My summary of the patch, and the whiners

[Gmeister]

mIRC, goodbye to a heavy stance whore like yourself. We don't need no skill whores like you. You're pissed because your tip of the light saber can't heavily damage someone anymore when the momentum of the swing has obviously slowed down. Haha, I don't feel one shred of pitty for you. I'm glad cuz I heavy stance whore were WAYYYY too easy to beat.

 

 

.....now this patch forces people to use HEAVY STANCE when the right situation arises. Not like a dirty whore who has to hide their lack of skill by doing DFA every 8 seconds leading to a bore fest of a fight.

 

Although I have some issues with the patch because it isn't balanced.

BTW, medium stance was perfect how it was. And light stance should not have been changed. Maybe tweaked a little but not as much as they did in this patch.

 

...All the should have messed with really is the DFA animations where you touch the saber at the end of the animation and still get as much damage as you would when you actually get hit during the animations when the opponents saber is in full momentum. That's the only thing that really pissed me off.

 

i'll test more, but they had the right idea, but they went to too much of an extreme. In the next patch, they need to restore some of the skill and effectiveness. Make it so that you play with sabers with req. skill but don't die because of a error in the collision detection. Don't dumb the game down for some teeny bopper who spins like a little prick.

Pardon.. but uh stances in real life combat are not used via situation. You use a stance according to how you like to play. That, and I met plenty of people who didn't use DFA for every attack.

 

And DFA was possible to chain every 3 to 4 seconds if you know how. Just a little FYI

 

Now, no one uses heavy, and everyone uses light and runs around with the button held. Either that or mops the floor with pull on a FF server.

 

I fear this game will walk the path of a HL mod called FLF.. God rest its soul.. one of the most original mods after Counter-strike.

Well I loved medium stance and was fairly skilled at it but most of the people using it were clearly just strafing and spinning hoping for a hit. I like the new med stance because you need more timing to get a hit and the spins aren't as easy so you don't get as many headless chickens. As for the kickflip, I understand why they did it and agree that it did get annoying accidentally kicking small ledges etc... it doesn't take any time to tap the button twice and for me it's still just as easy to pull off. I also like the blocking as it's more "movie-like" and imo fun.

 

As for guns well I never play on gun servers because I only like the sabers and saber combat so I can't comment on them.

 

At the moment I'm still getting used to the stance changes but it'll only take about 1-2 days on on-off playing to get back to my previous level of skill.

 

Finally can people stop saying "your just annoyed because your cheap/lame/noob tactic doesn't work!" or similar... you know nothing about how they play/who they are and have no right to make such sweeping generalizations.
