[Colgate 2.0]

nice keyboard turning

[magician]

aye indeed very good keyboard maneuvers

you move like an olympic champion in game

[Zlain]

Why do all the GM events or sim repops and whatnot all occur when only neckbeards are left on the server =(

Get a job whores!

[DRAGONBAIT]

i cant be as skilled as faceoff jousting with that keyboard movement


edit : awfull to watch tbh, couldnt see more of that guy jousting and showing his back all the time to that tstaff monk, noone tells him to use mouse if hes gonna show up for jousting duels? mustve been fun anyway but use mouse man, and dont turn ur back that much. i dont know who won still

[Ragnaros]

Looks like He is the superior jouster.
P.S. Banksy sucks hehe

I only use my mouse to strafe, pretty sure most people use WASD to joust. Faceoff also won every fight and the free for all. One of the best on the box, you also cant really criticize someones movement patterns on a game that can be severely affected by different latencys people have to do different things to adjust.

[Tasslehofp99]

last battle was close, nicely done

[DRAGONBAIT]

well from my noob point of view, that monk was bad, or had a high ping, and the winner wasnt good either, he was giving his back to a tstaff monk when he was doing that backwards thing to get a hit on the monk, u cant dodge if ure not facin ur oponent so? i also used WASD back on live but ive played a lot of mmorpgs since then and u cant compete if u dont use mouse movement and hit bound keys for spells and skills, something accesible to ur fingers. im not a good jouster maybe cos im at 135ping or just cos im bad, but keyboard is nowhere near to be competitive, im sure about that. 40 - 45 even 50 weapon delays with an haste item, u cant take advantage of the atk spd if u turn around like that, ill be on ur face hiting Q when u done the turn, and if u do that moving back thin this guy does u wont be able to dodge the hit so...maybe im just bad, im not saying im right here since i never really jousted on my warrior but its how i see it honestly, so obvious. or someone tell me im dumb and explain to me.

[miraclegrow2]

did not watch

[lite]

As the box's authority on all things melee, I approve of Vapo's skills and evn more of his Camera angle :P

[Ragnaros]

How would you even joust with your mouse im confused, and the back thing He did was called juking...and it clearly worked. This is a good example of how everyone should joust, consistently landing hits while being unpredictable

[B4EQWASCOOL]

Shorten your psychosis-induced rant and I'll help. Not sure what you're asking, though.

[Zlain]

Wow some neckbeards got rustled with the quick.

[DRAGONBAIT]

well theres no discussion honestly...ping issues aside wich are a handicap. i guess most casters here wont use mouse movement either since melees dont? tell me how can u play ranges and spell cast times wich are 0.xxx seconds away one from each other if ure clicking on spells or moving with the keyboard keys, its just not fast enough to be competitive. now i understand why u all blame the gear here...

[DRAGONBAIT]

How would you even joust with your mouse im confused, and the back thing He did was called juking...and it clearly worked. This is a good example of how everyone should joust, consistently landing hits while being unpredictable

ive already said im not able to be that skillled with keyboard movement, but i can move MUCH more fliud than him with the mouse movement, and pressing a hotkey for auttoattack. MUCH more fluid. be on ur ass to hit autoatack again when cooldown its over and take advt of delay or just kite or feign. then if u can do what lite does with his camera ure done i guess, thats something i would never be able to, but keyboard movement? really?

about the juking thing, really, ure a rogue whats ur ping? what do u think when ure jousting somene and he does that movement? cos ure gettin a free backstab man

PD : ragnaros somewhere i think i saw u saying that rogue is an AIM game, u have to aim, u ever played a shooter? how can u aim with a keyboard? i dont understand anything lol

[Ragnaros]

Theres a big difference between clicking spells rather then binding them compared to jousting with your keyboard lol. If you dont use your keyboard to joust then you are doing it wrong. But I use my mouse to strafe, yes.Again I don't see how using a mouse to move has anything to do with hitting autoattack lol

[B4EQWASCOOL]

W forward
A strafe left
D strafe right
Mouse look to turn
Bind your spells/abilities

[ElemtalRZ]

Pretty sure that UI isn't classic

[Ragnaros]

W forward
A strafe left
D strafe right
Mouse look to turn
Bind your spells/abilities

Yup this basically..I use mouse to turn,and strafe I,also use s to move backwards

[TheBiznessTZ]

Haven't even watched the videos and I'm already cringing from all these posts. I'm scared to watch them.

[DRAGONBAIT]

Yup this basically..I use mouse to turn,and strafe I,also use s to move backwards

but thats what im saying, and not what the guy in the video was doing ..im cofused now? lol

[B4EQWASCOOL]

I do not backpeddle ever. It's snared movement, always faster to mouselook turn around and run forward.

You've had p good success here so I guess it's not a huge deal?

Just seems silly to move (willingly) at 50% snared speed backwards.

[B4EQWASCOOL]

but thats what im saying, and not what the guy in the video was doing ..im cofused now? lol

The guy in the video is keyboard turning. Left, right arrow key by default. Really inefficient.

it's mostly for baiting out someones auto attack

[B4EQWASCOOL]

it's mostly for baiting out someones auto attack

Nothing wrong with a feint. You can do it without moving 50% slower is all I'm saying.

I typically mix in some strafing for my feint.

[DRAGONBAIT]

Just seems silly to move (willingly) at 50% snared speed backwards.

it takes me less than 0.1 seconds to turn around and hit auttoattack honestly. Only thing i can think off is ping issues etc, me with 135 ping cannot turn in 0.1 seconds and hit, cos ping wont allow me, but someone on 50 ping should be able.

Pretty sure most people back pedal in 1v1 jousting to juke when going in for a,round

[DRAGONBAIT]

well it seemed to me that he just wanted to let the monk get infront so he could find the hitbox. nothing to do with a real feint there tbh

[DRAGONBAIT]

then most people is bad at this game? . its something ive already know but im speaking with supposedly the best pvpers on the box?

[TheBiznessTZ]

I hanve't watched the videos yet, so i can't really say much to what happened in those.

[Jeni]

Both of those fights were awesome, still trying to figure out how Agatha couldn't land a hit while Faceoff was standing still.

WTB more pvp videos on R99.

[iruinedyourday]

what did the winner of the lvl 1 brawl get as a prize?

[Ragnaros]

then most people is bad at this game? . its something ive already know but im speaking with supposedly the best pvpers on the box?

Yep if you dont feint or juke while jousting you are going to just get murdered by someone who does, makes you less predictable. There is nothing wrong with using movement keys, I personally use D and A to strafe while holding down my mouse button.. Mouse direction to guide turns and W, S, for forward and backwards.
Looks like Vapo has an unpredictable jousting pattern that is clearly efficient because he crushed it in these fights and they had trouble hitting him.

[B4EQWASCOOL]

Typical empire worried about loot.

[iruinedyourday]

Typical empire worried about loot.

fwiw there are no empire members 'worried' about loot.

[magician]

consistently

yikes think there was a minute or two where not a single hit was made hehe

i think ure not understanding me. You do it right then, but this vapo guy is turning around with A and D. and thats my whole point man, u can be less predictable with a fluid movement patern, wich u get whith mouse movement.

edit : u cant count first fight, that was no fight. On second fight monk seemed up on his ass but unable to land, i guess he had a high ping, while vapo had 50. vapos movement was so predictable honestly, he was just kitting the monk, showing his back and im not sure what was the monk doing, thats why i said or bad or high ping. anyway, just pointing it out. no discussion honestly

[Ragnaros]

he literally beat a t staff monk without harm touch while getting proc'd 3 times
impressive as fuck, just watched the video again and he raped rabid aka flip and landed more hits because of his unique way of jousting
why am I arguing with some anon about melee tactics again?

[DRAGONBAIT]

first everyone pvped like that, now its a unique way. Hes skilled, i bet hes been jousting like that for 10 years, its so 99ish.


i understand vapo is ur friend. thanks for the chat anyway, think about what was pointed out if u want, cya around

[Ragnaros]

well video don't lie he smashed 2 empire players and has what..like a 15.0 ratio while actively seeking pvp against the odds
kid is good

[krazyGlue]

what did faceoff win?

[DRAGONBAIT]

what did faceoff win?

i stoped watching @ mid fight after he turned his back for like 3 or 4 consecutive joust rounds. it hurted my eyes too much to see those turn arounds

[DRAGONBAIT]

well video don't lie he smashed 2 empire players and has what..like a 15.0 ratio while actively seeking pvp against the odds

if he used mouse movement to joust and got used to it i bet he would be much better.

i will repeat this, im skilled and competitive and im nowhere near to be as skilled as this guy is with a keyboard, thats 10 years of prac or dude has talent. if its the second he swaps to mouse he will become a asdjas beast.

[Kergan]

my eyes are hurted reading your posts

[snufzaimoverlord]

Everything I saw was gross.

[DRAGONBAIT]

my eyes are hurted reading your posts

ok i can get over this kergan, whats wrong now? i have an english title via cambridge university, i think i can try and write perfectly normal so your eyes dont hurt, i can try if it is ok, but i dont think my gipsy writing is that bad honestly, maybe u ran out of arguments with me and thats it. im good anyway

i will pay attention to verbal tenses and wont use 'ed termination when theres a proper past tense to be used ok? forgive me kergan

[Drakaris]

Our disabled pal kermit the muppet (aka kergan) suffers from a severe case of Down's syndrome. No matter how you type, the fact that he has to read will hurt his brain.

Let us all show more understanding towards his plight.

[DRAGONBAIT]

its fine, im still laughin each time i read his post haha. funny

You use wasd to pvp? Best rogue on the soivah here.

yep ask gaping and chuck they aren't allowed to play when we in da same zone
p.s. 6844 Grannock 17 33 0.52 0 0.94

As a rogue its situational to backpedal, really easy to juke scrubs that are jousting with their keyboards and tag them on the back if you watch them come at you. Vs good melees you are correct.

[Jeni]

Man can we get a Faceoff vs Grannock 1v1 going so I can see how a PVP PRO does melee pvp?

Edit: Sorry obviously I meant in 4-5 months when Grannock has enough gear to feel confident to fight a Kunark geared Sk.

[SamwiseRed]

wait grannok actually plays here and is a rogue? lol how the fuck? is he retarded?

Kek, i think im at 25-3, didnt u die to a thunderdome, yesterday?

Feels goog to have a better pvp ratio than all of your toons. Maybe in another 400 yts against you, you will not suck?

[Colgate 2.0]

these videos are a great example of how not to joust, how good damage shield potions are, how horrible of a matchup rogue vs shadowknight is, and how bad tstaff is in a jousting scenario

So what's your excuse for not being there? It's not like you have any real commitments outside of your raid schedule and play more than Nizzar ;)

Hilarious, I will trash any rogue in Empire like ive continued to do, honestly Grannock I think Gyno might even be able to beat you in a rogue vs rogue. I am a proud holder of the #1 kills this season and I hardly pvp anymore, I don't really care about my ratio as sometimes I need to sacrifice a few deaths for my guild ( Example A: Yelinak Bind Rush). My skills speak for themselves (:
You have 23 kills this season? That's cute.

[Ragnaros]

tstaff is not made for melee v melee

When you get full duration procs and inner flame the target like Flipp did it definetly is...Faceoff didn't even have harmtouch l o l.

[iruinedyourday]

I have honestly never seen ragnaross do anything but die in any situation isnt him porting around with a group of his pals ganking people. But whatever lets him sleep at night.

[Ragnaros]

Im sure every one of my 200+ kills this season across my 60's has been EXACTLY that.
P.S. Here is iruinedyourday's character pvp statistics

yea becuse 200 kills come from level playing field pvp and not from spending every night you play this game porting around ganking people.

i have a job

so i chose not to stay up until 5 AM

[Ragnaros]

If we are being honest 80% of my kills are me going against the odds.
God im so fucking powerful.

tstaff in a joust should only be used when the target is fleeing or is in self-harmtouch range

Rag i just checked the leaderboard to see what noob in thunderdome scalped you. You really think anyone gets rustled by a guy who was coined by thunderde 4 times in the past 3 days???? Seriously dude, you are confirmed the worst tryhard on this box. Good thing ragnaros is out of range pf Magicite <Thunderdome> Cause this killing machine apparently owns you.

[iruinedyourday]

considering your KDR doesn't mean you are a good pvper I aint worried about mine.

[grannock]

Ragnaros, took 4 yt's in the past 3 days, from <Thunderdome>

i dont like this guy raiding norrath uncontested, nor i like him declining duels wearing that grandmaster tag but im starting to think he would wreck out 99% of this server. how many really good melees around out there at 60? ive always been competitive on any game i played, very. but theres always people much more dedicated and better from where ive learnt, r99 was no exception. wonderin how many out there cos this looks bad im really like...WOW after this post.

isnt vapo some 4 yeard old vet?

PD : kdr and yts means shit. get out there and fight guys so u will know whos better, and everyone stays in its place, nothing wrong with finding people who is better than you, its the only way to progress. if u pvp, dieing is something that will happen.

[Ragnaros]

Stop reading when he mentioned someone killing my portbot
too many people with negative kdrs talking in this thread

Rag is so good he needs a guild for his alts since he takes to many yt's to be allowed in <friends>.

[grannock]

Haha your portalbot... Watch out! Magicite is in zone.

[grannock]

Rag goes to kc to pvp, gets shit on by thunderdome, then comes to the forums to claim that its his portal bot and hes not trying.

What is June, your practice jousting bot? Cause that pvp record on a tstaff monk is pretty fucking bad.

I coined u on my portalbot, samwise. Didnt you quiy when good guys went belly up?

[grannock]

i love to link things. i link that someone with that mentality cant be good at pvp honestly. im on a positive kdr, most of my fights were pretty easy, 1v1 matchups against people underskilled, people who wasnt really into pvp, i dont think ive found more than 2 people who used cure pots. i got like 20 kills just for holding seafury island and i could have like 50 or more from missed yts, i stoped to kill thuderdomes and now i engage tmos in 1v2 situations or people who already won against me to see if i can kill them so i guess my kdr is goin down, does that mean im worse? i can bet u is the other way around. just pointing this out cos i see that some people here got things wrong.

[grannock]

Anyone who has died to thunderdome in the past week needs to get out of pvp threads.

[DRAGONBAIT]

i got yted by thunderdome, i dont see the point here. i could be td tagged playing around

[Ragnaros]

this guy grannock is insane/bad
no clue who he even is

[TheBiznessTZ]

Rag is very rustled right now. Someone buy the kid a masasge so he can relax.

[iruinedyourday]

Ive never seen someone so halfway decent at EQ have such low self esteem before.

[syztem]

wand charges + HT disc to kill a rogue, hybrid channeling. Honestly you should have saved them for someone else unless you were just angry and wanted to smash something to bits in overkill. Not sure why Agatha would even have done that duel, Then again he doesn't ever seem to care that much cuz its just a game.

nope. but he advertises that people should be less toxic and not talk trash while doing both of those things.

My portal bot is doing pretty well this season.

Did anyone get video of the 1v1 fights? Would love to see some point of views of that.
