Taos Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Originally posted by happydan i reckon light staff and dual sabres should have reduced blocking capabilities against blaster fire, Have you seen the new 'gold guy' animations on the LEC E3 page? It looks like the blaster blocking was pretty good.....though I can't imagine it being better the one saber alone. It still looked much better then I thought it would.

happydan Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 im thinking purely from a tactical gameplay point of view. for balancing purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HertogJan Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I think the goldguy animation is just for fun... Why would you be able to connect two single sabers?? Takes all the fun away... I hope you can't have all the sabers available at the same time, so you must choose which one you want, not change to duble sabered when you're in a fight...

Prime Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I agree. I hope you have to choose which style you want to use. I think it would be overkill if you could be a master at all styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes all the fun away... I agree, in my earlier post I was simply suggesting that the blocking looked much better then I thought it would......since we have never seen it before [not in the movies anyway]. I don't think we'll be able to connect the sabers either. I hope you can't have all the sabers available at the same time, so you must choose which one you want, not change to duble sabered when you're in a fight... I would think that one would have to choose a style and stick to that.......only be a master at one different combat stlye at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happydan Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 id have to say that all jedi would be able to use one sabre, and have one of the other 2 as a SKILL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taekwondo joe Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 i quess we wil have to wait and see, hmm, man i hope they release a demo real soon so i can jump for joy, and not have to wait, or at least before the game comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iblis Reborn Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 Originally posted by happydan i reckon light staff and dual sabres should have reduced blocking capabilities against blaster fire, but better defence/offence against single sabre. that would make team games more interesting... as well as co-op. from what ive heard the only way to be effective with a 2sided saber is to put constant pressure on your opponent(s) because you dont have very good defence with it no idea about blaser shots though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattJedi Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Well in reality it would be easier to block blaster fire with a lightstaff cause it covers more area and requires less movement to block, however Raven is probly gonna make all sabers equal when it comes to blaster fire. Man I would have liked to see Maul block some blaster fire with his, that would have been sweet, I wonder what moves he would have made to do so..??

happydan Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 i think maybe the option of a single blade to boost defence against blasters could be good, or maybe just use agility and speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaming_wolf Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 I dont no about every 1 elese or whever any 1 elese has brought this up, but in the game your "supposed" to be able to combine force attack ie throw and attack if this is right it would mean staff sabers would become well pathetic and so would single sabers as haveing 2 sabers would have a distsinct advantge ie been able to perform to types of move. any way ill be using 2 sabers or 1 no matter what i hate the maul type sabers i think they suck and r over gloryfied.

flaming_wolf Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 1 more thing were all going on about hoping that the light staff won't be to dominating but if u look at the screen shots most of them r of a jedi using a duel bladed saber so i dont think there will be much choice on what saber is dominant or not. 1 thing that maybe be decent though would be for a duel bladed saber to be choped in half and remained that way at least till the end of the mission or u get back to the acadamy. and the same could also hapen to having duel sabers but u could lose 1 meanin that the single saber will allways have to be masterd or respected by players at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattJedi Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Nothing is going to be dominant, they are all going to be balanced out, like everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormHammer Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Originally posted by MattJedi Nothing is going to be dominant, they are all going to be balanced out, like everything else. We can certainly hope that will be the case...but until we actually play the game for a little while, none of us really know about any particular moves or styles belonging to a particular saber might prove dominant in a variety of situations. the more they increase the number of moves and abilities, the harder it is to play-test them all effectively, and get the right balance. flaming_wolf.... The idea of being able to cut a dualstaff in half, like Obi-Wan did to Darth Maul in Episode I, could be a good disadvantage/weakness of that weapon that may be exploited by a skilled player. It would be good to see that included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaming_wolf Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 MattJedi Nothing is going to be dominant, they are all going to be balanced out, like everything else. I hope that all the sabers arn't balanced out and they each have there own plus and minus points so players would be sacraficing 1 thing for another. So for example the lightstaff would be a gud melee wepon but not as effective as the single saber at deflecting shots. StormHammer could be a good disadvantage/weakness of that weapon that may be exploited by a skilled player. It would be good to see that included I dont think that having the lightstaff choped in half could actually be exploted that much by players unless raven put in a move designed to do this or the player was extreamly skilled. It would be a gud weakness for the wepon and stop it been as dominant as it was in JO when the cheat was activated or a mod was on allowing u to use it. Iblis Reborn well one thing might be that they are showing the 2sided one cause its new and they wanna show it off Actually the lightstaff isnt the newist saber duel sabers is since it only appeared in Ep2 where as the light staff was in Ep1 and can allso be used in JO by cheats and is featurd in a lot of diffrent mods. For example admin, omni and JK2 the fans version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example admin, omni and JK2 the fans version it is the newest saber its a completely new saber where as the dual sabers are just 2 of the same old one your right though it is the newest style they might not have figured out how to make it look really kewl yet though...that could explain why theres only one pic with 2 sabers that ive seen we will be seeing more of them as we go along though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaming_wolf Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I hope we do see more screen shots of the duel sabers. I allso hope they build a lot on the idea of combine force powers id love to be able to throw 1 of my sabers at an enemy push another 1 out of the way and hack his friend limb from limb.

I'd love to be able to do that, too. I guess we'll have to wait for some E3 footage to see if it's in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetech3000 Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Originally posted by Prime Personally, I think this is all getting out of hand. Call me a traditionalist, but I'm a little nervous about everybody running around in MP with either a lightstaff or two lightsabers. Surely some people still want the old single? Single is best. And lightstaff splitting was in the JK mod Stories Untold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
