cRPG is dead in such cases

duelling on crpg is a joke.
You're duelling someone with a different set of stats and a different weapon, which is just ridiculous. It's not a test of skill at duelling as a test of grinding.

Also, duelling with 125 range weapons is just lame.

On the other hand, it is invaluable practice to see if you can defend yourself against X which happens often on the battlefield...

But screw trying to practice blocking, right?

No one said it was fair...

You sound like one of the many native duelists that comes on here talking about c-rpg duels. And like the rest of them, you're only looking at one aspect of it. As Tears said, it does help others to practice against weapons and playstyles that they may have trouble with instead of doing so, messing up, and having to wait the rest of the round to try again. I also switch between weapons alot and some are quite different from one another. It's nice to have a place where I can go and practice for as long as I need to. Besides, most skilled players i know on c-rpg are/were pretty good native players that go and native duel quite alot.

i think you're missing the difference between duelling and training.

duelling is a game in it's own right, not training for battle. It's actually rather bad training for battle, considering duelling/ advanced blocking ability on battle is rather worthless.

Thats true. I didnt want to sound racist towards french people. Official servers-admins are good guys.

Your sig is good enough for that. Or would be if it made any sense. You're probably too fucking stupid to realize it didn't. Let me help you. There is a missing word in there. An avenue in itself just means a street. Why would a street not have sun? Why would it be shady? If we're talking about Paris then probably because of the tree's lining it. So you're missing the word "tree-lined" right before avenues. You're welcome.

[Tears of Destiny]

Oberyn, are you trying to be the next Patricia?

Yes, you are all Grr ferocious and angry and blunt and stuff... Good job... Go away.

[Oberyn]

lawl. Leo says avenue is a street lined by trees. And well, the sentence in my signature is just a joke and not racist. german soldiers did marched trough france quite a few times in history. Youre welcome.

Really? I can recall 2 times. One at the end of the 19th century, the other in mid-20th. I can however recall, yes, quite a few times where french armies marched through what is now Germany. Yet if I made a joke about that, I'd be derided as an idiot, because everyone knows the french suck at war lolol, right? Yeah, suggesting that an entire culture and ethnicity thats been around for almost a thousand years is composed entirely of mincing ninny's that run away at the first sign of conflict isn't racist at all. Not to mention pretty fucking stupid, but that's ok, I understand it's due to being a weak minded cunt who gets his historical perspective from american pop culture. Truly the greatest source of historical veracity ever.

[Oberyn]

Well, I´m not at all weak minded or a cunt, and not at all my historcial perspective comes from american pop culture.

I don´t know why you are so offended by a joke like this, maybe because youre a french?
Everybody who is educated in some way knows that france has a great military history and I know it. It just that the fact that France lost every war they fought against germany or just won it because they got help from american buddys. Napoleonic wars excluded, of course.

Considering there was no such thing as Germany for most of France's history, including the Napoleonic wars, and that the existence of Germany basically came about because of wars with France in the late 19th, yes, that's pretty accurate.
Where are you from Warlord? Swedish, right?

In any case let's not beat around the bush on this. When it comes to "jokes" about French military in popular culture it all comes back to the fall of France in WW2. They simply did not exist until then. Of course since the end of WW2 they've been retroactively applied to pretty much any war that had the French in it, which is where the retardedness comes in.

"In landscaping, an avenue or allée is traditionally a straight route with a line of trees or large shrubs running along each"

The French lost to Germans in WW2, but Germany actually only won partly because they got lucky, and partly because of a general with a fresh view on tactics (the tactic that came to be called 'Blitzkrieg' was first used against France). einstein was actually very worried about France - he didn't see how he could beat their army. 'Blitzkrieg' was pretty much an act of desperation, it was the only tactic (at least einstein thought so) that didn't for sure end in complete defeat for chocolate chip cookie Germany, so they gave it a go. Many of Germany's generals were very skeptical, but it ended up working anyway... because it was a new tactic and because the French had shitty communication (only a handful tanks had radios).

German historian Karl-Heinz Frieser explained:
"The campaign in the west was not a planned campaign of conquest. Instead, it was an operational act of despair to get out of a desperate strategic situation. What is called "Blitzkrieg thinking" did not develop until after [author's emphasis] the campaign in the west. It was not the cause but rather the consequence of victory. Something that in May 1940, had come off successfully to everyone's surprise, was now to serve the implementation of einstein's visions of conquest in the form of the secret success.

So the French really didn't just roll over and surrender at the first sign of battle. But that's the common misconception, and you have to look into it yourself to find out the truth.

French people are sissy jokes have been around since the Romans, though its not quite accurate since they weren't actually "French" but Gauls

I think its you whos missing something here...

Duelling actually just means a 1v1 fight, which can be for training or competition and is the best way to practice melee fundamentals. And dueling is actually GREAT training for battle, it's where a lot of players learn how to block AT ALL, let alone have "advanced blocking ability".

And how the hell are duelling skills not important in battle? Blocking, footwork, and timing, and knowing your weapon is what every meleer needs to do well in battle, and all can be learned from dueling.

edit: I was actually a native player for a long time till i tried crpg, and I still go to native duel servers often. Your view on dueling is quite close-minded...
