Duel trainers

Would it be possible to provide damage dealt/ speed bonus for these bots? That would be great.  Timing for chambers is slightly different online, so it would be convenient.

I'm not the best player but I enjoy helping new players on the duel server get a grasp for the game.  It's really only coincidental that a few of them end up in my clan, honestly.  Teaching them the basics of how to block general consists of setting up a pattern of swings and having them block it until they die several times.  You start with slow swings and eventually they'll have the grasp and be blocking full speed swings.

If only more people did this, I feel like part of the reason this community is failing to grow is the lack of friendly players to help out any new people, as it is a relatively difficult game concept to understand and when I started playing I had no guidance at all.  I taught myself the ropes for the longest time until Allers and MAD KING JOSEPH came along to give me a hand (of course by then I had been playing for quite a few months).

To sum it all up, the community can't grow because everyone is butt-hurt angry mad bad nerds who refuse to help new players and instead call them names and ruin the general opinion of the mod for people who don't play the game.

So I was playing on Eu 3 today and agreed on helping two cRPG noobies who, both of them had gotten the game this very week, and decided to jump onto cRPG from the very start of their cRPG carreer. I tried to do some block training with them, but sadly I had to go. So the thought struck my mind, what about adding 'Trainer bots' to the duel servers, like they've done on Ndation? It could be really useful to train your block on a bot, using your cRPG stats instead of fighting actual players who constantly (mostly ) spams feint making it hard for new players to learn blocking. Could also be a nice way for veterans to train chambers. Perhaps adding bots with different kinds of weapons, and make it so that you can't kill them, and they can't kill you, just like the Ndation training bots.

Any extra suggestions?

Well yeah this could work for the most basic stuff, so its great for blocking/attacking. If they also had this opportunity, before they got trained by you, u could teach em more complicated stuff, which would help alot more.

I would love to see a lag bot that has more jerky movements and will simulate a skilled player on the wrong server.

It didn't. The previous threads about this is still somewhere in the depths of the forum.

Maybe, Mr. NuberT, it is because you are a nub?

This could be a fantastic addition, no more will new players become frustrated with cRPG being too hard and no longer will people have indefinite opinions; settle who does more damage on the bots!

Sorry if these have been said but I didn't have enough time to read the posts. 

I think these could make worthy additions
Various difficulties of bots with differing items
Ranged targets
Bots with different strategies (classifications of bots; heavy cavalry, light archer etc.); eg. moving bots, feinting bots, blocking, chambering?, shield users, ranged users, cavalry, differing armors
Reports on damage dealt with damage, speed bonus, armor reduction, possibly state possible damage that could have been dealt through random elements (if applicable, sorry but I know very little about how damage is calculated to be honest haha)
Bots that do no damage nor deal damage
Ability to cancel duel at any time
I know this one will probably be frowned upon but maybe grant a gold/xp gain for combat against bots? Being an Australian I get very frustrated at having to play on an NA server to gain gold/xp due to the fact that people are very often simply not on cRPG!
Possibly have a few basic "classes" that could be loaded to test different builds quickly, with the ability to check their stats and items (possibly like the native class selection and the cRPG "c" key stat menu?)
Possibly custom appearance for bots to take your anger out on a bot-version of someone ;)

Good idea, even better than playing in the SP training just due to simple reason: Getting used to your ping if you're a newbiew and that's an important thing so epic idea koniu>>>>

[Pejlaen]

i love beating up the trainer untill he is all red

Sadly that's how I pre-maturely ended my footballcareer.

Great idea, +1.

[Osiris]

id love to see the rage from some of the players when they cant beat the champion

[IR_Kuoin]

So nothing have happened, this is kind of a revival bump because I still think it would be a good idea to implement this too the duel server.

Good idea. +1
