Twins of Doom Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 a lot of people don't like duels because of the wait time...i have some tips for those people a) watch from a distance...it makes the people look a lot more skilled! b) watch and figure out a tactic you can use to beat them (then you won't have to wait as much either) c) push alt - enter then alt - tab to go on the internet or something rather than watch (i do this one a lot) d) talk to the people, if you can get a good convo going your turn comes a LOT faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Lain Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Actually, if you watch from a distance, it makes them both look stupid =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I watch from a distance sometimes, looks more realistic but I do like to keep and eye on hp to see who is closer to dying! The alt-tab idea is a good one, funny how I never thought of that b4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzzy Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 i ususally watch whoever won the last duel, figuring out what his trick is. Then 9 times of 10 when my turn comes I kick his ass.. unless he's much better than I am and no amount of preperation could save me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greedo626 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I usally watch the guy who is most likely to win and find his weakness. then I kick his a*s when I duel him:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingSacrifice Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I usually watch the person who is winning. Trying to find out the moves and style they like to use. But, I also like to watch from a distance, it does look like the movie saber battles sometimes, pretty funny stuff I don't have a problem with waiting, unless some idiot is playing, like last night. This one guy just kept running around the map, just running. Everyone had to chase him and kill him. It was a drag, fortunately he left after everyone kept dogging him. I dislike the people who just want to annoy everyone else. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerowingzero Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Thanks! I've been playing in window mode forever now because alt tab doesnt work when i'm in full screen(Every other game works for me,weird) And it's a hassle to change from full screen to window just to alt tab, thatnks for the hot key And another tip, make sure the top of your IE (or Netscape) is below the part of the background of the game where it usually says (so and so is dueling whatever) so you don't get mistaken for AFK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how would you surf the net if it's under the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackfire Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I know I'm not an idiot, I just don't know all the acronyms. But I also know certain people will think I am just because I'm not online as much and don't know all of them. And the other question just became self explanatory. Thank You for answering me Druid.

LoneJedi Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I usually watch the winner and see how he fights. Blackfire: not knowing acronyms shows that you prolly have a better life outside of this glowing box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_t_99 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Here is a good tip: What I do is join a FFA server and watch two guys duel. When one wins I put my saber away and walk up to him. He then challeneges me. I lightning him to death and get an easy kill. heh heh! In duels lightning drain combo works good if the other player is the darkside. Pull and backsweep is also good.

its420onthedot Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Some guy challenges you and you lightening their ass!!! Sounds pretty lame to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUHAHAHAHAHA Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 sean_t_99, you are one of the llamas, eh? Your kind is what really ruins the game, not the patches, not the n00bs, not the pull/bs whores. It's the llamas. Helpful hint: If you're a lightsider, NEVER challenge someone w/out absorb on, there are always idiots like sean_t_99 who don't respect the honor of duels.

Yoda_623 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 I do the internet thing a lot too. I also like to watch the person and figure out their tactic, so I know whats comin when I face them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kidding, surfing would be okay but keep in mind that you are probably slowing down the server, at least when dl'ing big files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibballin Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 i used alt tab once and when i returned, i returned right into a dfa!!! the first thing i saw was a luke headed right my way. i wasnt even that gone that long but i guess it served me right.

In duels lightning drain combo works good if the other player is the darkside. Pull and backsweep is also good. first of all we are talking about duel servers, not ffa servers second of all...the person challenged you to a duel, and you lightning them down!? how cheap can you get? if you don't want to do look to one side then the other a couple times as if to shake your head...don't just lightning them because they won't attack until they need to defend themselves it is just cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetherfunz Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 I fully agree with what most of you say here, honor of duels and such things. It's just poor cheap if someone lightnings you when you try to challenge them (with saber down also!). What I often do when spectating is flying off in the spec-view, and try to catch the action "on camera". It's really nice! When playing in LAN, I often catch the duels of my friends on a demo, to re-view it another time, of just for some cool moves of it... "Had the idea yesterday to make a music video of cool JKII scenes... I'll give it a try..." Peace & Respect -- Aetherfukz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
