Severon Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 I personally can not stand what they've done to this game. The original saberplay was the best. I never thought lunging was that bad but the backstabbing needed to be seen to. The ideal version of JK2 saber play in my eyes is: 1) The original saber play returned (not these glow rod baseball bats that are currently utterly USELESS) 2) No backstab while people are on the floor (god forbid you should slash forward to hit someone while down) 3) The original lunge (it was not hard to dodge) or the new updated one (consider adding a little more damage to it, but either way). So please lets make a cry out against Lucas Arts and what they're doing to what was one of the greatest online games of all time. Reply if you want to see the saberplay to returned to the ways of old!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yu-Law Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 I've been waiting all day for a post like this. FULL SUPPORT (GO 1.02) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cithorn Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 JK2 used to be my favorite multiplayer game, possible ever. Until the dreaded patch came. They tweaked and fixed, and things were good... until I swung my saber. I dodged a lunger and brought my red stance overhand stroke ontop of the poor fool's head... and he kinda just blinked at me. I struck him again with a broad sideswing, and yet he continued to stand and mock me. Healing may have been lessened.... put you certainly didn't need it anymore. Is it too much to ask to actually use a lightsaber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yu-Law Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Yes, I noticed that as well. It took me 3-4 strong swings (just about direct hits too) to get this one player to even look at his health, and just turn around, run about 12 feet, and pick up shields. (it didn't even phase his health) WHAT IN THE H3LL IS THAT ALL ABOUT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoX-Wipeout Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Agreed wholeheartedly, Severon, and very well put. I like the glow rod :amidala::amidala: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoX-Fraggle Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 I agree with Severon, and everyone else who has replied to him: Whywould anyone want to ruin such a wonderful game... I hope after reading many peoples thoughts on how horrible the patches have made this game, someone will take affirmative action to correcting this huge mistake. Anoter one bite the dust *Sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar-B-Q Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 I agree with Severon. Need the 1.02 lightsaber back in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuietSith Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Servers need this: seta g_saberghoul2collision 0 - Less Saber Blocking. seta g_sabertracesaberfirst 0 - Less Saber Blocking. seta g_saberdamagescale 4 - Saber Damage x 4 (Default 1) (4x - Prevents special move and kick spam.)

Sith Maximus Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 I cannot say for any game type other than 1.3 because I just got this game for fathers day. But the gameplay in 1.3 was way off in some areas and right on in others. The backstab and pull stuff was WAY off but the red stance was right on the money. When they do these updates they should pay closer attention to what is RIGHT rather than what is wrong. But in the end I will stick to the 1.4 patch so that I do not have to deal with the backstabbers anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severon Posted July 13, 2002 Author Share Posted July 13, 2002 I'll be checking out that Server... maybe it will make this game playable. However, I still miss the original JK saberplay. Now if you're saying with those settings you can make it IDENTICAL to the original then cool. Is that what you're implying? And if that is indeed true... I kinda have the feeling that the Lucas Arts team should definitely be making a more user friendly way to make servers (a server cfg maker for example). Where you can easily and knowledgably set those values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severon Posted July 13, 2002 Author Share Posted July 13, 2002 And btw, I'm a really opened minded guy hehe... I've been trying to check out your server but no one has been there. Also it is in my best interest that setting these 3 values correctly can make it easy like 1.02 and before... because well straight up that means that Lucas never screwed up beyond making the default values something so... lacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_st Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Yeah, definitely the saber system in 1.04 is still lacking. I don't know whether those server variables make it anything like it was in 1.02 (less blocking, higher damage), but I sure know that the BS (which I am extremely happy that it has been nerfed) and to a lesser extent the yellow special were the only saber swings that I thought worth trying in 1.03 . Now that BS is nerfed to oblivion, with the default settings the lightsaber is as useful as a 15" glowing toothpick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deetox187 Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 The settings Quietsith posted do bring the game much closer to the way it was in 1.02 and it's pretty darn fun. But i still agree that 1.02's saber system is the best, i want my old medium stance back, the new one sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting a hardcore following now. As I post this ... 10/16 players, and it'll fill up. Some people hate the settings (they want long drawn out saber battles, which is fine). This is for the realism purist who wants to have a saber cut and kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_Prez Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 I noticed something else youve probably noticed too is that in 1.04 its damn near impossible to knock anyone down. Usually in the heat of a saber battle you could push, pull, or kick somone and make them fall down so you heavy hack them or whatever. Now it does nothing but push them back a yard or so.

Chaynsaw Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Since 1.02's a pretty small community to begin with... I was wondering if I know or seen any of you around the servers. Of course I only frequent a few now, like Drep'anon's couple servers or NuclearFallout, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
