# tender quest

Pro tip, if your opponent is using a pole weapon its best to close distance and try to two hand your sword under his chestplate

#

like from the sleeve

tender quest
#

maybe i prefer to not kill my opponent

cobalt merlin
#

true

#

me too

tender quest
#

yes im sure he didnt die from that later in the infirmary

cobalt merlin
#

see the issue was

#

i took his sword hand off

#

but he kept standing and refused to give up

#

so

#

i had to take his other one too

tender quest
cobalt merlin
#

this one was smarter

cobalt merlin
# tender quest

how do you even win the fight by knocking them out like that

wheat leaf
#

I’ve found if you hit esc/pause as a new match is loading it happens fairly often

tender quest
cobalt merlin
#

for me i can knock them out tens of times per match and they just get up and keep going

#

why does it cap my shi at 20 when im fighting at npc

wheat leaf
#

20 fps?

supple bear
#

ye

wheat leaf
#

Idk if it’s intentionally capped at 20, so I’d say turn down blood in the gore tab(not gore itself) and possibly turn down graphics settings

supple bear
#

ah ok

wheat leaf
#

There is an fps limit option tho, I don’t recall it going as low as 20 but you could check for the sake of making sure

A roundhouse requires the foot horizontal, his foot stays vertical

swift aspen

#

cus you ppl glazing high graphics like they mean sum

naive holly

#

A crescent kick is basically a front kick from the side, the foot stays straight up and it rotates from the hip, just as Willie does as he can’t rotate his legs sideways without y’all REALLY trying

getting hit in the arms while covering your head hurts way more without gloves, especially the inside of your forearm

its fun but until u get hit once and gas out ( again )

novel talon
nimble trench
#

true

#

i wish they added a boxing mode just fist fights but with armour gloves

#

in the gamemode where u have to grab stuff to fight and get the gloves its so good

novel talon
#

the candlestand is quite deadly

#

probably my personal favorite weapon

tender quest
nimble trench
#

if the npc has it u just have to cling and spam kicks the most effective

novel talon
#

you can just push people around with the four prongs

nimble trench
#

or the wooden things are goated

then stab them with the spike or crack them with the shaft

#

i like it in abyss a lot

novel talon

#

but why does it feel like it has different physics or is it just me

novel talon
#

the rocks make for uneven ground i think

#

or it's placebo

nimble trench
#

never thought about that

#

like the kicks and how punches land etc just feels different

mhm

#

i haven't really experienced similarly but it could very well be the rocks n stones

nimble trench
#

how many hours u got on halfsword?

novel talon

i had like

#

20 on the other copy

so like 60-65

and on the other one like 70

and 70% of all those hours is only fist fights 😭

#

i like trying to recreate real hema techniques in the game

#

so i mainly stick to swords

but like cool pole-arm techs and spear techs are fun to try as well

#

but i don't find the game like

#

i see

#

basically

nimble trench

i mean i love the swords and weapons etc but the fist fighting is just more fun for me

i wish the npcs would have better ai tho

# finite harbor Can someone give me advice to get better at the game?

mess around with mouse sens - it's personal preference but getting a setting you enjoy helps

play freemode more than the gauntlet. freemode lets you try riskier tactics or experiment more freely without the fear of death

play variety of weapons. even if u suck at them. helps overall game knowlege

novel talon

oh yeah

is there like

a way to revert the gauntlet mode making every enemy in every rank the hardest guys

Anyone else think they should add a feature to where you can attack still even if you're on the ground? Cause sometimes my guy just trips over a small item, then I fall over and the other people just come kill me, even though I didn't have an injury. But if you fell over and hit your head, I could understand why you wouldn't be able to attack while on the ground

mental kelp
#

they sorta do its just not that good really, though I'm barely on the ground so I don't see it much

You can actually attack on the ground

sweet hamlet
# finite harbor Can someone give me advice to get better at the game?

Figuring out spacing is super key IMO. I found that you want to learn the lethal ranges of weapons because too close will not do much, and obviously too far won't do anything at all.

Once you have a better idea of how to control your character there's a lot of clever ways you can change your lethal range for farther or shorter distances

cobalt merlin
#

kinda useless against armored opponents i’d imagine

#

Yeah maybe

#

I use the long or great swords a lot

#

Theyre fantastic

sweet hamlet
#

everything's a whacking stick if you try hard enough

cobalt merlin
#

Well usually if my opponent has a sword also i keep my distance

celest jasper
cobalt merlin
#

try to swoop in on the inside of their arm either from the left or right upward strike

#

usually works

#

But the best case scenario is if they dont have a bladed weapon, then u js half sword and beat them to death with the pommel

sweet hamlet

great move too

no thats a nodachi

or something like that

oh, this one's a weird experiment, I actually lowered the FOV for a while. put it back on default later though

It’s pretty good lowkey, a bit heavy tho

cobalt merlin
#

tachis arent even that long

cobalt merlin
#

iirc tachis are made for horse combat

sweet hamlet
#

horse wielding katanas

wheat leaf
#

Tachi is basically the earlier version of the katana, same size if not slightly shorter, worn edge down rather than edge up like you say for horse combat

cobalt merlin
#

Yeah

#

odachis are the huge ones no?

#

field swords

wheat leaf
#

Yessir

cobalt merlin
#

well nodachi is the field sword

wheat leaf
#

I don’t know the exact translations but iirc Nodachi and Odachi are very similar

#

Possibly an interchangeable term

wheat leaf
#

Like fencing pretty much, based on real fighting but progressively became more of a points thing over the years

cobalt merlin
#

oh yeahh

#

its basically the same thing

#

lol

wheat leaf

Ones a term for its application, ones a term for what it is

O-katana might be the same too

their steel sucked major balls

But they did what they could

and made pretty good stuff out of it

It’s funny how expensive that steel is, tamahagane

cobalt merlin
#

of course

#

they still make it the traditional way

#

in only one place iirc

wheat leaf
#

I bought a handmade Japanese katana, for 1060 carbon, a better more consistent steel had a final price under 400 cad, to buy the same sword in tamahagane would have been ~3000

cobalt merlin
#

you know

#

if you buy a katana

#

it oughta be an original

#

i wanna buy a real historical one

young ledge
cobalt merlin
#

but i wont use it ofc

wheat leaf
#

Its original enough that they hand engraved kanji of my choice into the blade so I’m happy

cobalt merlin
#

i mean original japanese one yknow

#

But ofc for cutting youre better off with a modern steel one

A historical original would be sick I can’t lie

Cheapest historical option prob a ww1/ww2 officers katana, there’s a specific name but I forgor

#

They sell like any other mil surplus

sleek gull
#

1 Yen = 0.0068 United States Dollar

#

Which is honestly, a good price.

#

THough you can get the second option, which would be around 100,000 yen, or $675

stable rivet
#

for a traditionally made katana, it's a good price

#

but there's no way im spending that much on something that's going to be sitting in a shelf

#

yeah, fair point

#

it's a nice hobby to have, but sadly, you can't really go around carrying it nowadays

sleek gull
#

That is just for training purposes. Much like in HEMA, you can find people using either feders or plastic swords these days.

#

The skills used with the bamboo can be done with a sharp katana. But you don't really want to practice with that = )

#

Absolutely lol

#

Totally. Same with those who practice HEMA. There are competitions, but not everyone goes that route. Some just enjoy swinging around a feder in their back yard = )

A long sword makes for a tricky self defense weapon in the home. If you are in a wide open space, it is useful, but in a hallway, you are at a disadvantage. I'd rather a shotgun personally lol

in what way changed

night solstice
#

weapons do less damage and are less accurate somehow, they feel heavier also. I usually had no trouble going thru the story mode but not i struggle to go past commoner

#

i didnt change settings

cinder panther
#

damage got a bit overhauled

#

and weapons adjusted to be more realistic

cinder panther

#

whyy thats not fair 😭

night solstice
#

ah

#

ok thanks

i did this bug once, hella fun but leaves you defensless

cinder panther

still won

#

💀

#

they stabbed his.. willy

#

oh it stays between matches

#

thats cool

rigid stirrup
#

just died to fucking shears I'm never beating the abbys

ancient loom
rigid stirrup
#

that will probably happen if i ever do get to veteran

#

maybe i should try and do the gauntlet final challenge instead but i hate how the enemies take less damage

#

i'll just turn npc damage up a little

#

the game is kind of boring on the last 2 levels because there is too much armor

#

the game loses its thing,the gore

rigid stirrup
#

the games not just about the gore lol

naive granite
#

you are just hitting each other in invincible metal suits

rigid stirrup
#

man at arms is my favourite tier

#

all the most advanced weapons

lapis marsh
#

i personally think the 3rd and 4th tiers from the top are the best

naive granite
rigid stirrup
#

there's a lot of armour but there's still clear weakspots, unlike knight tier

#

you get brave stand which is really fun

ancient loom
rigid stirrup
#

yeah because there's just a lack of control needed for getting into those tiny weakspots in knight tier

#

sneaking a dagger into an eyeslit or armpit was very feasible irl

#

ingame its nearly impossible

naive granite
#

its so boring to just endlessly swing at each other

rigid stirrup
#

i've only ever gotten one stab through the eyslit, even though thats depicted in the games art

naive granite
#

i always do the first 3 levels they are so fun for me

supple bear
#

im a roundhouse kicker

rigid stirrup

#

Soldier is the most fun tier tbh

rigid stirrup
naive granite
rigid stirrup
#

i just wish soldier and veteran had brave stand

supple bear
naive granite
#

this game needs a 2 handed long mace

rigid stirrup
#

it has one

#

in soldier tier there's polemaces

supple bear
rigid stirrup
#

and ofc you have pollaxes at the highest tiers

naive holly
rigid stirrup
#

its not very good tbh

#

but it can be fun

ancient loom
rigid stirrup
#

imagine using it in a brave stand against like 4 beggars

naive granite
rigid stirrup
#

i should probably install mods for that actually

rigid stirrup
naive granite
#

like this

rigid stirrup
#

i dont play either that much tbf

naive granite
#

similar thing to this weapon would be fun to use

rigid stirrup
#

that is literally in the game

#

well it doesn't have a buttspike

#

but its a mace on a pole

naive granite
#

i want that one!!!!!!!!!11!!

the worst thing about it is how even on the ground its a threat

naive granite
#

they just give up without any weapons so i gave them stools they won

i've hurt my foot stepping on it so many times

number 1 reason to bring sabatons

other than kicking beggars

#

its all just modern terminology really i think

ancient loom
#

Yeah because the peasant from 15th century probably didn't think if he was using a plancon or a goedendag

rigid stirrup

#

again??

rigid stirrup

maybe you cant run the game on your pc lol

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW

it makes my PC fans go ballistic even on medium graphics

barren hamlet
#

Can you please give us option to disable the darkness in abyss? it's too difficult in the later stages as you can get hit without warning as the field of vision is so close

rigid stirrup

but also

#

it cant

#

or shouldnt be able to

lapis marsh

soft osprey
#

Well tbf that’s why he asked for an option to disable, you wouldn’t have to disable if you don’t want to

rigid stirrup
#

well it should be a challenge right?

barren hamlet
#

I only get killed when i get people storming me from the side and i can't see them

soft osprey
rigid stirrup
#

tbh no i usually play on the default or hardest difficulty depending on the game

lapis marsh
rigid stirrup
#

i see your point though

#

but i think the darkness is an important part of the abyss

soft osprey
#

Well Thats the beauty of having options isn’t it Ivanjak

ancient loom
rigid stirrup
#

its not like its the only game mode

#

its a challenge mode

ancient loom
rigid stirrup
#

yeah they definitely do ambush you sometimes

#

its very spooky

soft osprey
# rigid stirrup well choosing to play the abyss is an option

This is a silly “argument” were having lol, just like choosing to play it is an option, making it easier is also an option! Everyone has the freedom of choice so nobody loses 😎 theres no right way to play a game! Unless you play it differently than me, then Youre playing wrong

rigid stirrup
#

its good for games to provide a challenge that you have to persevere to beat

#

but thats just my opinion

soft osprey
lapis marsh
soft osprey
rigid stirrup
#

i think the challenge is cheapened when the option for an easy mode is there as an escape hatch

#

but of course it depends on the game

leaden silo
#

The whole abyss issue doesn't even feel like an issue to me, I just walk with my weapon ready and the locking works as intended, it locks onto an enemy before I can even see him

rigid stirrup
ancient loom
#

I just play everything on normal because 99% of the time its the game mode devs intended to be played

Holding Alt when punching does a nice forward punch

Kickboxing is the coolest thing people do imo

# soft osprey

i thought this was a game about medieval armoured combat

lapis marsh
#

if i am playing a game for the first time i will play it As The Developers Intended

soft osprey
rigid stirrup
#

i guess it also depends how the difficulty is done

simple vale
#

amor makes fights take too long..,.,

soft osprey
#

Every game I play, always the hardest

rigid stirrup
#

spongier healthbars is always unsatisfying

#

(like the final challenge of the gauntlet in this game)

soft osprey
#

Cause if you’re gonna get good, you’ll be forced to get good at the hardest level. Quickest improvement. Or you suck and do terrible and uninstall

leaden silo
#

I either play games on Normal or go straight to Hard if it's unlocked from the start, I like to challenge and suffer in the oblivion of not knowing what comes next, then scream like a baby on steroids when danger approaches

rigid stirrup
#

but adding more enemies, or handicapping the player in some way is often more interesting

soft osprey
#

I just don’t wanna play on normal and find it’s drastically too easy. Thats not being like egotistical it’s just how it is. Im not a great gamer or anything

rigid stirrup
#

yeah i'm the same

#

but hard mode means a very different thing to some developers than others

#

its kind of like spicy food

soft osprey
rigid stirrup
#

you think you like it extra hot until you try going to a different place

#

and you get burned

soft osprey
#

I also don’t replay games like ever. Except games meant for it like..bannerlord or something. Once I beat the main part, I lose all interest. Also the reason I do every single side quest in games before finishing the main story

leaden silo
#

Hmmm yeah, reminds me of Cyberpunk 2077. Hardest difficulty itself is bearable if you play just right, but car chase scenes are outright impossible

soft osprey
#

So if I play on normal and get halfway through and realize it’s boring cause of how easy it is..games done

#

Im not replaying

wheat leaf

rpgs often have this issue i think

soft osprey

Darn I forgot GIFs are not enabled for a peasant like me

wheat leaf

rigid stirrup
#

yeah i was just trying to get through beggar tier for the gauntlet

soft osprey

#

so i could suffer in commoner tier

wheat leaf
#

2077 had a insane launch tho, so many ppl downloaded it at once the steam store page crashed for like 2 days

leaden silo
soft osprey
#

Luckily they took a page from no man’s sky’s book and turned it around massively

wheat leaf
#

It’s unfortunate cause the games awesome now, but after the hype is gone that means nothing

leaden silo
#

2077's glow-up was huge, especially with the Phantom Liberty release aaaaaaand this is quite the #halfsword-chat-⚔ is it now?

tbh the A.I is quite decent when they fight eachother but they have no idea how to defend against a player, or how to fight against armour

yeah what happened to the scythe? its not very good in my experience

#

sometimes it randomly slews off a limb

#

but pitchfork is better

ancient loom
soft osprey
rigid stirrup
#

its in the game, peasant boss uses it

simple vale
#

the scythe was was better in the demo imo
was wayy easier to slice limbs and cut people in half with how you would cut on joints in the demo rather than how it works now

rigid stirrup
#

yeah some weapons definitely need some fine tuning

soft osprey
rigid stirrup
#

sometimes a peasant's knife feels sharper than a sword

soft osprey
#

Could just hold shift and swing once

#

Move through the tiers

#

Loved the old demo

rigid stirrup
#

i've severed legs with that little peasant knife

ancient loom
simple vale
#

i remember doing this to an mf...

rigid stirrup
#

but they are reworking the gore system so i'm sure it'll all be fixed

rigid stirrup
#

so i never saw the crazy gore

soft osprey
simple vale
rigid stirrup
#

blunt weapons need some gore though, they have practically none currently

ancient loom
rigid stirrup
#

i wacked a guy in the head with a pollaxe, full force, no helmet, and he got back up afterwards

#

his head should have been in pieces

soft osprey
#

Even early access is going to have a new and improved gore system compared to what we have now. The gore has gone through a lot of changes over time

rigid stirrup
#

(though that does seem quite dramatic)

simple vale
rigid stirrup
#

update in a week...

simple vale
#

it'd be cool if you could l ike concave the skull or ribs to see when you break a guys ribs or even skull with blunt weapons

#

it'll make my boxing experience much better...

ancient loom
simple vale
#

also i noticed someone mention that the roots of teeth are modeled
possibly means we can knock out teeth in the future...
i got an image of them here

ancient loom
rigid stirrup
simple vale
#

im not sure if i've seen actual broken bones or if its just funky modeling
cause willys arms do get kinbda messed up when punching ..

rigid stirrup
#

the real goal of blunt damage should be hitting the head

keen dock
#

brogen bonez

rigid stirrup
#

even a swift kick can do it sometimes

#

basically the knee ends up bending the other way

#

and they start screaming horribly

simple vale
#

the funky arm in question

ancient loom
simple vale
#

im talking breaking otuside of joints

rigid stirrup
#

yeah i dont think that exists yet

#

i wonder if they'll model all the organs in future

soft osprey
rigid stirrup
#

currently its just if you pierce the brain they die, if you cut the throat they die more slowly

#

and they can bleed to death from other injuries

simple vale
#

you used to be able to cut out the intestine in the old demo

simple vale
soft osprey
#

Im very excited to see what early access brings

rigid stirrup
#

wow

im kinda wanting like a expression changer in photo mode
