Militia with a spiked spear is actually incredibly strong

[weak star]

xd goodluck i recomend pitchfork or axe but do what u like

[idle ocean]

bruh i unlocked it before but kept playing as a beggar so didnt have a weapon

[weak star]

spiked spear best weapon in the game

[cosmic stratus]

That would be nice. Since I like to try and weave through strikes to hit hands. But kinda hard when your set-up suddenly jerks because the braincells willie is using to control the autoparry isn't in sync with you.

im playing the playtest

im going to record

[soft cape]

i can't wait till there's crowd so i can accidently decapitate a bystander with an off-throw

like a crowd chanting and cheering in the stands

like standing behind the wooden fence

[novel temple]

[white trail]

[steep pasture]

i get fatal errors every time in ultimate challenge,is there any fix about that?

[soft cape]

put blood slider to the minimum

[steep pasture]

ok i'll try this

[ember zephyr]

willie dimension

[soft cape]

this is what i mean but npc's that dont attack they just yell coward and throw their hands in the air

[ember zephyr]

i threw a guy's hammer over the fence and the enemy stood at the fence, turned around and saw me, fell over and got knocked out by a post

iq of about 6

[steep pasture]

hey man

[dim sierra]

hello
Have you video when you kill the man at arms

[hollow delta]

Somebody free my mans hes been trying this for 2 weeks now

[soft cape]

unpopular opinion - moist critical is over rated

another controversial take i only got into watching caseoh for his halfsword videos

[steep pasture]

i dont know why but the thumbnail looks funny

its like wide cs2

[soft cape]

is it just me or were you able to bash someones skull into literal pieces in the playtest but i cant in the demo?

i hope they bring that explosiveness back

[echo terrace]

https://youtu.be/iSDYinieoDg?t=2756 😭😂😂

[shell bronze]

he has milquetoast/common sense "hot takes"

cant deny he's a cool guy though, i live in his area and have met him several times before

at the goth club we both go to

[small glen]

got nicked twice but meh, still a funny kick

[small glen]

Tampa is small doe, bit a be careful with what you say brodi

[shell bronze]

nah son i'm tampa bay

could mean anywhere in that 2h radius

maybe even 3 if you count sarasota

[small glen]

ik but still, just giving you a lil warning

[shell bronze]

bro thinks i care about my location being known 😂

[small glen]

maces are corny

death to maces

[shell bronze]

i proudly fly the flag of tampa bay all the time it's literally nothing new

[small glen]

friendly fire.

[covert jungle]

how to find halfsword screenshots

[small glen]

#photography📷

[covert jungle]

i mean how do i get them out of the in game folder and able to be taken into discord

i cant find them in the files

[small glen]

oh idk, i just use the basic windows screenshot function

[covert jungle]

🙁

[shell bronze]

it's in steam iirc

check steam folders for half sword demo

[covert jungle]

oh

very cool

thank you

[covert jungle]

for some reason the hundreds of screenshots that i have taken with the half sword camera are horribly pixelated and downgraded to where you cant even make out details

nevermind, there are two file locations and one of them has quality

[shell bronze]

i was about to say

enjoy

[covert jungle]

yuh

[radiant glacier]

watching his gameplay is like those mobile game ads where they play bad on purpose to get you to install it yourself

[scarlet storm]

how do i use the knight class (3rd one) and go against 4 npcs

instead of 1v1

[humble iris]

_ _

[normal idol]

theres a brave stand option

1/3 chance on 2 point rounds

or theres mods you can use

[scarlet storm]

what mods?

i use half sword enhancer but theres no option on it

[humble iris]

you can spawn people

[scarlet storm]

but i dont feel like doin it everytime

[humble iris]

then play as the tiers that have brave stand!!

[scarlet storm]

but i want the knight specifically

[rare hearth]

which start from the 6th tier

[scarlet storm]

yea ik

but i want the knight specifcally

the 3rd tier

[rare hearth]

carnage or spoilance, otherwise not possible

[humble iris]

commoner?

[tulip sentinel]

You guys know what you really gotta try out?

[humble iris]

thats not a knight

[scarlet storm]

ik but its what i call it

[humble iris]

and yes they only have spoilance and carnage

[scarlet storm]

ik but i saw a yt vid of someone doing it

[normal idol]

you can bind spawning enemies to a key!

i use j to spawn enemies

[humble iris]

probably them spawning people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

because as far as i know, only a select few tiers are capable of having brave stand

and those ones are the ones with armor

[rare hearth]

6th and above

[humble iris]

yes

[rare hearth]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[analog zenith]

right on point

[manic cradle]

wiggly worm

[normal idol]

okay so use half sword enhancer and you can literally bind spawning an enemy to a key

it can't get any simpler than that

press one key and you have a new enemy

[humble iris]

yes i told him that!

[normal idol]

and you don't even need the enhancer mod menu open

oh sorry i thought it was you

my bad

[humble iris]

oh

its fine

[manic cradle]

is paralysis real

[main notch]

Is the forge mode that comes out for this supposed to represent the ability to draw your own blade shapes and stuff?

hahaha xD

[rare hearth]

which

[main notch]

I saw it on the calendar for the game. ^^

some kindof weapon forging system

[small glen]

this?

[rare hearth]

i assume he means

#work-in-progress message

[main notch]

lemme watch

having a looksie

I think thats the system

[rare hearth]

and no, u can only choose from a set number of shapes

[main notch]

No worries, I guess that saves us from having a sword as thin as fishing line

The creativity started running rampant by thinking of different sword shapes

[small glen]

I am pretty sure that bevor is padded

[main notch]

oh HELL yeah I think it is too

[burnt quiver]

have you always been able to knock off knight's helmets in gauntlet?

i just did and never have done that before

[burnt quiver]

like i smacked a guy and then his helmet came off and i was able to pick it up and switch my helmet with his

he was still alive after that too

[viral abyss]

How are you supposed to use the pitchfork 💔

[sleek gull]

put the pointy end in the enemy

[viral abyss]

I get what u mean

But i cant do it, if i try to charge towards them, i cant put enough force in my strike to actually deal lethal damage

[burnt quiver]

hold left click and alt and then move your mouse forward and backward with it

goes in to thrust mode and stuff and makes it a lot easier to use

[burnt quiver]

(left alt to be clear)

[viral abyss]

Wait whay

Are there more controls than space, G, F and the mouse buttons 💔

[burnt quiver]

yeah

[rare hearth]

v to switch hands, double click to thrust, alt to thrust

when using polearms, pressing v is adviced

[viral abyss]

...

[whole axle]

For the pitchfork especially I like holding both the left and right click along with alt, especially against Willies with shorter reach weapons, I find it helps with the accuracy of the stabs and you can usually get them in the chest or face and end the fight then and there

[craggy cypress]

Double click to thrust? Wait really? How does that work?

[manic cradle]

isnt it x to switch hands

[rare hearth]

double click left mouse button and hold it on the second click

[craggy cypress]

Neat

[rare hearth]

OH RIGHT

sorry

[manic cradle]

dude dont yell at me im scared

[rare hearth]

[final kernel]

beans

[rare hearth]

its x to switch hands, sorry

[burnt quiver]

it's accurate but it gets easily deflected because it's willie fully extending both his arms but if you use the thrusting mode you get more control

[pearl ferry]

had to hit that for honor warden top guard left guard stance before doing it to him

[analog zenith]

you guys know there is another studio trying to copy exactly what you guys are doing

[burnt quiver]

i prefer the thrusting mode most of the time but it's preference

[rare hearth]

yeah i love how theyre both slightly different

btw

[pearl ferry]

that stab is kinda sick

[rare hearth]

u can move your mouse

[pearl ferry]

i wanna try doing it now

[rare hearth]

with doube click thrusting

though

moving it too much unthrusts

i think

[burnt quiver]

i kind of wish this sort of stuff was mentioned in a tutorial section or something

[rare hearth]

not sure

[burnt quiver]

whenever they do end up releasing another demo/update/full release

[pearl ferry]

probably when early access comes out it'll have a more fleshed out tutorial

[rare hearth]

it was but it got removed probably accidentally

[burnt quiver]

i never remember left alt for thrusting being in the tutorial i only found out a few days ago because of moist critical 😭

i might have missed it though i could see that being something i would do

[pearl ferry]

i dont even know wtf i did there imma be honest

[manic cradle]

i cant tell how many of my kills were luck or skill

[manic cradle]

he used to roll the dice

[whole axle]

That’s how I feel with every long sword duel, I either get sliced in twain or snipe their neck, there is no in between

[pearl ferry]

once you play enough you eventually start to realize a lot of the whys but theres some funk to it

[rapid pond]

Btw clue, how do you get so much recordings ? Do you like use the background 3 hour recording thing from steam or take a new recording for each games ?

[manic cradle]

instead of recording draw your fights from memory

[formal lodge]

can sombody explain me how the demo only has 2.6 GB?

[shell bronze]

the background buffer is what i use

[small glen]

its thanos

[shell bronze]

how cute is this?

[rapid pond]

Steam's background buffer ? I need to turn that on that thing is usefull

[pearl ferry]

me and bestie ❤️

[small glen]

ignore the leg

[stone oracle]

Should I try halfsword?

I have a old PC

[shell bronze]

what's halfsword idk what that is

[stone oracle]

:(

[small glen]

must be a scam

he should be banned

[zenith ibex]

I think I enjoy watching armor fights more than playing them

I love getting on and just playing through the first like 4 tiers of the gauntlet then I reset it

[tawdry vale]

Veteran is my limit, Man at Arms and Knight are just a war of attrition I hardly have time for

[zenith ibex]

Yeah they take way too long when I’m just trying to get a few games in

[shell bronze]

man at arms is joy

[zenith ibex]

Clean swings

[tawdry vale]

Depends if I get a poleaxe or not.

it helps to disorient the other guy first

oh my right arm will be stronger

[fickle kiln]

i love using the pitchfork as a blunt weapon, a good smack to the arm, head, or legs really slows down the ai and can set up for an easy stab or just another hit to the head to knock em out

[small glen]

my new loadout is dope

[mighty remnant]

Does a lower mouse sensitivity help with this?

[wind charm]

I'm looking through my clip folder for my tutorial and found this clip, I think you'll like it

[atomic stump]

for me it does but each person has their own prefrence

[mighty remnant]

that was clean

[jolly gorge]

You can learn different things from trying different sensitivities in general

[fickle kiln]

i think so, even after lowering my sensitivity i tend to overshoot when trying to block and end up raising my hands too high or low and get myself cut in half or beheaded

[small glen]

NO SAM!

[fickle kiln]

hell yeah

boys will see this and say hell yeah

[small glen]

u fuck with the new fit?

Cleanest use of headbutting in combat

[small glen]

is it funny that like every time i land a headbutt

i only did it once on purpose

[warped apex]

it's rare that I'm close enough to be in smooching distance to get them

[void condor]

i really want to know if there will be multiplayer later

[blazing gull]

eventually

[small glen]

nope

[ruby glade]

Okay

Is your character randomly fucking letting go intended

[vague wasp]

pole

[hoary temple]

what pole

[vague wasp]

any pole

[drowsy sluice]

Pole arms

[minor tangle]

Spike pole best

[vague wasp]

beat him into submission and pray to god the game doesnt crash

[cerulean stratus]

i hope they will make their game in VR cuz it would be awesome expirience

[hoary temple]

dude i disarmed him he pulled out the longest sword ever and ripped me in half

( even when cheating a bit )

[vague wasp]

yeah his poleaxe thing is so unwieldy you want to keep him using it

if he pulls the sword out its basically game over

[hoary temple]

true

my question, will this take me all night OR all week

[drowsy sluice]

Week

Definitely week

[hoary temple]

im cooked

[drowsy sluice]

Good luck

Willliespeed

[hoary temple]

thanks

[vague wasp]

if you want to beat it quick you could maximise damage for npcs, minimise it for yourself, and just rush in with a blunt weapon

[hoary temple]

so i expect everyone here beat him ages ago?

[drowsy sluice]

I cheated immensely

But yeah

[hoary temple]

thats what i did but bro cut through my armor

bs

[drowsy sluice]

That happens sometimes

The physics can be jank

[hoary temple]

plus idk if its me or the game but i am insanely slow

[drowsy sluice]

Turn up send

*sens

And F key goes into slo mo

[vague wasp]

yeah sometimes the game decides “and now you die” before turning your solid steel plate armour into tap water

[drowsy sluice]

Facts

[hoary temple]

it was fine before last tier but i swing with 0 force even if i swing my mouse across the room

[mighty remnant]

thank you

[hoary temple]

dude i kept dying accidently to the first couple of bosses

[drowsy sluice]

You violated bro 😭

[hoary temple]

like i chop them, they twist in pain and blade just runs into me gently

[drowsy sluice]

Back off once they cry out

They have pretty low pan tolerance, Helmet head especially

[mighty remnant]

the first bosses are wayy unbalanced

[hoary temple]

they are fine the blades just go into my body even if they didnt swing it at me

[mighty remnant]

but the beggar boss was easier when i focused on getting the knife

middle of arena

[hoary temple]

also recently ive been one shotted from a tiny cut EVERYTIME

like 20 times in a row i die to nothing

[fickle kiln]

buckler >

[drowsy sluice]

Lower player damage setting

@hoary temple

[obsidian fog]

They hit an artery -> you bleed out

[hoary temple]

id rather not cheat for everything else than final boss

[drowsy sluice]

Fair

[vague wasp]

i have a tendency to get split in half from paper cuts for some reason

[hoary temple]

what artery? my skin?

[drowsy sluice]

Nd there are some bad bleed cut spots

[obsidian fog]

no, the blood vessel beneath it

[hoary temple]

in the abdomen if you get a good swing i get it but i deadass be dying to papercuts

[drowsy sluice]

The Willies are very anatomically correct

Wrong place wrong time for the cuts honestly

[obsidian fog]

dude you can very easily bleed out if you get a deep cut on any limb.... like irl

[drowsy sluice]

The cuts can be small but deep

[obsidian fog]

simulated body

[hoary temple]

??

[drowsy sluice]

It’s hard to gauge

[small glen]

love not trying against a mace

[hoary temple]

ok for the pole thing you need something blunt or sharp

[drowsy sluice]

For baron?

[hoary temple]

yes

[drowsy sluice]

Do blunt to smash armor

[obsidian fog]

or smash skulls!

[drowsy sluice]

True

But harder to hit

[hoary temple]

dude the guy is like 7 feet tall

[warped apex]

@small glen

[hoary temple]

and even if it should knock him out hes obv not gonna

[fickle kiln]

something blunt to either rock him and slow him down or to smash his right arm and make his attacks less effective >

[small glen]

it would be funny if it landed on his head and knocked him out

[drowsy sluice]

This

And limbs are very breakable

[hoary temple]

ok ill try

[drowsy sluice]

You could also hit him in the legs to knock him down or the balls to drop him quick

[fickle kiln]

yeah, he's really tanky. You gotta play real patient though and not try to rush in too much. Once you unlock him you'll really start to understand how powerful he is, setting the damage to NPCs to the minimum value and still knocking guys out in 1-2 hits with his poleaxe

[drowsy sluice]

This

[hoary temple]

prolly built for that

[drowsy sluice]

A good hit to the head will mess any Willie up, but head hits on the baron are hard

[hoary temple]

idk if i can even reach that high

[drowsy sluice]

You could to the swing+alt trick for swords, but you could only use one hand and it’s still hard

Use the trick with a blunt object I mean

[hoary temple]

first ennemy got the farmer pole thingy

[drowsy sluice]

?

Pitchfork?

[hoary temple]

nah

[small glen]

Holy fuck this AI is just sad 😭 it fucking missed me

[hoary temple]

pole

[drowsy sluice]

That’s a pitchfork

Oar?

[small glen]

hoe?

[hoary temple]

idk the names

[drowsy sluice]

Ohhhhh

[hoary temple]

how do i open the steam thing again

in game

[drowsy sluice]

Shift alt for steam menu

Or shift tab

Sorry

[hoary temple]

ok thx

[fickle kiln]

yeah, any bosses are hard to KO because aiming punches that high is really iffy. weakening their arms or legs though can help to set up the situation you need to win. when they're hurt they tend to squat down which can make aiming the hit to the head easier

[hoary temple]

nvm i cant post pics

oh well

[small glen]

always the leg

[hoary temple]

wow i got cut in half by an axe

''small but deep cut''

[small glen]

here a funny little secret

certain weapons

can dismember easier than others

[broken vortex]

the baron is comically easy to disarm

[small glen]

axes are one of them

the axe doesn't need to rly hit you

[hoary temple]

i know

[broken vortex]

so my favorite strategy is just to make him drop that massive polearm of his and use it against him

[small glen]

all axe variants carry this same stat

[broken vortex]

bash him on the head with it

[small glen]

they can graze you

[hoary temple]

just have to touch the guy and poof

[small glen]

and you can lose a whole limb

[hoary temple]

no like my body got chopped in half

and bro didnt even swing lol

[bold pendant]

Who here spares their Willies?

[hoary temple]

@drowsy sluiceare spears alright?

[drowsy sluice]

So-so

They usually come with shields tho and shields aren’t very good imho

[fickle kiln]

Baron might also be easier to beat if you're mindful of what weapons you keep in your inventory. hold the grab button for whatever hand a weapon is in to sheathe it and then press r later to bring up a menu of all the stuff you have strapped to you. You can create a gameplan around weakening him with one weapon before switching to another that will make it easier to finish the fight

[hoary temple]

it was going well but i crashed

somehow

my game takes at last 2 mins to load

[tawdry vale]

The only shield I think is any good is the Tower Pavise Shield, and even then, Willie has such a poor grip on it that it only takes a mild tap to the head to get him to drop it. That goes for both player and AI Willie.

[fickle kiln]

The (punch shield?) and buckler I really like for boxing but overall I feel like it's more beneficial in the armored tiers to have like a 2 handed mace or any other blunt weapon, or even just using pommel strikes while halfswording up close

[soft cape]

i hate when willies give up in spoilance just because they didnt get a weapon right off the hop

[tawdry vale]

The "Punch Shield" I think you are talking about is the small Pavise Shield.

[fickle kiln]

happens a lot in the final challenge, i think its something to do with the blood and gore effects. Playing without blood and gore can help but i'd also turn the general graphics down as well to be safe

[soft cape]

and agreed im practicing my uppercuts rn

[fickle kiln]

yeah you're right thank you!

[hoary temple]

im at minimum in like every way

[soft cape]

just turn the blood slider down all the way everything else can stay the same

its athird party engine that they use for the blood they are working on a fix

[hoary temple]

also having 4 dudes with lotta armor makes it slow

[soft cape]

that's the same for me it's the fact that it's a physics engine and multiple assets need to load as well

[tawdry vale]

Turning down your graphics may help, but don't quote me on that.

[mighty nexus]

Jump to original message

[soft cape]

lolololololololololol

[hoary temple]

lol

[void condor]

what if...

E

[warped apex]

Average clip

\

[mighty remnant]

ok, i got to knight rank, now im nervous

i just wish i had a checkpoint

is there any way i could play the boss without losing the character?

[tawdry vale]

Make it to Baron

Your progress will save after you defeat the Knight Boss

I prefer the Poleaxe

[fickle kiln]

I think after beating the baron it gets reset though

[mighty remnant]

if i die and return to beggar level, my day will be ruined

maybe there is a save file or something that i can save a copy

[tawdry vale]

Unless the game updated underneath my nose.

[fickle kiln]

I hope in the full release you can run through the gauntlet in each individual class without resetting all progress if you lose, maybe unlocking that after beating the game fully

[mighty remnant]

can you send a picture of this weapon?

the long weapons are strange

[tawdry vale]

There’s also the polehammer, but it doesn’t really have as much surface area as the axe

[mighty remnant]

yeah i like this one too

already using it

[noble iron]

The pole hammer has a weird striking surface

[bold pendant]

I read that sparring with poleaxes is super dangerous because even with rubber ends and protective gear, you can still accidentally wallop the shit out of someone.

[tawdry vale]

Same can be said about every type of mace.

[noble iron]

Most polearms are hard to spar with safely

[tawdry vale]

I agree, you're still beating the piss and vinegar out of someone

[noble iron]

That and most don't have enough flex to be safe to thrust with

Even a wooden sword isn't safe to thrust with and those aren't 6 feet long

[hoary temple]

damn i was kinda beating him up but he had to knock me out smh

[ebon zealot]

I love maces so much

[mighty remnant]

it takes so long to win a fight in knight rank

[warped apex]

I've got redownload filmora because I refuse to buy another sub

[mighty remnant]

how do you move so fast?

[bold pendant]

Honestly, I use the giant halberd from the man at arms tier. It absolutely wrecks them.

[clear vapor]

i love half sword i cant wait to play it more when i get up from my bed :3

[mighty remnant]

but man at arms has a weaker armor, you don't mind the lower defense?

[sturdy jolt]

If you spin, you can do multiple movement inputs in the same direction, which allows you to move extra fast. Kicking before this gives you a boost

[bold pendant]

Halberd is so damn long that you can stay away. I also see the reduced armor as a bit of a bonus. The stamina penalty for armor is wayyyy too high

Also, the knights don't have very good weapons.

[cosmic stratus]

Honestly a closed helm should be the one that tanks your endurance. But not as much as it does currently imo.

[small glen]

no fucking way

did i just beat the sheathe throw record

[mighty remnant]

i agree

[mint cape]

why cant i play the demo rn 💔

[hoary temple]

omg i beat the baron

[mint cape]

when i load in i cant press any of the gore settings

[autumn meadow]

i like your control of the weapon looks like an actual person

[misty gazelle]

thanks!

[small glen]

i can't tell who threw further!!!

[autumn meadow]

mike tyson

[small glen]

i just turned my dumb shit levels up by like 10

[mighty remnant]

kung fu in half sword??

[mint cape]

has anyone had this problem

💔

[autumn meadow]

what problem?

[mint cape]

when i load in i cant press any of the gore settings to get into the game

[small glen]

I just knee'd the sword deeper into his

[mint cape]

sooo i cant even play

[autumn meadow]

whats your computer look like?

[mint cape]

i reinstalled it, restarted my pc

[mild zinc]

Smh get your blade through their neck

[mint cape]

uhhh one sec

[autumn meadow]

dont actually send a pic of it just some specs

[mint cape]

oh

idrk my uncle gave it to me

i’ve been playing the last couple weeks

it js now had this problem

[misty gazelle]

do you see a cursor or anything like that?

when you go to select

[mint cape]

when i click it pops up it goes away when i leave it alone

[autumn meadow]

easiest way is to go to task manager and going to the side bar and clicking the heartbeat looking thing

[misty gazelle]

could try tabbing in and out of the game and see if it resets something. I'm not sure

Never heard of that issue.

[mild zinc]

Not my footage btw, I found this in this discord

[mint cape]

it doesnt really let me tab out i have to close the game entirely idk half sword is weird

[small glen]

Oh wassup tcal

[bold pendant]

Man wasn't ready for the double buckler

[autumn meadow]

so youve done the basics of reinstall and restart have you tried verifying the integrity of game files?

[small glen]

magic

[mint cape]

how do i do that

[soft osprey]

You need to do a full clean reinstall

[lean niche]

Gore Selection BUG

Delete all files relating to Half Sword existing in your local files. Be sure to back up your screenshots folder if you took any!

Uninstall the Half Sword demo via Steam
Right click on Half Sword Demo in you steam library Manage>Uninstall

IMPORTANT

Press WIN+R then type %localappdata% hit Enter
Now Navigate to and Delete the HalfswordUE5 folder.

Finally, reinstall Half Sword Demo.

Please note Appdata is a hidden folder by default and you need to enable show hidden items in the file explorer.

[mint cape]

wym

i deleted it

[small glen]

wassup, why the name change?

[mint cape]

and reinstalled it

[soft osprey]

Follow the guide i just sent

[mint cape]

still got the problem

[autumn meadow]

oh they have an actual guide to fix

[soft osprey]

Thats not a clean reinstall

[mint cape]

oh shit thank you

im not really good w pc

js got this from my uncle like i said idrk what im doign

[mighty remnant]

alrighhhtttt i defeated knight boss

[mint cape]

idrk what the win button is

[soft osprey]

Go to your file explorer, press the view tab along the top, find hidden items and enable to show them, otherwise you won’t be able to get to appdata

[soft osprey]

Windows key

[autumn meadow]

windows

[soft osprey]

Next to spacebar

[mint cape]

oh ty

[small glen]

that happened like so quick

[soft osprey]

You can ping if you need further help

[mint cape]

how do i turn win lock off

it says its on on my keyboard

[soft osprey]

Pretty sure it’s fn + windows key

[mighty remnant]

what is the ultimate challenge?

[warped apex]

this is now way longer

I just need...

another 2 minutes of clips

[soft osprey]

After the gauntlet it’s a nonstop fight until you defeat the final boss. Enemies spawn in waves

You get gear they drop with RNG

[sturdy jolt]

Hello bug shaker

[mighty remnant]

basically abyss?

[small glen]

i was honestly going to parry him but i thought it would be funnier to just see what would happen

[soft osprey]

I’d say it’s harder, because it’s in the arena

But same idea in a way

[mighty remnant]

if i give up before i die, do i keep my rank progress?

[warped apex]

https://tenor.com/view/fifty-fifty-redd-foxx-fred-sanford-sanford-and-son-so-so-gif-17869387

[warped apex]

yes

[autumn meadow]

why does the halberd not cut like the other axe weapons

[warped apex]

in the first patch when it came out

if you died you lost all your progress

[mint cape]

youre the goat greyface tysm

[mighty remnant]

I really wont be doing all of this again, i just need to beat at least once

[mint cape]

im reinstalling it rn

[warped apex]

not to mention they only had maces & spears

[sturdy jolt]

If you give up you lose one point

[autumn meadow]

the axe part is just used like a hammer essentially

[sturdy jolt]

You lose how many points you would've gained from the match

[mighty remnant]

its about the ultimate challenge

[warped apex]

I've beaten the ultimate challenge 140 times

[misty gazelle]

It can cut, just not well, lol

[sturdy jolt]

Oh I see

[warped apex]

I haven't touched it, In forever

[mighty remnant]

but how do you have so much control if its not VR?

[warped apex]

@mighty remnant

yes

[mighty remnant]

i didnt even know that this game had a first person view until your videos

[warped apex]

https://tenor.com/view/bullish-crypto-hype-i-want-more-lets-do-this-gif-1852269844701917269

it needs more effects

[mighty remnant]

at least the baron rank gives me a gold armor and makes me taller than the other knights, in free mode

[autumn meadow]

i honestly hate that them having a sword is 1000x scarier then any other weapon if your in heavy armour

[wide nimbus]

???

[misty gazelle]

:)

[autumn meadow]

how do i make willie stop caring about his cut off hand and use the other one that still works

he is being chased and will be killed if he wont stop crying

nvm he died like a little coward

[wicked plover]

arm extentions

LOL THE BOT SWUNG ITS ARM SO HARD INTO THE FENCE IT SNAPED

[mighty remnant]

i like being tall in this game

i just beat a knight with my bare hands

no armor

[mighty remnant]

beautiful

[runic jasper]

how pls i wanna do this

[misty gazelle]

get axe
find an evil willie
Dismember him
grab evil willie
paint

[wicked plover]

what do yall think

[small glen]

chat, this game is easy

[autumn meadow]

wonder if there will be a mercy system in this game where the more opponents you beat and that you let live the more likely a obviously bested opponent will attempt to give up but the more you kill opponents that give up the more likely theyll keep fighting till the last

[warped apex]

I may have added too many effects

I will need an opinion on it

I may actually slow down some more tosses and add more chromatic aberration to them

[buoyant ravine]

the way i agressively backed into the other guy causing him to killed was funny

[small glen]

Lower life form tries to fuck with my vibing and suffers the penalty

[safe tapir]

i guess we all listen to different kind of music while slaughtering

[warped apex]

indeed

[warped apex]

Skate Story ost goes hard

[small glen]

hmm, Pinkle is this top 10 most foul kills?

i knee'd the sword deeper in his head

[safe tapir]

one of my favorite kill once was i stabbed a sword through the guy and stuck it in the small hole in the fence behind him though i'm fairly recent on half sword

[autumn meadow]

willie really needs to stop giving a shit about his chopped off limbs and kill the guy but he pissed me off so bad with this move

[wide nimbus]

i lowkey just got murdered but it was a warmup so its fine

[buoyant ravine]

that arm break though

[round kayak]

dude, spear enemies in the ultimate challenge are actually impossible unless you get lucky, they have perfect tracking it's stupid

[autumn meadow]

this is how i enter the abyss now

[blazing gull]

i keep accidently chopping hands and legs off

[autumn meadow]

correction skillfully cutting off hands and legs

[safe tapir]

Hey i have a question ( possibly dumb) i used the trainer to give wille a nice armor and a weapon set and saved it via ovrdth but when i tried to select it then it gave me back the original wille that i modified isn't it possible to create your own loadout like that or did i do something wrong

[buoyant ravine]

i barely even touched him

[autumn meadow]

hes a top heavy boss

[clear vortex]

https://youtu.be/aDsItTww5FM?si=aCEB73B1RvAZ4agC

[blazing gull]

use half sword enhancer and ovr together to do it

[buoyant ravine]

game stutterd so hard it made bro drop his weapon

[fallow spoke]

how did u remove the side fences

[blazing gull]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV0kcTDH_KU

[safe tapir]

it's the baron challenge if you survive all tiers you spawn with no weapon in a purple doublet and you must kill enemies until you spawn the baron

[warped apex]

skatestory soundtracks go hard

Been using them for edits

[mighty remnant]

lmao

[modest estuary]

LEAST ANNOYING DEATH

WHY TF DID IT BEYBLADE RIP INTO MY LEG

[mighty remnant]

ultimate challenge is so impossible. Thats it for today

[wide nimbus]

how do people be doing spin kicks to the head

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/lJFVwHlhSrZyb-sMa?invite=cr-MSxGdEUsNDIyODc0MTEz

[small glen]

I will reveal the secret

Hold shift

[wide nimbus]

ah

[small glen]

And pay attention to your legs

Which ever leg is in the back

Is the direction you will spin opposite of

If you want to do a spin kick shove or a basic body hit with a spin kick

Spin towards the direction of the leg in the back

There some movement involved

But learn the actual method first

[small glen]

There is more kicks than just the spin

Flick kicks, knees

[small glen]

@wide nimbus here

[slim trail]

what's your guys keybind for thrust mode

[slim trail]

happy chappy

[small glen]

M

[small glen]

Looks kickable

[slim trail]

M??? how are u pressing that

[small glen]

My tongue

[small glen]

I just lick my keyboard to stab, ez

[slim trail]

wow there really is levels to half sword players and im not even half way

tongue meta

[supple ember]

Tongue meta is only half way through

[small glen]

You think that's impressive?! Johnhalfsword plays with a fucking flute

[supple ember]

No he doesnt

He used to

[slim trail]

ohh shiii im not even at the tutorial

[small glen]

And lil bread plays with a steering wheel

[supple ember]

He plays with his big toe now

[supple ember]

No I moved to the pedals recently

[small glen]

I speaking of John, i think i beat his sheathe throw record

[noble iron]

Are there plans to implement victory conditions other than yield or death?

like first blood or even first clean hit?

[supple ember]

Mustve been the wind 🤷‍♂️

[noble iron]

it wasnt exactly the norm for competitors to go murdering one another at a medieval tournament

if someone dies so be it, but it'd have been put a stop to pretty quick if all the young knights were dying in tournaments

[supple ember]

The game is going to be moving away from a "tournament" type thing we have now. We will be going against people who wont just let you live, like bandits. But yes you are 100% right.

[small glen]

Nonono

The tournament is the main theme

[supple ember]

What are you talking about

[small glen]

That bandit thing was just one map sire

That's the forest

And that map seemingly has a 5v5 gamemode

[supple ember]

I think that there will be tournaments and such, but Id imagine it would be very little of the game. I could be wrong but it seems like it would be a smaller portion than we have now

[noble iron]

the joust was the main event for sure, but the melee was often a big draw, and a chance for young knights to get a taste of a (simulated) battle at a relatively low risk

[small glen]

Nope!

The main focus is tournaments

Maps have different lore doe

Like the forest is some military soldiers killing some bandits

The basement is a underground fighting arena

Underneath a bar, the alley is a rebellion

[noble iron]

not to say that accidents didn't happen, a tournament would often have a handfull of deaths or maimings (often to the scandalization of the host) but it was certainly far from the norm

[blazing gull]

makes sense

way to solve problems and get fame while not risking your life(as much as you can)

[noble iron]

oh you were definitely still risking your life, you could be one of the unlucky few

[blazing gull]

but not as much as actually battle i mean

[noble iron]

see Henry II dying in a joust gone wrong

[blazing gull]

also interviewing for a job at a castle lol

[noble iron]

kings or other lords getting seriously mangled in tournaments was a big problem, and at times the church would even outright declare a ban on tournaments for that reason

[hidden schooner]

What

Nvm

[noble iron]

pope innocent II declared a moratorium on tournaments

Some people killed in tournaments were even condemned to hell, being denied christian burial

[blazing gull]

why are you naked

and is willie fully modeled

[sand herald]

died and won at the same time

[sand herald]

nope

[blazing gull]

this is like the fall of constapinople

[frank scarab]

Does underwear make a difference in protection?

[noble iron]

no but imagine the chafing

[blazing gull]

stabbing someone in the face feels particularly brutal

[noble iron]

though medieval underwear wouldn't have been much better tbh, linen underpants sound terrible

[noble iron]

though frankly, willie's underpants are anachronistically tight, and I support the deciscion to remove them

[white trail]

wobba

[small glen]

Oh shit if that cut his head off

brooo

[blazing gull]

hammers vs maces whatre yalls thoughts

i think i prefer hammers

[noble iron]

depends on the mace, I really like the flanged mace

[blazing gull]

thats fair that one is fun

i just love being able to stab people or grab weapons or shields with it and the backspike

the hammer that is

[noble iron]

the polehammer spike is great

[slim trail]

cover ya self up

[errant jackal]

this game is amazing

[blazing gull]

i love the polehammer

[jolly gorge]

is there any way to remove the choppy quality int he screen on low quality

[errant jackal]

how do i pick things up

[noble iron]

e/q

[blazing gull]

e or q

[noble iron]

to each hand respectively

x swaps hands (handy if you want to attack a specific side)

[blazing gull]

very important for polearms

[noble iron]

I love the billhook, very important for that one in particular as you can only pull toward your inside line

[blazing gull]

thrusting between their legs, hooking on the leg, and pulling back

bye bye leg

[noble iron]

nah, thrust under their arm and pull their kidneys out

[spice mango]

I was trying leg carry and slam today as part of wrestling and i had a thought

What if the full release of half sword had attribute system

Where u level them up by physically carrying or exhausting yourself

[noble iron]

I think that's outside scope at the moment

[spice mango]

Maybe but also maybe not since the taller boss characters are harder to knock down and are more balanced perhaps those weight values can be transferred to smaller people

[noble iron]

cool idea, but I think that getting the physics stuff right matters more, and that's easier if you don't have to deal with variable attributes

if anything I'd say willie is TOO good at balancing now

willie can reliably stand on one foot indefinitely

[jolly gorge]

how do i make the gayme more visible with low quality

[noble iron]

after I shatter his knee he can hop in place almost forever

most people would instinctively try to put weight on the broken leg and crumple

[spice mango]

Haha that is what i was practicing on alleviating

I found a consistent way to off balance willy

Damaged or not

[noble iron]

how tf did you grab his foot

[spice mango]

U have to crouch AND use your arms to look down

Ur head is really exposed but if u can blitz in there like how wrestlers do u can grab it before he can swing in time

[jolly gorge]

how do i stop my game crashing

[noble iron]

download more RAM

[jolly gorge]

im on 12gb

[spice mango]

Are u on ultimate challenge

[noble iron]

turning the blood down can help too

there are a couple known crashes atm related to processing blood

[clever knoll]

bro i killed the last dude in the game and my game crashed

[spice mango]

Also u can go into this folder path and set these ini settings

Just make sure u put engine.ini into read only afterward

[jolly gorge]

i only see gameuser

[spice mango]

If it doesnt exist just make a new file called Engine.ini

[jolly gorge]

paste it

[spice mango]

[ConsoleVariables]
r.ScreenPercentage=100
[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False

[blazing gull]

😬

[noble iron]

closed casket for that guy

honestly, why does willy not have a mustache, ridiculous beards and mustaches were fashionable in the late 15th century

[blazing gull]

willie cannot grow hair

[noble iron]

shaved head was actually pretty common in the medieval period, it was super sexy in the 14th century

big foreheads, also sexy, in both genders

[wide nimbus]

bro wiped the entire trio

[noble iron]

go figure, axe used for splitting logs splits men even better

[noble iron]

is willie a eunuch, is that why kicking him in the nards does nothing?

[hidden schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/misinformation-spreading-spreading-misinformation-online-gif-4543841945782036495

[slim trail]

are the candlesticks accurate to the time as well

[hidden schooner]

Yes

[small glen]

wtf

thats so incredibly wrong that i feel like your trolling

hair was like status

long hair was the shit

Almost every single duke or high influence person

had shoulder length hair

[hidden schooner]

When were shaved heads ever sexy bro

[small glen]

Like bro

[spice mango]
