1.03 toughts

[csebal]

A word to moderators: if there's any thread out there u think this post would look better, then feel free to move it there

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Its been out for a while now, and i finally had the opportunity to play it.

 

Let me tell ya, im a duelist, so dont really care abt guns, however, the guns before the patch didn't seemed to bad for me in the ffa and ctf games i played.

 

Lets talk abt duels:

I was a dedicated force-enabled duelist, but after playing 1.03 i noticed, how force powers got nerfed. What i mean, is heal and drain.

 

They are much weaker now, and with the new saber system, where u really have to sweat to injure someone standing still (except using some spec moves) duels take an eternity. U hit someone, then he starts to run away, until he's healed.

 

What does an admin (like me) do in this case, i disabled heal and drain... and hey... games were much faster now... too fast i would say.

 

I also disabled lightning, and THROW (yes it can be disabled) to make the games even more faster, and be more about saber fighting instead of running away from the opponent.

 

Pull, and 180 deg. backwards slash, the next dfa?

Well... after disabling the above powers, ppl started to use pull and the back+attack move on the enemy... for instant kills :/

 

Now u can protect urself using the protect and absorb forces, but this made light side users too powerful, so all force specific powers got disabled also, including pull.

 

That finally made the game more fun, and the 1.03 patch bearable... Guess what... few days after this, i disabled the remaining force powers, except saber attack/defense and jump, and now i have a server where it is fun to play, and the game is more balanced.

 

So conclusion:

the force system in the game is nice, however, should be redesigned with multiplayer in mind.

the saberfighting is nice, no probs with that, except the few very deadly moves that are quite easy to make

and i better dont say anything abt guns... it they liked them the way they were before the patch, let them have it so

 

Thanks the 1.03 patch, i started playing no force games, and i even like it better than the force based ones in 1.02.

 

PPl whining abt 1.03 should take the time to test it out, (i mean testing guys, not just starting it, trying dfa, sawing it got nerfed, and then quickly uninstall the patch) and think abt it again...

 

thats it... hope there are many players thinking the same way.

for those in the CE region

******************* - the above mentioned duel server

 

- edit -

removed server address, because of the crashing script, that was posted recently

Well maybe its make game more fun but you remove all the StarWars Magic by removing all force execpt jump etc.

 

I wont go play on your server. I like force. Its give more StarWars history.

 

IF you want play saber only no force why not go play a game with only sword ?

the medium 180 backstab is way to strong.. 2 people on my team were fight this guy, i was one of them. i was at 100 health and 50 shield. i was like ok i can fight. i jump in and then me and my team mate are dead, from the one backstab. i think he had it bound too, as he would run around doing it.

[visualTK]

I have to agree that the backstab is a little too deadly. It's too easy right now to jump into a crowd of battlers and medium-backstab the whole group. It's especially a problem if they use drain in combo with it. Then you can't get near them and you can't lightning or grip them from afar. The only thing remaining is saber throw. I watched as one guy racked up a crazy 80 kills...

 

Other than that though, I'm pretty cool with the patch.

[FWH Lasker]

I am entirely in agreement with csebal. I have found that the most enjoyable servers to play on now are the no force servers for both Team FFA and duels. Force servers now come down to who can pull the other guy down first.

 

I will add though that I enjoy no force saber combat more in 1.03 than 1.02.

[csebal]

Actually, haven't said to like it no force... all i said, that i play noforce since the patch came out, coz thats more fun than just being pulled into death, or doing the same myself.

 

I'll play no force, until the force system gets more balanced, and will learn to fight again each time they make changes like this in the combat system.

 

And one last note: posting the server adress below was probably a mistake, which i'll correct immediately. I dont want ppl to get in and crash it, just because they think the patch or the way others like to play is not good.

 

All I wanted was to give an opportunity for those, who are interrested to see what i was talking about. If u dont like this style, then u should have ignored that part of my post.

You can disable PULL now too!...

blood....how does it destroy the starwars magic? In none of the movies did the jedi pick up guns and shoot or zap each other with lightning rather then fighting. Given Vader did throw his saber once....once in 4 movies. And the emperor did use lightning but he had no saber.

 

Force heal was never used (Qui-whatever was just meditating, wasnt' really a heal). Never saw drain. Grip was never used in combat, only on lackeys. Absorb and protect were never used (unless you consider vader absorbing han solo's blaster bolt). No dark rage. None of this stuff was used and I dont' see how you can say removing it takes away the starwars magic.

She was just giving her opinion about No Force servers

 

She does not like them; and there is an end to it
