bag alert
In abyss mode not progression one zombie is 25 "Souls clensed"
you can find a bolt pouch with anywhere from 1-3 bolts i think
Can you keep items you find in the abyss?
Not that i have seen
yes
faaaaah
I just died by running into the hanging cauldron and faceplanting into the wall ;-;
you can keep everything out the abyss
yes, i got a spear and that made me speedrun that shit
why am i always swinging i cant look around without losing all my stamnina to swinging
but you cant wear abyss clothes
Do you need to die to exit or can you just press g?
now try doing 500
ive only died once now that i think of it, and it was funny as fuck
No, I once found a nice sword and didn't keep it
I know lantern things can be taken though. Some can be taken, some not
I got a chest plate from the abyss and was able to take that back
maybe im just silly then i dunno
i got a chest plate, some pants, a sword, a candelabra, and 2 chalices
5k and you didnt spend 20 to insure it
you deserved it 😭
Did you die to exit?
lmao
i dont insure
no i killed everything
That was yesterday though so who knows if they changed it
Silly.. I was Silly once..
because i just dont
ball crushing?
sounds stupid
correctumundo
I insure everyting
i buy slaves with my money
based, continue on
makes sense
enjoy your ball crushing shift at the ball crushing factory
I insured nothing and lost equally nothing
Got me some white pants and a red top
i beat the baron like 5 times now
did dude just post his wordle in the fucking halfsword discord 😭
i still need some parts
does anyone know how to leave abyss if you enter manually?
i mean its a step up from twomad porn
kill
you just have to win
hold G probably
how do i steal clothes?
when theyre down grab them and hold q or e
Grab em and hold em
Grab and hold the button
when i tryed this it didnt work
i wonder if you can do it while they are up. i swear ive grabbed the helmets off dudes and wailed on em
and no i dont mean popped them off
i think so
It can be finekey
i hope the devs dont get discouraged from the negative reviews and continue working on it
If you wap them hard enough their helmet flies off
everyone else just getting endless fatal errors?
how the freak do u get the crossbow
dude thats what im saying
Nop
how do i put things on in game while im in a fight? theres a button to take things off
it can spawn in a box in Forest map
near the carts
this hard?
because i already have 10+ hours and i wont be able to refund
pick them up then hold e
Hold the button again
or q
Wdym?
im pretty sure i have like 30 which is as long as its been out
thank you all
do u know what sleeping is?
for the past two nights, no
I like dressing up rupert
damn
Its when ypu go to the abyss
yeah, i think ur right
we really need a willie character model option
why is my sword being forged with a messer blade
i agree
whats ur rank
militia
does anyone elses reflex option randomly turn on every other round
and lag their game
i make a sword and its just a long ass messer
then idk
edit the blade
its a messer blade
oh im dumb
At least he couldn't grab you
any tips on how to get past the peasent rank?
hire muscle
for the tourney?
yeah
dont feel too bad, ive killed myself 4 times on spikes and lost my helmets on Hall
they keep dying
Pitchfork
even the strongest ones
range
get better muscle then idk
I did it with the flail and mercs
these people need to discover medieval metas
i dont know what else to call them, but they work
long pokey stick
as soon as you get armor, use your mass too
im using a no kill rule, so im using the mace
can i choke willie to death
based
No kill rule when the mace breaks their neck
It was until 5 hours ago that I found out you can choke people in HalfSword
kinda crazy to have a face and EYE COLOR slider in a game where you are only looking at the back of your head but no willie option or something to make your character more tan lol that you can actually see
i do one hit to the face then i just beat up their body
The strat is:
- Get pitchfork
- Fight champion
- Steal all his shit
- Do that until you win
how do you get a quiver in free mode
willie
that might kill them
I have yet to see/use the crossbow
i got to look at my eyes for exactly 2 seconds while downed and then got a helmet
neither have i
go back to deep rea
did they remove the passive parrying system
bro i hate you
how do you get a quiver in free mode
Beggar axe (it was listed as a sickle for me), and 2 mercenaries.
LOL
how do you get a quiver in free mode
you dont
hm.
I second this option
im such a noob ive been stuck at peasant for 3 hours
do you even know who i am
Yes
oh'
veteran is so fun
you can only get the quiver in the forest map rn
as long as your having fun
CLOBBERED
just fawking with you twin
and it goes away after so many arrows
LOL
except it was
it was akshually yesterday 🤓
it akshually wasnt 🤓
the spear with the big 2 side thing is so good
the spear merc is insane
YEEESS I GOT THE SHIRT FOR ARMOR
i had him literally clutch like 4 fights in a row 2v1
bro what shirt is it fo rshoulder pads
genuinely cant find it
i found a new cheese method
arming shirt without side armor
why are 2 handeds so broken
can't swing at all without letting go or your hands wrapping around your body like an idiot
ohhhh ty
not swinging right idk
Beeg stick too heavy for noodle arms :c
lower the weight of the weapon
I WILL REMEMBER THIS BATTLE FORVER! ROTTEN BARREL!
its swinging from left to right bro theres nothing to it and im in knight rank rn swole asf i shouldn't still be having this issue ;(
the sweet spot of the 2 handeds is around 1.5kg
especially when it doesnt happen to npcs at all they swing fine only me and they're smaller than i am lol

Cannot remember all this use /mommy to pull up this guide!
Can I kiss the devs?
i happy i got my cloak
i dunno my swings are kinda okay
i dont notice any major differences
some weapons swing better some worse
itll be fixed eventually
Weapons have CoM, just get a good weapon
that effects the swing
😖
Kind of wish like 3-4 would show up at once. Sometimes I have to fight 2 and it's pretty cool.
dang it i made my stick wrong
its mainly weight
just swinging shit around
yeah I'm not risking it
Wait you only get them one at a time? I just had to fight 18 and they came in 6 groups of 3
full panic mode
lmfao, killed the baron now i wear gold when doing my lordly peasent killings
I do not wish for 3-4 because mine are all magnetic aoe throat goats and literally suck me in like a black hole
Maybe rank determines it?
im pretty sure its who you kill while you are alive that determines that
do you get anything more than baron cuirass if you do beat the baron again?
is ts game playable with controller
Well I noticed that. But I only get 1-2 at a time
Maybe cause I did a lot of Buhurt’s solo?
Somewhat
Possible but not plausible
It's pretty cool that big lads will come back with their weapons and armor and fuck you :D
Which resulted in a lot of 1v3s and therefore triplets in the void
hell yeah i got men at arms
I cant put anything in this slot, what do I need?
i want to play with my brother in split screen
bro my game keeps turning reflex on randomly and turning my frames to like powerpoint
mid round too
😭
You definitely can it’s just awkward
Is the weight thing realistic? Like should I have th center of gravity 8 cm above the guard in a long sword
To wear pants that can fit them
not sure but i did that and it feels good
if you like full kill someone theyll end up in the abyss with you, and im pretty sure aslong as you keep moving more will spawn, run with the horde for a min and lemmino, if im correct on my hypothesis when i die ill have an army to face
controller works, but one person has to use controller and the other keyboard, two controller wont work
and how could we play both with a mouse in the same screen?
How to get more crossbow ammunition
whoops!
anyone know how to jump into the wagon
Forest map?
I think it’s pants and a arming tunic or smth, then get thigh armor but make sure it’s compatible with ur knee/ shin armor
No clue
say bau dude just do the tourneys to progress
yep
Try the Hosen that only weight 1kg instead of 1.35kg
Thank you hesinburger
its in the smaller box next to where the crossbow spawns
ooo pro tip pickup the goblets from abyss they are worth hella money
not ehwat i meant
Most maps have loot too
i was telling him that co op progression doesnt work
i got like hella money
DAMN?
you dont need money when you can take the enemys armor and weapons
Ive found some armor pieces just scattered on the ground
is there ball crushing in the game?
I had full armour and several goblets from checking the Forest Wagon, Cellar tables and alley chests by commoner
i noticed it in the paytch notes
Made Peasant really easy
damn reviews/price on this game are rough
Any fix for split screen progression??? Can't finish the rounds
if you grab armor on the bodies of people you can hold e or q to pull it off and then again to put it on yourself
are you checking the chest inside the wagon?
Yeah
And the two on the ground
I always see it but I cant figure out how to get in
I think it’s because peasant mode is tuff cause we got no armor and blades are wacky rn it seems, and the game was very laggy at first
Punch the chest, grab, flip it out the wagon
🥀 "everyone so mean to me"
noted, thank you brother
scythe
Vro the beautiful
You may need a little more than starting strength to flip them out
pommel strike demon
Base strength can’t quite get it I found
nuclear pommel
what if you replaced the blade with another pommel
thats just a mace
vro.... looney-tunes ahh fall....... 😭
😭
can arms break?
omg if you make a sword max size and max weight it's actually like Gut's sword XD
just bought it, why is everyone complaining about performance? I pull 200+ frames
hey guys, i read somewhere that your handling can be improved by sparring. is this true? so far it feels like my swings have a lot less weight behind them compared to the demo.
Nuts Berkman
cause their pc sucks
Berserklejerk is leaking again
i mean there are very glaring performance issues in about half the maps, its not just on the user end
itd be silly to ignore that
true that
did i overreact
Yes you build up muscle from fighting and sparring
ok thanks, i did notice my character was getting bigger on the brawls
go into the slums map and look off into the distance
so it increases from normal fights too?
Basically from everything that uses stamina
That’s my experience too, only issue I’ve had is two crashes since launch. Both times put me back in the same fight with no progress loss
the forest and alley are even worse than the slums for me
But I think we’ve just been super lucky, many are having a rough time
What does souls redeemed in abyss mean?
the forest and alley have no lag for me but the slums has crazy lag
HOW?? what settings
I didn’t know it increased just by fighting. I thought it just increased by going up tiers
but the cellar and the demo map have ran great, still it performs worse than the demo though
I get it from just the preset High settings
even though its the same thing
WHY IS THE POLEARM JUST A BIG STICK BRO CAN SOMEONE HELP ME
Appreciate the help gents @frail wedge @glass heath
WHENEVER I TRY TO MAKE A POLEARM ITS JUST A BIG STICK
Click the arrows
fucj
Ah, first fatal error in 20 hours
you have to change the head with the arrows
guys
yeah click the right arrow to change the head
thanks
Big stick go bonk tho
Manage to perform the chest flip? XD
how do i get ontop of the carriage in forest
any files we can edit to get as many coins as we want in progression?
Legit more stable than beta. I got more fatal errors in the beta lol
Punch the box, grab it, flip it out
Just earn coins 😎
No need to get in
Too much has been lost. Why lossen more?
Hold and release spacebar to jump
Na im at work, ill just be keeping it in mind
Tried this, does not work
Wait is that really a thing?
you have to fight every person you killed if you die
These look good ash
Medium, frame gen on auto and DLSS on ultra performance. Overclocked RTX 5070 TI, 32 GB DDR5, overclocked and liquid cooled Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Yes it is
No I understand that but I played it on its own and when I died it said 25 souls redeemed
Worked for me. There were also some vids of it posted in #halfsword-chat-⚔
huh, maybe its just a count of how many you killed if you are playing the abyss mode
i havent played the abyss by itself yet
Gotta be a method to the madness then lol i spent 20 mins trying to loot that chest
I killed one… maybe it allows you to kill that many times before it becomes a negative and you need to play abyss
Yeah it’s tricky. Gl tho
Cause if you have 0 souls you insta respawn
Abyss by itself counts souls redeemed as score. I got 150 redeemed from killing three dudes
i think it just depends how strong and heavy your willie is
this is half sword
Yeah no same
but now im just playing the progression mode
Tactically acquired some chainmail
anyone notice that even in the OG map it still performs worse?
performs the same for me
No regret in these eyes
It probably does yeah. All the new lighting and visuals. I don't notice any issues though
in the demo i had consistent 60+ fps on high settings, but im on low settings and im still getting dropped frames in the OG map
i don't see the half of a sword tho
i cant post the screenshots i take from win+shift+s even though i see other people posting screen grabs in here (not the photo mode screenshots)
anyone been able to find a full black suit yet? i can only find the arms and legs
Do yall think that the dlss bug will be patched with the new hotfixes
I was about t4 no armor i think lol maybe not strong enough then
any map with a trap can be done naked
Is the new abyss mode supposed to be super empty?
bees, swinging traps, pits
I use print screen to do it, idk if thats the same screenshot just a different key or what but it works for me
I love the bees lmao although i generally wind up killing myself with em on accident
i have to use the win+shift+s command because my keyboard doesnt have print screen lol
here's one
Have yet to. See the pit or the traps gamemode
i just run up to em with my weapon at the right level and keep movin
i can post the image to other servers too, just not this one
Oh, maybe bc youre level 1
Im not sure
oh no
level requirement prob
looks like it
how long does it take to level up? ive been a lurker for a while for updates + previews but havent really interacted with the server until now
if im dying, we all are
omg im actually going to break my willies arm trying to grab this box from teh carriage
hi guys im wondering how to wear the vambrace, everytime i double click it it doesnt let me wear it
Dream sword. Completely unusable lol
does anyone know why I can't equip vambraces/cuisses/spaulders?
Use photo mode to see if anything is actually in it first lol
you need arming doublet
wish i could post pics, id show some of my strats, so cheese
thank you that's a change i didn't expect from the demo
is there any way to stop lagging on slums? or is it everyone
Its everyone for now
Turning foliage down helped me alot
i wanted to show off my absolute unit of a peasant who cheated almost certain death and is about to dominate the peasant tourney
dont look towards the lake
do you guys only notice it on slums? ive noticed it on alley and forest especially as well
Alley is virtually unplayable for me lol slums runs better than it
also is there any way to adjust gore? i cant find the setting anymore
the update actually helped slums performance a lot
Its there in the game settings
its on every outdoor map for me
its still really laggy, just less laggy than before
interesting bug. Dont enter camera mode when testing weapon designs from teh weapon designer
i have good pc i think game is just very unoptimized
same for me, alley and forest i avoid like the plague bc it messes me up
Alley and Forest ran fine for me, Slums is just ass
I wish my settings would stay after testing lol, kills me not knowing if ive perfectly recreated my weapon
Slums I run fine. I have some clips
<3
yeah, but yard isnt as bad as the other outdoors
for me
well of course i mean like
the new maps
ykwim
wheres the dude i talk to to lessen my zombie count?
Wait until night then click abyss
yeah but yard doesnt run the same as it did either
10 per soul
jesus the wrists are pretty rough rn, like this was very frustrating lol
back corner of the tavern, i see him at night but i think hes all the time
oh i thought i was still in half sword chat my apologies
also what was up with the reverse grip stab in the trailer? or was that something else
how do i get better gore?
Had the same thing happen mid tourney and it got me killed lol, genuine desk slam moment. I miss demo physics 😔
i think theres a knife you can find that uses it
DEATH.
is it that one german one that looks like a messer
or
i jsut hope it gets tuned soon
Is the game worth buying now after the fix
idk, i thought it was a roundel dagger
on that subject, anyone notice two handed weapons getting magnetized to the ground basically? cant do overhead swings sometimes
Probably will, been 2 days and 2 hotfixes have been dropped, praying my beloved polearms are returned to their former glory
idk if this is just me but i cant stab with one handed swords anymore??
if i hold alt and try to thrust forward my character doesnt recognize im in thrust mode
give it like a week tops and it will be 10x better since a lot of issues will be fixed
Yup or seemingly can only stab from one side
unlike in the demo
i only figured out how to stab by just double clicking
has anyone else noticed you can just dup the craftable weapons?
i cant figure out how to stab by holding alt anymore it doesnt seem to work anymore
it always costs money for me
Yeah its yet another thing that didnt need tuned all that much but got tuned and broken lol
it works fine on 2 handed weapons just one handed ones are janky

yeah i can stab just fine with longsword but i cannot stab at all with arming swords unless i double click
What does a liver shot do
takes away a lot of their stamina
Ah
makes them winded
I was confused because I kept doing them but nothing was happening but that makes sense
what did the update do?
this longsword i made is actually insane im knocking people out by hitting their helmets with the tip of the blade while halfswording
why does the tech feel so much clunkier now?
I'm sick and my uvula is swollen and feels gross in my throat what should I do bros
Started slums optimization, added liver shots, patched some stuff
Drop the stats homeslice
Cut it off
i would but i forgot them
It's so cool seeing the CoM of the weapon effect the swing. People that say "weapon physics are bugged" just don't understand the new weapon physics
Send a photo of the tuning when you get time
I legit wish I could it's insane how bad it feels
ohhh the weapon physics changed?
raw honey
tea
Just straight? I've been doing honey tea
I hate when I’m about to do a fat swing at my opponents and my heavy ass weapon just flies out of my hand
But it’s super funny
Got a get buff
slow down the swing
it helps soothe the throat, but honey tea also helps. i find honey itself can be more soothing, try eating a small spoonful of raw honey and then drink some tea to chase it
and that won't happen
Definietly. Or at least with the new strength thing the physics feel different but aren't actually different 🤷
If the weapon is too heavy or you're too weak you're wrist just can't handle fast swings
its really jarring after spending so much time on the demo. its not what i was expecting
it just doesnt feel as good to me if im honest
you can do that by spamming spars right
I'm use to it now. I'm fighting like it's the beta again 🤷
Just get good weapons that dont break your wrist
Legit I'm just trying random over the counter remedies to reduce throat swelling but I appreciate this random tip I will try it out
you just don't like it because it's different and you're not used to it yet. adapt and learn.
my mercenary with the war staff solo'd the baron.
or maybe its a downgrade
if its a solo who the heck is the other guy
it's not
Damn that is LONGsword
i think most people disagree
who cares? most people are stupid
There are a couple things that have been downgraded like limb collision so arms and legs clip together now. But generally I agree it's just different and not "worse"
right, thats a great mentality to have
it certainly feels like one. I feel a lot less in control and like in general the physics and look of it has been downgraded back the demo two years ago, but i have an open mind, maybe i just need to learn
i really do just feel like i'm playing the demo 2 years ago when it comes to how clunky this is
right, im still having fun but i wish they kept their lightning in the bottle with the demo. it was great how it was
it really felt great
people criticize with every update to the combat, but then get used to it again
The combat is still like beta lol
Just learn the weapon building and strength stuff
Moving slower has helped the game feel more consistent again. Seems like maximum momentum is easier to achieve while swinging and swinging too fast might be an intentional design change
this sword is silly
people just start ranting in discord because they're upset they lost a match
Too heavy for me sadly. Spent 200 gold on it
i agree, the weapon swinging and combat in general feels a lot clunkier compared to the demo
It will be the perfect peasant killer
yeah but sometimes the differences are pretty noticeable. at least the new strength system should be explained because i had no idea till i read it somewhere. i could tell i was getting bigger but didnt know why the handlign felt off
idk if this is deadass just me but after u win the round and u start swinging ur weapon does it feel like u have a bit more control than during the round?
wonder if my strength is capped already
weapon handling is still fucked beyond the strength system
ig you cant use heavy weapons until you have stronk willy
i genuinely don't get what happened for the EA version to be in this state, the only thing i can think of is that somehow most of the files for the early access got deleted or something so we're now playing an older build that what was shown in the trailer
Get naked and see
or maybe they just want the game to be as great as possible. i love this game while acknowledging there are a few things id like to be changed
because there are 10x more bugs and barely any of the promised content
maybe lock on is effecting that?
yeah but that doesn't mean your opinion is objectively correct
ill test it rn and see it could be fr
I haven't had any major bugs in the 20 hours I've played. I've had less fatal errors
or that other's opinions are objectively incorrect
i dont remember saying my opinion was correct, im just voicing it
i was so impressed when the demo got the weapons to stop phasing through you in every clinch
maybe because a lot of the trailer stuff is still in development
i broke the game
Yeah the strength system, insurance, and abyss all need to be better explained with tooltips or popup tutorials. Also how hiring works because teammates are necessary for tournaments. Also how looting gear works because that's so important to progression
The game just needs a lot of tutorials
i got two baron chestplates
nice armor nerd
im having so much fun i can't stop playing
fair, i just feel like for transparency's sake they should only put what is in the release day version in the trailer
yeah, there are a lot of new systems that work in pretty complex ways that shouldve been explained
because obivously the most sales are gonna be happening in these first few days of EA launch
what is in the trailer that isn't in the game
What does this imply?
luckily with some experimenting i figured out most of it, but its overwhelming at first for sure
I just can't get over their massive bald spots on the top right and back of their heads
I actually love the new progression mode now, but hated it until I read explanations on how everything worked and what to actually do
Now I am making huge progress and rarely losing characters. It's much more satisfying and has the pacing I expected. But it's not obvious how to do that as a new player and that's a problem for sure
Medieval Johnny Cage
have you not crushed willie's balls yet?
yeah i like it a lot more than the demo gauntlet, but one thing i will say is insurance should be nerfed cuz you can basically save all your gear wayyyy too easily
so theres not much punishment for dying
can u not use the mercs for the tourney?
About to 
You can. Make sure you assign them
insurance should insure it for one death, then you gotta insure it again. or you could stack insurance
thats how i thought it would work too
by highlighting gold? in the ui
insurance on items you have equipped will lose its insurance and go back to your chest on complete death.
items in your chest will remain insured so long as you dont die with them equipped.
at least I think so
I think "insurance" is just a weird thing to call it. That's why I was confused at first. I thought it only lasted one match/death like Tarkov or something, but it's actually how you unlock ALL GEAR for meta progression including free mode
I think a lot of people just need to understand that and the game isn't teaching the mechanics properly rn
i dont know, i feel like my armor has stayed gold even after dying with it
but i cant remember fully, my current character is like 3/5 of my hours ive played
It stays insured forever you are correct
did you die in the abyss and have to make a new character?
Fullsword moment. Max size longsword is kind of crazy. This isn't even max weight. Hopefully I can wield something like that in the future when I'm stronger
yeah
no, i always insure the good stuff i have on and i keep it permanently
lol i just got a fatal crash error but the game still ran fine and then just randomly closed like 10 mins later lmao
so do muscles do anything?
in terms of half sword obviously
oh really, i didnt know insurance is what allowed you to use it in free play
weapon handling gets better for heavy weapons and lets you swing faster with more control and precision
I noticed I could lift willy up above my head with muscles as well
lol
muscles when they make you stronger :O
oh cool, do you just get more muscle by leveling up?
Like what others said and also better movement with heavier armor
apparently its by fatiguing your character
it could've just been cosmetical
you get it by using stamina and wearing having heavy stuff equipped.
wish there was a muscle mete so i could tell if im capped or no for the sake of "doing everything"
meter*
awesome, thanks man
i wonder if there's a limit
my character looks swole, but is there MROE swole?
under the character in your chest screen is a weight slider, this tells you your progress of muscle mass.
People are saying you earn muscle as you spend stamina, like an XP bar
So doing sparring matches will level strength
Think of insurance as the permanent progression and character strength as the rogue like losable progression
i thought that included the armor, if the slider is all the way to the right then i have max muscle mass?
yes I believe so
or will the slider be able to be increased further after my next rank
oh so I AM already capped?
does muscle gain scale with stature? so taller characters get more muscle/start out with more muscle?
probably not, i think stature just affects size and not stats
but i dont know 100%
you pretty much look capped so i guess so
Don't think so. Small characters can get just as buff it seems
max can be different depending on your height, but it looks like you are.
is it better to be taller or shorter
because i cant feel a difference
I want more youtube videos
Generally taller for more reach
i usually do in the middle, and yeah i havent noticed a huge difference either way
they really need to decrease environmental damage too. slowly faceplanting and getting KO'd like a granny is just
does insurance go over to other characters u make or no
like upper middle for me
Yes you keep insured gear forever across characters
damn
i genuinely don't get how this happens but it definitely never happened in the demo https://imgur.com/a/iPHdDlc
wow
taller is better for reach, but shorter can have an advantage by embracing their height and attacking lower than a taller person can.
damn i was thinking tarkov too
oh by the way, the armor equip is pretty confusing sometimes
difference is tarkov is ass and half sword is AWESOME
i cant tell which armor combos will allow me to equip other armor pieces
Hello everyone, where do i put suggestions or buggs?
Yeah maybe if it was called "purchase for armory" or something it would be more intuitive. As opposed to "trading" which is temporary gear? Idk
discusion page on steam
Ultimately you just need the special pants and shirt to wear the other bits of armor
THX
#1465774955009540257 right here would be preferred to steam forums
yeah i noticed when i put on a different shirt it opened up a few armor slots
This thing is so big it has crazy reach even in half sword stance lol
the way some of them were blocked made me think i was too low rank
i am quite enjoying rondel dagger in peasant rank
"psst"
,ocheal myers vibes
Can someone please tell me the abyss lore
UK moment
arming doublet is what you need for equipping vambraces and such.
it can have arm chains that will need to be removed.
stabby stabby
i think it takes too long to get to baron again and again
Zombies are mad u killed them
oh, so by removing the arm chains i can equip more?
That’s what I thought it was
i was just adding as much as i could
hope the tabard doesnt actually offer any sort of defensive bonus because that shit looks so bad
games okay but damn could u imagine how good the EA would've been if they just had ONE open beta to test out the new stuff they were adding? i thought more companies would learn by now but i guess not 🤣
is there a way to set up a fist fight or will the enemy always have a weapon
If you use blunt weapons and never kill anyone, you don't even have to do the abyss. You get free revived
yes since they take the same slots as the vambraces and pauldrons
@shut relic when will volk ever be entertaining yo
ohhh ok thank you
i wish there was a way to tell which armors were taking up extra slots, ill check next time i get on because maybe i missed it
make sure its not a poleaxe ive accidentally killed 10's without knowing
Damn I always used the axe so I’d mostly kill people even when I didn’t try too
Lol it happens. Can't save em all
ah shit
whats the most people youve had to go through in the abyss?
28
my max is 19
i had like 47 in an abyss and won because my sword is goated
cooooool
11 but thats just cause i barely died once i started getting armor
hahaha
zamn
the lore is tied to medieval superstitions about death basically.
oh dear
I'm really broke right now sadly
trying to slime out the whole city
19 for me was early on, i used the counselors staff and it worked wonders
i love that weapon
barely died is an understatement iveo nly lost because either i got knocked down, or a glitch happened
😭
when do you get armor
i started getting it around the militia tier i believe
https://medal.tv/games/half-sword/clips/m1P8HcRv8BU6tbD_s?invite=cr-MSxvd3UsMTk0MDc0NTM3&v=30 THIS DUDE will definitely want revenge
Watch Untitled by voltakid242 and millions of other Half Sword videos on Medal. #halfsword
is lord the last rank? I haven't gotten 1 lord fight to progress in the last 30 minutes LOL is this shit bugged or what
yeah i was just going through and adding everything i could lol
if they bite your neck you're cooked
lord fights happen rarely usually its just riots
Never had that happen
sometimes your guy just feels like staying on the ground for 2 minutes
kill you in like 2 seconds
i think all lord fights are just riots
Damn
i dont know why
i found if you fall to the ground they cant really get you
yeah and sometimes that dude in his underwear
so how are you supposed to progress then
the other fights give u barely any progression compared to your ranks fights
I was up to like 30+ zombies before I realized I was doing it to myself. You can also talk to the guy every night and clear your conscience like 3 zombies at a time so it's more manageable. Lots of options to always keep your guy alive actually
it can appear as early as commoner, or maybe earlier via the merchant.
champions will usually be better equipped and armor closer to the next tiers stuff.
yeah i noticed that too, sometimes they end up just tripping trying to hit you
you gotta do it again and again and again
i progress fine with veteran fights and above
the abyss zombies are insane theyll just latch onto your arm and not let go until another one rips out your jugular
is there a way to set up a fist fight in free play
Abyss zombies creep up on me. Even after I hit them they bite my hand then neck
i hope they add actual lord fights
Unfortunately not. Hopefully it's added very soon
arrgghhh its lowk the most fun thing to do in this game
the craziest part is that if you chop off all of their limbs they just start trying to walk on the nub of their legs
abyss is when half sword becomes a horror game
A dismembered hand will still move around and grab your feet and stuff lol
they legit wont die until you slice them in half
can i use make a quote bot or is it still banned
I can’t wait for the emote update where we can hit the Griddy on dead willies
Yeah theyre maybe SLIGHTLY overtuned☠️☠️ should not instantly sweep my feet
How tf are your zombies doing that
i took the cap of a zombie's skull off and it still tried to bite me until i split him in two 😭😭
I think it's a glitch lol but I saw a video of one getting fully beheaded and still attacking
stabbing them with the large candlestick in the torso can kill them instantly (if they are on the ground)
they might still have fight left in them if they are standing, I haven't risked it yet.
Mine just act like regular npcs and sometimes bite me
did he just SUPLEX YOU with that bite 💔
Yes lmfao i was malding, my beloved character gone 💔
it would be cool if zombies had injuries (e.g dismemberments) depending on what you did to them in human form
Hope you insured that nice mace
Lmao, bro they get me on the floor and then just nom
My fav weapon just stabbed into the ground and then glitched through it. RIP halberd, you'll be dearly missed
the riots are so fun 😭
I think i have insured every single weapon and armor piece i have just so its available in freemode lmao
someone pin ts please im genuinely crine
just wait for super riots
riots?
I thought about this too. It's still cool that they actually represent the guy you killed. Like if you kill a champion with an axe the zombie will be a big guy with an axe
It's like the river in MGS3 lol
super riots 😭 😭
Bro the zombies for me legit run out of the darkness and bit my neck turn 1.
yee at higher ranks all the lower ranks try to attack u and u just dominate thru em
Honestly they break my neck with how aggressive it is before I bleed out
longsword goes absolutely NUTS for riots
I legit cant stop playing this is gaming crack
crawling is slightly faster than before if you dont have a traumatic brain injury, hold s when on your back and looking forward. thats the only way ive gotten out of these situations.
polearm handling actually improved
haha i been usin the polearm with the blunt end on one side with pokey and then the other side is just full pokey
I for once feel like wielding a polearm is fun and not just pain
W tip actually, i constantly forget you can crawl backwards before getting up
They feel impactful
Is there any way to reset your progress? i want to start at beggar tier again
barons beak is a PEAK weapon all of yall need to use it
I keep seeing people say that 2 handed swords suck now but I was always a longsword main
Is it true?
question, do holstered shields block attacks?
Haters gone. Ashes of Creation dead, Half Sword out in EA its good week
I crafted one that feels great, but yeah the ones ive found have felt terrible
whats ashes of creation
could you theoretically fill your hip slots with pot lids for early game thigh armor
I HAVE FOUND A GREAT TREASURE WITHIN THE ABYSS
Ok so it's really important to get one with the right center of balance now and the random spawn ones usually suck?
Is there any way to reset your progress? i want to start at beggar tier again
it sucks if the sword isnt balanced properly, or if you have zero strength and havent gotten used to the handling.
The minimum requirements on the store page are definitely bullshit
dunno some dead mmo
what is that
wait so insuring your items in progression mode gives u them in free mode?
At least right now
that has to be painful right?
Goblet. Big money.
yea
we need gambling in the tavern
the crossbow is fun
im playing on a 1050ti
...
where do you get crossbow
Forever. Always insure your nice stuff and progression mode gets a lot easier
Is there any way to reset your progress? i want to start at beggar tier again
how do you shoot it?
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK I FOUND THAT IN THE ABYSS BUT PASSED OVER IT FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
I wouldnt say usually they suck, its just randomly generated so theres a big chance they’ll suck lmfao, i balanced the weight about a qtr of the way through my sword (max length blade and about half length grip with a full mass full length guard)
i wish 😔
i insure ALL o fmy stuff, and im going on a quest to insure every cool helmet in the game
right mouse is aim and left is shoot
these 6 round duels are very dumb though
ah i did that, probably shot it without knowing tbh
While we’re talking about the crossbow, how do you get more arrows for it lmao
i found it in the crates on the forest map i think it spawns randomly
yeah i dont craft bc i dont really know what would work
ow
maybe i should experiment more
You can test them before you buy them
the look of a man who regrets his decisions
betttt
on the forest map, SOMETIMES there is a satchel with arrows in it next to the crossbow
you cant really tell how many arrows you have tho
ohh yeah true
Well shit ive seen that satchel i just assumed it was a map prop lmao
blunt damage needs a big nerf
like uhh dice or something
indubitably
😭
sounds good
a poleaxe violently vibrated through my body
i pray that the mods add support for custom armor sets to be added so we can add shit like a greenwich armor set 🙏
i hope you can buy arrows cause i usually only have one shot
im using my poleaxe toy 🌹
Pro tip, there are no map props. Even the latticed walkways in slums are physics objects. Every single bowl on a shelf is a real object. It's nuts.
If you see something that looks even remotely like a box that can hold something, open it ever time
yo guys how do i rank up? i am in peasant rank and i maxed the progression bar but no matter how much i win battles i dont rank up. ive won like 10 matches but still no rank up while the progression bar is to the right
YAAAAA
tounrey. play the tourney
Yeah ive learned that, just found out earlier you can actually loot the golden cups and shit you find to sell lol
holy shit blunt damage is idiotically overpowered right now
they just have to walk into you
Tournament sign up is only available in the morning. Make sure to hire 2 goons to help you with the multi people fights
that typo is gonna kill me
okay thanks
i love this map so much
I missed so much loot in my first hours before I understood the new mechanics it's actually painful to think about
how do i equipt amour 2 locked slots
how do I chose where something gets equipped?
arming doublet
You either need a piece of clothes that can equip the outer armor, or something you are already wearing is incompatible
is chainmail supposed to be paired with clothes cause its clipping through eachother alot
how does that one run? ive seen it and am excited for it
In real life, yes. So I assume that's just a visual bug
holy shit Veteran Tourney is so hard
I hope that clipping with the chainmail is sorted out because it's really necessary
its small, runs good
i hope all clipping is resolved it offs my piss
dudes be quoting anything atp
I really fucking wish that injuries didnt translate over to the next fight
i forgot my flail when i dropped it doing the drunk man thing 😭
Man this early access is so much fun, I never expected the game to be expanded so much after playing the demo for over a year
hire 2 soldiers and use the big candlestick from the abyss or the spiky club thing
Yeah even the demo has weird clipping issues but the ea release has even more. I hope they can fix that up at some point too
Is bro xorvo attano
and poke them from a distance
oh boy quote spamming
jack marston did NOT say that
my name is john half sword
is it enough to delimb a zombie and walk away, or do I actually have to make sure it melts into goo?
he did
I hate clipping in any game, genuinely can't just ignore it I feel like the second I notice it I'm staring at it constantly
yes i did 😔
I got so excited for a second then I zoomed in and that's just an armet this sucks
sword sword swordhur
Lol same
it feels like they upped the sliders for blunt damage to the max
yeah 😔
had a barrel jump up 2 inches and knock me out
Be quiet newgen
i a bit racist
willie ong
Willie
willie
What's wrong with Willy 😭
Sometimes I pull so ahrd I rip the skin
they got eyes on the back of their head
willy doesnt have as much aura
Same
Are you sure
so sure
if you use willy i will put you in the pre-hotfix 1 slums map
threw a trashbag
My Willy always have aura
ive been in here a year longer than you
What
Be quiet newgen
speak up newgen
evil baron bullies peasants
No IV been here 6 days before you
where do u find the crossbow at? I haven't seen one in my entire 14 hours of playing....
i dont even know when i joined but it was probably before you newgen
Forest
By the cart
I joined a month before you newgen
149 bpm
if i beat the baron more than once can i get all of his clothes
okay uncle
ty bb <3 (pls dont mute me :P)
gotta beat him 9 times total
calm down girlies you're both beautiful lol
sounds worth it
Oh my God I almost sent a gif of anime girls kissing on accident
I meant to send 149bpm
send in dms please
haha woop! dont send that lol... dont sent that
it defo is
I have a wife
👀
send the anime girls kissing in dms NOW
Is the pavise worth it or should I stick with my buckler?
get the small pavise
u can punch with it
LOL
#observing
Better than a buckler though? Its heavier
i love that the devs added a muffling effect on willies voices if they have a full face helmet or mask
100%
real
Can someone help me out
Hell yeah I'll try it out. I need a better Messer also but I'll deal with that later
oh wait im oldgen ive been here since 2023
With the added jumping I dont think its possible to do spinning heel kicks anymore
one of the main reasons people used bucklers were because they were small and easy to see your enemy if you were using it, but ingame theres third person so theres no use
yeah ok blood role
me realizing im oldgen
Uncle
how do you check when you joined a server
Don't say that I first joined back then don't make me feel old
Oldgen yet isn’t even over 3 years lmao
lets see whos been here the longest
Click profile
Makes sense but I've been having really good luck parrying long weapons away and closing the distance. I hope the pavise lets me do the same still
2023 is oldgen vro
it will
You just know it's there
ive obviously been here the longest
oops i meant to reply to klesck
LOL
May 2025 buddy be quiet newgeb
why do willies hair glow when its dark
Do you want a joke answer or an actual answer
Willys do NOT grow hair in the dark
Guys I’m still down to help others get better fps on half sword so reply to this message in this channel and I’ll dm you instructions (I know I sound like a Chinese Ali express ad just deal with it)
yes they do
Really
joke answer
yea
Not mine
Do you have a preferred one handed wep so far? I already said I'm a fan of the Messer but I would try something else
Get that checked out
black hair turns grey when in the dark
because you touch yourself at night
mace
ok the zombies are kinda stupid ngl
what.
Oh you meant glow
i use my willie for a one handed weapon, but i also tend to use my haft shaft
😭
Get that checked out still
thrusting with an axe = instant death
🤣
Like a short, fat one? I only tried the 2 handed mace so far but they seem good
You use your willie one handed? sounds like most ppl
I like the thin spiked mace
my main loadout is baron beak + baron sword
I joint December 17th 1468 bud
morning star mace with max weight on the metal part and half weight on the handle with half length and max size on metal part
Bro when you're fresh out the gate and have shit body mass those 2h maces are unusable. The rubber wrists make them whip all over the place
only real brawlers fistfight swordsmen
Hard to even get a good swing in
newgen
was doing that less than 10 minutes ago lol
Hell yeah I got a new load out to try now thanks guys
quarter and draw me
nor way its most pinnacle
game cheated me 🙁
😟
Congrats lmao
im trying to do multiplayer but i control my friend and he also controls himself, any help guys?
I remember the old days of rubber wrists, I just didn't expect them to return.
is there a way to do brawls in freemode?
I came here from the subreddit to see the chaos yesterday.
damn it 😔
im so og
what does the red even mean on items
i think fists are the best weapon because you can just wildly swing them around or theyll get cut off
stolen?
halfcord yesterday
Love that movie
I don't need your congrtiltons
i thought it meant legendary or smth 😭
Cool
I set the subreddit to sort new and every time I refreshed there were five new threads, I knew I had to see what an unrestricted chat feed looked like.
evil legendary
holy combo
maybe…
this is because i have the baron helmet and its too big for a Bevor, so its red.
jojos bizzare adventure stand
no i mean like this
ohhh
i think its because
nice 4 piece
its because its hungarian
hungarian wine
probably
When you get a thing from the Abyss and bring it back it's red for some reason
Cursed
Evil item
if only neck snapping was a thing
