New Patch could be interesting 1.54E

I think we may see the advent of hibernian guild tournaments with the new dueling feature in the 1.54E.

Of course we probably won't get it here for another 6months.
Anyone know if we'll get shrouded Isle at the same time as the states? it seems unlikely to me especially as I understand that all of the previous patches will be included with it.

Wow, looks cool.

I can find out how gimped BM's are!!!

Bring on the hero's, I can take you all with my uber blades and super strength armour... ermmm

I think I need to get a grip.

=====================================

- Sprint can now be bound to a key in the keyboard configuration.

- You can no longer turn your figure when stunned or mezzed. This will allow melee characters the chance to use position styles against stunned/mezzed enemies.

- When you use a hot-key to ready a one-handed weapon, you will now automatically equip your shield if you have one readied.


=====================================

this i'm happy with, the following however is bs:

=====================================

- After a duel, if you are low on hits and are killed by a monster or enemy player, you take a "real" PvE death. Be careful where you duel.

=====================================

i mean, wtf??! why the hell should rvr players be able to give you an xp death?! if you duel in rvr zones for whatever reason that shoudlnt mean anything different about xp deaths than if you were dueling in home zones, but oh noooooo, if an enemy realmer just waits till your both on low health they just aoe the both of you and it's xp deaths all round, because the duels are interuptable just by hitting them... bit pointless to my mind.

besides, what we REALLY need, is a non realmpoint giving duel system where you can also duel enemy realmers, not some half assed inrealm one where you get xp deaths for your troubles...

oh well, a step in the right direction though perhaps, let's just hope they take it further and finish the dueling thing

Shame on you Karl!!!

After all this time you should appreciate your skills
Don't forget scale is getting a bit more washed out, RF and slash are in baby
try duelling in rvr if u can m8, that's when you find out that you specced your skills well and own those lvl 50 2-h blunt wielding skalds (and zerkers and thanes and...)

You need a lift on bms? Go to taliwall with talivar sometime and see how cool it is
I'm yet to get that good (no ip means I have to be careful whom I duel but I have got lucky once or twice) but it's all ras', soon it'll be culawall although that does sound shit, so maybe I'll let him keep it...

Why duel in a RvR area when its only against your realm mates ? That would be as stupid as XP'ing in the frontier and then complaining about enemy realm players ganking you !

Agreed however that there should be a non-RP duel system to fight between realms if you so wish.

there's a very simple reason, it goes like this:

random lvl 45 xp power gamer goes on his first trip to emain after the powergaming tunnel of hell that was his life up until lvl 45...

he then get's to amg, seeing the hibby hoard he decides to try and take command, seeing one grey con highlander on the other side of amg he then does the following:

Power gamer: /y CHARGE!!!!1 AFTER THAT HIGHLANDER N00B!

then the few people with sense (thankfully this is getting to be a larger number these days ) decide to form a /cg to decide upon what to do with this git who just pulled half of the lvl 40+ hibby realm into the tk guards

sensible guy 1: /c let's luer him into aggro.

sensible guy 2: /c no, he knows how people do that, he wont fall for it...

sensible guy 3: /c i have an idea

sensible guy 3: /y hey! i challange you to a duel mr power gamer!

Power gamer: /y W000000000T!!!11 1M g00N4 K33331 j00!1

power gamer get's his arse kicked by the more experianced rvr player

sensible guys, all: /s yay, behold, no more hibs are dying!

see, there are reasons
