Title: My manual block is really improving
Post by: Hardeknud on February 09, 2011, 08:44:23 pm
I now see that if you don't block manually, you're a noob.

More like, if you don't manual block your ping is in the triple digits. It's pretty useless at that point.

Yep, in the triple digits I can see the swing coming but it takes like 3 seconds for my character to start working on that block I told him to do so I prefer just swinging as wildly as possible and pray the other person can't block.  And hope an admin teammate is not next to me.  For some reason it's always an admin I tk...

Actually now that I think about it, my character not doing what I tell him to do is sort of a feature à la Top Gear, whereas when I see someone approaching and see he's about to swing if I tell my character to block he delays as if saying, "Are you sure?"  Then I die, which is sort of like my character reminding me "Well it's your funeral." because blocking does nothing to kill the other person thus reminding me not to block next time. 

Really useful piece of advise my character gives me.

Lol.

I just avoid team battles and use a long weapon with footworking, I can easily go on killing sprees where I kill 10+ people trying to team me this way, even with 200+ ping. But yeah, even at ~115 ping 90% of my blocks get hit through. The only time my blocks don't fail is when the opponent holds the hit for a while, and doesn't feint. Spam spam spam ftw.

Whenever I play cRPG (which is almost never), I play at about ~125 ping and I can tell you that it really isn't that difficult to parry. It is just more difficult to counter attack after parrying or block a feint (nearly impossible at times).

I'll pulled it off on EU many times, on NA as well, but my ping there is only ~115.

Yes 10+ people at ones, with a manual block weapon. And allso you deflected a hydrogen bomb with you're hands... While you saved a baby from a burning building.

Truth be told if you use a very long weapon with high ping you might get kills (think toosexy style GLB spam back in the day when it was so spammable), simply because it's hard to guess distance/etc vs someone with a very high ping. Much like it's very hard for them to block.

200 is still in the "easy kill" ping range. The lag armor starts at 250/300.

It's not cheating when you set up and/or alter rules.
