Mods.

rose horizon
#

gib mods

mint wadi
#

Probably a combination of Half Sword Enhanced and ovrdth selector

#

Both on nexus mods.

mental kelp
dreamy phoenix
#

does anyone have any advice on what to do with polearms?

#

getting used to bigger range is a must, overheads feel pretty random so far though

sleek gull
#

Lets Gooooooo!!

mint wadi
# mental kelp

There's so much variation in ways to play this. There's the "im gonna nick'em in the neck with a dainty weapon" and then there's this

mint wadi
dreamy phoenix
#

yeah, maybe there are techniques I don't really get

rich yew
#

since they made you stand harder

#

it's easier to kick people's knees backwards

dreamy phoenix
#

I found out that switching from LMB hold to an RMB hold in the middle of a swing creates momentum

rich yew
#

love this shit

rich yew
dreamy phoenix
#

ye

rich yew
#

if i had a dollar for every time i impaled a guy sideways

dreamy phoenix
#

so that's what I end up using most of the time, but the range is pretty small when you do this

rich bridge
#

what sens do yall use?

rich yew
#

default

#

i tried super high for a bit

#

was okay

#

ive seen super low + high dpi on your mouse is praised a lot

#

but my mouse doesn't have adjustable dpi

#

turns out it does i was wondering what that button does

mint wadi
#

Back at you agian with a cursed screenshot.

rich yew
#

yeah high dpi and low sensitivity is best

rich yew

Guys, hear me out... Hold Willie in reverse grip

#

actually what if you use Willie's heads as a weapon

mental kelp
sleek valve
#

this needs to be possible

mint wadi
dreamy phoenix
rich bridge
rich yew
#

uhhhh

#

how do i explain this

mint wadi
#

dpi is how many pixels your mouse on the screen moves per inch of movement on the mousepad IRL.

rich yew
#

i thought dpi is like

mint wadi
#

I think?

rich yew
#

the amount of times the laser hits

mint wadi
#

Maybe.

rich yew
#

so its like a counter right

mint wadi
#

I think it works both ways but yours is more scientific.

rich yew
#

like lets say for explanations sake its just counting every position; and your sensitivity is just like

mint wadi
rich yew
#

x position plus 1

mint wadi
#

Yeah you right.

#

I'm pretty sure the pixel explanation works though

dusk shuttle
#

im currently in an abyss fight where i lost my left arm at the elbow and im fighting for life wailing my head off with nothing but my legs

#

current score is 900

rich yew
#

so like low dpi and high sensitivity means you can move shit rlly fast but you basically are going to smaller sections

#

less control

mint wadi
#

Cause 800dpi on a 4k screen will be super slow compared to 800dpi on a 1080p screen.

rich yew
rich bridge
dusk shuttle
#

and 900 is how the score will stay unfortunately

rich yew
#

dpi always makes it faster but you'll always have a way to lower that

wind charm
rich yew
#

dpi is like raw pointer speed

#

sensitivity in games or in your system settings are a way to artificially adjust it ig

How do you get the king

rich yew

Oh

#

shut tapir
#

Bruhh

#

I can't even get to the fourth boss since i don't get armor 😭

dreamy phoenix
#

wish I could do this more consistently

dusk shuttle
shut tapir
#

What

shut tapir
dusk shuttle
# shut tapir What

when progressing, you can use the farmer rank and use the pitchfork to beat the sword bosses

shut tapir
#

Ohh i just use the big candle stick

#

Since it blocks swords pretty good

dusk shuttle
#

that one works too

shut tapir
#

Alr but everytime i get soooo close to beating third boss he just cuts off my arms since i have no armor what do i do about that?

dusk shuttle
#

pitchfork

#

more reach

grand rain
#

yall need to add a mode where its like japanese and you got katanas and shit and robe/samurai armor physics n shit

dreamy phoenix
#

yeah just try and get a lucky strike and keep your distance

languid pine
#

I ran into fatal error like 400 times today </3 i cant do this no more

dreamy phoenix
#

pitchfork works wonders, I also defeated this fucker with a sword a couple of times

tender quest
rich bridge
#

My biggest issue right now is using polearms still, the whole problem I have is its so difficult to keep distance

#

The AI just push me, I can’t keep em at the end of my stick

#

Sometimes I do, but then my swings either miss or they get too close in my swing

can I get some photography feedback? still learning, captured this tipper kill

timid mural
#

Should make it a bit more blurry

dusk shuttle
#

or you could zoom out a little bit

hearty stone
#

yeah I'm totally new to messing with focus

#

and keeping camera position, field of view, focus and sensor width straight is hard

timid mural
#

I do 2.8 for the middle thingy

hearty stone
#

I understand putting the camera further out and then trucking in field of view

unborn turret
vernal oyster
#

kick is most important part, if you rush an AI notice how they deal with being smothered

#

they always kick to create distance

I have a problem which I cannot fix using common methods (reinstall, restart, checking files through steam). Every time I achieve a better class (better than beggar), I just can't use it. I see my loadout in main menu but I spawn without anything else than beggar's stuff. Worse things happen when I try to play free mode - I can't choose any class and I spawn absolutely naked. Also all of my settings reset everytime I start the game (resolution, quality etc.). Has anyone experienced that kind of bug(?) or am I doing something wrong

Gore Selection BUG

Delete all files relating to Half Sword existing in your local files. Be sure to back up your screenshots folder if you took any!

Uninstall the Half Sword demo via Steam
Right click on Half Sword Demo in you steam library Manage>Uninstall

IMPORTANT

Press WIN+R then type %localappdata% hit Enter
Now Navigate to and Delete the HalfswordUE5 folder.

Finally, reinstall Half Sword Demo.

Please note Appdata is a hidden folder by default and you need to enable show hidden items in the file explorer.

rich bridge
#

oh hey it was my footwork

#

My swings are fine but my footwork sucked

vernal oyster
rich bridge
vernal oyster
#

so that's sprint, your character is getting ready to move basically

#

people have different schools of thought on sprint, but I personally believe that you should almost always be holding shift unless you are kiting multiple enemies, and even then it should be used a ton

low relic

It’s a hidden file by default

the dodge mechanic is really poorly explained

soft osprey

#

I don't think half sword is in app data ?

#

seems to be in steamapps

low relic
vernal oyster
#

that guide is probably old, it seems like all half sword files are in steamapps common or binaries

#

see

#

oh i cant post screenshots

#

but what file are y'all looking for? just all half sword installation files?

soft osprey
#

There’s a fix for that

vernal oyster
#

oh i see it now

soft osprey
#

This issue occurs when users do not install or run the .exe as admin, this does not give the program the right permissions it needs to populate Appdata.

Issue: HalfSwordUE5 folder is not found in Appdata folder.

Fix: Run as Admin. Right click on Half Sword Demo from your steam library from the popup navigate to Manage>Browse local files. In the folder that pops up find HalfSwordUE5.exe the file extension .exe may not be visible with your folder view settings the file type will be Application.

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5

#

he might not be in "local"

soft osprey
#

The guide brings you to local with %localappdata%

#

It’s just another different bug

low relic
#

Okay so I started the game as admin, and now I am stuck on "choose level of displayed violence" 😭

This one

Now the app data folder should be populated

Since you ran it in admin

low relic
#

Okay, I've deleted folder in appdata and reinstalled the game through steam. Am I supposed to run the game as admin for "the first time"? (I don't see the folder in appdata)

soft osprey

You made sure to delete the halfsword steam folders too, before the reinstall right?

i think im getting it now, my biggest problem was stamina management

#

whole time

vernal oyster
#

sorry arch almost forgot to show u what i meant

#

but have u seen the dodge mechanic?

rich bridge
#

like my swings get slow bc i gotta give myself a small breather between like 2 or so swings

rich bridge
vernal oyster
#

let me show u on my playthrough with the fast dodge perk since its super noticeable

#

(i accidnetally just quit the game)

#

i also keep forgetting i have my half sword mouse profile to where left and right click are reversed

low relic
true zealot
molten galleon
vernal oyster
#

so this is an example of using dodge to close distance instead of creating it

#

you can do it while locked on, but it is much less pronounced, I use this same motion to kinda dodge backwards while holding sprint and delivering an overhead, so you can make space while moving your feet back to add power to the downward swing, if you mix that with kicking shield rushers they crumble

#

to dodge you sprint, strafe, and look the opposite direction

#

and it does this movement boost thing

vernal oyster
#

at lot of times as I get better I've gotten the discipline to just tap or hold shift only when I'm doing strikes or making a particularly fast movement for the sake of stamina but it seems like you can sprint around a few steps either direction and recover the stam fast enough for it to not really be an issue unless you're just running

Ever since this patch, any time I grab someone with q or e my willie immediately lets go of them within a couple seconds. For some reason, if I grab with the left hand it will stay for much longer, but even then it is flimsy

The one exception is if something in spoilerage is knocked out of the ring and an npc was going after it they just kill the selves by running into the edge

is it crashing all the time or just in the ultimate challenge?

thats annoying

vernal oyster
# odd kiln with any class?

I am in ultimate challenge, does my willie have less grip during this? But yeah any tier of class I grab I just let go of them

here let me get a clip for you bro because this is so frustrating, I'm a pretty decent player, it just seems like my guy is letting go no matter what

success in the ultimate challenge is down to chance

1 hit and you're dead

river steppe
#

random weapons SUCKS

zealous cape
#

if that first guy has any sort of decent weapon you're finished

river steppe
#

also picking up weapons is janky

#

the first guy having a shit weapon is even worse

zealous cape
#

pretty much any enemy getting something good means you're dead

zealous cape
#

its that second guy thats the worst man

tepid slate
#

Unironically, you guys just need to get better at the game. Not even trolling. Practice grappling and using the kicks.

zealous cape
#

grappling doesnt work properly anymore, you just tend to let go for no reason

river steppe
#

first guy has a tiny sickle next guy has a giant sword

zealous cape
#

im better off using no weapons than the shitty random dropped stuff

tepid slate
#

I do agree that grappling feels broken since the playtest dropped

zealous cape
#

best weapon you could ever ask for is something long like spear. pitchfork, hoe etc

river steppe
#

like if the enemy weapon spawns werent random it'd be ok

zealous cape
#

only weapon thats good enough for ultimate challenge

river steppe
#

first guy guaranteed to have an axe, second guy guaranteed to have a sword, third guy has a spear, like that

zealous cape
#

doesnt help when theres 3 enemies charging at me with spiky spear bat things and i have the average butter knife

#

its only hard for the sake of being hard

#

which just ruins how the game feels

river steppe
#

i think a challenge is ok but this is just completely unintuitive since if first guy has a bad weapon you just have to give up go back to menu then retry

zealous cape
#

it goes from a wacky physics based combat game to a roguelike with all the odds against you

randomize gear except instead of pressing a button you have to start the challenge then go back to main menu then go back to challenge again and again until you get the weapon you want

#

get past 1 and 2 easy and then die to goedendag

theyve nerfed jabbing into the ground or something

you gotta aim to bonk them till they go asleep

#

not stab them

abstract cairn
#

i know

#

i'm talking about the start

#

tier 1-2 weapons

next swallow
soft kelp
next swallow
#

its still not amazing but like, you get some good kills consistently with it

soft kelp
#

maybe try disabling gore after going to the higher tiers

#

if you want to mutilate people that much

fathom hollow
#

willie when he gets stabbed in the head but it only hits his brain

rich bridge
#

how does one aim overhead better as well? i am struggling with that the most

velvet moss
#

lower sens

#

practice

soft kelp
velvet moss
#

also practice

soft kelp
#

fr tho thx for the advice

abstract cairn
soft kelp
#

if they drop their weapons its gg

#

or if they go limp

#

or if theyre half limp theyre damaged

next swallow
#

in my experience you also get a bit more speed as well

soft kelp
#

btw heres something fun you can do if you're in brave stand with a great sword

#

just spin attack at them till theyre in pieces

slow jolt
rich bridge
soft kelp
rich bridge
#

Even then it gotta still be more to the side

rich bridge
#

why dont gifs work

velvet moss
#

you need a level

rich bridge
#

oh

#

makin me look a fool

rich bridge
#

this will sound silly but i need to think of this shit like the kcd2 combat wheel 😭

#

all overheads go straight down

#

left and right yk goes left and right

#

stab

#

the directions i gotta swing are more general than i thought its just where im preparing the weapon

slow jolt
#

i find weapon placement is really important

rich bridge
#

If I’m doing like a swing from the bottom to the top, does it work to also just go more up

#

It’s kinda like swinging has an air resistance to the path im choosing if ykwim

slow jolt
#

yeah

rich bridge
#

yoo tysm

hey guys i feel the game has pretty bad optimization i often crash, is there any way to fix this

turn off blood is what i see often

Hey guys i'm just wondering if the latest release on steam (demo) can be modded? Like I've noticed that the video above has a guy with clothes on a fist fight... is there any way to do this?

mental kelp
#

with ovrdth's loadout selector you can pick your own loadout before going into a match

torpid tendon
#

Thanks bro, ill have a look into that. Does it apply for the latest release?

mental kelp
#

so like to get what I got in that clip I click the beggar tier, then click the loadout I want on ovrdth's and it will send me with that

#

yea

slow jolt
#

what if ultimate willie ai is all the movements of all the halfsword players averaged together

mental kelp
velvet moss
#

wtf is that name

torpid tendon
#

Just wondering if theres a specifc place to get the loadout selector, or if nexus mods is fine

sour pilot
#

or loadouts

torpid tendon
#

Thank u 🙂

thin dust
#

the mods are so peak

faint storm
#

And it ends up dying to John Pitchfork because the AI was never trained against a peasant

mental kelp
#

yea they should get the best playr of each tier and make them the ai basically

#

or at least the boss ai

velvet moss
#

oh god

mental kelp
#

maybe a slightly good player but not quite best for normal ai

velvet moss
#

no that would be impossible

faint storm
#

Impossible but funny

velvet moss

mental kelp

yea impossible in practice but its just metaphorical for the skill gap

I got the mod working, thanks for the help guys

hearty stone

true

#

is anyone else getting this glitch with like invisible collision in the arena

torpid tendon
hearty stone
#

like something in the center you trip over or step up onto

mental kelp
#

yea its pretty annoying and it shows up seemingly randomly

#

seems to be related to the rock patches but not 100% sure, so it usually shows up in any one of those patches and doesn't go away unless game restart

hearty stone
#

could it be dead body collision respawning?

#

er not despawning

did the guilds use to require acceptance? I was going back in the chats and I saw a lot of mentioning of "joining" the guilds, of people asking if they could send clips to be worthy of the guilds, and in general a lot more guild-related, community-oriented speaking, instead of what it is now where they send clips without abandon.

we need to reallocate the guilds and get them back this way. have the respective masters of each guild judge people's clips and then allow/disallow them into the guild, where they can, if accepted, present their clips and their ideas on how to further the respective gameplay of that guild. too much is it now, "here's my gameplay" rather than "here's an interesting move you can do, and here is how it is applied". all in all it seems they've lost all structure which I never knew, but looking back seemed so much better an alternative. people discovering new ways to play the game, new mechanics, new behaviors.
of course, everyone would still be able to view the guilds, but as mentioned, be restricted from making an entry, because again, they should be new and valuable insights into the game by someone of proven experience rather than pure gameplay itself or uninformed opinions, both of which do little for fostering a community.

looking in the pins of the guilds, you can see plenty of this former community, where they pioneered, and were then able to share with everyone else. when was the last time something was pinned as useful? months ago, by all accounts, way before even the newest big update. most discussion that has happened since I joined has been in passing on how to play the game from its basics, and as of yet, other than entries I have proposed, I haven't seen much in the way of innovation in the guild I frequent. even by clips, a guild post is made once in a blue moon, and outside of the small rudimentary discussion, nobody talks. it is so stale now, even though there is so much work to be done, and so many people to teach.

bring back guild cohesion... thanks for listening to my ted talk.

slow jolt

is it more merciful to stab willie or to hit him in the head with blunt weapon

vestal flare

stab prob

slow jolt

but wouldnt he bleed out and die or get an infection

#

given that it is 15th century

vestal flare

I mean, whos to say he would live from a head injury lol

#

if not have severe mental damage depending on how bad you got em

slow jolt
#

good point

#

but like assuming he lives to see after the battle

#

would it be more merciful to give willie brain damage or to let him die of an infection

Half sword abyss challenge: No matter what, when you stumble upon any armor or weapon that wasn't dropped by yourself you must pick it up and drop your own weapon. Yes, this means you must sacrifice your axe for a knife if you find one, and you cannot pick up the items you dropped yourself. You can pick up dropped items from OPP willies

Unless you’re fighting multiple opponents then it depends I guess

i played a lot of for honor so the lock on system in this game works pretty much the same as that

let go of m1 or "the lock on" and press again to re-lock to a different target etc
