues and desync because its a fully physics based game

[snow gulch]

no it'd just be super difficult to pull off in general cause two players have to process physics and then ping would mess with it more

[twilit depot]

It works on the enemies too

The flipside of that is long weapons having reasonable advantages

[vagrant totem]

maybe youre right, maybe its a pipe dream but

[snow gulch]

then it'd be really unbalanced towards polearms just like IRL

[vagrant totem]

it would blow up the game

[twilit depot]

Like, of course I stab you in the femoral artery every time

[snow gulch]

its already pretty blown up lol

[vagrant totem]

???? untrue, people just knock the polearm and once youre in their fked

[odd kiln]

I mean yea I dont think theres anyone that doesnt want multiplayer, its just unlikely to happen

[snow gulch]

have you SEEN what some people can do with pole arms?

actually crazy

[muted owl]

hack tooey on that thang..

[vagrant totem]

polearms are not good for 1 on 1 fighting my friend

[twilit depot]

I've seen it

[odd kiln]

and Id rather they focus on making a solid single player game than focus on getting multiplayer to work and sacrificing other plans for it

[twilit depot]

I've also seen what happens when I kick them on the ground

[prisma hound]

what if polearm length sword

[twilit depot]

I think the funniest bug in the game

By far

Is that the bone breaking sound effect isn't muted like the others

[worn pond]

And hence the greatsword was born

[twilit depot]

I'll have a podcast on in the background

Then SNAP

What I need is the button that lets me shake blood off my sword

[somber sinew]

on everything i love i hope this boss burns in the deepest pits of hell

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kcsBB9ZDSMKLA9lSs?invite=cr-MSx2NXAsMjEwNDk5NTMw

[orchid nest]

https://tenor.com/view/epic-embed-fail-ryan-gosling-cereal-embed-failure-laugh-at-this-user-gif-20627924

[twilit depot]

Let him set up the swing and he outreaches every weapon on commoner

[prisma hound]

what if we gave willie hair

[somber sinew]

he swings unreasonably fast

[night parrot]

How could you say something so horrible

[somber sinew]

the only time i beat him is when i had that spear thing

because i forgot to switch to commoner

[fluid bloom]

[fluid bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/viralhog-kung-fu-bear-ninja-stick-gif-11716259

Lemme do this

[jaunty musk]

target lock in this game so goofy, i died multiple times because of it, is there a way to switch targets? for some reason the game thinks i really need to choose the furthest target with no option to change that

[jagged stream]

are spears and polearms the same length

[lapis palm]

Similar i think

[quasi gale]

didnt know u could cut their helmets in half

[fluid bloom]

Who Killed Willy?!

[I threw the sword as I often do after a win, it embedded itself in his trachea. From that exact spot too. He was already on teh ground, dying]

[worn heron]

the poleaxes have two variable lengths, in the files they are labelled as "poleax_long" and "poleax_short". When choosing poleaxes, it will randomly select one of these predefined lengths, and swap in different heads

[jagged stream]

so its a gamble?

[fluid bloom]

I mean all weapon selection is rn

[jagged stream]

oh mky

[worn heron]

sorta? Pretty much all weapons have interchangable grips and such, but Early Access plans for more things like the making of custom weapons.

when are plumes being added to the game??

[tender quest]

EA hopefully

[grizzled river]

can i choose weapons and armor etc or i gotta spam random for something good? Also id LOVE to start at peasant(or ur last unlocked) and idgaf its a skill issue

[lucid moon]

im so hoping that at some point we’ll be able to pick between different player models and stuff. the customization is the thing i look forward to most (and new maps)

[cerulean blade]

man it is so fucking frustrating to finally get far in the baron fight to just getting a fatal error

[sly apex]

I Know

I'm trying to make a video and it won't let me restart

[worn heron]

Pressing z will turn off lock on. I tend to toggle it off when I go for stabs- you can aim them more precise.

Toggling it off and on can help center it in on the proper enemy

[ruby nymph]

What modes can you play on the free demo mode?

[worn heron]

there is one in game currently! More should come tho..

[worn heron]

all of the normal ones!

any that appear in the gauntlet appear in free mode as well

[lapis palm]

do you actualy play on cinematic graphics

[light pike]

no one plays on cinematic its just for photos

[lapis palm]

i mean someones gotta have that good pc

[worn heron]

I play on DX12 epic, which is pretty fancy— but it lags a bit with group fights

[lapis palm]

same for me

[worn heron]

Dx12 applies Lumens and graphical shaders, specifically at the High graphics setting and above

[jaunty musk]

why is there no hotkey to change targets like in dark souls.......

[light pike]

dx12 seems to run smoother for me for some reason

[worn heron]

as long as your graphics card is dx12 supported, it may be able to handle it

[cerulean blade]

and again!!! man whyy, i can even see the game progressing normally after it???

[worn heron]

game is still in development it is just a demo after all

[ruby nymph]

Ever time i try gauntlet it wont let me pick my faction

I can only change the height of ny character

[lapis palm]

i f-ed up gauntled mod when i was using trainer

[worn heron]

I get the frustration— the best fix we have rn is temporary, but it seems to help. In the Ultimate Challenge, lowering/disabling blood and gore seems to stop crashing significantly. It's a temp fix but the best we got atm.

[lapis palm]

so its just stuck for me

[cerulean blade]

oh okay thanks for that info, will try

[worn heron]

You are able to pick a faction at Militia stage and above! (4th tier)

[ruby nymph]

How do i get to militia stage?

[worn heron]

bonk

[jaunty musk]

fair, but it's such a goated feature, i hope devs add that soon

[worn heron]

Gotta climb the ranks and beat the commoner boss

[lapis palm]

it would be cool ngl

[ruby nymph]

Is there a way I can play gauntlet mode without picking a faction?

[wispy fulcrum]

how do i disable all the little things my computer does to make working more efficient bc i think i have everything set up so that theres stuff like not being able to move the mouse while typing

[idle crane]

@vapid hull Sorry for phantom ping. Not the best billhoook player but you can get the concept
-# Definitely didnt accidentally doxx myself

[vapid hull]

Gwuh

[light pike]

i hope they add actual difficulty modes for the gauntlet

cuz like losing all your progress because of one mistake is so difficult

[worn heron]

[vapid hull]

The arms feel so flopperrr

[idle crane]

[worn heron]

once you get to militia and you're able to pick a faction— each one gives specific benefits; it's not permanent, if you die with that character, your progress resets

[stone moon]

cant get through the final challenge without crashing

[worn heron]

I like the faster dodge one personally

[worn heron]

@stone moon common issue ATM, check this message

THX

[rich mortar]

This was awesome, how do you quick step like that?

[surreal leaf]

just hold shift

while moving

it makes you move alot faster

[sleek gull]

Holding Shift lowers your stance, and lets you move faster. It is at a cost of stamina.

[rich mortar]

sick, alright, i'll give it a go next time i'm on!!

[shrewd locust]

am i the only one who crashes every 15 mins? i need help

[ruby nymph]

how do i pick stff up so easily?

[sleek gull]

If you are holding a weapon in your right hand, press Q to pick up with your left hand

If you have nothing in your right hand. Press E to pick it up with your right hand.

[ruby nymph]

while cruching right

[shrewd locust]

yo how do i fix fatal error?

[sleek gull]

You don't really need to crouch

[shrewd locust]

if you are extra armored then yes

[ruby nymph]

just look down and press e

[shrewd locust]

yes

or q

[ruby nymph]

ok

thx

[still aspen]

how to kick? i dont see it in the key binds

[sleek gull]

Space Bar

[shrewd locust]

yo how do i fix fatal error

[sleek gull]

That I can't help with. I do not get fatal errors

[shrewd locust]

can i do tickets?

[worldly ivy]

is there away to play multiplayer, mods anything or nah?

[sleek gull]

I don't seem to have to crouch.

[sleek gull]

There is a mod where you can do local split screen I think. but thats as much as I know.

[shrewd locust]

idk when i was playing the challenge i had to

[drifting knot]

anyone elses refusing to launch?

[rich yew]

reduce blood see if it helps; if not reduce gore setting

[shrewd locust]

that would be like getting all the fun out

but

[supple grotto]

what are laws for hunting WIllies? like seasons, minimum calliber and size

[soft osprey]

At what point

[shrewd locust]

chalenge

[soft osprey]

Turn down/off blood

Unfortunately there’s no real fix currently

[shrewd locust]

dangw thats boring

[soft osprey]

Just bandaids

[shrewd locust]

i hope yall fix it soon

[soft osprey]

I will

As the head dev

And owner of halfsword games

[storm shale]

huh? kind of lack luster clips

[sleek gull]

B sides

[storm shale]

at least the backwards stab one is good

[rich mortar]

any tips on the 3rd boss? He just splits me in half every time :-(

[glass forge]

play as a peasant with pitchfork instead of commoner

[soft osprey]

Avoid getting split in half, and hit him with your weapon

[shrewd locust]

yall to get golden knigth back i have to do all the process again?

sorry im slow

[rich mortar]

I'm like a songbird in silence, unable to release what's inside (until i hit lvl 2)

[soft osprey]

You get 3-6 xp for one message every 60 seconds. Going by that it takes about 2 hours of chatting

You can check your progress in #stat-rank-check using the /rank Willie bot command

Interesting

[strange wasp]

tryna guard with a longsword, why does my guy move his hand when an enemy gets close?

i wanna get the hang of controlling longsword but like its moving on its own

[solemn holly]

probably the autoparry system kicking in

[strange wasp]

autoparry?

🤮

im not playing mortal kombat

im trying to do goofy guards then it just moves my sword completly off of where im holding it

let me do my thing

[still aspen]

why sometimes when dying i lose a little bit of rank but sometimes i get banished to the shadow realm and possibly lose character if i die there too. What determines which happens?

[spice holly]

hey, do you know where to find it?

[sleek gull]

maybe nexus

[soft osprey]

Knocked out vs dead

[strange wasp]

Surrendering/Getting knocked out = lose points
Death = Abyss

[muted owl]

bro stabbed himself

[main wigeon]

is getting a fatal error just an inevitability of the ultimate challenge or what

[soft osprey]

Yes

Turn down/off blood

No real fix currently

Just bandaid solutions

[rich mortar]

Does anyone ever feel like the tracking is slighlty off centre sometimes? Or is this a skill isue on my part

[north pulsar]

[hard plank]

[grim latch]

i need awnser

[civic crane]

Hey can anyone tell me if the game has been fixed where it doesnt crash in the last level?

I've been waiting for ages to be able to complete it

[glass forge]

if you turn off blood/gore it maybe won't crash

[civic crane]

I havent tried turning off completely, but ive tried on slightly lower and it still crashes. The game doesn't motivate me much to play with it fully off but maybe ill try thank you!

[glass forge]

i have some blood to see if i damaged the enemies and it didnt crash so far so maybe you can find a sweet spot too

[grave grove]

i did a run on grewsome and it didnt crash, im 100% sure its a conditional thing

[glass forge]

probably

[grave grove]

as in if sertain numbers are being checked, and they are at a specific value, then it says NUH UH WE CANT DEVIDE BY ZERO?

[glass forge]

or you might have a better pc

[grave grove]

cause that is what happened to a game i coded on scratch

[glass forge]

but idk

[grave grove]

:| its good but the people with better specs crash more than i do, and mine is about 6-7 years old i think?

[grave grove]

i got it in covid im pretty sure

[grave grove]

i got killed by something like that, when the game said he died, his spear glitched out and like, at max force it crashed into my chest and killed me lol

[glass forge]

i got killed by a flying helmet at least twice

[grave grove]

have you died by explosion?

[glass forge]

ok maybe not killed but i fell and then got killed

[grave grove]

i have, twice

[glass forge]

not yet i think

[grave grove]

aparently if some weird stuff happends, and you touch a glitched out spear or sword, your body part takes inf damage i think and just explodes

[dire radish]

i wanna rail willy so bad

[old current]

Hey guys, I just got to the ultimate challenge segment of the gauntlet and died but it didnt reset me all the way down the tiers, is it a checkpoint?

[glass forge]

i think so

[odd kiln]

yes

you can die as many times as you want in the final challenge

[grave grove]

cause i got hit with a spear that did not look right, and my arm fell off (like the model, it didnt get cut off) and when the arm hit the ground it flew off the map and draged me with it

[old current]

OMG THATS AMAZING, THANKS!

[round iron]

How do I pick up a weapon from the ground?

[odd kiln]

E

and crouch

[round iron]

thanks

[high crane]

Is it just me or is the rondel just completely useless.. it doesn’t even stab through armor like it can in real life, and it sure as shit doesn’t cut like a dagger.. just feels odd to give such a useless sidearm to the higher level willies

[upper wigeon]

i've been experimenting with grappling with right hand after closing the distance or landing a strike and then thrusting with it in left hand with inconsistant success. There's probably some learning room there

[upper wigeon]

q also pick up w/ left hand. Also that's just starts the animation so you want to time it so your hand reaches the ground when and where the item is if that makes sense

otherwise it's easy to trip or miss the pickup

[high crane]

Yeaaah, I like stabbing! It’s fun and satisfying to do! But man that dagger leaves a lot to be desired for stabbing..

[gilded shadow]

so whats the point of the abyss after dying?

[upper wigeon]

you get a second chance if you beat the boss

[high crane]

It brings you back and gives you your place in the gauntlet

[gilded shadow]

ah, alr alr thx

[grave grove]

he did that to himself :P

i didnt have to hit him

[high crane]

Also if you are wounded your characters hand might be too busy clutching a wound or having their hand caught on your thigh, try aiming with your left and right mouse and click q or e respectively so your hand is near the handle of the weapon.

[gilded shadow]

"i swear officer, it wasn't me"

[grave grove]

(he kicked with the long candle one and it thrusted itself into his head, he sliped and droped it them it hit him again cause the first one cant do damage, hilarous)

[gilded shadow]

[shrewd locust]

[void bluff]

guys im just saying if you 2 hand the 1 handed axe its super deadly

[glass forge]

true

[void bluff]

the impact of a mace

the speed of a sword

and the dismemberment of an axe

only downside is its like 3 inches long

[minor veldt]

They have to fix these bugs man

The only way I lose is because my character is braindead and can't swap stances

Holds it at a physically impossible angle and will not correct it unless I drop my weapon and pick it back up

And even then trying to pick up a weapon is a gamble because this guy is like a early-stage primate trying to figure out how to use his thumbs

[grave grove]

fun way to hide the disapearing bodies

where is my image

ther

[minor veldt]

Yet again holding weapons and picking them up has just cost me a run

Darkest Dungeon is more forgiving than this game

[void bluff]

I need graphics settings below low

[grave grove]

why does it still move?

[frail olive]

praying they add multiplayer broo would be so peak

and new environments

[raw finch]

my game keeps crashing at the ultimate challenge, specifically on the 4th wave

how doi make it stop crashing

[snow gulch]

seems like there might be a new environment with that #work-in-progress post

a bridge fight which im 100% down for that'll be great

[frail olive]

i saww its gonna be so peak

[snow gulch]

fr

[frail olive]

oh my gosh

imagine doing that gamemode against ur friend

[snow gulch]

it'll be so cool to hit someone with a one hit KO strike and they fall off

[grave grove]

too bad blunt physics is debuffed heavily lol

[snow gulch]

nah you can still hit one hit shots

[grave grove]

cant wait till they fix the blunt physics

[cinder stone]

I can barely wait for when somebody cooks up a mortal kombat mod lol

That pit seems just perfect

[grave grove]

correct, but with armor it disapears like a 50/50

[snow gulch]

funny how candlestick is probably the best blunt though lol

[cinder stone]

(from the first MK)

[mighty tulip]

how do i restart my character in the most recent demo

it wont send me to the pits when i lose only minus rank points by 1

im bored

[grave grove]

BLOOD RUSH

[glass forge]

the polearms are a pretty strong contenders especially when used by ai

[grave grove]

I HIT 6 INSTA KILL HEADSHOTS

WITH LONG SEAR (the one that has a a hook at the end)

ima see how mutch blood rush i can do

[solemn holly]

if you haven't reached the final tier, just die in the abyss

if you have reached the final tier, you have to delete your HalfSwordUE5 folder in local appdata and re-install the game

[grave grove]

died instantly because they havent patched the bug where spears go through armor

i got stabbed cause it went into the armor, then it phased down and sliced me

[snow gulch]

polearms are good yeah but candlestick just completely demolishes people

wonder what would happen against armored opponents

[minor veldt]

The candelabra is too tricky swing around fully though

If you use a billhook you get the full range of motion

Or any polearm for that matter

[glass forge]

i can't count how many times i got ko'd by the back half of a billhook

[glass forge]

still better than the hoe

[craggy ivy]

this has literally nothing to do with half sword but i just lost the game

[minor veldt]

I'd prefer the hoe over the candelabra

[soft osprey]

7

Take it or leave it

[minor veldt]

Cuts people in half like it's nothing

[glass forge]

if you can swing it then maybe

[glass forge]

seems about right

for today

probably more tho

[grave grove]

why did they add tripping, where they just fall if their legs are not walking right, THEY NEVER WALK RIGHT their legs go through eachother because he tries to put both feet infront of eachother

[glass forge]

i literally tripped rn

[marsh sandal]

Chat is he cooked?

[glass forge]

he looks like he wants to die

[vapid hull]

NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT !!!!!!!!!

[soft osprey]

I don’t know 🙁

[marsh sandal]

Man I tried to make someone surrender and ended up stabing his throat

[glass forge]

usually the other way around for me

[grave grove]

https://tenor.com/view/sukuna-smile-grin-jjk-yuji-itadori-gif-18924114

"its only fair, only one winner right?"

i always make sure every willie is dead

none shall surender, as it is the way of the coward

fight till death

[spring rampart]

i just cut a willie lengthwise

straight down the middle

[grave grove]

DAYM

[marsh sandal]

same unless they somehow kill me

[grave grove]

i usualy die to random mistakes i make, or if the game says ive been winning to hard

[marsh sandal]

I made the mistake of waiting for my enemy to attack back, MF cut my arm off then caved my chest in

[grave grove]

i waited for a willie with a fork, and he lunged at me foxy style and i died, i looked in cam mode AND HE WAS IN THE AIR aka he managed to pole jump off my body and launch himself in the air, almost outside the feild

[marsh sandal]

nah

[thorny iris]

is there a trainer for the new build

[zinc field]

shit

the fucking ai called me out

[soft osprey]

You

I swear to god, you

No more polls

[zinc field]

yes?

ok

[soft osprey]

Pleaseeee

[zinc field]

hmmm

I'll think about it

[elfin mortar]

ive been crashing alot more since the new demo released

[soft osprey]

All day long going off randomly 😭

Poll results

[zinc field]

do I still have to get a score above my old one?

[soft osprey]

Yeah there’s some unfortunate issues with crashing. You can turn down blood, maybe gore, and graphics too. They all help reduce crashes

[cloud ferry]

My Willie hurts

[elfin mortar]

id honestly rather just endure the crashes lmao

[dark crag]

what do i do when i beat it

[soft osprey]

fair enough

[dark crag]

I feel like i played this game every available second until I beat it and now I just cba

[zinc field]

need an answer on this

[raw finch]

bruh this game keeps fucking crashing at ultimate stage

im playing with zero gore and it still crashes

[zinc field]

zero blood?

[calm ivy]

Got a NICE counter on this one! Timed to exactly when he's about to thrust:

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kczeJiDUNmchebSHa?invite=cr-MSwwdDMsMjY1MzE2ODc2

[serene tulip]

made him symmetrical

[calm ivy]

DID I JUST DO A @idle crane ?? lol

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kczt8RTpM50LBlZV3?invite=cr-MSwxVU8sMjY1MzE2ODc2

[storm falcon]

first time getting to the solider rank I wonder how long I'll last

[serene tulip]

Made him symmetrical again

[raw finch]

zero gore and blood

ppl saying on threads to lower it down because that what causes it to crash

[storm falcon]

pole arms are so much fun

[raw finch]

but im still crashing

[upper wigeon]

that is indeed what helped me. I've also heard downscaling to 720 on lower end systems can help

[wooden walrus]

hope there is an update soon. this game is in a bad condition since last update

[delicate lava]

I got HS working consistently on the Steam Deck. 60fps or higher.

Also how do I get up once I am knocked down

[wooden walrus]

you just walk forward and ur character should eventually figure it out unless he got hit in the head too much

[lucid perch]

the horrors of being french

[storm falcon]

omg vetern

[delicate lava]

I try that but my guy forgets how to move lol.

[wispy fulcrum]

help what shoudl be my mouse sensetivity and lock on settings bc either my settings r messed up or my mosue is jus unresponsive

but yea i heard that you shoudl turn down lock on so that u can move more freely

but i also heard that you sould turn down sensetivity to be more accurate

and now im pretty much stuck pointing in one direction

[storm falcon]

MAN AT ARMS

[oak totem]

is there no passive parry?

[storm falcon]

could this be the day I actually complete the Gaultlent

[elfin helm]

Yo got a question haven’t played half sword since play test and in the demo the classes are locked is there anyway to play any other classes besides peasant?

[storm falcon]

there is a free mode

[elfin helm]

Okay

[storm falcon]

on the right bottom corner

[elfin helm]

Is that in the character class selection screen or main menu?

[harsh sorrel]

damn i wish i could send images 😔

[radiant veldt]

same

[elfin helm]

Trying to figure this out for a streamer I watch tbh but I play sometimes as well just not around my pc

He got it lmao thanks guys

[radiant veldt]

I got screenshot of me throwing a willie toddler guess ill wait for my 30 minute cooldown in photography

[bright anvil]

How do I force restart the gauntlet...

[harsh sorrel]

Die? idk

[bright anvil]

Fair

[radiant veldt]

die then die or quit in abyss

[storm falcon]

welp I lost

[mighty tulip]

it just restarts the current rank im on ;-;

[harsh sorrel]

you on baron???

[mighty tulip]

whats that

[harsh sorrel]

last tier

[mighty tulip]

im on second to last

[harsh sorrel]

huh, weird

[harsh sorrel]

nah, valid reaction

[gloomy crater]

i cant beat the first boss 😭

[lethal crag]

try stabbing him with the center cleaver or getting a large candlestick

[gloomy crater]

also why is my dudes legs made out of pool noodles

i turn and i fall over

I DIED AGAIN

this guy is way too OP

i cant even get to the knife before i get one tapped

I DIE SO FAST I CANT DO ANYTRHING

THIS IS LIKE THE 10TH TIME DIYING

[real elbow]

My strat for the first boss, is just sprint At him and start punching him in the stomach

His wind up with the ax is usually long enough to where you can just get in there

[manic patio]

are crashes getting more common with the current build(s) of the demo?

[gloomy crater]

i do that then because of my noodle legs i just fall over

and it takes 5 - 10 business days to get back up

[umbral pollen]

is the game gonna be free after the demo?
]\

[lethal crag]

99% no

[umbral pollen]

bro the game is so good i dont wanna spend anything

[lethal crag]

i mean if you like the game you should be willing to spend a bit if you wanna get the early access (if able to)

[real elbow]

It just takes trial and error, but once you get the timing right, you can easily knock him over 75% of the time, and I found that if you fall over just hold G, it’s much faster than having to get the three points back

[toxic dome]

Hey guys, i'm new to half sword, i saw you could try LAN to play, but how do i do it? I tried searching and i saw something about giga mode, but i cant find anything about it ingame

[lethal crag]

wdym LAN? do you mean for like multiplayer or am i confused?

[toxic dome]

yeah

local

[lethal crag]

there is no multiplayer, even modded to my knowledge

(emphasis on to my knowledge)

[umbral pollen]

where do you download mods?

[toxic dome]

Ah my bad i got baited by AI

[lethal crag]

check out the #modders-guild-hall

[toxic dome]

I'm still enjoying the game though, shame i can't beat my friends to a pulp

[shy maple]

is there any way i can replay the gauntlet

[lethal crag]

not if your actively trying to beat the ult challenge

then you’d need to delete the save file i guess

[shy maple]

ah

[lethal crag]

happens to the best of us

[charred crow]

Do we know how much of the games content will be available at launch

[harsh sorrel]

gang, Im trying to change the keybinds for the trainer mod? where do I find "keybinds.txt" I cant find it help 😭

[toxic dome]

is there a way to change normal keybinds?

[harsh sorrel]

I see that theres a way, I just cant find the txt file for it

The void does tend to muddle the mind and senses. Best you forget what you've seen.

[vale creek]

the abyss is full of giant white rectangles

the heirarchy wants to hide this fact from tax payers

[harsh sorrel]

the mind shall break down in the void, best to forget what has been seen

[spark horizon]

yo what gore setting do people usually play on?

asking cause i assume it affects how easy it is for you/the enemies to be dismembered and stuff

[lunar oxide]

Gruesome if you want a balanced mix of gore. Grotesque if you want blood baths and easy dismemberment.

or just tweak the settings until you find a satisfactory medium.

[raw finch]

did it and the game didnt crash and got to kill the final boss 👍

[jolly gorge]

They need to add the Barbute helmet to the game. The same helmet that the warden wears in For Honor

My favorite helmet of that time period

[upper wigeon]

good stuff dude

[slim dock]

for honor mentioned

[upper wigeon]

glad it worked out

[lunar oxide]

Been doing a bit more practice. Moved on from footwork and starting to work on my form.

[upper wigeon]

the future game will be more stable

[spark horizon]

i'm most interested in which gives the best gameplay experience more or less haha, assuming it affects it

[jolly gorge]

Do yk when it will fully release with all the intended content

[lunar oxide]

Gruesome. The game is balanced around it.

[upper wigeon]

we'll have to wait and find out. Maybe check out the FAQ

[spark horizon]

👌

[lunar oxide]

Pretty much any good cut on groteseque will cleave people in two.

[random drum]

The baron fight is fucking bullshit btw

[upper wigeon]

welcome to the disc 🙂

[spark horizon]

also are there tricks to getting up better? or is it only pain

[random drum]

how are you supposed to fight a longsword with a knife and a scycle

[jolly gorge]

?

[upper wigeon]

if you hit slo mo for a sec he'll try to get up faster

[upper wigeon]

double click to stab in slo mo is really good

[jolly gorge]

R u sure ur fighting the baron

[spark horizon]

gotcha

[lunar oxide]

Pray and then attempt to close the distance.

[vapid hull]

Not gonna lie I have hardly touched slowmo

[upper wigeon]

also if you're mid getting up you can grab them to assist getting up faster and to sometimes bring them down

[jolly gorge]

This server doesnt have a FAQ

[upper wigeon]

you can also kick while down if you have enough tonus

[random drum]

I dont like this rng

loot

it feels like im doing a fnaf maxmode

[upper wigeon]

server guide

[random drum]

This game has alot of potential

but rng like this isnt fun

[lunar oxide]

Quite simply and I mean this in the most well intentioned way possible. Get good.

[jolly gorge]

Ok thats not bad

[upper wigeon]

there's already so much to do and learn! it feels less rng the more you understand what kills you

[jolly gorge]

Q4 2025

Is the early access

I hope we get new maps

[upper wigeon]

don't kick swords, don't lose your stam, understand weight. All v important

[vapid hull]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cake-cutting-cutting-kitty-gif-11810334948872627297

[jolly gorge]

Cuz the ring does get stale

[random drum]

Spawning with a knife on the ground

[jolly gorge]

I hate this

[random drum]

and then the next guy you fight has a knife

is rng

Im not going through a basic battle where i get to choose my gear like in the gauntlet

[upper wigeon]

:p

[random drum]

i am conditioned by the luck i have

[shy maple]

too far?

[jolly gorge]

If you die in the final challenge you dont loss your progress

[lunar oxide]

Learn the other weapons dude.

[jolly gorge]

Just keep going until u get the weapons u needs

[vapid hull]

its luna !!

[random drum]

You cant say learn the other weapons

[jolly gorge]

Being sliced in half

[random drum]

when one has a longsword

and the other 2 knives

[vapid hull]

its just cake

[random drum]

there is litteraly nothing to learn

[lunar oxide]

Freemode exists for a reason

[jolly gorge]

Quite literally the biggest mental block skill issue ive ever seen

If you kill the first enemy

At the final challenge

Take his sword

Or wtv he has

Use it

Dont stick with the knife

Ur dooming yourself

[random drum]

and what if the enemy has another knife

im double dooming myself

or what

[jolly gorge]

The enemy doesnt always have a knife

And then again

[random drum]

Thats not fun

[jolly gorge]

You can still kill the next wave

[random drum]

that is rng

[lunar oxide]

Bro how do people get this far and fail to grasp anything about this game.

[jolly gorge]

They dont have much armor

[lunar oxide]

It makes no sense

[jolly gorge]

use slo mo to use the knife best

Gives u time to react

[jolly gorge]

Idk

Imma do the gaunlet again rn just for fun

Im bored

[lunar oxide]

Like dude. You're telling me you made it this far and yet you still don't understand the combat? Like people really just take the path of least resistance and then complain when they get push back.

Shit confuses me

[jolly gorge]

Only thing

That’s uncontrollable in this game

Is when u crash

Everything is fair game

sometimes in life u gotta play the hand of cards given to you and improvise

[lunar oxide]

There's always an aspect of luck in a fight. The main thing is getting the odds in your favor.
