Ya, someone from 22nd did that ages ago. Far before I joined...  if you meant that as a stab at me, you failed, because what happened had and has nothing to do with me. Yes, that's right, the rumors are wrong, I'm not 22nd_Mom.

Oh, and no offense meant by what I wrote before. You're not bad, you're pretty good in fact. Just nowhere near the level of the best in EU.

YOU ARE SUCH A TROLL

Horse Archers : me

In other news:
Underrated fighters (since all the big names tend to be mentioned) :

Patrick (fucker uses so many alts)
DancingBadger (even if he's not really NA, he still shows us up)
Givi (when he bothers to show up on the servers)
LUBU (butts)
Horrible (excellent support)
Rhuell (see if 3 guys can kill him)
Title: Re: Best Players on NA cRPG
Post by: MrShine on July 26, 2011, 03:17:02 pm
Shielders: Manowar, Cyranule, Balbaroth (in order).  There are a lot of good shielders but I feel like everyone else is greatly below these three.

Everyone else below is not in any particular order.

2-h: A bunch are great, but Tyrian and Harmless Peasant probably top the list.

Polearm: Goretooth, Rhaelys, Tydeus (also great 2-h).  Also WaltF4 honorable mention as best support polearm.

Mounted: ummmmm hard to define best.  I'll go with ROHYPNOL/JimCANDY, Huey Newton, TommyHu & Tommybyfire (same person?).  Also where the hell is RUFFIES?

Xbow: Darkkarma & Silveredge prolly. I'll begrudgingly include Fallen_with_stupid even though he's a dirty camper :D  (I think I'm forgetting someone important)

HA: Probably Murchad & Coldhart.

Archer: As a shielder this gen I haven't been a vulnerable class since the archer changes so I don't know if I can make a great assessment right now.

Thrower: See above.

That's more than 10, but you know what?  SCREW YOUR REQUEST I DO WHAT I WANT!

If you think goretooth is anywhere near the best then you know nothing about ranking in general. Yes a guy who can take 15 to 20 strikes at 7+PS in black armor is super skillful, i mean just look at his K/D!

Goretooth takes the system and uses it to his advantage.  To do something else for the sake of some arbitrary sense of skill or honor is foolish. 

There are plenty of tin cans w/ heirloomed armor that can't get anywhere close to the sort of k/d he can.  There are plenty of tin cans that take a million hits that I respect much less in battle.

I stick by my vote.

ps: yes, I feel gay white knighting Goretooth.

I too feel that because terrible players manage to get below a 1/1 KD in plate that having a 10 to 13 hit damage soak advantage over other players = skillful or worthy of praise. Give me a break, armor won't make a bad player great but it will take a mediocre player and make them into a demigod. There's a reason Miley makes the scoreboards whatever he wears but when goretooths black armor is deleted you don't see him for weeks and when you do he's back in the center of the scoreboard.

So like, Goretooth is seriously considered one of the best players of NA, if not the best? Disappointing...

Show me a strat battle where he has less than a 2:1 k/d

goretooth only has a bad rep because of his black armor , otherwise hes pretty good  ,

                               tho skilled people not wearing black armor tear him up  ( 1 vs 1 obviously )

same for my when i used to wear a huscarl , now i wear a 8 body shield and people complain still :p

shielding is easier than 2h and polearm.. theres not much to it


really then why are the most kills by 2h and polearm? obviusly there is because people  like balbaroath and tankmen are above and beyond any shielders. if there wasnt much to it then every shielder would be up top. im a shielder and terrible

Darkkarma is easily the best, maybe joint with dexxtaa.

Mostly because they are the only people in NA that really love me, and that's a sign of being the best.

Most people like the amount of damage and aesthetic value polearms and swords give. Sword and board isn't the most heroic looking playstyle too most i'd imagine. I know when I first started Mount and blade a I thought "to hell with that defense shit, get me a big blade to hack and slash with!"

That said, other noobie shielders would crush me because of the fact they simply needed to wait for the "clank sound" before mounting a counter hit.

Pike fights are always fun. I fight with Adoptagoat with pikes all the time. Don't think he's ever beat me, need to find some better competition.  :wink:

While pikes are generally a team weapon, you can do some pretty crazy things with them 1v1

And so, the third incarnation of this thread rises again, along with the traditional retarded "your personal opinion is invalid and here is why" arguements which ignore that "best" is an extremely subjective term, like saying "who was the biggest dinosaur?" (when working at the museum, we had several ways of answering based on weight or height or length etc).

The c-RPG life cycle continues.

If words are weapons then I think you're the finest duelist in this community.

2h and polearm can deal much more damage in a shorter period of time. Shielders have a much easier time against ranged than 2h and polearm. Not getting shot to hell helps.
if you're a shielder and you're terrible its a reflection of your skill and not the class.

To Huey -

I don't think shielder is an easier class to play, just different.  Maybe it's easier in the sense that a new player can pick it up and do well with it easier than starting off without an auto-block, but I _know_ I'm at least worse with a shield because I am just not used to the speed decrease I get whenever I put it on.  I heavily prefer one-hander no shield to one with a shield simply because the shield encourages me to use the RMB, and I hate that button.

huh? that's not hard to follow at all.

A tournament would be cool. People talked about restricting gear earlier in the thread, I argue that since a major component of C-RPG, and arguably the main draw of the mod, is player customization (i.e., buying and equipping equipment and leveling up) it doesn't make sense to restrict gear. As an example, if someone wants to fight Goretooth, noted for his use of heavy gear and an OP weapon, with peasant (i.e., very cheap) gear, he should be allowed to.

However, since heirlooms are only obtainable through large amounts of playtime, and the tournament would be a test of skill, not a test of poopsock capacity or inability to obtain and/or hold a job, they should be disallowed.

Honestly in my opinion  the only way to asses true skill in its purest form is everyone have the same stats and same weapon like in native, Everything else isn't balanced and different builds give advantages in melee. When I was NightWind, a fast assassin, I could hold my own against the best for a while, but I just didn't have the power to hurt them PS 5. I would have to hit them 4 times to their 1. With Gk_Leonidas power strike 8 I can inflict serious damage with  each blow. What do you guys think.

Standardize the armor and everything else is OK. Everyone can choose what weapon/ build they prefer to play with.

Most people like the amount of damage and aesthetic value polearms and swords give. Sword and board isn't the most heroic looking playstyle too most i'd imagine.

Quoted for epic god loving truth.  Large 2h'd weapons get all the glory in pretty much every major media;  Movies, Comics, Anime, Games, etc.*1* 
However I've always been a fan of sword and board aesthetically.  In MMO's I've only ever enjoyed playing the tank, and whichever tank dons his trusty shield and grabs a 1her to soak hits from whatever boss chooses to stand in front of me.  In DarkFail I was one of the very very very very very few players that specifically went out of his way to use a sword/axe and shield and provide beta feedback to the devs asking for some kind of viability improvements (in DarkFail sword and board is absolute trash for everything except mounted combat only because it was the only thing usable on a mount).

Many airbound fist pumps whenever I see a movie like 300, Troy, Gladiator or whatnot when someone gets beat down by a shield.  Not just blocking with it and finished off with the sword, but shield bashed, punched, slammed and otherwise pummeled to shit with the shield itself.  It's why I originally wanted to play a shielder here.  I love the look, even though the shield is just an arrow catcher with RMB instead of a fluid weapon, but meh.  Take what we can get I reckon.  I love PA, and can top the boards far more often and easier with my trusty 2her (MANCLEAVER!) but from a pure aesthetic standpoint I do enjoy being a shielder again this generation.

*1 : Though movies are pretty good at showing that most '1hers are and were capable and often used with 2-hands during combat, fluidly switching as desired when the off-hand is free to do so.  Wish it was so in this game.  Instead of 1h/2h skills it would make far more sense to have 'swords, axes, maces, ect' wpf skills imo allowing for knowledge and capability for both 1h/2h usage with those weapon types*

John and Destin most definately. I only killed each of them one or two times each.

As for Fedor, he was good, no denying that, but I killed him many many many times. He stands out in my mind as a good, memorable player, but nothing beyond that.

On that note, I'm going to find Destin and get him to come back and join TKoV.  :mrgreen:

IMO, Carebear_HarmlessPeasant is the best I've seen hands down. Dude wears that silly robe thing with no gloves, no helmet and completely dominates even in horrible situations against mobs of players. He and Goretooth are right next to eachother in stats but I think Goretooth would be in the dust if Carebear used that same gear all the time. He doesn't make mistakes. I also have yet to see another player go ~110 kills and 10 deaths.
