Regardless of his items, there is no credit for you from that fight.

The mere fact that he didn't give him a chance to defend himself or establish a decent counter attack deserves credit. Its not as easy to do as a hunter than it is with a warlock or marksman. Maybe I just suck with my hunter but I was impressed with this fight. The fact that there were no environmental obstacles around is irrelevant because it could have worked equally in Paddy's favor if he lost control of the fight.

It's quite rare to find a 1 v 1 in RO and I usually win them. You have a problem with me for no apparent reason, even made threads about me, accusing me of glitching attack speed; this post is just more rage at me for no apparent reason.

I agree with this, but I don't play thinking "I'm the best hunter in Alsius".. I play for fun and sometimes I record for my friends to see how I play, or others. I have 47 subscribers at this moment, and over 16,000 video views for my videos, so clearly I'm doing something right. Please, if you feel the need to be a douche even though you clearly pointed out you DIDN'T watch the video/clip, take your comments elsewhere.

It was a fight, I saw he buffed all his defense skills at once and took advantage of that. I don't see the point coming out of camo when a marks is fully buffed, it would be a silly, maybe arrogant move on my part if i did. I don't mean this in an argumentative way, I'm just trying to explain. As for the fight with Pwnography, he reacted to the one resist I got. He probably buffed SOTW way too early, but it's still a hunter vs marks in open field, give me a little credit, lol.

Either way, I appreciate all feedback (except from Freeverse, in this case :/), and thank everyone who watched. Next time I make a solo video, i'll put plenty of effort into it.

Regards.

All meant was that it competitive game so you have to expect some scrutiny regardless of age, disability, ambition and what not.
Im really sorry that some involuntary participants have to be evaluated to determine how much or little skill that were involved in some scenarios.
Nevertheless, I think it quite interesting and very entertaining as long as none is offensive against anyone.
To think that you are good or even the best hardly makes you an asshole, it quality I think many successful people have regardless what they do.

When sotw end he is still confused and Monday still have plenty of time left on his defensive buffs, he would need keep him disabled with a long chain of CCs and still be in a very bad spot since he only have like 1/5 hps.
His ambush was resisted, and maybe It would have been smarter with a stun.

I think it would have been fair, even if not smart form a tactical point of view.

PvPs are ment to be somewhat fair and challanging, otherwise i just dont see the point.

Sure this was one was much better than the first pvp in the video (you dont do anything wrong then either, its just not very fair), it not your fault that you resisted.

Pwanografy is certainly to blame for making it way to easy on you, casting sotw first is a huge mistake in open field, then he have to choose between getting CCed and confused or take his chances with LP.
You are quick to stun him after LP, after that its all over. Still GJ, but as I said the fight would have easily gone sour if that BoW would have worked.

You'd be surprised, but i don't have a problem. Not with you. It's not personal. I just don't like this arrogance, represented by people like you/Lightningg/Tigerous and some more.
Ever heard about such a thing as modesty?

I didn't make a thread about you. I made a thread about "some hunter, with an extraordinary casting speed". I did not mention you by name. Then you came along, and said: "hey, i'm Monday, you're talking bout me".
This makes a small difference, don't you think?

You really have a problem with your ego, my friend.

Where do you see rage?
In the first part i only suggest, that you guys skip the parts where you get killed (even by such - put a word of your choice - like me.)

The second part was adressed to pieceofmeat, not to you. Maybe i shouldn't comment situations i'm not involved in, but i wanted to show the bigger picture. It's not only competition in RO. This is a game. Just pixels on the screen. And the whole noob/pro-segregation is something that makes me feel like being back in the kindergarten.

Can you please quote the passages where Monday's words lacks modesty? I can't seem to find it no matter how much times I read through them.

I approve of this. I do, however, disagree with your view of me as an egotist lol. It's just a game, I make videos for fun and for friends; I also watch others videos to see how they play, and even to learn a thing or two. I don't have ads for my videos and I don't earn anything from them (Money or Ximeran, for example).

I assumed the thread was about me because I met you around that time, even including you in my video around that time; I also talked to some of my Syrtis friends who said you were complaining about me, accusing me of hacking cast speed and even run speed.

I do apologise for commenting on the paragraph that wasn't directed towards me, I didn't read the quote; i'm quite tired.

paddy doesnt have a big ego, and if he does he hides it well
if you think paddy has a big ego i dont know what you would say about certain goats..
(not implying that goats are the only ones with big egos or that there are many)


loved the vid paddy, always fun to watch you're gameplay ^^
kudos to matrim for explaining himself nicely {but i just dont like watching marks vids srry}

Thats why im being extra critical and like to see something special from these video clips.

Good reactions and otherwise flawless game play is nice to see, but to be impressive it takes a bit more.

I then started kiting, knight stopped chasing, barb took up his place instead. I think the conj just appreciated that I had a bit of skill and clapped then walked away haha. Almost a perfect clip imo.

exactly :P

I guess this demands a comment from me to clarify the situation, so we understand each others' points of view.
What you described took place indeed and to be honest when i wrote that thread 2 months ago i was pretty sure, that you cheat - until i watched carefully that part of your video where we met.
Blame it on the lags.
Blame it on the ping.
Blame it on the fps.
Blame it on satanic intervention.
I really don't know HOW that happened, but fact is, that what i saw on the screen when i was playing was completely different from what was in your vid.
Just to mention: wrong distance between us or almost instant casting of skills that need 1 sec etc.
I accused you because that day i pvp'ed other players and i did not notice any abnormalities. Fact is that i didn't experience such things before or after, but fact is also - what happened on my screen and what happened on your screen in that vid are two completely different perspectives.
