stanced up like a crab idling

just like turtling in old for honor

🥲

[soft osprey]

Leave outside drama, outside, please 😤

[restive barn]

bumer

how would that work

the thing is when i move my mouse to parry sometimes i move it too far and reach zornhut

[quartz totem]

try moving swiftly

faster you move the less static your wrists are

faster flicks= more fluid motions(as willie tries to keep up)

[shell bronze]

samurai duel ass arm removal

[restive barn]

i do move swiftly but te thing is i move TOO swiftly

[quartz totem]

strange

[mental kelp]

Don’t

[restive barn]

dont hwat

[quartz totem]

flicks might be the wrong word, but the speed does affect it greatly

[mental kelp]

When I parry I look at what’s coming and I move it softly

If I twitch I will not parry

When he meets he binds, and I push in

[naive holly]

Good morning chrome

[shell bronze]

twitching works for parrying if you're precise enough

[restive barn]

hi reclaim

[soft osprey]

It’s 11:32 pm

[restive barn]

falchions dont have autoparry

[naive holly]

Not for chrome its not

[restive barn]

i live in singapor

[soft osprey]

? My time zone is the only one, so..

[naive holly]

Est snob

[restive barn]

2 modders actually live in singapore

bitter relative and i

[signal wedge]

you live in singapore??

[restive barn]

we're both weapon modders who live in singapor

[naive holly]

I knew bitter on reddit before he even though about doing vicious pack

[restive barn]

yes

[naive holly]

Sp I knew that

[signal wedge]

how it is there

[naive holly]

Weirdly enough

[signal wedge]

singapore looks really nice

[soft osprey]

Like Singapore

[signal wedge]

you're sooooo funny easter

[restive barn]

BLAZING hot

[soft osprey]

I literally try my best, thank you

[signal wedge]

i can relate

i live in a desert

and it's horrible

[quartz totem]

@restive barn I've posted these before but these are some examples of "parrying" at different speeds

if its useful

[signal wedge]

easter lives in "AYE I'M WALKIN ERE" land

[soft osprey]

I feel so bad for anyone not living on the east coast

[signal wedge]

i want to visit the east coast so badly

i thought that was going somewhere else

[soft osprey]

I was not sure where you were going with this

[shell bronze]

east coast real OG coast

[quartz totem]

🤨

[signal wedge]

west coast best coast (i'm biased)

[quartz totem]

good food there

[soft osprey]

East coast best coast(im not biased, just factual)

[faint crater]

I want to visit the west coast so bad

do a drive along the coast

i do photography so it'd be sm fun for me

very clean cut through the hat

[shell bronze]

only his hat

[strange token]

nah bro you should regen health on the final challenge every wave. getting a horseshit injury that basically spells the end of the run because you cant move is so cheesy

[mental kelp]

Only cause Willie is dumb

[shell bronze]

i wouldn't be parrying shi if willie was smart

😂

every match gonna look like kendo

chudan/seigan kamae and spam shomen uchi/men strikes

got him prayin to jesus

[faint crater]

yall talking about stances and moved and shit sounds like gibberish to me

quite literally a different language sometimes

[dusty spear]

ikr

its tooo high level </3

[shell bronze]

it is literally a different language i do kenjutsu/kendo

[dusty spear]

😨

[faint crater]

thats pretty neat

[dusty spear]

i just try stabbing them or smth

idk

[faint crater]

I almost went to a mass meeting for the kendo club at my uni

decided it'll probably be expensive and a broke art student cant afford that

[faint crater]

real

[shell bronze]

shinais are cheap

[faint crater]

is that the armor

[shell bronze]

bogu/armor is what is relatively expensive but you buy that once and it's done

very hard to mess up

[faint crater]

so the shinai is the pole sword

[shell bronze]

shinai is the sword yes

[faint crater]

ahhh okay

do those break sometimes

cause they are bamboo right?

[shell bronze]

bamboo ones last like 1-2 years with constant use

there's carbon fiber ones too but those need a bit of maintenance

[languid nest]

[lapis marsh]

[shell bronze]

i rub it all over the willie and that's all i need to do

[lapis marsh]

mods pin this

[shell bronze]

whatever man don't say i didn't offer you my schlongpoint

[lapis marsh]

my point is clearly schlonger

[shell bronze]

proof

[narrow thicket]

do we think the game is coming out in october, november or december?

[pure crow]

when will we get to actually use daggers and knives to stab and not swing

[brittle raven]

when you press alt

[pure crow]

like

does alt give you some kinda back stab type of hand

nope

alt should just do a backwards grip for knives and such tbh

or even the middle mouse button

[pure crow]

ngl i think there should be some map with some kinda pit surrounding it

[young saffron]

Suplexing willie off a cliff would be great

[pure crow]

true

would also be funny if willies could be used to break falls

[stone flare]

are there new character models?

[young saffron]

Nope. And I’m hoping willie stays

He’s my goat after all

[stone flare]

I just saw the gamescom video and I saw that "Willie" had a beard

[stone flare]

ah

[tough yew]

there will be new faces

[young saffron]

You can’t betray willie like this😭

[pure crow]

its been 6 months since the last update

we need more features

[tough yew]

willie will be an option

[pure crow]

and more maps

[tough yew]

its a demo

[young saffron]

Yay (:

[stone flare]

I just need 1 sneak peek of a character model

[young saffron]

They’re working on full sword

[stone flare]

that was a nice block

[pure crow]

tragic events of half sword: willies have no penith

[young saffron]

Real

[stone flare]

when half sword releases, will they make it free or do I have to pay?

[shell bronze]

pay

feinting gone wrong

[stone flare]

DAMN IT

I'm broke 🙁

[young saffron]

I’d pay so much money for this game when it comes out tbh

[shell bronze]

i'm going up to 100

[young saffron]

I’ll probably go up to 70

[pure crow]

if half sword is to be a paid game it has to have a campaign then

[stone flare]

I doubt it

[young saffron]

I’d pay that much just to see willies handsome, beautiful, magnificent face in 4k

[stone flare]

geez

[pure crow]

game better have performance to hell

[stone flare]

performance WILL be hell for the devs

[shell bronze]

turned him into amogus

[pure crow]

UE5 is such a power hungry engine

[young saffron]

mogus

[final escarp]

yeah dude if the full game releases and im getting the same fps as i do now im not paying any more than like 20 bucks for it

[restive barn]

[dreamy phoenix]

they will probably expand the gauntlet and add some other gamemodes
which gamemodes? No idea, pff

[stone flare]

[shell bronze]

if they fix the crashing i would be glad to leave our lesser-spec'd friends behind

[pure crow]

man

a sorta uhhh

[stone flare]

maybe this one

[pure crow]

enviromental weapon-issh map

like uh

a pit in the middle

and 4 towers in the corners

each with stairs

[dreamy phoenix]

this is probably going to be another fight variation against Spoilance, Carnage and such

[stone flare]

a

[shell bronze]

literally just a 1v1 but on a bridge and you immediately die when you fall

[dreamy phoenix]

*among
pff

[stone flare]

that's exactly what I want

just seeing a Willie get impaled by the arsehole

[young saffron]

I’m going to suplex willie off the bridge

[dreamy phoenix]

should be pretty fun tbh
anything that challenges your understanding of core mechanics sounds pretty fitting for Half-Sword

[brittle raven]

Devs had to remove it

[golden ether]

nah just kick him off, this is halfsword

https://tenor.com/view/fuck-off-mngani-spartan-gif-23659873

[dreamy phoenix]

I'll play devil's advocate and say that first two gauntlet bosses teach you some main mechanics pretty well, lmao

[golden ether]

i hate this world and everything it stands for

[stone flare]

off topic question: why is willie's lip half glued?

[dreamy phoenix]

the axe guy was especially cool when the map had only one knife, pff

[young saffron]

https://tenor.com/view/embed-fail-gif-2025377030646279456

[shell bronze]

3 more so

he's a great skill check that everyone loves to bitch about

[golden ether]

granted all the bosses teach you the same thing, a very important core mechanic

dont get hit

[dreamy phoenix]

the commoner boss is a fuckin menace

and I never really managed to parry or counter him, khkh

[restive barn]

what weapon should i mod into half sword

[young saffron]

Me collecting all off the boss willies eyebrows like the infinity stones:

[young saffron]

Infinity gauntlet

[golden ether]

you gonna tape them to a gauntlet and snap your fingers to traumatise half the willies in existence?

[dreamy phoenix]

gunblade idk

[rare hearth]

old man's cane

[shell bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/muhhamad-ali-gif-5188140

[young saffron]

yes

[shell bronze]

he can be parried

[golden ether]

honestly i never needed too

when he goes for the overhead just get in there and give him the mike tython special

if you time it right you can trap the axe with the side of the blade against his leg and just punch him till he stops moving

[restive barn]

no

[dreamy phoenix]

just discovered that you can somewhat successfully duck and sway in Fist Play btw, pff

[young saffron]

Steel chair

[golden ether]

GIVE EM THE CHAIR BROTHER!

[young saffron]

“Willie with the steel chair!”

[restive barn]

NO

[golden ether]

alright heres an idea

[young saffron]

If you do it I’ll give you willies codpiece

[shell bronze]

commoner boss ain't shyt

[golden ether]

the floppy baseball bat from saints row

you know the one

[obsidian osprey]

i love playing half sword but dis 1 fucking boss is making me vant to stop playing all togheter (the comener boss)

[dreamy phoenix]

I think the best thing EA HS can come up with is fully customisable fights like in the first demo, pff

[golden ether]

EA has halfsword now!?

your taking the piss

[dreamy phoenix]

knives are truly menacing

[dreamy phoenix]

early access

not electronic arts lol

[golden ether]

had me worried there for a second

[dreamy phoenix]

I mean, EA does have a bunch of decent games, especially under the EA Originals banner

Wild Hearts still holds up but they barely update the damn thing

[restive barn]

cory

[golden ether]

okay real talk the baron's kinda ass for a playable character

[shell bronze]

filthy grabber

[shell bronze]

they gave him slow and clunky weapons

[restive barn]

No.

[shell bronze]

i'll show you what baron can do with regular-sized weaponry

[golden ether]

i mean, i like the baron's other weapons its just the main one i dislike

the poleaxe is simply pole-ass

[pure crow]

tbh the billhooks are pretty decent if you want to get someone down

[drowsy cypress]

hi

[pure crow]

i tried to do the same with other poles

[drowsy cypress]

why did they remove gore

[restive barn]

the only thing bad about the barons weapons is that the buttspike extends too far down

[golden ether]

the baron doesnt get the billhook

[pure crow]

didn't talk about the baron

[golden ether]

check your settings, game then gore

[shell bronze]

baron with a regular-sized greatsword (commoner boss) is EVIL

[golden ether]

thats what i was talking about

[shell bronze]

and you soon realize why the commoner boss is such a fucked up difficulty spike

greatsword has the highest tier of sharpness + bludgeon + reach

[pure crow]

tbh i think knives should automatically have a reverse grip ingame

[drowsy cypress]

i mean intestines and skull crush

[shell bronze]

• the strength of the boss model makes it feel like a longsword

[pure crow]

not ingame

thats the old version on itch

if theres even skull crushing in that ver

intestines are there tho

[drowsy cypress]

oh ok

[golden ether]

there was in the old version on steam

[pure crow]

only thing is there is no way to get to that ver

[drowsy cypress]

hey removed it i think

[pure crow]

its a yes

[golden ether]

that was not very cash money of them

[pure crow]

only appears in the itch ver menu

but tbh

reverse grip should actually be a thing ingame

[golden ether]

i think thats more of a modern technique

and a shit one 9 times out of 10

[pure crow]

we'll find out when it gets added

if it gets added that is

[golden ether]

yeah thats a big iff

plus i dont think itd have any real application

and even if it did, i think theres other ways to do it better

[pure crow]

basically just

a sort of one handed half sword technique ingame

thats how it would be tbh

[golden ether]

i still think its not a good idea personally

[pure crow]

would be pretty nice still

if it was an option

instead of the thrust for alt

thrust is pretty janky tbh

[golden ether]

but you can thrust with the majority of weapons

[pure crow]

never really hitting a good stab tho

[golden ether]

yeah sometimes you dont need to hit a good stab

billhook for example

[pure crow]

yea but thats a spear

and its not a one handed item ingame

[golden ether]

hook it on the shoulder, pull it back, and congratualtions willie gives you a hand for that spectacular manuever

knives

you can stab with a knife

fairly effectively too

[pure crow]

yea but half the time thrusting just dosen't work cause its slow

even if it was a half sword it wouldn't land half of the sword hits

[golden ether]

right so that time i got 2 out of 3

and im counting good stabs when i get the knife to stick

[pure crow]

tbh thrust should just be a diff mode that is actually just toggleable

and have reverse grip for the middle mouse button

or smth

idk

[golden ether]

2/3 again

and granted im not getting the third because im either knocking a knife out of bounds or one of the willies is killing another

and for context this is peasent carnage, and im using the 3 kitchen knife types

[dreamy phoenix]

a bit of an awkward exchange but I made it work

[golden ether]

another 2/3

and all three are taking into account the fact other willies are going to fight

[pure crow]

candle stick kinda has a reverse grip

cause you can actually backstab with it

[restive barn]

rev grip works with polearms

[pure crow]

how

[golden ether]

that time i got a 3/3

okay so yeah, stabbing isnt useless

[dreamy phoenix]

stabbing is GOOD

[golden ether]

some guy was saying thrusting wasnt useful with the knives

[dreamy phoenix]

stabbing during beggar and peasant phases is a godsend

slashing is much less useful considering the range

[golden ether]

12 willies had to die to prove that point

i hope your happy

[pure crow]

stabbing needs an optional toggleable reverse grip.

half swording is just

a glorified spear

[golden ether]

dude fr halfswording is fine as it is

[dreamy phoenix]

half-swording with usual swords?

[pure crow]

the fact

[dreamy phoenix]

oh it's not only a spear lol

[pure crow]

that you can just execute the willies with a half sword

is just fun

[dreamy phoenix]

it's also a fuckin grappling tool

and a good thing for precise close range slashes

[golden ether]

its also a club too

[dreamy phoenix]

yeah

[golden ether]

hit em with the pommel, poor willy has a concussion now

[dreamy phoenix]

there's a transitionary state between normal grip and half-swording where you arm tries to go towards your blade

you can make it so that arm also hits the opponent

[pure crow]

tbh

[dreamy phoenix]

and it usually results in a knockout

[pure crow]

there should be a sorta half sword hold for the one handed weapons

just for the funs of it

[golden ether]

it would be worse

just be happy with what you got

[dreamy phoenix]

you can hold one-handed swords like that

[golden ether]

he wants reverse grip

[pure crow]

wasn't talking about rev grip now

like

half sword grip

but for a one hand weapon

[golden ether]

dude

[pure crow]

less going up or down

[golden ether]

half sword with one hand is reverse grip

[pure crow]

huh

the more i know

[golden ether]

and as i stated earlier

reverse grip is shit

[fallow monolith]

https://medal.tv/de/games/half-sword/clips/kX0Q0llUsIDe_Wpum?invite=cr-MSw4SlcsNDI1OTU1OTI3&v=10

[pure crow]

you never know until you try it

[golden ether]

there is no reason to try it

[fallow monolith]

clearly got no clue

[golden ether]

youd have less range, less mobility, plus with half sword physics youd liked stab yourself

[pure crow]

fun moment

also

[fallow monolith]

reverse grip is very usable with a rondel dagger, while fighting an armored opponent

[pure crow]

jsut

just hold a willie

or something

[pure crow]

wth is a rondel dagger

[fallow monolith]

google it

its what some knights carry

[pure crow]

cool

still

would be pretty useful if you swing inwards

side to side

[dreamy phoenix]

wasn't intended but I cut him up like butter

[pure crow]

literally inward hit

[dreamy phoenix]

yeeee

that move in the end was intentional, but I didn't intend to get there initially, pff

I just saw the opportunity and did it

[pure crow]

literally an example of what reverse grip could do

yea uh

turns out i can actually feel what happens ingame

i can feel it

[pure crow]

worst part of immersive is feeling where you get hit irl

[sharp hearth]

pvp build whennnnnn?

(Seeing the announcement)

[lime steppe]

How do you body slam

And is nexus mods good for half sword modding if it’s ok to mod in the game

[terse canyon]

man, i had a funny halfsword meme to share

[young saffron]

I'm such a good guy for giving willie free haircuts

[waxen magnet]

i just discovered that theres mods for this

[sharp sky]

guh

[topaz crest]

i want to revisit the massive deathroll again in the playtest but i deleted it after the demo update came out

how could i possibly download the latest updated playtest

[sharp sky]

probably findable on the internet

[sharp sky]

they deleted the playtest

there is no way

[topaz crest]

yeah they deleted it

[waxen magnet]

aw man whys the enhancer mod off

i want willie to have a burning passion to fight and never give up

[topaz crest]

auto update got them into flames and now they have to take refuge in github for now

may come later

come back

to nexus

[waxen magnet]

ow is it still availaible on github?

[topaz crest]

yeah it is

[waxen magnet]

can you share the repo

[topaz crest]

[waxen magnet]

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously beating it. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image.

is that a candlestick

[fiery iris]

is there a way of removing ur hat?

[cyan cloud]

That’s the most lethal weapon in the game right there

[soft osprey]

Shut

[fervent geyser]

Wish I was recording, but I one tapped a guy by slitting his throat and when he fell back and dropped his dagger is slid across the back of his neck and cutted it open.

Poor guy.

[slender hull]

why do I have low fps in spoilance even though neither cpu nor gpu is maxed out?

you said what about my beautiful bald willie!?

[soft osprey]

Rage bait used to be believable

[wind charm]

https://tenor.com/view/halfsword-gooba-critter-gif-1976390881313823333

look at this fucking thing, this is good. NOT bad!

[soft osprey]

This is BAD

I hate him!

Hes so stupid he doesn’t even have a body. Skill issue frfr

[tropic aspen]

how many kicks in the nuts does it take to kill somone in halfsowrd in full armor

he just wont die

[cinder stone]

nutshots aren't programmed (yet?) in the game :c

[pearl ferry]

willie is a fungus and therefore has no nuts

[tropic aspen]

oh that sucks

he broke my arms not like i can do something else

[static skiff]

how much would you pay for half sword vr

[tropic aspen]

it takes aproximmetly 500 kucks in the nuts to make him go down

kicks

i meant

[cinder stone]

kick! never give up until you lose your legs

[pearl ferry]

yeah you can get a good kick in and break their leg and then u win

or if u kick them like 50 billion times in the same spot it'll break

[cinder stone]

like, you can still win a fight with a lost arm or two so long as your willie doesn't bleed out (and sometimes the bleeding stops before death anyway) by kicking wildly

[tropic aspen]

or if you keep kicking he will just bleed out eventualy

[tropic aspen]

what if its two arms and a leg

[cinder stone]

RIP

[tropic aspen]

i mean i somehow did it with heavy leg and arms damage

[cinder stone]

o

cool!

[tropic aspen]

idk they aparently heal over time

[cinder stone]

by lost I mean completely cut off though

[tropic aspen]

yea

[static skiff]

half sword vr when 🐟

[tropic aspen]

then you just bleed out

and die

[plucky arrow]

Was literally just about to say this, praying we get VR

[pearl ferry]

just plasy blade and sorcery

[cinder stone]

no, sometimes the bleeding stops before you die, and then you just writhe around in pain while still on your feet and you can't use even your remaining arm but for some reason the legs still work

[pearl ferry]

That's nice honey

[static skiff]

blade and sorcery is awful compared to half sword

[tropic aspen]

hes fine

[young saffron]

I did this to willies evil brother, wilhelm

[static skiff]

actually its just awful

[soft osprey]

Your opinion is wrong dr Gregory house

[static skiff]

it is cradled by mods

if it wasnt for mods blade and sorcery would be rightfully called bad

[soft osprey]

Halfsword is just so fantastic it makes every other game look like trash

[soft osprey]

Sorry bud I already decided Youre wrong, and im right. Nothing you can do now but accept that

[static skiff]

this is also true

[tropic aspen]

in its category defenetly

[cinder stone]

half-sword's combat just hits different

[soft osprey]

So did my dad

[static skiff]

is there anything like half swords combat

[tropic aspen]

what other game offers such a realistic nut kicking experiencie

[soft osprey]

The only thing remotely close would be exanima

Since it’s one of the inspirations for halfsword

[cinder stone]

ooooh, really?

[static skiff]

id pay 60 dollars for half sword vr

maybe more

[soft osprey]

There’s been some luck with injecting halfsword into vr but, it’s very janky and doesn’t work great. And it’s still a WIP and not published

[static skiff]

i saw that, its more like just using your vr like a monitor

than actually playing it in vr

[cinder stone]

plus there's the problem of how to handle things that are supposed to be heavy suddenly being weightless because VR

like weapons

[static skiff]

yeah putting half sword in vr would make it a lot easier i think

would remove a lot of the skill involved in learing half swords combat system

[tropic aspen]

will testicular torsion come to Half Sowrd?

[static skiff]

yes

[static skiff]

thats v 5.5445

[tropic aspen]

great

i shall resume removing pepoles nuts now

[near bough]

embaid failed

[tropic aspen]

hahahahahaha

fool

[static skiff]

thats gotta hurt

[soft osprey]

Yes that’s where this came from

[static skiff]

i love billhook

ok that was probably my best polearm play ever

[young saffron]

Willie proving size doesn't matter (while also murdering a disgusting homunculus who uses a plancon)

[atomic stump]

This was great

[jolly gorge]

how to restard the game

reset

[atomic stump]

like the gauntlet?

[jolly gorge]

yes

[atomic stump]

you have to die in guantlet and abyss

[jolly gorge]

im baro

baron

though

[atomic stump]

oh then idk

[soft osprey]

Follow

[rocky stone]

how do you get here im stuck in the abyss

[soft osprey]

Gauntlet

Dont press abyss

Just press play demo

[dawn pelican]

Will half sword be on ps5

[rocky stone]

thanks

[soft osprey]

#faq

[nocturne quest]

how do i play with my friend

[oak scarab]

need help. How to reset half sword setting without turning the game on?

[atomic stump]

wasnt playing gauntlet

[soft osprey]

Thats still the gauntlet arena though lol

[lone python]

does anyone have a challenge for me in halfsword

i am bored

[humble bloom]

No pressing S challenge

[lone python]

hmhm

k

until when ?

[cinder stone]

train with weapons you suck at

[humble bloom]

Until you die idk

[lone python]

i am trained with all weapons

[cinder stone]

also iunno how many people know this but when you're fighting, doing a single click with either buttons readies your weapons/shields and that makes swinging around more precise and helps defend yourself from blows

if you swap stances or hands you gotta do the single click again

it makes knives and stuff easier to swing around too

[lone python]

too easy

[cinder stone]

then train more, go on butthurts and last stands, hulk out on three willies at once in a carnage!

you'll be unstoppable when/if online multiplayer ever becomes a thing

[shell bronze]

do not do this with longswords

[lone python]

IF 😭

[humble bloom]

Do you win most battles through hitting the deep targets like the torso and neck?
Or the outer limbs and top of the bead?

[lone python]

torso and neck

[cinder stone]

how about overhead strikes?

[humble bloom]

Mercy challenge.
Keep willie alive.
Its technically safer to attack the hands. But maybe the lack of practice can be a challenge.

[shell bronze]

fight man at arms with any longsword (brave stand included/heartily suggested)

incl high tier ones

as a commoner

it's not even a challenge to be a challenge that's how i fight when i feel like bullying militia/commoner gets too easy

i trust you won't have a problem with it ❤️

no damage is optional but it's a good metric to work towards if you find beating the fights alone to be too easy

[lone python]

maybe

[lone python]

ok

[shell bronze]

it's a great idea! trust me

[lone python]

ok

[lone python]

you mean in free mode or just like that

[lone python]

and do you mean that i am a man at amrs and do i have to beat the boss

[shell bronze]

free mode

use loadout selector mod

[ancient loom]

Candlestick gaming

[harsh wharf]

yo what sens u use bru i be tryna do shit like this n jus noodle around

[shell bronze]

medium-low sens

enough for precision but not enough to compromise swinging

[harsh wharf]

yea thats what i was thinking like if i turn my shi too low im not gonna be able to look around quickly or nun but ima try, nice clips tho bro

[shell bronze]

yessir
you got this

[lone python]

which one is man at arms

[humble bloom]

The tier list goes from bottom to top.
Beggar
Peasant
Commoner
Militia
Soldier
Veteran
Man at arms
Knight
Baron

So icon number 7, or the third one down if you start at the top.

[dull iron]

i don't think he is ok

i've created an immortal willie

he received 5 cuts now in the head

see? i've beaten him up with x4 strenght and max damage

[frail crag]

can you get past the abyss? sorry im new here

[dull iron]

yes

if you die you go there and if you survive enough to kill all the bosses that you've killed you will "revive" and keep fighting at the same rank you were

[frail crag]

bosses?

[analog zenith]

yes

[frail crag]

i've been fighting guys with candlesticks and a paddle

[analog zenith]

there are multiple

once you get onto a new rank and complete all the fights you get to a boss

[frail crag]

so i just press the red button named abyss and fight for what, hours?

[tiny forge]

will yall add multiplayer?

[dull iron]

some day

[tiny forge]

ok

[dreamy phoenix]

oh shit, you just started playing it
I think it's beatable by going through the ranks but it's pretty long

people thought you were talking about the abyss you go to after you die in gauntlet

[frail crag]

nahhh im talking about that red button i press one

How u get gauntlet tho

[dreamy phoenix]

it's on the right side of the menu

the mode where you start as a beggar and go up

[analog zenith]

yes

[dull iron]

you go here

[analog zenith]

yes

and click play on the top level you have unlocked

[dreamy phoenix]

you can also access the abyss by clicking on your character repeatedly lmao

[dull iron]

i think i've finally got 400hours because i had 320hours in the playtest and 80 hours in the demo

[soft yoke]

tried rapid combat shield and boarding axe, was actually a really long and fun fight lol

[soft yoke]

average demoknight main:

[shell bronze]

the shield charge

[frail crag]

i think u should add perm slomo in gauntlet ngl

[oak scarab]

the devs are able to reset the progress on my acc in half sword am i right?

[soft osprey]

lol no you have to

[oak scarab]

i mean i got the other problem i don't know it's due to that i lost to the Baron or it s smth with my setings in-game

[soft osprey]

Idk what you mean

[frail crag]

like a toggle on and off like arrow time

[oak scarab]

i would send a screen but im not able to send it

but it's says "im out of video memory" even if i played 2 days ago witout this info

[tender quest]

what graphics card you got?

[oak scarab]

AMD Radeon Vege 8 Graphic

but it worked before this "crash"

[tender quest]

yeah because video memory is used gradually and cleared out as you are playing, if you dont have enough for it to work with you'll get the out of video memory crash

[rigid stirrup]

repost

[shell bronze]

always

keep the content cycling when i'm not at the computer to produce new clips

[oak scarab]

that why yesterday it "celared" it self lol

thanks for info

[tender quest]

why would you put quotations on a word and then misspell it as if i did?

[oak scarab]

cleared* my bad mate

[oak scarab]

btw before the crash i played on directx 11 instead of 13 i think that may be the main problem

[viral relic]

Does anyone have any advice for throwing accurately? Is it even possible? I'm trying to learn so that I can consistently hit dagger throws but most of the time it either doesn't go far, or I throw it far and it misses

[trim void]

yo im playing rn i forgot how do i dodge?

like the move

[surreal egret]

Question.

On the official release will there be a sandbox mode? I wanna do like a boxing carnage with like 6 people with the gauntlets and no other armor and idk how to mod in a trainer(nor do I trust the modders rn)

[young saffron]

hold down shift and press S on the keyboard

[trim void]

oh thx

im doing gauntlet and ifeel like i could use it

[azure mirage]

why don't you trust the modders 💔

[surreal egret]

Just don’t

[azure mirage]

huhhh

[soft osprey]

Better safe than sorry

[proper heart]

The hell have you done 🙏

[naive granite]

💀 😭

i dont think there is anything worse than this

i dont think anyone can pull off worse than this

🙏

[proper heart]

How the fuck does one even achieve this

[azure mirage]

a bit of free time

[naive granite]

i think he is alive tho

[naive granite]

saw the opportunity and started slashing

he is still alive

[young saffron]

it's because willies built different

[mental kelp]

Ghost stole my data and now he knows my half sword hours and all the other important things on my computer (nothing) 😭 😭

[naive granite]

https://tenor.com/view/half-sword-gif-164259582336575534

[young saffron]

the ghost of tshumia stole your data!? (Video may or may not be unrelated)

[trim void]

im at the baron and i keep crashing bruh

[young saffron]

turn off blood

[naive granite]

turn off blood

[trim void]

oh yeah thx

[lime steppe]

how can i get access to the halfsword tech demo

[young saffron]

halfsword steam page

[lime steppe]

what do i click in there

[young saffron]

the button for the demo (it's in a green box)

[lime steppe]

i clicked it nothing happended do i have to wait?

[soft osprey]

Download

[young saffron]

it has to download

[soft osprey]

Like any other game on steam

[lime steppe]

its not working for me and my friend

[soft osprey]

Steam support

[lime steppe]

ok

[young saffron]

willie vs wilhelm

[gaunt helm]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/l39UkHkrboMJT-16A?invite=cr-MSx4ak4sMjY3OTk3MzYw what yall think

[oak scarab]

Yall Aura farming or Tryharding?

[young saffron]

williefarming

[oak scarab]

Absolute Cinema

[ember silo]

yall am i tweaking or is willie's left hook stronger than his right

when i fight hand to hand, if i use the left hook it sends them STRAIGHT down

with like a liter of blood coming out

[mental kelp]

Seems to be when you hook around to the back of his head it always does that

Lots of blood and bruises

[bleak helm]

Someone can help? I reinstalled the game to try beating the Abyss, but now my game keeps crashing after I die, no matter the game mode

Error message states that "Out of memory allocated to the video card"

Never had this issue

[ember silo]

thats a GPU issue

probably a memory leak

or ur gpu is not strong enough

you dont have enough Vram

[bleak helm]

Certainly not the case since the game worked just fine in the past months that I have been playing, this issue cropped up out of nowhere

[ember silo]

hm i dont know then, because that message means you ran out of Vram

at least i think so

like 90% sure

[bleak helm]

Now it happened even without game fully launching

Verifying game files did nothing

[frail valve]

can i somehow play the Abyss without fog and without black surronding?

[sharp sky]

https://tenor.com/view/low-tier-god-ltg-steam-steamapps-common-gif-11944407198237607526

[soft osprey]

You’re probably running on dx12

[sharp sky]

nope

[final fjord]

I had this too and i just delete the folder half sword in local app data and after this it worked

[soft osprey]

Switch to dx11 through the game settings

[frail valve]

can u explain more? 🥹

[sharp sky]

there is no explanation

you cant

its part of the game

[frail valve]

oh... 🙁

[sharp sky]

if you know how to make mods probably

[round stone]

Help ! My opponent is doing Jiu-Jitsu

[frail valve]

i dont... 🙂

[bleak helm]

Posible, switched trying to make Ultimate Challange work

[young saffron]

parry dagger

[naive holly]

Create a .ini file and set fog to zero

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3376864446

Works now 👍

[frail valve]

[languid kettle]

i passed the game before 4 hours

[sharp sky]

what isf the sword was NEVER halfed

and it was always swor

d

[young saffron]

full sword of normal sword

that is the question

[sharp sky]

i just randomly broke my leg in hs for some reason

[languid kettle]

My pc is good for run this game? Ryzen 5 4500, Radeon rx 570, 16gb ram,ssd m.2 500GB.

[sharp sky]

it just snapped

[soft osprey]

Should be but keep in mind the game is not optimized

So even high end rigs can struggle a bit

[topaz acorn]

what happened with playtest

[sharp sky]

they deleted it

[soft osprey]

I eated it

[sharp sky]

yes

this man is true

[topaz acorn]

😔

[sharp sky]

he ate it all

[young saffron]

the playtest died in the crash 7 years ago, it's time to move on

[soft osprey]

Also it merged with the demo

[languid kettle]

I realized when I saw that on high 1920x1080 it works for me at 20-40 fps and with luck it stays at 60

[sharp sky]

"ZOUNDS" 🔥 🔥

graphics all the way down. ?

i got it to run on a 1 dollar laptop by turning the graphics down

[sharp sky]

waking up to full sword

[soft osprey]

Turn down graphics, run on dx11, turn off blood. You will have to turn off blood either way when you start crashing, there is an issue with it currently

[languid kettle]
