halfsword-chat-⚔

[shell bronze]

tried doing it until i just got sick of it

i used to do it until i realized it's lowkey not constructive

i dance with them and toy around

people have no concept of backstepping in this game and it genuinely infuriates me

• no wind up and all floaty/flail movements

naw don't do that

those swing/high force parries have more narrow windows and aren't very reliable

it's cool and i do it sometimes

[bronze elk]

Im actually so crazy with the sheild

i mean axe

[restive barn]

they definitely toyed with the damage settings in ult challenge

[shell bronze]

but definitely not too effective

that's right

[bronze elk]

Yea i wish there was an option to make them beter

[shell bronze]

there's the swing parry

[candid mist]

Ugh I rlly wanna get into blade and sorcery again, swordfights in vr are so nice 🙏

[shell bronze]

that's gotta hurt

slit his wrist and put him in an arm lock to wring his blood out ❤️

yeah it's fun doing that

[bronze elk]

But i am like 10x better with the axe than swords

[shell bronze]

but the play has to be perfect afterwards or you just end up in aura debt

FILTHY grappler

i had to recover aura

[bronze elk]

I only got like 12

[shell bronze]

100+ hours in and you just decide that swords and polearms are the primary two disciplines

axes are basic and OP

maces don't do shit and are also basic

polearms look good with some flourish

and swords are just infinite aura

[bronze elk]

Ive litterally been playing the game for like 4 hours straight now

[shell bronze]

nothing beats an honorable sword duel that's semi realistic and still fun

[bronze elk]

I wanna see it so bad

Why does discord not let me see it?

[shell bronze]

if you want to see it just open it in a link in the browser

might be a better option

[bronze elk]

How

[shell bronze]

right click vid

open link

[bronze elk]

The tab just dissapeared

[shell bronze]

it just downloaded to your device

[bronze elk]

yea it deletes itself like instantly

[shell bronze]

open it there

[bronze elk]

I dont want to see it that bad

Just fuck discord

[naive holly]

Not my video but holy FUCK

[shell bronze]

could also be the 1440p

[naive holly]

SHENANIGANS

[bronze elk]

I can see this one

[shell bronze]

some devices aren't goated enough to render the full 1440p60

[bronze elk]

LMAO

[bronze elk]

I have an RX 7800XT

[naive holly]

Clueless computer is gatekeeping

[shell bronze]

@naive holly

try this for shenanigans

[bronze elk]

Lol

[naive holly]

PLEASE 😂😂😂

I love shenanigans

[bronze elk]

fr

[shell bronze]

feels good coming home to play half sword after a full night of after-work street racing and car meet

[naive holly]

TAKE IT TO GENERAL POSER

/s

[shell bronze]

😒

[naive holly]

Tis the first weekened of the football season and I am not a sports guy and everyone is talking about bar crawl this bar crawl that how about I crawl in bed

[bronze elk]

BRO MY GUY CANNOT HOLD HIS WEAPON CORRECTLY FOR THE LIFE OF HIM

I will stand and hold right click and he will just have one hand on the weapon

[naive holly]

What weapon

[bronze elk]

Every

[naive holly]

Well that is peculiar

Got a clip

[shell bronze]

works on my machine

[bronze elk]

I dont got a recording softwear

[naive holly]

Bc the one handed letting go of weapon shittiness is pretty exclusive to polemarms

[shell bronze]

@naive holly check this

[naive holly]

Every windows computer has gamebar

Built in

[bronze elk]

But he will eventually double hand it after like 5 secs

[shell bronze]

the last attack in the clip is my favorite thing to have happened when using polearms

[bronze elk]

I turned it off to save resourses

[naive holly]

I do love when half swording glitchyness lets you straight PUNCH a mf

Also the way his head robbed after the first bonk lol

[shell bronze]

nah that wasn't even half sword

[naive holly]

Welp

[shell bronze]

i just perfectly timed my swing to my guy adjusting his grip

[bronze elk]

Ill turn it on

[naive holly]

Ah, reminded me a lot of this

[shell bronze]

and caught it right as his other hand hit the polearm

the insane twirl

literally showoff tech

[shell bronze]

something like that yeah

[bronze elk]

It says gaming features arenent avalible for the windows desktop or windows explorer

[naive holly]

Ah well, I have no idea why your willie wont 2hand

[shell bronze]

hook neck snap strat goes insane

[naive holly]

THE RAT IS BACK

Old

[hexed owl]

Any tips on beating the first boss?

[shell bronze]

knife in the center

double click to stab

[naive holly]

Hes the most fun out of all of them

Yeah knife is the best strat

[shell bronze]

get knife, aim knife at him, wait until he swings, run in and stab

[timid imp]

ow his face

[naive holly]

Or the long candleabra is busted

[timid imp]

the rat has to relearn how to halfsword

[timid imp]

he forgor

[shell bronze]

do this

not the kick

just stab him

[hexed owl]

thanks for the tips! I'll give 'em a try rn

[shell bronze]

he might headbutt you but that's ok

knife through artery > concussion

[mental kelp]

bro will never learn

[naive holly]

Can beat him to death, stab em, break his kneecaps

[mental kelp]

undern schnit

[bronze elk]

It just happened to me

when i picked up a candal holder it was stuck in my body

[timid imp]

im messing up so many cuts 😭

atleast i can still kinda do the thing

works against pretty much any polearm

tf happened 💀

[bronze elk]

Fuck parrying

its so inconsistant

[timid imp]

this was a fun little fight

[bronze elk]

If its inconsistant for us it should be inconsistant for the AI

OMG the gripping weapon bug happened again

[shell bronze]

works on my machine

[bronze elk]

its usually after i pick it up or i turn weird

[shell bronze]

#parryeverything

[hexed owl]

you guys are crazy quick

[shell bronze]

@mental kelp meyer square for good luck

ghost of tsushima stances

[golden carbon]

any tips on how to deal with the armored enemies running at you and just trying to aggressively press into you?

[shell bronze]

run the other way and twirl out of the way

[bronze elk]

Ok i found out when my character wants to hold weapons silly style

Whenever I spawn, turn, or at random sometimes my character will not hold weapons correctly

This is when I press right click btw

[shell bronze]

@golden carbon

you're free to stop watching after i do the twirl since it's just me killing him

but i place my weapon against him and immediately get out of the way before he does anything else

water stance from ghost of tsushima

[bronze elk]

I HATE GRU

[shell bronze]

he's not that bad to kill gng 💔

use pitchfork

ghost of tsushima wind stance

[bronze elk]

isnt his range farther than that though?

[shell bronze]

it's actually about even

[bronze elk]

Oh

[shell bronze]

look

he's so easy with pitchfork

[wary tinsel]

I found a new tech

[bronze elk]

How do you dash so quick???

I dash like 2 cetimeters

[shell bronze]

hold shift and press in any direction for a quick dodge

[wary tinsel]

You pull a forfeit mid match when you're clearly winning to taunt your opponent

Like hold G for a second and stop

[bronze elk]

Thats what im doing]

[humble bloom]

Also your performance affects the physics, so if your machine is struggling you will get different results.
If I play on dx11 instead of dx12 I feel like willie dashes noticeably further and faster.
Also seems to affect dismemberment and vital hit detection.

[bronze elk]

Im on 12

[wary tinsel]

So it's based on FPS or something?

[mental kelp]

Yes

[wary tinsel]

More FPS = slightly faster?

Somebody forgot to use deltatime 💔

[humble bloom]

Probably

I think capping the fps alleviates some of the more obvious effects, at least visually.

[shell bronze]

ghost of tsushima moon stance

[humble bloom]

So I'm not entirely sure whats going on under the hood.
Hopefully it'll all be irrelevant in early access anyway, so I never have to learn any computer stuff to give a proper explanation.

[mental kelp]

Probably so esp for multiplayer compat

[shell bronze]

[shell bronze]

new tech discovered and verified (it's literally just actual irl swordfighting technique)

[strange token]

was there an update in the last 24 hours? feels different. More responsive

[humble bloom]

Not any public updates.
In fact the last recorded update on steamDB was 4 days ago, for a private branch.

[bronze elk]

GUYS IM ON THE KNIGHT BOSS

I GOT HIM!!!

What is the ultimate challange?

Did it save?

Am i finally free?

[shell bronze]

no lmao

[bronze elk]

And why is there a purple man on my screen

[hasty jetty]

you have to go through 1 last fight

[shell bronze]

your worst moments in half sword are about to happen

good luck.

(turn your blood off)

[bronze elk]

:C

alr

gore as well?

[hasty jetty]

no

theres a weird glitch where blood will crash your game

[bronze elk]

ok

[hasty jetty]

gore wont though

as far as i know

you start with just a knife, and have to battle your way up

think of the abyss but much more condensed

[bronze elk]

with just a knife?

can i take other peoples weapons?

[hasty jetty]

you can

[bronze elk]

And do i reset everything if i die

[hasty jetty]

try it and see

[bronze elk]

NO

I DONT WANNA :C

[hasty jetty]

https://tenor.com/view/fail-learn-yoda-luke-star-wars-gif-5985714

[golden ether]

im over here about to beat the baron no weapons

[hasty jetty]

you have to try

[bronze elk]

:C

[hasty jetty]

i wanna watch

you should stream in the vc

[bronze elk]

I would but i dont have the VC

Oh wait i do

its in a different spot

VC 1

[restive barn]

i chromeus 334eus joined

[golden ether]

i managed to disarm him, he pulled out the greatsword and cut my hand off

[restive barn]

i just got slashed by a haft

[snow gulch]

bro said luke, i am your father

[restive barn]

is ts what everything led up to🥀

took me 15 secs to beat him

[bronze elk]

Can you heal in the final match?

I have a broken leg and im using frog tactics to run away from my enemies

[restive barn]

no

[wary tinsel]

The champion is such ragebait

[bronze elk]

Im playing it in vc rn

[wary tinsel]

Like why do they spawn you in with no weapon but they spawn the dude in with an axe

[bronze elk]

First time really

[wary tinsel]

The moment you spawn in you're basically dead

You gotta run around tryna pick up the shit while he chases you

You stop for a moment?

Dead gg

[restive barn]

poleaxe rev grip

[wary tinsel]

Also why does my shit never go into the enemy when I charge at them

Like when you hold it out

It just kinda bounces off them and causes me to die

It's like it's made of rubber

[twin raptor]

Loadout maker when?

[hasty jetty]

#modders-guild-hall

[restive barn]

ask @naive holly

[wary tinsel]

This game would be so fire as a pvp game

Like could you imagine

You could have a ranked gamemode or something

[restive barn]

WE KNOW

sory

[wary tinsel]

It's probably not feasible though

[restive barn]

had to get that out of my system

[wary tinsel]

Due to the physics engine and stuff

Unless the devs already plan on it

[pearl zinc]

is that his brain

cuz it weird

[wary tinsel]

I mean

What do you expect

4k textures?

[pearl zinc]

i expected his brain to not take up %100 of his inner skull

[wary tinsel]

The reason it's so unrealistic is because nobody cares

It's not a thing you look at

Or you're supposed to zoom into

[pearl zinc]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/951877401737068544.gif?size=96&quality=lossless

[azure siren]

why can this game be so fun

[wary tinsel]

The gore is just there

[pearl zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/monke-gif-4007877678756330230

[golden ether]

it do be like that

[pearl zinc]

joker

[wary tinsel]

Is that a mod

I haven't seen this level of gore

[golden ether]

nah thats quipper

he lives in a community

[wary tinsel]

His step father was an honest man and a cop

He would say "why so funny?"

[pearl zinc]

nah this the joker

[pearl zinc]

nah

[wary tinsel]

I've never seen this level of gore though even on max settings

It just kinda paints the head red

No deformation at least

[golden ether]

i think the graphics might have a part to play

[pearl zinc]

im on medium graphics

low looks like clay

[wary tinsel]

I'm on max graphics 😭

[pearl zinc]

and high is unplayable on my pc

[wary tinsel]

How is it worse than yours 😭

[pearl zinc]

just zoom in on a deep cut

see this knife?

[wary tinsel]

no

[pearl zinc]

dmg from the knifethe blood is from him dying before the cut

bro what

e

i thought it was 2 ** for that to happen

[pearl zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/pluh-cat-cat-meme-caption-worldbox-gif-8990606681903386683

[golden ether]

that's not a knife

[pearl zinc]

sharp object

[wary tinsel]

He's right

[golden ether]

i was gonna post an image after i said that so i cant

[wary tinsel]

It's not a knife

[pearl zinc]

like that?

[wary tinsel]

It's a shapeshifting amorphous blob

[golden ether]

can someone who can post pictures here post a photo of a falcion? for the funnies?

[wary tinsel]

A mimic even

really?

[pearl zinc]

but ye

cleaver

[golden ether]

this is a bit of el pisstake

[pearl zinc]

i think

[golden ether]

ive left servers for less than not letting me post a gif

[pearl zinc]

still a type of knife tho

[golden ether]

yeah in the grand scheme of things it is a knife

but its more of a chopper knife than a knife knife

[pearl zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/sybau-syaos-british-english-ts-pmo-gif-18322740700124619850

nae, i think i shall do no such thing you scoundrel.

[pearl zinc]

but yeah imma hop off now

for a bit

[pearl zinc]

but yeah imma hop off

cya

[golden ether]

laters

[wary tinsel]

No that's syao

[golden ether]

remember when you used to be able to disembowel people in halfsword?

those where the days man

[wary tinsel]

You can't do that anymore?

[golden ether]

i mean you can slice that area open

but the intestines dont pop out do a lil dancy dance no more

[wary tinsel]

That kinda sucks man

It was so cool

[golden ether]

I JUST DID WHAT IVE BEEN TRYING TO DO FOR AGES

I THREW A KNIFE AND CUT A BITCH

[wary tinsel]

Can you still chop body parts off

Cus I've been trying but it isn't doing anything

[golden ether]

youve got your gore on max right?

[wary tinsel]

yeah

You used to be able to just hack at the neck and it pops off

[golden ether]

you can do that still you just gotta up NPC damage to get it more consistently

i stabbed a dude in the shin with a thrown dagger

if only it had stuck that would have been fucking sick

[golden ether]

also, if you hit someone in the throat with a blunt weapon hard enough they start choking and shit

[ember berry]

Why does passive parry gotta do me dirty all the time smh

sometimes i just wanna hold my guard

[golden ether]

here's the thing you gotta remember

if i see a guy blocking, and he isnt trying to move with my strikes then his ankles are mine

[naive holly]

Here

[pearl zinc]

for somereason i only get super close to throwing stuff

sometimes i will hit them but it jsut bruises them

or something gets flung at them through a glitch and they get hit idk

[wary tinsel]

The hardest thing in this game is doing damage

Like real damage

It's so incredibly hard to cut and stab

Because every weapon seems to be made out of rubber and wants to slide off the person

[rigid stirrup]

is your npc damage turned super low or something?

usually one good thrust or swing is enough to take someone out

some weapons definitely feel blunt though, like the rondel dagger

but others are crazily sharp like the 2 handed axe and falchion

[ember zephyr]

Old abyss

[restive barn]

sword

[wary tinsel]

Dude I can't hit nothing in this game

If I try to stab or cut somebody, one of the following options happen:

1. They magically 1 tap me before I touch them
2. My blade bounces/slides off their skin like rubber and they counter + I'm dead gg too ez
3. Instead of the blade touching the enemy, my hands touch the enemy and my blades just does a little twirl
4. It does nothing and they're fine
5. I miss

I literally never hit them and it does real damage

This isn't even like fodian difficulty

Fodian games have always been "easy"

What makes them fodian games though is the fact that you can lose a whole bunch of progression with 1 mistake

This game is just incredibly incredibly hard to play for no reason 😭

Like half the time I'm TOUCHING the enemy too

Like my blade will literally glide over their skin and do nothing

If that was real life they'd be DEAD

Idk I like the concept of the game where it's a purely (or at least for the most part) skill based combat game

But the baseline skill required to simply play the game needs to be reduced

[glacial chasm]

u are ass btw

turn difficulty down

[covert forge]

game gets way easier

honestly skill issue

[wary tinsel]

How bro 💀

[glacial chasm]

Bro is so ass he can't figure out the settings menu

no wonder

[maiden umbra]

I mean there isn’t a dedicated difficultly setting

U can only turn the damage down

[signal wedge]

stop being toxic

[last spoke]

is it possible to reset data?

[soft osprey]

Yes

[last spoke]

okay thank you i didn't see that

[ancient loom]

I think you need to hit harder and focus on the position of your sword so you don't miss. It takes some time to get used to the distance especially with swords so train the distancing too.

[restive barn]

1% DE CHANCE???

[ancient loom]

Baron can turn into ai slop 1% of de time?

[restive barn]

yes

[rigid stirrup]

fodian these nuts

genuinely though can you send some footage

you must be comically bad

you can literally run at someone with an axe in your hand and they will be cleaved in two

[ancient loom]

I barley touched his leg and it just disconnected

[ember zephyr]

Bro what difficulties are you on

It takes a good 3 hits in the same place to disconnect

[dapper briar]

willie didn’t listen to his mom about drinking milk, so now he is fragile

[ancient loom]

It was normal damage to both. Grotesque gore settings

[ember zephyr]

Grotesque 😔

[wary tinsel]

That's actually unrealistic

If somebody takes a battle axe to your leg it's gone gg

[ancient loom]

I didn't know it was that easy to cut off someone's legs on that gore settings i normally play on gruesome

[wary tinsel]

Everybody is 1 tap irl

Realistically speaking

[ember zephyr]

I didn't think gore affected difficulties

[ancient loom]

It does. Higer gore = higer dismemberment chance

[wary tinsel]

ak 47

[ancient loom]

Not everybody is one tap irl

[wary tinsel]

yes bro

everybody is 1 tap

No matter how strong or built you are

[restive barn]

no

[ember zephyr]

That's worng

[wary tinsel]

If somebody takes a battle axe to your neck you're dead

There's no buts about it

You're dead buddy

Same thing to chest

And probably any other location because of blood loss

[ancient loom]

But that is a battle axe. If you get cut with a sword you can still fight for some time

[wary tinsel]

💔

[ancient loom]

Depends on the area but you can

[wary tinsel]

A sword can cut your head clean off in 1 swing

A good sword at least*

No matter how you put it, most weapons will 1 tap you

If we imagine you have no emergency care

Like in this sort of gladiator situation

The human body is incredibly weak

[ancient loom]

But why the head. Most hits in a sword fight will occur on the arms and legs which is not always lethal

[wary tinsel]

They're not lethal on their own

But the blood loss will knock you unconscious within a couple of seconds

And then the person is just gonna kill you

So like

I'd still count that as "1 tap"

Even though it's technically 2 hits

I mean you'd still die if they left you there to bleed out so technically it's still 1 hit but y'know

[ember zephyr]

You guys don't know the lore Willie has kevlar skin

Axe gonna ricochet

[wary tinsel]

The weapons feel too rubbery in this game though

Nobody can say otherwise they do

The weapons need to have more stick to them

Like sticking to the skin and going inside

It feels like my swords just rub their face

[ancient loom]

Willie microdosed getting cut in his childhood so he can survive all the cuts

[ember zephyr]

But if u hit someone with the side of an axe and miss of course it won't do much damage

[wary tinsel]

Matter of fact I'm probably healing them

I'm giving them a free massage

[ember zephyr]

Real he's conditioned

[wary tinsel]

Well yeah

I didn't say everything 1 taps you

Just most weapons when used "correctly"

[ember zephyr]

With the stab u probably have no momentum

[wary tinsel]

Like using a sword as blunt force won't rlly work

oh we talking about the game now mb

[ember zephyr]

If ur too close it doesn't do anything

What

[wary tinsel]

Nvm

I'm probably just ass at this game I'm ngl

[ancient loom]

I would need to see some gameplay because that is probably a skill issue ngl

[ember zephyr]

So am i and i have 40hrs

It's a difficult game to get good at

[wary tinsel]

Actually lemme show y'all rq hold on

Y'all bouta see the dual of a lifetime

[ember zephyr]

Nah that 3rd boss though such a paib

Pain*

[wary tinsel]

The bosses themselves aren't hard

It's the fact that they spawn with a weapon and you don't

So you have to fumble around whilst they chase you

[ember zephyr]

I either 1 shot him or he parries me and combos the hell out of me

[ember zephyr]

Only 1st dude

[bronze elk]

Yea the begining isnt that hard

until 3rd

and even then the pitchfork will kill him

[wary tinsel]

Okay I got some gameplay

But I won so like

Still I played like ass

[ancient loom]

Let us see it

[wary tinsel]

Nvm I can't it's too big 💔

[bronze elk]

Use 8mbvideo and itll compress it for you

Idk if i can post the link

[wary tinsel]

Found it

[wary tinsel]

Holy this gameplay is so bad what am I doing

[bronze elk]

your new of course it will be bad

im also new lol

[wary tinsel]

Oh

bruh

#game-footage-🎮🎥

My gameplay 💔

[ancient loom]

I have almost 200h across all the demos and im still not good

[bronze elk]

you aint even bad

[wary tinsel]

Bro wdym 😭

[ancient loom]

Playing spoilance doesn't tell us much. You are just beating people to death with a candle stick. Maybe try some free play

[bronze elk]

I wouldnt be so conservitive with how you swing though

[wary tinsel]

I can't hit my shots though

[bronze elk]

You can swing way more than that

[wary tinsel]

I don't wanna get into the habit of spazzing out though

Like just swinging all over the place

[wary tinsel]

okay wait

[bronze elk]

Dont do it too much then

[wary tinsel]

bruh I won again

This isn't proving my point

like bruh what are the chances I 1 tapped him through the armor perfectly

Like I literally stabbed him perfectly through the armor

Bro this has to be a fluke

#game-footage-🎮🎥 look at this 💔

It still took me a whole minute to kill him though

I aint never played with swords though I'm ngl

Or at least with this class

[ancient loom]

Knight is one of the worst classes for me because the armor makes everyone invincible so you need to use a polearm or half sword someone into the ground to win 99% of the time

[wary tinsel]

So I got super lucky with that stab?

Basically

[ancient loom]

Not super lucky but kinda lucky for sure

[wary tinsel]

Idk why I'm so buns though

Like I just can't control the blade all that well

Y'know what this game needs

Mouse smoothing wouldn't be bad

Where it smooths out your micro movements

So you aren't making goofy swings

[candid egret]

the humble half-swording into the side of their neck:

[ancient loom]

I forgot about that tbh

I don't play knight it sucks ass. Man at arms is the most i can play with

[candid egret]

the humble 2-handed mace to the head:

[wary tinsel]

The humble fists:

Y'all don't use fists against knights?

[candid egret]

when in desperate times yes

[wary tinsel]

Damn

I been using fists like 60% of my time playing this game though

I'm ngl

This game desperately needs some extra features and tools to help out noobs though

Like an actual practice mode

Instead of that 1 dummy it's actual humans

But they're just standing there

Y'know

Like dummy humans

So you can learn swings and shit

[ancient loom]

Its all about control. I suck at this and i can still make so smooth movements sometimes

[wary tinsel]

Is the crosshair broken rn btw?

Cus enabling the center crosshair kinda does nothing

[candid egret]

ive been grinding moulge swings to make them look even more tuff

[bronze elk]

Yea i noticed that too

[wary tinsel]

It'd be nice to have a crosshair lowkey

Could help with coordination a little

Cus then you can kinda see how far off you are from center

[ancient loom]

I think its a setting left out from when the game had a crosshair back in the old demo

[bronze elk]

What gore lvl should I have for baron?

[wary tinsel]

Damn they should lowkey add that back

A crosshair would go hard

And a visualization thing

[ancient loom]

If you are going to fight him turn it down all the way otherwise it will crash

[wary tinsel]

Like a transparent line going from the crosshair to where your mouse is

To show your real mouse location

[bronze elk]

One of my monitors have a hardcoded crosshair

[bronze elk]

Thats for blood not gore

[ancient loom]

I didn't like the old crosshair. i much prefer seeing just my weapon and nothing else so im not distracted

[ancient loom]

i turned down both

[wary tinsel]

I think a circle crosshair would be fine

Like literally just a filled circle

About 8px in radius

And like 50% transparency

I'm just now realizing that alt is for thrusting

bruh

what happened to half sword enhancer

[karmic socket]

it's under moderation for some reason

[naive granite]

yeah i wonder why

[bronze elk]

What does the baron even give you?

Willy is watching

[clear shore]

i get 2nd level when i die i get tp in the fog?

[bronze elk]

GUYS I MIGHT BEAT THE BARON

IM ON THE LAST BOSS\

WHAT DO I DO???

Bruh :c

Wtf do i do against him???

I dided but i want to know what i do next time

He barely nicked my nose and i instantly died

[turbid quail]

What I did is I went behind his legs

No armor behind that

[bronze elk]

damn i wish i knew that

[turbid quail]

I died to him 3 times before i killed him

[bronze elk]

How many hours did you have at the time?

Can I heal by just running around for a while?

[restive barn]

no

[bronze elk]

It seemed to work when i did it

Guys do you know when you are in camera mode and go inside willy's head, you can see he has no brain

This is because he is stupid as fuck

[pearl ferry]

willie really thought he had me dead to rights

[bronze elk]

damn it must be nice to have blood

[turbid quail]

fr i have to disable it otherwise i crash

[bronze elk]

I have to because im in the baron rn

[restive barn]

gn

[hazy olive]

any tips of how to handle a spiked spear without being able to ourtreach it?

[harsh imp]

yes! Wrestle

[hazy olive]

it feels like before i can close the distance i get stabbed

and when i try to move the threat away

i get stuck because of spikes

and i get stabbed in the process

[harsh imp]

jk in all seriousness, just move around it or shoot a double leg when willie lifts it up

thats the easiest way to do it

[hazy olive]

talking about the last challenge btw

where i have no armor

[bronze elk]

Average willy activities

[hazy olive]

a double leg?

[harsh imp]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kopYnU9e8buxo92sK?invite=cr-MSxCZHgsMjQ0Njc5MTYw&v=26

take him down

[hazy olive]

oh shit

didnt know you could do that

damn

[harsh imp]

yessirrr

[bronze elk]

Ive been counting how many times ive tried the barron challenge

122 times

[hazy olive]

I am probably close to that number

had 3 attemtps on the last fight but it crashed

[bronze elk]

Oof

Ive only had one

and ive been fucked over a lot of times

[harsh imp]

how many hours you got on halfsword in total

both versions added together

[bronze elk]

23.3 hours

[harsh imp]

yikes

[hazy olive]

im on 37.5

[harsh imp]

lemme do some math rq

509.5 hours

[hazy olive]

whats going on

[bronze elk]

Ive been speedrunnign the first 3-4 waves but after that i litterally do no damage unless someone spawns with the polearm spiky thing

[hazy olive]

i pray for a billhook or a bardishe

preferably a bardishe because it can bonk well

[bronze elk]

billhook is ass whenever i use it

[hazy olive]

takes time for me

[ancient loom]

Im on almost 200h if you combine playtest and the new demo

[hazy olive]

but its much more effective than the rest

[ancient loom]

I had also like 40h at the old demo

[hazy olive]

just takes a lot of swings to land something

[bronze elk]

Ive litterally never seen that

The bardishe

[hazy olive]

like a halabard i guess

[harsh imp]

nice nice, on the demo i have 207.7 hours and then on the playest i have 301.9 hours

[hazy olive]

more than a bardishe

[bronze elk]

and when i do its either a blunt hit or it does kinda nothing

[pearl ferry]

billhook is great

[hazy olive]

yeah but sometimes it gits that neck or something

[pearl ferry]

but it is definitely a finesse weapon

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1397557404064940123/hi_bill.mp4?ex=68b592c2&is=68b44142&hm=148d217ff095989c4659d80a5ecb738e5c080502875db964eda96838dd1f845b&

[hazy olive]

and you have infinite ammount of tries

[bronze elk]

I can never get it to aim that high

[hazy olive]

unless you slip and the enemy breaks through and pounces at you

[hazy olive]

i have to readjust my camera

every now and then

[bronze elk]

I can very rarely get downward strickes to hit where i want

[ancient loom]

I love the voulge

[bronze elk]

the sensetivity there is SO HIGH

[hazy olive]

yeah

and its annoying how accurate AI is with thrusts

[bronze elk]

Even if i use slow mo its almsot impossible

[scenic quail]

The spear is so underrated

[hazy olive]

until shield and cuirasses appear

[scenic quail]

Skill issue

[hazy olive]

dont doubt that

[scenic quail]

The spear really only becomes useless at the knight tier

[hazy olive]

never said it is useless

its definitely my favourite weapon, until those things appear

[scenic quail]

Never said you did

The spear is like a glorified shank i love it so much

[deep shale]

the spear to me is a quarterstaff

bashing people with the shaft is pretty effective.
the spearhead scoring a cut is a nice bonus.

[candid mist]

What trainer mod should I use, I can't send images so I sent it in #modders-guild-hall

[sly dagger]

@restive barn its removed, i cant download it.

[proper snow]

can y’all help me optimize the game

should i go to medium

[vapid hull]

Time for me to lament about how much I miss the playtest spear

[bronze elk]

How many times do you guys think it will take me to beat the barron challenge?

Im at 122 right now

[cosmic kelp]

Why cant I use this piece of wood as a battering ram. Literally unplayable.

[bronze elk]

FR I thought this was a physics game

[cosmic kelp]

and they also do no dmg for some reason

[bronze elk]

Yea i tried it before and i was really dissaponted

[vapid hull]

You are the one from zomboid server

[bronze elk]

I am?

Am i known there or something?

[vapid hull]

No but I think I’ve seen you once or twice

[bronze elk]

Also why are there so many zomboid players in this server

[vapid hull]

Because zomboid rocks!!!

[bronze elk]

Sorry i dont recognise you then

[bronze elk]

Fr but like ive never seen this many in a non zomboid server

Ive seen 5 i think

[vapid hull]

Getting your grubby mits on a polearm early helps a lot

[vapid hull]

Yeah!! Rubber used to be a mod here too

[bronze elk]

Whats the spear/spike weapon called again?

Thats the weapon that carried me to get to the boss

which i threw against

[bronze elk]

Oh thats sick

[vapid hull]

Plançon!!!! That ones pretty good

The tech with the baron is to knock him over and force-yield him

[bronze elk]

I guess its not known much because when i looked it up, half sword pictures appeared

[bronze elk]

He wheighs like a truck and has the support of a skyscraper

idk if i could do that

[vapid hull]

Fairskies, there’s a lot of walking into him you gotta do

I think the billhook is goated against him iirc

[bronze elk]

I did only have like 18-20 hours of playtime when i fought him

[warm sinew]

anyone here got an arc b580

[bronze elk]

Coughing baby vs nuclear bomb

[vapid hull]

I need to give the ult challenge more time

[warm sinew]

can you tell me if you also get more fps in epic graphics than the lower graphics settings

especially in buhurt and spoilance

[vapid hull]

Blegh, rough

[bronze elk]

? thats odd

[vapid hull]

I only have about 20 in the demo, but I ended the playtest with 150ish

[warm sinew]

it came out last year might be fuckery with ue5

still cant run cinematic though lol

[bronze elk]

Thats probobly the only answer i could give you lol

[vapid hull]

Aside from buying a new computer, turning off blood could helpsies

[vapid hull]

You’re not supposed to run cinematic

[warm sinew]

reading comprehension in big 25

[bronze elk]

Dont worry I cant either and i have an RX7800XT

[vapid hull]

It’s not intended for gameplay

[bronze elk]

so its only for pictures i assume?

[vapid hull]

Yuhhhh

I only go up to epic for pictures tho, since I can’t tell the difference

[warm sinew]

my game is smoother in epic than high

way smoother buhurt is actually playable

[bronze elk]

In DX11 you can tell the difference

Not really in 12

[ancient loom]

Jack chains feel super weak for the past couple of days idk why

[bronze elk]

I hate i cant see videos that have a high file size

idk why discord wont let me see them

It is forbbiden knowlage i guess

[vapid hull]

Dx11 is goated !!! Some of these are on epic, some are on high, i forgor which

[bronze elk]

Peak photography right htere

Idk why but it looks better than dx12 somehwo

Especally with the glimmer on metal/blood

[vapid hull]

I think both have their merits

[bronze elk]

what are they better for?

each one i mean

[vapid hull]

I find them interchangeable, but dx11 has more shimmer iirc?

But you can get similar effects by changing the aperture

[bronze elk]

I dont know enough about photography i guess

[vapid hull]

Just play with the camera options until it looks good honestly

[small cairn]

i took time out of my day to break both his legs and arms

[bronze elk]

poor willy

[hallow quail]

I am still looking for more clips for my video. If anyone is interested in sharing their best/favorite half sword moment dm me. I of course will credit you in the video!

[sleek gull]

Left: DX11 Right: DX12

[vapid hull]

Holy shit !!! You !!!!!

[sleek gull]

Me!

[bronze elk]

I wish i could watch the video :c

but discord wont let me

[hallow quail]

Wow the quality difference is pretty wild

[sleek gull]

Try on your phone. I find when people can't watch on their PC, it works on their phone for some reason

[bronze elk]

Yea ill have to do that

[vapid hull]

You!! Hii !!!

[bronze elk]

DX11 has good glimmer but dull shadows while DX12 has a little too much (imo) with good shadows

[sleek gull]

Heya! I didn't recognise you at first ; )

[warm sinew]

what kind of clips do you want

[sleek gull]

Ooooo. I have around 1,000 clips. I can send you all kinds of stuff. lol

[hallow quail]

Anything! Crazy clutches, fails, glitches, or anything else you can think of there is no requirement.

[sleek gull]

Make that, 1,100. lol. Just added it up

[hallow quail]

Thank you that would be awesome! Btw whoever sends in clips also attach whatever name you want credited for said clip. I’m going to put each user name at the top right of each clip

[hallow quail]

Holy damn I’m gonna have to make a Google drive or something for that lol

[sleek gull]

LOL

[north hamlet]

i have a question

[sleek gull]

LMAO! That is only the ones that were posted too

[north hamlet]

when u die in the demo mode and it sends u to the abyss what is the point of that

[tender quest]

alot didnt make the cut

[north hamlet]

can u return back or not

or does it just send u to the abyss gamemode

[hallow quail]

I’m gonna hopefully try and have the video out by Thursday so try and get any clips sent in before hand. Anything that isn’t used in the first video will still have a chance at making it into the next video!

[tender quest]

yeah you fight then it sends you back to where you were in gauntlet

[north hamlet]

oh ok

[hallow quail]

It’s a chance for you to win again and not lose all your rank

[north hamlet]

i always just left and started again haha

[north hamlet]

thanks

[mild umbra]

i also have a question, but its kinda weird.
so i'm playing the last level of the demo, but up untill now it's crashed my gpu or something every time (screen goes black, still hear the music playing)
any idea what causes this and what the fix is?

[sleek gull]

Try turning down the blood level.

[mild umbra]

i'm playing on gruesome i think?

and its not like i have a particularly bad gpu or something.

[tender quest]

i think its cpu intensive aswell

[vapid hull]

But we talked so MUCH !!! (Twice or so)

[mild umbra]

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

don't know too much how tech works, but i know this is pretty decent.

[raven solar]

its because of the game

not your pc

[mild umbra]

so its just badly optimised?

[raven solar]

yes something makes the game crash

early access is soon so dont worry

[unreal swallow]

hey guys do you know when they will release a new update?

[sleek gull]

Different name though ; )

[bronze elk]

may 21st 2030

[mild umbra]

okay, thanks for the answer!

[unreal swallow]

lol

[bronze elk]

lol

[unreal swallow]

but fr like at the end of this year maybe?

[raven solar]

early access is the update

yeah end of the year

[unreal swallow]

nice

what you have to buy?

cause i will instantly buy

[bronze elk]

do we know what they will add?

[unreal swallow]

maps probably and new weapons

[bronze elk]

W

[raven solar]

from what i understand its gonnna be kinda of a gladiator thing

[harsh imp]

character customization, weapon customization, splitscreen, and new weapons probably

[raven solar]

i think theres going to be vendors and stuff

[unreal swallow]

do you think there will be a campaign??

cause the ai is really good

[raven solar]

what kind of campaign

[unreal swallow]

like a solo campaign where you just go through levels

[topaz prawn]

Is it just me or is the commoner final boss by far the hardest boss

Its like it doesnt even move and my leg just falls off

[brisk geyser]

you just need to bait it into a swing

its very easy to one shot it

[topaz prawn]

Well hes definitely a glass cannon then

[stone lintel]

That would be sick

[scenic quail]

Real fencing

[vapid hull]

They keep fucking my shit up </3

[harsh imp]

thanks to fencer for the name, what yall thinkin of this album cover

[mental kelp]

tuff

[harsh imp]

Thank you john longeswarde

[sleek gull]

Oh Hey! Its you!

[velvet moss]

I dont wanna jinx it but the commoner boss is getting easier

[turbid quail]

ikr now that i know i just dodge once and hit it its so easy

[ashen barn]

No no no

Shut up

[velvet moss]

buh

[vapid hull]

It’s is !!!

[vapid hull]

Shtab’m

[desert acorn]

environmental storytelling

yes I hit him with the rivet perfectly

[formal ibex]

are we allowed to play half sword with mods?

[ancient loom]

No, you will get executed if you try

[desert acorn]

it's a singleplayer game, why the hell not

not like you are messing with other players and ruining the game for them

[formal ibex]

ive seen this guy using this thing that lets you run super fast and like mind control other willies

[vapid hull]

You’ll be banned from playing online

[formal ibex]

and i wanted to try it out but it looked like hacks

[desert acorn]

lmao

[formal ibex]

theres an online version?

im still on the demo

[mental kelp]

Why no exclamation

[desert acorn]

no there isnt, that was the joke

[formal ibex]

oh

do you guys know how to download the mod that shows a bunch of abilities

[desert acorn]

game is singleplayer only, might include local multiplayer at some point, but online is currently not being considered

[vapid hull]

!!!!!!

Its true !!!

[mental kelp]

Folley! Rali!

[vapid hull]

John !!! Longeswarde !!!!!!

[formal ibex]

do you know how to download it?

[desert acorn]

havent played with mods so I cant tell

[formal ibex]

whats your playtime

i got 27 hours

[desert acorn]

97 on the demo

probs had 50 on the playtest when they were separate too

[formal ibex]

how close is the actual game

[desert acorn]

that was a nice rising cut

[formal ibex]

i love the cutting on this game

[desert acorn]

We have no idea, early access this year, no other info

basically when it's ready

[formal ibex]

is it free?

[desert acorn]

no

the demo is free

the game will be paid

[formal ibex]

how much is early access

[desert acorn]

devs need to eat too

[formal ibex]

true

also sorry for asking so many questions

[desert acorn]

price hasnt been confirmed yet

[formal ibex]

id estimate like 30 bucks

[ancient loom]

It is going to be around 25$ that is what devs said

[desert acorn]

yeah thats what I was thinking but yeah no exact amount rn

[boreal path]

when?

[desert acorn]

and yeah had no written proof

so if I dont have the sources to back up id rather avoid the risk of misinformation

I remember there was a poll at some point iirc

[ancient loom]

I heard someone say that devs confirmed it. Idk if its true but the number seems reasonable enough. There was a poll asking people how much they are going to pay for it and 25$ also won from what i remember.

[boreal path]

if you heard someone say that someone else said it do not say it with authority

[ancient loom]

I didn't mean for it to sound like that i suck at communicating stuff

[nova mural]

guys im feining for half sword

started using mods and made it better but i want to hack and slash my friends

[desert acorn]

yeah issue is just that the person you heard it from probably had the same exact process

and so it may have come from random speculation several other repeats up the line

[nova mural]

https://x.com/Halfsword_game/status/1882074444824498314

this is making me so hyped

[livid shard]

Yo who here is any good at grappling in halfsword im learning some stuff and need some tips

[little verge]

#1244313050174197850

[livid shard]

Oh thanks man

[harsh imp]

509 hours, is that bad 😬

[formal ibex]

the game is fun

cant blame you one bit

[harsh imp]

Im considered one of the goats of grappling, what do you need tips on (heres some proof if u dont believe me:

[formal ibex]

ive been waiting for the official game for a minute now

[livid shard]

So im in a clinch rn and im tryna throw him to the ground

[valid geyser]

i have a question will there be multiplayer in future ?

[harsh imp]

okay so are you tryna transition to like a single leg takedown from the clinch or just trying to trip him from the clinch

clinch takedowns are tricky

[mortal oriole]

It was at gamescon so almost definitely

At least for full game

[livid shard]

MHm so im full armor for some reason but I tried to go low and his polearm blocks I cant disarm eiher

[harsh imp]

i dont do armed grappling, but my advice is get a bit of distance in the clinch, and get a single leg, and then kick his other leg out from underneath him

or run the pipe

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/kXl4k1UMAKk8bM3_J?invite=cr-MSx1VVQsMjQ0Njc5MTYw&v=12

[queen glacier]

anyone knows how to throw npcs?

[harsh imp]

yes, its all about grips and mouse movement

[queen glacier]

i know it man

i dont know how though

[harsh imp]

Ill get some of my clips that you can study

[queen glacier]

thanks
