Title: NA Watchlist
Post by: Diomedes on May 12, 2011, 01:54:52 am
This is a thread about the people to watch out for on NA servers since, more often than not, they'll kill you.  For most of these players the best way to beat them is to fight them with a group or distract them while somebody kills them nefariously.  I'll begin:
Cyranule_BRD: hes one of the best NA melee players period

Kalam_BRD: will wreck almost anyone's shit when hes in tryhard mode

WaltF4: not an amazing 1v1 but in support theres noone better

SingingInTheRain: ..do we really need to explain?

Darkkarma_Of_Chaos: best NA xbowmen i've ever seen

nK_Coldhart: still one of the best archers. she. shoots. down. everything.

Canary_Of_Chaos: we've all been killed by Canary once and you know it


Goretooth_ATS
- Bec de Corbin
- blackest armour

HarmlessPeasant
- Anything.  Just run the other way when you see this player.

Silveredge_ATS
- Short 1h + Shield, deceptive

TS_[some tag]_Zanthos
- heavy cavalry, or on foot with a morningstar/2h

Rhaelys_RS
- poleaxe and heavy armour
- also nice to talk to, if you get the chance

Leman_Russ_Chaos
- different each generation, kind of smelly

TS_Boyar_Robin_Longstrdie
- normally a bow but, up close, he's still going to kill you and your entire family

Socrates of Chaos
- 1h with deceptive speed, damage, and other "oh shi-" qualities

ManofWar
- whines about every. little. thing.
- will also kill you

TommybyFire
- rides a horse, comes out of nowhere, lances like a boss

This... again...

It's a good way of seeing who you don't want to invite into your teamspeak.

I don't think you want to be on any new NA watchlist, probably will trigger you as a potential target for the new autoblock conspiracy witchhunt, because "you can't just be that good", lol, you just spent hours and hours on the duel server for no reason.

On an unrelated point, has anyone even seen Carebear_Harmless Peasant playing lately?

Goretooth_ATS - Should be by himself
- Bec de Corbin


HarmlessPeasant - Haven't seen around in awhile
- Anything.  Just run the other way when you see this player.

Silveredge_ATS - Who?
- Short 1h + Shield

TS_[some tag]_Zanthos - belongs here I reckon
- heavy cavalry, or on foot with a morningstar/2h

Rhaelys_RS - ok
- poleaxe and heavy armour
- also nice to talk to, if you get the chance

Leman_Russ_Chaos - Yes, watch out
- different each generation, kind of smelly

TS_Boyar_Robin_Longstrdie Overall yes, toughest archer for me to duel
- normally a bow but, up close, he's still going to kill you and your entire family

Socrates of Chaos Not a standout, maybe haven't watched much
- 1h with deceptive speed, damage, and other "oh shi-" qualities

ManofWar - Will kill you for certain
- whines about every. little. thing.
- will also kill you

Carebear plays on the Siege server often.

Cyranule should definately be on this list, the mans a monster.

Leman with a 2 hander isn't horribly scary.  Leman with a shield is a fucking deathtrap.  Might wanna add Dexxta and Tommybyfire to the list.  Fucking tommy on a horse is not fair.

I meant this again as in a prediction on the rampant trolling and flaming sure to come as people clamore to get on the list, or dispute who is already on it. Hence the gif picture of a nice fellow eating popcorn and enjoying the show.

And let us be real here, TS has never talked to me in my life besides Kolee so I very much doubt that anyone ever intended to invite me into teamspeak in the first place.  :lol:

Good to see your stance on me sir! Best of wishes, and my apologies for any slight that I may have given you.

DarkKarma needs to be that list. Anytime I see them on they are usually destroying enemies with an xbow, or breaking jaws with their Iberian mace.

Also possibly Noobie with his spinning awlpike of destruction.

King_Chris also tends to be a one man wrecking ball.

Or how about Queen_Ugbert's deadly accuracy with a bow?

If it were only 100ms I might actually still play on the EU servers. Sadly though, I get a minimum of 220 ping on EU servers compared to my normal 50 in the US. =(

I know it would not happen, but if there was a way to keep track of stats like in a game such as Bad company 2, that would be cool. It takes everything into consideration not just KD or level.

K/D is hardly an indicator of a good player
someone on a played charger could run over tons of peasants could get tons of kills
whereas a very skilled player could only get a handful of kills based on situation

Title: Re: NA Watchlist
Post by: MrShine on May 13, 2011, 07:29:54 pm
I think the list is a bit too inclusive to be honest.  All the players mentioned are excellent to be sure, but I would only leave a handful (and add a few) that I would consider top of the line

Goretooth, ManofWar, HarmlessPeasant, Rhade, Tyrian are probably the 5 that need to be swarmed or ranged down if you have any chance of winning the round.

Cyranule, Lemen Russ, Tydeus, ROHYPNOL & RUFFIES (as cav), Rhaelys, (and a lot more that aren't included here): are all top notch players that can single-handedly decide rounds, but while I'd lose to them 19 of every 20 times there isn't the same sense of dread as running into the aforementioned 5.

I feel the most dread against Cyranule actually, just saw him go 63-3 on a battle server yesterday with a longsword (normally hes 1hander), haven't seen any of these other guys do that on a battle server lately even with danish greatswords and becs.

We here at Dracul know what it's like, we're on the top of the scoreboards quite a bit and we never get mention. I've seen the same with SoA too. I've seen Allers destroy enemy teams by himself, he was in a tunnel with 6 - 7 guys behind him, and all he had was a one handed un-heirloomed sword. He turned around and obliterated every single one of them. He ran out of the tunnel to kill the rest of the enemy team.


So what does it take to get on this list? Heirloom heavy plate armor to masterwork, grab a long weapon, heirloom to masterwork. Join a server with plenty of people and spam around? These "watch list" are always like this, they include the people who are in the biggest greatest clan or have the best weapon and armor. Shouldn't this be based on skill?
Title: Re: NA Watchlist
Post by: MrShine on May 14, 2011, 09:00:45 pm
I think the people on this list are mentioned because they do it consistently and have a high chance of pulling out a clutch finish even if outnumbered 3+ to 1.

I've seen plenty of LLJK and Dracul do great things, but the people on these lists do it day in and day out.  Not everyone on this list wears heavy armor either...

We do it on a daily basis, I think the people who make these lists follow old guidelines from the list before, causing a never ending chain of "Goretooth is the best player!" when he really isn't. I'm not going to lie, he's a good player but I don't think he does amazing things daily.
Title: Re: NA Watchlist
Post by: ShinySpoons on May 15, 2011, 04:32:13 am
I don't think this (or the previous) list is really about skill, but more battlefield recognizability. Bringing up an overused example again...Goretooth usually is in black armour with a bec, and plays during peak times. Dracul_Deltah for example is quite good isn't in recognizable armour(nomad vest?). Rhaylshesdfgf also has the same outfit all the time, the french bucket hat and leather mail something.
Title: Re: NA Watchlist
Post by: SHinOCk on May 15, 2011, 05:01:22 am
I don't think the choices are based on the kit people use nor based on a '' friend list'' but more about the skills of these people, i consider myself a pretty damn good player yet a bunch of those guys can mop the floor with my face the second i make a mistake. Sure there's a bunch of people out there that are probably really skilled but if most of the playerbase don't see them, they are not going to make it in any list.. sad but that's how it work.

I'm not going to deny some of your clan mate's skills because from what I've seen most of them clearly know what they're doing.  But here's the catch: if they're playing seriously.  I don't think people take Dracul seriously because half the time you guys are in peasant gear chopping at trees or running around with practice weapons.  In my mind it mirrors how people see LLJK - CaptainMorgan for example I think is a pretty good player but because of his association I don't think people will ever consider him in any of these lists.

We here at Dracul know what it's like, we're on the top of the scoreboards quite a bit and we never get mention. I've seen the same with SoA too. I've seen Allers destroy enemy teams by himself, he was in a tunnel with 6 - 7 guys behind him, and all he had was a one handed un-heirloomed sword. He turned around and obliterated every single one of them. He ran out of the tunnel to kill the rest of the enemy team.


So what does it take to get on this list? Heirloom heavy plate armor to masterwork, grab a long weapon, heirloom to masterwork. Join a server with plenty of people and spam around? These "watch list" are always like this, they include the people who are in the biggest greatest clan or have the best weapon and armor. Shouldn't this be based on skill?

hey I wear tunic over mail most of the time, and lately its been mail haubark :(

 yes I think goretooth's armor is a great player

and allers crutches on the strength build hard, and with his "horrendous" 60 ping, rationalizes wearing full plate while dueling, hes a walking vagina in the duel server,

hes a good player, but in native, he would get his ass handed to him i believe

I was there for the thing. Allers had to go watch American Idol so he couldn't go to Native to finish the 2nd half of the match.

This list is not about who is the most skilled, or best duelist, or best spitwad maker... This list is about the players that are consistently lethal.

Allers is a lethal player but he mostly goofs off so that is likely why he did not make the list.

You can argue all you want about goretooth for example, but at the end of the day he nets kills. Sure he is gaining a lot of Grace from his armour (even though when he is wearing his green pezzy outfit instead of his black armour he still is on the top five) sure he is using a build more suited for battle then for duels, but at the end of the day this list is about a watchlist not some arbitrary better-duelist-then-you.

Rhade for example was pure murder in a duel and is honestly one of the best duelists I have ever seen, but he was taken down faster then usual in battle due to his hyperspecialisation on dueling and his past dueling experience, and thus would have a problem of battlefield awareness and often get killed due to it.

So again, this is not a list for most skilled with X, this is a list for battle players that will kill you more often then not, or take down a huge swath of players before going down. Too many duelists have tunnel vision in battle or don't use proper tactics and terrain advantage, and the best skills of blocking won't save you there.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Most of us have been playing this game for some time now, and unlike the majority of the community we lack the ability to use the same armor and weapon for a whole year.

And there you're wrong. Allers has some tight restrictions due to numerous things, and you could possible re-arrange the native duel and cRPG duel if you wanted. Just make it early on in the day, probably on a weekend.

Pretty much sums it all up in regards to why some people appear on these lists and others don't.

I win battles scrims and strat battles thats what goretooth was built for. Im sorry I constantly beat draculs without much effort. I find many lljk gaining skill over the dracul bumch without the whine and double the kills.

I like it when mostly troll threads like this turn into an interesting introspective discussion about the nature of "skill" in cRPG.  I think it brings humility and a breathe of fresh air to the "dual me then if you're so good!" and "if I'm terribad then why do I have so many killz?" attitudes which permeate cRPG chat.
