Daedlaes Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I hate to use this as my first post, but I have to ask. I was playing last night on Boomtown II. While im in the ffa_nar_shadda level with all the walkways, no less than three times I'd get challenge or be challenged to duels. We'd set it up and run up to a platform. The glow comes up, and we whip out our sabres....and somebody else runs up with a rocket launcher and blasts me, or cuts me down with their strong sabre. The third time, the other guy in my deul got killed by someone with a heavy repeater! I looked all through my manual and everything I read says youre supposed to not be affected by other players while your in a deul! Am I missing something?!

RahnDelSol Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I was wondering about this as well... I was engaged in a duel the other night, and someone ran up behind me. He didn't try to attack, he was standing with his saber drawn, waiting for the winner so he could challenge. Well, I backed into his saber as he stood there and took damage. I found it very odd I've also taken damage from other players at other times while dueling. It's a bug I guess. Doesn't happen all the time, just now and then.

Daedlaes Posted April 4, 2002 Author Share Posted April 4, 2002 Exactly, it was majorly irritating, cause there was 12 other people running around that server. We wouldnt even have time to start the duel before somebody else would come up and waste at least one of us, possibly both. When youre in a duel you're ignoring everybody else, so I wasnt worried about the guy with the rocketlauncher, till he fried me. I know i could just join a sabreduel only server. I'm thinking if its a bug it Definately needs to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lnt. Kechtt Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Agreed. Although I'm often on the other side. I have no problem with taking people out in a free for all, and I haven't seen any duel circels, but maybe the glich is that other's don't see it, unless any of you have. I apoligize in advance if I nail you with the distuptor while you're dueling, but in a free for all, it's free for all. I'll check my shots from now on though. Oh, and just so you don't think I'm totally without honor or am a snake in the grass. I hate it when that happens to me, but hey, it's a free for all. Now, if I'm in a duel that's different, and I've never taken anybody out who were in an orginized duel. I just shoot the ones who run around like a chicken with their head cut off.

thrEEpaGe Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 ill try not to hit you while youre dueling, but while you are with a saber running around, you're a dead mofo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahnDelSol Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I don't think you guys quite understand... We are referring to the duel mode, where you walk up to someone, press "K" and enter a protected duel. During that time, other players are supposed to be unable to hurt you. On occasion, however, I've been sabered/shot/blasted/force pushed/pulled by people NOT in the duel. Again, it doesn't happen all the time, just once in a while.

mrvannistelrooy Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 seems very weird, its never happened 2 me and i love dueling.. if it is a glitch in the game, it definately needs fixing in the next patch, witch i believe is out some time soon? and 1 think i hate is when ure preparing to duel, just about 2 press K and some 1 comes and wastes you so when u enter duel your very low on health..

kerosene31 Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I've never been harmed by another player in a duel. However, I have noticed that people can stand in your way and prevent you from moving cleanly. Some newbie got in the middle of one of my duels the other day. He couldn't hurt us, but he did make it very difficult to move towards the target. Maybe something could mark a duel more clearly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerosene31 Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 I just was in a duel and my opponent was killed by someone else. We had become slightly separated and someone threw a saber at my opponent. He died but the message said that I won the duel. I am certain that I did not kill him and that it was the thrown saber. This must be a bug.

Caster Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Might be lag related, where the outside guy's computer doesn't recognize you two in a duel or something like that. Or it could be a cheat/hack. -Caster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY_jmr1 Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 this has happend to me once. i was in a dual and got heavy sabered from behind. at the time i was like "wtf?" and just went on with the game, but now i am thinking that this was/is a/the bug that was missed in the beta perhaps.
