what
??
i wear helmet. i immedietly get knocked out by the slightest hit.
true
i mean like
cheaper to heal with a helmet on
the alternative is dying
The Jester REALLY wants to see me fuck up some peasants
you probably would have gotten your head smashed in
scroll down
๐ญ
same king
nah. i swear the helmets are just debilitating as fuck
Nah I know but still funny the first 3 are all beggar/peasant rank lol
"nah"
why are we lying here
lying is a wild term to use but aight
why would wearing a helmet be worse then instantly dying or just getting knocked out instnatly
the game has quite a few problems but i promise helmets making you more susceptible to damage is not one of them
it isnt a wild term to use
maybe the opposite
Fine Jester, I'll beat the shit out of some poor people in a pile of shit while butt ass naked, why not?
IM ALREADY GETTING KNOCKED OUT INSTANTLY? WHAT IS UR POINT? LOL
losing is better than dying
I'd rather be knocked down than dead
are you stupid you dont get knocked out instantly in this game anymore unless you get hit while on the ground
Y'all think I'm playing
watch your fucking mouth with the insults
does anybody know why my character constantly switches from 83 kg to 71 kg
what are you gonna do about it lol
if you cant speak respectfully then dont fucking talk. that simple
Visual bug i think happens to me too. If you go out of inventory and back it resets to the real weight
kiss already smh
mk ill try it
stayed at 83
what is bro yapping about
i just lost a battle cause my character tripped over a basket and their head exploded ;-;
tuff
im calling you stupid because you somehow believe that helmets are debatiliating because you are bad at the game
going into the abyss is terrifying, not because of the zombies, but because of the chance my guy brutally maims himself trying to get out of the casket
EXACTLYYYY
Menacing Aura
then if i drop my fuckin weapon and dont pick it up in time i get swarmed
ragebait
that is aura
lol. i picked up a spear once and it sent me flying across the abyss and knocked me out. shits terrifying
i hope they fix physic problems like that soon. ive lost too many battles to jank
also i killed the baron and he didnt show up in the abyss
why is that
didnt have a soul. sold it for the golden armor
he respected you and didnt come back ig
The baron has no soul
yo lowkey why cant i wear pauldrons
i was doing it on purpose
YES
i was trying to see if i could
i keep phasing through
You need an arming doublet without chains
get a arming doublet
remove the chains
makes sense
i wish we had a counter for how many times that has been asked lol
I am becoming a cellar butthurt... In short... A basement degen
because its so unintutitive
we need to include the thing about the pauldrons in an FAQ page or something cause god dam
yeah the game could say you need to wear that
like the chains thing
MKAES SENSE
but then you have to wear a specific shirt
i thought it was rank locked
for a while
before reading the discord
i originally had a jack
when u try to equip it there should be a pop up or something
it's in pins but people really don't check them it seems
I knew I had to wear one because i played with the hs enhancer and loadout mods for the demo lul
Yeah the jack is an alternative armored shirt
i got all the way to knight before i realized it wasn't tied to rank
"you're too POOR to put on a bevor
"
You can get full plate by like soldier
I slipped in shit on a slums riot now they jumping my ass ๐ฅ
Jeuss christ bro
I wish the tabards clipped less
What do you even buy after lord rank? A golden poleaxe?
The Half Sword is REAAAAAALLLLLL
doubles is a scam
whys your cheeks out
lower
willie backshot simulator
i had that happen to me too
they should add mega knight armor
Let me see willie
i think if u equip certain clothes or armor and enter a brawl willie just spawns naked
If you steal the Drunkard's pants and wear them for Brawls for some reason they are invisible so you get buttcheeks lol
I just realized that longswords are lowkey ass rn due to the improper grip
4 pieced
i showed u my willie pls respond
is there a way to increase ur muscles in free play other than grinding
how do u increase muscles actually i could never figure it out
I hope they never patch this one
Burn your stamina
hover over your weight in your stash. it tells you
ohhh
Wtf bro ๐ญ
banban
can modify your game save
ban him
What's y'all's favorite way to kill your opponent using the environment? Mine is destroying beehives in Forest
Just for you Imma delete my bug report thread
Hell yeahh
Yup, that's what I do on riots
I find a beehive, wait for everyone to come close to me, then grab the beehive so it falls down, then run away so they don't attack me
Does anyone's game have really dark lighting like you can barely see anything
Yup
i just nearly died in the abyss cause my dumbass of a soldier couldnt get out of the coffin
next time im just paying off the souls. it isnt worth it
Especially at Alley Night, I sometimes need to pause using camera mode to brighten up the place for a bit so I can see where my opponent is
I got 124, is it worth it?
I had a run with my best Character yet called Mr. Manfred and I survived a 108 zombie Abyss and only died because the next time a Zombie pulled cheap move, bit my neck and which he triped on my body and side from falling neck first
fuck him up bro
You will lose all Aura if you lose
You ambushed him when he just got done taking a bath
I think the trader is the one doing the retribution
Bro stole all his gear or smth
Break his skull
no matter what i always chop them up at retri
genuienly
I take out my casted mace and maul them
officer he walked RIGHT into my beak!
Yeah if they sent me to the abyss I'm killing their ass
Sent a guy to hell, he came back and killed me
has anyone else had it where they get tapped and just instantly lose?
like i can even see my character stands back up again when the game over screen is overlayed
He looks like one
Me when first blood:
can i unsheathe the baron's sword and take it?
ik nothing about how cops look in other continents but something with that picture looks off to me
Knockdown stipulation
whats that
was it a duel
Early access?..
thats probably why
can i take the kings armor ive been trying for like 10 minutes now
then he tapped my knee in full plate and i lost
was the match a first blood?
you cut the other dudes heads off and bled right afterwards
you get a piece afterwards
so i cant get all of it
you keep getting pieces
awh man
but there was a solid 5 seconds after i killed him
No
i should have won
๐
https://youtube.com/shorts/wdV1plWMWf4?si=knm899nZjuqYkxc8 we need these armor mods
to get all the pieces
but you can take the weapons
mainly go after the baron sword and baron poleaxe
why is the car parked on a walkway? and why is the badge somewhat readable but the sign in the background isnt at all?
Any way to stop crashing on amd cards? Running 9070xt and I'm crashing every 10 minutes or so with the latest drivers
Got back up, managed to grab my hammer then put in the work.
i dont like the fact you dont have a cuirass
it makes me angry
i think you get riots at knight tier or lord tier
so this makes me ANGRY
I do but it only covers the front lol
you have a BREASTPLATE
I'm only vet rank
Yep
you can get a cuirass that covers the back
damn
how many pieces of armor does the baron have
is that why tis so unbalanced
as many as you do fully equipped with armet except no tabard
and ignore clothing
That's why I keep the Pavise shield over my back because it's squishy for now
keep it anyway its so good even with cuirass
alr so 11
How does this happen to y'all?
I mean my device is pretty bad to the point where I'd lag on Medium settings Demo
Yet I haven't crashed yet on Low settings EA
I'm on soldier and got riots
I think soldier is the earliest
i have no clue, my friend with a weaker computer runs it just fine but he has an Nvidia card so maybe thats why
Literally right after this round one showed up at the traders for 240
Oh yeah maybe, I think I have that too(I don't know much about specs but I can remember my laptop having an Nvidia sticker)
There we go.
PRECIOUS EAGLE-CACTUS FRUIT PRECIOUS WATER NOURISH
most likely, i just crashed again so i think maybe thats enough for today :(
I could cover that last bit of exposed skin at the mouth but it muffles me taunting the enemies so I keep it uncovered
if this game ever gets VR it will be peak
and no blade and sorcery isn't the same, I love blade and sorcery but the combat physics and armor system isn't even close to this game]
Damn isnt this post like a year old how did you even find this
May 2025 lol
no pc on earth wll be able to get a consistent 90fps with 2x 4k rendering
bro how tf
That's why you get 2 PCs duh
my characters are weaker than a trainwreck
one for each eye lol
I'm only Veteran too, not even Man at Arms yet
when the game is more optimized I'm sure low settings 72hz would work fine, most people can't even run VR in 4k anyways
The ideal gamer setup
the game will never be that optimised and 4k and 90hzs are the standard nowadays
how can you tell when your muscles are fully developed? i have half baron armor and my shitass willie keeps falling over
if someone makes a mod then the 'standard' doesn't matter also 4k screens are the standard, that doesn't mean every game has to be ran at max resolution
I dont think you can tell for the legs. For normal strength if it says 93 kg and the progress bar is maxxed out then that's maximum
any optimisation differences will be subtle at best 10 - 15 fps improvments
I usually run steamvr games at 65% render resolution
ur setup must be pretty dated then
which isnt bad
why cant i equip cuisses the armor for the legs the thing is red on the side where all the armor shoes and also the shoulders is like covered i cant equip nothing there either its also red
mmmm I doubt it with how badly slums was optimized, I'm sure there are other things they could improve largely on
but its not the standard
i thought the weight was what you had equipped lmao. they really have to explain this shit in game its really annoying to figure out
oh sure bugged perfromance can be greatly fixed i am talking general performance tho
can someone lmk pls ๐
What do you guys recommend for an end game weapon? I've just killed the baron for the first time and now I'm realizing that I'm going to have to get very good at killing him if I want his stuff
Yeah me too at first but yeah it's your actual character body weight
4060 isn't very dated, it's just weaker among Nvidia cards, I can run at 100% on most VR games, but I don't think the visuals are worth more stutters and choppiness
you need to be wearing an arming doublet
baron beak
i am
Is that his stick thing that kills me?
my 2080ti is about as strong for comparison of how weak that is
yep
appreciate it
baron beak or warstaff is really the only good endgame weapons
If I steal it from him when I kill him do I keep it?
if blade and sorcery had proper active ragdolls, it'd be fine
warstaff stays op even after the demo lmao
I put one on its still red and wont go on
the shoudlers shits went on tho
not the cuisses the leg armor
I don't think either is weak, when you say dated I assume you mean old, not lower end hardware
half sword is so much more advanced than blade and sourcery and its not the ragdolls that kill performance but the gore and generlly poorly wrriten indie code
For me, to put on the knee pad things I needed to remove the pants first. If you're trying to wear any other leg armor, remove the knee pad things
sub standard is more accurate but yeah, neither are running vr in intended levels which is my point
the only reason I want a VR mod at some point is the active ragdolls, blade and sorcery npcs are way to forced into animation
theres a doublet and an arming doublet. make sure you have the right one on
also if youre wearing the knee guards (idk what theyre called) you gotta take them off
Oh so its either the leg things or the knee gaurds
well better hope someone likes half sword and make a game that can actually run in VR, i dont disagree id love vr half sword but the indie team just dont got the juice to optimise their code and systems to VR quality at least not for current day hardware
cant have both ?
yup
alr i see
you dont need the knee guards though if you have cuisses and the shin guards
Cuisses and Greaves cover your whole leg
are you able to take off pieces of armor from enemies?
yes
damn man I am accruing negative karma like nothing.
greaves thats the one
alright
how? \
Grab their limb and hold E or Q.
Imma just have to get greaves for now i got cuisses only
both are perfectly useable for VR, compromises just need to be made sometimes
grab the armor you want and hold the grab key whilst you have it in your hand
If you grab the enemy and then hold the button for what ever hand is on that armor piece, or clothes, you strip it
I used to play VR on a 1650 laptop, it was horrible, but it functioned at the very least lol
You can't do it against the Baron, but you get his armor for killing him over and over. One piece each time.
yeah but sub standard is my point the standard is 4k and 90hz and neither are possible at ALL and would be the thing they would target
what about for breastplates?
Grab their back imo, I flip them over so it's easier to grab
No problem!
can you build muscle in the training mode
Sometimes it takes a couple of tries, as if there is a resist chance for the enemy, it's funny watching me pull on them until it comes off
I have never actively trained muscle, I just kinda got it over time, is there a way to know if you have max?
can you break people over your knee yet?
Honestly. I never tried that, now I'm tempted, but I need to figure out how to lift them high enough first
Is there a way to put it on you in the match
good luck
i got half gauntlets i just took some full oens off someone and i wanna take mines off and put these on
Once you hold the armor piece, just hold the button for whatever hand it's in again
ok bet
also im pretty sure the max is the bar under your weight
Sometimes it may not go on you, if that happens, it's because you lack the required armor piece to put it on
And also if you ever want to take armor off in the match, press H
Ahhh okay
The leg sweep of doom and despair
how can I get my game to save?
It should auto-save
get to 93kg
via wearing lots of armor
I'm crashing and it wont save
and then youj will see depending on your weight
if ur anything below 93kg u are not at max
if you are at 93kg you are at max muscle
I think a crash may affect the autosave feature then. I could be wrong but I have no idea.
Ah bet
it would be nice if they increased max weight
broo i js tried to put on a different doublet and all my armor went flying off my body into nowhere ๐๐
it wasn't arming, or it had chains
Could someone help inform me on the Abyss "Something souls seek vengeance thing"? I do not know if I have to kill every one of them, or just incapacitate
kill
bruh, I gotta kill 36 people ๐ญ
I manually exited and it still didn't save
if you just hold the piece and then end the round you'll have it in your inventory
36 zombies
kill
they slice real easy
36 Ghouls
Yeah, but I once lost a character because they bit through my visor
well he canโt walk anymore
Hmmm. I heard some people had this issue but I haven't followed the situation that closely. You're playing progression right, just making sure
Yes
Man I break limbs so little now. The demo Willie's could take a beating.
please make the zombies in abyss kill you if they take off your leg.
I lightly tap his leg
I broke lotsa knees in fist play in the demo. At least now I can kick them in the balls I guess
You could try deleting the save file? Located in.
AppData/Local/HalfSwordUE5/Saved/Save Games/GameProgress.sav
I'm not sure if that will fix anything but it could
and disable steam could saving!!
What do we do after we beat the Baron and get his Set
make stupidly op weapons
are some enemies like fucking prime mike tyson like I hit this dude in the head 900 times and he still standing
It's also entirely possible that the steam cloud isn't saving your progress and is overwriting your progression
learn martial arts
take a break
You could optionally keep farming the Baron for 1000 phennings each
truth nuke'
i created a overpowered double axe that can oneshot people similar to a flail and also like do poleaxe things
like poke them
or sweep them to the ground
Or make stupidly weak weapons. I made the smallest polearm with no pommel or head. It's just a 0.06kg stick
It took me 20+ minutes to kill a commoner who had a buckler and a mace.
yeah i have three of those in different lengths for free play foolin. they actually take down knights if you're persistent and accurate
it would be funny if the crossbow bolts could be used like melee this way
u can
I like running around with rondels like im Thorfinn
Lmao that's a great idea I need to do this
i wish there was a quarterstaff with rounded metal ends or something
What if you bash someone in with the crossbow itself
deleted the save files quit to menu, then exited out of the game, and progression mode still doesnt save ๐
it works surprisingly well for a piece of wood
What about disabling cloud save on steam for that game? (If it's possible to disable for a specific game)
is there any benefits to just having a back shield?
Understandable, it's like a really small staff, but bulkier
yes
Well you can't be cut in the back
become the turtle
sometimes it can also catch an overhead swing or delay a side swing from the front
the triangle shield especially is good on the back, but useful for frontal protection
Your back shield will protect against my Raven's Bite poleaxe though, you won't be hooked around the back and cut into that way.
disabled steam cloud for HalfSword and I got a windows black screen of death error "critical process died"
๐คฆโโ๏ธ
The hell ๐ญ
what do i need to remove in order to equip the vambrace ?
the small axes are fucking evil
i think chains on ur doublet
does slow motion help you build muscle?
does slow motion help you build muscle?
YOU NEED ARMING DOUBLET
anyone else's game crash when they try progression mode
Yeah then I have to get in my helicopter and take a long flight to my second mansion to try it on my better pc
can you steal the baron's sword if he never took it out?
can i fly in your helicopter
No it exploded sorry itโs gone
damnit
something like that happened to me once
will there be multiplayer in future updates?
idk
just killed abyss zombie baron, dude was a damn walnut to crack open
lol u cracked zombie
restart and set yourself challenges, "This time, I will only use maces" "This time I'll see how far I can get using nothing but my fist" etc.
Likely not, youll probably have to stick to steam remote play
But if it does gr8
I just dont see it running great tho
I don't have to worry about reaching end game any time soon since I have the misfortune of using AMD,. which means I hard lock my PC every 6 battles as the game ruthlessly murders the drivers

I tried this but I still get my game crashed ๐ญ
hi
Max strength fist fights are awesome
Seems like nobody has made any video guides on weapon forging yet, and I'm confused. If I click on the option to craft a pole arm and it has no head, its just a big stick no matter how I manipulate the head size or mass, or select different metals. If I try to craft a sword there is only one blade type available, the messer cutlass type blade. I can loot longswords in game or buy them from the trader, but cannot craft them. Wood types seem to be functioning but the I cannot add leather grips. I am currently Soldier rank. Someone pls help
do you see the yellow arrows above and below the weapon itself in the menu? click them
does someone knows how to fix the crashes of the game?
Hotel
I switched to DX11 and they almost completely stopped
OMG I feel stupid now. Thanks for the help!
dx11 is made for older hardware, so if you are on that, then def do that.
I will try this
I'm on a 5080 and 9800x3d 32gb ram and still stopped the crashes
especially cos the game is still pretty demanding
What's better for swords? More or less mass?
depends, more = heavy hitter, less = more control
remember, you can also test to find the sweet spot you like.
Ok I figured as much. Does grip mass affect anything?
just adds more weight to the grip, i just keep it aalways normal, i usally increase the size tho
beat the baron first try am i goated???
how do you equip spaulders?
amogus
gotta be wearing an arming doublet with the chains removed (go to the armourer)
i see
thats helpful
thanks
guys we all need a plancion buff right?
ikr
do you think that a keyboard
bro I love you, thanks
so very many decapitated zombies
yee yee
It's okay <3
๐คซ
all bludgeoned with my flail!
he listening
is the lords tourney the last tourney?
is there any way to reset all progress its kinda fcked that you cant
im so confused
ill protect you
half swording a giant longsword and you just decapitate them instantly one by one
Delete your save from appdata turn off steam cloud
yea u gotta do it multiple times for each armour part
ahhh
ooo! good to know for next time!
they should make it so zombies keep fighting until their head is messed up, they're so weak
appreciate it
are lighter versions of metal armor have the same amount of protection? like a 10kg breastplate vs a 9kg breastplate?
battle axe got me to beat the game in a week
battle axe is amazing
for me the forest and slums still have terrible optimization sometimes
depends on the time of day
evening and day sometimes its like 4 frams
nice
everything else is like 40-60 fps
ts looks a like a baloon sword ๐ญ
they should make it so at higher numbers to kill, they no/less armor but all swarm u at once
i have a 3060 and it struggles on the slums map only when i look at the view
why
is there a way to play different maps in free play
i have an rtx 2060 which should be able to run on low - medium graphics
i dont think so
its literally only choosing enemies and armour
i swear bro they made free play in like 5 minutes max
no cmonnnn
its good
it does pretty well sometimes but for me its clear that the game needs more optimization
i loved the demo
the game is fire free play just has nothing
when i box a muh fuh they fall too easily
how does the muscle mechanic work again?
I do wish we could atleast make weapons in freeplay
play the game and u gain muscle
Burn stamina to build muscle, scales off of heavier items/weapons carried
I think
the more u fight the more muscle
yes
do i have to do it in fights or can I gain mucle in other game modes
Do the brawls not pop up nm after u hit a certain rank
u can only gain mucle in progression mode chief
i havent gotten one in a min i got strong now im trynna fight
huh... sword is really strong if you use it like a saw
or spam ur weapon until ur screen is almost fully black
Im unsure about that. But i think heavy weapons like poleaxes should build muscle fast, but i think burning stamina in general should work
??
can you do it after you win a match
Idk about training though
replied to the wrong guy
yea
did you know you can bring mercenaries back into the match if they surrendered because i did not ๐ญ
bro i dont trust mercenaries anymore
Also does it make my grip stronger my pollaxe keeps falling out my hands
yes
That depends on muscle yes, but also weapon balance(?)
if ur just starting out play using the flail for a while
if its falling out of your hands mid swing move your mouse slower
or hes too early game
i have never accounted for that, ive just tried to make it as big as possible
its after i hit something
If its front/topheavy and gets caught on something it has a chance to fall out of your hands and trip you easier
oh ya then you just need more muscle/a lighter weapon
On the bright side light weapons are good for non-lethal activities
yo im gonna spit some ball knowledge
are u able to choke ppl in the brawl
soon as i got back from the abyss i beat the lord tournament once more to attain my baron set!
๐ฅฒ
im sure its been asked before, but does anyone know what the colors on the weapons mean? Like orange, red, yellow
if ur almost unconcious click g and hold until its about half then let go spam this multiple times and ull be able to recover and get up without getting hit
its saved me so many times
i lowkey figured that out
Hi if I insure a crossbow, will I always spawn with arrows?
If not how do I resupply aside from he chest in the forest
3 dude hammering my skull wouldnt back off so i was just gonna quit so i held g for a bit and they stopped
How many
only 1 arrow
Yikes
Iโve just been stealing gear from the abyss and maps lmao
I got a chainmail chestplate from the abyss as a peasant
and if u miss ur cooked unless u got a holestered item or find the arrow and reload
somertimes you get more than 1 arrow even though it only shows one in the quiver
thats smart i would have saved so much had i done that
i got 3 reloads before the arrow disappeared once
I always feel bad when one of my militia men dies
Itโs so good
Only for armor though
There's a bolt quiver that spawns in forest sometimes that should usually have bolts in it
One more question, when i press f and i go into slow-mo does that gain muscle because it is technecly burning stamina
Id assume so, unsure because I've never bothered to test it myself
can you customize hair after you create ur character ๐ฅ๐ฅ
I want my willie to be bald
good question I was thinkin that myself. I normally just spam some swings and kicks until I collapse after I win a fight and I got max muscle in like an hour
No his hair is grafted to his skull
DAMN ITT
when do you know you hit max
Willie's back is shredded af
How tall is willie even, 5'8?
Baron pays for carbon fiber hair-health for every willy โค๏ธ
if you are willing you can go into your files and change it
its not hard
hi, do yall recommend me buying the game?
absolutely
do you like doing caving peoples head in for hours
haha yes
if you loved the demo youll love ea even more
inventory, muscles, weapon creation, armor adjustment
to be clear, it's unfinished.
trading
in tiktok i saw some people say that the demo was better so thats why i was kinda confused
It's great, but there's plenty of people butthurt it's not very polished
It kind of sucks in the beginning as the strength system is progressive. You start out as a malnourished street rat
I kind of wish we could play free-plaay/abyss mode with max strength
it is much worse from a performance perspective
But it is well worth the money and will only get better as the kinks are worked out
Physics combat, gore, customization on weapons and armor, silly puysics, environmental hazards, allies, purgatory, and caste based ranks
Game also looks really nice
van someone make like a tier picture thingie of like willie from his weakest to his strongest
so we can see
we can know if our willie is lowk getting shredded
that sounds
๐ฅ
๐ค you can use the sword like a saw, I thought blocking was useless
to be clear, I'm pro "buy it" but people with unrealistic expectations get loud and annoying
Halfsword lagged so much because of dumbass windows that I got myself a Linux
the difference is huge
i dont have a picture though
"I thought blocking was useless" said the cheese string peasant after he went head in first to someone with an axe
does mass correlete with your strength bar ?
Damn you large corporations you will never take my swords and shit away from me
Im just trying to temper expectations as its different from the demo in the beginning and i think it irked alot of people.
does anyone know why the slots for the spaulders are crossed out?
good question
They're the same thing
who you calling peasant? I am soldier now
Show me your load out and I'll tell you immediately
im a man at arms
loool!!!
chuuud
I'm a lord. Quiet down
:V
some slots are unlocked as you tier up @exotic niche
No they are NOT
makes sense
was about to ask the exact same question
DONT SPREAD MISINFORMATION!!!!
colonel misinfo
js dmed you
I took some screenshots of max v what I'm assuming is min but I can't post pictures?
Im a beggar. I stole some lords armor after hitting him in the head with a flail. They keep calling me Baron for some reason. Im scared to take off my helmet and its starting to smell in here
Itโs the shirts
Vambraces and spauldrons require an arming doublet
Are you wearing tunic or an unarmored jack
An arming doublet
#1468371111443042335 just send it here
You canโt wear harness with pauldrons, for example
I think its called the tunic
but even when I remove it
it still blocks it out
Harness blocks it, chains on doublets/jacks block it too for some reason
You need either a doublet/arming doublet or a jack
yea i wore it and it still blocked it out
so arming sword alt stance is kinda better for doing slashes and parries I'm finally figuring out lols
You cant have spauldurs wjth the metal plates on the arming tunic
The chains go up to the shoulders dont they?
Hey guys, when it says "x souls seek revenge" That just means those are the people we killed right??
So if we beat them by not killing them our soul gets auto saved if we die right?
Dm
Make sure your jack/doublet has no chains
Yup!
yeah, I was thinking of pauldrons not spaulders my bad
Yeah, mercy is encouraged. Or blunt
Nothing merciful about a poleaxe heh
Unless its a hammer
I still don't want want to get hit by one no matter how much armour I'm wearing
you guys know how everyone makes their willie like big as shit shredded with mods?
nah even this the spike in the middle kills a lot for me
why not use the mods
does swinging things around in training/sparring give you muscle?
You can also go to the seer and pay off some souls, or go fight them in the abyss to whittle them down. Just be aware if you die doing that, you die for good
pinned messages
to make a super big, NOT shredded willie, like a really fat person
is that possible
like
Warstaff is still the scariest weapon
I FOUND IT
Just a big willie
guys whats the keybind to kick?
space
Because chains connect to the same nodes a vambrace or a spaulder would
also have y'all fixed the super low fps issue with the slums?
Tap spacebar
thanks
They're tied on
wait until you get the baron's weapon
Im not a dev but the devs have started fixing it, it should be better already
it is! But when i look at the sun direction my gpu has a heart attack
there's already mods being made it's been like a week ๐ญ
They're really good
like for some odd reason I feel like a warrior with them
All over the game
The demo has also had mods for a long time
better then the demo even
its all fun and games until people get good armor
yea see
thats when the game gets like
Show me another game demo with mods lol
Even in late game you can choke/penetrate cracks in armor when halfsworing
so polearms
modders r working overtime
im impressed
It's in the title of the game. Halfsword your sword
And immediately brainrot
the children yearn
He acts like an actual cartoon
and he makes fucking millions
Especially when that thing falls on his head
You aren't funny
Unarmed conbat
Or you're just not putting yourself out there
make a Willie like this
how do i pick up weapons that are sheathed by an enemy
Hardmode
but hes extremely good
I dont think you can
I don't think you can
hey
Boowomp
copier
Can we have challenge runs where we play the game like this
tragic
Womp womp
no sowrd for me
Speaking of which, how come there are no black characters in half sword? Surely they existed in medieval europe?
uh
hm
maybe it'll exist later
like a skintone changer
Dominican willie
โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
i no black papi i dominican
can u not
Chat is the Baron racist or nah
why
fs
would the baron be a racist
I think he's literally only seen white people if you think about it
๐ญ
Historically yes.
white people can be surprisingly racist to each other
They had contact with the middle east in 1400s im pretty sure
italians werent seen as white back then
Baron says no black people allowed ๐
Mfs in Europe are racist to people in the next over town. They will find a way
do barons just like start hitting dbz moves when they see a person not of their color
they pull out their stand
where did you find this
Lowk atleast 60% of the population was probably racist
that someone is gonna make a black guy, with blond long hair
also i know the drunk patron errand isn't broken but it still plays 2 soundtracks which is really weird
bet u money
black guy with long blond hair and blue eyes surely
sneakpeeks, a thread I believe so
I feel so close to you right now
Irishmen meeting a British for the first time.
โSo those were the dirty colored people I heard so much about?โ
Rotten barrel soundtrack on top
yakub in halfsword??
I think everyone is in the 1400s
They just don't know better
reddit?
unronically I was on slums and saw a guy with blond long hair and blue eyes
did you kill him
Now would it be safe to assume that the Baron is inbred
threw him off as the gods intended
willie went to detroit
It's ooooooooooold. That's from the playtest pretty sure. They have rebuilt the gore system since then
Are you talking about medieval Europeans?
it looks like way better then the gore we have right now
Theory: Detroit was built on top of where Frankenburg was
They'd be more confused and scared of them.
99%
And the 1% were the nuns
you might be onto something
God forbid they start finding out slurs about them
Yeah I'm really hoping they revamp the gore. I want disembowlment
You could go your entire life without seeing a black person or something.
This started when I asked if the barons prob racist
Theory: 47 is actually a distant relative of Willie
Baron just imagine a person of their opposite color in front of them
motivates them
I was thinking the same thing.
Willy 47
how do I kill the dead with blunt weapons? It's doing nothing when armored
try harder
genuinely try harder
he kinda does
he wears red
and your mercenaries always wear green
just keep smashign their skull in itll get there eventually
the colors are opposites
Or the chest cavity
the jester being an enemy wouldve been a cool feature
Pretty sure everyone would find themselves marrying eachother by accident.
new gore physics?
no, supposedly old
Is the new release worth it or similar to demo? Dollar price in my country is laughably high
Who knows, even in the modern world one could find themselves marrying a very distant cousin.
100% that's why he's like 7 feet tall
๐ it's balls I went and grab his sword, bent down and went ham
tb
tbh
its worth it
Old? those look like its a sneak peek of the EA, i`d say its good lol

Nah the forwarded message is dated 2024 lol. It's from the playtest BEFORE the demo
What features or additions would you say are the most noticeably better
didnt even realize he was dead on the first strike
@crimson compass DAMN?
Half-Sword EA edition
Publisher: EA.
Gonna take on the baron with just the candleholder. Wish me luck, I'm in the final round.
graphics for sure, weapon details, map details, body details, functionalities, more personalized features, better customization
and I believe better bruising and gore
bruising more
EA? Electronic Arts or?
games overall not bad
candlestick unironically so good youll be fine
just a bit buggy at the moment is all
Is there like a goal or progression system now or is it still just a gauntlet gamemode
bruising yes, gore probably not. also blood is bugged if you have an AMD card
yes theres a progressions
Alr cool I'll buy it
you have to unlock and buy stuff
yeah lol, not every game on release is perfect
Progression system yeah
100% easier than the demo
gore needs a revamp
Willie's r meat soup
Electronic arts Accountants
Update, I died
Just injected with blood and flesh
Easier? Demo was already easy enough
Makes sense
The only way to lose in gauntlet was the error 21 glitch
can you kill people by choking? I've been choking this peasant for like 3 minutes and nothing
fight a champion
oof, happens
if your a peasent
if you are a peasant avoid champions
you will get your shit rocked
you can yes, i think its a bit spotty rn
Oh so its like examina?
If you are peasant fight a champion and beat their ass with the flail
JUST dont fight them unless you have a really long weapon
You can also brawl like this in Early Access
fire bro
how do i pay off souls
buttnaked brawling
or a super short weapon that allows you win with a quick stab, like a dagger, knife, or shortsword
I can't seem to find the lady where I pay off souls in progression?"
risks you getting too close
At night go to the abyss man and pay off said souls
she shows up at nighttime
wait until night
FUCK
develops your brain functions for distance and timing
aside from figthting buttnaked, theres a DAY AND NIGHT SYSTEM NOW?
๐ I do double long swords and swing like crazy, usually kills
You also dont need to pay you can go fight them instead (beware if you die doing this you die fr fr and lose your strength)
DAMN A SOUL COST 10???
It lets you choose how many to fight each night
at the risk of the champion just straight up abolishing your cranium
recommation, don't kill them fully if they aren't dead
theres a funny dichotomy where you can get super good with some wackass techniques, or get super good with real techniques, hardly any inbetween
had to fight 56 souls once
What happens if i play abyss even if i have no souls
Yep! It is pretty cool but sometimes the lighting makes your computer catch on fire
You cant
you just
revive
since you didnt kill anyone, you technically are a good soul
and get revived
You put them to rest by running the smoke with them
the rake can be amazing if someone masters hand swapping so that the sweet spot hits constantly
Breaking kneecaps is better than skulls?
im max progress for lord but i can't get into lord tourney?? am i doing something wrong?
this looks a lot better than what we have right now, wondering why they dropped it
lemme let you in on a lil pro tip, when the champion puts both hands above his head for a straight down swing, thats the perfect time to step in, as if you time it right and get under his arms he physically cant drop the weapon down onto you, leaving everything below his arms wide open for a stab
this only works before armor though
then it gets risky
If any of you want a tip as to avoid killing people
no the fact that it took me an hour to kill 56 people
You can knock them down once and pin them with m1 and they'll auto surrender once they realize they cant get up
i got a hot 127 souls waiting for me atm i wanna see how many ill accumulate before dying
Half sword drunk errand pro tip: chop his head off or split him in half so you can carry him easier
bro CANNOT be clinging onto his 1270 pfennings that hard
The real pro tip is to drop a weapon at the end of the alley and the drunk fuck walks there himself trying to steal it
ive beat baron twice now in this run, id guesstimate im on day 100-115, but im completely dead broke cause i keep making new weapons
do yall ever hit a willie with the strike of pure doom and destruction and his helmet flies off
all the time
question for getting into that
how do i get into lord tourney
i have the rank progress but it doesn't let me
like wtf?
oh weird, should be the once-per-day option like the rest of the tourneys
as far as im aware
will NEVER be as beautiful as og willey
Yikes, its already bad enough that i have to run the demo on medium since i have an intergrated amd, but this? yeah no, itll just make my pc explode, and probably increase ram prices.
i had to sleep for some reason
i waited a few days before that but no
i have to SLEEP
lmao
this isnt even the willie face model
gotta be well rested :>
exactly
im saying it's not as beautiful as og willy
Can I get strength quickly if I just knock someone out, and instead of leaving, I just swing my sword or hands for a certain period of time?
yes
How long is a good time to do so?
INTEGRATED????? You're cooked no way you will run the EA sorry to break it to you
I once had a retribution round a bit ago and instead of a kinda armored dude in the cellar it was a base naked willy in the yard
does the craft armor function not work or do i have the iq of a boiled turnip
holy shit i had this bug too
you buy it from trader and mod it at craft armor
boiled turnip iq it is, thank you kindly
Works only on armor you already own, its less of a craft armor and more of a modify armor
2 bald men fighting, back to the basics โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
i'm just incredibly cheeks at the game, i've been on peasant since i bought it
What weapon are you using? Also hold shift while you hit it helps swing your hips
Embed fail..
Why can't i send pictures or videos?
i just crafted a messer but i've been using the ax
I already knew exactly which gif it would be off the link lol
did you load back in yet?
Do i need to be a certain level for sending videos and pictures?
Gotta post more to level up to level 2 i think
usually it keeps progress when that happens
oh it did yay
Ah damn... I wanted to ask a question and send a video ๐
yeah i cheesed the abyss a few times by alt f4ing out
this might make me a freak but i love this detail
what do you have to do to wear cusisses
If you alt F4 the abyss you insta win? ๐
You might still be able to send it in #game-footage-๐ฎ๐ฅ and then forward the link to it here
something like that ๐ญ
i had a glitch actually where my game crashed while fighting the baron, and i loaded back in, did the whole series of fights but the baron was replaced by a regular knight and I still got his armor
Hmm... good to know.... cheers ๐ค ๐
Cheers ill try
is there a way to farm beefing up my dude? i feel like i get sneezed on and fall to the floor
Any better idea's how to get the chest from the cart on forrest? I saw a video that dragging the horse is the best way but... I think he was wrong ๐
As shown here... #game-footage-๐ฎ๐ฅ message
how do I restart progression
I did it! I beat Baron with no mercs, and only using the candlestick!
Ensure you're wearing an unmodified doublet/jack (no chains), anything lower grade won't allow u to wear heavier armor
