halfsword-chat-⚔

[hearty stone]

now you can press alt while holding lmb to return it to that position and get a spammable stab from multiple angles

it changed my life

way better alignment than double tap

[warm forge]

can yall add more countries for the factions like the ottomans, byzantines, etc?

[hearty stone]

go to #1047240101152960525 for feature requests

[sleek gull]

I am able to map my mouse buttons to keyboard buttons. So Alt is one of my side mouse buttons.

[gilded breach]

my sibling download ovrdth selector
it does the copying and pasting for you

[hearty stone]

I might actually try controller, there's not that many buttons in use

[wanton owl]

wait there are mods for half sword???

[sleek gull]

Certainly are. Nexusmods.com

[hearty stone]

yeah try the custom weapons they're fun

[tight isle]

Why did I not think to use joy2key for this

I hate having stab on alt

[hearty stone]

joy2key has been the best solution since before half of you were born

[wanton owl]

omg

[hearty stone]

it's amazing

[tawdry vale]

There's no Goedendag, it's just the Plancon

[wet stump]

I call this dance move "castration"

[wanton owl]

how do i apply the mod

[tight isle]

Depends which mod

[sleek gull]

Each mod should have intructions on their respective pages

[wanton owl]

k

[tawdry vale]

Did the update change the "Arrow Time" sound effect?

[naive holly]

Apparently so

[worn nimbus]

would show you but i cant post media in this channel

[gilded breach]

swinging sounds were changed too

[tawdry vale]

I was wondering what that noise was

[gilded breach]

got more bass to em now

[tight isle]

Sounds chunky

[sleek gull]

I like the new sound

[wanton owl]

i instaled hs enhancer mod

[wet stump]

you can use #game-footage-🎮🎥 and send the message link here. wont show up as an embed tho

[worn nimbus]

one sec

[tight isle]

They should make great swords just a litttttle bit easier to control

They don't need a whole lot

[worn nimbus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VjoJYpYAkI I use stabs a lot in this video

[tight isle]

Stab stab stab

[turbid minnow]

the combat feels alot better now

[sleek gull]

Why does Willie move so fast?!

[tawdry vale]

I also noticed the plancon is easier to fight.

[tight isle]

Swords in KCD1

[unkempt stone]

how annoying, this fatal error, my god, I'm more than 1 month in the final challenge without zueira, I think it will already do 2 months, and is playing daily 1 hour a day and until today still can not get to the last boss, but I came close but always have the fatal error and ends everything, and the worst is that this occurs after a small lagada if the person minimizes the error tab the person can continue playing normally but then the game closes, which boring

[wet stump]

nah it should use this sound

[turbid minnow]

the willies are less lethargic now

[worn nimbus]

we need big bonks

maul

[gilded breach]

my willie was never lethargic. always up and about, never droops

[tight isle]

maul would be a good farmer tier weapon

big bonk and they were made of wood so they were lightish

[forest ravine]

What are you talking about?

[turbid minnow]

there should also be a one handed stick in the farmer tier

[forest ravine]

I would also like to point out there is literally no tutorial in the game

[hearty stone]

read further down

[forest ravine]

Yyyyea?

That is literally what I was talking about

Is there a non-alt stab?

[hearty stone]

I have sent other messages explaining what I was talking about

i thought you just meant hold alt and move the mouse

[glad sparrow]

updated billhooks are so good holy shit they feel so 𝓼 𝓶 𝓸 𝓸 𝓽 𝓱

I feel like the peasant axe got shadow buffed

[turbid minnow]

the swords feel great to

[jolly gorge]

They added new choking animation when willie is on floor gurgling

[empty tiger]

has there been any clarification in why there isn't a halfsword grip for left handed stance?

[jolly gorge]

it's more realistic now

[forest ravine]

Maybe I don't understand? I know about doing what you said with keeping lmb held and then tapping alt again and it like flicks the weapon around, but in like a wide slash, not in a second stab

[keen mica]

am i the only one whos like

center crosshair isnt work

[forest ravine]

I wish there WAS a comprehensive movement guide to the game

[glad sparrow]

I think they're focusing on optimization and physics, and honestly I don't want a left handed halfsword in the state the game is right now, I much prefer being able to use a weapon left hand only

[empty tiger]

agreed we need morningstars & flails

[errant saffron]

does anyone know the default damage for player and NPC? i changed it a bit to get through the ultimate challenge

[empty tiger]

fair

[glad sparrow]

oh center crosshair is a carry over option from the demo, there's no actual crosshair

[keen mica]

so there wont be one?

not in the future

[sonic moat]

now that characters stay upright more easily fights feel super good

[glad sparrow]

I don't know, maybe in the future

[empty tiger]

dont need one, when in doubt keep swinging til your willie pases out

[true thorn]

maces can already spawn with morningstar heads

[true thorn]

that's boring though

[glad sparrow]

maybe they'll focus on stances after early access gets dropped? I know that's far away but, yeah

[empty tiger]

true, tbh some of those maces should be 2h weapons

[wet stump]

anyone else hate that it changes your guard the moment before the enemy is close?

[turbid minnow]

your weapon position?

[wet stump]

yeah forgot to add the word

[turbid minnow]

yes

[glad sparrow]

I don't, passive parry is the goat, you just need to accept that passive parry is better than your active parry sometimes

[empty tiger]

its an auto parry feature

its pretty mint imo

[wet stump]

no im trying to parry and it moves my sword away from the enemy's

[glad sparrow]

I do like that they're focusin on physics first, I'd like to be able to zwerchau, or adjust thrust height with mousewheel

[empty tiger]

feels so close yet so far. i really hope q4 25 is still the release date

[glad sparrow]

Yeah, that happens when you're being too active with your parry

[wet stump]

YES PLEASE WRIST MOVEMENT WOULD BE SICK

[turbid minnow]

thats probably the auto parry screwing you up

[wet stump]

Im holding my weapon still 😭

[turbid minnow]

thats literally it

[turbid atlas]

Can you give me a hand?

[wet stump]

another problem is when the enemy gets close your mouse sensitivity is like quintupled

at least it feels like that

[empty tiger]

i had a fight like that where the last guy in last stand was missing an arm screaming, i tried to end it for him but instead i cut his other arm off lmao

[turbid minnow]

the game right now doesn't favor static blocks so you have to move the weapon around to parry properly ( active blocking)

[wet stump]

i am also moving my sword toward the enemy sword so their sword doesnt end up up my arse

[empty tiger]

does your mouse have sensitivity buttons on the side by chance

[glad sparrow]

nope, axe didn't get shadow buffed, hoe got shadow buffed, holy fucking shit

[empty tiger]

axe & polearm meta forever

[wet stump]

my previous one did but its not a problem. ill be fine

[naive holly]

This is how you deal with the battle axe btw

[empty tiger]

ooh okay i turn mine all the way up cause i feel like the swings are smoother with it

[glad sparrow]

self report that your footsies aren't good

[turbid minnow]

I think every weapon got a handling buff

[empty tiger]

how dare you come with such heinous accusations

[glad sparrow]

yeah that's what the changelog says

honestly

[wet stump]

polearm was also meta irl before they decided to put the weird grey flour grandma found into a tube

[glad sparrow]

since the axe and hoe struggled so much to bad handling

it feels like they benefit way more

hoe used to just be viable if you hit a perfect 90 degree over the head swing

[turbid minnow]

definitely a much needed update tbh

[glad sparrow]

all my billhook swingers are eating like kings

[tight isle]

its very inaccurate and not good in an actual battle but u can zwerchau

its the closest to what we got

[glad sparrow]

yeah sure

[turbid minnow]

how do you do that

[tight isle]

the first message was funny it didnt have to be deleted 💔

[glad sparrow]

it was too negative

[wet stump]

yeah especially since who the hell has guns in hema

[tight isle]

probably the secret pirate class

[flat delta]

flails sound like an amazinig idea

[glad sparrow]

they unsuited, went all the way to their locker, opened it, grab their everyday carry, and put a nine mil an inch into my skull

[flat delta]

and when tf do i get level 2

:c

[tight isle]

it probably sucks dick and balls cause its locked to the action of swinging ur sword upwards and then doing the stab

[storm storm]

They fall so weirdly after the update

instead of to the side they always go forward

[north niche]

please tell me this game will have co-op

[tight isle]

any multiplayer is not currently in development and wont be for like

a lonnnnggg time

pray for the modders

[wet stump]

I mean the world wars were history and happened mainly in europe, and by definition shooting is a martial art, so firing a m1911 into the skull of your enemy is technically HEMA

[tight isle]

its true since the world wars are history

[sleek gull]

Mine tend to come downward rather than across the neck.

[wet stump]

any war , really

[pallid oar]

i think the devs are trying to be more realistic

[inland snow]

блять ну ахуеная игра

[tight isle]

that handle strike is nasty

or crossguard oop

[pallid oar]

it's so easy to do

[empty tiger]

you cant control your body when you're dead

[pallid oar]

i almost have 100 hours on the demo and I've practically mastered every weapon

[sleek gull]

hehe, I got a touch too close. Should had been the blade

[tight isle]

easy and clean are two different things

[sleek gull]

Word. Post it up!

[tight isle]

i think people suffered enough of my clips we need cash clips

[flat delta]

how do you do it

[pallid oar]

12k dpi

[flat delta]

you guys are not humans

[tight isle]

its not a dpi thing i got slow as hell sens

[pallid oar]

so you just send your mouse flying for one swing?

how much dpi you got your mouse set on

[tight isle]

idk if its consistent across brands for dpi

but i think i keep it around 1500?

[storm storm]

duh...?

[pallid oar]

1500 is diabolical to be swinging that fast

[wet stump]

little baby missing his leg? be grateful, i took the skin of the other guy

[pallid oar]

so doesn't your wrist hurt after a while?

lwk

personally

i just don't move my mouse

as much as y'all

[sleek gull]

Nope. I actually don't move the mouse very much. Like, smaller movements

[wet stump]

i need low dpi to do precise movements in 1st person

[flat delta]

anyone else find it really satisfying to just punch someone into submission when they have a weapon

just grab them n start wailing on their head

[pallid oar]

i'd say a good 25-30 milimeters to the side and I just moved my cursor from one side to the other on my screen

so what abt you

[wet stump]

i PAID for the entire mousepad and i WILL use the entire mousepad

[glad sparrow]

Also, the optimization changes are real

[flat delta]

WORD

amount 25 mm

[glad sparrow]

I'm soooo happy bro

[flat delta]

about*

[pallid oar]

i don't think they are rael, lwk my fps stayed the same

[wet stump]

they pretend they didnt do them but its like obvious

[glad sparrow]

I play on high even though my card isn't the best for it (1050 ti) and it actually runs smoothly now I used to get 20-30

[pallid oar]

if they fix dx12 and optimize the game like fully ima be the happiest man on earth

[wet stump]

dismemberment and stabbing doesnt lag nearly as much anymore

[tight isle]

our sens are almost the same urs is just a tiny bit lower

[tight isle]

you'd consider this to be fast?

[wet stump]

one day. its bound to happen eventually

[pallid oar]

kinda

[glad sparrow]

did I mention how much I love brave stand

also, the

I like the balancing buff but

[tight isle]

brave stand my beloved

[pallid oar]

brave stand as the baron is lwk a deathwish for the other willies

[flat delta]

how tf

[pallid oar]

if that's fast for you then you're cooked

[glad sparrow]

it does weird things when on rough terrain, I just loaded onto great stand and my fuckin willie is standing on one leg

[tight isle]

dont let them see m00

[glad sparrow]

motherfucker you are NOT the karate kid get on a good stance

bro thinks he's doing crane kicks in vet rank 😭

[gaunt cedar]

Hell yeah

[glad sparrow]

ok vital damage did get buffed I just clocked a willie's head clean off

I think his head immediately despawned

[deep cradle]

YEES

THEY FINALLY FIXED STABBING

LETS GOO

[pallid oar]

WE CAN FINALLY DOUBLE CLICK NOW?

[turbid minnow]

how fps do you have?

[sleek gull]

120 FPS

[tight isle]

i dont need mousespeed when i can just aurafarm on my opponent by swinging at the air across the field

[sleek gull]

The way I see it is, you can only move your sword so far to either side. If you slowly move to the furthest it will go, you can get used to playing within that area. So long mouse movements across the desk shouldn't be necessary.

[pallid oar]

how do you manage

whats your resolution

[sleek gull]

1920x1080

[pallid oar]

brother

i can barely pull 60

on that

i just do borederless

[agile zephyr]

i was doing the one life challenge thing

[pallid oar]

and the lowest resolution

[agile zephyr]

it crashed and uh

lost all me progress

[sleek gull]

I am also borderless.

i712700
rtx4070
32gb RAM

[pallid oar]

well no shit youre gonna be pulling 120 fps

32 gigs of ram

latest graphic card

and a broken ass cpu

[sleek gull]

Hell yeah brother!

[pallid oar]

yeah surely my laptop that has half of your specs can compete

16 gigs of ram

rtx 3050

and i5

i even overclocked my gpu and cpu and ram

even went from 144 to 157 hz

[tight isle]

the resolution is stupid it doesnt have 2560x1080 so im stuck at 1920x1080

[sleek gull]

I cap my FPS. I could go higher, but I start to lose smoothness in movement

[pallid oar]

uncap your fps rq and tell me how much you get

[tight isle]

bros gonna have a super computer

[pallid oar]

his build is prolly worth over 3k dollars already

[sleek gull]

bounces between 118 and 149

[tight isle]

i lied i got one more decent clip before my ass needs to nap before work

[pallid oar]

jesus

just move to dx12 already

[glad sparrow]

balancing might be buffed but willies are still stupid as always

[sleek gull]

Thats where my computer struggles.

[glad sparrow]

I just watched a spear willie fall from trying to lower their ass into a balanced stance

[pallid oar]

oh yeaah i forgot, the devs added their own little special lighting in dx12 that obv fucks up your fps

[tight isle]

bro was not balanced

[sleek gull]

Big time. It is really pretty, no doubt. But my frames drop to like 60

[pallid oar]

no way 60 is bad

[sleek gull]

well...on Epic

[tight isle]

bros bad is our barely manageable

[sleek gull]

Lemme double check, its been a while since I play with dx12

[tight isle]

i wonder does anyone at all play on cinematic

[pallid oar]

yo dx12 has better graphics

lwk

well obv

better rendering software or wtv

[sleek gull]

Between 80-95 on Epic DX12.

When blood begins to pour, drops to like 75

Capping at 90 helps keep it more stable

[pallid oar]

baaaalright

i can barely pull 80 without any blood

on high

dx11

lowest resolution

[turbid minnow]

I tried the the sword and shield and its really good with the stabbing rework. now it isn´t just a pushing match when fighting shields

[tight isle]

im not really a big fan of one handing the weapons

[pallid oar]

who is tbh

[tacit prawn]

Big Willie

[tacit prawn]

me

[pallid oar]

knifes don't count

[little verge]

Sometimes you have to adapt to survive.

[tight isle]

nothings come close to the get over here tech and im still chasing that high from the playtest

[tight isle]

u gotta a little willie on ur sword there

[winter stream]

why when i litteraly penetrate the enemy with my longsword multiple times he proceeds to fight as if nothing happened, but if you poke him with a spear once, (not even 7cm deep) he just dies

[tight isle]

ur probably not stabbing in the right places

[winter stream]

the thing is, no matter where you stab, the spear oneshots them, the sword doesnt

sword oneshots in the head, and in some places where you hit an artery and he starts to panic

willies must be so traumatised by spears so they die as soon as you poke them

[tight isle]

have u considered that
a. spears are just a bigger area of damage to where u stab them
b. the force behind a spear stab is greater than a swords stab

[rotund adder]

when is the tech demo coming out?

[tight isle]

its out

[rotund adder]

cant download

[tacit prawn]

I don't use knifes

[rotund adder]

when i press it doesnt do anything

[winter stream]

still weird that you can stab trough the willy multiple times without him noticing

[tight isle]

have u gone to ur downloads tab and see if its popped up just not downloading

[tacit prawn]

ok Michael

[copper frost]

finally did the ultimate challenege after the new update

[rotund adder]

yeah it isnt doing nothin

whats the diffrence between tech demo and regular anyway?

[tight isle]

tbh i dont go for direct stabs on sword anymore cause most other times it seems like a slash would do better

[little verge]

Whom is Michael?

[tight isle]

there is no regular its only the tech demo rn

is it micheal afton

[rotund adder]

my game isnt named tech demo tho

isnt that whats its supposed to be named?

[tight isle]

it would just be called half sword demo

[rotund adder]

mm thats weird

[tight isle]

if u are trying to play "halfsword playtest" ur on the wrong version

[rotund adder]

ohhhhh i see

ye

[onyx harbor]

What rank do you get the greatsword

[plucky hatch]

I think it is the same rank when you start getting a full chestplate?

[cursive compass]

What happens when you beat the final challenge

[onyx harbor]

ah ok

[scenic narwhal]

Single handed spears are actually usable now... Also noticed the slowmo sound is different

[plucky hatch]

nice, I noticed in general stabbing was pretty wack, especially one-handed. It would always cause the weapon to flop around

[fallow sentinel]

DEAD OR ALIVE UR COMING WITH ME

[onyx harbor]

Just discorvered the best strategy of the game: rush and flail around when you get fatally wounded

works especially well with long tip weapons like spear

[fallow sentinel]

he aint giving up and i cant get it out

[onyx harbor]

(i've used this strategy precisely once)

[plucky hatch]

The most dangerous opponent is one with nothing to lose 😔

[onyx harbor]

exactly

[pallid oar]

chat

i overclocked yet again

now im getting 70-80 fps average

no artifacts

[fallow sentinel]

still not giving

[pallid oar]

cut both his legs or arms off

or cut them all off

[onyx harbor]

my strat has worked a second time

unfortunately i cant send pictures

[scenic narwhal]

One thing I really wish we had for swords was lunging. Only being able to poke your sword out with your arms is not particularly realistic.

[onyx harbor]

but i sliced his body in half

[fallow sentinel]

it gave way eventually

[scenic narwhal]

I'm not sure how it would be implemented exactly, but it is very much needed

[onyx harbor]

i literally just defeated the boss with this

that is insne

[scenic narwhal]

Though stabbing seems more accurate now in general which is nice.

[onyx harbor]

he had a really long spear thingy

[fallow sentinel]

most op axe

[plucky hatch]

is there a way to turn off whatever filtering is enabled? It seems to have a kind of grainy effect

IDK how you would implement something like a high horizontal swing either

I also have a memory leak about 40% of the time when I open the game lol. And about half the time when I die and go to the Abyss or when I load out of the Abyss. The game never loads, I get an error window, and task manager says the game is using something like 9.5GB of ram

[onyx harbor]

There is a graphics setting yes, the lowest one is absolute grainy and super bad but it can run better with lower spec. I take the middle option on mine (I run a Laptop rtx4070)

[scenic narwhal]

We are pretty limited for graphics settings. Probably an early access thing

[onyx harbor]

Options -> Display -> first setting at the top is "Graphics" just toggle it while in the training to suit yourself

[pallid oar]

so erm, i think my laptop has turned into a beast now

not even 1%

is tuff

as fuck

[scenic narwhal]

It seems extreme in DX12 removes some form of upscaling

[pallid oar]

i mean my pc did boot up in 3 seconds

[odd cave]

What to do in the abyss When u die and come in there

[pallid oar]

after overclocking

*laptop

[plucky hatch]

lol. I looked and was on medium. It was a 112fps, which feels better than normal? I then put it to Cinematic just to test and went down to 12FPS lol

[onyx harbor]

yeah the high side is actually kinda crazy

[onyx harbor]

each setting changes so drastically

I keep mine on high

[scenic narwhal]

Maybe something like kick key and stab at the same time

For lunging

[fallow sentinel]

i play ultra 120fps

[scenic narwhal]

And DX12 graphics looks very different to DX11.

[onyx harbor]

pretty fire

[plucky hatch]

dang!

I have a 3070, what are you running?

[fallow sentinel]

not true only shadows change between directX

[onyx harbor]

how do i check my fps?

[scenic narwhal]

Lighting seems a bit different to me as well, including how light sources like sparks or candles affect things, but regardless shadows alone make a big difference

[fallow sentinel]

RTX 3060 12gb, i79700k, 16gb ram and 2tb ssd

[onyx harbor]

2tb ssd is crazy

[plucky hatch]

wack. Maybe because I'm at 1440p?

[onyx harbor]

or maybe only cuz i just have a laptop

[dawn vale]

fights feel way better now with the update

[plucky hatch]

My CPU is also not very good - but going by my usage stats, I shouldn't be bottlenecking

[onyx harbor]

i died the first match i got on but it does feel much better ngl

[scenic narwhal]

I'm 1440p ultrawide on high. Generally get a stable locked 60fps with my 6800

[fallow sentinel]

1080p and 4k are not much different when it comes to video games u wont notice major changed infact i think higher resolution is more grainy

[onyx harbor]

how do yall tell the difference between a greatsword and longsword

[scenic narwhal]

lol

[scenic narwhal]

One's long and the other great

[onyx harbor]

infinite wisdom

[fallow sentinel]

i have a friend who plays cinematic at 60fps coz hes got 128gb of ram

[scenic narwhal]

🤮

[rocky wave]

hey is there a release date for half sword ?

[plucky hatch]

that's my understanding, anyway. Without being able to pick a specific weapon type for your loadout, it's hard to say. A thin greatsword could be thinner than a wide longsword, if that makes sense?

[void orbit]

Q4 2025 is planned for early access #faq

[rocky wave]

thanks

[prisma quest]

What is a warstaff?

[plucky hatch]

they call him the blender, he just don't stop swinging

[latent moon]

oh my god why are you right

[sharp palm]

hey guys, i just joined the cord, but i was just wondering if character customization has been addressed yet?

[latent moon]

yes
long ago

[plucky hatch]

I think there is a nexus mod that lets you set a loadout?

I have not tried it though

[latent moon]

wrong post

[sharp palm]

J:> i have tried it, it is out of date for the demo

[plucky hatch]

dang

[latent moon]

THIS!

[plucky hatch]

where's willie's willie?

[sharp palm]

YOOOOO! i love this.

[latent moon]

it only goes up to 180 cm 😢
i wanna have a huge willie

[fallow sentinel]

power hit

[latent moon]

download the updated one
it works

[latent moon]

this might sound stupid but try that in a sword fight
its stupidly effective against a wounded willie

[plucky hatch]

half the time I go for something cool like that, I had up skewering myself on Willie's sword because my body is covering willie's rightside

[sharp palm]

i am a huge fan of mordhau and chivalry for the freedom it gives compared to other medieval fighting games, but HS makes me realize just how much more there could be with the physics systems. i am v pumped for the full release. i really hope i can make my own loadout.

[sharp palm]

is it ovrdths mods? or is it the QOL mod with ovrdths mod?

[latent moon]

ovrdth selector i beilive

there is version 4.5.0

ovrdth's selection

[fallow sentinel]

i have over 100 hours bro ive done everything in the game

[latent moon]

that worked for me in the demo

[pallid oar]

willie actually falls so realistically now

[fallow sentinel]

fist fight and the 6th class is the most fun i just play fist fight coz it reflects my personality

[sharp palm]

yeah, i have that as well. i am a big fan of ovrdth, but i saw there is a way to make your own class with the QOL mod as well that involves injecting HS with the DLL from the QOL mod, in the end, it was outdated, and your crier wept in town.

[sharp palm]

oh man, this is a good one

[fallow sentinel]

u can make ur own classes if u know how to edit files

[sharp palm]

hmmmmmmmmmmm

[vernal oyster]

hey guys, can anyone do me a giant favor and send a screenshot of the default damage settings? Or a way to reset them to default without resetting my progress to ultimate challenge?

[twilit cargo]

Hey

How do you reset your progress?

[sharp palm]

i have done a lil bit of file editting in my days, but i have a feeling this one could be a bit more difficult

[fallow sentinel]

i like long fist fights as it reflects character building

[elfin abyss]

yo lets goo new sword update

[vernal oyster]

Oh I don't know I just didn't want to accidentally

[elfin abyss]

hal-sword*

Fuck

[vernal oyster]

I tweaked my damage settings before realizing there is no button to set them back to default

[elfin abyss]

anyways

[latent moon]

just like
put them in the middle
thats it

[fallow sentinel]

i hate fights where i kill a guy in 1 hit sometimes its cool but i like a real challenge even though its easy

[vernal oyster]

oh, so default IS in middle? thank u bro i wasnt sure if i remembered correctly

[robust barn]

bruh the nerfed unarmed damage so fuckin much

like its nowhere near as powerful as it was

[waxen lance]

if i'm not mistaken, this IS an actual sword stance, no?

[twilit cargo]

How does one reset their progress? I'm stuck at the last thing

[vernal oyster]

I can't throw people at all anymore after this update

[sharp palm]

close to oberhau!

[vernal oyster]

you could probably just find the save file and delete it or reinstall the game

[twilit cargo]

How do you get your guy to look like that?!?

[waxen lance]

a mod

[sharp palm]

i dont know the exact term for the guard, but i usually just call it a high guard

[twilit cargo]

I didn't know this game had mods

[waxen lance]

it works really fuckin well

[plucky hatch]

how is falling/getting up feel? One of the most annoying things I found was like, once you're on the ground there's a 95% chance you're cooked, Willie will not get up with any speed for anything

[waxen lance]

(it really doesnt)

[waxen lance]

its updated so you get up almost instantly

[vernal oyster]

C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\SaveGames @twilit cargo

I'm assuming it's "SG Gauntlet Progress.sav"

[twilit cargo]

Thank you

[vernal oyster]

if you delete that file and then restart the game it should reset your progress theoretically, I have not tried this. If anything goes wrong by deleting it you can just verify game files through steam and it will generate a new copy of that file @twilit cargo

[solemn knot]

You're telling me i cant keep all tiers unlocked + baron after finishing it 💔

[sharp palm]

damn, i want to be able to post screenshots too! you guys are making me envious

[plucky hatch]

nice. On the flipside the only way I really found to beat an armoured opponent was to get them on the ground and keep hitting them until they stay down

[solemn knot]

nvm

[sharp palm]

do i just need to have more time and messages in the server to send pictures?

[vernal oyster]

you should also probably make a backup of the file on your desktop @twilit cargo

[twilit cargo]

Alright

[true zealot]

i hate it when i do smt sorta cool and my medal fucks the clip

[twilit cargo]

How many hours yall got on the game?

[latent moon]

at least u dont need medal premium to not have a watermark

[sleek gull]

496

[true zealot]

nah i just use a bypass to get the video without the watermark

[twilit cargo]

Jeez

[latent moon]

same

[twilit cargo]

Thats a lot 😭

[sharp palm]

i found it. it is called "ox guard"

[formal lichen]

for anyone that doesnt know

[latent moon]

downside is i gotta trim all my clips to be below 10mb
and that results in clips that are sometimes only up to like 6 seconds long

[twilit cargo]

Is there a way to remove the way you loose stam when you slow down time?

[sharp palm]

i have a bit over 100 hours. slowly but surely getting better with "combo-ing" attacks.

[onyx harbor]

i just literally fucked the man at arms boss

i half sworded him and brought him to his knees

[formal lichen]

u could also upload it to youtube as unlisted

[twilit cargo]

Idk why my computer struggles to run the Demo 😭

Gotta play on Medium

[sharp palm]

J:> i had the same problem! what is your fps set to?

[latent moon]

at that point i could just create a medal link

[twilit cargo]

Like max

[twilit cargo]

I think

[sharp palm]

good god

i had to set mine to 60, which i usually dont like to do, but it made HS run significantly better

[formal lichen]

but then you have watermark, wouldnt you rather go out of your way and put in too much effort to get rid of the watermark?

[twilit cargo]

Maybe I should reinstall the game and hopefully that will fix something

[latent moon]

True

[twilit cargo]

Anyone else play a lot of Fist Fight?

[latent moon]

I love fisting willies

[twilit cargo]

😭 👍

[formal lichen]

how do people struggle on this boss so hard

[still shard]

@vagrant ravine I just saw your video in game footage

I had something similar happen to me lmfao

[twilit cargo]

I swear the AI is better with the Bosses

[still shard]

I also find that boss to be the hardest, due to it's long sword being able to reach you before you reach him

[formal lichen]

i just realized my mic was on and the only thing u can hear is my keyboard

[muted granite]

just realised, if u spin for awhile with shift and hold left mouse button

the attack is wild

dying light heavy melee spin ahh

[still shard]

I find very small difference from before

but the game is definitely more optimized

[muted granite]

or infact u dont even need to hold m1, just look down

[latent moon]

which dying light 🧐

[twilit cargo]

Why is doing spin kicks harder now?

[true zealot]

truthful and honest answer
How long did it take you to get this clip

[latent moon]

DYING LIGHT 2 WINDMILL ATTACK?

[amber estuary]

Once you've beaten every tier, is there a way to restart or at least turn enemies down to previous tiers? I wanna fight low gear normal mode again.

[muted granite]

both

[sharp palm]

guys, i am tooting my own horn here, and i dont care. i just posted a clip in the #photography📷 channel, and i am so damn proud of it. one of my best uses of tail guard.

[muted granite]

bro its actually so op wtf

[formal lichen]

that was my first try on the gauntlet yesterday 💀

[latent moon]

can u send a clip?
i dont seem to understand

[formal lichen]

honestly its not that hard! swords are peak and destroy all the bosses up to tier 6

after that i use polearms or war hammers

[waxen lance]

me and my "lightsaber"

[sleek gull]

Glass Long Sword

[tawdry vale]

You can destroy Knights with Swords

Greatsword my beloved

[muted granite]

just spin with any two handed melee

hold shfit too so its faster

[lavish vigil]

half sword devs lowkey one of the best teams out there rn

[muted granite]

ur arms usually extend

somewhat

[muted granite]

or 1

[latent moon]

there is an even cooler way to do spin attacks tho

i call it the "rook strat"

[formal lichen]

yes but i like the crunch of the armor a lot, seeing the massive dent on the helmet where i crushed the guys skull in is a lot more satisfying with armor, its hard to get a good cut or thrust in with a sword at high tiers

[latent moon]

The rook strat is so difficult i only managed to pull it off twice

[formal lichen]

ok i found one where i forgot to turn off non game audio (was watching chrbrg rimworld video) but i think youll like this one if u found that other clip to look difficult

wait

it doesnt translate here only the mic audio is playing 😭

medal is bad

whatever

[warped apex]

how do we feel about the new patch?

[formal lichen]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kkOngYN3LkSFHIG4g?invite=cr-MSxzRnMsNjI4ODIwNQ
medal link because i dont want to look stupid about there being no audio

[tawdry vale]

I don't know how, but I managed to get a hold of a Willie's head with a greatsword and break his neck.

[amber estuary]

Your 1st strike looked like a nerf axe lol. Low damage setting or weird hit reg?

[formal lichen]

thats amazing

[latent moon]

im still laughing about the guy who called me a blender

[amber estuary]

Sick parry though

[willow linden]

what

[true zealot]

wasnt that i found it difficult, more surprised

[warped apex]

blocking & parrying feels the same I guess everything just feels Slower?

[twilit cargo]

I wish the Fist Fight AI was willing to just stand and bang instead of clinching immediately 😭

[latent moon]

I shared a clip
and someone said "They call him the blender,because he doesnt stop moving his sword"

[formal lichen]

i think i barely missed him with the blade and hit with the handle, heres my dmg settings

[twilit cargo]

Lock on is kinda annoying when you are facing more than 1 opponent

[amber estuary]

Ahh fair. thought you had low damage to NPC for difficulty

[latent moon]

rook strat failed so bad here

[heavy valve]

hey guys does anyone here know how to consistently break legs in fist play?

[formal lichen]

i keep it off when facing multiple ppl, u can turn it off easily by pressing Z instead of in settings

[twilit cargo]

Oh, I didn't know that

[latent moon]

i only know how to break arms
which is LOTS of 90° spin kicks

[formal lichen]

always check all the keybinds

[formal lichen]

i practice with longsword a lot and it somehow translates to peasant axe fights

[quasi gale]

i think he got something in his nose

[warped apex]

you can't leave free cam lol

[latent moon]

W or L rook strat?

in true rook strat,you are meant to move as straight as possible and stab willie with all the force you generate

[honest thorn]

You should try spinning like that then pressing alt for a second

Sometimes you can cut right through willies like that

[quasi gale]

who cares

[warped apex]

I like the free cam I just had to close my game to get back into the game though lol

[latent moon]

i didnt really mean to cut
i meant to recreate this

i call it rook strat because my willie moves like a rook

straight line,obliterates his target

[valid crane]

how long does it take to get out of beggar?

[latent moon]

3 points
(1 single combat and 1 multiple combat or 3 single combats if u dont like multiple combat)
and then the boss
big guy with an axe and a helmet,gear scattered across the floor

or if you seem unable to get out,you might be playing beggar on free mode which doesnt contain boss fights

[valid crane]

thx man

[formal lichen]

i failed
https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kl7ArNlzgWekM3wLN?invite=cr-MSw3UUQsNjI4ODIwNQ

[latent moon]

You only ran?!
youre meant to go REALLY fast while doing it

thats just a normal rushby

[formal lichen]

how are u supposed to go faster than that\

[latent moon]

look at my clip
I do the speed glitch

[true zealot]

"bro i just found a bad goth bitch, trust"
The state I find bro in a week later:

[formal lichen]

i prefer to parry and strike anyway
https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kl7CE2NE7s3h8ZdcO?invite=cr-MSwxcHQsNjI4ODIwNQ

[latent moon]

you spin to one side and hold the movement directions to go where you want to go
Basically 1) camera goes right,you hold A 2)camera goes backwards,you hold S 3) camera goes left, you hold D 4) camera goes forward,you hold W
repeat step 1

[latent moon]

same its more reliable

rook strat is kind of luck reliant

[vernal oyster]

first time ive ever crashed after 100 hours and its on this update >:/

farthest ive gotten in ultimate challenge

[formal lichen]

blunt weapons feel great this patch

[coral tendon]

the crashes are insane lol

[formal lichen]

long mace is OP now

[amber estuary]

I've crashed quite a bit but it seems like it's only when the game is running for a while (afk, come back) <-- least for me

[coral tendon]

i just crashed on death on a weaponless run and lost all my progress

on veteran

[upper wigeon]

🪦

[coral tendon]

🥀

[vernal oyster]

does anyone else feel like this patch put grappling in the grave officially?

now that characters are even harder to knock down, I can't throw anyone

I was hoping that change would only apply to players, since it seems like we already fell down easier than the npcs

[formal lichen]

it'd be pretty hard to throw someone of equal strength who isn't already a bit dazed and hurt IRL so

just knock em up a bit first

[vernal oyster]

what?

[formal lichen]

thats what worked for me

[vernal oyster]

Have you ever wrestled or grappled irl

[formal lichen]

yeah actually

[vernal oyster]

yeah I can very easily throw someone stronger than me if they allow me to put them into a hip toss position, which is easily achieved in the game

[formal lichen]

oh i havent tried that

[vernal oyster]

I do jiu jitsu at 160 lbs and can throw people that weigh 220 in practice

granted they throw me a lot more

[formal lichen]

you win lol

[vernal oyster]

sorry I'm not trying to win, I just wish the physics were still like this

https://youtu.be/dkklP_vuKHI

[formal lichen]

i was joking i didnt mean to position it that way

[vernal oyster]

check out this guy hip tossing people and doing cool wrist locks

[formal lichen]

i was simply conceding that you have much more experience than me fighting

[vernal oyster]

it's not possible anymore for some reason

[formal lichen]

i see

[vernal oyster]

I get what you're saying, I know it's really hard to take internet warriors at face value, grappling is a huge passion of mine IRL and I think this game is the closest you can get to simulating it

[true zealot]

i call it the pawn strat
not for the reason you think.

[latent moon]

kill him when he goes diagonal

[vernal oyster]

I'm not sure why they think the community prefers the enemies feet to be glued to the floor, I can get absolutely perfect grips and leverage and spin them around but they never actually fall

[true zealot]

#1244313050174197850 are crying rn
i know because im crying rn

[vernal oyster]

so I'm forced to just grip with one hand and pummel them with the other or you can kind of spin them into the fence but it's really not as effective as it should be

[humble hazel]

If I move, I'm dead

[vernal oyster]

oh shoot, I didn't even know this was a thing

[formal lichen]

drop pitchfork and grab hoe

then pray

[true zealot]

yeah, check the threads in #game-footage-🎮🎥 , there's a group for every weapon type basically

[humble hazel]

🙏

[vernal oyster]

I will take my whining to the grappling channel LOL

[coral tendon]

does anyone else's game crash after every player death

or is that just me

[young river]

you cant find the save that has your rank can you

[coral tendon]

huh

[vernal oyster]

the save file that has your gauntlet progress??

[young river]

nvm i found it

[vernal oyster]

sweet yeah I found it for someone a second ago I think it's SG Gauntlet Progress.sav

[fluid bloom]

May the halfsword update do what the Marvel Rivals update didn't; make the game better what I enjoy

[young river]

it made the ai better i feel

[fluid bloom]

-# sorry just mad disappointed with the Jeff rework all but neutering every part of him

[alpine oriole]

i really like the new update, i did find two problems though
1: the increased damage to vitals means that the shaft of heavy pole weapons can nearly knock you out just by sliding across your head
2: the stronger foot stance has some jank, i sometimes just start tripping repeatedly also i twised my leg while turning and broke it instantly

[lapis wing]

Wait problems?

[grim wyvern]

Which tier is the quarterstaff in? I have never been able to find it

[honest thorn]

I wonder how long of a life rivals is gonna have

[lapis wing]

Why are these two problems?

[honest thorn]

Was that added as of today?

[formal lichen]

3. the decreased damage to non vitals is causing enemies with major bleeding cuts across their arm (at the normal middle damage level) to not drop or lose control of their weapon

[alpine oriole]

fair

[formal lichen]

im not talking small cuts, like cuts that go across their whole arm and through the muscle

i can see the bone

[alpine oriole]

grazes were already really annoying, now sometimes a pole just nudging you can do you in

[muted granite]

i...

anm wiliee

they allll said in unison

[lapis wing]

What are grazes?

[alpine oriole]

attacks that just barely nick you

also sticks doing repeat collision damage

just by touch

not a hard hit

[grim wyvern]

Don't know, saw someone in a clip using it

[lapis wing]

I noticed that

Happens many times

Ends in my death

[honest thorn]

I'll have to look it but it might be an abyss weapon only

[alpine oriole]

when they said they nerfed the warstaff were they referring to the plancon

[formal lichen]

counterpoint: involuntary orchiectomy
https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kl872PjP6sXMzsp3h?invite=cr-MSxFaFksNjI4ODIwNQ

[grim wyvern]

I know, and I am happy they did, but in a clip I did see someone using a quartestaff, maybe it was a mod, don't know.

[formal lichen]

polearms are no problem!

[alpine oriole]

plancon needed a nerf, imo the heavy halberd was way stronger but i dont know how to nerf it without ruining the point of the weapon

[formal lichen]

the heavy halberd is stronger with a skilled user

plancon could just be thrown around willy nilly and win every time

[alpine oriole]

heavy halberd in my experience was just "you hit the enemy in the head? ok they are either dead or very, very unconcious"

[muted granite]

https://streamable.com/krbydh

[mint wadi]

If you're seeing new weapons, that's a mod.

[muted granite]

yeah

[kindred kernel]

how to reset progress after i copleted the game?

[deep cradle]

NOOOhttps://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kl8cz4kY1FUpEx7DL?invite=cr-MSxTdUwsMjUwODUzOTE3

[grim wyvern]

Alright, a warstaff would be a very cool addition though! 🙂

[modern whale]

for some reason I can't update the game, I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, it gets stuck on 92% and then steam says download corrupted

[deep cradle]

WHAT HAPPENED

[split dove]

gang i might be slow but i don't know how to beat the grete champion with the scythe when i have something that's pretty short ranged you guys have any tips

[formal lichen]

crushed under the weight of your sins

[deep cradle]

use the fork!

[coral tendon]

use a different weapon

[kindred kernel]

how to reset progress after i copleted the game?

[split dove]

what if i don't have a fork

[coral tendon]

thats my best advice

[grim wyvern]

I would just use a pitchfork. Alternatively hoe or axe

[deep cradle]

FORK

[split dove]

you can select your weapon??

[deep cradle]

LOL

[deep cradle]

ye if u randomize

[kindred kernel]

how to reset progress after i completed the game?

[grim wyvern]

You can actually halfsword the big peasant axe and rush him, cutting him in half before he swings

[deep cradle]

but if ur unarmed try to get so close to him the blade dont hit u

[split dove]

that sounds fun

[deep cradle]

and DONT BACK OUT

or else it will hook u and u will get cut

[formal lichen]

ignore audio i forgor to turn off capture of non game audio (its second half of the clip)
https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kkOnvJVEdhrx9iYvG?invite=cr-MSxSTHcsNjI4ODIwNQ

[deep cradle]

if ur out of stamina grab him

[split dove]

thank you other joe

[grim wyvern]

It is very fun, did it in the abyss, you just need to dodge to the right before you aproach so the blade can't hit you

[deep cradle]

no pronlen!!

[grim wyvern]

If you get on the right side of the shythe, he is useless

[deep cradle]

pronblem

porblem

fuck

problem

[deep cradle]

YE

just try to stay out of his blade!

[split dove]

omfg how did i never see the gigantic randomize button on the right

[formal lichen]

your life has been changed

[split dove]

i thought you just had to deal with what you were dealt

[honest thorn]

Just waits til they figure out you can pick up other weapons

[grim wyvern]

Do you guys use lock on btw? I tend to switch a lot in and out of lock on, depending on how many enemies I am fighting and the situation at hand. I have found that getting out of lock on with weapons as swords and then in lock on again when you need it can give some pretty cool outcomes

[honest thorn]

Always on in 1v1, it needs work in other modes with more than one target

[grim wyvern]

Polearms and spears when you are using a sword is always a must on lock on though

[deep cradle]

AYOOOOO https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kl8hmxX7IhMcuDpn-?invite=cr-MSwzUWQsMjUwODUzOTE3

[grim wyvern]

Yeah, although taking it off and then putting it on before you strike in 1vs1 can be very cool sometimes as well

[deep cradle]

Y WILLIE START DOIN THAT

[formal lichen]

not against multiple ppl and in 1v1 i have it set to just under half strength

[grim wyvern]

Halfswording filthy peasants

[jaunty crystal]

love the fatal error in the only ultimate challenge i actually think i can beat

[coral tendon]

https://streamable.com/in1gg3 alternatively, punch him really really hard

[coral tendon]

i get fatal error on death every single time lol

[jaunty mason]

New patch was literally everything I wanted fixed rn.

I love it. 👍 Now I can beat other people with my new and improved bug-free Willie.

[split dove]

holy fuck you move so smoothly

[coral tendon]

it gets even better when you get to militia and can pick allegience

"faster dodging" is actually just faster everything

[formal lichen]

omg i need to try that this patch cuz last patch any time i used that and got to a heavy armored tier i just fell over from moving

[coral tendon]

if you're actually looking to get a really good run then i'd probably still stick with stamina recovery but faster dodging is insanely fun to play around with

faster dodging is especially fun in weaponless because you end up looking like little mac with how fast you can just sidestep and punch people lol

[deep cradle]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kl8vRNbgYUcFDDRNc?invite=cr-MSxvZFcsMjUwODUzOTE3 @split dove ☝️

[coral tendon]

yeah scythe is actually so unbelievably easy once you figure out it can only hit in one direction

least difficult grete champion probably

[deep cradle]

yeaa

most difficult one is axe guy tho 😡

[split dove]

i think i was overthinking it by a mile

[deep cradle]

i hate him so much

hes myy nemesis

[split dove]

there's no way it's that simple

[vernal oyster]

just wait until they make the scythe spam overheads and actually pull it back

right now he never pulls it back

[slow swift]

guys what are the names of the factions in halfsword? I've been wondering it for a while.

[slender hull]

wtf happened here

[slow swift]

pogoman

[deep cradle]

ooohh yee i had same thing happen to me

we should probably tell the developers

oh ok wtf

i just saw the part where u slide

[slender hull]

Thought I escaped

[slow swift]

😭

[deep cradle]

lol

[austere salmon]

is there a functional difference between the spiked mace, the flanged mace, and the round mace

[slow swift]

I looked it up and the first one i think is Germany and the second i think is france, i have no clue what the others are tho

[idle dove]

these updates today have my willies absolutely shaking rn

[quiet spear]

I think spikey deals more damage to flesh, flanged transfers more energy through armour, and round is just.. bad

[honest thorn]

Once you get the hang of it you'll grow to hate mr swordsman in the commoner tier

[honest thorn]

I should download the update

Playing with the big swords is fun

[quiet spear]

you using reshade or do you just have your graphics cranked?

[silent torrent]

I left the server for a bit, came back and Militus is still winning with the big swords

I feel like there's something wrong with my sens or sm how do you swing the swords so fast but still have control

[wanton owl]

i found out that the game doesn't like that u throw people at people

[tender quest]

i play on dx12, you set the graphics to epic hit apply then set it to medium then hit apply

[vernal oyster]

Can experienced players please help me out? This guy made a reddit post the other day showcasing his ability to kill all of the barons unarmed, but his gameplay looks strange to me. I swear it is modded or using a trainer but everyone just downvotes me when I bring it up on reddit, so maybe I'm just bad

I would love y'alls opinion

https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfSword/comments/1kqzprl/unarmed_beggar_willie_vs_every_boss_in_half_sword/

[silent torrent]

(is there a level req for media posting?

[vernal oyster]

I know these moves are technically possible with the fast dodge perk, but I tried all day yesterday to replicate getting behind someone and throwing them like this player is

and no matter what I seem to try or do I cannot move as fast as him even when I face backwards and use dodge tech to fly across the stage

I also noticed that at no point in the video does he EVER get the low stamina vignette, which is really weird to me because after like one good dodge I start to see the vignette with the fast dodge perk

[runic portal]

Guys I’ve finally ordered new pc parts, rtx 4070 and ryzen 7 5700x3d!! Can’t wait

[vernal oyster]

he is moving faster than the barons can turn to face him - when I try this they track me perfectly every time. The only way I've been able to achieve getting slightly behind them is by hitting slow-mo as soon as I'm doing the dodge-spin past them and then un-slowmoing immediately but this puts me on low stam which he never gets

it's really bothering me, if this guys game isn't modded then he has to be one of the best in the world hand's down

[honest thorn]

never change halfsword

[silent torrent]

Militus was sens + DPI do you play at?

[quartz ibex]

are yall having graphics issues? I have a pretty good PC and when i load into the group battles the game stutters hard

[honest thorn]

ue5 moment. itll get better once they optimize it

[quartz ibex]

i assumed as much

[honest thorn]

blood can be turned down to mitigate issue

[slow swift]

I think its Germany, France, England, and then Czech.

[quartz ibex]

czech? or Bohemia?

[night wind]

guys i saw some videos where they inside a castle, starting with a knife? Where can i find that game mode in the demo

[honest thorn]

HRE is one of them

[celest rivet]

I have both damage to player and damage to npc set at max

[honest thorn]

that woudl be germany i assume

[main falcon]

why do i keep getting a fatal error?!

[celest rivet]

Is it supposed to be like that?

[honest thorn]

if you want it to sure

[slow swift]

I have no clue but its one of those two

[honest thorn]

otherwise you can set it down in the middle like its supposed to be

[slow swift]

wait nvm there the same thing

[quartz ibex]

yurrr

At this point in time its probs bohemia

[idle garnet]

hey guys did halfsword get an update?

[slow swift]

Okay

[idle garnet]

i just opened steam and it needed to update

[honest thorn]

i beliebe so

they made some light changes to stuff

[idle garnet]

oh

[honest thorn]

dismemberment feels much better now

[idle garnet]

cool

[honest thorn]

and willy should be less duck legged so you wont trip

[lusty oracle]

darksouls willie

[honest thorn]

guys help im naked now

why am i naked

[idle garnet]

if you win and die

[quartz ibex]

oh yea, when you die in guantlet mode you get sent to the abyss

its like the gulag in cod warzone

you get a chance to go back to the s tage you were at

[honest thorn]

i did not win

[idle garnet]

also i feel like the lighting changed a bit

[main falcon]

erm guys im on the final mode but everything i get an fatal error at some point what is the issue?

[honest thorn]

i am very dead now

XD

[slow swift]

how do you go into camera mode?

[quiet spear]

if you try to draw a weapon without a hand you go flying lmao

[honest thorn]

c

[slow swift]

ok

[honest thorn]

its a very robust camera too xd i like it

[quartz ibex]

I kinda wish the camera was more controllable

[idle garnet]

BRUH

i just got fatal error

[quartz ibex]

idk if its a skill issue, but switching between opponents is a hassle

[idle garnet]

while the game was still running

[honest thorn]

def needs work

[idle garnet]

the whole game was running but it said fatal error

[honest thorn]

sometimes itll give a fatal error but the game pushes through it somehow

[main falcon]

same ong i dont know what the issue is

[honest thorn]

itll crash eventually

[hearty stone]

alright it's time to try the new patch

[honest thorn]

blood n other particle effects are possibly to blame 😛

[idle garnet]

ooh but it was as a beat a boss so it saved

[austere salmon]

man the chaos of binding and dropping your weapon to draw a dagger is fun

[hearty stone]

z to switch lockon /off

oops

[hearty stone]

meant to reply to this

[quartz ibex]

!

[idle garnet]

oh

[quartz ibex]

thanks!

i didnt know that

[honest thorn]

ye

somtimes its a bother to toggle it

[quartz ibex]

lol, what does R do?

it brings up some sort of scroll menu?

[hearty stone]

it brings up a hideously outdated inventory menu that breaks camera mode

and upsets me

should jusut unbind it

[feral sundial]

guys whats a warstaff?

[main falcon]

a staff made for war

duh

[idle garnet]

its a war made for staff

[hearty stone]

billhooks are a nightmare now

they snag so easy

[honest thorn]

in later tiers you get multiple weapons that you can grab from

so if you get disarmed you can grab your side

[quartz ibex]

dont you just do that by pressing e and looking downwards?

[honest thorn]

also key when youre using a 2 handed weapon and your arm gets hurt

if its on the ground, sure

[quartz ibex]

does it put the weapong youre holding on the belt?

or do you just drop it

[honest thorn]

idk, you can unsheathe something too by pressing E or Q if that hands free

[hearty stone]

you don't need to look down

hold q or e to nsheathe yeah

[honest thorn]

^

[hearty stone]

you can also do it to sheathe what you're holding

[split schooner]

How can I obtain the quarterstaff

[lavish estuary]

Divide a full staff by 4

[hearty stone]

it messes me pu that a quarterstaff is still like six feet long

[split schooner]

Thank you so much I will name my firstborn child after you

[hearty stone]

because pikes were like 24

[split schooner]

RiskV2

[honest thorn]

go to a bank and ask for a roll of quarters

[lavish estuary]

Name him gurt

That's my real name trust

[honest thorn]

havent seen it yet so its either an abyss or spoilance weapon atm

[split schooner]

i saw some1 on yt using it against peasant willies

looked so fuckin cool doing all those jujitsu moves

[honest thorn]

could be a mod then

probably a mod

[quartz ibex]

the beggar punching matches are lowkey fun. I think a full version boxing mode would be funny

[split schooner]

urgh i dont really wanna download a trainer mod tho

[honest thorn]

best to wait then 😛

https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/11

these two

[honest thorn]

well there u go

[hearty stone]

I know multiplayer will take forever but I already want it just to show other people who's better

[quiet spear]

wait, I don't think I pinged him

[hearty stone]

I'd say someone else should try making a multiplayer similar game but I don't think anyone is gonna reverse engineer this inverse kinematics shit

[idle dove]

Does the gore slider in the game settings also influence bone breakages? If I crank that gore slider up with a blunt weapon will it be bone breaker central or will there be no real diff

[quiet spear]

@split schooner

[hearty stone]

Luggajo I play at full gore and almost never see bone breaks

but it definitely makes dismembering easier

I had to trn it down becase the first boss kept bisecting me with a single tap

[silent torrent]

My game seems to have bugged

[split schooner]

uohhhh arigato gozaimasu

[idle dove]

I see them pretty regularly on regular settings, you never see them?

[split schooner]

wait do u need a trainer mod for it

[hearty stone]

I jst might not notice them

[quiet spear]

no, you just need OVRDTHS

[silent torrent]

I have the blue armour but the game is treating me like a beggar for fight choice

[lilac venture]

Can you no longer pop heads with a with a mace?

[silent torrent]

So I have full armour in spoilance/fist play

[hearty stone]

I saw and heard a leg break from a kick the other day it was amazing

[idle dove]

very noticable crunch, gonna gave to do some testing

[split schooner]

ahhh soukka

jotto baka

[hearty stone]

try forcing the limbs against their joint

[quiet spear]

enjoy good sir

[hearty stone]

does anyone know how to do armbars? I can grab bt I don't know how to make willie fall backwards

[quiet spear]

I'm gonna go back to bashing skulls in! :D

[quartz ibex]

the mma in this game is pretty cool

the punching feels good, grabbing feels good

[quiet spear]

I mean, if they aren't gonna release UFC for pc

[quartz ibex]

BAHAHAHA

realllll

UFC 1200 (AD) when

[hearty stone]

guys help how do I perform the heat action

[silent torrent]

what

[hearty stone]

maybe if I look down really fast I can hip throw him

[honest thorn]

damn the change in stability is big

going up against fully armored willies and im not getting tossed to the ground

[silent torrent]

Why'd my man in armour start having a panic attack

Kept losing stamina and then fell over

[quiet spear]

i mean, you'd need to get your legs behind his and do it at a funny angle. I still haven't fully mastered throws and grapples and I'm the man wrangler for crying out loud

[silent torrent]

lmao

[lime otter]

how is this a free demo, this is more content then half the stuff on gamepass lmao

[lusty oracle]

tiger drop

[quiet spear]

indie games

[hearty stone]

teach me more of the mangling

YEAHHH HOWS IT FEEL

[quiet spear]

and also.. physics got changed - I'm struggling to do the oldest trick in the book of grabbing a man by the foot and headbutting them in the tum tum

[hearty stone]

I got up close and clinch pummeled him and he dropped the axe

Yeah things are tighter, you cannot just generate instant rotational momentum from nowhere

[honest thorn]

been awhile since i fought axeman

[hearty stone]

panning the camera spun willie so fast

you can still chop someone apart with the polearms by just clicking, without moving the mouse

[silent torrent]

You can also no longer spin-kick I think

[hearty stone]

I can't tell if holding mouse button while grappling increases or decreases the chance it'll break the hold

[humble bloom]

I think its semi random+based on where you tried to grab

[hearty stone]

are you really a VA

did you say ZOUNDS

[humble bloom]

no this is a fan account

[hearty stone]

ah rip

just a tribute

[quiet spear]

you've gotta believe me

[idle crane]

[quiet spear]

idk, but if you grab a Willie's weapon hand with both hands you'll 7/10 disarm him

[hearty stone]

ooh

willie sure is spry on his feet now

[warm kite]

Is controller support planned?

[fluid bloom]

is wiimote support planned?

[feral sundial]

guys whats a warstaff?

[hearty stone]

nothing much what's warstaff with u

[feral sundial]

is there a questions channel or some shit? is that why everyones trolling?

[quiet spear]

also, you can actually lift people if you spam kick

ofcourse, you need to grab them low, but still

[tired badge]

hello, how can i play multiplayer?

[hallow sentinel]

I can’t control where my weapons go I have been at it for days. I can’t even do an overhead strike it goes to the sides not down the middle it’s like my character can’t extend his arm

The place I move my mouse to is not the place the blade lands at

[dreamy phoenix]

I think it's that short polearm weapon that either has an axe or a hammer part at the end

[quiet spear]

lower sensitivity

[hallow sentinel]

How do I control this better? I decreased my dpi to 800 and lowered the sense to the M

[gaunt cedar]

Lower sense and skill

[hallow sentinel]

Now I have a bit more control but I am extremely slow

[gaunt cedar]

Use the class that has the weapon you want to practice with on free play

[thick trellis]

is it just me or fist fights have turned extremely easy now?

[fallow plover]

My game is not working

[gaunt cedar]

Its harder for me

But more fun

[hallow sentinel]

I can still kill the enemy just not the way I intended to happen
