@mint wadi

[mint wadi]

yes

[shell bronze]

it's super fun but impractical as hell

i got chopped in half a lot to get those clips

[mint wadi]

bro idk what you do but your blood always looks so...fluid and VOLUMINIOUS

Do you play on Epic or something

[shell bronze]

max blood high dx12

no

[mint wadi]

I play on max blood dx12 a lot.

I think it's the blur of the video actually

It makes the blood look more fluid than it is.

[shell bronze]

it's the discord compression

[mint wadi]

That

[shell bronze]

overheads remain the funnest things to counter

unless it's from el axe

[plush flower]

god the autolock is sooooo bad, i've tried every setting. why does my guy autolock to a willy so far away and not a willy directly attacking me. Auto lock 100% needs to be better

[proven verge]

CHAAAARGE

[mint wadi]

holy shit lol it locked on to his neck

[nimble delta]

anyone know wht this last update did? i havent been here in a min but i havent seen anything about it

[soft osprey]

You can adjust the strength of lock on

Or just not use it at all

[proven verge]

#updates

[nimble delta]

yes that was 2 months ago

this is a recent update bc it is in my recent steam downloads

i clear them regularly so idk what this one is

literally just 172 MB

[solemn holly]

there is no recent update

it's probably something on your end

[nimble delta]

yeah i guess so, just weird that its there randomly

[soft osprey]

Steam backend updates

Affected lots of games

[nimble delta]

sick man thanks

[young crater]

if halfsword had realistic knockouts it would be the best game ever

[stiff belfry]

i miss the playtest

[light stirrup]

You can still play it, that's if you didn't delete the playtest

Tfw you can't jork it anymore in the demo 😔

[stiff belfry]

yeah ik im playing it rn

i just miss it being the main, updated version

so much better

[light stirrup]

Which version yo got? I have v0.4

[stiff belfry]

whatever the one that was on april 1st was

[light stirrup]

The one with kicking?

[stiff belfry]

yes, so fun

[light stirrup]

I need to get my hands on the previous version

That one had a pretty fun physics bug

[formal chasm]

yondu's sword

[mint wadi]

lol

[red meteor]

What is the best weapon for Knight?

[primal sentinel]

hell yeah

[fair beacon]

this is very comedic

[formal chasm]

fists

[primal sentinel]

attention

how does one uh

go about modding this game

it looks cool

[languid coral]

check pinned messages in #modders-guild-hall

[primal sentinel]

THE 4 STRIKES AGAIN

[stray pivot]

Oh wow

[mint wadi]

I hit a home run on his fucking jaw

[stiff belfry]

#BringBackPlaytestPhysics

[mint wadi]

Half his face went flying lol, ejected

[tacit wasp]

Never seen that before lol 😂

[near grotto]

what musical is that

[mint wadi]

Epic

[mint wadi]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K-eMKjo1bs

This is a good version.

It's the entire musical with fan animations for each song.

[shell bronze]

that was close

almost got sawed in half

[pearl ferry]

a lil tipsy

[shell bronze]

why do they even wear ts in man at arms

damn i'm getting washed

[proper palm]

BE CAREFUL, MC WILLIE IS COMING

[proper palm]

HOOOLLLYY SHIIIIITTT

[proper palm]

TOUUGHH

[sleek gull]

Thanks!

[shell bronze]

this was a TOUGH fight

[sleek gull]

Get Pommeled!

[graceful cosmos]

ez fites fur me

i can also pull off chambers, feints, dodges, etc :)

ill win thru submission

[shell bronze]

fighting in man at arms as a commoner allows you realize that the biggest threats are still the swords

[sleek gull]

Carnage Beatdown!

[graceful cosmos]

Fur me its spears. They go poke poke

Oh and the negan bat one

[shell bronze]

good thing those don't exist in veteran+

[graceful cosmos]

uh

which one that

[shell bronze]

veteran tier

brave stand so fun

[graceful cosmos]

oh. theres also the short spears one

[shell bronze]

there's a way to counter them

[graceful cosmos]

yea i just go around or come up close and well do stuff

[shell bronze]

it's a bit difficult to pull off and you need timing + distance judgement

sometimes they're locked right on to you

my way to counter polearms and spears

[graceful cosmos]

yeah thats why i go up close to have less distance :)

and have em less reach for the pointy stuff to reach me

[shell bronze]

it's how you get close

sometimes they hit you with the bs jab that ends your run

[wheat leaf]

getting constant 'fatal error' crashes anyone know the issue or a fix

[shell bronze]

barring the skill issue i had actually getting him to die this is how i do it @graceful cosmos

[graceful cosmos]

hol up

just wen i was talking shit on spears. i get some in my newer matches now. gona coook em up

[shell bronze]

shield users try not to be LITERAL fodder.

[graceful cosmos]

Its like the game wanted me to prove what i meant

[graceful cosmos]

imma make these cuts, shower and then show ya ^^

[humble harbor]

Had to aura farm at the end huh lmao

[shell bronze]

healthy amount of aura is needed to ensure survival

[sleek gull]

Beat down!

[humble harbor]

Truly

[fierce acorn]

jumped on this mf and got his neck

im so good

[fierce acorn]

real except im not near the level of skill you are king

[shell bronze]

carnage is fun carnage is great

sometimes the npcs kill each other in such disgusting ways you can't help but admire it

[last lagoon]

To those who participate in real life sword tournaments etc...

Do you think playing half sword would improve someone's skills? Of course not in the muscle memory side but maybe in the more mental tactical side?

[shell bronze]

kinda sorta

it's not really helping much besides help you understand some basic movements and biomechanics behind it

[regal juniper]

[shell bronze]

plancon moment

[dusky heron]

I like that forest green

[shell bronze]

god has to stop protecting these guys i stg

[gaunt sigil]

[humble bloom]

god is not protecting him, he IS god

god is defending himself

[deep citrus]

getting pretzeled is crazy

[plain carbon]

hello dudes

im installing something and it says 14 days

now 6 min

[shell bronze]

o wow superior european steel

[gusty path]

Does anybody know how to fix the bug where i literally can not restart my challenge mode

like every time i die i will not go to the abyss for a last chance it just sends me back to the lobby and i have every rank unlocked and i want to restart but i cant

[cerulean vault]

is there any multiplayer mods yet?

[safe jewel]

i found only one that allows to play on split screen either on one pc or throug remote play

[buoyant mirage]

how do you swing the polearm like that from side to side

[random cobalt]

i just spinkicked my way over both fences and now im out of bounds baby

[deep apex]

anyone know how to fix where your arm is stuck backwards around your torso? in abyss and its making him tweek out

[random cobalt]

just turn your damage really low and spasm until you're fixed

then turn the dmg you take back up

[mighty wind]

Bruh fuck off

Had a guy saw my head off through a full helmet and chainmail with a sword

Died in the abyss :(

There goes my god run

[mighty wind]

High-rank longsword is so much fun

You just bonk the shit out of their helmets

The huge spark and audio for it is chef's kiss

[tender quest]

[mighty wind]

"Dink dink dink"

Then you watch them stumble like they're drunk lmao

[mighty wind]

"Gimme that shit bitch"

[worthy hearth]

hits with the crossguard to the face are peak

[spiral meteor]

chat does this go hard

[rich marten]

I cant open the game anymore, it immediatly gives me a fatal error when starting the game

Even after validation and reinstall

[stone charm]

any tips for defeating the golden armor guy? he seems to be taking no damage

[cunning aspen]

This poor sire came to my clinic with candlestick in his arm
Of sure I helped him and amputated arm with candlestick

[tender quest]

this leg glitch is pretty annoying

[cunning aspen]

So... Did I just cut of slice of Willie's butt?

Damn this weapon is absolutely cursed

[random cobalt]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kIRyAIloOjOGY374W?invite=cr-MSxsZW8sMjcwNTEyMjQy

oopsies i broke the game

@tender quest call over the devs since you're the only person i know

@white oracle

[devout belfry]

WHY CANT I PLAY ANY OTHER GUY THAN THE FIST ONE'

im in free mode too

[idle crane]

Please don't ping the Devs use https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1047240101152960525

[random cobalt]

ok

[solemn holly]

it's the very old itch.io demo

[north glade]

yeah its a new update but only rly cool people have access to it sry

if u didnt receive it you're just not good enough sorry pal

[dire portal]

I've gotten up to three of the spear guy bosses to spawn

by accident

[empty badger]

you guys got any tips for maces and warhammers?

[dire portal]

most of the time i never even get that far

[dire portal]

try to find like the very extant of your range

since all of your damage is concentrated at the tip

and try to aim for crippling spots like the legs or right arm

[dire portal]

and especially the head

[empty badger]

hmmm ok

[dire portal]

sometimes they might have a spike or fluke on the reverse end so you can also try to use that

[cunning aspen]

I got fatal error but game still working lol

[dire portal]

i like how the background for the itch demo page is just the picture on the wikipedia page for mordhau

https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzExMzEzOTM1LnBuZw==/original/jvCEZM.png

yes it is

[wheat gust]

is he ok

[dire portal]

I didn't know this was in the game

like I've seen this sickle but not the above billhook

[wheat gust]

i did a slashstep

[light garnet]

DONT TURN AROUND WILLIE

[worn heron]

I see the appeal, but it's hella outdated still, physics especially. Its fun to return to sometimes.

[wheat gust]

POV: You're a bug

[wheat gust]

i love cutting people's hands off so clean that theres no gore

[stark moss]

do kills in the abyss heal you?

awesome

[dire portal]

wait there's a rapier in the game

[odd kiln]

no

[dire portal]

what's this then

[brazen thunder]

please make it multiplayer

so u can play against your friends and carnage with others

[wheat gust]

what do yall think

[wheat gust]

the random guy who jus found this game and downloaded it fter getting called 3 different medieval slurs and getting spin kicked 98 times

[dire portal]

it can spawn at higher tiers of the abyss iirc

[humble harbor]

Imagine downloading half sword for the first time and it being multiplayer and some fuck chucks an axe at you from across the arena

[soft osprey]

Thats a sword

Bro plays halfsword and doesnt know what a sword is

[dire portal]

hs enhancer calls it a rapier

thin blade, can barely cut

very good at stabbing

[hot sand]

when full games out i hope there is much more character customisation

[lethal crag]

well we’ve seen WIP posts about it i think

[soft osprey]

But Willie is so handsome already

[hot sand]

ngl i only want them to have hair and race changable

imagine being able to grab them by their hair 💔

[soft osprey]

Hair likely. Race, no

You’ll change the proportions at least

[hot sand]

why not different races?

[lethal crag]

yeah that’s what i was thinking

[soft osprey]

Historical accuracy

Very much a focus

[hot sand]

ohh yeah

[wheat gust]

why do channels get removed all of a sudden

[soft osprey]

You might have the channels collapsed

[wheat gust]

i dont

[soft osprey]

Which hide channels with no new messages

[wheat gust]

like i checked the photography channel

[soft osprey]

Then youre buggin!

[wheat gust]

and the halfsword channel got removed

i got to the halfsword channel

the other channel got removed

[soft osprey]

It really sounds like theyre collapsed lol

Or just a discord bug

[wheat gust]

nug

fun fact: you can curb stomp people

[wheat gust]

nae nae

no more nae nae

[narrow oxide]

I hope they make the surrender times shorter

that bald fucker does NOT give a shit when I'm surrendering

[narrow oxide]

Every time I look at this channel I am reminded at how much better at this game everyone is than me

[sleek gull]

Don't let it discourage you. Some of us have an unhealthy amount of hours in this game lol

[sleek gull]

This is one of the longest, if not the longest clip i've seen of yours lol

[tender quest]

they dont normally pressure or parry me for this long

[sleek gull]

and normally don't take so much abuse lol

LOL

[sleek gull]

Willie's pull out game is smooth

[dusk adder]

that head tap was disrespectful 😩

[sleek gull]

Fizzlepop Wins: Fatality!

[formal plover]

freaking willie sneaking up every time i think i can switch weapons in abyss

[narrow oxide]

They gotta nerf the commoner boss man

Out of all the damn bosses he's the worst to fight

[soft osprey]

Im going to make a formal request to buff the commoner boss

[sleek gull]

Yeah..And he should wear a forest green Gambison...

[small dove]

https://tenor.com/view/okuyasu-nijimura-summon-jojo-the-hand-za-hando-gif-14165070

[midnight ocean]

yall just a question is grabbing nerfed?

i saw some old videos on half sword grappling

but i cant grab a npc for more than 4 seconds until i let go for some reason

[dire portal]

there are some parts you can grapple better than others

[worn oracle]

Either this, or I get impaled from behind when I try to grab something in the chest...

[midnight ocean]

yeah ik but still it fells way too weak

[small dove]

in some places when you grab them, they get pulled in a direction, which can let you move faster than you can run normally WHILST HOLDING THEM, and then yeet them into the fence

[zenith atlas]

😭

[small dove]

https://tenor.com/view/mihawk-one-piece-arrogant-unfortunately-i-dont-have-a-smaller-sword-handicap-gif-2378889035464135331

[primal sentinel]

rate the fight

[primal sentinel]

theres grip break now and i hate it

they need to at least nerf the grip break factor

[wooden socket]

i decided to turn off no pain for a bit and i managed to beat this polearm guy and only gave him a very survivable cut

[primal sentinel]

you look down and every one of his ribs and limbs are broken and his body is purple with bruises

[wooden socket]

wouldve been funny, ill do a sequel if i demolish a guy like that

[primal sentinel]

(technically thats the only CUT that you gave him, and it WAS pretty survivable)

[wooden socket]

ok chat i beat this guy too, thats gonna leave one hell of a scar but he'll be fine

right?

[primal sentinel]

i can see his skin dawg

[small dove]

i just wanted some better armor :C

[primal sentinel]

first guy was asking for it

[wooden socket]

brochacho thought he could win because he got a lucky shot on my arm early on

[primal sentinel]

brotion with the motion thought he could beat me with a kitchen knife 🥀🥀

[wooden socket]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kIWUCriTCMVGzkiBs?invite=cr-MSxhR3UsMjAxNDg5MDU0

[midnight ocean]

I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY

also is there a mod to remove it?

btw stop commiting dui and running over bumps shaped like a deer

[small dove]

bro thought he was gonna walk away with just a scar on his face

[narrow oxide]

You can get the lids of the chests much faster if you kick them off btw

[small dove]

idrc about how fast i get em off

[wooden socket]

pegleg

im doing alr as a t3 fighting t5s

[odd lodge]

Are there people that don't play grotesque?

[wooden socket]

i dont play grotesque because i find the amputation to be too sensitive on it, like swords cut limbs off a bit too easily for me

[sleek mica]

Even gruesome is too sensitive

[narrow oxide]

I prefer my computer being a computer and not a boeing 747 engine

[sleek mica]

I usually raise blood and lower gore on gruesome

[odd lodge]

I agree, swords as and axes are too sharp, but i use blunts so it's just makes it a harder opponent

[odd lodge]

Skill issue

[narrow oxide]

Money issue

[snow hound]

is there anyway to fix broken limbs or regrow chopped off ones?

[mint wadi]

This felt cinematic as fuck

[serene pilot]

i was in a fistfight and the dude fought hard af, till he couldnt no more and died whilst holding my hand

peak cinema

[mint wadi]

BUYING YOU TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME

[stark moss]

sharp weapons are so pointless in armored battles

[muted dew]

Its almost like armor works

[stark moss]

and the npcs still bring a sword to the fight

[muted dew]

Half swording™ is still an effective technique

[untold dragon]

I did it. I beat the gauntlet, beat the ultimate challenge, and got 7k on the abyss

[soft osprey]

Real and based

[humble harbor]

I love unsheathing for a cut it feels so cool when I pull it off

[humble harbor]

Hold G

[bitter egret]

he did not deserve this

[bleak bough]

anyone elses ultimate challenge crash after the 3rd or 4th kill?

[untold dragon]

turn your gore settings down and the graphic settings down

[little verge]

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.

[hidden whale]

neat little detail on the back of helmet, love this game

[primal sentinel]

is thsi modded or no

[primal sentinel]

rare mcwonderbeast sighting in the wild

[wintry monolith]

not sure if this counts as nsfw

but i bugged out the game

i traded kills and got the death and win screen at the same time

[unreal vale]

how can I get in thoese matches?

I only get the map where is very froggy

[wintry monolith]

and uhhh

i spawned naked lmfao

[wintry monolith]

try going into free play mode if thats whats you're looking for

[soft osprey]

Yeah known bug, can be replicated the same way every time

[unreal vale]

When I go on FreePlay mode, I still get the same map

[slender hull]

yeet

[unreal vale]

I see people online playing different maps

[muted grail]

why cant I grab certain parts of the body?

[wintry monolith]

ah i just reported it my bad

i wasnt aware

[soft osprey]

No way you could know without it happening or reading through the thousands of bug reports haha no worries

[real knoll]

I want to start game from the begining, i dont want to do this chalange, what should i do

[analog pelican]

I have found that if you deal blunt damage to an already damaged limb, that was damaged by a sword, then its easier to break that limb it seems

[soft osprey]

Follow

[primal sentinel]

kick him next time

[slender hull]

bro entered phase two

[analog pelican]

this doesnt seem right

[primal sentinel]

bro was filled with DETERMINATION

[slender hull]

but it refused

[analog pelican]

the homonculus returns

[primal sentinel]

is it just me or

(who you attack first)

[formal plover]

i usually run to the middle so the side guys fight each other, then sometimes it's a 1v1 with middle guy or they end up fighting each other and not me lol

[slender hull]

why tf does this keep happening 😭

[formal plover]

the one in the back: you sure you guys got it? i can help

[slender hull]

when you owe the cartel 0.001$

[sand sorrel]

When can we play we other people?

[rare scroll]

i finally made it

but its all over 😦

no context. i made it to the golden dude on the last tier of the gauntlet and got my wrist cut and lost

sad but true

i disarmed him of his polehammer and everything 😭

[formal plover]

i havent gotten that close but the most disappointing death i had i stepped on a lil poleaxe and cut my foot off

[hidden whale]

i love how the AI recognizes you are a giant and thus his weapon is no use so he backs away from you, as opposed to having sloppy ai and it just reads if you are a threat based on weapon or not. i swear sometimes willie acts like a real person

[hidden whale]

this is unmodded

[slender hull]

If I were him I’d just run away without looking back

[hidden whale]

yea me too XD i would be GONE

[formal plover]

add rolling to dodge and you have a new dark souls

[hidden whale]

and the
nnyOOOM

[hidden whale]

hes 30 ft tall jesus

[slender hull]

He couldn’t walk straight due to his weight, so I had to break his knees to crawl

Creepiest shot I’ve gotten yet

[stiff heart]

A monster :<

Btw came here to ask a question

Is there a way to make it so you can keep going after losing a hand or leg instead of your character just tweaking and not fighting back.

[slender hull]

One way is to turn all damage to player down to 0

[slender hull]

But that also makes you never lose consciousness,
So you can also get HS enhancer mod for the no pain option

[shell bronze]

no

[slender hull]

Ah, you meant no tweaking at all, then yeah get HS enhancer mod

[stiff heart]

There's mods?

[shell bronze]

yes there's mods

[stiff heart]

Uh where

Nexus or sum?

[shell bronze]

loadout selector, enhancer/trainer, custom weapons

yeah nexus

[stiff heart]

Ah alr

Ty boys

If I wasn't gay I'd kiss you both

[shell bronze]

check pinned in #modders-guild-hall

[urban bear]

Is there a mod that lets me pick my armor/weapons?

[deep citrus]

sometimes its best he keeps the polearm since he struggles to use it...Once he takes out the greatsword its wraps

[naive holly]

Half Sword Enhancer to spawn stuff, combined with OVRDTHs Loadout Selector to save it

[narrow oxide]

Should I download OVRDTH for playtest or demo?

[naive holly]

Demo, should be updated

[stable rivet]

oh what the fuck

that thing is not human bro

[hollow moss]

The abyss is full of monsters

[stable rivet]

yeah, swear to god, if i ran into a willie like that, who can only crawl on his knees

emerge out of the fog

id scream like a little girl

[hollow moss]

Imagine the willies just get more fucked up the further you go in the abyss

[stable rivet]

the baron is actually just a complete mess of willies fused into each other

[mental cargo]

lol

[primal sentinel]

i just wakled in on this

[hollow moss]

The moment I see willies show up in the abyss with injuries I didn't give them I'm crying

[primal sentinel]

what are you taling abt

u talkin bout some mutated willie monster things

[hollow moss]

yeah

scroll up shit's horrid

[graceful cosmos]

Shoud've gone fur the head

[cunning rock]

The game have a date for release?

[urban bear]

Does OVDRTH save loadouts when you’re actually in the arena? I thought it was only in the menu.

[naive holly]

Both

[urban bear]

Oh sick

[naive holly]

The formula is

Spawn in > equip items with enhancer > press T to save the kit into the next match > pause and save to ovrdths

[stable rivet]

exactly, but they'd all be bloody, wielding daggers and constantly grabbing at you

[little verge]

Your not around much.

[stable rivet]

good dreams lmao

chat do you need to be on cinematic graphics to use reshade mods

[shell bronze]

don't think so

[mental cargo]

bet

[urban bear]

Tried to install it manually but it ain't working for me :c

[soft osprey]

Cinematic isn’t meant to be played on anyway

[lapis marsh]

No

[soft osprey]

Just for pictures

[primal sentinel]

how do you change the graphics in picture mode

[primal sentinel]

Now kick one of them i wanna see how far he flies

[slender hull]

i cant, being that size requires me to break my legs

[stable rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/ridewithp-gif-20970119

[soft osprey]

You can’t really haha Thats the shitty part, you have to switch then go into camera mode, so be quick with the pausing. That being said, cinematic isn’t even meant to be in the game and will be removed in the future.

[primal sentinel]

good

[slender hull]

that’s what I was going for lol

[primal sentinel]

honestly it should stop at high

thats the perfect setting

Is there a way to disable your helmet in first person?

also my character hurt one of his arms and it made the other unusable somehow

the gauntlet is broken as hell

[naive holly]

He wanted me dead dead

[raw sky]

Oh shit, bruv got bodied

Gta 4 and a half

[wheat gust]

bitch boy grabbed me in the middle of my spin kick so i lowkey had to agonize him

[mint wadi]

The handling of the greatswords is starting to kind of piss me off.

They handle like 20lb sledges

[iron eagle]

Chiken Nugs or Wings

[ocean hedge]

wings

[mint wadi]

They both have their uses.

Generally nugs are more consistent if you're getting them from an eatery.

[iron eagle]

Nice Opinion

[iron eagle]

True

[ocean hedge]

thank you, i prefer wings cause i like juicier meat, not processed slime

[mint wadi]

I generally eat nuggets/tenders/breaded chunks of chicken more often than wings.

You know most nuggets aren't processed anymore than wings.

[iron eagle]

i like both

[mint wadi]

Specifically a couple fast food joints and certain bagged brands do the mechanical separation thing.

[ocean hedge]

not talking about wings from restuarants, we make wings at home

the only right way to have food

[mint wadi]

The vast majority of nuggets even at the store in bags are whole pieces of chicken cut up.

The slime thing is just an old meme at this point.

[ocean hedge]

lmao

[mint wadi]

McDonalds does it just because it's cheap and their flavor is iconic.

[peak lily]

Hello, how are you?
I recently installed the game and I love it, are you planning to put it online?

[mint wadi]

Online multiplayer will probably not happen.

They've said they will look into it after release.

[wheat gust]

i don tlike when they grab me during my spin kick

[ocean hedge]

though it would be cool

[iron eagle]

How are u guys

[peak lily]

oh, thanks you

[wheat gust]

lwk had to slime zawg out

yes

[iron eagle]

[warped apex]

[iron eagle]

oK

[mint wadi]

bippity boppity your neck is my property

[warped apex]

I also got just a beautiful stab on the commoner champ

[bleak girder]

[warped apex]

beat the abyss then you'll come back

unless you're talking about the baron

[mint wadi]

Bro this was a fucking mult scene mortal kombat ult type shit right here

[pearl ferry]

LMFAOOOOOOOO

For honor executions be like

[mint wadi]

Oh my god

I'm laughing so hard

I'll never live this one up.

holy shit

[analog pelican]

there should be a seperate audio slider for the limb loss scream i think, because for me personally it is an unberable torture that i would not wish for my worst enemy to listen to for more than 3 seconds

its way too loud

[mint wadi]

it's like a benny foddy scene

[mint wadi]

please watch this it's a once in a lifetime experience.

[analog pelican]

and its annoying, because its constant and way louder than any other sound or scream in the game, and it gets VERY REPETATIVE if you listen to it for more than 20 seconds. 20 seconds being the baseline which is reduced every moment you listen to it. atleast thats what it seems like.

[mint wadi]

It ended too early

[hoary canopy]

ive never seen the physics freak out that bad before

[primal sentinel]

i remeber that new track in the death screen speedpaint

[wheat leaf]

Finally got back on halfsword after prob months, maybe near a year without playing.

These AI got hands now

Tried doing a full armor duel thought I’d land a clean combo and smoke em, WE WAS FIGHTING FOR 5 MINUTES STRAIGHT

[jolly gorge]

i hate armour duels, its blunt force trauma only 😦

Anyone elses AI on Small Buhurt killing eachother and themselves straight off spawn?

[wheat leaf]

We went through every weapon until it was just him with a dagger, had to push him outta bounds cause neither hands worked anymore

[jolly gorge]

i just fucking slam them into the corner and continously rub myself against them, slowly choking them to death

[wheat leaf]

Dog what

Yknow they gave us weapons you don’t have to grope enemies to win

[jolly gorge]

i mean, if they have full armour weapons dont really work......

so i either have my big sword and put em in a headlock, slicing them slowly

or i just headlock into a corner and wait it out

[pearl ferry]

Skill issue

[jolly gorge]

slowly punching em

[wheat leaf]

Blades work fine you ever heard of thrusting

[jolly gorge]

sorry that i dont play on full npc dam 🙏

[sweet hamlet]

McToblerone
McMahon ✅

[jolly gorge]

😏

[wheat leaf]

DAGGERS are ass in this game tho, they fumbled them monumentally and the fix is so simple

[jolly gorge]

unless they are naked

then they are nice

[wheat leaf]

Make the dagger attack in a hook motion, so if you need it in armored combat, you can attack inward towards the enemy not just thrust past them aimlessly

[sweet hamlet]

I think 1-handed weapons are a little underwhelming in general, and reach is king

[jolly gorge]

i mean the hatchet is pretty good

id count is as 'small range' compared to the HOE

[wheat leaf]

It’s entirely voided of all potential use by being held like a fencer when its soul purpose is for grappling and submission

[jolly gorge]

what is?

[wheat leaf]

Daggers like seen in high tier armor

[jolly gorge]

ah

Daggers are kinda used for weak points tho

[wheat leaf]

Low armor? Yeah makes sense hold it like a sword and be very distant

[sweet hamlet]

yeah, in which case a reverse grip would be nice to work with on daggers

[wheat leaf]

You can’t hit the weak points of an armored knight with a dagger is what I’m saying

[jolly gorge]

what is that mfing control 😭

[jolly gorge]

i mean, you kinda can, very janky

[wheat leaf]

But see, if you swung the dagger like you throw a hook punch, with the point facing inward, it would make perfect sense for armored combat

Essentially the same exact reason to halfsword in close combat

[jolly gorge]

thing is tho, its funny to make it so its not perfect as it just makes you make your own ways to defeat the enemy

like i love fighting enemies with my fists arse naked

https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1396294571125641327

[wheat leaf]

It’s not that it isn’t perfect it’s that it’s useless to any plate armor

[jolly gorge]

igig

[wheat leaf]

Idk why devs haven’t done this it’s baffling

[jolly gorge]

tbf its a demo and i dont think they will do much

prob just fix stuff and chuck it out whole as a beta

[wheat leaf]

That is very true

Gotta give em credit it’s a very good game considering all things, just wish they’d make the dagger as good as its irl counterpart

[jolly gorge]

aye

then again, you have a candle stick ripping torsos in half 😂

[wheat leaf]

That too

I just recently found out the ‘pommel’ side of it has a spike

[wheat leaf]

Somehow never knew that even through like 50+ hours of the original demo, pret sure it’s called abyss now

[jolly gorge]

yea what is the abyss

i know that if you die in Progression Mode you go to it

but then i dont get what to do

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wheat leaf]

You survive

[jolly gorge]

yea but what do i do

like random coffins with clothes n stuff

i finna go sleep, nice chat, toodles 👋

[wheat leaf]

I only tried this new version once and didn’t get it really either, beforehand instead of fog it was just darkness with candles by rhe loot n stuff, you fought 5 basic enemies then a final boss, then the next area would 2 enemies per encounter and another final boss, likewise next area is 2 enemies per encounter and 3 enemies for the boss fight, higher tier armor and weapons as you progress

Maeennnnn gon ask me a question then dip ima freak

[hollow moss]

Man I feel like a flailing idiot watching all these clean ass kills 😭

[hoary canopy]

its great whenever you can disarm the champion without taking them out

[hoary canopy]

clean kills and its him jamming the sword into the willy's side over and over until it works

[hollow moss]

I mean just generally not that specific one

[soft osprey]

Theyre only showing you their good clips lol

[hollow moss]

I assumed as much tbh

[pearl ferry]

all that armor and for what

[wheat leaf]

love how the early gore updates had limbs just popping off

maeeen shit aint even a video

worked last time smh

ayy this one still works

[twilit escarp]

holy shit what an uppercut

[wheat leaf]

kinda a gnarly setup all around with the parry

[shell bronze]

me when i have noodle arms and i have to find a way to put my sword in this guy

[shell bronze]

that's right

[shell bronze]

for every nice kill i get 3 boring kills, 4 kills where i take damage, and one where i get my head cut off

in reality most of my kills just look like this

(or wins technically, he survived)

[twilit escarp]

changing hands with a 1handed sword is insanely fun

[summer brook]

i usually just get a streak of good kills then i lose it and get off the game

[shell bronze]

so true brother

but yeah a lot my kills are just shield guys that need to be put down

before i fight something cool like a polearm or a sword

[wheat leaf]

Btw any of you guys still use custom loadout mods? I still got my ancient one from 2024 but it didn’t work too well

[shell bronze]

i do

ovrdth

[wheat leaf]

Oh dang same one I got, probably just gotta update it then

[shell bronze]

yeah just gotta update it

me when i excitedly rush for the longsword guy but then have to spend 1 whole minute wrestling with these dudes with big ass shields

so i can't clip it

[twilit escarp]

honestly, there are very few things more satisfying than a throat cut

[shell bronze]

the most annoying part about fighting in any tier is that you have to cycle through all the fuckass fodder to get a guy with a polearm/longsword that you actually want to fight seriously

[pearl ferry]

all the shield guys are annoying

[wheat leaf]

curious, when you throw a downward strike like that do you use the thrust button or just drag downwards again

[pearl ferry]

usually switching shoulders and downward striking to their sword arm immediately kills them

and they dont block

[mental kelp]

blunt zwerchau

[wheat leaf]

ive had a couple times theyll just randomly do a picture perfect parry riposte or counter attacks perfectly

[wheat leaf]

the amnesia stick

[pearl ferry]

usually shield guys LOVE running at you full speed after they get off ANY sort of attack

[shell bronze]

it's just a simple flick

[shell bronze]

that's universal

the 2h guys will run at you with half sword

[pearl ferry]

shield guys do it way more frequently

the 2h guys do that when ur wearing armor I feel like

[radiant venture]

i fucking love sawing off the back of the neck using half swording

[wheat leaf]

im not sure if its still as viable with changes since i last played, but i used to find it was super quick to thrust from high guards to get that downward flick, as it just pulls the sword into the outstretched position

[shell bronze]

it works for players sometimes but when ai willie tries that bs on me they lose their arm or artery immediately

[radiant venture]

????? i just cut off someone's head off by running towards them at the start while halfswording

[wheat leaf]

like this is how id do it before lol

[summer brook]

yeah

[wheat leaf]

looks almost identical but different button input makes it faster for Greatsword maybe

more precise potentially as it only has one final spot to aim for

[radiant venture]

using ALT to throw down your sword is not very smart since you lose on edge alignment

well some of it anyway

[wheat leaf]

but it aleviates the chance of completely whiffing the attack out of nowhere as it sometimes will

def skill issue but i get that a lot, ill be wound up ready to swing and itll just switch guards or throw it in the most random direction

[shell bronze]

some more ole skool commoner longsword

[radiant venture]

halfsword to the back of the neck + kick

easy kills

[wheat leaf]

nah, attack body so they bend over, put sword to the top of their neck and kick the head

[radiant venture]

unless of course your opponent were to wear chainmail

[shell bronze]

it's just very sensitive

overheads have one of the smallest margins of errors in the game

[radiant venture]

biggest

[mental kelp]

It’s good for scheitelhau and flicking contact

Lit a 100% chance of success due to the limitations

[wheat leaf]

nah its weaker though, sometimes itll just tap the shoulder or neck and not actually register

[radiant venture]

nice argument but i dont know what the fuck scheitelhau is

[dense mantle]

yall think he good?

[shell bronze]

the best way to practice overheads is to spam it kendo style until you get used to the motion

[radiant venture]

feeling fantastic

[wheat leaf]

highly dependant on how far up or down your looking when you throw it, if your looking even slightly too far up the attack is nothingburger

[wheat leaf]

real

[dense mantle]

fr i used the jin sakai technique

stone stance

[wheat leaf]

jit sake technique did me good

[radiant venture]

im a simple man

i horizontal to throat shot

[wheat leaf]

bro think he Lynyrd Skynyrd

[radiant venture]

i just ate a fucking halberd jesus christ

[radiant venture]

overheads have a chance to hit the trapezoid muscles

the head is a maybe

but im a sword guy

[shell bronze]

funny because GoT is my favorite modern story game out rn

[wheat leaf]

what kinda sensitivities are yall running nowadays

[radiant venture]

between m and o

[wheat leaf]

mouse i mean

[radiant venture]

between m and o

800 dpi

[shell bronze]

i do kenjutsu and kendo so it works super well with the katana mod

[radiant venture]

between m and o

[dense mantle]

really. i appreciate story writing. and my favorite is a tie between RDR2

[shell bronze]

on the lower side

[dense mantle]

and if you include past games stories

GOW ragnarok

[shell bronze]

rdr2 is just in a different level

[wheat leaf]

wait between which? didnt get it the first time matt

[shell bronze]

rockstar always drops heat

[radiant venture]

the letters m and o on the mouse sensitivity slider

[shell bronze]

but stone stance is pretty much the most proper stance in GoT for realism @dense mantle

[dense mantle]

yeah thought so. its what ive seen most kendo people use

i wish moonstance was a real thing

its fucking baller

[wheat leaf]

i finally get it

[wheat leaf]

i was wondering who tf has the letters m and o on their mouse

[shell bronze]

it's actually not

kendo doesn't use hasso no kamae outside of practice/ceremony reasons because it lowkey sucks for how the sport works

[wheat leaf]

why your fighting stance look like an autistic kid in a crowded space

[summer brook]

im doing overhead

[wheat leaf]

it just looked funny is all

[pearl ferry]

very descriptive

seen it before

[wheat leaf]

i didnt know how else to describe it other than the stance you see that basketball shorts wearing white kid with earmuffs on in the 6th grade

chaknow?

[shell bronze]

@dense mantle but stone stance is pretty much just hasso no kamae with a big time emphasis on kesagiri (diagonal vertical strikes) and kiriotoshi (direct head strikes)

[wheat leaf]

stoned stance>

[dense mantle]

peak. i wonder if someone would do a whole conversion mod like the new one for bannerlord

[dry linden]

is there a multiplayer mod?

[dense mantle]

no

[shell bronze]

no

[dense mantle]

a multiplayer mod would be ridiculously hard

[pearl ferry]

doing a little dance with the willies

[dense mantle]

and a clanky

reminds of the clankers

fuckin clankers

[verbal knot]

How to grapple?

[viral garnet]

Q and E

[verbal knot]

I want to pick people up

Is there anyone that can help me rather than saying Q and E

[viral garnet]

u cant pick ppl up

[verbal knot]

You definitely can

I've picked them up before

I just can't consistently

[viral garnet]

idk what to tell u man

[verbal knot]

There's gotta be a place somewhere in here that can help me

[viral garnet]

ur not rlly supposed to be able to do that i dont think

[verbal knot]

I'm lowkey just playing because I train MMA and it's somewhat realistic

But it's extremely hard to learn this stuff by myself

[summer brook]

https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1244313050174197850

[verbal knot]

Thanks man

[mental kelp]

Gonna tell u now they probs aren’t gonna help very much in words but they at least have clips

[verbal knot]

Whys that

[pearl ferry]

Hehehe

[mental kelp]

Every time I see anyone ask on there it’s always “watch clips and figure it out bro it’s not hard”

They don’t do a lot of teaching and seem extremely adverse to it

Though some people have shown and discussed the basics on there

[verbal knot]

Seems like a lot of people go in there and ask a lot of questions

Looks like people just grew tired of answering questions lol

Someone needs to make a tutorial and pin it

Or at least a little paragraph

[mental kelp]

Yea

Blue is one of the few I’ve seen actually help out in depth, the greatest of the greatest tho nah

[verbal knot]

I could probably scroll up and find something

Looks like half of them got banned lmao

[ember helm]

i had a question about like, controlling the sword

i cant seem to like comfortably control the sword and it just feels really clunky to use

[pearl ferry]

play around with your sensitivity

other than that get used to it literally just play around try different techniques / movements with your hand and the character

[light stirrup]

I got the wooden horse treatment

[ember helm]

gotcha, ive been having fun regardless of the shortcomings ive had, best ive been able to do is turn someone into a McNugget

nothing like flashy haha

[pearl ferry]

once you get used to it you can start doing flashy stuff trust

[pearl ferry]

the screaming

[light stirrup]

He has reason to be screaming at least

[pearl ferry]

willie needs to chill

[light stirrup]

He just busted his balls on the fence man 😭

[pearl ferry]

It's fine they grow back

[light stirrup]

The twins are probably up to his stomach lmao

[summer pollen]

mf ripped off my face mask

[ember helm]

also i see people here doing like

dashes

or something

[shell bronze]

the ai is definitely 100% randomized

i have never seen one this slow

they're usually a lot more ferocious than this

[void vessel]

hey guys, Is there a way to break someone's bones in the game or is it a future update?

[verbal knot]

You can definitely break bones

[void vessel]

sadly

sadly?

[shell bronze]

you can break bones

use mace

turn damage against enemies up if you want to break them easier

[ember helm]

i swear most of my fights against these shield guys is just me wailing on them with my hands

[void vessel]

in my demo I can't reach arms, sad

[naive holly]

How so

[naive holly]

Wym

[void vessel]

wyw?

[ember helm]

i just am not too fantastic at the game thats all haha

learning curve atm

best i can manage is punching a dude out

the skill issue will disappear soon, for now punches must be thrown

[shell bronze]

it's not too bad

i can show you how to beat them into a pulp with one or two good strikes

[void vessel]

Can this be done in the demo? and I can't break anyone

[shell bronze]

@ember helm throw a strong left strike at them after baiting them into swinging against the direction of their shield

[ember helm]

the control of the sword is like perfect man

[shell bronze]

it simultaneously parries whatever they try to do against you and probably kills them

[ember helm]

mine flails around like a pool noodle, i tried to poke with the sensitivity and it just feels the same all across the board

[naive holly]

Yes this is the demo

[shell bronze]

keep it lower than you think @ember helm

practice against the dummy until you can swing for certain areas

[naive holly]

I got clips for you @shell bronze

We ballin

[void vessel]

my enemies' bones don't break 😦

[ember helm]

gotcha

forgot the dummy existed

[shell bronze]

it's great

[naive holly]

There's more but im drip feeding

[shell bronze]

@ember helm it's great for practicing stuff like this

[shell bronze]

third clip sneaky

[naive holly]

Living up to my namesake tonight

Especially the fourth one like, got one of everything in there

[shell bronze]

poke

[naive holly]

Couple cheeky Skywalker treatments too

Fr we having fun tonight. Good blend of cleanliness and goofyness

Second clip is not the one I meant for lol

Theeere we go

Alr done for now ty for coming to my ted talk

[shell bronze]

those count dooku decaps are the best

[naive holly]

Fr idek how i got behind his hand but it was so perfectly lined up you almost cant even tell it happened

[naive holly]

Also fyi the t7 content lately is fire.

Does katana struggle to stab? I fr dont know

[last bear]

any halfsword modders out there to help me use ovrdth??

[shell bronze]

that bitch does not stab at all

it's effectively (in this mod) a one edged slashing only weapon

[dry linden]

how do you get up from the ground when knocked?

[naive holly]

What's giving you trouble

[naive holly]

Hold W or S depending on if youre on your back or stomach

Shift helps

[last bear]

im double clicking the uh loadout and im not getting the weapon, sorry if i have bad english,i speak portuguese

is it bc im playing as beggar ??

[wheat leaf]

And don’t panic although you’ll likely die, button mashing or using any attack inputs will just fumble you

[naive holly]

No worries.

And yes, fist play takes away your weapon

You'll see it in carnage though

[last bear]

ooh ok

tysm

guys my dogs are barking down the stairs, and i heard some strange sounds, should i go down there?, im kinda scared

also im home alone

[naive holly]

Absolutely not

[last bear]

and my door wont lock

[snow gulch]

are there any mods that let you use the candle stick/generally any spoilance weapons in 1v1s? love using it but hate that its restricted to one gamemode

[last bear]

im cooked

[shell bronze]

yes

[snow gulch]

time to set your desk up against the door!

[naive holly]

Half sword enhancer

[shell bronze]

spawn candlestick with enhancer/trainer
pick up

[snow gulch]

oh shoot alright

[shell bronze]

save to loadout selector

[snow gulch]

thanks

[shell bronze]

beat them

[naive holly]

I have a double stool loadout bc its my fav spoilance weapon lmfao

Wrecks at all tiers

[snow gulch]

didnt know that it saved even when you didnt spawn with that weapon

[naive holly]

Wham wham wham wham

[naive holly]

Yeah the formula is

Spawn stuff with enhancer > press T to save to the next round > save with ovrdths

[snow gulch]

sick

[shell bronze]

you save it with enhancer then save it in ovrdth

otherwise it just saves your default loadout

[snow gulch]

OH alright gotcha

thank you both for the help!

[naive holly]

Yep that's what I meant by T

You can just pause as soon as the next round starts and save that way.

Like if you dont want to bother with fighting,

Use training dummy to kit up, then pause as soon as the next fight starts

[wheat leaf]

only a peasant needs sword enhancers! we real knights are all natural

[last bear]

it was just fireworks

im dumb

dumb and stupid

[formal chasm]

lower the sensitivity until you can reliably keep the sword pointing to the center of the screen

[stray pivot]

Does anyone have any photos of the new gore they’re working on?

[tawny anvil]

we want multiplayer for this game so that we can get tournament, peak game

"This game is y-worthi to greet honour and renown"

[mental kelp]

A mimir

[mental kelp]

greatsword gaming

[shell bronze]

fantastic stance and accuracy

[fallen iris]

when's half-sword supposed to release again this year? Q4?

[shell bronze]

yes

[naive holly]

So glad i finally got my mf recording software figured out everything finally runs and looks alright

This is what we were working with before lmfao

OBS is way more demanding than I expected, granted ive got a shitty pc. Same with the steam overlay,

But gamebar set to 60fps literally steals like 5 frames instead of 15 so itsa dub

[fallen iris]

also, any way to control what foot kicks? it always feels random to me, messes up my kicks a tonn

[naive holly]

Back foot kicks

So time it with your stride or set it up with your stance

[fallen iris]

huge. thank you, wish there was a bit better control but glad there is a way to at all

[naive holly]

Im sure we'll see control tweaks and remapping and all kinds of stuff in a few months. Fingers crossed.

[fallen iris]

hopefully. very finnicky now, where if i do anything cool its usually by chance

also locking on 🤮 aims at chest level so i have to move my mouse up and to the side

[naive holly]

Personally I just spam tf out of kick or time it naturally instead of controlling it.

But nevertheless I do agree. Just my two cents

[naive holly]

OKAY THIS

Im more than relatively satisfied with the demo outside of performance

But holy shit lock on defaulting to the knees is insane

And never going above chest level

[fallen iris]

i spam kick too and it often works, but there's niche situations i'd like to control which foot easier

[naive holly]

In the playtest you could set it to their forehead, I miss that shi so much

[fallen iris]

why i randomize having a large willy(hah) so that lower=typically chest

i imagine it was taken out because it was super powerful lol, i wish it'd be atleast chest level

i also have a two monitor setup, side by side, so everything is slightly at an angle and the game is negative amounts of forgiving for any deviance in swings, especially overheads

[mental kelp]

sparing willie's arteries just so instead he gets major blunt force trauma and broken bones

[naive holly]

Well idk what the deal was behind the scenes,

But you used to be able to lock it to

Shoulders/head
Core/left-right a bit too
Legs

[fallen iris]

weird. any way to access this pre-demo

[naive holly]

I rlly need to get on the weapon pack train, still havent

[fallen iris]

excuse me sir we were talking here 🤓

[naive holly]

Lmao

Señor Sworde the goat fr

[fallen iris]

commoner worst boss fr holy shit

[naive holly]

Would need to have the playtest installed, and not removed from your steam library.

Or know someone who has it zipped and saved

Like moi

[fallen iris]

i never had it from before this, i think i got it relatively short after it released

[naive holly]

Ill find a couple playtest clips

[fallen iris]

i remember hearing about gore being better, especially with blunt weapns

[naive holly]

Its bedtime for me at the moment but tomorrow I can see if I can figure out how to share the playtest.

[naive holly]

Ah yeah the old demo,

No one has access to that now unless they saved a copy

[fallen iris]

that would be baller, just DM me it

[naive holly]

Bc the one we're playing now is the updated demo, while the playtest was its own thing

[fallen iris]

weird. cant wait for q4 release

[mental kelp]

Yea, whatever, look at this cut flourish
