defalc Posted July 7, 2002 Posted July 7, 2002 Originally posted by [JHQ]Inty compared to the advantages jedi have over mercs I don't think the grappling hook is a big deal. Leave it un-nerfed. So it's alright for Mercs to hook up to otherwise unreachable locations and snipe people, throw explosives etc, where the Jedi have no way of hitting them aside sabre throw? Heck no. Don't nerf it, balance it.
Lord Nodata Posted July 7, 2002 Author Posted July 7, 2002 Server will be up MONDAY. Sorry, there was a power outage at the machine's location and won't be back in the office to reboot until Monday...
Bluezman Posted July 7, 2002 Posted July 7, 2002 Had fun on the server the other day. I was playing as a Wookie Jedi called Nam-Ze Ulb. Real nice situation on Bespin Streets, where a couple of Mercs grouped on the roof of a building to the left side of the landing Pad, giving all the saber wielders a hard time. I jumped there and pushed them over the edge. I especially like about the server that can do these things that in a saber only server would be considered lame... So great job there, Chaff, keep it up...

Heck no. Don't nerf it, balance it. YES. Jedi have force powers, they can kill mercs with one/two saber strikes, and half of our firepower can be blocked. Besides, there aren't that many levels where mercs can grapple to the point where they are unreachable.

Bespin Streets, Bespin Exhast shafts, Nar Shadda Streets, Nar Shadda Garbage Compactor, Waring Factions, Episode 1: Duel of the Fates. The mercs can grapple to unreachable places there, and to an extent they can on the Yavin CTF level. 1 or 2 sabre strikes in HEAVY stance. While swining, we get shot, quite simple, and I'ev seen mercs play very effectively using e-11's, which are blockable.
Gandel Posted July 8, 2002 Posted July 8, 2002 Im with Defalcon on this one. I believe the Grapple should be limited. and thats coming from someone who has been spending the last 2 weeks or so mainly as a Merc.. Lemmi tell you this though , Grapple isnt everything for a merc, anyone who played a Merc before it was added , will tell you , they were still badass. only difference is now they can take 2 Jedi (or 3!) Solo. thats why it needs to be balanced. you think Jedi's and Siths enjoy having to use Saber throw as their main attack? I dont know about you , but I sure as hell dont.. and I can name a TON of unreachable spots they can get up to Bespin_shafts , (Up above the pipes) Bespin City (hook onto the walls) Nar Shaada streets , (the so called sky) Nar shaada hideout (the roof) Warring factions (omg plenty a places here.) Duel of Fates (wayyyyy up high on the walls) and other places. imo the Grapple hook was ment to allow mercs to get around easier. not to latch onto a wall and sit there and Snipe the hell outta people with a disruptor.
Lord Nodata Posted July 8, 2002 Author Posted July 8, 2002 I think the grappling hook needs these changes: 1. There should be a delay in the time you can fire it repeatedly. Like maybe 3secs. 2. It should only STAY connected to the wall for about 5 secs at a time.
Joben Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 what is the ip adress of the server? JO has crappy sorting/filters?
Lord Nodata Posted July 10, 2002 Author Posted July 10, 2002 Originally posted by defalc Problem there - only 8 slots! Make more. =P Fixed, there should be about 12 slots free. GO PLAY! oh and the ip is: 198.49.215.90
HellFyre69 Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 this might have been ask before... but i dun wanna read the whole thing just to find this out where is this server located at? thx
Gandel Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 IP is in my sig. if you ever want it just check there. and I believe the server is located on the east coast somewhere. you'll have to ask Chaff as I forget where hes from maybe Alabama or something
DiscoFever Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 I have a problem. Everytime I try to connect, it gets up to the part where I choose to be a Jedi or not, then it disconnects, and says Unable to connect. I have Allow Downloads on aswell.. can someone please help me?
Gandel Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 hmm weird. do you have the 1.03 patch? and it may have been a random glitch , its been known to happen when the server gets reset or other things. but I dunno I wasn't on much today.
DiscoFever Posted July 10, 2002 Posted July 10, 2002 I got it working, my program said auto download was on even though it wasn't... but it's all good now GO MERCS!

HELL NO! I'm from Memphis TN! heh The server is in Mississippi though.
defalc Posted July 11, 2002 Posted July 11, 2002 Woohoo! You're gonna have to update the server and the mod, but 1.04 comes out tommorow! So you won't need 1.03a If the grappling mod requires changes due to the patch, I suggest implementing Tchouchky's scaling mod. Thus, when Yoda comes out the server will be ready for it, plus, people can have RGB sabres. Although you might wanna disable the double bladed lightsabre and the extended length sabres.
Lord Nodata Posted July 12, 2002 Author Posted July 12, 2002 1.04 coming out! That's GREAT news! But I dunno how long it will take to get the Grapple mod fixed for it. At any rate, we'll probably upgrade and run Jedi vs Merc vs Sith, but no grapple until we can get fixed. w00t!
Gandel Posted July 12, 2002 Posted July 12, 2002 welp im outta action it seems. if you want the reason you can PM me or e-mail me. wont mention it in this thread.
