This is a must read for those of 'honor'...

[Hiteche5]

Well I think the bowing thing can get outta hand in a FFA server...there is other people who might be trying to initiate a duel so get the duel over with quick is what I say. But in a duel server..."when in Rome..." you know the rest..In an FFA server I try to follow the same thing but I do not expect people to not take a swipe at me or a free shot. I do think to myself "Did that guy really have to put half an ammo pack in an opponent that was not moving!" but I won't fault them. For some winning is very important. There is days that I feel like trying to be a Jedi without using weapons and guns and being honorable is not very satisfying...I want to win!! But most of the time I have fun meeting up with someone in a server and having a good duel or trying to get the upperhand on gunners with just my saber. I'm a mediocre player and a mediocre kinda guy when it comes down to it.

I get what you mean when you say "more skill" now. Before I thought you meant more skill than the opposition, not more skill than you have yourself.

 

Also when I said "the counter for this is that the other guy has to be a better player", I meant a better player than his opposition, not better than he currently is himself lol.

 

So I agree with what you say by your interpretation, but I also stand by what I said. A game is not balanced if a lower-skill person can beat a higher-skill person consistently.

 

Also I don't think JO is unbalanced. Just clearing that up if I implied otherwise.

After coming back and reading what you guys have put in the thread I started, I feel that something that needs to be said was said but some of you failed to get the bigger picture.

 

I am glad that at least some of (and thank you much for understanding the point I was making) got the point that I was pointing out. Which for those of you that still haven't gotten it I will point on one last time in 'ol' school' format.

 

-It a game.

-It made fo' fun.

-Makin' fun o' somebody no make it no mo' fun.

-Respect needed to prevent making fun of someone

 

You are not respecting someone by calling them a cheap bastard even if they didn't respect you. Of course I don't think anything I can say will make you realize this because you guys that are caught up in your better than thou attitude are not going to stop disrespecting people. And you know how you do it. You do it by saying that your style is better than theirs in a variety of ways. You say that the way you do it is the way it is done. Your personal honor code turns into what you expect from everyone.

 

The bottom line is this. Even if they do what you call a 'cheap kill' does it physically kill you to show your the bigger man and not come on the forum and flame people that do what you have named a 'cheap kill'? I guess you just can't help but flame people with different morals than you. Thank all of you that come on here and flame people, you are the reason that games become unfun.

 

I in no way flamed anyone. I just tried to point out the failed logic that has come over this community of 'gamers'. I didn't judge you for your code of 'honor' and some of you judged me for mine. I am sick of hearing of this honor some of you use to hide behind, so I am going to be glad when this either blows over or another game with a nicer community comes out. Cause it is the people that have not show respect for others that has ruined the experience of this game for me.

Hey, if everyone just tries to have fun for themselves, and stops giving a rat's ass about ANYONE else, then everyone will have fun.

 

 

That is my theory.

 

Now, go out... and live it.

 

And get out of my sight.
