Actually flawless

shell bronze
#

swinging against stuff is impractical and is only for style points since your combined momentums neutralize and it just results in the same thing as a normal/more realistic parry

naive holly
#

Imma get ridiculously stoned, and do an abyss run before bed

#

Bc I never play abyss

deep shale
#

ill never forget doing this

steady ice
# deep shale

the type shit they do in america when you pay $2250 for an abortion:

shell bronze
#

you know this is way easier to use and fight against veteran tier enemies

steady ice
#

just use plancon

#

its op

deep shale
#

shield bash

shell bronze
deep shale
#

its fatally dangerous when you're pummeling your enemy's head in, and they can't do much about it since there's a giant slab of wood or steel in the way

shell bronze
#

it's the biggest bs pos in the game

deep shale
#

i can imagine it being really rare/expensive in the full game

steady ice
#

yea

shell bronze
#

i hate this fucking weapon

steady ice
#

btw what do you think would be the price of the full game

shell bronze
#

piece of shit

steady ice

bc im broke :)

#

i make that in one hour of OT or like one and a half hour of work otherwise

deep shale
#

70's a bit too much for me. it burned me on mh wilds.
but 20? yeah aboslutely

nimble hazel
#

I suck with the spear.

deep shale
#

id sell myself into slavery to get this game

deep shale
#

want sum advice?

nimble hazel
#

If you don’t mind

deep shale
#

2 big playstyles.
you can go for stabbing, holding your ALT key and wiggling your mouse back and forth to thrust.
or
you can go for swings, sweeping the spear like it's a pole axe and pressing X at the apex of each swing to switch hands.

nimble hazel
#

interesting

#

I’ve been playing since early on but stayed away from the spears🤣🤣

shell bronze
#

the alternative is do more precise thrusting by aiming and double clicking

shell bronze

#

a lot of the spear loadouts in this game feature a shield and i can't recommend it.

#

its like willy cant lift spears with one hand

shell bronze
#

one handing a spear in this game is worse than using a commoner mace against a knight with no shield

deep shale
#

i use the fork in the same manner too

shell bronze
#

that's actually a GREAT idea let me try doing that

deep shale
#

pretending its a polehammer and just smashing the metal part into people

#

it shouldn't work yet it does

naive holly
deep shale
#

lmao

nimble hazel
naive holly
#

Bc spoilance is by far my favorite alternate mode

deep shale
#

big candle stick, small candle stick, gauntlets

naive holly
#

Solid choices

deep shale
#

gauntlets turn your hands into warhammers, if your enemy isn't too armored

naive holly
#

Gauntlets
Stool
Tall candleabra

shell bronze
#

that was actually fun

naive holly
#

Ohhh shit well buckler too

shell bronze
#

honorable mention is the buckler

naive holly
# shell bronze

Bruh I tried doing a commoner run and had to use the fkn mace t6-8

deep shale
#

buckler is crazy good

#

theres a bug where if you try to grapple an enemy's buckler, it glitches the hell out and possibly breaks your wrists

#

makes a great boxing glove

cinder stone
#

lol wuff

#

wuss*

shell bronze
#

it either takes one or two swings or 15

I swear when I have the gore slider turned up I lose limbs to actual fucking paper cuts but when I get hit with the force of a thousand suns I'm perfectly intact

#

Max damage + half sword enhanced strength multiplier is fun

fierce acorn
#

hse strength sucks

#

only hand rigid is good

#

and the other thing in it maybe

#

but the actual strength setting is so fucked

#

cant even get up

#

How Can you do that?

#

Pls Teach me how to do that spin kick thing

#

Also

nimble trench
#

hold shift have good fps and a higher sensitivity and just spin and kick it takes some some to
learn but its worth it

bronze ice
#

Speaking of New techniques I found a New way to fight

#

It is most useful when the opponent is not wearing any head protection

nimble trench
#

sounds interesting

bronze ice
#

You can headbutt

#

When the enemy has no armour on their head, just get really really close to them and look down

nimble trench
#

headbutts are good but you have to aim them otherwise u hurt yourself

bronze ice
#

Perfect when played in first person

bronze ice
#

But if you are playing free mode and on the beggar level than it is useful when you want to knock out your enemy

#

And it is really funny

fierce acorn
#

i love playing with a booby ice pack

#

i think

bronze ice

I just tried headbutting in max player and npc Damage and it doesn't really effect the player just makes him a Little dizzy

Even kratos got bored

And switched to axe and blades

hes so peak because he staff fights with it

shell bronze

but then pops his shield out

I double click for stabbing

happens with my other laptop too

do u have it set to dx11 instead of dx12

#

cause dx12 can cause some issues

idk what dx12 or dx11 mean 😔

wet stump

directx is kinda weird cause my directx diagnostics says my pc can run dx12 but both half sword and fortnite have serious issues when it's set to that

midnight leaf
#

it was on dx11

wet stump

no idea then

#

try all the settings

#

verify installation (although i dont think thats the problem since you have the problem on both laptops)

okay so i just beat knight diff and it says prepare youself for the challenge but the top rank is just me with no wepon and a gambison

#

also when i press play demo with the knight it says low rank thing +1 and i have to get 11 points or somt

ember quartz

#

what do i do

ember quartz
white prairie
#

with what to play

#

the last tier or the knight

ember quartz
#

Pretty sure you have to do the ultimate challenge as the baron.

#

That's how it was the last time I did it atleast.

white prairie
#

baron?

#

i dont get it

#

do i play with the knight tier that apparently does have more progression or the lsat guy with no wepons

#

nevermind all the lower tiers have more progression

ember quartz
white prairie
#

i did it and got nothing agients a guy with an axe and when i beat him another one came and then another, he killed me

#

am i doing this right

ember quartz
#

Yeah, it's supposed to be a thing where you start unarmed and you pick up enemy weapons and armor to progress in the arena until you fight the final boss.

white prairie
#

kk thanks

fathom crypt
#

will there be multiplayer in game?

white prairie
#

also if i leave the game the progretion will still be there right?

#

hoho i 1 shot the veteran's boss by cutting his head in half

once u beat it ull get a lil something and the thing resets

👍

astral tiger
fiery cobalt
#

yeah?

#

no deaths up to knight 😄

#

the knight boss is too easy, mine spawned with an axe

#

a good 4-5 whacks with the mace and he's down

#

how do i heal in the baron's challenge?

#

if i can even heal

solemn holly
#

but it's very slow

fiery cobalt
#

i was handless for like 3 minutes before i had to just die to 3 militiamen

#

it should get changed to how the old abyss was where you heal on kill

ember quartz
#

You don't. lol

#

Just don't get hit.

#

🤷‍♂️

#

Yo yall I beat the game but I cant restart. I wanna be a bagger again but it aint lettin me. Why?

fiery cobalt
#

goddamn i was doing well and i get fatal error'd

#

i was at the veteran stage with a spike mace :l

ember quartz
#

Turning down gore helps to mitigate those crashes.

#

I feel for you though.

#

I crashed a few times on the last stage and it reset me to beggar.

fiery cobalt
#

oh rip

#

im doing baron's so luckily all my progress on that part is saved

#

just gotta reset my baron run

they've earned it

is there some kickstarter or something i'm unaware of? frankly at this point it would be wrong of me not to put money in the hat

Specifically the pole arm.

ember quartz
#

I like the look of the Raven's Beak variant a lot more. It also can stab and has reach, but the Nash is a little more controllable which makes it fun, but not nearly as practical.

I would choose Raven's Beak 100% though.

how come when my willies arm is off he wont fight

#

he just grips his arm and lets himself die

naive holly
#

Try losing your arm and still fighting, and not bleeding out or writhing around on the ground

tender quest
#

im like that if i stub my toe

naive holly
ember quartz
naive holly
#

Someone made a feedback post about this too

#

Like, "how come?" Well, because????

gloomy locust
#

well my willy has balls of steel

naive holly
#

He does not

gloomy locust
#

ik irl you probably wouldnt wanna fight

#

but my willy does

lost rover
#

can i ask a question in here since modding chat is dead

gloomy locust
#

how is willy supposed to stab if hes crying about his lost limbs

ember quartz
lost rover
#

fighting games to be exact

gloomy locust
#

now your willy just pussies out and dies

tender quest

#

ember quartz
brazen wing

you would be surprised what adrenaline can do

ember quartz
#

Your Willie is also more likely to drop things when they get hurt.

gloomy locust
#

i remember my willy would have a little bit of flesh on his skeletonized arm and he'd still kick ass like no tomorrow

#

bring back badass willy

naive holly
#

Naur

gloomy locust
#

as long as you took time out of combat to heal you could still fight

naive holly
brazen wing
#

it would not be unrealistic necessarily to give him a few seconds of swing-ability after taking severe limb damage to simulate the end of an adrenaline dump

gloomy locust
naive holly
tender quest
brazen wing

when a man comes at you with intensity and ill intent one probably is not inclined to stop trying to defend himself even through injury

tender quest
brazen wing
#
  • adrenaline dump
gloomy locust
#

even the enemy pussies out when i chop his arm off

#

hes still got another perfectly good arm

brazen wing
#

this is why first touch fencing is very stupid imho

why isnt he fighting me?

Yeeeeh imma make some breky

because i just look at the wip posts

has it actually been 364 days

Yeah i looked to see if you just joined today bc of your confusion 💀

gloomy locust
#

idk i remember when willies were straight up killing machines

#

feels like they got downgraded

naive holly
gloomy locust
#

???

#

whats enhancer

#

like for example (id send a pic but no perms) im playing the team fight and my arm got chopped off

#

so the best i can do is just push the enemies into my teammates

#

but i have a perfectly good other arm

naive holly
#

Then your willies can behave like this

ember quartz
#

Bro turned Half Sword into a horror game.

ember quartz
# naive holly

The first person view makes it look so much more terrifying.

tender quest

I might have to get enhancer just to fight zombie Willies.

naive holly

thats terrifying

naive holly

Its what you wanted

Willies that won't stop

Even if they cant keep going

This is funny. Back when demo was just abyss, I used to turn both damage adjustments all the way down, just because.

Ended up a screaming skeleton before I stopped.

greatsword is kinda my thing

naive holly

Militus is greatsword CEO

brazen wing
#

i do montante in hema

tender quest
#

you can do many techniques with greatsword you just gotta practice, like irl

#

get the heavier variant and its easier imo

brazen wing
#

there is a stark contrast between how a real greatsword performs and how it performs in game which is very out of line with most other weapons

brazen wing
#

i can get chains of unterhaur/oberhau somewhat decently but it doesnt feel the same as the playtest

naive holly
#

Demo physics are looser than the playtest and more momentum based

#

Less stiff and unnaturally responsive

tender quest
brazen wing
#

dont get me wrong its not terrible

ember quartz
#

I liked the changes, but I also had to get the feel for polehammer again.

brazen wing
#

but definitely lacking

#

i would love to see the ability to do zverchs added too

ember quartz
#

I can't wait to see that teased weapon customizer.

brazen wing
#

would be weird control wise but really cool

tender quest

@tender quest so I tried medium dx12 and my game might actually run smoother that way.

Does anyone know how to prevent a longsword from trapping your hand in place when sheathed? For some reason it keeps happening and ruins ultimate challenge runs

not really much you can do in that regard i fear

there may be a lot of reasons why games from small studios on individual dev teams may take so long to release game. really a lot of reasons

they only recently acquired funding and publishing in 2024 from game seer

usually game developing is slow process

Development of HS started in late 2019 early 2020. Since that time the team has expanded and many iterations of the game have been tested. In 2024 Half Sword Games became an official studio and partnered with Game Seer.

This partnership has allowed for the team to work on the game full time. Before this time everyone on the development team was still juggling day jobs and development was a part time project.

sweet hamlet
#

anyone know how to parry longswords with shorter weapons like daggers?

sweet hamlet
#

I was hoping for a useful answer

mint wadi
#

The fucked up thing is it really is basically what moai said if you already know how to use the auto parry system built in when you press shift.

sweet hamlet
#

huh, parry only works with shift?

mint wadi
#

It certainly helps.

sweet hamlet
#

low-key I think the downfall of this game is that nobody knows how to explain anything, it's all just "skill issue"

mint wadi
#

It's not even out yet. There's no downfall to be had.

do I need to beat ultimate challenge to ask questions?

depends on your attitude

you're better off just going for well-timed stabs

and even then doing so is not very advisable unless you have a shield to back you up

#

well I got the baron for the first time

#

I appreciate the answer at least.

I hate having to disable/lower blood at later stages of the challenge, blood feels like an important source of feedback

#

it is but i've learned to just rely on sound + how hard i swung

#

or decapitations since i play on max gore

In a way, easier the higher you go but also harder as it affects you as well

Got recommendations for game mechanics, my insight as a Buhurt fighter, the point I would like to raise might have already been considered though

#

will burgundy be added to halfsword?

lime perch
#

Will halfsword be adding a BMW m3 320d? Murder_willie

velvet hamlet
#

would be nice to see burgundian heraldry being done

zenith sparrow
#

Well as I say it's probably been covered but the Devs could have a look in at how it hurts to be struck even when wearing armour.

To translate into game mechanics if you are hit on an area that is armoured, it still stuns you.

lofty lily
velvet hamlet
#

plus the elaborate flamboyant harnesses

velvet hamlet
#

they're litteraly set off from france during the timespam of the game

#

plus they're major european power i guess

would be damn cool to see they add heraldic implements to armour and other fancy stuff

no doubt that may come i guess

I even have more halfswording to do

tbh i havent even beaten the abyss yet really so i cant even say ive half sworded fully

#

cant wait for the half sword movie casting THE willie face himself as willie

#

and his iconic line "first we half, then we sword, let's half sword!" before he falls over due to some glitch with a crate in the abyss and gets his skull crushed by another willie with a candlestick

#

that is worse than reverse grip

your left hand got cut off then something probably changed with the grip

I think it's a....one of them wire phones? Like, the experiment where you attach the wire to a can and then to another and talk into it. It's supposed to be a response to a shitty opinion maybe?

i also got slapped on the ass by a small axe and i one tapped

but when i do that they stay alive

naive granite
placid coyote
#

how do you do that

#

grappling

naive granite
#

first i run into their legs

#

hold both mouse clicks and punch with left arm

#

when it connects i grab them

#

then do the same with the other arm

#

then get my posture up

#

eventually they ragdoll

naive granite
#

i prefer one at a time but both works

#

this is nothing

#

once there was a guy that was doing flying armbars

placid coyote
#

thank you

naive granite
#

np,it takes practice

soft osprey

#

I feel like having a large sharp metal pole go through your arm would hurt a little

lavish sapphire

lavish sapphire
#

it only happens when they are in the air

naive granite
#

yeah you can still do that

placid coyote
#

the baron's poleaxe is fun when half sworded

lavish sapphire
#

the way grappling works is weird, if you grab the legs and arms they feel very heavy but if you grab the very lowest part of their back/top of hips then they feel very light and u can lift them over ur head

soft osprey
naive granite
#

it auto grabs the hands and the head and lets it go all the time

#

that makes it hard to grapple

lavish sapphire
naive granite
#

disarming is pretty easy actually,but the other 2 is really hard

#

chokehold can be done but they dont get choked out

lavish sapphire

#

Q4 update on christmas gonna be lit

lavish sapphire

#

its pretty easy actually,you need to hold the hand theyre holding and kinda twist it they let the weapon fo

but those are glitches

#

or mods

you can slam the enemies into the ground and snap knees and such

Can we get weapons in the regular demo with the fist play mode??

Can one change graphic settings oustide presets?
There's values for it in %APPDATALOCAL% but chaning them does nothing, it just resets after every game start

These look stunning

But also a locked wrist seems like a big hindrance

for the gold armor

if you pick up a regular weapon from a dead enemy you realize that the baron is actually bullshit ass strong

still gazelle

It's really powerful but you gotta move deliberately slow with the mouse

shell bronze
#

try using a regular poleaxe it's insanely quick

graceful obsidian
#

yea i know

#

its so good

#

my favorite weapon

wait for freemode does anyone else have it so when you play brave stant as knight the npcs will js start attacking each other and not be on the same team because it's lowk OP for the last level

half of the weapons in this game get used like someone with cerebral palsy was fighting with them

oh, okay well that changes things lol

low jungle
#

30 of those hours have been spent trying to either get my character to move forward when I press W or get my weapon in an actual position to use it because my guy decided his arms went behind and through the ribcage

just got cucked again by the stabbing not working. stab straight up doesnt happen, then my auto focus shifts to a completely different NPC and I get fucked by the guy i was originally attacking

what do you guys think the most realistic gore setting it

lapis marsh
#

the normal one

Yea probably slightly under gruesome

barren mantle
#

mostly cause the swords in this game are

#

well like

#

atom thin lmfao

mental kelp
#

but I dont like having to change it every time since it doesnt save so I just go gruesome

barren mantle
#

i usually play on grottesque cause uh

#

cutting people in half is hella fun

#

i really hope they change how the blades work in the future. Not to say it's not enjoyable rn, cause it is, just i bet these guys can figure out a way so that an edge aligned blade isn't a light saber

lapis marsh
#

tbf i think a large sharp piece of metal impacting your skin at high speeds would go pretty far

barren mantle
#

just you need some force behind it

#

right

ember flame
#

why cant i see that message

#

it would be cool if different swords had different attributes like thin ones with less blade and a point are good at slabbing, while thicker ones with a more refined blade cut easier and deeper.

lapis marsh
#

they kinda already do

ember flame
#

But yeah i also agree no sword is going to be cutting a dude top to bottom with a 1500's sword lmao, or any sword for that matter its just not the type of thing to happen realistically in a sword fight.
