RpTheHotrod Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Some people, if they duel, they just throw the saber over and over and over and run away, rolling out of the way, going everywhere but fighting you until they get more power to throw it more. ALot of people complain about this, and how unrealistic it is compared to the Star Wars series. I propose the following: Have Saber-Throwing follow the same rules that single player does when attacking. If you throw your saber into someone right on that isn't swinging (ie, has their saber out ready to block), there is a chance your saber will fall to the ground, and you have to use power to pull it back to your hand (not using PULL, you just press attack and it automatically pulls to your hand. No PULL skill needed, but it would take the power that pull 1 takes) If you threw something at someone, and they blocked it, at times they could hit the object to the ground. In order to throw it risk-free, they must be in a non-defensive position (running away, back turned, in the middle of a swing, etc) People would think twice before spamming the saber-throw at someone.

Hiroyuki Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 That's a good Idea, there's already too may things that need to be fix Raven does NOT give a crap. That would have to be something created in a MOD.(Which I really want to make.) This game needs so many tweaks to make it a true Star Wars Jedi type game it needs to be left to thoes who understand these types of games.

S!TH!NAT0R Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Would you like some cheese with that whine?.....JEEEEZ! -I too have run across players that do just what you say but you know what? -I beat them 99% of the time. Saber-throws are easy to block.dodge,and counter mang. Anyway, I look at saber throwing as a skill like any other move when saber dueling. Yes, I use saber-throwing but only when i need to. My dueling style consists of all the other moves as well and is very well balanced. I also switch between the 3 saber styles on the fly when dueling as well. Let me guess, thats not fair either? -I have run across alot of no-skilled players of late that just nitpick at anything about how you fought them because they lose. Thats BS in my opinion. I respect any players fighting style regardless of how they choose to fight. If you cant find a way to defeat a move-spamming player then you really need to practice offline. I'm not trying to worl up a beef with you or put you down dude but I'm just tired of all the whining and stupid b!tching about just about anything with JK2 and/or other players as of late. It gets quite old after awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpTheHotrod Posted April 15, 2002 Author Share Posted April 15, 2002 Hey sith, who said I was whining? Also, did I ever say I did/didn't like it? No! Try READING a post before starting your replies. I don't mind it. Other's do. Since there have been so MUCH whining about it (not from me you m...nevermind), I'm giving a suggesstion. There is also a difference in constructive criticism and whining. Guess you wouldn't know the difference if it was in front of you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Nuke Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I like the idea a lot Rp. I wonder why it wasn't like that in the first place actually. I use the saber throw when I'm on force servers (like when someone is running from you because they're almost dead) but by no means abuse it or use it as a crutch. Hopefully an upcoming patch will fix it. Great idea Rp For the record, it sounds like constructive critisism to me. How else does something get fixed if people don't point it out?

tubbydrmmr Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I agree with both Rp and S!th. I think that Rp's idea for a solution is great. I also agree with S!th though. I have run across people who saber-throw spam and it is usually easy to defeat them. It is still can be very annoying. Is this something a patch could fix? I would actually like to see that addition to allow things (sabers)to be knocked down. Could add some excitement to the middle of a battle! :-) I also agree with S!th that if someone's style always causes you to lose...perhaps you need to practice and or adapt to their style. What is better than beating someone at there own game, right? I don't think that you need to "sink to their level" for good...but maybe just a couple of times.

Pvt_Dancer Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I don't think it needs to be fixed, tubbydrmmr, you big bed wetting doody head. The sabre throw is easy enough to block if you aren't running around swinging like a tusken raider on crack. Plus... and you should know this of all people... when someone throws their sabre they are EASY push targets, no? Don't think I am going to go easy on you just because you are my roommate N00b!!

tubbydrmmr Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I am not saying that anything needs to be fixed you smEEly, rotten egg-farting, crappa! I am only saying that I think it would be cool to see things able to be totally knocked out of someones hands in multiplay. Nothing NEEDS to change...I like the game how it is. You dig, Pvt. Pee pee?

Moleculor Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Just to drag this thread back on topic... I totally agree that the sabers should be able to be knocked down like in SP. Just like I agree that they should NEVER have made anything OTHER than the SP style of fighting. However, I also agree with Sith in that it's WAY totally easy to block throws, and that the people who whine about getting killed by them simply lack skill. The reason I want to see knock-downs is for realism, and because it's way too easy for me to kill someone with throwing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpTheHotrod Posted April 15, 2002 Author Share Posted April 15, 2002 I really don't die to them at all, but it can get annoying. Chasing someone around the level that keeps rolling backwards and jumping around just so they can throw it more times just gets on your nerves. You can't push/etc in duels.

Pvt_Dancer Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Sorry. Our bad. We were both up late and were starting to get retarded. I SWEAR that I saw the sabre drop in multi but maybe not.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpTheHotrod Posted April 17, 2002 Author Share Posted April 17, 2002 In one of the game types...only one person has a saber. Once you kill him, he drops th saber and you have to pick it up before someone else does...then you're "it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefshank Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Saber dropping would be cool just because it actually happens in the movies! So why not? Weather it's from blocking a throw, or PUSHING a throw, or knocked right out of your hand with some kick a** move. It's not needed, but it would be COOL!

NewBJedi Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 There is no spamming of the saber throws. You can easily dodge or block them. Geez, stop whining and learn some skill. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.L. Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Some one throws saber at you. Block it. Saber fals to the ground.. You attack. They die. You happy. Stop moaning. In SP you can knock the saber to the ground by striking it when someone throws it at you, and I'm fairly sure this is the case in MP too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In SP you can knock the saber to the ground by striking it when someone throws it at you, and I'm fairly sure this is the case in MP too. You can't drop your saber in MP, that only happens in SP. And it's not whining, moaning or *****ing, it was just a sugestion. Some people are Way to sensitive. And I agree, it would be nice if you could knock someone's thrown saber down in MP just like it happens in SP. But this may be tied up in the same reason that MP saber fighting doesn't work the same way as SP, due to lag and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidPlatypus Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 you guys say its way too easy to block a saber throw? The over day my friend and I were playing I had a 20 ping, and we go on even level ground. I stood stark still facing him and he was facing me. I was looking DIRECLTY at him. I let him saber throw me a bunch of times. Every 2-4 saber throws would pass through my block and do 10-15 damage, note that I was standing still facing him doing nothing. In a duel with no heal this will slowly eat away at your health and it gets really annoying considering if you catch up to them they can just roll away.

NewBJedi Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 If blocking isn't working for, you could always try moving. It tends to work 99.9% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroyuki Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 I just started playing the Single Player missions. Saber throw is much better in SP! WTF didnt they make it the same in MP? Why is that so ****en hard for Raven!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0th1ng Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 umm...the saber throw spammers are EASY to take down..just aim for the saber while standing still and you repel it...worst case scenario with standing still is the occactional 5 damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarus Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I dont' get why everyone complains about saber throw....people try that on me and I just let them drain there force then attack. If you quit running at them swinging like a maniac then they can't hit you with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
