halfsword-chat-⚔

[tough yew]

its quite the spectacle thinking about how fatal error has been daunting half sword devs since the abyss version

[digital epoch]

I did bug report and the text I putted on the bug report disapeard

[primal beacon]

guys how to open half sword enhancer?

[jolly gorge]

Just won a brave stand as a peasant

[primal beacon]

thanks i already know, i just thinked that this is in the game not the mod

[shell bronze]

wsg

nice

[jolly gorge]

I made it to knight tier

[naive granite]

for the love of god

do me no harm

[pearl ferry]

poleaxe and dagger as secondary only gambeson for armor

[granite sigil]

Go into knight tier naked with fists

You got this champ

[simple vale]

a coo ldetail i'd like to see is the abyss bosses coming in with blood already on their weapons and clothes to suggest they've also been going through the abyss like you have

[manic sinew]

How do I download the game

[simple vale]

the demo is free on steam rn

[manic sinew]

Yea but how do I download play test

[simple vale]

the demo is the playtest

they merged

[manic sinew]

Oh

Good to know thank u bro

[simple vale]

np

[uneven galleon]

u get the point

[granite sigil]

If you prefer the playtest originally (it crashed less) then some old copies are floating around

[manic sinew]

Ty but I don’t want to go through extra steps I just really want to try out the game

[granite sigil]

Yeah fair enough its just frustrating when you love the game but it crashes so much because it beta

[pearl ferry]

those poor willies never stood a chance

well they did it seems

[karmic moat]

I hate this guy with the scythe

how am I supposed to block his attacks

[pearl ferry]

when he swings

move in on the outside of his scythe

[karmic moat]

like during the windup or after the attack?

[pearl ferry]

blocking isnt really a good idea since you'll just block the shaft of the weapon and then get lobotomized by the scythe

after the attack

when it's down to your left

you want to stay on the opposite side of the scythe

[karmic moat]

and how do I dodge without my guy tripping on himself

[pearl ferry]

hold shift for faster movement if you arent already

[karmic moat]

I hold s and let him come and swing

and then shift

like when the windup starts

but my guy keeps like getting stunned due to the fact that his legs cross

and he trips

[pearl ferry]

when he winds up that just means he has it primed to just swing down and chop you in half

if your character is havign trouble moving

you might be getting the flamingo legs glitch

restart ur game is only fix

[karmic moat]

maybe

Ill try restarting

[pearl ferry]

if he like crouches

randomly

then you're having flamingo legs

[north wigeon]

i agree

[shell bronze]

carnage so fun

[restive barn]

axes pmo

NOW you KNOW how it feels

[astral pendant]

They are making crossbows

i think

[supple grotto]

let me beat willie to death with a rock please god i want to feel his brains and blood on my hands as I drive this fragment of the earth deep into his face

[karmic moat]

gng why are all the bosses giant

[pearl ferry]

fisting willies

[karmic moat]

how am I supposed to get close enough the the guy with the longsword

When he literally one shots every single time

[uneven galleon]

parry

or dodge then attack

[pearl ferry]

if you wanna cheese it

[karmic moat]

How do I parry? His hits always overpower mine and just goes through anyways

[pearl ferry]

go into the tier with peasant pitchfork

you will outreach him

[karmic moat]

wait you can go the the same tier but with a lower tier you yourself?

[pearl ferry]

yea

and it gives you extra points too

[drowsy flint]

you cant with him

you kinda can, but

[karmic moat]

I wish I knew that, the pitchfork is so op

[pearl ferry]

you can if you're closer to the base of the sword

[drowsy flint]

its less parrying and more striking his weapon

[sweet hamlet]

I rarely try to parry that guy anymore, I just wait for him to overcommit to a swing and bumrush, it's still like 60/40 for me to succeed

[karmic moat]

Ive tried this but we both always die

Im gonna lock in

and try again

[sweet hamlet]

yeah you gotta get a good shot in that's more lethal than his, that's why I don't have a high success rate if he can get another swing in

[final meteor]

this fucking "ultimate challenge" BULLSHIT

FUCK

[restive barn]

krill issue

[pearl ferry]

if you can land 1 stab with the sword or any other pointed weapon you win

but yknow if you miss you die so

[final meteor]

IVE STARTED FROM SCRATCH GOING AGAINST A FUCKING GLAIVE WITH A MEAT CLEAVER IN THE ORIGIONAL DEMO AND BEAT IT

[karmic moat]

I did what stacia did and then stab

and thats when we both die

[final meteor]

THEN I START FROM SCRATCH IN THE BETA PLAYING THROUGH GOING AGAINST A GLAIVE WITH A MEAT CLEAVER AGAIN

AND I FUCKING BEAT IT

NOW I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN?

WHAT

THE

FUCK

LIKE HOW MANY TIMES ARE THE DEVS GONNA MAKE ME REPLAY THE WHOLE DAMN GAME

[drowsy flint]

its a demo calm down

[final meteor]

NO

[nocturne patio]

[final meteor]

I MEAN AT THIS POINT IM STILL WILLING TO PLAY THE GAME BUT I DONT KNOW HOW LONG UNTIL THIS SHIT JUST MADE ME TOO MAD

CAUSE ITS A GOOD GAME

[drowsy flint]

then dont play

its a tech demo

[humble bloom]

Bro if you already beat gauntlet you can literally just do anything else now.
Free mode, you have the baron tier, the abyss.

[north wigeon]

[cloud crater]

It’s supposed to be a challenge too

[north wigeon]

[final meteor]

[nocturne patio]

ty

[humble bloom]

He beat it but he seems to be mad that he beat it and is back at the beginning?!?!?

[north wigeon]

[jolly gorge]

Yes

[north wigeon]

[humble bloom]

You have free mode, the abyss, and a new tier in free mode.
You can download custom weapon loadouts on the nexus, maybe get the enhancer.
You have a few options beyond just the gauntlet and quitting.

[north wigeon]

or get a reverse grip dagger

[tough yew]

I got bored killing the gilded man by myself so I brought a few buddies to fend him off with me

[final meteor]

alright what the fuck is at the end of the ultimate challenge that could possible justify starting from scratch again for the third time?

[restive barn]

[north wigeon]

as if wha you did 5 minutes ago wasn’t even more annoying and embarrassing

sthu

[drowsy flint]

click view, tick the hidden files box

[restive barn]

why does the abyss not change no matter what graphics setting its in

[sleek gull]

My pooled saves is in my Documents folder

Users*****\Documents\OVRDTH'S SELECTION\pooled_saves

[restive barn]

is it using a different graphics thingy

directx

[drowsy flint]

if its a hidden file

if it isnt, then idk get better eyes ig XD

[final meteor]

you really think complaining about a game is more embarrassing than unironically using the phrase "crash out"?

[tough yew]

the pooled saves of mine

[north wigeon]

Yes

[final meteor]

like for real>

[north wigeon]

it’s a free game

a tech demo

[soft osprey]

I dunno, let’s not get personal though

[north wigeon]

[final meteor]

[final meteor]

[soft osprey]

Ah yes the glory of being a racist guy screaming the n word in public, truly something to aspire to be

[final meteor]

i know man

[restive barn]

me when i lowkey die at the abyss and lowkey leave the abyss and lowkey get softlocked😂 ✌️

good night

[soft osprey]

Being dramatic and toxic is one thing but your response here is pretty telling. Racism isn’t tolerated here, just be aware of that.

[odd kiln]

wait lowkey?

[final meteor]

didnt say anything racist

[drowsy flint]

omg imagine saying lowkey that many times unironically, gonna load up my shitfit cannon now broseph /s

[restive barn]

is ironic

[restive barn]

lowkey✌️ 😂

[drowsy flint]

oh ok ill put the safety back on then

[final meteor]

does thinking something is funny make me racist?

[soft osprey]

Yes obviously, I just said it’s not tolerated, you wouldn’t be here anymore. That’s why I’m saying now, dont say anything stupid. You’re saying you want to be like the racist guy, so.

[drowsy flint]

https://tenor.com/view/digg-digging-timbertramps-patchan-gif-5022752873029185193

just leave it lol

[soft osprey]

Im not sure how you want me to respond to this beyond, dont push it please

[shell bronze]

drop drop drop

drop a 50 bag for the mob in the spot

[drowsy flint]

uhhh

idk why hes not dead

my sword is jammed into his gut

i have no secondary weapon at this tier XD

punched him twice and he fell over and died so all good

[nocturne patio]

what happens after u kill baron

[tough yew]

You unlock the baron himself and have the option to play as him in freemode.

[nocturne patio]

is there anything else

[jolly gorge]

Chat I beat every tier with the peasant class

I did it

[tough yew]

dunno how you did it but grats on doing it

[shell bronze]

with the pitchfork i believe it

[jolly gorge]

Im insane

[shell bronze]

or just very well placed hoe/axe headshots

[jolly gorge]

Yes

I used pitchfork the whole time

The pitchfork can do bludgeoning attacks but its horrible at it

[shell bronze]

unironically a great demonstration of just how polearm meta works

reach is king

[jolly gorge]

Exactly

Next time Im gonna do it again but record it

The knight boss was PAINFUL

This is all to promote the add axes to commoner tier hashtag spread the word fr 💯💯

[nocturne patio]

imo pitchfork> commoner tier

[jolly gorge]

Or I can beat the game as a beggar

[nocturne patio]

whats the best faction

is it the red one

[jolly gorge]

Yellow one

Aka HRE

Literally just free stamina

[jolly gorge]

Bro couldnt help but admire the smooveness

[sleek gull]

Epic stare down lol.

[flint fox]

i yeeted the baron

baron bitchass

the golden turd

ngl though if it werent for his minions he would have been an easier fight than the previous boss, his armor is lowkey shitier than the knight boss - way more gaps

and a god-awful primary

[tough yew]

almost feels like a lighting in a bottle when you get a T8 knight kill like that

[trail pivot]

sure been a while since i had such a satisfying kill, especially with how i also continued the combo from the other guy

[stiff belfry]

38 Hard Willie’s have already joined AFC, halfswords first and only online competitive league that will begin when early access does, with fist play and weapons divisions.

[tough yew]

[jolly gorge]

[waxen tendon]

Any way to fix a fatal error or whatever that is? My game has crashed rougly like 20 times because of that

[wheat leaf]

Lower blood slider in the gore tab

[waxen tendon]

ty

you know how much? Like 50% or smth?

[pearl ferry]

set to dx 11

blood as low as possible

[waxen tendon]

Alr, I still dont get it tho, Im playing smoothly 120fps on high graphics and it still crashes randomly

[wheat leaf]

You on the ult challenge by any chance

[soft osprey]

It’s a game issue not a you issue

Blood has problems currently

[clear prawn]

ik this is prob a dumb question but how do you pick up weapons off the ground?

[solemn holly]

e and q

e for right hand and q for left

[supple bear]

*yo-

[waxen tendon]

Great I cant even play the game without it crashing every second

2 boss fights at the last rank or what is that and 2 times it crashed

[tough yew]

what graphic settings are you running?

[waxen tendon]

High

[tough yew]

dx12?

[waxen tendon]

dx11

[tough yew]

is the blood set to max or

[waxen tendon]

It was, I lowered it to like 20% and still crashes

[pliant ember]

i need help to mod i dont have pooled_saves folder

[tough yew]

Make windows show hidden files

[tough yew]

set it around the middle or so

[pliant ember]

how do i do that?

[tough yew]

are you windows 10 or 11?

[pliant ember]

10

[waxen tendon]

alr

Ima try it

[tough yew]

open file explorer, click 'view' at the top and on the right there should be a 'hidden items' checkbox.

folders that are hidden will be a darker color.

[polar hemlock]

wow i got fucked

[tough yew]

That would be putting it lightly lol

pretty much skinned you so gg

[polar hemlock]

i have never seen my entire back get cut off

[pliant ember]

ure my hero

[shell bronze]

happens to me a lot when i get half sworded by armored dudes

[polar hemlock]

see i just half sword them first usually

[tired rune]

Is the baron worth it

[waxen tendon]

still crashed

like 2 minutes of gameplay

[tired rune]

All i did was put the quality on medium and put the gore to minimum and it didnt crash again

[polar hemlock]

im learning

[waxen tendon]

I dont really find the game enjoyable on such low graphics tho, my pc should be fine handling high graphics

[solemn holly]

the crashing is caused by the blood, not the graphics

[tired rune]

Oh

Yeah then just put the gore to minimum

[soft osprey]

Gore is not the same as blood

They are separate settings

You need to turn blood off completely

Gore can be whatever as it affects dismemberment

[lime shell]

HOLY😭

[polar hemlock]

mf cut a whole steak outta my ass

[signal wedge]

You'll get perms at level 2 bro 😁

Just gotta chat some more

[wheat leaf]

that was actually 12 individual strikes in under a nanosecond, a hint of my power

[tough yew]

your sword packs a punch, ngl

[tender quest]

it sure do

[burnt smelt]

Yeah genuinely, the moment you're downed, you're pretty much screwed

[latent karma]

how do i get the sword to pierce the enemys armor

[opaque slate]

It's instant death. Hold G the second you fall and save yourself some time.

[latent karma]

sometimes i will get a limb cut off at like knight or baron so im wondering how you do that

[summer brook]

hit where there isnt armor then it will go through it

[latent karma]

no like the enemies can like

slice or hurt through your armor

so im wondering if i can do the same

[summer brook]

yeah

if you touch a small spot with no armor

and your weapon enters

it can go all the way through

[burnt smelt]

Cant' do that in the abyss

[opaque slate]

That's true.'

[burnt smelt]

EAsy enough to hit escape and quit to menu

[opaque slate]

Exactly.

[opaque slate]

That armor is sweet.

[tough yew]

It isn't meant to happen

[latent karma]

oh i thought like enemies could somehow pierce through your armor

because they would stab me at the chestplate and iwould get hurt enough that I have to give up

[waxen tendon]

the final boss is so annoying bro, he somehow cuts my head of with my full help wtf

[summer brook]

1. it slid to a spot with no armor
2. it clipped through

[opaque slate]

Would you say the gore level is almost a pseudo difficulty menu? Because I feel like the dismemberment makes it harder!

[latent karma]

ok but baron has full armor on the chest area

[tough yew]

if you make it grotesque the chances of you being split in half is quite common

[latent karma]

i dont see how i could get split in half if they got under my arm

[sleek gull]

[waxen tendon]

no

[fiery trout]

i hate mods and how they work fr

[waxen tendon]

My pc is completely fine, everything runs smooth and all that, pc doesnt overheat a single bit, yet it still crashes

[tough yew]

It'd still be good to know

[finite harbor]

[tough yew]

yeah thats probably unreal shitting itself

[finite harbor]

Is my cat

[waxen tendon]

?

[tough yew]

Not an issue on your end, But a game issue

[waxen tendon]

alr, hope it gets fixed soon

[wheat leaf]

its amazing how little you have to try when you got the reach advantage

[tough yew]

to be fair they didn't reaally focus much on the optimization part but that is to be planned for early access so fingers crossed

[small dove]

i like this game

[small dove]

hand hurt

[summer brook]

my game crashed

[silk fog]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kRE7AYB8rhsOvimYr?invite=cr-MSxQb0ksNDI3NTQ4NDI0&v=16

[true iron]

[digital epoch]

bro is just showing how to smach enemies to head

[waxen tendon]

I cant play the game without it crashing in a minute with the lowest blood settings, please fix this, I actually enjoy it and I want to play this (fatal error)

[digital epoch]

Have you vertified the game files?

[true iron]

low graphics?

[waxen tendon]

Huh?

[digital epoch]

Right click game then propeties then files and there is the button

[waxen tendon]

Well at that point I dont find the game enjoyable, I like when its a bit realistic

[true iron]

thats why your pc cant handle it

is your game on an ssd

or no

[waxen tendon]

My pc is more than good for ts

[waxen tendon]

what does that mean?

[true iron]

you hardrive

ssd is the best for games

[waxen tendon]

Where do I see that? And enable/disable it?

[true iron]

it matters what hard drive you have

[true iron]

[true iron]

game files

on steam

or you use the itch io version

[zealous saddle]

gggggggwhats yalls highest rrankk]

[wet stump]

slightest misstep is instant death and i cant practice cause it takes so long to get to him

[pastel rain]

why does blood splatter seem better did they update that at all?

[small dove]

bullying isnt funny even if its a joke

[solemn holly]

demo hasn't been updated since may

[pastel rain]

interesting

[wet stump]

sorry, didnt mean to sound like i was. in my mind, "yo mama" has just moved past actually insulting someone's mother due to extensive usage

[waxen tendon]

What do I press on steam after being in the properties?

[true iron]

wait ima open steam rq

[waxen tendon]

alr

[true iron]

press installed files

and verify files

[pastel rain]

is there a way to get rid of the bodies going underground in the abyss or is that the standard

[true iron]

standard

[pearl ferry]

john wick ass disarm

[wheat burrow]

anybody have a fix for the game crashing on start up. i get past the unreal logo and then i get a fatal error. ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling on both of my drives and nothing has worked

[waxen tendon]

Verified, Ima try it now

[pearl ferry]

verify integrity of game files

[true iron]

ngl the itch io version is better then the steam version

[waxen tendon]

I dont want to lose all of my progress tho

[wheat burrow]

just tried same thing

[true iron]

its not the same its like the old versions just 1vs1

and more maps

and you can costimise the gear you have

[waxen tendon]

ohhh

[solemn holly]

i wouldn't say it's objectively better

[pearl ferry]

yay

[true iron]

its not for most people better but i like it more

but still the demo is really good

i wish there was a 1vs1 mode online

but they have to like make some more things to balance the game first

[soft osprey]

Dont worry, bullying is fun

Dont listen to that nerd

[harsh imp]

never in a million years did i think i would hear this from a mod

[wet stump]

not really tho. there's a very big difference between light jokes at someone's expense and bullying.

[soft osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/ohh-you-got-soft-hands-ronnie-lee-david-rose-dan-levy-schitts-creek-gif-20101436

[small dove]

are you calling me a nerd

[wet stump]

though people often use the second one to refer to the first. i assume you did too, @soft osprey

[small dove]

ARE YOU CALLING ME A NERD

you make angy

[soft osprey]

I call it like I see it!!!

[soft osprey]

I didn’t read the conversation i just saw him say bullying isn’t funny

[small dove]

i will do bad things

[small dove]

its not funny tho

[wet stump]

then don't be condescending when your comments aren't recieved well.

[soft osprey]

Jesus y’all it was a joke

Refer to my soft hands gif

Must be your first day here

Welcome to halfcord

[waxen tendon]

After verifying the files with the lowest blood settings it still crashes cuz of the fatal error

[true iron]

damn then idk what is the probem

problem

sorry if bad spelling

[waxen tendon]

Ive seen it happening to other players too, if yall could figure it out it would be the best

[true iron]

wait so how many hard drives do you have

?

[waxen tendon]

2

[true iron]

ssd and hdd?

[waxen tendon]

SSD and NVMe

[true iron]

ok

what hard drive is it on

[waxen tendon]

How do I see that?

[true iron]

files explorer

or steam

[waxen tendon]

Where do I see it on steam? What do I click (Im not the best with pcs

[true iron]

kinda same

wait

[wet stump]

yeah but the joke wasn't really appropiate. it's like "it's just a prank bro". just because it was funny to you doesn't mean it was appropiate.

not mad btw neutral tone

[soft osprey]

Bruh I said, very obviously jokingly, bullying is fun. Relax. You yourself made a your mom joke, in response to him calling someone bad at the game for taking a while to beat the t3 boss. Y’all are hypocrite’s on a high horse right now

To say “ bullying isn’t funny” right after bullying someone

Wild stuff

[small dove]

man

i missed my opportunity

[waxen tendon]

?

[small dove]

to use this gif

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-fry-philip-j-fry-i-used-to-think-you-were-cool-cool-gif-23039247

I genuinely dislike hypocrites

[small dove]

whats a hypocrite

https://tenor.com/view/innocent-silly-it-wasnt-me-black-kid-gif-13276236495373339660

[true iron]

you need to check properties

and

[pearl ferry]

say something is bad and then do it yourself

[true iron]

installed files

[waxen tendon]

How tho

[true iron]

it will tell you

[waxen tendon]

oh alr

[pearl ferry]

anyways enough of this petty squabble watch this kill

[soft osprey]

Be careful im about to bully you to no end with a your mom joke, please don’t take it personal. Your mom.

[small dove]

die

[waxen tendon]

It should be on ssd

[true iron]

you need to press the lil settings thingy when you look at steam page

[soft osprey]

Willie’s cousin would never say something like this

[small dove]

who's willie

[soft osprey]

Don’t make me say it

[vital perch]

does he know

[small dove]

i wanna burp in someones face

[soft osprey]

Youre an evil man

[small dove]

i used to be worse

[soft osprey]

Would you say you were a bully?

[small dove]

no

more

uh

[signal wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/side-eye-suspicious-puppet-gif-2729624127692369191

[small dove]

phsycopath

[soft osprey]

Much easier to deal with

[small dove]

how do you spell psycopath omfg

pycolath

[soft osprey]

Yeah Thats it

You got it

[shell bronze]

that's it

[wet stump]

you saying bullying is fun was not the part that annoyed me. i only replied to that to clarify the difference between a light joke and and actual bullying. i made a your mom joke, it was not recieved well and i apologized before clarifying that it was not actually aimed at anyone's mother. i know im bad at the game cause i seem to be the only one with severe issues beating the t3 boss. i never intended to escalate anything, and you seem to be trying to. that is all. again, neutral tone. if i was actually mad i would not be using the chat.

[shell bronze]

perfect spelling

[wheat leaf]

pret sure its hippocrips

[soft osprey]

here we go

Let me read the essay

[shell bronze]

hippocratics

[wheat leaf]

Hypocrites sounds like a Latin name

[true iron]

best blocker ive seen

[soft osprey]

again it was a joke, Youre still trying to drag out drama Thats never existed. Like the other guy isn’t even upset

Just you

[near ocean]

Whats half sword supposed to be?
Right now its just an arena fighter (and a good one at that)
But what is the end goal?

[small dove]

im playing a pvp game rn and i have a trait that makes me 30% bigger and a skill that makes me 20% bigger, and im fighting a guy that has a trait that makes him 20% smaller

and its funny

so im saying that here

[soft osprey]

I’ll be real with you bud whatever else you have to say about this fake drama Youre tryna keep stirring up, I really don’t care anymore

So let’s move on

[small dove]

is there a drama thread?

[soft osprey]

I can make one

[small dove]

in situations like this we would need one

[wheat leaf]

soooooooo uh

which half of the sword do yall fw

[small dove]

pommel

[soft osprey]

Manufactured drama is key to halfcord after all

[small dove]

the pommel strikes are so satisfying

[wheat leaf]

oh you freaky huh

[small dove]

no

[true iron]

i like itch io a lil more then steam

[small dove]

i just like cracking the enemies' skulls open

[true iron]

like really lil

[small dove]

instead of cutting em open

its like smashing a watermelon instead of slicing it

[wet stump]

i know it was a joke but it wasnt recieved well tho. and i'm not dragging out drama i am trying to end it without just leaving and seeming annoying, so i clarify. also, i have autism so i am bad at picking up on when people are angry or not. so yes, let's move on. blah blah blah i didnt get the reference you seemed kind of obnoxious but weren't trying to be end of story

[small dove]

https://tenor.com/view/barley-wine-watermelon-gallagher-smash-mallet-gif-16239712

[soft osprey]

I hope you were around for the old demo to experience the head popping

[small dove]

i did

[wheat leaf]

real shit pommel strikes are peak when you land them right

[true iron]

hell yeah

best thing

[small dove]

i used to use that wooden mallet or whatever it was and keep whacking them in the head for minutes

just to get them to pop

[soft osprey]

Blah blah blah autism blah blah shush

[wheat leaf]

ive found a good technique for it actually, using Alt to initiate thrust stance from top guard generally seems to move the sword in the fastest most consistent way, so if you do it close to the enemy you slam their head at mach 2 and win

[small dove]

theres another guy involved in this?

who

[soft osprey]

My point exactly!

[shell bronze]

personally i just throw proper overheads

[true iron]

arent the mods required to handle the situation maturly?

[small dove]

no but seriously

i dont know

[wheat leaf]

YEAHHHHHHHH well your doing most things more proper-er mr proper fighter

[soft osprey]

No not when people drag out drama just for the sake of it

[small dove]

whos the other guy

is it me?

[true iron]

you are continuing

[soft osprey]

Yes tou were the other guy who doesn’t even care anymore

[true iron]

the drama

[soft osprey]

Please keep your opinion to yourself

Ive told him to cut it multiple times

[wheat leaf]

yknow what else is dragging?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW-

[true iron]

time him out

[shell bronze]

bro just pull the mouse down 🥀

[soft osprey]

At this point it’s heading there but I can’t just time people out for no reason, I need to actually be verbal first

[wet stump]

did you not read the message??? no seriously that was not my point i wasnt even dragging out drama i was just clarifying that im not a pretentious arse becasue it seems like you think i am. is it my tone? no seriously, im not mad, not annoyed, im just confused.

[wheat leaf]

if im holding the mouse slightly wrong itll fuck it up entirely unless i spend the next 80 hours perfecting it

[true iron]

a mod basilcy warned him and didnt stop valid reason

[wheat leaf]

yet if i have a good starting position, and press one button, i get the same outcome every time, whats the loss

[wet stump]

there is no drama the drama ended when you clarified it was a joke.

[shell bronze]

it's really not that bad i just spent an hour or two in commoner practicing popping heads

[soft osprey]

It’s okay bud we really don’t have to keep talking about it! I forgive you, ive decided you forgive me, we can let it go

[true iron]

clean

[wheat leaf]

and i did the same practicing with alt, its faster if done right

ALSO i believe better reach too as outstretched thrust puts both hands to the lower portion of the shaft for polearms, maybe swords too

[shell bronze]

edge alignment is also lowkey balls with that move

[wheat leaf]

then align the edge

if your homeless, buy a house

this is simple math dude

[true iron]

bro

[near ocean]

Does anyone know?

[shell bronze]

if you're slow go faster 😱😱

[true iron]

didnt bro say a word that is blocked

[soft osprey]

I don’t think Youre a pretentious ass either bud, That wasn’t my point. This is clearly a miscommunication

[wheat leaf]

SO WHAT IM SLOW MY MOM SAYS IT MAKES ME BEAUTIFUL

[shell bronze]

slow is smooth and smooth is fast

at least that's what they say.

[shell bronze]

dudes will do anything but talk about half sword in half sword channel in half sword server

[soft osprey]

Keep things halfsword related please clueless

[wheat leaf]

no yeah your totally right there, that applies to anything you do really

[wheat leaf]

BUT, sometimes, in variable randomized scenarios. ill take quick and good enough over smooth and potentially too slow

[shell bronze]

that's why my preferred version of that statement is slow is smooth and smooth becomes fast

[wet stump]

yeah like 99% of all drama is just miscommunication because text communication sucks 😭
anyway to keep it half sword related how do i beat that goddamned ragamuffin in t3

[shell bronze]

pitchfork always been the answer

next

[soft osprey]

Hit him before he hits you, and hit him harder than he hits you. Also a pitchfork

[tough yew]

lame just destroy him with a longsword

[wheat leaf]

ill show you slow and smooth

[soft osprey]

Pitchfork is strong af for some reason

[shell bronze]

the biblically accurate way is to use mace against him

but i heartily advise against this

[soft osprey]

Well I mean obviously metal spikes are strong but

[wet stump]

love how everyone tells me to just not play t3

[small dove]

did the drama end?

[wheat leaf]

yeah just skip that one

T3 mid anyways

[soft osprey]

It was until you came back

[soft osprey]

Now I have to keep it going

[small dove]

how

[wheat leaf]

oh word we got drama to reignite

[wet stump]

drama ended long ago it was all just miscommunication like 99% of all drama

[shell bronze]

yeah don't play t3

[true iron]

wow continuing it

damn

[shell bronze]

it sucks

[small dove]

i might just have to spam confused dog gif if you try to revive the drama

[true iron]

one of the most childish mods ive seen

[soft osprey]

Chat today is full of gullible goobers

[solemn holly]

https://cdn.7tv.app/emote/01JTA6SWH4MA14NYBB72DYJQHZ/2x.webp

[shell bronze]

t3 is the worst tier on planet earth

[wet stump]

atp im considering it

[shell bronze]

don't ever play it

[solemn holly]

did not mean to send this

[soft osprey]

Bro does NOT understand what a joke is

[lapis marsh]

What the fuck is goin on

[small dove]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-dog-hug-dog-question-mark-dog-question-mark-gif-14144426802562365039

[true iron]

joke is a argument ended and you say no cus you came back

[shell bronze]

on today's episode of halfcord we discuss moderator ragebait

(it works)

[soft osprey]

Joke is saying no cause you came back. Like it’s such an obvious fuckin joke i cant even understand how someone could read it and think it’s serious

[lapis marsh]

Ah, pain and suffering, my favourite flavours

[soft osprey]

Once again the guy it was directed to doesnt even care

[wet stump]

also when the moderator unintentionally ragebaits chat

[soft osprey]

But some random guy on the side chimes in

[true iron]

to a person who is not older than 16

[soft osprey]

???

[wheat leaf]

THEN ABOVE ALL MISTER MOAI why do you still care and continue the matter at hand

[lapis marsh]

Can we all just agree that this argument is stupid and go back to agreeing that poleaxes are goated

[wheat leaf]

im only seeing the moderator drag it atp

[true iron]

it didnt sound like a joke

[soft osprey]

Bruh chat is trippin out today. I can’t make any jokes at all

[true iron]

cus you are a mod buddy

mods provide help

[lapis marsh]

Can we just move on Istg

[wheat leaf]

like bro they pay you to deescalate, wyd right now

[soft osprey]

You think I get paid, I am very honored

[lapis marsh]

You’re also not deescalating

[waxen tendon]

If Im already at the latest arena in half sword, can I play other ones and die, when Im in the game where I need to do smth so my progress doesnt get reset can I die there?

[lapis marsh]

If you want the argument to end then stop talking

[soft osprey]

Y’all are seeing a mod make jokes because I’m a god damn human being

[wet stump]

i think everyone (including me) should copy @shell bronze 's pfp and nickname

[soft osprey]

And getting worked up

[wheat leaf]

when you blow on a fire it either goes out or gets bigger.

[soft osprey]

For other people

[true iron]

if its the last then if you die you can try again

[lapis marsh]

Tf does that mean

[true iron]

who are younger than 16

[wet stump]

fair but mods on this server are all goofy goobers

[shell bronze]

copy my playstyle too

[wheat leaf]

if you cant figure out what it means then you clearly have never lit a fucking fire before

[waxen tendon]

alr

[soft osprey]

I don’t understand why you keep bringing up age

[wheat leaf]

and thats embarrassing, ignite wood lil bro

[lapis marsh]

Not as I’ve seen

[shell bronze]

commoner vs the world

[lapis marsh]

The mods are pretty cool here

[shell bronze]

GOD DAMN HALFCORD WILDIN

EVERYBODY WANNA CATCH FADES

[wet stump]

yeah goofy goobers are cool but maybe lets just take this to #general-catfish-🐱🐟

[soft osprey]

Im just gonna leave chat, idk what y’all are trippin on today but this is extra as hell

[true iron]

cus at one age you become mature no?

[wet stump]

yes everyone please go trip in #general-catfish-🐱🐟 instead

[solemn holly]

i don't think you instantly become fully mature once you reach a specific age

[wet stump]

tried to lol but t3 boss sword too big

[true iron]

not fully but you understand what is right and what is wrong

[solemn holly]

there are young people who can be mature and older people who can be immature

[shell bronze]

don't parry the t3 boss lmao

terrible idea

[wet stump]

i copied you lol you told me to dodge and sent videos

[wheat leaf]

let him swing and miss, then rush in and muck em

[true iron]

best strat

[wheat leaf]

dont let him miss with his sword pointed straight down tho he'll just pull it up and obliterate your legs for no particular reason

[shell bronze]

just dodge and swipe

he easy

[wheat leaf]

he looks much easier in the clips

[true iron]

i wait for him to swing 2 times

and then

[wheat leaf]

usually he throws some janky followup thrust or swipe that rips a limb off

[true iron]

yeah

[wet stump]

oh, how the tables have turned

[shell bronze]

the flailing from him is the most dangerous

you gotta commit to a disarm/bind or rush way past his effective attack range

[wheat leaf]

no exactly yeah, theres just so much blade being waved around

[true iron]

how didnt you get cut in the first clip?

[wheat leaf]

once your past it youll prob be fine unless he goes halfsword

[shell bronze]

i hit his left arm

[wet stump]

why does the ai not know how to use a billhook

[shell bronze]

my fault right arm

i hit his right arm and immediately killed all momentum in his swing

always aim for his right arm/your left

[true iron]

the sword was on your leg and you like went back and it like should cut the leg or rip the clothing or the game isnt that realistic

[wheat leaf]

the game looks realistic but that doesnt mean it is

[shell bronze]

we can argue semantics here but he didn't cut my leg off and that's all that matters

[true iron]

yeah

[shell bronze]

i play on standard-75% player damage and max gore

[wet stump]

its pretty realistic except for the lack of arm movement and willie's floppy arm

[true iron]

yeah

[shell bronze]

realistically this is what a parry-heavy fight with the commoner looks like

[wheat leaf]

the gore/damage needs some work

[shell bronze]

and why i HEARTILY advise against it

[true iron]

yeah looks kind of wierd in my opinion yk

[wheat leaf]

granted gore has come a long way since they first added it, but still needs some tweaks

[true iron]

they should add like if you slice the face and it gives them a cut

[wet stump]

what i do in commoner to avoid being hit is the classic gaming counter heavy attack with light attack combo

cant attack if youre stabbed first

[shell bronze]

that's just bread and butter

most of my commoner fights end like a samurai duel

[true iron]

real

[wet stump]

someone's dead before anyone even knows wth happened

[shell bronze]

like this is how they end

1-2 dodges, 1-2 strikes

unless i decide i want to hit an unnecessary combo for fun

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1403186949707272213/7F21921.MP4?ex=68989d6e&is=68974bee&hm=9f99d34f84e1a7e239b300ea94adc758b6b8d4da78c537eaf3f4ed573dc7a5b0&

i pick a guard and play from it

[digital epoch]

Hey how can i get the new splitscreen working?

[soft osprey]

It’s only for the event currently. Early access will have split screen implemented

[digital epoch]

So its not real rn?

[soft osprey]

It’s real, it’s just only available at the gamescom booth

[digital epoch]

???

[soft osprey]

Did you even read the announcement

[digital epoch]

yes but i tough it mean the qr code

[digital epoch]

I dont understand

[soft osprey]

It’s an in person event

Showcasing games

[digital epoch]

so its... was just some place event thing........

[wet stump]

UHEHEUHEHEUHEEUHAEHAHA

[digital epoch]

I can do better

[wet stump]

second time ive beaten that ragamuffin in months

[wet stump]

also the second time today

[soft osprey]

Gamescom is a big event where developers get to show off their games, halfsword games has a booth there this year. Currently the split screen build is only available to people who go to the event in Germany, in person, and play the game there. For the rest of us, we have to wait until early access releases to try Splitscreen

[digital epoch]

Im just stupid

[soft osprey]

Nothing stupid about misunderstanding something

[wet stump]

not stupid just clueless

[rugged saffron]

Add more blood pls

[digital epoch]

No im just bad at reading english

[rugged saffron]

i need to feel the burn

[digital epoch]

go to settings

[wet stump]

clueless about english then

[rugged saffron]

not enough

[wet stump]

spray ketchup on your monitor

[digital epoch]

Im not the guy clueless

[rugged saffron]

[wet stump]

i just pulled some darth maul shi

[young ledge]

[wet stump]

[lapis marsh]

Imagine missing
This post was made by poleaxe gang

[wet stump]

hello mr poleaxe what do you think about your cousin mister long billhook

[lapis marsh]

[redacted]

[wet stump]

:0

but why

it's so cool and he can actually pull cut as opposed to every other weapon in this game

[lapis marsh]

No it was a good thing

[wet stump]

why did it get redacted then

[tranquil salmon]

The commoner final boss is kinda hard does anyone got tips

[lapis marsh]

You will never know

[lapis marsh]

Don’t get hit

[wet stump]

dont die that worked for me i just beat him for the second time today. and the second time in months

[lapis marsh]

Same brain

[tranquil salmon]

Oh alright

[wet stump]

but seriously he waits for like 7 hours between each series of attacks

[lapis marsh]

Those strikes have crazy power for such little wind up

Also that spin you did was fuckin crazy

[summer brook]

there is a decent wind up

his hands come all the way back

[lapis marsh]

The ones at five seconds

[summer brook]

the sword tip doesnt move very far but his hands move a lot

[wet stump]

where the hell is the video

gimme a moment

[lapis marsh]

Nah I see it

[wet stump]

really cause i dont

[lapis marsh]

Skill issue

[wet stump]

medieval maul but not the weapon

[wet stump]

The end is also very similar to maul's

[jolly gorge]

Pitchfork

[tranquil salmon]

Thanks for the tips I won

im not joking

i actually did

[calm coyote]

My Willie's started countering

[calm coyote]

For what

[slim socket]

does the game have a release date?

[small dove]

early access should be released Q4 of this year

so sometime in the next 4 months

[slim socket]

thx

[desert finch]

im hella excited for early access

im really curious to see what they do with the game

[small dove]

you dont have to tell me

most of the community that actually plays the game are all looking forward to it

[sweet hamlet]

shit, I've gotten an unfortunate habit of kicking when I go in for a swing

it works well most of the time but the rest I get my foot whacked because I went in to lethal range literally feet-first

[pearl ferry]

ice pick gripped my sword and stabbed someone in the throat with it

[analog stream]

I wonder if

On the early acess there will be stuff like if a guy loses a limb on a fight, on the next one they will still have that limb but with like ya know bandages and stuff

[sweet hamlet]

nah we're gonna be like Rayman, just a floating hand where an arm should be

[analog stream]

Yoooo

Gonna have knights looking like madness combat

[merry forum]

Dude

I just came here to say that Purple Willie is fucking GOATED

[analog stream]

Purple

[merry forum]

The ultimate Challenge fit Willie

[sweet hamlet]

goated reference actually

unrelated but there's something satisfying about these sorts of kills

[analog stream]

I love to stab in the face with the sword doing the long point

Its just so instant and clean

[wheat leaf]

Turn yo fov up

[sweet hamlet]

oh, that one was an experiment to see how low FOV looks like
