[compact pond]

And you know

The Damage thingie drag

Is for that they have less strength, like firepower to their attacks

Like no muscles

Doesn't mean a blade still cant cut you in half

If you were a skeleton no muscle

[tawny kayak]

but can I cheat my way to unlock the baron with that

[compact pond]

Xd

[tawny kayak]

with gore off and player damage off

Idk I usually just play with default damage, just wondering if there would be a shortcut

[compact pond]

Xd

Just go max damage npc

And off damage to player

And make medium gore or max ur choice

Xd

What

He got ban?

Or what

[tawny kayak]

cooked willie

[wicked plover]

no i deleted it because i fucked up the joke

[compact pond]

ahh I see

[shy lynx]

E

[tawny kayak]

yeah but like with gore off will I then be invincible

[shy lynx]

[title card]

[compact pond]

Kind off

But u can still get knockout i think

If they hit u in the facw

[tawny kayak]

ah

[wicked plover]

going for the throat is such a dirty move

i love it

it works on EVERY tier

as long as a section of the neck or back of the head is exposed you can do it

[compact kayak]

What are your specs bro that game's running smooth af

[versed shard]

Bruh ive only recently started playing and i can rarely get past commoner

[wicked plover]

i like to use skinny swords in those tiers so i can use Alt and stab them

really dam op if you learn to do it efficently

[versed shard]

WAIT ALT IS A STAB

[wicked plover]

alt is what you use to stab instead of swing

you hold tab then use your mouse to thrust

[versed shard]

I did not know this until now you have changed my life

and because of that i now realize x is exchange weapons maybe i should look at the contols

[wicked plover]

just ignore that stupid ass mod pannel, i cant figure out how to deactivate it

[versed shard]

Damn imma go play around with this knowledge

[wicked plover]

i like to use it in the uh

shit what tier is it

the tier where you can choose between arm armor or chest armor

[versed shard]

ive only tried that one in free mode so far

[worn breach]

when will the original game be released Its gonna be online?

[hearty arrow]

is ther a way to play multiplkayer
just got the game
so i dont know how to do it

[austere salmon]

hey livesay, i have a weapon in the works you're sure to enjoy

[atomic stump]

If mean when will the game have multiplayer? Not for a while, at the moment the only way to play multiplayer is with the splitscreen mod and a thrid party service @hearty arrow this information also helps with your question

[austere salmon]

hey von, im making another stupid thing

[atomic stump]

Oh lets see it

[austere salmon]

not done yet

but its a black powder recoiless rifle

two inch, rifled bore, capable of firing acnister shot

[atomic stump]

OOOO

Hell yeah brother

[austere salmon]

you want to know why im making this?

[rigid stirrup]

shouldn't there be different rulesets for armoured and unarmoured armed fighting?

[atomic stump]

@shell bronze one handed weapon used with both hands is a major funsie

[white cloak]

but how split screen if ur on kbm? and the game is not 3d so its wrong i think and when will the full game release?

[atomic stump]

for shits ang giggles?

[austere salmon]

no, because i hate coyotes

[atomic stump]

No clue what your honestly trying to say

the game is 3d

[rigid stirrup]

you get way more control but i think you have less range with a 2 handed grip

[atomic stump]

its fun tho

[white cloak]

i meant like mortal combat

[atomic stump]

Thats how it wont be tho?

[rigid stirrup]

tbf you only won because your opponent completely whiffed his swing

but it is fun yeah

[white cloak]

i meant if its not like mortal combat how do u play split screen and with kbm

[tawny kayak]

wym

:O

[little verge]

Splitscreen requires atleast one player to use a gamepad.

[austere salmon]

a two inch bore, rifled black powder recoiless rifled

capable of firing canister shot, aka grapeshot

[little verge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1274232290670542949/local_coop.gif

[rigid stirrup]

how does the game control on a gamepad?

[atomic stump]

will it kill a human?

[austere salmon]

its a black powder rifle scaled up eight times

[atomic stump]

???

[white cloak]

ohhhhh

[little verge]

How does it work or how does it feel?

You can try it out in the demo now.

[austere salmon]

it'll kill whatever its pointed at, until heavy armor to the order of vehicles is involved

it will also eviscerate coyotes

[atomic stump]

Oh. can i have one

[austere salmon]

no

[atomic stump]

why

[austere salmon]

because it's a four foot lenght of 4140 gun steel, hand forged and bored into a rifled barrel

[white cloak]

and what about the steam remote play will u be able to do tat

that

[rigid stirrup]

oh i had no idea, i'll have to try it

[atomic stump]

can i have the blueprints tho

[austere salmon]

no

[rigid stirrup]

do you find it better than keyboard and mouse?

personally i use kbm for almost everything

[white cloak]

and what about the steam remote play will u be able to do that

[rigid stirrup]

yes

[austere salmon]

make your own, i've already spent a month on the idea, and i have a contact working for a mortar manufacturer to help with ballistic calculations and material thickness estimates

[rigid stirrup]

and parsec

[white cloak]

oh ok

[atomic stump]

oh damn thats cool

[white cloak]

.

[rigid stirrup]

like the hellish quart multiplayer

[white cloak]

the remote play?

[rigid stirrup]

yes thats what i said

[worn breach]

When the game gonna realese?

[white cloak]

oh ok thanks

[tawny kayak]

my european mind cannot comprehend what you are talking about

[rigid stirrup]

late this year iirc

[austere salmon]

basically take a musket

[worn breach]

K

[tawny kayak]

big musket

grapeshot

[rigid stirrup]

black powder recoiless rifle? how does that work

[austere salmon]

now scale it up to a two inch bore, 50mm iirc

[tawny kayak]

how does it not recoil

[austere salmon]

now add a port in the back to exhaust similar to a rocket launcher

and add rifling

black powder recoiless rifle

[tawny kayak]

damn

so you gotta stay clear of the back?

[austere salmon]

two full KS-23 barrels would fit down the bore without issue

[austere salmon]

yes

[tawny kayak]

bro is making a cannon

[austere salmon]

yes

[last jolt]

I stg ultimate challenge only crashes when I'm having a good run 😭

[austere salmon]

and i'm gonna load it with grapeshot because i despise coyotes, they spook my cats and make my dogs uncomfortable, and for this they have forfeited their right ot exist

[tawny kayak]

is it steel balls

or lead

or is it small balls

[austere salmon]

ja, but i could also load it with steel darts or chain shot

[austere salmon]

thats the best part, whatever will fit down the barrel can be fired with sufficient wadding

[atomic stump]

ya know what, reasonable

[austere salmon]

many small bearings, one large bearing, chainshot, flechettes, coconuts

[atomic stump]

@shell bronze another one 😩

[austere salmon]

whatevr i can stuff down the bore will fly from the bore

[tawny kayak]

nice, bearings sound good

[hearty arrow]

thank u

[austere salmon]

im likely to use double ot, as it has immense damage potential without being so small it'll lose its power and reach immediately

[tawny kayak]

it will probably obliterate the coyotes

[atomic stump]

just a poor little naked willie getting attacked

[austere salmon]

that's the point livesay

the coyotes have spooked my cats and made my dogs uncomfortable, they have no right to exist in my woods and will be removed with lead and smoke

fun fact, my county has declared coyotes vermin, alongside racoons and groundhogs

[tawny kayak]

so uh
how do you hold and aim the gun

[austere salmon]

shoulder

[atomic stump]

I was so lucky here

[novel sequoia]

Why are you buttass naked?

[austere salmon]

exactly as one would a rocket launcher

[atomic stump]

why not

[austere salmon]

up over the shoulder, aimed with the iron sight

[tawny kayak]

sounds perfectly safe, how to ignite the charge

[austere salmon]

it's a flintlock

[tawny kayak]

nice

[novel sequoia]

[atomic stump]

you got a problem?

[novel sequoia]

Quite the opposite (awooga humna humna)

[atomic stump]

LMAO

[novel sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/rigby-cat-rigby-pee-funny-cat-gif-436236211739437212

[austere salmon]

but yeah what do you two think of the weapon

[atomic stump]

Its amazing

[tawny kayak]

it actually sounds really interesting, would love to see it

[austere salmon]

when it is done, but it will take quite some time

4140 gun steel is expensive you see

[atomic stump]

@shell bronze this was a beautiful naked moment

[tawny kayak]

dope

blades in this game feel brutally sharp

[atomic stump]

@white cloak whyd you send a link

[atomic stump]

def dope

[empty wagon]

Would anyone agree that the uhhh…the Commoner boss is the biggest wall of the pre-soldier tiers?

[tawny kayak]

probably alloyed with some good stuff tho

[atomic stump]

YES

[tawny kayak]

I can’t unsee Matt Easton looking at that boss

[austere salmon]

he is until you have skill at parrying

[austere salmon]

molybdenum and chromium, it's slightly denser than cast steel but significantly stronger, letting me cut weight overall

[empty wagon]

I mean for beginners (like myself), he is a pain

[tawny kayak]

scholagladiatoria guy talking about context

is in the game

[harsh imp]

Good point.

[empty wagon]

Pfft

[atomic stump]

whyd yall make my game crash

[tawny kayak]

I see bald man with sword, I think of him

[empty wagon]

Also, uhm, what happens if you uh. If you progress to a new rank, but decide to play the rank you were previously at? Does it reset your progress?

[rigid stirrup]

were the other 3 strikes really necessary

[atomic stump]

Yes

[rigid stirrup]

in the gauntlet you can play as a previous rank, you even get bonus points for it

[tawny kayak]

it gives you more points

[rigid stirrup]

in free mode you can play as any rank you've unlocked

[empty wagon]

I see. Thank you very much for the clarification

[tawny kayak]

also you can randomise gear of previous ranks for free

[empty wagon]

Huh.

But also, if you die in a previous rank while you’re currently in a new one, does it have any consequences?

[tawny kayak]

your current rank you need to spend points to change equipment

[tawny kayak]

yeah you start all over again

[empty wagon]

Ah

[tawny kayak]

its high risk high reward

[empty wagon]

Good to know

[tawny kayak]

this is really good for a demo honestly

[empty wagon]

Yea!

[tawny kayak]

climbing up the hierarchy

rougelikes just have that extra adrenaline

the abyss mode is a cool concept too
like going back to hell to fight your latest victim again

victim, I mean opponent xd

bossfight

[jade imp]

hey hi I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask about this but I'm having trouble getting past the Grete Champion in Beggar tier and I'm wondering if there's a strategy most people recommend or something

[tough yew]

well right now we do have a lot of different regions but the core differences is their coat of arms, nothing in terms of equipment which is weird

[zinc mauve]

why is the game still crashing at the end stage? why isnt this shit fixed

[viral pulsar]

can someone help me with the OVRDTH because im trying to get it to work i downloaded it and then doubleclicked on a loadout it made a windows error sound and then i pressed play and i was still just a beggar without the loadout?

[atomic stump]

Nice throw

[tough yew]

Disable gore and lower your expectations for a free demo

[viral pulsar]

can someone help please?

can someone help me with the OVRDTH because im trying to get it to work i downloaded it and then doubleclicked on a loadout it made a windows error sound and then i pressed play and i was still just a beggar without the loadout? ???

[viral pulsar]

oh wiat hold up

[dapper gull]

Didn't know you could fly in this game
https://medal.tv/pl/games/half-sword/clips/l3yWgDmQARcxyCm3s?invite=cr-MSxXNXosMjA4MjYzNjY3&v=15

[viral pulsar]

it worked thanks unc

[tough yew]

No problem I guess lol

I mean different faces for different regions are planned

So you can equate that to also the arms and armor

[dapper gull]

ahh okay I just noticed you can by playing with my sword

[atomic stump]

fencer is not unc 😭

[dapper gull]

Is there any official date when the full game is coming out?

[tough yew]

In between October and December, october will have them showcase a build for the steam next fest

keep a sharp eye on that

[atomic stump]

false

[dapper gull]

any tip on how to control weapns easier?

NEIN

[tough yew]

rocking the Milanese harness of course

[daring lynx]

I’m just sitting here playing gauntlet mode not even trying to win but I just beat the whole entire game

Casually

Not on a pc either

[rigid stirrup]

pick up the knife and stab him

[tough yew]

I play the gauntlet mode occasionally and get to the baron

[lunar eagle]

yo anyone else tired of the abyss

[rigid stirrup]

there's always a knife in the middle

if there's a long candlestick thats also a good option

[daring lynx]

Calm down bro I’m just saying

[tough yew]

Im gonna spend a considerable amount of time in half sword’s customization for arms and armor

[rigid stirrup]

if you click Play Demo! on the left you can play the gauntlet

abyss is not the whole game

[lunar eagle]

i know i just mean like im tired of the abyss mechanic as a whole i wish it could just reset my progress and that be it

[rigid stirrup]

then click return to menu

[lunar eagle]

also i wish i didnt have to play through the whole gauntlet to get to the better tiers

[lunar eagle]

thats what i do

[rigid stirrup]

you can play them in free mode

once you've beaten them in the gauntlet

[lunar eagle]

oooh so i have to beat the entire thing then i get free mode unlocked?

[rigid stirrup]

no

[tough yew]

Free mode is unlocked already you don’t need to do a playthrough

[rigid stirrup]

bottom right of the screen there's a button that says free mode

[lunar eagle]

oh fuck

[tough yew]

You need to do one for the baron though

[lunar eagle]

ive never noticed that

i lowkey am retirded

thanks guys

[tough yew]

happens to the best of us

[lunar eagle]

what kinda armor and shit does the baron have

[tough yew]

Gilded harness

A plume

[lunar eagle]

woah tuff

[tough yew]

Long pollax and sheathed longsword, hammer, buckeler n dagger

[lunar eagle]

so basically he'll fuck you up

just switch to realistic gore then

there are 3 options

current gruesome is good as it is for me as I enjoy the super gore

[jolly nexus]

just do this and there you go

[naive holly]

should be... watch both lol

[naive holly]

Naur

[austere salmon]

it's a two bore black powder recoiless rifle

it'll have a rifled barrel and accept canister shot

[naive holly]

Ahhh yes you mentioned it while I was very half asleep last night

[austere salmon]

there's someting so satisfactory about beheading am an with an axe when you're having a bad day

[shell bronze]

this is true

[austere salmon]

especially if you knock him to a kneel first

[fathom pike]

Ahahahahahahahgahahaha

[austere salmon]

oof

[misty basin]

What about half sword fighting

[naive holly]

Reach is king in these parts

[misty basin]

As the game intended

You only play half sword with the half sword

[shell bronze]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1413714656698040341/7567A21.MP4?ex=68beea1f&is=68bd989f&hm=60ad1071f06c2a1c9dbd118669d8aca85f26980f2efae6c39cd4c1b9434bcb4d&

[shell bronze]

reach is always king in all warfare

[naive holly]

Half swording vs a pike is crazy unless you can get inside the guard quickly

[shell bronze]

unless the other guy has a skill issue 10/10 you're getting poked to death

[naive holly]

You see this shit tho ugh the audio

[misty basin]

Yeah I use the gliched half sword then where you take a swing and then switch to half sword for the vertical half sword

[shell bronze]

my polearm fighting technique only works because ai has its limits and this is a video

my ass is NOT fighting anyone with a polearm without one of my own

[misty basin]

spamming the same attack 🥀 💔

[austere salmon]

hey john, good news, there's been a development on the hellbore

[austere salmon]

in my county, coyotes are considered vermin, like racoons and groundhogs, so they require no licensing and have no hunting season

[austere salmon]

hey militus want to see a good cleave i got earleir

[tender quest]

sure

[mental kelp]

the coyote day of reckoning

[tender quest]

https://tenor.com/view/american-psycho-impressive-very-nice-coping-patrick-bateman-gif-26518058

a mean cleaving

also, i'm starting a new blacksmithing project here soon enough

[tender quest]

make this 🥺

[austere salmon]

less of a sword and more of a cannon

[azure mirage]

yrr

[austere salmon]

see there's a lot of coyotes around that scare my cats and make my dogs uncomfortable, so i'm making a two inch bore recoiless rifle

[austere salmon]

i plan to make a proper longsword at one point, but before that i'm making a halberd

[austere salmon]

[twilit escarp]

A chop out of a riposte, knocked his sword off-target and cut his head off, would've recorded it if my hardrive wasn't full

Phantom Liberty is large.

[crude path]

because it's like every hit i throw is a polite suggestion 😭

[shell bronze]

no that's for skill issue people

[crude path]

like what am i doing wrong here 😭

this is every blunt weapon i use

they just hit like wet napkins

meanwhile i get one shotted

[sullen tapir]

how do you get the playtest version back?

[shell bronze]

you slapped him gently in the shoulder for a good bit

that headshot had him shook already

you just had to double down on another one to put the man down

[crude path]

it's a fucking warhammer being swung into his chest

[shell bronze]

with armor

[crude path]

why tf does it hit like a pool noodle

it's hitting the side of his torso ain't it?

[twilit escarp]

tbf, I'm not entirely convinced some of the supposed high level players don't use mods to amp their character strength, or play on far lower settings than they claim to.

Don't get me wrong, I couldn't pull off half the manoeuvres they do, but I doubt they're all playing on 25% NPC damage like they claim.

[crude path]

how tf is this his shoulder 😭

[shell bronze]

i play 50

[crude path]

that's 40 pounds of metal straight to the ribcage

like wtf 😭

[shell bronze]

25 sometimes commoner so they survive getting one shot

[shell bronze]

nice alignment

• armored section

[crude path]

homie WHAT

you can see the blood on his shirt where it hit

tf you mean armored

[twilit escarp]

ngl, agree with blitz here, that's a hip shot, not a chest shot tho

[shell bronze]

the spark of joy and hope

[crude path]

wait that is the wrong screenshot 💀

[shell bronze]

oh that one

[crude path]

my bad i uploaded the wrong one

[twilit escarp]

even if you grew up in Jupiter's Gravity Well, a hipshot with a warhammer would ruin you.

[shell bronze]

yeah they survive that but an attack like that red screens you too even if you survive

it doesnt cause any permanent damage like limb or head damage though

so if you leave them enough room they just heal from it the same way you do

[crude path]

yeah the npcs just absolutely tank damage if it's not immediate concussive force and/or a cut

[shell bronze]

why do you think i never hit the body on purpose

or limbs

[crude path]

it's clearly biased towards the npcs which is understandable at some point

but like

come on 😭

[shell bronze]

virtually every clip that involves blunt damage used to win a fight i do headshots

[crude path]

and then somehow everyone else is able to swing their sword like a windmill but my guy has the stamina of an anemic 470 pound 66 year old man

[shell bronze]

my guy works just fine

let me get that weapon and use it with my commoner

looks like a mid tier poleaxe/polehammer of some variety

[crude path]

idk is there a technique to use less stamina when swinging

cuz i'm convinced i'm doing something wrong in that department

[shell bronze]

snap flicks

[crude path]

it's like i get two or 3 good swings before my guy is panting and 4 before i'm nearly falling over

[shell bronze]

let me try to spawn the exact polearm in

it's taking a bit

[twilit escarp]

TBF the NPCs are brain dead, they need some damage resistance in order for their style to be even remotely functional. the NPCAI needs a good bit of work, considering they never take binds, never grapple effectively, never aim for vitals and pull off combos at a quarter of the speed the player can.

On top of that, they're almost always full agro when they could play defense and obliterate 90% of players, but I get why the devs decided on something like that, as they would be unstoppable, especially considering they (generally speaking) have perfect edge alignment.

[misty basin]

I have sometimes died and waited in the death screen just for my guy to get up in the background while dead

To be fair he was screaming but lik cmon you ain't dead man

[shell bronze]

works on my machine boss @crude path

[crude path]

"oh just hit heads" yeah lemme just

[misty basin]

You have to is the metal part

[crude path]

(tbf that last one did hit the fence but the FIRST of those shots would've put that man on the ground)

[misty basin]

I think blunt damage is weirdly calculated on wood

[crude path]

yeah i've noticed that too

[shell bronze]

blunt damage wears people down heavy but it requires too many follow up shots

[crude path]

the difference between hitting metal and hitting wood is extremely drastic

[shell bronze]

wood works fine for me

[crude path]

like if i swing a two handed warhammer over my head and you catch the end of the shaft

[shell bronze]

but it definitely is way worse

[crude path]

on your fuckin forehead

you're going down

regardless

[misty basin]

To be honest you do hit with like 50% more force if you hit with the tip because physics

[crude path]

yeah but i mean

that shouldn't matter

in this case

the damage is just poorly calculated for blunt objects imo

[shell bronze]

blunt damage serves me well man idk

[crude path]

that's a modded weapon homie 😭

[shell bronze]

so?

[crude path]

you're using mods so idk how this is a fair comparison

[shell bronze]

modded weapons are made from regular weapons essentially and that there is a straight wooden stick

[crude path]

what other mods do you have enabled

because i can't swing anywhere close to that fast

[misty basin]

You can show it with the other end of the hoe or pitchfork

[shell bronze]

in every clip i send here not a damn thing

[shell bronze]

great idea

[crude path]

and i'd fall on the ground after about the third swing

from stamina

[misty basin]

Not true

[shell bronze]

if i used super strength my character would look twitchy and janky as hell

[crude path]

i'm clearly doing something wrong then

[misty basin]

Stamina is not that weak

[shell bronze]

if i used invincibility then i didn't get hit so it doesn't matter

[crude path]

ok 4.5 swings before i'm panting lmfao

not 3

my bad

[shell bronze]

ok botched attempt # 1

[misty basin]

Try the halfswor stance with the pitchfork facing backwards

It may work

[formal chasm]

try the candleholder

[crude path]

candleholder op af

hardest hitting weapon in the game for zero reason plus you can stab with it

[shell bronze]

amazing weapon

[crude path]

in abyss i don't even use weapons

[formal chasm]

not in full armor and with a poleaxe dude...

[crude path]

i just grab the first candleholder i see

two handed ones

[formal chasm]

a naked dude with a wooden plank is gonna have more stamina and swing faster, obviously

[crude path]

win instantly

[formal chasm]

parry monster too

parrying with the candleholder is some domain expansion shit

[shell bronze]

it's a bit hard to try not to get killed whilst also specifically using the wooden part of the pitchfork in higher tier combat

[crude path]

it truly is you can just grab their weapon with the end with the forks

[misty basin]

True you can also cheese every boss untill commoner by charging at them like with the spear

[crude path]

i've won several fights in spoilance by parrying a weapon with one side and then stabbing someone else with the other side at the same time

[misty basin]

What mod do you use?

To play higher tier with a lower tier setup

[shell bronze]

loadout selector

[misty basin]

Definitely weaker

[shell bronze]

lack of leverage tbh

• annoying ass shield

[misty basin]

True but like the wooden paddle is stronger

[shell bronze]

moment i landed a square hit on the man the same kind of damage and feedback was given

[shell bronze]

that's thicker wood with much better swinging leverage and mechanics than the pitchfork

[crude path]

the wooden paddle hits way faster

and yeah

[shell bronze]

incorrect buzzer

but then again i don't rely on using the wood bits of the polearm to impact fights

yeah works on my machine

i don't swing more than 3-4 in a row anyways

• minimal flicking movements help conserve stamina

@crude path

armor drains stamina way faster but the effect on movement is not that bad

[crude path]

oh so i've gotta hesitate more between swings

i see

[shell bronze]

yeah

space them out

[crude path]

i'm kinda doing it all in like a giant s shape

not really stopping moving

maybe that's why

[shell bronze]

a fun fact is that stamina recovers/stays recovered WAY faster when you keep it high

it's like exponential

so if it's already high it keeps itself high way more

[misty basin]

Or you can force you Willie to have an asthma attack

By spamming the mouse buttons

You loose all stamina and don't recover

[shell bronze]

just a quick left-right/right-left flick will do you favors, the more graceful movements are only good for show/style or combos @crude path

[crude path]

there also seems to be another side to this where like if you're stuck in a grapple with an npc this happnes

[formal chasm]

youre also holding shift

[crude path]

yeah because if i don't i swing like a toddler for some reason

[shell bronze]

blunt damage slows/stops stamina recovery even if it deals no damage

[crude path]

does holding shift affect it if i'm not moving?

[shell bronze]

in grappling there's a TON of instances of micro blunt damage

[formal chasm]

just press it sporadically

[crude path]

stamina i mean?

[shell bronze]

no

shift is fine

[crude path]

ah this makes sense

[shell bronze]

yeah it's physics janks

[formal chasm]

nah it means he keeps bashing head first into people

[shell bronze]

sometimes you get caught against a weird angle and if you don't have a helmet you take like 20+ tiny instances of blunt damage that knocks you unconscious

borderline ragebait when i'm trying to half sword an armored guy but it happens

part of the game as it is rn so i just learn to live with it

[crude path]

you mean like this

[shell bronze]

no that's just saitama using consecutive normal punches

[crude path]

i'm fighting lore accurate A-Train

[shell bronze]

let me see if i can intentionally recreate it

but usually it doesn't look or sound like actual damage is being done

[misty basin]

I always try to abuse the physics engine in theese types of games

[shell bronze]

literally just an immediate concussion or a progressive but still fast drain

ok i give up i keep killing them

[misty basin]

Like what do you mean I can't propell myself In full armour and become the bullet

[shell bronze]

but physics jank exists yes

[shell bronze]

mods will let you do that

[crude path]

honestly the hardest part of this game for me is actually landing shots where i want them

[shell bronze]

practice against dummy

[crude path]

it seems like the swing angle randomly varies

every time i repeat the same swing

[shell bronze]

it's very sensitive that's why

[river cedar]

yo ts pmo im tryna beat the baron my character gets his leg GRAZED by a spear and hunches over screaming

[shell bronze]

every swing is based off of both mouse velocity and movement and your weapon's previous angle

[river cedar]

his leg is FINE

faker

[shell bronze]

that's how i throw kesagiri strikes against shoulders

[shell bronze]

but to circle back around and address this

i personally play on 50/50 or 75/50 and my mod usage is primarily the loadout selector + spawning weapons

[austere salmon]

disarmed that idiot

[shell bronze]

50/25 if i want them to survive more slashes (usually commoner tier)

i don't know about the rest of the people in this game and if they use mods to directly aid their gameplay but i find it pretty grating whenever i'm accused of tampering with damage levels in my favor or otherwise cheating

[lapis marsh]

i just always keep mine 50/50

[shell bronze]

like i'm sorry i can play the game

[shell bronze]

perfectly valid

it's a good setting

[austere salmon]

hey clue, remember when the guy in blue interrupted a duel

handily disarmed

[shell bronze]

lmao

the consequences of not respecting 1v1s

[misty basin]

You don't get hit anyways so it doesn't matter xd

[lapis marsh]

like if you're really playing optimally the damage shouldnt matter since you'll basically always be getting headshot instakills

[shell bronze]

literally

[misty basin]

I used to play max damage but returned to 50/50

Used to be 100/100

[lapis marsh]

if i want the enemy to survive more hits i just go up armor tiers

[misty basin]

It really teaches you what is a lethal enemy attack

[mental kelp]

I feel like the grappling mfs have to be doing this. I was trying it yesterday and I had to heavily pull punches to not knock him out easily, and then further I kept letting go even with what they call the best grips

[shell bronze]

50/25 is a fun setting to keep the general level of survivability as higher tier people without the pesky armor

[shell bronze]

bro i'm telling you

i keep trying once in a while and shit NEVER works

[crude path]

like

TELL ME HE DIDN'T JUST USE THE FORCE

TO VACUUM MY ASS INTO HIS SWORD

WHAT THE FUCK 😭

[shell bronze]

nah

[lapis marsh]

he cut off your hand fam

[misty basin]

Man you have to learn to abuse the physics engine it's so funny

[shell bronze]

he switched from half sword to traditional, up-swiped your ass

and hooked you into it

[mental kelp]

I've picked him up before and he just sits on my hands STILL STANDING like bruh

[crude path]

i'm aware of that but what on EARTH

[shell bronze]

BRO SOMETIMES THEY STAND ON TOP OF YOU

AND NOTHING HAPPENS

[mental kelp]

I've tried kicking out their legs that only works for me when I'm spinning around them for a takedown

[crude path]

with a fucking laser or something

[mental kelp]

never to pick up

[shell bronze]

pay attention to the way his sword moves back to standard grip and touches your bumhole

[shell bronze]

nah you had your hand pressed against the bro's sword

[crude path]

no i mean this

my hand just flies away like it's got a rocket on it

[shell bronze]

yeah that happens

gore system bs

[lapis marsh]

physics be physicing

[crude path]

ik this was just shitty technique on my part

this was just a really funny death

[lapis marsh]

what not wearing gauntlets does to a mf

[crude path]

i got nonconsensually touched by an entire sword 😭

[shell bronze]

rip

[crude path]

💀

[shell bronze]

oopsie daisy sorry about the hand

[crude path]

i don't even think your second swipe did much of anything

he kinda just fell into your sword

[lapis marsh]

its funny how when i watch poleaxe footage i've noticed that basically everyone has their own little flourish they do roundstart, its pretty neat

[shell bronze]

mine is just a standard grip switch usually

[shell bronze]

you'd be surprised what a small swipe like that near the neck area does

that stuff will have them surrendering in the next 5s

• you don't fall over like that from a hand removal usually

[crude path]

yeah that's what i'm saying

he was gonna die from that tiny swipe at the beginning either way

[lapis marsh]

it's also interesting how ive seen basically no one use the longer poleaxe variants

[misty basin]

Mine is 2 grip left top preswing

[misty basin]

I love them

[mental kelp]

bad for changing hands

[misty basin]

You get so much blunt damage on the 2 pose

[shell bronze]

pretty much this

[lapis marsh]

not even that bad

[misty basin]

How do you change hands btw?

[mental kelp]

X

[misty basin]

Oh

[lapis marsh]

if you swing them around the back of the head its fine

i halfsword poleaxes way more than others

[mental kelp]

another gripe I hope they fix for EA is that when you switch hands to left and try to half sword grip it almost always fucks up and lets go of one hand

[misty basin]

Only stance I use

[mental kelp]

sometimes it happens on right hand dominant but not as much because that is the correct side

[lapis marsh]

you cant do a reverse half sword

[mental kelp]

Yea exactly

so it always messes up

[lapis marsh]

just switch back to the other hand first?

[mental kelp]

yes I do that

as a compromise not as something that should be how it is

[lapis marsh]

then what are you complaining about

[misty basin]

I don't like the normal stances on any weapon I either 2 hand or half sword whatever is the 2 opition

[mental kelp]

I'm saying they should fix it for EA? It's more of a problem that exists that shouldn't and I'm explaining it rather than complaining

[lapis marsh]

fair point

[crude path]

slow motion but a decent parry nonetheless

autoblock is more like antiblock half the time

i'm trying to learn parries but that shit will put your sword anywhere but where yo uwant it

[lapis marsh]

dude just barely missed your shoulder. good job tho

[crude path]

yeah those one handed swords are brutal and also i'm trying a new sens that's a lot slower to try to help swing accuracy

[crude path]

and i will say i do think it's working

and this was pretty cool

kicked the sword through him lol

[wicked plover]

i think i got a splinter

[granite estuary]

i'm confused, can i fight the champions again if i already beat the whole gauntlet?
do note that i have yet to beat the baron

[lapis marsh]

blud thinks he squidward

[near bough]

You have to be a giga chad else u cant

[granite estuary]

that explains why i can't then

[crude path]

one more then i'll stop spamming clips lol

another slomo one but it looked cool anyway

[near bough]

nice slice

Try some overheads, those are giga chad moves

[crude path]

i blocked his sword then shoved the shield away and then sliced him

looked really cool but it was pure luck lol

[shell bronze]

always a degree of luck to half sword

[west kite]

will there be a pvp added?

[wicked plover]

wonderful question

who knows

[round stone]

This shi is almost from a biblical mural

Close enough

[wicked plover]

ah yes i sure do love when the lowish quality gore makes it even more creepy

[shrewd inlet]

Is there a way to fight friends? (New here)

[round stone]

this game is more brutal than mortal kombat

[wicked plover]

in some aspects yes

in some

no

fuck why are those 2 keys so close to eachother

[round stone]

yeah, mk tries too much in being gory

too cartoonish

[wicked plover]

Heavy weapons + Max npc damage = Fun

[round stone]

I wonder how tall/small could we be

with the customization and such

[round stone]

heavy, long reach weapon, full armor, against a midget with a knife

fun

[near bough]

Only willies our true friends

[restive garnet]

In EA don't be surprised if you hit Willie and his eyes start dangling out his eye socket

[sterile perch]

is there a exact date or month where halfsword will be released?

[brittle raven]

Yes

[wicked plover]

lame ass boss

lowkey keep forgetting how lame this dude is

[round stone]

what is this? mantis guard, or whatever

[austere salmon]

that's a boss?

[wicked plover]

yes

[austere salmon]

he's using the worst possible weapon for a shield playstyle, he cant put appropriate force into a greataxe one handed

[wicked plover]

hes not even using any interesting armor

either

give him some armor that protects under his arms and shit

[shell bronze]

naw

that fat boy 100% can do it

[novel sequoia]

If he lost the shield and got like a plume or cape or whatever it would be cool

[shell bronze]

boss model plays around with the regular weapons like they're nothing--even the heavier ones

[wicked plover]

give him a big ass blunt

or someshit

[austere salmon]

idk man, i parried the commoner boss with a shortsword

[wicked plover]

sword are easy to parry

so ehh

axes to

any weapon that does overhead attacks can be parried besides sythe i think

[azure mirage]

gt

[shell bronze]

in half sword grip yeah of course

that's the firmest parry possible in the game

[austere salmon]

you're ignoring the other time i did it with teh crossguard

[shell bronze]

definitely not a reliable means

[austere salmon]

how did yo uget that long of a sword in commoner tier

[shell bronze]

they get pretty long

• fov

[upper urchin]

man that motherfucker was sooo hard in the beginning lmaooo

[austere salmon]

i've gotten to the point where i can knock him out easy each time

[shell bronze]

people think a greatsword is a modded one when they see my gameplay and my longswords greatswords

[austere salmon]

the all out hardest boss is the first one, because he starts with a weapon but you dont

[shell bronze]

i kill this man with a different peasant weapon every run (kitchen knife my favorite)

[upper urchin]

Naw bruh u js grab the knife run into him and it’s done

[shell bronze]

bro i'm sayin

[upper urchin]

3rd been the hardest

[shell bronze]

people don't know there's always a knife (surefire killing device) in the center

so they assume they gotta use a stool to beat the man

[upper urchin]

yhhh

[shell bronze]

he's literally free

[austere salmon]

i know about the knife but its a pain in the ass to get

[shell bronze]

the moment you learn a bit of dodging and timing

works on my machine boss

run a circle and take him to the other side of the arena

then buy yourself an opening

[upper urchin]

I js love bludgeoning people with the spiked spear man

idk about yall

[austere salmon]

the big candlestick is the most free weapon in the game

[shell bronze]

big candlestick can beat baron

[shell bronze]

it's overpowered and gets boring after a bit

[upper urchin]

true true

[upper urchin]

actually?

can it hit that hard

cuz u def can’t pierce him

[shell bronze]

the main issue is that it gets stuck against him if you miss a swing

but i've beaten him with it before

[shell bronze]

you can

just extremely difficult

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1410438281669382305/2F95B21.MP4?ex=68bf8503&is=68be3383&hm=aeaa512d186dc2711b1e20e5d0e88c5d4cc6d41380841907498e1b968a6f6dee&

do u glitch his armour or sum

[shell bronze]

no

sometimes the sharp pointy bit just manages to catch his flesh

he still got gaps in the armor

[mental kelp]

wait until they add maille sleeves

[thorny stream]

poor guy got his bloodline taken awayhttps://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/l3G6wici6WctrQErj?invite=cr-MSwxdHksMzUzMTAxMzE1&v=7

[thorny stream]

two on either side of his pelvis and then his underarms

oh

and his ankles

[shell bronze]

bruh actual piss baby

i promise you my boy it does not hurt that bad

[uneven heath]

why the game keep crash when i do the ultimate challenge guys

okay thx you

[shell bronze]

the fuck is that

this thing fuckin sucks

what mod pack ts come from

gatekeeping i see

[simple vale]

the tweaker

[austere salmon]

hey clue, can you help me settle an argument

[shell bronze]

what's up

[austere salmon]

if i were to obliterate something with a heavy bore shotgun, would that not be considered humane

because its not gonna feel a thing, and i guarantee it wont survive

[shell bronze]

if the death is instant it is humane

now, messy is a different story

it's the same reason why you finish off wounded animals and enemies

coup de grace

[austere salmon]

thank you

thats what i TRIED to tell tom, but he says its somehow different from a shotgun because its a heavy bore cannon with grapeshot

a cannon with grapeshot is literally just a big fuckoff shotgun

[shell bronze]

are they gonna be alive and/or conscious to feel anything?

no?

humane and instant

[austere salmon]

no, and if they do survive its a quick spear stab to the neck or head

[shell bronze]

precisely

the coup de grace

[austere salmon]

i tried fucken telling tom but for some reason he insists a heavy cannon firing spreadshot is different from a shotgun

what reasonable difference is there between a wall of heavy steel BB's and a wall of lead bbs

[shell bronze]

both end you with ease so there's no difference against flesh at reasonable distances

[austere salmon]

EXACTLY

[shell bronze]

like you can argue semantics and talk ballistics

[austere salmon]

but a wall of stahl is a wall of stahl

[shell bronze]

but who cares lmao you're not shooting at no goddamned APC

[austere salmon]

no its a bunch of aggravating fucking coyotes that wont go away

[shell bronze]

i have 6 hi points in my possession and 3 12 gauges for this reason

[austere salmon]

i've tried fire crackers, i've tried shouting, they always come back, so now its shot and smoke for em

[shell bronze]

tell your homie to take the wheel
both of you put earpro on
pop out the sunroof and give em some

[austere salmon]

no even the wheel, this is for the Hellbore cannon

its a recoiless rifle, it'll be light enough for me to carry

[shell bronze]

no i'm saying turn your car into a technical

[austere salmon]

its basically a mini falconet

[austere salmon]

while that sounds fucking sick i dont think a kia soul makes a very good army truck

[shell bronze]

if it has a sunroof it'll do just fine

[austere salmon]

it does not

[shell bronze]

rip

but yes kill them

[thorny stream]

best weapon for knights is easily the poleaxe

that thing fucks absolutely everything

[shell bronze]

AND (you didn't hear this from me) who cares if it's humane

[austere salmon]

like, the coyotes are quite literally considered vermin, the only protections they ahve is "dont make it slow"

[shell bronze]

those bitches are invasive harmful pests to the land

and who's gonna care enough to be able to tell that they suffered slow

LET
THEM
HAVE
IT.

[austere salmon]

the county i live in has issued a kill on sight order for any coyote, ground hog, or racoon, high rates of aggression and rabies

[shell bronze]

pop the hogs and coyotes every day

[austere salmon]

and those stupid trash pandas

[thorny stream]

raccoons are not that bad

[austere salmon]

the county says i can shoot them with a cannon

i intend to shoot them wit ha cannon

[thorny stream]

ive had to shoot my fair share of pests

[austere salmon]

i'm not making a handheld cannon to not shoot it at every opportunity ynow
