[verbal crane]

yea this is pretty much what i was doing to get his arms

[oak drum]

"I have come here, for our duel at sunset! Pulls out a fucking glock17 Shall we start now, or later?"

[half gyro]

I wish I could use cinamatic graphics
however my PC tends to blow up if I attempt it

[amber notch]

Does anybody else just randomly crouch as soon as you spawn in?

It just forces me to drop to my knees and I can’t stand up

It happens every few matches

[tough hollow]

Yer

[amber notch]

This bug has gotten me killed eight times

[pine maple]

what is the best way to stop the fatal error crash?

[half gyro]

also epic clutch

[half gyro]

I havenae a clue

it just happens

[pine maple]

rip

[past mirage]

I was not aware that Willies had to breath oxygen

I was just suffocated to unconsiousness by a guy with a polearm

[brave basalt]

HSFR tools

[amber notch]

That happened to me ten minutes ago

[past mirage]

holy hell

[amber notch]

I thought he broke my neck at first

[brave basalt]

How

[amber notch]

He puts you in a headlock and chokes you out with it

[brave basalt]

In all my hours I haven’t seen that

This games crazy

[amber notch]

Either you need O2 or it’s a weird looking neck snap

[past mirage]

I was tryna stab a dude who had a long spear, he got the spear around me and held close, then I just went black screen slowly

No breaking sound

it was gradual

[amber notch]

I also got split in two by a hoe a wee bit ago

[brave basalt]

I had a Willie break my back by putting the wooden part of the spear around it, usually I let go of my weapon and do a weird spin to get out but it ended up breaking my back in half and folding me somehow

[amber notch]

This game is great

[brave basalt]

Death or unconscious

[amber notch]

If only I could run it well

[brave basalt]

The optimization is the worst I’ve ever seen

[past mirage]

unconscious screen

[brave basalt]

I love tapping Willie’s necks with blunts and watching them suffocate

[past mirage]

omg, it just happened to me again

You know in ultimate challenge a Willies gear just pops off when the die right?

[brittle bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/you-can-do-that-gif-25212218

[past mirage]

Well if you stand to close to a willie with a helmet when the die, the helmet can pop off and give you a concussion

I have lost twice because of that

[half gyro]

I was wondering why my Willie was limping

his foot got destroyed

[brave basalt]

Like this?

[brave basalt]

He’s fine

[past mirage]

na, there was not hard contact like that. but the screen was the same

oh

never mind, but kinda

[little burrow]

ayo ?

[half gyro]

don't be a phedo please

[tender quest]

how tf did you manage to make that connection?

[half gyro]

him going AYO ?

WHAT ELSE WOULD IT BE

how would you know that's a child

you're*

[tender quest]

do the mental gymnastics then, you're the one making baseless accusations here

[half gyro]

mental gumnastics?

[tender quest]

im not luffy i didnt say gumnastics

[half gyro]

gymnastics* sorry

[keen dock]

that's podophilia

[half gyro]

well you get the idea

[tender quest]

not the place to be discussing this at all

[lean niche]

what the actual fuck?
why is this the first conversation I see when I open the discord?

[half gyro]

no not really

[tender quest]

now if you have an issue with another user then kindly use the #modmail dont go throwing around accusations again

[brittle bridge]

and why did he get that from AYO?

[tender quest]

thats my question

[brittle bridge]

im still not sure if i read all that correctly it makes so little sense

[half gyro]

that's what happens when someone coments "ayo ?" when I show how injured my willies feet were

[brittle bridge]

im even more confused now

[soft osprey]

So this is your fault

[half gyro]

wheasht

the conversation is over

[soft osprey]

That was a joke

[tender quest]

plus saying phedo to get around the automod

[soft osprey]

Sorry

[keen dock]

no. the other person was acting like a podophile

[soft osprey]

Wait

This shit is

Okay

[brittle bridge]

ohhhhhhh

[soft osprey]

Idk if this is trolling or what but

[brittle bridge]

holyshit that took me a second

[soft osprey]

Shut up

[brave basalt]

Willie is a child, every new Willie that we control comes out of a cloning machine

[brittle bridge]

knowing that ive been killing children for 85 hours does put a smile on my face

That shit was funny as fuck

[tender quest]

lol

[signal wedge]

I wanted to screenshot it and post it saying "nah this is more accurate"

[rose thunder]

Full game I hope is multiplayer

[tender quest]

there it is

[rose thunder]

would be sooo legendary

[signal wedge]

From what I understand EA will come with Local Splitscreen

I could be wrong tho

[rose thunder]

not bro people are sweats

[soft osprey]

Youre not wrong

You amateur

[signal wedge]

yay

[tender quest]

Moai was typing for so long and then nothing, i thought he got bored of himself

[signal wedge]

aw

[soft osprey]

I lost my confidence

And deleted it

Then I came back

[signal wedge]

Been there done that

[soft osprey]

No

You can’t

Whatever Youre about to ask

[signal wedge]

ok

[soft osprey]

I think my statement still stands

[obtuse flame]

sorry this is offtopic does anyone know who made the art for all the rankings? I love the art style and always want to see more of it bt feel there just isn't enough.

[tender quest]

who would win? Militus or Militus?

[soft osprey]

#credits Thats all I can tell you

[signal wedge]

I think Militus, maybe

[obtuse flame]

perfect, thanks!

[tender quest]

https://tenor.com/view/false-wrong-fake-incorrect-untrue-gif-23252753

I WOULD WIN

[soft osprey]

I could beat you up

[signal wedge]

Miditus wasn't an option

😏

[tender quest]

knew that was coming

[soft osprey]

😡

[obtuse flame]

would you guys know if the dev team takes fan submissions or something? art, premises, ideas, etc.? nothing crazy just curious.

[tender quest]

moai cant even get past the training dummy to get into a fight

[obtuse flame]

i cant even get past commoner tbh.

boss fight hard asf

i do, but i get poked, or my entire back gets peeled off with a swipe

[signal wedge]

did bro get kicked in the nether region

[pale saffron]

and by that i mean the game!

[obtuse flame]

dude if this is just the demo, the full release boutta take over everything

[pale saffron]

no way that got deleted

[tender quest]

its why no new mods have been chosen by trial of combat 😔

wanna see it disappear?

[pale saffron]

😂

[soft osprey]

#rules

[tender quest]

oh look someone gave him a whole hour to read the rules, how kind of that person

[obtuse flame]

they should hit up alfalfa_tattoo on instagram for some more art. his style would be perfect for this game

there's never enough medieval art

man get your panties out of a twist its on topic to the game and discord server

[tender quest]

https://tenor.com/view/elbow-sending-a-virtual-elbow-tap-elbow-tap-gif-17099354

[obtuse flame]

relax

[signal wedge]

This is meant to be wholesome but just looks like it would hurt

I hate hitting my elbow

[tender quest]

because you dont train them hard enough

[signal wedge]

huh

[tender quest]

elbow drop cinderblocks

[signal wedge]

I would die i think

[obtuse flame]

your elbow muscles should have muscles on their muscles

strongest elbows for combat are essential

[tender quest]

its the same concept as training for shin strength

raking a metal bar up them

[signal wedge]

who needs any of that when you own a glock

my condolences:(

#photography📷 message @thorny whale worst suntan ever, i take it?

[thorny whale]

yep

[deep shale]

I SWEAR MAN

I think the bosses in this game are coded to be like stronger or ome shit

like they got higher pain tolerance or some shi

this took tremendous effort (from the both of us)

[brittle bridge]

i think the fact that hes like 7 foot doesnt help with that

[deep shale]

the tip of the blade was in his neck and he was still quite aggressive lmao

[shell bronze]

the revered commoner boss with his greatsword vs my pitchfork

[brittle bridge]

I guess yeah with the pitchfork it does sound easier

[shell bronze]

i usually don't use pitchfork anyways

my honest reaction to commoner boss

[deep shale]

thats the right thing to do
stepping in after a missed swing

[brittle bridge]

I should try doing that gamemode one day lol

I dont want to have a stroke yet tho

[deep shale]

if anyone asks me to, id pop into voice and stream my gauntlet run (unlikely to succeed)

[naive iron]

When gore?

https://tenor.com/view/half-sword-half-sword-playtest-no-gore-no-blood-where-gore-gif-8174527543298300447

[rotund blade]

Why gore

[shell bronze]

it's the half sword meta

everybody got a plan until sharp thing pokes them

[deep shale]

😱

[deep shale]

are you doing this in gauntlet runs or free mode?

[shell bronze]

gauntlet

[tiny star]

is there anyway to replay the gauntlet once i finished it?

[shell bronze]

winning ultimate challenge resets it

or check pinned

[tiny star]

Mine got low blood pressure

[azure mirage]

[brave basalt]

Meeeee

I wonder what gore on release / EA is gonna be like, would be nice to see some guts spilling out of Willie onto the ground

Or having him choke on his own blood

[restive garnet]

We discussed the gore and blood on the moo stream 🙂

https://www.youtube.com/live/1x9zzZpZ4Uo

[nimble mesa]

can someone some that up for me

any early acess details

multiplayer?

[sand herald]

Flipped him over

[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

[azure mirage]

There will be local split screen whenever early access gets released

[nimble mesa]

no mulitplayer?

[restive garnet]

@azure mirage answer this question please, by having watched the stream

[brave basalt]

what stream

[restive garnet]

I JUST linked it

[brave basalt]

Oh i see

[restive garnet]

You sure

[small wing]

herobrine willie

[coral reef]

Jesus Christ these past couple of days have been torture, just gotta wait till the 10th I suppose

[brave basalt]

do you know what time they start discussing it lol

[coral reef]

Or somewhere around that date

[restive garnet]

In the middle somewhere

[small wing]

he does do that

[brave basalt]

no

[restive garnet]

He does

Chokes then dies

[small wing]

does anyone know what makes willie be all motivational when you win and say stuff like "let us sheathe our swerdes in honour"

because idk what makes him stop

i thought it was excessive gore but i chopped willies in half and he still says it

[restive garnet]

He wants to fist fight

[small wing]

yeah but its when you win

[restive garnet]

Yes

[brave basalt]

if you spare him by being non lethal

[small wing]

Buttery smooth fps with 4x fps generation on

[devout talon]

how does one suplex in half sword

[sand herald]

Not sure about the science, it just happens sometimes

[small wing]

i have some videos of me ragdolling willie and throwing him but im not on my pc and i dont wanna turn it on

just grab his foot then start kicking him until he loses balance

then you just grab his ass and pray you dont lose grip

[devout talon]

Okay so how do you move that fast

I be over here playing vanila and yall be out here doing some wild ah shit

[sand herald]

I mainly play at a very high in-game sensitivity and mouse dpi

[candid mica]

is there any sort of way to prevent a fatal error while doing the ultimate challenge

[azure mirage]

disable blood

Settings - Game - below the Npc damage sliders click "GORE" - turn off blood completely

[jaunty furnace]

Try lower graphics settings aswell if that fails

[azure mirage]

should've most likely completed the list already

[modest whale]

bro turned into a francis bacon artwork

01:08:27 Oh, there was a question. There's a question about jousting. So, I believe So, I'm not going to be

Did you cast Testicular Torsion on yourself?

[azure mirage]

PRICING The game will be around 10–30 USD. Thanks to surveys, they're aiming for a price that's a no-brainer due to recent games costing 20, 10, and/or 5 dollars. (1:16:28) / 40%–45% regional pricing max for countries like Indonesia, Argentina, etc. (1:21:50)

can i ask, will this game have multiplayer? or when you will release it i need it! 😄

[vital perch]

split screen is planned , online multiplayer is considered

[odd ridge]

alr, and when you will release full game?

this year?

[vital perch]

early access , yes

[odd ridge]

i would like to play this game with friends it look cool like "2 players vs 5 npcs"

i think it have good potential

if the demo had success then so should the full game

you said most mind you

[tawny anvil]

nay

[rocky bluff]

That hit was really good man!

How did you get the helmet off and the weaphon?

[vital perch]

two mods:

half sword enchancer for making the loadout

ovrdth's selector for using the loadout

[rocky bluff]

Nice. I didnt know they already moded the game. You know its a demo

[vital perch]

i am aware

[rocky bluff]

Yeah... Maybe a bit dumb to say that last thing

I mean it stands on steam that it is a demo

[vital perch]

yeah , but surprisingly it feels like a whole game

[rocky bluff]

Yeah. Its pritty crazy. The only thing i think is missing is maybe an online pvp. But that can go very wrong.

[vital perch]

bonk

[rocky bluff]

Nah, that shit is funny. poor dude

Where did you get the mods?

nexus

[rocky bluff]

oh yeah. Nexus got many mods

Those hits are really good. Did you download the game when the demo came out?

[vital perch]

haha , you'd be surprised how many hours i have

not that many

[lucid kite]

if i change to direct 12 will this game stop crashing

[vital perch]

pretty sure DX-11 is better for performance

[rocky bluff]

much more than me. Just got the game

[lucid kite]

keeps crashing

[vital perch]

lower blood settings then

i'm assuming it happens in ultimate challenge

[agile moss]

Hey guys is the playtest version still available?

[lucid kite]

yes

in that challenge

[rocky bluff]

How much do you guys think it will cost? because it have to cost something i think.

[vital perch]

i'd bet ~20-30 bucks

[rocky bluff]

Thats still pritty cheap. Just compare with all the "known" games like battlefield and cod and they charge you 80 to 100 bucks

[vital perch]

that's just how it is ig

Triple A
games? more like triple the price

[rocky bluff]

yeah

🤣

[small wing]

atleast skate is free

[vital perch]

[normal hamlet]

[rocky bluff]

Yeah. Im not really read in too those games so do they often cost

[small wing]

cough $50 cough

[rocky bluff]

Damn, a meat constume

[vital perch]

[rocky bluff]

Thats a T-bone i think

[rain cape]

How does the Abyss work when you die

[small wing]

you get more stuff im just a slave to big microtransaction and i only wanted the meat

[rain cape]

there only seems to spawn a single enemy and after that nothing happens

[small wing]

keep walking

[rocky bluff]

Then dont fall to the Snail

[rain cape]

Omg Thank you very much

[small wing]

i am the smartest man on the planet

[vital perch]

if you died during the gauntlet the abyss is a chance to save your character from death. beat the previous bosses to save your chracter , if you fail , well you have to start all over again

[rain cape]

iam not thats the problem

[small wing]

Are you trying to play the playtest or the demo? If it's the playtest then it has ended and the demo was updated

[rigid stirrup]

flails mentioned in the livestream hype

[idle crane]

Try this

Go into properties on steam by pressing the gear icon when you have halfsword selected in your library and then under launch options type -dx11

Let me know if this fixes it

[mental kelp]

They were also shown in an epic games post

The actual model

[fallen dagger]

reinstalling fixed it

there's a quarterstaff mod

in the vicious weapons pack

it's a really bad weapon but I'm maining it because it looks cool

[dark folio]

[dark folio]

Yes

Whys my name that

[vital perch]

@tender quest what's worse:

using a shield and still losing

OR

dropping your shield and losing

[tender quest]

3rd option, having a shield in the first place

[vital perch]

fuck shields

they ruin my combos 😔

and therefore ruin my clips

[tender quest]

especially bucklers

[vital perch]

they make me look terrible with maces

[idle crane]

I like fighting shields. Alot of my techniques are anti shield

[vital perch]

this clip is without a shield and looks amazing

[tender quest]

alot of mine are for fighting against polearms, im expecting to see alot of them if local mp drops

[restive barn]

there is a quarterstaff

in MY weapon pack 2

that is better

[vital perch]

i use techniques for head combos , don't really have any against shields except overheads

[idle crane]

You training for the militus vs m00 fight i see

[tender quest]

im not so egotistical as to assume im going to beat everyone that i come up against

[vital perch]

i mean , if i was to assume a duel with you i'd say i have like 30% chance to win

[restive barn]

what about me

[vital perch]

60% maybe?

[restive barn]

dude have you seen my weapon of choice

[vital perch]

if you can hit me in the head that's a free win mind you

[tender quest]

I dont recall applying 😮

[vital perch]

i already applied

[restive barn]

@shell bronze is this weapon allowed in the hs7

[young saffron]

am gonna check it

I didn't know it existed

[restive barn]

its not out yet lmao

[young saffron]

maybe because you work so hard and are so goated

[vital perch]

unironically if you removed that big metal square and had a stick with a long metal tip @young saffron could use it

[prisma saffron]

this out?

[young saffron]

my most diabolical quarterstaff clip

[young saffron]

I love how I'm not the only one who hits his head on the fence after beating off willie

[young saffron]

willie was just testing the durability of his helmet

[restive barn]

helmets are a myth created by the government

[tiny void]

Hey guys, have the developers said when the game will be released? Will it be in the fall or winter?

[restive barn]

from now - december 31st

[vital perch]

this year

[tiny void]

Okay, thx

[vital perch]

helmets aren't real

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[vital perch]

another examply why shields are dogshit

[restive barn]

did you try stabbing with a mace

[vital perch]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[brittle bridge]

AI are dogshit with shield

tbh i tried and im starting to think that shields are not as bad if you know how to use them

[vital perch]

same with maces

[brittle bridge]

yeah

[vital perch]

you aren't going to do anything unless you can use it properly

[restive barn]

shields are not dogshit

[vital perch]

shields as in AI shields

[vital perch]

skill issue

[brittle bridge]

I feel like using a table with blades around it isnt exactly the best example of why shields are good

[restive barn]

its a dueling shield

[lime bluff]

Is it willy or willie

[vital perch]

willie

[lime bluff]

Ok

Thank you

I also heard it was Wilson Halfsword The Third

[restive barn]

actually his name is wilhelm w fischer

i believe

[silver ibex]

how do you duel players?

[vital perch]

you don't

[lime bluff]

Ah thank you

[brittle bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-neat-part-you-dont-invincible-gif-27194608

[silver ibex]

no mods

damn

[vital perch]

split screen is planned so that's smth ig

[silver ibex]

yeah ig

btw

am i tripping or is the ai learning after me?

[brittle bridge]

i think yourte tripping mine is still dogshit

[vital perch]

ai is always the same

same techniques and same dogshit

[silver ibex]

like deadass its learning after me

Like first 60% of game was dogshit ai

but slowly

[restive barn]

not true

[silver ibex]

it doing the same bad and good habits i do

[brittle bridge]

tho sometimes i feel like they did a line of coke before the fight and after getting like a 10 win winstreak, i just get curb stomped

[restive barn]

the ai has varying levels of intelligence

and skill

and reaction speed

[vital perch]

actually yeah

that's the only difference between tiers

[silver ibex]

oh interesting

ive never lost a fist fight to ai

and if you have your dogshit

[vital perch]

[silver ibex]

✅

[brittle bridge]

my man after 85 hours of dumbshit you think i never died to him?

[silver ibex]

[brittle bridge]

[vital perch]

@tender quest this one's for you and your buckler hate

[silver ibex]

[brittle bridge]

i got rail gunned by a hat yesterday, like mach 3 in the middle of chest and i got dropped outside the ring

[silver ibex]

[tender quest]

[silver ibex]

buckles are so fun

[brittle bridge]

i dont like them

[vital perch]

banned

[silver ibex]

cause you suck?

[brittle bridge]

i like the one just after the buckler tho

[silver ibex]

what the strat is

you block a swing with the buckle

then you drop the buckle and shank them 80x

[brittle bridge]

yeah but for the defence it provides id rather have a longsword

[vital perch]

what's the point of a buckler if you're not going to use it afterwards

[silver ibex]

longsword is so fun parrying so peak

[silver ibex]

parrying a shot to close in distance

[silver ibex]

is ts tuff?

i think over 90% of my gameplay has been in first person

[silver ibex]

this under 10 second clips lowkey boring af

id beat this mf in a duel trust

[restive barn]

[restive garnet]

angel of death vs iblis

[sand herald]

Oaf 🗣️

[tender quest]

its just the way they hold them out and they seems to block almost everything, but i've gotten much better at dealing with them so its hard to get a good example

[vital perch]

the tiniest touch of a shield ruins your weapon's momentum and therefore the clip

[tender quest]

i've had a few where the shield has deflected my blade up into their neck

[faint crater]

i dont like the pole weapon at top tier

[azure mirage]

really

[faint crater]

i meant to play against

[warped raptor]

Does anyone know why the last level keeps crashing on me? It says "fatal error" and closes Half Sword. It doesn't just happen to me, it happens to a friend of mine too.

[vital perch]

completely turn off blood

it's a common crash

[warped raptor]

okay

thanks

just the blood or also the dismemberments?

[vital perch]

@tender quest another one to satiate your buckler hate

[vital perch]

gore's fine to stay

[warped raptor]

okay

[vital perch]

dramatic ahh death

[wooden gazelle]

cinematic aaah death

[ancient agate]

that ain't dramatic bro folded after like 1 hit

[azure mirage]

@restive garnet

[zinc cipher]

How much practice do you guys think it would take for me to figure out how to throw an ax accurately enough to kill a Willie?

If anyone has any tips, I’d love to hear

[azure mirage]

it's one of the hardest strats in the game as of now

[zinc cipher]

I’m sure I could figure it out

Given enough time

First, I gotta figure out the arm movement and then the correct release time

And then aiming

And that’s only like three things

[sturdy egret]

When's the update dropping again?

[vital perch]

THIS YEAR

[zinc cipher]

Christ, that was smooth
