Thats it. i tried, its broken,.
idk what megalomaniac who thinks its fun but the ultimate challenge is fcking broken
Yeah it kept happening to me when I was close to winning I turned it off then finished it
turn off blood and pray half sword gods feel nice today
new threads for willie
I had a dream about being in the void
It was interesting
Idk how to describe it though
bro's playing half sword abyss 2
he looks like he's about to diss you in the most medieval language possible
is the game gonna have MP?
from what i heard split screen will be at early access
that being this year
i could just image going into a carnage match with real random people when the full game comes out
50% of MP players will be swinging left and right randomly , 40% will have some decent skill and the remaining 10% will be cooking with winstreaks
true LOL
just seems like it would be fun, fully okay with it being local/sp only tho
zerotier and hamachi will be goated
is this enough shields
Needs buckler belt
What about a targe (shoulder mounted shield + the firearms shield for optimal punching?
not enough space
the shield merchant
we'll see about that
no buckler shield belt
A shield towards the enemy is worth more than one away from them. Targe makes you a more directional wall

Least over the top Indian movie
shield icons lined up like the rounds in a revolver

you either used mods or only had two bucklers equipped
i had more than 2 bucklers
also no shield mods
- the reason why you cant equip a targe is bcz you cant equipe both a targe and a tower shield at the same time
if you want to understand this phenomena, you have to look back in the og abyss demo
back then, targes were worn on back.
then, tower shield came along and it is also worn on back
but targe shield is still worn on back, so the position is artifically altered, but in the save it is still on back
so how did you equip both at the same time
the tower shield's position is also artifically altered, so it took place in one of the side holsters.
and then, since its artifically altered, it automatically goes to back
unfortunately, bucklers also use side holsters, so i only get to equip 3 bucklers
How to make suggestion ?
just wanted to brag about beating the demo
no other game would i spend 45 hours on just the demo, very excited for the full release

I did it. but Abyss isn't finishing, it just keeps going 😭 !!
play on low settings
thx
BRO WHAT THE FUCK, SOME BUG ENDED MY ABYSS RUN OF THE LIFE
nooo
yall
It feels like when I stab my character targets the legs
like even if I look up I barely hit the stomach
hwo do u even attack precisely its feels very unaligned
fun fact, if you have ultimate challenge unlock but DIDNT beat the gauntlet yet, you can play as the baron.... without armor or weapons.....
HOLY FUCK HE HITS HARD REGARDLESS WHAT (my sliders are default wtf 😂 )
Lots of practice
Sensitivity can help a lot
You can learn to turn the set guards into a good offensive
Lower sense
update: do not play as naked baron in the brave stand mode
LOL
it is low . ig will need to play more
oh thats gore... thats gore of my comfort character
How many hours you got?
update: i was able to git gud
yay
Tuff screenshot
photo mode
nice work!!!
good nights
apparently this was non fatal
when r u gonna try tyhe red poleaxe
when the small bilhook
when i stop reposting clips and go to my computer after work
that thing is braindead in its main tiers
i mean the grass cutting tool from peasant
not using that bs
oh boy
i love this game bro
the other 3 willies gave up, i turn around and the willie that was unarmed but didnt give up fell and picked up a weapon
that was pretty brutal
I CANT DO THE FUCKING ULTIMATE CHALLENGE BECAUSE THE GAME KEEPS FUCKING CRASHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee fix ur game devs
Yo mane
Whenever I leave the abyss, dead or alive, my game crashes.
It saves my progress and whatnot, so if I win the abyss in the gauntlet mode, it's no big deal since I can just relaunch the game and still keep my progress the way I normally would for winning the abyss
It's just a little annoying to have to restart the game every time I go to the abyss.
I've resorted to quitting to the main menu just before death just so I can avoid the abyss. (I really do enjoy the abyss, but it's not worth the hassle of this bug.)
It tells me I'm out of video rendering memory when I crash, but I have an RTX 4060 o.O
what graphics preset are you playing on?
Medium
dx11 or 12?
12
have you tried switching between them?
honestly, no
give it a try and see how it goes
Guys, is it possible to play the demo version with a friend online?
Turn off blood. Will be fixed in early access
No
Early access will have Splitscreen
😭 😭
Which you can play remotely with a friend through parsec or steam remote play
I don’t know exactly how to explain it but It affects graphics and what not.
Dx11 doesnt look as nice typically but it’s smoother
dx11 and dx12 changes how the game is rendered
cinematic is still too tuff loll
Well, cinematic also isn’t meant to be played on, and will be removed in the future
oh, huge
How tf do U get past the first grete champion
Without the candle stick
Clearly blunt does nothing and I cant even get close enough bc i get slimed within 2 feet of him
Does anyone play halfsword on a steam deck?
cinematic should be kept
supersampling, RT, the most expensive fuckass rendering tech and effects
just to spite the PCs of today
DX(AKA DirectX) is an API for rendering. DX11 is the predecessor to DX12(or DX12 Ultimate), so it looks worse, however, despite DX12's optimizations, DX11 is better for lowwr end GPUs, like the Nvidia GTX series, or the newer entry-level GPUs with DirectX 12 Ultimate(However they've been improving upon each generation, leading to playability on DX12, but not as well as the good ol' DX11)
RT?!
You mean like...
Full RT or just
Lumen?
Rail tea
full hardware real time rt
For half sword???
Hell yeah brotha
We are using HW lumen
The rich demand the best graphics
Not enough for them
tf is a rasteriziation and pre baked lighting just spend thousands on equipment ❤️❤️❤️
You shall do FULL RT
I'm talking no rasterization at all
we hate poor people
Hell yeah
make the game 100 bucks too
i'll sponsor i got you
150 bucks + 50 bucks for entry for every open game
Hes the most fun boss and theres a bunch if ways
Easiest is the knife
Bro what
Yayyyyyyyy
Wdym hes the most fun
He slices me every time
easiest is the long candle stick
And bc he just spams the same swings
Indeed
If you'll ever seen the commoner boss... You're gonna regret neglecting the fun of the first boss...
Ye but u get armor
Run around and dodge
tf is a commoner boss just use the pitchfork 😂
That's peasant tier
which makes it even funnier
I know, I did this
Not commoner though
How do u guys have hella control
Don't swing youe weapon everywhere
i did a lot of prsctice
My guy just kinda flops his pitchfork around]
Use guarding
Hold the alt key while moving your mouse up or down
Like he might move the weapon an inch but never acc do anything
quick jabs and be prepared to dodge/backstep
do not commit to anything with the commoner boss
He just is mayne its chaotic and you can do it a bunch of different ways
And lower the sense a bit
That's how the pros usually do with knives, swords, or... Anything that has a pointy tip
i dont actually
Ill show u what just happened
alt sucks balls
This is the "default" way to beat the T1 boss
Blasphemy
Need to talk in chat enough to reach level 2
Oh]
How do u like
control that hit so well
if I try stabbing the knife just swings off
Alt > pull back> push foward
Is it not double click?
Both
both
Alt enters the stabbing stance
double click i believe in
Youre bonkers bro
Double click is so restrictive
my honest
You and I are going to be doing some remote play so I can either embarrass myself or prove once and for all that shenanigans is the superior way to play.
dibs on kbm
Can we not both use kbm lol
Ong dont know the limitations of remote play or splitcreen
Alright im going to bust out the wired Xbox controller and start my gamepad rocky training montage
I have very low expectations for remote play sessions. In a way, I think this is going to be a "you think you want it, but you don't" situation. And not the Blizzard version.
Youre not wrong, it might (probably will) be terrible but it'll be interesting to find out.
yall think i live this?
you got it
half swording really makes me feel like a medieval ninja
celebratory concussion
Cant forget to celebrate!
btw jus curious what do u use to clip vids
Steam
aa
i should try and figure that out, my current clip software only works with games its been setup for
yeah used to use NVIDIA clipping thing but it was too much work to drag it into an editing software to edit it each time.
how does steam clipping even work
I use medal but recently all my clips have been choppy/laggy
My game crashed because i punched willie too hard💔
or just clipboard it
It records your entire game and then you can and save it to steam and you can even just copy the video to clipboard
hax
modded katana is great
is hax
My sword got stuck 😭
How good is a single arming sword in commoner tier
Like empty offhand, just a fencing/sabre-style single sword
for me It's ass but yeah usable
You can use about anything if you practice with it enough
this was the first time i've heard this death sound even after 120 hours played...
Longsword dominates in commoner tier yea
Just wanted to see how a fencing style does
Especially since I want to do either that or, again, arming sword/falchion + shield in militia tier
first stab totally intentional...
Did you Know: If you wear a dagger on your hip, and hold Q to grab the grip, but don't pull it out and leave your hand there, you can form a proper fencing stance?
a pig iron on his hip 🎶
pig iron
Shield bashes always end up feeling like "Im tired of playing with you."
made you stop in your tracks
real
1 more day till i get a pc, Hopefully
You're coming with me to see the principal young man!

Dude
Youre just saying things
Still
Polish is balto slavic
English is germanic
i had an unexpected thing to happen
i won and died at the same time
and i got spawned without ANYTHIGN
just totally naked
Silly guy
crazy
I stole his weapon, not so funny being at the other end of the spiky stick, huh?
me and bro with a robot
happens when you die and win at the same time
That’s crazy how much did that cost
well to preface I don't even own an actual harness yet so I can't exactly tell but it mostly depends on the style
20k-50k
Fencer is fucking loaded apparently
I'd love to half sword people irl
Im going to get a lot of mileage out of this one i already know it
Fencer for some reason I feel like you're a lawyer or something lmao
Why can't you walk backwards while holding alt?
Could be…
That’s insane
Do you think a suit made out of tin cans could protect against a sword slash
Probably
Sounding like the average cruelty squad armor upgrade now
That’s a huge investment to be making you gotta be at least a few hundred K in bank
Psycho patrol
I wish cruelty squad gave us the stormtroopers armor as an upgrade but that’s an entirely different thing now
how I be rolling up saxony
Looking like a king
pretty clean
Ooof
Good stabbing!
Its satisfying as hell to get it on the sallet helmed enemies
Even more when you rarely get them via the visor lol.
Their evolving
its kinda hard to controll
is it possible to change the sensitivity ingame? (mouse sensitivity doenst work on it lol)
i probably need to change some setting somewhere else
Bro really wanted that hammer
,
dawg i just killed this guy.... WHILE BLINDFOLDED IRL
its actually crazy fun ive been fighting guys blind and it actually wasnt as impossible as i thought it would be
lock on turned off too btw
How?!?
Does the game even have Spatial Audio
i mean 95% of fights are decided within like 2 seconds
you can just swing first
and win
barely. you can also hear their footsteps if you listen well enough
You kill him blindfolded yet I bleed out every time while fighting them
but the sound of their audio is still directional compared to where the character is instead of to your camera
so it works out pretty nicely
ive just been binging daredevil lately and said yk what would be funny lol
i found a game thats basically a mix between half sword and dinosaurs
you play as and kill dinosaurs in king of bones, a physics driven gorey fighting game made in UE5
gm longsword nation
Blehhh
What
Cool
got this sick execution
Looks like it has moves binded to key binds sooo
its not fully halfsword tho
so you cant spinkick a tyrannosaurus and neither can you wrestle them
well yo ucan but its actually just ramming into them and eating them alive.
Batting practice
after 37 hours, i have beaten the knight boss
if i lose now, will i lose all progress?
That's NOT how you half sword
good morning
Overhead and left swing is so hard 🥺
overheads are so fun once you nail them down
clobbering someone with 4 overheads in a row
peak
I started playing like 3 days ago. Just need time😅
Imagine a ww2 game with amazing blood mechanics like half sword
Would be cool tho
straight up shoved it in his throat
all that for a hammer
someone had asked me if there is a gun mod for halfsword, and i realized i have no idea
anyone know?
nice
is half sword actully coming out in 2025?
paid early access will come out in Q4 2025 (Last 3 months of the year) unless it gets delayed. No official date known
ok thank you do u know how much it will cost?
The early access will most likely be 20-30 $USD according to a survey.
It might be more or less, since the price is yet to be released to the public
ok tysm
There is not
thanks
thats cool
what do u use for clips
🗣️ hellaway ‼️
is it normal that my character is totally butt naked
i'll try to make some clips of pommel strikes after school too
known bug when you lose and win at the same time
hype is real
Am i the only one whos autoparry doesnt activate?
autoparry is still a thing?
why the hell is my blade so dull
idk I saw someone complain about it on reddit but Ive not once seen it activate
swingin that machete like an african junnkie

after the slicing stops dicing, my brain wants me to strike as blunt as a train
you have the true warrior's spirit
all balto slavic languages come from a single proto language; proto balto slavic. all germanic languages come from one language, too; proto germanic. both proto germanic and proto balto slavic share a common ancestor; proto indo european.
tldr: all balto slavic and germanic languages share a common ancestor which is proto indo european
Can you please do another, smaller tldr for this part
tldr: language is yes
I’ll do you one better
tldr: lan
real
like half of the worlds languages share a common ancestor
which includes germanic languages and balto slavic languages
(half is an exaggeration)
pretty close tho
Tldr: long time ago caveman make sounds to communicate
actually it was 4000 years ago
4000-6000 approx
All except maybe the americas and Japan
years ago
And China. And Hebrew. And Hieroglyphics. And all of the afro asiatic languages.
Is the game coming out in EA during next fest?
Or is it just a big piece of progress?
Steam next fest is the last thing on the roadmap before early access, which releases sometime during Q4. so unless theres an unexpected delay, you can expect the game sometime within the next few months. We don’t know what they have in store for next fest, im assuming maybe a release date
Thanks
I’ve been gearing up for it to come out but then I realized that there’s still no release date
I’m fairly certain someone else has probably made this comparison, but why does Willie look like Joe Rogan?
Yes a mixture of Joe Rogan and Putin
when is the game being relised
Tmr
in 1 hour....
bru
check the faq
gave bro his answer and this is what i get 😔
sdiybt ❤️
cruel cruel world
im sorry:(
all good gangothy
good
the next 2 months
alr
RIGHT??? like a weird Fusion of the two
is it normal that i keep getting fatal errors on the demo ?
probably since its pre alpha but worth asking
is 2450 a w score?
Yes it’s a w score
yay
I can barely make it to 1000 sometimes
Not the scythe but plancon guy
i cant make it that far because the game decides to fatal error me
Turn gore down from max
thanks mayo
ohh yeahh
Usually that’s the only issue
yeah it works sometimes
but even when i try stuff like that it still happens
maybe its on my end or sum
idk
What are your graphics?
i usually play on mid gore
Like currently
no idea
im too lazy to check
so like i said it might be on my end
🤷♂️
I don’t mean your specs or anything just like in game graphics
I run mine on high graphics on mid gore and have no issues
oh i dont know right now but to avoid crashing i set it to the lowest level
and it worked for a little bit
Alr
Idk then, game comes out in early October in a few more days
So it’s definitely just a demo issue for now
yh
i don’t think they gave a confirmed date did they
October games con
Is the confirmed window
oh shit alright
So like 13th - 20th
Of oct
If I’m not right they said the release window in the latest wip
hey does anyone know how to refresh your progress in gauntlet mode?
Idk, it’s been a while, I’ll look
👍
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\SaveGames
That’s the file location I think
So try that
thanks friend
shit i did not know blood footprints were a thing
how you played so long and found out only now
idk
Its not always consistent tbh
People saying the flamingo legs bug is slipping in blood is hilarious tho
Definitely not but thaat's really funny
There are times the match starts and I take a step forward and faceplant hard because of flamingo legs
No blood on the floor needed
Will we just not be able to play the half sword demo once the game comes out
AFAIK the plan is to keep a demo available
might have something to do with it tbh
shit pmo though especially in brave stands where movement is the absolute most important
fighting 4 people (3 who match/exceed you in tier) without taking damage is a pita when flamingo legs kicks in
If im being completely honest
Even with hours of consecutive gameplay
I have never, not once. Experienced flamingo legs
If yall didnt have clips id think you were a bunch of schizos
This has probably been said before but I've never seen so much enthusiasm over a mere demo. Like people are putting so many hours into it, and there's mods? I've never seen a modding community for a demo before
I mean people with dx11 are also experiencing it, no?
thanks for giving me that final push to play more half sword tonight
I have like 11 hours in it since i found it a week ago, just tonight I downloaded mods for first time, and I'm definitely gonna spend way more hours messing around with modded weapons
idk it's just bizarre
you'll find yourself returning to vanilla after a while
nvm
this guy said half sword is trash when I was talking with my friend in a call
ha
Kill him
bet
Hopefully u called him a ragamuffin flibbertigibbet scoundrel coward
lol
Father Moai
your friends opinion is wrong
well
that guys
clueless did u recently change the export settings for ur clips
me and my friends are dying for multiplayer!!!
we are dying in anticipation and not hacing a date is killing us lol
maybe its just the dorm wifi
same old
during the day my clips load easier if they're not pasted links because they're compressed reposts from my phone
What.
@naive holly thought of you and decided to toss another bone
OHHHH
yeah they're full fat 1440p60 high bitrate clips straight from steam clipboard option
thanks haha her name is willow
yay
shes a diva
my pfp is my cat his name is Thunder
ill post a good photo in #animals soon
holy fuckin grapple
they shoulf add a weapon to half sword that is half a sword
yeah it's exactly why i repost my clips
are the environments on this site playable on the steam version
Posted a vid in game footage, using a lot of actual halfswording in it.
Ignored it for so long despite it being the whole namesake of the game, lol. Its fun.
ouch
hasso kamae into hidari kesagiri
i gotta stop throwing my sword LOL
its just so rewarding when it does work out :/
this is a gritty clip with a lot of skill issues and damage taken but someone asked me for a clip like this a few weeks ago so
quick question, are you making your loadout each time you die or is there a way to save it after death
cause u always got the red with the cream hat
what shoulder armor still does to a mf
save
loadout selector
when I click T to save it doesnt save after death :(
what you do is you save it and then save it to loadout selector
my "loudout manager" says coming soon is my enhancer out of date
then when you die you pick that same loadout again
loadout selector different mod
im so special
separate but it works with trainer/enhancer
Which rank icon art is y'alls favorite?
i always get most excited to play militia
I like the Peasant one but the flag by the Knight is pretty cool
what's your favorite blotter art?
I have made loadouts hehehehe
uh oh its not working
lets not fucking go :(
I click on the loadout name and it just gives me the winows error sound i love my life
join battle
huh
hi hi
none of this shit loads my phone sucks
ur so right
Don't have one
i always forget u like polearm too
the only 2 weapon types i play tbh
double disarm after he kicked me very disrespectfully
oh god
@shell bronze i just lifted my whole ass arm irl when I was tryna raise my sword
badass
how do i record my awesome gameplay
that's how you know you're getting immersed
steam
everyone needs to see
sighh
noooo 😭
time to go partake in hema son
Im at the point where part of the game is second nature, but right now im so tired
so ig my whole body wants in
does anyone know how to properly do the one move where you raise your weapon above your head then swing down
i forgot what it was called
my university actually has a kendo club, almost want to join
i could be drunk on a saturday night after a 12 hour shift and still be goated on god
very different principles tbh
yeah ik
i don't recommend unless you specifically seek out kendo
otherwise kenjutsu for japanese swordsmanship
is this ragebait or do you actually not know
the only sword related thing would be kendo where i am i think
buy a training longsword and a dummy
how to do it or the name
have fun
overheads?
you pull up and you pull down accurately
just accurately
play roblox golf and you'll be the GOAT at pulling and pushing your mouse in straight lines
my friend made me play but its lowk a good overhead trainer 💔
@small wing
what the heck it just goes black when i click the vids here
let me send compressed version
@small wing
once you get used to it you'll be splitting heads
thank u saar
bunch of pros here
im shit
flash step
prove it
is the quality going to be 3 fps

im not about to do all of that
@faint crater crossguard block/thrust, then overhead spam
u hate me
hold on its loading
bro why does my family put pizza in a plastic bag and not the box
it cannot be saving that much room
it looks like an mre
it does actually
those overheads are weird r u using alt or just not swinging all the way
just not swinging all the way
i do kendo so the men strike philosophy carries over
ohhh thats why u were showing me that
art student iq
thats pretty neat
im gonna do that rn in game
i have alot to learn i think
i swung a little bit too much ...
whats a kendo flick
oky
should i punch fast or slow
for beggar
does it do more damage to take your time or can you just wildly swing and get away with it
wanna know a better strat
yes
he's gonna tell you to kick i bet
he might be recording a good example
chat is this peak or nah
type shit
very
chills boi 🥶
I have never had the desire to learn the roundhouse or any fancy kick tbh
@small wing
too op
ur so cool for compressing them
oh yeah
do you have an iconic loadout
since you're apex polearm player 2
but how the fuck is ur leg going so high
the kick follows your camera
i have two
everytime i tried my leg just like curls into a ball
'spam clips' tf???
ok bro
why is bro asking
i guess you don't wanna be part of the
the what\
thats badass
the apex players of halfcord
hahaha
holy tis so tuff
i dont know everyone yet, who are they
the pre-early release top players pretty much
militus - greatsword demon
me - me
m00 - polearm god
ah ok the left is militus i thought so
john longsword - john longsword
Question: in the steam page, there are photos of the players in hall like rooms. is that coming with the full release or will it be added into the tech demo?
early release
no more updates in demo until release
im like poleaxe priest lol
i need to get john halfsword and goofy and fizzle
when is planned release date? if anyone knows
yeah john halfsword for sure
the next 3 months
the viltrumite guy
the pic will be him in the air somehow
i havent seen fizzles gameplay i dont think
do i need to try and make a niche for myself
@shell bronze how tuff is this loadout
is john halfsword the dude who posts the modded halfsword gameplay doing crazy shit
yes
that's him
i love that guy
the insane finishers and flying around and rapid spins
either be good enough and active/spam enough
or be active enough and have something iconic going for yourself
if you're active for more than a week in this discord you know m00, militus and me immediately
i havent been active in a wee bit 😭 sorry
i know u and militus
then john halfsword and john longsword come in secondary
i think thats funny cause i remmeber them more than m00
theres two of them????
you're not labeled second best for a reason by me
walk that walk
i think its probably a pfp or something that would make me remember
talk dat talk
i just spilled coconut shavings all over my self
L
what were you making witht hem
nothing im just eating them out of the bag
raw coconut shavings???
yes
me botch
everyone should do this
why does willy actually have a booty

i forget that exists
😢
gauntlet players when they have to go abyss for the 15th gorillionth time
you didnt stream to me thats as rude as scalping me
its scary i dont like it
too many scary willies
@shell bronze i assume you want the loadout file for the cool pics
i could give it a shot
is there a format i have to follow
aura farming time
how do you make a loadout
what about aura mining time
haha im so excited to see your guys' pics
can i be naked willy
2 mods needed
that would be aura
half sword enhancer to spawn items and save loadouts
ovrdth loadout selector to actually catalog said loadouts into a registry to pick from
