and mostly the players listed are all using either Max or High Defense Equipment Or ASI Weapons ....

Auto aim is ok i guess - even though i don't use it, it's easy to tell when someone has it on

If you don't ever show a Full inspect .. most of the time you have something to hide!! Trinkets is part of a normal clean equipment anyone can have them so that's OK too...

so name some of the BEST UV-LESS Lockdown players from T2 or T3 ....
any names listed who does uses UVs, fell free to expose them

Not me, though I cant say I've noticed ANY difference in survival rate with Max Normal on Skolver.

ASI and CTR are really the only things that seems to help at all, otherwise its 4 hits and you are dead.

EDIT: Not counting ping, lag, framerate, and the fail of the server to show how close someone actually is to you when they can hit you across the map with a BTB/FF

kinda silly

this thread is kinda silly. I'd venture to say that anyone who is "serious" about lockdown will eventually collect the godly lockdown UVs, as they'll want to compete at the highest level.

Its almost like asking "who are the best basketball players that never practice?"

OP most likely created this

OP most likely created this thread out of spite. He realized that there are some players with a tremendous amount of skill who he cannot defeat no matter how hard he tries, so he pins it on UV's to justify himself.

"T1 is the only way to measure skill, t3 is all about exploiting OP mechanics"

But you also have to take in the Fact, that 1* Stuff is Incredibly easy to Rage-Craft & doing Missions can get you ASI/CTR: High Stuff. You also got the Hammers & Helmets from the Expansion that made T1 Officially Pay2Win. Unless OOO makes more Elemental Protective 0-1* Items, T1 is Dead to me. It was a fun Run, too...

Yep, UVs make no difference.

Yep, UVs make no difference. Mmmm Hmmm. ASI max toothpick doesn't do a thing. It's all in your head. They just hit you from 40 feet away cause they're smarter then you - don't question it.

While I'm at it, might as well mention toothpick skolver striker being the most difficult class to play - and props to them for getting the most legit damage in the game.

....

k all sarcasm aside

Just picking striker gives you an asi + dmg to swords... so, I guess everyone has UVs?

I suppose you gota wear the ancient set for some self control :)

Most people that don't have UVs on their gear are just in LD to get some coins and leave, so they won't be around long enough to build a reputation. It's also hard to build a reputation when your own toothpick doesn't have phantom gun-like range.

WOW... the title doesn't say "what you think about UVs in Lockdown?? no one is complaining...

All i asked for was Names?? i guess there are a lot of people playing Spiral Knights who cannot read properly....

The Title says:

" Best UV-less Lockdown Players" Is it that difficult to understand??

all this and not even one name listed... -_- forget it!!!

@ Jcasdfqwer -_- really?? no one was complaining... learn to read and understand please and don't spend so much time behind a Keyboard.. it's just a question.. and by judging by all the comments here.. apparently " Best UV-less Lockdown Players" wasn't a simple question

Probably because this thread suffered from the same thing as Liverice's PRIVATE thread on the general discussion.

Good concept, but come on. It doesn't work.

alright, well do you honestly

alright, well do you honestly think there is any non-UV players out there that are better than those with UVs?

Because if so them I'm gonna state right now that I got 21k damage and 7 captures, 5 defends in Ld without UVs

You can't prove me wrong, so I guess as of now I'm the best UV-less player

The point is, no one actually competitively plays LD without UVs, so there IS no player like that. Even if there is, chances of him/her biengv active on the forums is slim to none.

Makes no different ASI or no ASI, Piercing or not.

Considering what Blueflood had said, and I 100% agree, since I've played with and w/ out UVs with same results.
The best players are also the best without UVs.
Check out my list on the linked thread for names.

One of the best lockdown

One of the best lockdown players i've ever met was maydiee. He/she used a sealed sword + a toothpick and only played as a striker. Those matches agnist him/her and the other players were the most fun ones. I think t2 lockdown is my favorite, altought i haven't tried t1 LD yet.

I accept the challenge

Will play and record some random matches without ASI. But does wearing Skolver/Vog count?

Live long and prosper

I don't think he's talking about gear bonuses in this thread, just the extra UVs you get from crafting or punch. Even with this limitation, the field of skilled players mentioned in this post is going to be limited to those with some LD-specific gear. A better question would be: Who are the best proto gear lockdown players?
(ps. I do not have any problem with using your gear to make yourself better, that's what the game is all about and you'd be a fool not to take advantage of it, I'm just spitballing a standard by which skill could be objectively judged)

If you can read this you're to close.

"What do you like better?, apples or oranges?" "Hmmm... APPLES FTW!" "I like Oranges more so...you're a whiner! >:o" "No -_-, its just an opinion"
"Then why do I feel so offendified! D:?!" "Because, I don't agree with you and you"

Anyone believing max uvs

Anyone believing max uvs besides status helps at LD is wrong (Armor and helmet). immunity to mist bombs is all that really matters. although all good LD-players tend to get the defence ones anyway, I am one of them :P i can play without skolver too, any "pro" can.

Nonsense about proto

Why would going at it in proto armour help when most of the "best" lockdown players already use alike loadouts?
My max as proto w/ 5* weapons in T3 LD is 23k. That mean I'm the best? Not even close.

@ Xylka

You not the best for 21k... I got 9 caps and 31k damage without UVs. I'm sure Sciasz would get 40k.
