quote: '1.03 killed JO'

i'm afraid i have to disagree. 1.04 duels aren't fun to play neither to spectate. people usually just swings around like crazy (red stance most of the time), and the most lucky wins the duel. i am one of the quitters: since 1.04 was released, i stopped playing JO. i just had no more fun playing the game. and that's a shame. i think it is kinda st00pid that a patch can make people hate a game they loved just 1 minute before.
IMO, the only thing 1.04 should have really fixed was the pivot thingy. everything else was just great.

yes, 1.03 duels were more jedi-like, specials made sense back then, the whole combat had more harmony and duels were often something memorable.

-IMO-

1.03 vs 1.04, my preference was 1.04.. but both pale in comparison to 1.02

ALOT of players left after 1.02.. it pretty much put the nail in the coffin of competitive play and duels got stale. Backstab backstab backstab to red stance > *.

As always though, my main concern is the CTF style teamplay. I'd like a good saber/gun balance.

Well I think 1.02 was the best version. The battle tactics always had more strategy in them. 1.03 and 1.04... made it like everything would be given to you. the backslash in red had perfect damage. I mean if you complain about lightsaber damage being to powerful..thats just kinda foolish. How many times do u need to be slaped by a weapon that should tear of limbs in 1 hit? 2 hits to death by red stance I found was brilliant. U get hit 1nce and the strategy changes cause u know 1 more and ur gone. Let games be games. They make them the way they do for a reason. You dont see a painting and tell the creater to change it because u dont like it...u can say u dont like it. Fine then dont look at it. or for this case dont play it. Find a game that u enjoy more. no sense complaining about something that you cannot change. It's fine to talk to other people about it and see how they feel about it. But when I played 1.02 I heard alot of complaints in the game. But I knew just like every1 else who played the game they would get used to their problems and their experiance would get rid of any doubts about the game.

It will be 1.02 controll only lot less damage. or so i heard...

I just hope the backstab is difficult to block

also...
medium/strong stance: Slow and not more powerfull than normal slash

light stance: faster than other stances and more powerful than normal slash, could be slightly weaker than medium slash or the same

Do you want people running around backwards? Doesn't that look kind of silly?

no, but backstab is already in the game, I just want it to be less powerfull in terms of damage output
I dont mind its difficult to block (difficult NOT impossible), because its also difficult to hit with, only the light stance version is fast to execute, and it requires more precision/luck.

Personally I havent had much problems with people running around backward and backstabbing all the time, none actually, what kind of morons are you playing against anyway?

ok ok backstab is dangerous, if you dont see it comming and take af few a steps back
All I am saying is make it difficult to block, instead of impossible, kind of like strong stance.
Have it do normal slash damage for medium/strong stance, and more than normal light stance damage, with light stance backstab.

Pragmatically I wouldnt miss the medium backstab at all, and it would be alot easier to remove it, than tweaking damage output and block difficulty.

sorry guys but bringing back old topics is not allowed on these boards. hence the padlock
