Monday and Matrim we're back, part 1...

[Carn]

He might have skill, but I don't like the part where he killed me over a dozen times while i was grinding.
Doesn't matter how much you kill him, he just keeps coming back. No idea what he gets from it.

[jesus2]

From Monday's point of view great gameplay, excellent I d say.The guy knows how to use his hunter perfectly but I d love to see him takin part in RvR more frequently rather than PvP.
Matrim Cauthon on the other hand no I cant call that skills.I never saw him casting his defensive buffs on this vid, it looks to me that hes totally relying on his dmg rather than skills of his class.I doubt that if he met a skilled player he d beat him in a PvP (or in RvR situation).Nothing impressive from his side.

Very nice video btw keep it up.Me wantz your PC, the game looks so awesome and smooth hehe.

I agree! Loved the hunter game play. As for matrim, not his fault. Current marksman game play is so boring when you set up for max range, that is of course IMHO. Pew pew pew, winter stroke spam, win.

This video could be a lot better since both these guys can fight well, I guess it would have been better to use some old material than to rush this “we’re back” thing.

It always interesting to see other people fight even if its not really entertaining fights.

Mondays fights,

Starting from camo? fair enough against a fully buffed marksman, but that should be a win everytime unless you get some bad luck.
Edit: Now I even notice that his buffs run out quite quickly after you attack. Sorry, not impressive. This was a pvp?

Plunder must be rusty letting that MoD gank slip out of his hands. Good job Monday.

Against that red marksman, extremely lucky to resist BoW when completely unbuffed in open field.

Kite along beach is of course quite nice, say what you like about the guys chasing.
BCs normals on monday with just evasive for 16-20 dmg (wth, go visit AH), it also interesting that his conju get fed up and decide to let him die in the end. Multirealmer?



Less to comment on Matrims fights, although multiple opponents, many hardly know how to buff themselves, let alone fight.

I think he uses his defenses plenty, maybe not as much as most players would, but you also have to consider that as a marks you need to be more restrictive with your mana consumption, some of his fight are quite long and mana demanding and with more CCs and range, you have less need to go crazy with defensive buffs.

I have no idea how he would fare against better players, maybe we can see that in part 2.

I hope next part will be more interesting, maybe some fights when both you and your opponents do well or maybe even a fight where you cockup completely?

Hello, Monday here.

I started the video idea a week or so ago with Chris (Matrim), but after I started, things in real life took a bit of a turn and I had a lot on my mind.. my motivation to record was quite low.

Regarding your comments; yes it was pvp against cannie. I started from camo because it's a hunters strength, i'm a petless hunter; I could beat marks in pvp without camo, but this marks had an amulet + 2 rings. Also, he wasted all his buffs at once, that's why i left him so long to let them expire soon after my dist landed.

In the fight with the red marks, yes, I resisted his BoW but I'd have reacted to that differently if it hit; I pride myself on being reactive rather than just relying on things to happen.

The kite along the beach actually started in OC - Bonecruser ran from me 1 v 1 to find a knight + that conj, I went in for a close kill, got knocked in sotw, conj survived 3 times with 1 hit left lol, well timed barrier each time. 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. I didn't particularly want that clip to end like that, but it did. Almost a perfect clip imo.

EDIT: I'd just like to also point out i've been away for 2 months; I've only been back now 2 weeks and i'm still quite rusty, lol.

EDIT2: Matrim is banned from these forums so just asked me to leave a message:

Hey guys Matrim here, i'd like to first off thank you all for watching the vid.
I'd like to second off apologise to spine for killing him (though i think it was less than one dozen) you cant trust another realm whilst they're alive and if i left you alive who said you wouldnt come up and SM me to death from behind, nothing personal just a precaution.

So lets get down to it, you guys might be right this might be a little bit rushed and this is the best i could come up with in 4 days (since we started recording to me editing it) Its hard to get good clips now-a-days with syrtis being a zerg that never splits from the herd and ignis being EMPTY.
I don't buff so often because i tend to save that for when i need damage to be reduced unlike some who shit themselves and buff instantly i have to conserve mana and i am an offensive class it is usually spent on CC's and my RA drain. This is what marksman is now since the update, if it was pre update. Anyway i hope you still somewhat enjoyed the video and maybe apreciate it a little more with what little we had over 4 days to post it. Part 2 is going to take a little more time but it will be good

-Also, I've been away for 2 months also. Hence the "we're back"

Love Matrim Cauthon/Gawyn Trakand

[Lebeau]

Both these fellas too OP for most, whether RvR or PvP, & Alsius needs more like them. Chris & Paddy, welcome back!

P.S.: Banned from forums?! Sounds like someone was TOO honest once again. Wonder how long I still got....

[Kitsuni]

I'd like to go hunting with you guys sometime but with my RSI I just can't play on your level. Oh well

Gawyn, I miss the old days when we would fight side by side on our Knights.

I dont get it, you leave him virtually no chance to defend himself.
The only reason he stand there and wait for you is because its a pvp, otherwise he would ran the opposite direction, found a tree or something so he wouldnt be completely defenseless.

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

In the fight with the red marks, yes, I resisted his BoW but I'd have reacted to that differently if it hit; I pride myself on being reactive rather than just relying on things to happen.

Still that dizzy would have made it whole different fight, now instead it set off series of mistakes on his part.

You would take alot of damage just because of the dizzy and could only hope to get out range before his dist+knock combo and even if you did I think he would have been able to keep his composure and dont mess up the way he did now.

Yeah, its great clip no doubt about it.

You may very well be the only hunter on haven that wouldnt just find a tree and camo instead, then again that wouldnt make much of video clip if you did.

BCs normal hits of 20 and that conju refusing to help him, i think his actions and loyalty are questionable to say the least. That is not your problem of course, its great run regardless of the quality and loyalty of the chasing players.

Just put things into perspective, any other hunter and this run wouldnt be possible.

I really dont want to be too harsh with that guy but this is competitive game, his lack of ability is something out of the ordinary, almost beyond comprehension for normal players. I have to assume he have some kind of complications or just being very young or something.
He only managed to shoot two ensnares despite being in range several times, one was resisted early on and one hit just before the bridge. I very much doubt he know how to use very basic stuff like parabolic etc which was good for you.

I didn't watch this one, just like any other vids, but let me guess ... they skipped all the scenes, where they have been killed in 1vs1 and choosed the moments, when they won?

Yes, this is a competitive game, but don't forget the difference between individual players. The youngest player i know ingame is 10 years old, the oldest 50+, although i have heard of another one who is 65. Some people are skilled, some not. Some have big ambitions, others don't. Some play for fun, others for fame. Some rage, when they die, others don't care. Some have lags, others don't. Etc. etc.
From my point of view - it's better to be a completly noob, than an arrogant asshole with a "i'm the best hunter/barb/marks/whatever in Syrtis/Ignis/Alsius"-attitude.
