I have no problem with food,pots or a skill(Uruk heal,Mt) but im not into fighting anyone with store bought anything and brands in general.

Says the guy with the store-bought name, running around with Stun Immunity 24/7.

It's just my opinion but bought skills for low ranks these days (maybe it was different a year or 2 or 5 ago) are needed, unfortunately.

If things were more balanced and lowbie Creeps could survive in the 'moors (like say, lvl 55 minnies) then I would agree with not needing skills from the store... but let's not sh** ourselves, it's a struggle for even the higher ranks.

So again, if you can point out exactly how Freeps are disadvantaged from store bought skills then maybe i'll change my opinion but until then... I'm not buying it. You can out DPS/heal/CC/ect.. we're just TRYING to survive 90% of the time.

But coming from someone who has used the bridge pillar exploit... don't be surprised if no one cares about your woes.

But... did you not get fully focused, burn hot and then spam Improved Pen Shot? You know better then most the power of that combo so...

Oh and one other thing... the spam tracking: Enough already! If it continues the way it has for the past week or two a Warg pack will be put together and you or whomever it is that's doing it will end up being targeted NONSTOP by the same group of Wargs. If you've never had this done to you, trust me... it doesn't look like a whole lotta fun. So consider yourself warned.. and please spread the word to your fellow Huntards

Tracking to see who's in the area is fine but when my screen says nothing but "You Feel As Though You Are Being Followed..." a line has been crossed, IMO. And instead of logging off (as has been the case) I will revert to a 14 year old boy (sorry Metal ;p) and take pleasure in seeing that poor Hunter (whomever he or she may be) try and leave the rez circle... again and again and again. Until that individual gets it through their thick skull that it might be time to settle down with the relentless tracking.

The same applies to Wargs. There is no need to even track someone unless they're either running away or turtle'd up in a keep. Why in Gods name would I want to tip the player off that i'm in the area? It's a 2-way street and I would encourage you or anyone else to try and do the same to get that person to ease up with the tracking.

p.s.. good fights yesterday Arm and Gil.. kind of a weird spot but it didn't get interrupted so it was a win. I kept popping myself outta Shadow Howler by accident and unfortunately for me... it usually equals certain death. Not sure why that 1st fight was so even, Armitas... perhaps I need to consult Adieu and Snuke on their Cappy techniques =)

I learned just a few days ago that standing on the pillar might be a bannable offense, I corrected my behavior since. Personnally, i think i got killed more often form there than i killed a creep. And about the tracking thing, last time I tracked you is when you were doing 1v1s with me and zerok and the day after. (2 or 3 weeks ago) When I go on hunting, I usually track the closest creature. I know what being spammed track feels like, trust me.

Moving Target doesnt affect tactical, does it?

Nope. But he couldn't easily land staff strike!

If that's the case then I'm sorry for singling you out.

It's a shame everyone can't see when a Hunter or Warg tracks someone, on their respective sides that is. Then maybe a Vet would step up and tell them to relax with spam tracking the same person over and over... anyone that has had it done to them knows what a PitA it can be.

I'm gonna untrait Enhanced Sense Prey and just go back to using the Hobbit Tracking Tokens from the vendor... unless I'm in a group and they need me to track stealth'd Hunters. But IMO, the 90m isn't really worth it when a Hunter is tracking stealth'd Creeps from 120 or 140m (not sure how far it is.)

Gil.. good fight at GTA yesterday! Probably the longest 1v1 I've had so far... shame more fights don't last longer =(

This is why its hysterical to see BAs use this in 1v1s...

When RK's are hitting for non-crit melee damage of 600-900 (like they are now), dang right I'll use MT.

I dont like store bought skills for one simple reason those long time creeps well before myself EARNED their rank/skills and i find it a slap in the face to them period, thats just my view on it.

Store bought brands/health regen pots are for garbage players who couldnt fight their way out of a paper bag and once again my opinion



Bottom line earn it , dont buy it.

I agree with you 100% on that point. Unfortunately, when I started playing my Warg I had absolutely NO CLUE what was going on out here. The furthest thing from my mind was how Vets were going to feel about some scrub Warg buying skills. Actually, the person who encouraged me to buy skills had been playing since open beta so obviously I took his advice.

Now, had TT been the first person I came in contact with out here I would've at least had someone telling me NOT to buy stuff from the store... although, he does spend all his TP on Crumbling Brands

And I can always remove skills/traits for 1v1's and keep everything at rank (which is nice) but most of the time I'm encouraged by my opponents to use everything I have.. because I sux

Oh please tell me Web didnt talk you into buying your skills LOL

If TT tells you anything run, run fast and dont look back

Nope.. that player shall remain nameless

Hey, he told me you were an alright guy so... although knowing TT he'll probably deny it

You toss the ''storebought'' accusation around a lot, yet can't recognize what skills are bought and what is "normal" gameplay. Tell me, what skills have I bought?

Heck.. you, TT, Web (and i'm guessing Patch) have practically got one foot in the grave already.. while I am sitting at a spring chicken-like 36

Hey It was all Awesome the other Day those fights at GTA well done both sides was fun

Ah I love being young

Awesome 1v1 Mblue but my Butterknife is OP against your Pitchfork. Otherwards Mblue and I got Bored at GTA, I used a Butterknife and Him a Pitchfork in a Spar to See which could Kill the other first

Good fights today at GTA, however it died out because (I assume) of the ganking on both sides. Oh well, Great fights everyone, I know myself I got lots of infamy and had lots of fun tonight!

PS- Esegar and Giledor, such good fights with you two. I think it's one of the first times I actually managed to kill Ese, even if it was a double kb.

Good 2v2 Ames and Elmo

We knew it would be tough, but why not? It was very fun

Yes sir it was sadly we all had to do it with broken legs because of the NPC

Fricken beast of a Defiler didnt know who to target first

Just something I'd like to point out about getting someone to 1v1 you.

It is extremely disrespectful to attack someone if you want him to 1v1 you.

I never declined a fight with anyone, but I will as long as people keep doing that.

I always try to see things from the point of view of a freep and creep, but this is something that usually freeps do.

I'm not sure if it's the "I'm OP" mentality of said minstrels, like "I'm attacking you to get you to 1v1 me, if you don't like it, doesen't matter, I can kill you anyway", but, please, grow up.

Win plus Rep and oh so true

Yes that was a good 2v2...its always good to take a shot at fighting if you can.

As usual Good Fights Today Everyone.. Was Enjoyable on all fronts... Turwe Doesnt Matter What creep You Are on Your always a Beast and its fun to go back and forth between really close fights.

Nice 1v1 with Kraurkul outside TA. We both died at the same time, but I think I might have died a millisecond before you.

So technically you lost JK JK

He or she seems to be along alot

That clown avatar scares me.

Great fights healz, you had me on the first one anyway, sorry you got a little robbed. I changed my strat and got some lucky crits on the second one.

Great fight Elmo, I like those 1v1's that aren't like scheduled, they just happen out in the middle of nowhere.

Awesome fight Double KB for the win , nothing better then a ending like that

This thread needs a bump...

Good fights, Healz!! Had no idea it was you on that Mini. The fight at TRHS was the closest... shame that Hunter had to step in but... he gotz dealt wit (at half health, too)

Next time get that KB before it's stolen from you.

Fought a few others but don't remember the names so... thanks

Good 1v1 to that cappy whose name starts with a R. (I can't remember)First I was like "Okay Manheal, I can deal with that." Then the 15s Last Stand showed up and I was like "Shiz, drop Shadow and switch to Flayer. Kite kite kite!" I won with low morale and Lowki finished me off.

~Fake Jawws.

Best 1v1 in a while. Exciting stuff.
