JUST TO GIVE UP

[grizzled ridge]

[zenith atlas]

[grizzled ridge]

i just cant stop playing this game

[zenith atlas]

cool

[zenith atlas]

oliviara tryna grapple with ilia

[digital jackal]

are you recording the entire time while playing or are you taking clips

[jolly gorge]

taking clips i dont have editing software

[digital jackal]

what are you using to take clips cuz i gotta edit mine

because when i take the clip or record half of the screen is black and the game is in the corner

[jolly gorge]

xbox game bar

[zenith atlas]

just use windows + shift + s

or geforce overlay

[digital jackal]

isnt that

the screen shot button

[zenith atlas]

oh shit

prolly

😭

[digital jackal]

do you have to crop it? or does it come out full screen

[lime perch]

Just use shadowplay dude, much easier

alt + f10, saves the last 3 minutes of gameplay

You have to activate it though

[naive holly]

With gamebar do alt+win+g to record the last 30 seconds

I usually move it to Google drive and cut with my phone

[zenith atlas]

loves stabbing

uk?

[naive holly]

I do

Naur

[zenith atlas]

supprising

[zenith atlas]

thats not stabbing

🤓

[digital jackal]

i am NEVER putting the game in fullscreen

[zenith atlas]

thats akthully slicing

[digital jackal]

switching tabs makes the game kill its self

[digital jackal]

like holy shit

i coudlnt evne close the game

[naive holly]

Ye play in borderless

[digital jackal]

should i donwload the trainer mod

[zenith atlas]

what do you use to stab

holy

[naive holly]

Alt

[digital jackal]

hold alt

and move ur mouse up and down

[zenith atlas]

alr

[digital jackal]

how do u have over 300h on this

[digital jackal]

i dont belive you have 300h on the game and you dont know how to stab

im not trying to be rude sorry

[zenith atlas]

uh

i dont stab

i use beggar

[jolly gorge]

so do i but ik how to stab

[zenith atlas]

yh but im slow

[lime perch]

reclaimer and clueless are crazy good at half sword

[queen lagoon]

what the hell is going on with the walking physics? every time I get into the centre of the arena, my leg spazzes out and willie just drops to the floor, even the enemies.

[digital jackal]

@jolly gorge have you used the trainer mod yet?

[lime perch]

Probably stepping on something

[jolly gorge]

i dont mod

[queen lagoon]

nope

[digital jackal]

ooo

[queen lagoon]

nothing on the floor,

new match

new everything

refreshed the game

and still does it

[lime perch]

I've found that raising my sword whilst side stepping causes my legs to go limp

[digital jackal]

uhm

[lime perch]

If I'm holding for example d+s

or w+s

[jolly gorge]

my sensitivity was too high at the start

[hearty carbon]

my enhancer keeps crashing

[dire moon]

How's it today

[zenith atlas]

BACK

[dapper grove]

bro i was all exited for half sword multiplayer (which may or may not come out) but seeing yall do kung fu and stuff made me change my mind

[barren sable]

re download it

[hearty carbon]

kk

[zenith atlas]

what one u use

[hearty carbon]

wym?

[lime perch]

same bro I'm not doing that

it's like playing mordhau multiplayer

[dapper grove]

lol took me a sec to see it

[zenith atlas]

what enhancer do u use

[north dawn]

guy really put all those jawline workouts to use

[zenith atlas]

yo what 😭

[zenith atlas]

towel method

on steroids

[north dawn]

bro cut my arm into 3 pieces while my machete is lodged inside his face

[dapper grove]

damn

[zenith atlas]

💀

[hearty carbon]

the most recent one?

i just had to re download it

[lime perch]

does anybody else's willies immediately surrender when doing the 4v1 mode?

[hearty carbon]

its fine now

[dapper grove]

bro i have longed weopons in the bosses so many times just for them to take it out of there leg to kill me with it

[zenith atlas]

yh

[jolly gorge]

consider the following

he died

[zenith atlas]

💔

[lime perch]

This might just be me, but I wish abyss only started after commoner

[north dawn]

pick up a weapon and bash some dorks heads in. the axeman boss aint that deep

candlestick > impale male > proceed

[lime perch]

It just takes way too long to wait for the enemies to spawn

[north dawn]

cool, go find clothes

[jolly gorge]

run forward

[lime perch]

My point it, it would almost be quicker to just re do the levels to get back to peasant

[north dawn]

ok, so off your willie if you go to the abyss

[lime perch]

I just insta quit lmao

[north dawn]

or does that take too long too?

[lime perch]

No need to be a dick about it 🙂

[north dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-gif-22008330

[naive holly]

I guess so, I feel like it's well paced in the beginning and then ramps up uncomfortably quick.

Hard to get suited up in time to deal with three T7 guys when im only past the T4 boss.

[zenith atlas]

lol

[lime perch]

I was on millitia abyss and it instantly gave me a shield guy and a pitchfork guy before I was even dressed

[shell bronze]

abyss can either be a nightmare or you get a plancon/voulge and win

[north dawn]

Plancon is guaranteed from one of the bosses

[naive holly]

Billhook head bonks goated

[naive holly]

Its huge and heavy and cumbersome tho I prefer normal sized

No size queen here

[north dawn]

the warcrime stick is the apex of all weapons

[lime perch]

I prefer the small ones aswell bro

[north dawn]

it is lethal at all ranges, and the mortality rate is often more than 100%

you kill the opponent, yourself and someone who happened to be watching

[naive holly]

Chat how cooked am I

[lime perch]

Like a brisket in America on the 4th of July

[shell bronze]

if enemy willie uses plancon properly

there's really no clean/proper way of fighting it

[naive holly]

(He wont) tho

[shell bronze]

you're kind of just gonna get nicked one way or another trying to get to him without a polearm of your own

[zenith atlas]

what faction should i pick

[shell bronze]

thankfully ai willie is very dumb and leaves plenty of openings

[naive holly]

The two plançon experiences

Either the most pitiful easy whiff punish or, well..

[zenith atlas]

what

faction

?

[lime perch]

You've got to keep the hat on at all times 😆

[naive holly]

But like for real, cmon

[north dawn]

see your mistake there in the 2nd clip is that you didnt equip the murder-stick yourself

[naive holly]

Always Indiana Jones it

[shell bronze]

faster dodging

[naive holly]

Slept on. If you swing the mouse while you move backwards you like, Tokyo drift its crazy

[lime perch]

I do that when I want to do a drive by. I back off, quickly turn to the side and swipe the legs 😆

[dapper grove]

bro im so glad when you die to the bosses and you kill them at the same time then do the abys thing then you move up a level

[shell bronze]

leg swiping is a sport in soldier/veteran

[lime perch]

I love leg swiping dude it's so good

[shell bronze]

axe guy wants to half sword you? crouch and cut his left leg off

[lime perch]

I just love crunching knees with a mace

[north dawn]

backwards knees make the happy-chemicals

[lime perch]

Making chairs out of enemies

[north dawn]

folding ones

[shell bronze]

one of the greatest sports of all time

[lime perch]

I'm not that good yet. I'm more of a black caddilac going past you

[shell bronze]

why did it send twice

wthelly

[random cobalt]

18 seconds

[lime perch]

@ivory hamlet I'm on commoner again, what would you say is the best weapon to go with? Longsword or?

[zenith atlas]

longsword

[naive holly]

Yeah longsword is def safest. I personally think the dagger fucks on its own but its risky

[lime perch]

Yeah I'm struggling against the commoner boss. I've gotten past him but that was solely cos I accidentaly slit his throat

[naive holly]

Hes very doable but definitely a skill check

[lime perch]

Yeah he definitely has you practicing the earlier stages

[naive holly]

Epitome of whiff punish tho. Be patient, dance in and out to bait his swing, when youre sure you have an opening then send it, but dont miss because he recovers quick.

If you miss ya dead

OR throw caution to the wind and glass cannon his ass

[lime perch]

Yeah I've learnt that he does a double swing and then stop, but by the time I swing during recovery, he has resumed that same process

[exotic plinth]

The fight of ALL time

[naive holly]

Me looking at your screenshot:

[zenith atlas]

Brutality

ahh ss

[naive holly]

On the flip side

[lime perch]

It's never a bad time to eat ass

[exotic plinth]

I WON

[lime perch]

That weapon is sponsored by F1 😆

I've just hit the funniest shot and my shadowplay isn't working,.....

[digital jackal]

Hm

[digital jackal]

His helmet must be really dusty

[lime perch]

Bro's got soup in his helmet

is it just me or is the stick with spikes the best weapon ever? is it a polearm?

Guys, any advice for soldier loadout?

@ivory hamlet @naive holly

[mint wadi]

Drastic times call for drastic measures.

[lime perch]

bro hit a fkn pop shuvit 360

[exotic plinth]

baron ain't safe either

[naive holly]

Plançon á picot. Its quite good. It is a polearm technically. It finds gaps in armor, bludgeons, and impales. Can be hard to get through gambesons but it just takes a couple swings.

It also has a spearhead.

For T5 your best bet is definitely billhook or voulge, I think it has both.

[lime perch]

this thing?

[lime perch]

You've got the funniest pictures dude

[naive holly]

Thats the plançon yeah

[lime perch]

Ahh yes, the planque pointy stick

[naive holly]

Billhook is suuuper long with a little hooked knife on the end.

Voulge is medium length with a large triangular looking blade on it, similar to a halberd

[lime perch]

Oh does the voulge look like a super long spear?

[naive holly]

Ill show ye

[mint wadi]

[naive holly]

Billhook

[lime perch]

ohhhh right

I've only used that once in abyss I think

I love the pointy stick

thanks broski

[naive holly]

Yehyeh

Range is always saftey

[cinder laurel]

why cant i play in the normal mode? i can only access the abyss

[austere crest]

Cultivating the immortal dao is in step with the sovereign way

[lime perch]

How I play 99% of the time with this thing

[mint wadi]

I...casted a spell/dropped a bomb

[oak surge]

idk how France didn’t take over the world with that weapon

[mint wadi]

I believe uh

france kept taking itself over

Anyways more cool clips.

[lime perch]

3rd fatal error of the night

Right I'm panicking cos I've just got to man at arms. Loadout anyone?

[digital jackal]

I just punch

[lime perch]

this any good for man at arms?

[digital jackal]

Wait what level 2 gives img perms?

since when

Welp now I can send my edits

[lime perch]

No clue brother, I've just found out but I do suppose that being an eager beaver could land you in trouble

[zenith atlas]

wsp

[digital jackal]

Yo

[zenith atlas]

lvl 2

cold

[digital jackal]

Isn’t it the best when my weapon flies out my hand

[zenith atlas]

yo

😭

[zenith atlas]

ithow u lvl 2

but im lvl 1

and i got more messages

🤔

[digital jackal]

🤷

[mint wadi]

All will be bonked eventually

[mint wadi]

you only get 1 point per message every 60 seconds.

So 3 messages in 60 seconds is still 1 point

[digital jackal]

that’s one way to prevent spammers

[silk aspen]

i hope they will bring back the sandbox mode from itch.io version

[zenith atlas]

w

alr

[digital jackal]

how does one hit kill him..

all you did was hit his chin

[zenith atlas]

blunt for armour is the best

cl

[digital jackal]

Teach me your ways all that happens for me is my weapon flies out my hand

[zenith atlas]

wait for him to get in a got position

then smack him

or just use your fists and turn into prime khabib

[mint wadi]

I knocked him out. He got up and was alive. But I won because I knocked him out and could've killed him while he was down.

[zenith atlas]

yo thats not how use use full stops

.

[silk aspen]

they should update the fist fights

[zenith atlas]

its fine

rn

just slam em to the floor

and turn into khabib

[silk aspen]

i mean it should be more realistic

bruise system

[zenith atlas]

it kinda is

they should update where it hurts more

bcz a punch to the liver dont hurt ingame

but irl it hurts like shit

[mint wadi]

Also switching hands with a polearm gives you momentum to carry over if you do it right.

[silk aspen]

yeah

[zenith atlas]

dayum

[amber vessel]

Hit him harder

[zenith atlas]

ion think u can go harder then that

💀

[digital jackal]

besides the 80 gallons of blood that comes out after one tiny hit yeah

[zenith atlas]

.

bit more then 80 gallons bud

[mint wadi]

I mean, the amount of blood that comes out depends on your settings.

And it's entirely realistic on mid settings tbh

[zenith atlas]

bro istg that grousume and groutesqe are the exact same thing

[digital jackal]

on the mid setting can you still have all the gore but it’s just less blood

like chopping off limbs

[zenith atlas]

thats the fun bit

[mint wadi]

Gore on mid setting is harder to do.

[digital jackal]

[mint wadi]

If you don't tweak it.

It's harder to cut limbs off, break joints, etc.

[zenith atlas]

mid and high are the exact same thing

[mint wadi]

It...it's not..

[zenith atlas]

it is

exept from the limbs

thats all

[lime perch]

mid doesn't decapitate

[mint wadi]

It's literally not.

[zenith atlas]

yo

playing w it

its the exact same thing

[mint wadi]

ok buddy

[gilded breach]

it aint

grotesque makes dismemberment way easier

[lime perch]

javen rage baiting

[zenith atlas]

it feels like it is

[mint wadi]

Yes this is bait

I have like 300 hours in the game. Probably more.

[zenith atlas]

i said thats the only diffrence

[zenith atlas]

flex or nah?

[digital jackal]

they gotta add a photographer role or smth for ppl who make really good ones

[mint wadi]

Not really a flex tbh considering I have the time to put 300 hours into a medieval sword fighting simulator.

[zenith atlas]

😭

[mint wadi]

More so a "I know from experience there's a large difference between the two" lol

[digital jackal]

Javen said he had 300h on the game but he didn’t know how to stab

[amber vessel]

Hit them hard and they fall over

Its that simple

Enjoy the game

[gilded breach]

tbh i havent played grotesque in a while tho

[mint wadi]

On grotesque you can literally break peoples necks with punches if you hit hard enough right in the neck.

[digital jackal]

Unless I’m tripping

[zenith atlas]

i didnt say that

💀

check my message history

slow mf

[mint wadi]

Here I will play on max damage with grotesque vs gruesome in punching.

[zenith atlas]

idrc what setting

imma still use beggar

😭

[digital jackal]

Wait it was julianrohde

not Javen xd

[sleek gull]

Stab

[zenith atlas]

yo why is there not a vc

[sweet wave]

[zenith atlas]

😭

[mint wadi]

Grotesque fight

[zenith atlas]

cold

[gilded breach]

i aint gonna lie it looks the same as my fist fights on gruesome

[digital jackal]

Why do you say cold instead of cool

..

[gilded breach]

[zenith atlas]

its a habit

uk

[zenith atlas]

ong

[warm escarp]

this is the first time i manage to stab willy through armour

[digital jackal]

Here you go

[zenith atlas]

yo i seen this too much 😭

[lime perch]

I feel like if you don't play grotesque you're a wimp

[gilded breach]

the insta death is very grotesque

[digital jackal]

Yes

[zenith atlas]

acc?

[digital jackal]

What if my pc is really bad

[zenith atlas]

i thought it was light

[gilded breach]

i feel like if you dont play grotesque youre sensible

[north dawn]

willie's got nothing on his chest anymore

[zenith atlas]

fillet samon

fillet willie

smoked salmon

[gilded breach]

if eing a wimp means not losing my leg from a knife graze then hell yea

[warm escarp]

grotesque is the way

[digital jackal]

Are all Willie’s brothers

[mint wadi]

You know what, with fist fights, it's pretty similar.

[zenith atlas]

told u

😭

[gilded breach]

nah some are fathers and sons

[mint wadi]

lemme grab an axe.

[zenith atlas]

oh shit...

wait

try it

[silk aspen]

[digital jackal]

[digital jackal]

no

[gilded breach]

parents to be exact

[zenith atlas]

yo i got level 2

[gilded breach]

willie has no sex

[sleek gull]

No, it is a fungal infestation.

[digital jackal]

[zenith atlas]

no it just means you like realistic fighting or sm

[mint wadi]

downward axe strike on gruesome.

[north dawn]

its like I always say, you either die slowly with several ruptured organs, or instantly die from being stabbed in the shin a little hard

[zenith atlas]

but you hit his hand

😭

[mint wadi]

okay I'll redue it

notice it didn't cut his hand though

[zenith atlas]

w

i can send gifs

[silk aspen]

i am curious when willie will stop being bald

[zenith atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/2-gif-7749019966943875056

[mint wadi]

gruesome

[gilded breach]

willie is biologically incapable of growing hair

[zenith atlas]

up to game creators

ig

[zenith atlas]

yo look at the organs on the floor

😭

[north dawn]

same update that they add a jump button

[zenith atlas]

the only diffrence is that limbs come off

[gilded breach]

theres prolly more blood too no?

[zenith atlas]

eh

[mint wadi]

grotesque

[zenith atlas]

fist fight is the exact same thing

icl

[zenith atlas]

w aim 💔

[silk aspen]

i hope they will bring back the sandbox mode from itch.io version cause it was very fun to play

[zenith atlas]

you didnt swing at him when he was on the floor while you were using grousume smart boy

[north dawn]

just cheat with mods

[mint wadi]

ya the axe was stuck in him.

And wouldn't cut.

[zenith atlas]

yo that was cold

[silk aspen]

its not the same

[north dawn]

I was disarmed by a dude's chin

dude took my weapon away

[mint wadi]

lol

[zenith atlas]

use 2 hands to get it off

[dire moon]

Have I missed anything exciting today

[silk aspen]

half sword mods are on nexusmods?

[north dawn]

its UE5, you can get mods off of any platform where you can publish text

[sleek gull]

A face only a mother could love.

[silk aspen]

okay

[zenith atlas]

when you hit his head b4 you sliced it, it sounded like a basketball 😭

[lime perch]

how is a commoner boss harder than a man at arms boss bro

[zenith atlas]

looks like the gmod horror character model

[sleek gull]

Never seen it, but sounds terrifying

[zenith atlas]

lemme gwt a pic

[neat crow]

tysm. It's confusing because I usually check the control settings to see what I can do in a game, but in half sword the only option is like mouse sensitivity

[lime perch]

Bro if I die at knight now I might just crash out

[digital jackal]

right through the face

[zenith atlas]

the death stick

too op

[vague canyon]

yknow, yall half sword devs could add a night arena map withg torches for lighting for halloween along with a halloween decorated night map

[digital jackal]

i wonder if this is the right clip

[zenith atlas]

Firstly, your mistake is 'threw,' and that is when you 'throw' an object. The correct term you're looking for is 'through.' Secondly, that is his eye.

[lime perch]

[lime perch]

bro fatal error on the last boss

what the fuck

[vague canyon]

hey fellas, im gonna ask a series of random questions in an effort to level up without my spam being too out of topic, i didnt know you had to get roles since i joined in 2024, feel free to answer any if you know

will this game get a replay mode at any point?

what is the end product of this game gonna look like? combat sim? arena only? or maybe a more fleshed out game where the combat was just in playtest? i wouldnt know but id love too

will there ever be a better throwing mechanic, like a "hold shift for throwing stance" or sum

[sleek gull]

I asked about this recently. I was told it was something discussed, but at the bottom of the priority list.

[sleek gull]

Not exactly sure yet. But I believe we will get a much better idea come Early Access in Q4 this year.

[sleek gull]

No idea. But that would be pretty sweet

[neat crow]

why have I gotten "fatal error" crashes 3 times in the past 10 minutes? Is something going on or...?

[lime perch]

Same here man

[digital jackal]

i got no errors

must be on yalls end

[zenith atlas]

wsp

[zenith atlas]

he looks like the guy from half sword

[zenith atlas]

thats for running no?

[vague canyon]

i was just using an example idk a good spot for it

[zenith atlas]

oh

probally

like caps lock

maybe

[vague canyon]

and then like holding alt brings in a back and forth axis, holding the hot key would enable a different axis for throwing, like a chopping potion where you let go mid swing

[zenith atlas]

alt is for stabbing

[lime perch]

The ultimate challenge is ultimate bullshit

[austere salmon]

you're just bad at it

[zenith atlas]

ufc map would be sick

ill turn into an i love you so edit

[sick igloo]

This game pisses me off, a fucking ai just grabs my sheild attched to my arm since my other arm is bad and then beats me

i dident die

but its actualy fucking stupid

[last sun]

you broke his teeth obvs

[dusty iron]

how can i change the size of my half sword photos?

[lime perch]

ok

[zenith atlas]

use a blunt instead

[zenith atlas]

lowk reminds me of holloway vs gaethje

[digital jackal]

right in the throat bro

[lime perch]

omfg I was on the second to last lvl on the last rank and I got fatal error again

shit aint even worth it at this point

[digital jackal]

i havent had one single error bro

[neat crow]

im trying the gauntlet, and I unlocked militia but it's only letting me choose commoner?

[lime perch]

choose faction

the banners on the right

[naive holly]

Fyi, there is a cap on exp gain per minute so spamming does not work for boosting, not that youre doing that, just fyi!

[neat crow]

Oh, ty

[lime perch]

I asked the exact same question not longer than an hour ago 😆

[mental kelp]

fences be damned (and whiffs)

was gonna be such a good clip with that first zwerch

then it went down

[gritty wedge]

i dropped my shield and it went somewhere into the endless abyss and then died because i didnt have a shield 😭

[digital jackal]

how thiCK IS HIS SKULL

[neat crow]

Lol

Im at man-at-arms now

[zenith atlas]

😭

[lofty stag]

"the toothfairy aint real lil bro"

[mint wadi]

the amount of hits this guy took lol

[zenith atlas]

could be because your using a sword on armour

try a blunt

like the hammer

[mint wadi]

THE MUSIC

IT FLOWS THROUGH MY BODY

[zenith atlas]

use his head as a football

[sour veldt]

how do you aim your sword during a thrust?

[short pagoda]

tho i wonder what that kitty did for that adult cat to lit scream at it

[lime perch]

Just have to adjust your mouse very carefully

[sharp basin]

thank you

[short pagoda]

that kitty looks so scared

😭

[neat crow]

i just got a fatal error crash doing the baron level

[lime perch]

I got 3 in a row brother

get used to it

[neat crow]

ugh

[lime perch]

It's annoying when you've got a perfect run and then just fatal error

[neat crow]

Yep

At least the progress isnt lost

Happened a second time

[lime perch]

I honestly thought that I'd lose all my progress cos I died immediately and nearly crashed out bro

[neat crow]

Fr

[mental kelp]

my blade control has faltered so much...trying to practice it back up

[heady shale]

I know that’s not true that’s why you say “public” demo meaning by logic and proxy. There has to be a private demo.

[digital jackal]

Hm

[lofty stag]

why did my willie commit seppuku 😭😭

[elfin abyss]

so he can stab me in the leg and i get one tapped but when i stab him in the leg AND ITS STICKING OUT HE'S FINE?

[zenith atlas]

he had enough

[elfin abyss]

i just stabbed him in the side and he's fine

i just knocked him out because he decided to finally die

and then i die to bullshit

[lofty stag]

I don't think thats your pitchfork...

[gritty wedge]

one time my arm got chopped off by the handle of an axe

[elfin abyss]

not a pitchfork

its the big chop chop stick

[humble pond]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kCsvU61hkjJdHzy-Q?invite=cr-MSxuN2MsMTk2NDk2NjIz

[elfin abyss]

but tis still MINE

[lime perch]

Fatal error again bro what the fuck is happening

[elfin abyss]

turn of gore

and blood

[lofty stag]

valid crashout

[gritty wedge]

you dont have to turn off gore

just blood

[lime perch]

boutta get my own fucking billhook out in a min

[lofty stag]

💀

[elfin abyss]

why are there tier 2's in the tier 3 zone of the abyss

[neat crow]

beat the baron second time fighting him

wow is he a pain

[zenith atlas]

yo

[elfin abyss]

i beat him twice already.. second time with gore

and blood

[mint loom]

Like 8 fps

[sour veldt]

you can't lose your character in the final challenge right?

[lime perch]

nope

but sometimes I wish I did because this shit is 10x harder

[sour veldt]

nope as in you can't?

[lime perch]

No you can die as much as you want

[elfin abyss]

no?

at like 144+

actually like 60+ but still

[mint loom]

How? This games fps gets horrible with more blood/gore

[elfin abyss]

it was one guy

im not that bad at this game

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-burning-hell-pain-gif-17379863

[naive holly]

@mental kelp this is professional level gameplay right... RIGHT?

Always keep em guessing

[mental kelp]

“Finally got me, kid” Willie bot

So flabbergasted

[naive holly]

Sorry for the ping I was just feeling funny lmao

Youre right tho this is a reenactment of your standard anime betrayal scene.

[lime perch]

the final stage is honestly the least fun I've had in this game

[naive holly]

Its less than fantastic. Mad props for getting there so quickly tho

[neat crow]

not as hard as people were making it out to be, at least from what I saw

[lime perch]

Thanks man, means a lot

[naive holly]

Just a laggy mess, once you get a billhook and mace youre golden

[lime perch]

It just feel damn near impossible not to get fucked 3 rounds in

I mean, I'm 3 rounds in, I've got an axe and I'm against 2 spears like how am I going to do that without getting hit

[naive holly]

Well, they have lazer aim so you have to try to shove the spear. Ill try an find an example

Im using a sword but the concept applies. Try to get as close to them as possible. Half sword the woodsman axe.

[mental kelp]

Colpo di Villano

Good for polearmes

[austere salmon]

additionally, when they thrust
take a step to the side, rush in, halfsword, and go for the head and neck

[naive holly]

Yes if you just try to sidestep them theyll kneecap you, what for the whiff ans punish accordingly.

Willies are kinda stupid so whiff punishing is p much the answer to everything if you want ez mode

[analog pelican]

you cant tell me that this isnt annoying

to atleast some degree

[austere salmon]

going in with a one handed axe and a free offhand is a silly way to play

[mental kelp]

He’s Steve so it’s valid

[naive holly]

I love when things have fancier names, and i love it even more when im doing them off intuition lmao

Señor Sworde is the man for technical knowledge

[analog pelican]

"youre probably wondering how i got into this situation-"

[mental kelp]

His leg off but you stabbed

We’ll call it a draw

[balmy warren]

i can't record anymore but how tf do I chop off my opponent's head and he chops of my leg but I die first?

[analog pelican]

is this also a draw?

[mental kelp]

yep I think so. both parties got some hits in but we live on to fight another day

[austere salmon]

hey john longsword, whats your take on bringing a shortsword and using a grappling based strategy

[zenith atlas]

yo

[mental kelp]

I haven't done it much but it would definitely be effective if you can train it to be

Look to Fiore's close plays with a sword in one and two hands for ideas

[analog pelican]

yeah, jerry isnt getting up tho.

i think hes sleepy

[normal urchin]

could be effective against polearms and blunt weapons

against longswords it's probably very risky

[mental kelp]

all tuckered out

[austere salmon]

i definitely wish we had something akin to a dirk or the scottish knife i cant pronounce, an inbetween of daggers and shortswords

[mental kelp]

its like ske-en dew

sgian-dubh

[austere salmon]

yes the skiing dew

not quite as long as this

but not as small as this

[jolly gorge]

uh

[austere salmon]

something in between, like this with a small crossguard

[stiff belfry]

im willing to wager no one can make spears look as cool as i do

[austere salmon]

even in its undirked state, its quite deadly

[balmy warren]

had me in the 1st half not gonna lie. That spin was sick

[austere salmon]

i gotta say, no decapitations, quite lame

[austere salmon]

wrong reply i believe

[balmy warren]

the spin was cool

[austere salmon]

i am not the spinner

that is ESO

im the daggerman

[balmy warren]

i like daggers but there aint no way if actual pvp comes out you can do anything

[austere salmon]

i dont play pvp

[balmy warren]

unless you can foreheard someone with a thrown dagger

[stiff belfry]

spinning parry?

[balmy warren]

hold up lemme find my best spear match I loved it so much

[austere salmon]

i gotta say, the odds were against me

[stiff belfry]

i am the CEO of spinning w this thing

[austere salmon]

never doubt the dagger

[zenith atlas]

yo

[zenith atlas]

wanna play half sword so bad but my family sleeping

[sleek gull]

Head phones?

[zenith atlas]

got em

but i have the most fucking loud keyboard known to man

[sleek gull]

lol

[stiff belfry]

blue switches?

[zenith atlas]

maybe

[zenith atlas]

purple

[shell bronze]

that's ok polearms were never my specialty

i got nk creams on my keyboard and they're chill

[austere salmon]

hey clue, whats your opinion on an in between of shortswords and daggers

something similar to a dirk

[zenith atlas]

my pc is quiet as shit

cant say the same abt my keyboard tho

[neat crow]

Yall do we know anything more than what's said in FAQ about what Half Sword will be in full?

[shell bronze]

idk

sounds like a very good knife to stab with

[austere salmon]

i'd like it as a better tool than the basic dagger we currently have

[shell bronze]

such a brave warrior who never gave up

[finite kayak]

Do yall like extracting jugulars in half sword?

[austere salmon]

i prefer perforating appendices and livers

[finite kayak]

Hmmmm

nice

[shell bronze]

if they drop dead it works for me

as long as i did it with style

[neat crow]

That was a clean parry

[shell bronze]

me when lock on absolutely SABOTAGES me and costs me all of my aura

[finite kayak]

Aw man I cant send my images of the gruesome deaths I give people

in a chat

[neat crow]

How does lock on even work

[finite kayak]

You lock onto people

for PVP

[normal urchin]

just hold left or right click for it to lock on

[neat crow]

ah

it's been bugging me

[finite kayak]

NOOOOO I LOST ALL MY ARUA

[neat crow]

they really gotta add these to the controls menu

[dire moon]

Fuss. Almost done for a 3 day weekend. Pretty pumped

[finite kayak]

BACK AT MY COMMONER RANK

LETS GOOO

the abyss aint got nothin on me

[primal olive]

hello guys

when will half sword be released?

[finite kayak]

its

it is

but its demo

[primal olive]

not the demo

[finite kayak]

O

ion know

[primal olive]

its 2025 but when exactly

[finite kayak]

Ok

ion know

[naive holly]

The game releases in an Early Acess state Q4 of 2025, meaning anywhere between October and December

[dense mantle]

REF DO SOMETHING HOW IS HE STILL COMING AFTER ME

[primal olive]

will there be multiplayer like playing with friends?

[dense mantle]

they see the appeal but not for now

#faq

[naive holly]

Online multiplayer is not currently being developed. They'd love to have it but dont have the capabilities

[primal olive]

even after the release of the game there is no multiplayer?

or u mean for the demo

[dense mantle]

A: We fully understand the appeal of multiplayer and especially PvP. We understand and agree that challenging your friends in duels or group fights could be equally entertaining and hilarious, especially if you are in discord with them as you either behead or disembowel them with a hoe. We fully grasp how we could build an extremely re-playable meta there. However, we also wish to draw your attention to the fact that physics-based multiplayer on Unreal Engine 5 is as hardcore as it gets as far as development: it is no easy task & Half Sword is our first game. We are focusing on single-player physics right now to build a strong experience aimed at offering hundreds if not thousands of hours of fun. This will enable us to build strong foundations and hopefully offer, in a second phase, an equally polished multiplayer experience.
To summarize: do we think about it? Yes, a lot. Do we see the added value? Absolutely. Are we able to offer multiplayer at release: highly unlikely. Will we do our utmost to provide multiplayer after release: more likely.

[naive holly]

Correct. Until the game is completely finished 1000% in its entirety, theyre not working on multiplayer

[naive holly]

There will he local splitscreen but not online

[shell bronze]

average plancon user

[naive holly]

They dont deserve hands

[wet zenith]

can someone help me my half sword isnt working

[finite kayak]

IM BACK AT MILITIA

YESSSSS

[naive holly]

Plancon was a bitch to fight for like 3 days and then instantly became ez money if you just sit there for a second.

[finite kayak]

I CAN USE THE SPIKY SPEAR

[naive holly]

What's the issue

[dense mantle]

you a big stabbing guy?

[shell bronze]

the rest of the game will be very easy

[wet zenith]

im stuck in the gore menu

[naive holly]

Yes sir it pleases me

[naive holly]

@dense mantle

[finite kayak]

Ig brody

this game pmo

[dense mantle]

funfact. wilhelm has roots in his teeth.

[wet zenith]

does anyone know how to install mods

[dense mantle]

fairly straight forward

[wet zenith]

fire fact

[dense mantle]

the places tell you how

[wet zenith]

oh

ty

[dense mantle]

half sword enhancer even has an automatic launcher

[dense mantle]

oh also theres 2 main mod places. nexus and github

[wet zenith]

ok

[dense mantle]

HOLY SHIT TEETH STAB

[finite kayak]

I like the jugular

[dense mantle]

i was afk and the fuckstick charged me

[finite kayak]

Oh go

d

nice

[naive holly]

Go to nexus half sword

Find half sword enhancer and ovrdths loadout selector

Ans anything else you want

The pages have instructions

[shell bronze]

commoner vs the world

[finite kayak]

How you doin that

[neat crow]

Was just about to ask that

[naive holly]

Being good

[dense mantle]

you can play any level with any lower class

[naive holly]

And playing a bunch

[neat crow]

Is that gauntlet

[dense mantle]

likely

[finite kayak]

Ok

[naive holly]

Either that or ovrdths

[neat crow]

?

[naive holly]

Ovrdths loadout selector mod. Let's you save the loadouts you come across and use them in any tier

So you can save a t3 commoner Willie and use him vs t7

[neat crow]

Oh damn, i need that

[naive holly]

Go get it

[naive holly]

Its free

And ez

[wet zenith]

alr

[neat crow]

Is it on steam or?

[naive holly]

Nexus, look at the message static just replied to

[shell bronze]

loadout selector dont work for gauntlet

[naive holly]

I meant either youre in the gauntlet or freemode with ovrdths

[neat crow]

What's half sword enhancer

[naive holly]

Let's you do a bunch of stuff.

[neat crow]

Like?

[shell bronze]

super strength

[naive holly]

Spawn stuff, spawn enemies, change the gravity, super speed, super strength, slow mo, pause time,

Etc

Modifiers

[shell bronze]

it's like the closest we get to sandbox mode

[naive holly]

And you can spawn stuff with enhancer and save it with ovrdths

[neat crow]

Oh sick

[naive holly]

Its how you get custom loadouts

Clips bc I dont have screenshots of my loadouts lol

[wet zenith]

imagine a gun mod

that’d be so cool

[river steppe]

fist fighting beggar boss

[shell bronze]

me when commoner boss

[wet zenith]

this guy is so hard for me🫩

[naive holly]

My brother in fisticuffs

[shell bronze]

time your stab

[naive holly]

Yeeah im at that point with him too. Might take me some footsie-ing around but bro is a pushover

[shell bronze]

grab the knife at the center and london him

commoner vs the world

[undone python]

is there any way to prevent the crashing

[pearl ferry]

sick longsword grapple

[pearl ferry]

not really but if you lower blood it happens less often

[undone python]

thx

[shell bronze]

commoner vs the world

ok time to go back to freemode

[eager iris]

wich one do i instal demo or play test

?

[shell bronze]

demo

[naive holly]

Do you use ovrdths or? Figured you of all people want a consistent sword.

Always got the all red so

Oh yeah you do

Thought you used to have a red hat

[shell bronze]

i mean yeah that's how i fight upstream

[naive holly]

Buts always been white

[shell bronze]

otherwise you'd only exclusively see me fight other commoners

[naive holly]

You've just been in gauntlet goofing the past while so I was like huh lmao.

[neat crow]

What do I do after I hit manual download? I've never used Nexus before.

[naive holly]

So go to slow download, then it'll install the file. Then run the .exe

[shell bronze]

fighting people with gambesons and superior equipment is a joy

[neat crow]

?

[naive holly]

Manual download > slow download

You need to make an account

[naive holly]

Took me forever to find out the weapon tiers actually effect damage and like, sharpness lol

[naive holly]

Damn why i gotta be in chat w both of you rn cant even post clips without embarrassing myself

[neat crow]

I tried installing and it said virus detected. Is that just a firewall thing?

[shell bronze]

when in doubt against one handed weapon users, hit waki no gamae

[naive holly]

Yeah it's a false positive. Promise its safe we all use it

The creator is trying very hard to make it stop doing that

[shell bronze]

me when ai willie doesn't play nice

[mental kelp]

I like this displacement and subsequent unterhau to the head

[shell bronze]

honestly i find half sword easier sometimes when you play without a brain

[mental kelp]

im super sloppy rn with my hews and parries but here's zwerchhau, scheitelhau, and zornhau

zwerch is the first strike, scheitelhau is the first I make after getting into vom tag (the upper guard above head), zornhau is the last strike

[neat crow]

struggling with making it not block it

[shell bronze]

braindead gameplay

[neat crow]

i turned off reputation based projection (windows 11) but that didn't fix it

[naive holly]

You have to hit like, ever single "are you sure" or "see more"

And press allow anyway.

[neat crow]

that's not an option

[naive holly]

It makes you do it like 3 times in different menus

[neat crow]

it's not a warning it's blocking it because "virus detected"

[naive holly]

Should be. Ill try and screen record it or smthn for you in a sec

Turn off defender all together for a sec

[neat crow]

wdym

[mental kelp]

it is falsely saying it is a virus, you have to do whatever you can to make your antivirus not flag it. by turning it off, or saying "download anyway" or whatever you have to do for your particular antivirus. the browser could also be the issue for downloading it, though I have not encountered that, nor do I have an antivirus which blocks

[neat crow]

I found the file quarantined, restored it, but that didn't do anything that I can see

[neat crow]

I turned off everything I know how to

didn't fix it

[naive holly]

Like I said just give me a lil bit

[mental kelp]

is this for ovrdths or for enhancer

[naive holly]

Enhancer no doubt

[mental kelp]

cause enhancer I think people have said that only the launcher gets flagged, so you can also download manual

[naive holly]

My stoned ass completely forgot about that

Do that lol

[naive holly]

Go back to nexus and download the manual installation files instead of the launcher.

Just drag and drop them into your halfsword folder.

Again theres instructions on the page

Me when #halfsword-chat-⚔ turns into #modders-guild-hall on accident

[neat crow]

which folder? I saw the README, searched for said folder but didn't find anything

[naive holly]

Mmmm it should just be your main half sword directory lemme check

You read the readme?

PAAAAAULIE

Lfg

[neat crow]

All I have is "Half Sword Demo" but it's not a folder, it just launches the game

[calm ivy]

When "this wench thikke" 😂

[naive holly]

Right click on the demo in steam > manage files (or whatever it says) > browse local files

Drop it in there

[neat crow]

alright

let's see if that worked

[naive holly]

Should load with an orange menu on your screen

Like this

[neat crow]

didn't get that

[naive holly]

Ive never used the manual install so idrk that one chief
