halfsword-chat-⚔

[faint crater]

i prefer the sword tbh cause its what im used to. polearms are simple tho

[sullen stag]

nah sword made me die cuz i had a npc hit a crazy lucky strike

idek what happened

[slow jolt]

mace is also good

[sullen stag]

this mf stabbed me and went right into the tiny gaps in my armor 😡

[faint crater]

you'll see the attacks after some time

[slow jolt]

so like
Sword is good

[slow jolt]

knight weapons do not suck

[faint crater]

yeah that happens a lot when your arms are raised, and they do the halfsword stab under your arms

[slow jolt]

halfsword? Like the game?

[faint crater]

like the armpit

[soft osprey]

Knight weapons are good, Youre just fighting against armored people now so it’s more difficult

[sullen stag]

nah i like that uh long ranged weapon with that uh blade on the end and i chopped off a leg every match

[faint crater]

omg no way the games name?!?!?!

[slow jolt]

No way!!!

[sullen stag]

yeah the bad weapons make it harder 😡

[faint crater]

imo armored is easier to me... although maybe its cause i've been focusing on getting parrying flawless at commoner

[faint crater]

you'll begin to love them trust

[sullen stag]

nah cuz commonor grete champion is actually crazy he just had a longer and bigger weapon than urs

[terse dagger]

anyone know what to do when you get a fatal error when trying to launch the game?

[faint crater]

yeah just let him swing 2 or 3 times and you'll get an opening

[soft osprey]

Does it crash on the unreal logo?

[terse dagger]

yeah

[sullen stag]

how to fix crashing after dying and right about to go to abyss

or about to leave abyss

[faint crater]

blood maybe

[sullen stag]

cuz i LOWKEY could of done abyss at knight and saved my character if not for the crash

[soft osprey]

Youre likely running the game on dx12. Right click halfsword in your steam library, press properties. Then under General there’s a line for Launch options. In there type in: -dx11

[terse dagger]

will give that a go!

[soft osprey]

Do you have blood enabled

[soft kelp]

why the fuck is sonic the hedgehog after me

[sullen stag]

yea

[soft osprey]

Turn it off

[sullen stag]

but the game sucks qwithout blood

[soft osprey]

It’ll be fixed in early access

Just how it is rn

[sullen stag]

😭

[soft osprey]

Blood has issues, you can read about it in the most recent #updates post

[sullen stag]

k

[terse dagger]

youre a legend, thanks for the help

[faint crater]

i lowk think its just a skill issue, i've been fine and i run an old (like 5 year?) laptop

[shell bronze]

back to clip spamming

[sullen stag]

i run a hp intel desktop and the desktop is older than me

[soft osprey]

It’s not, it’s a third party plug-in they use for blood. Theyre working on an in house solution which will be ready for early access

[sullen stag]

this is NOT a skill issue

[shell bronze]

this is indeed a skill issue

should've manifested a new pc

[faint crater]

it was a joke :D

[faint crater]

see clueless understands

[faint crater]

so fr

[shell bronze]

this time i'm the bad cop

[shell bronze]

anything just to spite moai

[soft osprey]

You hate me cause you AINT ME

[sullen stag]

when is hair added

[faint crater]

sir moai the eighth

[faint crater]

who knows

idek if hair has been acknowledged

[sullen stag]

😭

[soft osprey]

Yeah hair will come, just don’t know when. Maybe early access? I imagine Thats when they’ll also have the new characters and I can’t imagine they keep everyone bald

[soft osprey]

But bald Willie will never be replaced in my heart

[faint crater]

amen

[humble iris]

once you learn how to parry and do master cuts

experience enhanced 200x

[prisma saffron]

whats being shown on the 13th

[faint crater]

@shell bronze these were my two times I tried to do the thing last night, and looking back I could have for sure flicked my mouse a lot faster.

[sand herald]

For sure, I keep on finding new things to try as well as seeing other people post impressive clips

[mental kelp]

mutiren

kind of a luck based happening but it happens fairly often with the right movements

also isnt exact to the real mutiren like pretty much everything. it doesn't go from the weak, etc.. lots of things diff

[faint crater]

just tried it out again and yeah i was just sleepy or some shit idk

[humble iris]

my binds rarely last longer than half a second

unless im pushing into them

really hard for me to do something like this with such a short period to do so 😭

[mental kelp]

yea the strength behind the blades are pretty floppy so its hard to maintain for more than a bit

also willie will just pull back and slice to the other side or something

thought this ending looked kinda cool

[humble iris]

our arms are too floppy

we need to hit the gym...

[humble iris]

i love doing fast light cuts like these

so effective and too quick for the ai to even know they were hit

[faint crater]

just double checking this is the right poleaxe for tier 7 right?

[round stone]

9 days passed into Q4

[reef vault]

i dream of fighting a bunch of nakeds with max armor

and sword

[humble iris]

this is possible

[reef vault]

☝️☝️☝️☝️ yessss

[smoky bison]

its easier to beat commoner boss as a peasant

using a pitchfork

[humble iris]

i dont understand how people have that much of an issue with commoner boss

sure his sword is big

but if you just wait for him to swing

you can kill him easily by advancing a little after that

fools guard my beloved ❤️

[odd kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/messady-vikasskorbinka-askorbinka-gif-10673250014334976287

[humble iris]

its great for a reason

[keen coral]

yall think there’s a way to post half sword on your school laptop

[barren vine]

knight fighting is so fun

[brave basalt]

Wrong

[barren vine]

you're just bad at it

im like 23-0 rn

[brave basalt]

Interesting

[keen coral]

play*

[soft osprey]

I wouldn’t recommend doing anything halfsword related on your school laptop

[keen coral]

why not

[humble iris]

frying that entire chromebook 😭

[soft osprey]

Because it’s a school laptop. My kids school monitors their laptops

[keen coral]

LMAOO

gotta play potato mode

[keen coral]

my high school different they don’t care

the issue is

trying to find a way

to download it

[humble iris]

itch.io version

[soft osprey]

Yeah probably best bet

[keen coral]

link)

link?

[humble iris]

https://knives-frank.itch.io/halfsword

now that i look back at this version

[soft osprey]

Keep in mind the itch.io version is heavily outdated

[humble iris]

its crazy how far this game has gotten

[keen coral]

no gautlet?

[humble iris]

nope

[keen coral]

damg

[soft osprey]

Different maps

[humble iris]

its the first public version of half sword ever

[keen coral]

is it still good

[soft osprey]

Yeah people play it

[keen coral]

alright

[soft osprey]

It’s just different

Older

[keen coral]

loading up my school laptop rn

[humble iris]

the physics is very outdated and wonky so dont be surprised if its unlike anything you seen already

[brave basalt]

u wearing armor?

[keen coral]

if it works itll be revoultonary

[barren vine]

yeah?

??

[brave basalt]

That explains a lot

[barren vine]

what do you even mean

its knight v knight combat

[soft osprey]

I think hes saying he doesn’t think Youre good. You should actually fight him for that. I wouldn’t take that

[keen coral]

itch.io is blocked

time to get creative

[humble iris]

i thought so 😭

[keen coral]

what if i

send the file

to myself

hollon

[soft osprey]

🤷‍♂️

[keen coral]

ima keep yall posted

[humble iris]

im pretty sure school emails dont allow you to receive emails like that

unless its well

school related

[soft osprey]

A man can dream. Until he loses his laptop for doing stuff hes not supposed to

[humble iris]

the dean checking his chromebook activity is going to have a field trip

[keen coral]

😭

[keen coral]

dw i thought of this

i logged into my own email on my school laptop

so they can’t block my own email

i’m deep into finding unblocked games bro

[humble iris]

if your able to

use DOEGuest wifi

it has more websites unblocked

[keen coral]

i use my phone hotspot + a vpn

[humble iris]

unless that is only available for me

[keen coral]

almost no sites r blocked

i know every methids

[humble iris]

oh

that works too

[barren vine]

holy shit i finally died and it was to my own strategy that this sentient ass ai decided to use

[keen coral]

no way it’s working

it’s downloading

wait

hmm

[barren vine]

this is how i felt til i learned the school has a set of approved apps u can download and nothin else is allowed to run

[keen coral]

na my school not that advanced

they just block websites

[barren vine]

thought the same man

[keen coral]

alright it didn’t work

do you might be right

i think hope is lost

[barren vine]

wonder how far i can get w/o killing anyone

or

to the best of my knowledge

okay first guy he isnt dead hes standing

just bleeding from the nose

not bad

okay second guy is spazzing on the floor

but that means hes still alive

pass!

okay that was subpar

took dude 3 tries to finally get the message and hes staggeringly bloody

BUT

i got him standing! hes alive too

onto the boss

i MIGHT have stabbed him in the balls with a candlestick

BUT

hes alive

[azure mirage]

what'd i miss

huh

[barren vine]

guy 1 peasant - hoe in neck BUT ALIVE!
guy 2 peasant - hit really hard in the temple with hoe spazzing on floor but alive!
guy 3 peasant - accidentally took his arm off with the hoe... dead

guy 4 peasant took my head all the way off with an axe so i guess that ends it

[barren vine]

flash your stats really quick

[gritty wedge]

hate this game so damn much man

i just got died

because i got stabbed through the thigh

with full leg armor

through the armor

not even in a little part where its open

in fact i used the free cam mode

the weapon wasnt even touching my leg

[azure mirage]

happens

[faint crater]

yeah this is lowk made me feel a certain way

so satisfying

[brave basalt]

Holy shit that looks like nigh perfect mirroring, insane reaction speed

[shell bronze]

i know exactly where the ai can/will swing after the first successful block usually

deflect his up swing from gedan kamae and immediately bar him from trying a swing from the right, so he finds another path of attack (usually an overhead) and i move my sword over the other way to ward it off

this kind of gameplay falls more in line with what john longsword does

[sullen stag]

should of dual wielded both swords

[sullen stag]

how do i be like u twin 🥺

[lost bison]

I wish we got a few more sneak peaks of EA

this game is satisfying af it has no equal

[wicked needle]

pvp 1v1 in half sword when

need it to settle arguments

split screen ezpz

you must be high

please only talk to me when sober

peasant

[stray talon]

https://tenor.com/view/whyareyousaythis-why-are-you-say-gif-25892394

[faint crater]

so

I think for every 10 minutes I play polearm I lose 1-2 hours of experience with sword

[neon inlet]

Hello waht you guys fav wapons

[quiet ferry]

Me personally

[night tangle]

Restore the honor

RAGAMUFFIN

[quiet ferry]

Big candlestick
-# (has longer reach than anything you can get in the first 3 tiers, very reliable early game weapon in the abyss, you’re able to catch weapons in the protrusions, and it still has some nice utility in later tiers)

Greatsword
-# (Do you have any idea how satisfying brave stand is with this thing?)

The mace with a sort of a square on top of a pyramid shape with those little protrusions
-# (nice and satisfying when you hit ‘em in the head, great and reliable secondary too, I always have it in a knight or man at arms loadout)

[quiet ferry]

I sure do love big canlesik

I’m more of a pitchfork and hoe guy myself but the axe is really nice too

[autumn notch]

I'm getting better at these spear deflections

[quiet ferry]

You’re fine

[neon inlet]

The peastsebt axe

You can cut people in half wiht taht

[quiet ferry]

I ❤️ dismemberment

[autumn notch]

the axe is extremely satisfying imo

[neon inlet]

You like the bat

You know waht massive

[signal wedge]

is your pfp just a Minecraft cactus

[neon inlet]

It's a normal cactus

[restive barn]

i can

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-17729711691959966457

[signal wedge]

I STAND IN THE SHADOWS OF YOUR ROOM AND WATCH YOUR CHEST FILL WITH AIR

I dont even know how to respond to that

[restive barn]

theres an infinite amount of numbers between 1-2 but none of them are 3

no

[signal wedge]

idk back_shots

I mean buck_shots my bad

[neon inlet]

BOOBIES?

[signal wedge]

haha i dont take mom jokes personally

[neon inlet]

I am a do you

[signal wedge]

that doesnt mean you should keep going 😭

[neon inlet]

This is freak sowrd

[signal wedge]

I'm gonna send you job applications

[neon inlet]

Pls don't say taht words is triggering for me

[midnight jasper]

woah, now i want to buy the game even more

[elfin coyote]

man, were getting real close to the early access

how do you make them so small

I dont think thats the problem

are you new to this game?

do you know any tech?

spinkick, headbut, throwing, grapling?

blocking?

bru

look up and then down real quickly

its really hard to land

also there is risk you doing more self damage than actual damago to enemy

I was pretty good at spinkicks, but they got nerfed

[faint crater]

good riddance

[elfin coyote]

dont even know if theyre still possible

[faint crater]

they are must be a skill issue

[elfin coyote]

there is all the rest of spin tech

[azure mirage]

if there even is multiplauer

[elfin coyote]

mace spin, axe spin, candlestick spin, etc

there may be splitscreen a least, right

gets repetitve ove time

my total hours on the playtest are 47

and in demo are 146

dont think so

playtest is still playable

if you didnt uninstalled it

although on shady sites you can download it (maybe)

still, its a worse version than the demo nowadays

new abyss is really good

hard to complete but really rewarding

nice, axe was and still is very powerfull

i main, swords

but im really flexible with the arsenal

have you beaten the dedicated abyss mode?

great

nice

now the last boss, is the baron

but

after you beat the abyss, baron armor will start to apear, and bosses may now spawn as regular enemies

maybe

never done that

ok

maybe I will

tomorrow, its late for me

ea soon

Just anytime in Q4

If I miss the release im gonna crash out

[brave walrus]

guys

how do i install the game

it says it hasnt launched yet

is it the tech demo?

[golden aspen]

planconpoothrow

[barren vine]

how do you grab and throw people

[brave basalt]

Ohhh

Try grabbing their inner thigh w one arm and their leg w the other

[neon inlet]

Press q and e you can't throw them tho

[barren vine]

mmmm

okay

[gusty flame]

half sword tommorow

[lean scroll]

i feel like they added a new helmet for the 6th rank

[warm void]

I don't think this is enough

[restive barn]

which one

[lean scroll]

i cant send the photo but the one with the mask and the sunhat looking thing

i feel like its new but, i might be wrong

[tough yew]

its the eisenhut or kettle

No they just added more combinations

[lean scroll]

ohh ok i see

[restive barn]

its 2 pieces of armor

kettle helm d and bevor t2

i believe

[lean scroll]

yeah

i totally forgot there was music in half sword

[barren vine]

how do you have this much control over your weapon

do you use kick to thrust!?

[warm void]

he is john

there is no other explanation

he is just the John

[barren vine]

yeah true

[lean scroll]

what do you guys think the best voice line in half sword is?

[restive barn]

"RAGAMUFFIN"

[lean scroll]

i like spread my kindness for mayonnaise

[barren vine]

AUUUH UUUUUUUHH

[lean scroll]

"NOOOO!"

[warm void]

Gurgling

[lean scroll]

a willie just threw a buckler at me

i just died and i was the the 6th rank against a rank 1 willie with a knife

[warm void]

he wont die.

[shy fossil]

that shouldn't have done that but it did

[barren vine]

is there a way to fight urr the bosses repeatedly

i kinda wanna practice against bosses but its svper annoying to run the gauntlet evverryy time

[warm void]

I just use mods to spawn bosses

[barren vine]

siiigh

guess i should install mods then huh

[shell bronze]

die a lot

dayum whole lotta pings

[dark folio]

Use enhancer to spawn them

[harsh sonnet]

Is it just me or did the enemy Willies get really bad at boxing

I recall they performed much better in the past

[restive garnet]

Erm I have had Willie npc grab my kick mid air. And yoinked my leg, so I fell to the ground. I'd say they are getting dangerous

[harsh sonnet]

I'd hope for them to do that lol

[shy fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/snoop-dogg-dontmiss-cantmiss-mfdontmiss-gif-18921665

[dark folio]

Willie is strong

[harsh sonnet]

What Damage settings should I set to I wonder

[dark folio]

If you're new put player damage setting at like 25 percent

[barren vine]

yall think i could beat half sword as one punch willy

[harsh sonnet]

I'm 40 hours in and I think I played myself to boredom lol

[dark folio]

Then put both in the middle

[dark folio]

Maybe

[harsh sonnet]

They die really quickly on that

I set the NPC damage right below the "D" and it seems prolong the fight the most without making it a pointless wiggle fest that 0 Damage does

[barren vine]

tried for about 20 minutes and the commoner boss kept using me like a fucking toy so i guess not

[slim osprey]

will character gear customization appear in the early access release?

[dark folio]

Try again

[dark folio]

Yes

[dark folio]

And you can also do it now

[barren vine]

no

[dark folio]

Coward

[barren vine]

:(

:c

[dark folio]

Sorry

[slim osprey]

with mods yeah

[young saffron]

@dark folio John Mace didn't kill me so you can't get my nose or lips

Maybe you'll get them if he kills me next time

[golden orchid]

Why is peasant boss so... fickle
I can hit him in the neck with a mace full force but gods forbid that scythe graze me anywhere

oh thank you had a fatal error while typing

[dark folio]

Aw dang it

[dark folio]

Disable blood

[golden orchid]

First one of the night luckily

[vital perch]

im trying again afterschool

one more hour

@young saffron @dark folio

[young saffron]

I thought I had escaped

[vital perch]

if i get quality and zed fitness upgrades you're cooked

[young saffron]

btw you can parry with the chainsaw

by holding down

[vital perch]

i know

[young saffron]

so repair is OP

[vital perch]

quality would be nice too

so it's more durable and can repair it more effeciently

[bitter ice]

i saw twin twitch

[wooden socket]

ouch

[tawny anvil]

caesar ahh willie

[young saffron]

hello Father!

[dark folio]

Cant wait

[wooden socket]

a true half sword fungus gamer doesnt understand how fucky the grabbing system is until he tries to do trickshots

how willie feels after deciding to try and grab the enemys leg instead of the sword directly in front of him

[bitter ice]

why is bro acting like he negan 😭

[young saffron]

Willie is getting jiggy with it😭

[young saffron]

I have the same problem but opposite. when I try and suplex wilhelm, Willie just decides to grab the hand instead of the legs.

[wooden socket]

yeah that happens to me too

[warm void]

I wonder why the Willie model's lips have their lips vertex joined/connected

[restive barn]

huh

[warm void]

tbf, changing the model would probably be annoying to do.

[warm void]

I can't blame them

[warm void]

huh.

is the model made in trangles or square?

[restive barn]

i think triangles lemme check

[warm void]

interesting.

[warm void]

I wonder why there is so much polygons on the eyes, i hope they get animated if there is so much.

[vital perch]

@dark folio @young saffron i'm home

[restive barn]

also for some reason half of the eye is made

[young saffron]

one moment

[restive barn]

willie has an ATROCIOUS side view

[vital perch]

oh no

what have i done

[barren vine]

why put the whole eye in there when you're never gonna see it

[restive barn]

idk

maybe the eyes could pop out or something

or maybe

you can remove his face

[barren vine]

I SWEAR THEY HAVE

yo one time i socked the shit outta this guy and i sweeaaarr his eye popped out

[drowsy flint]

is there a reason willies right hook is feeble but his left hook is a sledgehammer?

[barren vine]

eyes are the most recognizable part that makes someone human if the eyes are wrong it dont matter what you look like otherwise

[barren vine]

the devs are all lefties

[restive barn]

yeah thats not possible rn

[warm void]

would be a cool feature tho

[restive barn]

its coming in ea i think

[barren vine]

no but fr the right side of willy's body is where the rotation happens so the left has more leverage

[warm void]

I wish they made bone breaking easier

[barren vine]

thats why swings from the left are stronger

[warm void]

Did Willie drink the worlds reserve of milk or something?

[barren vine]

dude they're europeans

'milk drinker' not ring a bell?

[warm void]

yes, but Willie is a peasant

there is no way he got milk

[drowsy flint]

iirc that comes from children drink their mothers milk, hence a milk drinker is like a man baby coward

[dark folio]

Finally

[vital perch]

hop on the vc

[barren vine]

the racial bit comes from the fact that white people tend to be less lactose intolerant (cuz they live near the cows)

thus they drink the milk more often than not

[drowsy flint]

Mom theyre posting willie ass in chat again 😭

[drowsy flint]

at least its not willie feet

[unkempt pivot]

And yet, you haven't seen Willie pregnant yet

But a big-headed Willie who gives huge headbutts, that can be funny

[restive barn]

ayo my fault gng

[drowsy flint]

headbutts are so hit and miss

50/50 it knocks you out instead of them

[unkempt pivot]

if you have a helmet they also have a helmet so its a bit null

[unkempt pivot]

Well, then, Willie big hands? To give big patriarchal slaps

[unkempt pivot]

Willie's feet are beautiful, and dustproof too

[vapid hull]

That one fuckass thread </3

[zinc cipher]

Pregnant Willie

[jolly gorge]

I got a fresh windows install and half sword left my steam library, I almost had a heart attack

For a second I thought it was one of those demos which you can't get anymore

[zinc cipher]

Wouldn’t the full game be up then?

Or at least the beta

[soft osprey]

Beautiful***

#1270577738826256536

This has never been a more perfect image

[vapid hull]

Beautiful in no capacity

[soft osprey]

Bro is sooooo jealous

[vapid hull]

Freakazoid over here

[young saffron]

The most amazing image I've ever seen

[restive barn]

i made an rgb screen in blender

[ivory willow]

yo can anyone help me? my games stuck in a lower quality and i cant change settings. like i can open settings but when i click on anything else it wont work

[restive barn]

if you look really close it is indeed rgb

[sleek gull]

Hey!

Have your tried deleting the Settings file in your halfsword directory? If it is deleted, it will be recreated when you next launch the game ,restoring settings to default.

[ivory willow]

ty ill try that now

[ivory willow]

Where is its file location in the directory?

[sleek gull]

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\SaveGames

Then delete the Settings.sav file

[ivory willow]

Thanks

[ivory willow]

Its not really working, it may be something with my pc. I was using obs and i accidently dragged halfsword into one half of my screen and thats when it started

I managed to fine out that its my cursor thats not in the same spot as the halfsword cursor

I dont know how to fix it though

[ivory willow]

It also works fine when its windowed but as soon as i go fullscreen it maeks the cursor desync

[tough yew]

[young saffron]

why is willie so buff😭

[sand herald]

No way bruh

[shy maple]

Yall should try exanima

Pretty similar to half sword in a way

[soft osprey]

It’s one of Halfswords inspirations

[shy maple]

That’s sick

I put like 2 hours into it and I died to a fire trap

Stopped playing after that for a while

I spent most of my time doing little puzzles and messing with the physics to do it

[sleek gull]

I've watched a few youtube videos of people playing it, and there is something that I can't put my finger on that it feels like it is missing. I can't really say what it is, but it just doesn't hit me the way it hits others.

[sand herald]

Felt like I was jumping over a hurdle

[quasi gazelle]

god damn

[shy maple]

It feels really weird, I play on controller but the controls on keyboard fucking BLOW

Halfsword also has controller support but it fucking BLOWS

The sensitivity is ripped to mach speed and you can’t do anything precise

[soft osprey]

I only like the tournament mode in exanima

The dungeon crawler aspect, is not fun at all

[mossy siren]

Why is boss 3 the hardest boss out of everyone

I can take down the baron but not boss 3

[quasi gazelle]

I'm ass at knight bro

[quasi gazelle]

exactly

[shy maple]

The dungeon crawling IS fun

It’s just one of those games you gotta memorize

[quasi gazelle]

cheated a little

[mint jungle]

he deserves it

fucker

[sand herald]

Yo...

???

[tall inlet]

how get last class ?

[mint jungle]

you spun around fast enough that your foot basically made contact like three times, applied an extreme amount of force, and he went outta the park

[shy maple]

Cause you got no armor and his sword kinda broken

[sleek gull]

Nothing wrong with enhancing your experience.

[quasi gazelle]

that's why you gotta use a golden poleaxe to humble him

[quasi gazelle]

this is golden

[shy maple]

I just unlock and wait for him to do a down slash

[quasi gazelle]

I may have died to someone as militia and I may be in the abyss

I may have kitted myself with baron armour and gear

[shy maple]

Abyss is so damn hard

I have a harder time with the abyss compared to final challenge

[dark folio]

I hate how the willies jump you by surprise

[quasi gazelle]

yup

[shy maple]

I think they spawn with the gear boxes

[mint jungle]

the trick is you grab something with a decent amount of range and keep moving

[quasi gazelle]

I mean the first few bosses in abyss are way easier

cause you've got better gear

[mint jungle]

leaf spears work great in a two hand grip

[dark folio]

Thats the trick for the entire game

[quasi gazelle]

but 3rd boss probably fucking impossible in the abys

[shy maple]

One time the entire npc wave of the third boss came at me at once I swear

[dark folio]

You mean halfsword?

[mint jungle]

nuh uh. my "no move blunt force only" challenge run proves otherwise

[mint jungle]

no. I mean holding it with two hands instead of a spear. read what I wrote young thug

[shy maple]

Blunt force works great

[dark folio]

You sure

[shy maple]

Knocks them off balance and they can’t swing properly

[mint jungle]

I'm james halfsword yes I'm sure

[shy maple]

What are you talking about

[mint jungle]

mb

[shy maple]

Leaf spears work great when you hold it with both hands 😭

[mint jungle]

I am. very tired

[shy maple]

Do you mean compared to shield and spear?

[mint jungle]

I meant just not using it with an offhand

yes

[limber zinc]

Will early access have controller support?

[mint jungle]

that's exactly what I meant

[shy maple]

The leaf spear works great when you slash

I like it for that compared to the long spear

[elfin coyote]

probably

[shy maple]

It’s kinda janky so it’s really good for popping heads

[elfin coyote]

game already has controler support

[shy maple]

It sucks ass though

[limber zinc]

It does? I’ve been using steam input

[elfin coyote]

true

[shy maple]

It ain’t good

[elfin coyote]

gives you other areas of control mouse doesnt has

[shy maple]

The sensitivity is fucken ripped to the max

[shy maple]

Can’t really do anything precise

[limber zinc]

I see, thanks lads, I’ll stick to steam input for now so

[dark folio]

Alright james

[shy maple]

I would bring my stick to one spot and it’ll snap my sword back to center really quick

[mint jungle]

alright ANDREW.

[sleek gull]

oooh, can I be Richard Halfsword?

[elfin coyote]

no

[dark folio]

[quasi gazelle]

Johnson Halfsword

[elfin coyote]

you still alive in the abyss

[quasi gazelle]

I got out I restored my militia rank

[elfin coyote]

wait, wut

I got a challenge for you

beat the regular abyss, and beat 6 barons and claim their claymore

then take a picture

[sand herald]

DAMN!

[shy maple]

Is the abyss beatable

[elfin coyote]

kind of

do you remember the original demo

you beat the naked willy and then you are free to continue

forever

now change naked willy for the baron

and ad to post game all the boses including the baron

[vapid hull]

Yes it is

[stone flare]

will they add halfsword to geforce now? it's lagging even on the lowest settings

🙁

[quasi gazelle]

poor willie :(
also strangest win I've ever gotten

[elfin coyote]

probably not this year

[shy maple]

No I never got that far

[elfin coyote]

ok

[stone flare]

dang it

[shy maple]

I think I got to the guy with the dual falchions

And that’s it

I don’t remember any other bosses

[elfin coyote]

yes there are no more boses

boses become regular enemies

gets very caotic

[shy maple]

So ur telling me there will be dual falchion mfs as regular enemies

[elfin coyote]

no

[shy maple]

The guy with just the bevor would be pretty easy

[elfin coyote]

im saying baron spawns every wave at some pint

[shy maple]

Oh

I’m talking about og demo not the play test

[elfin coyote]

no

[shy maple]

Don’t think the baron is apart of that

[elfin coyote]

og demo ending

past the point of naked willy is just last level forever

[elfin coyote]

you are a content creator

where can I follow you?

welp lost my character progress after I executed ''destroy all willies'' command

[quasi gazelle]

21k

[vapid cipher]

What is bro's gpu?

[stone flare]

Asus radeon rx 480 I think that's the gpu

[vapid cipher]

The game settings themselves have extreme differences so far, so I'm not against your question

I have an RTX 4060 and prefer to play on high settings. Epic is 60fps and below, and I've heard that "cinematic" makes the 5090 cry

[shell bronze]

cinematic is being removed

no real difference from epic tbh

[uncut girder]

yes

ram usage is going bitcoin curve

all that for render distance and bigger shadow buffer

LOL

[shell bronze]

my best guess as to why its so intensive is the fact that it uses some kind of supersampling/diminishing returns rendering tech

[uncut girder]

the map isn't even open world

yes

[fresh gyro]

It is? where'd you get that from

[uncut girder]

its basically just using more render tech

[shell bronze]

officially confirmed

[fresh gyro]

where'd they say it

[haughty cradle]

mane, im the best half swords player innis bitch. Catch me when ts drop. yall all gettin mopped up. on ma mama.

[shell bronze]

can't find the exact reference but i know franky said he was getting rid of it

it was also only meant for screenshots iirc

[dark folio]

Alright

[fresh gyro]

I take anything to increase performance tbh

[misty gazelle]

Sneaky.

[elfin coyote]

will there be tournaments with the new splitscreen?

[sleek gull]

I'm considering setting up my own Invitational Tournament.

[elfin coyote]

great

[sleek gull]

"Considering" because I want to see how it all plays out. If the Parsec or w/e tools aren't clean, then I won't do it. If they stutter, or cause Ping issues, it is a no go. I want wins from skill, not lag.

[soft osprey]

There is a user made server prepared for it yes

[sleek gull]

Adrenaline Fighting Championship!

I plan on using them as a seed for my invitationals.

[elfin coyote]

better get training for it

[faint crater]

this is news

[dark folio]

Cool

[sleek gull]

@stiff belfry Plug your server!

[stone flare]

oh

[shell bronze]

i have plans to be a host/commentator for afc

[sleek gull]

Should tap into Coolface as well. His HEMA knowledge would make for amazing commentation

[soft osprey]

I can’t wait to throw someone off the hell in a cell like undertaker to mankind in 1998

[elfin coyote]

I dont believe that grappling can be achieved as much as with npcs as with another player

[uncut girder]

chat image were in 1980, what would be future's tech if we were in 2025

[elfin coyote]

still would be very cool to pull that of

they can't even see a wall infront of them HELP

[elfin coyote]

dm me please

[sleek gull]

It got denied?!

[stiff belfry]

DM me for AFC invite link its the user made non-dev endorsed half sword tournament server

Im allowed to plug it and have been for a while just no invite links directly and i spaced it 😭

[sleek gull]

Ahhh! Ok

[stiff belfry]

I just woke up lol my boss told me I had today off and I slept in for the BF6 launch

[stiff belfry]

Youll have to add me as a friend if youd like an invite or just ping me here and I'll dm you one

[unkempt pivot]

I have a question about the upcoming split-screen mode: Well, it will work with Remote Play Together (and thankfully so!), but I imagine that one of the two players will have to use a controller.
I knew of an old 2D game (a physics-based fighting game) where the multiplayer mode supported multiple mice. I imagine it's possible, provided that Steam's Remote Play Together supports it

[stiff belfry]

We have plans for rankings and UFC style presentation with tale of the tape for weapons and unarmed divisions

[young saffron]

Me when I'm walking my goldfish and I see willie with the enhancer mod and he deadass flies into space never to be seen again:

[elfin coyote]

I cant add you

[sleek gull]

I'm excited to watch AFC streams when it is ready and live. It is going to be so cool to watch the various different styles going head to head against each other.

[stiff belfry]

I want to see M00 vs a random slugger

[sleek gull]

Oh hell yeah

[stiff belfry]

It has long been theorized by me that even though it looks cool and techy that a dude just flailing will be able to catch him

And I would like to be proven wrong

I want to see how viable grappling is in unarmed combat too against people who actually know how to defend it (eg grabbing the arms, kicking and turning out, etc)

[sleek gull]

I'm not 100% sure.

In m00's recent stream with the Half Sword Team, they were talking about how at Gamescom, skill beat flailing every time.

[elfin coyote]

grappling can be counter grappled

[young saffron]

I wanna see the bs John halfsword will pull

[calm sorrel]

How would a tournament work without pvp

[shell bronze]

theyre definitely nerfing da shit out of spin techniques

[sleek gull]

It iwll be Split Screen over Parsec of Steam Share Play

[stiff belfry]

PVP added in early access which comes out by december

[shell bronze]

i know 200% i'm not doing even 90% of the bs i'm doing rn against people

fights have to be minimal and quick

[stiff belfry]

I still think I want to do parsec because I found a way to finagle it so you can both use a KBM set up

[calm sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/kiss-gif-11816971814746635421

[stiff belfry]

Since no one knows controller and it’s not really intuitive

[shell bronze]

hence why the kendo men/kotegiri will be my go to

[stiff belfry]

But who knows maybe I can apply the same setup to SRP

[young saffron]

Luckily spin kicks are easy to catch. Willie has caught my leg numerous times mid spin kick

[drowsy arch]

are we allowed to put photos of our halfsword battles here? im new

[stiff belfry]

To all the future hosts Im sorry in advance for the bitch to set up the dual key board mouse setup shit

[elfin coyote]

no theyre not

[calm sorrel]

No

[drowsy arch]

ok

[stiff belfry]

#photography📷 #game-footage-🎮🎥

[calm sorrel]

Half sword content is strictly forbidden in this server

[wooden socket]

since when was that against the rules

[elfin coyote]

I in afc server, I saw in horror as a willie spinkicked at the speed of light

[stiff belfry]

Lmao yeah people are really locking in on unarmed combat

Exciting times

[elfin coyote]

I want to be able to spinkick again

[stiff belfry]

This is like one of the last times I played the game I’ve been off it for a while so I don’t get burnt out before EA

[young saffron]

this is what happens when you halfsword your willie at the man at arms tier more than any other man at arms willie

[shell bronze]

yeah it's a good thing

grabbing cancels momentum a lot of the time

[harsh imp]

thanks eso much love

Ive not been advertising it much due to the fact that I dont wanna have a whole bunch of members and then them not be active once we start up

Id much rather have active people than people who have forgotten about the server

[elfin coyote]

gotta learn grapling techniques if I want to have a chance

[sand herald]

I got one of my craziest spin kick clips earlier, hands down

[harsh imp]

for real, we got the best grapplers in AFC

[tender quest]

are we even playing the same game anymore?

[sand herald]

LOL

[dark folio]

Kaboom

[elfin coyote]

this gotta be regulated

or fistfight will need player resistance to the max for it to last more than 15 seconds

[dark folio]

Throwing will be so op in multiplayer

[elfin coyote]

if you can get them on the ground

in beggar fights

and then just absolutelly SLICEEEE those motherfuckers in half 😭

[sand herald]

Love this method of stabbing

[shell bronze]

the long falchions are a treat

I don't even pay attention to when steam fest starts

[sleek gull]

There could be an update on Progress anytime during Steam Fest

[tender quest]

yeah i was wondering who that gold clad knight was

[royal arch]

Lmao xD

[vital perch]

now you know 😔

[young saffron]

It was either Militius or John halfsword

[vital perch]

only militus uses a greatsword

cant be john half sword

[royal arch]

John Halfsword, the CEO of halfsword?

Most definitely Militus

[wild ledge]

does anyone have any tips for knight tier fights where I have a poleaxe and the AI has a longsword? I can't get out of a grapple fight once we're in one because they bum rush me no matter what, and I lose that fight on stamina because I have a polearm and they have a sword.

[dark folio]

THE TOMATO STRIKES AGAIN

shit i had caps lock on

[sand herald]

Sheesh

[dark folio]

Halfsword was mentioned in joe barts newest video on his gaming channel titled "The weirdest rage game ive ever played" at 16:24

[shell bronze]

practice distance control and avoiding grapples whenever possible

polearms are the meta for that tier (as with every tier)

go for headshots as well

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1418647707324514335/45365B1.mp4?ex=68ea91a2&is=68e94022&hm=57d61e6f5d1b82680f59c4e2dea1cd9983d3e4acaac76ff7ad6fed24032f2c72&

this is realistically all you need to win in armored combat

[wild ledge]

the thing is if I run backwards I fall over

[shell bronze]

you shouldn't

unless game is bugged

[wild ledge]

i think my game is bugged then cause running backwards for too long in armor makes my character trip on his legs and fall over and if I miss a swing with the poleaxe it gets out of my character's hands and gets tangled for like 10 seconds

honestly after getting good at the game its really fun to just screw with the willies

sitting with a halberd prodding a willie like a cattle prod like a herder is stupidly funny cause he just flops over sometimes

its great

[shell bronze]

yeah half sword in its current state is stupidly easy

[young saffron]

did he trip and fall on his own knife?

[vital perch]

so willie decided to give me a peace offering

[young saffron]

He deadass started waving at you

bro what is half sword even about atp💔

[daring hare]

swift, elegant and deadly. I like it

[dapper oyster]

I just learned that you can break their bones

I just snapped a dude's neck with a shovel

[young saffron]

That looks quite uncomfortable

[shell bronze]

he'll be alright

[young saffron]

I sometimes forget that willie is just built different

yo is Willie alright?

[young saffron]

It's a cruel world we live in Willie
