YuLaw1 Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Its like im trying to have a nice duel. Then someone unwields there lightsaber so i dont attack them (i dont attack someone when they want to speak, but thats another topic altogether) and the little box appears above their head. I think they are about to say something interesting or ask an important question or something, but not asking how much health i have left. Then i when i respond with something along the lines of "enough" or "dont worry about that" they get pissed off. Im one of those guys that feels that you shouldnt know how much health your opponent has, thats the challenge of the fight. I dont mean to make anyone mad when i dont tell them my hp but i dont think im the only one that does this. Anyway, feel free to express your opinions on this. Im really curious as to how everyone else reacts when they see "whats your hp?" pop up on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerowingzero Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Lol i always reply "It's a secret" or "I won't tell you mine if you don't tell me yours", it's annoying, if you want to know the HP ask the other duelists when you lose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehomicidalegg Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 hehe if he keep asking for hp during a duel, ill dfa his ass the next time he starts to ask, its pointless and timewasting in a dueland im impatient:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YuLaw1 Posted July 26, 2002 Author Share Posted July 26, 2002 Yeah i dont mind telling my hp AFTER the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallakai Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 It's very annoying for someone to ask you this during a duel. I dont want to let my opponent know how close to death i am. What's really annoying is when in a duel server and your opponent asks you your hp and you refuse, then one of the spectators tells your opponent.

<>Phant0m<> Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Im with you YuLaw. I dont like to say either.... Unless i know he has 30 something and i have 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneJedi Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 its easy to tell usually, if your opponent is rather low, he will be using standoff tactics, and finisher moves, in desperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teutonicknight Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Well, I usally tell them if I know i'm going to win or lose (Win=100HP/25 Shields; lose=1 HP ); but usally not becasue I want them to actually fight, not just figure out my HP and do a move that will kill me.

NwO_2k_Mutt Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 I agree that it is very annoying, especially when they ask many times ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robrob Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Well if he's typing in a duel I will kill him and then tell him 100 hp afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druid Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 There is NO place for that kinda psycho-babble when I fight. I simply reply: not now. It's a dumb thing to ask for and I totally agree...why give them the edge? If they are any good they don't need to know... masta747:hp? = geez:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingSacrifice Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 It is so annoying to stop and watch someone typing and you think its a pertinent question, and it turns out to be...HP? I hate that, just duel and when I'm done, I'll tell you. Don't stop the match 2 or 3 times just to ask that lame question. Peace:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToppDog Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 I'll answer, but I don't ask. I find I play better if I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 I'm glad you posted this thread! I find this one of the most annoying things during a duel, it drives me mad hp? hp? hp? I always reply with "just fight" and they get the message straight away! What a stupid question anyway, who says you are going to get the truthfull answer? I used to type "full" all the time to bluff them out, idiots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YuLaw1 Posted July 28, 2002 Author Share Posted July 28, 2002 I see alot of people agree with me, but where are the ones that disagree with me. I know there has to be at least one person that LOVES knowing opponent's hp. Come on out of the closet and tell us why you HAVE to know your opponent's hp.

SkinWalker Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 I *always* ask the other player for his HP during a duel. Naah.... No I don't.. I hate that crap. I do one of two things when they ask me. I either totally lie (100 when I'm at 5 or 5 when I'm near 100) or I'll press the key I have binded for "It's a good day to die!" Usually they type back something like "wtf?" but just as I continue to fight. After the other player is laying there, I'll type back "sorry... thought you were ready." They usually stop asking dumb questions during a duel then SkinWalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YuLaw1 Posted July 28, 2002 Author Share Posted July 28, 2002 Heh, i noticed this thread has over 160 views and only 16 posts. Maybe all the others that viewed but didnt post are the ones that like asking for your hp but dont really feel like getting flamed. Ah well, nice hearing from everyone else even if they do agree with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMexican Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 nah, heaps of people view these threads but none post! damn lurkers! but yeah, i'll just lie to them, then ask "you?". when they start typing theirs, i'll dfa 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallakai Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 There's gotta be tons of people viewing these posts that are HP askers Post damn you! If I know someone's HP, i will prob change my strategy. If they have 100, it's not going to effect me. If I find out they have 20, im prob going to rush in and try to get a quick hit or 2 in light stance. If I find out they have 100 and I have 10, im going to hold off. It directly affects your strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pad Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 i dont mind telling my health cause most of the times the guys who ask cant hit me at all or barely. and even if u have 10hp u still can win a match, so hp doesnt mean anything. let the suckers know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeper Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 If someone asks me for "hphp??" I'll tell them truthfully. But I'm getting real tired of it and the next guy that asks is gonna get dfa'ed when he writes his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakka Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 yep, easiest way is to dfa them and then just lie and say you're sorry but you didn't see they were typing until after you started your dfa. er... and anyone who plays me, and I do this,. er.. I really am sorry and it is an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx1xx2xx3 Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 People who ask for hp during a fight are the worst examples of humankind. I would rather tear off my own arm and beat myself to death with it than be within 100 feet of a HP-asker. Also, asking for hp betrays the fact that you have no skill. Good players don't need to ask.

Sith Maximus Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 I have jsut bound a key that says "SHUTUP AND FIGHT". This si just sooooooooo silly to ask people this during combat. I also have kicked people when they asked this question. This is best left to AFTER a fight. But maybe the people asking this are just too new or stupid to know that this is just not right. This may come from that lost scene that was released a few weeks ago from Return of the Jedi...... Luke: Noooooooooooooo (Luke starts to kick Vaders butt) Vader: Hold on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luke: WTF? Vader: How many HP do you have left? Luke: 100/30 Why? Vader: Thanks dude mine is 20/40.....but go easy on me ok? Emperor: This is soooooo lame! Just kill him because I am tired of this BS! Luke: Whatever........... (continues to kick Vaders butt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
