The way we perceive the game often times change over time as we mess with other builds or gain more information. Any funny old posts you regret making / disagree with now? I hate looking at my old posts even now, but it's good to make fun of yourself every so often.
When I used to lobby for throwing when I didn't understand the resentment against it.
I can't 1shot people with heavy throwing axe to the face with 10 power throw. I just accept that it'll take 5-6 wardarts to get someone's hp to half. It is pretty cool to pester people with them. I never expect throwing weapons to kill ever.
Going up against a thrower is by far the easiest thing in this game. You only need to strafe side to side for a few seconds if you really feel like dodging. You can still run at them anyways since they'll probably miss, and they can't stall very long due to their crappy ammo numbers.
Throwing imo needs a huge buff because otherwise they're a waste of space.
This is my current point of view after having a thrower as my first generation, then switching to a more viable pure build over the next few generations.
I think PT*10-11 is already high enough. The limit shouldn't really be a crippling effect, but should just discourage blatant overuse.
If you're trying to get 10 PT, it leaves little wpf to hybridize without making many sacrifices.
Increasing difficulty, and rebuffing the damage/ammo would be nice.
:oops:

I play as an Xbower because I rage quit too much in melee, even when I do well. Plus I like 1 hitting archers with arbalest.
Now im a Melee my old friend that hates any xbowers with a passion, im still bad at melee but i have learned to enjoy it
-
Nope, 2h still OP
and archery has got worse
-
Dunno, ask Panos.

I mostly miss the maps :D more nord town etc! and that giant ass ruin on a hill :mrgreen:
-
Actually, when I look at my old posts I mostly agree with the points given there. Maybe my old posts are not old enough though.
Still, some funny moments:
How about dual-wielding 1h weapons? It could work just like 1h but each hit would be doubled (with some nerfs, of course). Would need lots of new animations for that though.
Its not the first time I see this strange thing...
For example, look at this auction - http://c-rpg.net/index.php?page=marketplaceauction&id=1441
The funny thing is that you can never become the highest bidder, because when you make a new bid it instantly becomes overbidded by 1 gold more bid.
What is that?
Royanss raped me as 1h cav when I was hoplite. :oops:

My ears have come to appreciate the sound of QQV.
I think people lose perspective on this whole looming thing..Before you got like +14 body armour just because you played the game more. Now its +10 or so. Its still a huge bonus that imo shouldn't even be there. Its a game of skill not about absorbing more hits because you have better gear. You even get +3 damage weapons and +1 speed, and the bonuses from the other armour parts. Don't forget how it is for new players like me who not only have to learn how to play the game and level a character but also play against people with better equipment than them. If you have triple loomed anything then just wear it and forget about other people's stuff, and with no downsides to balance it like there should be (+weight or upkeep etc), or a limit of one loomed item wearable at once.
I see people like to be rewarded for playing, but +14 body armour was silly. +10 still is..the gloves shouldn't even add full body armour. The armour ranges between 9.5 weight and 12 could use a bit of love, but its still kinda negligible
My second post on the forum, and its still true I think except light/medium armours are pretty good (especially when loomed). Nerf +3 looms, especially gloves
-
I don't like reading my old posts cause I don't care to read a bunch of stupid bullshit.
-
When I first started playing Strat, Kesh told me you had to shit post when bugs were found or they'd never get fixed. Now I know better and I don't report them at all.
-
I haven't changed my build, outfit or attitude for over two years.
Earliest record of my full build I could find (http://forum.melee.org/general-discussion/the-body-guard-thread/msg371299/#msg371299)
21/08/2011 - You poor saps (http://forum.melee.org/announcements/new-admins/msg207350/#msg207350)
Reading back, everything I type is as self righteous as ever, but yet the same great people that I knew back then, are still here today. Madness or Stockholm Syndrome.

Siege is full of admins.
While at it, add "suffocation" to archer hidden in glitched hay stacks. :lol:
A polearm spammer might be more effective, due to the longer duration of the Stun effect after hit, comparing to 2 handers. Thats why you might see a lot of players ingame using Hafted Blade, or Long Hafted Blade, Glaive, or fast Staves, in order to "Stunlock" an opponent, which disregard being extremely lame, it's really effective.
Cheers.
Yep, and it also separated the lame archers and str stack abusers from the true archers.
Even if nerfed to the bone, we stand strong! :oops:
:oops:
They know what I mean, I've been explicit more than enough times already, costing me ninja post deletes and some really sad feedbacks.
It's never enough to say this, "Thank the gods Tenne is admin now". It's the only time when I feel I can play almost bullshit free in a full server since I know for sure that even if he's fighting and see's a "chat to admin" text he stops the fight and solves the problem straight away.
[23:01:51] <DaveUKR> i've just decided
[23:01:54] <DaveUKR> that i'm too good for crpg
[23:02:20] <DaveUKR> and gave a chance to playerbase to improve
[23:02:33] <DaveUKR> so when i come back - they player at the same level with me
[23:02:37] <DaveUKR> true stor
[23:02:38] <DaveUKR> y
[23:02:44] <Shik> lol
[23:02:56] <karasu> The scary part is that you actually believe that.
[23:03:01] <karasu> dun dun dun
[23:03:05] <DaveUKR> the scary part is this is true
( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º)

ill play along on this one. this was my very first thread on this forum :D
http://forum.melee.org/general-discussion/new-player-lols-banner-'balance'/
nope, havent really changed perspective, quite visa versa actually :P
-
Looks like all my early posts are sincere careposts where I try to be constructive, helpful, and humorous if possible.
How boring. :?
edit:
I stopped playing around summer of 2011, and picked CRPG back up a little while ago. If anything, there are a few more players on servers now than then. Sometimes you gotta wait 5 minutes for a slot to open up to get onto EU1 or NA1 during peak hours.
The seige servers usually have 80+ people when I'm on too.
:cry: :cry: :cry:
-
I used to care about cav, now I just stopped playing cav. Is that a change of perspective ?
-
most of my first posts were ones about templars or just boring stuff
This thread however was GOLD

ofc you have to watch this too as it goes with the thread for the memories

I am using 33 str and 3 agi and it kicks ass. I normally use a flamberge when I play DTV, but when I am up against real players I pull out my great maul.

The time I declared DL wasn't dead. Kept it partially alive up until end of this February in which case, the last 4 members of DL finally disbanded.

Me, being the First Official HC in NA. Sad to see what happened to it, I do miss my baby.
So much XBOW support. Still do support xbows.
Well, yesterday, I started building healing tents on the Battle server. It was very fun, and it seemed to, on certain maps, enhance team survivability and coordination in fighting. I also noticed that the enemy tried to make my tents a primary target. It turned some maps almost into an objective game type, with one team defending the precious heals and the other team either capping it(and then using it) or destroying it to prevent it from being used.
In accordance with this, I also wore all white(DOCTOR ftw!)and carried my khyber knife(surgeons scalpel).
The thing I want to know is, for those who've played with the tents and me last night on the NA server, do you like them, Find them useless, or still don't know yet?
Good times then...
I got WAY to many pages to run through. 240 pages...

Anyway I have too many pages to read through, sigh.

My stance still remains the same for the last three years. Buff Katana.

I try to rush the enemy and just jump around so they TK eachother, it works sometimes but most of the time i'm raped by archers on my way there.

Actually when i think about it that is still basically how i play.

Throw some oil into a wok. Preferably peanut oil, but I suppose canola will do. Let oil heat on high.
Add some coarsely chopped red onions or shallots- whichever you have. Finely chopped garlic. Next, grab some ginger and peel the skin off with a spoon. Scrape some ginger- about a thumb's worth- into the wok. Reduce heat to medium.
Meanwhile, boil your noodles for approximately two minutes or however long it takes your stove to cook it.
Throw noodles into wok, add soy sauce to taste and a dash of mirin, saki, or rice vinegar. If you didn't add mirin, add a table spoon of honey or a teaspoon of sugar. Add mushroom, chicken, or beef broth- about half a cup.
Add vegetables, tofu and/or meat of choice. Raise heat to high. Toss your noodles about. Add some chili or white pepper, an egg if you're inclined, and top with spring onions if you have them.
These days, I would tell you to first infuse the oil (using a wire mesh strainer) with a handful of peppercorns and a dozen chilis. I would also recommend using a vodka-based batter for your choice of protein, as well as roasted peanuts to boot.
I, too, am scandalized and disappointed at the sexism that must be rampant among the developers. I am green with envy, without the bonus of green hair! Day after day, I am subjected to admiring Lorn's hot pink hair with the sure knowledge that I am unable to stain my beautiful locks in any pigment but a variation of black and brown.
This, people, is a travesty.
I demand equal rights for all genders and all skin tones!
We are now all equally bereft of colorful hair.
I'm sorry, but this is simply nonsensical. Melee speed has already been reduced enough that blocking has become laughably easier than it used to be. If melee speed is slowed further, every feint would be blocked, too. The spamming that I do see is a result of facing someone with longer weapon length. That's your culprit there. Especially if you're using a 1-hander or other short weapon.
Eh, I like egalitarian measures. I also suspect my reflexes have slowed down over the years.

I use to rag on shielders before and after my BlackRose days. Use to give Edward shit for playing"skilless/autoblock/rightclickforwin".
I felt like an ass after I went shielder when I played the market for a Espada.

This ruined it for me aswell, my warspear was req 9 now it is 11, i used to be 9/30 but now i have to go with a slow 12-27 :(
Im still sad about this. Now i have to settle with 15 str 27 agi, pff.
On another note of unblockable swings: 2h swords seem to be able to do a thrust wich makes a sound like it thrusts then bounces off but then instantly after it sideswing come swinging at me. I barely have enough time to block this since it is much faster than a regular sideswing and when i hear the sound of a weapon bouncing off i always think i am able to swing before the opponent. This "bug" occurs alot when duelling and i never had it occuring pre-patch.
:oops: First times of getting thrust glance feinted, cant say i enjoyed it.
Will trade Masterwork warspear + gold for a lordly banded armor.
The one time i almost let go of my warspear, ALMOST! How could i ever leave you my beautifull Gungnir.
Damn the nostalgia, every second post i made was buff warspear, all i got was nerfs though. Maybe i should change my approach. Looking back at things, this game is in a pretty nice state of balance right now in comparison.
Also some cav hate, which is still going strong.

Youve got to be kidding me. Ive been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. Its just common sense
What the swag did you just fucking yolo about me, you little wayne? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Swagmy old friends, and I’ve been involved in numerous Obey Records , and I have over 300 confirmed Swaggers. I am trained in wearing snapbacks and I’m the top poser in the entire Swagmy old friend Army. You are nothing to me but just another No swag. I will swag you the fuck out with swagger the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking hashtags. You think you can get away with not taking pictures in the mirror over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my mom, she has alot of swag, and your ratchet ass is being traced right now so you better prepare for the yolo, nikka. The yolo that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your swag. You’re fucking dead, nikka. I can swag anywhere, anytime, and I can swag in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my baggy skinny jeans. Not only am I extensively trained in having plugs and snake bites, but I have access to the entire Hollister store. and I will use it to its full swaggness to wipe your miserable swag off the face of tumblr, you little Non trend follower. I will swag yolo all over you and you will swag in it. You’re fucking dead, nikka.
Some things never change.
