Poor choice of music had to turn off
The mechanics in the game can be used however. If these things arent 'intended' then it wiuld have been bug-fixed a long time ago. It becomes a part of the game the longer its' utilized. Please stop calling this dude a cheater its crazy.
I need to get my pc going. im sure the server could use a spec war mage! My mage was named packing spells in soul claim in ac.
This video was very helpful. I had to search for up some of the places because I didn't know where they exactly were, but I eventually found what I needed, so thank you.
From what I can tell by the keystroke diagram, your methods are quite different from tiny dex's. I haven't been able to master either. Obviously, these skills are hard earned. I see far more comments on your channel from impressed players who are able to comprehend and admire your mastery as well as the same in Discords and Reddit. Your time (and mental health) might be better served addressing this part of your audience than the handful of complainers who insist on remaining a couple decades behind the meta.
Hey Waves! Great video, I appreciated the link to the animation break video. Could you recommend any videos for slide casting/playing 2hands on keyboard?
i'm a holtburg guy but i'll lifestone in shoushi for atw
Waves literally rising over the turmoil to explain its ok to be great at the version of asherons call we're lucky to have in 2025. Thank you boss, keep up the great work!
Did Ash ended back to early 2010?
bs slidecasting was very COMMON with high end players in AC during retail. its a git gud moment. Now I know Im a filthy casual slidecasting/animation breaking is hard af and I cant do it. But good on you for beiing able too. At the very least yall gotta learn to jump around! sometimes its the only thing between you and character death.
I was so addicted to this game back in the day. My girl friend at the time (now my wife) claims that in the middle of the night I woke her up and said "Here take this armor" and then I went back to sleep. I don't remember doing that. We still laugh when we think of this memory.
Are you ok, bud?
Came back to making videos without his chill.
THEY WERE ANIMATION BREAKING, BROTHER
sounds like something a cheater would say. slide casting and animation breaking was how you played on darktide back in the day. I can't do it as good as you and never could haha
Love the skill displayed when jump-cancelling as caster or archer, any similar tricks for a melee player to up their game?
yeah, you can jump to cancel melee swings too, as soon as the animation comes out. you can jump cancel a heal kit while standing in place, into a buffered swing, if you time it right. to skip the animation of healing and go straight to attacking when you land
I always wondered what the formula was for shields that makes them so OP. Because its not like just putting on another piece of armor, its way more than that it seems. On another note, when you jump around to slide cast/animation break, how do you not slow down to a crawl? I thought if you jump too much in succession this happens? Are you doing some kind of reset? Turbine patched out rapid jumping/bunny hopping shortly after the game launched to prevent abuse, or so I had thought.
yeah I think the surprising thing is how effective a shield is without the skill being trained as far as jumping, there's no limit on it in the emulator
Great question about shields. How shields fit in the overall calculation here sounds super interesting. It's definitely more than just another slot for armor level increase.
something I didn't get a chance to explain in the vid: the reason you don't see shields often or hear about them being so overpowered dual wielding with a high offhand mod allows you to easily evade almost everything in the game so while shields are insane, these VR gromnies with overpower are one of the only endgame use cases for them however, before 180 / without all the gear to evade or even if you're going no melee D shields will absolutely trivialize any melee encounter thanks for watching
interesting, had no idea shields were that powerful! thanks for the tip
yeah they are normally somewhat obsolete because of dual wielding's offhand property. having a high melee D offhand allows you to evade nearly everything in the game. viridian rise enemies have a chance to overpower, which means a guaranteed hit through your melee D. VR gromnies are basically the only thing in the game I wouldn't dual wield for
You are breaking the game. It's just cheating.
already explained in another comment. almost every single player on pve servers uses some form of unintended gameplay or animation break whether it's jumping to run faster or canceling a heal kit. there's no difference in what I'm doing
@meltbeam You play however you want man, but don't delude yourself. You absolutely are breaking the game. Not playing with the intended design mechanics. You even acknowledge it when describing it. Animation break. Breaking the game.
@@aronziegler1814 and so is everyone else on pve servers. heal kit cancel is an animation break and everyone does it have you ever seen smash melee? according to your definition, every single player that plays that game is cheating. and it's one of the most beloved and highest skill ceiling fighting games ever. players at the highest level of skill use what's available to them in any game.
@meltbeam You put out these last 2 videos specifically to get people to disagree. I do. You will not be able to convince me otherwise. Like I said already, you play however you want. I watched your videos before this, and I'll still watch after. I enjoy your content, I just don't agree with you on this one take. I hope you have a great day, and please keep up the good work.
watching you play is like watching Da vinci and over here I'm drooling on crayons Edit: Can you make an animation canceling guide? I've watched vids on powersliding etc when I was younger but I still suck
hey, I'd like to eventually. much requested one for sure. as you can see from this comments section though it's a little controversial. for now, tiny_dex on youtube has a guide on it
@meltbeam Right on, ty man!
I miss when mages didn't need melee d. The good old days
Keep this type of content coming! Very cerebral and intellectual...things I've personally never thought of in AC. Well done!
This is pretty accurate
In my opinion, you're glitching the game. When you're jumping around and avoiding things that's called cheating, isn'edit? I played the game when it first came aunt. No summoning's nothing like that... watching ya play, it's cheating.
almost every player on a pve server jumps with a healing kit. the difference? it's easy enough for them to do. there's no difference in what I do. they're also animation breaking. this is just a higher level of skill. so if I'm cheating, every player who cancels a heal kit with a jump (almost everybody) is too
It's an exploit with the code for the emulators that was supposed to be fixed to match retail but never happened. In retail hoping around a lot would basically Dsync your character planting you in place and preventing any action until you were resync'ed with where the server thought you were supposed to be.
If PVP Missle D is the strongest.
in summary: melee D is underrated broken, stronger than summoning on a lot of content. I did 30 legendary quests without any gear whatsoever except for melee D mods there's a ton of content average players could easily do with melee D that they couldn't with no melee D + summons. conventional gameplay without summoning is boring and one dimensional only void has some minor decision making to the combat summoning adds choices to a game where there otherwise are none. aiming them has its own skill ceiling. what debuffs do I apply? how much debuff is needed, or can I take over with weapon damage? after which debuffs do I drop the summons? summoning is a welcome extra dimension to combat in a game where the combat otherwise is just auto-attacking the league designers on levistras, who haven't played at this level, seem to have a personal crusade against summoning for whatever reason. it is generally much harder to play without melee D + shield but with summoning, and is more than enough of a player power tradeoff no melee D + summoning is just a much more skillful setup, less of a boring slog it's the best version of AC combat thanks for watching
You're only talking white servers, right? No PVP
yeah correct
So awesome to hear about this - as someone who spent a lot of his teenage years in the world of Dereth but having very limited time to play now a days I’d still love to dive back into AC.
its a no ucm server.
Dude what! Asheron's Call! Such a throwback and makes me emotional actually.. I didn't know it came back!!!
You must go through alot of spacebars😂
it is a work in progress but I wanted to show especially toward end of the video just how easy it is to manipulate these olthoi by turning just a little thanks for watching
Great video! I have never seen someone jump like you do and it works so well! You are playing 2 hands on the keyboard? What button is jump?
damn. my childhood. this was the first game i ever played on pc. crazy its still goin.
same, this was pretty much my introduction to PC gaming when I was very young. thanks for watching
It’s not. It’s a private server
I can't tell you the wave of nostalgia I got from opening this video. I spent daysssss in this dungeon during retail leveling up and forgot how much I had committed it to memory until this very moment.
this would have been cool in 2004 but we live in 2024 and no amount of nostalgia can bring back the past, even despite the lack of any good rpg's at the moment
There is about 3k ish people playing AC emulators in 2025.
surprised stannokor isnt bad mouthing you for jumping so much
Hey Waves, ive been thinking about booting up AC again. I have a handful of hours total to play games a week. What server do you recommend? I was on Harvustbud
levistras or daralet. both are no-macroing servers (with some use of vtank allowed for quality of life). levistras is aimed at retail accuracy, so will have all of the vanilla content pre-shutdown in 2017. daralet is a classic server with a lot of interesting custom changes. it's in open beta atm.
Dude this is unreal
As usual you're on another level atw... absolutely amazing
Flame Volley V; probably the only part i would've managed aswell…
Interresting :D
Sundering server has an Item you can get unlimited dispel gem use
Is it like Seedsow with the old weapon skills and 126 max level?
it's a bit like seedsow as far as early world state but much of the content is custom / reimagined. the level soft cap in the beta is 50 but there's more content planned
WOW A WAY TO PLAY AC!!!
let me know what you think if you try it links are in the description
Thank you so much for the Asheron's Call content!
what kind of salvage/buff did you get on your trinket ? ty !
it the only you have on both your character, i assume its good .. lol
using diamond for damage on my main combat trinket, swapping to a pyreal imbued trinket which gives extra xp + luminance for turn ins
Wooooo
Keep up the good stuff, just found ya hoping it's not too late to see more Asherons call content.
thanks, plan on some videos this holiday. appreciate the watch
@@meltbeam gotta say all the servers seem to be dead or abandoned.
@@TooLegitToQuitLoL I wouldn't say so. levistras is where I'm recording these and I'm solo by choice but there's a good number of players in all level ranges active there. they do RTW and hoshino fortress every night (endgame stuff). I've been playing on daralet lately, which is a custom classic server in open beta, super promising, I'd recommend checking it out
