i have spent 4k hours and i am still noob, it's better to leave now when it's not late!!
I've grown tired of the fact that in crpg if you aren't one of the pros, you'll never improve because they just slaughter you instantly every round. So, I'm just playing this as a poor man's economy simulator. Wearing minimalist gear, lazily protecting myself from pros I know will kill me, I watch my gold increase. All I care for now is to make in game money, because the game play is only fun for pros.

It kind of sucks because the whole idea behind this item breaking/repairing thing is to make it so people can't wear the best of the best all the time.Moar goldsinks? lel, fuck that. Hurr imma spend even more gold wearing mediocre gear.
Unfortunately chadz did not think this through when he made it so you can sell your loom points on the market. Now he is looking for more ways to make it so there is more gold sinks but it is too little and too late.
It royally screws over new players.

I'v spent loads of hours playing and dueling but never managed to stick out the mass or be listed in player names. But i get my fair part of kills and I'm happy with that.i totaly get it man. I played for 7-8 moths trying classes,trying to be good as 2h but it realy isn't for me.
You will always be better then someone else. try to find your class, it took me a good year but finally i settled with a 1h/ thrower hybrid.
and nothing is best then to hear chase go on ts ": Fuck you Lactose"
It only "screws" them over while they are in their first gen or while they do not have enough gold for medium gear and good weapons. Once that is over, they are able to sell the loompoint themself and ignore the upkeep as well.You dont need money to use gear up to 30k. You can go with 1k and get 50k in one generation.
After all, leveling up is not about skill but only about time currently.
What i learned from byzantium ppl it looks like not important but it realy matter. You need to know map well and know where to move,and where not to go if you don't want to get early raped.True, duelling only gets you halfway, the rest is experience with how battle works and developing awareness for where to go and when to go there.
It realy matter if you know where cav go,where archers camp,where inf moves,so you know where to go. You will live much longer, and kill more.
Also you need to know when to run,when to attack,and will ur teammates run or fight with enemy.
and nothing is best then to hear chase go on ts ": Fuck you Lactose"......after you accidently TK'd him with the throwing lances you should be giving me!
Lots of people commenting "play more" or "get better" and "l2block" type stuff.No man,we all started with 1milion gold and 10 mw items. We didn't get raped,bullied,killed buy other players and we never,ever needed to learn to block manualy.
Most of you commenting have like 3,000 hours into this game or more. Give the guy a break. This game isn't for the casual and you know it. It takes weeks/months to become "DECENT" and during the time you become decent, the experienced become even more so.
Too many players have mega looms and gold stacks that allow them to wear their heaviest gear all the time. This makes it extremely difficult for new players to get use to this game. The learning curve is very steep and frankly, the majority of this community is horrible. Of course our new players aren't going to be ecstatic the whole time they are learning to play.

One hour on the duel server, in Teamspeak, with someone who knows what they're doing will teach you more about how to "go pro" than 2 months of playing by yourself ever will.QFT

He brings up a good point if you read through the crap. This mod is terrible at attracting new players.
Indeed it is. If this game was easy like all the other dumbed-down shit out there, it would probably have a ton of people playing. I play cRPG because it presents a real challenge. I'm not good at it, but I don't want to be given anything for free.
You can go play some tab-target piece of garbage with the rest of society if that's your thing.
Here you earn your keep.

To be honest, I've been trying to practice, and I'm probably doing better than average. But it's frustrating coming up against the same guy who you know will beat you, or watching the lancer cav go 25/2 every map and just couch you in the back within two minutes. Or just the unending knockdowns that cav do.
I'm currently using my light gear because I love how it looks; blue tourney helm, blue brigandine, and a heavy bastard sword.
I"m a pretty good duelist, it's battle that I find frustrating, why would I want to play a mode where 80% of my deaths are backstabs from cav, headshots from archers, or pin cushioning from archers, crossbows, throwers.
But that's not fun... I don't want to sit in a group of players and do nothing. I want to have fun, but of course you can't, because any fight will be ended by an arrow, bolt, throwing axe, or lance to the back.
Go archer or lance cav an pwn people who spent 3543563465465 hours learning feinting chambering blocking an using good foodwork.
Problem solved now move along..
I would spend all my time on duel if they let you earn better experience

In battle, knowing when to go in and being aware of your surroundings are more important than being able to successfully block every attack.
Duel servers used to give no gold/XP ticks, so be thankful you get free XP and free gold without paying upkeep.(click to show/hide)

Scan allways your surrounding and never fight one enemy too long without keeping track of where you are going or if there is cav or other enemies around. Try to get in some easy fights first like 3 to 1. There will be enough occasions to fight 1 vs. 1 if you survive the first minutes. If you get hit by an arrow or see more than 1 ranged in one spot, just back off except your whole team is approaching ofc, etc. Overall battle awareness is key, try to anticipate when to engage and when to retreat/flank/attack on other spot.

So Slev23 wants to be rambo, but then complains when he's all by himself with a bastard sword and someone on a horse comes along? Someone that moves at least twice as fast as him and with a weapon that's probably almost twice as long?
People's suggestions for fighting in a group with your team are valid. That is where you will do the most damage to the enemy, and be able to still pull in the strengths from your teammates. Ideally you'll have some shielders around to deter or take ranged ammo from hitting your teammates (or hitting as easily). You'll have pikes and pokey spears to deter and stop horsemen (as well as poke infantry and make their life hell when they open up their body/release their block). You will hopefully have your own ranged as well who can keep cavalry away, and put a hurt on the enemy.
This isn't counter-strike. Think of it more like Team Fortress Classic, or Chess. There are different classes, and they all have strengths and weaknesses. The point is to exploit your enemies weaknesses, while minimizing your own. Sometimes it takes a team or group to counter all the weaknesses when you encounter a group of enemies.
Learn to die with honor.:shock:
