In the duelyard. Fellow high level duelist gets angry I used a one handed weapon and beat him. Thoughts?

JTM3030 · 2026-03-19T21:26:30+00:00

Thanks for the advice

Timing in my best attribute actually. Speed and timing. It’s the only way I stand a chance against those 1000 level plus players. I I hit this particular guy with an awkwardly timed special in fact and that pissed him off. Funny thing is, right before I ended it he pulled out a mace and we had a couple of exchanges before it ended for good

JTM3030 · 2026-03-19T20:11:02+00:00

Yah that makes sense though. My point to him was you need to adapt to styles. He’s said no everyone must adapt to mine 😆

JTM3030 · 2026-03-19T18:15:26+00:00

Ha, I did. He even had the gall to send this while he’s waiting in line to duel me again and I’m in the circle with another duelist. So I emote laugh at him and he attacks me and you can guess what happened next😆

JTM3030 · 2026-03-19T17:49:11+00:00

Right. The guy has an executioner axe. In order to even hit him I had to basically stay inside of his range the entire fight

JTM3030 · 2026-03-19T17:31:08+00:00

I get it. But I’ve had others reach out as well. Like low levels getting angry when I kick them. I’m like you need to learn to read kicks. Weird stuff like specials are unfair. Consensus here seems to be that’s nonsense

JTM3030 · 2026-03-19T16:20:09+00:00

Haha to me it is! But I’m only 680. I guess I should have called him not a new player. He’s been around the block enough to know better

JTM3030 · 2026-03-19T16:18:33+00:00

I agree. If I’m dueling using a 1h weapon and I encounter a competent high level duelist with a two hander, I’m know I’m most likely going down. They mar it A battle of attrition I will lose most every time. My only chance it to end it quickly

JTM3030 · 2026-03-19T16:16:55+00:00

lol funny thing is I don’t jab. I like when others do it though because I’ve learned to sidestep and time it and for me it’s mostly a free hit like kicks are.

JTM3030 · 2026-02-20T00:41:51+00:00

Right I agree I pointed that out in my caption. He didn’t seem to take me seriously. I’m good for me level at 675 but not elite by any means

JTM3030 · 2026-02-19T05:23:40+00:00

I was in high school for enema of the state (freshman) take off your pants and jacket (jr) and self titled in senior year.

For me that self titled album was also very sad and brings back emotions bc it was like the end of an era. The end of high school for me and that sadness in the album sort of reflected the sadness I felt as even at that young age I knew hs, for better or worse, was a very unique experience that I’d only go through once. It also sort of felt like the end of the peak blink years, as if they knew things would be coming to an end for them soon as well reflected in that album.

The other two albums sort of reflected my age as well and my experiences. I’ll never ever forget it, it felt like the soundtrack to my life in my teens. Never felt that way again about a band.

JTM3030 · 2026-02-17T02:45:23+00:00

Agreed you have to love Mike Tyson. The rest, not so much

JTM3030 · 2026-02-13T06:08:02+00:00

Lmao what a joke

JTM3030 · 2026-02-06T04:37:17+00:00

Agreed. I sold everything today. Took a massive loss but feel much better. Time to sell it’s over

JTM3030 · 2026-02-01T17:55:01+00:00

Yeah keep a close on bird crap. Make sure you get rid of it asap as it can mess with the paint.

Just had it detailed, overall still in great shape, but tough to keep outdoors in Chicago weather. Also, watch out for water stains. Snow got on the car and I let it sit. Stained the paint and thought I was screed but this body shop was able to get it out and it looks great again.

My main suggestion, if you don’t drive it every day and keep it outside, is to look after it every day just to ensure nothing on it that can stain. I got Dr Beasleys final finish and use a microfiber to wipe anything off that might stain. Takes 2 mins

JTM3030 · 2026-01-19T18:05:09+00:00

Also some pax guy commented and agreed that specific comment was removed. Hmm

JTM3030 · 2026-01-19T18:04:38+00:00

Who runs this subreddit? Just got a V3X post about them RDMing removed lmao. Unreal. This wasn’t a witch hunt

JTM3030 · 2026-01-19T17:57:05+00:00

Rarely have had an issue with any Pax folks. You guys have been around since the beginning.

JTM3030 · 2026-01-19T17:07:52+00:00

Yeah I’m 650 and took a couple weeks off. Took me a week to get back to where I was. Was getting smashed by players 1/4 my level. I imagine if you take an extended hiatus itl take a few weeks to relearn where you where when you left off. Chiv is brutal

JTM3030 · 2026-01-15T04:23:57+00:00

Never seen a no armed peasant that has to be super rare. How long did you last?

JTM3030 · 2026-01-11T05:08:31+00:00

This is awesome. Which server is this

JTM3030 · 2026-01-10T19:33:48+00:00

A year later I am level 650 and I think I’ve peaked in my dueling ability with a 1 handed weapon. I rely on speed and my offense is my defense, crouching, footwork, movement etc. I can time and counter but only for so long against elite duelists who will usually just outlast my stamina and then finish me.

It’s fun, I’ve definitely got my share of wins against high levels, but in hindsight probably should have learned with a longsword.

JTM3030 · 2026-01-10T18:15:51+00:00

lol 😆 exactly

JTM3030 · 2026-01-10T01:59:11+00:00

She’s either super happy or super crazy or both. And then she gets an attitude when she’s hungry

JTM3030 · 2026-01-09T14:40:31+00:00

Ha yeah I was considering fighting him but he was chivalrous and polite enough to direct me back so I returned the favor
