Keep doing what you do.  Who cares if you're not a superhero?  If you kill one, hopefully it deflates their ego even by a little bit.

No offence, but is this an NA problem? The only players i see being insulted and harrassed al lot are HAs.

Nonetheless, +1

@odion: I have allways to force myself not trying to block ahead of time, but to wait until the oppenents attack is released. Then suddenly I block everything.

On a slightly related note...

I believe people call it manual blocking rather then parrying because you can just hold your sword on one side   forever and block infinite amount of hits to that side (Its a sword shield! :O). A parry oth more a one off deflection, though there sorta is a parrying animation for a stab. Chambers are more similar to parries+ripostes but at the same time not really. So yeah...using irl terms to describe the game actions isn't quite right, hence made up stuff.

I guess if you are allways using the situation at your advantage, fine tuning your char, and getting tons of kills by doing "dumb" and easy stuff, many elite players will expect you to add a little danger for yourself and make things more spicy. I will usually rage at someone using EZ mode tactics for too long, as it is not fair. If everyone was continuously exploiting everything they could to win every round, the overall atmosphere and sympathy among the community would suffer greatly.

That is how I perceive fun for "elite players". If you score kills too easily by using unfair tactics, then add something spicy to have fun. Sadly some people are so much rageing for their deaths they enjoy killing people by unfair means all day long.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHA
sorry
that is really funny if it is true.
Also, I have declared myself #1 NA hybrid thrower
Formerly known as Marathon.
As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

No, its more simple. Back in Warband Beta everyone came from playing Single player M&B and most people played of course with autoblock. Only in MP it seemed much cooler (and more skill-rewarding) to play with manual block enabled and it got standard. (are their any autoblock serves these days?). so everyone calls it manual blocking.

wow, I defenitely spend too much time with this game, I even try to etymological explain therms. next entry could be: "chamber"

No. I'm clanless, and I don't expect clans to be fighting over a guy that admittedly can't parry (even left swings are a chore for me to execute). I did have a DoD member tell me that the GLB is their clan weapon, maybe that's why you asked.

Its absurd reach and damage (+bonus to shields) make it such a fun weapon for siege defense, but it might as well be a limp noodle once someone is in your face.
