For duel ranks ets:
As far as Ascotia goes, I beat him attacking or defending. If you really want to get down to it, there are a number of players who pre arrange duels to gain easy exp and move up ranks as was mentioned earlyer in this post. If someone is at the top of the rankings due to these pre arranged duels, and you consider rankings to be all that matters, I find it hard to base much of anything by the rankings.
and everyone knows who the cheaters are, and they are excluded. which I said in my original post. so stop using the fact that their are a few cheaters in the top ranks, to discredit ALL of the rest of us. I have never pre-arranged any duel, and would take serious offense if you ever accused me of it.
On to consistency, as my post nowhere mentioned it being a single duel between two people. I've won a lot more than lost whilst dueling high ranking individuals and I'm ranked 200th? I don't even know.
see again, you didn't even respond to my question. if you walked through the top ranked duelers so easily, what about when you challenged me? I believe the score was 1091 - 0, and you KO'ed. correct me if I'm wrong?
let me put it this way. for every player above you in dueling rank, that you claim to have beaten... I can find a player above you in dueling rank, that can beat you. which is what you would expect, since it is a "rank".
Ranks are nothing but the amount of exp a player has gained, like myself I spend more time doing other things than dueling. Dueling more often dose not make you are a better dueler.
dueling more often certainly does make you a better dueler; getting to know people's patterns, coming up w/ a good "hunting area" in terms of regions with lots of good targets in them... stringing together multiple wins in a single session... there is strategy to all of this. Dueling makes you a whole heck of a lot better of a dueler then working does, I'll guarantee you that.
And when have you ever dueled me before you point fingers, as that was one duel, and you're the one who argues about consistency. Once again it's a lot easier for a soldier to defend with 50-100% increase in tactics.
I used to beat you consistently back when we fought -Raccoon City-, I remember this. recently, I haven't attacked you because usually you aren't even member of a town. and the last time you tried me, remember what happened? (see above)
So say I went and dueled ascotia 10 times and beat him 10 times, who would you say is better?
(not that i'm actually going to do this. I don't even duel anymore. 4 total duels in the past month)
1. yes, if you beat ascotia 10 times in a row, then you would have an argument for saying you are a better dueler. as opposed to what you are currently saying, which is of the form "duel ranks don't mean anything; my opinion is that I'm better then higher ranked duelers" without any form of justification or proof.
2. if you 'dont even duel anymore', then how on earth can you claim, or EVEN KNOW, that you are better then any dueler, let alone some ranked higher then you? see this is what i'm talking about; you are discrediting duel rank in favor of your own unjustified opinion, and you don't even duel. this is the most convoluted bit of logic I've heard as of late. just like when you "complained" that I didn't challenge you the other day, because I got knocked out challenging someone else in TSC first. if you want to "complain" about that, then COME OVER AND CHALLENGE ME. otherwise, be patient and stop complaining.
ok fine whatever. But you regard it pretty dam highly.
if by that you mean I regard it higher then the unsupported unjustified opinion of someone who admits they "dont even duel anymore", then yes I suppose I do. as I've said before, its not the only criterion. but it makes alot more sense then you just throwing shout-outs to yourself and BigPopa
The Top 10 duelers, excluding the 2 that won't be named, deserve their ranks because they have put their time, effort, and energy into dueling. But they also are the ones who have gained the most experience from dueling. That's how the ranks are ranked by, the exp gained. And you're telling me you can't buy gear? Are you serious?
um, what? I said that pure duelers don't get good jobs as quickly in the game, and generally have less $$ because dueling for XP doesn't usually net you money... which would impact what gear you can buy... and that earlier in the game (while you were a happy worker bee), we were slugging it out trying to be the best, and that someone who chooses to go pure dueler is sacrificing, in effect, the better jobs and $$ and gear at earlier levels in order to have all their skill points be allocated into dueling categories
