Guest xwing guy Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 I think jedi should be able to deflect most laser bolts but not all and if the block a mechs laser bolt they still take damage b/c the force if the bolt still hurts them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imperial Jawa Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 having a chance to block the bolt would be horrible, imho. In good strategy games, devs try and take out every element of chance they can, because if you have to many things decided by chance, than its no longer strategy, and more like gambling.

Darth_Rommel Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 Yeah... jedi are good already- in the movie he take those troops out in like 2 hits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitth'raw'nuruodo Posted August 14, 2001 Author Share Posted August 14, 2001 I like my idea, about how Jedi should have an energy bar. Then when you click the buton they go into deflecting mode and will deflect lasers, but the energy bar continuously goes down when deflecting mode is on. When the bar hits zero the deflecting mode goes off. Or if you want to save energy you can hit the button again to turn of deflect mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer_20000 Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 Originally posted by Compa_Mighty No. No one would kill them. What weapons do Bounty Hunters have? Lasers. They shouldn't be able to block them, they're too good already. Â Actually Bouny hunters use a variety of weapons, one example is thermal detonators, it's pretty hard to block an explosion with a saber, although jedi can use force shields, but I doubt they'll include that in the game.

Guest xwing guy Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 Also remember the cuncussion rifle and rail detonator from JK you couldn't deflect those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTenor Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 Like most people mentioned it should be limited in essence of reduced damage from infantry or some stamina bar. Anyway just checking my avatar if tit works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer_20000 Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 If anyone here has ever played Jedi Power Battles, you know how you can deflect there, and if there is to much sustained firing, you start losing HP, perhaps something like that would be good in GB.

Paragon_Leon Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 it probably can be done, but it will be way too demanding on system specs. imagine a small army of Jedi deflecting.. think of all the calculating taking place at one time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah, I suppose you're right, they should just make so that Jedi have extra resistance against blasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 Originally posted by observer_20000 Yeah, I suppose you're right, they should just make so that Jedi have extra resistance against blasters. Â Why even do that? Why not just let them shake off blasterfire like rain. They did that in the video so I wouldn't be surprised if it happened. My guess though is that Jedi will have armor like units in AoK, but they will have more than norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBOy Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 I think that jedi should be able to deflect laser bolts, but it would tire them out quickly, so they could only do it for a short time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitth'raw'nuruodo Posted August 15, 2001 Author Share Posted August 15, 2001 I made it, really! I got the Star Wars card gif from decipher and edited it, took alot of work too. If you'd like a character I'd do one for you too. Just name the character or starship and their prefered orientation. Just pm me anytime! Â Thrawn looks sweet in that pic!

Guest dvader07 Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 I agree that the easiest way to handle this without bringing up too many balance issues would be too give the jedi some sort of defense bonus against blaster fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr. Evil Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 There are good and bad points  Good points They would be the best unit  Bad point They would have to be expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was difficult to do monks at certain point of the game. Now imagine Jedi.  If they deflect lasers, they won't die to anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 I never really found it "difficult" or "pressing" to build monks, mostly i just found t pointless. Let's hope jedi are not the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest God Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 i think if they could deflect lasers it would make them all but invincible. only way would be sending in dewbacks or the equivalent in tech level 4 or mass armies of jedi in level 3 (i guess that is when they apear like in AoK) Â all most everything shoots lasers ecept mabye villager (suaside) and mounted units.

Guest Boba Rhett Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 Guys, they wont be able to deflect all the blaster bolts. If they have more than one person firing at them they can't block all the shots so they wouldn't at all be invincible. And just because the're Jedi doesn't mean that they can't miss bolts.

brashin994511587246518 Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 it would be so cheap and lame to just have a "bonus" for laser hits. it was awsome in force commander. shots from a few troops would always be deflected but if there were a lot of troops some wouldn't get blocked and when that happens the jedi get damaged (and badly at that).

Guest Gamma732 Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 Its not like Jedi will be able to shake off AT-AT lasers like their nothing It should be a bonous or chance to block non-bounty hunter infantry laser fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dvader07 Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 If they are going to be able to block laser fire, then they should be able to block all kinds of laser fire. If we are going to talk about a chance to block then it should be more difficult to block mech fire or Bounty Hunter fire. It would be cheap if tey couldn't block bounty hunter fire but block regular infantry fire. However, I think that this just gets too complicated, and I would rather see the developers put more time into other details other than this. It is really, in the end a very inconsiquential thing. They should (imho) just give the jedi a defense bonus against certain fire or leave them with extremely high hp and move on to some other more important development things.

Mitth'raw'nuruodo Posted August 16, 2001 Author Share Posted August 16, 2001 It would be pretty bogus if jedi couldn't deflect lasers. They should just be able to deflect less lasers the more guys there are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
