Ideaman

Recommended Posts

I think when you make a server you should be able to ban certin weapons,force powers and such.Like Lightning,grip ,and some other things that :newbie: s do just to be evil or just to get a kick out of it and they dont duel :lsduel::duel: ,im sick :barf: of it,Im just sooo angry im about to explode :explode: ,anyways,this should stop some situations :mob: ...anyways,If you have an opinions :wstupid: , then tell me what you think,or if you disagree with what I think,or just to say good idea,just reply,Well I gotta go,peace out :evil5: .

Oh god.. Sabre only without force powers..

 

How boring that would be. You just need to improve your skills.

 

Seriously.

I think you got it backwards there bud. Force Powers require no skill. In fact they are the only way ppl with no skill can compete.

 

I'm with IdeaMan, this is very much needed.

It sounds good in concept, but it's a bad idea. The host might be a Dark Jedi, so he would disable Absorb.. A Light Sider, and disable Drain.. You get the idea. The force powers are meant to function as a whole, not individually, and if you remove some powers selectively then others will become overpowered.

 

What I do think is needed is an option to allow only Neutral force powers. The closest you can get right now is lowering the force level so it's very difficult to get a decent amount of light/dark skills without neglecting the others too much. I imagine there will be a simple Mod for this eventually.

 

And Ideaman, you use WAY too many smilies...

We're tossing the word skill around a bit casually here.

 

Saber-only, no-force servers are just a way to dumb-down the game and make it simple for people, sort of like playing chess with only pawns and the king.

 

Personally, I like the complexity, and the choices, that the total package brings. You can never be perfect in your force-skill setup, you can always be countered, and you still have the standard FPS problems (accuracy, manuever, map-knowledge) to deal with.

I don't mind lightning or grip that much. It's the push that's annoying, well, in the nar shaddaa map where everyone just goes around pushing everyone else off ledges. I do it too though cause it's the easiest way to get them back.

 

It's still very irritating to be walking like you're drunk in a game because you keep being pushed back and forth. lol

Disabling of certain force powers is available, but is a bit buggy. Currently on my favorite server, force push and pull are allowable up 3, speed and jump are set at one. Powers not intended but work on the server due to the bugs of selective force powers are are absorb and protect. The other two bugs I've seen with this, is that if you go in to character setup while on the server and when the map is loading, it says that there are no force powers allowed on the server (which confuses people new to the server quite a bit). The other bug is that you have to set the force powers you have elsewhere, as the character setup window won't allow you to.
