ShockV1.89 Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 I understand that there are people new to the game. This is true for any multiplayer game. But some newbies on JO just reach such deep levels of idiocy that it boggles the mind. I'd have to say the greatest example of this is meeting up with a newbie in a corridor, and he has his blaster pistol. I pull my sabre. He begins firing at me, and I deflect every shot. Many of them go back into him. He takes damage, dies. Fast forward 20 seconds, meet him again. This time, he has a blaster rifle. Fires on me again, dies. Rinse, repeat over and over and over.... I once asked one of the, in the middle of his barrage "Didnt you learn the first time?" ShockV1.89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psionic Jedi Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Anyone who watches the movies and pays even the slightest attention to the Jedi battle scenes would see the deflection of bolts... I wonder if he ever watched one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homosexual Ewok Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 It still amazes my how a very large number of duel players seem to think "Jump/wind up/Air-DFA" will land on someone who has dodged it every time before. People catch on rather quickly to things that work, but rather slowly to the things that don't for some reason. I don't flame them or make fun of them, but I do kind of scratch my head and wonder if they are playing the same game I am at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Solar Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Shock, you might have been up against a l337 5-year-old..? There are pretty young people playing....that might explain some of the really weird stuff they keep doing I've always wondered about the DFA-people too, H-Ewok.. I mean...if the opponent has dodged it 15 times in a row and hit you once or twice in the back every time, what on earth makes you think: "Hmmm, I know! I'm gonna try to DFA the bastard!"

razorace Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Or it could be someone on a dial-up. The lag is so bad you can't land normal swings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerowingzero Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Ha the must fun type of n00b to play is what i call "Lv.2 Noob" in where they know a select few moves (kick, lightning, saber throw) And just use them, and of course lv3 Which is they know advanced combos but ONLY use them (throw+pull, kick+pull, Grip-throw, Lightning) And what's fun is all you have to do is sidestep them and they will NEVER change their strat, i once had someone going for 5 min in a FFA before someone else DFA'd me while i wasnt looking, damn DFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi-Duck Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 Speaking of newbies im a real newbie and i wanna know some lightsaber move other than backstab, and psyco-hit-every-button-and-hope-someone-dies. This is all i use and without using lightning i tend to die pretty frequently in lightsaber battles. Some help please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooey Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Gotta remember, starwars attracts quite a wider audience than most other FPS games. Some people are playing JK:O as their first FPS game, while others yet are playing it as their first actual PC game. Some are quite young and others do not even have JK, but are at a friends or relatives house trying it out for the first time. Be firm, but be understanding. Demeaning people who are ignorant (as in they do not know better, not stupid) rarely earns their trust enough so that you can show them correct methods, or at least the more efficient ones. I know most of you are probably not here to teach or babysit, but taking the same amount of time it takes to rag a n00b could also be spent turning on into quite a considerable player. It would also win you back much more in appreciation than it would a flame fest. I have taken and mastered 3 apprentices, all of which are enjoying JK now and are very strong players by themselves. There will ALWAYS be angry little monkeys who will not accept anything else other than their own methods as being a better way. They end up dooming themselves so u are probably better off just moving on. Oh well, to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_taylor50 Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 What's wrong with "noobs"? I'm not saying I'm a noob but I'm not exactly a jk2 zealot i don't spend every waking minute trying to know how to beat everyone. But I paid for my game just like anyone else so even if i am crap i have a right to play the game and so does everyone else. If a noob bothers you kill em, they're there to play same as everyone else so if they moan ignore it just keep on playing. Not knowing the ins and outs of a computer game doesn't make you an idiot by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthraptor52 Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 I'm new to JK II MP, so I'm a newbie.

pickle00 Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 I love all this talk about n00b and l33t players. It makes me laugh that people bother to care so much about the game and their percieved status within it that they have to create these labels for themselves and others. Quite amusing. I remember being called a n00b in JK2 a week after the game came out!!!!! Unless the person was referring to their years of FPS experience in other games they quite simply must just have been typing words that they had seen others use. Ho ho ho. Very amusing. I quite often win games (and lose too) but i never feel the need to start slating someone by saying that the are new to the game. There are far better ways to mock someone and far better reasons to do so. Like script and aimbot users for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
