I discussed a bit of my theory with Renegade and I think we have come to understanding about it. But in an effort to steer the topic back on track from its digression, I'll end the discussion with: MOVIE BATTLES IS GREAT. .... any arguments? I wou...  [Read More]

Actually, a delay between blocks should only be based on the pace of the duel. Adding a deliberate delay would only reduce the lack of skill required, wounding the system. The blocking and motion of the saber should all be tuned to real world (or rea...  [Read More]

I agree totally about requiring mouse control. This is the essence of melee combat of all games in the future. To control completely through the real world, relating an actual element of skill (in hand movement) to the saber. With 100% mouse to sabe...  [Read More]

Another point I can't stress enough is acceleration. We must do away with this game like pace, and bring more realism to fighting. NO I'M NOT SAYING MAKE IT A RPG. We can still have a fast paced fps, but do not exceed the speed of the movies. Keep ju...  [Read More]

Bloodriot you have some interesting points. The blocking as it stands however, is the limit to what I feel will work 'THIS' melee dueling system. A time window approach to blocking is definately even more advanced, but with jediknights quick game lik...  [Read More]

I can't believe you've removed the effect so promptly! Great work! How exactly did you do it? Anyhow, my main concern was the spark effects on saber to saber clashing, saber to blaster is just an added bonus, but the saber to saber spark removal is...  [Read More]

I fully support your jetpack decision renegade. I feel it will definately better reflect the movies, and mandalorians. On the mandalorians it would be interesting if you could borrow some of Azymn's code and features if he allows it (which I doubt)...  [Read More]

Renegade a few things... 1) What I'm proposing is having this style of fighting for all gametypes and all situations not just duels. Now I see the dilemma there, since this would slow down jedi vs. mercenary combat considerablly. Perhaps a area ba...  [Read More]

Hey renegade, Actually what I meant in point 2 and 3 are not different defences, just different 'movement'. To restrict the player from moving around crazily while battling (specifically in mid swing), instead to move with skill, more slowly yes (as...  [Read More]

Renegade you have something just wonderful here! Fantastic work. When I finally saw manual block and to my contentness, forced walk during this time, I was overjoyed. Even more so when I tried the mod. I have a couple of additions you might want to...  [Read More]

Exploring is indeed a big part of the game, as is 'living'. But pvp and combat is almost equally as big and important! If the combat is not well done (and/or) boring, much of the purpose of the game will be taken away, and from other areas of inter...  [Read More]
