Lol, i remember back when byond 4.0 first came out and the server used to crash all the time, it was awesome when instead of a byond icon that does everything, we just opened dreamseeker directly

Awww I remenber those times in 2007 =3 where even you needed rfx to land a ctr in a rfx user, otherwise you had 3% chance to hit him with it.

Raikiri did assassinate players with low Rfx, but typically non-Rfx builds were pumped full of Int, which was equally as imbalanced since it meant you could easily catch someone's Kawa spot and permanently stun them with Doton Chamber, katons, and whatever else you may have at your disposal. So while it may have been "unfair" for low-Rfx builds who were unprepared (i.e. standing around in Cha), those same types of players typically dominated the 1 vs 1 scenario. You could always go Rfx/Int, and people did, but that meant a pitiful chakra pool, thus no stamina regeneration during fights. So aside from Str being less useful than the other three stats, yes, it was mostly fair. The other three stats were overpowered in their own unique ways, which is in direct contrast to what you see today: pillow fights with stats and jutsus that have been nerfed beyond belief.

As far as the clans, Akimichi, Deidara, and J@shin were added several months before the end of the first wipe. So you really don't have a point there either.

If there was anything that was very, very wrong about this time period, it would be that Bone Harden started off overpowered as all hell and never got nerfed hard enough. The same goes for Bone Sword. But other than that, it was pretty well balanced.
No, just no...
It's okay, I understand you're only upset because of this post: http://s1.zetaboards.com/GOA/single/?p=222936&t=3927103

And after all, you were just a larva back in "those days", my beautiful black butterfly Hokage. I imagine most things seemed imbalanced (mostly overpowered) to a Gater Nara..

Also, if you're going to try and ban me under the guise of filter avoidance, make sure you're banning people who say J@shin. Know what I mean, n|gga?
On second thought, if you need a better reason to ban me, it should be for being cynical. Dozens of accounts have been banned for cynicism, you know. I suppose it's against the rules!
I wasnt a gater nara I was a 2.7 con 2.7 int .6rfx nara medic jutsu spammer... ^o) And I understand very well that being a heavy rfx type outweighed being a non rfx user because no matter how hard you fought at the end of the day you still had c/ds and they still had infinite sword/slash

I still think akimichis were as strong or stronger than kaguyas. One crit from them could completely obliterate a bone harden and they had damage reductions of a battle with the partial boost of a ruthless, oh and don't forget the ability to turn into a giant ball of pwn.

My source would be having both an akimichi and a kaguya of the same level, and finding it considerably easier to kill the same people on the former than the latter.

Seems like we just had a topic like this though.
ah i remember that like it was yesterday i just said something in ooc yet a hyuuga accused me of ezing gave me a good laugh

secondly im sorry but i preferred the fast paced fighting of 1.16 and before compared to any other goa version the current version is just incredibly boring

Im sure most of the people who played during the pre 1.20 days preferred that style of fighting(myself included) even if the game was horribly unbalanced towards rfx and permastunning. Just looking at this pic http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/4004/screenshot1yt41.png makes me recall vivid memories of fights that were both fast paced and long at the same time.

Dammit, i accidentally deleted the pic, oh well.

*edit* replaced the pic, good thing i had it on my old comp still

But anyway, the 20k stamina in gates was almost useless back then due to a bug with drowning(and i had 40k by the time i was level 90), not to mention tai damage was a joke and anti-gate dancing was among the most frustrating thing ive ever encountered in any pvp game , but gates didnt block jutsu use back then, so it was always fun thinking up ways to completely bypass those problems, one of my favorites being my ever-evolving lion combo+ chidori nagashi combos.

I remember desperately trying to land that miraculous Nirvana Fist so I could follow with Wind Sword and try to sneak another move during the Lion Combo or just after it.

Another strong memory was how shocked I was when I found out we wouldn't be able to fight the whole fight in gates anymore :(

I'm pretty sure it was moving in a certain pattern to escape being tai locked by a gater.

There was no such thing as tai locking back then with the ability for tai to miss and punch damage being capped at 150(225 in gate 5). Back then the best gate users were the ones who relied on all their abilities to be good instead of just getting a high str and rfx and holding a. Gate dancing was moving in a pattern to escape being hit at all by the person due to punches happening during the teleport instead of after it and the inability of gates to move you infront of someone moving diagonally back then. My secret to combatting it was using a kunai directly after teleporting, something that only a handful of people ever realized was a good idea.
