Man, if I knew I was going to be flamed this hard I might have kept my mouth shut. To try and start off positive I want to thank Wyrm for understanding the post. Clearly you read in between the lines. It's actually kind of hard to believe anyone read this topic besides Wyrm. I think most people took the "I'm out" in the title as a offensive or slanderous connotation. Allow me to explain.
:face:
Wait... You admit to making cheap back stab characters and complain that people can shrug off 3 of your WoG's in a row
I'm not sure if you know
how this game is played, much less how
Wrath of the God's works.
Wotg's is not called Marshmallow Parade. It is tactically the most useful spell a faith user has especially if you want to do something different from what everyone else is doing (this being not wearing heavy armor with DWGR). I think it is also important to take a look at the context in which I openly admitted to building the only 2 builds people use in the game. (While you are at it look at what I just wrote and see how you missed so much information based on the way I wrote my OP).
TLDR: WotG's is tailored to do two things. Knock down and do mild damage. People never do anything outside of what has been known to work which is really fast back stab builds and heavy turtle builds.
then gripe about others killing you in pvp? My troll sense is tingling...
I have to say bravo to you for not actually addressing my post with full comprehension of the content while at the same time slandering me. Good show sir... I believe my words were...
Every battle I get into these days is a 2v1 or some crazy off the wall shtuff happens or a combination of both.
I've been on the receiving end of a 40 foot frontal back stab for the last time.
So no I am not complaining about dying in PvP. I am saying I am fed up with lag stabs and piss poor battle connections. Telling some one you are fed up is not a complaint if you were wondering. it's a statement that refers to the actions one is going to take based on the satisfaction level of the content. A complaint would require a person to expect a response. I did not, especially in the format of flaming me.
Most people complain about being the receiving end of WoG's and you're complaining because you can't kill others with yours.
You realize that it isn't about whether or not a kill was achieved by usoing said spell rather, its reliability (knock down and damage) and functionality is in question.
Most complain that they want to fight honorably and everyone resorts to backstab fishing, yet you openly claim you have made these types of characters.
hmm... Maybe you could define honorable fighting? I'm sure it will just boil down to eliminating strategies you don't like but give it a shot.
Have you ever once considered that some of the folks you were backstabbing probably were "40 feet" away from you when it happened? "Lagstabs" are only viewable on the receiving end, the person doing it to you can never tell what it looks like on your end.
not once. You know how often I get a back stab? 1 out of every 10 matches maybe. Furthermore, I am not running on dsl so I can see when it lags and when it does it in my favor. Which is quite rare.
So many people accuse others of cheating with lag because they assume the other person is somehow using some cheap glitch to stab you in this way, when in reality they're just playing normally like you.
The problem with this is the fact that its relatively common knowledge that just such a glitch is out there so it is impossible to tell one way or the other. If said glitch were patched it may remove that overwhelming suspicion.
If you're experienced enough in pvp then you realize how this works and don't allow a situation where it can happen.
Now you are taking unconfirmed opinions about me and trying to derail the possibility that I may actually know what I am doing. The fact is, if someone teleports to you with a knife in your back it is by all accounts
UNAVOIDABLE.
Nowadays if I get backstabbed it's literally because I opened myself up and no one else's fault but my own.
Not sure how this is relevant to known issues with multiplayer?
Most of the higher level pvp players never complain about this kind of stuff. Why? Because it doesn't effect them that often. They don't open their back to an opponent for even a split second therefore they can't be backstabbed. Those that often get lagstabbed are people who unintentionally give the opponent the opportunity without even realizing it.
Assuming that I am not skillful enough or that I am careless is a pretty slippery slope to stand on. You sure you want to flame me on skill?
Now lets try to end on a good note.I have DmS so by no stretch of the imagination will I quit playing the games altogether i just feel like the game feels unatural which is the opposite of DmS.
