Wizard Running Style of Play


1|2

AuthorWizard Running Style of Play
Ok, I know this is a style of play but...

To me its unethical. If the wizard can't manage to win other then running away. He doesnt deserve to win. The style of play should be called into : Badsportmanship.

In any sport, Ive never seen a time who leads trying to play in their Zone, slow playing, running away, for as much as a full period, only to get victory. They would be called off from the fans and the league for sure and be fined for badsportmanship. Same here. Opinions ?
Try playing wizard and attack with gargs, it'd be great tactic :P
My last PvP ambush was against a wizard. He kept running and running for about 30 minutes. My zombies would have never reached his genies or gargoyles. Good thing he got bored and stopped running.
I mean, its making another human bieng obviously lose his time, and get frustrated. I know I got fined for insults when a wizard was playing that way. And Im shocked to see that this style of play is still accepted.
Try playing wizard and you'll understand you have no choice for a different game style.

If the wiz can win then it's fine to run around, in fact it'd be intentional loss if he didn't. If he's doomed to lose then I agree with you that he shouldn't delay.
Actually, all wizards should find a style of play that doesnt include running. If they can't get that, then theres a problem with the game in itself.

Also, if you make people losing his time, at least send a message at the end of the battle to ease the person, that is at least the best thing to do.
i know its so boring and sometimes impossible to catch running wizards
but

there is no other way for a wizard to win without running...
Lol, asking all wizards to change play style is just great :D

Well, convince admins to give better troops to wiz and I promise you no wiz is going to run around.
The world is cruel..Human will do everything for win..no matter what

For wizard, do you think a player is stupid enough to control all his garg and head on to opponent's main attack stack?Unless you are might wizard build.

This is one of the tactics of the game. You can't say it is unethical because garg only can run as they can do nothing at all. Do you think garg still got another option to win instead of run?

I am a knight too, and i chased Garg a lot as well. Do you think running is the best way to win?i think not. If you were lucky, your guardian would burst 2-3 non-stop, then you would have chance to get it.

Besides running, i can't find other way to play as magic wizard

Are you mad? Chill down. Save some gold and build wiz resistance..thats all you can do..reduce the damage to the least so you can survive long enough to chase it
You have very good troops, I just think that people havent since it yet.
I do believe theres another way to win without running.

Might Wizards or Hybrid maybe ?
Ridiculous thread imo. You should be allowed to use whatever tactic you like. Just as much cheating as:

Necro defense and vitality
Elf camping in a corner with trees

Every faction has their play style and I don't consider it unethical however frustrated it makes you at the time. And believe me I have gotten fed up with this run and zap technique as much as the next guy but obviously gargoyles have to run. Otherwise they would get mashed like sunday potatoes.

That one took about one hour...

Yes, I agree with you Dan, that's why I'm playing might, but things won't change IMO, as it's hard to win without running as magic (possible on early levels as there is little difference beetween might and magic stats even in full sets, but not later on), and it looks that few players feel the same as I do.

IMO, there should not be any mana recovery talent; it would not avoid running, but would avoid rudiculously long fights. You want more mana? Fine, get more KN.

Same for +speed mini arts; it makes garg impossible to hit with many units, even more when it comes to +2 speed... Unfortunately, we both know that it won't happen.
So what do you want . . . ?

All Wizards from now on should charge out their gargoyles and let em die just so that they can save their OPPONENTS precious time . . . ?

Hello . . . no one wants to lose a match, does anyone? BTW, there is a human on the other side, who 90% of the time DOES NOT care whether your time is being wasted or not, you can't help it no matter what, it's a natural human tendency to irritate the opponent to attain supremacy. :)
Didn't you hear? No can do that anymore! The neutrals have gotten clever and will not allow you to run anymore. They will move at some point that wherever you go you will be unable to escape them.

So good luck running ;)
demon can fight this with mass of units and high speed

but yeah being run-raped by wiz as knight is probably the saddest experience in this game xD
Sorry Dan this game is not meant 'head-on' style

Like real life, you can't say that you will win a war if you have 10000 soldier..what if I only have 10 soldier but my one nuclear finished your whole army? =))

Enough said. Just accept the way that used to be. Build a Wiz castle to get resistance or just ignore it =)
For all those who think Im mad, you are wrong :P lol and I find it pathetic that you try to defend your point with that.

For all the rest, Im just thinking of gaming time for the one who's chasing the wizard, and if theres another way, well so be it, if not, then it needs to be changed.

As for now, a little apology from Wizards to the one chasing them would benefit this world :P
Sorry for the post #14, I didn't get the point at first, thought was about monsters in map.

Though I agree with your opinion. Wizards are strong enough even as mighty ones, and they even kill you. I would say diminuish the number of Gargs or just their moving speed. Fairer!
So you want to prohibit the only way to play a magic character?

This is a whining topic. If you can't beat wizards, try different tactics.
for Magier:

Check my combat logs, you will see that I havent been beaten by a wizard since a LONG time. So get your fact straight before talking. There surely another way to play as magic and not running.
