Some opinions about multyplayer

[RoBo_CoP]

You don't even know what a scrim is and you tell me to spectate a public server... As i said, you don't have a ****ing clue.

 

[Mr.X]

In that case, maybe you're right, but however you can't hit someone thrue a standing shield, as you first stated.

Thats what I said the first time. Idiot.

Of course it can be done, but it's not worth the risk, and most of the people that uses shield uses it because they can't manual block, so don't say it happens "often". When you say "often" it should be like every 15 hits at least.

Not worth the risk because you suck at timing? Hok, can't argue with that.
Beside, the risk/reward ratio thingy is already being discussed in some other thread. Not the issue here.
Also, thanks for the arbitrary "15" number. I'll be sure to use that as the benchmark when I analyze public siege games.
And most people do not use shields because they can't block, they use it because they can't block arrows. But of course, that's silly. You're the master of game mechanics here. Why don't you teach us all how to block arrows with your greatsword.

Feinting with shield happens sometimes, but not chambering. Maybe some good player do it once a round. That's still not often. If he did it on every second victim or something, THEN it would be "often". Not when it's done every 50,100 swings.

Guess what love, I do it, several times in a round if I can. So do several good infantry players in the US. Mok, uni, paxman, juvenile, max, mad dawg, marnid (and he's not even an infantry player) to name a few off the top of my head.

RoBo, don't even start. First off, i'm in a clan. I got no idea what "Scrims" is. I do know hwo to chamber and how to fight. But you should read the top of my post.

"Scrims" is competitive play between 2 clans.

Siege is the most populated servers (about 120 at wolfpack,60zhg,30 Game X). The battle servers only got one at that level.

Im not talking bull****. Take every shielder at a battle server that can do decent manual. Now ask them to chamber your attack. 1/3 will be able to. And then put them in a 5vs5 situation. Everyone got a shield. And now count how many people will care to chamber in atleast half as much as they feint. It won't be a pretty result.

Those are random scrubs that barely can play, let alone block, let alone chamber

As it happens, the 5vs5 tourney is happening. Go watch the matches there. Plenty o' chambers. Ofcourse you don't chamber every so many hits, you use it unpredictably >.>

Great. Now take the high level infantry players in the NA, put them all in a battle server, and turn off ranged. The result won't be pretty, but there will be chamber blocks.


And if I recall correctly, you originally argued that feinting with a shield doesn't even count as feinting because it's so low level.

@Golradir. Take up the good fight, sir. I have to go read a school book. I'll be back in 500 pages

 

[Armie_knock]

Robo, English is not my native language, so no i don't know what every damn word means. And if your base your arguments on "scrim" battles , then guess what. The majority of the players aren't in a clan.

When you fight and are outnumbered (which often is the case at battle) most don't whish to risk their life only to get 1 hit at the enemy.

And even if you do several chambers with a shield each ROUND (which i still doubt) you're 1 player. The rest 2,3k of the community?

 

[Armie_knock]

The scubs that can not fight are the majority of the player base. And if the majority can't chamber - how can you say. it happens "often"?

D'you you really think he's talking about the majority? And dont double post

 

[Armie_knock]

If it happens often. -then yes, the majority ( or atleast a big part) got to to chamber with shields regulary. Which is not the case.

And sorry for the double, im on my phone.

 

[Mr.X]

No, it doesn't have to be the majority for it to happen often. The /majority/ of players don't play mutliplayer, and yet, servers are /often/ populated. See how that works?

The /majority/ of players do not wear headgear in NA servers, and yet certain players /often/ wear headgear.

The /majority/ of players do not know how to chamber, though chamber blocks  happen /often/ on public battle servers, not to mention organized competition.

The /majority/ of players do not get a positive k.d, but there are /often/ positive k.d's on the board.

The two words are not related in this sense.

 

[Armie_knock]

I don't know how it's at your side, but here i rarely get chambered, not to mention shielders.

Just because 2,3 people chamber with a shield 2,3 times per round, dsnt make it you see somethin often.Feinting happens often, not chambers.

 

[pro.fail]

lol

Hok, just keep arguing about the connotation of a word from a language that you clearly haven't mastered yet, judging by your spelling. That sounds like a good idea.

 

[Armie_knock]

My spelling is (was) pretty bad because i was typing on my phone.

I'm not sure eve nWHAT we are arguing about, but you're not right, at least if we argue about that chambers with shields happens regulary - because they do not.

 

[ThunderonCZ]

Lol, right word. Warband is really good balanced game(besides khergits). Two handers? Shoot them. Bad ping? Shoot the operator. And armors? M&B: Warband= player skill>gear.

 

[ramboTotalWar]

that thread was so funny 
really deserves a signature

actually I'd like to see again khergits or atleast tested in ENL because, as you may not know, HAs are not accurated while moving with new patches

 

[RoBo_CoP]

Still OP.

 

[Sir_DatTroll]

1. Ping does dictate a battle, but its only a matter of going to the right servers and not having bad interwebs.

2. I completely disagree, in the competitive scene a guy with a two hander is your regular eye candy for an archer.

3. Disagree as well, the shield is probably one of the most useful things an infantryman could have. Those archers are everywhere, im telling you.

Ok, this was amusing and good bed time story, time to sleep.
