Seems Mythic have at have last taken a right and proper standpoint on this with regard to Thid. They should now sort out the boosting of stats and caps from TOA stuff cos that is just as bad - probably worse infact.

To those that are pissed off and sad about losing their twinked RR2 alts - chill out:

Would far rather see them do something about people who exploit lack of collision detection and perform run-through's and straffing.

Oh wait... thats you aint it Thugs.

Strange why the ones that complain about moving etc are the ones that like to play overpowered classes innit. You would reduce the game to total ballocks. One against another with no skill being shown at all just the better equiped wins. Whooopy doo. Wot fun for all. Rookie why not join Mid and go out into Thid as an unbuffed SB and see how you get on old boy - or girl. You would have the shock of your life. After that spec your sb to my sbs spec and you will do even worse. Yet I attack and beat the bleeding toughest opponents. Now who in anyone's reckoning is the more skilled? :touch: .

What the game needs isn't stuff like TOA Buffing or sc but more of the need for skill to be used to win a fight. The game designers should look closely at this and build it into the game not make the game face to bloody face. No-one in their right mind would attempt to do that if out gunned - not in the game or in real life.

Still no excuse to strafe and run through people like a total wanker

Hehe you lot think I can't fight toe to toe but you will be brutally awakened if you met me face to face without me running through. I can hold my own against buffed infs - only the heavily twinked infs can out damage me face to face. They have to be TOA twinked for that. Rest of them are in big trouble and will probably die trying. Run-through is just one of my skills I can call on. Wot you lot got?

Top notch inf - face to face whilst unbuffed!

Combination of weapon swapping - potion popping (inf did so too) - keeping poison ticking = one of the best infs dead!

Eh I am amazingly good you have to face it! Best Thid player that has ever been in this game bar none! And not by a small margin too - by absolutely loads. If they took TOA away - buffs - I would be totally invincible by anyone. Only ones that would have a chance would be mercs but an unbuffed merc rarely causes me any trouble at all now.

Simply Not true tbh mate.

Destroyed you the first time i dueled you with my SB, by using hit and runs. Then Spanked you silly When i forced you to stand toe to toe with me by backpedling.

Then you beat me twice, by a sliver of life both times.

By the way, my blade doesn't have spare weapons, doesnt use pots, and doesnt have any charges etc, and i dont run through. oh... and she uses a 2hander, so is gimped vs duel wielders...

And its still 2 - 2.

So... Evidently, your not the best ever in thid.

Sure, you may be the best at running through and strafing and using pots... but your not the best SB ever in thid... by a long shot.

If you had actually let us duel starting in stealth... i would have droped you in 3 hits with a PA.

<shrug>

no doubt you will refute most of this... but hey ho. I think you need to take a step back TBH... your simply not as good as you think you are.

Ah. Yes you did beat me fair and square. Was a shock and I did post the result. But - and it is a big but - you knew I wouldn't use imbalance on you so you exploited the fact. Hit me and used imbalance to get distance between us so your monstrous 6 sec delay axe could have a chance to recover. You did beat me fair and square but I never do very well again sbs anyways for some reason. Always take a lot of damage off 2 handed sbs. Still when I used imbalance back on you to stop you running off - game over for you. You shouldn't have used such tactics in the first place. Infact I used to fight like that myself but I prefer to see if I can drop them without resorting to hit and run - especially in a duel. Still you played well but you will never kill stuff like I have in a million years. You will do well against other sbs but come unstuck against tons in the game. The stuff I kill would tear you a new arsehole. The reason I have a hard time against the likes of you is because of your massive damage and imbalance. I have to fight face to face and take the damage. Even so I took you out both times when using imbalance back on you. When you look at my sbs pathetic damage output compared to your sbs then it is really amazing. 3 hits from that big axe is enough to drop my sb.

I am by far the best sb that has ever been in Thid - I won't mention the fact I was so drunk in our duels I could barely make out the keyboard - oh hang on I just did. Told you in the game too come to think of it.

Thugs mate ... there are some things about you which I do applaude.
You run un-buffed. I cannot stress enough how much I respect that course of action.
You appear to have a non-toa'd toon.
You kill a toon and depending upon the difficulty you wil leave "easy" targets alone after a kill.

However .... and this is where we differ...
You have spec'd a toon to be melee orientated when most stealthers are spec'd to 1 hit casters with PA.
This means they are NOT melee spec'd. They are in fact CS spec'd. Which means they require a stealthed attack to perform the majority of their damge which as a fellow stealther it is unlikeyly they will acheive against you.
Most players in Thid are there for a bit of fun. They do NOT carry the reams of weapons and health pots which you do.
MOST players in Thid feel that exploiting run-though and straffing is poor form and they refuse to perform such actions. You do not.
Consider my main for example...
First toon I ever rolled on DAoC (which was during EU release) was a Mercinary. He was my first toon to level 50.
He was WELL before Mercs became popular. In fact I had real problems finding groups because he was concidered useless in groups.
But !!!
When I play him not in PvE he causes REAL damage because he is a positional fighter. His side positional hits have some of the highest DPS in the game.
In PvE I will exploit this and perform "straffing" and "run-through" actions. When my reactive parry attack comes off and I have the mob stunned I will swing around and use back or side styles.
But!!!
When my same Merc is playing in RvR I WILL NOT perform "run-thoughs" and "straffing" attacks.

You describe your actions as "skill".
I describe your actions as taking the easy route.

You are NOT King of Thid. You never will be in my opinion while you exploit a lack of collision detection.

So a king of a battle ground runs out armed with pots and resorts to strafing and run through?

You are all wrong. You bloody well dare to compare an sb to a sodding merc. Are you all there? An sb is like a soft doughie cake ready for eating by all and sundry when he runs unbuffed. A merc? Blimey one of the hardest if not the hardest alt to frequent Thid. You have a screw loose m8. Why not go out into Thid as an unbuffed non toa'd sb and see how you get on. I am not kidding you will be killed by everyone. Now how should such a player when he finds himself in that situation behave? Well he looks at ways to cope so at least he can play. I have taken it to the extreme admittedly and have looked at ways to survive from every aspect and combined them into my sbs fighting technique. I have looked at each and every reason for my loosing and have tried to come up with a solution. You are also wrong about a duel against an unstealthed stealther. They totally outdamage me whilst unstealthed. They don't have to resort to weapon swapping or anything else. Just stand there and hit me for much much more than I can hit back. How then do I kill these fighters? By combining lots of things to increase my damage output. When these guys fight me they are using just one button to perform garote - I am swapping weapons during the pillager - plunderer axe combo and also rearming when necessary with fresh poisoned weapons. Apart from the fact I try and avoid frontal fighting so all this shit has to be done whilst running around and refacing etc. Have you ever tried any of this? Have you tried to swap a weapon out of our bag for example so that you have to activate the mouse instead of the keys whilst performing other actions at the same time? I have to do all this to beat these people and all they have to do is press one sodding button. You and people like you just have no idea and never will.

I have.

I wasn't. In fact, I won a fair bit.

Perhaps some do. A lot don't, however. It doesn't take a lot of brainpower to use positionals and reactionaries.

Yes, I have. It doesn't take all that much to pull it off, certainly no genius-level feat. All you need is a certain sense of rhythm and timing.

If you think everyone but you is a one-button spamming monkey, you are sadly deluded. Sure, some probably are, but the sad part is this: you claim yourself you're being defeated by those very same supposed one-button spamming monkeys and have to think up strategies, tricks and exploits to defeat them. Think about it.

Really, your ranting and raving is starting to sound a bit tired and defensive. I can only hope it's because you're starting to realise how sad you sound to the rest of us.

would be interesting to see if thugs would cut it on a freeshard server where strafing is awarded with a ban. strafing is abusing end of discussion. it can only be used vs MoC(something even more stupid imo)

Who cares to be honest. Had me a lot of fun playing this game and have done extroardinarily well playing it. Should have stopped playing bloody ages ago.

But you will all realize when I have long gone that the way I played was exciting both for myself and my opponents - no one-shooting (f****** hell is that boring or wot?). When I fight I give my opponent a lot of leeway. The fights last a long time and it takes everything from me to kill anything in good gear and buffs. Will stop coming along to this forum soon I expect cos it sure is time to move on. Dunno why I keep ranting and raving on here anyways. Bad habit I think it is.

As for sometimes losing against one button spammers my sbs were meant to drop infs and that they do incredibly well. I am happy with my performances - more than. Infact no-one has ever pulled off my victories and no-one will ever will again wassa betting. I will keep my films going probably so that you can be reminded how to fight - or you want to learn how to fight.

Wot I need now is another struggle. Mastered the DAOC 'How to Beat' infs one so now I need another and it ain't gonna be wasting my bloody life on a computer game. My geetarr playing is coming along so fast peeps are astonished. Even guys that have been playing for years. They can't get over how I have only been playing for 11 months. Guy even knocked on my house door yesterday to remark about my playing - he could hear it from outside. Sos I gotta goal there now - to become a phenominal and one of the best guitarists - even at my age! Yup you set your mind to something and it is remarkable what you can achieve.

Thugs ... try reading my post again and if you wish you can counter the points I have made.
Dont just go off on another rant about how great you are.
When you do reply remember ... paragraphs are your friend.
