HappyPrancer Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 I just finnished getting kicked out of my first game using the new patch (why I'm never allowed to leave a game on my own accord I have no idea). anyhoo, I have noticed several problems with the new patch. Firstly, there are the changes to lightsaber combat. The biggest change was the "tone-downs" they made the "exploited moves". By "exploited moves" they mean "good moves", and by "tone-downs" they mean "make useless." The DFA user can no longer spin his mouse around while doing the move to kill everyone alive in the level. ANd it is true that in the game I played people have quit using this move quite as much. People still however don't like it when a user binds a key to "ha ha ha, I killed you with DFA. FEEL MY WRATH!" despite the increased difficulty of this move. The removal of some of these "exploited"(good) moves has resulted in people using the next best moves (new exploited moves). The one I am reffering to is the backstab. People are now whining about this move as much as or more than DFA. This surely means it will be "toned down"(made useless) in an upcoming patch. It seems that the lightsaber will soon be less usefull as a weapon than a thighmaster. The sudden increase in whining created by the patch has also led to a new "exploited move"(good move). Namely, killing somone while they're typing. The game makers, for whatever reason have put a word bubble over your head when you type. I have taken the liberty of submitting a patch to the file department at jediknightii.net which changes this bubble from its regular icon, to text saying "please kill me". This, I'm sure, is what it was originally intended to say. No longer do you have to run somewhere safe, or wait until you are dead to type a message, now, in the heat of combat you can just start typing and if you die, you can tell on me to the moderator and have me kicked out. Yeah, good feature. Real nice. All in all, I give this new patch a total score of -4stars (out of a possible -5). The extra -1 will be reserved for the next patch, which while dealing with the concerns of small children who play will undoubtedly spoil the game for everyone else. -HP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=[M@ximus]=- Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Well i aint happy what so ever, they have tried to focus on what i can only describe as "Count Dooku's Style" the medium is like sword fencing and not the moderm jedi fighting style like it is supposed too be, they have lamed the Meduim way more than the Heavy and for god sake, removing the spin all together? what the hell is that for? thats what defines the Jedi, Read any book that gets into the saber styles and thats what makes a Jedi Stand out, his twisting and turning, and dodging and so on u could have at least left the spin in, just maybe not 3 spins in a row, i dont care what others say, but Medium was way over the top nerfed and i wasnt impressed, and my arse pulling the DFA is harder, thats why the few server that have 1.3 on, all u see is still the 4 or 5 instant deaths where the person just jumps around , yeah u cant move, but so what, u can still kick when ran into Lite well i dont mind seems ok-ish wasnt a fan of that one, heavy, well what else u do too that then? in fact u add another move LOL nice job is all i can too that Force Heal? u nerf it so it takes half are force? why so badly? why not just half of that instead? i dont mind too much about that, as u have countered that with the Force absorb which is good i suppose Drain i not so sure about, never used it, wasnt impressed where drain wiped out absorb, even tho it is called "absorb" that it didnt! and if it did, not very oftern! Maps wise! why the hell add 4 Duels only and no FFA? or CTF? whats the point in that, we have lame maps like Raven we have too use yet u give us only Duel maps hummm over all i aint impressed, if u sort the medium swing properly and more even abits, then maybe u will have alot more fans and supporters! sorry to say, patch sux's over all, and i think alot off peeps wont admit it, but its over all true! thanxs for reading i am sure i will be flamed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormGuy85 Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 I wasn't going to post again because frankly... you people are too stupid to probably even understand what I am about to say. Obviously Max (or something to that effect) hasn't played the patch because medium spinning is still in the game! try strafing to one side while swinging and then strafe/backwards after that. Medium is differnt, but far more controllable then it used to be and I always know what move I will be doing which makes timing even more important. As for the Swedish people trying to get others to have a shoot-out with them? What the bloody hell are you people getting so upset about! its a patch. Enough with the name calling (hehe I did it up at the top of my post) and defenently enough threatening to kill other people. And if you arn't going to give up, i'll take your challenge, come meet me in Florida and we'll see who wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[QGA]Vertigo Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 After playing just a bit more I'd have to say that LIGHTING is being spammed more than ever, because of the "ineffectiveness" of sabers. Yes, you can turn on absorb, but that won't do much for the dark siders (I'm a light sider btw)... Overall I'm finding this patch less and less appealing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=[M@ximus]=- Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 try playing it your self m8 properly the spin aint even a spin, it is a back spin, not a forward spin, there are TOTAL different moves, Back spin dont even cause that much damage, i sat there on my 2 systems for a laugh and guess what, spin after spin i hit nothing much call me crap? get on the 1.2 and i will kick are ass, Force or no Force, Weapons or no Weapons... i know the medium back to front, and with this patch they have totaly spoiled it god i cant wait for SW-Galaxies then i think i am gone from JK2, if they dont hurry to sort it, they will ethier loss more players too that , or they will loss out too UT2k Unreal2 SOF2 and all those others too come dont get me wrong i am the biggest i would hope SW fans around i collect books, toys, vids, posters, i love it, but when they fook somin up that they make out in books so much what can be said, A jedi FEELS THE FORCE, AND USES THE FORCE, that means flowing with spin attacks, if i want sword fencing i will wait till the realease "Jedi Knight 3 : Dooku's Fencing Duels" untill they do, give back the Medium Jedi Spin please!

:H:Fujin Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 First i like to say, that jk2 got me away from cs and i love jk2 still.... but this new patch is horrid. Well i was on a server the other day, and this newbie kept Lightning me, so when that happens i usually use heal and then just kick his ass, but i couldnt. I couldnt because the stupid patch left lightning the same, but made heal less useful. It takes more force points to heal, and takes longer. I dont mind that red stance move being messed with, but this taking away power from heal crap, just doesnt cut it. GG Whoever added that, u just made me quit jk2!

Nill the Mean Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Then... HOW ABOUT... you use absorb? Or you jump away? or you pull him or you push him or you hit him or you shoot him or use protect or just plain run away like a little wimp. With the improved absorb it should be easy to take advantage of lightning spammers. Too little heal? GO FOR HEALTH PACKS TOO THEN. And carry a bacta with you whenever you can!

Skidrowpunk Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 OK, i've not read the entire thread, so forgive me if this has already been said. I've seen almost nothing but whining here. I have 1 thing to say You try making a game, and then patching it, to try and appease the millions of people who play it, and see if you can do a better job. I can almost Garauntee that half or more of these damned whiners have NO IDEA how hard it its to make a game, or even patch it. They have NO IDEA how hard it is to try and balance out everything in the game. There will ALWAYS be people who like the changes, and people who don't like them. Unless all of you people complaining have actually MADE A GAME THATS PERFECT, then you have almost no grounds for complaining other than you paid money for the damn thing. If you think you can do better, MAKE YOUR OWN PATCH! I don't care wether Raven improved or messed up the game, as long as they show thier TRYING to make it better. You should be thankful that thier even still working on the game, unlike some companies that just lay back and go on vacation for a year. So, if you have nothing better to do than whine how the game is now ruined, uninstall it, put it up on the shelf, and curse how you wasted you 50$. Or, you can go get a job at Raven, and make your own fix for the game, since , ofcourse, your Opinion is always whats right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippo Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 why change medium? it wasn't whored, it wasn't overpowered, it wasn't cheap. WHY CHANGE IT? i spend the last month mastering it, now its just swing left, swing right. no spinning. spinning was sooo fun and easily countered. WHY REMOVE IT? ok, it's not removed, but it's harder to do, and you can't forward spin. not to mention EVERYTHING gets blocked. seriously, i'm the last person on earth to bitch and moan, but this is unacceptable and unwarranted. nerfing a stance that was only good in the hands of an expert? pffft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truthful Liar Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Actually that's not true, you can still spin with Medium easily just not as frequently. Why don't you all just actually "try" the patch for a week and see how it goes? I'm sure that everyone will get used to it, and you say that blocking occurs too much? Think about Obi Wan & Qui Gon VS Darth Maul or Obi Wan vs Darth Vader, all the saber fights included amazing blocking skills and really took their time - that's how jedi are meant to fight. You don't like the new Medium? Well you can keep your opinion but I recommend that you give it a try untill you damn something to hell.

Dvlos Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Originally posted by Cerebral DVLOS?? Get your bedwetting ass back here and just name time and place... You *#¤#%... Please live in Sweden...... First of all. 1) I don't give two ****s about a typo, or mis-spelling, but when the same word is constantly, and repeatedly mispelled, it makes it rather hard to understand. I hate re-reading crap that's idiotic to begin with, make an effort, huh? It's not that hard too. 2) You probably know - I am from the United States. Orlando, Florida... Altamonte Springs to be exact. I don't have any need to fly to Sweden, that's an expensive trip just to laugh at your childish antics. Every clown that I flame back, if I mention a father, or a mother, suddenly they're dead. You where threatening to "shootfight" me over a patch you fool. Now you want to say its over your ghostly father that beat you over the head with a rattle? I have a job fool. I can't sit around hitting refresh all damn day. You want to talk smack? You have no idea who you're talking to fool. I'll let you find out, I'm not into bragging, that's definately the Buster thing to do. Come over to the US anytime you want, make a post, send an E-mail, I don't care, if you want a piece of me, you're welcome to try and take it. Please bring your Dad's or a picture of his casket so that I can start feeling sorry for you. While your at it, take a picture of yourself crying over your keyboard at the fact they released a patch. That will go well with the picture I take of you crying with your mouth at the end of my size 12's. You're trying to take things to the NEXT NEXT level, and at the same time, its all talk... You expect me to believe you were in prison for five years, you pop bites the bullet 3 weeks ago, and the best thing you got to do with your life is "Hey the patch sucks, you wimpy auther ass! Waa!" Come on man. That's ridiculous. First its: Dvlos: Stop complaining about the patch, the biggest dent is into heavy stance abusers. Cerebral (nice non-nerd name): Dear Mr. Foolish, you are dumb you are stupid the patch is stupid. Dvlos: Whatever you 2nd grade nobody. Cerebral: WHAT I WAS IN JAIL FOR 5 YEARS!! I WILL KILL YOU! (whatever idiot, if you really were in any kind of prison-not a day care- I mean a prison you wouldn't talk like this. You wouldn't even be playing video games you'd be trying to score some bootay) Dvlos:AHAHH!!! Whatever! Your dad hit you with a rattle! Cerebral: WHAT MY DAD SUDDENLY DIED!! Dvlos: AHAHAH!! Cerebral: WHAT EVER NAME THE TIME AND PLACE AS LONG AS ITS MY FAR AWAY AND FROM MY SAFE AND SMALL COUNTRY OF SWEDEN... Dvlos: AHAHAHAH!!!! Read back you started this flame buck-o. What's your point? I keep trying to go back to the patch and you keep making it personal, which is it? If its personal I'll give you my e-mail or meet on a flame forum and go at it that way.. this is a game site.. ok? I don't really think your even half serious about this so I suggest you drop it.. if you insist on it, let's go somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dvlos Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Man, I just want to talk about JK2... home boy over here is losing sleep over this... Cerebral I'll be the bigger man, take it how you want (OMG HE's a wimp ahah).. But I'll drop it okay? Sorry about your recent loss. If you pursue me its all on you... My offer still stands to play JK2 against you or anyone from this forum, not because I hate you or some testosterone kick I just enjoy playing with fans of SW and of this game like I am. I don't have time for this. Besides, RAVEN has posted and everything they have said makes sense. And while I may have sorta' liked certain aspects of the game pre-patch I FEEL (maybe some of you don't or even encountered it) that post-patch is for the best. And I am SURE.. this won't be the last patch for JK2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flippo Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 first off, thank you dvlos for making a neat little play on flaming. very appropriate. [/sarcasm] anyway, yes you can still spin whenever you want, you just have no control like you did before. the only hope of killing someone with a spin now is if they think it looks pretty and decide to walk in to it. it completely suck ass. and what if i do give it a week? i'll most likely say the same thing, and you'll say ``go play a new game padawan''. well i like this game. at least i did. i've been playing this patch most of the day since i've been home today, and it is straight up ass. why make ``improvements'' that no one wanted or asked for? why ``fix'' things that aren't broken? all i wanted from this lousy patch was to fix the step on saber dfa death... and don't you suck ups hit me with that violin **** !
