[hoary temple]

guys do i suck for losing to the first couple of bosses

[wanton remnant]

nah its learning and sometimes just happens

[teal fable]

How does one go about fixing the constant crashing during the ultimate challenge

[autumn meadow]

first 4 waves are the hardest honestly

[soft cape]

nah bro sometimes youll have full armour and just the fact that they knick your wrist you lose a hand and your dude decides holding your stump is more important than picking up a weapon with your off hand and fighting

[teal fable]

Oh literally could've just looked up

[hoary temple]

i beat the two first guys...

i chopped the third enemy and he started glitching out wtf

[light pike]

we tied

[blazing gull]

holy shit i just did a 1:1 of the kingdom come 2 masterstrike animation

[light pike]

idk what happened but you gottem

[autumn meadow]

sliced throat

[blazing gull]

this is why i wear the sallets

[autumn meadow]

you can see it happen in the visor at 4 secs

[autumn meadow]

[blazing gull]

[shell bronze]

[shell bronze]

smartphone resolution

[autumn meadow]

trying to keep it with in discord limit because they are cringe and wont boost it to 10 GB like microsoft did with skype

[hoary temple]

this game so tuff

[small glen]

"EOUGH"

[autumn meadow]

i turned it into a fight club by maxing out the resistance on them i have a hoe guy spiky spear one handed spear and a long sword guy who do yall think will win

[blazing gull]

longsword

death by a thoasand cuts

[autumn meadow]

long sword guy seems like hes getting that treatment

heres how everyone is fairing so far

spear and shield guy looks overall the best

ooh bad luck how guy has slashed off longswords leg

[blazing gull]

oh yea that shield

[autumn meadow]

long sword is still kicking

spiky spear is trying to put him out of his misery

spiky spear is down its now between hoe and the spear and shield

[astral raven]

playing on cinematic settings destroys fps but man is it fun and cool

[autumn meadow]

spear man has won the bout

[brittle bridge]

AIs are scary with fucking spears

[autumn meadow]

he even killed me

granted i was at max damage and he was at lowest

[round kayak]

Gang I finally unlocked the ultimate challenge!! :3

It's very tough :,3

[atomic stump]

Good shittt

[autumn meadow]

will there be a vr mode to this game

[atomic stump]

ouch

[autumn meadow]

should have smacked him in the willie first

[atomic stump]

I disagree

[shell bronze]

[sand herald]

follow-up smartest ai clip

[humble iris]

[atomic stump]

Combo clip

[autumn meadow]

the guy in my clip wouldnt give up

[atomic stump]

THIS WAS NASTY

[autumn meadow]

jaw evaporated

[brittle bridge]

I hope they add the ability to just yeet the jaw off its hinges and pretty much gore ppl with blunt

[small glen]

Repost, this AI reaction time was so crazy

[round stone]

"Down, boy"

[autumn meadow]

how do yall get custom loadouts

[small glen]

Making willie kiss the fence is a new hobby of mine

[atomic stump]

ovrdeath loader and halfsword enhanced mods

[autumn meadow]

oh i have to mod it

[atomic stump]

Ja

[small glen]

Clueless, an AI baited my parry and i had a crashout.

I just spilt a head in two with willies sword

[small glen]

Repost, bro i decked his shit with that pommel 😭

[shell bronze]

disarm

[autumn meadow]

hes still not giving up no mercy

[brittle bridge]

more like dishand

[small glen]

When i was experimenting, i grabbed a willie wrist and i spun very fast, this somehow made him drop the weapon

[atomic stump]

Hey i disarmed my guy too!

[small glen]

I was able to do that while on deaths door, so that's rather unfortunate for the willie

[small glen]

Learn to weave!!! And parry!!!

No

[atomic stump]

Smartest AI

[autumn meadow]

i am actually getting the hang of first person

[atomic stump]

If you look at some of my past clips you can see im pretty good with first person aswell

[autumn meadow]

is that a modded weapon?

[humble iris]

yes

[atomic stump]

Had to lock in rq

[vital lotus]

How much is half sword

[atomic stump]

69 dollars

[autumn meadow]

probably going to be realistically a small loan of a million dollars

(in actuality probably 14.99)

[atomic stump]

rn its free

but in reality like forger said prolly $14.99 to id say $30

[vital lotus]

Thanks

[atomic stump]

yuh wrd gng

[brittle bridge]

20 to 30$ is my guess

[autumn meadow]

first time in first person doing the instant throat slice

also hitting him in the back with the hand guard would have in reality put him to his knees

[small glen]

Clean parry boss man

[humble iris]

thankyou

i was very close togetting my head severed in half

[small glen]

Killing medieval ronald McDonald is rude

[autumn meadow]

accidental kills are the best

[humble iris]

they'll always hire a new one

its fine!

this is my favorite grappling clip

[small glen]

I got so annoyed because a ai willie feinted my ass to the next dimension

[autumn meadow]

thats not grappling

[humble iris]

yes it is

i grappleonto his hand!!

[small glen]

Repost, this is also grappling

[humble iris]

if your referring to the ones where people slam people i would consider that more as wrestling

[small glen]

Grappling is just grabbing your opponent

[autumn meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/halfsword-fly-m00-gif-3644296909605259282

thats grappling

[molten summit]

hey what’s the kick button again

[small glen]

[autumn meadow]

space

[molten summit]

Thanks

[humble iris]

light slash

[small glen]

You just beat the snot out of that man lmfao

[autumn meadow]

gave him a nice scar to show the ladies then gave him a concussion

[humble iris]

i like doing crossguard/pommel strikes from the grapple

[small glen]

(Johnhalfsword clip)

Lame

[humble iris]

super cool

[limpid anchor]

Insane control

[humble iris]

doink

[small glen]

You should've spinned kick his face and gave him a haircut

[humble iris]

thanak you

[humble iris]

does this count

i just realized i shouldve categorized my clips into what weapon it is

that would be so much more convenient!!

[elder raptor]

😆

[humble iris]

feint stinker

[autumn meadow]

best carnage ive done in first person

[small glen]

I made him regret that feint for the remaining time he had alive, repost

[humble iris]

another feint stinker

[small glen]

I am like rly good at doing the 360 spin down the middle cut thingy

[humble iris]

not a feint stinker but still is a falchion stinker

left him dazed

[signal wedge]

Your sword is green?

[humble iris]

Always has been

[signal wedge]

You're like a little gnome man

[small glen]

That's purple smh

Nvm it's green

[humble iris]

I am

[placid coyote]

hes joshing you

[signal wedge]

Little gnome man with a blade of grass as a weapon

[small glen]

Honestly, you should've gotten rid of the shoes and be purely green

[humble iris]

Blade of grass

[small glen]

I think it's possible to recolor the shoes

[humble iris]

Yes

This is the name of weapon

Blade of grass

[small glen]

But you need to manipulate the material

[autumn meadow]

from adventure time

[signal wedge]

someone gotta mod glass armor and weapons from the elder scrolls into halfsword

[humble iris]

I cant change the color even when i changed the transparency value

So idk

[autumn meadow]

i just parried for the first time and i wasnt even in third

[small glen]

It's likely the material

[humble iris]

I need grass

Green armor

[small glen]

Do you see something called like NewNumerator0 or something like that

The number = material

[humble iris]

i havent touched jsons in a while

and im not planning to

[small glen]

I was going to make my sword black, but i decided not too

[late phoenix]

By the grace of god I was available to find my remote after 5 hours

[autumn meadow]

also how does willie like it when in the first actual weapon contact it slices your hand off

[small glen]

I did make a semi custom weapon

My hornet loadout has a unique grip

It's yellow...

[humble iris]

blade control 100

[placid coyote]

how

[wide lance]

Is there a way to donate/fund the game?

[autumn meadow]

got to watch their weapon where ever its going you move yours towards it and try to push it out of the way

[placid coyote]

they're very fast

john longsword type kill

[mental kelp]

me when I use the whole sword and not just the edges

[shell bronze]

me when i don't stab because it's boring and ends the fight

[mental kelp]

What does slash to the neck do???

[quaint ingot]

I take one of Willie’s arm away and he still tries to fight

[shell bronze]

what does slash against sword instead of attacking the other guy do

that's right

style points

[mental kelp]

jjust showed a clip of u parrying once and then barely cutting the neck to end the fight

could parry once and thrust no diff

[subtle totem]

since when was ultimate challenge so scuffed?

i always just get cut in half vertically from the enemy dropping a knife on me

[shell bronze]

infinitely more achievable by the average player

i sleep

[mental kelp]

sleeping on what i tell u so u can wake up better 🔥

[quaint ingot]

it’s been that way for awhile when the new version came out it was just fine, coulda just been me

[shell bronze]

sleeping on you and your snoozeworthy doctrine

[subtle totem]

yea to be fair last time it did it was when the gaunlet was released

maybe 1 time after

[quaint ingot]

yeah when I played when it first released I didn’t have a issue been awhile since I did it too

[subtle totem]

i have been hanging on to him with my sword in his back and he just keep spriting faster than usain bolt into walls almost knocking me out

[white trail]

wobba

[shell bronze]

those who refuse to yield after being completely countered and disarmed

[shell bronze]

this thing sucks

[shell bronze]

need to get used to how short this pos is

[echo terrace]

no

[sand dirge]

how do i send images here

[echo terrace]

bro's jaw got dislocated

[echo terrace]

wait why does he have 2 sets of teeth

[rapid bronze]

iirc you need to be level 2 on the server

so just chat around before being able to send pics

[echo terrace]

i can't stop laughing at this

do all willie models have 2 sets of teeth wtf lmao

[rapid bronze]

idk man, guess he still got his baby teeth🤣

[echo terrace]

😭

[rapid bronze]

and AGAIN

[sturdy jolt]

You have to be level 2

[echo terrace]

this is a intentional design choice

why did the dev make him have 2 sets of teeth

[rapid bronze]

nah i think its just cause its not meant to be disonnected so the texture stays in one place and also goes somewhere else

[sturdy jolt]

It probably just has something to do with the layering

[rapid bronze]

thats what i was trying to get at

thanks for helping me do ze english

new climbing mechanic

[sturdy jolt]

Me when multiplayer releases

[echo terrace]

what cpu and gpu do u guys have

lowering graphics doesn't improve my fps

should i get new cpu or gpu then

[sturdy jolt]

Your CPU would be the issue most likely. This is a very CPU intensive game

Lots and lots of physics calculations

[rapid bronze]

game isnt optimized that much right now so i would need to know what you currently have

as for myself i use a 14th gen i5 and Geforce RTX 5060 TI

[shell bronze]

cpu is the main drawback in this game if the fps doesn't change with graphical settings

gpu vice versa

[echo terrace]

ryzen 3 200g and gtx 1650

2200g*

[rapid bronze]

ah yeah i would recommend upgrading both tbh

games now require very beefy pc's

[sturdy jolt]

I think I actually prefer lock off

[winged elm]

Will the release version have better performance?

I'm on a laptop and it's dying

[rapid bronze]

most likely

but playing this on laptop (depending on its specs) is also probably a bad idea lol

[sturdy jolt]

It will be better performance, but you'll be running more complex scenes and the maximum graphics will be higher fidelity

[shell bronze]

no poor people allowed

[winged elm]

integrated graphics D:

[winged elm]

i will cut you down in 12 fps

[sturdy jolt]

Threatening to cut down clueless is bold

[shell bronze]

7800x3d and 7900 xtx w/ 64gb ram

those who are poor

[winged elm]

damn

[shell bronze]

i'd love to see you try

[winged elm]

also in 720p

make sure you have anti aliasing on

love when the screams rapidly alternate between the left & right earphones like that i feel like im in a movie

[sturdy jolt]

You can't deny that first move looked awesome

[rapid bronze]

i was gonna compliment you and make a joke but i cant remember what i was gonna do so, yeah nice move.

i meant i was gonna*

im a little tired

[verbal sphinx]

irl dash attack

[shell bronze]

the kick dash is one of the most vicious moves you can pull if you hit it right

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1263255402729181184/1450726733811810446/DD2FB31.MP4?ex=6943960e&is=6942448e&hm=10ab4438ed961c13a1242d7d2685e968e3c149fead0e8a66f9aa93b17f718040&

[sturdy jolt]

I kick dash all the time, it's one of the essential moves

I use kicking as a dash more than as a kick

[jade ibex]

kick what now

[verbal sphinx]

kick Dash

[verbal sphinx]

you heard him

[sturdy jolt]

This

[dapper meadow]

wtf????

[sturdy jolt]

You can also use it to travel long distances almost instantly

[dapper meadow]

Halfsword tech is crazy

[verbal sphinx]

they made half sword to be combat realistic so this has to be 100% completely possible

[sturdy jolt]

Yeah it's just lunging forward really fast

[weak osprey]

Smart willie

Also agile Willie

[verbal sphinx]

how sensitive is your mouse while playing?

[sturdy jolt]

If you time it right you can do a really powerful flying kick

I use controller

[verbal sphinx]

how do you spin that fast on controller???

better question how do you

[weak osprey]

U can actually use a controller in half sword, I just realized that

[sturdy jolt]

Lol, I use the steam controller. I use the trackpad for fast movement and gyro for weapon handling

[verbal sphinx]

had a feeling

[weak osprey]

Nice pfp 🍔

Delectable pfp

[sturdy jolt]

Why don't you like breakfast sausages?

[verbal sphinx]

theyre too rich in whatever it is theyre rich in

you can probably detect it better if you consume a large amount of it

that uh

might be why i dont like em

[sturdy jolt]

I see what you mean

[verbal sphinx]

i had too much of my pfp and now i only like egg mcmuffins without the sausage

[sturdy jolt]

When's the last time you've eaten one?

if we're talking breakfast sausages i usually have them when my uncle comes over and decides he wants to cook instead

[turbid summit]

any tips on beating the third boss (guy with fat sword) consistently? It seems to be random for me if i beat him or not

[raven talon]

I like to get a good stab in at juuuust the right timing

[sturdy jolt]

Keep your distance, wait for him to do a big swing, then move to stab him as soon as the swing passes you. A pitchfork is good for the job.

[turbid summit]

thanks

[vital perch]

time to learn dodging

[turbid summit]

how?

[rapid bronze]

k

[raven talon]

baron refuses to take me seriously

[rapid bronze]

oops

[vital perch]

hold shift and tap any movement key

[turbid summit]

i like to move around and kind of follow with my camera, ill send a clip soon

[vital perch]

notice how your characters does a quick step

[turbid summit]

not really

[vital perch]

tap , not hold

[weak osprey]

Work of art

[rapid bronze]

ty

[weak osprey]

Silly baron

[ivory hamlet]

lowkey might be a silly question but how are people picking up and throwing enemies?
Every time i try they just kinda float and keep their footing mid air

[turbid summit]

Aha

[turbid summit]

Can’t send

[weak osprey]

Is this clueless’s alt

[ivory hamlet]

I dong have any alts

[turbid summit]

I think you need to kinda knock them off balance, much easier to move them then

[weak osprey]

Ask the grappling vets

[ivory hamlet]

i was hoping it wasnt a skill issue

[turbid summit]

ooohhhh i figured it out now, thanks

[weak osprey]

Maybe

idk

[turbid summit]

i have this issue that i never know the range to be at (especially with axes), im almost always too close or too far away

[sturdy jolt]

That comes with practice

[weak osprey]

Try practicing distancing

I had the same problem as yours with some weapons

all I did was play the game as usual to give myself an adaption or to the change of the distancing some of the weapons gave me

[turbid summit]

👍

[raven talon]

it's pretty much 90% of the solution to any problem you get in this game. "practice more"

it really does reward the hours

[vital perch]

to be honest i have 172 hours and my gameplay looks like i have quadruple that

[raven talon]

you can definitely have more or less productive time depending on if you're just goofing a lot or actually putting in the effort

[raven talon]

I've only 50 hours, and my best work is just ripostes and wombo combos on willie

[vital perch]

@sturdy jolt didn't you say you were going to practice throws

[sturdy jolt]

I got pretty decent at throwing I think

[vital perch]

proof

[sturdy jolt]

I have a lot more examples of it but that's just the most recent

[weak osprey]

172,4 godz is crazy

[turbid summit]

do you often slow down the time once youre about to give up so you have more time to fill the picture in?

[sturdy jolt]

I always do that

[vital perch]

that's how many gods i slain in my career of half sword actually

so glad steam counts that

[turbid summit]

i try but i cant sometimes

[sturdy jolt]

And if I miss it I possess the enemy, use ovrdth selector to select my loadout again, then give up as the enemy

[vital perch]

it doesnt matter , you bleed out slower but it slows down surrender speed

[sturdy jolt]

And I get to continue

[turbid summit]

i thought the surrender speed was the same

[vital perch]

its not

[turbid summit]

it looks like it atleast

[vital perch]

i might be wrong tho

but im pretty sure it doesnt matter

[weak osprey]

never knew autumn mace was a god killa

[sturdy jolt]

I have 560 hours and it looks like I have half that

[sturdy jolt]

It doesn't slow down surrender speed

[vital perch]

huh, i'm convinced it was

embed fail

[noble thunder]

how do u kick?

[sturdy jolt]

Space

[vital perch]

space

[turbid summit]

thats awesome

how do you do that?

[vital perch]

timing and technique

[sturdy jolt]

You have to give up before enabling slow motion

[vital perch]

best throwing clip

[raven talon]

I spent like 3 rounds practicing throwing, gave up fast

it hard

[vital perch]

but so much aurafarming amirite

[raven talon]

I'd rather be awful

[noble thunder]

man i struggle at the first boss

[raven talon]

you'll get there with practice. Then you can become a professional ankle kidnapper like me

[noble thunder]

are the characters really speaking medieval language or its just gibberish

[raven talon]

pretty sure it's legit 1450s speak, it's definitely not gibberish

the devs do love their authenticity

[noble thunder]

now i understand why geralt fears pitchforks

[turbid summit]

fat sword guy is the hardest boss in the game omd

[wind charm]

you're about to be bombarded by snarky knowitalls who want to flex on you, i wish you the best soldier.

[weak osprey]

practice makes mastery

[sturdy jolt]

He has a name

[turbid summit]

its so random if i beat him or not

[turbid summit]

what is his name?

[weak osprey]

master such thing and ye can aurafarm and be badass

[sturdy jolt]

Willie

[turbid summit]

everyones name is wille

[wind charm]

the thing with unfair odds, is that the outcome is never even.

[sturdy jolt]

This game is actually way better with lock off, how have I been so blind

[noble thunder]

whats the spear with spikes on the sides called?

[sturdy jolt]

Does anyone have any tips on how to get better at the game? I'm having trouble with lower levels, mainly because you only need to get hit once with a weapon and you're dead. I know how to hit, but I'm just getting killed too quick, especially in the Peasant tier. I haven't found any detailed guides online for someone who already knows the controls, and etc. I'm fairly new to the game. I've only had the game for about two days.

[sturdy jolt]

I have a guide

[feral heart]

could you share it please?

[sturdy jolt]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfSword/comments/1pfci6w/a_comprehensive_guide_to_mastering_halfswords/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[feral heart]

Thanks man!

[sturdy jolt]

I would recommend installing half sword enhancer and enabling invincibility when practicing

[feral heart]

How does enhancer work?

[sturdy jolt]

You just download it and launch it, and it launches your game with the enhancer. You can also put it in the main directory of your game and it'll launch with the game every time

I think the default key to open it is insert, but I'm not too sure

[feral heart]

Alright, thanks a lot man!

[sturdy jolt]

No problem

[feral heart]

One more question, from which site do you recommend me to download enhancer

[sturdy jolt]

It's on nexus mods

[feral heart]

Thanks!

nice clip dude

[civic kindle]

The game crashes every time I try to run it, what to do

[civic kindle]

Wth 💀

[sturdy jolt]

You most likely have your directx version set to DX12

If you can't open the game at all, you'll need to change it in the files

[civic kindle]

How do I change it and what do I change it to?

[civic kindle]

No The game opens without the enhancer but the second I start the enhancer it crashes

[sturdy jolt]

Oh I see

Then you won't need that

In display settings, try turning directx to DX11

DX12 often causes instability issues

[civic kindle]

I don't see anything that says DX11, I am new to pc ;-;

[sturdy jolt]

It's in the game

[civic kindle]

Ohh

Ok lemme check

It's on DX11

[edgy nest]

Those candle things

[civic kindle]

Bro is already ready for pvp 😭

[sturdy jolt]

https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/26

This is what you installed right?

[echo terrace]

does fps affect aim

my aim is always shit and my fps is also always shit

[civic kindle]

Well it worked for a few minutes which gave me enough time to finally become the baron but now it keeps crashing again 🙂

[sturdy jolt]

Yes

It effects the physics, and you can't aim faster than your body can move

[echo terrace]

they should add guns to this game

[civic kindle]

....

Definitely doable by a mod but they surely won't add it on the base game 💀

[weak osprey]

I think they are adding firearms to this game

[echo terrace]

maybe as a dlc

or a easter egg

[civic kindle]

Could be but firearms can't really exist in this era the game is based on? Leave sekiro's Isshin, he just uses american breathing

[sturdy jolt]

Guns are actually on the table for half sword

Not even as an easter egg

Gunpowder did exist at the time

[weak osprey]

Incorrect, there were already firearms in this games era

[sturdy jolt]

It'll be a 'gun'

[weak osprey]

Arquebus is an example

[civic kindle]

Like the basic ones right?

[weak osprey]

what

[civic kindle]

We should get to shoot cannon balls ngl

[weak osprey]

We def will

[civic kindle]

Am uninstalling this thing is unplayable it keeps crashing

[weak osprey]

The real willie still plays thru crashes

[civic kindle]

It crashes before I get to to even hold my weapon 🙂

[weak osprey]

The game hates ye

[sturdy jolt]

Cannons are confirmed

There's even a video of the cannon shooting in #announcements

[civic kindle]

Now that sounds fun

[white trail]

wobba

[queen heath]

yayyyyy

[winter wasp]

Handgonne's like in KCD II could be on the table as well

Also, man.

I haven't sent a message in this channel a big while.

What's everyone up to?

[sturdy jolt]

This

[winter wasp]

I see Willie's discovered Schizophrenia.

he looks like he's winning

i would say i've made him blind, but the way he just walked into that makes me rethink my choice of words.

[sturdy jolt]

That's not blind, that's suicidal

[winter wasp]

gave willie a little nudge

[small glen]

I fucking love that thing, don't bully it.

It has the range of a long sword and the damage of the farming knife lmfao

[sturdy jolt]

This has to be the cleanest punch in half sword history

[small glen]

You need to rly hit people to do anything

[winter wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/let-the-bodies-hit-the-floor-whispering-gif-14550592

step into the punch, him moving forwards as you punched him, actually perfect.

[small glen]

Repost, rah

[winter wasp]

and the satisfying blood spatter

reminded me of when spins were hella OP back in the earlier demo's

nice clip

HEAVILY Compressed though, had to rewatch it a little to see what was going on clearly

[sturdy jolt]

I turned off lock and started doing spins and it made me like 10 times better

[small glen]

Thanks, me, Johnhalfsword, and Runky have a bunch of this shit

[winter wasp]

Oh, same here, i used to make spins a part of my playstyle, i sometimes still subconsciously do them, lmao

would love to see more, if you've got any

i'm going to go look for some myself

[winter wasp]

I actually ought to try that, thanks

[small glen]

Some of our spins are so fast that it makes it look like we just teleport sometimes

[winter wasp]

forgot about lock

[sturdy jolt]

No mercy for willie

[small glen]

Yes

Join the high dpi gang

[winter wasp]

Now that

is amazing

[sturdy jolt]

I get the benefit of high and low DPI, I use gyro and a trackpad

[winter wasp]

love bullying the lad

[winter wasp]

here

spin kicks were so op

loved

they kinda still are, just harder to hit though

[small glen]

Lit

[small glen]

Repost, this one was just cool tbh

[winter wasp]

That's definetly something i've never seen before

big rep

how long were you trying to do that move?

[sturdy jolt]

Those clips are awesome

[winter wasp]

Thanks 🍻

[small glen]

I did it first try the match before this one, but i didn't clip it.

This one was the 2nd try

[winter wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/good-vicar-fackham-hall-awesome-jimmy-carr-gif-9015712764012936156

[winter wasp]

b r o

I had to turn up my sound for that death strike

juicy

Man, i can't find this one clip

a bud of mine, "insert_hamster", had a clip where he climbed onto a guy and took his brains out with a kick

HS History

[sturdy jolt]

All of a sudden I'm hitting the most perfect kicks and punches. Turns out staying up all night playing half sword for like 8 hours straight can improve your skill

[winter wasp]

d a, i agree

[sturdy jolt]

Turning off lock was like a turning point, it's crazy how much my gameplay changed after I did that

[winter wasp]

whenever i'm rusty, i just dedicate half my day to playing half-sword

usually gets it off

[sturdy jolt]

I think I saw that

[winter wasp]

I usually just switch inbetween then, for certain techiques, never really tried to play without though

i do bet it's amazing for kicks though

i usually play T3 Longsword

[sturdy jolt]

I find it easier and more fun to parry without it on

I always play T3 longsword too

[winter wasp]

+Rep

[sturdy jolt]

It's not even fair

[sturdy jolt]

It's a neat workaround for autoparry

[winter wasp]

feels odd so far with it off, but i'll try to get used to it and get back to you on my personal experience

[winter wasp]

Clean

just cleavin' through

[winter wasp]

it disables or minimises it?

[sturdy jolt]

Basically taking the inner position where the autoparry functions is optional.

[sturdy jolt]

In this clip I didn't use that position at all really

[winter wasp]

interesting

wonder how i've never thought to dabble with the lock-on so far

better late than never though

[sturdy jolt]

I thought I'd give it a shot and then it just massively increased my skill and understanding of the game

I was not hitting clips like that before

It might be more difficult for a keyboard and mouse user

I play on controller

[small glen]

I play with lock on but like a lot of my clips are me just somehow not locking on lol, repost

[sturdy jolt]

Can't lock on if you're spinning

Insane pommel strike

[winter wasp]

So far, i'm seeing that it often puts me into a position where i'm almost with my back to the enemy, or to the side of him, which in turn makes it so that it is harder for me to hit him.

I often default to spinning when in one of those positions, and that causes me to be left off-guard.

[sturdy jolt]

Yeah, it's not very mouse friendly

[winter wasp]

sadly so

[winter wasp]

fucking hell, bro.

[sturdy jolt]

I use the trackpad for camera movement and gyro for weapon movement

[winter wasp]

hit him with the crossguard by the way

[sturdy jolt]

Oh, so it did

Still cool

[winter wasp]

100%

[fallen vault]

Why is it so hard to talk to people in this server 😭

Everytime I say something I am talking to myself

[sturdy jolt]

I'm like a superhero

[fallen vault]

That was clean ngl

[sturdy jolt]

That's just discord, people tend to just not respond

[autumn meadow]

they nerfed spin kicks but they were so fun and funnu

[sturdy jolt]

Spin kicks are still crazy powerful. You can launch people across the map with them still

Just takes more skill

[winter wasp]

Your messages so far don't seem the most inviting to conversation, from what i see.

They're mostly just statements, without much to build on.

[autumn meadow]

wonder if this game will be like swords and sandals where you start with nothing and work up by earning money and buying stuff

[winter wasp]

but they are just your first messaages

i'm sure if you talk more, you will get talked to more often

[winter wasp]

Oh yeah, that does seem where it's heading so far

actual interesting comparison

never thought of that comparison

[autumn meadow]

going to be honest it isnt my comparison i heard someone saying maybe they will add swords and sandals mechanics

i havent thought of that game for almost 15 years

[winter wasp]

actual bayblade

[winter wasp]

reminded me of so many old games rn

[sturdy jolt]

There will be shops and NPCs

[autumn meadow]

ooh so it will be like that

i actually really like that

[queen heath]

I’m a bit of bum… Do me no harm but let me live

[lone knoll]

I’m so excited for early access icl

Really all I want is bite and Mordschlag and I’ll be happy

[autumn meadow]

i hate when you dodge a spear slash his arm and it somehow then stabs you in the leg

[winter wasp]

plot armor

[lone knoll]

Is there any historical precedence in using a long sword to kinda bear hug an armoured opponent and either take them down or saw under their arm or their neck?

[autumn meadow]

yes

essentially one of the only ways to defeat another knight in medieval times if you didnt have a pole arm

[small glen]

Sort of

Multiple gamemodes from what it seems

The purchasing stuff seems to be a improved gauntlet

[small glen]

Mordschlag:

[autumn meadow]

i some how slit the barons throat with the bill hook

[small glen]

Bear hugging? Nah. Half swording was used to get underneath cracks and crevices, Mordschlag is being added in the ea. It's where you flip the sword and use it as a blunt weapon

[autumn meadow]

i did say one of

[lone knoll]

Oh okay perfect, it worked really well in half sword and I didn’t know if it was real.
When you manage to get that bear hug and pin their arms the fight feels basically won

[small glen]

1410, France.

Here some Mordschlag examples through art

[lone knoll]

I’m excited for that

[pearl iron]

Hi

[pearl iron]

whats the farthest yall made it throughout the demo?

[small glen]

Tho

[lone knoll]

Was something like this ever done?

[small glen]

No

But similar

Half swording was used to also throw opponents

[autumn meadow]

helmet and gauntlets is one of my favorite weapon combos in spoilance

[small glen]

Which if you know how to do it

You can do that in the game by doing that

[lone knoll]

I found the secret is letting go of the mouse button and moving the whole character

When you get the sword in the right position

[pearl iron]

whats the farthest yall made it throughout the demo?

[frozen wagon]

Christmas spirit, gift to me a set of armor and a blade, for I intend to take vengeance upon mein enemies

[small glen]

But generally, half swording was used to get the sword under small cracks and crevices

Armpits

Groin

Neck

Those were the aiming spots

[lone knoll]

From my understanding half swording was used to essentially make it a tiny stabbing weapon

[small glen]

Pretty much

And smash them with the back

[autumn meadow]

it was used as a more controlled stabbing method for the small gaps in armor

[small glen]

But a lot of depictions of medieval knights dying

[lone knoll]

Was it ever used more as a grappling tool? Like how police use batons

[small glen]

Is being killed with a dagger

[small glen]

Sometimes

[lone knoll]

Weren’t most knights not killed and mostly sold for ransom

[golden ether]

so...i don't think necks are supposed to do that.

[small glen]

A lot of them were in duels

[lone knoll]

Happened to me irl lmao

[small glen]

And combat

[autumn meadow]

heat exhaustion and getting knocked unconscious is what happened to most knights

[pearl iron]

whats the farthest yall made it throughout the demo?

[golden ether]

we talking gauntlet or abyss?

[small glen]

Finished it

[autumn meadow]

i have beat the ultimate challege three times now

[lone knoll]

How easy was it to take bits of armour off? And what bits would you take off first if you got too hot

[pearl iron]

what is the ultimate challenge

[pearl iron]

how did youbeat third boss?

[lone knoll]

I almost beat the ultimate challenge

I lost to the fuckin fatal error when I was fighting the baron

[small glen]

You required a second person

To take it all off

[autumn meadow]

so in reality putting on a suit of armor is a 2 person job

[golden ether]

hence why they had squires

[small glen]

Knights had someone caled a Squire

[autumn meadow]

as well as taking it off

[small glen]

This

BUT

Taking the helmet off was easy

[golden ether]

the squires would help putting the armour on, taking it off, helping the knight stand

[signal wedge]

Do the bugshaker

[white trail]

wobba

[lone knoll]

How common were sabots for non Calvary knights?

[autumn meadow]

yeah but it was unnecessary as most had a flap to reveal the face

[lone knoll]

Like the shoes

[small glen]

Some knights had a rope attached to them to take the helmet off

[small glen]

Not true

We see examples of them with this rope

To take it off

And have it on the back and easy to put on

[lone knoll]

2003 clone wars style for the second pic lmao

I used to think that the eye slit was the main thing you needed to worry about as a knight, but in half sword i don’t think I’ve ever been stabbed through it

[small glen]

I would say it's rarity is a bit unknown

A lot of art shows knights and infantry

With just basic leather shoes

[golden ether]

to an extent i'd understand why shoes would likely be worn over sabatons

if im going into a scrap, i'd rather wear lighter shoes

[small glen]

But that doesn't mean it was uncommon for soldiers to wear sabatons

[fallen vault]

Lmao yeah you right, I need to work on that cause I do love this server

[small glen]

As we see here, the men on the siege wagon have sab

So if i had to assume? Maybe it depended

But that could also just be up to how much money they had

And what the military they fought under equipped them with

[small glen]

eyeslits was a way to kill knights

[autumn meadow]

extremely difficult and very rarely ever happened

[small glen]

but some bascinet face covers stuck out to likely avoid this

[autumn meadow]

im getting better at capitalizing on bad swings

[small glen]

and trust me, getting to the position to get a knife through it was hard

[autumn meadow]

in reality what killed the few knights that did die while fully armored was under the armpit or blunt force trauma

[small glen]

*groin

sadly

getting stabbed in the bawls was common for a knight

[autumn meadow]

or guns when they finally were good enough to not shoot the neighbors horse when you were facing the opposite direction

its why we went from walking tanks to fancy dresses

[small glen]

Soon as Revolvers and semi auto handguns were basically mainstream

[autumn meadow]

no just when those mini cannons people were making in one battle an expert general leading an army of over 100 fully armored knights lost to some guys with those mini cannon guns you can find in KCD2

[golden ether]

also, and this is the important part

are we talking semi automatics or revolvers

[winter wasp]

Duck and dismember.

Repost from May 4th

[autumn meadow]

revolvers were first and at the time was the biggest innovation for guns

[golden ether]

okay, cause with the way you worded it we where looking at 100 or so years

[small glen]

Samurai trying to 1000v500 black powder rifles 😭

[golden ether]

if i remember correctly, there where samurai who actually used black powder rifles

they fuckin loved them

[small glen]

yeah

but some samurai clans didn't

[golden ether]

and those samurai clans where at a major disadvantage

[winter wasp]

Epic Takedown, sire.

[autumn meadow]

you have to remember guns are an old technology the first essentially handheld gun was invented in the 12th century

[small glen]

Imperial Japanese Army vs Samurai

[autumn meadow]

coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb

[golden ether]

i see this, i hear you, and i raise you japanese city vs atom bomb

[small glen]

they even did a Banzai charge

[golden ether]

you gotta do a banzai charge

its the done thing

[autumn meadow]

Tokyo vs Maj. Gen. Curtis LeMay

[small glen]

it was actually pretty tough doe

the last remaining samurai did a banzai charge

[twin belfry]

i used to get 160 fps on epic settings last month now i get around 40-50, is there some sort of upd or is it just my pc? 😭

[autumn meadow]

willie is trying to gain sentience so hes using more resources let him be

[golden ether]

let the man better himself damn it!

[small glen]

@autumn meadow Oh yeah, wanna know how badly of a ass kick this was?

30,000 IJA vs 500 samurai

all 500 samurai were killed

only 30 IJA died

[golden ether]

that wasnt a war, that was a massacre

[autumn meadow]

never heard about that fight but i do remember hearing about how badly samurai were getting their ass handed to them after the dutch gave them guns

and thats why they were saying we should ban guns until the shogun i think got assassinated

[small glen]

Battle of Shiroyama

[autumn meadow]

is that the battle the shogunate got massacred or the 500 samurai

[small glen]

500 samurai

[turbid summit]

i prefer to have mercy on my opponents, and the voicelines are tuff too

"Too much has been lost, why losen more?"

[autumn meadow]

when they piss me off by like stabbing me 3 times i kill them but most of the time i let them live

[whole marsh]

What gain is there in bloodshed, twix us?

[turbid summit]

We must shapen our swerds in honor

[whole marsh]

sheathen?

not shame

[turbid summit]

I dont know old english

[whole marsh]

Me neither tbh

old russian was a bit easier

[autumn meadow]

fun fact ye olde bar in old english is the old bar

[turbid summit]

i translated sheathen a few times between my own language and English and got "The vagina"

[whole marsh]

Englishman says pub

not a real one...

[autumn meadow]

it was an example

[whole marsh]

Probably some poser who stirs their tea by circling

not paddling

[small glen]

i stir my tea with my tongue

[whole marsh]

freak level 1446

[autumn meadow]

tongue? i use my toe

also i put the willies down if they have no chance of living and are just on the ground choking on their own blood

[whole marsh]

I hope weapon throwing gets improved in EA

could be cool

i really hate the sparkle effects we saw in a video showcase

like feels excessive for 99%

cause metal doesn't make SPARKS

even the tiniest chips wont burn to friction

[autumn meadow]

rule of cool man

[small glen]

they are nerfing swords anyways

[autumn meadow]

in terms of sparks or affectiveness against armor

[small glen]

against armor

you can no longer bonk

as it will break the sword

[autumn meadow]

cringe

[small glen]

thats what i heard anyways

[autumn meadow]

sure dulling but full on breaking

do you think he gives up

[arctic falcon]

i noticed that in one update beggars have shirts but not pnats

and in the other vise versa

pants but not shirts

[autumn meadow]

i always kill pitchfork willies i hate them

[bold pendant]

Pitchfork is hard. I try to knock it aside and then rush in, but I suck at it.

Doesn't help that the AI is super good at keeping the spears in your face.

[autumn meadow]

3 swings 3 kills

what de fuck

how spiders see

[autumn meadow]

i hate pitchforks in the abyss i just had one sneak up on me and some how snap my neck

[rare hearth]

vr halfsword

[hasty bloom]

easily my best first person kill

[small glen]

bro i just dropped kicked someone and it was hilarious

As long as blood is splattering

Why is beating gauntlet so hard fr

[static sierra]

Why are these videos allowed in the chat room? I'm not sure why this server even has game footage and photography rooms, when the hf chat is full of videos and pictures.

[weak osprey]

issue

[bold pendant]

It isn't the easiest thing in the world. Keep trying, and you will get it eventually.

[soft osprey]

You’re asking why clips of halfsword are allowed in halfsword chat?

[hasty bloom]

also there's slo-mode in the other chats so if people wanna send multiple clips and have the perms, here is good as any

[static sierra]

Yes. Chat is usually for chatting on discord servers. Media is put on other rooms.

[soft osprey]

You literally have 3 messages total including this one. Why does it matter to you in the first place?

You’ve been here since September

[weak osprey]

Smooth movements man

[quiet cairn]

If i beat the game is it where if i play i go thru and battle people with dif weapons like armored

Like a after gamemode

Ok

[soft osprey]

You go through the gauntlet, then the ultimate challenge is the nonstop fight

[winter wasp]

wsp, my broskies?

my dear chaps.

[weak osprey]

Gello sandrirmer or something

[static sierra]

Wtf? What does this matter? I like to read the chat and conversation. I don't want to watch clips of people playing the game.

[weak osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/skull-skull-emoji-blade-and-soccery-funny-what-gif-3364278535351935873

then get out of half sword chat!

[soft osprey]

Because you go into a discord server that you literally don’t interact with, just to complain about people posting clips in the chats you dont chat in? Tf you mean what does it matter?

I sense that for every word that Mr Finland writes, i sadly lose capacity to brain.

[soft osprey]

And your capacity was never huge to begin with so it’s extra tough

[quiet cairn]

Is playing with controller bad?

[sleek gull]

@static sierra just needs to get in the groove

[soft osprey]

Thats actually not allowed

[weak osprey]

TomOfFinland I must guess you just randomly stumbled upon this server and never understood of how it works

[winter wasp]

guess i got caught in the crossfire
