Hello everybody!!! I was just curious how everybody feels about people stopping to talk during the middle of a duel. It personally doesn't bother me but I didn't know whether it upset anyone or not. Please comment on this! Thank you!! :)

true, but you shouldn't stop a duel to chat, if you can get far away to talk and the guy could easily run up and hit you. perhaps your typing too much..

Yea, if you talk in a duel without properly distancing yourself, it's your fault for getting hit with your chat box up.

If you're a massive distance apart and you get hit, the other guy's a jerk. lol.

Here's my lok at it. If you want to comment on a good attack or say a quick hi or bye. Great. Just keep in mind I lag and won't necessarily see the box above your head before my rdfa starts and I have no way to stop myself from slaughtering you.

I'll chat if i'm feeling casual or want to throw some humor in the situation. depends on how intense the duel partner is. If your duel partner is really into it, then act professional and polite, if it's a more relaxed situation, i figure you can do what you want.

I would be delighted to accept your offer Acey, I like taunting on IRC, if only I didn't write so slowly and have this annoying thing where I HAVE to go back and change all the misspellings (not a word on my spelling from you! :P)...

hehe..just a Thought, but i hearby offer a challenge to anyone out there. If you have played the old "curse of monkey island" games, you've noticed the fighting in that as Insult fighting.

So i'd like to offer the challenge out there to anyone who can beat me in a taunt fight. which i've done once before against a guy trying to kill me seriously in a duel. it was the time when zero( i think it was) was being silly and kept dueling a guy he wanted to beat. he died, and i stepped in and challenge the guy (sorry i forgot your name). He was good. and could beat me easily, especially with my ping, but i lasted about 2 mins or so, I pushed my advantage, and during a jump i'd quickly open the chat, type something silly and keep going, in the end he killed me after getting annoyed and loosing his cool during the duel, thats what gave me the advantage. anyway, i hearby offer the challenge to see who can beat me..ehhe..

well...talking during Duels. where shall I start.

yes i do actually do it myself, but it's nothing serious, and only to give other gamers a smile. don't get what I mean, where here's an example.

1 time online, Silent Whisper and myself were dueling in the old trial room, the enclosed one. and she wouldn't attack, and i was only strafing back and forth. this went on for a few minutes, so I though what the hell. stopped..turn my back to her, looked down and typed " **wiggles Ass** ". after that and a few more strafes, we went straight back into it and she beat me. *shrugs*

I play this game for fun, and if there is a comment you wish to make during your fight. not anything important, just something your character would do...Bind it to a key so you dont' take up time typeing it. another example Javaguy has bound and puts up before each duel "I'd like to dedicate this duel to my mom". To me I think that's great. plus I have a few of my own that i do during duels. all which are bound so as not to loose the flow of it. If you want to know them duel me and you'll find out.

So in closeing i'd like to say. This is a game. there are some who take it seriously, and others that come for the community for it. I myself come for the fun and Community, and yes I am serious at times..well sometimes, but not most of them.

so i say there is nothing wrong with a small bound sentence during a duel. if you want to talk go to a chat room or don't duel, and others should respect it. don't try to talk to someone dueling.

its fine as long as they dont get mad at you for nailing them right as they go into the console; besides, sometimes there may be a reson to pause or disscuse a tatctic, idea or "personal" rule of duals. however, it can be irritating if they stop to have a long chat with someone who isnt involved in the fight or if its being done to avoid having to take responsibility for a loss.

Usually it doesn't bother me, but when someone constantly just stops, opens the chat box, and takes about a minute to type the word "hp", it gets annoying.

I agree it is just a game, but that doesn't mean I have to put up with someone being rude. So if you frequently talk when I'm dueling you, I probably won't be dueling you again ;)

I have to agree with what Chicka posted. Very well stated. :) Where this is only a game, to others it can be more then that. Not saying that's my case or anything, but I have friends who are very competitive and I know that this type of action would upset them greatly. Just my opinion, but I feel we should try to look out for all of the people that play a serious game. :) Just trying to keep the peace in the Jedi Academy. I love this place!!! :) Koyi ;)
