epic willie pictures

i can't send in higher quality, lmao

if you put on the hose of the drunk patron on and enter a brawl you will be naked

[trail girder]

Anyone think of how I could reset the code of the game after messing with it. After making Willie huge, deleting the Saved files, uninstalling and redownloading the game, nothing has seemed to work. Performance dropped to an unplayable low.

[merry ridge]

How to get them

[lyric junco]

wait

[limber imp]

do i get a mercenary or two for lord tourney or is my 5kg polearm enough (my guy is also fully armored and 140kg)

[wheat leaf]

oh icarus... you fly too high

[merry ridge]

Fire

[wheat leaf]

what compels you to strip a drunk man of his panks

[lyric junco]

victim 13 btw

[lyric junco]

nudism

[limber imp]

wait you can just bring him back in pieces?

[lyric junco]

willie what are u doing?

[lyric junco]

indeed

[wind charm]

[lyric junco]

i didn't notice him getting this buff

[onyx moon]

woah

how do you do that

i wanna see them glutes

[limber imp]

my game just crashed as i beat the baron omfg

[wheat leaf]

it should hopefully have saved the progress when you load back in

[limber imp]

compare to my guy (140kg)

[lyric junco]

i can see you use steroids

[onyx moon]

lookie lookie

What should I do to this, how should I change it up

Also I'm currently shopping

[onyx moon]

how is he completely bald

[tough hollow]

zero hair

[buoyant ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/-gif-4470566

[onyx moon]

mine is still this

[lyric junco]

that's a good song

[warped apex]

Biggest splurge was the candle

[lyric junco]

[buoyant ravine]

I already took one 2 hours ago

[onyx moon]

how is his arm not dislocated

literally bent it

[lyric junco]

oh, it has it's place in the world

[wheat leaf]

i wish you could dislocate or break joints, would be pretty easy to perform armbars

[dreamy nymph]

[onyx moon]

yeah

[lyric junco]

you can break joints

[onyx moon]

well not dislocate them though

[wheat leaf]

i mean via pressure like you would a armbar or knee bar

[dreamy nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-dancing-rain-dancing-in-the-rain-cute-animals-gif-8078469411267542507

[wheat leaf]

sure you can kick a knee out or break an arm with a blunt weapon but not really with your hands

[onyx moon]

aa over the top roe

[lyric junco]

oh, yeah, if we had a pressure system i would explode their heads with my 4kg mace

[wheat leaf]

ive had a number of brawl fights end via submission like this, mostly by hitting G though

[limber imp]

i beat the baron for the first time, got my bell rung like twice but i got him

[onyx moon]

my submissions are insane

but they dont tap

[lyric junco]

btw you can have full plate armor as a peasant via the abyss but i have no proof as john farmsword got an axe in the back

[onyx moon]

first day of the game i put someone in the walls of jericho

[acoustic nest]

i have a new name for the barons beak

[wheat leaf]

i found my first pollaxe in abyss and ran it from t4 onward, i havent been able to forge anything quite as good as it

[acoustic nest]

the lobotomizer

[onyx moon]

why he sittin

ouwh

[zealous saddle]

how bad is it

[wheat leaf]

balance point is kinda up to intent/preference but imo thats way too low and a bit too heavy

[candid canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-wow-omg-gif-17428264941961796075

[onyx moon]

another attitude adjustment

[lyric junco]

okayish

[candid canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-desert-speed-idiot-mario-bros-wii-gif-4579521032062283911

[onyx moon]

am i going carzy with these finishers

[wheat leaf]

id put it like 1 sticks width above the guard and around 1.8-2.2 kg

[limber imp]

move the balance point upwards a bit so its on the guard or slightly above

[candid canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-ishowspeed-speed-stream-ishowspeed-stream-speed-nod-gif-1082323842437565509

[zealous saddle]

should i make it lighter

[limber imp]

my sword is as heavy as my polearm is that bad

[lyric junco]

i like my swords a bit heavier though

[wheat leaf]

well first test it and see how you like it

[lyric junco]

like 4kg at least

[limber imp]

polearm 5kg sword 5kg

[wheat leaf]

ive never made a sword i could use well for parries and counterattacks above 2.2 kg

[zealous saddle]

yeah i gotta make it heavier

[limber imp]

i have platea rmor so i just run and kill them before they hit me

[lyric junco]

the game butchered the system anyway so i might as well ignore it

[wheat leaf]

valid

[wheat leaf]

real

its still possible though, can do a lot of parries and neat tricks

[lyric junco]

meh

[zealous saddle]

4kg is a lil heavy so ill do 3kg

[lyric junco]

i don't like accidentally slicing myself into 10 pieces for a cool trick

[onyx moon]

he was getting the hang of it

[wheat leaf]

but you cant hurt yourself anymore

[onyx moon]

dont worry i gotchu

[lyric junco]

and that's the worst

your sword just passes through

[wheat leaf]

visually cut yourself in 10 pieces, gotcha

yeah thats an issue

[onyx moon]

bad willie

[lyric junco]

the biggest trick of them all is beating a baron in 1 swing

[onyx moon]

oh guys i kinda messed up

[zealous saddle]

what abt this

[lyric junco]

balance is off

[zealous saddle]

where should the stick me at

[lyric junco]

make it be at the guard

or slightly above

[wheat leaf]

id line it up with the select arrows for the guard options

anywhere between there and the guard itself

[lyric junco]

good

now test it

[onyx moon]

botched toss

[wheat leaf]

putting it below the guard can greatly reduces your swing impact force, which is kinda what you want for heavy blades

[zealous saddle]

imma just save the settings

[lyric junco]

i would try it first

[zealous saddle]

it seems fine

both half sowrd and 2 hand

[lyric junco]

indeed, but at the guard can be good depending on if you want to strike from above, if you don't then yeah, you can just put the balance at the tip for devious cuts

[zealous saddle]

so its good to craft?

[lyric junco]

sure

[main light]

when is multiplayer coming

[lyric junco]

if you like how it looks

[wheat leaf]

these are 3 pretty solid longsword builds for quicker movements, not as heavy or good for armor though

[zealous saddle]

yeah

i like how the last one looks ill do that

[lyric junco]

they look like regular swords more than long swords

[zealous saddle]

or jus twhat i have

[wheat leaf]

longsword is just any twohanded sword

[onyx moon]

coulda just not begged about kindness and forbearance

[wheat leaf]

max length handle and blade is essentially a greatsword

[lyric junco]

i quite like this design of my light sword

[zealous saddle]

craft?

[lyric junco]

still a bit too short

[main light]

when is multiplayer coming

[wheat leaf]

no 100%

[lyric junco]

like would need additional half a meter

[ashen sluice]

"fps: 40 fg: 23" like ok

[onyx moon]

he scared

[zealous saddle]

so waht do i change

[ashen sluice]

gggggg

FUCK

game crashed

[wheat leaf]

theres definitely longER swords out there irl but i like these sizes as a baseline for the games current handling

[onyx moon]

damn

[wheat leaf]

once they stiffen the wrists up i think proper zweihanders would be possible

[lyric junco]

just roll with it

[zealous saddle]

oke imma craft it then

[lyric junco]

my dream

[ashen sluice]

could zweihanders be used with one hand

[wheat leaf]

i want flamberge blade so bad

[wheat leaf]

in darksouls yeah

[lyric junco]

i tried to use 6kg swords with one hand...

[ashen sluice]

lmao

[wheat leaf]

yknow ive never made a longsword for armored combat, ima try that

[scenic yoke]

my 5kg sword is almost usable in one hand if you get a limb damaged but definitely flimsy

[wheat leaf]

OH pro tip for anyone making longswords, the more dangerous looking your pommel is the better it is for pommel strikes against armor

[left saffron]

Owwww I didn't know that crossguards can change their materials

[ashen sluice]

bro squirting blood both ways 😂

[lyric junco]

if you consider them then the game title finally makes sense

[onyx moon]

i botched a kick

[zealous saddle]

?

[wheat leaf]

its just so hard to make halfsword fighting look visually appealing

[ashen sluice]

ḱíćḱ?

[lyric junco]

pretty

[zealous saddle]

it looks like half a swastica

[left saffron]

I just knew it could be after I saw your screentshot

[lyric junco]

irl fighting isn't appealing either, you do it for the bloodthirst

[zealous saddle]

so this one can stay?

[steady cove]

Why is he naked?

[lyric junco]

idk

[zealous saddle]

ill just craft the knife w this

[lyric junco]

i can't do anything

[wheat leaf]

this is true, but like look at Dequitem on youtube, his fights look beautiful and are generally quite realistically depicted, not so much choriographed

[onyx moon]

when the enemy willie screams for longer than normal so you get traumatized

[lyric junco]

they look pretty because you don't look at them everyday

[zealous saddle]

having the sheild on your back should let u survive all the back atacks

[lyric junco]

it does

[onyx moon]

broke the guys arm so he goin out

[zealous saddle]

i was killed by an npc punching in

[wheat leaf]

yeah i do

ok well maybe they are beautiful

BUT

[lyric junco]

they are!

some of them

[wheat leaf]

some are, at least certain interactions with parries n counters rather than the whole fight cause they usually end in a fairly gruely way. point being looks better than just side to side swishing in halfsword

i got very good at technical poleaxe fighting for armor in demo but havent quite been able to bring that back in ea

[onyx moon]

ok bye

[lyric junco]

i started getting good at sword moves in demo but then the game randomly dropped instead of being rescheduled like i expected

[wheat leaf]

i miss being able to pull off stuff like this more consistently

like this just aint doable anymore really

[lyric junco]

i'm pondering if his vambraces are better than mine

[brave ocean]

does alt f4ing get rid of your progression if ur in te abyss?

[lyric junco]

nope

[quartz escarp]

just get him killed and steal it

[lyric junco]

nvm definitely worse

[lyric junco]

john farmsword agrees

[quartz escarp]

glad to hear that he does

[lyric junco]

nearly full plate armor on peasant

such a funny game

[hallow goblet]

Axes are giving me a headache lol

[vagrant copper]

wait for them to do a heavy swing then punish them

[lyric junco]

i won with it but i still don't like this sword

[hallow goblet]

Even the lighter axes too, they all do so much damage 😭

[crude dock]

why does the blood on the slums map look 10x better than the blood on all the other maps

[ancient sand]

i dunno

some aspects of the blood get messed up with like other maps

[lyric junco]

okay so i think 4.5kg sword may be the perfect choice

[ancient sand]

i found it working well in the cellar only

other maps theres always some bullshit with it

🤦‍♂️

[wheat leaf]

spent like 15-20 minutes making this longsword so pretty and worked so well in the test mode, only to buy and insure it and realize its hot dogshit in combat

[steady cove]

Uhm

[lyric junco]

5kg sword is such a hilt abuse fun

[lyric junco]

earthquake, probably someone at the castle ate a chicken that went bad

[hallow goblet]

I keep getting killed by axes grrr

[ancient sand]

you cant even swing it properly im crine

[lyric junco]

i can half it properly

[wheat leaf]

bruh

poor bro has narcolepsy

[lyric junco]

buffon!

[ancient sand]

he had a heatstroke

[wheat leaf]

i couldnt imagine being in armor during a hot summer day would be fun at all ngl

[buoyant ravine]

First guy didnt even get a chance

[past abyss]

why farmsword

[wheat leaf]

who else is gonna farm swords

[past abyss]

what happens if you kick one

[wheat leaf]

they dont grow on their own

[past abyss]

oh...

[ancient sand]

im trying to operate on him

[past abyss]

is that hs enhancer

[lyric junco]

because he is permanently a farmer

[buoyant ravine]

Damn bro that look like it hurt

[past abyss]

i want all his weapons

[wheat leaf]

pret sure that ones just a regular rondel

[lyric junco]

#halfsword-chat-⚔ message not really, though they are functionally the same

[ashen sluice]

nvm i got it

yeah its 100 dollars

[hallow goblet]

Axes will literally cut through everything damn

[hearty forge]

is there ny green overcoats to match my mercenaries in game

any*

it would be nice to have matching color over cloaks with my mercenaries

[lyric junco]

i love this mace so so much

[ancient sand]

theres cloaks in the game??

or do u just mean the tabard

[wheat leaf]

Barons mace or where’d you get it?

[lyric junco]

crafted

[hearty forge]

the tabard i mean

[vagrant copper]

can you send the stats

[ashen sluice]

this blood is sooo good :333

[pine lintel]

Does supporter edition add anything?

[hearty forge]

i dont think so

its just a donation i think

[tame barn]

emotional advantage against your oponnents

[pine lintel]

Ahh

alr

[hearty forge]

the barons armor is lowkey not that good

[ancient sand]

i dont think you can get a green one

[ashen sluice]

id say that its actually worse than the normal armor in terms of damage

[vagrant copper]

thanks

[ancient sand]

i never encountered someone with like a green tabard

[hearty forge]

me neither

i want one to match my mercenaries :C

[ancient sand]

How the fuck are yall even getting the barons armor

[hallow goblet]

Yoink

[ashen sluice]

beating him like a million times

[ancient sand]

i tried stealing it off of him i cant

[hearty forge]

everytime u kill him you get a peice

[ancient sand]

oh

[hearty forge]

in your inventoryt

[tame barn]

ive created a similar one, but the handle weight was set to lowest
so it was VERY unwenldy

[hallow goblet]

Sometimes when I do brawls I steal the enemy’s pants to shame them

[hearty forge]

so u have to kill him like 8 times

[ancient sand]

i only gave this

have*

wise egg

[tame barn]

yeah you need to kill him more times

[ashen sluice]

beat him again

and again and again and again and again.

[lyric junco]

uuu

i just cant stop thinking about these

[ancient sand]

[vagrant copper]

[ancient sand]

what even is that

💔

[humble iris]

No coif for you .

Noo b.

[vagrant copper]

i think its a chainmail hoodie

oh a coif

[humble iris]

Ye a coif is a chainmail hood basically

[weak ermine]

[humble iris]

Or it could be cloth

both

[humble iris]

Noob .

[vagrant copper]

ragebait

[humble iris]

U telling me you don't have the custom built green tinted barons Kit ?

Noob .

[lunar sapphire]

[ancient sand]

Ok

😰

[lyric junco]

baron in 6 minutes

[ancient sand]

is this meant to make me jealous

[lyric junco]

indeed

[ancient sand]

Wow i wish i was like you

[lyric junco]

not that hard

[coarse nova]

shorter poleaxe w/ an axe or spike head does better ime

[lyric junco]

we should open a speedrun category

[ashen sluice]

jesus

[lyric junco]

baron in the shortest time

[vagrant copper]

what helmet has the most aura

[lyric junco]

the one i had on my black swordsman

imo

[vagrant copper]

sallets are 100% up there

armets look so goofy

[ancient sand]

i love armets with feathers

i feel like a parrot while wearing them

[ashen sluice]

i like the baron's beak but it doesnt have the better blood spray that the halberd does

[quasi mountain]

what is the fastest way to gain muscle?

[ancient sand]

just get tired man

use all ur stamina

[summer cloud]

So.. If you insure something then switch to free mode, you lose what you insured

[lyric junco]

jumping

[quasi mountain]

ok thx

[upbeat whale]

watched his friend get absolutely slimed and immediately gave up 😭

[ancient sand]

might be the smarter person in halfsword

https://tenor.com/view/an-iq-too-high-gif-5217915170191821800

wtf theres orange tabards

[lyric junco]

i would have too

[upbeat whale]

woah

[lyric junco]

surrendering is so cool

[upbeat whale]

ive never seen an orange one

[upbeat whale]

best mechanic to ever grace this game

[vagrant copper]

oh my god im 91 kg

[ancient sand]

i found my twin omg

[upbeat whale]

welcome to "im too fucking rich"

[lyric junco]

cheers!

pawning off

i just sold it for 1400

yup

i imagine this is how that 105kg willie guy got 190k

[violet ibex]

[lyric junco]

shh be quiet, or the employed people will hear

robbing weapons is also a viable strat, and a motivation to keep your insured

3455 to 3583

another 130 to already 196 from the winnings

you can earn a lot if you think about beaing as big of a thief as you have to be irl

[rough moat]

If anyone wants to know how to use the crossbow in free mode, what they have to do is secure the crossbow at the trader in progression mode (with its quiver and bolts), then go to the free mode loadout and equip the crossbow.

[humble iris]

(^ or you can just find it and insure it!!!)

[rough moat]

that's why

[humble iris]

go on

[rough moat]

since no enemy has it and it's not being bought (at least as far as I know)

[tawny shard]

they need to add online play to this game

[rough moat]

yeah

[humble iris]

you can find it in the fores t!

[rough moat]

But you can play them with Parsec (if you have problems with Steam Remote Play).

[gritty salmon]

how it feels to crumple from arm hits

[rough moat]

I've gotten the crossbow with the bolts in the same game twice!

[gritty salmon]

OHHH

[humble iris]

thats amazing dude!!!

[gritty salmon]

W

they fucked up the gear balancing so hard

[lyric junco]

perfect tag

[rough moat]

The probability of finding only the crossbow is estimated at 20-25%, and the bolts slightly less.

[ashen sluice]

average peasant in this game

commoner gonna pull up in full plate

[lyric junco]

real

[gritty salmon]

personally i would love it if the game just made it so you couldnt steal from mercenaries

baron cuirass

[lyric junco]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-gif-68361748744548719

[hearty forge]

bro how tf do i send a ss on pc

[ashen sluice]

i probably could

its just /Ɱɵdɣ̃ʈtɜɽɢ̃tʝæ/

[lyric junco]

that's crazy

[ashen sluice]

oh

that

[sharp thunder]

couple decent blocks

enemies with the hoe always scare me

[gritty salmon]

cuirass

but

im a peasant

WHY DO I HAVE A CUIRASS

[ashen sluice]

20k pfennings

[pine lintel]

How do u get tabards?

[signal wedge]

off of your enemies corpses

[ashen sluice]

steal them

[pine lintel]

So I hold q on enemies?

[ashen sluice]

silly mod what you know about rob zombie

[lyric junco]

helmet power

[ashen sluice]

that has more armor than the baron cuirass lol

[lyric junco]

indeed

baron is so unarmed

he is the og beggar

[honest cloud]

I'm having the worst fucking time ever trying to do this Knight Tourny

[signal wedge]

he's aight

do you mean the band or the movies

[honest cloud]

They have to of fucked up the blunt damage values because even on the lowest amount of player damage they'll hit me Once and I instantly get knocked down and killed

[pine lintel]

Use longer range weapons

and hire mercenaries

[ashen sluice]

theres movies? i meant the band

[lyric junco]

they really did, here i soloed the baron in 6 minutes because of this

[honest cloud]

I'm using a polearm

[pine lintel]

Use warstaff

the staff with the spikes

[honest cloud]

Frankly the spears all feel way worse in this version but I'm not exactly sure what's the cause

Possibly just the fact that the game runs slightly worse makes aiming harder probably something with the wrists or whatever I've been reading about. In any case it's less fun and I'm getting pissed off yo

[lyric junco]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-jesse-pinkman-ok-okay-confused-gif-27159903

[pine lintel]

one warstaff hit to the neck of anything with armor is normally enough to knock them down

[humble iris]

Fuck no

Crutch weapon

Burn it

[pine lintel]

Ik

[lyric junco]

does 4kg mace count as a warstaff?

[ashen sluice]

it actually kinda sucks in terms of killing knights with poleaxes

[pine lintel]

Works for me idk

I just dodge their attack and then hit them a couple times in the neck

[scenic yoke]

yeah i find that the warstaff is a less effective polearm compred to a pollaxe with 4 spikes or the heavyweight hammerheads

seems to weigh less too

[pine lintel]

Yeah but most times it phase through armor

so it can do crazy damage

[ashen sluice]

knight brawl with first blood is kinda crazy lmao

[pine lintel]

Brawl is my favourite gamemode tbh

[scenic yoke]

i have seen a stridahsangels clip where he almost decapitates a full plate knight with it so i can see the appeal

[ashen sluice]

i found a bug in old demo

devs pls fix

[cursive folio]

absolute cinema

[gritty salmon]

why is this possible in peasant

beggar*

[lyric junco]

so fun to abuse willies with it

[gritty salmon]

you can get the scythe from the cellar i got the curiass somehow IN THE SHOP (i had purposefully reset the night to make sure the game recognized me as a beggar) and i havent even done any mercenary stuff yet

[lyric junco]

i robbed most of my peasant armor off mercenaries, the rest is from abyss

[lyric junco]

really unwieldy

[sharp thunder]

nasty 1v3

[lyric junco]

seems pretty peaceful imo

[sharp thunder]

yes i introduced them to my flail it was very nice! :D

[lyric junco]

at least they survived

[gritty salmon]

ok so the champion has a helmet

how do i rob a mercenary thats really powerful he needs to get killed

theres no traps in peasant

[sharp thunder]

my favorite is halfswording a longsword and sticking the tip of the blade into their face

[lyric junco]

SAME

[sharp thunder]

sooo satisfying

[sullen wagon]

dear god

[gritty salmon]

do beehives work??

[sharp thunder]

https://giphy.com/gifs/cuco-hydrocodone-B2yx2waduwLy6bdeUY the state bros in

[gritty salmon]

on mercenaries?

[lyric junco]

i feel so not used to the new sword handling

[gritty salmon]

@lyric junco ^

[lyric junco]

yes

[gritty salmon]

do i have to drag a mercenary to a beehivew

oh my goodness

[open spoke]

anyone know how to get a visored sallet? I'm at knight level and I still dont see it in the shop

[lyric junco]

you can allow champions to kill them

[gritty salmon]

the champions keep dying

even when im holding the guy back

with my scythe

because he has a sword

even with their spears

they keep running directly into range of his sword and getting chopped up

[lyric junco]

i guess you get free money until he doesn't win

[sharp thunder]

just bullying these champions XD

halfswording with pokey pollaxe? no not really

but its fun as hell

[gritty salmon]

he finally died

also he had a cool ass set of green

peasant btw

now i go to armorsmith

[lyric junco]

it feels so satisfying when you win with a sword agains a pollaxe user

[gritty salmon]

i havent finished yet

😭

[lyric junco]

same

[gritty salmon]

ok i got my cuirass fixed up

[ancient sand]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/manVDtbBn3ujyCJN1?invite=cr-MSx4VkgsNDU3MTQwMzg0&v=12

[gritty salmon]

now i need better mercenaries

[ancient sand]

i think he doesnt wanna fight anymore

[lyric junco]

you can get spaulders and cuisses and the shin thingy as a peasant too

[gritty salmon]

this is NOT what i need

[lyric junco]

i'm not sure about hauberk though

[gritty salmon]

do i have to go to the abyss

or smth

[lyric junco]

yes

[gritty salmon]

ok

[sharp thunder]

i like how slicing enemies used to just spawn a rain cloud of blood above them lol

[gritty salmon]

also counselor staff is such a broken weapon still

for some reason

[lyric junco]

for real leg and arm armor

[gritty salmon]

it literally

slices

like

what

[lyric junco]

as well as chainmail skirt

[ancient sand]

😭

dude the controls are so booty in the itch io version

thank god they got improved

[sharp thunder]

fr

[sharp thunder]

by gods bones!!!!

[lyric junco]

Wretch!

[naive depot]

what dose the GHM written in blood mean

[naive depot]

found it on forest and allie

[mental kelp]

galaxyhighmarshall

[lyric junco]

show us

oh

how boring

[ancient sand]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/manUOnokyxwhhiF8v?invite=cr-MSw4ZGQsNDU3MTQwMzg0&v=12

[lyric junco]

thought it would be something like "get high mommy"

[naive depot]

he the model that stuf

[lyric junco]

but you're right

[naive depot]

is he the one that modeld that stuf*

[lyric junco]

forgot about that name

the one who made us all bleed

ok polearm user

[gritty salmon]

ok so this is just luck

why did it take me years just to get foudls

[lyric junco]

yeah it is luck to find armor in abyss

[fallen glacier]

got the two tone doublet it's a 1 of 1

[gritty salmon]

im just going to equip some of my insured items that are older and say that i did the abyss part

because i got shown its possible

it took ages

to get foulds

naturally

[lyric junco]

it is lol, i died in the process

[gritty salmon]

ok but it is still insane how it didnt even take that much effort to get this geared

robbing the mercenary wasnt even required because one of the champions had a helmet

i only robbed him afterwards because he had a cool ass color combo

[lyric junco]

reminds me of samara, beggar king

[gritty salmon]

also this is actually missing a cuirass

i got the cuirass in beggar tier

[lyric junco]

indeed

no idea how

[gritty salmon]

this is bonkers

[gritty salmon]

i got it from the trader after resetting the day (i rested multiple times because there was somehow man at arms tier stuff accessible after i retired)

and it was just there

i dont know

it hasnt reappeared

[lyric junco]

insane luck

[gritty salmon]

it was 110 pfemmings

ok so i should get a big pavise so i have back armor extra

and then ill just equip poleyns

and sabatons

[warped apex]

Now that I am back home I can work on this

Or shall I nap and finish it tonight

[fallen glacier]

Further investigation of the orange highlighted items - my main recently died so I had to create a new character and inherited all of the items etc. I noticed looking through the old inventory with the new character, none of the previously highlighted orange items were orange, they were turned yellow I believe, I'll need to double check.

Also, looking through the trader, none of the items he had for sale were orange either. I'm going to continue investigating.

[lyric junco]

weird

i only get orange items when i kill a lot of zombies in the abyss with an insured item

[warped apex]

I ate indian food than pizza

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-gif-18890916

[gritty salmon]

i can just tell you

[fallen glacier]

Even the panzu I had were no longer orange, they'd always been orange

[gritty salmon]

what orange is...

[fallen glacier]

sure

[lyric junco]

you had the legendary panzu?1

[fallen glacier]

3 of them yea lol

[gritty salmon]

orange is just abyss stuff thats been insured
if you drop something in the abyss and pick it back up sometimes it turns into an abyss item idk its weird and buggy

[fallen glacier]

this is wrong

[gritty salmon]

no its right

[lyric junco]

indeed, but it's random

[gritty salmon]

its buggy and weird

[warped apex]

I wish grappling and striking was still op

[gritty salmon]

?

it is still op

[fallen glacier]

it's not though. If you loot something from the abyss go insure it see what color it turns

[warped apex]

It was way bettef before

[lyric junco]

reached 97kg

[gritty salmon]

wait

but

thats what i was told orange was

and thats what happened when

[fallen glacier]

orange items certainly seem to be insured, but I've obtained them plenty of times outside of the abyss seemingly at random. And they seem to be tied to items that have a set amount, if that makes sense

[gritty salmon]

im confused now

[fallen glacier]

That's what a lot of people believed at first, myself included. But it's a misconception

[gritty salmon]

abyss items are red and insured items are yellow but the abyss items i'm insuring are yellow

what

[fallen glacier]

yeah exactly

[ancient sand]

https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/maokFzOQgbRpfMhXO?invite=cr-MSxma20sNDU3MTQwMzg0

it cant be that hard to get up

[fallen glacier]

I've been investigating what exactly causes orange highlighted items for a few weeks now, it's not that simple

[lyric junco]

shadow mass still 81kg though

[elder wing]

is hs working on more voice acting?

[fallen glacier]

This whole discovery of death = causing your orange items to unorange is an odd development as well

Before I died, 2 of these 3 great axes were orange

I've been looking at the code even, internal files and such to see if I can make sense of anything

[lyric junco]

97kg celebration brawl

[fallen glacier]

sad too cus I just recently hit 96kg on my main. Now I gotta start over

But it was worth it, cus I figured out how to get the two tone doublet

[lyric junco]

why is this silly game so addictive

[hearty forge]

what arm armor is that

[lyric junco]

vambrace, pauldrons and half gauntlets

[hearty forge]

alr ima try to get dat

[lyric junco]

half gauntlets with chainmail attached

[hearty forge]

half better then reg gauntlets?

[lyric junco]

and vambraces look like this

[hearty forge]

alr bet

[lyric junco]

i think chainmail is better than leather

[fallen glacier]

you're also sacrificing a bit of plate too though

[hearty forge]

how many kg are those vambraces

[fallen glacier]

I like the chain half gauntlets personally. Blackened

The blued half gauntlets have no glove at all

[gritty salmon]

OOO

[lyric junco]

true, but there are no holes on my hands

[gritty salmon]

\

WHAT THE FUCK

[lyric junco]

greaves yippie

[gritty salmon]

ok wait so i should just play slums and forest and loot them

[lyric junco]

pov: you just lost a battle

[scenic yoke]

my friend once said "W physics slop" to my chagrin

he may be right

[gritty salmon]

full plate peasant might be possible

hold on

[lyric junco]

i agree with your friend

[gritty salmon]

if i can get greaves in peasant

[lyric junco]

it is

[gritty salmon]

yours wasnt full plate

[lyric junco]

you can get cuisses and arm armor in the abyss

i saw it

[lyric junco]

yup

[gritty salmon]

hm

this game

is BALANCED

HE FELL LOL

he lunged for me with his hoe and slipped off

gulp

[gritty salmon]

ok now im at peasant tourney

but im not going to do it yet

[hearty forge]

i cand find those vambraces

[scenic yoke]

i always thought it a bit more refined but honestly at this point 😅 i love it but i cant argue with the facts here

W physics slop

[lyric junco]

hard to find indeed

[hearty forge]

did u loot them or buy from store

[lyric junco]

i robbed them off a corpse

i saw a guy have more armor protection so i took it

[fallen glacier]

A wild hand appears!

[lyric junco]

lmaoo

[gritty salmon]

wait you can be black?

[lyric junco]

you never saw someone having long hair irl?

[gritty salmon]

what

what is this

is this modded

[lyric junco]

you're so silly

[fallen glacier]

no

[lyric junco]

this is an armet

[gritty salmon]

wait

OHH

ITS AN ARMING DOUBLET

im stupid

[fallen glacier]

no it's not, it's just a regular doublet

[formal sparrow]

What is it about the physics system that causes swings to be weird in EA vs demo where everything was more fluid?

[fallen glacier]

arming doublets don't look like that

[lyric junco]

yeah, armet is a helmet, lol

[gritty salmon]

wrists are ass

because

the muscle system was added

[scenic yoke]

lmfao

[gritty salmon]

and everything in willie is connected

that caused a lot of unintended issues

[scenic yoke]

modded in cj

[clear yoke]

Using lighter weapons can help with some of the transition jank tbf

[formal sparrow]

I see, interesting. So the janky wrists cause weird physics. Actually kinda neat

[lyric junco]

my skill evaporates when i start recording

[fickle steeple]

does your character just flinch alot more now than in the demo

[fallen glacier]

that's why you gotta always keep replay buffer going so then when something cool happens you clip it

[clear yoke]

Or just record a lot tbh

I felt like that in CS:S a long time ago until brain got used to it

[scenic yoke]

some reason its like at the start of a fight my character does more exaggerated autoguard moves but when i start swinging its like it almost goes away entirely

[gritty salmon]

ok so new progress

in peasant

[lyric junco]

swords are so silly sometimes

[fickle steeple]

like i take one bit of blade damage and my character has a major spasm for a brief second

[scenic yoke]

i missed that dang scythe

[gritty salmon]

you can get it in the cellar

in a non brawl

[scenic yoke]

i see

[gritty salmon]

it might spawn on the wall

also a rake can

[scenic yoke]

why cellar has so many secret weapons

[gritty salmon]

not the regular old pitchfork though

[scenic yoke]

like the rondel dagger

[gritty salmon]

wat

[clear yoke]

Where else you gonna store your gear

[lyric junco]

rondel spawns on knights as well

[scenic yoke]

on the table i the cellar

u can find it occasionally

[scenic yoke]

i think they can be bought too not rlly rare per say not liek yhe schthe is

[gritty salmon]

oh hey theres a chest

you see this

[fallen glacier]

armets aren't always a good choice

[gritty salmon]

a scythe can somtimes spawn there

[gritty salmon]

where is his neck protection

[lyric junco]

true

[gritty salmon]

oh right its lord tourney

[lyric junco]

armets are inferior

[fickle steeple]

has that chest always hidden something in the cellar

[lyric junco]

i meant armet as in doublet but my brain is made from jelly

[fickle steeple]

i tried looking inside but there was nothing there for some reason

[fallen glacier]

sometimes there is sometimes there isn't

[gritty salmon]

wait this is the orange right

waiiit

i mnight have discovered why it turns orange..

its because its equipped to your belt

new theory

[fickle steeple]

or you probably brought it from the abyss

[gritty salmon]

abyss items are red

a abyss item equipped to your belt turning orange because its yours now

hmm

[fickle steeple]

wasnt it always orange?

[gritty salmon]

no its red

[fickle steeple]

i genuinely dont remember it being red unless im crazy

[tranquil lantern]

One day the gambeson wont clip as bad as it does now🥺

[scenic yoke]

unequip and check if its white to find out right :p

[maiden sigil]

Pffft, quite the workout huh?

[scenic yoke]

i made this exact sword and i hate it

[maiden sigil]

Oh I think it's orange because you got it from the abyss?

Ah btw fun fact: Now I just learned insured items can be used in freeplay!

[gritty salmon]

moment of truth

[lyric junco]

https://tenor.com/view/my-man-mood-muscles-are-georgia-gif-19093752

i need the mooscles to grow

[scenic yoke]

the new sword i did is like a ~5kg twohanded falchion

[gritty salmon]

wait

[maiden sigil]

Terryfing...

[gritty salmon]

then

[scenic yoke]

its a lot more controlled than the flimsy 4.2kg longsword

[gritty salmon]

what

i did a test

lantern is equipped

counsellor staff isnt

is orange just the abyss color

no but theres red

[maiden sigil]

It is.

[scenic yoke]

honestly the orange thing is a total mystery to me too...

[nimble cypress]

anybody else here still playing on the demo

[maiden sigil]

I think

[gritty salmon]

this is some other guys abyss items btw

[maiden sigil]

I sometimes do, sword combat feels waaay less... random there

[gritty salmon]

WHY IS IT ORANGE

[fallen glacier]

this isn't orange, it's red

[scenic yoke]

yeah different colors

weird asf

[nimble cypress]

im broke and my pc is shit lmaoooo

[gritty salmon]

MY SCYTHE?

[gritty salmon]

but

[gritty salmon]

MY SCYTHE ISNT EVEN FROM THE ABYSS]

[fickle steeple]

is it just me or does holding rmb and alt cause your longsword to be a bit stronger

[gritty salmon]

WHAT

MY SCYTHE ISNT FROM THE ABYSS

dfjiewahfuy7aefy7r4e

[fallen glacier]

Abyss red looks more like a dark orange. The orange I'm talking about is this color

[gritty salmon]

gfuaseugfu

[gritty salmon]

WHAT THE FUCK IS ORANGE

[fickle steeple]

cuz im getting like wayyyy easier cuts on my part

[fallen glacier]

Orange items =/= from abyss

[maiden sigil]

Oh how shit is your PC?
Mine's also pretty poor, It has a GTX 1050 Ti and 16 GB of RAM
Poor thing barely runs the game

[scenic yoke]

good god the stronk

[gritty salmon]

no it is in some way

[fallen glacier]

no, it's not. I've obtained plenty of items that were orange outside of abyss

[gritty salmon]

ok wait

then WAHT IS ORANGE

WHAT IS IT

[maiden sigil]

Also, for some reason FPS drops by like 30% in first person

[gritty salmon]

WHTYYY

[nimble cypress]

cpu: ryzen 5600g
gpu: igpu

[odd kiln]

jesust I dont even want to know what your game looks like

[scenic yoke]

some helmets in first person are also entirely unusable 😅

[nimble cypress]

i play in 720p

[fallen glacier]

To reduce settings further in an attempt to conserve more resources:

1. Exit Half Sword then download the attached engine.ini.txt file and rename it to engine.ini

2. Press Windows key + R to bring up a Run box, in the Run box put %LOCALAPPDATA%/HalfSwordUE5/Saved/Config/Windows/ and click OK or press enter.

3. Once you're in that directory place the engine.ini file there. Right click>Properties on the engine.ini file and check the Read-Only box, or it will get deleted upon starting the game.

[maiden sigil]

It's uhhh, It's alright tbh, would compare it in looks to battlefield 4 (Cannot send images here)

[ashen sluice]

why is it red

[fallen glacier]

Also not sure if this is common knowledge but depending whether your left or right click on a weapon in your weapon wheel determines what hand it equips to

[odd kiln]

#photography📷 ?

[sand kestrel]

why the FUCK IS THIS MAP SO LAGGY

[scenic yoke]

abyss items are red, orange is something else

[ashen sluice]

mine is a little more red than that

[scenic yoke]

any item from the abyss comes up red im pretty sure weapons and all unless you insure them

[gritty salmon]

WHAT

IS

ORANGE

[fallen glacier]

calm down fam

[gritty salmon]

thats Not TRUE

[scenic yoke]

good point...

waddafuk

[gritty salmon]

I insured a goblet (expensive)

and it turned YELLOW

[scenic yoke]

something is strange

[gritty salmon]

WHAT I SORANGE

[fallen glacier]

that's what he said

[gritty salmon]

i have a theory

orange is the demon colors or smth

[fallen glacier]

bro you are tweaking

[gritty salmon]

and then you orange it

but

oranges

[lyric junco]

ngl i might be a weaponsmithing addict

[gritty salmon]

does that mean we are getting oranges in halfsword

oranges

ORANGES

[fringe river]

man I love playing the falling over simulator

[gritty salmon]

OERANGRa

ORANGEAE"

Or gay

ORANGE

[scenic yoke]

this is a deranged game theory

[odd kiln]

@maiden sigil slightly less horrible than I expected actually

[scenic yoke]

i love playing the break my arm and cant use any weapon simulator

[fringe river]

I’ve had this happen the past five rounds

[native vortex]

Who’s ur plug bro😭

[maiden sigil]

Good to know~!
Hopefully as game progresses, devs will manage to optimize it a bit, they as a small studio prolly know best that recent hardware prices cannot allow for a "Eh the buyer will just upgrade" mindset

[lyric junco]

more like how sharp shaped it is at the end

[gritty salmon]

I WILL TURN YOU ORANGE

[native vortex]

I’m not clever enough for this

[fickle steeple]

i love getting a major concussion and immediately losing

[maiden sigil]

Kinda funny how the DEMO looks way better

Prolly bc it's more stable so it allows for higher graphics

[lyric junco]

0.4 looked the best

[odd kiln]

they definitely still need to optimize it but at the same time the 10 series is 10 years old at this point 🥀

[odd kiln]

It definitely doesnt if youre playing on max settings

[lyric junco]

1080ti is the best gpu ever

[vapid hull]

They look the saame whaaaat

And on low settings the ea looks wayy betterr

[fringe river]

I still play the demo mainly after beating the baron in EA, it’s just better imo

[maiden sigil]

True... man~ Shame I allowed myself to get talked out of upgrading the PC in september last year

[quasi talon]

mods really be making actions huh

[fickle steeple]

demo just somewhat feels a bit more vibrant meanwhile the early access feels darker

[scenic yoke]

yeah the max settings looks real nice but idk how any pc can do it i mean mines a lil out of date i admit but i5-9600k & 2070 super do low at 40-80fps and max at like 10-30fps depending on map and foe count

[odd kiln]

I get ~60-90 depending on the map with a 4070S on max settings (except shadows on high)

[scenic yoke]

thats with high performance dlss

[fickle steeple]

either due to the colorful clothing or the lack of filter

[scenic yoke]

that does rule

[odd kiln]

*with frame gen to be fair but the input delay barely matters in a game like this

[scenic yoke]

i never could get behind frame gen but the fps boost is incredible

[ripe nest]

I find the input delay very noticeable

[scenic yoke]

i still do dlss tho

[scenic yoke]

just hurt my eyes a little

[gritty salmon]

HE DIDNT TURN ORANGE

Orange theory: DENIED

[fallen glacier]

it's 25 years later from the demo and the baron (a sadistic psychopath) is ruling the city you're seeking refuge in as a beggar, who is staying in a tavern making scraps by participating in illegal fight clubs run by the tavern owner and jester. It's a bleak scenario.

No wonder Willie looks so much older and jaded.

[odd kiln]

you can hardly even see it in HS unless you specifically pay attention to the egdes of your screen

[gritty salmon]

He is not orange

[lyric junco]

i'm so bad at fighting that i've gotten exceptionally good at not falling down, lmao

[ashen sluice]

its been 4 weeks since half sword early access!!

[lyric junco]

nah, willie actually became a baron, you are the next generation of willies

[scenic yoke]

hard to believe i bought it on day one atp lmfao feels like no time at all

[fallen glacier]

og willie is the duke I'll die on this hill

[gritty salmon]

GAUNTLETTSSS

[scenic yoke]

getting a knockout with gauntlets in a riot is hilarious and feels awesome

[gritty salmon]

what are riots?

im a peasant

[odd kiln]

1v5

[scenic yoke]

riots are 1v5

[scenic yoke]

or 2v5

[gritty salmon]

im just a peasnat

[lyric junco]

so will i on the hill that the heavier the sword the better

[gritty salmon]

wait

1v5?

so could i go to a riot

[scenic yoke]

and 2v5

[gritty salmon]

since im a peasant

[scenic yoke]

naur

[gritty salmon]

im just a lowly peasant

i should get access to the riots

[scenic yoke]

i think it unlocks at commoner or man at arms

[gritty salmon]

im not that geared

i dont even have sabatons

come onn

let me in

[scenic yoke]

how the fuck lmfao

[gritty salmon]

let mee in

[odd kiln]

riot but youre one of the 5 people fighting the knight 👀

[lyric junco]

i did as a beggar

[gritty salmon]

being serious

[odd kiln]

chat lowkey

[scenic yoke]

dead serious...

[fallen glacier]

absolutely. Great swords are truly great if you practice with them. People saying the baron sword sucks I feel like it's pretty much just a skill issue

[gritty salmon]

curiass i got a beggar in the trader (somehow)

[fickle steeple]

oh yeah that reminds me what would og willie look like with hair

[nimble cypress]

peanut the cause of my death

[scenic yoke]

this would be cool

[odd kiln]

the weight does suck

[fickle steeple]

this looks both ugly and majestic at the same time

[scenic yoke]

genuinely a great idea, could be named "revolt" or something and only for the ranks lower than the ranks with riot

[gritty salmon]

gambeson was f orm a mercenary
helmet was from a champion
the hosen can be bought but it was matching so i got it from the mercenary
i got the foulds from the abyss
i got the (lower leg armor) from a slums chest
i got the bevor from a slums chest
i got the shoes from buying it

and the gauntlet from a cellars chest

[nimble cypress]

wait is he still here?

[lyric junco]

i like it because it makes fights long and fun, polearms just make it pass in 8 seconds

[lyric junco]

yes

[gritty salmon]

until you rob the guy thats dead in the riot

[fallen glacier]

it don't tho. Peep the vid, just gotta practice.

the weight is what gave me the win

[scenic yoke]

they could do something like they did with the baron, unless my game just is bugged and i couldnt get them

[odd kiln]

It does though, its wobbling around even when youre barely moving its annoying to fight with has nothing to do with practice swords shouldnt move that much

[gritty salmon]

people say the baron sword SUCKS because it SUCKS compared to a custom longsword
look how wobbly it is

[fickle steeple]

can you only steal the baron's weapons and not his armor?

[gritty salmon]

cant steal armor

[sand kestrel]

https://streamable.com/hvaqcq

[gritty salmon]

cant steal weapons unless hes equipped (and then dropped them)

[sand kestrel]

Yes willie we see the fit 💔

[fickle steeple]

one time i took his poleaxe without knowing it wasn't mine

[lyric junco]

it makes wins feel so deserved, also makes you a lot of muscle

[ashen sluice]

yeah

[gritty salmon]

great swords are cool

[lyric junco]

is sword the most effective? no, but it's the most fun

[gritty salmon]

baron sword

iS SHIT

UI HATE BARON SWORD

[sand kestrel]

Ya the barons sword is poopy

[gritty salmon]

its so ass and wobbly

[sand kestrel]

Only good for selling

[gritty salmon]

its not fun to use

[fallen glacier]

A custom greatsword* yeah I agree. It can't really stack up to that since you can properly weight and PoB it. But the baron sword isn't as bad as people make out. Especially once you get up to 96/97kg it's not nearly as wobbly

[odd kiln]

every weapon over 1.5kgs honestly kinda sucks to use

[gritty salmon]

actually no its not a greatsword technically because in the demo the greatswords had a different grip

and alsooo

uh

[lyric junco]

heavy weapons are the best tho

[gritty salmon]

i think thats it

[eternal scaffold]

can you halfsword the baron sword? maybe its busted then

[fallen glacier]

actually yeah it is a greatsword since it's primarly two handed. A grip doesn't define a greatsword

[peak ruin]

does anyone know the file for custom strength?

[odd kiln]

Im not saying they arent effective, just not very fun when they do a 360 through your torso every 10 seconds

[lyric junco]

true

[fickle steeple]

unless if ur a poleaxe user try the baron's beak

[lyric junco]

polearms aren't really fun at all

[fickle steeple]

trust

[lyric junco]

they just kill well

[gritty salmon]

doubleaxe better

barons beak is for people with NO creativity
NO intelligence

[scenic yoke]

swords are still solid, across all but the highest of ranks really, and even there a heavy sword can accel if used very skillfully

[gritty salmon]

doubleaxe is OP and FAST

[gritty salmon]

swords are soli dbut then you use a poleaxe and oneshot

[scenic yoke]

but the gap in power/weight between a sword and a pollaxe is too hard to ignore
