Good 1v1 Thread

[spelunker]

if I turn my camera to face my attacker when stunned does that also break positional dmg? More specifically, if I turn the camera to face with just lmb without hitting rmb until i come out of the stun, will I be breaking the positional dmg bonus?

I've never been one to look at my combat log much in the moors and had never heard of stun turning till I saw this thread and looked it up. I've been obliviously 'stun turning' from day one since my first move post stun is going to be to face an opponent and I want to be doing that the instant I get up.

Stun-turning is turning your actual character while still stunned. If you don't know exactly how to do it, you probably aren't doing it.

What am I doing on this forum?

Normally I would turn with both mouse buttons to face my opponent. if that doesn't do it, don't tell me how...

My nooby r5 warg with 8 Audacity says thanks for the 1v1s

The * key. A bit of an inconvenient spot on the keyboard, and as a warden there's not all that much of a need to ever do it anyway.

Although, if you do use it, you can expect people to get their knickers in a knot because they didn't get 3-4 attacks with free bonus damage.

I am easily the worst warg on Elendilmir, but thanks for all the 1v1s the past few days. It's been fun and a great learning experience.

[Kiddyfence]

Good 1v1 at CoT, Swizz. It was impressive how, when you were losing, you got me to stop attacking by stopping yourself and then having a warg pounce me before continuing our fight. But I guess that's how Flash Mob does 1v1s.

Then again, reavers are quite underpowered at the moment so it's understandable that you'd need outside help in a 1v1 circle. Oh wait. I got that backwards. Reavers are quite strong, but unfortunately the only skills you bought from store don't actually make you play any better.

[Sezneg]

Back when I played my burg, if I thought the same way I maybe would have gotten 2 or 3 fights at a 1v1

And the creeps who stun turned on you were just as undeserving of fights.

If my opponents had good movement (Or just a ridiculous slow/movement buff handicap), stun turning would have done very little over the course of the fight. If They had bad movement, it wouldn't have mattered.

I don't do it myself, but I cannot see the reasoning behind why it is taboo.

For the same reason bugging out npc's or any of the other plethora of faulty mechanics within the game should be considered taboo. Whether the advantage gained is relatively small (in this case) or not it is still an exploit and a fault within game mechanics.


Also, I said if I wasn't doing it don't tell me how it works! In 8-9 months of freep/creeping on another server I had never seen or heard of this, I've seen it a few times here on E since posting, so I'm glad to see I hadn't been inadvertently doing it like my initial search on it lead me to believe.

[pinion247]

Good fights today Aceacedeucethree, Brookgrim, Thomasborn-1, and Arazel.

Also Gando, Macswagga. and Vangelis. Vang, you're the first LM I've fought in RoR and I obviously have no answer currently for water-lore. Very informative fights.

[Tityla]

Good 1v1s at GV this afternoon: Evilbite, Thrakh, Scizor, Mogillia, Grushkul, Epcot, Dawning, Rkahnakh.

Special props to Epcot. Very instructive fights.

Traditionally, bugging out npc's has been completely different in it's effect on the affected opposition.
For example, a reaver bugging out old EC's npc's so that the creep force can zerg inside without having to risk casualty (that was probably the most common).

I still don't see how stun-turning contrasts with, say, hunters sitting on top of the bridge pillars to escape risk from melee opponents.
Unless you lost by a minuscule amount of damage, it really shouldn't affect anything that wouldn't have otherwise happened (in terms of results).

obviously the relative scale of this exploit is less than most other bugs, but that doesn't make it right (same with ranged classes sitting on the pillars via horse). You're more than welcome to determine whether you want to fight people who use this exploit, just like anyone else, but to dismiss an exploit simply because 'its not that big of a deal' is, IMO, missing the point.

Awesome 1v1s today!

Rkahnahk - Fantastic fights as always - esp. that fight where you won by something like 40 morale :P
Chachii and Fibur - You guys hit like trucks. Ouch
Eccreluk - You're a tough nut to crack!
Weblash - I like the way you used rocks/ trees/ anything in the way, made it a real challenge.
Davastated - We've had so many good fights @ 75, but I can't beat you anymore hehe

And many others that I forgot the names of. Had a blast!

Thanks to...
Gandoras for the fights today, one of the best rk's out there
Femba, for your fun spirit that makes our close 1v1s that much more entertaining
Diner, for the great fights we've had recently, you're a champ to be reckoned with
Rosenthal, for our extremely close fights, because of you I've had to rethink some footwork
and thanks to whoever I missed, including the countless lms that make me watch my windlore cd like a hawk

Great fights, good hunting!

That is all.

[vip123]

Cheers for all the challenging and fun fights to all whom I've encountered in the past few days.

Too many names to list, but you know who you are, keep it up.

[crandomusernamel]

Nice random 1v1 Diner, bubbles aren't a bad thing either especially when we have the outposts! Enjoy the video or not I had fun making and watching it *p*p*p*.




Some other enjoyable 1v1's the other night on GV hill, thanks to all those as well.

A captain from Apoc I don't remember name but starts with a B.

Just realized this is probably me. Good fights one and all.

[Malefico]

Thanks to all the creeps/freeps that Ive 1v1ed lately, been a lot so I dont remember all but special thanks to:
Phishies, Kidefence, Gando, Garam, Gokrat, Chachii, Surfacing, Rhaknakh, that gave some really awesome fights.

[Bhurgo_Burglefools]

Hey Slick, thank you for the fights, I noticed after the fact we had two outposts and you guys didn't have any! We'll have to do it again at a different time.

Also, thank you Mr. Irish Reaver Dance.

[molgamic]

Thanks for the 1v1s today:

Lumawtor
Rahk
Rkahnakh - Awesome as always
Fuzzie - You hit hard! Still trying to figure out a way to beat you, I feel like that one time I got lucky haha.

[MisterSmiles]

Thanks for all the fights today, it was nice to come back to some 1v1s. Seemed like every one I fought had a unique style, which was refreshing.

Fuzzie - You hit hard! Still trying to figure out a way to beat you, I feel like that one time I got lucky haha.

I learned my lesson after the first time :P

[jennirich]

Thanks for the spars at poor TR. Sorry I can't remember all your names, but it was fun nonetheless.
