Why join skirmishes if you don't want to fight?

I don't like how the map w ith all the colors on it favors casters, then the map with the boat favors warriors/other melee.

Dont complain when that map is made for casters. JacobBurkey has superjumped on the top of the flag on the boat map hoping I would climb the ladders so he could tremor me off. I have just waited it out and eventually he comes down out of pure boredom. Trust me they will come out. Also dont you have some sort of AOE? Oh yeah its fucking pulse and you can just sit outside or on the stairs and keep pulsing. Boom! free dmg on them

I don't superjump up to there to watch you come up and tremor you off, I do it because you start ranting it /shout and crying about it. I don't come down because I'm bored, I come down to catch you off-guard. I should say I'm just using smart tatics!

I remember that time you said you were as good as wonderbuck. i laughed so hard i cried. then i shit on you in a skirmish. true story
You are probably the worst wizard on the server and wonder is like a mentor to me, of course I strive to be as good as him.

I'm not going to reply with anything worthwhile to any of this. I can point out contradictions to nearly everything that everyone has said, but I need to remind myself that the majority of you are children and can't even comprehend the first step in argumentation. Keep taking your hands off the keyboard and mouse until the meal comes to you. Easily the most outside-of-the-box strategy I've ever seen, and super hard to pull off. Now that skirmishes are 6 minutes long it should be a real doozy.

The skirmishes were intended to be for "practice" only. I will be adding more maps to be played, the 6+ maps that were added are waiting in the Arena queue :)

/arena join
/skirmish join
/bg join
/dm join

I'll be reviewing the maps that the community wants to add and adding them in :) Fret not!

This thread makes me sad. Not to say that I haven't gotten mad at people (I'm guilty too), but there is too much hate here. When I get mad at other people, I remember that it's the community that makes this game so fun - so let's attempt to be civil.

If they don't want to fight, then it's fine. They can stay up in the spawn area. You could call it a tactic - I mostly agree that it is a legitimate tactic. You should be able to use any part of the map to your advantage. If there is something unfair about the map, change the map - don't get mad at people for using parts of the map to their advantage. As a caster, we have ranged skills that we can use so that we don't have to charge into the spawn room. If you get close enough, you can usually excite the melee spec enough, and they'll charge out. It's just another dimension of combat.

Has this been added to /arena join already? I joined 6 arena matches and they were all the old maps.

Remove the soulsand? Fine. Do whatever you have to, to change these spawn wimps. Pussying out of a practice mechanic lol.

The only time I fall for it is when they remain still, and I think I got an easy and boring afk opponent.

Instead I have a boring and stupid opponent, who has sacrificed position so he can camp his own spawn and at best draw. If he doesn't leave, we draw. If he does leave I shoot him, and since I have placed myself exactly where I want to be for his class, he loses.

Edit: with new time limits, I look forward to /shouting with PCmonkey, Uin, and the others for 6 minutes at a time before each draw.

I'm not disagreeing with you that the map is too caster oriented, however pulse doesn't have a long enough range to reach up the stairs

You're mad because you cant kill a warrior/melee spec that doesn't charge at you but rather waits for you to charge at him.... BRO YOU'RE A WIZZARD@#!#!!@ OP BURST! Why the hell would i want to get kited for days???? The maps are all kite friendly so ranged vs melee is pretty much a win-lose situation man.

Maybe if you want to fight a wizard in the starting area, you should run over to my side and have to jump up each block one by one so i can get the upper hand and peg you with a fireball or root you.

I don't think anybody should do something out of their way to give you an advantage. Is it a broken system? Maybe.

If you don't want to go to their starting area wait for them outside. Is ending in a tie because nobody took damage really so bad?
