To think why you are reading this thread.
Back on topic. As cav I do attack late spawners when i consider it being a valid choice, but it happens maybe once over 100 rounds. The enemy spawn isn't always safely reachable, and there are usually many other squishy enemies.. I agree. However if someone is not moving at spawn I will usually let them be. I would rather help out the team than risk getting one kill followed by almost certain death. 1 kill doesnt make a difference if you are cav and a good cav can easily determine whether the round is won or not by helping out inf with bumps and taking out archers. It's the good for nothing noobs that crap themselves at the sight of a "free kill" that annoys me......
Anyway, I usually don't attack 2h or polearms, even "afk" at spawn. If they are faking it, it's a swift death for me. 1h, ranged and sometimes other cav, it's another story.

who gives a shit..about Xant rant..ooooh I thought you was speaking bout the thread... Anyways I ain't sure who is gonna wanna do that but I guess I could ask when I'm playing with my clan... I do like pretending to be afk sometimes and killing those stat whores but there isn't much I can do when I really am lagging.
again.. recruit someone to guard on your team if you are a slow joiner.

This has been discussed in Torben's cav guide. Unfortunately some guys just love spawnraping. I am cav now and I usually try to help late spawners by staying near my spawn and protect them. Most of the time the cav that comes to spawnrape are total nabs who just want good k/d ratio like real cav. In reality they are just sad weaklings who are not able to kill men in real battle situation and thus they have to go the easy way to "look good". They are so easy to kill because they have no idea about 1v1 cav fights and they die like assburgers. Sometimes I see older, dedicated cav people spawnraping and it makes me sad.
You do not sound like a true Fallen... go be bad and start spawnraping!True Fallen helps his team to win, not to get good personal k/d ratio dumbass! :D

notWhat is the point in sacrificing your horse and probably your life for a spawnkill? How is that a smart move? Yes I know we kill everyone the dirtiest way possible, but this is just stupid vibe, not dirty, just plain stupid :D.
Lol, he madMe mad? Oh hellno! xDDD :-----DDDDxD .DDDD:D

Fallen not smratTrue dat. Help me on this Torben if you are reading...
Do you like spawnrape wooki? :D
i love itThat's a nasty habit like smoking. It is fun for awhile and it gives you pleasure, but in the end it becomes only a habit and it kills you.
I am favorite thread and this Xant on the Citadel.
-stop killing people that havent moved on their spawn. dont matter if afk or what ever, if they havent moved yet, just let them be.(click to show/hide)
Spawnkilling for the sake of it is usually stupid. But when used effectively, it's only douchy. Like roofcamping. And roofcamping is allowed by the mod rules (except the unused asshat rule ofc.).
If I saw a cav player on my team ignore a free kill at enemy spawn I would be pissed. That enemy could turn around and kill me, a teammate, or the cav player later in the round.right.....
Yes it's cheap, but it's battle, not an honour simulator. Same goes for kiting, backstabbing, you name it.
Also the only time this should legitimately happen is if you spawn in late to a game. If you spawn at round start and are still lagging long enough for an enemy cav to reach your spawn check your computer/internet connection into a nursing home.
Sure it's lame. But it's also smart.No it's not you stupid cunt.
I don't rightfully understand the complaints here. It does seem kind of cheap if you spawn later in the round and there's cav everywhere and the map doesn't have some sort of cover nearby but that's one round and maybe it happened because you were just starting up.God Bless You Sir!! stole the words from me. BTW I dunno why my reply showed up in the quote.. I am
But you boot up the game, join a game, and then go afk at the start of the round? Honestly what do you think is going to happen? I have come back from being afk and right as I put my headphones on I've gotten lanced in the back. Still, even now I get lanced because I'm not paying attention on the way to no-man's land swinging and feinting like a lunatic for fun but it's your fault. ...... Are you serious? This is unavoidable as I have said I lag. If there is about 10 ppl left on the other team and the guy at spawn is obviously afk then Ill put a lance through him. But if there are still about 50 ppl left and the guy is LAGGING.. (what I said) then that is just wrong. That my old friend is blatantly ignoring the other team and going straight for a lagger to make up for the kills he can't get. That Is what I think is wrong...No it's not you stupid cunt.
Killing someone from behind - smart.
Ganging someone - smart.
Killing someone who has not even got into the game yet because of some shit connection or pc means you are a kdr fuckwad who does not want to play, only win.
If I saw a cav player on my team ignore a free kill at enemy spawn I would be pissed. That enemy could turn around and kill me, a teammate, or the cav player later in the round.. Yes this is a battle simulator. So in agincourt the French cavalry charged around the trees to kill the english fucking afk?!!??!!??!! No they didnt. If you want a battle sim let them be. It is dishonourable and I fear against the spirit of the game. Yes that guy may then kill you. But as a fellow player it is his right to play the game and kill you and if he does he is a better player than you. If you charge him when he lags that Is cowardly and noobish and is just annoying.

Of course you kill them and move on. Same thing with cav picking off people who aren't being attentive/lagging at spawn.
Get angry. Don't know where that came from but not gonna bother if you can't be civil.Holy shit...

And the argument about people "having a right" to lag or whatever is bogus. My computer is on the verge of death and I freeze up occasionally for a few seconds in battle. Sometimes that gets me killed, and that sucks. Am I going to blame the enemy I was fighting for using that moment to their advantage and killing me? Of course not, it's my fault for being a dumbass who damaged my power supply with water.
I think this concern about cav spawn killing laggers is being blown way out of proportion. With coursers nerfed and fewer maps with really close spawns this happens rarely. Sometimes you might join a round late and you'll spawn in when the action is already all around you, but most of the time you should have plenty of time to get your bearings before getting couched.
Get angry. Don't know where that came from but not gonna bother if you can't be civil.. No no no. I mean if you ain't even moved at spawn yet and some idiot has gone out of his way to kill someone who hasn't even moved when there are about 30 other enemies around him. This honourable shit youre saying I don't get. I am saying that it is against the spirit of the game to kill somebody who hasn't moved when you could be actually helpIng your team and not dieing to piss one person off who was lagging. If someone Is clearly AFK and the initial chrge of the battle is over then who is gonna wait for him? I agree that It is stupid to wait for them to come back. But at the start of a round people Should be able to choose equipment or lag or whatever without these idiot cavalry coming. If someone has now moved at spawn but is only about 10 seconds into the round it is not your kill to take. Oh yeah and if you see someone who Is afk you dint sit there with upblock... You kill them. Or if there are still around 40 people you left you should ride away and help your team.

Because of this thread, rather, because of you Zisa, I'm going to make it a point that whenever I decide to ride my horse to take it to the spawn at the beginning of the round and kill anyone who is motionless.Excellent, contribute to the mass stupidity and hope I am not waiting for you.
Mr Shine:
Wow, seriously, congrats on obfuscating the issue! Please, perhaps you could bring up the length of a 1hander or the upkeep cost of heavy armour.
You just listed non relevant examples in an attempt to justify ONE shitty play.
Civil? Come on, your stupidity here is insulting. None from your list is worth making much of a post about, but thanks for listing them.
The reason you are indeed such a stupid cunt, and may remain so, is that the guy is not whinging about anything except NOT GETTING A CHANCE TO ACTUALLY PLAY. It's stupid fucks like you who for no good reason make THAT guy's playing experience an exercise in deathcam viewing just because he has some connection problems. So his playing experience consists of spawning and dying, without the actually fun part of taking a swing before he dies - oh that's gonna build the player base - YOU are part of the fucking problem.
Good thing battle is not respawn, because I can tell you would sit there and spawn rape new players and tell yourself you are good.
The issue? What issue, there is no issue. The OP is complaining that because HIS internet is shitty OTHERS should adapt their playstyle to accommodate him.You call it a fucking "playstyle". You call stat whores "players". "Taking it easy".. Well i just had i nice little tea bag on a few stat whores that i tricked into believing i was afk and it was good. You are obviously incapable as a player to get kills and are raging now that someone says that what you do is wrong. OP is a whine. WTF are you on about. I have been perfectly reasonable i thought and asked if this is annoying anyone else. There is no need to be rude meht. Me and Zisa think that you are being stupid to rush over to enemy spawn and have all those "Free Kills" that you cant get. There is no way i will alter my comp as it is perfectly fine. What is not fine is the immaturity and the cowardice of other players that i hope give this game up. And "PUll their punches"??. Dont you mean stop being a dickhead and man up and best your foes in melee combat rather than killing them whilst they dont move or are lagging. Please reevaluate your next post and think is this relevant and a decent post or am i being "a stupid cunt" and should i alter this post. Good day.
I'm not going to go onto the EU servers and complain about how they aren't taking it easy on me. It's my problem, not theirs. Solution = join a different server that serves me better. Same issue with a laggy computer. Solution = reduce settings or buy a better machine. The solution is NOT asking other players with perfectly good connections and perfectly good computers to pull their punches to accommodate my problem.
Funny part is I'm not even much of an elitist; I'm a pretty nice reasonable fucking guy if you actually knew me (instead of calling me a cunt and a fuck). There's a reason this thread got trolled into oblivion on the first page; the OP is just a whine and the solution is common sense.
But if you insist this thread needs to go on (it doesn't) I ask you this: how would you solve this problem? What steps would you take to rectify the situation the OP describes?
Don't attack spawns until one minute has past.And how do you enforce this?
And how do you enforce this?
And how do you define "spawns"?
And how do you distinguish someone who is lagging from someone who is afk/trying to leech?
Please reevaluate your next post and think is this relevant and a decent post or am i being "a stupid cunt" and should i alter this post. Good day.i quote.. nuff said.
I think some of you butt-hurt ninnies need to re-evaluate your definitions of a 'game' and what the concept of 'play' is. God forbid you spawn late one round and lag somehow incapacitates you to the point where you somehow freeze from shock that an online game is lagging, don't move, and the enemy runs you over. You have to wait a whole 5 minutes, maybe, before you can play again.Have you read the thread?
This thread.. whew. You don't like getting killed "dishonorably"? Too bad. It sucks to die right after spawning or lagging and dying. But that's part of the game. Accept it or move on.Ok. I suppose I have worded myself pretty badly. I guess I am just trying to ask people to maybe kill enemies who pose a threat to your team rather than going out of your way to kill ppl who have to wait a few seconds before play and haven't been able to do so. I am sorry if I have seemed rude as it was not intended. I am just a pissed of young 13 year old boy who would rather people play the game by fighting properly. This was not intended to be whiney or whatever other people have said about this. As for calling
Besides you seem like a guy who doesn't listen to anyone but people that sound like you. So this is all pointless talk for myself and/or anyone that agrees with me I suppose.

Shine is now a master debater.
Congratulations!!!
End of thread, two conclusions emerged :Yup.... It was a bit offa fail..

me someone who doesn't listen to anyone else.. Um, sorry. If you read all my replies you will.. I will find that I have been pretty reasonable just discussing this. If you think it is whiney then please move on.
