I'm mainly going single saber - I wanna rock people with doublesabers or two, it'll make me look like a pro (I hope I -can- rock them. There better be some sweet singlesaber moves to balance the game out)
Oh yea, and I intend to get it... though I can't say I'll be spending any money. |

This is 99% impossible for me to say...
I like the look of a dual bladed blue saber (from pics from KoTOR and some JK2 mods), but i can't say I'll like the real thing till i've tryed it... impossible to say anything v4 i've accually tryed single saber, dualbladed, and 2 sabers with all of its stances. |

The Double bladed saber in Jedi Academy is not going to be of the same style that the cheat in JK2 allows. If you look at the screenshots you are able to do an actual kick with a double bladed saber.

I really like the idea of using two sabers. I have'nt checked the site properly yet so i'm not sure what species you can play as. But my character in Galaxies is gonna be a Zabrak so i may just stick with that. |

They wouldn't do that, Luke. They know that there are many people out there that want to use the traditional single saber. One of the pics showed a guy with one saber, and it looked like he was out of the academy. Oh yeah, my preference is: two sabers first, then double-bladed saber, and lastly a single lightsaber. Even though I am a fan of the single saber, I want to try the others and see what they are like first. Besides, after using a single saber for so long, I could do with something new. |

this is why i only use force for fun, and mostly duel.
ill def. try all out, but i like my one saber. with two sabers, your attension is divided and there are probably drawbacks. dual sbaers look alrite though, wouldnt be as hard ta control(unless u can hurt urself when using em). so prob one saber or dual. _______________ Personal body guard to teh 1337 Jacen Aratan!

Well the problem I always had as a lightsider was people running away. All you have is throw and pull really. Speed possibly but that is a waste of points for FFA and takes up loads of force power. It is nice to know you can zap someone if they're about to head for the health.

Actually I don't think it would be very neat. All I need to kill is a lightsaber so I see no need for offensive light powers.

You put forward some interesting points, and no the guards probably didn't die, but whats the say you can't use grip in a defensive way, to stop them attacking you, and in so doing, stopping them from attacking others. I can see that raven and lucasarts probably won't have offensive light powers, that wasn't really an issue (although I made it nito one  ) It would be nice though wouldn't it ? _______________ Apprenctice of Jedi Master Ascari (deceased) Descended from a line of great Jedi Will argue any point of view from any side

Ah, yes Jake I have read NJO. And I've read much farther in it than you have. So I have more insight into what is going on in it. The big argument there is when does the right to defend oneself constitute attacking first. The Jedi do use the Force in battles but it hasn't really been the Force causing the damage. What Luke does on Dantooine is use the Force to hold those Gravity Wells in place and cause damage. Don't forget that what he did there though saved many lives by doing it. That was done for protection of others. Luke's big conflict is how to fight the Vong. Are the abominations since they appear now to be voids in the Force? Should they all be slaughtered and will that be ok for a Jedi to do or should they be fought like other sentient beings? What effect will it have on the Jedi? Where you are in the novels, is where you are seeing two extremes. Kyp's view of using the Force to attack and Jacen's view of Jedi shouldn't use the Force at all. Niether of them are right. Luke is somewhere in the middle and that is the path the Jedi should take. The Force is more than a weapon or tool to just be used as an X-wing or lightsaber is.
And in ROTJ Luke did choke the guards but I don't think they died. And the mind trick he used was on a weak minded individual, someone that is susceptible to the influence. No damage was done to the Bib Fortuna by what he did. And his objective in all of it was the rescue of his friends. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

here's some 2 cents from an academy member that never got to play on the servers.
darkside is the forceside that is easy- it gives a lot of power. lightside on the other hand needs patience to work out. that's how it is illustrated in the movies. in the game, darkside offers lots of power quickly, as oppossed to the 30 minutes of adjustment the lightsider needs. that's just like it is in the movies. anyway, back to the topic. i'd use 2 sabers just for the hell of it.  _______________ Jedi wannabe yep that's me |

Well, Mace uses offensive Forces; it was intended for him to shoot some sort of Lightbolt in the Geonosian Battle Arena (i dont know why that never happened), and even his fighting style is aggresive, one that only true Jedi Masters could handle without falling to the Dark Side! So Raven could (and IMO should) make at least ONE aggresive Light Side power... But that probably aint gonna happen! _______________ Not back yet... I'll come one day, I hope...

Theres a difference between not choosing them and not having a choice As for offensive lightside, luke in ROTJ chkes the guards, uses mind trick on a few people (which is an offensive thing, maybe not physically pffensive, but offensive none the less)
You're reading NJO, I would've thought you'd remember the whole kyp duron thing with using the force offensivley to defend. This is getting towards Jacen's idea of no force use really. I mean where do you draw the line ? There comes a point when defensive action will harm an opponent but this action has to be taken in order to defend. My theory is, if its not done with evil intent then its not evil. _______________ Apprenctice of Jedi Master Ascari (deceased) Descended from a line of great Jedi Will argue any point of view from any side

Jake there won't be any offensive Light side Force powers. That's a contradiction. Jedi use the Force for knowledge and defense never attack. A real Jedi wouldn't use Force Push to send someone over a cliff. So that's really the only power that light side users can actually cause harm with. With saber throw, the lightsaber is actually doing the damage. Just like Mind trick can allow you to sneak up and kill someone. The saber is still doing the damage. Same with sending blaster bolts back to an opponent. So I doubt if you'll really see any new offensive light powers.
Oh and not using drain or heal for FF? I didn't realize there were set levels on which Force powers to use to consider something full force combat. You could allocate those points you use for heal and drain to other Force powers and it will still be a FF fight. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

Ah, well, without heal and drain is not full force is it and thats a different kettle of fish. This could go either way, but since the object is to cause damage, the darkside may still have it, as both opponents have saber and kick, and neatral forces, only dark has another way to attack and cause damage. Whereas the ligthside is meant to keep you alive.
Hopefully they'll have more offensively based force pwoers for the ligthside, as grip itself isn't evil, its only the way its used which is of dark origins. _______________ Apprenctice of Jedi Master Ascari (deceased) Descended from a line of great Jedi Will argue any point of view from any side

What do they mean that you can kick in any direction with the staff stance? I like a single saber best, but if it means having access to better kicking, I'd go with the dual blade saber. If they let you close down one side of the duel blade I will definitely use that with only one side (most of the time.) I always LOVED the way Maul's saber looked when he had only one blade extended (even better than the dual blade effect.)
About the force, dark side is stronger in the physical realm but light side is stronger in the spiritual. Jake what are your thoughts on a ff_duel between equally skilled players on opposing sides of the force using no drain or heal? Just curious. _______________ One of the Belouve boys |
