PC Sparring - 2

Higbey · 11-25-2011

Does that really give them that much a advantage? Moving diagonally?

Players on iPod move as if they have a lv3 shield (0.6 tiles a step).
Players on PC move 0.5 or 0.6, depending on their shield.

PC players can also hold down more buttons, which can allow for strafing. (Which is more of an intimidation tactic)

Unsure of the hit detection on iPod, but by default the hit detection is clientside, meaning latency is your shield and sword. (I prefer a 0.3 second delay myself, anything less than that generally results in both people getting hit at the same time).

The lazy triggeraction methods are different, instead of a target "running into you", you have to nail them on your screen for them to get damaged (regardless of what they see).

Seems like you don't own a destroyed 2G ipod, 5 minute battery life, terrible FPS and haven't experienced the crappy controls.

lol

Yeah it does actually. They can get around the player easier and make themselves look cornered, but pull off that trick.

As long as PC is around, I don't think that's possible.

Not for some people. Not everyone can tolerate sparring anymore ever since the PC was introduced. There are always loads of complaints from people about it. I'm surprised it's not only aloud on the Facebook server like they do for the guild spar tourneys.

There isn't really any difference. Playerworlds was around of like a decade beofore the mobile apps, so people have had that much longer to perfect their sparring, and feel more comfortable with PC.

There is a major difference control and screen wise.

I've just been sparring for the last few hours and there does seem to be an increase in laggy people sparring.

The only extra screen you see is the chairs on PC in the battle arena....

I remember Tort and Zeromus would intentionally run torrents and modem tap during spars to create a sporadic lag that only they would be used to sparring in (Ie: swing and run around randomly).

In guild spar that screen is very useful.
