Staring:
Ziddane

Laertes

Music isn't as long as the video, but thats just for an easier upload.

Yeah it did kinda drag on for about 6 minutes... most of my fights with him usually do, but if you could hear us talking it'd be much more amusing =) I'm sure everyone here could relate to fighting someone over skype/teamspeak/vent

Only thing I really like about the video is you turned a Plaza Level 3 apartment into a duelling area, but I didn't even like it that much, you just made walls out of it, which gave the monk fighters an advantage as their typical APU spell needs no line of sight. The music was not to my liking, and I found the video a tad boring because it was just people running around, with no health bars, so you just simply watched them run around each other until someone splatted on the floor.

Good job in making the video nonetheless. If I was making a video I would use a Revenge or some other kamikazee drone, or even a scout drone for the zoom feature, but tweak the HUD so the drone interface is completely transparent (although I haven't tried that yet, might do when I get home from work). You'll have the freedom of a large scope of the camera while being able to watch the persons health bars, especially if teamed. :)

Sorry for the negative reply though. :(

Oh its just one in the personal collection, didn't really mean to have it all perfected I guess... and the dueling area was initially intended for "aiming practice" where we'd all use a tl10 weapon and sometimes a tl3 heal (no armor of course) and just duke it out, people placing bets on the viewing chairs outside =)

Plaza 2 comfy cubicle (closest to plaza 3) password: asses
If you'd really like to check it out theres chairs in the doors... we dont really use it all that much, if ever so have your way with it.

This is not a duel or "fight" in the normal sense.
it's more clipping/lag wars, with a little twist in favour of the hybrid, which spent something to 1 min to buff up, take pa and start shooting.

Actually its begining to piss me off that people are saying it was in favor of the hybrid, it was closed quarters and the tank had a dev, this does not need a los, so stfu. Yes monks, sometimes especially hybrids, are overpowered, but this does not mean that a good player of any other type cant beat them.

I'm glad watching a quick video of a "fight" made you angry enough to post negatively.

The majority of "fights" in neocron are not in large open spaces, clipping happens just by moving, so does lag. get used to it.

Ever heard of something called a reticle?
It's something that you loose alot in clipping areas like that.....do you know what a monk doesn't have?

still, it's not a fight in a normal sence. its clipwars and it's certainly not about los.
in short, if that happened in some decent open space, where certainly the majority of fights do happen, the "overpowered" hybrid would be dead in 10 secs. Furthermore i have said it again: when we are talking about overpower. there isnt sometimes, little or much. it's overpower period. you haven't made us ungry, particularly me and Im sorry for the work you had to put in this video

Actually a good blessed hyb can't die to any other class but an APU (but good ones aren't that common nowadays), as the blessed hyb should be able to outheal any weapon (but Holy Lightning), while no other class can outheal his damage. So "duels" between blessed hybs and anything else are just rediculous.

My setups fine, I take less damage than you. Ziddane is one of the best tanks on the server tbh, whos setup I've also made. Honestly, most tanks are shit because its one of the easier to get familiar with setups and is newb friendly in that perspective but its not so much as easy to be great with one.
Calling him the worst tank on terra is hilarious, theres 6 minutes of him not missing.

Do you cap your psi attack 2? no? kthnx.

Well, I've personally seen (and done myself) people kill ppus by themselves on many char types, isn't a blessed hyb a weak ppu with apu spells? yes. They can be killed by any char type. The "overpowered" classes aren't overpowered by very much, and tbh I'd have to say xbow pe is the most overpowered of them all 1shot = cs burst damage and 30 shot clips.

A good blessed hybrid, as you say, should be able to out heal a holy lightning, and cap a psi attack 2.

However, it is the most boring class known to man. You cant die, and you can barely kill.

And btw, my penis is bigger.

First a noob heal is the main way blessed hybrids die.

And second, a HL dousent beat a hybrid, aim does. Before the reload a cs could outdamage a blessed heal if it hit consistently. Im almost ashamed to say i lost once on my blessed hybrid to a tank using a cs. He didnt miss a single burst and didnt delay once while i had a constant blessed heal and medpacks going. So yes, i know it could be done. Dont know about now.

Maybe to that shitty blessed hyb (Look how much he missed...). But to any of the good/not-too-bad blessed hybrids that tank wouldn't do shit.
It almost makes me want to take a few days off working on my L2 server and come kill some people. Beacuse from the looks of the PvP videos I have seen lately, there is no one that really stands out (from what I have seen).

But outside when it's not "fair" fighting (Gota love cliping) there is almost no chance for even the best person that is not a APU hyb to kill a good blessed hybrid (in a 1v1).

did ziddane fought ALL tanks on terra? no? kthnx.

capping psi attack2 makes you special? no? kthnx.


your setup's fine, you take less dmg than others.
does this mean you have l33t 5|<1ll5 now?
its not only about taking less dmg than other ppl.

people killing ppus by themselves.. means the ppu is crap.
all the good players left the game, think its about time you realise that.
i can go on forever but whats the point?
i mean i dont cap my psi attack2 so my opinion means nothing.


only good thing about the vid is the music.

Safunte, roger is known in nc. i never heard of Ziddane either until mint fear whooped his ass a few times.

and in case you post "and wtf are you again?", well... ask around for ice and find out urself.
all i'll say to you is this:
150+ PA's and 100+ rares hacked from belts in a week. need i say more?

kthnx.

13-02-06, 00:43
I think Ziddane needs anti damage boosting drugs and Laertes needs to learn how to hit a target, serious i've sene hybrids take down a tank about half a minute but 6? and did Ziddane ever consider using a speed gatlin instead of a CS or crappy dev, he might have actually came close to winning then although against a hybrid thats rather impossible due to the whole unbalanced thing.

Tostino
13-02-06, 00:45

No, that hybrid is very crap. If that tank had better aim, and used a speed gat the hyb would have gone down faster then a 5$ street whore.

i'm going to go ahead and say ziddane is rediculously fast, and the majority ofour duels take about 30seconds, but this one lasted the longest which is why i posted it.

I never said he was the best
note the one of the

It's funny what kind of crap people say about xbow pes being overpowered.
xbow pe does cs burst dammage in one shot? So you're saying a full cs burst does 38 to a pe?

And it allways cracks me up when blessed hybrids claim a weapon's overpowered, it's usualy something that killed them 5 minutes before, because they are not used to dying to anyone.

As for the fighting in the video. Let me say that a neofrag session with Mike Delaware, Fiese dracksackblase, kazuya and Chopo's tank all using baseball bats would be a lot more interesting than what you chose to record.
I've fought a LOT of people that came from pandora, and i can honestly say that there was only two i thought were any good. POW a pe and then speedball on his tank.

On the other hand, me I can't understand how can one decides to play something that in order to fight, you need to place pa on- buff- pa off shoot after 2 mins - pa on s/d/hh - pa off shoot - after 10 mins pa on full buffs and so on, I mean come on there's gotta be a way more fun to play a character.

As for the crossbows being overpowered, this is bullshit coming from someone that's used to being attacked from much much much inferior weapons. So, now that he has to deal with something that does real damage he simply throws his crap in the fan, in a desperate attempt he will once again be the only king on the hill using his OVERPOWERED blessed hybrid. For this reason alone, I would say: boost crossbow to how it was back then prior its nerf :rolleyes:

13-02-06, 15:38
The xbow is overpowered, espacially when PEs using it.

Its damage equals exe-dmg, but it aims much more easier.

I play a pistol spy and I refused to accquire WOC.
Finnally I lvlt the 260mio XP and got used to the xbow. IT IS SO FUCKIN EASY! And it can be used by a jude-PE.

Just compare Spy and PE. To reach the spy-dmg, PEs fomerly had to use drugs and gimp there resists. Now they can just stay with a judge-setup.

The tanks you see running around who people have been naming are above average nothing else. There are not any outstanding tanks left in this game anymore and if there are, they dont play them now coz of monkocron and reload nerf.

With crap like this being spread, yes, now i understand where the "omg a no tc lowtech pe with ppr chips and xbow" and "all 120 stats epic weapon with exec dammage" comes from.

There's not even a need to defend the weapon. It takes LONG to level to get it, getting a disc even longer. I've been beaten by exec and judge pes, mostly by tanks. Apu and blessed hybrids usualy get me too.
The only true advantages i see in the xbow is the larger clipsize and the fact it can hit people in stealth, plus running around with red sl isn't that bad.

If the xbow was removed i'd go for a 110 hack and 115 poke judge pe setup that guns reveler and drives quad, and still get the EXACT same resist setup i have now.

But anyway, that was not the discussion, the discussion was the pvp movie and how bad the fighting was (i did dig the appartement though).

If the drugs are blue and not more than 1-2 it can be done. For Pes they are optional. For spies that do close combat are a must

some of the best pes/spys use 3-4+ 10min/5min drugs and do fine

No, i dont have a clue mate.

But when you mention Tsu rifle, i tend to think NC2. A place where the so called "overpowered" ravager of NC1 doesnt exist anymore.

well what i was trying to say that in the hands of someone like dargshead every weapon may 'seem' to be overpowered.
sorry for confusion then

I've fought a LOT of people that came from pandora, and i can honestly say that there was only two i thought were any good.
Well, as one of the last remaining players of Pandora I had to answer this malicious provocation ! :eek:

*penis enlargement system activated*

No offense nor irony, but as far as I remember the few times I got to fight your PE as a tank, you did just die or ran away when not simply taking advantage of some anticity-ppu's presence (like only a couple of dramatically hypocritical and full-mouthed fetish whiners including yourself sometimes do). Which doesn't mean I'm good at fighting as Tank you're right, especially when you know that following the example of freshly landed Pandora/Venus oldtimers a majority of the only so-called pvp situations I managed to get involved in are zonewhoring at MB/Pussy/P2 (which I just see as training sessions for my aiming skills tbh) and chaos cave ganking around CRP. So I am naively wondering how you came to the conclusion that Pandora's remaining players suck at pvp, considering you barely ever show your greasy nose in a OP fight or 10 meters away from a synch ?

Btw Speedball is probably one of the best hc tank you ever fought (but I guess Terra used to be full of tanks of the same pedigree before I started playing on it), though he's not the most dangerous Tank I ever met : anyone from Venus/Pandore could tell you about Akuma, you know, that kind of tank who would just cancel his NC account if he ever missed one single CS burst and is able to humiliate 2 skilled Pe's in a streetfight all by himself, whereas imho any average tank (like I probably am) is supposed to die most of the time 1v1 from any decent PE like you.

But maybe somehow could you enlighten us about what's supposed to be a good tank then ?

Ok I'm done with those ego issues anyway. Erm... wait, not yet, one last thing :


I'm not gonna say anything about ballance anymore before i know what the core rules for the new system are, then things have to be tested, consetups, dammagetesting, DOT etc etc.
Lies.

*feels so much better*

About the video itself now. I like they way it's filmed (a bit immersive), I like the appartment's furnitures, very nice place for a duel. But I haven't even watched it until the end cause dueling a Blessed Hybrid is so pointless :

- I've never met nor heard of any kind of char that could beat a decent blessed hybrid in a duel, not even an apu-based hyb, and certainly not a PE or a Tank. People telling you the contrary obviously never played one and only fought noob hybs like this one.
- the main challenge playing a blessed hyb consists on either fighting several opponents at the same time, or killing opponent before he had time to run away from you. Surviving is a joke with blessed shelter/heal and holy defl.
- only a PE or another hybrid monk stands a single chance to stay alive more than 1 minute versus any average blessed hybrid in a "fair" (not really the right word) duel
- a blessed hybrid has great chance to win a fight against 2 PE's at the same time. Ask Gunnar. It's almost simple when they got heads the size of New York :rolleyes:
- a tank is probably the easiest class to beat for a blessed hybrid 1on1, unless he got aimbot + devourer. No stealth, no rejuv, no antibuff, no need to say more.
- the monk in that video isn't what I call a decent blessed hybrid. Either he just started playing this class, or he's very far away from being capped and got no MC5 chip. Getting rid of the PAs would be a nice start :lol:
- For information, non-dmgboosted force-capped tank with 500 health dies from 30 or more Psi-Attack-2 headshots with 499% dmg TL3 defl on. This is to say approx 17 health points per hit, far away from low tech pistols (like Wyatt Earp) damage output contrarely to what "someone here" would like to make us think. 25 headshots without defl, and 40 headshots with 450%ish holy defl.
- Blessed hybrids are totally fucked when freezed and dam boosted (I know... who's not :p), they can't be tradeskillers, they're almost useless in a OP fight, they require better aiming than any other kind of monk to be efficient.

This is not what I call a overpowered class, I can't believe that people calling them overpowered ever saw a NC1 OP Fight before hybrids got nerfed and stealth was implemented. Blessed hybrids are just The Duels gods now : accept it and never engage a fight with one of them when you're alone. CS:S and Pokeman Battle Arena Special Edition are waiting for you with open arms if you wanted inter-class balanced duels.

lol nps.

This seems to come up alot though, that a weapon is sometimes overpowered just coz someone good uses it.

Yes, come back. Then maybe I'll play more than once a week!
Do you have a mic, and are you willing to get on TS/Vent now? :p

I have. But the sad thing is you need monks to kill monks... which is the dumbest thing in the world.

AHHAHAHA so true!

agree

Actually, the part about aiming... I'd say they're the most forgiving kind of monk in terms of aiming. Using a blessed hyb is like using a PE with less damage output and a lot higher defense. I don't really know how to explain the aiming deal unless you've played a PE for a long ass time, then played a monk with HL and with psi attack 2 for a long time too.

It is overpowered. Nothing is overpowered compared to the old hybrids that could do everything, but that's like saying a F-22 isn't overpowered in 1on1 air to air combat because God could smite one down if he wanted. The only thing that isn't quite as overpowered is that they aren't quite effective in a team. But neither is a PE... and in a team they're much better than a full combat-specced PE. So comparing a blessed hyb to a PE, yes, they are overpowered.
