Good talk.

Also anyone available for for a ranked match? I want to test out a new character, a monster hunter.

@GreivousKhan

Depends how strong they are, I could match them with Adrian.

For example, using the environment to rebound your shot off the wall so it comes back around from an angle you opponent can't realistically see coming.

The trouble is most people are pretty straight forward in strategies they use. By which I mean they don't use any. Most tend to to the same thing over and over again hoping for change.

Which is the definition of insanity.

@GreivousKhan

Which when you think about it isn't actually flawed at all. Why not do the same thing over and over again against a biological individual, they are fallible and grow more fallible as they grow fatigued, essentially resulting in a favourable result after enough time.

Hell, it's the very definition of attrition warfare, which although shitty definitely works.

Arena Chat Thread

@GreivousKhan I disagree. Not so much now, but more so when the arena was more melee oriented than it is now, playing an Archer took much more skill. Specifically with people that felt like they could dodge every arrow with absurd skill. Archers still do take a much more tactical approach, IMO. Maybe not quite as much 'skill' in the sense of using weaponry, but it definitely has its 'drawbacks'. Lol

@Impaqt

I don't really see what the draw-back is with even the most basic form of ranged attack, a bow. You fire off a few volleys while someone runs at you, oh noe they're at close range (and I'm unable to outrun them? Usually a bow character is wearing lighter equipment or otherwise more agile) I'll just drop my bow and pull out a sword.

Ultimately it's just an extra and far more flexible form of attack, which is far harder to defend against than a melee strike which can be re-directed or stopped at the source more easily.

<Snipped quote by MelonHead>Yup, I just came back.
Anywqays, why's that I never get an alert when you mention my name?
Do you always edit in the @mention part?

@Willy Vereb

Yeah probably

Gr8 b8 m8. I r8 8/8.

Anyways, at first I thought you meant cut her in half vertically from between the legs, which would be very hard to accomplish if she's rolling away from you due to having to hit before she turns away much at all. Rolling towards you would provide a longer opportunity and reaction time. Horizontally is more likely.

If this debacle has bee settled i'll post after work and dinner.

@ImportantNobody

I did mean horizontal, but that isn't what Judgement did anyway and by all accounts I think everything is sorted now.

Well Khan, I don't usually type with numbers replacing letters, though I suppose I should start using emotes.

Not the cartwheel thing. I get the cartwheel thing. I was just trying to be a bit stylish which didn't work.

@DJAtomika

That's fine then, everything else was a joke. In some circumstances the cartwheel wouldn't have even been a big deal, only in this case Judgement had the capacity to punish it.

I'm joking, of course.

But it really, really, really gets on my nerves when someone acts all uppity like that.

Please don't do it again, Melon. Else I really consider conceding.

@DJAtomika

I'm not apologizing for my sense of humour, if you have an inability to distinguish between serious and humorous remarks ask in future, or look out for obvious signs such as replacing letters with numbers which is a very common internet meme for angry English people at the moment.

Unless you're calling me uppity for pointing out that a cartwheel in a fight is a bad idea, in which case, whatever, you're wrong.

Can people stop debating my analogy and completely missing the point, lol.

Actually continue, it's kind of funny.
