Rodney75 Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 By the way every one.....please visit the darkside servers and see the freindships that for there and feel the Best competition in the world there and then tell me that it would be ok to let this go.....and one other thing, the stats system there just doesnt count your wins and losses, It measures and ranks you byu your skillz with the game.......you can have a guy with 500 fights rankes lower that a guy with only 100 fights, it measures you by skill with a saber, not how many wins you get......I could drive that up by going and beating on 40 noobs a day, but have no skill.........go to darkside and be a measure where you stand with the Elite in the world. We are hoping that someone here at JKII.net will take notice and contact us about keeping it going......the only servers in the world that track and rank you by skill, not record. Thats what they were first brought up to do and still currently do.....after just a couple of days on darkside servers, all others are a letdown.

Rodney75 Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Saw your site...liked it...nice design, clean, and got damn near everything you could want........but I never said this was a Dark Side site or set of servers, I said that they call it darkside servers...the web site is http://www.darkstats.com Why don't you pop on over to the website and check out the stats tracking software that is run there......doesn't track you by wins losses like some ladder would, it tracks your skill and ranks you by that.......try it for a couple of days and I'll bet that you find some of the worlds best are on the darkside servers.

Rodney75 Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Hey obi, I just thought about it, the reason I can't find the challenge that I get consistantly on darkside on other servers anywhere? Is that because most of the elite in the world are on the darkside servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatalStrike Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 I liked Darkside but why do they use that horrible mod that F's up heavy stance? It makes Heavy swings have less range then Blue, and they're choppy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToppDog Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 As far as I know, they run pure servers with extra/alternative maps & thats it. I don't think they adjusted the range of heavy stance, or if they have I didn't notice it. On a side-note, I actually think the range of damage done by swings should match where the blade tip is during the swing in all stances. After all, we do not change blade length when we change stances, so the damage should not extend past the blade. If there is a difference in range, it should be reflected in how far the arms are extended during the swing so that the range still matches up with the blade tip. It seems funny that Raven would make you run slower in red stance, but then make up for that by having extended ranges that allow you to inflict damage on someone with a swing that missed by a mile. That's just another glitch I'd like to see fixed in a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koldsabercut Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 How can I play on the Dark Side servers? I admit, I am a n00b when it comes to JK2 multiplayer, but don't think I'm not a hardcore gamer. I just don't have much money . Oh, does playing on your server help you guys out? Even if it doesn't, I'd like to play on them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToppDog Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Select multiplayer game, then join a server, then get new list, then look for servers named darkside, & click on one. there is no charge to play there. You might change the selections that say show full & empty servers to yes so that you can at least see them even if you can't get in, then you can refresh list & see when a spot opens up. If I'm telling you stuff that you already know I'm sorry, I just wanna make sure you get your answer. You can also go to darkstats.com for more information about IP's etc. I like playing there because of the variety of maps, usually good ping, & most importantly because there are so many really good players playing there.

Heavy has longer reach not because a longer saber, but because the player reaches out further with his arms. Obviously if you swing with your arms fully extended you will reach further and take longer to recover.

Light short reach fast swing, yellow medium reach medium speed, Red - long reach slow speed. Thats how it works and that how it should stay.

ToppDog Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Originally posted by FatalStrike its a different heavy that I saw. Player only swings with one hand on the saber. You could very well be right. I'm not sure on that one. Originally posted by FatalStrike Heavy has longer reach not because a longer saber, but because the player reaches out further with his arms. Obviously if you swing with your arms fully extended you will reach further and take longer to recover. We agree on this, sort of. While you're saying that the game is already doing this, I'm saying that they aren't yet, but that they should be. I agree with your reasoning that the range should be greater because of arm reach & not differing blade lengths. But what I was getting at is that sometimes this is not the case in the game. Sometimes the reach of damage extends way past the tip of the blade in the heavy swing animations. In the DFA it can be almost a full blade length at times. It looks silly to be killed by a DFA swing that clearly missed you by almost a full blade length. Originally posted by FatalStrike If heavy didn't have any advantages it would be useless!!! Light short reach fast swing, yellow medium reach medium speed, Red - long reach slow speed. Thats how it works and that how it should stay. On this we both agree. In this case I just want the animations to reflect this as well. Right now we run slower in heavy, but the damage of the swings is often extended past the tip of the blade during swings to make up for it. I would rather the animations reflect the greater range by, as you said, having the model reach more with extended arms & possibly leaning into it more so that the blade tip matches up with the greater range during the animation. If that's not enough to equal the current range of heavy, then the rest should be made up for by allowing the player in heavy to run a little faster.
