[proven verge]

Its all up to your playstyle but generally you want to bonk the head with blunts all tiers

[ancient portal]

But overhead swings are so wonky

I wish there was a two handed blunt weapon in commoner to compete with longswords

should I be using the one handed one two handed and forgo the shield?

in militia too idk how to use blunt

[proven verge]

They really arent with enough practice, make sure your ingame sensitivity is down and youre holding shift on swings.

[ancient portal]

they just have so much range and do so much damage

[ancient portal]

Whats holding shift do to swings? Isnt that just to dodge/sprint?

[mossy fog]

holding shift also changes your stance

[proven verge]

Holding shift puts willie in a fighting stance, his legs spread out.

[proven verge]

Think chopping wood, you dont have your legs close together when youre swinging like youre standing at attention. You spread them out.

[ancient portal]

is center crosshair good to have on?

[mental kelp]

try holding it up high and then instead of normal swinging extend out a thrust with alt, from the high position it makes it go straight down in their head area

and it is more consistently downward and less floppy than a normal swing

[proven verge]

I've never noticed a difference because I have lock on maxed out anyways tbh

[ocean ice]

https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/17157962148364473102/3EDFDF4D000667DA4521C67B430258CEB0C1D95A/

was proud of this one lol

[ancient portal]

wym maxed out

[proven verge]

The lockon setting...i have it maxxed out under Game in settings

[ancient portal]

does that help?

[proven verge]

It keeps you on target when holding mouse buttons, for my playstyle where I like to counter with parries and ripostes, tremendously.

[honest thorn]

overheads take some nuance, and technique to repeat. some reaquire setup via swinging out in a horizontal way ive found

[short tartan]

Tapping crouch as you swing downwards can also make it a lil more impactful I find, you'll have to get a feel for it though.

[honest thorn]

that first parry is CLEANNNN

[honest thorn]

ive been playing a lot of first person so my fighting does not look quite as epiq

[proven verge]

As for this I prefer the buckler as auto parry applies to it, the other shields don't seem to have it as much.

[ancient portal]

Auto parry is a thing?

[honest thorn]

i did that last night, 😛 the second hit was overkill methinks

yeah your willy will try to block attacks automatically

but they arent super good at it so you gotta guide em too, its like uh, aim assists, but for dangerous weapons

[ancient portal]

do I have to be holding right click to do that?

[sweet hamlet]

as opposed to aim assist for non-dangerous weapons, yes.

[honest thorn]

it sounded better in my head smh

[proven verge]

No it only applies to bladed weapons like swords and some shields, you just have to hold left click. But you still have to assist the block other wise willies force of swings can break through it and it doesnt fully react to some swings, think of it more as a guide rather than a full block system.

[ancient portal]

wait but if I'm holding left click, doesnt that only control my weapon in the right hand?

[proven verge]

Yes, it depends on the weapon hand. But if you were holding right click with a two hander (halfswording) then auto parry wont activate.

[ancient portal]

so just control the weapon hand and dont touch the button for the shield?

[proven verge]

No no, if you have a shield then hold right click to account for the hand it is in. You could hold both mouse buttons if youre using one hander with a shield, but ive found that can lead to the weapon getting caught behind the shield.

[tough ledge]

As an indie game can this game get the proper licenses to use characters as potential "final bosses" in the gauntlet mode?

small but cool idea

[slender hull]

Stand thy hand, good Sire, Let thus this bloodshed come to an end.

Thy bravery is proveth! No need for further proof

[timid glacier]

WHY CAN I NOT CHOOSE PLS HELP WANT TO PLAY #game-footage-🎮🎥

[slender hull]

^best line

[ancient portal]

Me after impaling a guy

[slender hull]

He was brave, can’t deny that.

[slender hull]

What gain is there in bloodshed?
Let us parleyen rather than perishen.

[slender hull]

I always grab the guys hand and pull him up if I say this voiceline

[ancient portal]

it just feels so awkward to try and go for overheads with the one handed mace when it just opens you up to getting stabbed

on the later two handed weapons it feels better

like when I swing up to go for the downswing my character looks so far down that it just hits their chest

lockon is maxed

[scarlet rover]

Omfg I just found out that with longsword if you single click, you'll go from a neutral guard up into Vom Tag

So much more to unlock, I need to test this out with other weapons to see if the same thing happens

[ancient portal]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kh285K7hncekZlx9p?invite=cr-MSxGcjMsOTA4Mzk3ODg

Like this felt so weird

and I gotta love being split in twain because I staggered the enemy

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kh285K7hncekZlx9p?invite=cr-MSxGcjMsOTA4Mzk3ODg

not sure how you beat these guys with blunt, my all blunt run might be cooked

why are overheads so effortless with the candlestick

[proven verge]

Im a big fan of the ox guard, you can pretty much hold the sword in any position and replicate HEMA guards as the devs are HEMA practitioners themselves, Fools guard really works well as well.

[slender hull]

Turn away from this path, ere it be too late.

[serene tulip]

Belated addition to the autoparry discussion

[maiden cipher]

So is it just me

or the disintegration effect

when you kill enemies in like the gauntlet or abyss

is different from the effect from the previous demo version

Are they the same?

[solemn holly]

in the previous demo enemies didn't disintegrate

[maiden cipher]

Not playtest but demo?

The abyss demo?

[viral latch]

Chad mcbaise enjoyer

[solemn holly]

yes, enemies did not disintegrate in the old abyss demo

[maiden cipher]

This version is the first time we are seeing the disintegration effect???

[solemn holly]

correct

[maiden cipher]

I could swear I've seen it in limited capacity before

[solemn holly]

enemies just despawned when you walked far away enough in the old demo

but their bodies would remain if you were close enough

[maiden cipher]

I'm just going insane I guess because I swear I've seen halfsword have a cleaner effect like currently it feels like their limbs all detach and it causes some weird stretching effects

But there was a disintegration effect from something before that just like, dissolved their skin down to the bone and then that too

[molten galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/seal-seal-dance-kad-kadinhou-sfc-gif-27260805

[maiden cipher]

Anyway I guess the broader point here is this, the stretching effect is really obvious

[willow linden]

that happens in the ultimate challange

[maiden cipher]

The gauntlet you mean yeah? Only from this update though

[pearl ferry]

for honor execution

[ancient portal]

Can anyone help me coach me in using blunt weapons in dms? I’m tearing my hair out trying to figure it out

Bladed weapons are just “swing it around until it touches them and they lose a limb”

And blunt weapons you gotta hit in just the right way in the right place to not just hit them with a pool noodle

[pearl ferry]

cutting your swing off and generating momentum are key for blunt weapons

[mossy fog]

the weird stretching happens on low graphics settings

[pearl ferry]

you dont need a lot of force to kill with any of them but you are at a slight disadvantage vs. sharp

[maiden cipher]

I’m running like medium I think maybe high. Whichever is the first to give shadows

Unless you just mean “lower than ultra”

[ancient portal]

Like stop holding click partially through the swing?

[pearl ferry]

Yessir. You can also do full swings without stopping them, but they take more practice

Letting go gets you a better feel for the blunt weapons a little faster though imo

And once you get the hang of it, you'll start being able to land the full on hold click swings which are also really fun

one of my favorite blunt weapons to practice with

the t2 mace

[light stirrup]

Did he just check my kick?

[ancient portal]

Mind if I send you some stuff in dms for you to review?

[pearl ferry]

sure

[wooden gazelle]

quick n smooth

[amber radish]

Is there a way to stop my guy from feeling like a wet needle when guarding?

its always at the begger/peasent stage and he just 'flops'

[bronze dust]

made the tragic mistake of stepping on a sword, had my foot chopped off in the abyss

tragic

halfsword should let me pull some black knight shit, fr fr

it's just a foot, I can still hop around on the other one, surely

[snow gulch]

thats actually a neat idea, it'd help give more general accuracy i feel

[ancient portal]

I love it when that happens, or the scythe/greatsword grazes you when the enemy staggers and instantly bisects you like a lightsaber

[naive holly]

Thats MY mothafuggin candelabra you STANK! ASS! HOE!

[bronze dust]

It’s definitely annoying but I just kinda shrug at it by now

[bronze dust]

Clean hit lol

[severe plinth]

i love that one weapon that has choppy chop part at the end of it

so many decapitations

[pearl ferry]

yeah it's also fun to do. lets you move your camera around so you get a lot more angle opportunities

[slim trellis]

Alright so after two other attempts at sword games i found my back at half sword. so i shall now complain "Half Sword VR when?"\j

[vagrant sonnet]

guys when do you think devs will add bashing heads in

with blunts like mace

[solemn holly]

that existed in the old demo

[vagrant sonnet]

yeah.. I know

[solemn holly]

might be in early access though

[deep shale]

why does it no longer exist if it was in the old demo

[vagrant sonnet]

Thats what I said!

[solemn holly]

they are completely re-doing the gore system

[bronze dust]

Reworking gore system- yeah

[deep shale]

i understand that they had to remove it for the tokyo games fest
and then they put it back in
and well

[vagrant sonnet]

wouldnt it be done by now tho

[solemn holly]

the gore? not yet

[vagrant sonnet]

brooo 😭

[solemn holly]

they still have to work on organs, optimizations, and so on

[vagrant sonnet]

I've been here for almost a year now atp

and still its not done

Last like however many pings in the WIP have just been shields 'n garments (armor, neckpieces, or whatever)

I've known this game even prior to joining the server, and still its yet to be finished 😔

imma get angyyy

[solemn holly]

i mean hey, early access is happening q4 this year

and it's vastly improved since it's early days of the itch.io demo

[solemn holly]

they have a lot to work on, not just the gore

maps, bug fixes, gamemodes, weapons, actual different characters other than a clone of a single man, a campaign

[tired stream]

They can work on more than one thing at a time

[bronze dust]

I do hope they add more helmets

[tired stream]

And the armor, weapons, other things take less time than things like gore and the such

[serene tulip]

think it's about time to play Veteran again. Commoner's been fun, but time to play around wtih aiming past armor again

[naive holly]

You're getting entitttled. It's a free bugtest demo build. They'll work at whatever pace they work at to deliver a polished product day 1.

HSG is legit six people.

SIX devs

[vagrant sonnet]

nuh uh im not entitled... or maybe i am , but still!

[unkempt rover]

what happens if I die as baron in free mode

nothing right

[mental kelp]

yes

[marsh sandal]

Any tips for throwing knives?

[rancid sluice]

Exactly how fast do you think you could develop an indie game lmao

[vagrant sonnet]

idk

[proven verge]

For free at that, completely on your spare time.

[opal glen]

two days

[rancid sluice]

ez

[bright beacon]

why is this guy looking at me like that

someone make him go away

[modest whale]

[bitter star]

Dude I had the funniest bug.
That demo has no rights being taht fun so far

[rancid sluice]

I'm so curious what the full game is going to be

Because at the end of the day this is just a tech demo of the combat system

[bitter star]

I kinda like the abyss thing, just wish there was a no gray fog variant.

[rancid sluice]

You can turn the fog off in your settings

It's still dark but no more fog

[bitter star]

Oh gotcha, otherwise im just doing waves afteer waves. I wonder what the tier above fuilly armored is

[bronze dust]

dumb question, but why do some people want to reset their game to before they beat the baron? they can still do the gauntlet lol

[bitter star]

I sometimes dont even do te gauntlet and just spawn as a dude with a spear and fight other dudes in the same tier over and over.

something im starting to notice is that weapons get stuck inside enemies sometimes, and its better to just leave it there and pummel them to death with your fist or other weapon

[bitter star]

Crazy fun how sometimes they just chicken out after 1-2 good hits, when other times they straight up REFUSE to go down, like, i give them multiple occasion to stop fighting lmao

[foggy talon]

hey ive got a specific question

one of the throat gurgling sounds is sort of out of place

it only comes out of of one ear phone, is much lower quality and is just generally not like any of the other audios

is this sampled from something rather than recorded??

[bitter star]

Is it possible to rebind keys? cuz damn its annoying that left arm isnt lmb

[rancid sluice]

I agree but there is unfortunately no way to do so at this time

[bitter star]

Thanks!

thrustiung your weapon on a grounded enemy seems very hard to do as well, or maybe its just me?

[pearl ferry]

Move when you thrust

you need to generate momentum

Or have like an upward angle. It is hard to thrust downed opponent,s ur right

[bitter star]

Ive had so many enemies just stand back up cuz im there guving them a massage with my sword

https://tenor.com/view/30rock-alec-baldwin-there-there-cheer-up-comfort-gif-4215371

ahh

[tepid geyser]

willie miss sword
willie eats shit and dies

having reach advantage be like

[glass quiver]

I've figured out how to sorta make the polearm obselete against the great sword, dont attack the grip of the stick, sattack the base, it makes the swing go off course

[edgy jacinth]

bro thought he won just cuz he cut me in half 💀

[bitter star]

HAHAHA

[proven verge]

The last hit feels a little too real

[bitter star]

its doubletap, not tripletap

THE random ass 0 to 100 DBZ ass punches always is so fucking funny

Also that guy did a lil two step when he came up to you

[cosmic quail]

what are people using to blur their image backgrounds in photography?

[river sparrow]

depth of field

its in the camera mode menu somewhere

like the fourth or fifth tab over

[bitter star]

punching the shint out of them on the ground is hilarious

[cosmic quail]

is it focus distance? it was the only thing I could find

[river sparrow]

i believe so

[modest whale]

FLIGGITY GIBBER

[distant chasm]

Does anyone else’s game crash when sparks fly from armor?

[river sparrow]

occasionally

[river sparrow]

only ever happens to me in the abyss, final boss, or when playing as the final tier

[crude flower]

Focus distance is "Z" distance

[torpid mortar]

had rough day, huh?

[modest whale]

LET NOT THEE HAND

[crude flower]

BE HEAVY UPON ME

[shy maple]

finally

[river sparrow]

Fatal Error!

[shy maple]

i turned off gore

and blood

[river sparrow]

coward...

[river sparrow]

me personally i did it with blood and gore on

cause im super cool

[crude flower]

You are super cool

[distant chasm]

I still think player damage setting needs to get worked on

Not only can you still die, but you can still get permanently injured with it on zero

[crude flower]

Of course you can

[opaque creek]

Do you think the devs turn damage to player down for gauntlet?

[distant chasm]

I think they do

[crude flower]

It's a max and min not a 100% or 0%

[distant chasm]

I seem to get killed way more often in abyss

[river sparrow]

i know, thank you so much 🥰 🥰 🥰

[distant chasm]

Says who

?

[lethal crag]

i think you got em

[distant chasm]

Game would run way smoother if each drop of blood wasn’t detailed for literally no reason

[torpid mortar]

i think so too

[lethal crag]

did he get up?

[torpid mortar]

sadly not

[lethal crag]

yeah i thought so

[torpid mortar]

i wouldve loved to see him get up after being hit by that hook

but no

he kinda just

died

[lethal crag]

the unstoppable willie spirit is not factual today 🙏

i have seen them get up from some crazy stuff though

one chased caseoh with one leg before

[bitter star]

vecna ahh death

[hushed carbon]

gangy wtf u hit his legs with

man found a rock on the ground

[lethal crag]

im trying to decipher what you did to him here so hold on

[hushed carbon]

maybe kicks

[lethal crag]

i believe

that he

[hushed carbon]

feet are bloody

[torpid mortar]

believe it or not i did not kick him once

[lethal crag]

• Broke his leg
• And his arm
• and his hand
• and his other leg

[hushed carbon]

💀

aint even know u could break limbs in this game

[lethal crag]

oh yeah for sure

dude you can kick a guy hard enough to break his arm

[hushed carbon]

shi most of my kicks go to body

or i jus knock them out with punches

[torpid mortar]

old screenshot but it makes a point

[lethal crag]

might wanna look into mastering taekwondo in halfsword ngl

[hushed carbon]

god damn

[lethal crag]

oh yeah ive seen that lol

[hushed carbon]

i got boxing down i guess but not really kicks

[torpid mortar]

reposted it like 10 times now

it goes insanely hard

[hushed carbon]

most i can do is like jump while swinging

[hasty jetty]

thats what matters

[lethal crag]

kicks can unironically win you the beggar tier alone

if you know what you’re doing

[hushed carbon]

oh yeah

[lethal crag]

heck the next tier too

[hushed carbon]

but i've never broke limbs

its always just body and head shots

[lethal crag]

i wish i clipped the times ive done my kicks as example

you dont even NEED to spin kick

heck i dont use spin kicks

not much

theyre usually less accurate

[bitter star]

I cut off hands, sliced heads in half, torsos in half.. you can mangle them pretty hard #photography📷 message

[lethal crag]

what you WANNA do is turn ur sensitivity up, move your mouse to the side of the guy, press space, then once it reaches up, jerk the mouse back to the guy

(guy being opponent)

[hushed carbon]

cutting is easier than breaking

[torpid mortar]

just turn your sens to max dude

[lethal crag]

you’re essentially slamming your leg into him at full force

[lethal crag]

yeah its gotta be max really

[hushed carbon]

man did the arabian shadow lunge

[lethal crag]

EXACTLY LOL

[lethal crag]

ill post some clips of this one day

[lethal crag]

beautiful

blissful ass kick ngl

minor fumble

[lethal crag]

yeah that happens 😭

then you just look like you slipped over a banana peel

[distant chasm]

I think damage is over exaggerated even with 0 player damage setting on

I was in full armor in abyss

Walked over a sword

And it chopped my leg off

[torpid mortar]

well considering i actually slipped, yeah

[distant chasm]

Not as bad as when someone has a polearm and suddenly starts dying

Flying

Or spawning in and your weapons spawn in after you

[torpid mortar]

dont ask how but thats what happened

[distant chasm]

Causing the sheathed ones to stab you

[torpid mortar]

maxed out dex build be like.

[opaque creek]

kick build

They never nerfed kicking in half sword

[potent crag]

im liking the demo but why the actual hell is the axes damage so ridiculously overtuned? i just was fighting an enemy and disabled his limb, he was dragging his axe on the ground and im not even kidding i stepped on the axe and it insta killed me...

[opaque creek]

When they let go of their sword it has 0 collision for a moment and can get stuck inside of you

and their sword happened to be on your foot

axe rather

[potent crag]

but its consistently the axe though, i mean ive had the axe dismember/insta kill me in multiple instances where it was hardly moving

the swords are okay, but the axe feels like a damn lightsaber

[bitter star]

I've chopped off hands with very little swings, whereas I felt like axes needed very precise swings.

[crude flower]

I think it's just how it is for all weapons

Could be some placebo for how y'all actually use the axe and sword

[hasty cosmos]

i was playing uc and the wall killed mje

[crude flower]

Sword can chop off appendages pretty easy

[hasty cosmos]

bro

[crude flower]

It does that a lot

Big wooden posts hurt

[hasty cosmos]

well this time i got knocked down by the helmet spawning when the guy died

i didn't know that was possible

[crude flower]

Tbh i ain't ever gotten to the end

I was at t8 and fought the baron twice

Force to be reckoned with

[hasty cosmos]

never even got to the baron

[crude flower]

Once you get to t4 it gets easier

But t3 and down is truly the rough area

[hasty cosmos]

[wild vigil]

Mhmm

[leaden echo]

Yo, HOW THE FUCK DOES A GARDENING HOE CUT ME IN HALF IN A SINGLE STRIKE, AND ON TOP OF THAT THE ENEMIES DAMAGE OUTPUT IS AS LOW AS POSSIBLE

[potent crag]

wtf is this game sometimes, this dude knocked me out, but i sliced him across the face really deep, and he stumbled into me with his sword and killed me

[hasty cosmos]

yeah absurd things like that happen all the time

adds to the charm sometimes

other times it's kinda annoying

[astral adder]

Is it me or is the billhook the best weapon in the game

[onyx furnace]

Once I get to the baron challenge, can I redo the other ones without resetting progress?

[astral adder]

I wonder how pvp would work in this game if its ever implemented

dealing with long range weapon users would be a pain

I suppose its fairly easy to bat them away with a sword if you're a person, lol

I wish we could disable those dumb voicelines at the end of a round.

I want to hear my enemys screams, I dont want to hear "let reason ruleth where rage might" for the thousandths' time

[waxen lance]

Dont wanna hear the enemy scream?

then hit them until they stop making sounds

[astral adder]

You misunderstand.

I want to hear them scream. I dont want to hear anything other than that, and the sound of my weapon.

[waxen lance]

Then stab them and leave the blade in

[woven granite]

doing the barron challenge a second time and ffs its so hard to complete when constantly getting fatal errors

also just random bugs

like my spear disappearing from my hands when the next round starts

[potent crag]

is there a more consistent strategy for the beggar boss

[woven granite]

bait out a swing then stab him

[potent crag]

i swear to god anytime i get the upperhand on the beggar boss my character just falls over even if im not out of stam

[astral adder]

big candleholder

[woven granite]

that too

[potent crag]

anytime i use candleholder i get locked into a close grapple and my character just fucking falls over

[torpid mortar]

punch so hard it deformed my elbow

[woven granite]

I atted you in game footage, its just a case of baiting out a swing and using the left to right swing on him, there's a stabby section where the candle goes and while his axe is facing away you have an opening

make sure you're using the stick two handed and you can block his attacks somewhat by raising it above your head like i almost did in the video

[crude flower]

Don't block

Dodge

[woven granite]

i mean yeah,

block is harder

[crude flower]

Axe has a huge windup

You can get an attack off and run away before he can hit you

[astral adder]

How do I shield bash?

[crude flower]

By swinging your left arm

With a shield on it

[astral adder]

genius!

[crude flower]

Thank you thank you

[astral adder]

I really like the sheild machete combo

[crude flower]

The falchion is a beast

[torpid mortar]

that windup got me floating.

[chrome marten]

Is there a method to the madness of getting up?

(In game)

([from off the ground])

[onyx furnace]

I hope they make it more engaging. Once you're down, it's pretty much over. The fact it takes your camera down and lets you control your arms and wiggle them, there's no reason wee shouldn't be raising our weapon to block on our back, at least

I've taken to just surrendering once I fall over if I've taken a head hit, cus I know I won't get back up in time, and they take too long to kill me to make it worth trying.

[woven granite]

i tested this, it genuinely lets you wiggle your arms and thats it, I wish i could at least raise a buckler to block while trying to get up

the best you can hope for is surrender cheese, Spam surrender and let go just before it ends

[willow pine]

Will this game support VR?

[woven granite]

they might stop attacking

[astral adder]

The most annoying thing is when the enemy rushes you while doing the half sword thing

And I cant do anything as they shove me to the ground

[woven granite]

halfsword you say? xD

[astral adder]

Literal

half sword

[onyx furnace]

I think, maybe when the game has a game to it beyond the physics murrder sandbox, they can be programmed to let you get back up. Honorable fights and all. Maybe you can ruin your reputation by being a bad sport. Maybe that's the kind of rep you want.

[chrome marten]

It’s an unreal game so you can force it as is, even in the demo

[onyx furnace]

But my dream game is this and some horrible mix of Mount and Blade which melts my PC

[opaque creek]

Holding shift and holding whatever direction your feet are pointed

[onyx furnace]

I knew W was mandatory for you getting up but I wasnt sure about shift

[opaque creek]

Can be WAS or D wherever the camera is pointing

[astral adder]

I sometimes let my opponent start to get up so their heads are in the perfect position for a parallel horizontal swing

[onyx furnace]

I let them get up because its funny as shit to watch them take a wild swing at me while barely upright, and collapse into their shield in the next beat

[woven granite]

monster

[onyx furnace]

Everyone brutalizes at least once

People turn up for the melon popping

[woven granite]

meanwhile im taking a photo of an axe in someone's chest lmao

[warm bone]

is there a way i make my enemies fight? bc they give up after the first hit

[naive holly]

Turn down npc damage

You sliced they arm etc they're gonna panic 😭

[warm bone]

i saw a guy standing after not having left arm and leg and still tryin to fight

[warm bone]

i turned it almost to 0 they still fall

[naive holly]

Ok so which is it

They fight limbless or they yield off of nothing

[warm bone]

wdym

u mean what i saw or what i have in game

[naive holly]

Oh i see what you mean

Sounded like you witnessed it firsthand

[warm bone]

i saw a guy still fightin and in my game they can't do anything if i cut small piece of their left arm

[warm bone]

no i saw on youtube

[naive holly]

I see I see

It really just depends where you hit them, how much damage you do, what weapon you use.

There is a bug going around where they won't yield until you turn them into gound meat.

[warm bone]

i almost find setting for them to still fight after losing an arm

i found it

thx

[naive holly]

Sweet

[potent crag]

whats tje strat for soldier boss?

[snow gulch]

ultrakill willy

[warm bone]

is he tryin to parry?

[astral adder]

Probably some sort of pointy thing on a long stick

[potent crag]

i would assume but hes so armored

[astral adder]

Is he the guy with everything armored aside from his head?

[potent crag]

pretty much, feet and face

[split pulsar]

after defeating the baron

what then

what is there to do

redo it all over again?

[astral adder]

Hit him on the head, then

[potent crag]

well i mean he has a helmet

and mail coif

he just has a bit of his face exposed

[snow gulch]

use baron and create havoc

[naive reef]

Anyone else ever like stand on something weird then fall over backward and the game just crashes

like a crate or a person grabbing your leg

[wheat bridge]

fart

[dry eagle]

when the release?

[leaden compass]

Yesterday™️

[waxen pulsar]

is it just me or does the new abyss have almost no loot in between bosses

[dry eagle]

i wish is free

[potent crag]

god damnit, i was at man at arms, highest ive gotten and i somehow managed to get stabbed through a gap in my armor at the beginning of the fight and instakilled

[cyan depot]

hi
how is the controll of the game

why can i only play demomode

[edgy jacinth]

smacked him up 🖐️

[dusty gyro]

guys, if you are using Half Sword Enhancer, you know you can spawn npc right? and you can configure the team from 0 to 9. Now, which team is the player? the willie we are playing? is it 0, or 1, or 2, or 3, or 4, or 5, or 6, or 7, or 8, or 9?

[gilded breach]

0 if playing 1v1 , carnage or spoilance. Otherwise its 1-4 depending on faction/color

[dusty gyro]

how about abyss??

[gilded breach]

Not sure i think its 0

0 is like the deathmatch faction where everyones aggressive so its kind of an exception

[dusty gyro]

so, whjat about 5-9

[rugged lichen]

Left for future factions, I think

[gaunt nimbus]

love how gentle cut on their neck is so easy to do

[summer pollen]

[rare hearth]

[signal wagon]

this game is so much fun, i love it

[hollow gale]

Nah, they gotta add Sabre duels

Or rapier duels

[north pulsar]

Rapers would be better i mean rapiers

[still shard]

the game receives a lot of hate but actually it's super fun, it just needs a bit of optimization with crashes/FPS textures and it will be rocking

I probably beat the final boss more than 20 times now, I literally beat the game daily cuz it's super fun

[willow linden]

hmmm

the physics based weapon customization?

[gilded breach]

Nothing happened its a work in progress

[orchid wyvern]

tHAT my brother is a flachion

This is a messer albeit slightly rusty

[pearl ferry]

Why's it look like shit

[orchid wyvern]

Let me get a better reference lol

I like the shell bit on the side

I forget if it has a name

[pearl ferry]

Both of those swords are single edged short swords. I don't see what a tiny finger guard would do in the game that's different from the 9 other falchions

[orchid wyvern]

You can half Longer messers can't you?

[pearl ferry]

you can't halfsword the falchions in game even if they are big

you just two hand them instead

[ocean pier]

Is this game planned to be online?

[orchid wyvern]

I don't see whats wrong with adding another sword

[orchid wyvern]

For the time being probably not

[ocean pier]

Heartbreaking

[pearl ferry]

Nothing wrong there's just like 5 swords that are already messer adjacent in the game

[orchid wyvern]

It probably will be at some point

The more the merrier right?

[pearl ferry]

the game crashes every 30 seconds on singleplayer imagine mp on ue5 with physics

[ocean pier]

It would be a missed opportunity if they don't add it

[pearl ferry]

Give them like 3 years

[ocean pier]

They seem more competent than the DND devs so I hope it'll be quicker

[pearl ferry]

dnd devs???

[ocean pier]

Dark and darker

[orchid wyvern]

this and Dnd are quite a bit different

[pearl ferry]

they said multiplayer is considered but wont come until later and when developers typically say "later" it means a few years

[rare hearth]

keep in mind the content youre seeing right now is just a demo, the game is still in its early development and things will be fixed, added, removed and/or changed in the final product

[pearl ferry]

Nod

[worthy heath]

Hey! I can't find the playtest in my library anymore, what happened?

[pearl ferry]

its demo

[orchid wyvern]

Store page, Demo

[worthy heath]

stayed away from games in general for a while...

[rare hearth]

they merged it with the demo

[pearl ferry]

demo and playtest merged

[worthy heath]

oh, great to know

thx!!

[ocean pier]

I know I'm jus saying

[orchid wyvern]

Enjoy your fix of pain and suffering

[orchid wyvern]

Fair, sorry if that was a bit standoffish lol

[ocean pier]

Don't worry man text always comes off like that

[pearl ferry]

i find it's easier with blunt and if you hit the joint directly

so if u can aim for elbows or knees

yes but it's harder

sometimes if you kick someone in the shin a few times their legs fucking explode

[summer pollen]

i think i tore out this man's esophagus

[pearl ferry]

He'sd fine

[summer pollen]

i trust you

i think willie has just procreated, i slashed a piece of his leg off and it's wriggling about alone now

[true zealot]

looks close enough to a disarm

[dusty canopy]

I never spare anyone

the way they kill me hwen im down is to selfish

so i just slice there neck

infact i check if they dead before i go

no one living

[twilit escarp]

I'm starting to enjoy using this weapon

greatsword is fun

[true zealot]

dunno what i did but it looked cool

[summer pollen]

lack of facial expressions can subtract but can also add to a scene

[hollow gale]

@north pulsar

[shut glacier]

I have a very nice question to Halfsword administration. Whats the hardware requirements because at lowest setting this game is laggin asf on my 16gb ram 1050ti intel corie i5 7gen laptop and even can crush when im in abbys.

im buyng at this month

[pearl ferry]

What's wrong with Ohio

I can name 49 worse states

[shut glacier]

yah my pc its 7 years old laptop

[twilit escarp]

it's zoomer slang

[rare hearth]

i have a worse pc and can run it on medium no problem??

with usual frame drops

ohh he said laptop my bad

[pearl ferry]

Trve...

[rare hearth]

not really

[shut glacier]

this game is seriously fun but when i cant see enemys cuz my lags its not funny any more

[rare hearth]

if u have a decent build u can probably play high stable 60 fps

[shut glacier]

im playing whole live all games at 50/40 fps

[rare hearth]

its not bad either

[shut glacier]

but the poing is when the blod showing up my fps going down to 15

[desert acorn]

firsr person brave stand feels so good

[shut glacier]

Maybe the optimize is still requier

[rare hearth]

well 60 fps runs smoothly for gaming, while yes there are monitors out there that can render 400+ fps doesnt mean everyone is gaming on those, so far the only complains ive seen can be answers with lower your blood or graphics settings

well guess what this is an indie game thats in early development

[pearl ferry]

I'm using 15 hz and am a ptolemaic stonemason

[desert acorn]

damn this guy is carving fast, whered you get him?

[shut glacier]

my laptop has 60hz but i bought monitor with 175hz and the issue is my ports can transfer only 119hz

[pearl ferry]

Nubia

[desert acorn]

well hold on to him you dont get one that fast often

[pearl ferry]

Early access released in Q4 this year

Is the demo supposed to run like ass or is there a better version to try the game? no weapons spawn for me on boss fights...

[twin hawk]

gotcha

[pallid oar]

How I be looking in gold armor (credits to @fiery viper)

[pallid oar]

man at arms tier?

[tender quest]

Tier 8

[pallid oar]

knight?

[tender quest]

yes

[pallid oar]

but the back is exposed tho

how do you manage

😭

weren't knights fully armored?

[unique pecan]

is there a way to participate on the newest demo?

[pallid oar]

steam store -> search half sword -> download

[unique pecan]

yes but i saw yt videos where there was another demo

[tender quest]

its my own loadout

[pallid oar]

ah

enhancer

[sick shuttle]

I am trying to figure out where a better demo is or what mod I need

this current demo is trash

[tender quest]

well i originally used the QOL mod to save the loadout from spawning items with the trainer mod

[sick shuttle]

what Mods do you have besides trainer?

I see QOL, anything else?

[tender quest]

just enhancer for when i want to make slow motion clips without getting tired in like 3 swings

[sick shuttle]

bet!

Thank you

[thorny perch]

the current demo is a demo

and like not a fully released game

[sick shuttle]

you a bitch, it's a bad demo. I was being honest and can't wait for the real game. you didn't need to be rude, fucking pussy

[sick shuttle]

facts, I recognize that lol that is why I commented on the demo and not the game itself

[pearl ferry]

bro died in game and is now mad

wtf! lmao

that was clean

[marsh sandal]

When im bored in half sword I just get on the game and do single combats as a commoner

It’s in my opinion the most fair rank

For both you and willie

[opaque creek]

What’s your favorite weapon for commoner

[proven verge]

Just hit the achiles run up the shield and throat stab lo

[opaque creek]

Kicking into swings in half sword guard is really funny also

[proven verge]

idk why but the fact they all ended up next to each other like that is hilarious to me

[restive garnet]

Euphoria ragdolls

[tough yew]

Do got a question regarding the motions that willie does when he’s injured

[restive garnet]

Yes 🙌🏻

[tough yew]

Back in 0.3 willie used to feel more “lively” when getting stabbed decaped. dunno how you’d put it as but it felt more dynamic

any reason why was that kinda reduced in 0.5?

that is if it was anyways

[restive garnet]

That only frank can answer

[dusty canopy]

abyssal fav gamemode

[tender quest]

should host a monthly session where we tie frank to a chair and he has to answer community questions

[restive garnet]

Impossible

He's on the move every time

But thats why we got a CM

Ask the CM your burning questions

CM might ask frank

[dusty canopy]

this channels fucking weird

[tough yew]

I just felt that question was interesting because it’s something that i don’t really see anyone talk about

[tough yew]

what about it

[soft osprey]

Erm aktchually YOURE WEIRD

[naive holly]

yeah TELL 'EM MOAI

Tell em good

[dusty canopy]

I just came here to ask about good defense tips and im just seeing these confusing ass videos and mfs talking about random shit

[restive garnet]

I haven't nothing much

[restive garnet]

Where is your question?

[naive holly]

Uh, we're talking abt the game? And posting clips? Now I'm confused

[restive garnet]

This is a half sword related chat

[naive holly]

No shade just like???

[dusty canopy]

I didnt feel like asking after seeing what yall are

[soft osprey]

All the shade

[restive garnet]

Your weird

[soft osprey]

Okay no problem hope you figure it out

[tough yew]

No one owes you an answer buddy

[naive holly]

What we ARE?? bro please

we are Willie

One OF US

[dusty canopy]

Ok this server is pissing me off im out bye

[restive garnet]

Huh

Lol

[soft osprey]

Bait used to be believable

[restive garnet]

Oke

Frfr

[naive holly]

That was so weird lol

[soft osprey]

Next time y’all better think twice before discussing halfsword in halfsword chat

[tough yew]

you would’ve actually gotten one if you weren’t an ass for no apparent reason

[soft osprey]

I just wish I knew what we were

[naive holly]

ANYWAYS check this swag

[tough yew]

swoosh

[tender quest]

where was the confusing videos?

[restive garnet]

Yours perhaps

He couldn't understand your skils

Beyond his comprehension

[naive holly]

Why sword go bonk

I dont get it 😡

[restive garnet]

It's confusinggggg grrr 🥀

[pallid oar]

i would do this if the game was more optimized 😔

[opaque creek]

I’m not getting any good clips below 110 fps tbh

At least because it feels unpleasant to play

[pallid oar]

im barely getting 70 on dx 11, lowest resolution and high graphics

[opaque creek]

Time to upgrade GPU/CPU

[pallid oar]

ngl HS is the only game that runs like under 100 fps for me 😭

[opaque creek]

I have a beefy computer and it runs poorly for me even then

Unless I stay on dx11

[pallid oar]

dx12 uses some kind of lighting

very heavy performance

[pearl ferry]

you can two hand all the single edged swords

[pallid oar]

thas why its unstabled

[opaque creek]

Just need more vram on my gpu

[pearl ferry]

overheads will stop and deflect any incoming attack EXCEPT for other overheads or stabs

[short prairie]

New to halfsword but the game skill ceiling looks insane already

[fallow sentinel]

always target the wound

[short prairie]

Im guessing longswords will be meta in duels when multiplayer comes out

[naive holly]

Who's gonna tell him

[rancid sluice]

I kind of doubt multiplayer will be viable

[rancid sluice]

Also nah, the meta is polearms

[naive holly]

Billhook supremacy

Even tho I'm a LS dweeb too

[fallow sentinel]

Headshot bully

[naive holly]

Faceshot count?

[fallow sentinel]

jesus ur like john wick

[graceful creek]

how do you put things in inventory

[fallow sentinel]

how do you combat this

hes holding position lol

[rancid sluice]

knock him over

[graceful creek]

how do you put things in inventory

[naive holly]

While holding something, hold Q/E to sheath it and it'll go in your weapon wheel

[fallow sentinel]

ive kicked him many time

[rancid sluice]

Push

[naive holly]

This seems like that bug where if they lose an arm they stand there crying and don't yield

Anyway halfsword

[graceful creek]

aight bet

[fallow sentinel]

i got him

[naive holly]

Gets around shield

[graceful creek]

appreciate it

reclaimer thanks

[naive holly]

Np

[fallow sentinel]

ass got handed to me

[fallow sentinel]

one armed willie

[naive holly]

You're telling me brother

[young ledge]

Did they nerf Plancon or something?

[naive holly]

Definitely does not peirce as easy with the side spikes

[young ledge]

Yeah

Fuck yes

Before just closing distance was a hazard

[viral latch]

Hello guys, I'm new to the game, I'm having a real blast, but quick question : how do I beat this fucker ? Any tips on what gear to use ?

[naive holly]

Which fucker

[torpid mortar]

minor chest wound

[viral latch]

Wait for some reason the screen didn't load

the Commoner boss

tall black guy

[pearl ferry]

he's black?

[viral latch]

nah just his clothes

[rancid sluice]

The easiest way is to downgrade to peasant and use a pitchfork

[young ledge]

Welcome. This game is like crack cocaine.

[viral latch]

you can really downgrade and fight at commoner as a peasant ??

[young ledge]

I've never sunk so many hours into any game this early in dev before

[viral latch]

true, really the first two hours of me discovering was just bursting out laughing my ass off

[young ledge]

That's for sure the beginner stage

But after many hours

You will become a master swordsman

and nothing is more satisfying

[fallow sentinel]

im doing gauntlet as peasant

[young ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/aki-akihayakawa-chainsaw-man-csm-gif-22133516

[rancid sluice]

Yeah for sure. Pitchfork is pretty op

[naive holly]

Use t2 pitchfork.

Hold alt to keep a stabbing stance - he will back up into the fence and drop his guard.

Or just be patient and land a good hit off of a whiff

Hes definitely the hardest boss

[rancid sluice]

All the other bosses are easy in comparison

[viral latch]

Yeah well I find I'm doing pretty good in 1v1 commoner, but as soon as I fight the tall guy dressed in black with his longsword, I shit you not he legit decapitated me first hit he landed on me, three times in a row when I fought him

[young ledge]

Which boss are you talking about

[rancid sluice]

t3

[viral latch]

what about the hoe ?

[young ledge]

Ahh

[rancid sluice]

Hoe would also work but your aim has to be pretty solid

[viral latch]

thanks for the tip I'll definitely try it out

[naive holly]

Gl soldier. I might try as just a farmer w knife but no weapon sounds insane

[viral latch]

I managed to reach militia just one time, but I died first fight and died in purgatory

[pearl ferry]

2v1

[viral latch]

damn

man

it actually did the trick

first try..

[young ledge]

Gj

[viral latch]

idk why i can't send a screen shot but the photo I took is really funny

thanks a lot for the pitchfork tip

I sent it in photography

[rancid sluice]

It's cheap but it works

Even now I've been playing for ages and I still struggle with beating him any other way

[viral latch]

militia is hard... damn

[naive holly]

Billhook

[torpid mortar]

fighting spirit

[naive holly]

Keep the range

[torpid mortar]

dreams crushed

[lethal crag]

also nose crushed

[torpid mortar]

true

[fallow sentinel]

favourite weapon

lantern is OP

[rancid sluice]

idk how to phrase it any other way but I feel like militia tier is the first tier where you truly gotta start fighting defensively

Especially now that everybody's got polearms and shit

[viral latch]

so you're not the one advancing towards the enemy and hoping he ragdolls into the fence anymore ?

[rancid sluice]

I mean kicking is still on the menu 🙂

[viral latch]

this fucker again I swear. I'm sure he will be touching me in my sleep tonight

[rancid sluice]

Kicking gets more and more useful honestly

[torpid mortar]

me when i rotate with my punch.

[marsh sandal]

The thin longsword, lighter and easier stabs

[fallow sentinel]

Nah u can angro any polearm as begger its only the 3rd Boss and man at arms that are very difficult but always choose fast kicking if u are doing begger runs like me

[rancid sluice]

One good-timed kick in the later tiers basically turns enemy willies into cooked noodles

[fallow sentinel]

pretty much knight is easy but u have to scum with G to avoid abyss

or just atl + f4

[lavish sapphire]

can u break ankles and wrists?

[fallow sentinel]

u can break all bones

[lavish sapphire]

how tho i can only break knees and elbows and necks

[rancid sluice]

It's not easy

Honestly probably easier to cut those off lmao

[pearl ferry]

same way you break those

they're just smaller targets

[fallow sentinel]

itspossible

everything is possible

[short prairie]

Does anyone actually fight T3 legit?

No fence cheesing?

No spamming and praying?

That guy is ridiculous

[fallow sentinel]

i cant wait until they add duels with little pirate guns

[hallow tusk]

Is there anything past baron in the demo yet? (you know, when you finish "The ultimate challenge" you get baron and it starts u off from peasant again, if u do it again is there something past it?)

[little verge]

There is not.

[fallow sentinel]

doubt it unless they are using T3 classes themselves i only cheese on T3 if im doing a begger run

[hallow tusk]

good to know (i always end up dying at knight after the reset so never found out) thank you

[fallow sentinel]

alt + f4 to not reset

[gilded frigate]

I actually spoke to frank about that same thing, the animations between crawling and some other interactions were just a bit more fluid, I'm expecting it will be touched up so no worries

[tall patio]

guys, how do i make my game stop doing "FATAL ERROR", i reached the final boss, and this just got me upset

[fallow sentinel]

turn blood and gore off

[little verge]

Knight is the last true tier in the combat system. Baron class currently is a challenge mode. Once completed you get to play as the baron the largest Willie available wearing golden armor.

[fallow sentinel]

its brass not gold

[tough yew]

Neat

[opaque creek]

I learned recently I like short sword and dagger cause it compliments my autistic spin attack playstyle

[little verge]

It's secret sauce and under constant change. We will be able to give a more direct answer once the systems in question are finalized. The locomotion animations are under constant development.

[tough yew]

frank has a long road to go

But it’s gonna be good

[viral latch]

overpowered! thank you for the tip

[little verge]

Frank and Angelina are working on the animations together. Willie as always will change and improve, never forget itch.

[opaque creek]

Faster Willie getting up animation

[tough yew]

Ooo don’t assume the second person is on our discord no?

Good to know its not just one man becoming insane trying to make dynamic animations work

[little verge]

She either has not joined the community Discord or is set to hidden.

[little verge]

We has a full team! 12 developers apart of HSG and then 6 people working with HSG from GS. 18 people trying to make HS a success.

We did some math recently lol.

[torpid mortar]

got bored and decided to play around with random stuff

[tough yew]

yee i know, I just thought frank was the only person dabbling in the really technical aspects of half sword

[marsh sandal]

Most of my commoner kills are either stabs, decaps, or headbutts

[opaque creek]

Headbutts are criminally underrated

[dapper coral]

Hope to see more customization to loadout composition

[opaque creek]

Any head clash kills someone

[dapper coral]

Would be fun to fight with a wider variety of weapons without armor for onself or opponents

[marsh sandal]

My coolest kills are when I lose both arms and I kick my way to victory against a long sword guy

[opaque creek]

Losing limbs just makes your kicks stronger

[hallow tusk]

yeah, find it fun smashing them with that giant "Knightly Pollaxe" and Sword

[opaque creek]

Also hope they add weight compensation for shorter Willie’s

Would be good balancing

[marsh sandal]

They gotta increase player health tbh

[opaque creek]

Ikr

Medium damage settings are over the top

[tough yew]

Weapons do need to get rebalanced 100%

[marsh sandal]

You can die on low damage to a shoulder slash while willie has a missing arm and multiple slash and stab wounds

[tough yew]

Blunt weapons just make armored opponents a joke, so does greatsword

[opaque creek]

On medium damage it feels like when either person touches each other they just die

[little verge]

We have Deforp and Fiberman also helping with the tech end stuff. Pretty much everyone wears like three hats lol. Titles are just for their primary responsibilities.

[opaque creek]

So I set mine lower than medium

[marsh sandal]

With the ridiculous death causes it makes me feel like im fencing and not a duel to the death

[pearl ferry]

it is to the death though

[opaque creek]

Multiplayer will not be fun in that case

High damage resistance would make multiplayer much more fun

[pearl ferry]

Sometimes you'll live after something that seems lethal and sometimes small cuts kill ya. that's how it works

[opaque creek]

Since people will be more willing to engage

It’s why I hope they don’t lock the damage settings for online

[marsh sandal]

I once died to a leg stab or smth, but I somehow didn’t die with a sword going into my brain

[dapper coral]

Damage is definitely wack sometimes

[opaque creek]

Legs have too many arteries tbf

[short prairie]

How many hours do you guys have in the game so far? Wondering if anyone has hit 1000 already

I’ve seen 300s already

[opaque creek]

What if I just leave the game open while I go to work

[short prairie]

HAHA

[opaque creek]

Rack up hundreds more hours

[marsh sandal]

I hate when I lose arms because my character will no longer fight and cover the cut. And I hate losing legs because it basically confines you to the floor

[dapper coral]

I too am confined to the floor without legs

[opaque creek]

I know he just holds his wound like a soy

[pearl ferry]

I think if you lose a leg then you have more problems to worry about other than being on the floor

[woven granite]

Fr, does he not know hes bout to die?

[marsh sandal]

While mf over there with a missing arm and hand kill wants to kill me

[tough yew]

me when a realistic simulation actually works out like one (most of the times)

[woven granite]

Swing fucker, swing!

[woven granite]

so realistic when my 2 handed pole phases through my back and causes me to trip over smashing my skull off the floor leaving me unconcious.

[tough yew]

heh that’s why i said most of the times

[woven granite]

xD

the rest might be pretty realistic to be fair

just not the pole clipping part

[tough yew]

yeah the game has a lot of issues but most of them aren’t entirely game breaking

[woven granite]

honestly the most annoying ones for me so far are when enemy weapons graze you and remove all motor function.

Playing the final challenge and having that fuck my arms is the worse thing

[tawdry vale]

He's been disarmed

[tough yew]

You should regain health when killing someone in that

[tawdry vale]

[woven granite]

if they already dead though it doesnt seem to help

[opaque creek]

Regrows limbs after each kill

[woven granite]

that real?

[tough yew]

I’m saying that ad a suggestion, unfortunately that isn’t an actual thing lol

[woven granite]

ah

yeah

it'd be nice, its hard as fuck already between the buggy weapons and crashes

[opaque creek]

Isn’t there passive regenerative healing for minor injuries?

[pearl ferry]

not even minor

[woven granite]

in abyss i notice it might be a bit

[pearl ferry]

sometimes if your arm breaks or something it'll slowly heal over time in abyss

[opaque creek]

I remember running away in ult challenge and the red slowly disappearing

[woven granite]

could be placebo

[tough yew]

In abyss it was an actual thing back then

[pearl ferry]

it still is

you still heal

[tough yew]

Im not entirely sure if its on 0.5 still
