*Discussion* Strategy behind running away from people the whole game?

You would be surprised at the crazy comebacks you can achieve if you just stay alive long enough and play smart, no matter your gear.

I find it's more stupid for the people chasing me to spend that long chasing me.

What's worse is someone running away. In the water. And they have a fishing rod.

Running could justbe the most use ful ability you have. My story:

I was on sg4 and I was going for the sewers. After my first chest I see a guy with a stone sword. I keep moving, hoping he doesn't care about me. He did -_-.

I starting running and he kept chasing me for about 5 minutes. We ran past the sewers a few times and he just kept chasing me while other people without weapons took all the sewer chests. Some how he didn't care about anything but killing me, and he learned his lesson.

About the third time we ran by he was killed by the guy who got sewers and I to away. I went to a few chests I knew that hadn't been taken and it a weapon. I killed a few people and ended up with pretty good stuff. Using my pvp skills and experience I came back and got refil. I ended up winning the game.

He was probably really angry at me for running the whole game, but in the end it worked. Don't get mad at the people with nothing who run from your stone sword because that could be you running any game. People will do a lot to win, even if it means running the whole game. If someone is running, the joke is on the chaser who is missing a ton of chests, not the runner.

Ps, the guy who was chasing me was spectating and he watched in misery as I won

Unless that noob with nothing on them is secretly concealing two diamonds and a full set of iron armor....

You would probably chase them across the entire map for the entire game, and get your team of 3 to help out, just in case.

Fisting is good too.

Especially if they're named zenoCrafter.

Sigh......

Poor Poor zeno :3

I always run. Forever and ever. Waiting to regen to fight back...
I mean, honestly, nobody is perfect. I can just keep running, regening, fighting, etc...until eventually, they will screw up and I'll get the advantage. Heck, deathmatch can also go very unexpectedly. Never assume the game is an automatic loss, there will almost always be something you can do, and maybe you'll have to run for a while to achieve that thing. Whether it be the water in Breeze Island's corn during deathmatch, the pit in SG5's, the ability to "use" the last person in deathmatch to your advantage, etc...there is always hope. No reason to just give up because you have less gear.

Never give up. You'd be surprised. Running around away from people all game can be worth it, you could still win. Heck, one game, people wanted my points so badly that I was chased from 30 seconds in until deathmatch 15 minutes later. And guess what? Hidden in those pockets of the guy being chased all game was a fair amount of items I never had the chance to put on. I almost won. And you know why I lost? Because after all that, I was pit against egrodo of all people, who was in full iron armor/diamond sword. xD

You cannot stop people from trying to run, and there is absolutely no reason they shouldn't run. Your only choice is to take them down as best you can. Take advantage of alternative routes, edges of the map, buildings to knock them into, properly timed arrows, corners, fishing rods, etc...If you know how, you can catch runners fairly quickly, provided you have what you need and they aren't amazing at running.


Seriously, though, the people I hate more are the people who chase me all game for my points/a single hardly useful item, not the people who run. Running can only benefit you, I've ran for minutes at a time making no attempt to fight back only to find myself later winning because of it, whereas chasing someone who has next to nothing good for you can waste your time and theirs, and is rarely worth it unless they truly have a ton of stuff or you have literally nothing else to be doing.

You and your novels, have you thought about being a writer?

Unless it's somehow worth it. I spent an entire game on Breezeway chasing this guy in the other because he had another iron ingot, which was what I needed to get an iron sword.

I believe I still won, but I realized that I might have wasted my time since I found another iron ingot on the parkour, where I was crafting my sword.
