Yes, I'm an NA player, although I do rarely play these days.
All I meant to claim is that in NA Duel, if a player is using a shield, he is not likely to be very good. Certainly, there must be more than one good shield-using duelists in NA, but they are rare. I've played in EU several times, both strategus battles and NA1, and I agree with you; there are shielders there that will kick my ass. It is tough to determine how much ping is a factor, but I've no doubt they would give me trouble even on equal footing with ping.
You must understand, I'm not saying that shield-using players are bad. Nothing like that at all.
After the introduction of "Drop shield" button, I don't understand why people still put their shields on their back, when they could just drop it and then pick it up back once they're finished with that axeman.
Ummmm....
Fixing polearm animations and shit isn't going to do anything to inject a significant number of players into a game that is like 4 years old with a niche gameplay. This is just the way it goes. I don't know if you've ever played old games online, but I have. It always goes this way. First, a large number of players start leaving as they find other newer games to play. A core of dedicated players stay, and the most stubborn hold on for a very long time (maybe even years after most people consider it dead). But still, they stick around and the game is playable and fun. This mod has a LOT of life left in it. Don't expect full servers all the time, or even on weekends. That is in the past. I actually prefer small battles so my fun is not affected at all. As long as there are peeps to play with I'm cool. We've got plenty of peeps to play with. 20 is more than enough for me, and we usually have 50-70 on NA 1.
The game doesn't die. Like a gracefully aging star phasing into a white dwarf -- it just becomes smaller and burns more intensely with the dedicated and skilled players keeping up the fight. Mod is not ded -- it just transitions to a new phase of life.
