ZealotOfJC Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 What a total bummer! The 1.04 patch completely killed the fun of multiplayer. I can't beleive that anyone thought it was unblanced! The backstab was powerful yes, but it made you stop and plan your moves. Now everyone just goes crazy with their saber like a noob and you can't put em in their place with a precisely timed backstab. And the pivot on it, ooooh it was like a dance when you did it right =) Now it's just plain useless. This game was a work of art. There was nothing wrong with the backstab and it should be left as it was in the start. As for the floater bug, glad to be fixed. But why the heck did they get rid of the jump-lung attack? It was hard enough to accomplish let alone master it with precision. What was the problem? Noobs complaining that they can't kill anyone on MP so they want their money back? Flippen Heck! What's next? Thanks to Darth_Infamous for making such an excellent argument as well in his post: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=69102 Please, MP honestly has gone down the drain since the new patch. Revert the moves back please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing wrong with the backstab and it should be left as it was in the start. These words on this forum are sure to get you flamed, so I would be a little more careful in the future. Precisely timed backstab? Pivot an art? Hardly, IMO - it was just a spammed move that was not meant to be. And worst of all, it looked terrible.... I mean, what's worse than people fighting backwards slashing at the air? Trying to tell me that backstab was a work of art? I'm tempted to flame you myself on this point, but given as I'm not that kind of person I will respond in the most civilized tone that I can muster. It just wasn't supposed to be that way, and had the truth been otherwise, Raven / Lucas Arts would have changed it. It was not an "art" for people to run 50-3 records on servers with stats based around one move, nor was it the least bit amazing when folks started flaming one another for it. But, to be perfectly honest, 1.02 > 1.04 where art was concerned. After all, 1.02 had *just* enough blocking to give the game a sense of reality to the movies, and you could actually score kills for grace - not spam. Furthermore, the float bug was an obvious hole in the game from the beginning, and I would suggest that you learn the legit way of landing - roll. Roll just as you land (hold forward+crouch as you fall), and you will take 2/3 to 1/4 of the fall damage. Sure, you could use the new red DFA exploit, but why not learn the real game? Edit: Oops, I missed your point there. The mid-air lunge was also an exploit, sadly. Sure, it was nice.... but it also too easily countered every other special move, IMO. That's why they fixed it. Just my $.02. I'm sorry, but I just don't agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis_Aureus Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Zealot your post reeks of inexperience. That's the problem with democracy... people who don't know what the hell they are talking about will open their mouth and put strange ideas into the heads of other sad individuals. I am tired of hearing people whine about 1.04 when it is in fact a great patch that has removed a lot of exploits and made the game rely on skill.

"The 1.04 patch completely killed the fun of multiplayer" It killed the fun for cheap assfighters, that's true. Am I sad about that? Nooope. "Now everyone just goes crazy with their saber like a noob.. " What makes you think people performing the same (bugged&overpowerered) move over and over aren't the n00bs? "And the pivot on it, ooooh it was like a dance when you did it right =)" So, you admit you were delighted by the lamest part of it. You MUST be a lamer then.. BTW, that "dance" looked so retarded, that this is what it comes to mind when I think of it "This game was a work of art." Yes, you are right. It WAS a work of art, when it first came out (1.02). When it was patched and cheap a$$ players like you came along it turned to an ugly PoS. "There was nothing wrong with the backstab and it should be left as it was in the start." Obviously Raven didn't think like that, and hopefully we'll never see that crap again, so save your whining, it's gone for good BTW, you can take this as a no in your beautiful poll.

Chaynsaw Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 The backstab is all well and fine but let me ask you this: How many goddamn times have you seen Jedis 1) walk backwards into fights or 2) run up to their enemies on the ground and BACKSTAB them. Totally abused and overused move, in my humble opinion. Exploiting a move is not art. And back-facing-fights really, truly suck: both to watch and to play.
