[warm void]

Franky

[gleaming sand]

was there an update recently that i missed? the game feels horrible rn

[warm void]

in term of performance or gameplay

[restive barn]

e e ey

[gleaming sand]

gameplay fs. some npcs are immune to blades and just take it as blunt damage, abyss mode has really weird enemy spawning, and the vram errors. idk if that one's exclusive to me but i get them for seemingly no reason

[warm void]

dw gng, game will update to early access build on november-december (hopefully)

[vital perch]

"something ain't right" ahh willie

[restive garnet]

cold feet ahh willie

[vital perch]

my drip is better than his

[bright cosmos]

can i somehow make my gauntlet charatcher a giant without gambling on randomize body

[restive garnet]

willie barbie when

[scarlet smelt]

how do i thrust

see all the bots doing it but cant figure out how to do it

[restive barn]

never

uhh

hold on

[restive garnet]

hold alt

[scarlet smelt]

omd thank you

this popped in halfway during a duel and i was somehow able to cook up

[restive barn]

HAIR WILLIE

[alpine aurora]

EW

[alpine aurora]

🤮

Style fits him tbh lol

[midnight jasper]

i think subsurface scatering is to much

and gorgers

hair

how do you call this thing? i call it "not big enough flat spoon"

but looks like a shovel

[restive barn]

its a shovel

wooden shovel

monkey willie

[glossy stirrup]

wait

does height matter

in gauntlet mode

[restive barn]

no

[coral reef]

It’s a gardening tool, but it’s just called a spade or a shovel, it was usually reinforced with metal but sadly we don’t get another metal paddle yet

I genuinely thought it would have a fancy name, and I looked for it, and it was a goddamn shovel

[muted ember]

Looks kind of like a hurling bat

[glossy stirrup]

wonder if in actual game we will get something like customiztion for our willie

[restive barn]

its a shovel

[restive barn]

we will

[glossy stirrup]

peak

[muted ember]

Yeah I know but it's pretty resemblant of this
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurley_(stick)

[midnight jasper]

hmmm what will happen if he dies in that box

okay he just completly ignores collision

i hoped to see some funny physics

[coral reef]

Someone’s game probably broke so many times during physics tests when developing the void

Just because of that box

[onyx steppe]

I just got a BANGER idea for Half Sword

Support for custom weapons from the Steam workshop

[restive barn]

noe✌️

[restive garnet]

modding support is like when HS is near end of EA. we might have our own modding tools. but its not yet clear

[onyx steppe]

why not

[tall pier]

Does anyone here have the Half Sword Playtest yet?

[rustic steppe]

thats all thats available im pretty sure

[brazen forum]

they used to have a separate playtest but it's all merged into demo now I think?

[ember berry]

seems a lot harder to swing my armingsword at neck and head level than it is to do that with a longsword.

but that might just be a skill issue on my end lol

[tall pier]

I had the playtest, but I accidentally uninstalled it, and now I miss it a lot, mainly because I was good at grappling and BJJ there.

And in the demo, when I want to do an armbar or some kind of submission, the character lets go, and fighting on the ground simply doesn't work.

[lost rover]

There’s a google drive containing old versions

[tall pier]

Google drive?

[soft yoke]

hi guys

[tall pier]

No, IP grabber or virus?

[lost rover]

None

its a reddit link

i searched thru reddit then opened the files through there

if youre not sure ill send another rversion

which is directly the drive

[tall pier]

Okay, I just wanted to check.

[tall pier]

Another question, what is the guarantee that this won't put malware on my computer?

[lost rover]

its just the files

The comments seem assuring

[tall pier]

Okey.

Okay, thank you very much.

[granite linden]

am i supposed to have literally NO weapon while fighting the bosses

cuz i def dont get a weapon

[idle crane]

When you fight the beggar boss the weapons should spawn on the floor. If you dont have weapons in other bosses then thats a bug

[lost rover]

nouway Bilguneeba

or something in those terms

[granite linden]

is ts the ug civ

[granite linden]

yea i got literally nothing on the scythe boy

[idle crane]

[hot crag]

is there any way to avoid the fatal error

[granite linden]

validate ur files

[hot crag]

and how do i do that

[granite linden]

ask mantle

[lost rover]

disable blood

[idle crane]

When does it occur?

[hot crag]

when i slam someone on the ground

[idle crane]

Yep disable blood

[hot crag]

or fall from high up

alrighty

[idle crane]

About Fatal Crashes:
We’re aware of the fatal crashes, especially during the Baron fight. These issues stem from a third-party Unreal Engine plugin we’ve been using for some of the blood and gore effects.
While we initially tried to debug it, we’ve hit its limitations. That’s why we’re now developing our own in-house solution, which will be ready for the Early Access release — offering both improved stability and next-level wounds for you to inflict on poor Willie.

If curious ^

[granite linden]

holy ai

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-huh-m4rtin-huh-huh-meme-what-cat-gif-5834484041415217257

[hot crag]

i turned it off and it still happens😭

[hard fable]

Same, haven’t found a fix that works yet.

[idle crane]

Thats unfortunate to hear. Its not a guaranteed fix sadly

[remote kindle]

what the fuck MAN, i just beat the Baron again and now i lost all my progress AGAIN

This game WANTS ME to keep playing

[ancient loom]

If you beat baron you should be able to just play him in free play

[restive barn]

edit to willies model

[remote kindle]

Yeah i know i could

but my progress got deleted

this is the second time

I literally got it back yesterday 😭

[ancient loom]

Then the game is telling you to play the gauntlet mode again or go complete abyss

[remote kindle]

I was trying to do abyss but it keeps deleting my progress

[ancient loom]

Abyss doesn't save progress tho

[remote kindle]

no i mean

it removes my gauntlet

being finished

[idle crane]

Its so you can replay it again after you complete it

[ancient loom]

Yes it restarts after getting baron and quitting the game. Its so you can replay it

[remote kindle]

i don't mean abyss

i know how the abyss works

[ancient loom]

Im talking about gauntlet. It restarts after you complete it so you can replay it again

[remote kindle]

wait

it just sends you to free mode

i thought it was different

I see now

Now i get it

[viral palm]

New to the game, have a simple question:
How does spears and other long stabbing weapons work? How do I stab?xd
Right now, I'm just swinging it around, hoping to hit them hard enough to take damage lol

[shell bronze]

2 ways
double click from your current position to stab
hold alt to enter thrust mode

[wind charm]

clueless has got you

[shell bronze]

thrust mode will make them keep their distance a bit more but it's good for consistent back and forth jabs

[sand herald]

Yeah clueless got it

[viral palm]

Thank you! I will try it out right away.🙌🏽

[shell bronze]

i do just want to make it clear that stabbing might be a PITA sometimes

it's a bit unreliable until you get used to it

[sand herald]

It's tough to get down at first but once you get consistent with it, its so fun

[shell bronze]

you can also stab with movement as well

[sand herald]

I'm actually working on a spear compilation right now with pretty much nothing but stabbing in it

[viral palm]

It's also mostly, when I'm in fights with other spear users, I would find it helpful. ^^'

[stone flare]

how could I stab more easily? my fingers hurt when I try to stab with alt

[shell bronze]

your thumb should rest on alt pretty well

[shell bronze]

it's definitely a direct counter to them

[stone flare]

ah alright, thanks.

[quaint vector]

Can you run half sword on ultra?

[shell bronze]

yeah i leave my thumb on alt and alternate between that and space

[shell bronze]

yeah

[sand herald]

If you stab the NPC with a spear in the lower/midsection region, the physics can get really whacky and make him spin like crazy

[shell bronze]

the leg stab helicopter

[quaint vector]

Does it run smooth

[shell bronze]

phenomenon as old as time

[shell bronze]

smooth but the differences between that and high are small so i just go to high to save power and keep my pc a bit cooler

[wind charm]

the extreme gamer 360 is actually more reliable 😔

[shell bronze]

the 360 is proof that video game and movie moves do indeed work in this game

[sand herald]

Sneak peak of the first few clips of the compilation I'm putting together with spears

[golden bear]

Fatal error!

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW

how to fix?

[candid egret]

I JUST GOT THE NAKED WILLIE GLITCH TOO

hes circumnavigated or whatever its called

[viral palm]

What faction is the 'best'? <.<

[lapis escarp]

can anyone help me out of my misery... why when I'm at the end (ultimate challenge), it always do a random "fatal error", so i cant progress.... Does anyone have the same thing as me?

[ancient loom]

I always choose yellow (HRE i suppose) but in the end it doesn't matter that much

[ancient loom]

Turn down blood or graphics

[viral palm]

Ah aight! Thanks :))

[lapis escarp]

i did

turns out, nothing happens... I may try again, thanks pal

[real patrol]

how to pin a photos here?

i want to ask something

[naive holly]

Need to level 2 in the server, get exp by talking and check your progress in #stat-rank-check

[naive holly]

Wassup

[real patrol]

i've got an injure animation when my char's arm was chopped off. How to end it?

i cannot move my both arms

[naive holly]

Surrender

You lost your arm bro thats it for ya

[real patrol]

BRUH

i think devs should add something like a "regeneration" feature in abyss for the chopped off parts

[ancient loom]

There is regeneration in abyss for minor injuries but chopped off arms might be too far

[real patrol]

or the devs could make it so that limbs cannot be cut off as it was in the beta

[sharp sky]

why

[ancient loom]

Decapitation is one of the core features of the game so they probably won't remove it

[real patrol]

only in abyss. Or make an "switcher" in settings like with dummy

[midnight jasper]

maybe if you defeat champion

[midnight jasper]

and considering you have to do it injured

kinda fair i think?

[real patrol]

yeah, u're right. It would make the game more..fair?

[midnight jasper]

i mean in terms of regeneration only, limbs are not small cuts, not a scratch

so you have to do something hard to regenerate whole limb

in terms of the abyss balance idk

[ancient loom]

Abyss isn't meant to be fair tho. Its supposed to be difficult and unforgiving like a rouglike.

[midnight jasper]

yep thats what im leading to

if you lost limb in first place

then its your problem

[ancient loom]

Sometimes its stupidly hard sometimes but its all luck there

[midnight jasper]

idk how to phrase it

sometimes axe just falls at your leg and chops it clean off

[ancient loom]

Sometimes a chest makes you fly into space

[midnight jasper]

sometimes candleholder becomes a missle and knows where it is (in your neck)

[ancient loom]

And sometimes you can't find a single piece of clothing like here

[real patrol]

sometimes the "clank" can fling you around the boss arena

bruh it happened with me

[real patrol]

yeah. Typical beta expirience

SOMEONE SAID THE CLANKER?

[ancient loom]

I saw it too

[ancient loom]

Demo was even worse with physic related bugs

The old one

[real patrol]

i dunno how to joke here..

[real patrol]

but still funni

the scythe

[ancient loom]

New players don't know the horrors of seeing the schyte boss for the first time and getting cut in half

[real patrol]

but the most satisfying thing was the breakable skulls

[real patrol]

FR

I was just lowering the "d.t.p." so the first boss was more passable

[ancient loom]

The closest thing to him is the commoner boss but i beat his ass with a candlestick a couple of times

[real patrol]

yeah..
they nerfed this boss so hard

but now i'm missing it

[viral palm]

Such a pleasing feeling, winning against the long sword guy (commoner boss guy) with the peasant. :PP

[ancient loom]

Im not that mf was so hard to beat and then you could just run around with the scythe until it didn't fly into space with the second hit

[real patrol]

he's easy. Just pick the spear-like weapon

[ancient loom]

That is the easiest method of killing him

[viral palm]

Literally did that... felt genius in the moment

[real patrol]

what means mf?

[ancient loom]

mother fucker

[real patrol]

oh..

[ancient loom]

Now try it with a long sword

[real patrol]

i thought it's not so rude

[sharp sky]

willer

[real patrol]

axe

[sharp sky]

scythe boss killed me in 2 miliseconds

[ancient loom]

William

[ancient loom]

mace and dagger

[real patrol]

the MIHAWK knife
(the short knife, yeah)

[cyan siren]

ok i cant just be delusional. ive been trying out lower damage settings for longer fights. and i swear the lower you get the harder it gets to hit the willies in the first place

[ancient loom]

You might be delusional

[cyan siren]

like high damage every swing makes an impact. lower its like im fighting ghosts

[ancient loom]

I would rather kick him to death than use the short knife

[vital hornet]

why do my allies on small buhurt keep atacking me do they hate me😢

[viral palm]

When I have multiple weapons, how do I change? Is it only through inventory while dropping the other weapon? :/

[soft yoke]

weeeeee

[real patrol]

yeeaah..

it's only like that

[viral palm]

Oh well, was hoping for a "swap item" or something, but aight ty

[real patrol]

WEEEEEEEEEE

[soft yoke]

wtf

[real patrol]

madness

dat's a madness

[ancient loom]

You can hold E to hide your own weapon if its 2 handed sword or a mace and then hold Q to get a diffrent weapon from inventory or click R

[real patrol]

dat's a madness combat

[viral palm]

Ah nice! :)) Thanks!

... The physics of the spears needs a little something... Just died because my spear was stuck in between my legs.. :((

No puns intended xd

[novel spear]

average wwe match:

[ancient loom]

halfsword it or change hand by clicking x. It mostly fixes it

[viral palm]

"Halfsword it" is that the term for just having faith in the game?xd

[ancient loom]

Hold right click. Idk how to call it

[viral palm]

Like faith in the character more*

Oh thanks for explanation :DD

[novel spear]

Half sword is a technique when you hold two hands into your blades, giving you more accuracy and you could poke unarmored parts of the body.

[real patrol]

just right click. When you hold it, after releasing it's "unhalfswording"

[small dove]

stab me

[ancient loom]

I hold it.

a willie having birth to a willie

[real patrol]

british mythology is so beautiful

[small dove]

everytime someone says "british" it reminds me of a comment i saw once on youtube

[ancient loom]

British mythology be like

[novel spear]

if they stab you in the right, you go right; if they stab you in the left; you go left.

if they stab you in the head

you go straight

[small dove]

if they stab you in the chest?

[novel spear]

they want to kill you

[real patrol]

dat's not still even an resident

[real patrol]

what if they stabbing me in the..

[novel spear]

they dont want you to have babies

[ancient loom]

In the willy?

[drowsy flint]

fun new glitch

i put that big shield on my back and instead of putting it on his back, he flung it away, leveitated a foot off the ground and refused to move

[real patrol]

true, true

[ancient loom]

But now we need to think can willie have babies? He doesn't own a willy so does he just multiply like a bacteria?

[small dove]

za hando

but its left instead of right

[real patrol]

I think every playlist intended for some kind of bloody game should have some kind of...

bruh where is this damn ss..

[novel spear]

i feel like half swording is incredibly op in men at arms tier

it acts as a shield

it can poke through small unarmored parts

it is almost immune to polearms

[real patrol]

more epic music

[real patrol]

true

dat's the most..balanced tier?

i think candelabrum need a nerf

[drowsy flint]

the blunt end seems to also do cutting damage

[real patrol]

no. Only poking like a spear

[drowsy flint]

stabs in halfsword are usually fatal

the blunt end of the big candlestick is ironically better than the stabby end

[real patrol]

hm..seems like a good thing to check

seems like i've found a good tactic for this weapon

spin

[true zealot]

slow dancing

[novel spear]

i cutted willie's leg and arm

true anakin style

WOAH

[shell bronze]

it works great for people with no chainmail around their neck or no real helmets

[novel spear]

no chainmail works fine

its just that its more

harder to pierce through

or option number two

[small dove]

what the actual fuck just happened

[novel spear]

you could just

pierce through the face

[novel spear]

if you go over the fence you lose

[small dove]

did i fart too hard or smthn

[novel spear]

i use this as my advantage

[small dove]

i mean the fact i literally became a mfing jet engine

[true zealot]

fuck tiers fuck weapons just swing on a mf

[novel spear]

yeah no its just

normal half sword physics

[real patrol]

you just wiped your balls

[tranquil blaze]

i'm using the baron tier to train my kicks, its fun

[sharp sky]

did the same thing again somehow

[tranquil blaze]

lmao

[sharp sky]

damn scythe boss really trying not to surrender

[tranquil blaze]

i usually hold him down, kick his nuts and use the scythe to end him

just because the hate is real

[sharp sky]

i nailed a pitchfork to his arm, he dropped his scythe, tried to attack me with his sickle, i cut his arm, he tried to fight then he surrendered

[tranquil blaze]

finally

[real patrol]

"i'm heavy weapons guy. And my weapon..IS TOO HEAVY BRO"

[tranquil blaze]

who touched sasha... WHO TOUCHED MY AXE

dude i hate commoner

you will either oneshot your enemy or get your arms cut off

[tranquil blaze]

i love commoner for that reason

so many ways to dice willies

[sharp sky]

AS I SAID THAT MY ARM JUST GOT CUT OFF

AND IM IN THE ABYSS

[shell bronze]

can't relate

[tranquil blaze]

oh thats fair

[sharp sky]

i mean killing willies are good but theres too many ways to die yourself

[tranquil blaze]

also i started to love maces

bonk

[sharp sky]

that hammer thing in abyss is soo overpowered

[real patrol]

i hope using a person like a shiend it's not so bad idea

[real patrol]

"i'm OLD!"

i hope i wouldn't ruin my run tomorrow..

One question, what's de difference of dx 11 or dx12?

[midnight jasper]

now he will suffer

for all of us who were a victim of his ridiculously large sword

[midnight jasper]

dx12 has better lightning

but may work slower

[brisk jasper]

Ohh, thank you

[brisk jasper]

Jjaj

[midnight jasper]

finaly i can use polearms

nvm i died

[shell bronze]

vaccinated

[tardy dawn]

is there a way to prevent dying from resetting you to beggar 😔

[quiet ferry]

If you like get knocked out or something you go into the abyss

[tardy dawn]

the vids I've watched have people playing certain tiers and dying without being reset to beggar

[amber vessel]

that is probably not gauntlet

if you die you go to the abyss, if you die in the abyss its game over

[shell bronze]

that

[tardy dawn]

gotcha, and the ultimate challenge tier has to be unlocked through gauntlet?

[valid summit]

bug left this guy in a very unfortunate matchup

[warm void]

defeating him for the first time felt so good.

having a weapon with double edge makes it hard to get close.

[shell bronze]

especially with insane wingspan strength and reach

[warm void]

My boy would absolutely dominate the basketball teams.

[naive holly]

Yeah gauntlet is where you work your way up, free mode has everything already.

Except for the Baron, you have to beat the gauntlet to get him in free mode

[midnight jasper]

i blocked his overhead and skewed him, just lucky

[torpid mortar]

having speed and only speed is just fun

turning everything off and just doing dumb shit

is just

fire

they have like half a millisecond to react

i need to find the threshold where you die with them and they just immediately die from being dodged into

[warm void]

What mod are you using?

[torpid mortar]

hse

just the one everyone uses

[warm void]

Just use infinite conciousness.

[torpid mortar]

well i found that if you set said thing too high you get teleported to the norelm

so i dont think that matters 💔

[warm void]

The body tonus or the speed multipluer

[torpid mortar]

tonus

im trying to find the threshold

[warm void]

Ngl

I hope we get face deformation.

Or body deformation atp

Because, I want to slam them so hard their face became flat.

i think its around 500.

as you can see both hats are currently exiting the arena.

?

[torpid mortar]

no, the only difference between normal and gold weapons would be the barons weapons

even then thats not much of a difference

absolute brain blast ik

so far so good

leap of faith ahh

[proud knoll]

willie of faith

MAA boss time

blitzed his ass and hit a pose

my arm DID almost disintegrate

though

[proud knoll]

FUCK HE FUCKIN GRAPPLED ME BEHIND THE NECK

NOOO

NOT AGAIN

[torpid mortar]

LOL

[proud knoll]

he had to pull out his sword and make it hard on me

fml

[torpid mortar]

what

fucking what

https://tenor.com/view/legoshi-beastars-dramatic-legoshi-dramatic-gif-9591717825944276148

i just realized it sounded b a d

i disarmed him and he pulled out his sword

and he grappled me and cut off my head

[torpid mortar]

hug of doom and despair

[proud knoll]

yeah

😔

didnt react in time with my pause

[torpid mortar]

tragic

[torpid mortar]

can confirm my arm broke from this interaction

my ENTIRE arm

😭

blitzed

erm

[steady ice]

How do u do that

[torpid mortar]

good posture ig

[little verge]

You can play in freemode to practice. If you die in the gauntlet you have on chance to return to life with no progress loss but you must survive the abyss.

[sleek gull]

Smoove

[golden bear]

bro why is the commoner boss so fucking hard to kill

any advice?

[sleek gull]

Work the range, bait an attack. back step it, move in, kill

[golden bear]

cheers

[little verge]

Watching his attack pattern is the best thing you can do. He often stikes in 3's.

[sleek gull]

I never noticed that. I have noticed basic willies tend to go for singles or doubles, but I never thought about bosses like that lol

[little verge]

It was something another player pointed out to me. I generally rush every opponent and try to get the first strike.

[drowsy flint]

if he slices diagonally downwards you can move the mouse in a semi circular motion and deflect - counter in one motion

but its hit and miss, often he just blows straight through whatever guard you put up

ofc this move requires a longsword to do

[golden bear]

bro if he's the 3rd boss

wtf are the ones after like

[drowsy flint]

much much easier

[golden bear]

oh..

[drowsy flint]

hes difficult because his sword is enormous, hes absurdly strong in his blows so you cant guard, only deflect, and you have only just gotten to real weapons over repurposed farm/woodworking equipment

the next boss has a plancon, but you can literally catch it in halfsword, shove it aside and stab him and he just drops

[shell bronze]

third boss is a bitch for new people

i tell them to just use pitchfork

straightforward solution that equalizes the reach between them and the big guy

then they can revisit him with the tier-appropriate gear when they're more comfortable with the game

[sleek gull]

Commoner, Tier 3, OVRDTH...Whatever you call him, he seems to be something of a skill check. I don't mean that in any negative way, but it takes more strategy and control than the first two bosses.

[rocky wharf]

first thing I see after joining the server and dying to him lol

[rocky wharf]

I hate him

[shell bronze]

this is what it's like when you try to fight him on equal grounds

hence why i advise against all attempts at sword on sword contact with him

[shell bronze]

go tier 2 and get pitchfork

[rocky wharf]

double LMB and charge?

[shell bronze]

a lot of people can't drop the ego and insist on beating him the "proper" way when it's clear you're just fighting him with a direct disadvantage

[rocky wharf]

huge range

[shell bronze]

double lmb at the end of your charge right when you're about to hit him

let go and step back immediately if you miss

and try it again

[rocky wharf]

hmm alright thanks

[sleek gull]

Dang, now I want to reset gauntlet lol

[drowsy flint]

lol i think im holding the sword too far away, every time i try that he just blasts through and chops my head or shoulders

[small dove]

half a williesecond

[lapis marsh]

i beat him because he slipped on air and i wailed on him on the ground

[torpid mortar]

[small dove]

kitty...

[sleek gull]

so close!~

[shell bronze]

fantastic

but really there's not much to this fatass loser after you get used to the gameplay

[drowsy flint]

not to measure dicks or anything

[small dove]

fuck you

[drowsy flint]

theres a lot here with a lot more time than me lol

[shell bronze]

bruh time don't mean shi

you can leave the game on and go to sleep

and go to work

[drowsy flint]

every breath i take without your permission raises my self esteem

[shell bronze]

and go back and play it

then rinse and repeat

[small dove]

afking half sword for hours real

[shell bronze]

afking half sword for internet clout ❤️❤️❤️

[small dove]

have 2000 hours but still cant parry type shit

[shell bronze]

2000 hours and still don't know which button is thrust mode type shi

[lapis marsh]

shit

[sleek gull]

• 400 from play test

[small dove]

2000 hours and still cant hit shitty spin kicks like mine

[lapis marsh]

2000 hours and i still havent beaten the tutorial

[sleek gull]

2000 hours and I still haven't even paid yet!

[shell bronze]

you guys jest but all of these things could be somebody's life rn and we wouldn't know

[drowsy flint]

i dont afk it XD

[small dove]

2000 hours and still no early access release

[drowsy flint]

i just fucking love playing it

[sleek gull]

ooof

[small dove]

double slap did him dirty...

[small dove]

damn

[small dove]

i can count each individual pixel

[small dove]

he died from that btw

[rocky wharf]

just did it lol thanks a lot hahahaha, didnt know you could enter with a lower level character

[shell bronze]

now you know

[small dove]

half sword

quarter sword

[shell bronze]

discord likes to compress stuff from my phone

[naive holly]

Mfw I boot from the .exe do ion know how many hours I actually have

[small dove]

no sword

[lapis marsh]

"post it"
"but sire the quality"
"just do it"

[rigid stirrup]

imo its best to go sword and buckler because of this

thats how i beat him the first time

[naive holly]

Gyaddamnit wrong clip the bit is canceled

[warped kiln]

hey can i somehow change the key for thrusting with my weapons? everytime i press alt and then hit enter to kick while thrusting, it changes my keyboard layout from german to english, causing me to die because some keybinds get fucked up then

[lapis marsh]

im pretty sure its space to kick

[warped kiln]

yea but when i hold alt and then press space it changes from german to english in my keyboard lay out, and it is so fucked up because i cant change that kaybind from my system, so i would like to switch it from alt to a button on my mouse, the thrust button

if you can change keybinds alreadyi n the demo idk

[lapis marsh]

i dont think you can rebind things rn

just dont kick while thrusting and you should be fine

[summer basin]

Hi
Is there a way to make the ai smarter?

[lapis marsh]

no

[warped kiln]

ai is always dumb in every game XD

[magic bolt]

all of a sudden my game keeps crashing

[trail pivot]

WHAT THE FUCK

[past viper]

how do i upgrade jro

im stuck at beggar :(

[drowsy flint]

https://tenor.com/view/obiwan-force-anan-sakirtler-obiwan-kenobi-star-wars-yes-gif-20980615

[lapis marsh]

blud think he mario

[ancient loom]

win

[lofty lily]

willie gets realistically executed via dagger

[magic bolt]

find the knife in the center and stab him dead

[lofty lily]

run at the axe boss and point the knife out like a madman

it usually works

[past viper]

i am trying 💔

[past viper]

what...

[ancient loom]

just beat the shit our of the people with candle sticks

[lofty lily]

Grab the knife in the middle

get back

[past viper]

I won against the guy with the axe

and it showed me like the farmer picture

but I still cant access it

[lofty lily]

You have to click on the farmer tier

next boss is easy if you land a shot before him

[past viper]

when it comes on the screen?

[lofty lily]

but

be careful against the 3rd boss

[lofty lily]

in the menu selection

with the different tiers

[past viper]

Its not unlocked though

[lofty lily]

it should be flashing

click on it

[past viper]

it says beggar 0/3 on the menu

nop

[lofty lily]

you acidentally entered the farmer tier as beggar willie im assuming

[past viper]

I start as beggar thats not the problem

I kill the guy with axe and iron helmet

which im assuming is beggar boss

[lofty lily]

he is

[past viper]

I then get the farmer icon pop up on the screen and the fence spawns

[lofty lily]

?

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ARE YOU IN THE VOID

[lapis marsh]

i think you're in abyss mode

[past viper]

I usually progress through the next area as well but i die in the third usually

yeah

[sharp sky]

is it normal that i can smell my computer burning when i play hs

[past viper]

isnt abyss the normal mode

[lofty lily]

Yeah not really

[lapis marsh]

NO?????

[lofty lily]

abyss is

[lofty lily]

you find stuff to protect yourself and slowly progress

[past viper]

ah

[lofty lily]

when the farmer picture pops up that means your enemy has upgraded

to the next tier

[past viper]

how do i play normally?

[lofty lily]

dont click abyss

and click on one of the tiers

[sharp sky]

click on imaged

[lofty lily]

and then press play

you can also do gauntlet mode

[past viper]

free mode?

or play demo

[lofty lily]

yeah

[lapis marsh]

play demo

\

[lofty lily]

there's 3 different gamemodes

gauntlet

[lofty lily]

abyss

and free mode

[sharp sky]

free mode has everything unlocked except baron

[past viper]

thanks

[sharp sky]

baron must be unlocked in gauntlet

[quaint urchin]

Can I reset my progress? Cause I'm stuck at the very last stage. (Baron maybe? IDK) But I cannot stop this guy lol so restart it us

Is*

[lapis marsh]

hold on the bot has a thing for this

[lapis marsh]

oh nvm just die in game

[desert acorn]

waiting for him to give up lmao

[modern gazelle]

finish it

[desert acorn]

done

to the hilt

[ancient loom]

The best abyss run ever?

[modern gazelle]

i keep ragequiting after being beaten in gaunlet but i have nothing else to do so i keep trying to beat it

[desert acorn]

at which level do you lose?

[modern gazelle]

almost always commoner

same in abyss

[quaint urchin]

Same I can't get beat the last one no matter what I do been stuck for over a month

And that's conservative lol

[ancient loom]

Take the pitchfork and stab him

[modern gazelle]

and whats that last rank thats locked even in free mode

[desert acorn]

the commoner boss is the great filter imo

[ancient loom]

You need to complete the gauntlet to unlock it

[desert acorn]

it gets easiet after him

[modern gazelle]

i really want to do it on beggar

[past viper]

bro the first boss is so fucking fast

i tried to grab a weapon and he just destroys me

[modern gazelle]

let me try to use commoner

[ancient loom]

Almost 100 h in and the game and i still struggle with him without a spear

[past viper]

the character tries to grab the leg of the champion instead of the weapon 😭

[ancient loom]

He is the slowest one in the game as far as i know

[desert acorn]

when you go for the knife, walk in circles

[past viper]

https://tenor.com/view/shaq-sad-shaq-dismissed-shaq-shaquille-o'neal-gif-17893105500149090374

[desert acorn]

run around the edge of the arena to draw him away, then run for the weapon

there are a few that work really well

[ancient loom]

Just get the long candle stick and its the easiest boss in the game

[desert acorn]

the guaranteed knife in the center is good on a kidney/hip stab

long stick is a free win

and if you get gauntlets or two bucklers

well you can call yourself rocky cause you're gonna be rocking him to sleep

[ancient loom]

Break his arm and he lost

[desert acorn]

and his legs

and his ribs

the neck too

potentially his skull

[ancient loom]

Arms are easiest to hit and he can't loses the ability to hold the axe properly so i always go for arms

[past viper]

im gonna tweak out

[ancient loom]

He and the second boss are the easiest in the game

[past viper]

he rocking my shi

im shit at this game i guess

he threw me to the side 😭

[lapis marsh]

easiest boss in the game is knight tier

[devout yew]

i wonder if we'll get burn gores and stuff in the next gore updates

[ancient loom]

Is that the one without a helmet?

[lapis marsh]

hardest bosses are 3rd, baron, and 1st in that order

[desert acorn]

what weapon were you using?

[lapis marsh]

i think so?

[sharp sky]

took this amazing photo after i died

he's just floating

[desert acorn]

because yeah the one thing he is is big, the 1st boss is just bigger and stronger, so brawling isnt gonna work unless you got the technique down

[ancient loom]

I don't play gauntlet so much so i don't remember but the scythe boss is just too easy. Unlike the old demo scythe

[past viper]

i tried to use candlestick and knife

[devout yew]

2nd boss is hard for me yo

[desert acorn]

you can wear him down or, better, debilitate him with one good hit

for the knife, hold alt

[past viper]

im not sure but I think im bad at holding weapons and swinging in general

[ancient loom]

Just do this with the candle stick

[lapis marsh]

scythe is def fairly easy

[desert acorn]

and moving the mouse up and down while alt clicking is a stab movement

get into range, stab the kidneys

[lapis marsh]

but with knight tier you have armor

[devout yew]

for the 1st boss i just weave his first attack and stab him in the gut

[past viper]

thanks

[desert acorn]

this exactly

move circles, when he moves to attack you step in fast

[devout yew]

scythe seems complicated to dodge

[desert acorn]

youll get hit by the handle, not the blade, and it's free real estate

[devout yew]

or to bait him to hit you

[ancient loom]

I guess true but the scythe is just easy because it almost never does damage

[devout yew]

after he is baited it feels like easy street

[lapis marsh]

get close to them, they cant hit you when your too close

[past viper]

i am getting the super duper op beginner boss.

this dude is stronger than everything ive ever seen

my stupid chud life

[ancient loom]

After commoner its gets better

[past viper]

i feel like I would only be able to play this game if i had vr

[desert acorn]

this game isnt a vr game tho

[lapis marsh]

we all struggled on him lmao

the difficulty of the bosses are not scaled well

[ancient loom]

Its still better than it was before tbh

[past viper]

how does he strike 3 times in a row

[desert acorn]

this is an example

[desert acorn]

here I misjudged range a bit and hit my head against his helmet

so could have been bad but I did get him

suboptimal stab but as long as you stick the knife in it usually stops him from attacking

[past viper]

holy shit

I just won by kicking the dude

i was bleeding to death and started kicking him repeatedly

[lapis marsh]

thats how it be

[past viper]

this is my life now

[modern gazelle]

actually???

[desert acorn]

why was I not invited to this party?

[past viper]

deadass

greatest clutch ever

on the verge of death his axe got stuck on my leg

[modern gazelle]

i die because i cant a good weaopon in abyss 9/ 10 times

[past viper]

and he picked up a stool instead

this is not abyss i think abyss is easier honestly

probably because in abyss you can find clothes and such

and you have some time to prepare

[desert acorn]

in a pinch the lanterns can be quite good

until you get something better

[past viper]

the lanterns are weapons?

[limber socket]

this game is so frustrating but i love it

[desert acorn]

a good hook to the jaw tends to work well

[past viper]

I thought they are only used for lightning

[desert acorn]

you can pick them up yeah

[modern gazelle]

i never wear tops. gotta see those nipples

[past viper]

amazing

[modern gazelle]

theyre super usefull blunt and sharp on either ends

[ancient loom]

Emotional support willie helps with though battle

[modern gazelle]

+50% health boost there

[desert acorn]

not just the candlesticks

the actual lanterns

those can be useful for punching if you have nothing better

[modern gazelle]

you can pick those up

[desert acorn]

yeah

[modern gazelle]

you cant in gaunlet/free

im thinking of candles

[desert acorn]

cause there arent

[modern gazelle]

nvm

[desert acorn]

I was responding to the you die in abyss cause no good weapons part

[ancient loom]

We all know that the candle stick is the one of the most op weapons in the game already

[desert acorn]

which is why I was not talking about the candlesticks in the first place

I was talking about an underrated thing that can save you in abyss

[ancient loom]

Yeah but i never used lanterns that much. i always just went from the first falchion i found as my secondary

Maybe i should start using them

A candle stick + 5 lanters on the belt

[desert acorn]

I ignored the candlesticks on purpose here

[past viper]

holy shit farmer boss is so easy

peak!

[desert acorn]

just to show what can happen if you dont find anything good

but lantern can be great

also the game gave me that ukraine flag drip on this run

[ancient loom]

I mean i saw a guy complete the old beta with only lanterns

[ancient loom]

I love the feeling when you get clothing before the first boss. I went a whole game until soldier without clothes because i didn't find any

[desert acorn]

ok lantern kit is done

[past viper]

WHAT

[lapis marsh]

its upside down bozo

[past viper]

you can equip them like that?

[desert acorn]

just need two more

yeah ik goofy

sadly i rarely find yellow pants

[ancient loom]

The game just loves me. I got all this before the commoner boss

[desert acorn]

lights out for him

lets see how far I can go with just lanterns

[naive holly]

If you tap one of your mouse buttons it holds the lantern out and lights ahead of you automatically lol

[light pike]

bro didnt stand a chance

[sleek gull]

Live in 5, link in bio.

[lapis marsh]

piss in pants >:3

[past viper]

ayo what

i got thrown into the abyss

is that part of the gameplay

[modern gazelle]

yes

[ancient loom]

Yes

[rotund galleon]

did you die or click the willie in the main screen too many times?

[past viper]

i died

[ancient loom]

Pissing in pants stream? Finally some good content

[modern gazelle]

when you die its like a redemption chance when you die

[past viper]

OH SHIT

[modern gazelle]

what

[past viper]

i lost progress

damn.

[modern gazelle]

🫡

how far were you

[past viper]

commoner

[naive holly]

Not too shibby

[past viper]

whatever i will try conquering the game once i have time

have fun yall

[light pike]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kTJmo0XfZrRSjIoZK?invite=cr-MSwxcTksMjg3NjQ4MDQ5

a battle well fought

he almost had me

little did he know my legs were far more powerful than a mere sword

[modern gazelle]

full on karate there

[modern gazelle]

new feature??

[light pike]

wdym

[modern gazelle]

just the karate chop

[rotund galleon]

helmets are a hindrance when you have no other senses to rely on for spatial awareness

[ancient loom]

A perfectly normal loot spawn

[lapis marsh]

ok i cut your head open

[rotund galleon]

i mean for first person veiw

id rather have an open head in this game than not be able to see where my weapon is so that i can block

[lapis marsh]

just dont use first person view

[naive holly]

Use open sallets

Or theres one specific closed sallet that gives an open view

[rotund galleon]

i know how to fix it im just stating a fact

[light pike]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kTJvTidkhxEMCJDPR?invite=cr-MSxFa2osMjg3NjQ4MDQ5

[rotund galleon]

but thank you

[naive holly]

It do be annoying but we just endure

[proven verge]

i enjoy FP how it is rn

[lapis marsh]

DAMN that was clean

[proven verge]

Tis my specialty the good ole face poke

[uncut atlas]

basement dweller levels of accuracy on this one

[proven verge]

thats not even the sweatiest

[uncut atlas]

Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground. Grass is usually pigmented with the colour ‘green’. Grasses are monocotyledon, herbaceous plants.

The grasses include the "grass", of the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae). Also sometimes it is used to include the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but belong to different clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style.

The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others.

Many grasses are short, but some grasses, like bamboo can grow very tall. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places, even if they are very cold or very dry. Several other plants that look similar but are not members of the grass family are also sometimes called grass; these include rushes, reeds, papyrus, and water chestnut.

[lapis marsh]

oh my god hes crazy with it

[lapis marsh]

i aint reading allat

[uncut atlas]

you can literally read the whole thing in like 20 seconds

[lapis marsh]

nah

i cant read

im a halfsword fan

[proven verge]

its in the name sir ❤️

[uncut atlas]

just chopped off two limbs without getting a single drop of blood on my sword

my sword technique is superior

[verbal vessel]

can i still play the demo? its not lettting me install on steam

[lapis marsh]

is it because its already installed?

[ancient loom]

I hate myself for knowing this meme

[proven verge]

if youre referring to the playtest, only if you launch it from the game directory

[verbal vessel]

you are a genius

[lapis marsh]

lmao

[verbal vessel]

thanks man

[jolly gorge]

#photography📷 message

💀

[pearl ferry]

hollywood type beat

[desert acorn]

gotta love going through gauntlet again :D

I keep trying to get this move clean on an enemy thats still up

as a nice finisher to a fight

aka stab, then left hand grab so that right hand can push the blade all the way through

[uncut atlas]

half sword devs acting like some crazy mf wont keep swinging his sword with one arm

adrenaline exists bro

[desert acorn]

and sometimes you can

adrenaline wont do much when you are in full shock though

you arent always some crazy mf

sometimes you're just some mf who just lost half his blood

[bold jacinth]

GOSH I LOVE HEADSHOTTING WILLIE WITH MY FISTS

[desert acorn]

cut 100 people's arm off and see how many are still trying to fight lmao

nice parries

[steady cove]

The fun I have with visual enhancer

1. Select peseants
2. Kill the original opponent, replacing them with no-brain peasants.
3. Give myself a mace and whack one of their legs til it breaks
4. Watch them hop around like idiots
5. If they fall, help them stand up again.

[uncut atlas]

what even is visual enhancer

[steady cove]

It's a mod that lets you customise some things.

[shell bronze]

half sword enhancer

[steady cove]

I realise it's called enhancer not visual enhancer.

[uncut atlas]

honestly why is it so easy to cut limbs off

[shell bronze]

gore setting

lower it to make it harder

[desert acorn]

what did you set gore to?

[uncut atlas]

you cant cut off limbs below grotesque

[desert acorn]

you can

[lapis marsh]

you can

[desert acorn]

it just is harder

skill issue bro

[shell bronze]

you can

its just more realistic

[steady cove]

You can, especially with long-swords.

[shell bronze]

and axes

[desert acorn]

been chopping arms and heads off all the time with peasant felling axe in lower settings

[lapis marsh]

its super easy to bisect someone with an axe even at normal gore settings

[shell bronze]

especially the bitchass veteran-maa axe

[steady cove]

That one is so good.

[shell bronze]

it's such a bs weapon

[desert acorn]

wish we could have replays of fights

[shell bronze]

i would make the nastiest hard sword edit if we could

[desert acorn]

just to be able to see what was outside my camera angle

[steady cove]

Nah the BS weapon is the club with spikes.

[desert acorn]

I play first person all the time and I'm sure some of my greatest moves were outside my FOV

brawler loadout done

[steady cove]

Where does the lamp connect?

[desert acorn]

what do you mean?

lamps have the same attachment points as any 1 handed weapon

so first one on each side is on the hip, and second one is on the back

[steady cove]

It wasn't a technical question. 😭

[lapis marsh]

bro hookin em onto his ass

[desert acorn]

ofc

asslight meta

[lapis marsh]

youve all heard of gaslight meta now get ready for asslight meta

[desert acorn]

he was right to put his hand up

bro saw it coming

tried to play defensively against commoner boss

it did end up working somehow

[steady cove]

Who would win?

[desert acorn]

Willie 100%

[shell bronze]

damn bro you got hella touched by that sword

[desert acorn]

yeah

not sure how he didnt end me

idk why but my parries are always weak

do you have to half sword every time to parry well?

[wintry coral]

There’s a way to spawn another one of yourself?

Like spawn another character

[shell bronze]

ok it's been a good couple days since i last played

time to get back into the swing of things

[shell bronze]

it's just him and his fatass sword that messes with the parrying

fighting another commoner you parry just fine

or even greatswords

[desert acorn]

even regular longsword dudes their swords just seem to slip through mine

[shell bronze]

i parry man at arms greatswords and longswords all the time perfectly fine

[shell bronze]

you get a feel for it

after you do you just toy around with them

[desert acorn]

okay thanks ill keep practicing

[shell bronze]

i have a clip sending rn

give it a second

@desert acorn

[desert acorn]

nice!

[shell bronze]

if you need advice or general pointers on how to mess around with 2h sword gameplay i'm happy to give it along with the footage to help you visualize

[desert acorn]

thanks, I do think I mostly just need more practice though
