[drowsy flint]

i mean youre bitching a lot for putting hours into an admittedly buggy free demo

who does free demos these days? the answer is basically nobody

[wild ledge]

it's a free demo made in less than a year by like four guys

[languid osprey]

water park simulator

[wild ledge]

this is like watching an early draft edit of a hollywood movie where they havent added the CGI or music yet and calling it dogshit

when the movie isn't supposed to release for 2 more years

[drowsy flint]

3d water based RCT

[soft osprey]

Yeah some bugs are to be expected in a pre alpha build unfortunately. Though I wouldn’t complain about bug fixes, I can also acknowledge theres no point. The demo will be replaced with a more up to date version after early access and id rather them focus their efforts on early access release

[languid osprey]

true

[languid osprey]

still fun for me (I played the demo for about like 10 days before switching to full

[small wing]

why didnt it

i meant to reply to this

[faint crater]

guys

dagger throwing is so hard

militus was so right

[azure mirage]

oh my god

[azure mirage]

really?

you'll get used to it

[faint crater]

I feel like if I do hit them its in the legs

do you have any clips danya i'd love to learn how to do it better

[azure mirage]

i don't clip my footage

that's for lewsers

just aim to the side

if anything

[faint crater]

:,(

I clip my footage so I can learn from my mistakes the most effectively

And so I can show someone how to do something

so you're saying that doing a horizontal throw is the most effective?

[azure mirage]

depends what you're throwing

if it's axe from t2 then fuck yeah

if it's t3 forth

i usually throw it from high

looking down mostly

[faint crater]

T1 daggers

[dire moon]

They're saying u r a loser

[azure mirage]

the knives?

[faint crater]

yeah

its called dagger in enhancer

[azure mirage]

you can throw them like this usually

[azure mirage]

it's a knife

[faint crater]

Yeah, I was just calling it a dagger because that's what is it labeled as in enhancer so there wouldn't be confusion

[azure mirage]

naur

[dire moon]

What is the halberd looking pole weapon

[shell bronze]

poleaxe

[dire moon]

No

[covert finch]

Can you play this game yet

[shell bronze]

half sword demo steam

[dire moon]

Most similar would be the bill hook

@shell bronze it is not a bill hook, and to me looks more like a halberd maybe.

[shell bronze]

voulge?

[dire moon]

Yes

[dire moon]

This

Thank u.
Anyone using the voulge find when you hit a direct headshot, 6/10 times I do not cut the head in half but instead nearly in half with a small piece still attached to hold it together

[dire moon]

Essentially if I make contact on the left side of the face, the right ear would be in tact with a gash thru the other side all the way out

[opaque creek]

does this happen to anyone else

[dire moon]

Yes try switching hands

[opaque creek]

Invisible objects in arena which trip my legs about

[dire moon]

Oh ya that happens to me too. Quit to menu then go back in

It's like the bodies aren't despawned

[opaque creek]

That could be it

[dire moon]

Happens to me a lot but haven't figured out the cause yet tbh. I just quit out and it resolves it.
At first I thought the game made u slip in blood and I was stoked but then it happened away from the blood too

[opaque creek]

Very anti footwork glitch

With shirted beggar willie

[azure mirage]

e

[azure mirage]

restarting usually fixes it

no

i don't wish it, because it won't happen

correct, good for me

[shell bronze]

youre not the first one today to yearn for that outdated copy

[azure mirage]

yeah a lot of people want the old stuff back

that one other guy was going crazy

"this game fell off" or whatever

[opaque creek]

I hated that

And all of the stupid falling over and taking 15 seconds to get up

[azure mirage]

nice shit twin

[opaque creek]

they did shoot grappling to death in half sword

[azure mirage]

have you ever tried to fight the baron w/ ur normal loadout

[shell bronze]

cant use loadout selector in gauntlet

[azure mirage]

really?

just spawn the baron in then

[shell bronze]

also not taking anything short of a greatsword or a polearm/polearm equivalent against polearm

[azure mirage]

🙄

scared of victory

[opaque creek]

Parrying Baron probably = being crushed

[azure mirage]

yeah baron doesn't play sometimes

[opaque creek]

Both arms shattered at least

[azure mirage]

if he's hitting then he's hitting

[shell bronze]

scared of impossible/unnecessarily difficult challenges

[azure mirage]

🙄

[timid mural]

How does one delete photos from camera mode?

Cause everytime I take one it lags bad

Or if i open the gallery

[opaque creek]

Its in a folder somewhere

[timid mural]

Folder name?

[opaque creek]

halfsword steam folder

[timid mural]

Ight

Thanks sir

[opaque creek]

I should have recorded this but I just kicked willie's hand and he died

with his damage slider relatively low

[timid mural]

??

Skill issue

Willie is a cry baby

[opaque creek]

I recorded the first part but forgot to show damage sliders and it was too late by the time i stopped

[timid mural]

Caring about damage sliders is stupid, just have fun with it

Its there for a reason

[languid nest]

disagree. hard disagree.

[opaque creek]

thats not the point

[timid mural]

Shush

[opaque creek]

IT wouldn't be all that impressive with high damage sliders would it

[jolly gorge]

I learned I've been referring to the generic poleaxe as a halberd for over a decade

[opaque creek]

not only impressive, possible even

[timid mural]

Still impressive to me

[inland ore]

TIL that willies wielding hoes can chop off legs in one fell swoop

[jolly gorge]

Speaking of hoes, what's y'alls favorite Peasant weapon?

I've been sticking to the double handed axe because I'm iffy with the pitchfork and hoe

[hazy blaze]

I think the pitchfork is unreliable

[near garnet]

it used to be moated

dude

i can’t fucking spell

“Moated”

🫩

[hazy blaze]

the unaccurate stabbing mechanics are unreliable making stabbing based weapons unreliable

[near garnet]

The shape goes into the shape press and is pressed into a pressed shape

[hazy blaze]

like I've been practicing with the sword just because it's reliable and precise, unlike long weapons like the spear or others, that should be meant to be precise

[hazy blaze]

shape shape shape

https://tenor.com/view/we-mute-block-report-mute-block-report-mute-block-report-gif-3588991756649267881

[azure mirage]

@shell bronze have you got any clips where u just cut heads clean off

[languid nest]

im not lie ❤️

[faint crater]

it's so hard to cut off heads when you use the most thin swords

[shell bronze]

exceptionally rare actually

[azure mirage]

cut off heads with pitchfork twin

[azure mirage]

really?

[languid nest]

egg wuh

[languid nest]

i do this

[shell bronze]

they only fall off after the guy drops on the ground or if additional pressure

is added

[azure mirage]

i see

[shell bronze]

like if i kick the head then it flies off

but rarely do i ever get full decaps

[azure mirage]

I only get decaps with the t5 gutter

[azure mirage]

lie

you're always lying

[languid nest]

you gotta grapple and half sword

push it into their neck and it just falls off

[azure mirage]

half sword from behind and just

go left right left right

[faint crater]

wiggle

[azure mirage]

going backwards

yeah wiggle basically

[languid nest]

wiggle wiggle wiggle

[azure mirage]

also known as "why aren't you dying I'm sewing your head off"

[languid nest]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-monster-gif-10420779

[faint crater]

thats the only time I can actually cut fully through torso/head

when I halfsword around and wiggle

[azure mirage]

yeah lol

[languid nest]

when i decap its usually pushing towards them instead of sawing or pulling

[faint crater]

I also only really play the t3 skinny sword sooo

[languid nest]

like i push the blade into their neck or mouth and it just slices clean through

[faint crater]

shmoove off

[languid nest]

shmoove

[faint crater]

I still can't dagger throw yet

I thought i'd be able to learn it in an hr and i spent an hr

I can hit the enemy 50% of the time but usually it's their feet or the handguard of their sword I hit

the only time I can get the headshots is when they are very close

[shell bronze]

@azure mirage big things are happening

@sand herald where that loadout at son

[azure mirage]

huh?

i was scrolling in my pinterest what did I miss

why does that sound concerning

[shell bronze]

haven't put a filter on john longsword yet

not that he really needs one

[shell bronze]

@sleek gull you're in

[azure mirage]

oh shit

big big things r happening

[faint crater]

this is looking so sweet clueless

[near garnet]

the halfsword SIX seven…

hehehehehehehehehehe

[faint crater]

yeah i'm done

[azure mirage]

looks really really really good so far twin!!!

biggest thumbs up ever

[shell bronze]

poke

[azure mirage]

really nice hit

[silent stag]

Does anyone else think half sword characters are TOO fragile?

[shell bronze]

start spamming clips and make it the half sword eight

[shell bronze]

gore and dmg down

[silent stag]

Why do they have no ribs!!

[silent stag]

Even then they have no ribs

[shell bronze]

imo it's because bones don't exist against cutting weapons

[silent stag]

They die from wimpy slashes to the chest

[silent stag]

They do

Whole purpose of the ribcage and skull are protecting your organs

[azure mirage]

i could

I'll have to download steelseries again

and get my old loadout so it's a bit more better

I'll do it tmrw twin ... im too tired today

[azure mirage]

I'll send 20 pitchfork clips

[dawn vessel]

How can I get the game I only got the demo but I wanna get the real game

[azure mirage]

paid early access will come out in Q4 2025 (Last 3 months of the year) unless it gets delayed. No official date known

Only demo is currently available

[dawn vessel]

There’s no possible way I can get it?

[azure mirage]

No. you have to wait for early access to release

[dawn vessel]

Do you know when that is

[shell bronze]

i'm saying in this game

[azure mirage]

Q4 2025 (Last 3 months of the year) unless it gets delayed. No official date known

[shell bronze]

W pfp

travis in his prime

[dawn vessel]

Oh ok

Frr

[azure mirage]

should i sleep

I want to wake up early tomorrow but at the same time I want to stay up late

what do you say @shell bronze

I haven't decided which is which so I have to flip it ahain

[languid nest]

really impressive though

[opaque creek]

people just dont understand the willie shell defense

they think it's a glitch

[shell bronze]

dead space mob ass playstyle

[opaque creek]

this is wat my style degrades to at 3 AM

[languid nest]

the willie shell

incredible

[sand herald]

i'll make one later on today 🫡

[static gate]

i see people playing this all the time is it really only demo or is there anyway for me to play multiplayer with my friend?

@here

[timber pilot]

demo

we are sweats in a game that hasn't even reached early access yet

[static gate]

So no multiplayer then?

Cuz I feel like I’ve definitely seen people play multiplayer

[outer dirge]

Yeah definitely fucking nah

Jk ily

But no

Oh he left 😭😭

[opaque creek]

No freaky Willie action for them

[hoary canopy]

does anyone actually use arrow time

i always forget it exists

[fierce solar]

Absolutely - I cant run this game in high+ without it

Also really helps with getting the right frame for screenshots

[restive barn]

john half sword

if i make a gun

do u want it

[limber imp]

why is it impossible to topple over the training dummy

even with mods its impossible

[limber imp]

i use the hs enhancer slow motion because i like fighting without draining all my stamina

and its better for screenshots

[lusty jolt]

Or to take the hat off

[limber imp]

i put my sword under the helmet and i pushed with all my might but it dosent go

[lusty jolt]

yeah it's not possible

[limber imp]

they did this on purpose

i dont have embed perms

[lusty jolt]

Also what is with the 2 handed axe on Man at Arms

istg I've died to it in the stupidest ways like 20 times

it'll tickle my armour and suddenly finds a gap

[limber imp]

sword combat is insane bro

unarmored

i just cut 3 guys in half

[muted dew]

They covered the whetstone with holy water during sharpening

[limber imp]

what did you do

[restive barn]

i shot him

[limber imp]

this is an experimental mod or what?

i lowk need that

[restive barn]

for the gun weapon its a personal mod thats coming out soon

the projectile is half sword trainer

[limber imp]

what projectile do you use

and how do you fire it

[restive barn]

dagger

middle mouse button

i edited the force to be 1000#

the preferred scale is 0.2-0.4

[limber imp]

so its not actually a gun its just a handle and flying daggers

😂

where do you configure the projectile

[restive barn]

config.txt

the gun by itself does nothing

[limber imp]

im so lost theres a config?

i remember in the old trainer you already had it binded and you can easily do it

[lusty jolt]

I've never played a game that's caused me to bash my finger into the side of my PC so much

[limber imp]

where is config

[restive barn]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half Sword Demo\HalfSwordUE5\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods\HalfSwordTrainerMod

[limber imp]

thanks

yet again at a standstill. i dont have "ue4ss"

[restive barn]

go to the trainer downloader, click advanced, then download ue4ss

[steep barn]

getting so many fatal errors while doing king mode

anyone have a fix?

[lethal ingot]

Turn off the gore.

[idle crane]

Turn blood to zero in the settings

[steep barn]

damn that sucks

best part of this game

[idle crane]

They are working on a fix but they have to design an entire new system because the one they were using isnt working for what they are doing. It will be fixed in early access

[lethal ingot]

Thankfully early access should be fairly soon. Within the next few months.

[hoary canopy]

is there a way to play it without going through the whole gauntlet again

its more fun than the abyss to me

[lethal ingot]

There's a checkpoint mod.

[hoary canopy]

ah

[idle crane]

In the bottom right press free mode

[hoary canopy]

not barons challenge

I assume that's what they meant when they said king mode

[idle crane]

ah my bad

[abstract locust]

John Halfsword

[silent verge]

I've been accused of playing this game in VR, I'm posting the footage to #game-footage-🎮🎥 rn, I don't think it looks like VR its not clean enough swordplay for VR imo

Does it look like VR? still uploading a sec its 6 clips

[lethal ingot]

Looks pretty normal to me.

[soft yoke]

js threw my sword, guess i rlly am the throat demon

[silent verge]

I thought so too

love the classic sprint and poke

never gets old

Halfsword is UE5 right? could it technically be made into a VR game with mod support? id love to play it in VR

[soft yoke]

just hit where the buckler don't cover

WILLIE I'M SO SORRY

[warm void]

IS THAT A GUN?

[restive barn]

yes

[warm void]

[restive barn]

it doesnt work on its own it needs hs trainer to shoot projectiles

[warm void]

Oh.

that makes sense.

[small wing]

[glass kestrel]

kinda be missing the old demo ngl

[young saffron]

please don't do what that guy from yesterday did

[young saffron]

some guy yesterday said he misses the old demo, insulted everyone then got banned lmao

[glass kestrel]

broski

dw

ive been in this server for a long time lmao

i am not just randomly insulting people lol

[young saffron]

scythe was so OP in the demo

[glass kestrel]

yep

[glass kestrel]

but rn scythe kinda mid ngl

only good when the boss uses it

[young saffron]

fr

[idle crane]

The scythe in the 0.3 demo was balanced because even tho it was awesome it also had a habit of randomly disappearing

[young saffron]

true dat

that was half of the reason I never really got around to finishing 0.3

the other half was sword

wait...

I have a phantom fence

haha get it because half sword is a fencing game... haha... guys...?

[languid nest]

the bitch slap to the arm is what did him in. that stab to the neck was nothin.

[restive barn]

i won with both of my arms + my neck being broken (high damage combat no pain)

[young saffron]

holy shit I'm stealing those settings

[north dawn]

guy stepped on the handle of my dagger and fucking died

[restive barn]

no pain, enemy no pain, inf consciousness, enemy inf consciousness, damage multiplier 10

then possess willie and disable and reenable damage multi

anime ass fights

[mental kelp]

slow af parry probs need to increase sens or smn

[restive barn]

for me the easiest strategy to win with broken arms is to spin and when they get close punch

i destroyed all 3 of his upper body bones w 2 punches

[north dawn]

how do you disable pain?

[restive barn]

hs enhancer

mod

[north dawn]

I really wish the devs wouldve just included those sliders into the settings

[restive barn]

whenever a person doesnt give up after their arms are broken i call it the "spirit of persistance"

[north dawn]

the thing that pisses me off the most about the "difficulty" sliders, is that even on least damage to NPC, if the enemy cant get up they dont wait for you to kill them, they just forfeit and stop trying to get up. even if theyre like 90% of the way standing

bro already played the whole game apparently

[small dove]

yes

[dark folio]

How do you know that when the game just released? Have you already beaten it?

[small dove]

where can you even get ghost of yotei

[shell bronze]

people without a ps5:

[small dove]

i have a ps5

and ps4

and ps3, ps2, and ps1

[shell bronze]

then it's on the ps store

[dark folio]

Its on the playstation store i think

[shell bronze]

i'm buying the disc from gamestop tonight

on some real shyt

[small dove]

i got like no money

my bank is broke

only got like 400 left

I just sold my ps5 so ill probably just watch gameplay videos untill it comes to pc

me too but yolo

broke boy nation

im broke in bank, but not in skills (this was 100% luck)

the combat in yotei looks vicious and smooth af compared to tsushima and that was already good

[small dove]

vore??

[shell bronze]

i like the overhauled parrying system where you have to parry multiple times to get an opening like in sekiro

[small dove]

what npc dmg are you on

[shell bronze]

50%

i play 50/50

sometimes 75/50 for the challenge

[small dove]

so high

[shell bronze]

or 50/25 in commoner

[shell bronze]

i don't have armor i think its perfectly reasonable

• its default settings

[small dove]

when they add projectiles to the game, they should do so that if a projectile hits another projectile the game just crashes

[shell bronze]

the two crossbow users:

[small dove]

dont search up projectile in gifs

[soft osprey]

I think they should make it so every third swing of your weapon crashes the game but you don’t lose your progress. You just have to relaunch constantly

[shell bronze]

i don't think i will, thanks

[signal wedge]

I like the dichotomy between Robin and highly trained samurai, jin is trained and relies on different stances and combat styles while the new protagonist relies on different weapons

[restive garnet]

But no EA release if all the devs are gone and eaten

[signal wedge]

If really shows that one is using their training while another is using what's avaliable

[shell bronze]

she also uses tactics that are WAY more underhanded and relies less on strength

[soft osprey]

Fuck that first one is beautiful

[sleek gull]

It was my late stepfather's. It doesn't leave its case

[signal wedge]

plz don't cuss

[soft osprey]

Im ordering you to cuss

As your superior

[signal wedge]

what is it opposite day

[tranquil ginkgo]

That blazer custom needs to play some grunge songs hahaha ❤️

[sleek gull]

And it does it soooo well too! I've had it for 30 years now, and I think my dad owned it for around 15 years before me. He gave it to me as my first guitar

The three way switch does some interesting things. I can get this almost mono sound out of it from middle position. Like all the bass and mids drop out. Makes for really moody moments mid song.

It really needs a rewiring and new guard, as you can see the input took a hit and it is patched in as a fix lol. As a first guitar, I beat the hell out of it

[tranquil ginkgo]

i love the aestethics hahahah i feel that has some good pwer hiding it

[sleek gull]

I see a left handed Strat, a right handed strat, a Gibson SG, and in the far back some sort of semi-hollow body. Not sure what that one is.

Am I close?

Oh no! The second in line is a P-Bass!

[shell bronze]

max

[sleek gull]

I had a red and white P-Bass that I got for $90. My previous bass died, and I needed something to play a show and found it at a shop. It was so nice!

[tranquil ginkgo]

Yesss, the second one is a bass

[sleek gull]

A leonard? Never heard of that. Looks ultimately like a Fender P Bass though, which is awesome

[tranquil ginkgo]

Yeah some cheap bass hahahah

[sleek gull]

What is the one on the far left? Looks like a Gibson SG. But i'm not 100% sure now that I see it in full

[tranquil ginkgo]

Is an Epiphone!

[sleek gull]

Ah! Close enough lol

[tranquil ginkgo]

Hahahh yess

[sleek gull]

I could have paid twice the price for a Gibson T-Bird, but the Epiphone was good enough for me lol

[tranquil ginkgo]

Is a nice guitar indeeed

[soft osprey]

Those are cool and all but..do you have THESE? 😎 (i very very rarely use these, turns out making cohesive songs is difficult)

[tranquil ginkgo]

ooo is like a live looper or somthing like that??

[sleek gull]

Sorta, I do have a mid controller.

@tranquil ginkgo Here is a taste of what the Ibanez sounds like

Please ignore the Parakeet screaming in the background lol

[soft osprey]

Yes, I was really into it at one point. But between learning drums, keeping up with guitar, and learning viola with my daughter, I just never had time to really sit and learn how to use these

[soft osprey]

Sounds sick!

[shell bronze]

this poster is almost done where dafuq is john halfsword's loadout

[tranquil ginkgo]

Very nice we, has ride the lightning sound vibee

[sleek gull]

Closest I get lol

[tranquil ginkgo]

Hahahah yess you bett, I would not enter on that rabbit hole hahahh

[soft osprey]

You ever see these two before? Theyre both absolutely fuckin insane on guitar. It reignited my love for guitar when I first saw Marcin and now im in love with neo soul and picked up fingerpicking again. desperately trying to learn it how to do it super quick with the percussion aspects too but damn it’s hard. Im okay with it but, long way to go.

[sleek gull]

I've seen the separately, but never together!

[sleek gull]

These tappers and slappers, all were inspired by Andy McKee from nearly 20 years ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddn4MGaS3N4

He kind of pioneered what the young players are driving today

[soft osprey]

Bro this slaps. I never heard of him, but you can obviously see the inspiration these guys got from him

[sleek gull]

As a disclaimer, i'm not saying he invented this style. But he was a big inspiration

[soft osprey]

Pun unintended

A Capo master

Not 100% if that is a spider capo or not, but playing above the capo is super sick

[shell onyx]

The demo at the end on the last rank says "prepare for the ultimate challenge".... but there isn't one?

like you get to 11/11 and then it just keeps throwing more matches at you

[tranquil ginkgo]

[leaden vector]

why your guys so good?

[tulip cape]

how is this done

[leaden vector]

HOW?

[round stone]

my guess

with two handed weapons

pressing q to liberate the left arm

then thrust

[lapis marsh]

Practice

Lots of practice

[dark folio]

Practice and time

[soft osprey]

As soon as the last person asks

[brittle bridge]

this is the most outrageous thing ive seen on this game, if someone did that to me, i think id just delete the game

[shell bronze]

you haven't seen m00's clips

i'm a mid azz polearm player

[noble agate]

guys how do i make my willy butt naked with half sword enhancer mod

[brittle bridge]

my bad was fixing my keyboard lmao

[devout saffron]

Soon..

[brittle bridge]

i dont wanna see them then

[shell bronze]

he's part of the half sword seven for a reason

[sand herald]

lmao sure

[royal crane]

Hi!

[sand herald]

@shell bronze sent you the loadout if you haven’t seen it yet

[shell bronze]

oh shoot

[shell bronze]

when i get back home you will be added

the half sword seven will then be completed

[vital perch]

a few days later i realize this is @sleek gull 's outfit 😭

[sleek gull]

LOL Its close.

I have a gambison, rather than a shirt, and one tan leg, and one dark grey leg

[mental kelp]

Seven is crazy

[shell bronze]

thas right

[vital perch]

😔

[mental kelp]

By EA it’ll be the HS thirty, by Full release it’ll be one hundred companions

[shell bronze]

if they got the yotei six we have the seven here

[green yew]

why does willie not have hair

does he have cancer

[vital perch]

all of them do , they actually fight for the cure

[green yew]

thats deep😢

[vital perch]

half sword lore is hard

[green yew]

did this really happen😢

[shell bronze]

these are people who have mastered half sword in its current form before early access

in different ways

[green yew]

i killed men with cancer

[sleek gull]

Duel to the death to defeat cancer!

[vital perch]

winner gets to live longer than the loser!

[green yew]

winner still has cancer + aids because of all the blood

[shell bronze]

in EA the lineup will look very different and the top players will look pretty different (unless our current lineup just learns the system again and continues to dog on ai like it's nothing)

[mental kelp]

This will not help the masses in believing I have ever worn an all black fit 🥀

But it does look tuff

[vital perch]

i'm honestly envious of some people's skill here

[shell bronze]

we need a mace/axe player

the HS7 only has swords and polearms

[sleek gull]

I do Dagger Axe. But I haven't done Mace Axe

[green yew]

all black fit would be so tuff

[shell bronze]

specifically longswords and poleaxes

HS7 is a tough ass acronym

[vital perch]

i could try to use a bearded axe or a two handed mace

[mental kelp]

I have done some cool things with mace and buckler

[sleek gull]

I really like the small hatchet

[shell bronze]

you're more known for specializing in longsword

[vital perch]

i like the bearded two handed axe because it deals sharp and blunt damage at once

[mental kelp]

I only mean to say that it is possible to be cool with the mace

[vital perch]

if you hit right that is

[mental kelp]

Someone could

[shell bronze]

our first apex mace player

who will it be

[vital perch]

i could try out the mace

[mental kelp]

I’ll make an alt and be on the list twice

[vital perch]

if i'll suck i'll go back to greatswords and longswords

[sleek gull]

Not sure what the real name of it is. I call this a hatchet. But it is so sick

[shell bronze]

by all means

[rare turtle]

How can I redownload an older version of the game?

[shell bronze]

you don't

[vital perch]

that's the neat part

[shell bronze]

go for it

[rare turtle]

I'm looking to play the older version again

[vital perch]

now do i start using the mace or do i go to sleep hmm decisions decisions

[sand cosmos]

At reddit a very interesting post appeared

[vital perch]

do tell

[sand cosmos]

What if I told you.

Soon?

Very soon

[shell bronze]

if you wish to establish your niche and status as one of our premiere mace players then by all means

[sand cosmos]

That's the post

[vital perch]

i mean recognition sounds neat

[shell bronze]

you can always do it tomorrow

[vital perch]

ight lemme see if i can get a clip or two

[sand cosmos]

Update soon confirmed?!?!?

[vital perch]

and then i'm off to sleep

[mental kelp]

I think even using the mace at all sets you at top

[shell bronze]

i didn't deem the hs7 guys worthy of being there overnight

it was a good half year of observing and being active in the community

[rare turtle]

Does anyone still have the previous demo version?

[vital perch]

@shell bronze quick question , what tier do you want me to play

[shell bronze]

the tier you can dominate

[pearl ferry]

dude

i fucking love mace

[shell bronze]

for me every tier can catch these hands

[vital perch]

knight ist is then

[shell bronze]

commoner vs the world

[shell bronze]

i've only ever seen you play sword

[soft osprey]

Haha I literally just saw that too

Very interesting

[sand cosmos]

JCBP may thy update be upon us

[pearl ferry]

two handed mace is probably my second favorite weapon

[vital perch]

@shell bronze how's this for a mace kill

[signal wedge]

[restive garnet]

Halaluya

[soft osprey]

Yes! Look at mod chat!

[shell bronze]

[signal wedge]

[shell bronze]

[signal wedge]

I think you're evil

[shell bronze]

[soft osprey]

You didn’t respond to my message, im pretty offended

[sand cosmos]

Does willie have a willie

[vital perch]

[atomic stump]

oh in seriousness I got the naked willie bug, made a loadout and saved it for shits and giggles

[atomic stump]

[atomic stump]

[faint crater]

still though that clip is wild

[sleek gull]

Cinema

[vital perch]

@shell bronze how's this for a mace clip

[atomic stump]

You should go full naked in knight tier

[sand cosmos]

Do you think after the update that willie has hit the gym and can finally use the weapon from the Baron

[tender quest]

i would go less armour if i could keep my sword

[shell bronze]

[shell bronze]

don't insult our rising mace superstar

[atomic stump]

but its a mace

[shell bronze]

its a new niche no one has claimed yet

[vital perch]

maces are powerful if you know how to use them , especially in later tiers

[shell bronze]

an empty throne for the king of mace users

[atomic stump]

fair point

[shell bronze]

did you see the hs7 poster yet @atomic stump

[atomic stump]

i have not

[shell bronze]

you say you are the son of 4 legends right

3 of them are on here

we're missing one because i'm not home yet to put him in

[sleek gull]

I'm a frankenstein monster lol.

[shell bronze]

[mental kelp]

Ain’t nobody like half armor

[lapis marsh]

partial armor

Armet

[vital perch]

@shell bronze thoughts?

[atomic stump]

this was my first spawn sword and its almost the same, same handle(hilt?????) and blade but different pommel and guard

[lapis marsh]

big ass fuckin guard bro

[tender quest]

https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/90

[shell bronze]

looks good

[vital perch]

it looks like it does more blunt damage than sharp damage

[sleek gull]

That guard is the length of my long sword!

[shell bronze]

mihawk looking ass sword

[atomic stump]

nice

[vital perch]

i'm off to sleep , lmk if i'm in as the mace user

[shell bronze]

you got a little too much dip on your chip

[lapis marsh]

nah bruh kylo ren type shit

[shell bronze]

it's only been one hour with a few clips posted

[lapis marsh]

you could impale someone with those guarsd

[shell bronze]

mordschlag with that bullshit 😂

[vital perch]

still good clips

i'll make some more tmrw

[lapis marsh]

you missed a hit thats cringe >:3

[mental kelp]

The mace user must have at least this much aura

[shell bronze]

i thought he'd fall more than he did

[lapis marsh]

mace users have negative aura bro

[shell bronze]

overcompensated the headshot

[vital perch]

nboted

[lapis marsh]

CRAZY way to die bro

beheaded by a naked man

[mental kelp]

Only bad users

[shell bronze]

souls build

[atomic stump]

I didnt behead him. i only made sure that my guard ripped his arteries

[lapis marsh]

let me solo her type shit\

[swift aspen]

Goddamn that looked soo good

[lapis marsh]

lol im tryin to work out if lower sensitivity will help me aim my strikes but it just makes everything feel sluggish 😭

[shell bronze]

polearm accuracy is super easy doe

[swift aspen]

First person view helps me with more correct hits

[mental kelp]

And we gave this guy a spot 🙄

[lapis marsh]

greer

[lapis marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-sad-pyro-transition-gif-5781624994166801969

[shell bronze]

maybe we should put your polearm persona on there instead

[lapis marsh]

its a genuine question dickheads

[shell bronze]

sens doesnt help accuracy with polearms as much as you think

[tender quest]

well in that case, no i dont think it helps imo

[shell bronze]

swing direction/initial weapon placement much more important

sword is the one that requires more fine control

[lapis marsh]

oh great i can keep my sensitivity up :3

[lapis marsh]

idk it just seems difficult to finely control the angle i swing at

is there a specific strat to it or is it just something i need to get a feel for

[shell bronze]

you get a little 90 degree window to swing from

[atomic stump]

This mustve been fucking terrifying, a full naked man, disarming you, picking up your sword, then walking towards you, both swords in hand

my god

[sleek gull]

When I started out, I moved my sens down to like 10-15%. It worked well for learning movements. But as I got better and better at controlling the sword, I incrementally moved up. Now I sit at 75%.

I went back to 15% recently to see what it is like, and yeah, sluggish is putting it nicely lol

[shell bronze]

from a full sideswipe to a full vertical

[swift aspen]

I wish i had as much skill to that instead of of just caving their skulls in

[shell bronze]

caving their skulls in is the optimal strategy dont get it twisted

[swift aspen]

I know i just want it to be more fancy

[shell bronze]

do some twirls

immediate fancy

[lapis marsh]

i might give this a try then

gonna suck major ass BUT it might help

thanks

[shell bronze]

otherwise just do this to win armored combat @swift aspen

[atomic stump]

There is something about decapiting in first person that is just so satsifying

[swift aspen]

Well that's what i do except without that step back

I keep swinging till i see a lot of red

[shell bronze]

a good rule of thumb is if you can just end a fight against a one handed weapon user in 5-10 seconds with no damage and no difficulty

[shell bronze]

distance management is important to ensure the fun bit of your polearm actually hits

[lapis marsh]

i can do that currently, its just inconsistent lol

[shell bronze]

then you cant

[swift aspen]

Tbf when you get more and more armor i start taking shield and mace more and more instead of polearms
