Could be argued that you're proving you can't win without asking other people to follow your rules. As far as I'm concerned, play by whatever rules you want but don't be mad if you lose when someone else doesn't care about your rules.Originally Posted by CoyoteXStarrk Go to original post
I don't think he is saying that at all as a player i don't expect people follow these rules by all means play how you want to play. If my friend can never win by himself why would i go into battle with him if he can't protect himself.Originally Posted by Oni-Nikuya Go to original post
I'll wait out most 1on1s, too, in every mode except Dominion, that is (too hectic of a battlefield to really pay attention to honor :P). I simply do that because I'm still learning, and I get nothing out of killing somebody 2on1. Also, I made the experience that I can beat nearly every player matchmaking throws me against anyway, IF I put my head to it and use my full potential. Especially if they just had to kill one of my teammates, they are probably not even at full HP. So I mostly wait, EXCEPT for when my teammate asks me for help (ping is very good for that).
That's just how I fare personally though, no need to make rules for everybody.
*Honor Not Required.
As long as hacks and exploits aren't involved, ****s fine with me.
If your knocked off a ledge, you deserved it due to poor positioning.
If you run out of stamina, you deserve it due to poor resource management.
If your executed, you deserve it for not finding a way to deny it (jumping off a ledge with low hp, letting bleeds, etc kill you), and allowing yourself to have a heavy landed on you.
If your AFK in the matchmaker and lose, you REALLY kinda deserved it. Unless your house is on fire or your wife is having a baby.
Trash talk is ok, but be prepared to have said talk stuffed down your throat.
Spamming the same attacks is ok, but be prepared to be predicted and turned against/counterplayed for playing like an idiot.
Hate Mail just means they have personal insecurities, they may go ahead and send it and prove that they have such insecurities.
Rage-Quitting gives me a free easy *** bot-game to get easy steel and exp from. Should probably impact win-rate and matchmaking tho.
Basically the honly dishonorobuh on familry things that exist are exploitation of hacks and exploits imho. But as a dark souls nerd, even exploits can be excused if they require a very high skill cap to accomplish and you can see them coming from a mile away and have a means to counter them.
In 2v2 mode, I will jump in on the last opponent. If people want a 1v1 -- play 1v1. I'll stay out of it only if the team mate says so. It's a war. A battle. There are no rules, only those that you are bound to by the environment and tools at your disposal. There is honour in death, as well. Just die quickly, and quietly. May the best man win.
In general I will let the 1v1 play out unless asked. Honestly I like to observe it and learn my potential enemy playstyle to gain an advantage or even let my friend know why and how he made a critical error to get better. If the enemy team does not honor it then all bets are off and its on with no BS.
As for the OP and "Don't Execute" that will never happen. If you leave yourself open for a heavy you deserve it and I don't know WHO I am fighting and revives are a bigger potential problem then hurting someones pride because you beat them. Feel bad? Learn from your mistake and GET BETTER to return the favor.
1 Last thing too. I consider myself after closed and open beta's to be pretty decent at this game and in being the 1 in a 2v1 I have turned around multiple times and won because of revenge to players who are not smart and too eager to "Win" one point of advice is remember SOMETIMES its not smart to rush in knowing you are giving your enemy Super Armor and a massive attack boost potentially screwing over your ally and loosing the match because of your lack of patience. Know what class you are attacking because waiting actually maybe the better option
I always thought that the unspoken rules were.
- rub it in like a boss
- shove'em off a ledge
- if they can't counter guard break, flame them with 'git gud!'
- stay near ledges to force a draw
- shank'em and run away
- spam light attacks and laugh at them while doing it
- rub it in like a boss.
- fight in groups vs. single players
- rub it in again.
Those who seek or enforce honour, can never obtain it, for to seek honour is not honourable.
From the tenets of Bushido;
Honour (名誉 )
Warriors have only one judge of honor and character, and this is themselves. Decisions they make and how these decisions are carried out is a reflection of whom they truly are. You cannot hide from yourself.
Others, like many in this thread , dishonour themselves at every step.
