The ubisofts said the people LIKE being gouged, it must be true!

[solemn holly]

on release you can pay $20 usd for the Half Sword Premium Battle Pass

you get gold armour cosmetics and a gun

[vapid hull]

Half Sword games if they were awesome (every step costs $5 or else you cant play anymore)

[full burrow]

rough roadmap, when will actually edible pears be implemented in the game

[vapid hull]

I thought your pfp was the roadmap for a second

[full burrow]

pear

[vapid hull]

When can we expect the pearmap, I don’t care about the roads. @halfsworddevelopmentteam™

[radiant venture]

it's guaranteed because it's an inevitability

[willow solstice]

is there a cheat menu mod

[left mica]

I haven't been on in months, anything new?

[idle crane]

[candid yew]

is there like a specific date when the full version is getting released?

[solar remnant]

why does my half sword bugging out like keeps crashing everytime ugh

[balmy kraken]

[hasty reef]

Does the "Center Crosshair" actually work, and if it does, what does it do?

[random cobalt]

Wow, those people were really ahead of their time.

[solar remnant]

Thx

[muted dew]

It is over duke of windsor for I have already depicted myself as the chad and you as the virgin soyjack

[stark moss]

wasnt letting the disrespect slide

[muted dew]

https://tenor.com/view/baki-hanma-hanma-grappler-baki-yujiro-ogre-gif-25166619

nice haymaker

[stark moss]

freaky

actually peeled his skin off

[candid yew]

YESSS

[rustic smelt]

there should be a real life half sword where people sign up

not like buhurt

like

[candid yew]

id sign up

[stark moss]

it dropped??

[rustic smelt]

sharp weapons

and

light armor

[rustic smelt]

it would basically be like

[stark moss]

surely nothing can go wrong

[rustic smelt]

soldier level gear

but sharp

[candid yew]

fire

[rustic smelt]

and like u can actually duie

😭

[candid yew]

wheres the sign up sheet

[rustic smelt]

let me make one we can host it in my backyard

🙏

[stark moss]

people who forfeit in battle are also beheaded publicly on a livestream

[candid yew]

okay just send the address

[rustic smelt]

yes

[candid yew]

also

how do i save my photos from the game to post in the photography thing

[stark moss]

ts album cover so goofy bro

it looks like those caricatures

im fucking losing it bro

[stark moss]

x then you can find it in your files

[candid yew]

okay thanks

[solar nest]

i jsut spin kicked a guy into the fence and he smashed his head on it

[stark moss]

fence has so much force for no reason

[candid yew]

i dont see anything in my files

[stark moss]

i think willie is brainless actually

[vapid hull]

Are you asking for gladiator fights

[stark moss]

Steam\steamapps\common\Half Sword Demo\HalfSwordUE5\Screenshots

[ember zephyr]

is it possible to die when falling into the void

[ember zephyr]

yeah i got cut open he has no brain

[stark moss]

makes sense

[steady arch]

Add a little brain just like the one in happy wheels

[stark moss]

too much for someone like willie

[ember zephyr]

do y'all let the npcs surrender?

[pearl ferry]

if they put up a good fight yes

[stark moss]

i never let them leave unscathed

[pearl ferry]

if they immediately got clobbered and surrender then they get executed

[stark moss]

you gotta be missing atleast one limb to be spared

[ember zephyr]

yeah some guy surrendered without even picking up a weapon

at least fight

[stark moss]

if they do that in carnage i mutilate them

[ember zephyr]

those guys with the pitchforks though so annoying those guys do not deserve to surrender

[stark moss]

spear users do not come back with a pulse

[ember zephyr]

why do i sometimes get rank progress lost then other times just get teleported to void?

sometimes really helpful to only lose 1 progress

[solemn holly]

you lose progress if you surrender or go unconscious
you get teleported to the void if you die

[ember zephyr]

oh ty

[pearl ferry]

typically if you sustain blunt damage you go unconscious

[ember zephyr]

never surrender though there is always a chance

[stark moss]

if you get hit with a candleholder you get much more than a concussion

[pearl ferry]

well thats because the candlestick has the compressed power of the sun

[solemn holly]

it's actually a pretty viable tactic to surrender

[thorn sky]

are there any plans for the full release?

[solemn holly]

losing 1 rank point instead of risking being sent to the very beginning is a good trade

[pearl ferry]

when an item gets heavy enough it just starts tearing u apart

[small dove]

i just clicked on the play button and then i went into a 1v1 against the baron 😭

[pearl ferry]

lock in

[stark moss]

winnable

[small dove]

i died

[stark moss]

why am i so bad at counterattacking 😭

i can parry but not counter whatsoever

[ember zephyr]

i just died to the fence after winning smh

oh nvm it was such a close call

i swear fence does more damage than a sword

[wooden socket]

inhale the spores, the Fungus will guide you...

[stark moss]

the fence is the only thing stronger than the candleholder

that damn fence

[solar nest]

how does this even happen

[small dove]

i dont know

i just booted up the game

went on commoner with a sword

and then clicked play

[solar nest]

[stark moss]

always the onehanders

[small dove]

aight, so if you're on the final challenge or whtvr it was called, and then go on a tier in free mode, then when you restart the game you can play with that tier and the weapon against baron in a 1v1

im gonna try to baron vs baron 1v1

it would be funny

atleast thats how i think it works?

nvm 💔

im stupid

[lean jasper]

ive been trying to beat the ultimate challenge for 2 months now, any advice?

[stark moss]

i would NEVER lose to 1h

[stark moss]

play like a dick

abuse the good weapons

[small dove]

bonk....
bonk 2x

[lean jasper]

i try to use exclusively polearms

[stark moss]

you should abuse spears then try to blunt the armored enemies

[lean jasper]

one of the big problems is it crashing

[stark moss]

actually you can kill the baron by whacking him with a spear

[stark moss]

are you on dx12 by chance

[small dove]

turn blood down to 0

[lean jasper]

i have it on the mid setting so it doesnt really anymore

[lean jasper]

lemme check

im on dx11

[stark moss]

ah

then just turn down blood

[lean jasper]

ive gotten quite literally 100 good runs that got ruined by crashing

but i turned on my brain so its not a big issue anymore

[small dove]

what's a brain

[lean jasper]

my main problem now is how to deal with the games annoying mechanics

like when im using a voulgier the game randomly makes it so one of my arms goes free from the handle

is there a way to reduce the odds of that?

its ruined a ton of my runs

[small dove]

1st person so fun

[waxen lance]

I fucking love pommel strikes

[stark moss]

wish the camera was stabilized tho

[small dove]

idrc about the camera

as long as i can see what im doin

[waxen lance]

the human eye is a 3 plane stabilized organ

your view should be relatively stable if willy was human

[stark moss]

yeah but even walking looks like an earthquake

[stark moss]

IF

[small dove]

right in the heart

(not really)

[soft osprey]

No, and weapon glitches will continue until morale and fun improve

[small dove]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-accepting-fate-tiktok-at-peace-gif-567488341419321713

argh

[small dove]

wouldve been so cool if you hit his neck so it got cut off

[waxen lance]

I love full armor sword combat

[tender quest]

well i did go for it but the armour rng said no

[stark moss]

why does my guy pull back his sword whenever i try to do a parry stance

[waxen lance]

kinda like this?

[tender quest]

its the imdomitable spirit of willie trying to break free from player control

autoparry

[stark moss]

thats a thing?

[waxen lance]

thats the autoparry function, its uhh... kinda ruins most sword stances

except high guard

[stark moss]

any way to disable

[tender quest]

i wish

if anyone is good at diving into code, go find it 😄

[small dove]

[cunning aspen]

Oh right

Excuse me english good sire

[small dove]

This can not be forgiven!

Thy shall be punished rightfully.

[waxen lance]

Personally I hate the baron's polearm, its too big

Well

[small dove]

ik

its

a bit heavy

[waxen lance]

its mostly the hook at the bottom

ruins the hand swapping tech

[small dove]

its very, VERY heavy

makes it hard to use it like a normal polearm

[stark moss]

realistically speaking how heavy is the barons loadout

he should NOT be able to stand

[cunning aspen]

I use it in alt mode

[stark moss]

solid gold on everything

here's an old one of mine from a while back

[waxen lance]

its likely not solid gold

[small dove]

gold glaze

[stark moss]

i mean he is the baron for a reason

[vital dagger]

art

[stark moss]

dude is jacked up

[waxen lance]

it might be a golden brass glaze

golden brass

but its an 18th century metal

so

probably not

[waxen lance]

also I hate how the baron looks for the reason that he wears solid gold.

its ugly.

[vital dagger]

o shit

[small dove]

caught them in 4k

[waxen lance]

I go for a moreso gold and black look to my baron

[vital dagger]

anime fighr scene

[stark moss]

tiger drop

[waxen lance]

also you can wear a bevor and a armet at the same time

[small dove]

should've given up earlier so I didn't have to break half of his bones...

wild strikes from elden ring

[stark moss]

ouch

[small dove]

he got seriously comboed

some of them really need to learn to give up

they ain't a anime protagonist

they ain't randomly gonna get a huge power up just because they fighting a foe stronger than them

[stark moss]

nah its fun when they let themselves get beat

[waxen lance]

I like hitting the ground with my sword because cool factor

[stark moss]

i want to see them resist

[neat jasper]

Make that Willie the definition of crunchy

[small dove]

yihihhee

[small dove]

nice double whack

[random cobalt]

can dismemberment chances be lowered

[silent stag]

lower gore

[random cobalt]

no..

the gore is the nice part

[tender quest]

having lower gore lowers the dismemberment

[silent stag]

No I mean lower gore on the gore slider in game settings

[silent stag]

yeah this

[small dove]

lovely

[silent stag]

I'd recommend just using gruesome preset and that's all

[random cobalt]

why is gore slider a hidden difficulty slider ):

[silent stag]

it isn't

[random cobalt]

you get dismembered more often

[silent stag]

you die anyway without dismemberment

it's just placebo effect

[random cobalt]

no!!

[silent stag]

[random cobalt]

lowest dmg + high gore = still arm cut off

its a difficulty!!

[silent stag]

then idk game being weird

[random cobalt]

also i get scratched and my leg gets atomised

[silent stag]

honestly dismemberment force requirement should be in the damage slider instead of gore slider

[stark moss]

gore should actually be gore

not dismemberment

i wanna see organs SPILLING when i cut someone in half

[random cobalt]

the sharp abyss weapons should be added to spoilance..

ongod

[silent stag]

the organs would also be cut in half

[small dove]

if i cut someone in half about where the heart or lungs are located, then i dont think their stomach and/or intestines would also be fully cut in half

[silent stag]

I thought you were talking about belly cut in half

[small dove]

I'm not even a part of this conversation

[stark moss]

and also wouldnt be hollow

[silent stag]

what even is inside organs..

[stark moss]

liquids n stuff

[silent stag]

wait we can eat liver right

[stark moss]

mostly lots of blood

[silent stag]

that means livers aren't hollow

[stark moss]

human liver?

[silent stag]

yeah we can also eat that

but I mean cow liver

[stark moss]

can but shouldnt

yeah cow liver

defenitely not hollow

[silent stag]

it's actually not dangerous unless you eat brains

we probably taste bad tho because we eat meat

[stark moss]

the liver is mostly just tissue

[silent stag]

oh nevermind apparently human liver has too much vitamin A to be good for you

(it's toxic)

[stark moss]

oh who wouldve thought

[small dove]

vitamin A deficiency people:

hamer

a

[idle crane]

Can we not talk about eating people

[silent stag]

why

[cinder oak]

Hi people!! Does anybody knows how to download the game? I can only download the demo

[balmy kraken]

the demo is the game i believe, for now at least

[little verge]

The demo is all that is available at this time.

Early Access is scheduled for release Q4 of this year.

[cinder oak]

Ohh ok ok

Thankss 🫶

[tender topaz]

wth

why does the sound get so weird when they get sliced btw

(man is still alive rn somehow)

kill cam lol

also why does the game sometimes just randomly decide to be supper laggy but other times very smooth

[fast plover]

Yuh

[muted dew]

Agressive vibe chack

[shell bronze]

literally the most bullshit ass force pull on that spear guy 😂

also this is a PHAT longsword

like DAMN

[humble bloom]

Theres two willies, but with their mesh culled to give the illusion of two cut parts
And I guess only one end can play the sound, but it's cutting in and out rapidly because it wants to play sound from one half, system realizes it can't, so it's muted, and it cuts back to the other half but continues attempting the other half for some reason.

[tender topaz]

ah dang

[shell bronze]

yeah it usually happens when they get directly cut in half either horizontally or vertically

[fair summit]

why the fuck is damage on the baron fight so stupid

i did this fight a few months ago and it was just fine, now i step on a knife my leg gets fucking sliced off

[wheat gust]

do yall think its possible to make a gun in hs?

i think its possible

[opal sundial]

someone kinda made one a while back

[simple python]

Hey guys

[opal sundial]

it was just a feature that allowed you to spawn like a sword that would be thrown forward really fast

[simple python]

Where do I look for my ingame screenshots?

[wheat gust]

yeah but im talking about a weapon that shoots things like that

but it would kinda be like that

basically it just threw a really small kinife's blade

just the blade

[opal sundial]

yeah

[wheat gust]

on the press of a button

[opal sundial]

I was just bringing up a similar concept

[wheat gust]

yeah

[humble bloom]

are you using the grotesque gore preset?

[stiff belfry]

does turning blood up increase the frequency of blood along with spawning more physically, or just spawn more?

like, i fi turn blood up will i get more cuts in fistplay?

[compact pond]

Gimme update pless asking day#2

;pppp

[summer brook]

i think it just spawns more blood

[idle crane]

Gore deals with cuts. Tho idk if it deals if shallow cuts or just flaying and dismembering cuts

[mint loom]

More gore = higher chance of getting cuts

[bronze brook]

are there plans to have more body types?

would be interesting to see how a 300 lb bloke in armor would fair against a regular character

[idle crane]

does the censor bar mean Willie will have a willie?

yes, but its broken as of now or it would have been placed verically.

[mental cargo]

How do you put videos in here

[mint wadi]

hey what katana do you use @ivory hamlet

goddamnit wrong guy again

[mint wadi]

Hey what katana do you use

All the ones have don't have sheathes

[shell bronze]

vicious pack 2 katana

it doesn't sheathe

the sheathe you see in the clips is for the little ass wakizashi

[mint wadi]

Ah okay

I'm starting to kind of like the odachi

it's a little stupid feeling but fun when you do hit.

You gotta use halfsword enhancer and increase your strength and hand rigidity to use it.

I'm at 4x on both.

It's just so heavy.

The blade needs to be thinner.

It turns into a falchion lol

[willow dagger]

anyone know why id be crashing so much?

[mint wadi]

Turn your blood down.

[opal sundial]

you'll die if you do this though

[mint wadi]

the odachi is so cool man

[opal sundial]

too little blood

[mental kelp]

disarm

[mint wadi]

unfortunate. For him.

[fierce acorn]

feature

[mint wadi]

Militus I always like your pre-parries

I don't know what they're called

[dawn plinth]

me 2

[mint wadi]

But you line the weapon up with theirs so they can't swing.

Also why can my willie beat ultra instinct goku

[tender quest]

i think its called passive blocking or something like that, or im entirely wrong lol

[summer brook]

as soon as he got stabbed his face got bruised

[shell bronze]

me and my PHAT ass longsword

yes this is somehow still a longsword

[mint wadi]

The weirdest ones for me are the ones that go from crazy wide to skinny

[soft osprey]

Please don’t tell him what to do

You can’t just bully people

[mint wadi]

This one.

[mint wadi]

I am getting very tired of explaining why they have to turn the blood down or why it crashes so I'm just going to tell people what to do.

[shell bronze]

the commoner special

[mint wadi]

It does crazy work as a 1 handed weapon

[atomic loom]

impressive

[shell bronze]

try spawning a bunch of high tier bastard swords in and pick the smallest lightest one

those FUCK

as one handed weapons

i use it for my militia sword and shield build in case i need to go 2 handed against longsword guys

[mint wadi]

These do fuck.

[shell bronze]

those hand and a halfs are brutal

[mint wadi]

Also that first slash was slick as hell lol

Felt like a fencing movie slash

https://tenor.com/view/zorro-sword-gif-16835158829204076164

This is unironically the fastest sword in the game.

Also got a fatality combo on his ass.

[proper palm]

Anyway to fix a bug?

[mint wadi]

initial unsheathe leg cut, then hand removal, then body removal.

[proper palm]

Know how you see those tiny dots of blood whenever you poke someone?

[mint wadi]

yes

[proper palm]

I don’t have those dots

I reinstalled my game

Verified its files

[mint wadi]

Is your blood on

[proper palm]

Yes

[mint wadi]

Do you have updated drivers

[proper palm]

How do I update my drivers?

Windows 11

[mint wadi]

I assume you have a graphics card

[proper palm]

Yea

[mint wadi]

Update the drivers for it.

[proper palm]

Where do I do that?

Settings?

[mint wadi]

is it an amd or nvidia

[proper palm]

Amd sadly

[mint wadi]

wth amd is great don't even

[proper palm]

It forces the games settings to be geeked

[mint wadi]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esx7zpIP9fM

[proper palm]

I was playing tear down and it made it 100% laggier

Okay

I’m gonna try that

If it doesn’t work

Any other suggestions?

[shell bronze]

damn that was close

that was almost a perfect run but i was stupid

[proper palm]

up to date

[warped apex]

Threw my sword into the air again into a block

[shell bronze]

oops

[warped apex]

he was at fault he walked into it

[proper palm]

the dots still arent there

any other suggestions to fix the bug?

[urban jackal]

i wish they had a brain model

[proper palm]

@mint wadi

[mint wadi]

No idea, man. Sounds like a specific issue with your build.

[proper palm]

got any setting changes i could fix on amd?

[urban jackal]

[shell bronze]

lowkey anticlimactic i wish he kept fighting so i could use his mace to beat him

[pearl ferry]

what it feels like to wake up on monday

[mint wadi]

This felt pretty cinematic.

[mint wadi]

I was SO hoping for a decapitation at the end lol

[pearl ferry]

me too but we cant all be winners

i fricking love this axe thing though its so fun

[shell bronze]

physics jank

[mint wadi]

Look at this cool pose I got lol

How I got the pose:

[mint wadi]

imo the video is cooler cause he bleeds out right onto me/the ground

[urban jackal]

i love this game

hoping the gore gets upgraded at full release

[shell bronze]

this is why you cover your back kids

[mellow atlas]

Am I supposed to spawn with weapons during solo battles or do I just have to keep knocking these guys teeth out with my hands? Finally made it to the sickle boss the first time and also had no weapons and just got sliced right in half lol

[lavish summit]

real

speaking of, when is the game going to be full release?

[urban jackal]

some time this year

[mint wadi]

Here's an old teaser image. Certain it will change but definitely expect it to be more realistic and crazy.

[lavish summit]

is there like a q&a that answers questions regarding the games development

[urban jackal]

i love that

[lavish summit]

damn that looks nice

[mint wadi]

yeah and that's old

like year and a half+

[urban jackal]

theyll def release a brain model

[lavish summit]

i'd be fine with it if the gore was just that

[urban jackal]

ill be needing a pc upgrade by then

[lavish summit]

my pcs fine

it can run carnage with cinematic smoothly

[shell bronze]

when in doubt against shield people swing left until it sticks

[shell bronze]

that looks like so much fun holy shit

[mint wadi]

That's what I dislike about fighting shields.

They're not very fun to fight against the big ones.

[fierce acorn]

so cool

[fierce acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/cocooning-black-and-white-evolution-gif-16648482

[mint wadi]

I feel like you should be able to kick their shield have the energy transfer into their arm and hurt it.

[fierce acorn]

looks great tho

oh god his eye

[mint wadi]

WHY WON'T YOU DIIIIEEE

[elfin abyss]

BRO'S GOT HIS LITTLE WILLIE OUT!

[proper palm]

Looks like a shotgun wound

[torn hemlock]

How do people have the multiplayer?

[mint wadi]

No one has multiplayer

[shell bronze]

if you do a spin kick right when they're stunned/semi stunned you can hook your leg against their shield and disarm

[torn hemlock]

The demo is fire

[proper palm]

People don’t have multiplayer

[mint wadi]

should keep that in mind.

[torn hemlock]

Oh

@mint wadi

[proper palm]

Nice

[mint wadi]

damn lol

shield-b-gone

[shell bronze]

the bigger shields do this much easier

small ones are tricky but at the same time you don't need to do stuff like that against them

[proper palm]

If my PC actually worked I would’ve been much happier with the blood

But the blood physics in my pc dont work as good.

[elfin abyss]

why did willie let his willet out

[wheat leaf]

she halfsword on my willie?

[tired fjord]

I don't know how I did this

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1027993622836166757/1397032844160929843/image.png?ex=68803fb9&is=687eee39&hm=a1a795a53df697ea1d8dd2371192b9154c35697b276448f5f0cf8e1bd5b1f5f9&

[misty raven]

how do i get the playtest if that still exists ._.

[short pagoda]

:D

[fallow stone]

it's a bug when you quickly switch ranks and then press play

[tired fjord]

thank you

[frail lantern]

What is y’all’s favorite beggar weapon? for me it’s the candle pole if you hit the Willy’s on the back of their with the stabby end neck it will insta kill them.

[lapis marsh]

long candlestick is honestly just a poor man's poleaxe

[frail lantern]

Yeah

[strange citrus]

67

[fathom bear]

[lost rover]

but it does work like a long lucerne

just alot worse at stabbing

and mediocre at smacking

[pearl ferry]

stick of inducing sleepy time

[lapis marsh]

a mimir

[naive holly]

End with a swift punch to the face

[strange citrus]

Sum times i liiek to do da gay tings

[proper palm]

yoo

you have that same bug where you can't see tghe dots of blood?

[naive holly]

Not a bug, just low/medium graphics dont puddle

[proper palm]

no t talking abt the puddle

but like

the dots

[naive holly]

Bc on high graphics theres tons of puddling

[naive holly]

Idk what you mean i see dots

[proper palm]

i don't have that for whatever reason

should i restart my game w/it on?

[lapis marsh]

Those are the blood spatters I’m pretty sure

[proper palm]

yea

[dire moon]

Why did u send it like this

[proper palm]

i can see the splatters better

but not like

realistic as shit

[lapis marsh]

That’s how it be sometimes

Fluid simulation sucks lmao

[proper palm]

but

w/almost every vid i see

i see bobby mcbloodshed losing 30 liters of blood with one graze wound with the most realistic looking blood in any game i've seen

[lapis marsh]

Bro has high blood pressure 💀

[fierce acorn]

guys i think my ram no pun intended decreased

wlw

[strange citrus]

I went to the supermarket to get some mangoes today but they only had 6 or 7 😔

[regal igloo]

Are there hidden mechanics?

Like if I kill a lot

When they ask for mercy

I’m more likely to get killed when I beg for mercy

[naive holly]

People have their gore and bloos sliders up p high

[naive holly]

Naur

[lapis marsh]

The only one I know of is if you hold a blade to an enemies neck for a period of time they automatically surrender

[fierce acorn]

resilient ass mf

[naive holly]

They do have varying levels of aggression that is random each time

[lapis marsh]

And some are also capable of withstanding more damage than others

[regal igloo]

Cool

[regal igloo]

I KNEW IT

cuz I be beating some mfs senseless

And they stay standing

[lapis marsh]

It do be like that sometimes

[fierce acorn]

yea

[warm void]

Most resillient mf.

[dull iron]

so easy

[shell bronze]

oops

[bold olive]

is there a way to replay the ultimate challenge without going through the gauntlet again?

[shell bronze]

those gedan no kamaes are fantastic against long weapons sheesh

[thorny wave]

is there a way to play half sword against a freiend?|

[rare scroll]

ive done it fellas

[thorny wave]

done what?

[rare scroll]

killed the gold bro

at the final gauntlet level

[thorny wave]

oh ye

[snow gulch]

we got eachother!

[humble harbor]

Me too gang

[warm void]

Impossible.

[humble harbor]

It would be cool but way too difficult to set up

At least with how the game and dev team is currently

[stone lintel]

Is it normal for the game to crash when fighting the baron

[lapis marsh]

Turn off blood

[stone lintel]

Thanks

[drowsy geode]

when update 😭

[cloud barn]

is there an exact year that half sword takes place in, or is it just generally 15th century

[steady arch]

does half sword even have lore?

[crude flower]

Willie sure does

[brave basalt]

why is willie killing all these people?!?!

[steady arch]

he is just a prisoner of war like the rest of people here, used for the joy of the king 😭

[brave basalt]

no hes not

wake up

[steady arch]

then he just finds it funny

[brave basalt]

willie solos your verse

[brave basalt]

why is he so realistic

[sweet hamlet]

If I'm understanding correctly, they want to cover #references♥_1450-1470

so that time period roughly

[cloud barn]

ah I see, thank you

[untold dragon]

It is so frustrating when you die because something's wrong with the map

tripping and getting stuck on invisible objects keeps happening and its just ruining everything

[wheat gust]

i wish someone made a physics related fighting gmae like htis except it was dinosaur themed

[shell bronze]

restart game and it should go away for another while

[dense bear]

[floral imp]

im in abyss

[shell bronze]

oh

yeah just give up

[floral imp]

yeah i got chopped

[mellow token]

I want people to mention the funniest kills they ever got in half sword

[mild marten]

I like this funny medieval game

[mellow token]

mine was I was a farmer stabbed someone with the pitch fork in the thoat he fell to the ground died instantly so I let go of the pitch fork and I decided to grab it again it flung him in the air and I couldn't find the body in the arena so I used the camera to try and find him and he was way up on the walk way around the top of the arena where people would stand to watch

I posted the images of this in the server lol

in the photography page

I hope the devs keep the funny bugs that happen when you leave a weapon inside a enemy by letting go and picking it back up while it is still inside of them it is crazy fun to do I sughest trying it with pikes pitch firks or any weapon that has a long reach to it

[tight isle]

they fear me

[wooden socket]

chat i think willie might be superhuman

[wooden socket]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kGCcbaRErVvppsg2c?invite=cr-MSxJUm0sMjAxNDg5MDU0

wouldve probably been a kill without the no pain setting

[wooden socket]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kJmPSVKJQEUBe2VJc?invite=cr-MSwwdTYsMjAxNDg5MDU0

[mellow token]

dang

[shell bronze]

only a fool would use it and only a fool would attack one using it

[floral imp]

this is the only time i have gotten a dismemberment on knight

[random flume]

i hate getting insta killed by the fucking fence

[midnight jasper]

chat, I want you to say what are the best and the worst weapons in the game. (okay the best is candleholder 100%, so im mainly intersted in the worst)

[idle crane]

Worst is the small farmers billhook in peasant tier

Imo

[wheat gust]

why does halfsword crash in the baron tier

[idle crane]

Turn blood off. There is an issue with a 3rd party plugin they use for blood. So they have to make their own.

[wheat gust]

no thoughts, head empty

[midnight jasper]

i guess thats because bodies dissolve after death? or just to much blood

[wheat gust]

do you knwo how to make custom weapons btw

[midnight jasper]

eh i wish i knew, i want to add LotR swords into the game.

already made models in blender but no idea how to add that into the game.

[wheat gust]

hes holding a chunk of his own head

[low copper]

came here to ask the same rip. game is basically unplayable without gore or blood i cant tell whats happening

do i lose the final tier if i die in it? I want to play but dont want to risk dying cause i cant see how hurt i am

[fair summit]

if u crash/die u just go back to the menu and start fight over

[low copper]

if i die i dont go back to beggar*?

[fair summit]

idk how to say it, u dont lose ur tier, u just lose the final fight and have to do it again

the fight where u start with knife only and go against higher and higher enemies

[midnight jasper]

i found out that willie is actually the razor princess. woah

[low copper]

makes sense thank you

[solemn holly]

the game saves at the final tier

[fair summit]

is baron fight bugged atm?

[analog zenith]

no and he is easy kill

[fair summit]

i feel like damage is way off, my arms sometimes give up for no reason, or getting hit with the stick of the spear causes my character to almost die xD

[analog zenith]

if you get arm barred he can break them

just aim for all the weak spots then easy kill like 10 mins for me

[fair summit]

my game is fucking bugged then

[low copper]

i just got a super lucky hit on the baron and knocked him over lmao

[fair summit]

i played this fight a couple months ago and it was stupid hard, but playable. Now its unplayable for me

rushed spearmen and got killed with the blunt end of the spear xD

or generally kicking, kicks are 3x deadlier than normal, ofc only to me not to them xD

[midnight jasper]

i just stabbed him into his armpit

and job done

but when he got his sword out it was scary

woah this game is so easy on GPU, only CPU is hindering my framerate

[idle crane]

Im not sure the exact detail. Only the info in this message #updates message

[midnight jasper]

and i need to clean gpu radiator, 71C is kinda to much

[idle crane]

You dont need to turn gore off. Only blood and if you make it to the ultimate challange you will keep your progress if you die unless a rare bug happens but thats not common so you should be fine

[gloomy slate]

did you guys know that you can recover faster from exhaustion by rapidly tapping right and left click but not moving the mouse ?

[dire portal]

fuck autoparry

[gloomy slate]

whats autoparry

[dire portal]

willie will automatically try to block attacks
you can see it more clearly if you just hold mouse1 in first person without moving the mouse

even more so if you're in ox guard

[gloomy slate]

havent noticed honestly

[midnight jasper]

its kind of helpful if you are low skill like me, but will mess up with your own movement if you already know what are you doing.

[dire portal]

Exactly

[midnight jasper]

honestly i should learn something about guards, mainly i stand in plow guard and strike after blocking an attack, but it works badly with commoner boss, he is too strong....

lmao. i didn't even hit him

what a coward

but be honest, he is quit that fight without even a bruise.

[dire portal]

What's the lowest tier that actual two hand longswords will appear

Commoner is always hand and a half

[small dove]

the earliest where 2 handed swords appear is commoner, but if you mean the actual big 2 handed swords, then im not sure

[dire portal]

Nah this is a hand and a half

[latent moon]

arm obliterrator

[dire portal]

this is what actual 2h swords look like

[small dove]

nmmmmmmmmmmmn

[dire portal]

It seems to be tier 5

[tight isle]

chat when ur using a polearm is the hand in the front or the back the dominant one

[small dove]

we love oversized swords

size matters

[dire portal]

in the back

[tight isle]

swag

cause lowkey ive been finding more success with lefthand dominant

[wind charm]

If I had of blinked

[latent moon]

what?

[autumn pier]

Did you use halfsword enhancer mod for that\

[latent moon]

had of is still not gramatically correct

[latent moon]

willie can tank anything except torso and heat hits bruh

[tight isle]

death by a thousand willies

[boreal path]

how autoparry feels changing my completely viable high guard into an entirely vertical guard that offers literally no value to any swordplay

[small dove]

im so very skilled

just grab their weapon and ora ora ora ora ora ora ora

[soft osprey]

I had of thrown rocks at you

[wind charm]

me trow rok you

[tight isle]

why is that guard even still in if when they get too close it just changes into a different guard

[small dove]

whats a Metrowrokyou

[pearl ferry]

fungus willie performs one armed stab

wdym "still in"

they cant remove a direction for your sword

[fringe spindle]

hii, what's the difference between half sword demo and half sword tech demo?

[boreal path]

there isnt one

[tight isle]

u just arent thinking outside of the box enough

[small dove]

pretty nice

[midnight jasper]

he wants to drag my axe into hell. im afraid of letting it go

[dire portal]

tip for when that happens: switch hands

If you let it go it'll be fine

[midnight jasper]

i know but this time even that wont help!

[tight isle]

double click m1

[midnight jasper]

nah, it is stuck forever now

good thing i have smaller spare axe

[wind charm]

I thought I'd show it because I thought it was funny

[tight isle]

throwing things at willie is half the fun

[soft osprey]

Self promo isnt insane!!!

[tight isle]

the self promo sent me to the psych ward

[stark moss]

how the FUCK do you parry low blows

[floral imp]

take that as a joke, im all for supporting youtubers

[wind charm]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1368875124975206460/1384709643497898024/Willieball.gif

[tight isle]

step 1
get rid of your nuts

[small dove]

big sword fun

small sword bad..

[wind charm]

second parry was a low left, the key is to beat him to it by reading his stance in relative distance to you and swing first. (In my opinion or somethin)

[small dove]

DAGGER FUN

[tight isle]

if i had a nickle for everytime my music synced up with the you win screen
id have 3 nickles which isnt alot but its more than you'd think

[stark moss]

2h sword vs 2h sword tho

[wind charm]

fine let me dig

[tight isle]

dig in yo butt

[small dove]

can someone send me a clip of someone kicking a weapon into the enemy and it actually hits the blade and pierces or cuts them?

[pearl ferry]

why is every server im in obsessed with saying some variation of dig in your butt

[tight isle]

mr kraaaaabs

start diggin in yo butt twiiiinnn

[small dove]

what are we talking about?

[pearl ferry]

Definitely not halfsword

[wind charm]

second parry was a low left

[tight isle]

yeah we're discussing if noelle will actually get with susie by chapter 7 or not

[stark moss]

so you just parry it with another low swsing

[pearl ferry]

like susie is gonna be alive in chapter 7

SOMEONE is going to die OR WORSE

[tight isle]

put in the cube

[pearl ferry]

no i dont think

[stark moss]

parrying in fp feels so ass

[tight isle]

its a death reveal in the prophecy but its just the gag from smiling friends where they fired tyler

[small dove]

hehehe

[floral imp]

dude i really wonder how the fuck people do this. like you'd think they do this irl or something

this shit seems so unreachable for me, and im kinda stuck on the same skill level

[wind charm]

the 2nd and 7th parry was a low, but I am already parrying it IN his windup and dont give him the chance to do anything

[small dove]

someone pls say something about this

[wind charm]

you know you've done something evil if he starts lagging the game like that

[midnight jasper]

oh no im on chapter 2... not being spoiled on deltarune challenge: extremely impossible

[dire portal]

same

[boreal path]

it's just a lot of subconscious archiving

[stark moss]

not a spoiler if we think about it

you never know what toby could pull

[boreal path]

brain makes a bunch of "if this, then that" the longer you play

[tight isle]

normies call it "muscle memory"
the cool kids call it the ken flow chart

[wind charm]

the truest true I've deemed truthful

[midnight jasper]

i'll guess, same thing with ultrakill. no one knows what coming next

[small dove]

theres not a star man

[stark moss]

i suck at parrying anything other than overheads

[small dove]

its not hard to parry

[midnight jasper]

most of the times npc show in what direction they will attack, simply look how they hold their weapon

[fierce solar]

https://tenor.com/view/grenade-fail-grenade-fail-military-gif-22979200

even a door can parry

[midnight jasper]

but when npc behaves as player and just swings a lot.... uh i can do nothing

[boreal path]

just focus on displacing their weapon or shallow targets, dont try to "block" as much as seeing their weapon as a target that needs to be dealt with

[wind charm]

it's also good to know when they miss.

[dire portal]

you can also usually tell when they're about to try a thrust

[stark moss]

i might be noticing

[fierce solar]

ye, you can defend against swinging by swinging back at them (clashing blades or trying to keep their arms trapped whether that be by your weapon or their own arms caught up inside themselves)

[boreal path]

willie has weak wrists and if you try to JUST parry, a lot of the time he'll give his leverage up immediately or get riposte'd

[fierce solar]

if you dont want to do the rp parry/riposte

[stark moss]

my counterattacks are sloppy though

[fierce solar]

you can even guide their sword/arms around by catching their sword/weapon/etc and lifting

[stark moss]

i usually get my hand sliced off when trying to riposte

[fierce solar]

half swording = easiest to parry with

can use it to catch the blade then slide the point in their face

[midnight jasper]

*don't forget arms protection

[boreal path]

how are you trying to do it

the answer is you're probably too close

[stark moss]

just swinging back

[tight isle]

or join the church of polearms so u just have a giant hunk of wood to block/parry/style with

[fierce solar]

yes, join church of the large baseball bat

and bonk 4head

[wind charm]

true

[small dove]

how many hours yall got on halfsword

[wind charm]

3

[small dove]

00?

[stark moss]

46

[dire portal]

56

[tight isle]

like 0.00001

[midnight jasper]

60

[small dove]

i just hit 69

[boreal path]

around 900 across the versions

[small dove]

ah right

[wind charm]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-avengers-infinity-war-mind-stone-last-stone-infinity-gauntlet-gif-15735729

[tight isle]

i know so many things in theory im just not the most mechnically gifted with the mouse aim so i miss so many things

[boreal path]

wait am i dumb

[small dove]

i should have close to 90 if i count all versions i have played on

[boreal path]

that might be wrong

nevermind not dumb it's like 550 and 330 respectively

[tight isle]

woaw

i think i just barely hit 330 with both versions

[boreal path]

it's very easy to, willie doesnt really cut like you would in real life

[pearl ferry]

thats not a spoiler

it's just a prediction

[stark moss]

i wish npcs didnt swing wildly

[tight isle]

its a game theory....

[wind charm]

I'm about 720 hours in, I'm gaining on you.

[boreal path]

yep, when AI and sword stuff gets fined tuned it'll be a blast

[fierce solar]

almost 100 in 50~ days

[boreal path]

the basics are there it's just the in depth handling of swords and thought processes that are both encouraged and portrayed need an overhaul

the more practical experience i get the less half sword feels like a "fencing game"

[tight isle]

i love that with the lucerne u can kinda just yoink their weapons

[dire portal]

the first thing that has to be done is make autoparry a setting

[fierce solar]

by practical you mean the game's engine's mechanics as opposed to what they want you to do?

[boreal path]

100% lol

[boreal path]

by practical i mean sword fighting in real life

[wind charm]

you're right I nearly did hit the fence as I was launched into the air

[tight isle]

i need to get into hema irl

[boreal path]

as i have learned more in real world swordplay there has been a greater disconnect between my mindset in half sword and my mindset in real life, because the enemy and your sword simply don't act like they should in a lot of ways

it's all very wiggly and there's a lacking amount of leverage and proper flow of force

[dire portal]

zero tip control

unless you're halfswording or double clicking but those have to be conscious things

[boreal path]

it feels a lot less like your character is moving the sword and a lot more like the sword is moving your character

[wind charm]

Lies, this game is the absolute best simulator of realism and 1 to 1 HEMA fencing!

[dire portal]

for me the itch demo feels like that but not as much the steam demo

[boreal path]

i think its just that your character's joints are never truly engaged

[dire portal]

Wait there's a can not get up thing?

[wind charm]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-lol-haha-so-funny-funny-gif-15155799540154128453

[dire portal]

i keep subconsciously chopping off willie's willy

[pearl ferry]

dont worry he is a fungus so he has nothing there

[boreal path]

and also i've noticed he uses his wrists a lot more than he should be, a lot of the main "guards" are inhibited by his wrists doing all the work

[dire portal]

not anymore

[wind charm]

it's an old clip, just like this classic

[stark moss]

first person feels like an earthquake

also range of motion feels rather limited

[dire portal]

once the ai is better, autoparry is disableable, and you can mordschlag i'll be happy

[boreal path]

i think a big issue is that willie is trying to control the hilt more than the blade if that makes sense

your mouse affects a lot less than what would be most practical

[midnight jasper]

his wrist is so weak that this poor willie has zero tip control lmao

[dire portal]

True, he has like zero sense of edge alignment and no tip control

[boreal path]

it's hard to maintain a good cut because your character's joints are always engaged the least they physically could be to complete the action and it results in floppy hard-to-predictness

[midnight jasper]

that's what i felt immediately even without any experience to sword fighting both in game and irl.
irl I'd imagine you move more like a point of a blade (1\3 closer to a hilt) not hilt itself like in game. idk how to explain.

and that is kinda makes maces weird in-game, too wobbly.

[wind charm]

I don't use swords all that often, but I have learnt that timing left alt can increase tip accuracy. (it's really fucking hard)

[pearl ferry]

You wield that sword like a bat my friend

[boreal path]

left alt is the only way to cut like an actual cut

[dire portal]

Also double clicking

[wind charm]

i did say that I use dont* swords all that often (I did say that I don't use swords all that often)

[boreal path]

i just played around with my feder a little and my theory was correct, if you engage your joints the literal bare minimum required you move exactly like willie

[pearl ferry]

hey; a bat can still kill

[dire portal]

it's hard to do like an overhead stab because 50% of the time the edge alignment goes out of wack because of having your mouse on the right side

[proven verge]

Start low then go high!

Dual wielding is a slept on aspect of this game

[boreal path]

try holding alt and throwing the tip forward
