Emon Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 I have taken the liberty of record a successful counter against Force Drain using Force Absorb. Please watch the whole thing, or at least up to the Drain-Lightning part. There's about two successful counters on two different occasions (others weren't when I had no mana, hehe). You can get the file here: http://ejm.ravenclans.com/misc/draincounter.zip To install it, just unzip it to your Jedi Outcast\GameData\base\demos folder. If there is no demos folder, then make one. Then open up JO MP, click play and click demo. Select the new demo and run it. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valdarious Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 I just use pull. I know absorb works but pull is faster in the way that usualy then up on the floor at my feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjai Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 isnt that just a bot? cause if its not then that person is a moron, who is dumb enough to use drain or lightning when you have absorb on, because i certainly wouldnt and i doubt that the people who use drain wouldnt either. i definetly would not consider this a counter to drain, i can drain ANYONE easily within a second without warning. to me, and im sure those who know how to use drain effectively, there is NO counter to drain.

RedMan Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 no immediate counter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon00 Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Absord doesn't last long enough.. it the patch, perhaps they should make absord last longer and use less force power. It's the only counter people have to drain, grip, and lightning, so it should be really, really powerful. I use drain all the time, but it is rather cheap. Maybe drain should be more force power consuming, so it's something that you don't use constantly. Anyway, all's I know is that it is too powerful, and that it's pretty un-counterable. I'm sure it will be addressed in a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedMan Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Originally posted by RedMan no immediate counter... By that I meant nothing that counters staight away, there's run and lurk then kill, fight near corners, etc One method is never enough. And repetition is boring.

Vestril Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 Uhmmmm, if you keep Absorb up while you fight people it's a good counter if you can kill 'em before it wears off, and if you can run like the sissy you are lol (don't be mean, I was making fun of myself) Another good counter to Drain is skill and really good timing, or drain itself. In general when people who drain get drained they flop around like dead fish until you cleave them in two, vaporize, or generally blast them (yes, I know that the good people do not do this, you don't need to respond and tell me that you're REALLY good and don't suck if you get drained, I already know--I keep a list).

Essobie Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 See this just erks me. Where's the counter? What I see is you getting owned by a Desaan bot that looks like it's on easy difficulty. Have you even played against humans yet? Essobie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trienco Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 then you would be surprised how many 'morons' are out there playing the game. most of the times i wonder if half the guys on the server actually KNOW what that blue aura means while they try grip, push, lightning, drain and so on over and over again.

What I see is you getting owned by a Desaan bot that looks like it's on easy difficulty. Have you even played against humans yet? Essobie What kind of moron do you take me for? I read that many people thought that Force Drain COULD NOT BE STOPPED, at ALL. This demo was to show that Absorb will counter it. The bot is actually on Jedi Master, and I never said the purpose of this demo was to show off my skill. You think if I was trying to win I would just walk around like a moron? I was waiting for him to try and Drain me, and when he did it didn't work. Of course I have played against humans, what kind of n00bish moron do you think I am? I play against guys who use Drain all the time, I use Absorb and it WORKS. I you ASSIGN a REAL hotkey to the power, you can turn it on in a flick of your finger. Most people whine about how they are drained because they have to cycle through force powers to get to absorb, THEN turn it on. Well if people like these weren't so thick headed and listened to advice like mine they wouldn't have this sort of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjai Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 i think when people say there is no counter to drain they mean that it drains your mana so fast you cant possibly counter in a real fight unless you turn it on when you see someone and never turn it off until you die, but thats just not practical.

Sartis Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 heh, they have already mentioned they want to nerf drain abit and peopel are still talking about making absorb more powerful. You won't get both so pick more powerful absorb, or less powerful drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I was in a server a few days ago and some idiot was using grip to throw everyone off the landing pad... so i switched my force powers around and added absorb, and it took a few times but he finally caught on to what i was doing. But at first - he had no idea. It was funny.... Roach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
