[drifting mauve]

[wide nimbus]

[foggy isle]

guys I cant beat the boss with the scythe, i was beating hiss ass one time and I walked backwards into his blade, and it cut me in half 🙁

[wanton seal]

loser hahahaha

[wanton remnant]

dont walk backwards ever! pitchfork is real nice if youre reallllly stuck. To cheese him get close, halfsword grip your weapon and just keep trying to stay as close as possible

[iron fractal]

tis but a scratch

[round stone]

Right? He still has 4 more senses

Idk why he just gave up

[drifting mauve]

i dont have the app thing

[wanton remnant]

did you reinstall and its still not working? if so then its not even getting to the process of making that folder which is no bueno

[drifting mauve]

reinstalling rn

but it never made a file

or had one

[fiery comet]

how do you send pictures

[wanton remnant]

hopefully it was just a bad install

[drifting mauve]

alr

does it require a modern cpu?

[wanton remnant]

[wanton remnant]

[tired vigil]

The arena should be grassier considering how much I water it

[drifting mauve]

low key idk what cpu i got but my gpu is 970

[tired vigil]

Half sword isn't too hard on the pc, you can probably play it on low graphics settings no matter what you got

[wanton remnant]

hes still trying to get it to launch

[digital egret]

🤣

[drifting mauve]

when i click playit waits then wants me to click play again

[tired vigil]

I dunno, restart your pc? Make sure your browser is closed before you launch it?

[wanton remnant]

what do you mean when it wants you to click play? in game or system message?

[drifting mauve]

how i record on pc 😭

then i can show u-

what i mean

[wanton remnant]

if in game and on windows you can hit "win+g+r" sorry its Win+Alt+R

[drifting mauve]

when i click play it wants me to click again

and it doesnt launch

[wanton remnant]

did you ever restart pc? btw make a post in here https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1047240101152960525

[round stone]

plankton fun

[soft osprey]

Try a 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.

[soft osprey]

Follow this guide

[round stone]

To be speed

[drifting mauve]

Yes I did that

Wait I will try

[wanton remnant]

do you have show hidden files enabled? sorry i didnt know they were hidden

[soft osprey]

To be clear, the full clean reinstall? Most people just uninstall and then Reinstall but Thats not clean

[drifting mauve]

Wym hidden?

[drifting mauve]

Oh

[soft osprey]

Press view in your file manager

Then enable show hidden items

[drifting mauve]

Win + r did nothing

[soft osprey]

It just takes you to app data faster but you can get there manually

[wanton remnant]

type %appdata% in the searchbar of your computer

[drifting mauve]

In files?

[wanton remnant]

in the windows search bar on the bottom left of taskbar next to windows button

[drifting mauve]

Okay

[drifting mauve]

K what I type

[drifting mauve]

Kk

Done

Do I type the Windies + r in the field explorer?

[wanton remnant]

no

[soft osprey]

No Thats just a command

[drifting mauve]

Oh

[soft osprey]

Follow this path:

your pc/users/yourname/appdata/local
Then you’ll see your halfsword file, delete

Then you just need to delete the halfsword files in your steam folder

[drifting mauve]

Ok

I type it intje search bar quick access?

[wanton remnant]

if youre having trouble finding halfsword files you can type C:\Users\ in the top files bar, select your name then add \AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5
so in full it would be C:\Users\YOURNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5

[soft osprey]

greyf is my pc name

[drifting mauve]

Kk

[mental kelp]

No its ur username

[wanton remnant]

same dif who has multiple users anymore lol

[drifting mauve]

Like this?

[wanton remnant]

yes

[drifting mauve]

I click enter now?

[wanton remnant]

wait sorry C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5

[drifting mauve]

Kk

[wanton remnant]

or without the HalfSwordUE5 works too

[drifting mauve]

This?

[wanton remnant]

yes hit enter

[drifting mauve]

K

Okay it's showing files

Like beamng games and stuff

[wanton remnant]

find HalfSwordUE5

delete it

[drifting mauve]

Can I search for it by typing in right side

It's not there

[wanton remnant]

wait also click view, go down to show, click show hidden items

[snow gulch]

being able to play this game on epic without lagging is such a new experience

[drifting mauve]

I click the box that says hidden items?

[wanton remnant]

yes make sure theres the check mark, now refresh the page and it should be there

[drifting mauve]

How I refresh

[wanton remnant]

button on the right

its on the top left of screen

[drifting mauve]

I fo8dn the refresh but it's still not there

Found*

It said windows couldn't find that file

[wanton remnant]

are you on windows 10?

[drifting mauve]

Do I have to install half sword first?

[drifting mauve]

Windows 11

[soft osprey]

Have you ever launched halfsword and gotten in game

[drifting mauve]

Never

[soft osprey]

Then the files aren’t generated yet

Try just deleting the steam files for halfsword

[drifting mauve]

How I do that..

[wanton remnant]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common
if you have multiple hard drives that you use it will be different

[drifting mauve]

Am I supposed to download the game

[soft osprey]

Right click halfsword in your steam library, manage, browse local files

[drifting mauve]

First or last

[wanton remnant]

before downloading

[drifting mauve]

Kk I havent downloaded it yet

[wanton remnant]

if you go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common is half sword there

[drifting mauve]

Theres only these

[wanton remnant]

ok now try downloading again ig

[drifting mauve]

Alr

Anything should I do here or just install

[drifting mauve]

@wanton remnant

[wanton remnant]

just install

[drifting mauve]

Alright

[broken heath]

@distant hemlock love you

[mental kelp]

woulda been nice if I actually got im in the neck on the first go, or at least got a takedown after but nah

he's actually a balance master

[drifting mauve]

K its there now in the files

@wanton remnant

[wanton remnant]

is the game working?

[drifting mauve]

No I'm saying I downloaded the game and the file is there

[wanton remnant]

good, try booting it up now, maybe it didnt download correctly last time

[drifting mauve]

This time it waited a little bit then didn't launch like last time

O

I FO8ND IT.

I found smth

[mental kelp]

weird distancing on the first bit but didnt get hit

[drifting mauve]

I opened up the file

[wanton remnant]

try typing the -directx11 in steam again

wgat dud you find

[drifting mauve]

And it had the haflsworeu5

Do I delete it?

[wanton remnant]

not yet, hold on a second

[distant hemlock]

Love you too

[drifting mauve]

Kk

U there bambi

[wanton remnant]

go to appdata again. make sure youre in local and not roaming

[wanton remnant]

not that one, type %appdata% in the searchbar on the bottom left again

[drifting mauve]

Alr

[mint shoal]

they should make halfsword harder

[drifting mauve]

Okay now what

[wanton remnant]

get out of roaming and go to local

[drifting mauve]

How tho

[wanton remnant]

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local

[drifting mauve]

Kk

Username as in my name?

[wanton remnant]

yes

[drifting mauve]

Kk

It's not there

[wanton remnant]

halfsword isnt there or local isnt there

[drifting mauve]

Halfsword

[wanton remnant]

and you are sure you have it so you can see hidden files?

[drifting mauve]

Where I show hidden files

[wanton remnant]

yes you have it on, that means this is a bad bug

[drifting mauve]

.

Well what we do

[wanton remnant]

@soft osprey any ideas? hes clean reinstalled and confirmed that he can see hidden files but the game is never even generating appdata files when starting

[soft osprey]

try running the game as admin

[drifting mauve]

Bet

[celest wigeon]

The game makes no sense. I smacked the sword boss, after the sythe, in the head with the systhe. Blade side. And it hits like I smacked him with my hand but it hits the other npcs like a blade. Make it make sense

[drifting mauve]

Wait

I went to steam and did browse local files anything I should do here or just run as admin

[soft osprey]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1362775783298306109/1367571175114408067/Run_As_admin.gif

This issue occurs when users do not install or run the .exe as admin, this does not give the program the write permissions it needs to populate Appdata.

Issue: HalfSwordUE5 folder is not found in Appdata folder.

Fix: Run as Admin. Right click on Half Sword Demo from your steam library from the popup navigate to Manage>Browse local files. In the folder that pops up find HalfSwordUE5.exe the file extension .exe may not be visible with your folder view settings the file type will be Application.

[drifting mauve]

K

Hmm that option isn't there…

O nvm

It did nothing.

https://tenor.com/view/nub-cat-nub-silly-cat-depression-depressed-gif-5883714320658611738

[soft osprey]

files still arent there?

[drifting mauve]

Nothing happened.

[soft osprey]

double check the app data path and see if the halfsword file generated

if not then i am honestly at a loss

[drifting mauve]

How

[soft osprey]

same way you got there before

[wanton remnant]

just do the %appdata% again

[drifting mauve]

Forgot tho-

[wanton remnant]

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local

[drifting mauve]

oh ye

Uh

It's doing smth

[soft osprey]

?

[drifting mauve]

It's tryna do smth

[drifting mauve]

Ig it just doesn't work

[wanton remnant]

im sorry man

[wanton remnant]

type dxdiag into the windows search, tell them your gpu and cpu or just take a screenshot of them both and put it on the report

and blankout your pc name if you wish

@mental kelp drag cut

[plain brook]

I asked the community manager if he has any ideas, I’ll let you know if anything comes up. Otherwise unfortunately Youre kinda sol for now

[drifting mauve]

Alright.

[shell bronze]

if the ai pressed you he could've backswung and mauled you immediately

[plain brook]

[sweet garden]

Half sword is my most anticipated game of 2026 believe it or not. The sword play in this game is unrivaled. And I hope to see different eras available in the future because this is just amazing.

Will the game feature workshop support? If yes then we have the best sword fighting game made.

[sweet garden]

Nice kill mate

[night juniper]

god why the fuck is it that everytime i get a good grip on wille's leg i stop holding

[plain brook]

[night juniper]

[plain brook]

those small shoulder thrusts you do always remind me of guts vs griffith 1

is that a thrust or just how it positions

[shell bronze]

jodan kamae into kotegiri, then 2x men strike

[shell bronze]

they are thrusts yes

[wide nimbus]

terrorizing commoners is kinda fun

my hometown has been a bit crowded lately

[plain brook]

half sword willie horde mode when

[plain brook]

from experience just after that clip ends the sword doesnt come out right and then the phsyics wigs out and sends something flying

[shell bronze]

never happens to me

[latent fern]

this game is gonna be PEAK

does anyone know if you'll be able to play online?

[wide nimbus]

they're planning on trying to add PvP at some point after the full release

rip

[plain brook]

managed to actually guard the spiky spear twice before i inevitably died

[shell bronze]

smartest ai

[plain brook]

what is that red sword from

[shell bronze]

best defense against that spear is to not block at all and just go in between swings

[plain brook]

yeah but i want to learn to guard it because its so hard to

[shell bronze]

use a shield

[plain brook]

then its too easy

[heavy valve]

dual buckler is so fun...

[heavy valve]

metal boxing

[shell bronze]

me when the shield serves its intended purpose

[heavy valve]

i wish there was an easy way to add load outs to the default game

[neon pine]

me if halfsword knight and begger fights were fun:

[heavy valve]

i don’t like adding mods because i feel like they drop fps

[neon pine]

they dont

[plain brook]

lol, lmao evenn

[neon pine]

do you think a few lines of simple code will drop fps on cpus that can run billiuns of instructions per second

[shell bronze]

mods don't drop fps

[heavy valve]

yes

[shell bronze]

knight fights are pretty fun

[buoyant ravine]

"Billions"

[neon pine]

nah their too easy and grappling is nonexistant since playtest

atleast in other tiers you can die

[snow gulch]

most fun thing about knight fights imo is using the maces, they feel great

and shield bashing

[quiet ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/silly-dance-sea-lion-gif-18060641275691946665

[shell bronze]

to each his own

[shell bronze]

i use knight as mace and poleaxe practice

[heavy valve]

grappling is goated rn

[quiet ferry]

??

[neon pine]

thousands of times better in 2024 playtest

death animations were also better

[heavy valve]

suplexes are really consistently pulled off rn imo

[tawdry vale]

Anyone get that Trainer bug where they cannot turn their camera?

[tawdry vale]

My favorite gif

[neon pine]

the ai is so shit you can do this with basically every class no armor even baron

[quiet ferry]

am i just

really bad at half sword

[shell bronze]

this is made obvious by your 10th hour in the game

why do you think i play no armor

[tawdry vale]

**good

[neon pine]

i dont even know how to do flashy spin kicks or tactic and still manage to demolish the ai

[shell bronze]

after a bit you need something to actually spice the game up

spin kicks are mostly for show/jank

[quiet ferry]

genuinely still struggling at commoner boss and i'm very unlucky

[shell bronze]

knowing how to swing and dodge is all you need to beat half sword at its (current) fundamental state

[shell bronze]

i regret to inform you

[neon pine]

yea bro wish they added like an ai difficulty slider

[plain brook]

Or you can do silly willie things like torture a willie for a minute straight while the phsyics drums play a nice tune

[neon pine]

you can cheese it with pitchfork if you want

[quiet ferry]

ik

but

borrring

[shell bronze]

if they modeled the ai after the best players in this game it would actually be fun

[ornate steeple]

I die to it because it's actually able to parry

[neon pine]

im actually gonna try and do that

[shell bronze]

ai CANNOT parry

tf

i parry the ai for funsies and have studied every single one of its movements with a 2h sword

[neon pine]

the ai works on an intent system or something like that just kinda looked through it

[shell bronze]

every parry is coincidental

[ornate steeple]

that boss has defense better than the average ai it seems

[neon pine]

you can modify valyues and get more aggresive or defensive shit

[shell bronze]

ai does have a personality system

where they choose which moves they want to prioritize using, their aggression, how likely they are to surrender, etc

but unfortunately the ai is cheeks at the game

[shell bronze]

which one

[neon pine]

some tweaks and you can probably get it to be way better

[ornate steeple]

lemme double check

[shell bronze]

defense is what makes the ai ass

[ornate steeple]

it's the commoner boss

[shell bronze]

they don't know what self preservation is nor can they actively defend against anything in real time

[ornate steeple]

the one with the great sword

[neon pine]

yea

[heavy valve]

is this the playtest or the demo

[neon pine]

demo, playtest was the one in 2024

[shell bronze]

by default commoner boss is just difficult because he objectively outreaches you with more blade surface to block your attacks and cut you with

• he's also stronger

but ultimately he's bitchmade

i have an insane collection of clips where i just turn him into mincemeat with minimal/no cheese

[ornate steeple]

the only way I can kill him is run at him with a pitchfork

[neon pine]

you just gotta attack at the right time

[shell bronze]

unless you're me just bait him into swinging, then attack

you can kill him with a peasant kitchen knife this way

Who is Willie?

[weak osprey]

Species of fungus

[tacit blade]

Do not you lie to me

[weak osprey]

Relies on spores after death to reproduce more willies

[weak osprey]

Its true he is a species of fungus

[tacit blade]

I see

But which one is Willie?

Is Willie you the player or the people you kill?

Cuz I always get the worst fucking weapons

[tame thicket]

Best thing is when the third dude comes out with a billhook

[leaden rivet]

its always a luck based thing in the ultimate challenge

and i hate it with a passion

[pearl kernel]

do we have a more accurate release date yt

[solemn fossil]

More like worst thing 🥀😭💔

[dusky thistle]

Does the color of the enemy also provide them with the faction buff or no

[floral pewter]

Can't wait for the game to release on january 1st for $5

[leaden rivet]

is it confirmed?

[weak osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/meez-meez-cash-take-my-money-zimb-gif-23303103

[tame thicket]

No, it's actually the best RNG you can get, since third dude is still by himself, and billhooks are easy to deal with, but are murderous on the player's hands, so it's a free billhook

[tame thicket]

nope, also expecting this to be 5 bucks is insane

[jagged void]

Does anyone know if there will be multiplayer in the full release?

[soft osprey]

#faq

[snow gulch]

given that its a Q1 release im wondering if they have to push it back further than january

[soft osprey]

Well, Q1 encompasses January-march so Id say theres a fair chance it goes into February

[snow gulch]

yeah, honestly 1-3 months isnt too bad

[still totem]

hello is the ovrdth's selection safe?

yoo i found a way to stop crashes

and u can still play with blood

[warped apex]

poor begger champion

he got lamped

[elfin skiff]

Can I get swords in the Demo?

[soft osprey]

Yes

[floral pewter]

why does willie walk so fucked up

[elfin skiff]

How it won't let me

[floral pewter]

its lost me a decent amount of games because he just refuses to move backwards even when uninjured

[soft osprey]

They don’t appear in the first couple tiers

[tacit blade]

Will the developers optimise performance in the full release?

I can't run the game very well

[naive granite]

never

delays and delays and delays

[wanton remnant]

go to settings>Display>Graphics turn to low, if that still doesnt help turn down gore and/or blood in Settings>Game>gore

[tacit blade]

I can run the game at high

At around maybe 50 FPS

[naive granite]

could have been released at christmas but delayed

[tacit blade]

But when in a small buhurt performance tanks

At any preset

[wanton remnant]

interesting, did you cap your fps? its not optimal to but it helps

[tacit blade]

Gore and blood don't affect performance too much

[tacit blade]

Yes

It's capped at 120 when I play in low

But on medium which is my preferred preset I lock it at 90

[wanton remnant]

interesting, what gpu u got?

[tacit blade]

It doesn't help at all

A 6650 XT

[wanton remnant]

VERY INTERESTING

[tacit blade]

A little bit faster than a 3060

[tacit blade]

You're right

[wanton remnant]

im on a 4070 super and im runnin like a champ

[tacit blade]

Could be the VRAM

[wanton remnant]

how much you got?

[tacit blade]

8GB

It's not filled up when playing though

[wanton remnant]

ya i got 12GB, lets see if it spikes with more players

[tacit blade]

I think it's lumen

UE5's curse along with nanite

This game doesn't need lumen just baked lighting

[soft osprey]

Disable blood(it will cause crashes down the line anyway) gore can stay as is.
Run the game on directx11 not directx12, reduce graphics if necessary

[wanton remnant]

true that, we are only in 1 enviorment with nothing to refect or use any of lumens deatures anyway

[tacit blade]

I will try disabling blood

If it doesn't help I'll disable lumen in the engine ini

[tight isle]

it got one single delay 😭

[naive granite]

one delay leads to another

[broken vortex]

shoe

[naive granite]

its not just a delay the release date is another quarter of the year which is unknown

which day which month we dont know it could get delayed again

[tight isle]

a delayed game is better than a bad game

[naive granite]

by that logic they could keep delaying the game and keep adding more stuff and make the game better,its an early access we are not waiting for the full game

[tight isle]

the devs seem to be quite competent at their job idk what the doom posting is about

also oh no more content im scared

[wanton remnant]

hard deadlines is a recipie for indie dev backlash

[tight isle]

i waited 7 years for silksong and many more for other games a 3 month delay (at max) for half sword EA is nothing

you'll be fine

[weak osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/fnb-get-this-man-a-true-gif-25257480

[naive granite]

waiting for silksong isnt a good comparison,silksong is a finished game we are waiting for early access here

[tacit blade]

Why are you complaining?

How does a delay affect you

[tight isle]

slay the spire 2 (a much more anticipated game) got delayed too for early access

[soft osprey]

Yes and if they released a version of early access not suitable for play then you’d be sitting here shitting on the devs for a money grab or something

[tacit blade]

Play something else in the meanwhile

[naive granite]

are we making assumptions out of nowhere now

[tight isle]

you literally started this as an assumption

chill man

[soft osprey]

You literally are

[wanton remnant]

exactly, hard deadlines is a recipie for indie devs to recieve backlash

[naive granite]

i am not complaining i am reacting to the situation,the game gets repetitive after some time which would only cause players to move on

we literally saw with most games that one delay leads to another

[wanton remnant]

"its not here yet" "its half baked" its usually a lose lose situation unless you have a lot of games under your belt and know exactly how long and what errors will probably

[soft osprey]

Another assumption…

[tacit blade]

A fun game will always have people buying it

[tight isle]

this is possibly the most replayable demo ive ever played (but this is a personal thing not a personal knock at ur feelings)

[fading dirge]

its half sword, actually

[tacit blade]

And Charlie will definitely buy the game on the first day which will be a great source of advertisement because people watch him

[soft osprey]

They delayed it one single time. 8 million people downloaded the free demo as of half a year ago. I think the game will do just fine on release

[tight isle]

1 swordillion dollars to charlie critikal

[wanton remnant]

this is exactly what i mean about hard deadlines being bad for indies lol

[tight isle]

brother uve said it 3 times

[fading dirge]

what

[wanton remnant]

this is why

[naive granite]

a fun game helps but its not the only thing,timing is everything,if they released this right now at christmas it would get even more hype than normally it would get

[tacit blade]

I only downloaded this game because of Charlie in fact

[fading dirge]

what the fuck are you talking about

[weak osprey]

Ya know the game is a masterpiece when already the demo racks up a lot of enjoyment for playerd

[tight isle]

i hope i can get my upgraded graphics card by then its not ready for unreal engine 5... anything

[soft osprey]

Even on Reddit of all places, they accepted the delay as necessary. Better a good release with delay than a shitty release for gratification

[weak osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/fnb-get-this-man-a-true-gif-25257480

[naive granite]

8 million downloads show that people had interest since its a free demo,do you think all 8 million players are playing the game frequently? no

[small glen]

ez

[tight isle]

what is ur point

[soft osprey]

For someone who complained about assumptions it sure seems like all you do is assume

[wanton remnant]

because indies dont usually have many games under their belt and lose track of how long it will take to reach what scope they put out. usually heavily underestimating the time needed and get backlash for delaying. or give it as is and get backlash for it being not finished

[naive granite]

so you are saying 8 million players actively play half sword

[tight isle]

ur addicted to doom posting take a chill pill

[fading dirge]

what does my joke have to do with that

[soft osprey]

I am saying youre making assumptions and Thats ironic

[wanton remnant]

i was assuming you were saying that "it was half baked and delayed so im angry" sorry if i misunderstood

[tight isle]

flabbergasted how something so innocuous i said was filtered oml

[tight isle]

gonna need that song id

[fading dirge]

how the fuck did you get that from "its half sword"

[naive granite]

if they didnt delay the game and released it on christmas it would have gotten way more than 8 million people playing it,it got delayed and lost its momentum,people are moving on and there is little to zero communication with the community

[tight isle]

are u getting this info from ur ass

or

charlie moist critikal and caseoh are still propping it up

youtube views arent going down

[soft osprey]

Rage bait used to be believable

[small glen]

Demo btw

[fading dirge]

serrated edge sword

[naive granite]

lets say that the game got released now,would it have more players/hype now or later

[tight isle]

reverse dagger

[wanton remnant]

i thought you were saying the comments i said people would say are what actually halfsword is

[tight isle]

dw guys the game in top ten most wishlisted games is gonna make zero splash on release

[small glen]

This calling by All that remains

[soft osprey]

Anyway, this is a pointless debate. Nobody’s gonna change your mind, you can think however you’d like Thats your right. End of the day we will see on release

No need to continue

[naive granite]

never said it was going to get zero hype,i said that it would get more hype now rather than later

[tacit blade]

[fading dirge]

from that perspective i guess it makes sense, very cool, i joked about "half baked" being "half sword" tho

[weak osprey]

Get this man a true

[fading dirge]

i got this man a true

[wanton remnant]

AHHH i didnt get that, thats actually a really good one lmao

[fading dirge]

oh hey i got level 1

[tight isle]

[naive granite]

fair enough,time will tell

[small glen]

got a new pet

[wanton remnant]

im not there yet but im learning the kick

[wanton remnant]

tips? @small glen

[tight isle]

i love weapon throwing so much

[small glen]

Hold shift

[tight isle]

im under the impression its kick shift then flick

[wanton remnant]

doesnt that just dodge? or do you mean run up?

[small glen]

Flick, or spin

[small glen]

hold shift while standing still

pay attention to your legs

[tight isle]

i do it for both but generally spinning

[wanton remnant]

ok, but what does that do jw lol

[tight isle]

more force on the kick

more momentum

i think

[small glen]

Front = leg your turning towards for the kick

Back = kicking leg

And more speed

[sweet garden]

Early 2026 release? Can’t wait to get the early access version

[wanton remnant]

got the one tap skull but keep hitting his hands. do i need to look even higher or is that just what fist fight is like due to arms positioning? or is it that the back leg cant go that high cuz u said it was the leg kicking. shift is defineitly doing more power ty

yeah but he not a good boxer, he clearly not very durable either

[soft osprey]

Good boxer, bad boxer..all the same when you’ve made almost $200 million total from boxing

[small glen]

that 200 Million won't fix a concussion that makes you wheel chair ridden or halves your life expectancy by like 20 years

[floral pewter]

bro what is up with wilfred's legs

[wanton remnant]

his legs are 90% spring

im trying to practice throwing and they just wont stop closing in, i feel like i gotta break his legs first

[tight isle]

when it happens (and ur not attached to ur run) just reset the whole game

[floral pewter]

yeah it went away after i restarted the game, no need to reset the run

[tight isle]

i kinda forgot its a rougelike mode i just meant ur freeplay character

The punishment for using a plancon

[lime rune]

i started playing chivalry2 and why are the chiv counters so effective in this

i didnt know how useful mirroring attacks could be

tbh u could call this a more advanced chivalry

even chivalry jabs

punching someone or hitting them with ur hilt

so effective

[tight isle]

probably cause theyre all hema techniques

i think im speaking out my ass lowkey

[soft osprey]

If you say something with enough confidence you can convince anybody of anything

[lime rune]

type shit

tbh this game gets to a point where its just going thru waves of brutally murdering people without getting touched or just trying new techniques

like wdym im just smacking people in the face with the back of my sword to interrupt them

rn im trying to get grappling
and like an upwards parry motion that (nearly) guarantees a hand cut off

[lime rune]

or this

[lime rune]

oh yea ive been doing that forever

i was doing it over and over for fun

wait

also i like finding odd ways of beheading people

ill send a random clip

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/lNbYvdKqXxV85-TOX?invite=cr-MSxUTkUsMzgxODc3Nzg1&v=5

and sometimes i just absolutely violate them

heres this btw its not the same but similar https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/lMXm4UE9RGXXvnI5n?invite=cr-MSxVZnQsMzgxODc3Nzg1&v=15

[tight isle]

if u get ur sword around their neck in half sword and absolutely jerk in the other direction (while NOT holding m1) u can get a clean cut (sometimes)

[lime rune]

oh yea and u can also saw it off while using m2 if they have a helmet

[tight isle]

im so mad that this one didnt kill (i cut the rest of the fight cause im really fuckin bad with that waraxe)

[lime rune]

also if u can find a way to get enough force and you grab their head and twist it back hard enough you can snap it

[lime rune]

holy shit how did u lift him like that

ya but this is kinda bad for new players imo

teaches bad habbits

i am a new player and it taught me bad habbits

[tight isle]

unless a player fundamentally doesnt understand game mechanics through just flailing
like who cares

There is a mod on nexus mods rhat allows you to change .sav files (your loadout file) into .json files that allow youto edit your loadout

you can change weapon modules, colors, etc.

dont flail wildly it wont work for long

use shift for better movement

best tip someone can give

[bold jacinth]

turn down the screams

[shell musk]

Great stuff phellas thanks

Appreciate it

[tight isle]

this is the shit i was doing when i was new just fuck around and find out what works

[shell musk]

Hahahaha you hear them in your sleep or something?

[bold jacinth]

the blood gurgling as the npc drowns in his own blood gets to you quick

[peak fjord]

learn how to grapple will help alot

[tight isle]

bros saying jump from 8th grade algebra to rocket science

[wanton remnant]

thats more advanced i think, or i have skill issues

[peak fjord]

only reason i play is to hear that

[peak fjord]

the second option

[bold jacinth]

also, make sure to turn down your dps for more percise hits

[shell musk]

Jesus a lot to this glad it’s not just simple

[peak fjord]

i advice turning them up so u learn to dodge

[shell musk]

Should I start playing this with 3 kids? Will this suck me in?

[sharp spruce]

when willie does that i kill him instantly so he stops doing the blood gurgling sounds

[tight isle]

its worse when he's still conscious and bleeding from his throat but he's still reaching for the dagger in his pocket with one hand on his throat

[bold jacinth]

let me show u how to grapple

[humble iris]

are you trying to do an arm lock

[humble iris]

You need to make them dazed a bit

just smack them a couple of times in the head (not too hard) until they drop their hands OR put their hands over their mouth (if they don’t doany of that but they are jittering a bit and not swinginf, that is also a sign iirc)

after that, be quick, try to grab as low as you can near their foot and then punch to hook around that foot to grab the back of their knee

then from there, pray you dont lose grip and try to get into a position that hurls them onto your shoulder/back
