Guest GL_Raptor Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 I realize that this is already set in stone but it would be cool if, instead of having tons of armor, jedi had a %chance to deflect blaster bolts and saber attacks. Would make things more realistic (I use the term loosely) and it would look really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boba Rhett Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 Yeah, I totally agree. It would be an awesome way for the jedi to hit far off targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 Yeah, it would be cool if the bolts still did damge like normal, but they were randomly deflected off. If one of these deflected bolts happened to hit an enemy unit wihtin a range, then it would take half the damage of the orignal laser. Or something like that...

Guest dlayers Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 Don't Jedi already 'deflect' blaster bolts?...not in the sense you guys are talking about, but laser fire doesn't always hurt them and it's assumed they deflected it (even though there's no animation to show them deflecting it). I thought I read that somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 like all things, this most likely could have been done, but wasn't because of sheer game-speed. such a thing requires serious calculations if you have an army of Jedi marching up against blasters. The trick is to have the game running as fast as you can with as much happening on screen as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WC_heavyarms Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 That would be awesome to see, and with the higher the status of the jedi, the higher the ability to deflect blasts. That would be pretty cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibalscipio Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 That's GREAT idea! It would be awesome to see the Jedi deflecting bolts back in their opponent's faces! Maybe they could have a bonus versus s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GL_Raptor Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 There are advantages and disadvantages. Certainly the calculations would be significant but nowadays it could probably be done without TOO much loss of speed. Maybe not though. The armor does in a way show deflection as each bolt doesn't do as much damage, but it just isn't the same. I still think that it would be a great feature if it could be done.

Guest WC_heavyarms Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 I also think it would decreasethe framerate because those bolts go really fast and to have them shooting from lots of jedi like that can seriously drop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maul403 Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 they already have plenty of pierce armor/dura armor...so if they dont deflect blaster bolts thats fine.....i do however like Tie Guy's idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
