    Can someone explain Dueling to me? (solved)

    Considering in previous patches most of my duels ended with me having 100 BP, and my opponent 0, that doesn't seem particularly accurate. Back in 1.3 almost all the better players I fought could 100-0 me. So I don't think that's very accurate.

    Can someone explain Dueling to me? (solved)

    1.5 is a silly patch. I wouldn't worry about it. Even some of the top duelists randomly die to people that just have obscure timing. Yesterday I fought a brand new player who nearly killed me just because he swung at a weird time when I was about to swing, and it dropped me down to 20 BP, and...

    My way of making MBII good

    Okay, firstly, I do partially agree with you, but there are many flaws with your logic, one of which is attempting to push Mount and Blade feinting/other mechanics. Which I have to say "No." to. MB2's sabering functionality is mostly fine, they just need to bring back 1.3 with some basic tweaks...

    Someone Explain

    The issue is there is no real consistent system in place for Jedi vs Gunner. It boils down to "I hope he doesn't hit me" and the Jedi gets the advantage of having more than one mistake available to them. Gunning in MB2 is highly inconsistent due to how fast the acceleration and movement classes...

    Tempest's Saber Build

    Firestrike was a top NA duelist for a very long time. He wasn't the best back when I played, but he did know how to use the system better than most, including myself (I was a youngin' in 1.3). Again, as he pointed out, this is more of a matter of opinion. The old PB system was less consistent...

    Tempest's Saber Build

    No, it wasn't. Tempest attempted to bring it back via 'normal block', and it was horrendously skill-less. There was no real way to control where your opponent's saber would be, and if you hit his saber, your damage didn't happen. So people could effectively block damage by having a seizure with...

    Tempest's Saber Build

    Aaron tried 1.3 and spent most of the time complaining about classic dotf, then losing to Shilling and friends, plus he's always talking about removing everything but yellow/blue/red. So I take everything he says with a molecule of salt.

    Tempest's Saber Build

    I recognize that it was loved, I recognize that it was popular, I recognize that it worked at the time. I'm not going to name drop people, they can speak for themselves if they wish. However the common consensus I have received when I asked about old builds before my time, was that the system...

    Tempest's Saber Build

    When nudge was reintroduced in 1.4+, many of the old vets liked it at first, but then most grew to dislike it. You yourself disliked 1.4 more so than 1.3. I'm assuming you're EU since I never saw you on NA. I don't know too many EU vets well enough to know their opinions on Pre-V1 stuff, but I...

    Tempest's Saber Build

    But in all honesty I don't even feel like giving Stassin the benefit of the doubt anymore. I've been through 1.4, and now 1.5, and frankly I don't have any faith in him. I'm putting my money on Tempest.

    Tempest's Saber Build

    I know a lot of players who played prior to v1.1 and didn't like nudge. I went back and played those old versions, and while they are viable saber systems, they are less consistent than the more modern PB system. It isn't worth going back that far, because we'll just go in circles. The saber...

    REMOVE SWINGBLOCK NOW!!!

    Swingblock should be changed a bit so it isn't an all encompassing mandatory mechanic and actually requires some thought put into using it, but it shouldn't be removed. Nonsensical trolling.

    Is Moviebattles 2 dying?

    It was also partially true. 1.4 killed a massive amount of the player base, and not many come on anymore. 1.4.5 killed even more. We still get a lot of new players, but... the population is most definitely detracted and not the same. Now I wouldn't say MB2 was dying back then, but I don't think...

    Reverting to Legacy Saber vs Gunner

    Hey hey hey, I'm not the one who released 1.5. I mean, I spent hours thinking about issues, testing things, and I told you precisely what I thought was wrong. Turns out, I wasn't that far off in my statements. If that is egotistical, then too bad.

    Reverting to Legacy Saber vs Gunner

    Is this the part where people go "Hey Achilles, we thought your ideas were bad, but they were actually pretty interesting. We should try them!" Or is this the part where people go "Man that Achilles guy was such an idiot, good thing all these totally original ideas we have came from us and not...

    Tempest's Saber Build

    If the skill ceiling was so low then why were the top players still the top? 0 Fairness between the styles? Surely you must be joking, the only overpowered styles were purple and partially Staff, every other style was beatable by every other style. I don't think you ever knew how to play well in...

    Tempest's Saber Build

    It would apply to all classes, but the chase mechanic in Chivalry is very gradual, and only really works if the opponent is running **away** from you, not if they're just standing still. 1) I mean, as a Jedi you can already use speed to get some place faster than expected. A minor percentage...

    Tempest's Saber Build

    The issue being you would require the Jedi to be low on FP or be force focused which is not feasible in most dueling situations. Like what situations? Jedi/Sith should not be slower than hero/BH/Wookiee. Since Jedi/Sith is a dedicated melee class they should always be able to catch up to...

    Tempest's Saber Build

    That makes fighting multiple opponents extremely difficult if not impossible. A chase mechanic should not impede your ability to dodge, just your ability to run away forever.
