I agree with number two. Number 1 is interesting, but it can't possibly work in practice. Any competent saberist will disarm someone who even does two hit combos without swingblock. Even in the current systems I can routinely Mblock disarm the 2nd swing in someones combo by prediction. In...

I'd just like to chip in and say that I've always been a massive fan of games like Unreal tournament and Quake, where movement was a large part of skill. But as Ben rightfully pointed out, it's not just movement we're dealing with but movement prediction aswell. On a related note, in MB2 RDFA...

Why do you think Hex and the others decided that ITS ZE FINAL COONTDAUN. And what we gotta freeze it? It's precisely for this reason I guess. Since this is the case, it will probably take more time to get it out, more open beta tests and more work. Imagine if the saber system got frozen in 1.4.3...

Ah, I get what you're saying. I forgot to include parrying. Defense and offense are certainly strategical choices, but they are also simply the basic actions of attacking and defending. If a system is skewed too much towards attacking, and largely glosses over defense, that means the most...

Offense = Attacking. Actively seeking to deal damage. Defense = PBing, Mblocking, Dodging. Actively avoiding damage.

You misunderstand me, as tempest has already pointed out. I'm not saying dueling should take ages. I'm saying that there should be nearly equal rewards for landing a good offense as landing a good defense. In a system with high drains, a few attacks and a few ACM gained counts very much, but...

Discussion about yaw, fixing the hitbox abuse. Posting my reply to tempest here as reference. ---- I like that aiming your swings has an impact on their performance. After a little think, I don't think this should be fixed, since it is a nice part of an entire skillset of learning how to aim...

I also rather like the simple hud. But the HUD related feature I would want most would be a movable, adjustable BP bar. Say you could move the old fuel bar to the middle of the screen, drag it down to the bottom and then make it horizontal rather than vertical, then double its size. That would...

I tried the new blue for awhile and overall I feel that it is pretty decent. I really like its concept and how it plays in general, since I am a guy that has always liked PB as a skill. Even before aimed PB, I was the guy that wanted PBs to matter and I spent time trying to find the best ways to...

Yeah. I think the semi-PB stuff and stagger stuff will be changed for sure. For purple I second that it would be better to see smth like stab make a return. As long as it serves a function similar to blue lunge, to break momentum and knock back to reposition. It shouldn't be a super BP drain...

Yes, that is the point. Return to 1.4.4 state jedi vs gunner with Nudge on slow styles that need it. Or start modifying and tweaking open mode again somehow. Or leave as is, and force players to use cyan/yellow/duals.

I'm 120% with you on that. It's good that sabering is becoming more accessible to new players, but it is no good to ruin skill depth in the process. If you are really, really beastly good, you should be able to show it through your plays instead of having the beastly skill culled by mechanics.

Cyan has taken over as the boss of fast style retardo spam. It's basically like the old aggressive blue playstyle you talk about in that it is based around many fast attacks and aggression. It's just a bit different with the parrying stuff, but it is basically the same kind of idea. Now, I'm not...

I already gave a bunch of feedback in the closed beta thread, so I won't repeat those points here. These are merely two vital conclusions I have drawn so far that I believe nobody else have pointed out. 1. Semi-PB should be available during all staggers and on Swingblocked returns. I don't...

Hello and welcome to MBII. I wish you luck in uncovering the deep and profound mysteries of the special creature known as the MBII community :)

Interesting idea. No I don't stream, haven't rly thought about it :) I posted a few dueling videos on my youtube channel for that purpose. I've often heard that ppl find them useful for learning even if it's just me dueling and I do have a few 1.4.3 and 1.4.4 vids up that u can take a look at if...

I have a desire to make a definitive video guide/series that covers everything, starting with the basics and how to play each style. This has been put off time and time again beause the saber system keeps changing. Same reason why I haven't updated the dueling compendium recently. (Frankly 1.4.3...

That is good to know. Thx. I wonder if any server owners are willing/capable of setting it to 50 to test the difference? Duel servers would be ideal since you'd probably get more fps on one of them. Depending on the amount of ppl ofc.

This brings up a somewhat related question I've had for awhile. Why don't servers have higher rate settings and sv_fps? Most are capped at sv_fps 30, and if you're lucky 40. Why not 90? I wonder what benefits you'd get for snaps 90 with a high sv_fps. Same with rate, server caps it at 25000 or...

Hmm. Over 1 year ago I said this. But if you're bringing the server back then.. Hare krishna hare krishna... or maybe just Praise Allah I dunno. I wouldn't mind being an admin either :)
