Came here from Xbox JK3

Hi. I'm new to Jedi Academy on the pc, but I've been casually playing the game on xbox live for about 2 years. Over time I'd thought I'd become a pretty solid player, despite all the crap so many people did on xbox live(especially the 3 man gangs running around in FFAs). After one particularly bad few games a little over a week ago I finally decided I didn't have to deal with it; with a bigger playbase on pc, there was bound to be better playing. So I began my epic quest to find this ever rarer game and finally I found it at a small local store. As soon as I started playing I had a feeling that my guess was right, no BS. However, pride aside, I also soon realized how terrible us console guys are compared to you pc-ers. Just want to tip my hat to you guys, as an experienced, if casual, Xbox Live player, that damn you guys play alot better. I'm still just as excited about the game, but I now see I've got some work to do if I want to have a chance. That led me to this place, and once again, I'm impressed. Really cool what you guys do here. Well anyway I see I rambled a bit much, so I'll be ending it. Thanks guys for what you do here, and I hope to see you guys in game. Oh and thanks to Ian Jandos for giving me some tips earlier today. Later

I had the "pleasure" of playing jk3 on xbox once. God did it suck. Being limited to using one maybe two fingers to control your movement(its been quite sometime and I don't remember the control scheme) when you're used to using three fingers, it was just a flailing game. Couldn't perform any combos so I just used a staff because of its constant chaining.

You'll find a lot more control and finesse is needed in playing on PC than there was on the Xbox.

Welcome to the PC version then. I only played xbox live once for a few weeks on jka and It didn't really suit me very well. Although that's all a matter of taste.

You'll find a few confident and overly confident players on JKA when you walk onto some of the more competitive baseja/bwn dueling servers. Although it's always drastically overestimated how many of those players actually are floating around.

Hope you enjoy the PC version.

Welcome to the Academy, Theodosius! (good nickname anyway :))
In my opinion players behavior doesn't depend on the machine what they play with. Behind every displays there are humans with different flavours. Many of them are cool guys, some of aren't. We have to respect them by their behaviors
The purpose of our community is to play this game as human beings :)We try have fun and let the others also having fun :)
So enjoy your stay here and welcome again! :)

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

What Laz said, although you're too kind. Although most of the people in this community are nice, I can assure you you're still going to deal with problems. Mostly on public servers and such, where you're sure to find people being rude.

Anyways, welcome to the Academy! If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line, and see you on the servers soon!
