I suck at parrying (people always call it manual block, but that sounds dumb).
I've practiced for hours in Native, duel server, etc, but I obviously just lack the required motor skills to parry in the heat of battle. Most people with my impairment just go Huscarl Shield/Side Sword, and do fine. I think 1h/shield is boring, so I loaded up on power strike and loomed a Great Long Bardiche instead (with the reasoning that with enough damage and reach, I could mask my horrible reflexes). I play almost exclusively on the NA Seige server, because the chaos of siege lends itself more to my playstyle (since I lose to peasants with practice longswords in any kind of duel situation). I may not be able to parry, but I have fun cleaving people and whatnot.
Sometimes the stars align and and I end up with a lot of kills during a particular map. Usually on defense, when I'm able to stand on top of a ladder and just split skulls nonstop. When I actually have a decent score, I never brag/gloat in chat, I just play the game and have fun like always. When this happens, invariably some guy (that prides themselves on their parrying ability, apparently) starts fuming in chat about what a joke I am, how I make them sick, making fun of my awful parrying skill, etc.
If you are one of these people: please stop. I don't claim to be good at parrying. No where in the server rules does it say you have to be able to parry 75%+ of attacks to play on the server. If I get more kills than you some round, it doesn't mean I think I am more 'l33t' than you or whatever. So please chill with the elitism, and understand that not everyone can be as awesome at every aspect of the game as you are. I follow the rules, usually focus on the map objectives, and generally keep a low profile, so please just leave me alone and try not to let my poor parrying skill ruin your day.
Thanks
You thought wrong!
It was announced on the servers so that only people who play regularly on our servers would be aware of it!
On paper, we have 18 admins. Six of those were recently added within the last 2 weeks.
I will probably be adding more eventually.
For the record: Nindur has been forwarding all those who sent him admin applications.
I chose only a few out of these for the time being.
You can read what is and what is not allowed on the 80 man server in the ATS ban/unban thread. As for your claim that there are no admins on the 80 man.....I wish this was true. I struggle everyday to try and get 1 admin to stay on the siege but they play on the 100 and 80 man in droves. If you played on the 80 man without an admin the population was probably extremly low.
People might wish it was so!
And yep.
get stuffed you fucking scrub
All of ATS has to support the actions of all admins 100% no matter how wrong the action actually is. If you do not do this you end up getting in trouble.
I wasn't there Zisa, so I cannot do that. I can only respond to the post where my name was mentioned because I was there.
