Blamer Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Hello, I haven't been around here in a long time...but I was a big fan of ProMod in JO. The saber fighting was pure gameplay bliss, but for some reason interest died out and the servers disappeared. I could never go back to the mindless slashing and random hit detection of 1.04, and I simply left the game. Does anyone know if the saber fighting -- which seems more like Jedimod, the bane of all fun in multiplayer -- is going to be adjusted for multiplayer? Is Artifex still alive, in case the default multiplayer does end up like 1.04 on crack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 JO 1.04 combat wasn't mindless in the least, but I guess you'll be saddened to hear JA is very much like it. I suppose Artifex will be here to save the day as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blamer Posted September 8, 2003 Author Share Posted September 8, 2003 Okay, mindless was not the right word. I agree that there was strategy in 1.04, but to me it was not fun at all...mostly because damage was too low and the auto-blocking was way over the top...to the point of unconditionally penalizing the attacker. For the record, I did not like 1.02 red stance spamming or 1.03 backstabs either. I liked ProMod because it gave you a consistent system of how likely you were to block, and how your stance, aim and position affected your defense and offense. It was much more like a professionally made fighting game...that's what I like to play, and what I think a saber combat system should be like. So...it would make my day if Artifex appeared on here, announcing that he was going to port his mod...but I suspect that's not going to happen.

MattJedi Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Hey dude I was also a big fan of Promod. For me everything I liked in promod has gotten even better in JA, saber fighting is excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blamer Posted September 8, 2003 Author Share Posted September 8, 2003 Okay...I'll give the demo more of a try, I honestly haven't played it much yet. But with the idea of "no major changes, just more moves" I get pretty nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 My advice to you: Get the demo and try it out yourself. Sure, it's not Multiplayer but it should give you a general idea of how things may be in the full version. I talked to Artifex briefly and he's very curious about Siege Mode, so if it's not to his liking, I'm sure he'll have something to say about it. ; ) As far as saber damage is concerned, there was always SaberDamageScale 2 you know, and the blockprobabilities cvar.

boinga1 Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 It has been said that there will be different saber damages for Duels and FFA, and I sure as heck hope that's true. But, if it's not, I can handle it, I'll still play JA SP and MP like mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
