[Video] Few duels (EvilOne vs Poul)

[Poul2]

Hello!
We have some videos on this forum already, but unfortunatelly I see just left mouse button spam there
I'm old-school guy (attack->block->attack->block, like this game worked best in beta and early-warband stage). I hate spamming and I hate bounces, so I hate what developers did to this game (just make fights easier and easier, more random, less skill). I hate spears and I hate everything which don't require any skill to use, so I don't play Infantry often (in fact for over a year I haven't played Infantry at all).
Anyway, if I find other old-school guy, we can have great time duelling. One of those is my friend, EvilOne - he respects way the game worked in early stage. This means no spamming (it wasn't effective), no spears (they are too fast now), no heavy armors (because of lucky bounces) and other strange things - just pure fight. Unfortunatelly, these days it's easier to fight with skilled old-school guy than fully armored spammer with fast weapon.
I hope you will enjoy this video, I just love this kind of action:

Yeah, it's nice to fight against you, but only if I have good day ;P
Today it was good day for me, normally EvilOne is better than I am, today it was pretty even.

So, to make use of this day, we had few more fights later on:

hey what server are you guys on? would love to battle you (already battled evilone) my in game name is Barabe_Pillage 

 

[Poul2]

Recently on Barabe Duel Server, earlier on Westre's Duel Server (but right now it's on fastest combat speed, so I don't play there atm).
Invader is changing his nick every few days, so it's hard to find him in game, because you just never knows who you fighting with ;P
EvilOne isn't Evil_One - second one is faker. We (me and real EvilOne) had a break for around 2 weeks, but we are playing now again.

cheers

I'm truly sorry for that, I admit, I am changing nicknames from time to time but I got my reasons for that, believe me. I like to keep my privacy without anyone "asking for my steamname, why I haven't joined a clan yet, I'm getting repeatedly votekicks against me, guys who's trolling against me and even some guys who's getting disappointed at me when I'm doing something bad" (I'm sure things like these have happened you you guys too, atleast I know Poul you've been claimed for cheating several times as well and maybe you're better at handeling stuff like that then me)

I'm pretty bad at ignoring messages directed to me that different players are writing. This kinda gains a pressure on me everytime I join a server with the name "Swedish_lnvader" and seriously, I can't take that. I just want to play this game for fun guys, I've never asked to be known as good or as a cheater in some cases.. :'(. I still love to chat and play with you two though, Poul and Perverz =).

Just use New_Player.

Invader - I understand this, that's what I suspected all the time.
I don't really care about what random people thinks about me. It's their opinion and it doesn't really matter to me.
Vote kicks are rude, but same time they are sometimes funny - especially when you kill someone and you see kick vote straight away. People started vote kick against me like 100 times but just 2 votes (from what I remember) were accepted, so it's not really a problem for me.
Accusing me of cheating is normal right now. Recently I agree with every accusation instead of disagree, so people get confused and drop this topic or make fun from it. That's especially funny, after a break I have a problem with short-range shooting. I miss shots from 5-10 meters quite often now, so I guess my hack don't work with short-ranged targets.
Everyone has bad days or bad rounds sometimes. I don't cry to have 1:4 stats, I don't really feel any pressure here. I'm just a guy, trying to do best, sometimes i'm lucky, sometimes not. I know many people rejoins server to reset their stats, when they have negative ratio - it's ridiculous for me. Maybe I think this way because of my age ?
EvilOne helps me a lot here too. We are using TeamSpeak all the time. Even if I die, I still can help him and tell where enemies are and what's best way to get them. So almost always I just don't have a time to get angry or disappointed.

yess Ok Thank For you SoMuch info!

Hey Guyz ! .... Btw Poul nice duels Love the vid.

 

[DefenderoftheCrown]

I just want to say...you guys are really good.  I have tried fighting the AI with auto block disabled and I can never get the hang of it.  Actually, I get my butt kicked.  I have every other setting on normal or hard, except for the blocking.  Thanks for the video! 

 

[Poul2]

For the start it's not easy, but in my case, it's all about experience.
I never really duelled a lot. I'm playing this game since Warband beta (early February 2010), so it's really hard not to learn blocking after 1.5 year of playing.
Another thing is, most people just refuse to learn blocking. I mean if you won't try, you won't learn it for sure. This can be boring and annoying, but sooner or later you will find this easier and easier.
And thats the best about this game. It can have many problems, unbalanced things etc, but it's the best fighting system I ever saw. 4 attacks, 4 blocks. Simple, but amazing. I just love to hear that metal-metal sword sound, when you block correctly.
So imo if you want to learn blocking, just play with it as much as you can. You won't see results after few days, but after few weeks or months you will be better and better, i'm sure of that.
My friend (not EvilOne, the other one - he is not playing WFAS currently) learned blocking technique after around 2 weeks. He was duelling against me and EvilOne few hours every day, he can now block simple hits quite well. You just need to observe opponent carefully, it's not that hard.
When I fight against someone I don't know, it's harder, because I don't know what to expect from him. I need to fight a bit differently against spammer (can't make feints) and so on. But those are just details, simple blocks aren't really hard to learn.

Poul did you join Barabe?

 

[Poul2]

Poul did you join Barabe?

No, i didn't. I think clans are useless in this game anyway. They would be great if the game looks like cRPG (more like single player - map with castles, villages and cities).
But it don't, so clan means nothing.

I just registered on your site, no one said I can't do that .

[Alexandre]

First our website is garbadge i will make another so poul don't bother ) .
Second well maybe clans are useless but u can have in them fun more then playing by ur self even when u have friends. u can have Clan wars , Tournement , events ,Chating **** like that.
But ur opinion.
