| Wiggle and poke | |

Lauq - Student |
Well I finally learned what wiggle is, but I don't have a clue about poke. I am basically looking for a n explanation and some advice here, how many of you here use wiggle and poke?, what is poke?, and are either worth learning?. _______________ One of the 4 council masters who belong to <<FE>>.

I'm not sure what most people's general definition of 'exploit' is, but it should be: Quote: A security hole or an instance of taking advantage of a security hole. For example, when people wiggle, they are using a lot of unneeded mouse sensitivity to help support their ability to abuse the power of a single swing by throwing the saber into an opponent's body, taking it out, then putting it back in and repeating more times than most would care to count, all within the duration of the swing. When somebody using the strong stance pokes their saber into an opponent and holds it there, the same amount of damage is constantly being given out to the opponent. This is due to the method that was used to determine the way that strong stance deals its damage. I think it is quite obvious that said areas were not intended to be abused, especially in the ways I have briefly described above. Please keep in mind that this is all based on what I have been told and from my experience of playing the game. |

Exploits in JKA are tricky things. First, it is important to ask what defines an exploit, where it is that the line is drawn? Is it an exploit to run along a wall to delay the swing? What about if I backflip to delay it? Is it an exploit if I move my saber towards my opponent effectively making it swing faster? Should I only swing and not turn at all hoping they do not move much themselves? How much am I allowed to turn before it is exploitive? Is it as bad to wiggle after I have hit as it is to exploit to try to hit? What about cartwheels? Is it an exploit if I swing beforehand causing it to do damage if I am touched? It is difficult to find a concrete answer that satisfies everyones definitions of an exploit. Then there is the more practical matter of effectiveness. We have all seen people who assume that the more they spin or wiggle or what not the better they will do, we have all seen these people lose very quickly. By that token obviously simply exploiting more does not help you, therefore a balance is necessary. As a balance is necessary, and the exploit requires no modification to the JKA client or server, and is easily performed (often by those who may be unaware of it) could it be considered a skill rather than an exploit? Not everyone plays base JKA. JA+ is, as much as I hate it, a popular mod. The ghosting and other problems it has are terrible. Wiggling is one way to combat this (at least one of the hits will likely make it through). It can also be seen by some as a way to balance single sabers with dual and staff. Duals and staff have the advantages of higher parry, speed comparable to yellow, and more damage. Wiggling can be used to break through parries, as well as to parry yourself. Granted, a single saber with sufficient skill will be able to overcome a dual or staff user without exploiting (depending on their skill as well) Exploiting is far from necessary to win. There are plenty of skilled duelists who do not use them (depending on your personal definition of exploits). Exploiting is something that has become so mainstream it is a part of the game. No matter what your play style (unless you do simply swing your saber without touching your controls) someone is going to take issue with it. |

Your right, to a degree. Just because someone might be of the opinion that evolution doesn't exist, it doesn't make them right. It makes them ignorant, or, should I say, ignorance makes them of that opinion. Ignorance is not a bad word, it simply means uninformed. Just as those who feel wiggle is not exploiting the engine, and is simply the best way to win are ignorant. A nubs opinion weighs very little, no matter how good they think they are, they can be proven wrong by a masterful player. _______________ I know whats been troubling you......

Personally i just feel everyone should stop pushing their own opinion. Some people hate it, other's love it and there are even a few who dont really care. What is sad is that people are criticised for having an opinion on the matter. There is nothing wrong with liking it, and there is nothing wrong with hating it- I, for example, hate it - not because its an 'exploit' but because I want to fight 'normally' and just dont enjoy having my opponent doing weird and wonderful things with his saber that look really unrealistic (even for starwars). However, that is just my opinion. Can anyone criticise my opinion? of course not- you cannot deny the fact that this is how I feel. Now, if everyone just started their post with 'IMO', instead of making it seem like fact and then criticising everyone else holding the opposing view, everything would be dandy ^^ anyways- thats my 54 cents  |

Quote: Are nubs still wiggling in this game? I've never seen a single player that wiggled wehre I was like: "wow, that was a sweet move" Why? Because it simply takes less skill to wiggle or spin than to actually Master the saber. However, it is human and animal nature alike that leads us down the easier path. Exploiters simply copy the style of others, creating no real style of their own. Truly good players are recognizable regardless of name because pwning with a saber is disticntly different from exploiting the games engine. bo, your posts are always interesting to read _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

We consider it an exploit, and we can beat almost any TFFA team in jka when at full strength, so gg to your 'you only moan cos you cant beat it lolz!' theory. Totally agreed. Playing non-poke requires more skills, but is much, much enjoyable imo. (for example your eyes and hands don't hurt after playing a while)  And your hand! xD |

Lol. i can garantee ive had more exploit experience than you, and i know why i would 'want' or 'need' to use it.and i used to think the same xD so im actualy laughing from Dayjavoo. Abusing it as in gaining multiple hits within a single swing. _______________ Quote: I mostly agree oh Lord of the squeezy mop

Quote: there is nothing wrong with poking and wiggling its not dishonorable to use what is dishonorable is when people cry and complain about it. if the designers had wanted to get rid of this they would of but they can't because it is part of their velocity engine. if you want to say its dishonorable to use it then fine but its only using the engine to its full capacity and using everything it has to offer. if u wish to flame me then do so i don't care but ur in a very one minded community it has some cool people in it but you shouldn't all be so one minded about what is right and wrong. Lofl. Meant to use it? Its not using the velocity engine, its abusing it. theres a difference. _______________ Quote: I mostly agree oh Lord of the squeezy mop
