Did you know that Pixy is so powerful that in order to limit his power ZoS had to seperate his character into TWO beings. The off spring from this separation had very little damaging power, but was hard to kill. They called him Blinxey. True Story, I read it on the internet!3 -

yeah if you watch other people play or if you see their videos youll see how their movement is just so basic compared to someone like pixy or sypher or sabre ali. just the way they move around and strafe and dodge roll and are always consciously making an effort to be behind you makes you feel helpless sometimes when fighting them. theres just never a second where youll see them standing still casting or be able to ever catch them completely offguard. at least thats the biggest difference i notice when watching those guys play compared to most everyone else.
i rarely make serious posts and am usually just trying to be as troll as possible, but i will definitely come out of chatacter for a minute to give pixy/sypher/sabre ali props for being such good players.6 -

read "tryhard" as someone who plays the game and uses every tool/advantage in the game to come out on top.
Note also, you say no offense... but then use tryhards in a derogatory way.... I bolded examples of both your insane lack of understanding of the game (such as what buffs can/cannot stack) and where you are being basically exactly what you claim not to be.... insulting him. If you're wondering why you lose (and for some reason still think you're a better player) its because you don't even understand the mechanics of buff stacking, its not the pots my friend... at least you were right on one thing... you are indeed not an expert on this game so why are you commenting on a mechanic in game available to everyone, but clearly don't understand?
My favorite part is the whole: oh well on a matter of principle I don't use pots because I'm just a better player that gets through by practice. I mean no offense by this.... but you sound like a player that uses excuses as a crutch to me.
Further edits: You seem to feel for some reason or implying potions are unfair if your opponent isn't using them and that Pixy or others can do things that you normally couldn't without them. Guess what, potions are a mechanic in game and if you decide on "principle" to not use them, you are only hurting yourself. The whole point pixy is using tri pots is to make up for a deficiency in his build, by using pots he can focus other utility in his build on other things (such as your comment that he doesn't need to put any points into stamina because of his pots).... THATS THE WHOLE FREAKING POINT. This is PvP, if you decide to not use a mechanic in game thats your loss. It's like not wearing armor because its unfair if one guy has legendary gear compared to someone with green gear.... thats your fault, its an asinine point.
That's where you're wrong. It's a matter of principal, and I'm telling.Earendal - AD Templar

Fully support that but I also hate everyone equally ^_^ if it wasnt for players like them I wouldnt of started to dislike everything so much that I myself would one day "L2P" in my own way that would bother people

✭We need all the pixyls! finish them.one thing ive noticed is that i don't pay attention to game mechanics pretty much when i play
Potion's got reworked in 1.6 to not stack with buffs. Tripots give 20% regen which is based on your build. They aren't giving us more damage, just resource management. but having said that i think i'm awesome cos i can edit other folks quotes , see what i did there?
if you kill people a lot you get bags full of money to spend on gold gear and potions. I have 1 million gold and stacks of pots from pvping, should i just not used them out of some honor code? this is RVR, if you aren'y using a 45 second cooldown potion (that lasts for 40-45 seconds), your missing out.
no i appreciate if you pvp like its your job ( hence the term try hards ) you may well have enough money rolling around to perma chug pots. i would hazzard a guess that most folk you kill are indeed missing out as you say by not blowing a stack of tri pots every hour or so..
This could be for a variety of reasons. perhaps they don't pvp like a pro for 8 hours a day and money is less plentiful. perhaps they are still trying to level up and save for those pricey morag tong, MK bits, perhaps and here's one to really get your head around they just are like " meh this is a game who gives a toss"
So be sure that most folk you kill while perma potioned up are indeed missing out on doing likewise
but to clarify, your saying tri pots only give regen? hmm i might not be the expert on game mechanics you seem to be but dont they drop like over 5k on all 3 resources instantly as well as the regen? thats pretty powerfull. lets sorcs keep blocking way longer than should be stricly possible with their zero points in stamina (pretty good for survival) drop a big self heal and top off their magika to let them keep pew pew , add the regen and its like a second ultimate button every 45 seconds,
now your saying weapon power /spell power pots done stack with buffs since 1.6 ? what does that mean exactly , ? your saying they dont stack with your armour buffs of just cast buffs like surge or molten (old molten) if they do stack with armour then they are indeed a huge buff.
if a pot adds 300 weapon / spell damage thats not a negligable amount , its fairly sizable.
but hey i,m not saying you guys shouldnt use them , do whatever makes you feel uber man , for me its a matter of principal. every MMO has had some form of consumables, they have them cos it lets them implement crafting of said things as well as being time/ money sinks that keep folk playing longer.
i just dont buy into it. ive got lots of money and all crafting profs maxed. stack of pots in the bank, that i never use. i sell some if i need money which hasn't occured much really. I just don't like being sucked into feeling it's necessary for me to have fun in pvp.
all i was doing was making an observation that every video one of you tryhards posts, features perma pots running, all the nice combat addons.. which imo i,ll be happy to see the back of on consoles , cos my experience of console pvp is that there even thr try hards don't feel the need for such things , they just go ahead and kill stuff and get better at it through practice knowing that when the die its cos they lost to a better player or when they win they won through being better, not cos they had access to unlimited pots , and addons shouting POTION READY
to make sure they dont go more thn a millisecond without a potion buffing them by a large amount.

i wasnt using tryhard in a derogatory way,, nor do i take any credit for making the term up , its fairly common to describe those that really take the whole pvp thing ultra serious and like posting videos and congratulating each other on how uber they are...
now dont paraphrase what i say either. i didnt say they were unfair at any point did i ? i said i choose not to use them , nothing more nothing less. or am i not entitled to an opinion? i also made no mention of how good bad or indifrent at pvp i am , but perhaps a moderate leap of logic might lead you to believe i don't really care, i just roll around and have fun .. cos like its a game and i don't need any validation from others telling me i,m good or not.
i think potion spamming while utterly fair and in the game hurt every MMO' they have ever been a part of , i explained why i understand they exist , so i won't go over that again. and yes i dont claim to be an authority on the game,, i dont know where you read me claiming i was perhaps you could point that out to me?
and this forum section is alliance war if i,m not mistaken , not tryhard ego stoking experts only. a private section for the 5% of the player base who take it just that seriously is it? which would mean i don't need to be an expert to be allowed an opinion.
so perhaps you can read a little more carefully before you get all upset and start ranting about things i never actually said.
my observation was simply that , i check out the videos folk post here, and just observe,, that every single one ive seen posted, ALL have the same combat addons running and spam pots of one type or another everytime POTION READY appears in big noticable helpfull writing.
now everyone says they dont even notice that , but they must really trully be awesome if while fighting and all that scrolling text flying around they manage to hit that potion button within a millisecond of the timer running out on pure instinct.
what would impress me would be someone running around wrecking folk with neither the addons running or using perma pots... then i would be the first to doff my cap to them.

i'm fully aware of the term derogatory, i could do the whole thing of pasting in the dictionary description but that would be derogatory imo..
lets just agree its a subjective term, you might take a sentence as being derogatory when that might not have been the intent.

✭one thing ive noticed with all you guys who make videos , is the constants. use of spell/weapon power pots.. thats nothing against you personally .
now whats the buff from those pots? 300 or something like that?
if it is its like having an extra set of MK or similar morag tong .. which is really significant.. i cant help but wonder how many of those fights you wouldn't look so uber if you wern't chugging pots to give you such a big chunk of extra damage all the time..
then in between those theres the tri pots as well . tri pots for try hards i guess. always gonna be try hards in every pvp game . but i actually hope when console comes round the console try hards dont adopt pot chugging.
they wont have all the combat addons telling them what to do and when , and most console try hards are used to not having to spam pots constantly .. they simply win or lose based on how they play.
This is one of the same guys posting in all the Nerf Sorc threads too. I don't know what I'd do without my addons telling me what to do all the time. Crap! Someone is beaming me, WHAT DooOO!!!??
What the wise seek is in themselves, what the fool seeks is in others.
Confucius
what i will add is that the OP pixy has earned my respect by taking my comments as no personnal slur or attack on her which was never my intent. I have said the same about other videos as well, making no attempt to slur anyones skill as a player.
a pity some others lack the same attitude and seek to attack or belittle.

This could be for a variety of reasons. perhaps they don't pvp like a pro for 8 hours a day and money is less plentiful. perhaps they are still trying to level up and save for those pricey morag tong, MK bits, perhaps and here's one to really get your head around they just are like " meh this is a game who gives a toss"
So be sure that most folk you kill while perma potioned up are indeed missing out on doing likewise
but to clarify, your saying tri pots only give regen? hmm i might not be the expert on game mechanics you seem to be but dont they drop like over 5k on all 3 resources instantly as well as the regen? thats pretty powerfull. lets sorcs keep blocking way longer than should be stricly possible with their zero points in stamina (pretty good for survival) drop a big self heal and top off their magika to let them keep pew pew , add the regen and its like a second ultimate button every 45 seconds,
now your saying weapon power /spell power pots done stack with buffs since 1.6 ? what does that mean exactly , ? your saying they dont stack with your armour buffs of just cast buffs like surge or molten (old molten) if they do stack with armour then they are indeed a huge buff.
if a pot adds 300 weapon / spell damage thats not a negligable amount , its fairly sizable.
but hey i,m not saying you guys shouldnt use them , do whatever makes you feel uber man , for me its a matter of principal. every MMO has had some form of consumables, they have them cos it lets them implement crafting of said things as well as being time/ money sinks that keep folk playing longer.
i just dont buy into it. ive got lots of money and all crafting profs maxed. stack of pots in the bank, that i never use. i sell some if i need money which hasn't occured much really. I just don't like being sucked into feeling it's necessary for me to have fun in pvp.
all i was doing was making an observation that every video one of you tryhards posts, features perma pots running, all the nice combat addons.. which imo i,ll be happy to see the back of on consoles , cos my experience of console pvp is that there even thr try hards don't feel the need for such things , they just go ahead and kill stuff and get better at it through practice knowing that when the die its cos they lost to a better player or when they win they won through being better, not cos they had access to unlimited pots , and addons shouting POTION READY
to make sure they dont go more thn a millisecond without a potion buffing them by a large amount.
read "tryhard" as someone who plays the game and uses every tool/advantage in the game to come out on top.
Note also, you say no offense... but then use tryhards in a derogatory way.... I bolded examples of both your insane lack of understanding of the game (such as what buffs can/cannot stack) and where you are being basically exactly what you claim not to be.... insulting him. If you're wondering why you lose (and for some reason still think you're a better player) its because you don't even understand the mechanics of buff stacking, its not the pots my friend... at least you were right on one thing... you are indeed not an expert on this game so why are you commenting on a mechanic in game available to everyone, but clearly don't understand?
My favorite part is the whole: oh well on a matter of principle I don't use pots because I'm just a better player that gets through by practice. I mean no offense by this.... but you sound like a player that uses excuses as a crutch to me.
Further edits: You seem to feel for some reason or implying potions are unfair if your opponent isn't using them and that Pixy or others can do things that you normally couldn't without them. Guess what, potions are a mechanic in game and if you decide on "principle" to not use them, you are only hurting yourself. The whole point pixy is using tri pots is to make up for a deficiency in his build, by using pots he can focus other utility in his build on other things (such as your comment that he doesn't need to put any points into stamina because of his pots).... THATS THE WHOLE FREAKING POINT. This is PvP, if you decide to not use a mechanic in game thats your loss. It's like not wearing armor because its unfair if one guy has legendary gear compared to someone with green gear.... thats your fault, its an asinine point.
i wasnt using tryhard in a derogatory way,, nor do i take any credit for making the term up , its fairly common to describe those that really take the whole pvp thing ultra serious and like posting videos and congratulating each other on how uber they are...
now dont paraphrase what i say either. i didnt say they were unfair at any point did i ? i said i choose not to use them , nothing more nothing less. or am i not entitled to an opinion? i also made no mention of how good bad or indifrent at pvp i am , but perhaps a moderate leap of logic might lead you to believe i don't really care, i just roll around and have fun .. cos like its a game and i don't need any validation from others telling me i,m good or not.
i think potion spamming while utterly fair and in the game hurt every MMO' they have ever been a part of , i explained why i understand they exist , so i won't go over that again. and yes i dont claim to be an authority on the game,, i dont know where you read me claiming i was perhaps you could point that out to me?
and this forum section is alliance war if i,m not mistaken , not tryhard ego stoking experts only. a private section for the 5% of the player base who take it just that seriously is it? which would mean i don't need to be an expert to be allowed an opinion.
so perhaps you can read a little more carefully before you get all upset and start ranting about things i never actually said.
my observation was simply that , i check out the videos folk post here, and just observe,, that every single one ive seen posted, ALL have the same combat addons running and spam pots of one type or another everytime POTION READY appears in big noticable helpfull writing.
now everyone says they dont even notice that , but they must really trully be awesome if while fighting and all that scrolling text flying around they manage to hit that potion button within a millisecond of the timer running out on pure instinct.
what would impress me would be someone running around wrecking folk with neither the addons running or using perma pots... then i would be the first to doff my cap to them.
We need that Yoda meme.
Also, did you ever think players might look on their potion cooldown and plan ahead in resource management? Could explain how they mysteriously always know when a potion is ready, hm ?
And there are players with almost no addons. And no potions.

✭We need all the pixyls! finish them.one thing ive noticed is that i don't pay attention to game mechanics pretty much when i play
Potion's got reworked in 1.6 to not stack with buffs. Tripots give 20% regen which is based on your build. They aren't giving us more damage, just resource management. but having said that i think i'm awesome cos i can edit other folks quotes , see what i did there?
if you kill people a lot you get bags full of money to spend on gold gear and potions. I have 1 million gold and stacks of pots from pvping, should i just not used them out of some honor code? this is RVR, if you aren'y using a 45 second cooldown potion (that lasts for 40-45 seconds), your missing out.

thanks for the link, your right , this guy seems to be very effective without the addons and pots... can't say anything but well played. respect.
more videos like that would be good imo. it would perhaps encourage the feeling that addons and potion spam while all well and good are NOT mandatory to be good.

✭here,s a thing about addons.
an example of where they change the use of certain skills completely. the sorcerer helper addon. the way it gives you visual notification of when frags procs.
i noticed that from videos so stuck it on myself to see how it works. Now if i,m right (excuse me if i,m not 100% accurate as i claim no uber level of expertise) when the devs made frags, they gave no visual indication of when it procs.
to me that meant they created and balanced the skill with the intent that the proc was a free insta cast which is a powefull random proc. but without the visual que you would still try to cast the skill and just hope it was procced giving you the instant cast.. if you got it it was a nice boost in dps but you couldn't be sure so would use the skill mostly as intended expecting you might need time to cast it fully.
now with the addon telling you when its procced its completely changed the way its used.. all of a sudden its just a skill you fire when you know its procced and are certain its going to be instant. you can even make sure you fire a mage guild like entropy to boost the damage of the frag knowing your gonna get that instant nuke off.
to me thats an addon completely altered the way the skill works from the original intention , otherwise they would have designed it to have a visual que in the first place.
lets say templars had a passive that meant there was a 10% chance channelled skills would fire off as an instant. but the balance was you had no visual que , but then comes an addon that tells you when the passive has procced, all of a sudden every templar knows exactly when to hit the jesus beam knowing its procced and will dump all its damage instantly..
thats a big buff to that passive which the devs never put in the game but would have been created by use of a combat addon..
just seems like the devs let their promise slide from beta where they said they wern't going to allow combat addons..

well it was very easy to miss unlike a big box that pops up telling you its procced and counting down how long you have to fire it instantly,, same as with the shield timers... very helpfull to have a big box telling you how long eactly before it drops.
noticing all these things without the big boxes were how the game was designed. missing them could well be what makes the diffrence in the heat of a big battle. but alot of that has been negated by these addons imo..
i dont expect everyone to agree, i'm just expressing an opinion.
