bro..

#

ITS EA

#

early access is meant to be buggy and unoptimized

sharp orchid
#

mfs complaining that they cant run a ue5 game on their atari 2600

opal ore
#

you can only complain about a game when its fully released

opal ore
soft osprey
#

Jesus fucking Christ I was gonna post a gif of a peach as a joke but every single one is sexual af what the hell is wrong with people 😭

opal ore
#

i asked him for his specs..

#

HE SAID HE USED A GTX 1660

#

forgot the cpu though

opal ore
#

idk man, im using a rx 7600 and r5600. im doing pretty good

subtle totem
#

hopefully they do fix performance soon though

opal ore
#

i truss ze devs

subtle totem
#

idk how they made performance worse for some people after the performance fix update though

sharp orchid
#

my dumbass

opal ore
#

i got a noticable boost

#

also this game needs FSR honestly

#

theres already DLSS

subtle totem
# opal ore how so?

for alot of people that had good performance on launch it fucked up the performance a ton

honest timber
# opal ore i got a noticable boost

im not saying anyone's right or wrong but "It worked fine for me" doesn't really mean anything because everyone's system is vastly different

opal ore
honest timber
#

like uhhh

subtle totem
honest timber
#

that game jump space had a frame limit bug in it that caused specifically a certain manufacturer of 2080s to fry

subtle totem
#

4070 super ryzen 5 5600x 32gb 3600mhz

opal ore
#

i was waiting for you to say "5090 r9800x3d 64gb"

#

a 5090 costs like 2 of my pc'ss

#

pc's

#

just one 5090 costs as much as 2

#

thats crazy

#

ive been looking to upgrade to a 9060xt 16gigs though

subtle totem
#

nice

#

not sure how performance is on nvidia vs ryzen gpus

soft osprey
#

All I know is, if you meet the system specs, and have adjusted settings, you should be able to run the game just as good as anyone else who meets the same specs and has adjusted settings to fit their system as the game was updated. Idk how some people run it terrible with superior specs to people who can run it good with lesser

opal ore
#

nvidia is better in this game im pretty sure

#

ive always been a AMD guy

subtle totem
opal ore
#

AMD is a good company that actually dedicates itself to producing good quality gpus for good money

honest timber
subtle totem
honest timber
#

Someone with a 4090 could run a game worse than someone with a 1650 just because they have a bunch of browser tabs open, it can be that dumb

soft osprey
opal ore
#

in my country, Australia

soft osprey
#

Even though it absolutely contributes a shit ton

opal ore
#

a 9060xt for new is like

#

600 AUD

soft osprey
#

Because I know people are silly in general

opal ore
#

so im trying to save up

soft osprey
#

But nobody wants to hear that

sharp orchid
#

how tf is this guy in knight tier

#

this mf belongs in milita

im a still in school and have alot of responsibilites so i cant get a job so must rely on mother to give me money once in a while for chores and stuff

subtle totem

#

i havent checked pricing in a while

sharp orchid
opal ore
# subtle totem i thought they were way above 600
soft osprey
#

Game needs work though for sure

honest timber
#

I will say though the game IS still optimized like shit considering even at the lowest settings I'm getting like 80fps on a 3060 12gb, ryzen 7 7700x, and 32gb DDR5-6000

soft osprey
honest timber
#

hold on gimme a sec and I'll look at the actual #

subtle totem
#

i get 50-60 fps on lowest settings and even lower on large maps and have much better specs ))):

#

surely the devs revert the optimisation update just for me

soft osprey
#

Growing up on 30fps max will do that to you though tbf

#

I don’t need super high fps

#

30 is fine, 60 is great

honest timber
opal ore
soft osprey
#

Hell before this pc i only ever had garbage. Im used to less than 30 fps too

subtle totem
opal ore
#

wait

#

is it?

honest timber
#

30fps would be... ok, if it was stable

soft osprey
subtle totem
# opal ore yeah.

if it is thats so sad, i spent like 400aud more for a gpu thats only a little better

#

and less vram...

honest timber
#

yeah im getting 67 fps

opal ore
#

yeah its AUD

subtle totem
subtle totem
opal ore
#

ouchie

soft osprey
#

Im genuinely used to playing games at like 20fps at lower points, and 60 at highest. Now I can do more but it’s really not important to me. Im lucky to feel that way I guess nice

subtle totem
#

its like 25-35% better

honest timber
#

67fps on lowest settings for an upper midrange PC with some parts getting close to high end territory is kinda crazy

opal ore
#

8 vram?

opal ore
subtle totem
opal ore
#

oh not that bad honestly

#

more then me

#

i mean

#

prices can change still

#

i only have 120 bucks in my account right now

#

so its gonna take quite a while until i can get it

#

hopefully it stays there

or goes down

im pretty close to learning how to mod in items for weapons and whatnot, so when i finish my map pack this will be one of the first things i do

subtle totem

modded half sword would make for a really fun star wars dualing game

sharp orchid

only have one more map till i drop the pack

subtle totem
#

awesome

sharp orchid
#

so far i have a space map, a highway, a hole where cubes fall, and the abyss

and then ill release the whole thing tmrw, fridat or sat

yeah rn the game is

meh sword

Its just the floppy wrists, wich are also getting worked on

Honestly im having more fun in the ea on my end, i like being able to choose specifically wich classes i wanna fight

I'm still missing the most important parts of the game

yea I'm not entirely certain about the specific historicity of the loadout, but it's just one of the most fun match-ups in half sword to play so it needs to be in

i think there should be a dedicated card just for sword fighting

#

uhhhhh

#

Fencing?

Ain’t fencing only down with one kind of sword tho? How that gonna work if you want to use different types of swords

a random but mirrored loadout fight would be kind of interesting

I've come to realize that you can smack down willies by throwing your tunic at them when you're on the ground

main orbit

In a realistic late medieval combat scenario which helmet would you go with

In order:
Armet with plume
Greathelm
Salet with bevor
Kettlehelm with bevor
Hounskull
Barbute with face plate
Great bacinet

normal pond

#

I dont think salet with bevor is a good idea

#

Its so close to your face so one good smash in the face with a mace or hammer and you're out

#

Houndskull is a decent choice tho

# main orbit The game is so much easier now smh

Honestly with the amount of hours I've got across both builds, I find it very easy to dogwalk the AI in 1v1s in both versions. I've died more due to EA's inconsistent ragdoll physics than I ever did with all of the legitimately challenging bosses from the demo

they should add skinning to this game'

Hi i got a new PC, can 5060 r5 7500F run half sword?

proud cliff
rapid pond
open spindle
rapid pond
#

can run epic

#

since the base 5060 is 8gb you might run on high with some mediums here and there

open spindle
rapid pond
#

i recommend lowering shadows and foliage to the max currently as these fuck your frames

open spindle
#

What if i use frame generation

rapid pond
proud cliff
open spindle
rapid pond
#

you could use dlss on performance if you want it to look better

#

and you might see funky map generation from time to time

proud cliff
#

I'm using frame gen on driver side, it's ok if you have good enough fps but you feel the input lag hit at lower base fps

proud cliff
#

I'm on amd, x2 AFMF

rapid pond
# open spindle Oh yeah

just in case you dont know a 5060 can run x4 fg wich means you can simulate 4 frames in bewteen a real frame
x2 is less imput lag so that might be heavenly for u

#

might make your card scream a little though if you have some coil whine

proud cliff
#

I think x2 is a sweetspot of sorts in frame gen

proud cliff
#

I've tried various ratios in lossless scaling but I always went back to x2

rapid pond
#

and a 5060 base can propably run with everything on high easily

beside shadows and foliage

open spindle
#

advantage for a bigger disatvantage

#

disadvantage*

proud cliff
#

I usually try to hit 150 and then x2 it to 300 for my 300Hz monitor but it's difficult in half sword early access

open spindle
rapid pond
proud cliff
#

in general in terms of feels I think 90 fps is where it's comfy enough for me but I like fps so I like going high

#

going from 1440p144 to 1440p300 was a big improvement for me, but aside from the Hz the display just has better motion clarity and colours etc. too

doesn't need to be dead, just needs to be down

yes, the new willie who enters the progression mode gets your chest with the insured items and even if they're left behind in a level you don't lose them like normal. they also appear in free play as items

Make the guard as big as possible

#

Personally I prefer a mace-head pommel (basically just a ball)

#

And just aim for 2.1kg and have the center of mass maybe 3 inches ahead of what you've got

#

It needs to be light enough to be nimble but heavy enough to rattle the inside of a helmet

buoyant ravine
upbeat oasis

buoyant ravine
grave pecan
#

wind charm
#

Nah they working on it trust

slow sparrow
#

Yall what is half sword i only know gladiator simulator

devout lion
#

i may be running on copium but i dont think the devs are that evil

wind charm
devout lion
#

they may be slightly off in the head when it comes to half sword but they wouldnt do us like that

tough hollow
#

if the halfsword devs turn out to be evil im gonna have to take action

grave pecan
#

i NEED my half sword bro

buoyant ravine
#

Devs when they found out half-sword is making lots of money

thorn sparrow
#

i believe it

buoyant ravine
#

But they realize they may need to lock in to make more money

thorn sparrow
#

still waiting on the "Big update"

#

25$ for no content in a month and a half

#

great E.A. lol

tough hollow
#

nNO

buoyant ravine
#

Lets hope the devs dont pull off a Tarkov

#

Tarkov devs are evil

#

and yet...

#

i still love Tarkov because its fun

tough hollow
#

every extraction shooter dev is evi;

#

except escape from duckov

tough hollow
#

nah really?

#

so yeh... its a tarkov ripoff

loud pivot
#

is it just me

#

or does the crossbow suck

#

like terribly so

#

even if you land a direct hit your bolt just phases through them or bounces or just sticks in and then vanishes

#

not only that but trying to reload it just pauses your game controls entirely 💔

hoary tree
#

its alright against beggar tier

#

all else its garbage

#

probably hard to balance tbh

#

cant make it a gun

loud pivot
#

unarmoured

#

it bounces off of gambesons

#

💔

plain oyster
#

I said fix it

grave pecan
#

you dont even get forest at beggar

#

and its good at other tiers

#

it just fails and becomes harder to use the more you go up the ladder

loud pivot
#

testing it in freeplay

#

its just awful

#

when it lands it fucking lands sure

grave pecan
#

well its sort of a one try thing

agile needle
#

you think the developers will be able to make the ai really good? like they'll be really good at parrying and actually have some structure to their attacks?

grave pecan
#

it sucks right now

#

same set of attacks

#

overhead, overhead and then half sword swing

agile needle
#

i still haven't figured out how people like @mental kelp do all these sick parries and accurate attacks

loud pivot
#

average crossbow aftermath

#

lost an arm, shot bounced directly off of his head and he instantly cut my hand lmao

#

no armor btw

grave pecan
#

its also auto parry

#

swords have smth called auto parry

loud pivot
#

yeah the game cheats for you

grave pecan
#

which helps you parry attacks

loud pivot
#

it fucks you up 9/10 times at higher skill levels though

grave pecan
loud pivot
#

should be disableable

grave pecan
agile needle
#

my guy's auto parry just flails arround and miss all the parry, even when i active parry as well

mental kelp
loud pivot
#

it literally moves your weapon and reorientates your character to intercept a strike that would have otherwise struck you if its within a certain range of your weapon

#

this can and will kill you

#

e.g chambering swords can become an unintentional lockup due to it

grave pecan
#

yeah that might just be you and some other 5 people

#

never happened to me

mental kelp
#

ya so that's how I can go up into the high guards without it being pulled around and messing up

loud pivot
#

try fighting a large group solo head on

#

you'll notice just how griefy it is if you don't have proper armor

#

you will regularly overextend due to it and make your arms extra vulnerable

#

the fact people are making scripts to disable it should be pretty evidential that while it's beneficial for newer players it is HELLA grief

#

auto parry does not care about your locked opponent

mental kelp
#

the switch is insane, legit questioning why auto parry exists after testing with it off

#

I thought it would be needed for rigidity but its not

loud pivot
grave pecan
loud pivot
#

since you don't get a weird wiggle when swinging towards their "hot" side in an attempt to auto parry

mental kelp
#

yea

loud pivot
#

which with heavy swords is uh

#

SO bad

mental kelp
#

my parries are way more stable now

loud pivot
#

a small wiggle can cause your strike to just deal zero fucking damage lmao

loud pivot
#

nitpicking it in this manner makes you seem like a poor-faith argumentor

winter creek
#

wait since when did halfsword have auto parry

loud pivot
#

a while

#

its REALLY subtle unless you know what you're looking for and have a really precise mouse

#

most people don't notice/know because they just assume its half sword jank/ never pay that much attention to weapon handling

#

you can notice it on featherlight and extremely heavy weapons

#

get uhh, half sword armory by overdth and make some weird lightsaber contraption and just watch what auto parry does to it lmfao

#

the problem is these subtleties can often compound when fighting multiple people -> leads to your weapon deciding to not want to swing properly due to autoparry -> you get dumpstered

#

you can make some really cool weapons with armory as a sidenote

how much do I need to talk here to add pics in chats

#

dude commoner class was so much easier than peasant holy shit

loud pivot
#

peasant weapons are some of the most dangerous in half sword

tough hollow
#

all they use in commoner is big wooden sticks

loud pivot
#

its biased towards staves iirc yes

#

but you can see shortswords and a rare longsword on champs

tough hollow
#

especially with champiins

For me either a custom
Made Poleaxe or the upgrade or the upgraded flail

loud pivot
#

the humble warstaff literally winning progression mode for me

#

(the placon)

#

the evil destruction weapon of despair

#

it really is

#

its so fun to use

#

downside is the range

tidal sapphire
#

A big aspect is ur Willie’s strength

loud pivot
#

there's two warstaff variants

#

one is SIGNIFICANTLY

#

more overpowered than the other

#

for literally no reason btw

#

1 sec lemme show the difference

loud pivot
#

the EVIL warstaff

#

the LESS evil warstaff

tidal sapphire
#

Both

loud pivot
#

the longer warstaff is WEAKER

#

the one with only 3 spikes on each side

#

D E S T R O Y S

#

its a SUPER flail

white gorge
#

where should i try to get my sword's balance point

loud pivot
#

if you hit people with the sides or butt of the weapon, or hell, use the tip like a sword

#

its genuinely hydrogen bomb vs coughing willie

#

one hit usually ends every fight w/ it lmao

tidal sapphire
loud pivot
#

towards the blade = devastating impact, closer to flail than sword

#

my favourite is a maxed mass slider messer with maximum blade length and light handle

#

i ONLY use it for the abyss

#

(it BISECTS zombies)

tidal sapphire
#

But I am more a blunt force guy so I just put all the stats high have my Willie pretty much on steroids and bash there brains out

loud pivot
#

you don't actually need a very heavy sword blade to kill in half sword

soft osprey
#

Burn stamina

loud pivot
#

mostly because half sword treats blades like omnipresent death threats

loud pivot
# soft osprey Burn stamina

people don't know this but after winning a fight you can just hold alt and wiggle your mouse very fast (or during the battle) to exhaust your stamina instantly, then run about while doing it slower

white gorge
#

i think i got a good sword

loud pivot
#

how i got to max mass at peasant

#

thank you thrust mode for letting me do this for no reason whatsoever

soft osprey
solar nest
#

is it a little harder to slit throats in half sword? like my sword will pass through this guys neck with ease and hes still talking in fluent english like his esophagus didnt get excavated from his body

loud pivot
#

lightsabers are deadly for that reason

#

the SECOND your blade touches skin its OEVR

#

mostly because it then begins to ignore armor

#

if you slice their shoulder then drag down it will just ignore their chest armour entirely

soft osprey
loud pivot
#

wait training counts????

#

lol

#

also

#

its worth dying early on to get ONE THING from the abyss

#

it was op in playtest and it's op now

mental kelp
loud pivot
#

holy SHIT

#

yes

#

it does an absolutely insane amount of blunt force trauma

#

the 4 tips of it are "sharp" for some reason

#

the back-end of it has a spike

#

it can kill in 4 different ways in the same swing

#

people say this until they lose a hand

#

you want a short axe or shortsword

white gorge
#

duuude

#

big ass swords

#

are so fun to use

loud pivot
#

my experience with big ass swords is that I have to swing like I have osteoperosis and i'll break my arm if i move faster than 3 degrees

#

lmao

#

otherwise yes

#

nothing beats splitting a zombie in literal half

#

poor guy (minor headache)

#

i still wish shit like this was more native and less janky

#

let me wield random props as weapons without jank

loud pivot
#

if you know how to grip them they HURT

#

you can also let go on complete accident and instantly KO/kill yourself

solar nest
#

why do swords feel worse to use

white gorge
#

a sword with everything minimum except blade lenght and weight

elfin finch
#

I think the og demo is honestly better than both the full game and the current demo

white gorge
#

what changed

#

a lot

#

you could crush skulls and make guts spill

it feels so much better than the demo

you can still fight a bit after losing an arm

#

Hello?

covert forge
#

its gone

loud pivot
#

can we like

#

also just

#

disable zombies having near infinite grab force

#

why the fuck can they instantly floor me in 1 grab

#

i LOVE a single handed grab to my shoulder sending me KAREENING like I'm a looneytoons character

covert forge
loud pivot
#

and also them spawning behind you, whats up with that

#

genuinely its unfun to play abyss atm because the game tries its hardest to be bullshit for no reason

#

its meant to be hard sure, but 100% silent champion zombies that spawn behind you and can instantly grab + floor you
