perkz Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 when all else fails, look at the trailer it give you no idea what its there for, but anyway. i looked at the trailer again, that blue thingy only appears during the MP scenes, not in SP scenes. And its not always blue - at one point when whoever was playing as Jan - the arc was yellow... Anyway - there ya go -Perkz - confusing the masses

Wraith Nine Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 Hm, problem with the on/off-Theory as far as the trailer is concerned is that in most passages of the trailer Kyle's Lightsaber is lit ,while the blue arc isn't! So in for another theory: There are three states to be witnessed in the trailer: blue arc unlit arc yellow arc According to the interviews there are three lightsaber styles: fast medium strong So maybe the arc mirrors the chosen fighting stance: i.e. medium probably being unlit and fast and strong being blue and yellow or vice versa !
Chato Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 i think i know what's the code of colours. Look at jan in mp, she making huge swings and slow at the first time we see her... Yellow glow = heavy stance it seems. Later jan again, in dark rage:she's spining and swinging her sabre like a whip... full speed... oh Blue glow = light stance and the "nothing-glow" is surely the normal stance. The strange thing is sometimes we see the saber under that coloured area in the hud, where we see the selected weapon. and i've noticed that there's not always a drawing of the weapon we're using. Dunno why (i hope i've been understood). See ya Chateau Dur
Wraith Nine Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 Exactly what I thought (see above) ! And after reading ChangKahn's statements about being able to switch stances simply by keypress, now i'm almost 100% sure that that's what the circle's for. After all, there has to be some HUD Item to remind u of you're chosen stance and I believe that to be said circle ! Edit: And yes: Blue's got to be fast stance: ChangKahn[Raven]: The fast stance is probably most like chudan because it is best for defense, but it does not point out towards the enemy. The saber is held in front, slightly to the left and tilted toward the upper right so that is crosses diagonally in front of the body - good for a frontal defense and quick, short attacks. In medieval longsword fighting stances, it's probably most equivalent to the pflug guard Now look at the screenshot: Saber in front,slighty left, crosses Body diagonally-> fast stance !
D'akt Sangwar Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 blue arc = fast style yellow arc = medium style red arc = heaaaaavy sloooooow style ( i can never use this thingy ) i always use yelloww

The manuel ? LOL hehe I couldn't believe the amount of thredage before someone figured it out either - it says in the manual dudes! I tend to use yellow most - short swings and stabs in tight spaces.
