Tears, stop the blue font already!  :evil:

NO U

This is not blue anyways ;)
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I just retired today and I went on EU_5. Spawned late and saw one of my allies fighting a 2hander with a claymore (sigh, dickheads). Did my ninja-run up behind him and slashed him with my khyber knife. He died. Lvl 1, first round and a kill. Fuck yeah!
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

I got two kills my entire first gen(I respecced about 8 times in that timeframe as well, so about 10 million xp worth. For pros, yes I know respeccing resets kill counter. Yes it is sad enough that I never killed anyone before that either). I am now gen 14 and top the scoreboard at least once every 5 games. Patience is winner. Stick in there, find some good people to teach you how to play and go kick ass. (Have your teacher be someone of the class you want to play! I was taught by a shielder and a pikeman and now play hoplite as a result)

And then I killed you with my bastard sword.

I admit it, I felt mean.

Jarlek deserved it for being a killstealing noob.

1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

You killed my as I was running and typing "FUCK YEAH, LVL 1 KILL IN FIRST ROUND!", but it ended up being said in deadchat, so you didn't see it xD

I think a certain percentage of the market tax should go into a pot for new players and they get around 10k to buy equipment, maybe just after hitting lvl 15 or 20 or something like that.

You are dieing because you are a newbie and this game takes a fairly high amount of skill, it's not because you are low level. Many good players can post positive kill:death rations at lvl 10. As a newbie you have no sense of timing, awareness, footwork and other important combat techniques and tactics. while the guys you are up against are skilled gamers who have 1-2 years experience and knowledge of such things, and are drawing on these things to own you, not just raw power.
This is why Age of Conan's PvP drew me back - learning while everyone else had years of experience and full gear. There was no need to call him a newbie though.

And I repeat: levelling should be a lot faster until level 24 or so. Let beginners be competent (in terms of looms) fast enough and not after a year. The mod might be dead in a year (who knows?).

I don't like idea to give anyone any advatage i didn't get as bigginer.
That's as if our ancestors who didn't have the same civil rights we have now claimed we shouldn't have them because they didn't have them in their lifetime.

And I repeat: levelling should be a lot faster until level 24 or so.

There is a benefit to slower levelling. It gives new players a feel of how certain stats effect their builds. As new players often start throwing points into things without first reading the forums, imagine the horribly broken builds they will end up with if they quickly get points to throw into things. Levelling from 25-31 would be terribly painful for them.

At least with slower levelling, if they make a mistake it won't hurt them too much as they'll have more time to catch it. One errant point here or there isn't a major issue.

I WONDER WHY THAT SOUNDS TERRIBLY FAMILIAR?
