Dueling Is a Perfect Circle and Builds Are Just a Tool

Yes.

I prefer to think of it as satire.

Well, in that case .

riiiight.
We don't need you in this community. As far as I'm concerned your invisible, and I'd suggest others do the same.

Alright, this is becoming contentious, and ambiguous when it comes to humor so let me stop everyone before we get a pissing match. Get back to discussing points/counterpoints.

I farted.

Sorry Emergence, i was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to use that Video .
I'm done here either way

I didn't ask for derailment either.

Saturday you need to work on your humor, when doing satirical jokes they need to be far more farcical so that people know they are jokes. Rather than saying From members gave you the title, you should have said a secret coven of hyper intelligent Tuna that play Counterstrike Source 24/7.

Jeez, someone needs to go to clown college obviously.

This talk does remind me a lot of dominant strategy in game design, a concept which I'm not in particular fond of. However I don't put the blame on the player when there is that strategy that dominates all, I instead consider it a mistake on the part of the developer.

Yet there is also that issue in that it wasn't reasonable for them to foresee it, that the metagame evolved in a way that uncovered it in a ridiculous way which would have required years of testing on the part of the developer.

There are builds that are indeed far more effective than the creative ones I like to use, but the reason I like to use the creative builds is so that it can feel more fresh to me. Yes playstyle will decide the feel of a battle and what goes on far more than gear does. However I see a lot of the same playstyles being used, and there is a point where mechanics come into that. For instance the backstab, it is a semi-dominant strategy based off of statistical damage it can do. While not in the same context that melting pot where the line things. A playstyle based off the mechanic heavily, and its statistical effects.

But by this point I'm rambling and probably lost my point.

Hundreds of years lol.

They never seen it coming. I don't know why the exact same concept was used for Dark Souls. There should've been an escape move added.

Back on point.

Thanks for the theoretical theories Saturday, insightful as always.

But I gotta say, this is strangely reminiscent of "Japanese know what they're doing" or whatever.

I really like how you explain certain points though. Some of your logic is sound, and other parts are not of my opinion.

Thanks for the read. I found it very interesting.

"High ledged" as in "I stay above you" ?

Shows how important your title is .

I feel like jokes lose much of their value as they become more obvious. Besides, Cronotis thought it was funny

Although it was somewhat obvious, I thought the post was fine. Sure, making builds is by no means an arduous task, but it doesn't hurt to simplify it like that. The more fleshed out the aspects of Dark Souls becomes, the better!
(I don't mean that as literally adding to it, I mean that more so as there being more explanations about the game.)




(A few parts were a bit overkill though...)

No one will change him.

Meh, whatever floats your boat i guess .

LMAO!

Why not challenge Saint to a series of duels? I find challenging someone I have a problem with to be very cathartic. I even offer my services to host and referee.

"I sat down and wrote me a little song.
Now this is how it feels to be alone
At the top of the hill and trying to figure out why

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way.
I can't wait to look in the mirror

'cos I get better looking each day
To know me is to love me

I must be a hell of a man.
O Lord it's hard to be humble
But I'm doing the best that I can."

Hope to see you tonight for Friday Night Fights.

If there wasn't a console barrier I'd gladly go slap him in the face.

Everyone put your E-Penis away, you too Rynn. I think it's very un-lady-like of you. I mean literally.

If I had a dollar for every time someone immediately asked me to play that song upon finding out I'm a bassist I'd be rich enough to buy half of mexico.

@Saturday. You might be my new favorite person. Your greatbow build example make me so happy, it's like I discovered El Dorado

Bass players unite. I feel your pain. In fairness I do play that line on my own often enough.
