Ahamade, I'm calling you on that. I seem to remember you doing a fair share of name calling a few weeks ago when talking about zergs.


BTW, I like you better this way (more amiable) FWIW.

"Good response Viv. We could discuss it more but you've already clarifed your first post enough for me. No sense in debating an argument we clearly see both sides on. I took your first post as being absolute when, in fact it wasn't.


We'll now return this thread to it's regularly scheduled squabble "

Frec - your not honestly defending Amazed are you? hes got to be the most immature person on these boards. If he keeps it up he might just get noticed by more people for only flames and idiocy spewing from his keyboard.


no I just like pointing out hypocrites.

Gairloch.


I was there to help, not to brag. I've played a hero and now I've played a arms.


Armsman in general, just like warriors seriously have no idea just how good their classes are.


I have been trying to offer the fighter community a viewpoint coming from a hero currently playing a arms.


The armsman is a great class and I don't look at the double spec as being a huge issue.


A lower rr arms w/ max quick has a higher damage cap and does more average damage then my higher rr hero w/ no quick.


The arms also has 39 slash 1h for decent damage while being a guardbot.


I like that spec and how that works so much that I'm going to respec my own hero (50LW,42Shield,39Parry,6Blades) to (50CS,42Shield,39Blades,6Parry).

Please, don't use basketball players as role models for good citizenry and fair play =) They ain't shining examples of much anymore.


Besides, those guys tend to be too friendly on court IMO. I much prefer the angry intesity of hockey players (minus Jaromir Jagr) and football players to the amiable attitude of basketball players.


What was this thread about again?

"The first 500 deaths you rolled in ez mode until everyone in Emain got to a higher rank and now your death totals have soared. Just imagine if nobody caught on to your nightly ez mode tower camping routine we wouldn't be reading this thread."


Well, this statement is wrong on very many levels. My death rate has always been fairly consistent, because I have always tended to earn a large percentage of my rps on suicide battles. Dive bombing 3g of an alb zerg, while a lot of fun, almost always ends in my entire group dead. LA, on the other hand, could kill that same 3g without a single death. So we both ended up with the same amount of realm points, just that LA survives and we don't. Tower camping started as a means to fight the alb zerg. It lasted about 3 or 4 weeks, until the alb zerg figured out how to combat it, and it became obsolete and disgarded. So 1 month out of the more than 12 months that I have been playing MW, I spent a small amount of time camping in the tower (mainly just at night when the zergs were bad). A good tower camping would give me maybe 2k to 3k rps before I died (most of my life as a chanter has been simply how many can I kill before I die). So you can see that it accounts for a tiny % of my 12.5 million rps.


Pbae was never an easy means of earning rps for hibs, as it is SO very easy to avoid. We don't have the aoe stun of Midgard. The minute I run in and pbae a group, they are free to move, meaning they can run out of range, insta mezz/stun me, put pets on me, hit me, etc. Even Ghaletul in his post was laughing at how easy pbae is to avoid. I have actually killed far more people with stun/debuff/nuke than I have with pbae. It just isn't as flashy, so people just don't notice it as much. I have had some spectacular results with pbae, but only against people who weren't paying attention and/or who weren't playing smart.


The trouble with mid melee gank groups is that you can play as smart as you want, you just don't have a chance to win unless you have the exact right classes with the exact right ra's up, and even then you have to get lucky. I totally agree with Aragornius about how much more fun this game is when you can play with different people and different class combinations.

"So pathetic that people of talent run to easy mode. Lagged again didn't last long without easy mode. Kinda depressing."


lol, idiot.


where have you been?


our hibs were alot stronger than our mids in alot of ways, the reason we left was because of the server..

"Atrax, when 2 basketball teams have a match, what do the players do at the end? They shake hands, right now on lance everyone does everything possible to spit on their enemy. They call them names, they harass them, and they are just plain rude to them. "


Ahmade, the game is not over yet. I am willing to bet that after people move from DAoC to a different game, that they will readily group from someone that played lancelot in another realm because of a shared experience of playing on the same server.

BTW, some statistics for you:


Maxiuus (highest ranking member of LA)

5,905,909 rps

1,048 deaths

5635 irs


Mistwraith

12,514,225 rps

3,550 deaths

3525 irs


My irs this past week is 3245, so you can see it's staying fairly consistent.

I wasn't critcising your advice to the fighter community about spec lines in the least. I don't think anything in either of my posts reflected on that.


What prompted me to post that, was your response to Frec about the ability to mez. The game from then to now is light years apart, and it sounded like chest beating to me. I pointed that thread out while chatting in IRC when the subject came up and frec linked it. I just pointed out that I provided the link for him and then proceeded to explain why. Perhaps I didn't do that very well. However, what I said was true about what you said, or maybe how you said it.


I don't doubt your knowledge in regards to the tank classes in the game, you can't play that much and not learn anything. What I didn't like was the statement you used to reinforce said knowledge in your posts. It was false, just seemed like the time to point it out.
