Edpao Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 What do you guys think of people asking for your HP in the middle of a duel? For some reason, it bugs the heck out of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEDI_Nova Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 yeah it annoys me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis_Aureus Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Either I tell them that I have 100 or I ignore them. It is quite silly to tell really... I have won plenty of fights where I have been under 25hp most of the match and telling my opponent that I have 25 would not be smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydian Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Yes, it's stupid. I don't mind asking people AFTER the duel how much they had left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beefotron X Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 Sudden acts of increased agression are so unreliable to predict. I don't worry about whether the other guy goes nuts, myself. Psychos do put you on defense, but they tend to have more openings that you can go for. When someone asks me my HP mid-duel, I always lie. If I have a lot, I'll give them a small number, if I have a low HP, I'll give them a high number. However, I think it's a good idea for the winner of a duel to give his HP after it's over.

SeraphimII Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 n00bidoobiedoo-Hps? Seraphim- Enough. or if I'm really in trouble Seraphim- Enough, hopefully. I really don't like telling ppl my hps unless I have 100/2x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psionic Jedi Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 Telling people your HP is a double edged sword: The best scenario is they start to give up if your HP is too high, or they are lulled into a false sense of security (aka get lazy and play around) when your HP is relatively low. The worse scenario is they go ballistic on you because you have really high HP that they want to wipe out or you are really low and want to finish you off. Asking people for their HP is a sign of giving up IMO. N00bs primarily do it to see if the pain sounds of their saber bumps are actually dealing more than -1hp.

munik Posted August 10, 2002 Share Posted August 10, 2002 "More then enough" That's my stock reply. I will tell them after a fight, if I remember. I don't check the hp meter all the time, and sometimes I'm too busy attacking or defending to take my eyes off, so I honestly don't know. And if I won the fight, then "More then enough" was the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jah Warrior Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Yeah this annoys the hell out of me too, Use your flipping ears man, the models have different pain sounds for different HP levels, learn them and use them. I can pretty much guess to within 5-10 hp. Failing that when people ask i bound a key to say 'Enough to kill you". and another key that says "100/25" this may sound arrogant but hey if these guyus are asking HP? they probably have no clue. Also on my server I have a key bound to broadcast a server message :- "Keep it moving there is a Queue, remember it only takes one hit!!!!" The worst thing with HP? timewasters is the inordinate amount of waiting you end up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaynsaw Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 I always tell the truth because it is a game and all of you talking about punishing harmless chatter are being utterly ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis_Aureus Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 It has nothing to do with punishing people. People who start typing in the middle of a fight generally annoy me. If they do so durring FFA I will juts kill them and tell them how dangerous it is to type durring a fight. Durring a duel I will wait. But regarding the HP I won't tell...

LivingSacrifice Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I never tell. It's very annoying to be dueling and all of a sudden, the other guy stops and starts typing: HP? I also have a key bound "I never tell" Usually they accept this. Except one time I am fighting this guy: Guy: HP? Me: I never tell Guy: HP? Me: I never tell Guy: HP? Me: Look, can we just fight? Guy: your so lame, you suck! We start again, and what did this gain? Nothing!!! except making people wait. I don't like it. If you want to know, kill me.

JediNyt Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I dont tell people my hp in a fight but if they ask for it afterward i tell them. just common courtesy people. knowledge is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis_Aureus Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I never get to look at my HP just before the duel is over. Besides It doesn't matter... if you loose you loose no matter how many HPs the opponent had left. I can't see the reason behind asking really.

Revan Bakr' Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 It is immature to ask a person's health, that's your problem, not theirs. Also, it gives away something that could be used against you, so if you are being asked it is unwise to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaynsaw Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 What? Immature??? Asking a player's health has multiple purposes. One is to guage the effectiveness of your tactics. Two is to learn how accurate your guesses are pertaining to your opponent's condition. Three, it's just a friendly question. "I never tell"... is fair enough. Don't go around calling people immature, idiots, morons, n00bs or what-have-you if they're just asking you a question. I'm not overly concerned with winning, so I always tell. Sometimes, not often, I ask. It gives you an idea of who is better or got lucky or misstepped... and if you're new to the game, it gives you a good concept of how damage is doled out.
