Ves Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 My favorite mode is duel online, I dont really care for any of the other modes but I enjoy duel and I play it ALOT. What is the ONE thing that annoys me the most? It seems like what half the people who play would rather hide than fight. I just played on a dueling server for 6 (with powers on high). Every single person was a light jedi, and what did they all do? ALL they did was run around and heal. Most of them did not fight AT ALL! All they did was leap past each other, WITHOUT HITTING and heal. Fights between 2 people who did this can last over 20 minutes....I've spent the last 4 hours on duel servers, and 3 of those hours were spent waiting for light on light duels where all people do is heal and run. Does this annoy the hell out of ANYONE else? It got so bad the ONLY way I could get them to stand still was to force pull EVERY time they jumped.......I managed to go for 4 straight fights without being hit once, because all people would do is run and heal.....this annoy the hell out of anyone else?

Ulic Quel Droma Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Yeah thats whats pretty much stopped me playing on public servers last night i was accused of being a "push whore" because i would push this guy over everytime he tried to drain/grip me now im sick of this too but theres not much you cna do about it on an unrelated note, Drain + grip = newbie tactic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacKnight Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Originally posted by Ulic Quel Droma on an unrelated note, Drain + grip = newbie tactic Don't even get into that here but yeah fleeing in terror annoys me a lot too. I rarely play duel mode anymore because I can find much better duelist in ffa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Drain + grip = newbie tactic == easily coutered. Anyway, I hartily agree, a lot of people would rather run than fight... Either that, or charge at you blindly w/ strong stance. Either way, it's lame and spoils the fun, though I have seen much worse. Hopefully these things will be addressed by Raven in the future.

toolboi Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 What irritates the hell out of me are people who exclusivley use that red stance saber jump, the complain if you kick them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moleculor Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Kick them off the server, or kick them in the head? 'Cause I'd complain too if you were kicking me off the server for using a coded stance (and one that is so easily beaten). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiell_Randor Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Ulic Quel and Ves: try some of the ffa servers out there designed for dueling. My clan has a server up on and off: Knights of Alderaan (Duels) Ip: 24.98.208.55 Generally speaking, we find a good level, and take turns dueling with everyone else looking on. Lots of fun, good clean fighting. And we use the duel mode so Force powers are limited: jump and saber throw only. There are a couple of other servers out there that run with this mentality I believe. This style of play is generally what we are dedicated to as a clan. Unfortunately our website won't be up until later today probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudofun Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Red stance death jumpers that shout "NO FORCE POWERS" at the start of matches, then proceed to heal when you hit them..GAH or this one guy that drained me a bit to heal, then when i used my lightside heal, proceeded to tell me i sucked for healing, then while i replied death jumped me DOUBLE Gah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ves Posted April 11, 2002 Author Share Posted April 11, 2002 "on an unrelated note, Drain + grip = newbie tactic " That dosent bother me that much.....if I fight someone who is a drain + grip ***** what do I do? I INTENTIONALY use up all my force power(I play light)before I get close to them, this way they cant heal lol! Kiell, thank you for the invitation I'll be on there tonight.

TasamBladefire Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I think death jumpers are stupid n00b3rs. Healing exessivley is also quite stupid, you should only heal if you stride in to attack, and manage to come out, but with 10 health or something. I play light, so of course I always get pissed of by Sith, but I believe that is a natural feeling . Death Jumping should be a sith power anyway, let em have it. Best way to beat Sith Death jumpers::: circle waaaay around(to avoid the death jump) and saber throw em in the head, then run up and side-swipe em.

Raze Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Dude, calm down, light side HAS to stay away from dark side.. It's one of the two best counters to the drainers.. stay far away, don't let them come to you and hit them with saber throw.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtifeX Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 never had a problem with runners in a duel server. most of the maps are small enough so that there's not too far they can run in the first place. besides, if they try, you just dive-roll after them--it's faster than just running. then when you're close drain, pull or saber throw them to death. no problem. haven't found a light sider that can beat me yet. (no i don't use lightning or grip. many times i turn off my saber altogether and kick them to death.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zek Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Ves, if you do that they only have to drain you a little bit before they grip you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacemanSpiff Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 i saw that a few nights ago too...light side guys just running, healing, and saber throw. highly irritating. my solution was to grip them, but hide around a corner while using the grip, so they can't push you off. when the grip is done and they are recovering, whip around the corner and whack 'em. it is a cheezy tactic, but then again, so is running away with heal too.

Zek Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I don't mind when people play the running game with me; I can beat them anyway. It's when both people currently dueling are only taking a swing once every 10 seconds(most common with heavy stance *****s) that pisses me off.

thrEEpaGe Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 i havent messed around with sabers much on multiplayer because ive been playing nf guns, but does pushing them while you are gripping them at a high angle work? it certainly does in single player =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphon Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 I played some guy last night in the trial pit and all he did was grip me and try to swing at me while I was hanging in the air. I hit him while I was in the air more than he hit me! But that grip thing is quite annoying. I also played FFA in bespin streets and some retard was gripping everyone and dropping them in the garbage shutes. VERY CHEAP!!! Being a jedi is about using the force to use your saber no using the force to wimp out WHO IS WITH ME!!! LOL Personally I think only push, jump, pull should be used in MP except push when in level like bespin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obijonkenobi Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 So much frustration in this thread. Here is a few solutions... 1) have sex with your girlfriend. 2) have sex with your wife. 3) have sex with your girlfriend, THEN your wife 4) have sex with your wife, THEN your girlfriend 5) have sex with your wife and girlfriend at the same time 6) if your gay, replace the female with male varients of said titles. 7) if your straight or gay but have no one to have sex with, time to start wankin to porno pictures... or nude Tavion skins which someone posted a few posts saying that wanted to see some of her naked (probably to do just that). My point is go have an orgasim and you will soon have no stress about the original problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
