I don't play much MP, so forgive me if im being foolish. (a lot of this may already exist) A Good vs Bad server option sounds like a great idea, whether or not it is instead of or as well as the blue vs red. Or even an option for the server to give...  [Read More]

i always quite liked the idea of force rage, seemed to fit in quite well to the ethos of the movies... but i do think there should be a similar light side meditation power... look at that bit in ep1 where maul and qui-gon are on other sides of the...  [Read More]

random thoughts: some sort of Force Shockwave that pushed people out from around you would be cool (L1 just pushes them back, L2 sends them flying, L3 also does damage), kind of an unfocused force push. i never liked blinding or deadly sight, suck...  [Read More]

i doubt anyone will agree with me, but it thikn you should be limited to 2 saber styles (pick any two). It would make switching betweens styles a lot easier (i button to switch, rather than cycle). oh, and i agree with most of the balancing issues m...  [Read More]

said it many times before, but NPCs are a must, and Deus Ex and NOLF rock! ps/ deus ex still implements a lot of effects that i don't remember being in JO (mirrors, water etc..). The polys are lower, but the rest of it compares well. oh, as for EU...  [Read More]

the best way to differentiate between dark and lightsiders would be for each to regenerate Force Power in different ways... and/or different force powers to use different amounts of power. Lightsiders might regenerate while stationary or at rest, w...  [Read More]

if you accept that lightside powers aren't usually offensive, then they have to be fairly defensive. You can then make these defensive powers either passive or active. Personally, i really dislike the idea of passive defensive powers, it often seem...  [Read More]
