Unspoken rules of for honor. | Forums

Why not jump in and apply pressure to a foe that can't manage his/her stamina, it's their fault.
I personal think that cutting their head is less offensive than spamming gesture.

Honor is determined by winners. And how you win is no matter of honor at all. Win and be honourable or die worthless. That is all.

"Honor is determined by winners"? History, yes, but not honor. Philosophy and ethics try to define such things on a general level. When I win a game through dishonorable behavior, and everybody knows, I, the winner, won't be able to ever change this - except for when I win really big, and get to the point where I decide what history books say.

You can't tell people how to play a game - if the rules you put forth were the intention of the creators they would have made systems to enforce them. All you are doing is just imposing restrictions no one agreed to and getting mad when people don't follow them. Stop being a spoiled brat yelling at kids for playing with toys wrong and just play the game. The ancestor spirits of samurais, knights, and vikings aren't going to come down and congratulate you for fighting a certain way. You want to have honor that's fine and when someone guard break fishes you off the map guess what - that's fine to; no one likes losing especially when they feel like they're the better player but that's how the game works and the sooner you understand that the less salty you will be.

See, I learned that there are two types of people: People who play to win, and people who play for amusement. I know examples out of both groups. Please don't tell people how to play, they have no right to tell you, either.


BTW, I had some very good games with what one would call honorable opponents. I'd even say there's not less of them than the try hards that want to win no matter what. I myself will continue to play honorable and have fun watching what other people will do. You will never hear me complain about your playstyle, ever (although I might comment some way or another, but never whiny or "you have no honor!"). It is sooo satisfying though to kick those guys who run and only jump you in numbers up and down the bridge or the castle courtyard. Also, I always grin when I play my 2nd or 3rd round against an opponent, he sees me and simply starts to run This one will never get old.

*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.

If you win your 1 v 1 then give your teammate to do the same. \


Otherwise you and your teammate are just scrubs who can''t win the match on their own skill.



There are no excuses. If you gang up on the enemy then you confirm the fact you are incapable of winning on your own.


End of story.

Never understood this mentality. Just because a team uses their numbers advantage against you doesn't make them bad... all it means is they are using the most effective tactics to secure their win, don't get salty because the enemy team didn't handicap themselves to follow your silly made up rules. Especially when there is a 1v1 mode for a reason

Besides, I often enjoy fighting multiple people at once, I feel it's very good dodging/block practice because you have to focus on defense instead of offense until you build up that revenge.

And f*** those, who want to play for fun.

[Shukr4n]

basically u can reasume it like "if i am bad at playing leaving my teammate 2v1 it is opponent's fault to use my noobness to his advantage"

[BornDominator37]

I think this can be simplified for everyone who wants to argue this, just don't be an ******* to people. It ruins the game. Play it fair, if someone can handle a 2v1, fine. But don't shield bash, run away, shield bash, etc. We all know those people. Just don't be a ****. I don't want to see the players and community of this game turn into cancer.
