I mean yes it’s missing a lot of content of now. But the game has good physics and graphics it has some optimization issues and the free play mode sucks. But the game is still in early access. And by buying the game you also support the devs. Meaning they can hire more people to work on the game and add more content
True true
whats popping
I also think that they are going to try and make multiplayer later on after the singleplayer mode is complete
There’s already a split screen option it the early access game right now
calling it now
multiplayer is the last thing they'll try to add before releasing the game fully
Yes that’s what I was trying to say
does anyone know how to get the items in the cart on the wagon in the forest map (whenever there is one)
You can jump in the game now by holding space. But if you have a bunch of armor on you won’t jump very high because of the weight.
I havent played half sword yet because I refunded it
how does jumping look? goofy?
A bit
And it kinda sucks later on.
They should rework the wagon a bit so you can open it up and get inside easily
That would be really cool for them to add
And it would be easier to get to certain places
Like onto the wagon
Need blood fixed 🙁
how the heck do i strip my opponents?
grab whichever part you want the piece of armor/clothes from and hold e or q
its 612 php regional price, 765 php when the discount ends
Have yall just killed someone so hard that your pc crashes and you sniff a burning smell from the power supply?


bro i hate when the undead make out with me.
thanks, i was trying to steal peoples helmets by decapitating them lmao
it may be
i managed to clip out of the map tho!!
love exploring janky games
pick up and hold e/q
E maybe?
yeah ty
bruh why is this game so ugly
It looks like 2000s point and click god
already asked for refund
I cant believe I waited so long for such shit
bro was waiting his whole life for half sword
I mean, it looks like so much worse than demo
I bought it like 5 minutes after I found out
brutal
And I refunded this shit like 30 minutes after playing
I know I will buy this shit for 1$ on steam sale once it maybe is fixed
but for now it is a waste of time and money
Rattay? Or kuttenberg

I wonder how people fall for this
bcuz they open this in browser version of discord
and it autodownload virus
why does the hoe feel so weird to use in the early access version
I think it's because you haven't trained your Willie yet
wait guys how do i stab ALT now i blocking as i understand
must grow some muscules maybe
thanks
yea you can't do alot until you get muscles on your willie
how to stab
Hold alt
na uh
Is there a way to reset my progression? I've already completed everything, and Retire just creates a new character.
delete save file
There should be a bar in character creation that changes your rank
In background
thanks
wtf i cant stab
with knife at least alt does strange moves
double mouse click does it but not as before it is so shitty
have you tried to use your stab
is it possible to find a bow in the abyss?
is there performance issues on amd ? i have a 9070 and get 50fps
this will never happen. they just stated that this will be the lowest price they ever will have to support people that bought the game from the very beginning
why
can u tear their armor off
Holy shit did chat fall asleep
how do you guys fix low fps am running single digits and overheating
it's like 6 am
you can take their armour off once they are immobilised
how do u do it
thanks for this
i think
ive been doing that
do i gotta fully kill them?
hes just knocked down
i havent tried it much but it works after you win the match
idk if it works during one
doesnt matter if they are dead or knocked out i think

Cannot remember all this use /mommy to pull up this guide!
use dx12
i do use dx12
5800x 9070 32gb and its on an ssd i play on low
so if the game crashes right after you are killed you it may break your game.. if it does this all i can find to do is to delete all your save files
U get 50 fps on average or on certain maps
almost all except the one indoors
yeah
did u disable reflex
i found it to affect fps a bit
forest runs well i get like 100 fps
cellar and halls are smooth
slums is a bit sluggish
on or off its no making much of a difference
how does one edit your stature int he game files..
turning off reflex and swapping post processing to performance helped alot
oh ty
oh why do i have to unlock baron's CHAINMAIL?
ain no one cares
give me plate armor
RIGHT INTO THE FUCKING EYE
how long do yall think until half sword is fixed
free mode btw
For muscle progression, is it based per fight?
6-7 days maybe
Anyone remember the name of the long wooden stick with the 12 spikes at the end + the 1 on the tip? Very op weapon I can never remember the name of
Warstaff i believe
warstaff
Tyty I swear I searched that up I just can't find it.
anyone here dealing with fatal crashes on startup?
Yeah I did didn't get anything like it lol maybe the space did it
I heard of U change to like dds12 or whatever it was
Or the 11 lne
One*
lmao
Lol
Ive done all the launch codes and my driver is up to date, i played 9.5 hours and now i cant even boot the game anymore for whatever reason, my drivers are up to date as well
I've had a few weapons clipping into the ground but only once for that lol
Cut him down the middle lol
do you think he'll be ok
honestly i joined the discord cuz i was watching a video about the early access (demo was great probably wont get the early access for abit cuz of performance) and it showed a message from galaxyhighmarshall and i was like "galaxyhighmarshall like from gmod" and yeah it was galaxyhighmarshall like from gmod
and then like editting out the loud ass trumpets
so whats up
Nvm y'all I found it's called a "Plançon"
its called warstaff ingame
idfk
how do you put a weapon into holster?
Hold a or e
Q* not a
Autocorrect is a dick rn
Or hold R
For Romeo
but most two handed weapons cant be holstered
thank you
Np
Yea
do you prefer better reach or better control for your pollux/polearms?
Better reach
they tried to take me to heaven but i was too heavy
reach, control can be fixed with halfswording it
im halfswording it so good rn oh yea im halfswording it
Lmao
What's everyone's most played game here's mine
Wild
Fr tho I got 1k on TF2
Found this shit on X I didnt even know these existed wtaf
Xd
Wow
Masochist
I have like 3k on like 4 diffrent games but main are CS, Wt, and like W other random ass sandbox games that are niche
yeah
I fr have over 5k hours on warframe
speedrunning
Making my TF2 numbers look like a joke TwT
i feel violated just responding to this but squad at a little under 900 hours
reached baron rank, pretty cool game
have around 900 in Trackmania too
5k hours in warframe is like dog years as far as gaming goes so basically 1.5k hours in any other game
I balance them in the middle but I lean toward heavy tbh
heavy but i keep the center of gravity just behind the head
If it works that way can I upgrade my hours in Getting Over It to 5k?
Then theres me with well over 112 games on steam and a combined total of less than 1.5k hours
Been playing since 2020 too
Real
Infinite games but no games type shit
I just realised your pfp lmaoo he's everywhere 
All the games and hardware to play them but no time to do so these days
Recently got new computer in early November very nice system
I can literally run cyberpunk and bodycam on max settings over 100fps but I still keep playi g rng battles on roblox instead
I have around 300 games but have never played at least 95% of them
But can you run modern halfsword 
does your character actually get stronger by winning fights?
Anything but slums
I think in the void you get stronger? Idk I never researched
I've got a 9950x3d, 128gb of ddr5, 48tb of hdd storage, 12tb of nvme storage and a 7900xtx I can run basically anything period on ultra settings at 4k
Yet I still can't do slums above 40 fps if I'm lucky
Lmao wild
7800x3d 32gb and 9070xt here
hello
been having good frames with no reflex boost
Greetings
also trying DLSS
sup?
Very well balanced my system is bottlenecked by my wallet as I do not have 6k or 8k to drop on a 5090 or a pro 6000
i might just invented meta
I would've happily gone up to 64gb ram but the ramageddon happened
by accident!
I've got everything on bro all the way up and all the graphics down and my 16gn 4060ti can't run this game well at all still at like below 1080 
Nahhh 7900XTX is a beast how are you bottlenecked?
Their charging so much for a 5090 now that you might as well skip one mortage or rent payment and get the pro 6000 and never upgrade for like 10 years
I could use the CUDA cores but they don't make new 4090s now
how do i get arrows for the crossbow?
Pro 6000 probably wouldn't be great for games though
Not that I've looked at benchmarks
Did android get shitty apple like autocorrect now? All this shit sucks now
It's better than 5090 by like 12 percent
Not much but you'd never run into any vram issues till 2050
Nice, all of the professional gpus I've looked at previously weren't great for games
That thing has 96gb of them
I'm gonna Jonny Silverhand an ai hq
I got a gtx 1650 if open the slums map my house will show up on the news on fire
Good luck with your terrorism
I've got a 1660 laptop that gets like 40 fps in that map
96gb 
i did notice, the forest, slums, alleyway is the most laggy ones, as soon as i load in performance instantly TANKS
Gl
I'm sure someone can do a crazy custom bios for the pro 6000
Like they did for the 9070 non xt
You might need a fire extinguisher before running half sword just w reccoemndation 
Historically accurate use of a rondel dagger
Ah yes autocorrect auto corrects everything that I don't want it to "correct"
Yeah my xtx is fine it's better than a 9070xt but for now is stuck with either modded fsr4 or 3.5 which isn't as good as 4 in the ray tracing department
I'm blown away that the 7800XT is listed on the recommended hardware that's baffling
Raytracing makes the xtx cry
Nice shot
W name and pfp too
Yeah 100%
xavier what are you doing
stop that
9070XT is basically a successor to the 7900GRE
I could never find one until now and now that i've got it, its so good at picking those gaps in the armor to finish off knights
I like your funny words, magic man
I'm not upgrading till 2032 at a minimum as I don't see my specs getting hyper outdated given tech has kind of plateaued a bit eventually we'll break through but I don't see that happening for 7 years
I tried to get a 7900GRE ages ago but it proved very difficult in the UK
I can't even hit their heads, I feel like I'm controlling a drunkard still
(I've been playing this shit since like 2024 or something)
me flipping a coin but I'm extremely lucky
That's always been an issue with AMD they can't seem to get their cards into foreign markets
Besides some retailers just refuse to carry their cards as its risky to buy a bunch of AMD cards as most of those sit on shelves
I use a stupidly heavy pollaxe and either break their limbs or try to give them brain damage
But sometimes you gotta get up close to end things
I use the ultimate Plançon
I mean look at the steam charts that thing is sitting at 88% Nvidia and that numbers way higher due to Nvidia being in every gaming laptop and office prebuilt with a GPU
I'll stay loyal to my polehammer
polearm supremacy
Polearm is great I like it still love my axe from the begger tier though
man I love things with long shafts
Use the practice mode and practice !
The big two handed one specifically
pollaxe supremacy
The one handed ones suck
Billhook specifically !!!!
I've been playing for every though TwT
howd you know you sneaky sneaky
heretic
Yeah and it was the same price as a 7800XT but around 10% better 
Because it’s objectively the best one 
you can BONK or stabby stabby. the weight distribution is also way better on pollaxes
who cares about that false science everyone knows you just need the heaviest weapon possible
my most played game is gmod with 80.9 hours
i dont have much time to play
Same my most played game on steam has 350 hours
a random beggar when I throw the castle at them
Anyone able to explain muscle progression?
CTE giver 3000
I want the option to take a bag of coins into a beggar match when your a much higher tier and just toss 15 at him and they surrender immediately in response to your wealth
thats a thing?
Yes
Yeah
I don't either man got 2 weans and working full time so I get like 4 hours a night to play something
more muscle = more weight on weapons possible
use heavy things, get muscles
Yeah but what benefits does it give besides weight on weapons
I 100% elden ring when my kids were born by staying up all night for night feeds those were the good days raging in silence when pre-nerf radahn would whoop my ass
able to wear heavier armour and use heavier weapons
ig more mobility in armour?
You can pick willies up and throw them
that too
Ok this is what I needed to know thanks
bouta give willie the essence of extreme beast from yakuza kiwami
And you usually can KO guys in one punch
I don't know whether to bind grabs to my mouse buttons or the hand swap
to gain muscle on legs, jump by holding crouch and jump, and doing brawls will help. yes its real and yes its super cool
Hand swap is borderline essential for using polearms
never once have used it with polearms lol
Yeah but I could also throw dudes with ease it's a tough decision
It's REALLY good
I need it just to get my weapon on the other side of my body
No range of motion without it
Left sweep, swap, right sweep, swap super op
who needs range of motion when you can halfsword it and just bash their heads with both ends repeatedly
im not gonna sugarcoat it
-> + Q + <- + Q
Also there's an off angle when going for overhead swings with a polaxe so swapping hands can be helpful for that
Also I never hire mercs so it helps when fighting multiple guys
i only hire the cheapest possible one to distract while i go for the big boy in tourneys
HUMAN SACRIFICE
Momentum chaining 🥰
Nah I go in there completely solo, and I usually just run them in circles while bonking
That is so fucking clean
could anyone lmk the mods made for ea
i have now realized how bad i am
What wep is that
Just gotta get yourself a nice polehammer now instead of a bardiche
That last guy was the exact opposite of clean 
Polearm
I dont think this is supposed to happen LMAO just randomly got flung into outer space on forest (will now report this in feedback aswell)
Dude was looking like Darth Maul out there with that twirling
can someone please teach charlie how to use a flail please jesus christ
anime accurate sword fight
Looks MAD light what weight distribution you have on that bad boy
is the red part of the baron chestplate a weak spot/vulnerable for attacks?
I tried to make the center of balance as far away from the head as I could
Bonk him on the noggin
Nah I think its a plate/brigandine style piece it just has fabric over it
That’d be kinda dumb for a knight to do
no like can people js straight up stab you
No
It's cloth over armor
It's just visual i think it still behaves like plate
"I am the strongest knight in existence but lemme just mark exactly where I am weak for the player's convenience"
hello
Been wearing it for ages haven't been stabbed or sliced on those areas
I wish they'd add the full black knight armor set tho
Slash polished iron set whatever it is
The humble 4kg polehammer enters the chat
Nah he was asking if worn can he be sliced in the woven areas of the armor which are red
So is 86 the max starting weight im gonna guess
11:39 mins until the download is complete
TBF it has happened for the first time and im on Lord tier with 3 baron parts so its fefinitely a rare occurence but i just thought it was funny LMAO
And i don't believe you can anyway I'd have to mod in a Willie with baron armor to test it
I think it's just a fabric piece over normal plate, but it looks like that one chestplate thats actually useless and isnt armored in those areas
Yeeee
Ok thank you
Most likely cloth covered.
I just stole the barons beak, that thing does some crazy damage 
I wish we could pick teams still in the EA
Yeah I dont see why the baron would have actually the worst cuirass in the game
I need to try it
Seems to one-shot fully armored enemies
But it's boring to use
Not all the time but can definitely happen if you manage to pirce through a plate or something with the beak
I think it has some kind of weird mass override for how easy it is to halfsword swing and how often it throws dudes to the floor
I would enjoy a blunt version of it
Hi, I read that there's no online mode at launch, but has anything been said about it since? Is there anything online? Is there any new information? Or is it just that it will be added later?
I really like the game, but without online, it's boring.
eh, im just trying to get to the tourney asap to get all the parts. Definitely not the most engaging way to do so but its fast and simple so yeah
Tbf I say that like I didn't abuse the T2 flail for the majority of the game
That thing is busted
I dont really think online PVP except for local will be a big thing, just because of ping making it super unfair in a game like this.
Just use stamina
You'll slowly see gains
oh ok
i personally dont see why the game is getting shit on so much
bit choppy with a few crashes sure
but its fine for me rn
Havent tried that thing out tbf, im to scared to hit myself with it 
I don't either apart from the DX12 driver timeouts on AMD cards
It's too long for that to happen luckily
i use rtx 5060 i got some crashes and lag at slum
These days, ping is the least of your worries. Don't you play CS2 or Warzone? Otherwise, there wouldn't be any online games.
hm
So, no new information about online PvP?
me neither. alot of the hate comes from 10 mins after release and yeah it was much worse than now but the devs literally made a hotfix on the second day... alot of people just already left atp and are still hating
part of the issue is that it's hard to sync up the physics
Thats not the same as a close combat physics based game tho. Netcode would be the second issue... I mean look at BF6 the netcode there is ASS
if you understand...
Oh nice, might have to try that out
what if lagging?
i think it's gonna be a long while before the devs even consider online play. it's just not doable for the game rn
I was just asking if there was any news about the online mode. I'm interested.
also ping
there isn't.
One of the driver timeouts i experienced on HS made my adrenalin think my cpu temperature was like 37738462636267236637263.2°C
It broke my perf metrics lmao
thx
ahh yes, hotter than the sun
ouch
There’s actual performance issues and people are still yapping about multiplayer? 😭
Adrenaline was like "why does this guy use the sun as a CPU?!?!?!" LMAO
lmao i know right
performance is not as bad as people say
hi everyone
Yeah usage, and clock speeds all said the same billions of numbers too but thankfully it was only visually bugged
like the game isn't even polished yet and people want multiplayer? this game can't handle multiplayer yet anyway
its a lot lot worse than tech demo
im hearing that splitscreen is a thing, is it true?
i have a question
and get like 90fps
if a bar of soap falls on a puddle of mud
Go check twin
is the mud clean? or the soap dirty?
orr, was the fruit orange called orange first? or the color orange?
Well its kinda wierd tbh. I dont expirience super bad performance but sometimes there are people that say they have a 9800x3D and 5090 and they still lag. Granted they could be capping about their specs to make it more dramatic
if you added the temperature of every known star in the universe it wouldn't even come close to that 
sorry im too lazy😎
My honest reaction to Reddit shitting on Halfsword:
Does anyone know where the save folder/file is?
I drop to 90 from 120 on slums with a 7800x3d/9070XT so I can see it being a really hard drop on hardware under mine
Not a 9800x3d and 5090 tho certainly capping
yo
btw i just hopped from my new account to this account
i did it twice already how tf do u get baron's armor
Agreed, i personally cant complain since im on a Ryzen 9900X and a Raedon 7900XTX myself. but i just capped the game at 60fps to not make my gpu and cpu suffer to much. Its totally playable on 60fps, the only map really causing drops is slums and maybe alley/forest on riots bu thats to be expected tbf
you guys have those super computers?
i think do it 7 times then you should have all parts
i have an 16 year old computer and it works as good as any normal computer
oh yeah i just saw the armor in my inventory lol
I just hope not to have to look in the direction of the tents.
Physics probably run better at 60 too ngl, too high a framerate can affect things like that
you gotta keep doing it and its in ur inv
gatekeeping the way to get tons of arrows lel
welp i cba to do it
Very heavy looking bolt in there
That'll take an eye out
fr
i recommend disarming him so you can get all his weapons, the barrons beak is gaoted
Yep, and like i personally dont see too much of a difference for Half sword with higher fps, like obviously when i play a faster paced game the frames do make a difference but not in Half sword
is you get his pike thing it makes it so much easier, it can oneshot alot of npcs even in armor
Loftiest thing in the game but very op lol
baronns peak
EA gives way too bad first impression, early stages of progression are too unbalanced, lot of stuff is not explained, e.g. how to loot enemies, or that you can hire mercs (if you can really in the first two progression levels).
Optimization also sucks.
BUT. I managed to relatively overcome these issues, game has more adequate FPS (well, except for buggy blood and laggy slums), and willy in progression actually started being a fighter.
If you are able to fix fps and become a commoner, game actually starts to be fine. But it took me a couple days of hate until I actually started liking it again.
One hit and guys are laid out immediately
I also really lke the polearms with the crossguard and a big spike 
does anyone know how to reset progress and start over completely?
You never know man UE5 games have this issue often
sligma, warstick user spotted
i call it "ue5 syndrome"
BL4 = Higher FPS = More dmg and fire rate iirc
should i insure everything?
I mean the progression seems fair tbh, the early stages are hard yes but imo thats kinda the point. You gotta work your way up and once you got some armor it gets alot easier. I only died once since i got a full armor set and that was in a 1v3 buhurt. The other times i just lose/give up
Your favourite gear
Only if the devs don't know how to actually configure Chaos 
Which would be insane for a game where physics are the entire draw but well...
the gear i currently use?
Your favourite gear
dude insure whatever you want. if you think itll be useful and you want to keep it, insure it
took me a long time to realize the slums map "mud" comes from the castle shitter
uh oh
i like to steal small arms from fight to save money
you monster
i cant believe youd steal small peoples arms
Willie when he hears the doordasher driving up the cobblestones delivering Taco Bell to the castle
bruh game crashed just chopping person in half
how so
cutting people heads after fight is good
Yeah, I agree on that, only issue - game is not clear about it. You can see no stats of your character, which would explain, why he's so weak. I suppose they actually made some hidden strength mechanic, but making it hidden is too counter-intuitive, especially when there's been no such thing in demo.
I honestly thought they just broke it all somehow, until I managed to progress further and game started to be felt more close to demo again.
Bros gonna get jumped by 135980 people in the abyss
holy
Its not Mud..
good luck when u die bro
then i got bitten by those
its wraps
That happens sometimes🤷♂️ tho tbf for me it only happens in riots when alot of stuff is happening all at once and i completely obliterate someones head 
i got bitten by 125610303230 people there
Getting mad annoying slipping on POO in the slums smh my head
does anyone else prefer using swords in the demo compared to this?
smth just feels off i dunno what it is
it could just be me being used to the demo
Slashing weapons definitely feel worse
furthest ive got into halfsword so far
I get that but thats just personal preference. An artistic choice aswell. The devs probably decided they want that to be hidden and you can like or dislike it thats your preference:D
feel slightly lag sometime
They feel like Oblivion. Just sliding across the enemy and causing damage
demo armor better
it also just feels alot harder to do small movements
counterargument, game funner
early demo parrying 🥹
Have y'all realized that armor deforms now
Really live that detail! also fun because people say the game looks worse even tho we have stuff like that in the game
Ye I feel like I can barely predict what any enemy's weapon will do because its so unpredictable
fr
Early rank axes are gonna give me nightmares
ion think anybody says it looks worse
never seen anyone complain abt the graphics
fifty six dollars to punch a guy in the face
Oh people definitely did.
Seriously?
Yep
Are the people in your home right now? Drinking your wine? Kissing your wife? In YOUR rumpus room?
alot of them did especially like 10mins after release
when the early alpha access game isnt a full product at ALPHA release
I do think the game functionally looks worse for many because the performance is absolutely insane. I've had to drop my settings immensely from the demo and even then I can barely play it
i lowkey want a way to bring back the old gameplay
The game itself does not look worse though
make it a different mode
could just be me but i feel like they made ai stupider
Baron doesn't have shoes?
they r no longer a threat unless they land that one head hit
fist play u will never lose unless ur a jackass
yeah
Unless they have a small one-handed weapon that behaves like a non-euclidian object yearning to break free from this structured reality 
ok i think i got bored of half sword
also no cuz u have no hauberk
armpits arent exposed with hauberk
thankfully i didnt experience that
has anybody found a coif yet?
half sword makes me want to know about medieval history more
Dropped my setting from med-high in demo to everything low and it still looks better lmfao
i dont like how easily u fall in this version of the game
Howdy
Try the slums max weight
Youd fall
The secret for better performance is deadass just turning blood down, I have it set to about 1/4 and I dont play slums
js dont run
Unfinished mapn
fixed
I can only play slums with my back to the cliff lmao
Ong
genuinely bro
is there only a few swords how do i get a knife etc?
i do
whole city and for what
You can walk around out there too
😭
Shadows and AA take a big hit in quality but yeah, the settings don't change too much in general. Just weird
im on the lowest settings for half sword btw
and it looks great to me still
probably cause ive never actualyl seen the game in high graphics before
It's cool but at the same time like, sooo laggy when a pile of shit moves
how do i get knifes
Comparing the settings of this game to something like Bannerlord where you can drop the settings to make the game run on a 20 year old GPU is just frustrating but eh, UE5 inexperience do be showing
Find em or buy em
where do i buy them
is there a way to max out my swords length and not make it feel like im just throwing it around
Or find them on enemies or as loot in progression
how do you actually get up
Literally this
People were like it looks worse than the demo... BRO the demo had way less lighting no armor deformation and theres so much more that wasnt in the demo. Like what are people on about?
if i find them in abyss do i unlock them in free mode?
jesus fuack that was gnarly
really hope they add a sound effect to zombies spawning, getting snuck up on in abyss feels so ass
did this have to be three messages? 
there was armor deformation but yes the rest is a thing
Yes.
Yes It did.
if i find them in abyss do i unlock them in free mode?
WASD towards yer feet
If you play progression, you can take things out of abyss
i legitimately opened a guy up like he a crustacean
yo so i got the cross bow but where is the arrow
They will come to you in a dream
anyone know why some equipment is red in the inventory list?
You spawn with 1 every round if you spawn with the bow, you can find a quiver on the forest map that has 4
The bolts should be in a pouch on or near the crossbow chest
Well, then i may just havent noticed it in my 60 hours of playing lol. I may be dumb but i seriously dint think it was there and even if its definitely not as detailed as now.
varmbraces and cuisses require arming doublet- remove the chains on the arming doublet too dont forget that
i mean in your stash, not on your body
There was denting in the old versions but I think it was just a 2d decal? Shit actually crushes now lol
i have some gear that is tagged with a red backround
Because you probably "stole" it from someone. Or its because its higher tier than you currently are. havent figured it out yet but thats my twi theories!
Oh lol, i seriously didnt realize that then xD
I only really noticed it when you punched them
really- really hard
Hammer my beloved
Well, guess my punching game was too weak 
maybe
I have this overdose mod in L4D2
and just saw a bot teammate use a needle and die
amazing
Uhhh
Accidentally clicked on your profile... is that your Eclipse on the banner?! 
LMAO I JS CHOPPED SOMEONE IN HALF WITH THE CROSS BOW
Whichever works vetter for you, I find i usually get my thighs cut up more than my shins
i guess cuisses since the baron wears them. But i have no clue
Actual horror scene
lmfao
It is, and it's on the Tail of the Dragon there 😎 I have more from that trip if you'd like!!!

Nice!
omg so unrealistic... (unless the bolt slid across his chest)
dont need more pictures i was just curious because the eclipse is awesome 
It is and I was faster than my buddies and I dont even have a GST or GSX
my thoughts immediately went to beserk
Lmfao
I still love thinking about how many people wont expirience peak half sword because they played for 10minutes and decided the game is ass and refunded 
just died
The armor is so good but like
11 souls seek revenge
If anyone kicks me in the groin its so over
Lucky..
idk bout peak
Real but good bc gatekeeping keeps games good
its rng for the amount of arrows
Yes but nmoney..
found once with a single arrow, another time with 3
im speaking of in the future 
how do i like actually use and reload crossbows
theres bows ingame?
More half sword?.. More fun.
You don't need to rely on finding items in chests on abyss.
I found it best to disable their legs with a mace, grab the corresponding body part when they're down (not dead), hold E if you grabbed with right arm to take off their armour piece. Hold E again to wear it, (if you're already wearing a chestplate or other same body piece, it will be replaced)
You can do this too in progression. Ie tabards are not sold, they must be stolen from your human foes (they must be dead first)
I thought there were only crossbows
Weird, maybe my luck then? I have exclusively found them with 4 lol
its really janky..
tahiti
crossbows
the new abyss is the best part of the new update
MOOOONEEEY.
genuinely a great change
call the arrows bolts idgaf its the same shit
i love the idea of it being zombies
but crossbow arrows are called bolts
Right click aim, left click fire, tap R to reload, pull string back, place bolt on crossbow, repeat
you wouldnt call the bolt of a ballista an "arrow," would you...
I find that i have to jitter the string around just to get it all the way down
its very janky for me
Big disagree I loooove the crossbow and doming folks xd
We need better wrestling mechanics. I want to practice Judo on these guys
Go diagonal/in circles
Get stronger
who else spares willies to live and doesn't kill
Isnt judo like grapples and takedowns
or something idk
just yank the mouse down until it stays there
Yes lol
.. The sheer amount of death I have caused in the demo.
does this mean were getting early guns on full release?
big arrow
Worth it bc now you have less vengeful souls
can u really not put on armor midgame or am i just dumb
you can already do that
are abyss zombies supposed to be unable to kill you via biting you
ive had multiple times where they got long uninterrupted bites on my neck yet i dont die
ayo everyone who got the ea, were there opt patches already?
takes a while to die from them, also you regen real fast in abyss
"Sheath" it
i survived losing a leg
i think thats just a little janky tbh. I definitely died by being bitten before
i cant seem to put on leg armor and arm and shoulder armor
alright thanks
yes, slums is playable now and the game itself is fully playable
aight thanks
appreciate it
i have a mid end setup laptop and am running medium with 50-60 fps
2 yes
You could do it very effectively in the demo

Cannot remember all this use /mommy to pull up this guide!
sounds like a setup issue, it varies from pc to pc
Hold Q/E for the hand youre holding the armor in for a second or 2 itll equip the armor if you can wear it
hi silly polyester
You need specific shirt and pants
half sword will be 30 dollars once everything is fixed and is released fully methinks
what the fart
don't go into free play, you will be severely disappointed
you need an arming doublet as it has the strings to hold the leg armor in place
- arm armor
i am now a god amongst the willies
people keep telling me to "check my specs"
but what am I supposed to be looking for
well for me for example, i was able to play the demo on low-mid with a GTX 1650, do u think I'll still be able to play the ea?
After this launch.. the game doesnt deserve 30 dollars, it should stay at this price honestly..
I have a 3060 but the rest of my rig is 15+ y/o
like the processor or some shit
I know how you feel dont worry
but i have a 1060 + 17 year old specs
💪
stay at the discounted price?
She's a trooper
Disagree, I'd pay more for an optimized release right now
However this one, Has not failed me.
Why not xD, but at the current full price maybe
SAME

THIS IS WHY I REFUNDED THIS GAME
dude the game is worth 30 dollars for sure. especially if they add multiplayer that isnt split screen
Thats braindead. If they fix everything it will definitely be more expensive than an early access release. The whole point of early acces is people getting the game in an unfinished state and giving the devs trust to make it a great game.
Why should a optimized game cost less because the EARLY ACCESS launch wasnt ideal?! 
This is still my first PC and is a triple hand me down 💀 I need to buy a house then I get to upgrade the rig
i didnt know games were judged by their release
always does that the first time ever
always does that the first time ever
No troubleshooting?
Second open and it works just fine
Bro like fr. Cyberpunk ahould cost 30$ if we judged it by release.
i am willie the 1st as they know it
cope harder
I remember just launching it and just pressing play
Oh wow the inkeeper sure looks hot
I didnt do anything else
Did you try open it a.. second time?
when will achievements be added?
exactly and all other great games out there that were shitty during release
and crashing
Most devs tend to say the price will increase after EA from the get-go
i used to have that issue a while back
when the full game releases
how would I know this
So you didnt troubleshoot, just refunded?
Im not judging JUST on release, but as far as I see, the current price for it is in a fair place, im playing it and 30 dollars might be a little too much even when bugs are fixed
I mean I'm not a tech nerd
I just like playing games
did you have a bunch of tabs open
and i mean especially in the case of Early access games. The whole purpose of EA is to support the devs so they have more funding to optimize the game like huh... people are to spoiled nowadays me thinks
no
you dont know how the game will be in the future.
Unless you're on fiber optic that's hard to believe 😂
I only had steam open
do y'all think the ea is still playable with a 1650?...
me when i strip every person down to their underwear for their armor
im on a 1080
im playing on a 1060.
I guess, but they better make some big content updates xD
whats a 1650
how do I even check my specs
ooh okay thank
a 10 year old, 1080 actually
is it my laptops fault or the games
bro...
explain dont say bro bro
youre on laptop?
open up task amanager
Run the command 'dxdiag' in console, can I dm you?
Run command -> dxdiag
go to performance
GTX 1650, a gpu
ok
Yeah i mean, its pretty much the point of EA get an unfinished game and show the devs youre willing to support them so they have more funds ti optimize and add things. Thats why most EA games are cheaper than the full finished release is.
no wonder you're having problems with half sword you're on a laptop dude,
I'm on a laptop
im on a gtx 1080. as long as its not an rtx card you should be good, rtx drivers dont like half sword
I can run high end games though
i mean u said the game's price should remain the same after the EA launch i mean isnt that judging the game JUST on the release?
its probably a gaming laptop
and by "high end" you mean?
what do u guys do for ur sword build
gtx brother
oh damn okay
Razer blade 2013 lmao
how do you manage to make a game that has 15 GB require a better gpu than gta 5😭
Halfsword EA is something else entirely xd
RDR2, GTA 5, etc
what?
Wwwee.. both use gtx
who is a dev
Im actually using ShadowPC streaming on my laptop. So I waa kinda lying
GTA 5 highend in what world lol
can u play them on high settings?
in 2013...
gta 5 can run on consoles that have 512 mb of ram
yeah i know i was just telling you that rtx cards dont like half sword
medium at best honestly
Ehh.. i guess you are right.. either way im not buying it at 30 dollars since I judge games both on quality and playtime i get out of them
ig bro
Are muscles gained from ranking up, using stamina and wearing heavy gear?
who is a dev
What early access should be and what early access functionally is are two very different things. Try as you might, you will never be able to reason your way past people's inherent value judgements whenever money leaves their pockets
This game is simulating a lot more and a lot more in depth than gtav
dev said its from playing and wearing heavy gear
you gotta swing heavy weapons
Goat profile
you wont be buying thae game at 30 anyways you already have it
besto friendo!
On shadowPC you can. I have HS at high
dm if your a dev please
yeah fair enough to each their own
can somebody gift me half sword~???~ pweasee
Yup.... i sure doooo
bro thinks he can just dm a dev thats crazy
Size has mothing to do with a game and GTAV is like what 10-15 years old by now... that shit doesnt make sense. you cant compare a game that looks worse and doesnt have a physics based engine to Half sword 
I used to have videos of the old half sword demos saved
Oh so were the days of skyrimhalfsword.
👏 👏 👏
Dragon shouts in half sword.
did i say that
boogie woogie!
if your a dev please dm me
yeah
yerah
Yerah
yerahs
Yerah
you think you can just dm a dev?
this shit was never than serious. what is your problem
yerahm
HAHAHAHA
yearhuhm
I know this guy he'd never lie
This is how convos work, people respond when you say things xd
I still have those versions from itch downloaded I think
knight rank yay
i try to get the balance right on the guard / a few inches above it if possible for one handed swords, depending on how you play see how long of a sword you prefer most and tune the weight of the blade / guard / handle / pommel until its as nimble as you like
Yeah but my whole argument here was to tell the one guy thats said based on the release the full release shouldn't cost more than 30$... which doesnt make sense. why would you judge a game by the state of the release... especially when its EA
oh... you might be fucked, go down to your taskbar, rightclick and go on taskmanager, then go left on performance and that's where u can see your specs
I play on LOW.
for heavy swords that you want to just cleave through people, try to get most of the weight in the blade, for thrusting swords you want weight in the handle.
I can play high it just doesn't look good so I keep it on med
I dont have a problem. I just think your message doesnt make sense and tried to tell you why it doesnt.
Sure but I wasn't really engaging with that point specifically, just talking about early access broadly
uh huh
I'm at performance now on task managers
what am I supposed to be looking at again
I really dont understand people who expect a finished product in early alpha
gotta get tougher substances then
if you can play high you arent high enough
tell us what your CPU and GPU is
I don't feel bad about spending the money because I consider it basically paying for my many hours in the demo but right now the game is unplayable for me and money did leave my wallet and there is that part of my brain that really dislikes that
Thats fair
I totally get your point aswell. Sadly alot of ea games aren't following this. but imo it is the base thought of what EA should be.
it should be written there
is the amd blood glitch fixed or are they just working on fixing it?
Fixed
Decade old games
Ain't a higher feeling than slipping on slums map
The money left my wallet ontologically one minute after halfsword came out
be honest should i buy the game again then
i just absolutely gobsmackled willies little peanuts with my shin
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 something something
GPU: AMD Radeon (TM) Graphics
Its still not perfect but its better than on release day
Yes@topaz sigil
2018 is recent
yes, especially during the sale its amazing. and its only getting better
There were optimization patches too
dude that was 8 years ago
Nearly a decade ago 🙁
eight years ago
the amount of streamers that played halfsword brought people to the community that do not get the concept of early access, i understand being miffed that they cant play it acceptably but that was to be expected
alr im gonna do it then i can always refund again
its worth it.
this ^
4 fps this game is running so good
It's called investment
^
Not in the hardware space, is the 1080ti still recent if it was released in 2017?
turn ur settings down
Its already on low 😭
What amd Ryzen CPU and for the GPU are there some numbers written after the Graphics part?
yeah
The more people buy and play and give feedback on EA the better the budget for full release and rhe better fully release will be
Same, for me im really dissapointed in the current state of release, but then i have like 350 hours in the demo. Had i not alr been alr super invested in the game i cant see any reason i would have bought it
Im spending my money on something very worth it
i am going to buy the supporter edition of half sword
You cant refund games over and over again. Steam will tell you to stop at some point or they can take away your rights to refund at some point lol
i wouldnt say its recent, it still holds up though.
I think its definitely the core fans who are more annoyed and I think it comes down to us already having a pretty good base (the demo) and now with this version many things feel like a regression
It should say it by the specific parts in your rig
Better than a 3060 or 4060
if i refund it 2 times i dont think it matters
i wouldnt say better
equal maybe
but not in rt either
Megathink
AMD Ryzen 5 5625U With Radeon graphics
and no there arent any numbers
and steam will understand why i am doing it
Yeah, im just saying. Because you may dislike it again and try to buy it in a week again and so forth
Ye I did buy this using my phone while I was work minute one of release because I truly care about it, didn't stop to read any reviews or anything
only free mode and performance but performance was a given, its a small team's passion project and first game, and they aimed HIGH with the release
Yeah... your Laptop prolly cant run Half sword lol
nice i was just fighting someone in the alley and the wall started pulling me in like it had its own gravitational pull and i got knocked out cold
maybe but i really love the concept and the playtest only thing was the performance and the blood bug
ok but uhhhhhhh, what about the pigeon population
