Well FaDed, it's time to start from scratch. Maybe you, JP and Hardwired can meet me on the server sometime? Khalek and Kyp can come too, if they don't hate me for not being around... lol

Oh, and as for the flying, It requires more use of strafing now... It's actually better, once you get the hang of it. Also, the ships are INCREDIBLY fragile... No more hanging on objects for 5 full seconds and flying away.

The rolling does upset me a bit, but oh well... Something else to learn. :D

I made a few one-hit-kills today, but it *has* been reduced. I was training with a partner to see the major differences. The "feel" on most of the sabers (including yellow & red, but I don't specialise in dual or staff) has been changed as well. More... balanced, I would say. I like it.

On another note, why is this thread in the Academy forum instead of the JK: JA forum? Reason I'm asking is because there's also a thread regarding the patch over there...

I do not know if anyone has noticed or if I am just being obvious, but they have changed the staff so that when you have only one blade ignited it's RED stance and not yellow as before. I don't know about anyone else but in JKII I used Red and Yellow exclusively. This makes me happy. :)

Random damage, like others have said, has been reduced but not eliminated. I ate a one hit kill today on the home server.

Overall I am happy. I do not know why people are complaining so much about the new game, it is VERY good.

Ranja, I couldn't get jk3 to work either. I backed up my base files, then uninstalled the game but I set it to save all my save games and configurations. After I reinstalled it, all my maps, skins, sabers and extras were still there from before the uninstall. I patched it to the 1.01 then run the game. I got no errors and it works great.


Now, some things i've noticed.

Random damage was my biggest concern and it looks like it's fixed, YAY! I was on last night with YY, SS and katan and we all dueled a few. I lunged someone and kill them really early in the duel. So that leads me to believe that the lunge damage is way to much still. Rdfa kills in 1 hit too. Roll is different, -_- will take some getting used to. It's so damn slow, an attacker can run ya down and whack ya while ur trying to roll away. Therefore I rarely use roll except to stab now. :/

Overall I like it. Reason being, my duel style was helped out by this patch. Some things that I rely on less than most people are the things that were patched and who-dood (tampered with).

From what I heard this patch sounds good. But I still can't use my JK3. Going to have to try a reinstall after school.

As far as I've heard and seen, this patch does more bad than good. I'd hoped the patch would make the JA game better than it was, maybe even at the level of JK2, but now my hopes are even lowered.

Long live JK2!!! :cool: Long live the Alliance!!! :alliance:

IMO the fixed roll. Think of it this way. IRL from a standstill you cant go from a stand still to a 10 ft long roll. You gotta build up some momentum 1st. Thats what the patch did. You gotta build up some speed before you roll. Thats all.

Nope that doesn't seem to be the problem. Works great for me but I noticed a few people say they were having online access problems. If you have a fire wall that might be the reason.

Thanx Ranja that gives me a good clue. I think it's safe to say that some are having problems when they've unpacked and added extras so i'm going to move my stuff out first.
