bro what

i cant even grab him without it letting go immediately how you throwin the mf

straight up braveheart'd his ass across the place

[leaden rapids]

I am NOT ready to deal with a crossbow😭 i still struggle against pitchforks

[tawdry vale]

Feigning a thrust usually works, switches them into defensive mode. Allows you time to move in with a half sword

[leaden rapids]

I usually just swing at the pitchfork until i knock it to the side but it doesint work sometime so ill try that

[tawdry vale]

You can do this with any weapon, even if it’s blunter than the average IQ of Willy

[warm void]

unoptimized blood

turn don the blood setting

same energy.

[odd imp]

ight

[valid pebble]

I always thought high sensitivity was the way to go but

I tried low sensitivity

And my weapons hit HARD

like instant knock outs first hit

[warm void]

lemme try it

[valid pebble]

I think since the swings are slower it collects more force

maybe that’s it

[warm void]

that makes no sense

[brazen forum]

why can't we halfsword the other way around? why is it on the rihgt side only?

[naive holly]

This is indeed a good question

[valid pebble]

lmao idk

[warm void]

probably either hard to code or the devs made it so you can 1 hand 2 handed weapons.

how yall doing anyways

[austere salmon]

no

[brazen forum]

bruh, I stabbed a guy in the face, they died and as they fell. the sword in their body I think hit me

[pearl ferry]

ever since stabing update lots of things magically og through armor if you hit at an angle

or hit from the side itll just clip into the armor

[brazen forum]

I clipped throught the armor on this other guy FROM THE FRONT

Has anyone figured out which half of the sword yet

[tame egret]

how do i make the game run smoothly with intel uhd graphics?

Appease the machine spirit

[crystal cape]

why does my game keep saying it has a fatal error

[cinder stone]

cause you killed it

Found the digital manuscript

[naive holly]

The best

[analog crane]

this game has a specific animation for falling upwards towards the atmosphere in reversed gravity, where willie flails his arms and legs while making a hilarious noise that i don't think is used elsewhere. half sword is absolute peak gaming

also jesus tapdancing christ fall damage injuries look brutal lmao

I'm going insane it feels like the character controller is refusing to wanna work with me right now

Trying to stand normally and the game just wants me to crouch

[weak wing]

i cant click the gore settings meaning i cant play the game at all

[exotic mulch]

I can never complete the ultimate challenge because the game inevitably encounters a fatal error. Is there a way to improve stability?

I would love if the game had like a open world or something like bannerlord that would be crazy hahhaha. i know its too much i ask for but imagine

Can’t wait for this, ive had it in my wishlist for so long

[pearl ferry]

false edge stab

[river haven]

diddyblud

[restive barn]

you cant stab with the false edge dingle

[pearl ferry]

i bring up the false edge AND THEN stab dingle

[restive barn]

you still cant stab with the false edge sneeble box

[pearl ferry]

False edge up > Stab

Dummy

[restive barn]

the video caption implies that you somehow stabbed with the false edge\

grepba

[pearl ferry]

false edge presented towards opponent

and then stab

dummy

[restive barn]

okay but you didnt stab WITH the false edge

which the title seems to imply

[pearl ferry]

the false edge goes in his eye first so actually I'm going to say I stabbed him with the false edge

Visual proof is right there soooo yeah you're wrong

[restive barn]

uhh

thats a technicallity

idfk

you win i guess

[pearl ferry]

Your whole point is based on semantics so thought I'd join in

[grim vine]

Hi guys im new

[restive barn]

hi new im chrome334

[grim vine]

.

lol

[sleek gull]

Can't stab with an edge.

[pearl ferry]

Just did

[sleek gull]

That is the tip, not the edge.

[grim vine]

(ノ_・。)

[pearl ferry]

the false edge is still on the inside of the line and I have no other better cooler names for it so that's what I'll call it until then

[sleek gull]

lol fair.

[restive barn]

i mean

yeah

[potent ledge]

Looks more like a “panic and stab the guy” stab to me but idk

Ok back to sleep

[tough yew]

wombo combo

[pearl ferry]

so good - i can do like 4 good swings with greatsword and then my carpal tunnel is like "slow down"

[tough yew]

thanks, pretty nice stab you did there bth

[restive barn]

is that the zweihander i made an eternity ago

[pearl ferry]

sometimes holding alt after a swing just magnetizes the sword into your opponent

its awesome

[restive barn]

yeah it is

[pearl ferry]

some active parries for the ladies

[restive barn]

laughables

[uneven galleon]

Is this gonna be like open world half sword??

[slate granite]

hm they seem to have a lil more facial expresion

[sleek gull]

Something like Total War or Mount and Blade meets Half Sword like combat

[slate granite]

or maybe its just cause i stabbed him

[uneven galleon]

Pyshics based?

[sleek gull]

NOt 100% sure on the level of ragdoll physicals there is.

[uneven galleon]

I mean like will moving the mouse around swing or will it be like click to swing

[sleek gull]

That is the Half Sword like part. Yeah, you swing with the mouse rather than a click.

[uneven galleon]

Awesome

I added itto my wishlist

[bold jacinth]

okay opinion, in any tier where clothing is at least 20% visible, spears and other long ranged weapons are the solution

this is the 5th fight in a row ive ended in under 10 seconds

i spoke too soon

[tranquil salmon]

Can you get a scythe as commoner

[slate granite]

since when do willies have lips

OH HELL NO

why does he look like a steak

[slate granite]

THIS IS EVEN WORSE

that 1 attack on titan titan

[bold jacinth]

this game gives me confidence no one has in real life

i just hit a guy so hard the physics engine ejected his helmet at the speed of sound

[slate granite]

how did that guy cut my legs of at the same time in 1 swing

i need my online mode already

lel

crazy miss

how does one even MISS that much

nvm

he didnt miss

[bold jacinth]

ballad of willie

[autumn shale]

Just ended a round immediately by putting my greatsword through a guy's eye. Probably the most visceral and unsettling slow kill outside of those times you get a quick throat cut

[bold jacinth]

ngl willie ai is getting better, this fight lasted 7 minutes and i got knocked down multiple times, stabbed, broken, the only thing keeping me alive was better armor and weapons

he actually aura farmed me. even in death he looked cool as hell

the man who refused to die

HOYL SHITHES STILL ALIVE WHAT

[bold jacinth]

how do i get that cold graphics look?

mine are very warm looking

suspect is.. not armed.?

[astral raven]

It’s cause a lower graphics settings

[tender quest]

DX12 on medium graphics

[astral raven]

It you put it on the highest the lighting bounces off the ground making it more warm from the color of the ground

man ..

[digital epoch]

What "lock on strenght" option do?

[slate granite]

how DOES THIS EVEN HAPPEN

[desert acorn]

gallivanting around

[analog zenith]

you guys like how i took apart this poor guy with a weapon that is usually blunt or does no damage

[slate granite]

i ripped his head of

sad

[desert acorn]

now that was a nice thrust

currently practicing my thrusts into left hand grab to push the sword deeper

[digital eagle]

what sensitivity is best?

[desert acorn]

lower is better generally

too high and you lose control and precision

it's much better to have a sligthly slower but smoother cut than a fast one you cant control

[digital eagle]

ok thanks

[sleek gull]

I look at it as a balance between mouse dpi and in game sensitivity.

If you have higher resolution, you may want a higher dpi.

Then you want to balance the in game sensitivity to what you are comfortable with for your style of play

I have a 2k monitor, I like 1600 dpi. Then I set the in game sensitivity to about 70%. (above default)

[tender flare]

ok guys im stuck on the ultimate challenge my game keeps crashing WHAT SHALL I DO

[little verge]

Disable blood.

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.

[tender flare]

is that guranteed to work or is it just lowering the chance

[little verge]

Depends on you system.

For most it ends the error.

[desert acorn]

it turns crashes from nearly guaranteed to fairly rare on most systems

[tender flare]

ok i think we should be good

thank you very much guys!!

[desert acorn]

still not satisfied with how I performed, still trying to get a nice fight that ends in a clean finish

but the way I finished this one off is something im practicing trying to get smoother

[digital eagle]

the bone snapping is brutal

[desert acorn]

it is!

[digital eagle]

i just kicked a dude in the leg and his knee went the wrong way...

[desert acorn]

managed to cut an arm off without incapacitating the guy

hes still fighting

<- Does not use Enhancer.

I use Trainer

[uneven galleon]

is there an exact release date for this

it looks very fun

[solemn holly]

not at the moment, but if i recall correctly, the devs said they want to get a demo out by this year

[uneven galleon]

yayayyay

[uneven galleon]

will it be multiplayer

[wheat leaf]

Yall rely on enhancements which makes you weak, what’s next? Halfsword enlargers?

[desert acorn]

the Full Sword mod

[wheat leaf]

That’s halfsword 2, don’t tell anyone that’s leaked information

[desert acorn]

then half sword 3 becomes Bastard Sword

and 4 will be Longsword

[wheat leaf]

Arming swords just an add on

[solemn holly]

no

[restive barn]

gn

[digital eagle]

most important question. Do you give them mercy?

[sleek gull]

When it is deserved

[wheat leaf]

If they aren’t too loud and if they didn’t give up after 1 hit

[tall dagger]

mercy killings for the strong. painful deaths for the weak.

[leaden lark]

halfsword is peak

[leaden lark]

how do you sheathe and unsheath swordas

[wheat leaf]

hold E

or Q if your freaky like that

[sleek gull]

This was my favorite part

[leaden lark]

tyty

[wheat leaf]

great now i wanna try using the sheath in combat, just got a katana mod ima do some anime moves

[leaden lark]

i love being a homeless guy with a pitchfork fighting knights

[sleek gull]

For real. Not only do you have to pull off the cuts and turns, but you need to add in well timed slow mo toggles that aren't exactly helping me loll

[ember sail]

how do you do the slowmo

[sleek gull]

It is the Time Control mod

[shell bronze]

it's not too bad

but iaijutsu is ineffective and is essentially just aura farming for no reason

[ember sail]

where can u download?

[true iron]

how is there a katana in the game or its a mod

ok

[waxen tendon]

When I have half sword enhanced and kill the opponent to spawn my own npcs, how do I remove the : You Won! Hold G to Continue

[lapis marsh]

I don’t think you can

[waxen tendon]

alr

[stone flare]

I have a big question

does half sword have lore?

[stiff belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-gif-9791600234365446047

[tender flare]

okay how bad am i if ive been trying to beat the ultimate challenge for like 3 hours

i think its time to retire

[stone flare]

Trust me, i am even worse.

[stiff belfry]

set player damage as low as possible and npc damage at max

and just clobber him

if your not trying to cheese it i beat him on normal damage bu just shooting a single leg takedown and standing on top of him so he couldnt get up while i beat his head in

[tender flare]

ok so i got to the baron

twice only

first time id ied immediately

second time i had an intense battle but i still died

all the other attempts i die before i get full armor

from those spikey stick or spear guys

especially

[stone flare]

I got decapitated in 20 seconds first time ive met him

[tender flare]

i might give it a few more tries before i give up or else im gona lose my mind

[lapis marsh]

Yeah he’s difficult

The only reason I beat him the first time was because he slipped and fell and I just beat the shit out of him

[tender flare]

ok i tried to cheese it but putting like

a million weapons on the floor and armor so that he trips

but it was in vain

[stone flare]

Would a poleaxe help with the baron?

[tender flare]

the issue for me mainly isnt the baron himself its getting to him

[jolly gorge]

I'm sure it would but I prefer the blanço

[tender flare]

because i always die on the 2 guys that spawn

cuz they always have long weapons

[stone flare]

Ah alr thanks

[jolly gorge]

bad rng but my advice is try to push the long weapon aside and then cut a limb with a sword or something like that

[sick cedar]

#work-in-progress will frank be added to the game? Big News...

[summer brook]

headbutt

[wheat leaf]

In a game as directionless as this, what else can you do but aura farm. What drives you to make all dem clean counters and clips day after day week after week

[stone umbra]

Aura farming for the love of the game

[wheat leaf]

You get to a point where getting the kill is pretty much guaranteed, you could just aim to kill first swing every time. But anyone that willingly tries to prolong a fight for more interactions is aura farming

[lapis marsh]

True

[twilit spade]

just found out you can break somebody neck in this game if you pole arm wreastle with em

you just have to alt hold you pole arm behind their head and the go normal hold onand swing and chance is you twist his neck of

[half pine]

Where do I get mods for halfsword?

[wheat leaf]

Googal

Nexusmods has most of em iirc

[young ledge]

Dude when am I going to be able to pick what game mode I want to play

I just want to spam brave stand but its only popped up o-nce in the last 15 mins

[wheat leaf]

Skill issue btw

[young ledge]

Real

[deep citrus]

Got far enough in abyss mode that it spawned two fucking Barons

[young ledge]

Morningstar and war hammers are so underrated

Right on the kisser

Yeh the polearms are brutal if you know how to use them

[glad python]

How do i reset my progress in gauntlet?

[barren hamlet]

Can we get some fucking armoured gloved in the Abyss early stages please? or increase drop rate? 9/10 times when i die its becasue of a lucky shot of an NPC cutting my hand off

[lapis marsh]

what weapons are you using when they do that?

[barren hamlet]

anything, whenever you swing you risk having hand cut off

ah i did not think of this. I will headbutt them instead

[wanton glacier]

Are UE5 "Fatal Error" crashes expected in the final version of the game for a 1080Ti or is it simply due to the demo not being as optimized?

I'm running fine on high settings until the crashes happen, usually only occurs when 3 NPC's are loaded at once

[native shoal]

The full sprint at the start with the buckler made me laugh pretty hard 😄

[wanton glacier]

Just quite annoying as the game is great but I really couldn't see myself switching out a single component just for that sake

[lapis marsh]

probably due to bad optimisation. particularly with blood

[native shoal]

The game is can be i have a 4070 super and it can stutter some times in places, but it is early days, so im sure optimizations are coming

[wanton glacier]

That was the initial thought I had as well, was just looking for more inside information on this matter as I would have no clue how they set it all up for a demo

[native shoal]

Yeah, its more of a game issue than your hardware (most cases) im sure, i wouldn't fret to much 😬

[wanton glacier]

Lovely, thanks for the help!

[wheat leaf]

I hate to be that guy but lucky shots don’t happen 9/10 times

[lapis marsh]

i was gonna say yeah. if it's 9/10 times then it's not likely to be lucky shots

[wheat leaf]

That kinda defeats the concept of luck

[lapis marsh]

i just didnt want to say 'skill issue' and look like a dick lol

[wheat leaf]

Realistically what’d be the best advice tho, if you don’t have the reach advantage keep your hands down or away while waiting to strike, if you do have the reach advantage keep your weapon ahead of you and your distance precise

If your hands are getting hit often it probably means your distance isn’t right or your timing is off, as it’d mean you think your out of range while your hands are exposed, or alternatively you don’t dodge or react in time to create a gap

[lapis marsh]

yeah you're probably too close if your hands are getting hit

[wheat leaf]

just kinda in that vague zone though imo, theres a wide variety of weapons ingame, each has a different range. the arms are tough to protect well as they are constantly flailing in and out of that range while your trying to keep your body safe. i tend to avoid forward/neutral weapon positioning for that reason, if the weapon hand is outstretched, you have to be aware of both distances you might be hit from, where if the weapon hand is close to or behind the body, you only have to think of one distance to keep

[unborn current]

[tender quest]

discombobulate

[wheat leaf]

The greatsword spends more time as a club than a sword and I love it

[forest falcon]

when r they updating bro

[small dove]

since when was this in the game?

[small dove]

early access

[wheat leaf]

A rondel?

It’s been here for a while hasn’t it?

[forest falcon]

?? wdym

[small dove]

in early access release

within the next 4 months

[forest falcon]

ohhh sick

i cant wait

[wheat leaf]

I know it’s been a thing at least as long as ovrdths peasant loadouts

[lapis marsh]

they gotta add bollocks daggers bro

[uneven galleon]

are there any good preset loadouts for ovrdth

[small dove]

i have never seen it in the game before

in my whole entire life

[wheat leaf]

All of them are pret good lowkey

[uneven galleon]

is this a preset

[wheat leaf]

He might’ve saved it for convenience sake but it looks like a base game spawn

[tender quest]

its my own loadout, its on nexusmods

[wheat leaf]

Man you look default as frick gotta up your fashion militus

Where the drip man

[tender quest]

being too drippy would detract from the skill show 😮

no

[wheat leaf]

Nah it distracts the enemy trust

Willie will be too busy gawking at the drip to fight

[wheat leaf]

That is the strangest looking selection I have ever seen from ovrdth

Isn’t there supposed to be like way more or am I buggin

[wheat leaf]

No it’s not what there is it’s what there isn’t

When’s the last time you updated it

Yes

Oh ok, I asked cause it looks like your missing a buncha presets but you just got all the drop downs closed

I don’t think ovrdth’s has a katana by default you need the weapon packs

Friggin uhhh I forgor the name I’ll find em rq

I didn’t even know there was just a katana mod

I got the vicious weapon packs, they got the katana and waaaay more

I’ll link the nexus mod page

https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/42

from the files tab > scroll down and install vicious weapon pack 1-3, i think its 2 with the katana and wakizashi but might as well get all 3 really

copy pasted from that page:

Locate the "OVRDTH'S SELECTION" folder in your computer, usually its at the Documents folder.

Then within, locate the "pooled_saves" folder, make sure you set your computer to view hidden files and folder.

If you can't find "pooled_saves", then search your computer for this file: SG Player Equipment.sav and there should have many such files, one original one generated by the game, and many others which are the modded ones in Ovrdth Selector pooled saves. Locate the pooled_saves via the file path.

Copy and paste the "CARE2SHARE" folder into the pooled_saves folder, this contains the Loadouts that holds these custom modded items.

[wheat leaf]

ive been fw the rapier and Nodachi a lot from these packs

should be the same thing i think?

ohhhhhhhhh that makes sense

ill be straight i had just as hard of a time figuring the download out, ended up just doing a PC-wide file browser search for the OVRDTH file and did it that way, takes longer tho

Wdym

[sleek hatch]

Anybody have the sound files from the game?

[wheat leaf]

Installed the packs 1-3 + ultimate, then found the ovrdth’s folder and then pooled saves within it, then added the files from the packs to ‘pooled saves’ and it was good to go

‘Pooled saves’ is basically the file designation for the selection of presets you see in ovrdth, and your just adding 3 new dropdowns that have a bunch more

You got all the files and the instructions directly from the creator at your disposal I can’t help much further

fuck it im genuinely confused whats going wrong so im gonna do it again for myself and see if i explained anything wrong maybe

[lapis marsh]

[wheat leaf]

is it? lmao i never tried it im gonna have to now

i could see it being good

theres an anvil in there too somewhere i think

oh yeah that ones pretty gnarly too

its really a nice set of mods, adds a lot to the game

[nocturne patio]

its rlly good

i can send a clip of it

[wheat leaf]

i was talkin about something else in that message, but since you mention it do send the clip pls i been tryna get headbutts right for a while now

[heady cloak]

this game is the best ragdoll based, pre-release medieval combat simulator i've ever played!

no but seriously i love this game lol

[bronze hearth]

same

it contains all my favourite things

[heady cloak]

my top 3 wants for this game are:
multiplayer
optimisation
ranged weapons (already shown to be in the works)

[valid summit]

can you infinitely retry the final level of the progression thing

[heady cloak]

yep

took me 20 hours of gameplay to complete lol

[bronze hearth]

i really want to see some new maps

[heady cloak]

there are loads of maps that they made already they just arent in the demo

in the playtests there were a few maps

[bronze hearth]

oh really

i cant wait for the full release

[heady cloak]

same

im also hoping there is more levels for gauntlet on full release (if they dont add multiplayer which im assuming wont be added on release)

[celest jasper]

I just got here, is there talk of Multiplayer at some point?

[heady cloak]

they are considering it, but it isnt their main priority

[celest jasper]

Ahh, okay, I hope they do, but No rush

You know there will be some really Toxic players on this type of game haha

[analog pelican]

i think they should lower the limb loss screaming volume, or atleast make an individual slider for it

because its unberably loud when any other sort of dialog is made comfertably audible.

[analog pelican]

scream AND voice, i want to hear the voices while not being deafened by the scream.

[heady cloak]

they say like 1 word every millenium lol

[analog pelican]

so your proposition is that i turn off the voice volume entirely?

[heady cloak]

just turn it down, then the screaming will no longer be an issue, at the small cost of not hearing the voices

[analog pelican]

not to mention that the characters make voice/scream sounds every round

and the only singulare scream that is an actual issue is the limb loss scream

because its so constant and way louder than any other voice/scream sound in the entire game.

especially if its you who lose a limb, then its like someone shouting right into your ear.

[heady cloak]

to be fair it makes sense

[analog pelican]

how does it make sense?

[heady cloak]

if i lost a limb i would be screaming at the top of my lungs too

[analog pelican]

from a gameplay standpoint i mean.

[analog pelican]

for 80 minuets?

[heady cloak]

well a louder scream signifies more injury

[analog pelican]

CUS IN GAMES A SOUND CAN SOUND LOUD WHILE NOT ACTUALLY BEING 130dB

i just think it would be a better gameplay experience if that one specific ear ripping scream was less loud, or if there atleast was a seperate slider for screams and voices, to me it would be a better experience atleast.

[celest jasper]

Real quick, is there a channel on discord that tells what the devs have in mind for the game and what they want to add?

[heady cloak]

how do i play mutiplayer?

[sleek gull]

you don't

[final island]

why is the commoner great challenger so difficult

[coral reef]

I don’t really struggle with him, the best way to do it is try to move his weapon to the left, or let him swipe, and while he has it away from you, you run up to him and immediately stab him in the gut or arm,

It works very well with the 2 handed broad axe

[final island]

i take the singular short sword build. i kinda have the groove now, let him do his 2 swings then dash in and hope for a cheeky hit lmfao

[final island]

i do like the axes in this game tho, they feel very consistent\

[coral reef]

Half swording the axe is just refreshing

[final island]

makes the game a bit easier when you can chop in half anyone without chest armour lol

[ornate sail]

Sorry if i sound really dumb but how do I get this version of the game

The one I have is just an endless dark void with enemies coming out of the dark

[shell bronze]

whar

you're still on the abyss demo

update

[final island]

on steam theres the full demo

[ornate sail]

so regular half sword or half sword tech demo?

[final island]

i believe its Half Sword

[fast vapor]

Why can I not download half sword?

[coral reef]

Does anyone know if there is a mod which will allow me to select/wear specific armor combinations from the menu? Sorry if that didn’t make sense lol

I can only imagine the amount of fun caused by server issues

I've 1100hrs in first person

that could be why

[nimble oasis]

Tell me why, I am nothing but a headache....

[warped apex]

I am also great with tossing willys around

[nocturne patio]

is pitchfork better than longsword

[warped apex]

depends

do you want to be stylish?

[nocturne patio]

i want to win

[warped apex]

only with swords you can be stylish

what tier are you stuck on?

I've beaten the game 125 times

[wind charm]

incorrect

[nocturne patio]

ive already beat the game but i had to adjust the sliders to defeat the baron

[buoyant ravine]

just got a message from Willie telling me my rank

most i've gotten is like 3800

[solar lake]

turn down graphics, and especially turn down blood

gore is okay

no blood

i beat it thrice that way (with difficulty)

i hope they add fluted armor to this game lmao

Same my bad chief

Honorable mention goes to:

[vale totem]

why does he want to keep fighting me
I ripped off his arm

[red cobalt]

Would it be cool if half sword had the ability for you to ride horses or would that be too much

[silver zinc]

bruh just had a run ruined becasuse i got stabbed in the arm slightly and willy wouldnt let go of the injured arm

really needs to be changed

having runs be ruined from a broken or stabbed arm

just make it an instant lose cuz all that you can do is kick and theres no point doing that against the baron

[gritty mountain]

😭

[oak path]

Bruh

[violet fox]

this game addicting

[warm void]

Can't fall down to impress the barons daughter.

[silver zinc]

i mean im not wrong

a non fatal injury shouldnt be an end runner

if you are allowed to stay alive after that then you shouldnt be left without the use of BOTH of your arms

will we see headcrushing with sufficiently hard enough blunt weapon hits?

i found willie's mesh

[swift aspen]

Ok so how the hell am i supposed to clear the last challenge

[restive barn]

by having skill

[cloud yew]

i used a one handed warhammer and pure skill (the F button), but i had to turn the gore off the same game stopped crashing

[shell bronze]

the simple joys of longsword on longsword combat cannot be understated

[swift aspen]

Ok but first of all i would need to get to warhammer since i start with knife and absolutely no armor

[cloud yew]

abuse that slow-mo and stab a bastard in the throat

the knife is OP against non armored target. thrust him, or grab him one of their arms with an off-hand and start swingin

[shell bronze]

How do i adopt tag?

[wooden socket]

in the middle of a pretty nice clash i clocked him square in the jaw with my pommel i think, then i did it again, then i cut his hand and his lower arm off

selfie!!

[idle crane]

In the settings go to profiles and then scroll down. It should let you pick a tag from any server you are in. Idk if the process is different on mobile

[unreal rain]

Hey how do I play in the courtyard? I can only play the abyss mode. Also I used to play it bus since the play test is done idk how to do it.

There's a baron in the abyss?

I did not know that

[heady cloak]

that's their main problem with adding it

[restive barn]

guys where is willies texture😭

[warm void]

There's gonna be a split screen.

[heady cloak]

they should do what hydroneer does and add support for steam remote play

that way you can play with friends online

[violet sequoia]

is it coming anywhat soon or...?

[analog topaz]

Bro ong nerf the Commoner's boss

its so hard to kill him

3 meter sword and he swings so fast lol

[violet sequoia]

facts btw

literally never gotten to kill him myself

[analog topaz]

Hes OP lol

this is my 3rd time in the Abyss because of him

in one run i mean

4th 😄 killed me again

[naive holly]

When the game releases before the end of the year

Thats the next update

Which will have splitscreen

[silver zinc]

ong bro, i literally died so many times to him and then died in teh abyss, just to beat him and not die for the rest of my progress

[analog topaz]

well we traded and he killed me in the abyss

ill call it a day for now 😂

[restive barn]

give me ideas

(i suck at 3d modelling)

[analog topaz]

give him hair

lol

whats that for

[restive barn]

lemme try

[analog topaz]

looks like the game's characters

[restive barn]

dude

hair is hard to model

[restive barn]

it is willie yeah

its willies 3d model

[analog topaz]

why are u editing it

[restive barn]

im not editing it

im js playing around with it

cuz bored

[analog topaz]

oh how

[restive barn]

no comment

[analog topaz]

fair enough 😂

Willie is the characters name? love it

[restive barn]

wilhelm w fischer

[analog topaz]

sounds german

nvm idk anything about old english

[restive barn]

hes german

or english

idfk

anyway what should i do with his model

other than hair

[analog topaz]

straighten up the shoulders

he looks week like that

[restive barn]

wdym "straighten up the shoulders"

[analog topaz]

see how shoulders go down at like a 45 degree angle

it looks weird

i would send pics to elaborate but im too low level

[restive barn]

k

so u dont like how curvy the shoulders are

idfk

[analog topaz]

yes

kinda

yea

[restive barn]

this right?

alr

man why cant i edit willies mesh

hold on im restarting blend

[tender topaz]

wanna share this one here as well because its kinda funny
(shared some clips from when i was on vacation with terrible internet in #game-footage-🎮🎥 )

i hang on my ple-

[uncut moth]

Hey guys im sorry to Ask but do u have any advice for the third Boss? I defeates him once and now i just cant

[warm void]

Your a modder?

[warm void]

He's the hardest boss dw.

It's not your fault.

[restive barn]

anyway

i cant edit willies mesh in game

but i can load it and edit it in blende

r

putting it back in the game is a different story

[uncut moth]

He chops my Head off every time

Idk what to do

As soon as i get closed its a matter of a few miliseconds

[dry folio]

Almost every time I am fighting the Ultimate Challenge I get the message Fatal error, usually when I already killed a few enemies and when I am "winning", and my game crashes. What do I do?

[pearl ferry]

blood down all the way run on dx11 and pray

usually genuine prayer to the machine gods will grant you a window of time where your game may not crash but not guaranteed

[dry folio]

Thanks

I will pray to the iron gods

[cyan cloud]

The swordsman in black? Pray, parry, and try to land a solid headshot when he’s recovering

[uncut moth]

what weapon do i choose? i chose the little shield and sword it did nothing

would greatsword be good?

[wind charm]

these halfsword mods are out of control.

[idle crane]

m00 blonksword halfcraft

[wind charm]

frankle square!

[pearl ferry]

if you wanna cheese him go into the tier as a peasant with pitchfork

you will outrange him with it

[uncut moth]

i tried...

many times

still died

[cyan cloud]

The buckler shield with a short sword is very good in general, but you might struggle to get into his range

[wheat leaf]

I swear Willie floats like he’s on the moon, but always lands like there’s 2x gravity

[pearl ferry]

you might just need some general practice in the freemodes then

[uncut moth]

i might.. i got like 4 hours in the game

[cyan cloud]

A choppy falchion paired with a solid buckler often means hacking your opponent to death the instant they try to strike

[cyan cloud]

You’re doing decently getting to the swordsman in black so quickly

[pearl ferry]

buckler is ass i aint even gonna lie

falchion is great though so it makes up

[uncut moth]

i got to the stage above military and i died

[wheat leaf]

Great bludgeon tho lowkey

[uncut moth]

like 777 on a slot machine

[pearl ferry]

yeah this is true

[cyan cloud]

The buckler is great for KO and breaking the right elbow

[wheat leaf]

Buckler constantly lets me down when I need it defensively, but rarely lets me down when It’s all I got left to get the win

Once it’s fully armored combat tho I’d take fists over it

[cyan cloud]

Buckler gets me through early spoilance, no trouble no matter what else there is

[wheat leaf]

Big candlestick tho?

[cyan cloud]

Okay, some trouble

[wooden socket]

i think i might be the underdog here

[wheat leaf]

I needa figure out how to do this kinda grappling dude looks so fun

[swift aspen]

Btw were you swinging the pitchfork or thrusting it?

[uncut moth]

i just ran..

how do you thrust?

i mean i saw the controls but it didnt work

[wooden socket]

album cover type material

[uncut moth]

fr

[swift aspen]

Alt is the default option

You gotta hold it

Also wait for him to come and then stab him with it

[wheat leaf]

Alt thrust needs mouse movement, double tap lmb to thrust also

Some weapons can’t thrust from alt too iirc, like if your halfswording any weapon

[uncut moth]

good tips

thanks guys

:)

[wheat leaf]

Enjoy, and don’t swing first. Let the enemy miss and counter them

[swift aspen]

Yeah it's best to just wait

[swift aspen]

But if you have greater range than your enemy it's worth to try swinging first

[analog topaz]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kSlkJkHRzCbUwG3lG?invite=cr-MSxTOTksMTkwODQxNDk4&v=6

now tell me he doesnt need nerfing

😭

[digital eagle]

how do i counter the pitchfork? pls i need help...

[analog topaz]

try to hit it out of your way using ur weapon

[swift aspen]

Try to hit so it goes to the side and then quickly close distance

[digital eagle]

ok thanks

[swift aspen]

Or just wait until your oponent swings it

[wooden socket]

update on the brave stand

i kinda lost my hand due to that sword guy, now ive been weaving them and trying to get a good angle to cut them with

[analog topaz]

anyone got tips on how to easily defeat this mf

[restive barn]

what weapon is that

[wooden socket]

some modded weapon i think its from the large harpoon fisherman guy

[swift aspen]

Looked like falcion

[wheat leaf]

Don’t attack first, be very mindful of your spacing. Maybe let him throw a few swings first to see if he’ll try follow up attacks. In that clip you just got unlucky as fuck I can’t lie

[analog topaz]

jeff bezos

[wind charm]

How to crinkle a Willie.

Step 1: With your left hand, aim to grab around the thigh, then scoop as deep as you can with your right hand in the inner thigh.

Step 2: Kick the ever loving shit out of his kneecaps, feet, or shins.

Step 3: turn your camera up and then move into the willie while pulling him up.

[wheat leaf]

Ideally you’ll wanna wait until he throws a slash to the side or raises his arms above his head, that’s the best time to rush in and grapple him to death, if you do it right after an overhead/when his sword is pointed down he’s almost guaranteed to take a leg with him

[tough yew]

something is quite off with this guy

[wooden socket]

THEY DREW A PREGNANT WOMAN ON MY HEAD

[wheat leaf]

Ok straight up the 2nd one was NUTS

I’m saving that guide I needa do this too lmao

[swift aspen]

really your mistake was to just run should have stopped the moment sword went in

but yeah you got kinda unlucky

[analog topaz]

yea lol im trying to run it again

[wind charm]

oh my sweet summer child...

[wheat leaf]

Those are pretty good, but the 2nd one of last post was the closest I’ve seen to a legit suplex in halfsword

[pearl ferry]

what if you killed yourself?

[wooden socket]

willie is so expressive despite having only one expression

[analog topaz]

never heard those screams before damn

[cyan cloud]

Firstly, that’s a good guide that’s going to help me get better.
Secondly, I’m glad to see the single leg takedown still works

[wheat leaf]

Everytime I try to do this though I always just let go of them too quick, I try twisting and moving in every way just experimenting, haven’t gotten liftoff or any real progress

[wind charm]

one last clip before my slumber

[wheat leaf]

Might be not grabbing low enough or doing enough to take them off balance

[uncut moth]

killed the black knight

thanks for the tip one more time :D

[swift aspen]

Good job

[wheat leaf]

Spinning crescent kick goes so hard

[uncut moth]

what faction do u think is the best?

last time i chose extra hp

[analog topaz]

what weapon do yall suggest for commoner

[wheat leaf]

Ofc dude glad you winning

[wind charm]

it do be a dopamine generator

[swift aspen]

I either take the HRE or English

[analog topaz]

cause longswords are also not helping against that mf boss

[wheat leaf]

When I’m home from work I gotta start trying martial arts in this game

[pearl ferry]

you can very reliably dodge pitxchforks and basically all spears except maybe plancon by doing this

[uncut moth]

how do u like throw ur character to the side?

[pearl ferry]

dont hold m1

be shifting (sprint)

[cyan cloud]

Turn and shift-dodge?

[pearl ferry]

and throw your mouse to the opposite side you're moving

while your movement (wasd) is mirroring your mouse direction

[swift aspen]

I wish i had reflex like that

[digital eagle]

COMMONER BOOOOSS I HATE YOU!

[uncut moth]

me too gng

me too

[swift aspen]

pitchfork is your best friend for him

[digital eagle]

i had a great run only for him to chop my forehead off...

[pearl ferry]

Please stop undressing the willies

[restive barn]

im too lazy to add clothes

[pearl ferry]

If they are undressed they are more likely to release spores

[restive barn]

Willies are fungus

I also have the same issue, I cant download the game nothing happens when I click download

[idle crane]

You might have to go through steam support to get that fixed

[soft osprey]

You also, it’s a steam issue you gotta go through their support system

[grim summit]

hi
I heard there is a more advanced version of halfsword you can sign up for testing and shit that is not on steam, is that real ?
