Just use the megaupload then.

[Amarll]

Downloading now, will comment/rate after I watch it.

Edit: The download works, but the video crashes my video player every time I try and play it.

Edit2: Interesting video, I watched it through the stream. Was pretty decent, I guess. The shitty quality did not help at all. Overall, I'd give this video a 5/10. Not due to the player, but more-or-less the game. Currently there isn't enough shit in game to really make it interesting and worth-while. Where do you live?

Can't confirm, I just downloaded it from there and it worked without problems. I'll try to look for another host and post the link soon.

Works great for me, awesome video.

[Jozura]

Nice video enjoyed it

Germany, the shitty quality is because the processing of youtube isn't done yet, so it only displayed the low-quality.

In about 30-40 min there will be a HQ version on youtube.



EDIT:
Filefront link coming up in about 20 minutes as well.

[Cyde]

Watched it properly now, looks ok, but I still think thrusting blades are too easy to use... absolutely no aim involved. You can literally spin in circles while attacking and will still hit. I suppose that counts for all weapons atm though. Make it aim-based again imo.

Right on, I'll be sure to re-watch and re-rate. It seemed like delay was almost non-existant for you(lucky bastard).

I live in Texas so the game is currently fucking me up the ass PvP wise. I'm assuming my ping is well over 300 when I play the game. People warp all over my screen, and horses that are literally 10-20 yards away hit me. So PvP is basically unbearable atm. You have a lot smoother performance than I do(latency wise atleast, I get around 40-60FPS average). On the other hand, congratulations with vid2, I think this gives a fair representation about how PvP is really like in MO, and also offers the US players something to look forward too(smooth performance). Keep up the good work, and lets hope that SV adds in more content to actually allow you to make an exciting PvP video that doesn't just show you doing 1-2 things over and over and over again.

[ThaBadMan]

Awesome video, Shara. Cant wait for nr.3

[Rilman]

Yeah nice skills guys, wp.

[Melkorus]

Nice vid, good job on the hybrid

Another toothpick player tho


P.S. How do you always keep TAB and ALT pressed? G15? Neat trick, game should have a toggle to always keep the croshair on, it even looks better with it.

I highly doubt Shara uses the default key for thrust attack.

Of all aiming weapons, thrusting weapons take the most skill to use, you're poking in a straight line, it's not a wide swinging arc. I think the reason it looks too easy is because he's good. I always use thrusting weapons, and I've been using spears since combat beta, and I can tell you they are definetly the hardest melee weapon to aim.

That's utter rubbish. I used thrusting blades through most of open beta, and I assure you there's no skill. You thrust attack, then if the player isn't where you attacked you sweep round. You have a second or so in which to sweep the mouse on your target and you WILL hit for full damage.

[grasthard]

nice video, but still the Thrusting blades though

old habitudes die hard i see


ps: finally non-metal music. way more enjoyable

[KaylaL]

awws, some wicked eye candy Shara hun... as normal

[Stranger_BL]

Good video, enjoyed it. Good PvP Shara.

[Lerdoc]

Loved the ending.

Confirmed. This hasn't been changed. You can attack and move your cursor and hit whatever is around, until your spear/sword is brought back in.

Regardless, nice video! Especially killing Amon.

lolwut

You can't do this with a swinging weapon ?

[phulekiller]

LOL thrusters needing skill???

heh yea, you can, and luckily, with a swinging weapon it's automatic because it does all the swinging for you.

So, like I said, nomatter how easy it is to use a thrusting weapon, a swinging weapon is still easier to land a hit with. All you do is get someone on your screen, and within range, and you WILL hit. You can't say the same for thrusting weapons, if they are on the corner of your screen, and you attack without skilled aiming, you will miss.... So swinging=hit anything on the screen within range, and thrusting=only hit things infront of your weapon

Your so full of shit. Do you even play this game?

[Maciver]

I enjoyed that. Nice pvp guys.

I already read the magic books, but when i saw the no weapon msg, I said meh. Time to give it another chance, haha.

[Incarnadine]

I think the reason people say thrusting weapons are easier to use, is because (I'm guessing from my experience) there seems to be less delay from attack to land, swinging weapons have a little delay from when you let go of the attack (if your holding to aim, or if you just click) and landing. Also the wind up for attacks aswell seems shorter. But that just seems like it to me, I could be wrong.

And thrusters do seem quite a bit easier to use then non. Again, opinion.

[Jonte912]

why is your character thrusting "left-handedly" ? :/ guessing all are but WHY?!

[Replacement]

I must say you are pretty skilled.

I'd love to go out and fight with you one day.

[Rictof]

Looks like your tab crosshairs are always displayed throughout the entire video. Is this intentional or is it a bug?

[Airfell]

Ahh, that battle where you guys too 0 damage from steel blades?

The cross fire in the pic shows the normal output with us in the same armor as them:
DMG count

Mind you, full stats.

[Stirius]

Maybe he is skilled but also a coward. Attacking naked guy skilling up creature control, oh, that must take some courage to kill him - me. Gratz for this! :-)

I have nothing personal against you but some kind of dignity from you would be nice...

[Goon83]

Yeah the tab view always up.. Is a bit suspect.

Gives a decent advantage, how did you do that?

[Stubben]

Good job Henrik! your combat testing team of noobs during the last phase of the beta sure balanced weapons alright! not like the pokers are still the best thing to use!

good video.
butthurt people are butthurt

[Muloch]

I dig it, nice work.

Its a bug in game anyone can do it without 3rd party help( could be intended for all I know ). Aside from that macro will do it. G15, or macro software, etc.

I wouldnt go as far as to say you can hit anything on your screen with a 2 hander, like tyrant has said. Bit exaggerated. The weapons since release are all having some weakness, getting more balanced. Axe is good damage, but alot of handle hits. 2hand sword less dmg, less handle hits, good swing arc. Pokers, decent dmg, fast, hardly any handle hits, but no swing arc.

I think theres actually room for personal preference now?! Holy shit, lol.

So while I think you guys have valid arguments, you can perform well with a few weapons now. And im sure theres more, that we havent tested yet. Tempted to try alot of things now. Poleaxes, hammers etc. Stuff we never would use before.

Do I think any of them are over powered? Not really.

[Akai]

nice video, and good work on the Hybrid build - im kindof curious what skills it involves to make both magic and melle effective, but im guessing you guys arent about to spill :P

The problem is you can manually arc with them, if the person goes off your screen while you're attacking, just turn, you'll most likely hit them.

Thrusting blades are basically a manually arcing weapon (possibly easier than an arc that you don't control) there are barely any handle hits, they are fast, good damage, lots of weak spots.
Still overpowered? Yes. At least they require 200 skill points though.

One handed pokers with a shield though: If you want to save skillpoints, these are still the weapon of choice imo. Less range, and less time to manually arc. Less damage too. But the shield often mitigates attacks to 0 damage - that and the huge number of weakspots and speed make it outdo a 2 handed weapon such as greatblade and axe.

well not really. i don't know if is a bug or what, but you can do it very simply pressing and holding tab. in the meanwhile you press left shift. then release tab and shift and it will stay there on screen

i do it with my lousy keyboard which look pretty much like this.
so there is no need for illegal 3rd party or strange stuff.
also it doesn't give you any real advantage more than any normal crosshair (which pretty everyone who goes for pvp is using)

why 200? i was using them at 100% dmg with just the sword skill in beta
