| JK3 server settings! | |
|
Cloaked Thunder - Student  |
Well, lemme first off say that the JA's JK3 server is the worst server for random hits and weird damage. A setting that brings back the JK2 aspect on dueling. Here is the quote by DS. "A new setting that brings certain JK2 behaviors back to JKA. This setting does the following: Auto block is back!! If you stand with your saber in a ready position it will block incoming attacks and the other guys saber will bounce off). Burn rate baby!!! Yes thats right.. if you hit someone it will burn.. if you walk up to them and stick your saber tip in them it will burn 1 hp per second... oh ya!! Finally... last but not least.. no more damage variance.. thats right.. blue hits yellow hits... red hits... dual hits.. staff hits will ALWAYS do the same amount of damage... no matter where you hit... " d_saberGhoul2Collision "0" (default: 1) This setting disables Ghoul2. (it was disabled by default in JK2). When Ghoul2 is disabled, JKA players have better saber control and reaction time, which is most noticeable with single saber. This setting also gives single saber a better fighting chance in the weaker stances (blue and yellow) against the dual sabers or staff. Hit detection seems more accurate (less sabers passing through your enemy without doing damage). d_saberSPStyleDamage "0" (default: 1) This setting disables the JKA Single Player Style Damage settings. This changes reverts JKA saber/damage behavior back to that of JK2. Autoblock (when in ready position) is once again enabled. Burn rate i.e. walking up to someone and putting a saber in them does 1hp damage per second. Damage is once again consistant, the amount of damage done by a hit is specific to the style/stance and move you use. *note* Beware, this setting greatly increases Backstab and Roll Stab damage.. If someone rolls at you keep out of reach and counter any stabs to discourge abuse posted http://www.bladeworks.net/articles.php?id=2 And that is the truth guys i've experienced this first hand and it does work and it's awesome. I'm not sure if the JAC's wanna change this setting because i've heard that some ppl want it as close as retail as they can get. IMHO the retail settings BLOW!!!!!!!  I've had a one swipe from staff kill me numerous times when I use single saber on the JA jk3 server. omfgh4x! that sucks. If ya wanna see the setting first hand then go to any server in your server list that has an @BWN after the name. example: jediservers.com @ BWN. They are all duel servers though.

I haven't had a chance to test it yet, really. I kinda got a few duels in...it did seem *LOTS* better. I'll be testing it out more this weekend. From what little I did see though, it seemed to make a big difference. _______________ Part-Time Player (Weekend Warrior).

ok guys as of 6am GMT the JASE server has the aforementioned setting enabled. There is countering and blocking now along with a pretty good amount of damage issues resolved, well except for roll stab and back swing. But anyways, feel free to stop by and have a duel or 3 and see what ya think. bawk bawk chicken head! _______________ Padawan of ShadowSith | Close JA Family: Darth Mobility, Katan, Jedi Prodigy, Virtue,D@rth M@ul, Virtue, Flash, Bandit, Yin Yang, JK-XIII, Faded, Silk Monkey, Skyler, `Orion, Aratan, SmilyKrazy, Faded Angel, and your mom | woot!

What I don't like is how a simple regular hit from staff can knock you down 50hp. But a rdfa doesn't even knock out full shields. Also the almost certain chance of death from the specials on staff and duals. Honestly the damage from staff and duals should be exactly the same as medium saber stance. The advantage in them should be the fact that you have TWO saber blades. Not that the hits do more damage, but that you have a better chance of causing more hits. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

I've had the pleasure to play on the BWN servers with CT and i think ive been on the JA server once, since then, the retail blows and ruins the game, these quick settings makes the game much more enjoyable, good work CT! _______________ 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 got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??" |

This is not going to happen. You know how long Jake has been complaining (well, asking ) The JACs to enable kill on the servers, and its just ONE simple cvar...

After today, I'm all for this. I'm sick of one-hit kills. |

oh yeah, truth of the matter is: It's no fun being 1 hit killed, just pisses me and im sure other experienced players off. It's no fun being spammed to death by some noob that uses staff and knows how to hit up + jump + attack....thats it,...the only move they know. In most cases butterfly = uber noob. Im not talking about the more experienced duelers, for instance Yin yang, she uses staff and does very well with it and doesn't spam specials, ( yay YY) . It's no fun having to run from an attacker because there is no auto saber blocking especially when a duel saber attacker can run after ya and hit ...left right left right crouch repeat! That kinda stuff ruins good duels IMHO! Dueling IMO is about throwing your opponent off time, being patient and knowing when to attack, learning the opponents moves and tendancies, nailing that combo at the perfect moment and timing counters. It's impossible to do this with these current settings. Seroiusly though, the JA (us) have pull with JAC's. If enuff of us, (faithful JA community members), make it a point to say we like the jk2 settings they will change it.(*prays*) Like aphex said, what if they don't fix it with a patch, then what? I think we could atleast try the jk2 settings and see what people think. /wimpers  _______________ Padawan of ShadowSith | Close JA Family: Darth Mobility, Katan, Jedi Prodigy, Virtue,D@rth M@ul, Virtue, Flash, Bandit, Yin Yang, JK-XIII, Faded, Silk Monkey, Skyler, `Orion, Aratan, SmilyKrazy, Faded Angel, and your mom | woot!

what makes you guys think that a patch from raven will fix this "problem" i say "problem" in quotes because its only a "problem" from a certain point of view. perhaps raven WANTED the damage to be like that. to be more "realistic" or whatever. if and when they do release a patch, it mite not exactly be what you guys are expecting. the problem is...they incorporated this new "realistic" damage system, but we have nowhere near "realistic" control over the saber. running circles around each other, waiting for the other person to do 1 of 7(plus specials) different moves, then attacking is NOT realistic saber combat. its just silly. edit-- oh yeah. my point is...instead of waiting for a patch that probably WONT fix the "problem" we should probably try to make the game as fun as possible. CT you rock. This comment was edited by aph3x on Oct 06 2003 05:50pm. |

I do really miss standing saber defense and idle damage... And the one hit kills are absurd. But, being that we're the academy and all, we do need to use what the masses are using. |
