Well, that's good news to hear. I won't be putting any servers up personally, except for a little lan gaming against one other person. What you said is definitely encouraging though. The only concern I have now is that if everything is customizable...  [Read More]

I disagree with the idea that the sabers needed to nerfed. I think JO/JA collapsed for three reasons. Most of them have already been mentioned. 1.) The Community Nuff said. We had too many 12 year olds given extensively annoying and easy to use adm...  [Read More]

Thanks for all the replies. I'm still seriously considering buying up. However, I guess I do have one or two more questions. It's always about being selective with any Jedi Knight game. JK, MOTS, JO, always had a bunch of whiny kids nested somewher...  [Read More]

Yeah, I know this kind of thread is probably annoying by now, especially this late in the game. I was watching the forums for a while, and for months I'd see the game sitting on the shelves, but I just kept thinking "Naw, there just isn't goin...  [Read More]

Basically, saber down = peace boils down to one thing: Ego. Too many people whining that they got killed while chatting in the middle of the game. It's amazing, especially because it makes so LITTLE sense. You don't play pro football and expect eve...  [Read More]

I guess I still don't get it. My question still stands though. If the 'patch' that comes prematurely, or whenever, simply allowed people to toggle the kick, etc, what would be so wrong? This community won't be unified anyway, even if Raven does dec...  [Read More]

that's a difficult question prime. the answer, I feel, is this. In previous dueling, where kick existed, kick was just another move. I didn't need the blue saber or the red saber to do the trick. I wasn't stuck with a bunch of moves that I probably...  [Read More]

Well.... a few suggestions have been given, albeit weak suggestions. It's becoming more and more clear that a kick, along with changes that allow the competitive games to actually be 'competitive' instead of 'stalemated' is necessary. Saber Staff k...  [Read More]

I see what you're getting at Prime. To be honest, I'm not a 'fan' of the kick system either, but it's there, and I always felt that amidst the constant saber spamming, etc., there has to be at least one or two good, solid moves to counter it. Unfor...  [Read More]

Well Razorace, you're right on the one point. I don't consider myself an elite player by any means, and the chances of getting two games is slim to none, but I figured I'd throw that out there. At the same time, it's quite hard not to sound "...  [Read More]

Precisely. I'm quite impressed that so far, we've only had about three useless comments in this thread, most of which consisted of "learn s0m3 sk111z0rz". That's good, it's easily ignored. However, I think it also points back to my sugg...  [Read More]

It's obvious that the mod community will never fix this. The one key thing a mod needs to be successful is it's core game. If the base game does not constantly appeal to large audiences, especially it's competitive base, then a mod will hardly be s...  [Read More]

This game is not the movie, and I'll agree that if we all had super powerful sabers and guns that were pitiful, then the game would hardly be any fun. I think the main killer of the game for me is just the limited effectiveness of the saber. Yes,...  [Read More]
