[solemn holly]

not really, surving long enough to get to him is the difficult part

[rich owl]

im gonna turn my damage up

idc

[solemn holly]

you start with no gear but can take the weapons and armored of the people you kill

[rich owl]

ok

[solemn holly]

however in the last 1v4, all the enemies are knights

[scenic isle]

fun fact, willie has a tan line

[solemn holly]

so yeah turn up damage against enemies

[balmy sand]

that's where his skin suit is

just kidding

they actually designjed willies to have those

so you can peel them easily

[young river]

do you heal in the ultimate challange?

[balmy sand]

no

[solemn holly]

there is passive limb-based healing, but it's very slow

[young river]

ok

[solemn holly]

the limb won't heal if it's broken, cut off, or otherwise disabled

[sweet wave]

so true

[abstract dagger]

Holy shit I finally managed to progress above veteran

😭😭😭

It took an embarrassingly long time lowkey

[still pawn]

The playtest's combat felt better, and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't

[warped apex]

it feels like the playtest to me again lol

[analog cosmos]

I never scaled up my player this is fun

[warped apex]

I just wish they didn't remove the easy push over or falldown

[tough yew]

what part of it feels better

[burnt smelt]

Please god just give the commoner boss a different weapon

[formal chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/kiss-love-baki-jack-hanma-pickle-gif-14171720399708212135

[still pawn]

Polearms feel awkward, axes are underwhelming, and I'm tired of Willy forgetting where his left hand is when I try to halfsword

[warped apex]

Weapons feel fluid and controllable again @tough yew

I'm finally able to control my pommel stikes now

[tough yew]

I think the opposite of this but idk

[warped apex]

axes and long weapons feel greatg right now?

every weapon feels great

[sweet wave]

I just swing around and win fr

[mental kelp]

I liked the wide stance and footwork of the playtest, swings were less floppy but more robotic in movement. Swings in general better since April fools

[sweet wave]

much better strategy

[warped apex]

I wish we could fall over easily still

You've have the balance of a god now

You've the*

[tough yew]

just so you know the game's combat is still wildly being changed and will be vastly improved for the early access version

[warped apex]

Maybe one day we'll be able to push down people again lol

[tough yew]

if you have any complaints list them on #1047240101152960525

[warped apex]

I love pushing those down in heavier tiers

[late phoenix]

BRO WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS ANIME

[warped apex]

Halfsword will continue to be my favourite game

[sweet wave]

Baki

it’s obviously about fighting

[late phoenix]

Extremely fun game although I wouldn't say it's my favourite game might change when it's fully released

[late phoenix]

I know what baki is and what it's about

[formal chasm]

Manly jaw contest

[late phoenix]

I know it's about fighting but the way they are fighting is weird 💔

Plot is aswell

[warped apex]

head butting is fun

[still pawn]

Yeah, I know that much. Don't get me wrong, the updates did a lot of things right. Blunt weapons are finally fun, and swords feel fantastic. I'm just tired of every 2-handed weapon feeling like there's a bowling ball on the end of them

[sweet wave]

looks normal to me

[formal chasm]

jack hanma's surgically enhanced jaw with titanium teeth vs the legendary pickle man's prehistoric jaw. who wins?
and then the camera pans over to a flashback in the mongolian mountains 2 thousand years ago

[late phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/kiss-love-baki-jack-hanma-pickle-gif-14171720399708212135

Is this normal

💔💔

[sweet wave]

yeah

[late phoenix]

this can not be normal

[sweet wave]

both of them are like super strong

[formal chasm]

thats the beauty my friend, baki's long monologues slowly gaslight you into accepting it as normal

[sweet wave]

in fact I’ve seen this happen irl

[late phoenix]

Really that's amazing

https://tenor.com/view/kitten-small-swimming-floor-crawl-gif-4536438629386526549

[sweet wave]

ik ik

[formal chasm]

they'll go on about the difficulties of jaw training, all the hardship, all the ancient lore behind it

[late phoenix]

I already know that is one of the more tame ones

[formal chasm]

then they'll show the character lifting a truck with his jaw or some shit

[late phoenix]

😭😭

[late phoenix]

Did the creator get high on 50 drugs and decide to make a anime

[warped apex]

Willy Copter Willy Copter

[formal chasm]

no he's just japanese

[late phoenix]

fair enough

[summer yacht]

Did anyone know, do the developers want to add multiplayer in Half Sword?

[boreal path]

#faq

[summer yacht]

Thanks

[distant chasm]

Are they ever gonna make it so you can find bevors in abyss?

[latent moon]

Whats a bevor?

[boreal path]

pretty sure you can

just bad rng

[boreal path]

jaw protector

[distant chasm]

Metal jaw and neck protector

[latent moon]

Oh ok

[distant chasm]

YOu sure?

I have literally over 30 hours in abyss

Havent seen one

[analog cosmos]

look what i found

looks like window frames

[proven verge]

it says DEAD

[humble bloom]

armor is generally really rare in the abyss.
certain armor is rarer than others.
ive found countless kettle hats, but rarely do I find the arm chains or chainmail for my neck

[analog cosmos]

I always find chainmail for the neck

and arm chains

[distant chasm]

I always fine coifs / mail for necks

Some runs I get everything besides shirt or pants

But never once have I seen a bevor

[analog cosmos]

whats the bevor again

Oh I've found one

[boreal path]

not coifs

standards

[distant chasm]

Still waiting for the day we get padded caps and gambesons in abyss

Also maybe a fix to gore?

I had gore on medium and got lightly tapped by the scythe

and it split me in half

And the little baby knives split someone in half on medium gore too

[proven verge]

willie went OH SHIT at the end

[glossy raptor]

@idle crane no balls

[distant chasm]

I still wish there was a way to remove helmets

[boreal path]

i dont think that arming caps are all that common at this point in time

[distant chasm]

The amount of times I wanted to take someoens helmet off to kill them easily is immense

[glossy raptor]

https://tenor.com/view/wololo-anvil-anvil-empires-empires-siege-camp-gif-7828833661447271962

Fuck

[proven verge]

i compromise for now

[idle crane]

youll get perms one day bud

[boreal path]

really nice

[glossy raptor]

Getting bullied by a mod

[idle crane]

https://tenor.com/view/keep-it-up-kamala-harris-maya-rudolph-saturday-night-live-good-job-gif-18837277

[distant chasm]

I think armor is very wonky

I had plate armor on the front of my body

not my back

But when I get hit in the back by something sharp, it makes a clank sound

[boreal path]

bro's gonna grab his chinstrap and painstakingly unbuckle it

[distant chasm]

Yea

[boreal path]

would be a lot more realistic to just be able to lift their visor

[distant chasm]

That too

[distant chasm]

cant wait for when this game drops and modding becomes bigger

gotta get skulls for the skull throne

[boreal path]

taking off somebody's helmet in combat would be like undoing somebody's watch

[glossy raptor]

Do not use my own artwork against me, mod

[distant chasm]

i still find it incredibly funny

how you can just walk into weapons

Walked into a pitchfork on accident that was laying on the floor in abyss

instantly nearly killed me

[boreal path]

i love grabbing them by their feet and swinging them around to slam their back into one of the poles

[distant chasm]

walked over a sword in abyss with full armor

chopped my leg off

[long jungle]

@idle crane hi nerd

@idle crane bye nerd

[proven verge]

the abyss is very intimidating physics wise

[distant chasm]

I still wonder what happened to entrails

In the demo there used to be entrails

Now theres none

[distant chasm]

I stabbed this guy with that one pickaxe thing

that has a curved end

And it kept the skeleton from going down

until it flew off

[idle crane]

nice

[idle crane]

They are being reworked

[boreal path]

early access is going to be the cause of my death

[distant chasm]

Cool

[distant chasm]

atlesat itll have dlss

So I wont lose a ton of frames the second theres more than 2 people on the screen

[proven verge]

I hope the physics stay the same in some weird stockholm syndrome induced way

[idle crane]

Oh god im scared of early access release

[distant chasm]

why

[distant chasm]

I started flying because I grabbed some guys weapon while stepping on it

It was in abyss too

So I hit the floor and instantly died

[proven verge]

like this haha

[boreal path]

RELEAAAAAAAAAAASE ME

[distant chasm]

that except about twice as high

if not 3x more

it was enough to instantly kill willy

[idle crane]

I have trauma from the blood release and early access is probably gonna be even more chaotic Anyway if anyone is over 18 and they dont want the server to fall to chaos check out the mod application at the bottom of https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1272470349245579396

[rustic steppe]

can we rebind stuff yet??

[distant chasm]

I just hope EA release is alot more optimized

[boreal path]

we need reinforcements ...

[distant chasm]

it isnt very smart to be having each blood droplet individually be rendered in hd

Its gotten to a point where if I want to do final challenge or beat abyss

I have to turn off blood

[idle crane]

https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1043856016955154452 the newest post in here covers that issue

[distant chasm]

Yea thats why I said I hope ea is more optimized

[boreal path]

obvi

[distant chasm]

Atleast itll have dlss included

This game is basically impossible to run at 60fps in all scenarios

[idle crane]

Nah i run it at 60fps just fine

[distant chasm]

Even in small buhurt?

Abyss with getting jumped by 6 people?

[idle crane]

buhurt yes abyss idk

[distant chasm]

what settings?

medium?

i also noticed that youre far more prone to fatal errors if your gpu has less than 8gb of vram

[idle crane]

epic

[livid raptor]

please give me tips on beating tier 3 boss

[livid raptor]

ive been stuck on him for every playthrough

[boreal path]

dont focus on attacking or defending first, focus on avoiding him

[distant chasm]

Personally, I think no more than 3 ai should eb spawned in abyss at once

[distant chasm]

sometimes it spawns up to 5 and absolutely tanks my performance

[boreal path]

after 2 or 3 successful dodges of his sword he should quit for a moment, in which you can either try to stab him in the thigh or abdomen or make an overhead to his crown

[livid raptor]

thank you, i didnt know bosses did that

[boreal path]

i make overheads with the ALT key to help stabilize the swing arc

Covered in my Half Sword fencing book.... if you're ...... inclined.

thank you fine sir

[warm void]

eh

[umbral nimbus]

does anybody else get a crazy amount of lag in buhurts?

[proven verge]

unfortunate series of events

[halcyon lintel]

Ngl the way that you can't use your free hand if you get one hand cut off is very annoying

Whats the point in having my character live at that point

[quasi nimbus]

Not yet, or in any multiple combatant scenario for that matter.

[umbral nimbus]

I didn't used to get it but I don't know why it's happening now

[quasi nimbus]

Only new issue I've been having as of the last week or so is UE5 crashing on longer encounters, seems to be tied to instances of damage.

[warm void]

I call it adapting, rhymes with grug.

[quasi nimbus]

I never had a single crash on the lead up to unlocking Ultimate Challenge at the end of Gauntlet Mode and now I consistently crash in Ultimate Challenge. Not sure if it's a known issue or not.

(I also wish I could restart Gauntlet Mode. I loved the challenge.)

[warm void]

turn down blood bro.

[quasi nimbus]

That's the culprit?

[warm void]

im not sure whats wrong with the ultimate challenges blood, but it seems to make everyone's PC crash

low or high spec pc

[quasi nimbus]

heard, I'll try that then. Thank you for the tip.

[boreal path]

because there's a lot of it being rendered

[warm void]

wouldn't the abyss be the same then?

i guess abyss deletes it's tiles

eh

whatever

they better fix it though.

[boreal path]

dawg

they're tryin

[mint wadi]

He thought that he could simply disable my hand, and I would be done.
But he cannot disable THESE HANDS

[warm void]

I'm also learning gamedev, I officially say that I don't know what im doing.

whys your halfsword lookin like that?

[mint wadi]

I am on DX12 using medium settings.

[boreal path]

just had a nice fulfilling breakfast at 4:58 PM

[warm void]

Damn

🥀

[cyan siren]

something is so broken. this game keeps crashing 😭

[warm void]

I thought you were using a mod

[warm void]

turn down blood.

spawns too much vampires in the game.

[mint wadi]

I mean that slow motion I used is a mod that lets me use it without stamina drain.

[warm void]

makes your game crash.

[warm void]

5 PM????

dawg what

I eat at 5 AM

[boreal path]

very interesting song choice

i usually dont eat breakfast

when i do it's for lunch

[mint wadi]

It was on my spotify okay

[warm void]

I listen to persona when playing halfsword.

I just like persona music.

https://tenor.com/view/makoto-yuki-persona3-persona-gif-11040887881072923054

[boreal path]

i listen to death, grindcore, mincecore, and doom metal

[warm void]

damn, sick.

what medieval games do yall reccomend?

I mean, I've completed most of souls games

idrk what medieval games i should play.

[proven verge]

Kingdome come series, medieval 2 total war if youre into strategy, manor lords

[boreal path]

crusader kings 3

manor lords

[warm void]

I think I've tried that game before.

like a long time ago.

[boreal path]

griefhelm

[edgy jacinth]

[mint wadi]

what the fuck is mincecore

[warm void]

[mint wadi]

I know all the other ones.

griefhelm is underrated peak

[boreal path]

https://open.spotify.com/track/3CmZuIfv9hg25bkLJP8dO4?si=3d92da2e724c4f73

like a death + noise + grind fusion

[mint wadi]

Oh.

[warm void]

look sick, whats the combat based off?

[boreal path]

directional

[warm void]

ooh

[boreal path]

it's like that one samurai game if you've ever played it

the 2d pixelated one

[formal chasm]

the one where you die in 1 hit

?

first cut samurai duel i believe

[slate brook]

i love blunt weapons

[warm void]

Oh, is it where you gotta play safe and wait for that one moment to strike?

[boreal path]

yeah

[mint wadi]

I failed and then used my extra couple seconds before my inevitable death to WIN

[warm void]

first cut,

[boreal path]

griefhelm is like it but a little more in depth

[warm void]

yeah that

thats fun.

[boreal path]

and more customization

the "story" / campaign element is also really fun

[slate brook]

holy shit you got moves lol

[boreal path]

definitely the type of game you just fire up when you have like an hour to wait for something

[mint wadi]

Thanks lol, it really was a cinematic kick.

[boreal path]

the customization is really neat actually

[mint wadi]

Perfect foot to chin contact.

[warm void]

the music here fits wit the slow mo.

[lavish sapphire]

u gotta improve them spin kicks

way too slow and bad timing

[warm void]

UltraKill is so fun ngl

[boreal path]

show us YOUR spinkicks then

[warm void]

man, let him have his own fun

[mint wadi]

I'm going to wait until you upload something and then give you harsh unwarranted advice on how to get better.

[lavish sapphire]

i hit a sick spin kick lemme get the clip

[warm void]

stop criticising other peoples play style ;-;

m00haha?

you snapped yo neck in the menu

why is snapping necks so hard

[boreal path]

[mint wadi]

lol

[distant chasm]

I didnt

I just clicked abyss

Its going on forever

[boreal path]

i love that emoji

[distant chasm]

my willy is on the verge of death

[warm void]

thats what i meant by snapping your neck/.

[boreal path]

replace all emojis with the blue emojis puhLEASE

[warm void]

why are blue emojis so superior to yellow emojis

[distant chasm]

The only reason my willy is alive

is because you get quite a substatantial heal

each time you kill someone

My hand is literally all bone

[boreal path]

look

[warm void]

does WIlly have a willy tho?

[distant chasm]

Im missing like, a third of my chest

[distant chasm]

That got cut off by the commoner boss

[mint wadi]

Blue emojis are so cursed

im blue dabadeedabadie

[boreal path]

NO THEY ARE NOT

[warm void]

commoner boss is so OP for no reason.

[distant chasm]

Its cause he has a gambeson

And most of your weapons are slashing and stabbing

as well as the fact that he has a sword thats as long as a pitchfork

[boreal path]

i love fighting him

[warm void]

biggest weapon hitbox + hardest to get close + 2nd sharpest weapon + hard to fight back after getting grounded.

[distant chasm]

Use a hammer? he swings once and kills you

use a pitchfork? cant go through

use a falchion? swings once and kills you

[warm void]

you dont get armor, thats the hard part.

[craggy solstice]

Wait guys im new to the game and the discord, how to i beat the peasant grete champion

[distant chasm]

The hard part is he has a gambeson

[mint wadi]

f a t a l i t y

[distant chasm]

He has armor

you dont

[warm void]

'PUNCH HIM TILL HE SUBMITS.

[boreal path]

grab knife or candlestick or paddle

[craggy solstice]

there are knifes

[distant chasm]

I literally just ran into him

[warm void]

true.

[distant chasm]

until he fell over

[warm void]

Knives are so ass

[craggy solstice]

thats it>

[mint wadi]

I told him "here hold this real quick"

[distant chasm]

They arent

lol

[craggy solstice]

every time i try that i get chopped in half

[distant chasm]

the big butcher knife cleaved him in half

with a slight swing

[distant chasm]

bait out his swing

[warm void]

this really depends on what knife you get tho

[distant chasm]

then attack

[distant chasm]

the average kitchen knife

that one sucks

cant stab cant slash

the butcher knife though

that ones great

the tiny little butter knife is alright for stabbing

[craggy solstice]

i look at the ground and i dont see any knifes

[warm void]

slashing doesnt do any dmg, stab is really NPC movement based.

[mint wadi]

Holy shit that kick made my axe go deeper and cut his hand off.

[distant chasm]

Its random each time

[distant chasm]

slashing does a ton for me

slash = they get scared and surrender

or bleed out

[warm void]

I meant aiming for the stab, sometimes its just inaccurate.

[mint wadi]

I slit his throat with the axe, then threw the axe into his wrist, then roundhouse kicked the axe deeper into his hand to cut it off.

[craggy solstice]

every time i tryt to stab it bounces off

[distant chasm]

Can they add an npc limit

to abyss

My game crashed after I killed the baron

cause 5 npcs rushed me

and caused a spark

[warm void]

Spear and knives deal the most stabbing dmg

[candid mesa]

does anyone know why my game keeps crashing like halway into ultimate challenge?

[boreal path]

there is a guaranteed knife in the middle of the map

[boreal path]

turn off blood

[distant chasm]

No wonder why I went through this guy 9 times with a sword

All the way through

[warm void]

turn down blood, too much vampires spawning making your games crash.

[distant chasm]

and he didnt die till after I went for the head

[craggy solstice]

next time i will try to look for that knife

[candid mesa]

how less blood?

[distant chasm]

settings

gore settings

blood

[candid mesa]

the blood is kinda the fun part

yes but how much

[distant chasm]

all the wayu

[warm void]

ALL THE WAY DOWN.

[distant chasm]

no blood at all

[candid mesa]

but gore can be ?

max

[distant chasm]

not max

[craggy solstice]

@candid mesa what pc specs do you have, you might want to upgrade

[warm void]

yes

[distant chasm]

No its for everyone

[candid mesa]

bro

where to show

[warm void]

gore doesnt do much.

[distant chasm]

My friend with a 4070 super and 7800x3d

crashes in ult challenge

[distant chasm]

yea but with it the slightest thing chops you in half

[candid mesa]

i got that

4070 ti super

[warm void]

only increases your chance of slicing your enemy into pieces though.

[warm void]

skill issue

[craggy solstice]

then how are you crashing with a 4070 ti super

[distant chasm]

the game isnt really optimized right now

[craggy solstice]

yeah

[distant chasm]

it will be in early access release

[distant chasm]

cause the games not optimized

I litearlly drop to 30 fps when more than 3 people are on the screen

[warm void]

I wouldnt even say its optimised, im still lagging on burhurt with medium graphics

[distant chasm]

Same

[craggy solstice]

i have a 5070 and 7800x3d and ive never crashed, but i also never beat peasant

[distant chasm]

I drop to 30 fps with 3 people

[candid mesa]

gore can be gruesome?

or gentle

[distant chasm]

thats cause youre only on peasant

when the armor gets added and you start fighting small buhurts

youll see the frame drops

and the worst part is, you cant even use frame gen or dlss

[craggy solstice]

whats a buhurt

[distant chasm]

until early access release

[distant chasm]

3v3

clad in armor

[honest thorn]

It fun

[craggy solstice]

you can do it in multyplayer or with npc

[distant chasm]

depends

[distant chasm]

theres no multiplayer

[craggy solstice]

o

[faint storm]

Frame gen in this game would drive you wild lol

[honest thorn]

The 5070 should handle it most of the time but yeah you'll see frame drops a bit

[distant chasm]

this type of game in multiplayer, where tons of physics are being processed

would be super laggy

[distant chasm]

would make me happy since i would be able to get 60 fps in all scenarios

[honest thorn]

I don't really dislike the mode cuz of the lag tbh

[faint storm]

Yeah but the input lag is terrible

[distant chasm]

Worth it

[honest thorn]

It's just the frames dropping

[distant chasm]

I barely had any input lag when I tested frame gen on a 5070 ti

[candid mesa]

anyway to play as a lower rank in higher ranks in free mode?

[craggy solstice]

when the actual half sword drops will we have to pay?

[distant chasm]

its more noticable on the 40 series

[distant chasm]

Of course

this is just a playtestt

[honest thorn]

I sure hope so

[craggy solstice]

o

[honest thorn]

They deserve the money

[craggy solstice]

kidna valid

[distant chasm]

You have a 5070, theres no way youre gonna be stingy with money

🥀

[honest thorn]

Better than it being free to pay adware

[craggy solstice]

after buying my pc im out of money

[mint wadi]

I don't think we know what the game will cost when early access releases later this year.

[boreal path]

"premium indie pricing"

[craggy solstice]

yeah

[mint wadi]

I would imagine in the realm of $20-$40

I would bet $30.

[craggy solstice]

they could charge like 70 bucks and i think a lot of people would still buy it

they will prob charge 35 tho

[honest thorn]

Long as I gets my money's worth I'm good

[mint wadi]

Not that I don't think the game is worth it, but I think it would probably be a $20 game if not for the sheer popularity explosion they've seen in the last year.

[boreal path]

considering i have gotten 800 hours out of half sword already i am willing to pay whatever it costs

[mint wadi]

Yeah same.

[honest thorn]

And tbh. Games already paid for itself with this demo alone

[craggy solstice]

i will pay whatever it cost unless its over 70 bucks

[craggy solstice]

daum son

[mint wadi]

I will not buy the game if it's $70.

In fact I won't buy the game if it's over $40 tbh

[craggy solstice]

i might if it has multyplayer

[mint wadi]

It won't.

[craggy solstice]

bru

[mint wadi]

That's a late development addition.

They've already said that.

It won't release into early access with multiplayer.

[craggy solstice]

what about when it fully releases

[mint wadi]

I believe they had some form of lan multiplayer at an event, but I haven't been able to find any footage of it.

Full release is many years away.

at least 2.

[craggy solstice]

what really

[prisma berry]

And it should maybe not go MP while all the 360 ballet roundhouse kicks work.

[vapid hull]

$89.99

[craggy solstice]

nah

thats to much

[mint wadi]

I will eat a shoe if it's above $40.

[boreal path]

if at all

[livid raptor]

i wouldnt be mad if that was performed on me

[mint wadi]

I would bet they'll add it, even if it's a little buggy. Call it an experimental feature.

Too many people wanting it.

[vapid hull]

That’s the price </3

[opaque creek]

People only land kicks welll because slow motion

[prisma berry]

I quit chivalry because of similar awkward pvp mechanic glitch dance pirouette stuff.

[opaque creek]

For the most part

[terse widget]

How do I dodge in game?

[craggy solstice]

i think they would be able to charge more if it had more content on youtube titok and insta

thats just me tho

[boreal path]

non

[mint wadi]

The fact of the matter is that over 50% of their player base doesn't really care about historically accurate content within the game.

[boreal path]

shift and moving

[mint wadi]

That's part of the sacrifice when you are developing a very popular game.

The vision of the game somewhat has to change to meet the demand of the public, it would make no sense to NOT at least try to appeal to what everyone wants.

[lavish sapphire]

mb for taking long @mint wadi @boreal path steam clips quality sucks

[craggy solstice]

@vapid hull do you know when its releasing

[honest thorn]

Why would they, they just wanna murder people (in game) and then do things to the body instead of get good at this interesting system

[mint wadi]

What the fuck is wrong with your steam clips

[vapid hull]

June 3st, 2027

[craggy solstice]

daum

[boreal path]

QUITTT

[boreal path]

rali is no sort of insider

nobody here is

nobody knows when it is releasing or how much it will cost or when / if multiplayer will be

[mint wadi]

Oh you were low stamina.

[honest thorn]

Rali is basically the cat knocking over beverages at a party

[boreal path]

#faq answers everything to the highest degree anyone knows

[lavish sapphire]

i have the quality set to low cus i have it constantly clipping and i dont want it taking up all my storage and when i send it to my phone it screws up the quality even more

[mint wadi]

I mean....some of the devs are here. lurking.

[honest thorn]

Sam keeps telling em to get down from the table

[humble bloom]

I am, I know, I signed an nda.
its releasing in exactly 15 minutes.
I am no longer an insider I just got fired
goodbye guys

[mint wadi]

hah

[craggy solstice]

whats nda

[vapid hull]

I’m so insider !!! I’m a truther

[boreal path]

non disclosure agreement

[mint wadi]

non dick agreement

[vapid hull]

No :(

[craggy solstice]

@vapid hull that sounds cap

[mint wadi]

Basically you agree to become a castrato if you leak the information.

[lavish sapphire]

the trick to hitting good spin kicks is to move ur camera at like a 25 degree angle diagonally rather than straight up then right/left

[honest thorn]

You sign em if people are touching things nobody wants made public yet

In time you'll probably sign them

[craggy solstice]

wait i dont understand whats a nda and a castro

[mint wadi]

haha

[vapid hull]

It’s the tuth ….

[honest thorn]

Corpos love their ndas

[craggy solstice]

what is that

[mint wadi]

Okay uh now I'm done.

[boreal path]

where do you think the word "testify" came from in a court setting

[honest thorn]

Rali: "bweh :)"

[boreal path]

non disclosure agreement - contract that says you cant talk about the things you're working on
castro - eunuch

[craggy solstice]

and he did

[boreal path]

he was joking

[mint wadi]

this absolutely sounds like a historically accurate punishment for lying in court in 1502

[craggy solstice]

o

[boreal path]

nobody here is being serious about anything

[vapid hull]

Me at the truth saying awards

[craggy solstice]

get out

[honest thorn]

This is probably true

[mint wadi]

Anyways yall it releases right after gta 6

Like directly after.

[honest thorn]

God tf was my dream about

[mint wadi]

The second after.

[honest thorn]

Terrible dream.

[mint wadi]

Half Sword is actually an open world medieval RPG.

[craggy solstice]

@mint wadi if it releases after gta 6 NOBODY will buy it

everybody will be playing gta

[mint wadi]

I would bet that most people interested in Half Sword would buy it over GTA 6

[honest thorn]

I probably will not buy gta6

Not for a long time

[craggy solstice]

im going to get it if it comes to pc

[mint wadi]

Same

[honest thorn]

Rockstar don't know how to make games work right

[mint wadi]

It will come to pc after 2-3 years.

[craggy solstice]

BROOOO

nah

[mint wadi]

Which is why I won't be getting it.

[craggy solstice]

it cant be

[vapid hull]

It’s true :)

[craggy solstice]

i have a ps5 but im not trying to be 30fps locked

[honest thorn]

They have an account bug that's persisted literally the entire time GTA 5's been out for me xd

[vapid hull]

Half Sword EA does dropp 🔜

[honest thorn]

I am locked out of my own account cuz if I use it then the game will not finish downloading

[mint wadi]

Honestly I would do a lot of things for early access halfsword.

Many, many things.

Unspeakable things.

Shameful things.

[craggy solstice]

thats kinda ayo

[honest thorn]

Rockstar said it's a steam problem
Steam says it's absolutely a rockstar problem

I give up and play better games from better studios

[mint wadi]

pls you're getting too close to gen z slang.

[craggy solstice]

@honest thorn why dont they just drop on epic games

[honest thorn]

John. How old are you lol

[craggy solstice]

yeah fr

[mint wadi]

How old do you think I am.

[honest thorn]

My age I imagine

[craggy solstice]

how old isthat

[honest thorn]

Which is not that far off from being gen z

[shut pagoda]

any tips for a beginner? i've kind of got some of the basics down with stabbing and stuff i just cant seem to get past the third spot

[boreal path]

[mint wadi]

Right.

[craggy solstice]

bru

[opaque creek]

Use pitchfork until the bosses start having leg armor

[mint wadi]

All I'm saying is that I'd do like anything to get halfsword early access.

[craggy solstice]

is the pitchfork the candle holder thing

[solemn holly]

would you paypal me $5000

[boreal path]

wait for him to attack two or three times, avoid it, and then stab him in the abdomen or strike at his head and then immediately retreat and repeat

[boreal path]

no

[honest thorn]

Have you messed with sensitivity in driving that down so you can practice using stances in the game?

[boreal path]

the pitchfork is the pitchfork

[honest thorn]

Only if you gave me $10000 first

I am good invest plant

[opaque creek]

They nerfed plancon but not candlestick

[shut pagoda]

what do you mean by stances? like high guard and low guard and stuff?

[mint wadi]

Fisch how old are you

[honest thorn]

Yeh

[craggy solstice]

oldest of gen alpha

[boreal path]

the candlestick is a lot more unwieldy, it's just the AI doesnt really know how to deal with it

[inland needle]

they nerfed war staff 😢

[shut pagoda]

a little. how far do you lower ur sensitivity?

[honest thorn]

For me I dropped it down to 30% to learn

[little verge]

https://tenor.com/view/this-needed-to-happen-arun-maini-mrwhosetheboss-this-had-to-happen-it-was-crucial-gif-25480860

[opaque creek]

Max sensitivity superiority

[shut pagoda]

ok sounds good

[honest thorn]

I'm gonna crank it up now cuz m00 demonstrates you can still be an insane crackhead at the game with high sens

[mint wadi]

mcwonderbeast spotted

Is it time for your shift

[honest thorn]

In fact, he's better for it

[boreal path]

ADDITIONALLY.... I HEARD SOMEBODY MADE A HALF SWORD FENCING BOOK IF YOU'D BE INTERESTED IN CHECKING OUT THOSE TECHNIQUES.

[honest thorn]

Yeaaaa ^

[inland needle]

still sad

[opaque creek]

Wat a nerd

[honest thorn]

and VIDEOS

[mint wadi]

I can't believe you get paid to interact with us freaks.

[craggy solstice]

yeah

[honest thorn]

I wanna get paid 😦

[craggy solstice]

like getting paid for that is kinda wild

[honest thorn]

Being broke not fun

[little verge]

It is still a very useful weapon up until full plate.

[opaque creek]

I didn’t buy half sword for you moderators to be sitting around all day

[boreal path]

i cant wait for the AI to get better

[leaden moon]

Does anyone know where I put mods in the half sword files?

[mint wadi]

uhhh

[honest thorn]

Oddly true statement

[mint wadi]

you haven't bought half sword at all

So I guess that's true.

[boreal path]

lamao

[craggy solstice]

modding half sword is crazy stuff

base game is peak

[honest thorn]

Yeh

[leaden moon]

I've completed base game but just adding more stuff for fun

[opaque creek]

Flail mod

[shell bronze]

modding half sword so i can use abominations of weapons for fun

[little verge]

That's is like 1% of the job. I technically don't have to but I a was one of you only 9 months ago.

[honest thorn]

Now we just need to introduce half sword elements into shadow of war

[boreal path]

Ew

[opaque creek]

Spinning with flail is on the bucket list

[boreal path]

some guy conceptualized something the other day that reminded me of shadow of war, the "observer"

twas neat if you havent seen it already

[inland needle]

I mostly used it to bash armored enemies head's in, a good headshot would usually drop them

did they nerf that too?

[little verge]

How will you feel if Frank adds it?

[honest thorn]

Did flails actually have a use in life or is that all just fluff

[mint wadi]

Oh hmm. Well still, pretty neat. I bet it's cool working with/for the devs.

They seem like a good bunch.

[boreal path]

i will feel dislike thumbs down

[honest thorn]

Hmmm I should look at that then

[boreal path]

it is so limited that they are negligible as a part of warfare

[honest thorn]

Hope it don't get taken down by wb if the concept goes off nemesis

[little verge]

Nope. The blunt damage hits the same. The spikes do not find armor gaps as easily. It is no longer a proper can opener.

[honest thorn]

That's what I've heard

[boreal path]

the only real flails that had traction of this point in history were on the end of poles, now i'd love to see those

[shell bronze]

end of pole flails would be genuinely demonic

[honest thorn]

It's almost kinda how swords were not that common either cuz they were more used as symbols of status, no?

[shell bronze]

imagine the one shot headshots

[craggy solstice]

guys what are the best wepons for early mid and late game

[honest thorn]

Like standing armies had more axe implements instead

Pikes, etc

[boreal path]

swords were extremely common

[shell bronze]

polearm meta from start to finish

[mint wadi]

Sometimes you just gotta let go of your weapon and use your natural weapons.

[inland needle]

I honestly didn't even know it was used for penetrating armor I just enjoyed the blunt damage and range it had

[boreal path]

maces were the status symbols

[mint wadi]

I didn't know that.

[honest thorn]

Oooh got that turned around then

[mint wadi]

Maces were status symbols?

[honest thorn]

Who TF telling lies to flora again

[boreal path]

yep, still are today in fact

Candlestick, longsword, hafted mace.

long candlestick or short one

Tall stand.

i do too but jesus christ dude, insane talent

[inland needle]

sleeping on the pitchfork

[craggy solstice]

what about knife combat

[mint wadi]

nah slow-mo makes it easy.

[mint wadi]

Okay but what would Willie's Stand be

[boreal path]

generally after your polearm your sword is your best bet, and cavalry manuals point to the order of usage being polearm, sword (sometimes a long one and then a short one), mace, dagger, bare hands

in some grave sites, swords outnumber polearms

[little verge]

I like it allot but it becomes very hard peasant tier.

[mint wadi]

A fat-ass cat

That's willie's stand?

https://tenor.com/view/michael-caine-mini-me-austin-powers-tripod-arms-raise-gif-12168286

[honest thorn]

Hmm

[boreal path]

"And you must hold your lance in your hand and placed in the pouch. And setting off at the gallop, placing your lance in the lance-rest, aim for the enemy’s belly, and once the lance is broken, you shall take hold of the estoc [estoque], which should be strapped onto the left-hand side of the front arçon, secured in place in such a way that when you draw it the scabbard does not come with it. And when fighting with these weapons, strike at the visor and the voids, that is, the belly and the armpits. After you have lost or broken the estoc, you shall take hold of the arming sword [espada de armas], which shall be girded on your left-hand side, and fighting until you have lost or broken it, you shall take hold of the hammer [martillo], which shall be attached to the right-hand side of the belt with its hook. Reaching down, you shall find it, and pulling upwards, the hook will release and, with hammer in hand, you shall do what you can with it until you lose it. And after it is lost, you shall reach behind you and draw the dagger from behind your back.

And you shall grapple with your enemy with all these weapons that you have at your disposal, striking and aiming at the voids, that is, the belly and the armpits, and at the visor, with the estoc or sword and with the hammer in hand, for by wounding the head and the hands he will inevitably surrender."

[opaque creek]

The one with snap tap

[little verge]

whatever is cheapest and corded.

[opaque creek]

I typo everywhere on it

[mint wadi]

Odd that swords rival polearms. Spears are genuinely the superior weapon in almost every way.

[formal chasm]

some mechanical chinese shit that cost 20 bucks

[mint wadi]

Rival in use, I mean.

[formal chasm]

works really well too

[mint wadi]

And spears are easier to make, too.

[boreal path]

in my personal combat experience, i have found that if you have any kind of range of motion and freedom, a sword is more reliable to use than a spear

but in formation fighting obviously you dont have a lot of that

skirmishes and more hectic phases of battle i'd 100% opt for a sword

[mint wadi]

I guess it depends on the sword.

[opaque creek]

I would use brass knuckles

[white trail]

the gore in this game is becoming scary

i just skinned someone

[opaque creek]

Nice

Willie is healthier with the skin on

[inland needle]

Once early access come around

how worse can it get

i could see all of willie's organs

Having more stamina basically having more health

[strong ibex]

is controller supported?

[worn heron]

Partially
More in depth controller support is planned for early access

like it acts as a static, unmoving "wall" between you and the opponent

[honest thorn]

[boreal path]

you hold alt to keep the sword at your hip, or press and hold it at the right moment to put it there before the opponent can hit you

[livid raptor]

thank you ill try that

[honest thorn]

For some reason I want candy now

The hell is this firmware update

[echo mango]

that made my hole weak, thank you

[boreal path]

here i go from a strike to a barrier parry, you can see the way it's a lot more rigid and stays in one place

but you can hold the sword behind you and hold alt too, resulting in the sword switching from offline to online and surprising the opponent

[boreal path]

Half Sword

[mint wadi]

I have a feeling there's more to it than we think.

[mint wadi]

I'm going full conspiracy theory here but

[honest thorn]

I bet there will be halfswording involved, all I know

Maybe it'll have jousting too

[mint wadi]

They modeled horse shit.

[honest thorn]

THIS is aura farming

[mint wadi]

Which means we will be around horses at some point, or around where horses were.

I don't think we'll get mounted combat.

It's pretty cool. You can also knock people over and sometimes they will fall wrong, onto their leg to the side, breaking it.

im sharing it in game footage now its a meaty crunch

visored barbute (not real, impractical)
butted maille (next to useless)
barrel chested breastplate

tassets and weird groin plate suspended under the breastplate
his knees are bent inward
shoulder armor hardly stays on and doesn’t cover any of his arms
jank besagews that don’t stay in place
belts that do nothing

javelins

hand to hand combat is for kings

bows would be too hard to manage

you couldn’t aim

javelins you can stab aswell

[ivory hound]

yeah, trowing normal meele is hard, imagine a freakin bow

but throwing javelin would also be hard

but people could perfect the skill of melee throwing

they could put a throw sistem

but its not too realist, in a combat throwing your weapon and not killing you enemy is basically death

why is the freakin grip on the willie so weak

[grim latch]

this isn’t cod

[solemn holly]

historically accurate malnurishment

[ivory hound]

i try graple and bro just don't stick

[boreal path]

nobody used javelins back then

[grim latch]

they had spears???

they did have javelins but nobody used them

[astral adder]

Kicking does a surprising amount of damage

[grim latch]

there is a difference

[honest thorn]

while that would be a nice intuitive system i also think it would far outclass most over things you could do in the game

[ivory hound]

as i said, nobody freakin throws your weapon

[astral adder]

Ive kicked a willy in the crotch and they couldn't get up

[ivory hound]

thats dumb

[earnest topaz]

would you

[honest thorn]

being able to aim in this game is hard cuz you control the arms, not the pov right

[boreal path]

yeah but they didn’t throw them

[grim latch]

what if your throwing spear is your weapon?

throwing axe

[boreal path]

throwing spears were not used

nor were those

[ivory hound]

then my secondary is a long sword
