Sarn Arena Etiquette?

What is this thread becoming?

Rlowe, they're talking about a bunch of sweaty dudes on top of each other, you got a problem with that?

Huehue

Old man Ahfack remembers seeing UFC 1 right after it came out on VHS (be kind rewind). My parents reserved it for me at Blockbuster. My friends and I watched it and I'd never seen anything like Royce Gracie before. He destroyed everyone and changed the fucking game of MMA.

^Sums it up pretty good I think about the early days.

Keep in mind, this was tournament style. Where, you win a bout and you fight another guy. They weren't a 1-and-done fight like they are today. UFC is complete garbage now.

brazilian jui jitsu(or however its written) in UFC is like pathfinder in pvp.

it's too good.

cheating.

hahaha, nah it didn't stand the test of time. It was extremely effective in the first 3 (I think) UFC's because it took time for people to realize how important ground game was in MMA. Up until that point it was boxing/muay thai/sumo and shit like that. BJJ came in and made people completely overhaul their training.

The only difference between UFC and gay porn is those shorts.

I disagree, BJJ and grappling look totally manly.

Templar/marauder MMA fight must look like that <3

Wow, just wow.

WTF does this have to do with PvP?

The Gracies WERE legit.

However, although I may have had some training in BJJ, I don't think I'd fair too well against anyone from the Gracie clan in a fair fight.

Handguns.

God Bless America.

...was. wrestling then took over after wrestlers learned sub defense, but it's since become mostly balanced, with the obvious exception of north american mma (ie: ufc) using garbage rules that cater toward wrestlers (cage, 5 minute rounds, no 4 point attack, no upkicks, etc).

on a related note, i hope rizin does well and tries to be competitive.


edit: oops, ahfack already sorta covered this.


and dammit, head_less, you should have used the motivational one...

but fighting IS pvp?

Hahahaha that's awesome. Haven't seen that.

As one of the "PvE-scrubs" or whatever my kind is called, I usually try to stay quiet and complete my leo daily on my own. The only times I ask for help is when either there's only one other player with me in the arena, or if I simply can't complete it on my own because of whatever reason (mostly spawncamping people).
Someone asked what reason non-PvP players have to level leo... this is just speaking for myself, but Leo's hideout is my absolute favourite.
Yes, you might argue that PvE guys simply don't deserve living there, but imo gating hideouts behind master progression is BS enough as is. The only thing that seems to be rarer than dedicated PvP players these days seem to be dedicated hideout designers/artists/architects. I think it's a real shame that pretty much every hideout I enter for trading purposes is the same old elreon/haku hideout with only masters and crafting benches.
I really want to do something awesome with Leo's hideout one day, but so far it always failed due to the following reasons: not enough favour to get all the decorations I want, not enough master progression to get certain extremely awesome decorations (ok, that one's completely my fault, I admit) and people preventing me from doing leo daily missions that are needed to get the hideout.
Also, as for getting the mods from services: I heard that SSF guys don't really like that option. And honestly, I don't like them either. Most of the time you can choose between paying a fee to get stuff done or you get scammed. Or both.

I just hope that one day either there are multiple arenas (casual, hipster build and dedicated pvp with actual leaderboard and leo progression or even price items like the labyrinth has), or that hideouts and decorations get seperated from master progression. Or both. Both at once would be fine aswell.
