HellFyre69 Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 well i dont c the point in making a mod to change the dual blade. I Think it should stay tradionally with only a single blade, and not dual. But Lowering the stats and all for dual blade seems a good idea... eh eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythren Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I think Lyger (or a similair spelling) had a good idea going: Make the Dual/Double Sabers cost a heft amount of Force Points, and leave Dual Sabers like they are, and adding Double Sabers (if It's possible), with the same effects, but make them cost a TON of Force Points, so basically you had the choice of a better saber, or better force...a better "Wizard", so to speak, or a better Melee Character. Sounds logical to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saber_Trails Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 then no one would use single, i think double should be nerfed to match single blocking/damage except damage per blade should be half but faster i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds logical to me... kinda like that but make it be just like how it is now, it goes 3 5 7 or whatever i think single blade should get more or new and better stances if they have 2x and x2 sabers.

Saber_Trails Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 no no we seek balance with double and single and for it to be hardcoded into the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD-LeyAmas Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 So, umm, does anybody here have any idea of what's involved with what you're talking about. I do. And if you want to get anyone to start working on this, you need to post a request over at the coding forums, because nobody else will be able to do this. Sounds like a good idea, though.

He's got a point... . I just come up with ideas, it's up to people with slightly more knowledge and probably a less completely-abstract mentality to code it .

WasteLock Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Ok forgive my n00bness, but what does DFA stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC- Jedi Acidic Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I think that the Dual Blade should have its own force point collective... With no points it acts as 1/4 the power of a normal saber. then the most it can get to is 5/4 but make the last point SERIOUSLY A LARGE AMOUNT!!!! like 12.. That way it would give an advantage but not a big one.. and a disadvantage to using the dual blade.. Thats my idea.. BTW: DFA stands for Death From Above...

Vaper1701 Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 my 2 cents worth relating to the dual blade.... I understand how people feel that the dual blade is superior and way to hard to break throught its defences but isn't that the point! I mean the wilder of the weapon being darth maul from episode 1 had years of training with this weapon and he used it to take on 2 jedi's not one, he used a single to fight Qui gon the first time so why not have that in the game, don't take away the dual blade advantage because thats the whole reason for its existance, instead make the multiplayer so that only a very few can use it, kinda like a rule in multiplayer that ie...every 3rd player can use it, so that any dual blade weilder has too fight more than 1 foe, this will even up the fighting, another way to do it would be to has the second blade activate when you get to enemy jedi's com close enough to you for combat but disengage the second blade when thiers only one still around....... personally I like the challenge of trying to single blade dual against a dual blade and the only real changes needed are the saber stance with the dual blad and the animations as well......, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefotron X Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Here's one idea to solve the double/dual saber issue. Add a new Force alignment, other than Light or Dark, and only allow double/dual sabers in the 3rd alignment. This would bereave the 2-blade people of the Dark attacks, or the Light defenses. What the Neutral people get instead is the option to take levels in Dual and/or Double saber attack. The two-blade people would be unable to heal without bacta or medpacks, unable to use Absorb, and unable to do lightning or grip. Mind Trick and Dark Rage, they might be okay things to give to the Neutral people if it doesn't interfere too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC- Jedi Acidic Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 The idea of having the dual/double saber needing force points or a new alignment seems the best we're gonna get. Because that way they will be deprived of more useful things like heal etc... To make the dual saber equal to the single saber, like Vaper said... Is taking the whole idea of the dual saber away. Everyone would take a dual saber because their better and the single saber would most likely be left untouched.. (I prefer the single saber because the double sabers animation keeps finding its way inside my hip) I think a very good idea was to only activate the 2nd saber when an anemy comes into what would normally be the distance that u initiate a fight. But their still have to be some kind of disadvantage to people who choose to do this (or advantages to people who dont which would probably be better). But we dont want everyone to take the double saber, because its better.... We want them to take what their better with.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC- Jedi Acidic Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 The idea of having the 2nd saber pop out when two enemies is near, should only be a feature in team ffa or ctf.. That way it'll be 2 people vs 1 with a dual saber.. Cuz having 3 people with dual sabers dueling all the time isnt really fun, i think it should be made for tffa or ctf only if we use that feature. Is there a link to somewhere where we can get people who code mods and patches to look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
