Default Koreans have an unfair advantage

All their names are the same they just look like @@@@@@ so when you see targeting @@@@@ it gets confusing. On the other hand went into the tournament drew a korean team we had 3 monks me being one game started...from the point of meeting the opposition our 3 monks were dead in 10 seconds.
I was somewhat amazed at the organisation, the fact that they were able to nuke me with me being hit by at least 5 projectiles doin 100 damage each in 3 quarters of a second was something to marvel at. And yes i was right at the back and the range was huge.

Well i find most of the time Americans are quite beatable but Koreans i think every single one is on teamspeak and has spent 2 hours planning before they enter. But yes i'm on europe and my guild is inactive to non-existant i was looking yesterday and the nearest someone else was on was 2 days ago and they are all still level 15 so i'm pretty much forced to join random team which are always filled with 1 person who thinks they are incredibly leet and everyone is noobs, 1 person who always leaves and 1 person who is rambo and somehow dies before anyone else has reached the enemy. So all in all my limited experience of the tournament is somewhat dreary.

Tonight, my team dropped 3 EA casters in the halls in one shot, god that was sad. It just shows how the game can be really fast or really slow depending on the builds and such.

Again see my other post but im putting my name out there as a friendly player - i dont know it all but im willing to help and i dont claim to be uber.

So if want someone to grp with and have a laugh even in Tomb then chuck me a whisper.

This has come about after being fed up with other selfish and l33t players. As you said theres always - i was in beta and therefore i know it all person, one who is mad and runs head first in the centre, and about 2 people pinging and drawing on mini map.

so put my name in buddies list, im more than willing to come try to beat some koreans or US or anyone.

Something i already knew not that i need to being a monk but when 3 people call targets it gets messy. + when people call targets i like to know of their whereabouts instead of just looking at red bar going up and down at side of screen, as suddenly that red bar of that warrior is getting really low and for some reason you are running half way across the map to heal him.

Personally, I think its nothing to brag about. I can trash Koreans because I am one, though Canadian born and raised. But I know the culture enough to know how extreme it is over there; case in point- just look at whole Lineage community- the line between reality and virtual reality is incredibly blurred. The obsession, from rich to poor, to have the latest technical gadgets to fulfill status quo, even if it means being in total debt. I detract....

So, yes, some of these guilds probably do spend hours preparing and honing their skills and strategies to take down the next American guild. But I wouldn' feel too bad. It's probably just a matter of time and experience. But I agree, they probably all of teamspeak, which does give them a definate edge.

I think the French surrender and get the other Europeans to fight for them, then when everyone else is dead or dying they pop up behind everyone and do "their" part. Ofc i'm just kidding.

Okay, then why don't you? Click on anyone's red bar, and it highlights their dot on the radar map. Hit "T" after they call a target, and it highlights the enemy's dot on the radar map. As a monk, I make it a point to know where everyone is, particularly when I see someone run outside of my spell range -- I want to know who it is I shouldn't be attempting to heal (as that will draw me away from the rest of the party, causing three good players to die while I try to save one idiot).

koreans are all about the priest or hero. if theres one guy left he will allways go for your priest if you have one..

it also seems like every korean guy allways bring his res signet. or some kind of res. koreans are obsessed with res's
