Indeed
Need full gear for that and even then just maybe
hope you get to, I get the impression that people don't like competitive HEMA a lot
I DID IT
as a sport it's got to be one of the coolest
Hello Half sworders
I'm gonna play half sword after 2 months (I think)
I'll let you know how it goes
There already is one
You go from lvl 1 beggar to lvl 10000 Knight
abyss zero to hero
How competitive hema is is completely up to the individual
ill try this next
oh gosh i hope there's no mobile ripoff of this game
Im pretty sure there was a while back
Sadly I tripped and sprained my dominant wrist last Saturday. It’s no longer a problem in daily life but I don’t think I should strain it by fencing
Name?
Don’t quite remember but I think it was literally called Half sword
Might be taken down by now
right, It's just I've seen some posts something about trying to stick to historicity in competition is hard which imo is silly because the ruleset in itself kind of forces a realistic approach
oof
yeah don't push it, don't want to make bad worse
hope you get to go back soon full strength
Not perfect but atleast it’s way less corrupt than high level Olympic
true
the jump and between the leg snipes in sabre lol
Hopefully it’s good in time for Saturday sparring
If I understand correctly the big issue in competitive longsword is that realistically weighted blunts can go against ultralight feders
i thought i wanted to do olympic sabre in the beginning but it is so different than HEMA sabre I don't think i'll like it
oh yeah, on one hand it's why go for a heavier weapon when a lighter sword will do the job and strain less, on the other hand you can accidentally knock the granny out of someone with a heavy sword
Biggest difference is probably the larger weight, no right of way and the ability to grapple with the offhand.
right and olympic sabre is so fast paced it just feels forced
Both have advantages and disadvantages. A nimbler is good for sniping hands while a chonky one is good for displacements and in the bind
Hema saber is cinematic as fuck
for example you just hit each other so fast and you both die and both start celebrating because both thought they hit each other first or had the row
Right of way rules also allow for corrupt judges in competitions
right it is!! trying to find crazy angles and out cut the opponent while trying to stay alive
so true, yeah it might be more realistic than we think but I think epee is the tamest out of all of them just because there's no right of way
More that it’s a good speed for going back and fourth instead of just committing to one action and yelling ”Inshallah”
I can else say that epee is like 4x more straining than longsword
right, self preservation with solid parries is cooler
understandable, a lot of charging and footwork
not saying longsword has it easy footwork wise
No not that. Its that longsword is 2 handed putting far less strain on your wrist and arm
Saber is also less straining because you often use the opponents strike to power your movement instead of always resisting it
w
you kind of have to right? the weight of the sword doesn't really allow stopping and restarting the momentum
THREE FIGHTS WON IN A ROW
WHOOO
Anyways

It’s more that it’s one handed and the excellent hand protection makes it really good at moulinet (wheel motions) since your hand can stay forward
And yes the weight makes constantly stopping it quite tiring
oh yeah the moulinet mechanics are really cool
yeah yeah snap cuts more practical but gosh so stylish
All cuts have their uses. Snap cuts lack power but are quick.
right, quite literally a straight punch with an extension
Moulinet cuts carry a ton of force (ask me how I know) and can be very quick if powered by the opponents attack
Although it’s easily displaced if near their sword
i understand, I've hit myself in the back of the head so many times when i started learning moulinet cuts

I thought there wasn’t a club near you?
How do you hit the back of your head. Moulinet are usually cut from above meaning it goes up when towards you
It might be hard to learn a parry and riposte weapon like the saber by yourself
hey guys
i have a question
when the full game releases will there be mod workshop to it?
or nah
of course nothing beats real sparring but hey it's the best i can do, it's like swinging a stick around as a kid lok
Probably. But moulinets are usually counters using the opponents strike for power. And most attacks are from above
right that makes sense
There are two kinds of guys. Those who fought with sticks and liars
every kid's dream
off topic but when i played kcd1 it felt like a dream come true lol
hey guys
role playing as a medieval knight
will the game be on vr when it releases?
that would be so cool
swingin around would be perfect
someone agrees?
yeah it'd cool but there are already so many VR fight games but not enough like half sword
i don't know but logically they'd stay away right
We got poleaxes and study Talhoffers manuals at my club but most sparring is replicating unarmored fencing
yea ik but half sword would be PEAK on vr too (i know devs need to release the game first)
Biggest issue with be is probably replicating your opponent pushing back on your blade
right, again I love the self preservation part of fencing lol no armor to protect you
right! that's an issue with most VR games
Developing it for proper vr would just mean making a whole new game from scratch
A poleaxe strike to the head will still drop a knight and you still have to protect the weakpoints like the armpit, neck, groin, visor, inside of elbow, back of knee
Armored fencing looks very different but weakspots must still be protected
Also a lot of wrestling in Talhoffers manual
Like a lot
that's also why I'm scared of buhurt lol, wrestling and having 200 lbs dropped on top of you plus eye injury
and yes head injury
poke the
Buhurt gear is a lot thicker and don’t know about buhurt but hema polearms don’t use steel heads for safety reasons
All 2 handed weapons require constraint when hitting the head
understandable
Especially on the top of the head since the mask got way less shock absorption there
the length multiplying the force
oof yeah concussion
Ngl ima crash out if we dont get a trailer for Early Acces (EA) in the next like 4 months 😭
A full power longsword strike will give you a concussion.
Thats why having control of your sword is important
I have only seen one accident in the 6 months I have there
right and sportsmanship
lack of perms
I've seen some videos of people retaliate striking right on the head it's gnarly
i killed the baron on abyss
what happened?
Everybody is a chill medieval nerd and probably autistic
a few minutes ago i got hit with the beam of eternal pain and suffering
pierce damage on warhammer is insane
my kind of people
People from other clubs where visiting and during a duel one of the visiting girls got hit quite hard very far back on the mask
oof back is in back of the head?
Btw there is almost an even split of guys and girls
Far back on top of the head from what I gathered
A severe concussion
oh gosh
Got picked up by ambulance
was she wearing the full mask or only the front
id imagine everyones wearing full gear but
She had an overlay on the mask.
Sparring with steel is not allowed without full gear
get rid of 2 willies
right that's good
Accidents do happen but proper restraint and sportsmanship means they are few and far between
how is my game not crashing
the person who did it probably feels crazy guilty
guys how do you have more control on the direction of your weapon? especially holding it in the upper position when a willies taller than you
Maybe. On the other hand and accident is an accident and everyone knows the risks of the sport. Also the mask might have been damaged in some way there
yeah really not a good idea to cheap out even a little bit on protection
Not that. I meant that it might have been slightly dented or something from use
But yeah cheaping out on gear is a terrible idea
forseen when getting into the sport
do you wear shin pads
why does my willie keep playing with his goddamned feet instead of getting up
I've seen some tourney rules requiring shorts or skirts but not anything below
Happened before I joined but a dude in my club did longsword without forearm guards and broke one of his radial bones
oof
bro one of my enemies surrendered because he tripped on my body
That is part of the gear but since I’m still stuck with foam swords only a mask and optionally a gorget is needed
So no
right that's nice
oh by the way what kind of shoes do you wear for either hema or epee
i heard indoor soccer shoes have good grip
I just regular indoor sports shoes
neat
That sounds like a terrible idea. Besides the injury risk to the legs being quite high, a big part of the gear is it being stab proof in case a sword breaks. If that happens to a unprotected thigh you might cut the massive artery and bleed out in half a minute
right for sure
The gear is both for blunt force and to protect against a sharp broken blade
gosh every time i see the swords bending in sparring videos i start flinching
as if the tip is gonna just snap and fly into someone's face
They are designed to have flexible tips to avoid injuries. And they can bend A LOT.
I'd imagine
If it do break you got the gear
seen swords go flying after a thrust also
Although I don’t think I have seen a single sword breaks in the 6 months I have been there
right but bystanders ... oof
hope no one is around not wearing protection
If you are in range of that you are already too close to the fencers
Then again they designed to bend that much meaning the bent blade got far less energy stored than a real sword would
right when i first started researching gears for fun i was kinda baffled at the price but yeah it's worth it if i want to spar
My current list of gear to buy is at around 800 eur
Spes regular 350n jacket
good for you, but maybe this isnt the chat for that
also isnt that not enough "n"
depends what weapon, you can't grab enemy swords but you can grab spear handles, you can't grab blades, but you can grab any enemy weapon when the enemy drops it
oh and you can grab axe handles even when the enemy is holding it
That would be a really risky strategy
only really useful when ur knocked down and you don't want the enemy to kill you with a COD finisher
I was literally asked. And according to my club members 350N is more than enough for anything besides greatsword
So it is possible to beat bare handed someone with an axe
i redid my macuahuitl
only if you get a few good punches in and when you get knocked down use the technique i told you
If you get good at timing is actually easy
But
Now I know I can just grab the axe
timing gets WAY too easy with the slow mo feature
it's not like you can rip the axe out of enemy hands, you'll just stop yourself from dying
Just holding it on right hand and targeting the face with left hand
According to people at my club it is plenty. 800N is heavier, warmer and more restrictive while only being needed for the heaviest of weapons like greatswords
Ok, ok
right hand is better for punches, it's a glitch that willie's right hand is stronger than his left
Wasnt it the left one?
left's good for grappling
Ur was it just easier to land good strikes with it
it's easier to land strikes with left due to the way the enemy holds weapons, but right hits harder and faster, and left can hold onto enemies easier for some reason
What in gods name
What object is that
mod
i have a theory that when willies give up in a battle the soul of the willie gets transferred into another, and the abyss is where they go when they die before they get a chance to give up
And when they die in the abyss?
the vicious cycle of willies slapping willies slapping willies
they just die
Will the full release have lore?
it already has lore, look up XV century history
But like of why are we on the arena or something
paper is writing an essay
i mean look at when you kill a willie in the abyss, their willie flesh peels off and they fall into the floor
ever heard of a gladiating match?
Yeah
Head cannon maxing
Still there are like three reasons to join one
a macuahuitl
my headcannon is that willies were made with magic
for the specific purpose of fighting
How
Aztec pilled?
Free CTE giveaway 😃
a what
To thin to be one
It's over
How
aztec soldier
also guys wickedwiz just uploaded a day ago
CRO I LITERALLY ASKED "AZTEC PILLED?" AND YOU GAVE ME THE CONFUSED SHOULDER
Pay no mind
gro*
gro
wdym by aztec pillerd
I just cracked back really goodly
Someone culturally enrich this guy
i hate when people talk down on flinging your weapon around like a madman like its not genuinely a good strat sometimes
It means "Aztec themed?"
yes
it is
though the weight may be innacurate
That wasn't so hard now was it
its blade
Vro do you not know what the weapon is
Im mexican
its the closest thing to one in half sword
ah good to know
Its thicker and bigger than that
i cant get it thicker
Ok
You sure can big guy
only if you scale the blade up
but you cant scale the wood part up
resize components (not including the handle)
change components
recolor
Is there any way to play with the old demo version?
I did but i was talking about the abyss mode old demo
I know
What?
Bro is from the future
Fr
do metal gloves increase the effect of your punches?
like if im in spoilance
and pick up gloves
does that make my punches hurt more
Yes
yeah i'm pretty sure they do at least
You also dont get damage to your hands while punching
only if it's the metal gloves
Are there any other gloves?
i think leather gloves but they're really rare
screenshot it if you find them
Never seen them
i said they're rare
the texture for them is a little glitched tho it's like the fingers are fused together
cool
i don't think, it's been like 5 months since i last saw it and that was in the playtest, frank might have removed them
they must've been then
I spawned as 3rd boss lol.
spawned big bro.
which mod is this?
is what
the mod in the clip, the one that makes you taller?
half sword enhancer mod
did this mf just auto parry me
Why does my character start to die of exhausting after running for less then 1 second
conserve your stamina
don't swing like your mike tyson, willie has the collective stamina of Mc tyson
Fr?
fr
Match just started and i held shift for half a second and my shit acts like it ran for 6 hours without pause
Goated
try pausing the game literally the millisecond the round starts, you'll get a surprise if you do it right
3rd boss has so much aura for no reason 😭
Until you wipe the floor with his guts
wait how tf you already have level 3, you just joined
it normally takes like a month to get level 3
not really
No life + a tasteful amount of rage bait
man, I just cut someone into 3 pieces with one swing.
usin mods is so fun ;-;, this guy just thrown me
Did he consent
uhhhhhh, technically yes.
He joined the halfsword to fight me.
The what?
🙂
Don't 🙂 me I have trauma
🙃
rah
how tf do i stop the game from randomly crashing on baron level?
turn down blood
anyways
bruh
this Willie NPC just did the greatest tactic I've seen to take down a giant. He cut down my legs and then make me fall, he places the blade at the exact place where my neck would fall 😭
why is this WIllie a genius
ur best bet is lowest graphics, lowest resolution, lowest gore, lowest blood, lowest everything, no vsync, no graphics enhancing mods.
how am I alive?
Carrying an ally out of battle
me when im playing ultimate challenge and i finally get some kills (im unaware that im about to sent an auto loss in the form of two ultraspikeys when the best ive got is a tiny falchion)
i am getting fatal eror when i play ultimate challenge
turn down blod
Unrelated to the current conversation: Ngl only reason why im affraid of ai is because it might wipe us all out before we can play half sword full release for minimum 150 hours 😭
it will just take our jobs and humans will be fat and useless like on the pixar film "WALL-e" that is the most likely scenario
True but will probably execute us when we dont train it on more data 😭
Do I have something in my teeth?
nah
never anything that forward
Did your dentist pay you?
anyone remember the huge asteroid that was for certain going to annilate us all like 3-4 months ago? crazy how it didnt happen and was just fear mongering lol
THE GAME SPAWNED TWO OF THEM
nvm.
bro the commoner final boss is impossible to defeat
Use peasant with pitchfork
Did anyone else noticed if u played with the Baron and did a team 3v3 at the very first second of the battle your allies will fight against u aswell as the enemies ?
I wonder why abyss and normal duels have different songs, kinda fitting different vibes yes?
Where yo clothes at
Wrong
They are struggling to recognize your heraldry
Im concerned it'll play half sword and the machines will just start facerolling us with literally any object to hand, stop signs, bar stools, other people's limbs etc. Im playing half sword so I can survive at least three robots. Im doing my part.
why is the hoe so counterable
how is that possible if im playing as commoner
are you playing free or challenge?
challenge
I pulled his head off but his face got stuck to his helmet
well thats helpful lmao, thanks
np lol
you can't say 2 of those words in the same sentence like this, that's not fair
the game really doesn't like when you spin people around
On the floor
is there a „correct” pronounciation of „falchion”? ive seen people say it like fal-sheon and ive seen others call it a fal-kion
yeah you say it like this
FALCON PUNCH
crazy that falcon is just a character from a game about scifi racing
we need Willie to be on smash fr
foul-shyun
as long as the ch doesnt sound like a k I think you're good
thank you
ouch
just spent like 5000 years trying to beat boss 3 and i finally killed him with a stab to the chest and then his sword slightly rubs against my shoulder as he slowly falls and just instantly kills me 😭
so real
i feel like a poke kills me and i got to quarter the enemy or them to die
true sometimes youll cut a guys hand or foot off and you've messed their arm up so bad they cant even hold anything and they still want the smoke and then you get clipped in the ankle with the spikey stick and u instantly die
how slow is willies reaction time bruh
he got that willydrenaline in his system
willies offering themselves as target practice
You’re good at using the sword lmao
How do you stab like that?
double click
Left click?
you hold click
and you hold alt
then you can go left or right to change the stabbing stance and forward to stab and back to retract
Or right and left?
bro i just grabbed a thing in abyss and got flung 300 m
you can double click y'know? or is alt more precise?
alt is more precise
try it
for me at least
Left or right click?
damn.. the exit from the abyss requires a 301m launch 
So what do you mean when you said left and right, forward and backwards?
Just moving direction?
yes
Ah cool, thanks man
wholl win
how the phuck do you reverse grip?
mod
it was worse before it got nerfed to hell
How the hell do I not fatal error on the ultimate challenge

the final boss isn't the baron it's doing it fast enough that your game doesnt crash
Seems like it lol
confirmation that willie is a parasitic entity controlling a husk
holy shit that 3rd boss is annoying
i just slashed his stomach open and he just killed me anyway
after the 3rd boss all the other bosses taper off they're all way easier
commoner boss def harder than all the others
cap
sorry that's not cap that's true
got my tiers mixed up
if you want an easy way to win use peasant pitchfork the tier
I cuted off both willie's hands
you outrange him and you can just poke him and kill him
Project WILLIE
I usually just half sword and start swangin wildy and hope to get lucky
Just die dude 😭
Worm Internal Life Licker Entity
Hello, is there a way to reset my progress? I don't like running the gauntlet
abyss your char
So just for know, which faction is your favorite
From the menu? Tried that, and it didnt work
take less damage
Doesn't work in game either
Hmm I guess I've never tried it after hitting ultimate challenge
Why is soldier rank boss don't wear a helmet
k thanks
still crazy cuz in some other games i have more fps on dx12 hll for example im having 80fps more
it really just depends
Could maybe try re-installing.
Didn't work
Here
Thank you
Ha-ha I knocked opponent out with a shield butt
Well I endured wille, he layed on the ground, surrendered and... somehow died with lot of blood out of his neck
Never back down never what?
"Look at you! Just a two legs"
We dun did it lads
How do I get off the ground in the abyss, the willie won't get tf up.
is willie humping the ground
No, hes on his back
hold w
I've been doing that
have u tried kicking and pressing both mouse buttons and then getting up
or multiple movement keys at once
Yeah, he just gets stuck in some strange pose, laying on his back with one hand on the ground slightly propped up, the other infront of him.
have u tried looking down at the ground when he does that and then trying to get up
It is a pretty good screenshot, someone should throw a star his way to get the 20 needed for starboard
Looking down did not fix it either
LETS FUCKING GOOO
Where can I find ingame screenshots?
Well I lost my gauntlet at veteran rank just because willie was more lucky and successfully sliced my armored neck
It's sad
clean stab
Nice
this one is better
Reminder; you can use swords as blunt weapons at knight tier
Halfswording and hitting with the pommel works pretty good for this
is it possible to get a willie 3d model?
Maces should do more damage against plate armor. it feels like to me...
maces already do a shit ton of damage to plate
Doesnt seem like it to me. At least the little one handed one. I'm bashing on this guy forever, and nothing
Since Steam is coming to XBOX
Which mod?
do you guys think we'll be able to play half sword?
full release?
Likely
does he know
It won't be optimal for console, but the controls are there.
only missing some menu controls
Hello
didnt thought of that
helo
maybe, probably filtered.
like day one
hello guys
hello
Hello 👋
Idk levels probably
did you already
it shows he has no brain
They used to do a lot more in abyss update. Especially warhammers. You could actually do damage to the willie beneath armor with a hard enough hit.
you still can
No it is physically impossible to beat the baron on my 8 year old laptop
It can only handle duels
I miss scull crushing
It's way less
Me too I remember the old demo it was so brutal
not even with the lowest graphic settings, gore and blood deactivated?
I don’t think so
It crashes
I mean I have 4 gigs of ram
blood causes isues
Vram or system ram?
i hope they make hooks behave like hooks on this game
it would be so fun to hook an enemy towards you
I have no idea I just spawned into life and it was there as long as I remember
I only know ram
Random access memory
have you tried the scythe
on the clothes?
4gb of system ram I am surprised you can run anything tbh
How are you getting those clean swings? Is your sensitivity way up?
Even browsers nowadays can eat that up in a heartbeat
And the operating system uses like 2 gb passively
Yeah 4gb ram, i5 6200U, Intel integrated graphics
Pretty old
and i'm at 2100 DPI
I too was surprised
The first time I ran the game I waited half an hour
But now it is way quicker at loading
Idk how
the update
Damn
Oh
was supposed to fix issues
im at 2700 DPI
Really nice work
I think it's the other way around
precision practice on Freemode matters the most
tru
I'm struggling on learning how to parry with a knife because it's impossible to get a good weapon at this point in baron
Which mod is it that lets you reverse grip?
it may not seem like it but a Billhook is stuck between my thighs
my mod
I think im getting the hang of it.
When you are using mace & shield, are you always holding down both buttons to swing? (Guard up + mace swing?) or do you stop holding your shield hand when you swing?
comingh out one day
once you get gud, cranking up the sensitivity gives you faster strikes
name of the future mod?
Say, where did you learn how to mod In half sword anyways?
chrome334s weapon pack 2 probably
also why does changing resolution not do anything in this game
bitter relative taught me
find it weird
pc screen reso
oh what about on medium settings too it doesn't fix the render quality
also poleaxe gameplay
how do i consistently take down really armoured targets?
aim for the head
Smack them in the head with blunt weapon a few times
Boinking the hell out of their head
Gotta practice, Changing mouse settings can help too
Until you get good aim
muh fuckin poleaxe
What is your cup of tea?
Are you into blunt force weapons or swords
I usually go for lighter 2h swords/bastard swords. I don't like blunt much since the changes after this latest update. Commoner or Militia tiers are the most fun imo.
Me too, I love commoner so much I have been practicing my swordsmanship
what is the best weapon for breaking bones
I like the sword in the ovrdth selection mod Tier 7 old look , Large LS NG
Hmm
I haven't tried any mods out yet. But they're starting to look pretty tempting.
We’ll try the ovrdth selection
And install the enhancer mod
You will have fun
I could promise you that
I'll have to give that a go
The enhancer also helps me with training some times
You know like a spotter
I make myself stronger so it could be easier
It is like a drop set
It improved my skill overall
Sometimes you don’t feel like lifting 300lbs, and go for the light weights
And that is ok
Technique matters more
I am missing the body options from older builds like mass. I looked at the enhancer mod once before, def gonna install that one.
Mass?
Like gravity no?
body density, etc, dont exist anymore
Oh
Whatever, the ghost has been pretty consistent
He is adding a lot of new stuff, everyday I open up HS Enhancer it is like “there is a new version” and I love it
Yeah, this
But don’t you like a little class from time to time?
And hate finding your favorite weapon by clicking over and over again?
I just never looked at it before. Does it let you pick armor too?
In the future will there be a group therapy mode where instead of fighting naked willies will hug and call each other hedgeborn instead of scoundrel?
In a separate universe yes
Not this one
The enhancer let’s you spawn items and armor and props
So you can gear up and press t to save your outfit for the next fight

And the ovrdth selector saves your current load out that you took some time to make so you can double press on it and have it instantly after getting in the game
Alright see you later willies
👋
Any suggestions for third champion ?
Keep dieing to him
I tried to block his attack but instantly broke my arm
Can’t even beat the second one
I won and got the new rank and it was going to menu back... BUT NO! Next thing i see... I am in abyss...
Skill issue
Then tell me how to do it
PRO
I was talking to the person who got sent to abyss after winning
Make sense then
The third champion is most easily dealt with a pitchfork.
You can click on previous ranks and randomize gear to use in upper ranks
Dont mind me bro just pissed off because of this
Mod a ak-47 into your game
and kill the 3rd champion

Bro I haven’t played in a while but why is fist play just an absolute brawl now 
My Willy can’t raise his hands above his shoulders
i got willy naked bug
how do you get golden knight?
his muscles are too big now
win the gauntlet
then the ultimate challenge
step 1: find pitchfork
step 2: find plancon
step 3: kill baron by instantly snapping his neck
eh hell live
you may think you're joking but I've once cut a willies leg and arm off and he didnt surrender

or when you break their bones they still wont give up, just gonna scream in place
plancon?
spikey stick
ah
the ai keeps tiring me out
and my guy then becomes a bumbling idoit who cant stand
Have there been any updates on how the optimization for Half Sword is going? My only concern is with how good these models look that the game won't be able to run on anything that isn't high end
I imagine it'll be optimized but I just hope it's when it releases for EA and not later
Bro i tried that pitchfork and i get straight to way to abyss.
its uh
certainly going
(still no armor reflection disable option)
My GTX 1060 in cinematic mode
Live footage of the EA build
willie just gave me some brutal backshots
@mighty nexus
Oh well guess thats a thing now
The stabbing is not working bruh
bro this ultimate challenge is gonna make me cry
it's really not that bad og
just stab him at the right time and control your distance
pitchfork gives you that additional reach that you much need against the big dude and his oversized sword
go for quick jabs and if the pitchfork bites, then drive it in further and end him
why is the ultimate challenge so goddam hard- are the npcs better?! them boys do not miss
it wouldnt be the ultimate challenge if it was easy now would it
on crip
no i know but im more concerned about their behaviour
how the f am i supposed to beat two mfs with spiky poles????????
like those guys are doing shit the npcs could only dream off before
i dunno i generally have an easy time on it so i have to up the difficulty
waiting till im in range to swing?!
what is this
no hesitation on thrusts
actively using a shield
i cant duel these guys like i could everyone else before
for the enemies that wait till ur in range to swing
bait out their swing so when they miss you can freely hit
with thrusing enemies swaying from side to side generally helps
yah but sometimes man
for shield guys they cant really guard their legs so go for those
all im saying that i swear to god those npcs are far more ruthless that the ones prior
the ai is different or summing
i dunno man all my npc's are always locked in but ive just learned how to exploit their weaknesses
i dunno maybe im just used to being on an even playing ground with same equipment
I'd need to commit to playing UC for extended periods to actually test, but I wouldn't be surprised if their AI is smarter on average.
AI and skill level is usually randomized in normal rounds
You might be facing much more high skill and aggressive AI types as part of the challenge.
But I'd need to test it, or beg the devs to confirm
oh wait the ai is randomized? i never knew ngl, thats really cool to know
https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kqQyP76LUdQrtTd32?invite=cr-MSxRZXMsMjg3NjQ4MDQ5 also i stabbed bro way too hard
Watch Half Sword and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
I feel this sometimes bro. The AI sometimes I swear just mfin
well the VA said it was randomized so i assume its true
go peasant
and pick pitchfork
you will outrange the greatsword
I heard it from a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy.
It becomes much more obvious that every willie you fight is different when you can consistently win.
Because some are easier to win against than others, even when the same weapons are involved.
i just felt like sometimes theyd swing earlier and stuff, but i assumed that was just due to every match being different in miniscule ways that the ai had to adapt to
My favorite example of randomized AI are the ones that are clearly defensive and hesitate, creates some cool stand offs at the start of clips.
yeah ive dealt with both passive and really aggresive ai's, still i never assumed they were actually randomized thats cool to know
passive ai's are scarier tho frfr
this game has interesting censorships
forbidden love
why people have to sexualize everything
You can never know how good they are with the weapon until they attack, or you try to attack them.
And if they are better than you, it's too late by the time you find out unless you were really careful
is kissing sexual
Because it's awesome
Only when willies do it.
Smh.
Double standards
Depends how
cant even kiss a willie without being sexual bruh
frrr
thats why this generation is doomed and the world itself how it looks now because of them
Oh, you appear to be one of those people.
You done yapping, old man?
Get back into the ash urn
Watch Half Sword and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
he was a bit dramatic ngl
i did NOT hit him that hard
why you move like a bug
i was trying to find a gif of a spider fighting and realised i have terrible arachnophobia
how mod the game
use nexusmods
then?\
Then read bro
where read
no need when you have fence combos
Then follow the steps the mod tells you to do
It tells you how to install the mod
In the mod description
1% attack 99% accuracy combo
Way more easier to just use ur right hand to the face twice
Easy win
i never heard no bell
The only bell is ur mind telling u to kill, make blood spill, and make them scream...
Fake and false 💔
Why bro is black
How do you dodge?
no one was gonna tell me that jerma played the game?
how do i fix ovrdth not saving my loadout that i spawn from hsenhancer
no one was gonna tell me that [Popular Content Creator] played the game???????
seeing content creators play half sword and suck at it is very important for my self esteem
me when I miss my billhook swing and I get my throat slit
miss billhook swing
don't return to neutral before they can close the distance
entirely your fault
Me when I play dozens of games a week and am not immediately good at a high skill ceiling one
yep, you get it
me on nightreign day 1
its just movement nothing special
alr got all but 2 achievements for it 😔
Hold shift and pick a direction
its dangerous to have a head around me
What about your own
holy shit im so scared guys
games paused rn i haven't gotten this far in a while cause the game kept crashing over and over
any advice?
i am however using a longsword with a big shield is this good or only stick to the sword
beautiful young man
help pls i need pro advice
swing and hope for the best
and get one of their halberds
get them all on one side, switch your shield to that side, cover your neck with it.
then close the distance and swipe at them
its hard to swing with a long sword when i only have one arm
and im scared to lose the shield
they switch sides now like strategically
try to get the guy with the least amount of armor
like, they're trying to surround you?
you could keep trying to outmaneuver them
I GOT HIM
yeah im just outmaneuvering
nice
i sliced his leg though almost got his halberd
nice, yeah, legs are easy targets
he has only a spear though
one of them has full armor though
i disarmed one of them
spear still a bit better against armor than a longsword if you don't want a lot of risk
sounds like you figured it out though
yeah the one with the armor is protecting the guy with a broken arm
little hard to get an opening
HOLY SHIT HE DROPPED A POLE ARM IM SO CLOSE
3v1 oh shit
what do i call this submission hold
IM WINNING FINALLY AFTER SO MANY FUCKING HOURS I LOVE YOU
Does anyone else have repeated memory allocation crashes?
I cant leave abyss without crash
Res and settings are all minimum and this PC runs RUST at max settings
their health is too high i made them both bleed in the head and they keep getting up
is it normal that my boss just stubbed his toe on the knife and died lmao
lol i turned his ribs into paste
this game is pure anxiety
just wait until the final guy
cant they all go at the same time
i got disarmed immediately and my leg is broken
and none of the previous enemies dropped their armor which was better than mines
idk what to do
i literally have probably died and crashed my game like 400 times
I beat the ultimate challenge by using a shield,vaguely trying to defend myself and just wildly swinging
got the polearm back
its pure rng
hold g
so fast his head cant track me
i got the polearm back at least
no.
yes
Anime moment
MY GAME CRASHED WHEN I WAS DOWN TO THE LAST GUY
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
THE GAME ONLY CRASHES WHEN I WIN
Ultimate Challenge?
I KILLED THEM ALL AND CRASHED
literally i was right about to get to baron
but my game crashed
because life doesnt like me
its like the game wants me to think i am winning
The fatal crashes in the Ultimate challenge are primarily due to an issue with a 3rd party plugin that is being used for blood.
For most users disabling blood using the blood slider in the gore options resolves this issue.
We are working on a more permanent solution.
psychological torture
thank you
ive been on this for like a week btw
That is not intended.
on the ultimate challenge
ive been mostly playing cyberpunk and helldivers but thats why ive taken so long
mostly crashes
yeah im gonna play elden ring to relax after this lmao im not hating on the game you guys are doing great
im getting way farther because of this thank u so much man
well then...
he looks a bit unhealthy
"a bit"
ye
anyone know how to swing farther with the sickle or knife
isnt that kind of situational?
if im not mistaken getting hit on the head reduces your stamina
How To play online against others?
makes sense
Glad to hear it!
does the game get updates in this current state? game feels... different since I last played. About a week or so ago last
the AI is still not to be underestimated
fucking hate when enemies just spam overhead hits and knock me out
and when they take 30 slashes with an axe to kill
and i take 1 to die
Oh, thanks. For some reason it didn't light up for me so I assumed nothing changed
just parry, or hit their head first, or dodge
good question
what?
One hand it and turn using a d during the swing and you can get a lil bit more from the rotation, but honestly just walk up and stab them in the heart
yo we should be able to control arm length with mouse wheel
