I realize that this is already set in stone but it would be cool if, instead of having tons of armor, jedi had a %chance to deflect blaster bolts and saber attacks. Would make things more realistic (I use the term loosely) and it would look really great.
Yeah, I totally agree. It would be an awesome way for the jedi to hit far off targets. :)
Yeah, it would be cool if the bolts still did damge like normal, but they were randomly deflected off. If one of these deflected bolts happened to hit an enemy unit wihtin a range, then it would take half the damage of the orignal laser. Or something like that...
Don't Jedi already 'deflect' blaster bolts?...not in the sense you guys are talking about, but laser fire doesn't always hurt them and it's assumed they deflected it (even though there's no animation to show them deflecting it).
I thought I read that somewhere?
like all things, this most likely could have been done, but wasn't because of sheer game-speed.
such a thing requires serious calculations if you have an army of Jedi marching up against blasters. The trick is to have the game running as fast as you can with as much happening on screen as possible
That would be awesome to see, and with the higher the status of the jedi, the higher the ability to deflect blasts. That would be pretty cool to see.
That's GREAT idea! It would be awesome to see the Jedi deflecting bolts back in their opponent's faces! Maybe they could have a bonus versus :bdroid2: s.
There are advantages and disadvantages. Certainly the calculations would be significant but nowadays it could probably be done without TOO much loss of speed. Maybe not though. The armor does in a way show deflection as each bolt doesn't do as much damage, but it just isn't the same. I still think that it would be a great feature if it could be done.
I also think it would decreasethe framerate because those bolts go really fast and to have them shooting from lots of jedi like that can seriously drop it.
they already have plenty of pierce armor/dura armor...so if they dont deflect blaster bolts thats fine.....i do however like Tie Guy's idea
