Exploits (no flaming :D)

First off, as I said no flaming please, or the thread will just be closed down. This is just for your personal opinions of 'exploits' and I really just want a clarification of the rules.

My opinion:

Basically if you can do it, I don't consider it wrong. This includes scripting (yes I know its against JA rules, doesn't make it wrong though :D)

What is the JA's standing on exploits? I read in a the intagib thread about strafe jumping being an exploit, which I spose technically is very true. However what about things such as throw pulling, swaying (or whatever it was).

Id like to clear something up too. Most people associate exploiters with high sensitivity. Mine is at 24.75 which is within the range of the bar under controls. The reason for this is I play all my FPS at high sens cause I want to be able to rturn around and shoot someoen in the face. I think its wrong when you go beyond that bar which I think maxes at 40 so....


just to clear something up for you, 24.75 in the swing of FPS gaming is absurdly high, most of the top level clanners in cs/dod use under 5. generally between 1-3 for most of them.

that doesn't detract from your ability to turn around at all, at a sens of 1.3 i can use under the width of my mousepad in one hand movement to do a 180 degree turn.

1.3 compared with 24.75, jk3 is obviously a different game from cs/dod but the sensitivitys are the same, so i dont think saying around 25 being needed to turn around would be an accurate statement.

You may disagree and express your own opinion but not by lowering people. And Talion did not insult anyone, however arrogant you find his words.

Talion, your such a fool. Get a friend of yours, join the saber ladder 2on2 division found at www.esl-europe.net , challenge *aiming, get owned by pokes (you will, I know you will, it is... inevitable) and then come tell us all "tough ****".

Talion talks about doing 1/2 or 1/4 spins whilst stopping the 1/4 spin in the moment you see your opponent infront of you...or even a bit later.
Theres nearly no difference to spins if you dont stop the mouse movement right in the moment you see your opponent infront of you.

or the "glide delay" :)

which imo is not a major exploit because it broadcasts itself so clearly, you see someone glide jump? then start to swing in the air? well guess what's coming?!?! pretty funny to fight people that rely on them heavily. they get pissed that you back away from them then attack them on your own terms :P

DELAY MONKEY'S- These guys aren't so bad, and are easier to get around then the others. Their just annoying as hell.



I'm curious to know what you mean by this. Since I often use delayed combos in red stance and don't think it has anything to do with xploits.


HEHE not those kinda delays Rosered. I'm a red user and ALL about wut ur described. I mean the kind of delay when a player jumps then attacks halfway thru the jump. When they hit the ground, their swing "freezes" a second then continues. Again sometimes it happens by accident. But people who Spam it are more annoying than a problem to beat.

Since The JA is a place of learning and a place to teach. Maybe we could put together some classes on how to get around exploits. It would be cool too have our name around the pubs as duelist who can attack w/o usin and defend against exploits.

In a way, I agree with n00b. The JK community is, and always has been, about finding new techniques, strategies, and even "exploits." Anybody who has been around for a while knows that things happen in fads.

Certain stances gain popularity. Certain moves go from being an endangered species to an everday (and sometimes everyduel) occurance. Then they fade away when something new comes around. This is how it's always been.

Now while I think that there is a chance to advance in embracing and understanding the theories behind exploits, I also think it's quite possible that we'll end up with an entire community spamming one-hit kills and we'll never advance beyond that. Is that what we're really looking for in the Academy?

I think it's a shame that we can't "rank" students because, if we could, we would be able to teach the more mature ones about exploits knowing that they will be learned, but not used. Thus, we gain knowledge without having to resort to these tactics (similar to how the histories of the Dark Side are not taught until a student is assuredly on the Light path).

I believe teaching a budding student about exploits will lead to a lot of exploiters and little understanding.

Yea it shouldnt be called a delay, but ppl call it a delay beacuse it actually "delays" your swing.

Same goes for "poking" and "wiggling".
What everyone knows as "wiggling" is actually named "poking".The technique who some ppl refer to as "poking" because you literally "poke" someone, is yet to be named.

haha i know know! *raises hand*.

Also i forgot one exploit someoen called it Delay but delays are just waiting stalling a swing what i think they meant was the hiden glide swing. which hides the first half or your swing but you dont see it and it still hits you. that is all. its not called a delay delays are something else :)

This is an extremely relevant topic because I don't even go an hour of playing before someone claims "exploit" after the duel they are in. I really really really think that we should stop comparing this game to JK2, turning every new move discovery in JK3 into an exploit. People say an exploit is something the developers did not intend. If they didn't intend it, where's the patch? JK2 had DFAs that actually work. This game has uber moves. In my opinion, it enriches the experience to kill and be killed by moves that are plentiful in comparison to the handful of DFA moves from JK2. I wish we would stop ignoring it and move on. Sauce hits the nail right on the head. If you can't counter, move out of they way when you see the "exploit" move coming. You don't have to get caught up in it. If we continue to ignore the exploits and not educate people on what they are, they won't ever see them coming in a duel. Avoiding means you have to predict. How can one predict something that one is unaware of? If we want good duellers on the publics, we need to show people what to watch out for. When everyone gets the knowledge, who knows, we may see an uprising of counter moves that takes the game another notch into the future. Exploits are a topic that everyone needs to understand so they can help negate them, in other words. Its like the staff BF as someone else pointed out. Once you know you can just merely jump out of the way, it becomes a stupid move for your opponent to do. I think that's why its not spammed as much as it was before. It rarely hits. The same will happen with these "exploit" moves as soon as the community is taught to recognize them.

just as an fyi, that number is fairly meaningless. actualy sensitivity depends heavily on the resolution of the mouse sensor. A mouse with a high res will need a lower in game sens that a mouse with a low res to achieve the same effects.

I use a sens on 50 and a cl_mouseaccel of 2 as i currently am using a cheap mouse which i got for £5. with my old mouse ( a razor booemrslang which eventually broke :( ) i had my sens at around 10-15.
