[thick ridge]

So you mean to tell me, there were swords that were bigger than most men??

[azure mirage]

yeah

[thick ridge]

*taller

[silent stag]

yes

[round stone]

Searching for beauty in combat, brother

[silent stag]

bigger too, those medieval mfs must've been skinny

[azure mirage]

A typical greatsword measures between 150 cm (59 inches) and 180 cm (71 inches)

which yeah

[thick ridge]

Just saw that on wiki

[azure mirage]

bigger than a normal

[thick ridge]

63-71 in

(it says, 'about the user's height')

[stiff olive]

its almost like the word big is in the name

[dark folio]

Yes they were meant to scare people like the montante

[thick ridge]

I was thinking a 5 ft max but that's crazy

[silent stag]

there were also 2.13 meter zweihanders

[thick ridge]

But, I do love historical accuracy

sooo, I can't complain too hared

*hard

[silent stag]

then we have these things made without purpose

I think the 3rd sword can be good tho

[tender quest]

i could swing it

[stiff olive]

the third one could be usable, the left two are prob the result of a overcompensating contest

[thick ridge]

^^ hehe, men

XD

[thick ridge]

my insert object here is bigger than yours!!

[mental kelp]

Ceremony

[thick ridge]

beautiful

[silent stag]

still using slow motion mods in the big F key times

[azure mirage]

ywah

otherwise it would be a below average sword

[languid nest]

combat is an art

every moment is worthy of a statue

[silent stag]

even the boring armored sword duels?

[azure mirage]

hell yeah

[languid nest]

i’d say so

idk. some would of course be more interesting than others.

[lapis marsh]

so real

[languid nest]

but idk. armor is beautiful.

[dark folio]

yea

[lapis marsh]

also true

[dark folio]

i wonder what willies favourite color is

[lapis marsh]

red

[broken venture]

Is this boring?

sebas, what do you know dante from lol?

[languid nest]

why it in the corner

bro put the video in timeout

[broken venture]

I just find it strange coincidence

[broken venture]

idk how to fix it

everytime I screen record happens

[dark folio]

I hate how the plancon kills you if you step on it

[broken venture]

lol

[shell bronze]

yeah, gotta be careful with it

[lapis marsh]

dont step on it then

[shell bronze]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1418855559058292847/D534581.MP4?ex=68d04c76&is=68cefaf6&hm=0a87b90500393e81bdce5cd2bf568f9315e69ed60adcb2a2f118338630b66d69&

[broken venture]

lol

[languid nest]

i feel like it’s too sharp

maybe

[round stone]

Why bro is over reacting

[broken venture]

stepknight

[round stone]

he was stuck

[broken venture]

I fucking loved how I predicted there

but like for myself

[broken venture]

how do you fight high tier?

[stiff olive]

take a weighty weapon (i prefer the longest poleaxe i can get my hands on) and aim for the head to knock them out

if push comes to shove switch to the half sword grip and go in for a close range scuffle

thats how i do it

[round stone]

Headbutt guard

[broken venture]

I am not trying to kill them fast

Tryin' to do it reallistically

here's me killing fast

[azure mirage]

i mean it's a realistic way to kill em

[stiff olive]

take a smaller polearm then, i had like ten minute fights per person when i take the short polehammer

[broken venture]

technically, its a warhammer

but nah

I like with any weapon

[stiff olive]

"hey guys we have this new weapons its basically a hamer on a long pole, what do we call it"

"polehammer?"

"nah thats cringe we should call it a warhammer"

[broken venture]

nininininini

its a hammer for war

so they decided to call it warhammer

also depends on how the head is it can be called polehammer

but just a hammer on a big stick its a warhammer

wasn't that one

NOOO

I DIDN'T RECORD IT

I just made a perfect disarming to a spear and didn't record it... 😭

[sage sail]

are bows coming in ea or nah?

[broken venture]

I don't think so

imagine having to tense it by yourself and aiming at same time

finally bro gave up

[sage sail]

yeah but they already have the bow slomo thing in the demo

[broken venture]

also imagine the bugs that the rope may have

[sage sail]

true

[mental kelp]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3420000558 Long sword book finished again. Don’t mind fuckass guide title and tnail

[broken venture]

and having to take the arrow from your back and placing it on the bow

[sonic gust]

Does anyone have an issue with the ultimate challenge level of getting a “fatal error!” pop up then the game just crashing?

[broken venture]

I had one

[sage sail]

its just that part

turn blood off and turn graphics down

thats what worked for me

[sonic gust]

Cool thanks

[broken venture]

Dude I've been working on parrying and I can now do this

do you really can get that hurt on the shoulder?

[shell bronze]

you underestimate the destruction of a shoulder strike

[broken venture]

on that part of the shoulder?

[shell bronze]

there's a reason why the kesagiri is one of the primary strikes in kenjutsu

[broken venture]

I literally just shaved him

[shell bronze]

that was not a shave

that was a highly leveraged long sharp object chopping against a man's flesh

[broken venture]

And on this one???

[broken venture]

😭

[shell bronze]

you sliced down the length of the man's arm in slow mo/max speed

[broken venture]

I tried to take away the spear, not him

[stiff olive]

this is the one swordfight i think i pulled off well without full flailing

[broken venture]

what is flailing

[stiff olive]

just swinging and hoping for the best

[broken venture]

a

not that one

I hate when I record discord and not halfsword

[broken venture]

Did I just chop him so easly?

[stiff olive]

no chestplate prob made it easier

[broken venture]

he still has a gambeson

[shell bronze]

gore jank

[broken venture]

can ya'll rate my skill from one clip to another?

not that one bruh

[stiff olive]

ive concluded anything nonmetal is cosmetic due to how i die in one hit otherwise

[broken venture]

depends on how the blade hits

if its stabbing it should protect more

the gambeson

it was made for stopping thrusts

not cuts

for the cuts is the chainmail

they should add it

[dark folio]

does this actually help

[stiff olive]

i still pitchfork them to death the same

[broken venture]

the pitchfork its made to go throught tought objects

[frigid oracle]

i could be on a pixel perfect challenge run

only for my game to crash

for no reason

"a fatal error occured" fuck you bro 😭

[broken venture]

and you probably hitted em really hard

[mental kelp]

I don’t know

[stiff olive]

turn down the blood

[broken venture]

cheeze

and

the gambeson isn't made to stop kinetik energy

[stiff olive]

last i checked it is more used for moving hay around

[dark folio]

Ill take that as a no

[stiff olive]

but stabby things are made to penetrate

[mental kelp]

Nobody has ever learned from it and told me how well it worked for them brah

It’s what I used to learn

[dark folio]

Whyd you make it so your reply diesnt notify me

[mental kelp]

Idk

[broken venture]

the hay its hard to go throught when its compacted

shot a arrow at a hay block

[frigid oracle]

also how do i stop armor pieces from just

[stiff olive]

You aren't using a pitchfork on a compacted hay block, you're using it to move loose hay from one loose pile to another loose pile

[frigid oracle]

dissapearing in ultimate challenge

[frigid oracle]

this keeps happening

[stiff olive]

Get lucky

[frigid oracle]

great

yeah im turning my damage to player down to minimum

if they bullshit me i bullshit them

[dark folio]

Will my demo playtime carry over to the ea

[broken venture]

when there's a lot of hay in a pile, the under hay compacts

[stiff olive]

Move the top hay first

[broken venture]

and also the farmers use a special technique to compact it at the time of recolection

[stiff olive]

Also it's not that fucking heavy

[broken venture]

it is

[stiff olive]

It's hay

[broken venture]

hay was actually used by poor japanese soldiers

wait a minute

[frigid oracle]

i fucking hate shields....

augh....

[broken venture]

@stiff olive

[stiff olive]

Looks easy to stab through by might do okay against slashes

[frigid oracle]

also i have this weird glitch where if i hold E my hand just

dissapears

[broken venture]

it isn't

[languid nest]

would you rather have this between you and a knife or nothing

[frigid oracle]

my left hand just becomes stuck in my leg

[broken venture]

remember that it is a lot of small fibers put perfectly to stop a weapon

[stiff olive]

Armor is armor at the end of the day, this was just a derailed argument about pitchforks

[languid nest]

i think it would be cool if Half Sword ventured into different time periods and regions and stuff

South America

aztecs?

that would be cool

[broken venture]

if you'd hit that with anything it would absorb all the energy from the impact and protect you

[broken venture]

too much work for these dudes already

let them rest

[languid nest]

let a boy dream!

[frigid oracle]

i mean itd basically just be new weapons

and new armor

definetly not impossible

[languid nest]

not impossible

[broken venture]

we all want new things for the game when it isn't even finished and they keep working everyday

[languid nest]

if there’s thorough mod support it could be a mod thing too

[frigid oracle]

i mean it basically already exists

theres a really good historical weapon pack

[livid grail]

question, for some reason if i press shift+alt i can't move backwards with S, can anyone help?

[frigid oracle]

with a bunch of weapons most commonly used in hema

just do that but for like say

eastern weaponry

[light monolith]

Does anyone else's game sometimes freeze for half a second then say it crashed even when it still works, it's so annoying bc eventually it forces my game to close

[languid nest]

someone could mod in a bunch of historical south american weapons and like the outfits they’d wear

[stiff olive]

Probably the computer being stupid, try double clicking to thrust instead

[languid nest]

idk if they wore armor

[frigid oracle]

i'd fuck up a kris mod

[broken venture]

idk same to me

[frigid oracle]

not gonna lie

thatd be so cool

[livid grail]

it works on my old pc, but not on the new one

[languid nest]

they’re all just cleverly manipulated assets already in game

very cleverly

[broken venture]

it would be cool to add a bunch of materials and then you'd be able to create your own weapon

[languid nest]

if you’ve used the big wooden mallet

that thing is so awesome

[languid nest]

they’re doing that already in base game idk how extensively

bruh

[broken venture]

they are doing different types of weapons wich you can customize

[languid nest]

nvm

[broken venture]

but I mean like they give you a rock a stick and some rope

[languid nest]

ignore that bruh

[languid nest]

that would be cool but physics based ropes are insanely glitchy

but idk

[broken venture]

I mean the rope to stick the rock to the stick

[languid nest]

i feel like i’ve seen good ones

[broken venture]

how would you put it all together without rope

[languid nest]

hole in rock

[broken venture]

like if it was a rust axe

[near bough]

it's because you change your keyboard langage
means you went certainly from qwerty to azerty

[broken venture]

and the rock flying around will count as weapon too?

[near bough]

Alt + shift is the keybind to switch langage keybord

[livid grail]

that's windows+space tho and i go from qwerty to qwertz to jcuken xd

[broken venture]

I like that npc certanly detect if you're afk

[light monolith]

I found out why willie is so stupid

[broken venture]

lol

[livid grail]

yea, not being able to shift+alt+s is so annoying

it's not the change language keybind, i checked

[broken venture]

I loev ho so underrated the wooden part of polearms are

[livid grail]

it's also not AMD software

[broken venture]

what do you guys think about my skill nowdays

[dark folio]

Good

[broken venture]

I love that tiny spike dude

[broken venture]

where can I send a fan-art

[broken venture]

dayum

[hollow delta]

game is stuck on this screen, uninstalled and reinstalled, verified files, etc. any idea how to fix?

[broken venture]

click on wich one you want

[balmy sand]

the abyss pull from hell

[broken venture]

level of blood

[balmy sand]

had to go through beggar with a short-handed axe

[hollow delta]

https://tenor.com/view/roblox-mighty-omega-gif-22253898

nah it wont lemme click

even after i did all that

[broken venture]

deletle the game completly from your pc

but like

all of the game

and then reinstall

but before reinstalling restart pc

just in case

[hollow delta]

dawg what does that even mean

[broken venture]

deletle every single line of code that has halfsword on it

configuration>apps>halfsword>deletle

[hollow delta]

already tried that

[broken venture]

well

dissasemble your pc and assemble it again

until it fixes

does anyone know if I can get banned or sued for using the logo of halfsword games and game seer on a fan-art?

[balmy sand]

abyss when it's time to either ragebait me with the worst loot ever OR give me the most godly run ever and then get bad touched by a pitchfork

[lone knoll]

Is there a historical reason why the knight only gets neck chain mail and not for his arms or legs?

[broken venture]

yes

[azure mirage]

you have to remove every file

[broken venture]

it took one single year to create a fuil suit, it was just expensive and very heavy, they priorised vital parts for the poorest people

[balmy sand]

youtube shorts history

[broken venture]

I mean that the richest dudes could afford full suit

[balmy sand]

armour was NOT as rare as you think

[broken venture]

lol no

[balmy sand]

and not as hard to produce

[azure mirage]

@hollow delta

[broken venture]

chainmail?

[lone knoll]

Yeah but for knight tier when you are the equivalent of Batman you would assume you’d get a little more chain mail

[sleek gull]

A defensive victory lol

[lone knoll]

I get man of arms not getting as much chainmail

[balmy sand]

lol no

im talking about plate armour

[broken venture]

yeah I also don't like that

[broken venture]

it was still expensive

[balmy sand]

any half-decent smith could produce a non-articulated set of plate armour in like 2 months

[lone knoll]

But a Knight knight should get full chainmail

[balmy sand]

cost depended on where you were lmaoo

[broken venture]

plate armor wasn't that common tho

[balmy sand]

it'd only be expensive in a place with lessi ron

[dark folio]

Armour is already heavy and expensive

[broken venture]

the most common was modular plate armour

[balmy sand]

doesn't look at tapestries award

doesn't read historical sources award

[broken venture]

dude we're talking about full plate armour, the 1% soldiers used it even less

just wait a minute i'll show you what's armour

[balmy sand]

a full set of unarticulated plate

took 2 months to rpoduce for a decent smith

[balmy sand]

and would only cost a year's wages for the average infantryman

anyone of even slight importance was making atleast twice that

[dark folio]

Wasnt full plate armour really expensive and mostly passed down through generations of richer families? If im wrong please correct me

[lone knoll]

I don’t know if it was still used in the period but I’d love to see some scale armour

[balmy sand]

every knight and their grandmother had fullplate

[broken venture]

this was already expensive

they used armor as this

[lone knoll]

Unmatched aura imo

[balmy sand]

literally dirt cheap

you have not been reading any of my points

[balmy sand]

i fucking love scale mail

ouuugh... scale mail... gouuugh

[broken venture]

it has smaller plates of metal inside of the cloth, it was easier to mantain and to produce

[balmy sand]

ignores all my points and statements award

[dark folio]

Cool

[balmy sand]

ough i love mirror armour

[broken venture]

that's almost same as me but the iron its outside in those

[broken venture]

no

[balmy sand]

objectively superior to european plate btw

much better craftsmanship and coverage

[dark folio]

Damn he has won so many awards in such a short time

[broken venture]

how is that superior

it only covers chest and sides

[balmy sand]

Im gonna be dead honest with you cubi i've been ragebaiting you this whole time

[lone knoll]

Scale mail is more effective than plate

[balmy sand]

and I feel guilty about it now

[lone knoll]

Distributes impact better

But it costs more and is harder to mass produce than a slab of steel

[broken venture]

The one I sent its MODULAR plate armor

[balmy sand]

anyway the real reason willie doesn't have chainmail in those areas

is because the devs simply haven't added it yet

[broken venture]

expensive

[balmy sand]

i imagine they do intend to add that chainmail in the future

[broken venture]

too

[balmy sand]

but it just isn't in the game yet

[lone knoll]

Yeah I wish they did

There’s only neck chainmail

[balmy sand]

we shouldn't really expect the half sword devs to have every little thing perfect though

[sleek gull]

nice parry counter

[lone knoll]

And Thats saved my life so many times

[balmy sand]

it's a game in active development

[broken venture]

question for ya'll, what goes first, gambeson or chainmail?

[dark folio]

I cant tell if your willie or the other willie yelled "coward"

[balmy sand]

chainmail on bare skin

[silent stag]

wouldn't that be uncomfortable as shit

[dark folio]

This has to be ragebait

[broken venture]

@lone knoll I just want to leave you one thing clear, the images I sent were modular plate armor that is basically the same as you sent but with a bit bigger plates and cloth on the outside

[balmy sand]

gambeson on top

[broken venture]

he's jk

[balmy sand]

scale mail on skin

chainmail above scalemail

gambeson on top

this is because gambeson is the bset armour, trust

it is both literally and metaphorically 'on top'

on a more serious note, ALWAYS gambeson first

[sleek gull]

He thought he was about to get me with the off hand after my parry...he was wrong.

[dark folio]

Happened so fast

[lone knoll]

I wish they’d improve the stabbing mechanics of the misericorde (long knight knife).
What should be a precise stab between plates turns into a weird dispraxic wiggle where you hope you get one hit

[bright belfry]

new technique discovered

[shell bronze]

axe guys are easy to play with when you have a polearm

[lone knoll]

I discovered my new favourite weapon in the game: the small axe with the dark handle.
That mfer slaps so hard I wish it was a secondary on knight tier

[broken venture]

this was very common tho

[dark folio]

He needs to lower his ego thinking he can run at THE clueless and win

[broken venture]

Guys, just remembered the name of that armor

[sleek gull]

He just couldn't get past the defense!

[balmy sand]

You could say he's CLUELESS

[broken venture]

brigandine

[balmy sand]

about clueless's true power

[broken venture]

this would be te inside and the outside

they normally did this with a gambeson and chainmail

or sometimes just a gambeson and bigger brigandine

[broken venture]

this offered easier mantainance and les work on a single piece of metal, wich let them to do it faster and with less effor

does anyone also love this

[balmy sand]

the plancon's only main advantage in modern half-sword ever since the nerf

is its area denial

and its control

you gain a lot of control over both your enemy's placement (less effective depending on how much armour he has) as well as his weapon (always effective)

it doesn't outrange other polearms and it doesn't have the same busted anti-armour abilities it used to have

[broken venture]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRQpxX2ANrQ

halfsword irl

[balmy sand]

its effective range is superior to the halberd and billhook, but it fails against both of them at long ranges

you can hook, grapple, and pull around your enemy's weapon much easier though

allowing you to halfsword, grip onto an enemy spear, move it, then run in and smash them in the face

[upper urchin]

yo tf

theres actual knight fights in the us

[broken venture]

this one its crazy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNpHMKwjIdM

[broken venture]

idk but probably

[broken venture]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3QQwohEY48

they must get burnt under the sun with there 40kg suits

[shell bronze]

youre talking about rn?

that shi ignores armor still

[broken venture]

guys gtg sleep

mom's killin me tomorrow

[azure mirage]

goodnight cubi

[broken venture]

1:15 here 😢

[broken venture]

gn

[balmy sand]

proof that willy is stupid:

he uses a horseman axe

despite being an infantryman

[dark folio]

Good night cubi

[dark folio]

Sweet dreams and cookies

[bright belfry]

the axe in the video above?

if thats what your talking about yeah it hits like a truck and does better blunt damage then literal maces

and can easily dismember

[hollow yarrow]

so once I finish the gauntlet and get to the ultimate challenge

is there a way to reset the gauntlet so I can just play that again instead

[upper urchin]

a huge button appears on the right side

where u would normally see willy armed

click that

and your progress is gone

[hollow yarrow]

?

I see willy armed in the middle (?)
and no new buttons appear in the top tier that I can see

[upper urchin]

after u finish the ut

willy appears on the right side

w the weapons each time

[hollow yarrow]

oh I dont want to finish the uc

Well I cant lets be real

I dont want to try anymore

[upper urchin]

so whatchu tryna do

[hollow yarrow]

just run the gauntlet again

[upper urchin]

ye u have to win the ut

in order to reset

[hollow yarrow]

ugh

thanks

[upper urchin]

js tweak the damages

in settings

higher damage given

less received

[shell bronze]

check pinned if you want to reset the cheap way

[hollow yarrow]

ty

free mode is ok for now but good to know its somewhere in there

and that I can always just cheese it if need be

also I keep forgetting to get used to using slow mo xd

[nova nimbus]

Anyone have any idea of what the real gameplay loop will be? Like single player campaign? What they have now is cool, combat is steller, but there would need to have to be some progression or missions or something like obviously it wont be a full blown RPG. But something besides whats in the demo right?

[hollow yarrow]

honestly im kinda down for the way the demo is set up

just more items, ways to change up runs from the start, more kinds of variance and ways to control the variance

not that I think its what theyre goin for

[naive holly]

If that gives any insight

[silent stag]

hell no

[naive holly]

Huh

[silent stag]

if the game is going to be like the current demo then it's not going to be fun

I mean yeah it's fun for like the first 2 times you beat the gauntlet

and abyss too

but it's not long enough

and playing it many times is boring

[upper urchin]

true

[naive holly]

Nowhere have they said that this will be the entire gameplay loop. Even the option in the poll doesnt say that.

[naive holly]

I feel you but, theres surly more meat lol

[silent stag]

full content planned doesn't mean content that will be on EA

[hollow delta]

thank you so much can finally play after like 4 days lol!

... and on another note FUUUUUUUCK

[silent stag]

I actually wonder how much content the EA will have

[hollow delta]

dawg i dont even have the characters unlocked in free mode. i gotta do EVERYTHING 🙏

[silent stag]

I atleast hope they add more and better maps than the current stinky arena

[naive holly]

They said playtest was 25% of EA, trying to find the receipt, but

[silent stag]

so we'll have 3 times more content

I hope they're not lying lol

[velvet moss]

only 4x?

[hollow delta]

"every night that i pray, praise the lord"

[silent stag]

well

remember it's supposed to release this year

[velvet moss]

like 4x in every aspect?

or 4x is total

4x in total is like

a new map

[silent stag]

in total I think

[velvet moss]

the blacksmithing

[silent stag]

they also said that the demo is less than 10% planned for full release

[velvet moss]

ah

that makes more sense

[silent stag]

yep but full release will be

like after my grand children die of age

[naive holly]

Shall just have to wait n see

[silent stag]

I just hope the development after early access release is not as slow as exanima's

[amber vessel]

well, exanima has the benefit of frequent community updates on it, as well as experimental beta builds in some of those updates

I hope early access with HS will do something similar.

[silent stag]

yk since HS is more combat focused I hope they add a new weapon and armor piece weekly maybe?

[upper urchin]

is there enough for that to occur

[silent stag]

exanima has a crapton more to work on (levels, thaumaturgy, AI, roles etc etc)

[upper urchin]

i mean getting a new weapon each week would b good

but it also would b boring

[silent stag]

ig you're right

honestly I don't even know how HS EA would be

btw I noticed they changed the physics on the splitscreen demonstration at gamescom

also why are they all laughing

poor guy he didn't get the controller

[azure mirage]

glad i could help

[hollow delta]

yeah

sadly i have nothing unlocked anymore though

[vapid hull]

I hate this neck mesh thing

[silent stag]

I thought I was the only one

[naive holly]

Folley when did you get stinky

And become in charge of a gate

[hollow delta]

oh hey getting killed in the abyss got all the ranks below braon back lmao

[ember yew]

saw this game on tiktok and it got my laughing i played it and it was making me cry lol

when does the full game launch?

[lone knoll]

No the one hander

[hasty jetty]

Q4

[dark folio]

Aint that the ea

[hasty jetty]

yes

its Q4

taking a while to type there @hollow yarrow

[hollow yarrow]

so what are you supposed to do when youre outranged?
When they have an axe and I have a knife Ive found sprinting backwards baits them into a swing and then I get a split second to try to do something without automatically dying
when I have a sword or axe and they have a spear/pitchfork... they never swing
best ive got is hit it to the side, but that's an even smaller fraction of a second of opportunity window to get close

any tips?

Especially when they ahve the goated rod of a million spikes

[hasty jetty]

just gotta hope

work on the timing skills

in medieval history the person with the bigger stick gets the victory

[upper urchin]

try going left n right

bait em type shi

and then fry them

[hollow yarrow]

Ill try it more on the stick of pain

but I havent found any success with pitchforks and spears

pitchforks at least, those are the nastiest

[upper urchin]

especially when u wield them yourself

cheatcode

[hollow yarrow]

no matter where I sprint zig zag back or etc the tip is pointed towards me like a compass

[ember yew]

wheres that exactly?

[hasty jetty]

quarter 4

oct, nov, dec

[ember yew]

oh

[hollow yarrow]

well yeah thats the thing the whole gauntlet I just had the long weapon
in the "grab a weapon" mode I stabbed the long stick guy in the back first

[upper urchin]

when u get to like the 4th rankl

[hollow yarrow]

only learning the basics of this now that im at the end arena

[upper urchin]

youll find heaven

[ember yew]

this game needs multiplayer fr

shit will be so funny

[upper urchin]

the long spiked spear

most busted weapon ing

can beat the rest of the game w that class

[hollow yarrow]

balance change

its now short

thatd probably help

not much though

itd have to be like mace short

[dark folio]

Winged spear?

[upper urchin]

its got a tip

a long one

[hasty jetty]

they will add splitscreen

[upper urchin]

[hollow yarrow]

has anyone ever knifed a pitchfork dude?
is it possible?

[upper urchin]

very much

u have to in the ultimate challenge

if ur unlucky

[hasty jetty]

blade and sorcery without magic

[zinc kiln]

uh to complicated

[hollow yarrow]

nah I just go to menu the moment I see anything short or a pitchfork

[hasty jetty]

an entire vr mod that incorperates the physics of the game would be harder

[hollow yarrow]

anything short ie other knife or that haycutting thing

[zinc kiln]

ehhh

yeah

but

someone needs to make it

[hasty jetty]

someone has made a no magic mod for B&S

[zinc kiln]

bns is like

to complicated

[upper urchin]

lowkey

[hasty jetty]

[mint wadi]

10 days until Q4!

Q4 is early access release.

[zinc kiln]

i wish they gave us a demo to play

[mint wadi]

While I wouldn't expect the game october 1st, it has the chance of releasing any day in Q4 in early access.

[zinc kiln]

half sword seems fun

[hasty jetty]

it is not going to come out the day of Q4

[zinc kiln]

they need a demo

[upper urchin]

you gotta believe it bro

believe it

and it will happen

[mint wadi]

I have a combined 400 hours when you take into account the playtest.

[zinc kiln]

real

#releasedemo

[zinc kiln]

are u mentally ok in the head?

do you need a therapist

be honest

[mint wadi]

Are you sure you want the answer to that

[zinc kiln]

yes

are you dexter?

[mint wadi]

I am not okay in the head.

I do not need a therapist.

No.

[zinc kiln]

be honest

[hollow yarrow]

Yeah my winrate against anything long and pokey is like
I think I managed to kill a pitchfork dude with a sword or axe exactly once
and they just instalill me the other 50-100 times
kinda not worth trying
I've finished the bronze league of the gauntlet and now what's left is diamond soloq

[hasty jetty]

i will beat you

its a challenge

[zinc kiln]

do you wrap ppl in ceramic wrap and kill people

[mint wadi]

I am not normal in the head but honestly it probably helps me IRL so I'll keep it that way.

What is normal?

[hasty jetty]

ceramic or saran?

[hollow yarrow]

gonna just play solo matches for like
months or something
before I try I think

[zinc kiln]

ceramic

ty

[upper urchin]

ts frying me

[mint wadi]

Buddy I'm okay. I'm not a danger to myself or others. Please.

[zinc kiln]

im a little slow

[hasty jetty]

[mint wadi]

This doesn't need to be this serious.

[zinc kiln]

[hollow flax]

how do i do the spin kickbro

[tender ermine]

If you change clothes while in the abyss does it actually heal you or no

[upper urchin]

if yo clothes have been pierced

and ruined

they provide better

since theyre new

[tender ermine]

Alr thanks

[blissful grail]

Yo will this game ever come to console?

[ruby glade]

Beaned

[dark folio]

Depends if you behave

[hollow yarrow]

in case anyone else was wondering the cheese for knife v fork is sprinting around corners
they stab staying exposed, or just hold it to their chest
no amount of dancing in the middle will do that

[dark folio]

What do yall want santa to bring you this christmas

[dark folio]

I want sweets

[upper urchin]

honestly

clothes

[mental kelp]

Half Sword

[dark folio]

❤️‍🩹

[sand herald]

Classic

[harsh dagger]

nice graphics

[upper urchin]

clean

[short monolith]

if i die one more time im gonna show willy my willy

and my shit bugged

[thin verge]

Show that twin

[rocky citrus]

anybody know what the best weapon for t4 halfsword is?

[short monolith]

what the fuck

yeah fuck this game i made it to the final level and my shit crashed and im at medium graphics with a good pc

[rustic violet]

How high have y‘all got the dmg on

[upper urchin]

the one it came with

is what i use

[azure mirage]

50/50 player and npc damage

right in the middle

[sleek gull]

Default.

[clever flint]

Bro I was really far into the ultimate challenge and almost unharmed, then an enemy hit me right in the neck with a spear and it ended in like 1 second

big sad

[azure mirage]

rip

[round stone]

Totally deserved, you had your chest completely exposed

[sleek gull]

Stab!

[velvet topaz]

Does half sword have a release date?

[azure mirage]

#faq

releases Q4 this year

early access

[restive barn]

þy end is now!

[jade sigil]

Beat the ultimate challenge… honestly it sucked, beating people with armor takes forever

[azure mirage]

as it should

[jade sigil]

I got a two handed mace and my strategy for the boss was just to try and break his arms and legs cause my legs were messed up and the boss is super tall so I could get him in the head

[jade sigil]

Yeah… I don’t like it, I just did the gauntlet to see what was at the end of it, I’m going back to peasants and farmers

[azure mirage]

hell yeah

[jade sigil]

I think it’d be neat to have a mode like ultimate challenge where it just summons basic peasant/farmer enemies and you get to pick whatever level you want so you can just like hack and slash forever

Cause the thing you unlock after beating ultimate challenge is cool and beating up peasants with them would be neat but like armored units are just hitting them for 30 seconds until you randomly manage to get them

[atomic stump]

I love how it just catches on the guys face 😩

@shell bronze Fucking grappiling bitch

[austere salmon]

hey von, two things

one, THE SWARM LORD IS UPON US

idk if i showed you already but i'm very proud cause that took me a whole day to make by trial and error

[atomic stump]

that looks cool as hell

[hasty venture]

anyone know if pvp will be added in final game
?

[atomic stump]

eventually

[austere salmon]

and for two, i have a hilarious idea for a swarm unit

the Gatlid, a rapid fire artillery drone with respectable reach but minimal damage and healht

[atomic stump]

That would be funny

[austere salmon]

meant to support units like The Swarm Lord and infestors, buildable only by swarm constructors

[atomic stump]

hell yeah

[austere salmon]

the swarm builders build lots of weak, cheap units rapidly
stuff like Snappers (amphibious explosive drones), Martyrs (flying explosive drones), Gatlids (mortar drones), and Hives (drone deployment towers)

[atomic stump]

they seem important for dispensable units

[austere salmon]

swarm builders? they're the ipmortant ones

[atomic stump]

yes that is what i meant

[austere salmon]

they arent cheap and dispensible, they're t2 equivalent, meant to chill in the backlines of a swarm invasion while infestors and swarming units hold a front line

[atomic stump]

no i mean like they build the dispenisble units? am i right or did i understand it wrong

[austere salmon]

yeah swarm builders build swarm units, infestors can build more infestors, swarm builders, and The Swarm Lord

swarm builders are meant to support a frontline, not be on it, cranking out walls of cheap units to keep a fight going

[atomic stump]

i see

😩

@austere salmon well fuck

[austere salmon]

it would seem ye've been imapled

[atomic stump]

it would seem so

[azure mirage]

he might be dying

yet to be confirmed

[ruby glade]

Particularly cinematic fight

[distant chasm]

Are there any plans for this game on handhelds like the steam deck and legion go?

I feel like once the blood gets optimized in the early access release it could for sure happen

[azure mirage]

no mentions of Steam deck

#faq mentions PC, console and then mac

[distant chasm]

If it can play in console then it can probably play on handhelds

[atomic stump]

Nah

[clever flint]

Me when I have a dagger and mace but im facing the indomitable human spirit:

bro literally what am I supposed to do when im in the ultimate challenge, its the third enemy, and he has a plancon? Like genuinely im weilding a knife or small sword and no armor what am I supposed to do

[grave aurora]

they'd have to find a way to have the game not shit itself if there's too much stuff in the world to do that lmao

[azure mirage]

just hope you get a poking stick or something

[clever flint]

Yeah I guess

I hate how rng reliant this game is

[azure mirage]

I love how rng reliant this game is

[grave aurora]

there is a line where half sword gets to be just simply not fun unless you have 500+ hours, and that's one of them imo

that's when you turn player damage all the way down and npc damage all the way up

[clever flint]

lmao

[real void]

pretty much how i beat the ultimate challenge yeah

[azure mirage]

what

you guys didn't beat the game normally???

how

[grave aurora]

beating the ultimate challenge legit is an unreasonable ask unless you're the kind of person that can try an obscenely difficult thing for hours at a time without getting tired of it

[clever flint]

In other news I sorta figured out dodging which is nice

[real void]

i have like 500 hours between the OG demo and the old playtest. i have been dogshit at the game for all 500 of those hours.

[austere salmon]

it aint difficult

[azure mirage]

I have like

[clever flint]

I put a good like 6 hours on and off doing it

[grave aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/lie-lie-detector-cap-you-are-lying-stop-lying-gif-12198388917433403789

[austere salmon]

just grab an axe and start slashin

[azure mirage]

10 hours and I beat it twice and counting

[grave aurora]

i can't even call that an opinion lmao that's just wrong

[clever flint]

This is an example of a post that is not correct

you are wrong sir

[austere salmon]

ive killed knights with only peasant gear

it aint difficult

[grave aurora]

just bc you find it easy doesn't mean it's easy for everybody, o' arbiter of skill issues

[clever flint]

your skill level and something being easy is ridiculously far apart from being the same thing

[austere salmon]

https://tenor.com/view/hornet-git-gud-hollow-knight-gif-487380231553167495

[clever flint]

dont you hornet me

[austere salmon]

i hornet ye

[clever flint]

🙁

[grave aurora]

keep in mind i'm not saying that the ultimate challenge should be made easier bc that's why they have the damage sliders in the game

it's fine as it is

and that's obscenely hard

[clever flint]

Im not upset about the way its designed, I just wish it was made more skill reliant and less rng

I like difficult games and challenges, but when I have to leave it up to luck I dont enjoy it as much

[grave aurora]

and they also should've made it so the game could survive the ultimate challenge without crashing on grotesque before adding it lmao

you shouldn't have to change to the lowest gore setting and graphics settings just so the game itself can survive the challenge

[clever flint]

TRUE

yeah I love this game but it is TERRIBLY optimized

[austere salmon]

tbf that's a bug even in normal matches, it's a memleak based off blood

[azure mirage]

what

no??

it's only blood twin

wym graphical setting

[clever flint]

yeah gore is fine just turn the blood down/off

[azure mirage]

yeah

[grave aurora]

i'm on the second lowest setting and was on the lowest gore setting and still got a fatal error

[azure mirage]

because u still have blood..?

remove blood completely, you can use any gore setting

[grave aurora]

they should make the game able to handle enough blood to make it through the challenge lmao

[soft osprey]

Gore and blood are separate. Gore affects dismemberment. The issue is with blood. You can read about it in the most recent #updates post

[azure mirage]

you have to go to settings, game, below the damage multipliers it says "gore" and remove blood COMPLETELY

[azure mirage]

yeah

[naive holly]

#updates theres a reason dog lol

Ah moai beat me

[soft osprey]

Youre playing a pre alpha free demo

[naive holly]

Pre pre alpha

[clever flint]

Its an alpha before the early access release

[azure mirage]

the pre alpha of the pre alpha

[grave aurora]

i'm playing the same demo on steam we're all playing 💔

[azure mirage]

yeah

[naive holly]

Its alright to bring up issues and report bugs thats the point, but aint no reason to be pressed

[soft osprey]

Yes. We are all playing a free pre alpha demo lol

[grave aurora]

and i understand there's a reason these things are happening, but still

[naive holly]

It can be frustrating of course, but "fix broken game it should be able to.."

It shouldn't be anything, its not even a product yet. Its a test

[austere salmon]

hey rec i got a stupid idea for a unit in BAR

[grave aurora]

"can i get 10,000 pizzas for the homeless"

[austere salmon]

a cheap mortar drone called the Gatlid

[naive holly]

Of course ye do

How does a drone be a mortar

[austere salmon]

by firing up and havin its explosive shells fall down

rapid fire, weak damage and poor accuracy, but respectable reach and poor health

[clever flint]

Doth thou hast playable interactive instances on thou telecommunications devce?

[azure mirage]

someone hasn't seen the firework drones..

[naive holly]

This is facts

I have not

[azure mirage]

oh good lord

[naive holly]

Also unrelated but one of my favorite emojis is gone forever bc some backwater dead server I was in finally closed

[azure mirage]

imagine, a lit firework attached to a drone
that's it

[naive holly]

Its giving kamikaze

[azure mirage]

not exactly

the firework goes off and goes wherever the drone is aiming at

there's some that are beautiful

[clever flint]

You should recreate it in ms paint

[azure mirage]

literally a flying remote controlled gatling gun

[austere salmon]

hey rec, didnt i once beat three knights with only a scythe and no armor

[naive holly]

I dont remember but sounds sick

[austere salmon]

von didnt i once beat three knights with only a scythe, no armor, on stream with you

[sharp vapor]

Sorry if this is a bad question but will map making ever be released anytime soon?

[azure mirage]

most likely not

[sharp vapor]

Well ik its released but is it ever being released to the public?

[azure mirage]

heard something somewhere about maps not wanting to be stolen or leaked so they're not releasing

[sharp vapor]

Wait whyd other peple say theyre already able to make maps

[azure mirage]

oh you mean people making maps

[sharp vapor]

Yeah

[azure mirage]

yeah probably, never seen it as a mod though

[naive holly]

There's one guy

[sharp vapor]

U think being able to play map mods is ever coming out or no

[naive holly]

Who cracked the code

But it under wraps

[sharp vapor]

Cracked the code meaning?

Like he found out how to play other maps?

[azure mirage]

shrug

[naive holly]

You talked to chrome about it already in #modders-guild-hall

[clever flint]

People be like: "Wow we found a way to mod maps into this game isnt this so cool?
Unassuming Individual: "Yeah wow thats so awesome can I see it?"
People: "Hell no"

^ to be clear Im joking

just kinda funny

[azure mirage]

bro was joking

[sharp vapor]

Ultimate gatekeepers🫩

Kidding

[naive holly]

I was going to dig it up and saw that lol

[clever flint]

BRO THEY PUT GM CONSTRUCT IN THERE

[sharp vapor]

Hope ill be able to play other maps sometime

[sharp vapor]

Bro they have ufc rings

[naive holly]

In a couple months we all will

[sharp vapor]

Oh cool

[naive holly]

And l4d looking ass maps

[sharp vapor]

So far ivejust seen ufc and gm construct

[dawn cliff]

my game froze for 2 seconds and i saw my player and opponent butt ahh naked

[sharp vapor]

Thats like in the upcoming update right?

[dawn cliff]

who want pictures

[sharp vapor]

Grabbing objects and slamming them into peoples heads🥹

[sharp vapor]

Bro u can play as wille butt ahh naked as a mod

[azure mirage]

yeah it do that whenever it's loading

same with abyss

[sharp vapor]

Wait wait wait wait is that fire i see?

[clever flint]

oh I didnt even catch that

[sharp vapor]

Looks like theres gonna be a fire update coming

No pun intended

[sharp vapor]

DESTRUCTION!?

One unoptimized update coming up🥹

[naive holly]

Original post

[sharp vapor]

Bro is willie holding a crossbow in that pic?

[fresh gyro]

The game looks absolutely beautiful on the highest settings and i wish my pc was powerful enough to run it at a reasonable framerate

[sharp vapor]

Also why does willie look so buff

[naive holly]

Yes

[clever flint]

YOOO

[naive holly]

This is why he is buff

[fresh gyro]

I wouldn't call it a pre-alpha, pre alpha would be like half sword dungeon

[naive holly]

Quite literally is a pre alpha bug testing demonstration build

[sharp vapor]

Swear i remembered customization similar to this in the early early EARLY staged of the game

[fresh gyro]

I'd say it's a late alpha, soon to be beta considering early access is coming soon

[sharp vapor]

Back when it was still on itch io

[naive holly]

Hey thats just what they've labeled it as. 3mo ago was still the current build we're using.

[clever flint]

whats half sword dungeon?

[naive holly]

The old 0.3 demo

[clever flint]

ahh ok

[shell bronze]

half sword withdrawal is serious

[fresh gyro]

the first ever version of half sword

[naive holly]

Whats your deal

[fresh gyro]

no older than that

[naive holly]

Itch.io? Quite sure thats the oldest public build

[shell bronze]

downtown connecting with the local scene

[fresh gyro]

not the itch.io demo

[naive holly]

Ew, grass

[naive holly]

Ahh then im unfamiliar

[shell bronze]

first i was at a festival, now i'm on a 1am car photoshoot with my buddy

[hidden whale]

this is a demonstration of the combat and physics engine. for all we know the 1.0 could be like kingdom come deliverence storyline but with these physics

[fresh gyro]

let me find it

[azure mirage]

yo

[fresh gyro]

here

[fresh gyro]

first ever public build of half sword

[naive holly]

Wouldn't bank on it being story driven but theres gonna be a whole lot more meat to the combat mechanixsd feauree

[clever flint]

what is WWATD

[restive barn]

wtf is halfsword dungeon

[fresh gyro]

first ever public halfsword build

[restive barn]

isnt that gauntlet

[fresh gyro]

nope

[broken venture]

Good morning fellas

[azure mirage]

yo

[naive holly]

Wouldn't bank on it being story driven but theres gonna be a whole lot more meat to the combat mechanixsd feauree

[fresh gyro]

you already sent that

[naive holly]

Yeah but gabulngussy hadn't seen

[azure mirage]

what

[wide nebula]

this game is too damn addictive. i'm getting bloodlust

what's everyone's favorite weapon?

[clever flint]

whichever one lets me hurt willy

[azure mirage]

the peasant version of spike

the one with the 2 spikes idk the name

[shell bronze]

longsword of any variety

[wide nebula]

i'm a big fan of the polearm and bill as well, the decapitations are lovely

two handed axe works nicely too

its really wild if you think about the armor that was worn back in the day how chaotic and random everything could have been. poor line of vision, loud noises and just melee mayhem

[austere salmon]

gatlid works

gatlid really works

[azure mirage]

everything but half sword

[broken venture]

What do you guys think about this fan-art

made it by myself

[silent fossil]

how do i unlock the top tier

the one on the tippy top

[fierce acorn]

you prepare for the ultimate challenge

[silent fossil]

wtf does that mean 💔

[quiet ferry]

Have you gotten to the top tier in gauntlet mode

If so

Click the play thing as normal and

You may get the baron if you are good enough

[fierce acorn]

good neck hits king

[orchid furnace]

is this the skbidi dip dop discord server

im a bit confused

[fierce acorn]

???

[mental kelp]

It is

[wide nebula]

i'm at veteran and im too timid to continue for now

[quiet ferry]

You could

Mod and cheat your way through

Set yur damage sliders to minimum and npc sliders to max

[wide nebula]

lol

shameful dispray

[toxic anvil]

yall think well get muti player?

[wide nebula]

i'm hoping in a year

team's first project, they need more experience and probably manpower, we need a wealthy patron like elon to donate 10M to the project and lock em up in the studio until its complete

surprised he hasn't found out about this game yet, its probably right up his alley

[quiet ferry]

Or

Just

Do it normally

If you die

Sad times

[wide nebula]

i've recovered one from abyss on militia but not veteran

[quiet ferry]

Does splitscreen count

[quiet ferry]

You will probably be fine

[toxic anvil]

he likes gor or sumXD i get it tho but they could monitize like the ufc games

[quiet ferry]

Vet’s boss has no head armor so just bash em there

[wide nebula]

it was hilarious to see asmongold try it once and crash out
