halfsword-chat-⚔

[deep shale]

lets list out offline games which are not dead yet

[fallow sentinel]

it will never die even if its not multiplayer

[soft osprey]

Halfsword will be fine without multiplayer

[vital pawn]

Tbh I think multiplayer could be the death of half sword

[proven verge]

I put 105 hours into the playtest within 2 weeks of getting it, thats how addicting this shit is.

[vital pawn]

Unless they find a way to stop cheaters and make it balanced

[dusty pelican]

I get the game is fun and all but get a life dawg

[lunar oxide]

Nah, I think multiplayer would be great. The potential is amazing.

[dusky ivy]

If multiplayer isn't a priority, unfortunately it doesn't matter how many updates it has had as long as it's a passing game.

[lunar oxide]

It just doesn't necessarily need it.

[soft osprey]

Shut up nerd!!!!

[jolly gorge]

the game is genuinely just fun, nothing else I can say about it. More content would be pretty cool though

[jolly gorge]

then again, still not fully out so I got high hopes for it

[soft osprey]

Games don’t have to last 20 years lol

[vital pawn]

I agree, I’d love a few options instead of a chance of getting carnage instead of stupid spoilance

[dusty pelican]

Half sword should have a battle pass for longer player retention and to keep the game alive

[vital pawn]

Whattt

[solemn holly]

this is just a demo to show the combat and gore system

[fallow sentinel]

stalker, skyrim, gta 4, oblivion, half life, the witcher, cyberpunk, fallout, max payne and many more

[vital pawn]

a battle pass?

[solemn holly]

more content is planned for early access

[proven verge]

I agree, there also should be a DRM so you can only play the game with an internet connection.

[soft osprey]

I demand micro transnations

[dusty pelican]

Stupid mf

[soft osprey]

Nice

Typo

I’m not fixing

[vital pawn]

Cosmetics 🤑🤑🤑

[fallow sentinel]

games like this never die due to the inovation and fun gameplay

[jolly gorge]

thats what also makes it a lot more likely to get players in my eyes, the demo already has a quite big community

[dusky ivy]

If you create an unviable game, it's better not to create it. My opinion.

[soft osprey]

Indeed it is your opinion

[lunar oxide]

Let's make the game more realistic and have you psy for your gear.

[modern valve]

How does the AI wind up so fast with scythes lol

[vital pawn]

Do big studios am I right or am I right guys?

[jolly gorge]

what makes the game unviable

[lunar oxide]

Corporate mindset. Touch grass.

[dusky ivy]

And several others from what I'm reading 😄

[soft osprey]

That’s great!

[solemn holly]

5000 in-game WillieBux™️ for only $89.99! limited time deal! (best value!)

[fallow sentinel]

the funny thing is he doesnt know that people go back to all kinds of crazy games for nostalgia

[dusty pelican]

Wich fucking chat you reading bro

[naive holly]

I still fucking play spore and civ 5 lmfaoo

[proven verge]

Bro I still play fucking mount and blade warband like what are you talking about

[soft osprey]

It’s alright everyone’s entitled to their opinion even if they’re objectively WRONG DAMNIT

[vital pawn]

Willie-bux gift cards in Walmart’s now!

[naive holly]

Everyone is entitled to they opinion, even me and my opinion on yours lmao

[soft osprey]

Actually I changed my mind. Only my opinion is correct and allowed

[dusky ivy]

Anyway, the reason is not to confront but to exchange ideas. After all, it's a Discord and that's what it's for, too, isn't it?

[dusty pelican]

Sir moai hop on hd2

[modern valve]

Wild how much control you seem to have. Ive got a lot to learn

[jolly gorge]

I'm quite curious on what makes the game 'unviable', there are PLENTY of offline games that have stayed alive for literal decades, like doom 1993

[fallow sentinel]

south americans need a game to be multiplayer or they have an absurd opinion on them lmao

[naive holly]

Moai pls I love you don't do this to me

[jolly gorge]

or the half life series

[soft osprey]

Normally. Halfcord is very defensive about halfsword lol

[lunar oxide]

Maybe, but you didn't add anything. You just came in dropped an opinion and said that you're objectively right. Where's the nuance?

[fallow sentinel]

i still play doom mods to this day lmao

[jolly gorge]

yeah lol, 2025 and still thousands of WADS being dropped every day

very far from 'dead'

[fallow sentinel]

the ashes series is where its at lol

[dusky ivy]

I said the game has potential, but if you ever have an online multiplayer mode, it will be recorded in no time, it has the good and constructive criticism.

[fallow sentinel]

if u havent played or heard of it you would fall in love with it

[vital pawn]

#photography📷 message guys look at this it’s so funy

[hexed pasture]

how tf do i get tech demo?

[solemn holly]

you download it on steam

[vital pawn]

big naked Willie LOL

[fallow sentinel]

u said word for word it will be dead due not having multiplayer

[hexed pasture]

i click it it aint work

[solemn holly]

that means the demo is already in your library

you would need to download it from there

[jolly gorge]

willie is packing

[hexed pasture]

hmm

[vital pawn]

I agree

[vital pawn]

he got fat cheeks too

[hexed pasture]

i saw diffrent names and got a TOUCH confused

[lunar oxide]

And that's where the problems start. You didn't say it would be nice to have multiplayer. You down right declared that it needed it, deeming it "unviable."

[fallow sentinel]

KYO — 01:22
Hi, I'm from Argentina. Is this game still not available online? KYO — 01:23
Good game, unfortunately if it's not online it will die soon.

[dusky ivy]

With all due respect, if you don't want to receive outside opinions, create a Discord with your friend and talk privately. Just give your opinion, good and bad. That's all, my dear.

[vital pawn]

guys petition to add a chicken into the game called chicken?

[fallow sentinel]

that wasnt an opinion that was a statement

[lunar oxide]

Which is just completely wrong, so many games are singleplayer and still have a dedicated fan base attached to them.

[dusky ivy]

In actual words, if a game today in 2025 doesn't have multiplayer, its trajectory is short.

[fallow sentinel]

thats not true

[lunar oxide]

Bad take. It literally isn't.

[proven verge]

What evidence supports that.

[fallow sentinel]

source - trust me bro

[soft osprey]

Like I said, halfcord is very defensive over halfsword lol

[lunar oxide]

I love outside opinions! But they need to actually be constructive.

Not this garbage.

[fallow sentinel]

when it releases it will have more of a player base than its got rn

[soft osprey]

If you want to make your opinion heard, make a #1047240101152960525 post because you will not get what you’re looking for in chat

[dusky ivy]

From what I see, they're targeting a small audience, which is why this game isn't doing well lately. Best regards, and see you soon 🙂

[soft osprey]

Mfw halfsword is bigger now than it ever has been

[dusty pelican]

I agree with you KYO. Game kinda shit

[fallow sentinel]

its supposed to its for ppl with mental health issues

[proven verge]

How is the game not doing well? It's free....and has been free. It's also gotten 5 million downloads so again, what evidence backs that?

[lunar oxide]

Halfsword is kinda niche, but I think that's fine.

The game still has broad appeal

[soft osprey]

He already left

[dusty pelican]

Don't listen to the haters KYO

[dusty pelican]

The server?

[soft osprey]

Yeah lol

[lunar oxide]

Just not enough to keep everyone invested as long as some of us have.

[dusty pelican]

Damn rip

[jolly gorge]

"isn't doing well lately"
6k playing 35 minutes ago for a demo

[dusty pelican]

Yall bullied him away

[soft osprey]

As per usual

[fallow sentinel]

if they charged me $100 for it i'd still buy it for myself and my friends

[dusky ivy]

Bye.

[soft osprey]

He’s back? To say bue

[rancid sluice]

I think the game stops being niche when jerma streams it but whatever

[dusty pelican]

Nooo

Wait

Stay here

[soft osprey]

Hahaha that’s silly

[fallow sentinel]

KYO has left the chat]

[soft osprey]

Bro comes back to say bye, respect

[dusty pelican]

I'll miss you dearly

[lunar oxide]

That's just shill behavior bro. Game is good though.

[dusty pelican]

Holy glaze

[lunar oxide]

Love the devs, but that's because they act like actual people.

[proven verge]

There are more people playing the halfsword demo currently than Star Wars Battlefront 2 lol

[fallow sentinel]

they listen to the fan base

[dusty pelican]

They kinda don't alot

[soft osprey]

I just want early access already. We only have 5% of the game in the demo, I need MORE

[fallow sentinel]

now all i want from them is kings guard weapons added

[soft osprey]

What? Like every patch that gets pushed out was community driven

[fallow sentinel]

but everything that matters is what we get

[dusty pelican]

Hasn't the most requested update been custom loadouts for like months and months

[soft osprey]

Frank put out like 5 patches in 3 days for people’s complaints

[rancid sluice]

Custom loadouts are part of the main game bozo

[soft osprey]

Which will be coming in early access most likely

[dusty pelican]

Censoring that is wild

Nah Moai let me post that

[soft osprey]

I’m confused now lol

[fallow sentinel]

i can see 0.6 update having alot of customisation options

[rancid sluice]

Like I get you can be annoyed that you can't do it in the demo, but it's literally a feature on the steam page lol

maybe they don't want to give you everything for free

[dusty pelican]

Yea my bad you're right

[opal glen]

Yes i am always right

[dusty pelican]

You weren't even included in the discussion

[rancid sluice]

I don't intend to come off as a dickrider or anything I realize I probably don't need to defend the devs this much

[soft osprey]

Yes, you do need to.

[rancid sluice]

yes sire, my life for halfsword

[lean niche]

⚠️WIP/TESTS⚠️

[golden shell]

I hope they add cannibalism to the game soon

[rancid sluice]

yeah, fuck the multiplayer discussion, let's talk about the real necessities lol

[jolly gorge]

halfsword pro league

[jolly gorge]

there will probably be something on nexus mods soon enough

just you wait

[dusty pelican]

Nah

[restive garnet]

Gestern um uhr

[dusty pelican]

You literally had the letters and the words right there

[fallow sentinel]

anything to have map selector back

[restive garnet]

German

[dusty pelican]

Yea

[restive garnet]

Yesterday

At

Hour

[dusty pelican]

Like 40% of half sword players are german ngl

[rancid sluice]

oh. that's great, son.

[restive garnet]

Most are muricahn

[rancid sluice]

Man I haven't watched the first season in a while give me a break

[wary crow]

I beat up the boss enough that it crashed my game

[pearl ferry]

what kind of sekiro power witcher 3 power is this

[vapid hull]

Holy fuckk who drew your pfp omggg

[fallow sentinel]

when will executioner axe return

[pearl ferry]

cheeruppup

[vapid hull]

Nice nice nice !!! Will look them up later!

[torpid mortar]

slipped a lil

[golden shell]

😱

[soft kelp]

yall how do i reset my save data, i was fucking around in half sword enhancer till i got to the ultimate challenge and i decided to stop there but the game lowkey does not elt me go back

i dont feel like reinstalling this

[restive garnet]

I think he's bleeding

[soft kelp]

actually scratch that

[blazing warren]

Trve

[soft kelp]

honestly bro

commoner boss is the only really hard one

apart from baron ofc

[low geode]

there was a map selector?

[soft kelp]

like every other boss has pretty much the same gear as u

but then they throw fucking vlad the impaler at you

theres pretty much no safe way to approach him

like itd be fine if he wasnt using a greatsword bro

[novel dirge]

diff maps???

[fair summit]

i just wanted to say that attaching enemies heads like weapons to the outfit would be cool

[torpid mortar]

body went to heaven even before he did

[glass quiver]

He ascends to meet thy father

[novel dirge]

just discovered this nasty combo

the second swing is just as a failsafe

but the first one should have enough power to end the dual

duel*

[glass quiver]

Give that man a tampon JEEZ

Thats legit my fiance nearly every other month 😭

[torpid mortar]

little nibble

[glass quiver]

E

[torpid mortar]

the whole shot:

[glass quiver]

Funkytown memories

[modern valve]

:/ I still cant figure out how to slash instead of bashing their temple with my wrist when im trying to cut their throat

[glass quiver]

Willie got a little hungy

[glass quiver]

Pre build it

[modern valve]

not sure what this terminology means

[glass quiver]

like give it buildup before you slice

[golden shell]

I hope they add being able to force hats onto people

[torpid mortar]

willie can throw about 6 haymakers before falling over due to the amount of momentum built up behind his arms

[fair summit]

abyss fence is actually goated, crawled thru it and saved me from the schyte

[blazing warren]

Yeah in Itch.io version of Half sword

[torpid mortar]

the followup will be deadly

i missed the fucking followup

[modern valve]

Also, im happy with a challenge, but theres so many deaths where they hit me with their blunt side on a backswing with no inertia but it one taps me after ive beaten them to bloody bits

[torpid mortar]

made up for the follow up whiff

[modern valve]

Like im inside the guys guard, he whiffed hard, pulling your arms back up after a big swing has almost no momentum, but its one tapping me

[novel dirge]

what weapon?

[modern valve]

For the most part its been the 2h axe guy because i dont get much past him, he does a big overhead, whiffs, i move in for a counter/punish, and the handle hits me on the way back up with no momentum and kills me

[pearl ferry]

axe just has a black hole running along its edge

if it touches you you explode

[novel dirge]

yeah you gotta be careful with 2h axes

[modern valve]

the back of the axe head is flat though, so are the sides :/

[torpid mortar]

does willie vape

[novel dirge]

yeah but that axe head has a ton of weight and inerta

[modern valve]

not when its being picked up from the ground

[novel dirge]

wdym?

[pearl ferry]

did u record i wanna see

[torpid mortar]

why he look like that

[modern valve]

think about it, what has more force? 2 hands, pulled back, overhead, leverage, gravity

vs axe head in the ground, pulling, no leverage, fighting gravity

[torpid mortar]

why is he looking at me like i know something i shouldnt

[novel dirge]

ahhh okay

i get that but it still will have alot of power behind it

because the guy is bigger and stronger than ur guy

[modern valve]

I dont think were on the same page then

[novel dirge]

my advice is to stay close to him so that the front of back of his axe cant hit you

basically bum rush him

i can show u what i mean one sec

[modern valve]

Brother there is no amount of strength that can make a pulling motion from the ground anywhere close to the amount of force generated with leverage and gravity

thats all im saying

[novel dirge]

your talking about the first boss right?

[torpid mortar]

that body blow

had everything put into it

[modern valve]

Yes, im ok with there being a way to cheese the fight, my issue is that picking up a heavy axe hasnt nearly the force of a downswing

[novel dirge]

let him swing or block it, then rush in and stay close to his body to avoid his axe

[modern valve]

Like theres a reason when someone chops wood

they chop down not up

[novel dirge]

gotta admit though irl getting hit like how your talking would hurt and possibly be lethal

[modern valve]

brother

[novel dirge]

what?

[naive holly]

That second dagger was indeed personal

[granite marlin]

All i want for christmas is a Brawl gamemode

[novel dirge]

damn why u do him like that 😭

[novel dirge]

thats one way to do it

[naive holly]

Spear user. One to the leg wasn't enough to fuel my bloodlust

[novel dirge]

lmao fair

[modern valve]

I dont know what to say man. Go outside, take an axe, try cutting a branch off of a tree by pulling upward and hitting the branch with the flat back of an axe/ blunt handle. It wont work. Then use an overhead chop on the same branch, suddenly the blade is connecting and it cuts through

[pearl ferry]

hes so fun to bully

[novel dirge]

no dude i get it it wont break a branch because its hard but it will break you because your made of flesh and bone

[modern valve]

I get it, this is a game, the physics arent 1 to 1

[proven verge]

Which axe we talking about

[novel dirge]

boos

boss

[novel dirge]

thats just mean

[modern valve]

a fire axe a wood chopping axe a regular old axe

[pearl ferry]

2h axe and the game makes it very strong. yes. thjats just the game engine at work'

[stoic sedge]

ngl it'd be nice to have a button to disable falling over i mean it's fine but sometimes it breaks immersion so much

[modern valve]

it could be a fucking handaxe

[stoic sedge]

like i'd be just walkign and willies foot just goes around the other leg and then up and down his throat out the other side

[pearl ferry]

Yea if it's top heavy it will eviscerate you on touch. That's how the game works.

[proven verge]

We a long ways from that

[modern valve]

the upward pulling motion with the blunt end will never ever do close to the same thing

[stoic sedge]

isnt that just spoilance

[golden shell]

[novel dirge]

^

[stoic sedge]

you spin me right round

[modern valve]

Axe head in the ground. Youre pulling it back up, fighting gravity, inertia, the pressure of the ground surrounding the axe head

[pearl ferry]

No no. I'm talking about the game. I'm not going on about this gravity argument. The game just works based on weight, the weighter it is the more damage on impact. Doesn't matter if it's blunt or not.

And doesn't matter if it's going up or down

[novel dirge]

nice hands

[modern valve]

theres no way you can generate enough upward force to do any sort of damage there

[pearl ferry]

I mean I can boot up a two handed axe and do the same thing

[novel dirge]

a axe doesnt weight that much

maybe 10 15 pounds

[stoic sedge]

that hand swich is cool i gotta try that

[golden shell]

Truth nuke by greasyprostate24

[modern valve]

ok the motion of taking an axe, pulling it over your head with both fucking hands, using your entire body

[stoic sedge]

also ngl recently i feel like first person is more fun

[modern valve]

you plant your feet, you extend your arms, you flex your back

[stoic sedge]

it's more intense and blocking feels better and it feelsl ike kingdom come

[stoic sedge]

kobe

also why the other willie is sugging off

[modern valve]

youre able to generate an incredible amount of force because of physics

[golden shell]

Willie sucking off willie

[modern valve]

have you ever seen a boxer knock the opponent out with a backhand?

[modern valve]

no, because you cant generate enough force with a pulling motion as you can by planting your feet and putting your entire weight behind a punch

[novel dirge]

what a hit

[novel dirge]

if there is ever a 2v2 mode wanna be a duo

[torpid mortar]

you can but alright

[golden shell]

U certainly can knock someone out with a backhand

[modern valve]

please show me

[proven verge]

Sure bro

[golden shell]

Just look it up

[novel dirge]

bet

[modern valve]

Im thrilled to be wrong

[pearl ferry]

i mean you can

[modern valve]

why dont baseball pitchers turn around and throw the ball backward with a pulling motion?

[golden shell]

The ball would be more inaccurate from that kind of release

[novel dirge]

[stoic sedge]

gotta try fpv sometimes

[golden shell]

Holy link

[modern valve]

yea no shit and have a fraction of the force behind it

[novel dirge]

backhand to jaw

[golden shell]

No it could still be very forceful

Just not accurate

[modern valve]

holy fuck lol

[steady carbon]

you can actually and this is the point of matadors on poleaxe and some billhook attacks and a lot of openers with longswords

[proven verge]

TWIST IT

[full moon]

guys where the hell did the freemode ranks go

[novel dirge]

yeah mb

[modern valve]

im referring specifically to an axe head being pulled out of the fucking ground lol

[steady carbon]

hello every1 im 3 minutes old,,,

[novel dirge]

click freemode

make sure you not in gauntlet

[full moon]

i literally am in freemode

[steady carbon]

i mean if u can time it its good for knocking their teeth out

[pearl ferry]

hi @steady carbon i cant say ur name or i get blocked

[torpid mortar]

hold on explain what you were going on about because i thought you were talking about fist shit

[steady carbon]

lol

[torpid mortar]

i was about to rant about gripping bullshit

[pearl ferry]

he was upset 2h axe boss guy killed him because of axe

[proven verge]

it feels brutal

[pearl ferry]

and he said it wouldnt be possible to bring the axe up from the ground with enough force to kill him

[modern valve]

The very base of my argument is that the upward motion of an axe being pulled out of the ground after a whiffed overhead shouldnt be one shotting with the blunt handle or the flat back or side of the axe head

[pearl ferry]

and then some other guy said something and then it just devolved into irl physics

lol

[steady carbon]

i mean its a big piece of metal hitting you in the face

wtf do u mean

[stoic sedge]

IT DOES it's like you're actually crashing into willie

[pearl ferry]

it'll one shot you it does not take much effort to knock someone out with a piece of metal

[torpid mortar]

depends on your settings, itll very easily rock your shit if you have them on normal if it hits you in the right way

it is a solid metal object hitting your chin.

[steady carbon]

swords cut at pedestrian speeds too, wait till u see how hilariously slow people actually swing swords outside of fencing

[modern valve]

its not hitting my chin its brushing my leg or arm on the way back up

[torpid mortar]

well then you shouldve been fine

at worst the axe head cuts you

[modern valve]

well my body in pieces says otherwise

[torpid mortar]

or your entire arm off

[modern valve]

how does a blunt object cut

[torpid mortar]

i meant the fucking axe head turning and cutting you

damn

[steady carbon]

theres a cutting face on weapons, if they hit you at a speed that can cut the character they will cut you

thats how the game works

[pearl ferry]

is this what happened to you

[modern valve]

Fuck, go outside, take an axe, turn it around, and bash a piece of wood

[pearl ferry]

bro

then go outside

[golden shell]

If you were cut by the blunt part of a weapon then that’s just tough shit the game decided to register it as a dismemberment

[modern valve]

youll make a dent but it wont cut

[steady carbon]

not necessarily even a speed, more just like a force

[pearl ferry]

its a damn game lol

[golden shell]

They didn’t code it so they blunt ends of an axe cut you on purpose

[torpid mortar]

the fucking axe head turning so its on the sharp end

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/859847137382236221/1084492501005648013/Screenshot_20230213-083826_YouTube.gif

[steady carbon]

you need to treat the cutting faces of weapons in this game as death zones

you cant expect to get hit by them even accidentally and just be fine

[modern valve]

What are you talking about? The blunt back side of an axe head has no blade, it physically cannot cut

[granite marlin]

No i want it to just be fists

[steady carbon]

the games physics based, it glitches out constantly

[torpid mortar]

its like

[dusty bobcat]

physics is horribe since update so many new glitches

[torpid mortar]

even if they whiff a punch

you gotta worry about the elbow

[dusty bobcat]

i just flew out the map from a kick lmao

[torpid mortar]

because it can hit you

[modern valve]

come on man.

[steady carbon]

comon man

[torpid mortar]

I SAID

TWICE

[steady carbon]

comon man,

[torpid mortar]

THAT IT CAN FUCKING TURN

[steady carbon]

cornpop was a bad dude

[torpid mortar]

NOT THE BACK OF THE AXE WILL CUT YOU

[modern valve]

omg lol

[torpid mortar]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/859847137382236221/1084492501005648013/Screenshot_20230213-083826_YouTube.gif

[pearl ferry]

you began complaining about the game and when people told you why the game works like that you ignore it to go back to this dumb axe argument

keep going

I wanna see

[modern valve]

Blunt is sharp got it

[golden shell]

Cope

[steady carbon]

copies

[modern valve]

pulling is just as strong as pushing got it

[torpid mortar]

a sharp side is a blunt side? got it

[modern valve]

leverage means nothing got it

[steady carbon]

yo mama means nothing

[pearl ferry]

yea now it's just sounding like skill issue

[torpid mortar]

this guy is racking my fucking brain

[steady carbon]

cornpop was a bad dude

[modern valve]

its fucking physics holy shit lol

[steady carbon]

when game isnt real life,,,,

[modern valve]

its math, it cant be wrong

[pearl ferry]

bro it's a game in demo stage the physics wont work sometimes

[modern valve]

flat shit doesnt cut

[pearl ferry]

idk what's so hard to comprehend

[golden shell]

Do u think physics based games have perfect 1:1 physics with real life

[modern valve]

pulls generate less force than pushes

[steady carbon]

videogame not real lif e ,, ,,???

now ay....

[pearl ferry]

he's gone crazy

[modern valve]

like this isnt even advanced knowledge

[pearl ferry]

he's just talking to himself now

[modern valve]

I get it you guys are having fun trolling and shit

[novel dirge]

are we deaduzz still talking about the axe

[pearl ferry]

the axe is a black hole

understand it

[steady carbon]

axes r dumb anyway shut up nerdsss

[modern valve]

Perfect example actually

[pearl ferry]

get over it

it wont be fixed for 3 more months

Enjoy it while it lasts

[modern valve]

Absolutely zero momentum

[pearl ferry]

Yup

That's how the axe works

And how the spears work sometimes too

[steady carbon]

me when i take 4 pounds of metal to my teeth and im breaking the laws of physics by immediately dying

[modern valve]

idk then

[pearl ferry]

U just gotta understand the game physics and you'll get the hang of it

[steady carbon]

this oen is actually fair though

hes pushing his wrist into the blade

of course its gonna cut him

[modern valve]

For being a physics based game as advertised the physics are completely fucked up lol

[steady carbon]

blade meets wrist

of course wrist loses

[proven verge]

Hes hacking and whacking and slashing

[pearl ferry]

ok to be fair the axe like magnetized to his hand lol

[pearl ferry]

Still works to a fun enough level most of the time soo it's alright

[steady carbon]

u guys gotta play armoured more and youll learn y the physics r the way they r right now

[pearl ferry]

I play armored don't worry

[steady carbon]

theyd need two entirely different physics systems to make both playable at this point

[torpid mortar]

this fucker actually pulled a final attack on me

[pearl ferry]

both are fun with the physics as is

[modern valve]

It def needs a lot more time in the oven. you fellas have a good one

[steady carbon]

you mean the game that isnt even in pre alpha

[pearl ferry]

skill issue

[steady carbon]

needs more time in the oven

[pearl ferry]

it's a demo brah

[proven verge]

bonk.....bonk

[steady carbon]

the game in pre-pre-alpha

[pearl ferry]

come back in 2 years if it bothers u that much

[proven verge]

Its free too

[novel dirge]

how do you keep getting in these situations

[novel dirge]

lmaooooo

what are we thinking?

[torpid mortar]

i clipped his chin and he tried to jump off the ground and kick mine

[novel dirge]

lmaooo

[astral adder]

The shield thing soldiers wear on their shoulder makes flesh sounds when I hit it

[pearl ferry]

Yeahh it's made up of dead willies

[torpid mortar]

fuck your clip

that discord notification made me think i got a ping

[novel dirge]

fuck you i didnt even reply to you

oh wait

i did

oops

[bleak blaze]

It'd be awesome for some of the higher level knights to have some engraving on their armor.

[novel dirge]

that would be tuff

[novel dirge]

what is guy thinking

[novel dirge]

aura

[silent stag]

What if half sword gets the same fate as exanima

[idle bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/i-hate-this-i-hate-this-fucking-shit-sopranos-tony-soprano-gif-27638088

[proven verge]

I brokeded this game

[silent stag]

I wonder how the EA will be

[coarse remnant]

how do u even dodge back

😭

[pearl ferry]

hold shift and then press s

[coarse remnant]

oh i thought it was smth else cuz of the fov

[pearl ferry]

it looks exaggerated because they're pushing themselves with the momentum of the polearm as they pull it back

[coarse remnant]

looks way faster

[coarse remnant]

ah ok

[silent stag]

Did he really dodge that looks like a normal back step for me ngl

What I normally do is twisting the camera and go backwards so I gaslight myself into believing I did a super big backwards dash

[coarse remnant]

ts is probably the best combat game ive played

played this shit for 5 hours today

[pearl ferry]

you can do nero dodges

[coarse remnant]

fps absolutely stinks but its wtv

[silent stag]

Imagine finally landing an overhead just for the game deciding the axe will be blunt this time

I would have already killed myself

[pearl ferry]

axe overheads are pretty easy to land

[cursive shale]

imma just set this up near my neck dont mind me

[silent stag]

Still pretty risky since the npc movements are sometimes snappy

So that guy could've stabbed you in the gut while you were with your arms in the air

[coarse remnant]

the game will look like genuine ass

it'll also only be 30 on the 1v1 mode wtv its called

[silent stag]

A potato with a graphics card*

[coarse remnant]

anything with more than 1 enemy will make it drop to 3 fps

[cursive shale]

the blood also doesnt help either

[coarse remnant]

For it to even run playable without a gpu you'd have to manually go to user settings and change the resolution scale to 30dawg 😭

[cursive shale]

lol

[silent stag]

Tried to run the game on my friend's pc with integrated intel graphics and I just wanted to stop existing

[silent stag]

Anything below high and 1080p looks straight ass

[coarse remnant]

Bro im having ot play on low

to

😭

laptop 1650 ti going till 2030

🔥

Had this thing since 2020 its staying for 5 more

trust

[cursive shale]

im running low on 6750xt

lmao

[silent stag]

Whenever I play on medium I just slap this reshade on so atleast it has style

[coarse remnant]

whats ur cpu

[quasi gale]

big willie vs baron i think baron might be in trouble

[silent stag]

What cpu do you have boy, even on my gtx 1650 high runs fine

[coarse remnant]

Where can you download mods for this? nexus?

[cursive shale]

r5 5600x

[silent stag]

I made it myself

With reshade program

[cursive shale]

no im running low for more framerate

[coarse remnant]

oh nice

[proven verge]

TELL ME THIS IS NOT

IT

[silent stag]

For what gang

[coarse remnant]

you should release that shit i'd get that 😭 anything for medium to not look horrible

[cursive shale]

eh

less delay

[coarse remnant]

Gotta get that 200 fps

like its a competitive shooter

😭

[silent stag]

Genuinely for what, having more fps than your refresh rate is gonna make weapon control worse most of the time btw

[coarse remnant]

Half sword = CS2

[cursive shale]

feels sluggish not having above 120

[silent stag]

Game behaves differently based on your framerate which sucks

😔

[cursive shale]

i have gsync open so it shoudlnt matter

it syncs to card

[silent stag]

Even then how do you play on low graphics, it's genuinely an eye torture

[coarse remnant]

Bro the 6750xt is better by like 150% or some shit than my card

surely you can run medium atleast at 120

[quasi gale]

rip baron

[silent stag]

A gtx 1650 can run medium at 150 fps or smth so he definetely can go high with 100 fps or more

Since the 6750xt is wayyy more powerful than a 1650

[coarse remnant]

this game has to be more cpu intensive

[silent stag]

(1080P)

[coarse remnant]

whats ur cpu?

[silent stag]

It is

[coarse remnant]

im barely running like 90 fps on low

[silent stag]

I5 9400f

[coarse remnant]

my cpu is real ass

10300h

[silent stag]

What tier

i3, i5, i7, i9

[coarse remnant]

i5-10300h

Yours is a lil better i think like 10%?

little more maybe

[silent stag]

Benchmark sites dont work

[coarse remnant]

Guess it's just how long i've had this

[silent stag]

Thing is yours is a laptop cpu

[coarse remnant]

and also that

[formal chasm]

feint was so good it made bro fall

[silent stag]

Which means its not always performing at max performance

To prevent overheating and stuff

[coarse remnant]

yea its always gonna be a lil less for overheating

so thats probably the big gapo

gap

[silent stag]

You should get an air cooler and play with the laptop plugged

For max perf

What did we learn kids? Dont buy laptops for gaming

[coarse remnant]

Always play with laptop plugged lmao my shit would be SO bad

[coarse remnant]

Didnt get it for gaming

college

[silent stag]

Dang what gpu do you have

[coarse remnant]

1650 ti
may as well get smth i can play on

not getting a pc and laptop

[novel dirge]

im running epic at 50

[coarse remnant]

tbf i dont play many modern games so its still doing fine

[supple bear]

yo

[silent stag]

Modern games are unoptimized slop tbh

[supple bear]

i have a low end pc

[coarse remnant]

unreal engine 5 = gg

[fallow sentinel]

i wish there was mod to enhance particles

[silent stag]

Pc specs?

[supple bear]

me

i got you

[fallow sentinel]

make them crazy for cooler pics like sparks and dust

[novel dirge]

geforce 1660 super ryzen 5

[coarse remnant]

most games that run horribly rn could be optimized much better its just way easier for the devs to add in upscaling + frame gen

[novel dirge]

16 gb of ram

[coarse remnant]

call it a day

[silent stag]

Its funny because compared to other ue 5 games half sword is pretty optimized

[coarse remnant]

yea thats the crazy part 😭

Ready or not is also pretty well optimized its just laziness lowkey

[silent stag]

I wonder how much ram can affect performance

[fallow sentinel]

this game doesnt need it my friend plays this at 30fps on integrated graphics i used to run a gtx 1070 at 70-90fps on the playtest

[tepid geyser]

i managed to duplicate hands somehow

[silent stag]

It still needs some optimization done

[coarse remnant]

i mean most UE5 games in general not half sword

[silent stag]

UC is crashing for EVERYONE

[fallow sentinel]

i have 16gb of ram it only effect UE5 open world games rendering

[novel dirge]

hey if you wanna send me over some more sticks then be my guest

[coarse remnant]

The blood and gore on high kills my fps

[silent stag]

I'm borrowing a friend of mine my gpu and ram

[novel dirge]

or just download some more

[silent stag]

16+8gb for the forbidden dual channel combo

[fallow sentinel]

its usually due to invidia hardware and minimum ram that makes UE5 run like shit

[silent stag]

(It only counts the 8+8 as dual channel and the other 8 does whatever it wants it doesnt care about anything its a lone wolf)

https://tenor.com/view/sigma-lone-wolf-gif-3640295552248639023

[fallow sentinel]

AMD works very well on UE5 gpu wise anyway but my other friend has RTX 4090ti and 128gb ram for game developing that i sometimes help with and he runs this at 60fps on cinematic

[silent stag]

Cinematic is for screenshots

[fallow sentinel]

he plays consistant on cinematic tho lmao

[silent stag]

Also cinematic is just a waste of resources tbh do you wanna see how it looks

[supple bear]

integrated graphics 600

[coarse remnant]

128gb ram is crazy work 😭

[supple bear]

4gb ram

[silent stag]

It looks like this

[fallow sentinel]

i know how it looks i have rtx3060 but runs the game at 45fps so i dont use it i like 120-140fps on epic

[coarse remnant]

Will my ps3 be enough for the full release?

[supple bear]

and intel celeron 42000

[silent stag]

The true setting to make the game look better is changing the render api to dx12

[fallow sentinel]

i play on dx12 lol

[coarse remnant]

What's better for fps on 1650? dx12 or 11?

i assume 11?

[silent stag]

Did you notice the shadows are darker and there is more contrast on everything

Dx11 and dx12 comparison

[zinc field]

pain

[fallow sentinel]

if it was dx9 it would run amazingly

[gaunt sapphire]

take it out

[fallow sentinel]

on an iphone it would on dx9

[zinc field]

no

[gaunt sapphire]

grab it

trust

[silent stag]

Just slap vulkan on it vro I remember it was possible

[coarse remnant]

it cannot be that huge of a difference

😭

[supple bear]

integrated graphics 600 4gb ram and an intel celeron n42000

[zinc field]

no is no

[coarse remnant]

Oh yeah i remember theres some tool to do that

[fallow sentinel]

nah use OpenGL

[coarse remnant]

my hb got me to do that for schedule 1

gonna try that

[zinc field]

reveng

[fallow sentinel]

make a mod that reduces the game to ps1 graphics

[fallow sentinel]

u should be banned having ur game look like this

[zinc field]

its not able to look like that

[supple bear]

how do you attach pics

[zinc field]

i used the camera

and edited it

u cant make ur game deepfried and dogshit

[silent stag]

Not ps1 but I like making the game look crappy on purpose

[zinc field]

i want that

how

[silent stag]

Reshade

[supple bear]

i know

[zinc field]

reshade mod?

[supple bear]

that looks cool

[silent stag]

You install reshade into half sword

And you can do all the post processing bullshit you want to the game

[fallow sentinel]

that actually looks fun

[zinc field]

im gonna make my game yelow

[supple bear]

bro im 13 talking to a bunch of 21 yos

[cursive shale]

ok pogo man i give up

[supple bear]

here my specs integrated graphics 600 4gb ram and an intel celeron n42000

[fallow sentinel]

resolution 640x480 and low graphic preset and ur good to go

[supple bear]

[silent stag]

Here are some screenshots of how it looks at high

[supple bear]

how do you send those

[zinc field]

that looks cool

[zinc field]

i wamtn

giv

[fallow sentinel]

also put ur frame rate uncapped and use vsync

[silent stag]

Bro I did all that in my granny's house where I have my pc

[novel dirge]

backhand upward swing works so well

[silent stag]

Consider it lost media for now

[zinc field]

lobotomy gaming

[supple bear]

how do you put it at unlimited

@fallow sentinel

[silent stag]

Play gladio mori atp

[fallow sentinel]

240 it wont matter coz v sync puts it ur native Hz/ refresh rate

[supple bear]

yall wanna gc

[zinc field]

no

[fallow sentinel]

im gonna assume its 60Hz laptop

[supple bear]

ok

yea

but if i put it at 800 by 600

its 75

[fallow sentinel]

yh you'll run it at 30 but u will only get 5fps in carnage and any other big amount of npc fights

[supple bear]

ok

[silent stag]

You can feel the smoothness of 75hz when you are used to 60hz

[supple bear]

what does borderless do

[zinc field]

make it fulscren

[silent stag]

480p - 50% resolution from the low graphics mode is 240p and its also running at 30 fps? I'd rather go fencing irl atp

[supple bear]

xd

[silent stag]

I mean I'm a "Gameplay over graphics" advocate but 240p at 30 fps is not it gang

[steady carbon]

heres a clean matador overhead im proud of :3

[zinc field]

ok?

[silent stag]

Not hating but that wasnt a overhead

[steady carbon]

doin ya mom doin doin ya mom

[river steppe]

When starting out a new character do you guys make him as big as possible

[steady carbon]

small guys reach head height more often

with polearms

[cursive shale]

deny the pitchforkman

parry his ass

[supple bear]

yo will reshade make it better

[fallow sentinel]

this is how u play half sword

[fallow sentinel]

probably worse

nvidia filters would make it better

[supple bear]

what abt the cartoon mod

what

[fallow sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

all mods cause problems use at ur own risk i guess

[supple bear]

i have integrated graphics

[cursive shale]

1 frame per?

[fallow sentinel]

huh?

is the clip laggy?

im on 120fps in game lmao

[cursive shale]

its a still frame for me

lmao

[fallow sentinel]

probably discord

discord bugs like that

[supple bear]

you can use nvidia filters on ingrated graphics

integrated

[fallow sentinel]

u can use nvidia on anything dude

[topaz moth]

Is the play test unavailable now? I can’t apply for it on my steam

[supple bear]

ok thx

[cursive shale]

merged with demo

download the demo

[topaz moth]

You can play multiplayer through the demo?

[cursive shale]

no

[fallow sentinel]

its been done

[supple bear]

nah

[fallow sentinel]

for months

[topaz moth]

Ohhhhh damn im late to the party lmao

[fallow sentinel]

0.5 is on demo

they are updating demo frequently

[topaz moth]

Sweet

Thanks yall

[fallow sentinel]

u finally get use this guy

[cursive shale]

just give me a golden dagger

[fallow sentinel]

this is how u fight like a real knight

such grace and elegance

[cursive shale]

exquisite

this knight flails alot

[supple bear]

@fallow sentinel

we got a prblem

[fallow sentinel]

sup

[supple bear]

i dont have a nvidia gpu

and it says i need one

[fallow sentinel]

well i be damndd

[cursive shale]

what are we trying to accomplish

[steady carbon]

using the rear of the poleaxe also feels like superhero shit,,,,

[supple bear]

wait..

[fallow sentinel]

im working on it but most of it is predicting enemy swing

[supple bear]

did you say geforce app or experience'

[fallow sentinel]

geforce app

[supple bear]

it say im downloading experience

[fallow sentinel]

its only really the nvidia filters they have some that take out most rendering ppl use it on dayz and milsims so that the trees are practically gone

[supple bear]

oh

[fallow sentinel]

which means more fps

[supple bear]

yea

[fallow sentinel]

@cursive shale id say its me trying to make every swing count

[supple bear]

yea

idk

[cursive shale]

playtest clip, they massacred my hoe

[hearty stone]

trying to categorize half-sword screenshots into basic groups

[novel dirge]

how did you type that tomorrow

[steady carbon]

change ur timezone

[hearty stone]

I think I did it exactly at midnight for you

[novel dirge]

its 11:58

[cursive shale]

@novel dirge who are you talking to

[quick wolf]

interesting, so you go as small as possible or what

[hearty stone]

anyway it's like Artistic, Gore, Poses, and Shenanigans

[steady carbon]

i go smaller than the largest guys

[novel dirge]

romo

[gentle cobalt]

guys is there a suggestion channel cuz if there is I can't find one

[steady carbon]

the polearms stay the same size but your wingspan gets larger

but your strength doesnt go further despite that

so big guys have wobbly jelly arms

[cursive shale]

who, its not tomorrow yet for me i havent seen it

[hearty stone]

#1047240101152960525

[cursive shale]

[steady carbon]

and small guys have the same strength despite a smallwingspan

[gentle cobalt]

ahh thanks

[steady carbon]

so not only is your mass lower than theirs is when youre smaller but you hit at the same force and the only real drawback is weapon handling

but that can be fixed with halfsword cheese

to get onehanded swings on polearms

[cursive shale]

....

...are you sure

[novel dirge]

1v4

[steady carbon]

why are you so fucking tall

you freak

you fucking freak

cut this big giants feet off

[novel dirge]

want normal sized 1v4?

[steady carbon]

cut his feet off

[cursive shale]

go 1v9 fists only

[jolly gorge]

genuinely playing with fists has been easier for me than weapons

[modern valve]

He got them teep kicks

[steady carbon]

hes probably as educated too

same CTE too

strickland is the most borng untalented fighter lol

hold shift all the time

exactly

fuck stamina

[steady carbon]

dont be a gorilla about your movement

[formal chasm]

more like stop charging head first into enemies and use your range like a gentleman

[novel dirge]

so close

[novel dirge]

yk what fine bet

range means nothing, the games called halfsword not hellish quart

[modern valve]

Whos he talking to

who asked?

[steady carbon]

"use ur range like a gentleman" the gentlemanly stabbing him in the eyes with the point of your sword in halfsword:

[cursive shale]

games called half sword not full sword, so stop swording

[steady carbon]

being a gentleman to willie is dumb, give him 4 concussions in a row and then drag him around the fighting area

[bold olive]

what's the halfsword cheese?

[steady carbon]

if ur using any halfsword weapon but especially with long ones you can put the weapon into your usual left-side low arm guard, then raise it real fast while also switching back to a fighting grip to swing the sword or poleaxe out way further than usual with more momentum

[humble bloom]

The cheese is that if you kill willie, he has no possible way of attacking uou anymore

[steady carbon]

its crazy effective as an opener but you can do it in a chain if u learn it well

think of it like a way to do a tail guard opener strike with a polearm

[fallow sentinel]

backhanded him to next week

priceless

wp

[sleek gull]

Thanks!! I love that one. lol

[cursive shale]

man wish i could use the knives on higher tier enemies

[rancid sluice]

You could if you weren't a coward

[modern valve]

Is there a way to grapple with left hand and stab with right hand?

[cursive shale]

elaborate, without me constantly looping in the abyss

[supple bear]

renegade

[sleek gull]

Yeah! Just press Q. That will grab with the left hand, while keeping your weapon in your right hand

[supple bear]

what do i do

[rancid sluice]

Yeah, I do it all the time. It's not super reliable aim-wise but it works well to stifle enemy willies

[modern valve]

Of course. For now im trying to press Q followed by holding left click and making a stabbing motion, but most seem to miss :/

[rancid sluice]

That's more or less what I was thinking lol, although there are daggers in the later tiers

[cursive shale]

above the commoner?

[rancid sluice]

Are you using alt?

Yeah, though they're usually sidearms

[modern valve]

Im not aware of alt, is it like shift?

[rancid sluice]

Alt is for thrusting

[modern valve]

Ill give it a shot

[modern valve]

ty

[rancid sluice]

It's a game-changer for knives and polearms

[modern valve]

is there a wiki or guide or tutorial for these mechanics?

[rancid sluice]

You can also double-click for stabbing but it's a bit harder to aim

[modern valve]

Ive tried the double click but it only seems to work with polearms

pitchfork spear etc

[sleek gull]

Not exactly. However the player, Heart Over Death has a great youtube series that dives into the mechanics of the game.

[honest thorn]

always a nice feeling getting to cut someones limb off when theyre fulling armored

[modern valve]

Ill give it a look ty

[modern valve]

This is excellent ty

[cursive shale]

try the cheeky stabs

[rancid sluice]

I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see a lot more guides on YouTube leading up to the early access

[hearty stone]

I think I found my weapon

[sleek gull]

Thank you for reminding me. I needed to make a knife loadout.

like just clicking lmb for a second to swing it down without moving the mouse

and having the momentum still be enough to kill

[honest thorn]

youch

[hearty stone]

if you hold LMB high and then hit alt it does this choke-down swing at max range, and you can pull or thrust from it

it's wild

[rancid sluice]

Alternating grip with billhook is very fun

[modern valve]

Like the side to side swing?

[cursive shale]

he aint playing

[honest thorn]

no, by pressing X you swap the stances of the weapon youre holding

doing it at the right time can let you do a variety of stuff

[hearty stone]

hand switch

listen

I was touched by the prophet

[modern valve]

X as in pc keyboard X right?

[hearty stone]

yes

[honest thorn]

ye

[cursive shale]

@modern valve stuff like this

[hearty stone]

I asked m00 to explain it and they said "ok when you hit x your weapon goes from one hand to the other in a circle. it makes a circle. look at the circle"

and then I tried it myself and my entire world changed

let me put it this way

you know how polearms feel really stiff and you can only swing them to one side very well? this fixes that

[modern valve]

It seems kinda...silly? The weapon is moving all over the place

[hearty stone]

grip switching lets you swing left and right in big arcs

[hearty stone]

okay whatever reverse grip nunchuk hoe nonsense is going on there isn't what I meant

[cursive shale]

hahahaha

[hearty stone]

[sleek gull]

[cursive shale]

[modern valve]

Im familiar with changing hand placement, like choking up on a baseball bat

[cursive shale]

[modern valve]

[cursive shale]

lemme show you what he actually means

[modern valve]

[hearty stone]

[sleek gull]
