halfsword-chat-⚔

[devout yew]

i just want them to stay alive whilst i remove their legs, that so hard to ask? like cmon its not that deep

[shy pulsar]

can yall make armor break
in high levels

[idle ridge]

The pommel is good for Mordhau and good for half swording

[velvet moss]

mine do

[idle ridge]

@dull iron

[sour pilot]

Waiting for the forge to be added so I can make my own swords...

[tough yew]

Im not a developer but they have expressed plans of something like that ircc

[idle ridge]

Crazy

[dull iron]

aaa

[idle ridge]

Well yes but also no

[dull iron]

you're italian?

[idle ridge]

Sì

[shy pulsar]

bro imean

in high levels

[idle ridge]

It depends

[shy pulsar]

you can barely kill

[sour pilot]

You can hit it enough with a blunt object to crumple it

[shy pulsar]

in full armor

[idle ridge]

Is the plate armour new or old?

[proud jay]

are we seriously discussing if milanese armor is from italy or argentinia

[shy pulsar]

i will say it will be cool if it breaks

[idle ridge]

Cause let's say it's fresh armour

It will barely break

[dull iron]

no, milanese of the food

[shy pulsar]

yh but hard hit to the head

should sent the helmet

flying

[idle ridge]

Freshly made armour is incredibly strong and the only thing that could happen is a dent at most

[idle ridge]

No not really

[proud jay]

ok i was worried for a sec lol

[idle ridge]

You know when they have throat protection in metal?

The bevor is attached to the helmet by a sprung stud

[idle ridge]

Which one are you

[shy pulsar]

oh

[dull iron]

the one with the sword

[idle ridge]

W

[idle ridge]

I know a video if you want that can show the different parts of the armour

[shy pulsar]

yall like eggs?

[dull iron]

what kind?

[idle ridge]

Poached

[shy pulsar]

scrambled

[lavish estuary]

you can dent armor, and piercing weapons can punch through it

[idle ridge]

Ngl

All eggs are good

[lavish estuary]

^agree

[idle ridge]

It also depends like I said on the age of the armour

[velvet moss]

not really

[idle ridge]

Older armour will have a higher chance of being punched through

[dull iron]

including the meat eggs?

[idle ridge]

what are meat eggs?

[velvet moss]

i think they are incredibly overrated

[shy pulsar]

bull eggs

[lavish estuary]

but, back to the armor, in my experience you dont need to "break" it, just hit them in the head hard enough to concuss the enemy through their armor

[dull iron]

also known as testicles

[lavish estuary]

xd

[idle ridge]

WHY ARE YOU EATING BULL BALLS

[idle ridge]

That's literally the point of plate armour lmfao

[dull iron]

here are known as criadillos

[idle ridge]

You don't cut through the armour

You break the bones under the armour

[shy pulsar]

oh

cool

[idle ridge]

That's why high level has blunt weapons and not blades

[shy pulsar]

sexy

[lavish estuary]

yeah ofc but not evertyone realizes, sometimes pp overlook the obvious xd

[idle ridge]

That's also why half swording

You do Mordhau and use your pommel to smack your enemy with blunt force

[lavish estuary]

I'm a fan of going for a big halfsword hug and trying to behead them from behind

if their nape is exposed

[idle ridge]

w

[idle ridge]

I like giving the Anakin treatment

[dull iron]

what kind of music do yall' hear when are playing halfsword?

[idle ridge]

Sabaton

[dull iron]

only sabaton?

[idle ridge]

Either Templars or Carolus Rex

[dull iron]

or the unkillable soldier

[idle ridge]

Nope

Not me

[dull iron]

nothing of polka?

[idle ridge]

Sometimes I listen to a guy that lives 20 minutes away from me

Farya Faraji

Yeah I live in Canada in the same province as Farya Faraji

[lavish estuary]

I put on old shanties and similar stuff sometimes

[dull iron]

i don't know who is he/she

[lavish estuary]

longest johns, dreadnoughts, etc

sometimes more modern and experimental stuff like lil darkie tho

[idle ridge]

[lavish estuary]

any good wizard is

[dull iron]

but if a better wizard fights him he is cooked

[lavish estuary]

idk, what did me in was getting stabbed in the chest

not magic

💀

[dull iron]

[idle ridge]

I cast tungsten ballsack

[idle ridge]

Matias no-

[dull iron]

@idle ridge are you alive?

[idle ridge]

I don't wanna be

For like

5 min

[dull iron]

so you wan't to be gay?

[idle ridge]

No

[lavish estuary]

fatal error on baron is so frustrating 😦

[dull iron]

yes

[lavish estuary]

it's the only place in the game it happens for me

[idle ridge]

It is

[lavish estuary]

i know it's already being worked on but aaaaauuuughghghghg

[dull iron]

sure for the next month will be already

but if is a bug or UE5 limitation we're cocked

wait cocked isn't the word no?

cooked*

[balmy sand]

they should add a falchion-wielding armoured champion

like the grete champion icon

i still think multiple grete champions per level that are randomly picked each time would be cool

[grave jacinth]

ill get fatal error at random I feel like for sure I get it more when blood tick is set high

[dull iron]

the grete champion alone doesn't work why would you put more for probably more bugs and crashes

[balmy sand]

i think that might be a you bug

[balmy sand]

u always gotta play on lower violence levels on barob

i think it's because of the higher number of willies

[lavish estuary]

I play on the medium gore option with settings unchanged

[grave jacinth]

makes sense even with a decent rig Ill get majior fps drops

[late phoenix]

Why is it called Grete champion instead of great champion

Does grete mean something

[lavish estuary]

old spelling

[grave jacinth]

larping reasons

[drowsy flint]

is this too political?

[balmy sand]

who wants to see the hardest thing ever

https://youtu.be/QERm7MA36lM

[grave jacinth]

bruh

[dull iron]

if it's because that the devs can simply delete and instanciate more when needed or make the willies that will spawn instantiated in memory and when needed spawn them, and when they are dead simply delete them so you don't accumulate information in the pc and should be solutioned, but if it's a fisics or AI bug idk

[drowsy flint]

medieval police simulator

[lavish estuary]

probably doesnt help me that my pc is actively killing itself 😔

[balmy sand]

'simply'

[lavish estuary]

I didnt get it till this, kinda comedic genius tbh 💀

[balmy sand]

it's never simple with programming zawg

[idle ridge]

Doesn't the one with the spiked polearm have a falchion side arm?

[balmy sand]

programmers arent wizards

[balmy sand]

they aren't in fullplate tho i think

[lavish estuary]

programmers are wizards

[balmy sand]

ouughhh we need gilded fullplate

[dull iron]

i know but if they can detect when they die to apply functions you can add an asyncronous function to add a delay and delete them in a specified time

i can program it (simplier because i can't program halfsword alone)

[drowsy flint]

same

[balmy sand]

i hate it when willies try to stab me with swords

because i dont know how to parry it

[idle ridge]

I'm unsure

[balmy sand]

like zawg i am here for awsome drawn out sword duel to practice my parries for the commoner boss

[drowsy flint]

either the PSU/GPU/Mobo have some kind of near fatal error and it loses power when games get too taxing

[balmy sand]

not to get stabbed and then get angry and one-shot the enemy willie

[idle ridge]

I checkdx

[dull iron]

but it is a problem of the power supply

[idle ridge]

The militia grete champion has a falchion sidearm

[gaunt sundial]

I feel like i just cant do the ultimate challenge now, did it 3-4 times before the update, now it feels too hard? the new update changed quite a lot of things and especially fully armored knights, they dont seem to be taking damage unless you hit a perfectly aimed critical right on their head, never mind the rng xD

[lavish estuary]

nah my rig is over a decade old with a 3060 and a 1tb ssd crammed in xd

[balmy sand]

again

no fullplate

[lavish estuary]

parts be failing

[drowsy flint]

oof

mines only 5 years old but i have cats and used to smoke

[dull iron]

because it can't supply all the things at max

[hollow valve]

how to not get one shotted by grete champion?

[lavish estuary]

I have 4 dogs and do smoke 😭

[lavish estuary]

which one?

[balmy sand]

willie physics

[drowsy flint]

id like to think so but i cant get any logs to record for the crashes

which means its definitely hardware related

[dull iron]

i think is the most repeated error

[lavish estuary]

guess I need to get a 5090 for halfsword then 😔

[dull iron]

what are your components?

[dull iron]

when it releases you will need a 8090TI Super

[lavish estuary]

mine or storm's?

[dull iron]

storm's

[proud jay]

i have one it still occurs xD

[lavish estuary]

I'll just go to a larp fight at that point xd (more than I alr do)

[idle ridge]

Which one

[idle ridge]

Practice makes perfect

[dull iron]

@drowsy flint are you here?

[idle ridge]

I beat the Baron 4 times on grotesque where amputation is easier on you

[drowsy flint]

RX 5700XT, 3800X, not sure what the PSU is

ah]

Seasonic Focus GX650

[dull iron]

AMD Ryzen 3800X?

[drowsy flint]

yes

Ryzen 7

[dull iron]

ram?

[drowsy flint]

48GB of corsair DDR4

theyre all the same clock speed

but its 2 8s and 2 16s

[hollow valve]

1 jne

one*

[dull iron]

Storage?

for now it requires 500Watts

[drowsy flint]

the HDD and SSD?

no idea tbh, very old

[dull iron]

no, the quantity of hdd, ssd sata and M.2 SSD

[umbral mica]

My miniatures have this armor

[drowsy flint]

no idea

i think the SSD is M2

[dull iron]

no, is sata

481 Watts says the calculator

[drowsy flint]

for everything?

[dull iron]

if your power supply is 650Watts you should be ok, but if it has some years you could be receiving less

[drowsy flint]

thing is the issue is recent, and its gotten worse since i cleaned all the dust out

no fluid or water or anything of course

[dull iron]

all the cables are firmly into the connectors?

[drowsy flint]

as far as i can tell yes

my brother reckons the mobo has shorted somewhere

but i honestly think its just old and clapped out, seasonic isnt the best brand of PSU

[dull iron]

because some pcs have the issue with bad plug in in the gpus

and ends like this

[drowsy flint]

oh right

[dull iron]

but is with the most consuming graphics

[drowsy flint]

ill have to take it apart to see, its kinda situated in a spot that isnt easy to get access to from the side

[balmy sand]

bigass dagger

[dull iron]

the 4090 when it has released almost catchs fire if you plug it in incorrectly

[gaunt sundial]

lumberjack axe now feels like the dang hoe, the thing is flop city...

[idle ridge]

Which grete champion

[polar cape]

probably the very first one

[digital panther]

you don't

you one shot him first

grab candlestick
hold right click
move mouse all the way left
run straight at him

[safe jewel]

Do you gain something from completing the gauntlet mode?

[dull iron]

i can feel his heart

[gaunt sundial]

anyone else feel like the 1h maces now deal WAY too much structural damage? i keep getting my arms broken by the smallest slowest contacts with knights in later stages of challenge

[drowsy flint]

idk, but i know the bone breaking is kinda whacked out

i broke a guys arm in a fistfight earlier this week through just avoiding headshots, and i just died in the abyss to the red plancon boss because he broke my leg on the floor

as in he hit my shoulder, the impact pushed me into the floor, then my legs snapped

[shell bronze]

the bone breaking is the exact reason why i dual wield maces every chance i get

[safe aurora]

wip breastplate is wunderbar

[gaunt brook]

can someone help me with punching

sounds ridiculous but whenever i hold down both mouse buttons and i move my mouse to the side like with melee weapons my character doesnt appear to throw any punches most of the time but just swaps the side of his hands

im prolly just bad

[drowsy flint]

swing faster

or put your sensitivity up

does anyone else finish off their opponent or do you hold G when you win?

[lavish estuary]

both, depends

[drowsy flint]

i just defeated the scythe boss without killing him or mortally wounding him

[gaunt brook]

im in vc already

[drowsy flint]

in the trees

the trees speak Vietnamese

[drowsy flint]

took out both his hands and he surrendered

then i put him in the corner and walked into him half gripping the pitchfork, was kinda fucked now that i think abou tit

[little verge]

Perm locked, you need to interact enough to reach lvl 3.

[gaunt brook]

with friends i meant, sorry 😭

wake me up wake me up inside

[late phoenix]

perm locked but you can unlock it at lvl3

I don't think it's considered perm locked then

https://tenor.com/view/byuntear-bob-sponge-spongebob-cry-sad-gif-25905087

[little verge]

It is locked leveling it they Key.

https://tenor.com/view/halfsword-hop-on-half-sword-gif-50236232468556343

[late phoenix]

Skill issue don't get sliced in (half) by a axe

[little verge]

What gore settings?

[limber kiln]

He activated the det charges in the axe-blade

[little verge]

That will happen allot on max.

[late phoenix]

LMAOOOO

💀

How the fuck

[drowsy flint]

iirc the blow will still kill whether gore is on or not, it just shows you getting split in half rather than mysteriously keeling over

[late phoenix]

#game-footage-🎮🎥 message 💔💔

Wym

yea you get teleported to the abyss

(candlestick will win)

[drowsy flint]

yeah thats how the candlestick usually works

[late phoenix]

(she's gonna die immediately after by accidently falling over)

End part?

Yea it's weirdly op

FUCKING CALLED IT

[drowsy flint]

its because stabs are instantly fatal

[late phoenix]

I FUCKING CALLED IT

[late phoenix]

I FUCKING CALLED IT

I despise the abyss

https://tenor.com/view/halfsword-hop-on-half-sword-gif-50236232468556343

[drowsy flint]

omg i forgot how sickening maces are

[gaunt brook]

do yall like first person mode 😭

[late phoenix]

your weaknesses are axes it appears

[drowsy flint]

its all i play until i cant see through the helmet anymore

[gaunt brook]

i lack patience :()

[dull iron]

i almost die

[late phoenix]

It's called

The lack of skill

[dull iron]

@late phoenix so i have so much skill

[late phoenix]

What am I even seeing

[dull iron]

because i'm almost dying almost 3 times

[dull iron]

he is petting me with his weapon

[gaunt brook]

im a peasant

finally

[late phoenix]

Wym finally

[dull iron]

the inverse run

[small dove]

huh

[late phoenix]

Oh

[gaunt brook]

i mean i suck at the game 😭

i kept getting pulped

i cant wait until this game hopefully gets multiplayer

[late phoenix]

You have him memories of the war

[late phoenix]

That's like 4-3 years from now

And even then it's not guaranteed

😭🙏

[small dove]

this is him now btw

[gaunt brook]

aw

[late phoenix]

The slap was necessary

[gaunt brook]

i hope we get the option to play against steam friends

[cursive gate]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[late phoenix]

Dunno man I think matches would be over way too quickly unless players get a extreme amount of hp

[late phoenix]

Was it the left hook?

[nimble sleet]

so

i just finished up abyss

charged my boss with a candelabra

[dull iron]

axe

[late phoenix]

It was

[gaunt brook]

i mean probably, itd just be a lot of fun with friends

[nimble sleet]

TRIED throwing it away

and smacked my ass in the face and killed myself by thring tot hrow it

[cursive gate]

yeah, the most brutal left hook i've ever seen in this game

[nimble sleet]

i am so fucking pissed rn lol

[cursive gate]

knocks his whole head sideways and he's out like a light

[late phoenix]

Left hooks seem to be much stronger then the right hook

Are you a new player?

[visual swan]

R the devs making half sword multiplayer

[late phoenix]

then you would know pitchfork is much better

[late phoenix]

probably not

[nimble sleet]

no

[cursive gate]

i think it's because of the distance from the left hand to the camera compared to the right

[supple grotto]

My Willie seems really bored what kind of enrichment should I get him? I’ve gotten him some armour and a new spear but nothing changed

[late phoenix]

If they do it's not until the release of the game

Even then

[dull iron]

yes, it is but is way cooler go cutting heads with a fucking axe

[late phoenix]

Not guaranteed

[late phoenix]

Perhaps

[cursive gate]

although that clip was in first person so i'm not sure

[small dove]

the hoe is a underrated weapon

yaaaaaaaaaa

[dull iron]

finally i'm the baron

[gaunt brook]

i died as peasant

[late phoenix]

I don't think it is
So many weapons are better

[late phoenix]

Why r u always purple

[small dove]

kitchen knife on top tho

[slow jolt]

hey if i die during ultimate challenge do i stop being a knight

do i lose everything

[dull iron]

idk

[late phoenix]

Nope

You lose nothing

[dull iron]

is the same challenge

but i pause the game when i chat

[slow jolt]

so be it

[late phoenix]

What?

[slow jolt]

ult challenge time

[dull iron]

(yes i've been 30 minutes getting distracted in the discord chat)

[late phoenix]

No if you get to the Ultimate challenge you literally can't lose your progress unless you delete your save

😭😭

Ohh

[gaunt brook]

whoever said they kicked a coffin and there was an axe in there i feel your pain

[late phoenix]

@slow jolt

[gaunt brook]

same shit just happened to me

[late phoenix]

Yea it's a amazing weapon at the start

[late phoenix]

But then enemies get armor its not as useful

[gaunt brook]

i lost my peasant

[small dove]

yo did i just knee this guy?

[slow jolt]

OH

OH LETS GO

finally

the pain

the agony

the slog of havign to hit 19 guys with a warhammer in the head

[dull iron]

the knife has a small ass? and if the answer is yes or no, why are you watching the knife's ass

[slow jolt]

over

[late phoenix]

Only way u can lose your progress is if you do this

[slow jolt]

i see

my thanks

[dull iron]

[boreal widget]

is it even possible to beat the black knight with a sword

[small dove]

yes

[shell bronze]

yes

[boreal widget]

I’ve tried to get through every opening possible and I haven’t seen a drop of blood

[shell bronze]

blunt damage spam

slap his head until he fall

[boreal widget]

he got through an opening that apparently existed in my hip

and I didn’t have time to back out

[buoyant flower]

damn

unfortunate

[boreal widget]

first time I ever made it to knight

[buoyant flower]

i literally have a photo of me holding the barons weapon next to his neck after i knocked him down

[velvet moss]

i have made i my goal to get to the ult challenge by friday

[austere salmon]

Use the greataxe

[velvet moss]

For the ult or for the gauntlet?

Also which axe is that, there’s tons

[austere salmon]

The heavier your weapon os the more likely ot is to dent plate and break bones

Ideally, yes

[austere salmon]

The greataxe

Big crescent head, spike on the back, real heavy

[velvet moss]

Aight

I’ll try

The commoner boss is the biggest barrier

[hollow valve]

Wth,just beaten a boss and tripped over his scythe and died at the same time as i got commoner and everything resetted😭😭😭

[austere salmon]

The guy with a black coat?

Halfsword your weapon, rush in after a parry and stab through his gambeson

[buoyant flower]

DAMN.

[austere salmon]

Solid hit

[cinder stone]

right? :3 it's rare that I get such a clean hit for a first swipe

I think I broke something inside that willie

[torpid hornet]

why i lost peasant?

im beggar agian

[fathom sierra]

I heard @gleaming iron gives out free toe pics. Can anyone confirm this?

[torpid hornet]

why i unlocked peasant died and im beggar agian

[tired coral]

gauntlet mode has to be done without dying, like a roguelike
you can switch to free mode to play any level

[torpid hornet]

why

when can u die

[soft osprey]

When you win

[torpid hornet]

but when i go free mode im still beggar even tho im peasant why?

[tardy burrow]

How to kick man

I am stuck with no skill it this game 🫠

[late phoenix]

Have you thought about clicking the classes?

[slow jolt]

ultimate challennnge is inhuukae tortute

[torpid hornet]

space

[slow jolt]

inhumane

why must i fight t5-6s witha commoner sword

[late phoenix]

No but I hate how enemies are always a class above you

[fierce cairn]

how do i get img perms

[late phoenix]

Level 2

[lime reef]

Does anyone know if there will be an online mode?

[late phoenix]

I'm level 3 with 600 ish messages

[late phoenix]

Probably not happening sorry #faq

[slow jolt]

yeah

[late phoenix]

It might release after the release but it's not guaranteed

[tardy burrow]

Thx buddy

[slow jolt]

how does anyone do ult challenge

[late phoenix]

Found the gauntlet extremely easy

[torpid hornet]

i love white monmster

[late phoenix]

Ultimate challenge increased the difficulty by 60 times

[tardy burrow]

😻

[cinder stone]

here, have a giggle

[slow jolt]

true

tenfold increase in difficulty

given i cant heal

[half cloak]

This game and crashing is like 2012 Lebron

[cinder stone]

you can, it just takes time running around and avoiding damage

[slow jolt]

gotta play extremely safe and even that cant save me some times

[cinder stone]

if your limbs are broken or torn off though you're as good as dead

[slow jolt]

interesting, like abyss?

[tardy burrow]

I always cut them heads so satisfying

[tiny condor]

Chat important question is there a master list of all of Willies voicelines

[cinder stone]

stomping them in the balls is funnier

[tiny condor]

I found one with the curses but haven’t been able to find anything solid on the surrender / victory taunts

[tardy burrow]

Nah to much torture and not that much blood 🩸

[cinder stone]

^ plus sometimes less is more

in the teeth! you know he felt that

[tiny condor]

If you’re really having trouble there’s nothing stopping you from playing with the damage sliders iirc, I think they affect gauntlet?

[mild kraken]

how do i go inside like a cage?

[tiny condor]

Tbh what I did for the ult challenge was turn the damage I took down and the damage enemies took a little bit up, I know the whole point of it is to be really really rough and a challenge but the constant threat of losing a hand or leg and losing the entire run was enough difficulty for me tbh

[late phoenix]

What

This is the most confusing message I've seen here

What cage

[mild kraken]

nvm

[slow jolt]

thats a reasonable strategy but i believe i must experience the full extent of the pain

hmm

i will utilize the weapons they drop more

[tiny condor]

Ah. In that case. Polearm and by god whatevwr you do DONT CLOSE DISTANCE

You need to be slapping people in the teeth with a war staff. You need to be caving in helmets with an early halberd.

[slow jolt]

i understand

i spammed warhammer in man at arms and knight

[tiny condor]

A lost limb or something usually means instant run loss in my experience so!

[slow jolt]

my thanks

[tiny condor]

Warhammer is okay, the blunt damage isn’t super consistent imo, the reason I suggest halberd or warstaff is because both are sharp enough to get lucky throat hits or stabs while having a large enough area to give leeway with blunt damage

Oh and also. When you get to the end. Whatevwr you don’t let yourself get knocked to the ground

[slow jolt]

ah, i just meant im used to keeping distance

[tiny condor]

If you do it’s joever (again in my experience, don’t give up till you literally die)

[tiny condor]

Keeping distance is the best method in general from what I’ve seen

[late phoenix]

Since there is no punishment to dying

[slow jolt]

alrighty, thank you for the advice, i will try to not fet ganked

[tiny condor]

You could learn parrying or you could S + Shift and then put a sword in someone’s foot

[worn heron]

should I eat one of my five leaf clovers so I can INFUSE the luck STRAIGHT IN MY VIENS

[tiny condor]

My last tip, don’t let them get around you or surround you, the last thing you need is to lose vision of a Willy with a mace

But you probably already knew that so

[late phoenix]

Me after seeing that message

[tiny condor]

Eat grass, eat clovers

[late phoenix]

[tiny condor]

Herbivore behavior .

[late phoenix]

Also

You should try knocking down the baron

[worn heron]

but listen

I can BECOME the luck

[late phoenix]

Guys a fucking tank but you can trip him and he's a fatass

[tiny condor]

THIS IS ALSO TRUE

if you can get that fat fuck o the ground then good for you DO NOT STOP BEATING HIM

[late phoenix]

Just kick him

Kick him forever

[tardy burrow]

Why you hate berserk?

[tiny condor]

Just be sure to not get thrown to the ground as nothing will save you other then luck atp

[worn heron]

Big sord

[tardy burrow]

Hm? I like big swords

[worn heron]

do you want the Dragonslayer to be added to the game?

-#

[tardy burrow]

Yes so much

[worn heron]

BANNED

https://tenor.com/view/dog-spinning-dog-spin-target-dog-spinning-target-dog-meme-gif-6166964476964294520

[torpid hornet]

as a commoner if u go demo and u die will u lose progress?

[tardy burrow]

I hate Griffith worst Villain a true femboy man berserk have right

[tardy burrow]

Hm look like snoz

[worn heron]

yee

[worn heron]

It's really just an inside joke BC we get a ton of people asking us to add the Dragonslayer Sword so

pushed me to the BRINK

[torpid hornet]

like u go to beggar agian?

[tardy burrow]

You know I upgraded only strength in Elden ring so I like big swords not only dragon slayer

[worn heron]

Yep! You have a chance to fight your way out of the abyss, and save the character, but if you die, you'll reset progress

[tardy burrow]

Understand but still 🫠 big swords are so good

[torpid hornet]

how to save character?

[worn heron]

fight through the abyss when you die! You will face a few enemies, then a boss

[late phoenix]

Yo bro why did willie just call me

[worn heron]

If you kill them, you can save yourself

[worn heron]

He said Egad

please

[torpid hornet]

what.

[late phoenix]

I love how this one message triggers mods

[worn heron]

if you die in the gauntlet, you will be sent to the abyss.

fight through the abyss to "save" your character and keep going.

[worn heron]

we have just heard it so many times

[late phoenix]

[torpid hornet]

how to save

[late phoenix]

Go to settings

[torpid hornet]

ok

i cant even escape from settings

[fossil kindle]

is there a way to play the real game

[worn heron]

There's no "save files"

When I say "save" your character, I mean you can keep fighting in the gauntlet AFTER you get out of the abyss

You must fight several enemies in the abyss and win

Then you can continue where you left off

[tawdry vale]

Made it to knight tier in the abyss, and I still don't have any leg armor.

I'M SCARED OUT OF MY GOURD

[worn heron]

The full game isn't out yet— just the demo on steam. Early Access comes Q4 of this year— make sure to wishlist it!

[worn heron]

i usually try to not get any pants but find armour

It's funny

[tawdry vale]

I found pants WAY early game

Like, Beggar Tier

I might try that later, though. for the lols

Update, found some busted up shits, but I think I'm outnumbered at this point

I acquired an armet as well.

[drowsy flint]

this is for everyone who has struggled for hours against this boss

behold! the beggar boss w busted up limbs

[tawdry vale]

That boss is easy as fuck (Says the guy who has lost count how many times he died to him when the game first came out)

[worn heron]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1373147173008707606/1376989413447434380/zQptewPA.gif

we have a gif of this bc FUCK that guy

[drowsy flint]

and now he dies, but not easily

[dark summit]

was head crushing removed? i havent played in a bit but i feel like it used to happen a lot

[near grotto]

Halfsword is gonna enter early access and just be an armor and carpet gallery

[worn heron]

yee, it was rather cartoonish and unrealistic with the "popping", and has been removed. The devs are working on a much more realistic system of caving in skulls and other injuries that will likely be present in the Early Access build!

[late phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/shawn-breezy-gamma-male-gif-13452613280176262444

How mfs feel after adding guts sword into the game

(they will talk about it non stop for 60 hours)

[drowsy flint]

oops

mistimed my axe swing

[minor oasis]

you can barely swing it before the weight pulls you down lol

[drowsy flint]

i caught his axe with my face though so theres that

[drowsy flint]

tbf the sickening cracks of the skull being hit with a mace anyway are enough for now

[tardy burrow]

Man what if they add bow to game that was pretty cool

[worn heron]

I still remember finding out you can paralyze the poor dude with a good hit to the spine, and that shit was crazy

[drowsy flint]

can you? thats pretty sweet

never done it

[worn heron]

Lemme find tha clip
It's a lil old but should be able to do it still

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/iK3aThDuVPCGVzFOK/spok?invite=cr-MSw0dHQsMjAxMzQ4MTMyLA

[crude flower]

Not even that hard smh

[worn heron]

no not really but he reminds me a lot of the OG scytheman from the abyss, easy to kill, but if you make one little mistake it can cost you

they punish lil mistakes

[crude flower]

Scythe guy was tougher i feel

[worn heron]

you're close to earning them ! Check #stat-rank-check with /rank to see your level. At level 2 you will earn embeds

[minor oasis]

you can also hit him right in the back of the head and it will paralize him neck down

[crude flower]

This guy has a giant wind up time

[drowsy flint]

lol we swapped weapons

[worn heron]

yee, still reminds me of the scytheman in the way the fight goes . One easy stab and it's over

[crude flower]

Get outta here

[worn heron]

just chattin will increase your level

[late phoenix]

Idk how that would work

[drowsy flint]

hes still the same id say

very easy to fight but his weapon swings wildly unpredictably and if it touches you you just die

[mint wadi]

It's probably not historically accurate but spinning with polearms is absolutely devastating.

[worn heron]

Also, change your dc pronouns big guy. None of that here.

Much appreciated lol

[tardy burrow]

Idk need bigger arena for bow

[mint wadi]

It didn't change your pronouns for me

Now it did.

[worn heron]

there's a lot planned that we have yet to see 🙈

[mint wadi]

Is...your pfp the "didn't I do this for you?" dog but your dragon sona

[drowsy flint]

bruh

clip ruined by stabbing being randomly broken

[mint wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/borzoi-gif-27403233

[drowsy flint]

youll see what i mean when i get him on the floor

[worn heron]

pretty much I guess
Just a big sniffer

[austere salmon]

this game is beautiful on dx12

[minor oasis]

gave him the london special

[latent moon]

this willie was a skilled one

[worn heron]

agree.

[drowsy flint]

i would have if itd actually stabbed him

it did that stupid thing where knives bounce off of skin

[minor oasis]

it does that sometimes

[worn heron]

I find this happens much more in the 3rd gore level. The mid level seems to work best imo

[tardy burrow]

Appreciate this torture 👍

[worn heron]

Bro is raising his fist in triumph

[drowsy flint]

weird how it happens though

unless gore does affect damage and isnt purely cosmetic

[worn heron]

Oh it totally does. Higher gore levels will result in easier/more dismemberment

[mint wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-noritoshi-kamo-noritoshi-hanami-gif-414235470184514521

[last totem]

IS it just me or in th recent update, Willie just crouches randomly and stops walking forward?

[austere salmon]

weeb

[worn heron]

I find that stabbing with the short weapons has trouble on higher gore tho

[mint wadi]

I'm not even a weeb lol

I don't watch anime.

[worn heron]

Haven't seen it myself really

[last totem]

HUh

[worn heron]

I do

shit goes hard

[drowsy flint]

i do feel like they should die faster from headshots

[worn heron]

can't wait for solo leveling season 3 🗣️

[mint wadi]

(I read the manga and then just watch the hype moments on youtube)

[drowsy flint]

granted, this isnt brain, but it should be brain stem

[latent moon]

this also applies to the enemy
it seems to happen towards the center of the arena (at least for me)
restarting your game should fix it at least temporarily

[mint wadi]

Though I don't really read manga anymore either.

I read a ton of progression fantasy and litrpg.

[austere salmon]

weeb

[mint wadi]

Actually, I hope there's stats in the full game.

Like, the strength of your character, agility, etc.

Governs how heavy of a weapon you can use, how fast you dodge, how much damage you can take.

[deep shale]

the level three swordsman

[mint wadi]

How much armor you can use without a stamina penalty.

That'd be sick.

[last totem]

YES

[deep shale]

wear two gambesons

or perhaps three

[mint wadi]

Death by heat stroke?

[balmy sand]

mod/gamemode idea

Night Of The Living Willies

any loadout, infinitely spawning 'zombie' willies that have some special characteristics

They cannot bleed out
They do not die when their limbs are severed
They do not surrender
They can only die from head trauma

[drowsy flint]

are organs modelled and simulated?

ive heard conflicting reports

[balmy sand]

i think?

they are atleast modelled i think

[latent moon]

just aim for the head

[minor oasis]

they were in an older build but idk why they aren't there anymore

[austere salmon]

what about decapitation/ bisection

[balmy sand]

maybe theres a boss zombillie every like. five 'waves'

[minor oasis]

when you clip into a willie you'll see the lungs modeled though

[balmy sand]

they're zombies so that probably kills them

better idea for zombie willies;

they do not die when their heads are cut off

[austere salmon]

what of a slit throat

[balmy sand]

only spinal damage kills them 🧌

[balmy sand]

they cannot bleed out

[balmy sand]

the zombillies start out as naked beggars but eventually get commoner garb, but basic zombillies NEVER get full plate armour

[austere salmon]

brother that is where your spinal column goes

[balmy sand]

only boss zombillies get plate

[drowsy flint]

was going to say because i just stabbed where this guys heart is maybe 6 times and he still took ages to bleed out

[austere salmon]

and 90% of damage to the neck snaps it

[balmy sand]

they cannot bleed out

[rugged monolith]

We need this game in VR

[drowsy flint]

same with stabs in the head they take a while to die considing their brain has a hole in it now

[balmy sand]

we dont need it

we just want it

we should be content with what we have (half sword)

half sword is a poor man's blade and sorcery but even better

[drowsy flint]

speak for yourself

[latent moon]

where sorcery then

[balmy sand]

the one downside it has over blade and sorcery is that it can't be modded (yet)

cheat trainers dont count

[minor oasis]

ehh its inconsistent, sometimes i'll stab them in the hips and will collapse instantly but a hit to the head and they are still standing

[balmy sand]

arrow time

is magic

claerly

[latent moon]

true

also dont blade and sorcery enemies have like incredibly preset attacks?

[balmy sand]

yes

blade and sorcery is really shit ngl

i'd play it more if there was a mod that gave them more attack animations

[late phoenix]

Closet the vr u can get in this game is first person

Lots of ppl have confused it for VR before

[mint wadi]

The carotid artery is simulated.

[drowsy flint]

like, unless im a moron, this is definitely heart

[balmy sand]

what if willies have that syndrome that flips all your organs around

[drowsy flint]

all of them XD

[balmy sand]

or what if willie used a 4000 year old tibetan monk technique to move his heart

[minor oasis]

thats moreso the lung

[loud stone]

i wonder if the willies are weaker or as strong as you

[balmy sand]

https://tenor.com/view/смирт-gif-3568711380578436687

[balmy sand]

depends on size

larger willies are actually stronger, i figured this out from spawning excessivelyl arge willies with mods

[latent moon]

willie size matters

[late phoenix]

Lowest damage input to willies or what??

[late phoenix]

Depends on the settings u use

[latent moon]

You cant like actualy go through structured parries in the game right?
I did a parry that usually works on normal willies against the boss willie and got absolutely demolished

[late phoenix]

Generally same power as u I think unless they're bosses but due to their intelligence I would call them weaker

[drowsy flint]

i mean there are definitely organs there

[balmy sand]

when you make a willie larger

they just get elongated and stretched

[late phoenix]

I didn't play when the play test was still a thing what were the differences

[balmy sand]

humorously, the willies won't stop shooting up and then smashing into the ground when i make them big

[drowsy flint]

the heart is in the centre of the chest

rather than off to the left

it seems

[latent moon]

proof that willie size matters

[drowsy flint]

this one is pretty graphic ill warn people

[mint wadi]

How are either of these prove that size matters lol

[drowsy flint]

IRL? no

[latent moon]

the bigger one is stronger
he just went right through the block

[drowsy flint]

if youre blocking with your weapon only IRL youre doing it wrong

it should be structured so that the weapon is hit but the shock is absorbed and dissipated by the body

[latent moon]

oh

well i dont really have fencing expirience irl

[drowsy flint]

but this is a game

[drowsy flint]

me either, im an early medieval reenactor

but still

[sweet wave]

that’s what she said anaahahahahah

[drowsy flint]

bruh

idk how we all missed that

[latent moon]

I should really consider wording stuff differently

definitely need to word stuff better guys

[drowsy flint]

i have semi scientifically assertained that a stab in the heart is not fatal ingame

i mean it is

obviously

but not in the way you think

[loud stone]

are the willies ambidextrous?

[drowsy flint]

i want to say no

[little verge]

https://tenor.com/view/meh-mediocre-so-so-kinda-maybe-gif-13935570

[loud stone]

uhhh

cool.

[drowsy flint]

it might be because im not left handed, but fighting southpaw feels less effective

[latent moon]

willie is just medieval john wick

if john wick was a drunkard recovering from medieval cocaine

[sweet wave]

or a John wick victim

[drowsy flint]

john wicktim

[mint wadi]

Yo this was a SICK axe parry.

[loud stone]

john willie

wait

Willie wick

[drowsy flint]

Wick Willie

[sweet wave]

it’s John

[drowsy flint]

like wet willie

[sweet wave]

Willie

[drowsy flint]

but murdery]

[loud stone]

the willies are not male, their real gender is willie

[drowsy flint]

correct

[winter wasp]

Half-Sword

[drowsy flint]

they appear as human males, but are instead strange smooth ken dolls, as if grown for combat

but like, really badly

[loud stone]

BRO I WAS GONNA SAY THEIR BODYS LOOK LIKE KEN DOLLS

[drowsy flint]

(until the balance update, the one that literally makes their balance better)

[sweet wave]

the willies don’t have willies 😮

[storm storm]

yeah

they just have a big buldge

skin buldge

[winter wasp]

They're wearing skin color underwear.

can't change my mind.

just blends in

advanced tech

[drowsy flint]

feels awful and seems like it aims too high

[latent moon]

indeed

[drowsy flint]

Willie had a stroke

[loud stone]

the willie went amimir

[winter wasp]

Anxiety attack

[latent moon]

my willie just isnt combat viable anymore

hes too nervous

[tardy burrow]

🫠

He need drink beer

[proven verge]

got your nooose

[drowsy flint]

is it me or does the 2H mace suck ass

[proven verge]

is u mang

[loud stone]

any time my willie's leg pops off i just imagine my willie screaming "My leg!"

like the funni fish

oh dear did i kill the chat?

[mint wadi]

"Time to drink your blood over where you stand, your life now is in my hand"

[lavish sapphire]

2h mace goated

[drowsy flint]

which one

[mint wadi]

All of them.

[lavish sapphire]

all of em but i like the non spiked one so i can do purely blunt dmg without blood

[drowsy flint]

this one?

[lavish sapphire]

not rlly its more of a ball without flanges but i still like that one as well

[drowsy flint]

bc thats the kit i just had and every fight was a slog, he swung it really weirdly and the hits that did connect didnt do so properly

was weird

[proven verge]

fellow dual weilder spotted

[mint wadi]

stabbed

[drowsy flint]

the hats are awful

lmao my beggar fist fight willie just brained himself on a fence post

why does all the cool shit happen when i stop filming

[mint wadi]

I really like the 2 handed hammer

[drowsy flint]

holy shit

[drowsy flint]

i like this one as well, just a shame about his kit

[misty geyser]

God damn bruh i opened the steam overlay once and it crashed my whole pc

Blackscreened with the fight music and random beeps

[drowsy flint]

ok so can anyone tell my why my guy is buck naked right now 😂

[sweet wave]

it’s butt naked 😡

[drowsy flint]

like full on ken doll smooth genital region naked

[quaint hazel]

potato tomato

[drowsy flint]

its a bug

or R34

not sure yet

[quaint hazel]

either way im not complaining

[drowsy flint]

i think i might have bad luck in the game later on because im not very merciful early on

like karma or some shit

i mean look at this peasant boss

we could have parted ways, I as the victor and he to return to his wheat farm

but no

fuck him

but later on i will die horribly

[sweet wave]

how do I defeat the commoner boss

I see

I wish you could fight bosses on their own without going through the gauntlet

[drowsy flint]

commoner? longsword

bait the swing

counterattack

[solemn holly]

play as a peasant with a pitchfork

you get range advantage and a wide stab hitbox

[sweet wave]

the massive Willie will get pitchforked

actually

he’ll get sliced this time

[craggy solstice]

fish?

what

what

fishj

?

what the skib is this bro

[drowsy flint]

he fell

[craggy solstice]

tuff

[steep walrus]

haircut i want for my physics teacher

[drowsy flint]

thats psychotic ngl

what the fuck

like fr what the fuck

[sweet wave]

kill the Willie

put him out of his misery

[drowsy flint]

i did

i had to chase him and avoid the lid

[solemn holly]

did he win

[stoic steppe]

ggs

I just found my new favourite weapons

its not polearms. It's not swords

It's those shields that cover your forearm

make it 2

nah

just

shields

hear me out

ok nvm uh, imagine this

imagine putting your face between two plates and smashing it left and right

somehow it works with those wearing helms

idk, its kinda fun too

[stoic steppe]

took a few tries but I did baron with them without dmg modifiers

[covert forge]

why does he look happy

[stoic steppe]

its just damn long

[stoic steppe]

at least bro has good dental hygiene

[covert forge]

pearly whites

[stoic steppe]

fr

[sweet wave]

a Willie spawned behind me in abyss and inserted a sword into my Willy

[stoic steppe]

must be nice

[sweet wave]

not really

[stiff socket]

they have names?

[sweet wave]

yes

Willie

[stoic steppe]

i mean, as far as I know

they all go by willie

[stiff socket]

oh

[solemn holly]

it's all willie

[stiff socket]

i feel bad slaughtering him now

[stoic steppe]

willie here, willie there, willie everywhere

willie in my willie

[stiff socket]

being named penis in english slang is bad enough

[sweet wave]

yeah

also

[gusty gate]

i just hit a guy and i heard the nastiest crunch

is there bonebreaking

[stiff socket]

i think so?

[drowsy flint]

yes

[sweet wave]

it makes funny messages

[drowsy flint]

yes

[mint wadi]

Do you guys have favorite armor? This helmet goes so hard.

[sleek gull]

My favorite armor, is no armor = )

[sweet wave]

you can dislocate knees

[sterile current]

I know the release date is 2025 but do we have any idea on when exactly? And what other features there will be? Thanks

[stiff socket]

i wish they'd add the houndskull

its my favorite helmet of all time

[drowsy flint]

yeah the bones that break are joints and neck

and spine, apparently, but idk personally

[solemn holly]

Q4 2025,
from what the devs have shown us, there's going to be weapon customization, character customization, more armour, more weapons, more gamemodes, and more maps

[naive holly]

Generally fond of the long sallet

[stiff socket]

the bloodhound knight from elden ring is the coolest shit ever so naturally the houndskull bascinet is my favorite

[sweet wave]

can you parry in this game

[solemn holly]

you can

[sweet wave]

I just dodge then swing wildly

how

[naive holly]

Timing and accuracy

Smack they weapon and riposte

There's also passive parry which kind of guides your blade gently into a good spot to active parry.

[worn heron]

[sweet wave]

rip
