halfsword-chat-⚔

[slow jolt]

weak joints

[limpid vale]

When i press play demo i can only play fist fight or carnage

[slow jolt]

i think thast gauntlet mdoe

[valid pebble]

“Falling down is now harder” “getting up is now easier” ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[slow jolt]

bottom right free play i think

[zinc kiln]

reall

[wet stump]

because in gauntlet you start from the bottom. press on the icons on the right in free play to select tier

[velvet elm]

realest update

[valid pebble]

countless times I’ve swung a weapon and then got launched to the floor from it

This update was sent from above

[zinc kiln]

FRR

[velvet elm]

literally imagine knocking yourself down from your own attack

[valid pebble]

😭

[zinc kiln]

dude

[cerulean cloud]

so, the guy cut my leg off, then hit me so perfectly i flew 2000 mph west

[zinc kiln]

i js did like 10 360s while sprinting AND I DIDNT FALL DOWN

🙏🏿

[cerulean cloud]

HES BACK!!!!

[valid pebble]

this is why I won’t be pirating half sword at launch

[zinc kiln]

WHILE holding a long rang weapon

[woven hatch]

wtf hello devs?? why did you make the entering/leaving arrow time mode in this update so dogshit??

[sour garnet]

I need them to make a kickstarter or something already so I can get rid of my wallet

[valid pebble]

they could charge double what gta 6 costs and I’d pay for it

😭

[zinc kiln]

?

[cerulean cloud]

i am NOT spending 200 dollars for fucking half sword

[woven hatch]

its differend

and way worse

[zinc kiln]

maybe ur going to far

[sour garnet]

WELL I AM. So BUCKLE UP...

[zinc kiln]

😭

[valid pebble]

not far enough

[jolly gorge]

What are you talking about

[wet stump]

what? you mean they removed the string sound?

[woven hatch]

its metal sound now

[tight isle]

why are people acting like the arrowtime change is the worst thing since ww2

[woven hatch]

BECAUSE IT IS PIZZA

[zinc kiln]

calm down brochacho dont give them ideas

[woven hatch]

ITS SO BAD

[wet stump]

you would have to if a full sword costs $400

[valid pebble]

Half sword was the only game I played all day for a time I would pay

[jolly gorge]

arrowtime change?? What are yall talking about

[tight isle]

its really not 😭

[tight isle]

they changed the sfx so its a lower pitched than high pitch

[cerulean cloud]

i really dont like the slow mo

[jolly gorge]

Oh, I never play with sound anyways

[tight isle]

insane work

how u play a sword fighting game and dont want to hear the sword clinks

[wet stump]

its a very silent bass

[tawny fog]

if you want people to pay $200 for a game you need to do what tarkov does and trick them into thinking that they get good value out of it (and give them p2w goodies)

[jolly gorge]

I just play with music or yt videos in the background. I don’t really see why i would need sound

[zinc kiln]

WHAT ARE YALL TALKING ABT

[jolly gorge]

apparently some silly updates

I never noticed any, other than my performance being better

[wet stump]

to hear the screams of the innocent willie you just skinned alive of course

[jolly gorge]

but other than that I didn't see anything

[tight isle]

real but why not both

[zinc kiln]

true

[jolly gorge]

everytime I turn the sound on, he's just saying "I mean no harm" after I slice his hand off

[tight isle]

u get to hear ur willie call him a cuckold

[storm storm]

Cool, the new update help the npc to still be able to stand up without arms

they used to just fall down instantly

[wet stump]

stabbing is a bit better, now polearms dont just stab linearly afaik you can also rip a bit since a stabbing weapon is a slashing weapon if you just try hard enough

[zinc kiln]

sometimes they dont pal calm down

[jolly gorge]

that is another thing I noticed too, was that npc's were a bit better when it comes to getting up

[jolly gorge]

that would sound really weird

[storm storm]

what?

[zinc kiln]

these guys didnt get up

[limpid vale]

Is there a difference with abyss and gauntlet

[jolly gorge]

like some moist critikal videos and some random ass spotify music would be kinda odd

[zinc kiln]

aw

i cant send a pic

[zinc kiln]

sometimes they dont fall down

[verbal lintel]

Now notice the difference when falling and getting up?

[jolly gorge]

yes, but they both have you fight higher ranking enemies as you go along

[storm storm]

ok?

[jagged dirge]

game is running worse than before for me 😭

[zinc kiln]

maybe bash his head in with that axe me might die

just maybe

[limpid vale]

How do i play gauntlet

[storm storm]

The "calm down" part is confusing me

[zinc kiln]

might work

[stark moss]

they changed the slowmo sound

[royal arch]

Why is HS enhancer crashing alot?

[storm storm]

you just play the gauntlet

[wet stump]

maybe cause of the new update

[zinc kiln]

thats what yall r talking abt

what abt it

js a sound change

[jolly gorge]

press the 'play gauntlet' mode button on the right when you load in (if it's there) then press "play demo". If you don't see a 'play gauntlet' button on the right, just press play demo.

[stark moss]

i mean they didnt say it in the patch notes

completely unexpected

[zinc kiln]

who even uses the slo mo

[jolly gorge]

I had no idea there was a slow mo tbh

[zinc kiln]

i still dk what the slo mo is for since it drains ur stamina faster

so i dont use it

[wet stump]

i mean this as inoffensively as possible, but are you not good at navigating menus?

[storm storm]

No need to be an ass about it

[zinc kiln]

its f

[stark moss]

easier parries

[velvet elm]

0.0

[pearl cliff]

MATE THESE NPCS ARE MADE OF LITERAL PAPER

[zinc kiln]

?

[tardy parrot]

quick parries but it feels more skillful to not use slo-mo

[storm storm]

I mean we are also papers

[tight isle]

if u just hit them in the face one time u never lose

[jovial ice]

spin kicks

[velvet elm]

are you a thighs/boobs man

[stark moss]

ok but slowmo is cool

[zinc kiln]

how tf😭

[storm storm]

wow, that's insane

Oh cool, they changed how you fall down

[jovial ice]

nvm they gutted it 🥀🥀🥀

you can still do crazy hard punches with slowmo

[limpid vale]

I press play gauntlet and nothing happens then i press play demo and can play either fist fight or carnage and when i get 3 points i can fight a boss

[bleak portal]

sensitivty 100

[wet stump]

• spend a long time finding a willie with the weapon you want and a hat that doesnt obstruct your view in 1st person
• get killed
• cant surrender fast enough
• cry because i have to do it again
• repeat

[jovial ice]

True!

[limpid vale]

Im not good at english so it might be that i just dont understand

[tight isle]

i actually play on a really low sens LOL

[tardy parrot]

yah it feels cooler, weird tradeoff tbh, i wonder if there is a way to make it feel cool and skill-based in a game design standpoint

[jovial ice]

i should start using 1st person it seems crazy

[wet stump]

there is no play gauntley button but there are buttons to switch between gauntlet and free mode

[bleak portal]

Mouse-throwing sim then

[storm storm]

There is a mod that let you save the loadout if you want to try it

it's really convenient

[wet stump]

i just do it manually but sometimes i dont bother

[stark moss]

why do gauntlets nerf my punches

[tight isle]

if ur fast enough (and not in gauntlet) u can go to menu and it will save ur willie

[bleak portal]

tbh

[little verge]

English only please.

[bleak portal]

i still dont understand how parries work

[stark moss]

just dont get hit

[zinc kiln]

how

[storm storm]

Wow, the enemy now fall to the front instead of the side

[wet stump]

3rd person is impossible for me like how am i supposed to make moves when i cant see my arms and weapon

[pearl cliff]

but thats 1st person ur describing

[storm storm]

if your mouse is stationary while the enemy attack, the game tries to parry the enemy's sword for you

[jovial ice]

moderation difficult, requires people native in or familiar with other languages since translation apps aren’t accurate

[tight isle]

theres no parries like dark souls its just when u block an attack and u are at an advantageous position to strike before they can reasonably hit you back first

[wet stump]

tf you mean, fov is a thing

[limpid vale]

I meant the one that switches between gauntlet and freeplay

[storm storm]

Pretty sure that's first person

[zinc kiln]

@storm storm okay you are right i was doing the boxing and its WAY harder to knock em down. also sorry if the calm down souded rude

[little verge]

Because you were asked and we have language dedicated channels. #русский #rules

[storm storm]

Like your hands aren't visible in first person

[tight isle]

hold them up higher

[storm storm]

So I think that's what you meant

[zinc kiln]

yes dey are

[wet stump]

i dont get it what do you want to play? abyss, free mode or gauntlet

[limpid vale]

Gauntlet

[wet stump]

huh? they are visible where they need to be

[wet stump]

meanwhile i cant see shit here

[tight isle]

hyperpop warning (very scary)

[storm storm]

Ohhh so that's what you eman

I mean it's pretty visible to me

I just don't like first person because it shakes too much

[zinc kiln]

to be fair its first person

[wet stump]

what kinda x-ray vision do you have? anyway its probably a difference in play style, i like using moves that i think would make sense in real life so i want to have the same pov as in real life

[storm storm]

Like the video right below the post shows how visible the hand is

[zinc kiln]

i think its ur vision bro

its very visible from the pic u sent

what fov are you on jc

[wet stump]

yes when the weapon is drawn back, but not really in the bind when parrying

[analog pelican]

Will i still crash when i use DX12 instead of DX11?

[storm storm]

sure

[zinc kiln]

no

[dense island]

sweet jesus I just slammed a guys head over the fence

grabbed their legs and yanked hard enough I think I both broke their neck and severed their spine because I heard a loud crack and he died instantly

[wet stump]

one setting above middle, most comfortable to me. it sjust a matter of how i like to play and my proprioception ligning up better in first person

[tight isle]

this is the setting gigachads use

[little verge]

Wheres the clip!!!!

[dense island]

I was recording TwT

I'll try to replicate it

lemme get some morning coffee

[little verge]

I started using steam to capture things becuase I was missing so many great clip moments.

[analog pelican]

so they fixed it?

[zinc kiln]

real

[dense island]

ahhh I sees, I've also been getting better at throwing, granted I'm throwing axes and halberds but I still cute a guys arm off via throw

[wet stump]

i like that kicking isnt just a 50/50 win/does nothing anymore. It actually gets your opponent to get tf out of your personal space

[jolly gorge]

I hope 'custom personages' includes female willies lol

[wet stump]

its just normal willie but with larger chest

[pearl cliff]

i think they were hinting at it with the uh BREASTplate

[dense island]

with slowmo and careful shot you can hit them right in the side of a head so dw, hook kicking is still a thing

[jolly gorge]

aww, I want to roleplay as one of those 14th century manuscript women beating someone poor shitbag in a hole with a mace over a marital dispute

[zinc kiln]

i love yall have skill but i dont have skill they need to add a throw thing

[wet stump]

hear me out: my screen is only a few dozen degrees of my vision, so i would like my in game vision to be near that as well

[little verge]

I watched a clip today of someone throwing an axe that chopped Willie in two. I need to start throwing again.

[zinc kiln]

no

[wet stump]

by a few dozen i mean ~30-i have no idea

[little verge]

April fools joke.

[little verge]

It will not.

[stark moss]

i wonder why

[pearl cliff]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1296051581480865853/1298432526775353344/togif.gif

[tight isle]

i have a 30" widescreen so its almost necessary for me or else i feel like im pressed against my monitor

[steep imp]

what happened to the slow mo sound

[kindred nymph]

Finally they made falling down not as bad

It was actually so frustrating

[wet stump]

skill or luck i have no idea

[kindred nymph]

Luck

[dawn vale]

idk how people play this shit in first person

[pearl cliff]

ill show you true skill

check this out

https://medal.tv/sv/games/half-sword/clips/k92QhZ0HzprQKX4a9?invite=cr-MSw0aEosMTQ0ODY5MDMy

[zinc kiln]

were js better

[wet stump]

do u play real life in third person

[tight isle]

luck but u did push his sword down and slid it back so its called "we take those"

[dawn vale]

yes

[zinc kiln]

LMAO

[wet stump]

skill

[pearl cliff]

willie the boneless

willie breakbones

[burnt compass]

Music name please?

[wet stump]

id like a box of boneless willie please

[stark moss]

family guy death pos

[spice forge]

ooooo stabbing feels way better now

is it just me or do polehammers seem to pack a bit more of a punch

[wet stump]

maybe, i mean theyre supposed to

[spice forge]

y

yeee

[tight isle]

this was so long ago it was on the damn playtest but it was a great throw

[zinc kiln]

damn.

[wet stump]

this bitch kissed me and then kicked me so i had to slice his throat

[dawn vale]

imagine if this game had multiplayer with voice chat my god

[dense island]

how is he still standing

[zinc kiln]

cus ur weak

hit him harder

[naive iron]

Is the new update out?

[zinc kiln]

kick his drain in

[wet stump]

theres a local multiplayer mod i think. Thats voice chat kinda

[tight isle]

yah

[zinc kiln]

brain*

[dense island]

I slammed his head into the fence hard enough blood shot out so many times,

[zinc kiln]

well do it again

[naive iron]

What does improved weapon handling mean in detail?

Like all weapons just handle a lil better?

[zinc kiln]

im not sure but i feel like i can swing faster

with weapons

[tight isle]

tbh if ur talking about half sword enhancer i cant tell a difference

if u intimidate your opponents then they leave their defense wide open

[naive iron]

No Im talking about the latest update, idk what enhancer is

[tight isle]

i think some weapons werent swinging intuitively so they adjusted them

[zinc kiln]

how tf did u js do that

[snow gulch]

hows the new update for you guys?

[blazing orchid]

nooo not the war staff 😭😭😭

[tight isle]

spending too much time fucking around with polearms

[unique furnace]

the new Abyss makes me feel so good... But if it gets multiplayer I wont just be feeling good, Id nut everywhere. sorry but multiplayer in it would be mmmmwuah

[tight isle]

i think playtest + demo i have like 200ish hours

[little verge]

https://tenor.com/view/spray-bottle-cat-spray-bottle-spray-bottle-meme-loop-gif-25594440

[unique furnace]

aghhhhhhhhhh!!!

[little verge]

https://tenor.com/view/rookie-numbers-gif-26135237

[dense island]

can we please get an update where our characters don't have limp wrists, it's hard to re-create what I did when my character can barely pick up the fellas head

[potent ledge]

Question, what is that arm armor called that shows up at like soldier and veteran tier?

[dense narwhal]

Anyone else not able to download the new update from steam?

[tight isle]

I HAVE A JOB

[naive iron]

I can already feel the 'falling over is harder' change bro

[zinc kiln]

"there were no signs"

[little verge]

Try restarting steam

[little verge]

So do I.

[naive iron]

Is your job being a... beast?

[serene void]

I am liking it a lot

[naive iron]

[tight isle]

im secretly mr beast

[tight isle]

smh my head i only started playing ts shit in january 💔

[little verge]

Arnor like this?

[desert acorn]

bro is built different

[potent ledge]

Yeah that.

[little verge]

Them some good numbers then.

[naive iron]

Bro the first boss is always so merciless

[little verge]

They are called jack chains.

[naive iron]

I try to surrender and he just executes me :(

[little verge]

He has no honor

[tight isle]

(loud immature joke here)

[potent ledge]

Ah cool, was thinking about recreating that in real life

[zinc kiln]

sometimes i get a whole mini axe in my head and i stay alive

[naive iron]

It's very fair, I have none either. I try to use the surrender to get up and fight again pfff

[serene void]

Hes gotta take you out cause he knows youll come back

[solemn wedge]

guys... I finally reached the baron and the game decided to Fatal Crash, I wanna cry 😢

[sleek valve]

hollywood spinning in half sword somehow just works in this game (with extreme luck ofc)

[zinc kiln]

dw it doesnt wipe

if you re launch u should be able to do it again

[naive iron]

What weapons seem to be handling better in yalls eyes?

[tacit light]

Anyone knows how to reset progress on the game?

[solemn wedge]

yeah I saw that mentioned in the latest patch, but I was able to do it infinitely even before the patch

[tight isle]

this song slowed down does not sound right

[zinc kiln]

i didnt even know they updated it LOL

[sleek valve]

stupid spins r cool

[zinc kiln]

i always knew it didnt wipe

[solemn wedge]

also a question, does your willy heal over time? blunt/cut damage?

[little thicket]

Feels like i'm being de-limbed more often now

[zinc kiln]

no

[solemn wedge]

I was able to recover from a fatal wound once, but idk if it was a bug or not

[zinc kiln]

he most likely will do the oppisite

[tacit light]

Yes not completely but he doesn't bleed

[zinc kiln]

and bleed out

[desert acorn]

you do heal from damage, but not actual wounds, like cuts and such

[solemn wedge]

ooh ok so you (and npc) can bleed out, that's nice to hear 😄

thanks

[zinc kiln]

yeah np

[desert acorn]

like if you take blunt hits, you will recover, and slight cuts will likely not have much of an adverse effect after a while

[tight isle]

HALBERD SUPREMACYY

[naive iron]

ohhh my god the falling over change is so goated dude

[desert acorn]

but if you get a cut that completely disables your arm? yeah no that arm's gone

hes not even trying to hit me

he's just standing there menacingly

[solemn wedge]

lmao

[sleek valve]

are your spin attacks that would never work in a fight not actually working in your half sword fight? just spin... MORE!

[gilded breach]

Ground combat is the best change no question

[tight isle]

spinjitsu activate

[runic osprey]

Best patch notes ever

[dawn vale]

they should add reverse grip

[gilded breach]

I can defend myself when on the ground its amazing

[snow gulch]

yeah this feels a lot better tbh

ai doesnt stumble nearly as much

[tight isle]

mods draw and quarter this rapscallion

[sleek valve]

sellswordsarts in the background:

[desert acorn]

ok he died

[sleek valve]

reverse grip with a knife or a dagger would be fair game tho

[gilded breach]

They shud add reverse grip and if u use it 5 barons spawn around u

[humble hazel]

New update! Love you devs

[sleek valve]

yes it works on enemies who have long-ranged weapons too but you generally need a LOT more luck

and its never killing a pitchfork

[naive iron]

this patch is goated, amazing job devs

the faster standing is grand, so is the harder falling bro. It made abyss feel way better

[sleek valve]

we sacrificed the funny willie fall for the funny willie ACTUALLY STANDING LIKE A NORMAL PERSON also heres funny willie doing bad techniques that would prboably never work if the other willie wasnt brain dead

[zinc kiln]

the 2nd clip would have been so cool if it cut his head off

[pearl ferry]

Damage buffs for the skill issue people...

Jk! I'm excited to play the patch

[dense island]

I just snapped a guys leg by kicking it

[sleek valve]

man i really love these silly stupid "techniques"

oh also willie ballstab might put that on #game-footage-🎮🎥 because funny

[spring eagle]

ive been dragging my sword around in this mans heart for the last 20 seconds. Where damage rebalance

[sleek valve]

i think bro hit slightly above the heart's hitbox 💔

[bronze spade]

goofy ahh song taste

[sleek valve]

WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS 😭

[naive iron]

Did you play the old demo Tuna?

[sleek valve]

yes i did

[naive iron]

I spent like ten minutes getting whacked by a salt shaker bro :(

[zinc kiln]

you kept spin attacking his friends

[naive iron]

I kept trying to get up but he just kept slapping me around

[prime furnace]

Liking the new update , Nice to not topple over so easy ! -Devs are doing GREAT work with this game , hours and hours of fun

[sleek valve]

sounds like the previous clip

[dense island]

oh thats why, you can treat your legs like warhammers

target their joins enough times and they break

[spring eagle]

idk man this looks pretty hearty to me

[sleek valve]

bro hit 3 centimeters above the heart htibox 💔

[spring eagle]

its trough the middle of his dang heart

[naive iron]

Looks like you missed to me

[sleek valve]

old demo footage, fuck pitchfork users

[balmy wind]

"Faster getting up from the ground"

Goodness gracious

This is peak

[naive iron]

Spears will forever be so cringe to fight bro

[balmy wind]

Miltia boss can go die in a fire

[swift vessel]

spears are the best

[spring eagle]

Okay i made fucking sure i hit something VITAL with this one

[sleek valve]

more old demo footage, his hit was stupid but my hit was ABSOLUTELY FUCKING BADASS

[sleek valve]

"Tis but a flesh wound..."

[hollow surge]

can they PLEASE nerf the commoner boss

i got demolished in one hit

[robust vessel]

A upcoming honor system in half sword

[naive iron]

oh when i said old demo i meant pre-arena, when it was just the dark fog abyss

[robust vessel]

This is peak

[naive iron]

Have you tried not getting hit. 🤓

[hollow surge]

i have

[solemn mist]

Took me 20 hopurs to get pass it and die on tier 4

[spring eagle]

More weapons = More shit to stab him with

[sleek valve]

oh yea the old but kinda new demo, the one with the jelly legs

[hollow surge]

he just swings again

[solemn mist]

Its so fun though

[balmy wind]

The way you defeat the commoner boss is charging in and stabbing him in the gut

[hollow surge]

he just slices my head instantly

[balmy wind]

Then hitting g to accept the win before you die

[naive iron]

Tier 3 boss is crazy tho, half the time i end up killing him while he kills me

[solemn mist]

I got cleaved in 3 halfs

[solemn wedge]

is the crosshair still a thing or has it been removed?
(Center crosshair option seems to do nothing)

[solemn mist]

Optimal

[hollow surge]

he kills me instnatly no time to forfeit

[balmy wind]

Maybe like

dont get killed

instantily

[hollow surge]

i tried

[solemn wedge]

or maybe it is still present but invisible?

[balmy wind]

Try harder

[solemn mist]

Shift + S whenever he lifts that big sword up

[hollow surge]

ill try stabbing him in the gut\

[solemn mist]

Might save you a few times

[hollow surge]

whats shift s

[zinc kiln]

what gain is there if blood shed. twixus

[balmy wind]

I just dance around him until I can stab him in the chest

[prisma aspen]

imma be honest

[naive iron]

Parry his huge sword, slice his head clean from his shoulders

[hollow surge]

dodge?

[prisma aspen]

the game is running so much goddam better

[solemn mist]

Backward but faster, basically dodging

[balmy wind]

Let me try to find clip

[solemn mist]

Yes

[hollow surge]

okay

[sleek valve]

are they effective? not usually. are they fun? fuck yes

[hollow surge]

how do that

[sleek valve]

just hold shift and spin with high senstiviyty

[hollow surge]

okay

[solemn mist]

I sitll cannot do spinnign kick

Best attempt I have so far is kickign willie balls

Very optimal

[sleek valve]

oh yeah you also probably need slow motion

[hollow surge]

whats that

[sleek valve]

thats what i used

just press f

[solemn mist]

[hollow surge]

okay

[sleek valve]

and also just basically never use it in gaultnet

since it sucks as a technique

[robust vessel]

They nerfed it already

[solemn mist]

alt+f4 have limitless stop motion

Works in discord too

[hollow surge]

n0

[solemn mist]

I didnt see any diffrence

[distant drum]

they managed to somehow rip my leg of without anyone having a weapon

[robust vessel]

I wish the commoner boss was still just the knife

[solemn mist]

Hulk syndrome

Commoner boss is the best boss I seen

[robust vessel]

It teaches people how stabbing is harder but more rewarding than slashing

[solemn mist]

Our of all 5 tiers I recahed, commone rboss seems msot fun

And skill check

[balmy wind]

commoner boss should be a guy in full armour that just punches the shit out of you

[tight isle]

longsword clipdump

[solemn mist]

Accurate medieval

[snow gulch]

sounds like senator armstrong

[hollow surge]

hey so with the trick you teachede me i sliced someone in half instantly

[spring eagle]

All the paid Willies on discord trying to gaslight me into thinking I didnt hit the heart

[solemn mist]

Guys, if yourre worried abotu dealing with blutn weapons, use high guards, they can't build up mommentum mroe effectively and worst case is that them breaking your legs

[fickle wasp]

how much the game full release???

[spring eagle]

you will see

[solemn mist]

80 per willie

[tight isle]

it increases everytime someone asks

[robust vessel]

Commoner is definetly one of the best, but i also adore the veteran tier one

[fallen pulsar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jiqkiWzSio

[tight isle]

so we're probably at 500 dabloons

[robust vessel]

They teach both sides of the coin

[fickle wasp]

ohh

[solemn mist]

Fair point but veteran boss doesn't shievr my timbers, msotly becasue I have armor

[tight isle]

https://tenor.com/view/bobux-roblox-embed-no-embed-perms-0bobux-gif-18287307

[robust vessel]

Shivering wise then it's the greatsword boss

That big sword is just

[solemn mist]

I mg

[tight isle]

i think the man-at-arms boss is too easy lowkey

[solemn mist]

COmmoner boss shivers my timbers when I first saw em, it still does

[sleek valve]

still never use it in gauntlet its very luck-based...

[solemn mist]

Actually cleaving a limb off is rng

Devs should monetize it

[robust vessel]

My only wish is that they implement a throwing stance imput

[robust vessel]

The current way weapons get handled makes throwing unrealistically hard

[hollow surge]

the fucking peasnt boss

im gonna crash outt

[robust vessel]

And launching knifes is also historically accurate

[solemn mist]

I tried throwing an axe once, it splitted my skull instead

[hollow surge]

lol

[solemn mist]

Rng based

[robust vessel]

Actaulyl fighting soemthign that could do somethign againist peasant boss is real rng

[sleek valve]

i second this but im gonna ask you this: how are you going to throw a dagger when the other inputs are likely gonna be: reverse grip, and maybe even halfswording with the dagger or even using the dagger with two hands, one grabbing in reverse grip and the other making a palm to push into the gaps of body armor
theres probably gonna be a fuck ton of inputs for a single dagger lol

[solemn mist]

I will say it might be worse

[solemn mist]

5% increase per 10 dollar

[robust vessel]

Hold Q

I mean

[solemn mist]

Using reverese grips on any other swords than dagger or slightly bigger daggers should play an animation where your willie cut his neck off

[robust vessel]

Whatever arm it is to throw

Hold the imput to drop the weapon

[dense island]

bab

[dense island]

bwa

[sleek valve]

willie explodes when he uses reverse grip on something thats not a dagger

[solemn mist]

Its moeny

[robust vessel]

And you release the input after the arm movement at the right time

[dense island]

[solemn mist]

Willie is smart enough to know that

[fallow sinew]

I just buried a hatchet in this guys femoral artery and he's walking towards me with a sword raised help

(in game)

[robust vessel]

I've seen Willy try to stand up with 1 leg while still holding a double handed axe

[solemn mist]

No'! Throw thy axe!

[solemn mist]

No gif perms

[sleek valve]

Using reverse grip on a weapon that is not a dagger makes Willie pull out a 1911 and take LTG's advice

[solemn mist]

Willie approves

Do we happen to know if multiplayer is ever gonna be a thing for HS?

[hollow surge]

my game crashed

[solemn mist]

Bloody yes ser

[hollow surge]

😦

[sleek valve]

Considered, likely local multi tho

[stiff lily]

i was in the hs discord before but new discord acount i was hacked but is the 2025 releasing actual like full version of hs gonna be paid or not im og and not really a tester but i played BETA

[sleek valve]

And HS mobile will not exist.

[solemn mist]

Ping says no, entre pjhysics based and transfering it on even at 30ms is nearly impossible, we might have it at 2040s if technology progress exponetially enough and ping almost goes to 1ms all continents

[hollow surge]

isnt that obvious the game is really gorey so your phone will OVER heat

[sleek valve]

We'd have "Buttstock" by then where you fight in physics based 2000s military combat with physics based ranged combat and physics based melee combat

[spring eagle]

Did someone mention butts?????

[solemn mist]

Spinning attacks and reverse grip gonna be meta for a few reasons

[spring eagle]

BUTTS WHERE

[errant saffron]

my game had a fatal error but i can keep playing💀

[solemn mist]

Your willie hbave an entire bakery down there

I checkjed it with free camera

[spring eagle]

and ive been making good use of it

believe me

[solemn mist]

Its a feature sonny

[sleek valve]

In buttstock it won't be Willie, it will be Timmy

[errant saffron]

makes sense

[snow gulch]

looked more like you just smacked his blade before he even got the chance to attack

[errant saffron]

OH NOW MY GAME CLOSED ITSELF

👨‍🚒

[snow gulch]

clean asf though icl

[solemn mist]

Majro reasons why we won't have genderbent willies

[solemn mist]

Child labor

[spring eagle]

i love my willies men

[solemn mist]

[solemn mist]

Same

[spring eagle]

why would u want willie woman

[tight isle]

u see his blade had exactly 1 frame of active frames so its a parry

[sleek valve]

I don't know if we will even have ANY female characters in the game considering what you can do with Willie already

[spring eagle]

men willie much more sexy

[solemn mist]

Personal reasons

[snow gulch]

huh. touche.

[errant saffron]

the bug that makes your clothes disappear

[hollow bobcat]

is the new update in the demo?

[tight isle]

yes

[spring eagle]

much better with men

[hollow bobcat]

it didnt tell me to update tho

[solemn mist]

I will wait for a modder to drop it, jsut a few mroe days and there will be one

[solemn mist]

[sleek valve]

I think this guy is attracted to white drunk swordsmen

[tight isle]

go to steam page and reclick download demo and it should happen

[hollow bobcat]

oh god its gunna be all downhill

Willie practiced his reps and footwork but he's still drjnk

[solemn mist]

Cannon event

[molten shuttle]

you think there will ever be multiplayer?

[solemn mist]

I would say 2040s

[sleek valve]

That's WAYY too low of a bar

[solemn mist]

Technology we have, even high end is barely enough

[sleek valve]

By the time we are about to wage nuclear war on each other, halfsword will have a multi-player update

tbh just do hema 😭

[solemn mist]

LKow end at that era is expected to be 32gb of ram, high end possibly going up to 128gb, with market directions of having ai chips and doule cpus

I doubt it might happen even before 2040

[sleek valve]

or do sparring with your friends

[solemn mist]

Tech is jumping

Only a efw mroe decades till we figure out inertia balancing devices

[sleek valve]

Yeah that's good and all but the problem is the network

[solemn mist]

Then space colonization gonna be a thing

[sleek valve]

2040 space colonization is a low bar even for the moon if im being completely honest

[solemn mist]

Fair enough, but I would say with current direction and we assume it gonna continue that way, ping on all continenst might go beyond 10ms

[cunning aspen]

Hey guisarme is so fun weapon

[spring eagle]

by 2040 i will have colonized your booooty

[solemn mist]

Full blown startrek thigns will only be possibel aroudn 22th cnetury, 2040 is the lowest bar where space travel might become commercial

[barren ivy]

Y'all may I ask, what Build number are we in currently?

[chilly moth]

What is the warstaff they brought up?

The spikey stick?

[still oasis]

This update is so fucking good..

[pallid oar]

how do i know if steam updated my gam

oh nvm

[fair pier]

What was even the updated

that game is still crashing

[tight isle]

patch notes are in #updates

[celest rivet]

Could one lucky punch actually one shot the baron?

[velvet elm]

"Its harder to fall down, Faster getting up from the ground"

[tight isle]

doubt it but feel free to try

[celest rivet]

Haha alr

[hollow delta]

Behind the scenes tldr: WHY TF DID YALL BLOW THE GAME UP NOW, WE AINT CHARGING MONEY YET

[dapper trail]

i like the new "swish sound"

[celest rivet]

How do I land overhead swings consistantly tho? It keeps deviating to the left or right :<

[dapper trail]

from when you swish the sword around

timing

[brave grail]

How the range of the swordsman clad in black feels

[dapper trail]

i like the new handling

[brave grail]

Gotta try out the new updates, seems good

So far I mean

[tight isle]

doing direct overheads wont really accomplish much tbh so it deviating is good

but it is funny doing a direct axe to down the middle of the skull

[worn nimbus]

beat the final boss finally

"fatal error"

[celest rivet]

How do you use the hoe tho?

[worn nimbus]

and warstaff less op thank god

[celest rivet]

The long ranged weapon in the peasant arsenal?

[celest rivet]

What is the warstaff again?

[worn nimbus]

the great mace with the spikes

[tight isle]

tbh i dont like how the hoe handles but diagonal or horizontal attacks should be fine

[celest rivet]

Oh, that thing, It carried me through ultimate challenge

[wind charm]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxueeWJULADoMDgrei14XLkejVy4R6Wu_c?si=LgWPbS-yPeLTx0uu

[worn nimbus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VjoJYpYAkI would like some critique on my style

[broken zodiac]

Has the fatal error been fixed then or not yet

[worn nimbus]

yes

[broken zodiac]

I'll check it myself

[worn nimbus]

turn down blood and gore to like 1/4

[broken zodiac]

Wait 1/4?

That's the minimum?

[stoic cloak]

where da patch notes at

[tight isle]

if you're not aiming for the neck ur not aiming right!!!

[potent sail]

fucking love this games devs

[velvet elm]

how the hell do you use the damn axe

[worn nimbus]

i figured out a cool method

[pallid oar]

thickest falchon ever

[waxen lance]

lets fucking go

[worn nimbus]

when swinging, tap alt for a second, it goes for the head a lot

[velvet elm]

what

[tight isle]

bros got the meat cleaver mildred the man eater uses in dark souls

[worn nimbus]

shmeat cleaver

[tight isle]

this is actually a great method for polearms its funny

[stoic cloak]

did they nerf how much damage fists do?

or is that just cuz its harder to get down

[worn nimbus]

you can still give that 4 peice combo

with extra sauce

[twin hawk]

the announcement is great and all, but ive seen way too many game devs take advantage of the payday man.. I love this game and i hope they put the cash back into the game..

[worn nimbus]

mordhau devs

[stoic cloak]

ive gotten to elden ring ng+6 and it was never as hard as half sword wtf bro

[pallid oar]

fr

[worn nimbus]

smelly ring night reighndeer gonna be good

[unique furnace]

What I find for boss is the knife that spawns in the middle is kinda goated. anyone else?

[worn nimbus]

i throw it

ive gotten a win once doing that

[unique furnace]

ohhh nice

[potent palm]

I stab for the midsection

Works very well

Also pitchfork is underrated

[worn nimbus]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WoYWrcCl1Sc

throwing axe

[unique furnace]

Same... as you can see in (game-footage)

[tight isle]

knife and buckler for peasant boss makes me feel like im the thief class in dark souls getting the sickest parry

[tawny fog]

how fix

[potent palm]

🔥🔥

[worn nimbus]

i wanna see a dark souls style buckler parry

[tight isle]

just give up that round and go to menu?

[tawny fog]

i did

[tight isle]

did u turn it off and on again

[tawny fog]

yes

[stoic cloak]

bruh u got metal fists

[wet stump]

well with real parries your not knocking the enemy's weapon away as much as you are controlling it. Bucklers have a dome shape so you can deflect attacks

[lost warren]

Will the demo be available after the Steam Early Access release?

[celest rivet]

Yooo I finally beat the baron

[dapper trail]

stabbing is so fun

[slow lintel]

I hope they make autoparry a toggleable option in Early Access!

[dapper trail]

especially when you hit a stab in the head/neck

juicy

[haughty vine]

who up beating they willy

[crimson atlas]

did that update drop already?

[calm ivy]

Some head/neckshots, made before the update!

[fluid prairie]

I found a funny glitch

If you run with a full set of armor while holding a great sword to your right, you start falling forward and then you start sliding on the ground really fast

[unique cedar]

standing firmer is nice and all but when are they fixing the bug that makes my willie ride his halberd like a witch's broom

[fluid prairie]

I’ll try to replicate it

[worn nimbus]

it wont let me send my clips

[lost warren]

They won't; it is an Easter egg.

[unique cedar]

😭

polearms in general are so buggy

[shell valley]

https://streamable.com/6w51a2

[lost warren]

Why are you crying? Isn't it fun to ride your telekinetic weapon?

[shell valley]

broken limbs are something new or it always happened?

[soft osprey]

Nobody knows 🤷‍♂️

[shell valley]

first time it happened to me

[unique cedar]

its always been a feature

[lost warren]

How did you reply 5.5 minutes after this message getting burried under newer messages?

[stoic zodiac]

man this weird annoying bug where it makes willies keep crouching and causing them to fall easily it existed before but this time its more constant

[mellow wagon]

did half sword update automatically, i dont see any update queued for half sword

[lost warren]

Which "Broken" are you talking about? Glitchy, overpowered, poor, broken(breaking, shattered, etc.)

[shell valley]

https://streamable.com/6w51a2

the one in this video

[unique cedar]

I think it auto updates

[shell valley]

poor guy

[mellow wagon]

hmm alright

[unique cedar]

steam never tells me that the game updates so im not sure

[calm ivy]

I noticed it a little bit on this awesome axe throw combo I did recently.. but it could also be the brain damage he got from the first throw lol

[tight isle]

skill issue sorry

[tight isle]

keep proper spacing and the hoe will do all the work

[blazing gull]

my kicks broke both of this dudes arms

[forest ravine]

I'm so fucking happy

They made the game playable again

Willie does what I tell him and doesn't get force-pushed to the ground by strong language

[solemn wedge]

omg guys I did it! I wish I was recording; I've reached the baron with a broken arm, I equipped the knife from the first round and hugged him for like 15minutes until I sliced his throat

[forest ravine]

Sick 👌

[solemn wedge]

lesson learned: always keep a backup knife

[waxen lance]

also

this means to not use the plancon au placot against the baron

[wet stump]

wait is there an option to switch to one handed? i really need that for thrusts

[unique cedar]

nah, half the time my guy wants to hold it under his ass

[forest ravine]

That has been a recurring problem yeah

[tall dagger]

no it was bugged

[wet stump]

oh :(

[tight isle]

ur swinging too wildly and spamming between regular grip and halfswording then

[forest ravine]

If you switch your two-handed hold back and forth that resets it and usually fixes it

[wet stump]

i really hope they add a switch to one handed button

[naive holly]

Wish we could two hand Arming swords instead of half swording tbh, like with the falchion

[forest ravine]

Yee

It's a little clumbsy right now how sometimes right-click is swap grip, sometimes it's one-hand to two-hand, and sometimes it's "just use your left hand"

And you just have to trial-and-error to learn what it does for different weapons

Especially frustrating because certain weapons look really similar when you have an extra-long shorter weapon or an extra-short longer weapon with verily similar designs but different programmed behaviors

[celest rivet]

Wowie

[wet stump]

he dragged his scythe across the ground and it happened to touch my ass. you know what that means! That's right, instant death!

[naive holly]

When you go to halfsword and press grab with the opposite hand you kinda get a weird 1 handed effect

[forest ravine]

Yeah the bladed weapons have been ridiculous ever since the update where they wanted to "make blunt less overpowered"

Which translated to "blunt weapons do next-to-no damage unless they're super long and entirely-top-heavy" and "all blades are now lightsabers"

The scythe has kinda always been ridiculous though

[wind charm]

its about using the right tool for the job

[wet stump]

yeah they should revert it blunt should be op because thats realistic. they havent changed polearms being op since it is also realistic

[restive garnet]

i like how the ragdolls have this euphoria physics feel to em after the update

[wind charm]

Grappling is better now :D
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxAEPHvJ0NmBeiV_rRPU2XM7NUA3VWZoPX?si=lm06chm7Z8_3UbMr

[forest ravine]

To be clear I'm not saying I think it was better balanced when blunt DID just insta-kill and blades were too high a risk for the reward, I'm just saying the blades are a little obscenely cut-y

[tight isle]

not my best but if u keep ur momentum with these unwieldly things u just win

[restive garnet]

woohooo

[wet stump]

blunt weapons work well they should just do more damage. If you turn down npc damage they become completely useless and cant break anything. Realistically, a pommel strike to the face should cave in the enemy's skull

[forest ravine]

Though I will say most of the blunt weapons feel useless

I don't think I've ever killed someone with one of the normal hammers or the polearm hammers since even the first playtest update

The mace is fucking awesome

[unique cedar]

the gold mace is lowk op

[forest ravine]

Especially the top tier maces

[tight isle]

polearm hammers are still good they are just a lot harder

[forest ravine]

But the hammers and blunt polearms feel extremely anemic

[forest ravine]

That's the point though, what are you getting out of them? They are just flatly worse than other options at that tier

That's why I'm saying it's a balancing issue

[wind charm]

amen

[forest ravine]

Any time I've used a polearm that had a hammerhead it was just because the pommel end had a hook or a blade

[forest ravine]

I'm not gonna argue that you are anything less than extremely impressive with that polearm, but that still isn't the argument I'm making :p It's a physics-based combat game with a high degree of control and freedom, you could make any weapon work with enough practice

My argument is that the skill floor to do so with hammers and polearms is substantially higher for no real benefit over other weapons that work as good if not better with substantially less effort and practice

[restive garnet]

i feel ai gotten dynamic reactions. maybe thats just me

[tight isle]

i think the absurdly long polehammers in knight tier arent good because of the ai's tendency to just hold a halfsword up to your neck and drain ur stamina

[vivid fossil]

yeah but you can also like, almost sidestep?? and then push them back with the polearm, thats what ive figured out if they rush in halfsword

[raven comet]

I love these fkn devs

[forest ravine]

I think my biggest issue with polearms is that you still feel too drunk weilding them

I don't understand why it still takes so long to stabilize for a thrust; it's definitely a lot better with this update but the enemy can instant-snap to stab-ready from any position, and for your guy it still takes a good couple of seconds, which is lethal in a fight

[vivid fossil]

ive never bothered with thrusts or anything of the type, it feels too weak, id much rather just abuse jank by spamming X

[naive holly]

Playtest polearms were nice and stiff tbh

[forest ravine]

Also I wish the centering was better, you're always like eight inches of your point of aim on either side even without auto-aim or even when you finish stabilizing

[unique cedar]

really feels like most polearms at said tier are just wooden sticks

its like the big metal spike at the tip isnt even there

[vivid fossil]

loved the playtest small spear, when you were able to like, launch dudes across the map by holding their butt

[wet stump]

https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1375140793773330602 i made a suggestion about the lack of balance between chopping and blunt

[naive holly]

Which one gang

[wind charm]

they keep me on my toes

[vivid fossil]

number 2 is HARD

[forest ravine]

Yeah exactly, the other blunt weapons at top tier completely eclipse the polearms

[wet stump]

if you could make the entire knife in focus i'd say 1, but its too focused on the hilt in 1

[forest ravine]

Especially because they're entirely armored so if you have a polearm they just get right in your face and keep the gap closed because they aren't stupid enough to keep distance

I'm sure in the full game hammers and polearms will fill the niche of cheap blunt weapons since they use substantially less metal than a mace and will 100% be cheaper than like a sword, but for this arena-only playtest I always just reroll off of them

[wet stump]

its almost impossible to be accurate with non-stabbing polearms which makes the blunt ones almost useless

[wind charm]

back in my day

[forest ravine]

I still argue that that level of skill makes it irrelevant which weapon you're using :p

I need to put my money where my mouth is though, I haven't tried the high tier polearms yet today, lemme see how they feel

[solemn wedge]

I've started playing a couple of days ago and I've found all weapons to be somewhat balanced (both blunts and sharp); except for the scythe (and randomly the axe) which are sharper than a katana lmao

[jolly gorge]

Guys how to get in that arena

[opaque blaze]

what music is in the background my fellow ena enjoyer

[jolly gorge]

hopefully because it involves new rigging & modelling and a lot of work!

(as opposed to the tarkov excuse of 'WAmEn CaNt FiGhT')

[unique cedar]

what arena

[tight isle]

let me find which song but Starjunk95 makes awesome music

beat keep rockin'

[opaque blaze]

aye aye cap

[forest ravine]

Ok ye they polearms feel a lot better now for sure

[quasi narwhal]

i haven’t been playing the game in a few weeks now, and i only ask since i’m at work, how is the new patch?

[tall dagger]

it works!

[jolly gorge]

The ones you see in tiktok

[unique cedar]

the one without the fence?

[quasi narwhal]

it’s exciting to see the part about vital organs being now the center of damage, i never really had the impression they were there!

i’m excited to come home and play :)

[tall dagger]

idk. my arm jabs still kill relentlessly

[tight isle]

[jolly gorge]

@bronze wigeon This

[quasi narwhal]

i think he just seized lollll

[tall dagger]

yeah?

[jolly gorge]

How to get the arena

[tall dagger]

are you playing the updated demo?

[jolly gorge]

Just downloaded it

[tall dagger]

did you click play demo on the menu screen?

[jolly gorge]

Ye

[tall dagger]

where did it take you?

[jolly gorge]

Oh now i see

Thx

[waxen lance]

loving the new swinging noises for the longer billhooks

[waxen lance]

you obviously arent using the blunt polearms properly

[quasi narwhal]

willies still give up after losing use of their arms?

[forest ravine]

Does anyone know if there's a gallery somewhere of all the ingame medieval art?

I wanna try drawing in that style but I wanna get the higher res images as reference if I can find them

[wet stump]

yes please tell me how to (to be fair i havent used them since the update)

[quasi narwhal]

that would super cool if they had one but i don’t know where it would be, they have a nice arena in their steam page screenshots

or maybe they have press release stuff

[waxen lance]

hit head

bonc

[wet stump]

well i think i should try them again since i heard they un-drunked it

[naive holly]

Was gonna say haha its the only arena

[forest ravine]

Also while looking I saw this on the website

Half Sword is being developed by HalfSword Games, a recently founded small game studio based in Georgia. The development team is geographically dispersed, with members located in countries such as Georgia, Sweden, Georgia (US), Netherlands, India, and Argentina.

[naive holly]

Yeeee small team too. 12 ppl?

[forest ravine]

The specification of there being a team in the country of Georgia and of specifically the State of Georgia in th USA is funny to me

Like instead of just listing the US, they needed to point out the US team member lives in the State of the same name

That's funny

[wet stump]

i would love to somehow have more wrist control so you could do more real hema techniques since they do work

[silk kiln]

So halfsword is primarily a physics engine Test, which makes sense, but makes me wonder if after the game is fully released, it's engine will be open for other devs to utilize in their own projects. Is that the goal?

[forest ravine]

Wait does this game not have a Patreon?

[wet stump]

nope, i dont think so. that's honestly crazy, its so good.

[forest ravine]

S h i d

[wet stump]

the early access will cost money IIRC tho

[forest ravine]

I was hoping there was like a Patreon dev chat thing where you could ask Devs questions directly

[tight isle]

worth it tho

[forest ravine]

I will gladly pay for it, I've gotten like 200 hours out of the free demos

[wanton owl]

how do i play strong one vs weak one

[forest ravine]

Even if the final game somehow sucks I'd buy it just because I owe them for the time I've gotten out of it so far

[wet stump]

you mean higher vs lower tier?

[wanton owl]

ja

[wet stump]

if so i know how

ok just a sec gotta write it

[wanton owl]

k

why it get deleted

[tight isle]

longsword is just too goated istg

[wet stump]

• main menu
• find and reroll to willie you want
• go to %localappdata%\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\SaveGames
• copy "SG Player Equipment.sav" to wherever you wanna store it
• go back to main menu
• click on tier you want to fight
• go back to %localappdata%\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\SaveGames
• paste "SG Player Equipment.sav" (make sure you put it somewhere and copied it from there)
• press play demo

[fallow swift]

Can't wait for gore system 3.0 lmfao

[wet stump]

accidentally pressed enter

[wanton owl]

so u have to code to do it

[wet stump]

no

just file navigation

[wanton owl]

ahh

cool

[tight isle]

ur just dragging and dropping

[past pendant]

I understand why they made it harder to fall over, and I think the finished game will ultimately be better for it, but I also feel like it was part of the charm in terms of it being just a pure physics simulation :D

[wet stump]

it is also how you save presets

[tight isle]

yeag but it was annoying to lose cause u just tripped on ur ass

this aint smash bros brawl

[mint wadi]

I cannot believe we got an update during the demo.

That's so crazy.

Thanks everybody at Half Sword Games.

[tight isle]

it must be gospel if its from john halfsword

[jolly gorge]

How to even get past the first boss

[mint wadi]

Your commitment to even keeping us updated on a FREE model of the game is great.

[tawdry vale]

[deep perch]

W devs

[unkempt void]

Quick question, which weapon is the warstaff? Idk the names of majority of the weapons

[tight isle]

the warstaff the plancon the godendag

[mint wadi]

I'm guessing the plancon

[tight isle]

its the big stick with spikes

[unkempt void]

Ohhh I understand. I’m glad I traded it out for the billhook earlier then

[silent crystal]

I can't download the game from steam. Is it known issue?

[tight isle]

negan but if he was medieval

not from what ive heard

[wet stump]

what do you mean you cant download please be more specific

[pallid oar]

dx12, very fancy

[unkempt void]

Is there a different name for the billhook that has a larger slashing blade? Or are they both just variations of billhook

[wet stump]

i think theyre just billhook.

[unkempt void]

Thank you

[lunar oxide]

Okay so the swords cuts feel like whatever, but bind work feels pretty good.

I'll take that as a win

[silent crystal]

The reason was - not updated steam

[pallid oar]

doesnt steam update automatically?

[tall dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/chefs-kiss-french-chef-perfect-dish-excellent-food-perfection-gif-20341505

[wet stump]

face off

[silent crystal]

I opened it from browser anв it didn't opened automatically, but then I opend it from windows and it did

[lunar oxide]

Thw swords also feel consistently sharp I'm getting a lot more cuts where I normally wouldn't. So is the enemy, but we don't talk about that.

[pallid oar]

is it me or decapitating with sword is just way easier than like in the playtest?

[lunar oxide]

That's been like that to be fair.

[wet stump]

yeah i dont like how easy it is to dismember people. You dont even have to take the weapon all the way through

[wet stump]

its always been like that AFAIK.

[lunar oxide]

Also seriously if you havent turn the gore level down to gruesome. The game is much more balanced around that.

The other one is basically begging for gore

[cosmic matrix]

damn did graplling get nerfed again by this

[lunar oxide]

exploding meatsacks more than they are humans.

[pallid oar]

i hope they like recolor the blood to like a deeper tone of red and make the guts spill out, that would be fire lwk

[wet stump]

also these are my settings

is that good

[lunar oxide]

That should be fine

[pallid oar]

im guessing the blood slidder is how much blood the game's gonna render in before stopping, right?

[lunar oxide]

Decapitations and stuff will still happen with good edge alignement, but the sword needs some actual momentum behind it

[wet stump]

i think its the amount of blood spilling from your enemy.

[lunar oxide]

hands are still pretty easy to cut off

[wet stump]

the problem is there is auto edge alignment

[lunar oxide]

Not really though. Its pretty easy to hit blunt or just get a glancing blow depending on your orientation.

[wet stump]

ok i think they fixed blunt i just half-sworded a polearm and struck a willie in the throat with the blunt stick end and it crushed his throat and i instantly won

[sweet robin]

fsr3 support would be greAT

[eager musk]

skined his face

[wet stump]

i think i did a bit more than that

[eager musk]

you dont say..

[wet stump]

basically gave him a manual head mri without all the fancy tech (spoiler because jumpscare kinda)

[tight isle]

This what analog horror tried to be

[eager musk]

💀

[wet stump]

willie's bones are hollow

[sleek gull]

Willie is a fungus..

[hearty stone]

just use alt stabs

[lunar oxide]

Alright after like messing around with it for an hour or so. In really do feel like swords need to be touched up a little. They just don't feel right to me. Part of me wonders if the footwork is partially to blame, but I don't know. I need to do more testing later.

[hearty stone]

does nobody use the alt tap stab

[lunar oxide]

I used to, but double tap just feels better than the playtest.

[hearty stone]

yeah I don't think you know what i mean

hold lmb + alt, move mouse upwards to extend weapon, let go of alt

[sleek gull]

heck yeah I do
