halfsword-chat-⚔

[humble iris]

remember these dates

[covert flare]

its looking fantastic though, all you see in #announcements is part of EA

[shell bronze]

but my top 5 personal favorites for hs7 (i'm already included :p) are m00, the two johns, riddler, and green guy

subject to change as time goes on

[lapis marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/rahhhhhh-gif-27404668

[covert flare]

i legit tought of november 26th too

[humble iris]

whos green guy

[lapis marsh]

you traitor

[covert flare]

and then november 24th

[tawdry vale]

I know, I just can't afford anything right now.

[quiet ferry]

Woab

Where am I 🤔

[covert flare]

you and m00 are not stepping down the podium

[near grotto]

I'm praying to every God and crossing my fingers, Hell even my toes, that Half Sword is at least somewhat optimized on release

[humble iris]

it will be more optimized

dw

[shell bronze]

i vaguely remember him

[quiet ferry]

Dang

[humble iris]

ok i need to change my name soon

im not competing with the name "fart farty mc farterton"

[lunar stag]

its where you go from overhead to a twirl that causes the hook to swing into their side

[shell bronze]

there is a reason why m00 is affiliated with the official dev team and is considered the polearm god of half sword as a whole and not just halfcord

[covert flare]

atleast you can change yours im being mod abused

[humble iris]

a mod originally put this as my name too

and then i adopted it for myself

[near grotto]

I hope so man

[humble iris]

but uh

[shell bronze]

i just fw myself hella and think i've mastered half sword as a video game against the current AI for virtually every playstyle and weapon type

[humble iris]

brazil numbero uno rahhhh is a tuff name

[quiet ferry]

Owe bout moai

[covert flare]

specially because i am in fact brazillian

[shell bronze]

hmmm

[covert flare]

do glaze yourself you deserve it

[humble iris]

that makes it better

reasonable glaze

[inner raven]

How do people play at such a high sens? My sens is pretty low and my DPI I’m fairly certain is 600

[humble iris]

i dont think people play on high sens

since it ruins mouse control

[sand herald]

👀

[inner raven]

Just the videos I’ve seen on here

[humble iris]

i think they just swing their mouse at a high speed

[inner raven]

This guy right here

[quiet ferry]

Flashy

[humble iris]

except for you, of course (lethal spins)

[humble bloom]

M00 plays at high sensitivity

[quiet ferry]

I think they just do it to like

Show skill

[lapis marsh]

flex

[shell bronze]

you are very active and chill but i actually don't have much recollection of your gameplay @quiet ferry

send me your best

[covert flare]

m00 plays in fucking abnormal sensitivities

and still has insane control

[lapis marsh]

he's literally built different

[quiet ferry]

I’ll do that soon

[muted granite]

@warped apex https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/ljgk91Frtj1UavX0O?invite=cr-MSw5U3ksMjg5NDczNTg3&v=104 may take awhile to load (im also insanely tired so theres no effects 💔 )

kinda rushed

but its ok ig

[covert flare]

may i aswell

[shell bronze]

on god m00 lowkey pmo when i tried to learn from him one time

[shell bronze]

yes

[inner raven]

I just don’t get how people do it, I used to play on 1200 DPI, and my friends were like “bro, way too high”

[covert flare]

i only managed to learn the polearm spin and feints

[signal wedge]

Did he give you some sarcastically rude and useless answer

[shell bronze]

i didnt learn anything from him i just decided to do my own thing until it clicked

[covert flare]

ok just give me a minute to gather clips because i deleted my past videos for space

[lapis marsh]

yeah same here

[muted granite]

wait who's m00 again

[humble iris]

first thing i notice

music is tuff

[sand herald]

I worked my way up to the DPI I have now

[shell bronze]

you do not post clips you dont count

[inner raven]

Mad man

[shell bronze]

shoo

[covert flare]

mechanical god of hs

[humble iris]

montage

also tuff

i like it

[muted granite]

ohh

[muted granite]

ty vro

[sand herald]

Got comfortable at a certain DPI, increase it, get comfortable again, then repeat until 26k DPI

[lapis marsh]

IF my computer didnt bitch at me while i recorded maybe i would more often

[muted granite]

ys Pixies tuff band... 😎

[humble iris]

keep practicing fpv u got this ❤️

[lapis marsh]

i might try nvidia recording tho see if thats better

[muted granite]

thank you dood!!

:D

[sand herald]

That’s what I use

[humble iris]

anytime dood!!!!!

[quiet ferry]

Realizing I like never record my clips

[muted granite]

ima go to bed

gn guys sleep well 😎

[inner raven]

I just don’t understand how to play this game “properly” if that’s the right word. Like I’m okay, I can get kill, but sometimes I do stupid shit or can’t swing the sword properly, anyone got tips?

[humble bloom]

I personally play at max sensitivity but with my mouse at roughly 800 or maybe 900 dpi. I'd have to check after work.

[inner raven]

Night mate

[humble iris]

gn

[lapis marsh]

best thing to do is just practice a lot

[humble iris]

practice mouse control with the training dummy

[lapis marsh]

a lot of these people have 300-400+ hours on halfsword

[humble iris]

once you managed to improve mouse control/accuracy

[covert flare]

increase game sensitivity

[humble iris]

you should be able to branch off from there

[lapis marsh]

just keep going at it, getting a feel for control

[humble iris]

to more intermediate skills

like parrying

[lapis marsh]

decrease it actually

[covert flare]

if your slashes arent going through your sensibility might be too low

[inner raven]

300-400… I have I think 20 🤣. I hardly am able to get on my pc much anymore!

[inner raven]

Good thought, thank you!

[covert flare]

if you have no trouble getting attacks in then just train a lot

[lapis marsh]

it shouldnt be horrifically low but it should be low enough that you have good control

[humble iris]

with the right practice you can still get there without the 300-400 hours

[inner raven]

Yah parrying is one of those ones that confuse the hell out of me.

[humble iris]

you'll understand more when your mouse control is starting to improve

[lapis marsh]

the key to parrying is that you need to actively deflect an enemy weapon away from your direction

[shell bronze]

parrying is ass

dont ever do it

[humble iris]

everything is connected to eachother

[inner raven]

🤣🤣

[shell bronze]

(gatekeeping high level gameplay)

[lapis marsh]

if you just hold your sword out momentum will carry through anyway

[inner raven]

Just smash heads and hope

[sand herald]

One thing helped a lot was not to take it too seriously and to have fun with how you fight. Doesn’t have to be “right”, and with enough time it’ll start clicking as you get a feel for how you and the AI move. Then you keep on improving while enjoying your time playing

[shell bronze]

be flexible and versatile

if it works out for you just stick with it and branch out/improve what you know

[inner raven]

Yeah that is wild. Fair play to you

[humble iris]

after all the entire game is all up to player control

[sand herald]

And it may even become your own niche, and then boom you’re on hs7

[shell bronze]

manual combat means you can be cool in your own little way

no predetermined movesets, just total control

[inner raven]

Been a few moments where I’ve gone “damn, that was cool” and then I can never recreate it 🤣

[shell bronze]

record and rewatch

[mental kelp]

Clip it and watch it back

[shell bronze]

learn from your peak

bottle the lightning

[humble iris]

to truly learn is to reflect on yourself

[inner raven]

What clip software do you lot use?

[mental kelp]

steam

[humble iris]

i just use steam recording

[sand herald]

I only have those moments with strange physics bugs now

I use Instant Replay on the nvidia app

[inner raven]

🤣 sometimes the best way

Never used steam to record, assuming I’d need to enable it

[covert flare]

@shell bronze here are a few i took just now

[inner raven]

I do have a nvidia gpu too so could see what’s better

[mental kelp]

Use to do this it’s good too if you have nvidia. Steam though lets you edit on the fly and copy/paste the footage to immediately be posted so that’s why I switched

[covert flare]

sorry that the compression is shit im just the xbox gamebar recorder

[azure mirage]

goo

[covert flare]

hi danya

[azure mirage]

hi my child

[humble iris]

wobbly sword

wibble wobble

[inner raven]

That makes a lot more sense, might try that

[covert flare]

idk why its so wobbly but it is what it is

[inner raven]

I work nights, moving into 2 days 2 nights soon so hopefully able to get more play time in :)

Appreciate your guys’ help on this

[covert flare]

i had to change my fighting style because of it

[shell bronze]

boy if you dont put that bigass sword down and fight with appropriate tier equipment

[humble iris]

probably because its heavy

[covert flare]

https://tenor.com/view/john-marston-sure-red-dead-redemption-red-dead-redemption-2-rdr-gif-3210879758749231380

[shell bronze]

solid fighting though, you just need better ai reading

[covert flare]

gotta go dinner brb

[covert flare]

i do have a problem with that

[covert flare]

in basically any games

[inner raven]

Bros quick with it

[humble bloom]

Also distance management, you have a decent range advantage but you weren't really using it.

[inner raven]

You must have system specs of a god

[mental kelp]

To be fair with the weapon in question

[shell bronze]

this is something more akin to john longsword's playstyle (🙄)

but once you get a grip on the ai everything else follows

[mental kelp]

No it’s not

[lapis breach]

john johnny john

no way

[shell bronze]

on god your clips look like that

get real

[mental kelp]

See what u don’t know is that you can’t really fight realistic in Half Sword and you can only pretend

[lapis breach]

i love you johnny

[mental kelp]

Yea cause I been sending those lately so that people know you can have structured Jews

Hews

HEWS

[quiet ferry]

John john

[humble bloom]

What did John mean by this

[lapis breach]

he reacted with waving emoji

[sand herald]

🤔

[shell bronze]

polite precise lookin ass moves and believable footwork

[lapis breach]

john i love you

[inner raven]

Structured jews. Damn

[lapis breach]

i love you

[humble iris]

Hmmm

[mental kelp]

You can have this all while having a Hollywood style of defense

[lapis breach]

you're awesome john

[mental kelp]

Otherwise I would never bind cause it’s harder to bind than to just kill

[sand herald]

hey thanks man, i appreciate the love

[lapis breach]

no problem

your videos are funny

[shell bronze]

woah woah woah waoh

[lapis breach]

i like them

[shell bronze]

woah.

woah .

[inner raven]

He’s seen the word

And he loves it.

[mental kelp]

Brother it’s the autocorrect

[sand herald]

glad you enjoy them 🙏 they were also fun to make

[shell bronze]

why the fuck your autocorrect talking about people of that ethnicity

what they dont tell you is that autocorrect learns from you

[lapis breach]

i can tell lol

[shell bronze]

explain !

[quiet ferry]

Longsworde they’re gonna expel you from the hs7 for this one man

[sand herald]

John Longeswarde cancelled ⁉️

[inner raven]

Tbh, when I type ‘Hews’ it does say that word

[sand herald]

Callum cancelled ⁉️

[mental kelp]

Can’t have shit on half cord

[inner raven]

Hey now. Come on

[lapis breach]

i need to ask you something

[inner raven]

I can’t do photos

[shell bronze]

2 people will be purged from the server in 3 system minutes

[inner raven]

Please no

I give love taps with the butchers knife

[sand herald]

what’s up

[lapis breach]

is this tournament legal

[mental kelp]

As I was saying however, you can have proper footwork and distancing with Hollywood defending and it looks way better than standing still

And parrying on the strong

[inner raven]

Taken a massive spiral from the original conversation 🤣

[sand herald]

Yeah probably

No dih or butt techniques and you’re good

[lapis breach]

mhm

and what about this

(willie gave birth)

[quiet ferry]

Did man get hit by ball bearings what happened

[inner raven]

Kinda hot?

[mental kelp]

To someone who doesn’t understand the art

[sand herald]

I’d have to consult the ref on that one

Birth mid fight seems unprecedented

[shell bronze]

sorry bro this is how i fight https://youtube.com/shorts/TNn-nqcdg2Y?si=vZpV-XPAjCa8XJvt

[lapis breach]

yeah but it isn't my fault

i didn't know he was pregnant

[inner raven]

You’re so not in the year 2025.

[mental kelp]

Then play ghost of yotei and tsushima

[lapis breach]

what does that exactly mean

[quiet ferry]

Half swording in commoner tier

[inner raven]

Killing people who are pregnant, wrong

[mental kelp]

All I’m saying is you can make the hs7 but if I were to make a fellowship of liechtenawer you would not be cut from that cloth

[lapis breach]

😔

[shell bronze]

i'd rather bring that energy into this game because i believe in aura

[inner raven]

Do better.

[lapis breach]

this actually happened in game though for some reason

[quiet ferry]

Why are we killing pregnant people

[shell bronze]

that's ok! i play the video game like a video game

[lapis breach]

when willie died a little thing came out of him

Get to lvl 1 and embeds will show up

[mental kelp]

proper fencing has aura

[inner raven]

🤣🤣🤣

[humble iris]

its level 2

[mental kelp]

Heavy positive aura

[inner raven]

Noted, danke

[shell bronze]

proper fencing is when you poke and pry at the other guy for a bit until your sword touches him

john half sword where are you

[inner raven]

Let’s hope so, tbh I’m trying to learn as much as possible

[lapis breach]

i miss you already 💔

[humble iris]

you get xp for every message sent every 60 seconds

[velvet halo]

Here

[humble iris]

so if you talk frequently your on track

[inner raven]

Ag that’s alright then

[mental kelp]

Which is why I put some spectacle into it on my real clips not the ones I send to teach

[humble iris]

@sand herald is this true

[mental kelp]

Waiting for parries etc

[shell bronze]

How can I pay for this service 🙏🏻

Multiplayer would be funny, like a Fall Guys type situation with its own twist

[sand herald]

About to get ready to workout

[shell bronze]

eastern swordsmanship

the only widespread sport barely resembles real lethal swordfighting
the actual functional swordfighting is gatekeep from sparring and is only drills

[humble iris]

wouldnt be halfsword chat without 20 questions about multiplayer every day

[inner raven]

Not fall guys, gang beasts

[shell bronze]

ask me why i partake in kenjutsu and hate the katana more than the longsword

[lapis breach]

he's here

LETS GO

oh nice dude

[inner raven]

If you don’t bench 300 rn, your sword will be blunt

[humble iris]

why do you partake in kenjutsu and hate the katana more than the longsword

[lapis breach]

do you accept friend requests john?

[quiet ferry]

Every time someone asks about multiplayer we delay half sword early access by one day

[inner raven]

https://tenor.com/view/mw2-modern-warfare2-call-of-duty-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-ii-gif-27095201

[humble iris]

everytime someone asks the release date of EA it gets delayed by a week

[sand herald]

I do mainly calisthenics 😭 hopefully my dips and pushups carry over enough

[sand herald]

Sure

[lapis breach]

really?

i sent you one

[inner raven]

That’s pretty cool though? I haven’t seen much about it but heard of it. Probably because I haven’t touched a gym in a while :)

[shell bronze]

picked a hill and will die on it

[humble iris]

respectable

[sand herald]

Oh did you? Sometimes I get friend requests from people I don’t know at all and I forget about it. One sec

[shell bronze]

you think it would impact his performance if his sword is blunt

[lapis breach]

thank you for accepting john

[sand herald]

For sure, I don’t have access to a lot of free weights so I make the most out of my set up lol (a power tower and a yoga mat)

[inner raven]

No, the sheer power on the spin would be enough to knock them out

[humble iris]

gore TODAY!

[drowsy flint]

play halfsword, destroy genitalia

[lapis breach]

you are disgusting

😠

[humble iris]

you simply cannot beat the unsheathe tech

[sand herald]

it’s goated

[humble iris]

this tech will be widespread in EA

[inner raven]

Ninja

[wheat leaf]

Does it work from cross-draw or only same side

[inner raven]

Right, duty calls. I’ll be back in 30/40 minutes, got a plane to offload 🙄

[lapis breach]

throwback to when i "caught" frank playing this game for over 100 hours and dm'd him over it

[shell bronze]

both ways

[lapis breach]

😭

[wheat leaf]

I’ve tried it a couple times messing around but never really got it to stick, now I see it’s possible I gotta try some Iaido tomfoolery

[digital edge]

Nicee

[celest river]

dubs

[digital edge]

Sup people

[celest river]

when can you send clips

[humble iris]

both but i do from the same side because it looks cooler imo

[wheat leaf]

5 billion years

[shell bronze]

if you want a hand and a half vanilla weapon to try it with use long falchion

you can draw with one hand and then switch to 2 real quick

[humble iris]

sorry i was exporting my super cool clip

[shell bronze]

cringe iaido larp

[humble iris]

that i will be posting in 2 seconds

[wheat leaf]

Valid, it’s almost more like a cowboy draw from same side lol

[humble iris]

keep that guard up boy

[humble iris]

even though its probably

[wheat leaf]

We all a lil cringe for putting real techniques into a ragdoll game, might as well try as much as possible lmao

[humble iris]

less practical

[burnt mist]

why is the picture bot changing my damn photos

[humble iris]

coolness>practical

[wheat leaf]

See if we only played for practical everyone would run polearm and win in the first 2 strikes

[celest river]

*pitchfork

[wheat leaf]

Still a pole*

WHY DONT YOU PITCH ME A BETTER IDEA TO FORK DOWN

God my dad joke era is gonna be peak

[celest river]

i associate pole with the barons

[shell bronze]

exactly

why do you think i say that then immediately post an example

it's a video game and we play it like one

[wheat leaf]

Have you tried Pokémon go’ing to the polls

That’s a real throwback

[celest river]

its called half sword tho

[wheat leaf]

Cause half of the weapons are swords

[celest river]

no bruh

[wheat leaf]

Yuh bruh

[celest river]

wikipedia is free 💔

[humble iris]

falchion op........

[shell bronze]

told you falchion good

[humble iris]

falchion only good when im using it

when ai uses it

i HATE it

[shell bronze]

same with everything else

ai dumb

[humble iris]

only because its the ai of course

[shell bronze]

make ai smart and maybe i'll start fighting more realistically

[drowsy flint]

who needs weapons eh?
just bounce that fuckers head off the fence

[humble iris]

make ai parry my every move

[shell bronze]

exactly

[humble iris]

program an ai that uses clueless's skill set

make it the baron

[digital edge]

Fr like I want the baron to be as hard as an elden ring boss

[shell bronze]

going for useless/impractical parries and blocks translates well to getting straight up styled on by the ai if it does the same

getting hit with a crouching ukenagashi parry will be a lot of people's last straws

like yeah a skilled player wouldn't fight that way and would be able to deal with my current playstyle decently well in pvp

but for lesser skilled players getting done dirty like that by the ai will be actual ragebait

[humble iris]

their only chance is throwing things

infact

replace commoner boss with your ai

make them EARN that armor

(and make people complain about commoner boss being too difficult)

switcheroo into the double handguard strike

they dont see it coming

[humble iris]

my clip cuts short are you kidding me!!!!!

ok whatever doesnt matter!

crack

[fierce wedge]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[drowsy flint]

watch the autolock on absolutely fuck me here

[wheat leaf]

Didn’t they up the AI’s abilities w the gore update?

[humble iris]

bap

[wheat leaf]

Ancient history by now but curious

[drowsy flint]

what abilities?

[wheat leaf]

Like just the general ability to fight I mean

[fierce wedge]

they upgraded their gooblerness

[wheat leaf]

Couldn’t think of a better word

I recall feeling like the AI got.. not smarter really but a bit trickier I guess

Just better

[fierce wedge]

goobiler

[wheat leaf]

Just as stated in the patch note 😂

[shell bronze]

they still put me to sleep

[sand herald]

i need random players’ skillsets airdropped to Willie’s AI asap

[drowsy flint]

tf does gooblier even mean

[fierce wedge]

goblish.

[brittle bridge]

yeah thats what i was gonna say

[brittle bridge]

that i mena

[humble iris]

all of hs7's skillset put into one ai for the ultimate boss at the end of gauntlet

[shell bronze]

starting with yours

[harsh sonnet]

Is the sluggishness of heavy armour something the devs will fix in the future?

[brittle bridge]

got no fucking clue whats he saying

[shell bronze]

it would not even be funny

[fierce wedge]

english

[shell bronze]

take longsword to the boss and you get both me and jls' sword skills shutting everything down

[covert flare]

soulslike bossfight

[brittle bridge]

you should look in a dictionary

[shell bronze]

take polearm to the boss and m00's skillset alone will maul you to death

[fierce wedge]

i did

[humble iris]

and at the same time they will be launching you towards a fence

[shell bronze]

try spin kicking and jhs will counter kick to break your leg then send you into orbit in 3 pieces

[humble iris]

to win you must be the jankiest

[fierce wedge]

plural of goob

[sand herald]

the training arc would go crazy

[shell bronze]

try shield or armor and you just get militus treatment

borderline impossible boss fight unless it's TAS or you throw something perfectly

[covert flare]

the humble hs enhancer

it could be a fun training method

[humble iris]

good luck getting a hit on them

[shell bronze]

here's the problem

[covert flare]

with immortatility and no pain you can just walk foward and stab them until you hit them

but that is not fun

[shell bronze]

game detects enhancer/trainer and unlocks jhs' modded gameplay to use against you

[wheat leaf]

Holy shit it actually is

I was just kidding

zero pain in this game is the most horrifying thing in existence.

this man's arms, legs and neck are all broken and he isn't screaming, but he is staring.

[shell bronze]

iron man

[shell bronze]

creepypasta

[fierce wedge]

so why dont you like

kill him

[lapis breach]

can you PLEASE tell me what you use

[shell bronze]

he uses pure skill and high dpi

[lapis breach]

no be honest

[humble iris]

pure vanilla gameplay

[shell bronze]

pure

Clips from tonight's twitch stream

[humble iris]

that green fit is peak 🙏

[shell bronze]

he currently represents green on hs7

[drowsy flint]

lmao this guy thinks he disarmed me

he actually enabled dual wield

[humble iris]

we love green 🤤

[mental kelp]

whats ur dpi and sesn

[twilit escarp]

because it's almost fascinatingly unnerving.

[shell bronze]

why do you care johannes liechtenauer

haven't you already mastered the blade to levels beyond my comprehension

[fierce wedge]

secret hidden boss halfsowrde

[mental kelp]

cause I siwtched to dx12 and my skill got worse but I just can't prove it

so Im shopping around

[shell bronze]

my game sens is about 30-40% and I forgot my dpi

my mouse is also no longer supported by logitech so i cant even pull it up

[twilit escarp]

their legs will continue walking around too if you cut them in half, it genuinely takes this game from a gory swordfighting game to body horror pretty damn fast.

[shell bronze]

it's vile

[mental kelp]

Truly

[shell bronze]

go back to dx11 only i get to play dx12

[mental kelp]

But it looks cool

[fierce wedge]

i cant wait for uhhhggg

uhhgggg

[mental kelp]

Though something is happening with my mouse now

[fierce wedge]

uhhhhhh

[mental kelp]

and it only happened in dx12 so

[humble iris]

sorry i rigged it

dx12 rejects you for the vile sins you've committed against me

[mental kelp]

I used to be able to bend a bind to my will but now its so over

[wild ledge]

What's the country with the flag on the shoulder shield in knight tier that is a white and red castle pattern?

[shell bronze]

now start doing clashing dramatic parries

[fierce wedge]

buyrger.

[fierce wedge]

its a country i think

[mental kelp]

what I used to do literally, and I would do cool af grabs

Back in my day

[shell bronze]

jesting aside i honestly believe that the different rendering API messes with physics

but i've been team dx12 since day one so it's what i live with

[humble iris]

firstperson buckgle rr

[mental kelp]

Idk I've been getting this thing where I'll move my mouse pretty slow and it goes way faster but then immediately after returns to normal. could be my mouse problems though since I never heard that from anyone else

I dont have pointer precision on

[fierce wedge]

most non-lethal clips i have ever seen

greatest advancement

[shell bronze]

might be built-in mouse acceleration playing with you

[mental kelp]

I thought that but I couldn't find anything in settings

also I've played with the mouse the whole time

even my peak

[humble iris]

uhhhh

i may or may not have

bashed his head against the fence after the clip

[shell bronze]

and switching back to dx11 solves this?

[mental kelp]

Nah probably not but its weird coincidence

Once you go dx12 you cant go bakc

[shell bronze]

yeah you got cursed by me

[mental kelp]

Hexed

[shell bronze]

congrats and enjoy your new improved weapon handling

[mental kelp]

That would make sense for the skill drop, if its trying to make me imitate you

[shell bronze]

precisely

[frigid oracle]

you cant

[shell bronze]

start abandoning realism

join me brother

[frigid oracle]

dudes not gonna die for a LONG time

unless you cut his head off i dont think no pain willies can die

[fierce wedge]

who decided that

[tall lynx]

yo how do you get good at throwing weapons, even

that ish so hard

[shell bronze]

50/50 luck and skill

[tall lynx]

i keep done throwing a sword back into my own stupid ugly face

and chopping it off

[frigid oracle]

vader pov

[tall lynx]

Idk I see yters do it kinda consistently.

there's a trick, I know it

[shell bronze]

they have the 50% skill maxed out

what's like, the ultimate end goal for half sword in terms of a 1.0

[humble iris]

skadoosh

[tall lynx]

we've been playing the demo so long, I haven't even asked what the full pitch for the game is

[fierce wedge]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[shell bronze]

you can stick your hand through the monitor and hold the weapon

[tall lynx]

lmao, fair

listen the combat is already crack

[humble iris]

expect current halfsword but like

[shell bronze]

knowing that early access will be only 50% we have a LOT of ground to cover

[humble iris]

100x better

and 10x laggier

[shell bronze]

look who doesnt have a top percentile pc

[humble iris]

yeah yeah rich guy...

[tall lynx]

yeah but are we talking, it's a match based fighter

it's a progression-ish tier fighter

[shell bronze]

we hate poor people here

[humble iris]

we dont know what will come for full version

[tall lynx]

it's a quasi-story thing like how bushido blade did

[shell bronze]

i made the devs increase price to 100 bucks a copy too

[shell bronze]

you also have to play with hardware path tracing too

[tall lynx]

you monster

[inner raven]

I be back 🫡

[frigid oracle]

half sword in its full state will become super hellish quart

[tall lynx]

thats fine i'm rich

[humble iris]

groschen band check rn

[tall lynx]

i'm the gerber baby i can afford it

i'm the heir to the geber fortune

[mental kelp]

do you play 60fps or something higher like 120+

[shell bronze]

60 locked

[mental kelp]

that affects swinging and edge alignment and floppiness a lot too, along with the physics

[shell bronze]

keeps pc happy and cool and game stable

[mental kelp]

ok same

[shell bronze]

120+ is for john halfsword and improved high speed/jank combat

[round stone]

is this tuf, chat?

[tall lynx]

great game, yeah if so that's cool, i'm happy with that

but the real question is when is half sword getting romance options

[sand herald]

yeah, i play around the 240ish range

[shell bronze]

i should try dx11 low to see what it feels like

[sleek mica]

That's too fluid

[inner raven]

NASA pc?

[sleek mica]

It becomes literally too floppy

[shell bronze]

if i do 240fps and use my amd framegen/smoothing i can get 480fps

since that doubles my frames

[sand herald]

yeah it gets wilder the higher it goes

[lapis breach]

how?

[sleek mica]

I have to limit it at 150FPS to maintain some level of consistency

[lapis breach]

i have a 4090 and 14900k and i get like 180 fps on epic settings highest

[sleek mica]

And still 120FPS seems more stable

[shell bronze]

what res

[sand herald]

I play at medium which helps with performance

[shell bronze]

any 1440p/4k enjoyers here

[lapis breach]

oh yeah, i'm hitting that 240 fps mark too now

[lapis breach]

i play on 1440p

[covert flare]

me

[inner raven]

Meeee

1440p

[shell bronze]

welcome welcome

no poor people allowed

[covert flare]

i play on maximum res and on epic

[devout yew]

you always up in this chat

[shell bronze]

1440p high/epic is peak half sword

[shell bronze]

i'm different

[covert flare]

idk how the 3050 laptop handles that but it sounds ike a jet engine while doing it

[lapis breach]

i play at 1440p epic dx11

Long stick user down!

[inner raven]

R7 5800x and a 3080 😅, get a comfortable 80/90fps on high which is fine with me, or I’ll go to medium and get 100-130

[devout yew]

[humble iris]

[lusty jolt]

Yep same here, heats my room up like a sauna

[tall lynx]

jareed's being awfully evasive guys

what do you think thats about

[shell bronze]

(impossible difficulty)

[lusty jolt]

cannot talk about this, ongoing case

[soft osprey]

I am literally the most fair moderator. If you make me happy at all Youre good, if you make me unhappy you are banned for life. This seems fair to me

[shell bronze]

fair point actually

[tall lynx]

oh yeah you guys are such good mods?

[shell bronze]

i abide by the same rules

[tall lynx]

well mod this

i'm pointing at my junk right now

[shell bronze]

cant handle anything above 10% abv sire?

[soft osprey]

I can’t handle anything less than 90% alcohol. I spike my corona with pure ethanol

[amber vessel]

Alcohol tastes like penny water

[soft osprey]

I think you might be dying

[amber vessel]

I was an alcoholic for 4 years before i realized it tastes genuinely like shit

[round stone]

Mf that is not a flute

[amber vessel]

Now i dont even look at it LMAO

[round stone]

Willie thinks he a power ranger or sum

[shell bronze]

90% wood grain alcohol

[soft osprey]

Funny how that works. I smoked cigarettes for over a decade and not once did i ever like the taste, and now that I don’t smoke, the smell is awful

[amber vessel]

Now all my stress is relieved by shooting strangers online

[soft osprey]

Drugs work too

But I wouldn’t recommend it

[amber vessel]

Nah im sober on everything but good ole ragebaiting in games

Channeling all my malice into making others angry

[humble iris]

Hm, interesting

[shell bronze]

cigarettes are really mid tbh i only use them as an excuse to step outside

My first interaction with cigarettes was someone offering me one then having a coughing fit

You've earned my love

honorable earning

[tall lynx]

this is crazy.

[tall lynx]

Beautiful

[humble iris]

this one wasnt as smooth

[warped apex]

If was smooth af the start

[humble iris]

this one was my best one so far

[warped apex]

If you got the kill with the first strike

It would've been masterful

[humble iris]

yeah

the countless non-lethal hits were such a clip ruiner 😭

[warped apex]

Good block

[humble iris]

thank u thank u

i used to use first person alot before

its coming back to me

[warped apex]

Time to do random throws and use then for combos

[humble iris]

im trying to get good at throwing the buckler

[warped apex]

It's the oddest weapon to throw with power

It was a literal missile before

Then it got nerfed lol

[humble iris]

yeah i remember that period lmao

[mental kelp]

I don't like that you can't see as much as even in irl

like the peripherals are a bit messed, when I hold a low stance irl I can still see where my hands are, but not here

[humble iris]

if he was any farther back my head would've been cut in 2 pieces

[wheat leaf]

you make it look like your playing vr

that was friggin crazy

[humble iris]

im surprised that even cut clean through him 😭

[wheat leaf]

i swear its almost always the cuts you dont expect to dismember

This is where the rng comes into play.

Fingers crossed for a good peasant weapon, and fingers crossed for a maceman

You can kill a longsword guy with the knife you just have to wait for him to miss

Most of the struggles players face are either skill issues or bugs ngl
