While i like the idea i dont think it will work the best place to learn is online against people in a battle situation , while im sure u could teach some combo's ect at the end of the day its about actual combat situations knowing what weapon to use and when.

My advise is join a server and sit in spectator mode and watch people then join and practise what u see then devlop your own style.

I have one concern. I think this is a great idea, and would be willing to participate, but I am concerned that it could turn into something that you had to be VERY active in, which would make it closed to the people that need training the most, those that don't have loads of time.

 

Oh, just an idea for an "electronic certificate", that someone mentioned. I don't really know if this would work, but to make "graduates" recognizable to each other you could have a skin or saber color that only "graduates" can download (password to get to d/l site).

I am willing to offer my services to you as a student/teacher, an HTML designer, and a graphics designer. I have experience in all, and am a webmaster in real life.

 

examples of my work...

 

daoc-rengade.com

lovelydesigns.com

tedwilliams.com

agilitydogs.com

northernsuntanning.com

 

Some of these are collaborative from work, but they all exhibit my own knowledge and design in some facet.

 

I am proficient with html, php, java, dhtml, and some cgi. I am proficient with graphics design, special graphics effects (some flash, standard rollovers, etc...)

 

et me know if you are interested.

That's where I can come in. I am good with light and dark, but mostly use dark. I can be a trainer and if someone can come up with it, 2 training grounds, the yavin temple of course for the Jedi, something else for the Sith and Dark Jedi. Any other ideas?

Perhaps you should think more about running a sparring service....have some kindly mapmaker just make an array of simple sparring rooms all connected by some corridor...preferably with glass windows so people could watch from the outside. I'd like to hone my skills with the saber, as FFA ends up being a kill-stealing/battle intrusion fest (as one would expect...it's FFA!)

 

You could match people up against the same skill level and they'd improve together if they have the basics down...or have a slightly more skilled sparer with the complete noobs to elevate the battle beyond frenzied swings.

 

Anyways, as said before, your main problem will be finding some bandwidth for a server. It need not be 24/7...just up on weekends or the evenings.

NEWS FLASH:

Bump

No seriosuly, I have decided that as soon as ypu 'complete' training, and some of the traininers think you are ready, you will be able to join an ELITE clan of THE BEST OF THE BEST. All people who train others will automatically be able to join. But trainers will be put through tests to seee if they match the criteria needed. Now lets just hope JK2.net will support us and host us. They havnt responded in 2 days. Hope there looking it over.

You could point them towards the nearly unanimous support on this thread. Also, I don't think the idea of a clan as the ultimate goal behind the training is a good idea -- perhaps as a separate entity. I think the focus should remain on accumulating some skill.

 

Besides, that’d just make the organization too large. Running a clan is a full time job, running the school is also a full time (and then some) job.

it sounds good to me I would like to start as a student and I'd help teach when I get good enough. right now I fight darkside only and use medium almost exclusively. I win around 60-75% I still need some work in ffa type stuff though and the other stances. awsome idea

Silentwolf is right.

 

I consider myself a pretty good dueler, I beat almost anyone I duel with. (I am not bragging :D) But I didn't get good because of lessons, I got good from shoving myself out into the fray and learning to adapt. If your in a school and everyone is fighting one way, you will only learn to counter that one way. You have to learn by yourself how to react to different situations as you come at you.

Only thing is that the trainer BETTER have super No girl, no life, no job, no school, no social skills, SUPER geek status Saber skills......or he's gonna get ragged on bad. lol

 

 

 

Well, I'm TOTALLY interested in either learning or teaching. Since this is a brand new game, we'll ALL have something to learn, and even a newbie can teach the master.

 

If this this goes ahead (which I hope it will), lets keep this at an adult level - no tolerance for dissing other jedi's ideas or tactics - Padawans OR Masters. It'll be pretty obvious which styles are better by who wins duels.

 

Hmm, on a different note, I'm in a clan for Rogue Spear (http://www.northamericanalliance.com) and for MS Combat Flight Simulator (http://www.swnsquad.com). In BOTH of these clans, it's mandatory to use/have either Roger Wilco or Battlecomm for voice communications (like a walkie talkie over the internet).

 

Voice interface GREATLY enhances the "team atmosphere" AND much better than typing for easy communication. I recommend SOME form of voice chat to be available (Gamevoice, RW, BC, etc.) to enhance the whole experience.

NO but seriously, I always wanted someone to train me, but nooone did, so I think it would be nice to train others. I hope JK2.net accepts the site. Im thinking this will be done within a month or so. So Im just hoping for the best and trying to get everything organized for you. BTW the name is Ross.

I am not looking for teachers right now, but I am looking for PRO HTML designers, because without a good site design, JK2.net will not take it, and we need them to host it so we can make a proper site.

BTW, I cant map 'special' maps, but when the maps start commin out, I will choose a specfic 'Jedi Academy' map that we use to train. Alright. Later.

 

 

Here's a thought: When you DO choose a map, can you have some of us test it out on a variety of systems before it's chosen as "the" map. I'm tryin to squeeze fps out of my system; maps that are long/large/and open really cause video performance problems - especially with alot of other players in the room. It seems maps that are more "compartmentalized" (or at least have AREAS that are this way) work better.

 

Thanx for the consideration.

Yes but the oin behind the elite clan is that once you complete your training you have something to do after. Im not saying we fight other clans, but just have a clan server with a password, that we can play on whenever. Yeah I know running the academy is full time, but incentive is always good.

ABout the posts saying playing out there in the fray and learning to adapt, sure you can do that, but then what if you want to learn some moves, and you cannot pull them off in the frey cause it is to hectic. Or what if noone will help. Or what if they are too good? Or what iff...... etc etc..

So this academy will be open soon.

Just wish jk2.net would host us, they havnt responded yet either. Can anyone show them this forum?
