[zealous saddle]

obv im talking abt halfswords

[lyric junco]

which half of the sword though?

[zealous saddle]

early acces

[lyric junco]

like the hilt and guard or the blade

[stoic bolt]

the pommel

[lyric junco]

not the unholy 3kg spiral made of pure gold on my sword

[near grotto]

Half Sword Chat artist depiction

[zealous saddle]

[zealous saddle]

[lyric junco]

quarter sword without a mandatory dlc

[zealous saddle]

[fallen glacier]

no dlc? no microtransactions? no pay to win? Whyde I even waste money on this game

[lyric junco]

where is my diamond skin for willie's irises which grants 20% bonus for length of idle premium currency generation offline

[fallen glacier]

Listen I need Willie

[opaque canyon]

This is epic setting or cenimatic?

[fallen glacier]

[fallen glacier]

you using obs replay buffer or steam or nvidia or xbox to get them clips?

[remote crypt]

steam

OBS uninstalled on its own so rn I've just been lazyt

[fallen glacier]

nice. I use to use steam

[remote crypt]

I gotta play more bodycam

[fallen glacier]

man I keep forgetting bout dis shit I need to get it

[lyric junco]

what is it?

[fallen glacier]

game called bodycam I believe

[zealous saddle]

i want to get it but my pc explodes just by seeing it

[fallen glacier]

been seeing clips about it for a while and it looks awesome

[remote crypt]

ye

[lyric junco]

oh, thanks, i thought it was named cambodia

[remote crypt]

it chugs the fuck out of my PC on medium and I have a 4070

[fallen glacier]

[remote crypt]

I usually do not

[lyric junco]

i need to play it rn, that looks like a non vr version of blood trail

i played games in 10 fps with stutters, i can survive everything

i love those

[fallen glacier]

is it realism focused

[dire moon]

Anyone answer about the most expensive weapons?

[native pasture]

Battle of the ages

[lyric junco]

idk i think you need to click that pause button again

[pliant crest]

bonk?

[lyric junco]

i'm making stupid puns

yes good, keep eating shit

[vocal obsidian]

They don't.

Yeah, they don't kill you with one bite anymore.

[prisma ore]

If you have a good spot it's not too tough

[earnest pier]

I wish the bite visually did damage to your character. All it does is make the area bloody

[vocal obsidian]

I think there's no point in that. You barely look at your character when you play.

[earnest pier]

One could say the same for the entire gore system 🤷

Just wish it was on par with thr rest of the game

[tame barn]

how can i get a bigger sword than that max?

[rapid pond]

Thats the neat part

[lyric junco]

you can't make a bigger sword but you can make every weapon bigger than their limits besides it

[hazy blaze]

hey, does anybody know how to use the progression mode character for free mode or how to get more weapons on free mode?

[tame barn]

oh :(

[lyric junco]

don't worry, they are really long at their max anyway

[pliant crest]

guh

;-;

[rapid pond]

The longest sword is the baron's but your longest swords have about the size of a warsword in general, i would say a bit smaller

[pliant crest]

buhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[tame barn]

i was trying to make a katana and a rapier, this is the closest that i got

because yes

[lyric junco]

for the maximum slashing force and the cool factor, duh

[tame barn]

i have 100.000 pfennings

i don't care anymore

[rapid pond]

Theres a guard that kinda loops around if you wanna make a rapier

[tame barn]

? where

[lyric junco]

NOOOOOOOO

[tame barn]

this one?

[rapid pond]

Just press the arrows till you find it, theres also a thinner blade

[rapid pond]

Ye

[pliant crest]

a katana would suck ass in this game

ngl

[rapid pond]

I think theres a bigger one

[fallen glacier]

yea, you can make an estoc

[fallen glacier]

na I think that'

that's the biggest one

[tame barn]

i don't think there is

[rapid pond]

Wouldnt change much from a normal sword

[tame barn]

its just a 2 handed messer bro

[rapid pond]

Try to make it smaller, rapiers have small guards

[pliant crest]

Tell me you don't know how swords were made without tellin me

[pliant crest]

In the picture it is, yes, I'm saying if katana's were added to this game they'd be ass.

[tame barn]

but really thick and heavy ones

[pliant crest]

For where it was used, no, outside of Japan, yes, absolutely terrible.

[rapid pond]

A katana is basically a hardsteel bastard sword thats curved

Cuts good

Also breaks good

[tame barn]

ok now we are gonna have a discussion

[rapid pond]

But eeeh

Voulge over bardiche kinda discussion

Idgaf

[pliant crest]

A katana is not a bastard sword

[rapid pond]

Anyways

[tame barn]

whats the diference between a katana and a heavy focus two handed messer?

the only diference that i can find is the guard

[restive barn]

yes it is

[pliant crest]

The make of the blade and quality of the steel.

[rapid pond]

In terms of size ?

I mean theres like a lot of different kinds of "katana"

[pliant crest]

at least rapier would have a use though, to bypass pieces in the armor.

[rapid pond]

Well yea thats what i said "Bastard sword thats curved with hardsteel"

[pliant crest]

You'd slice at armor and the katana edge would break.

[rapid pond]

Yep

A rapier would be funny but they didnt exist sadly

[pliant crest]

The katana was also never meant to be used one handed, and it was extremely extremely rare for it to be used so.

[crisp moon]

wakizashi

[rapid pond]

And then you have an odatchi

[pliant crest]

Yeah, wakizashi would be the bastard sword imo.

[tame barn]

most katanas were produced with chinese imported steel (that were heavily traded in the time that katanas were used) wich was good quality steel

[pliant crest]

Still not comparable to european quality for swords, which is why they had to fold it still.

[crisp moon]

swooord

[broken oyster]

Any ideas why does my character sometimes hold to enemy so hard that nothing can breake the grip and sometimes he struggle to hold enemy for like 0.5 sec?

[pliant crest]

THe reason japan folded their steel 1000s of times and no where else really did for a major time, is because they needed the carbon added into their iron to make it useable.

[rapid pond]

I doubt you'll "bypass armor", more like "bypass chainmail"

[broken oyster]

👆

[fallen glacier]

they didn't have rapiers in 1475 afaik but they had estocs which are sort of a proto-rapier I guess, I prefer them to rapiers personally. I made one that looks like this

[pliant crest]

All plate armor has holes in it somewhere that chainmail is exposed on.

[rapid pond]

Limpy wrists and weird coding

That will change

[pliant crest]

But tbh, rn, the axe ignores armor half the time so xd

[broken oyster]

Fair

[pliant crest]

It might for real "bypass" the armor and not give a shit

[tame barn]

but most european swords werent that good too
you are looking at the blades that survived trough the medieval period and comparing it to the most common type of katanas.

[rapid pond]

Lets wait until we get more precise thrust controls before introducing modded rapiers and stuff like that ngl

[pliant crest]

Nah, I agree.

[tame barn]

wich is its own survivor bias

[rapid pond]

Kinda looks like david's sword

[pliant crest]

I mean, I'm not disagreeing here or saying all european swords are better, I'm stating the objective fact that the steel in europe is simply better quality and they had better processes to treat it.

[restive barn]

whos david

[tame barn]

yeah 100%
not only that but i think it isnt time acurate

[pliant crest]

If europeans have done anything, it's take other people's technology and figure out how to kill people with it well :p

[rapid pond]

Sellsword arts

[pliant crest]

Fuck time accuracy, where is zweihander?

[tame barn]

ok you convinced me 100%

[rapid pond]

If we get the option for flamberged blades i'll drop a bolt in my pants

[pliant crest]

exactly

[tame barn]

LET ME USE A ZWEIHANDER

[pliant crest]

I just want a really....really fuckin big sword

[terse spruce]

💯

[pliant crest]

I wanna slice a peasant, and it cuts the mfer in half.

[restive barn]

BASZUCKI

[restive barn]

OUR FACES DAVID

WJERE ARE OUR FACES

[rapid pond]

I want to have the capacity to make great swords after defeatint the baron

[tame barn]

ALSO i think it would be just generealy better if we had a rondel type of guard and blade
then we could make rapiers and katanas more accurate

[restive barn]

so u want a katana

[lyric junco]

I KILLED YOU ALL ONCE AND I WILL DO IT AGAIN

[pliant crest]

I'll make you great

[restive barn]

give me ur save file i'll make something for u

Even though that just looks like a greatsword

slamming it into the ground acting like it weighs 10kg I cringe every time

it's not that heavy

you can properly wield it like you would any greatsword. It's not even a greatsword in Elden Ring it's a Colossal Sword

holy shi

[tacit blade]

Hello

[wet stump]

and there was the hope that I needed for this game :)
really been having a good day today, I didnt expect it to get even better :D

[crimson compass]

Still no fix for the floppy wrists its fucking over

[keen bronze]

Can u play this game on laptop?

[rapid pond]

can i get something like that or are mod requests a no go ?

[meager locust]

Gallons of the stuff. Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough.

[past abyss]

HOLY SHIT THE GAME RUNS FINE

[tacit blade]

Yes

[olive basalt]

hows the performance after this fix?

[fallen glacier]

tell me how I knew #halfsword-chat-⚔ message

[desert nexus]

Has anyone had an issue with areas being in black screen too long and losing combats because of it?

[odd kiln]

depends on the laptop obviously

[slow crescent]

Multiplayer when

[keen bronze]

My game is lagging🥹

[wet stump]

there is steam remote play splitscreen co-op or pvp

[soft osprey]

Yesterday, you missed it. One day only

[slow crescent]

😭

[sleek mauve]

are these updates also applying to the demo? the blood updates and such

[wet stump]

(its just pretty faulty but thatll come with time)

[wooden gazelle]

um is weapon swapping fucked now, polearms swap immediately

[fallen glacier]

no

[idle crane]

but that was today silly.
-# Shh dont tell me about timezones

[soft osprey]

Two completely different branches unfortunately

[fallen glacier]

you right tbh. Technically

[sleek mauve]

man they really should lol, to reflect the final product closer

[placid marlin]

One question guys, the update of the messer hilt it's because Landskencht Emporium accusing them of stealing their model?

[tender quest]

it was so good, imagine missing out on that

[cursive folio]

"next update will not be a hotfix but a bigger patch, including new content" NARROW PASSAGE PLEASE!!!!!!!

[onyx moon]

ketchup

[soft osprey]

I agree demo should be updated to be closer to EA gameplay, but, at least everyone still gets to play the demo as it is

[vapid heart]

blood

[sleek mauve]

yuh

[soft osprey]

Rather no update than taken down

[rapid pond]

so good

[rigid thicket]

the one with a spiky pit?

uhh yeah that too

i want hecking guns!!!!!!!!

at some point

[craggy ingot]

You can say fuck.

[little verge]

Oh yeah it got posted to Steam when I was gettign beat up by ther flu.

[plush obsidian]

multiplayer will go crazy, can’t wait

[crimson compass]

Where was the dude telling me the next hotfix is gonna fix the limp wrists and shitty polearms??? I want to grudgepost

[rigid thicket]

its fucking mean and uncultured tho

[crimson compass]

Moai called it

[covert tulip]

w hotfix

[olive basalt]

guys how is the performance after the hotfix

[tame barn]

half swor dupdate?

[rigid thicket]

iirc multi would be impossible here since all the physics calculations would be difficult to execute for multiple players

and such

[tame barn]

like right now?

[little verge]

Are you still experiencing overly floppy wrists after you have achieved max strength?

[regal mesa]

can we get a glock 18 next update? i think it would really fit the setting and be quite a balanced addition

[onyx moon]

will we ever get ai willie with ai responses

[unreal vale]

let my willie swing his willie as a weapon and each win adds an inch

[true dew]

whats wrong with the polearms

[rigid thicket]

a hand cannon would be good enough

[fickle steeple]

New update???

[plush obsidian]

it’s manageable, but will take a lil before it comes out for sure

[tender quest]

improved combat ai isnt on there 😔

[little verge]

We have no plans for Multiplayer.

[stiff falcon]

Ok people is there any way to do rags to riches again or not

[vapid heart]

i want a tiger H1

[fallen glacier]

how have you been mcwonder

[rigid thicket]

i wonder what they mean by "new physics interactions"

[buoyant oyster]

I'm stuck in the demo cuz I got no muns

[true dew]

delete your save

[high mirage]

The announcement mentioned you can tweak blood settings, but I can't find it, anybody can hint me in the right direction?

[soft osprey]

Why is there no patch note for “made the game run perfect now”??

[remote crypt]

It's a nice to have. Not a need to have. Especially when we had working multiplayer mods for the demo.

[low cosmos]

How’s the update?

[plush obsidian]

no plans as of now? or just overall multiplayer will never be added?

[onyx moon]

i was walking my dog

[glacial gulch]

Yeah wrists still broken with full strength

[left saffron]

When will you guys adjust hands widths on grip for swords? Is there any plan for it?
Or what about wrists?

[stiff falcon]

I've tried it didn't work mabey it would a diff way how do I do it

[regal mesa]

ngl thank god, i dont want this shit to end like mordhau

[gleaming aspen]

But it's still rad as shit, we dgaf, have fun >:D

[cursive folio]

not even like "we will look into multiplayer if it possible"? no chance of it being implemented whatsoever?

[soft osprey]

Im pinning this

[crimson compass]

I have not played this hotfix yet since it just came out but as of the last version absolutely yes the wrists are still very floppy. Part of the problem is that after almost every single round it was resetting my weight to 80kg (completely unmodified save file), and i would have to go into the inventory, then back out, then back into inventory to fix it to 94kg.

[rigid thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/true-morgan-freeman-metal-gear-solid-meme-gif-2191240418586885585

[wooden gazelle]

ngl doesnt have to be real real multiplayer, i think just peer to peer multiplayer would be great to play against friends (idk how demanding that is or if that requires servers, just my uneducated opinion)

[fallen glacier]

From what I understand based on tweets I've read in the past from Frank and such, they're focused solely on getting down the gameplay mechanics and such first. Multiplayer if it ever does happen will be much further in the future, they aren't doing anything with that any time soon I suspect. If at all.

[remote crypt]

Make the game a complete singleplayer experience first. Then multiplayer might be worthwhile. We currently have splitscreen p2p.

[vernal pewter]

i mean theres always a chance modders can do it, and it is possible (beammp)

[little verge]

https://tenor.com/view/sunnyfication-gif-20299408

[little verge]

I have been good. How about yourself?

[cursive folio]

not what they said though, they said multiplayer is not planned - not that it's planned after the full release or something

[ocean furnace]

dude its so messy 😭

i love it

[olive basalt]

no.. no plans for multiplayer?

[left saffron]

What about wrists and sword grip hand widths?

[olive basalt]

if theres no plans for multiplayer than why is there a player 2 option

[crimson compass]

Have you used them at all lol?

[rigid thicket]

i dont think its just impossible to execute in a physics based game like this, its similar in half sword for example

[thorn scarab]

what

[odd kiln]

some of the new decals are really low res

[little verge]

Maybe environmental hazards. 😉

[soft osprey]

I planned on eating breakfast but I was running late for work so I didn’t.

Plans change

[glacial gulch]

For the supporter pack i still cant find the music extras in the root directory

[olive basalt]

wdym

[cursive folio]

yep, that's why I asked, wondering if they are open to change or if it's definitive

[fallen glacier]

that's good, same

[rigid thicket]

youd have to synchronise all the physics and calculations between players which is hard to do (and probably theres 100x other reasons im too dumb to note)

[ocean furnace]

still wondering why the brightness varies so much

[pliant relic]

That would be sick if the spikes on alleyway worked properly on unarmored willies

[olive basalt]

ok

[naive granite]

nobody says anything about bloods and we are getting blood updates

[olive basalt]

why is there a player 2 option?

[true dew]

all the time yeah and I don't have an issue

[crimson compass]

They are constantly grabbed upside down, held wrong, struggling to maintain grip on it whatsoever. Switch sides is slow and messes up your hand placement. Very difficult and dissatisying ti chain attacks

[soft osprey]

Nah I’d do it in 30 minutes flat, perfect MP

[dim karma]

I finished hf 15x need Mp or dungeons

[little verge]

We never say never. It's just out of our scope at this time. There are many features being explored and tested but none of them we can confidently promise to deliver.

[olive basalt]

go ahead, do it.

[rigid thicket]

splitscreen

[olive basalt]

oh

ohhh

[true dew]

must've made a shitty polearm then lol

[naive granite]

will we get split screen 2 player keyboard and mouse we need that

[true dew]

joking

[soft osprey]

Okay I’ll ping you in 30

[olive basalt]

:D

[next vapor]

will we get willie abyss

[cerulean cloud]

i aint sayin she a gold digger

[pliant crest]

I went into a brawl, one punched the guy and he fell over, we cursed each other 3 times, on the 4th he surrendered

xd

[crimson compass]

Unironically go play the demo and compare polearm handling there to EA and its night and day difference.

[pliant relic]

John Halfsword aura

[wooden gazelle]

i just wanna 1v1 my friends 💔 fuck balancing or anything, just peer to peer 1v1s

[patent elm]

best thing about half sword is how bucklers still knock you out by a light graze

[fallen glacier]

you can fist fight 1v1 with the current setup apparently

[pliant relic]

Carnage with friends sounds sick

[rigid thicket]

is the update broken?

[odd kiln]

a little

[gilded frigate]

We want blood! And viscera!

[rigid thicket]

aw

[quiet bronze]

Yes you can play multi-player

[gilded frigate]

Be quiet fart knocker

[fresh gyro]

we're gonna need a hotfix for the hotfix fr

[odd kiln]

and the way the blood splatters form doesnt make much sense, it ways spraying right to left and somehow theyre vertical

[left saffron]

@little verge Is there any plan for adjusting hand widths on long grip for swords?
Adjusting their widths wider will be best option for let us swords much better.

[little verge]

Adjustments to grips will be made as necessary to coincide with physics/locomotion adjustments.

Wrist strength 'flopiness' is directly tied to player strength. This will be balanced as needed to function with the strength mechanic and UX.

[plush obsidian]

okay makes sense

[naive granite]

we can 1v1 each other but one of the players needs a controller why dont they add keyboard mouse support for both players

[rigid thicket]

afraid they might take a while or something

[pliant crest]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/m938PicFl1SINBAJe?invite=cr-MSxPUXMsNDAyNTExOTcx&v=17

[left saffron]

Roger that. Thx for let me know

[naive granite]

we need keyboard and mouse for both players do we have any info on that please

[regal mesa]

just duplicate the player character!!! easy as that!!! 🙄

[little verge]

As stated in the #faq it is something that will be looked into, but it is not a planned nor promised feature.

[wooden gazelle]

see idk if its too difficult, as i previously said its my uneducated opinion, but i think peer to peer multiplayer wouldnt require a server right? or is it a "synchronise the physics on both ends" issue

[fresh gyro]

unfortunately for that, there isn't really a good way to get buff in standalone abyss so you're stuck with weak swings

[crisp moon]

I want endless circle celler brawl

[naive granite]

yes you are right

[fresh gyro]

out of all the 3 modes, i gotta say the standalone abyss is the most undercooked, i'd argue even more than the also very undercooked freemode

[naive granite]

currently one player has to use controller on split screen will we get keyboard and mouse support for both players

[rigid thicket]

😩

[lyric junco]

demo abyss is straight up better

[little verge]

I will add this to my player feedback.

Please try to isolate any variables you come across with shifting weight and make a #1465774955009540257.

[opal garnet]

Wasnnt there a steam feature that made you able to play local multiplayer over the internet somehow? i think i remember something liek that

[rigid thicket]

remote play?

[wooden gazelle]

yes remoteplay

but theres input lag because, well its over a stream so its kind of eh

[opal garnet]

yeah that

[lyric junco]

i hope the extra muscle gain post 93kg was not removed during this update

[little verge]

The blood was broken for AMD users, trust they were very vocal about the issue.

[pliant relic]

My only issue with the release is free mode being dull, demo’s one was way better( and it was just switching willies before you get the right one tho)

[tender quest]

[heavy mural]

Where does one adjust blood settings mentioned in the patch notes?
I don't see anything beyond the single "Blood" slider we had before..

[sharp thunder]

ITS UPDATE DAY BABYYYY

[olive basalt]

can we get spoilers on the content that there will be in the next patch

[ocean furnace]

would more options for viscera be possible like disabling decals or disabling rt and stuff

[naive granite]

please answer the keyboard and mouse situation for both players on split screen

[odd kiln]

its broken baby

[little verge]

Not at this time.

[sharp thunder]

wait fr ong...?

[vocal obsidian]

Why and how?

[opal garnet]

F... i thought this could be a valid workaround...

[odd kiln]

glitched and buggy textures

[rancid jolt]

ayo they really did a good job with the blood spatter

[odd kiln]

💔

[past abyss]

I LANDED A BALL KICK

[jagged pilot]

someone knows how to put your game screenshots on the discord?

[sharp thunder]

are you amd or nvidia?

[little verge]

This is being looked into.

[fresh gyro]

the zombies were a good idea in theory but in practice they're much worse than just fighting regular enemies

[ocean furnace]

swag

[odd kiln]

nvidia

[regal mesa]

wait didnt you guys promise an expansive mmorpg with 10000 quests and npcs that actually are sentient???

[crisp moon]

I love queeests

[odd kiln]

and just low res in general

[sharp thunder]

damn ill have to check it out that is kinda sad to hear though

[little verge]

I can only respond to one ping at a time! 😅

[crimson compass]

Will do. I'll make a proper thread in a bit. I have also had a frustrating issue where when I get into the round from the tavern, I need to open the settings menu to force the lighting to load in. On forest for example the trees are floating until I go into the settings screen, then the tree roots and all the lighting 'pops in.' Also, before the 'pop in' occurs (right after loading into the round) I will have 30 less FPS or so than normal. This persists until I manually open the settings screen.

I will try to get a video and make a separate feedback post for that issue as well.

[soft osprey]

@little verge ur cool

[lyric junco]

yes indeed, i would rather fight disfigured willies with battle wounds that actual zombies

[odd kiln]

I mean thats what it looks like for me idk if its universal

[lyric junco]

imagine if there is a spirit realm irl

you won't be in a corpse you never were in form of

[naive granite]

alright thank you

[kind aspen]

where to get hoods and other non-combat attire? i've yet to encounter anything but tabbards (ive already beaten the baron once)

[lyric junco]

you will be just like the moment you died

[pliant relic]

This works very well for progression deaths tho

[fallen glacier]

internally it's referred to as "hell" so it kinda makes sense

[little verge]

Odd that is not a bug I have seen reported before. Be sure to include your system specs anf game settings with your report.

[fallen glacier]

abyss is literally just hell

[naive granite]

yeah my bad

[harsh compass]

yo question, in splitscreen the second player has the chest piece shown in red and I cant unequip or equip any item in the chest slot

[high mirage]

So, fellas, how do you actually tweak blood settings?

[rigid thicket]

honestly, when you zoom out, the blood looks pretty good

[rancid jolt]

shit its still buggy hope the big update they talking is about optimization

[lyric junco]

regular willies with battle scars inflicted by us would be much better

[past abyss]

watch your fucking tone

[harsh compass]

yo question, in splitscreen the second player has the chest piece shown in red and I cant unequip or equip any item in the chest slot

[pliant relic]

Zombies are kinda more tanky and that’s the point of rampant souls

[harsh compass]

yo question, in splitscreen the second player has the chest piece shown in red and I cant unequip or equip any item in the chest slot

[next vapor]

as a long time abyss enjoyer i can say this is the lowest point it's ever been at

[lyric junco]

with something of a escalating waves system

[cursive folio]

I really hope we get more close quarters maps because I love the wall blood splattering

[crimson compass]

Will do 🫡

[ocean furnace]

abyss should let you pick willies or zombies

[soft osprey]

Not in game yet

[fresh gyro]

I don't think so, they appear to be much more fragile than regular enemies

[dense token]

Nah bro we need daily updates

[remote crypt]

I love the superstitious angle of revenants ngl. They only come at night, when you are at your weakest (at death's door willingly or not.)

They got a bone to pick with you, and the abyss is basically purgatory. You either die, or cleanse yourself of the maladies they bring.

[fresh gyro]

much easier to break their limbs

[restive barn]

mr wonderbeast what is your opinion on my tank mod

[lyric junco]

if you have 6 vengeful souls first you get one, then a wave of two then a wave of three and you're free, with some relief periods in between if you have a lot of them and a reasonable corpse limit like idk 4

[little verge]

https://tenor.com/view/survivor-the-tribe-has-spoken-gif-27042484

[soft osprey]

Zombies are definitely more durable. Oddly enough, you’d think a rotting corpse would be less durable than a living human

[remote crypt]

Its mainly because of their lack of needing organs to function I believe. Just the head.

[past abyss]

your

your what

[little verge]

*Revenant

[pliant relic]

What about upper-leg and hand armor? Encountered it on the enemy, dragged it from them but couldn’t wear it myself( veteran ranked, is it only for knights?)

[kind aspen]

i think it'd make the game even heavier than it is right now, plus considering how this community is about mutilation i think they'd still encounter walking skeletons

[fallen glacier]

they're revenants, not necessarily zombies

[nova oyster]

ah yes, I step on a great axe wrong, and it magically teleports to be in my kneecap mid fight....

[soft osprey]

Reverend sorry

[misty basin]

i jsut knock them down and kick their heads in

[placid stag]

oh wow i stayed up till fuckin 3 am last night playing and they update blood when i wake up :D

[lyric junco]

project zomboid made me imagine a cooking pan to be a good weapon, half sword removed the concept of pressure

[ocean furnace]

i just hit the cleanest slice but i wasnt clipping 😭

[soft osprey]

Bro has never stepped on an axe that goes into his kneecap irl and it shows. Sad.

[mental kelp]

need to be wearing a doublet or arming doublet for cuisses. for gauntlets it should be working no matter what as far as I'm aware, so that's weird

[fresh gyro]

i gotta gree

[olive basalt]

slums runs alot better on high now for me. still laggy on epic. riot is still laggy af

[lyric junco]

what's wrong with a easily killable walking skeleton?, a tease before the actual fun, the state in which it is now it is a chore

[sharp thunder]

blood trails look a lot better now

[little verge]

Chausses require you to be wearing an arming doublet. Gauntlets should be able to be worn without issue.

[restive barn]

mcwonder beast i have a modding question why are shadows now pitch black in custom maps

[fresh gyro]

imo making armor be tied to the arming doublet was a terrible, kind of pointless decision

[olive basalt]

i just spawned into a riot wearing nothing cuz this game hates me

[soft osprey]

I left work early to play halfsword, my boss said I’d be fired but I told him the only thing I need is Willie

[mental kelp]

its how armor works

[fresh gyro]

it doesn't add anything to the game aside from limiting your customization options

[nova oyster]

well, when it's lying on it's side, I shouldn't have to worry about impossible shit like that! Stepping on a war staff and being crippled at least makes sense...

[fresh gyro]

this game could use a lil less realism ngl

[fallen glacier]

I don't mind the current abyss, especially the way it works in progression. I think it's a neat depiction of hell. We get a glimpse of the revenants in the unused death screen WIP I think.

[short arrow]

update lets gooo

[jagged pilot]

how does people upload pictures?

[wooden gazelle]

i wish like stationary slicing would be a thing again like from the abyss demo, i can hold a blade to someones throat anymore and then slice it, theres no cuts at all which is very sad

[ocean furnace]

u need to be a high enough level

[jagged pilot]

from the game i mean

[fallen glacier]

for vambraces/spaulders/pauldrons/harnesses you need an arming doublet without chains. For cuisses you need a doublet or an arming doublet.

[jagged pilot]

i mean with the photography

[olive basalt]

easy

i also threw a sword at one knocked guy

he got cut in half

[fresh gyro]

I think that's meant to be proper death screen and the one we have in game is still a placeholder

[restive barn]

"it's how armor works" and a light swing to the face with a poleaxe will liquefy your face even with a helmet on

[fallen glacier]

you have to be level 2 in the discord

[little verge]

This is outside my skillset I have no idea what would cause this.

My assumption would be that it has to do with the overall lighting systems.

[cursive folio]

this is the closest I've been able to get

[kind aspen]

i think it is actually much easier to clear the abbyss now (especially when you get to veteran+) unless you have 3 gazillion vengeful spirits after you
the zombies are easy to kill as long as you have a long reach weapon, tbh at high weight you can just side kick them and they'd fall down

[restive barn]

😔 do u know who might know why

[thick trellis]

Yessssss

[jagged pilot]

ok, thanks, but you copy paste your picture from the game?

[wooden gazelle]

yeah but even that has momentum, like when an enemy is on their knees i cant slice their throat

[thick trellis]

Yessssssssss

[autumn cloud]

that's one beautiful bec de faucon

[thorn scarab]

why my game not launching

[mental kelp]

tis got nothing to do with having to use arming points to hold up armor 🥀

[wooden gazelle]

really wish for it to come back

[little verge]

Our lighting contractor.

[thick trellis]

YESSSSSSSSS

[sharp thunder]

the level of detail on the little trails of blood enemies leave behind is 🔥

[restive barn]

whos that

[restive barn]

i believe it's a decal

[cursive folio]

in all honesty I don't know what that means but Thank you

[lyric junco]

zombies are boring, easy yes, but boring

[dense token]

with the new update there are better blood trails?

[restive barn]

yes

[dense token]

I thought maybe theyd add better slashing

[sharp thunder]

couldve fooled me if it is, looks very dynamic

[pliant relic]

Oh thank you good sire

[autumn cloud]

the pollaxe

[little verge]

Improved draw cuts is on the list of things to rebalance.

[restive barn]

before the blood decals would go in random directions

[fallen glacier]

possibly. This depiction of revenants is also seen on a tower shield in the workshop room, where our character stands around during inventory management.

[wooden gazelle]

lovelyyy

[harsh compass]

question,my character has the chest piece slot shown in red but he has a chestpiece equipped and I cant unequip or equip any item in the chest slot not even the one currently equipped. I tried unequipping all other armor pieces but that wont allow me to unequip my chest armor either

[heavy mural]

Can't find blood adjustment settings beyond the slider we already had...

[silent vessel]

anyone know when they will be expanding the create weapon?

[lyric junco]

comrades brutalizing the baron like they should

[restive barn]

what about nerfing blunts and buffing armor

[round rivet]

my game keeps getting reset almost everytime i open the game. Like my progress is reset and my settings are set to their original options

[harsh compass]

question,my character has the chest piece slot shown in red but he has a chestpiece equipped and I cant unequip or equip any item in the chest slot not even the one currently equipped. I tried unequipping all other armor pieces but that wont allow me to unequip my chest armor either

[distant coral]

wait does any one have hotfix 6 already?

[kind aspen]

wouldn't it be more of a gameplay issue? i find no difference between zombies and normal willies in EA aside from zombies being slightly more durabe and able to bite

[gilded trellis]

yep same dude

[little verge]

There is still many art assets that are placeholders.

[gilded solar]

Hows the performance now??

[fallen glacier]

you can't unequip your chest piece? Are you able to send a picture of your inventory screen? Send it in #game-footage-🎮🎥

[pliant relic]

Gauntlets is not the problem, problem there were with the vambraces. Goodbye Gambeson then

[lyric junco]

i just found out those have physics for some reason

[sharp thunder]

i was getting some serious input lag at the start of matches with this new update when running 4k res with performance dlss when i didnt before

[soft osprey]

well, you can try the demo fix, hotfix might have switched your direct x version, might work for EA. right click haflswrod in your steam library, press properties. in general theres a line for launch options, type in that line: -dx11

[rapid pond]

where wrists changed ? i feel like they are a bit less wonky

[harsh compass]

yes should I tag you

[fallen glacier]

sure

[fresh gyro]

the way the zombies are in-game make them a complete pain in the ass to deal with with no armor and way too easy to fight with armor because they have no technique aside from charging at and swinging at you wildly, at least human enemies can get a good hit on the head on you even when you're fully armored which gives them a sense of danger unlike the zombies that drop their weapons

[covert tulip]

tomato

[kind aspen]

will the clipping clothing issue be fixed? and will there be more tabbard types in the future?

[olive basalt]

i just ate an abyss zombie

[crisp moon]

cloooothes

[lyric junco]

zombies are boooring

[kind aspen]

genuinely think being able to name custom weapons would be amazing

[olive basalt]

the biting mod is amazing

[patent elm]

this new blood is pretty good, the spraying and different types of blood is really good

[lyric junco]

demo abyss was just better

[kind aspen]

and creating custom armour too of course

[cursive folio]

if they keep working on the gore system I wish they make blunt weapon gore more prominent (bone breaking rates increased, caving in heads/limbs, etc)

[patent elm]

ive yet to see how the splatter is on walls though since im playing free mode

[rigid thicket]

how to turn framegen on? its grayed out foor me

[olive basalt]

one problem with the biting mod is that if you spam it too much your character starts arching back and you cant bite anymore

[vernal pewter]

the blood optimisations are super good, i went from getting 30-20fps to 60

[ocean furnace]

same

[little verge]

Ah vambraces also require and arming doublet.

[harsh compass]

cant tag but posted it

new map? or idk about this?

[next vapor]

Zombies are most boring and infuriating in the abyss gamemode; they're not that bad in progression unless you got like 500 queued up

i was able to set my graphics above "low" and have them save, and the game ran pretty okay at medium

but now

I like not losing EVERYTHING

i think they should make it a progression hard mode

no insurance

[hasty narwhal]

Just re add an Ironman

[olive basalt]

no keeping your rank

courtyard over 80 fps now, dunno how i will adapt to the game running smoothy

forest night is lethal to my framerate

thats mb

[round rivet]

along with that, I cant even actually save any of my settings, and i keep losing my progress as well

[ivory flax]

forest at least about 45 fps opposed to the 18-25 i got before 😄

[olive basalt]

try slums night riot with high-epic

[round rivet]

not even to death

[cursive folio]

bro I can barely run high as it is 💔

[gleaming lodge]

Yea especially with the insurance thing

[olive basalt]

yeah slums on epic on a non riot match runs on 50 fps for me

better on high

but it riot cooks my pc if im higher than medium

[lyric junco]

also one good news, the game didn't crash for me and i'm playing for like 5 hrs straight

[olive basalt]

also they should have added more cards for lord

[fallen glacier]

Try this - turn steam cloud saves off. If that doesn't work, goto %localappdata%\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\SaveGames and tell me what kb your GameProgress.sav file and Settings.sav file are

[olive basalt]

riots are so boring

[round rivet]

alright, ill try it, thanks!

that sucked ass but not as much as it would if it was implemented rn since progression mode takes much more time to progress up than gauntlet did

same. I always make sure to stack some souls so I can drink my nightly poison dose and loot the abyss

i rlly like the blood

[lyric junco]

it's better than what it was sure

[wheat leaf]

Ah like it just ‘sprays’ in weird directions?

[lyric junco]

yes

[olive basalt]

is there a suggestion channel?

[wheat leaf]

Interesting, I’m curious to try it when I get home

[gleaming lodge]

When are we adding the secret mcwonderbreast boss

[fresh gyro]

you can already do this, just set yourself back to beggar everytime you fail

[slow lintel]

feedback-bug-reporting

[olive basalt]

huh

[fallen glacier]

I just made 2.5k pfennigs after selling all my recent abyss loot

[slow lintel]

@olive basalt You can make suggestions there

[wheat leaf]

I hate to join the crowd of unending questions and replies, but I saw in a livestream with the devs that they said drinking/getting drunk will be in EA. Any idea when that might come into play?

[olive basalt]

i might

man i really wanna play as the abyss zombie hunting the loser who killed me

[slow lintel]

haha

[gleaming lodge]

They should remove dying anytime you feel like going back just delete your save

[cursive folio]

wait I can run slums riot 60 fps now???? wtf????

[fresh gyro]

you control the buttons you press

[little verge]

#1465774955009540257

[olive basalt]

ok

[lyric junco]

the old system felt more rewarding, you only were able to select classes after getting to the baron

[supple dagger]

Like a permadeath?

[molten pasture]

They gotta add a game mode that feels as smooth as the demo

[little verge]

Oh man you haven't heard?

I am the fatal error.

[crisp moon]

fatal error

[fallen glacier]

If you ever get a chance to check, just at your convenience, I was curious what orange highlighted items mean. Yellow is insured, red is typically abyss, I say typically because I've looted a couple of red items from regular bouts, they were chalices/goblets/patens though. Orange, I can't tell, but orange items do seem to be insured. If you drop them/lose them they will appear back in your chest. I initially thought they were abyss items that had been insured, but that's not the case because when I insure abyss items they just turn regular insured yellow. I seem to obtain orange highlighted items at random, but I'm still looking for a pattern.

[dry stump]

Update -still haven’t gotten the game to save progress at all

[cursive folio]

honestly sometimes I forget this is an early access and not the full game but then Fatal error! reminds me

[true thorn]

@little verge what does RT stand for in RT blood?

[olive basalt]

can someone ping me when a patch makes slums and riots playable on epic 1440p

[round rivet]

okay so first suggestion didnt work. My progress file is 2246 kb, and the settings file is 16 kb

[soft osprey]

re tweet

[fresh gyro]

It was also much easier to progress in the gauntlet

[cursive folio]

raytraced I'm assuming

[dapper coral]

Anyone else finding it impossible to stand up half the time after slightly bouncing into a wall? Full health willie too
I'm very positive about halfsword development but its been a major disappointment to see one of the most frustrating aspects still present.

[fallen glacier]

so when you change settings they don't save, and when you make any progress on your current save it doesn't save? If you exit and re-enter the game?

[gleaming lodge]

Just fire this guy and hire me already

[soft osprey]

i agree

[olive basalt]

are you guys working on making choking actually do smth?

[zinc nacelle]

do i play dx11 or dx12

[fallen glacier]

what gpu do you have

[soft osprey]

whichever runs better on your pc

[lyric junco]

no it wasn't the learning curve is roughly the same

[zinc nacelle]

3060ti

[dry stump]

Yeah, Ill load up the game, goes to character creator screen. I go to tavern and buy some things to get stuff in my inventory and swap out my clothes,. Back out to menu, close game and reopen, same thing again

[round rivet]

generally my settings are reverted as soon as i hit "save" and close the settings menu. my game progress is just gone every time i close and open the game.

[fallen glacier]

3060ti supports dx12 so you can try that but if it doesn't run well try dx11, it supports both

[fresh gyro]

it does do something though, if you choke your opponent they can't attack you back, effectively disabling them

[olive basalt]

YOU MYSTERIOUS LITTLE (you are a mod and an admin i shall not continue)

[fallen glacier]

your game progress as in like, you have to make a new character every time?

[dense token]

guys i love u

[olive basalt]

yeah but i wish they actually died

[lyric junco]

victim 11 yippie!

[olive basalt]

and i also wish i could snap necks with my bare hands

[fresh gyro]

you have to win much more fights rn than you had to in gauntlet

[dry stump]

Everytime I open the game, I have to make a new character, it used to save for the past week

[round rivet]

yeah, and i lose everything, even insured items

[lyric junco]

but they are not harder, if you could handle one you can handle more, plus now you can hire mercenaries, it just takes more time

[fallen glacier]

Go to %localappdata%\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\SaveGames and tell me what kb GameProgress.sav is at

[tame barn]

tysm random guy that turned my sword into a katana ( i wont ping them because in their timezone is 2 am)

[round rivet]

yeah. me too

[olive basalt]

this is my least favorite part of the game

[olive basalt]

so write their name so we can ping them

[tender quest]

https://tenor.com/view/sisyphus-rock-mp4-transparent-color-gif-11114772717737196968

[olive basalt]

when you are about the beat the baron for the first time but he pulls that move

[lyric junco]

i actually enjoy seeing dents in armor, i guess beamng made some dents in my brain as well

[little verge]

When you disabled steam cloud did you move your current save out of the folder first?

Sometimes you need to backup your saves delete the save folder and relaunch then re-add your save to the folder.

[olive basalt]

not the dents

[fallen glacier]

alright make sure steam cloud saves is off, goto %localappdata%\HalfSwordUE5\ and move the Saved folder somewhere else for safe keeping, so that the HalfSwordUE5 folder should then be empty. Then load the game up again and test

[tacit blade]

My Willie took a knife of a zombie to the head, fell down, is alive and not dying but he is braindead he doesn't speak or move or respond to inputs is it over?

[dry stump]

1,908Kb

[olive basalt]

do you think that making us kill baron 10 times for some armor is a good idea

[fresh gyro]

plus now you can hire mercenaries
You had free allies in small buhurt which is basically the same thing

[idle crane]

Just stand up

[tender quest]

or the kung fu grip they have when they grab you and literally sweep you off your feet with one arm

[tender quest]

skill issue

[tame barn]

chrome334

[olive basalt]

never done that to me

[olive basalt]

ohhh the modmaster

cool guy

[fresh gyro]

it wasn't

[lyric junco]

but not in bosses, and now you do

[little verge]

I am indifferent to it. Baron is only the end game for now.

[olive basalt]

no really?

[olive basalt]

will there be new ranks

[gleaming lodge]

Next update will feature something special me and da wonderbeast cooked up stay tuned for sneakpeeks

[soft osprey]

no i think it would be better if you only had a 5% chance for an armor drop from baron

[olive basalt]

i feel like riots should become harder the more people you kill

cuz uhh

theres a reason to riot

[round rivet]

alrighty, ill try it

[olive basalt]

dawg i do not wanna play a roblox game

[lyric junco]

after that you get a set per kill anyway, not a big deal, stupid goal but none the less a goal imo

[true thorn]

true....

[olive basalt]

"half blox"🗣️ 🔥

[soft osprey]

bringing specifically your drop rate down to 3% for that

[remote crypt]

Better than making it an infinite money glitch.

[olive basalt]

when i use the duplicate glitch is always on accident

[lyric junco]

i think you meant percentiles not percents

[soft osprey]

i know what i said

[fresh gyro]

every boss after the third was a pushover if you have the right weapons

[soft osprey]

you get 2%

[lyric junco]

no, i want 3 percentiles

[olive basalt]

i want it guaranteed

[lyric junco]

true

[soft osprey]

youll get 1 percentagiles and youll thank me for it

[round rivet]

alright, so now my settings save

[gleaming lodge]

Just say warstaff

[olive basalt]

i really love sunsets and sunrises in video games

[lyric junco]

only if i get craftable crossbow belts

[olive basalt]

especially in ghost of tsushima and rdr2

they are so beatiful

[fresh gyro]

billhook longer though

[gleaming lodge]

Ass games

[gusty jungle]

hello is split screen fixed in that new hotfix? can’t check right now

[olive basalt]

...

[still moth]

That’s rage bait

[olive basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-prowler-goku-prowler-gif-135137202350286433

then tell me azirp

what do you think about a nice little game called

the coffin of ashley and leyley

[gleaming lodge]

U saying theyr better than halfsword infront of da wondering beast??

[olive basalt]

yes they are

way better

[dire moon]

Is this effective

[lyric junco]

it's okay tbh, people freaked out about one particular ending

[olive basalt]

comparing half sword to rdr2 is like comparing the taste of bird shit to a fancy meal

[little verge]

People are entitled to their opinions. Even if they make me cry like onions.

[fresh gyro]

I find it funny how helmeted npcs have a buzzcut yet we can't give ourselves a buzzcut in-game, sad!

[fallen glacier]

this comes in at 2nd place I believe

[gleaming lodge]

Ill handle him

[dense token]

Bro i love the development team for this game

[olive basalt]

i just looked at the game icon and im freaked out

[dense token]

They made such a fire ahh masterpiece

[lyric junco]

he's so scared

[olive basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/timmytoughknuckles-gif-17877644769817608506

[lyric junco]

i don't blame you

it's not a pleasant game

[dense token]

Does anyone want a soft taco

[fresh gyro]

more like comparing a meal that is still cooking to an already cooked one

[gleaming lodge]

Didnt even hurt

[lavish summit]

is there any way to equip any armor or things in Abyss?

[dense token]

Kinda like comparing a pre wiped butt to an already wiped butt

[fresh gyro]

hold armor/clothes hold q or e depending on which arm you're grabbing it with

[olive basalt]

do you think the rpg series of ac is better than kenway and ezio games?

[lavish summit]

does it like save

[round rivet]

settings save, but not my game

[lavish summit]

like once you exit the Abyss will it still be on

[lyric junco]

i made him sober again my acupuncture

[little verge]

Grab an armor piece and then press and hold E or Q depending on which hand your holding it with. Keep in mind some armor pieces require you to be wearing an arming doublet to wear them.

[fallen glacier]

it still makes you create a new character every time?

[round rivet]

yup

[lavish summit]

will it still be on even if you exit the Abyss

[fresh gyro]

as in after you die?

[gleaming lodge]

Only ac game i played was black flag

[olive basalt]

what did you think of it

[vestal crag]

any idea if the narrow bridge map shown in the trailer will be a thing

[fallen glacier]

in the %localappdata%\HalfSwordUE5\Saved\SaveGames folder, what kb is your GameProgress.sav file at?

[lavish summit]

once u kill all the zombies

[gleaming lodge]

Couldn't get into it ngl

[olive basalt]

..

[little verge]

It will be in your inventory when you get back, you can re-equip from there.

[olive basalt]

what do you think of god of war?

[lavish summit]

okay

[fresh gyro]

are you playing standalone abyss or progression abyss

[olive basalt]

what do you think of any actually good game

oh and you didnt answer my question
