I was just being sarcastic, too, so you're actually the one who failed on sarcasm detection.

Got em.

Complete fail on Sarcasm detection...

Common Sense says, 'Being good at a game doesn't automatically grant you the right to be pretentious and presumptuous.'

You just look silly. Honestly, this is such a small thing, such a trivial matter, yet you can't even admit it. It's horrible, really. And speaks volumes indeed.

I suggest you take a good look at the topic of this thread. Look at it, until it starts making sense.

I think you need to relax and lighten up a bit, I was having a bit of a joking happy fun time and you need to turn it into a Dr. Phil life lesson moment. I suggest you read my responses to the topic and the general agreement from them and THEN post.

Your responses are exactly what made me to post here. Everything you've posted in this thread was just proving my point, and I ultimately decided to voice my 'concerns'. I was pretty convinced, too, as I have a nasty habit of usually not bothering. Take subjectivity into account as well, so you can't argue that I was not relevant.

And perhaps the overall tone of my post wasn't conveying that most expressively, though I surely think that there are certain hints indicating that, but I wasn't particularly foaming at the mouth and cursing left and right when I was writing my thoughts. In any case, your solicitude towards my emotional health is very welcome.

Also, you have quite a strange idea of fun.

I'm glad you have such a moral and philosophical high ground that you feel obliged to rescue me from my obviously incorrect and wrong approaches on the subject. Perhaps you should spare me and write a book?

Rescue? God, no. Life will inevitably teach you, though I'm secretly hoping it will do it the hard way. I'm just glad that you're so eager to display you character here for everyone to see and ridicule.

However, will you chill with the elitism, please?

He gets his lulz from reading responses like this!

There's nothing wrong with just going whack-whack-whack, especially on siege.

I do everything i can to maximise my opportunities to do it.

It's the most efficient way to kill, you're usually just standing in one place so are placing no-one in your team in danger and you're covering one position well.

Game's can be frustrating, especially after you've played for so long on a particular day or a series of things happen that annoy you.

Also some people are just ass-hats in that way.

Im definately a rager but i don't do it as much as i used to and I dont type anything at all now.

[Phew]

There are a lot of guides there if you want to improve a bit on blocking, my advice is to go to nditions server (native) to play against bots, of if you think that's not needed, a bit of duel servers.

Oh, I've spent hours trying to parry the bots also. With combat speed and difficulty maxed, I can't parry 1h bots more than 50% of the time.  I'm not sure I'm capable of improving this skill.

What I HAVE gotten better at is anticipation. I've noticed that at least 75% of the time, if someone parries my right swing, they will respond with a right swing of their own.  Wo if my right swing is parried, I now instinctively parry left. But I'm still not responding to what they are actually doing, just making an educated guess based on probability. Bots seem to be random in their swing selection, so they are harder to parry than average players.

the bots are pro pro pro on the hardest settings

it's like trying to duel the special bots some duel servers have

all you need to do is be good enough to get a positive k:d on a duel server (without cheating)

And I honestly don't care about manners because it's a subjective belief system that only corresponds to you, and when someone else does something "wrong" that you were brought up to take offense to yet they weren't, they're somehow in the wrong and you're in the right. Yet, to them, they did nothing wrong as you're attempting to condemn them and convert them to your feelings of why they are.

Obviously that's a rather dramatic approach, but the point is I'm not going to march to someone else's drum of what they deem "appropriate," I'm an adult capable of making those decisions myself, and shouldn't need to be lorded over by a bunch of other people who's e-feelings get hurt because someone came along and said something that made their little feelings hurt.

Don't get me wrong, I usually am pleasant and nice with people in the hope of them returning it as I think a lot of people prefer that but I can also easily and handily handle a situation where someone is being unpleasant as well. Enforcing "manners" is just, basically, enforcing an opinion with an iron fist and I can't agree with that.

This is the same logical argument I use to justify and defend date-raping pre-teens.  +1 to you broskeeter.

The issue, if you actually read the thread, that I have with players like you is that you take the easy way out and don't care to really improve or strive at all.

You simply circumvent the system that requires the most skill and take the easy path with no intent to risk or challenge yourself at all (running away from melee at all opportunities).

I think the attitude people have a problem with is in the quote above.  Who's to say that someone who plays x build (archer in this case) is taking some easy way out/ isn't taking a style that takes skill?  It's this arbitrary notion of "skill" being narrowly defined to dueling skill in this case.

I think there are truly some major things "good/elite" players need to have regardless of game, and that's awareness, adaptation, and then execution.  If someone isn't good at one aspect of the game yet great in another, why should you be the one to say they are taking an easy path or aren't as skilled as you?

[Templar_Ratigan]

I say play the way you want, to me it's all about experimenting with whatever build you wish to use. The only thing I would ever ask of people is that they remember that just because you have great equipment and awesome armour, doesnt necessarily mean that what you do is particularly skilled.

The good players shine through regardless of what they use.

[Thucydides]

Phew, i've fought you and you're pretty annoying with that Bardiche. But you aren't that hard to kill, so i dunno why people rage on you for using that weapon. They must be pretty bad.
