| Suggestion: JK2 Night | |
|
GHarris - Student  |
A bunch of us were playing in the JK2 home server today for the first time in ages... brought back quite a few memories  . Anyway, I was thinking that maybe we could have a 'JK2 Night' once a month where we all go back onto the JO servers. Sound like a good idea? Edit: First JK2 Night is on Saturday the 26th! Be there ... or <insert threat here>! Yeah! And don't you forget it! Edit: The first JK2 Night went pretty well... there were 11 players on the Home server at its peak. We started off with a mess about with amsit... setementor sat atop an amsit tower, until cmad caged him in trip mines . Followed that up with some rocket-orbiting taken to extremes, a mass FFA gunfight, and then some good old-fashioned saber duelling. Thanks to everyone who turned up, and extra thanks to cmad for pimping jk2 night on irc . Demos of the rocket-based madness can be found here: http://www.thejediacademy.net/forums_detail_page.php?f_id=9202We should definitely do this again. And soon, I think. Maybe make it a weekly thing? _______________ Q: What do you call a man with bread and butter pudding on his head? A: Pudding Gentleman Type B!

Nah, I just called it 'Night' for the sound of it. I myself probably won't be on until 6PM GMT or thereabouts, but by all means get on with it earlier _______________ Q: What do you call a man with bread and butter pudding on his head? A: Pudding Gentleman Type B! |

Well considering I DO own JK2 but do NOT own JA, count me in! Weekends are cool but is this going to be a saturday evening/night thing? I don't know about others but on saturday nights I party, and that's without a computer. (Tho a night of JK2 is a lot cheaper.) _______________ Owner of the Gradius Telegraphman Award |

Well I plan to be on tonight and at least for a little while any night that I'm on. I disagree that the fixed damage of JK2 meant better tactics. My understanding is that at least part of the variable damage in JK3 is because of hit location, i.e. a head hit is better than a foot hit. I always thought that was one of the (very few!) shortcomings of JK2. Plus, I don't like the idea of mentally tallying how many health my opponent has--not very "realistic" at all compared to the glowing "wounds" in JK3. _______________ My signature is only one line.

I think weekends would probably be best for turnout...probably the same times that people populate the JKA servers... _______________ Part-Time Player (Weekend Warrior). Recipient of the prestigious "Longest-Post-Ever Award" (bestowed on me by Flash on March 23rd, 2004) |

It's not really important for it to happen once a month instead of, say, once a week... I just thought that giving it some sort of rarity value would ensure a great turnout. I think some people just need reminding of why JK2 is so good... if JK2 night becomes redundant after the first occasion then that can't be a bad thing Let's do the first one soonish... not during the prom weekend, that'd be suicide , but not too long after. Would a weekend be best (in terms of people being available), or doesn't it matter? _______________ Q: What do you call a man with bread and butter pudding on his head? A: Pudding Gentleman Type B!

@02b-1dai: JO was better becouse of many things you dont see in the first moment. 1. You calculate how much damage you make. a normal hit with yellow takes off 20 hp, with red 50-80. there are no weired damage things like in JA. you make always the same damage, so you can use much more tactics. 2. there are only 3 spetial moves, but these are very good. the lunghe is nearly the same as in JA, it only dont make so much damage. the rdfa is a killer. even if its not very usable becouse of your weekness, but on pit it pwnes! so is the ydfa much more dangerous. it hits much more often, and if its performed good, you can make much damage. its just a great move if you know to put it into your style. but its harder to perform becouse your opponent needs to be in your crossair... 3. and maybe most important one, you have saber-saber countering. In jk3 its there too, but i didnt find a way to perform it effective. In jk2, if sabers are slashing, you can use the new speed of the saber to hit your opponent. If you master that, youre nearly unbeatable. But you need a great timing and much, much, much and much more practise to learn it. in my subjective view, i feel like i have more controll in jk2 than in 3. but thats maybe i played it before jk3, dont know... its just my feeling. greetings, daid PS: hey, i like the idea too! i like to play some jk2 again _______________ Founder of the Fisto Family -|- Member of the mighty FiZZsters!! -|- Owner of the second Bail prize for "BAIL RULES!!" -|- I'll never forget you Jaina! -|- Owner of the one and only autograph of Smily -|- SMILY RULES -|- Owner of the 1000th Comment of the great Kueller -|- Big brother to NarCosT Fisto, and ShadowFax . -|- Proud Padawan of Kueller -|-Sir Daidalus Fisto.

Althougth i was a very long time inactive (of course you didn't notice,eh? ;P) i would like to join that one. I have to ask my parents everytime i want to play JA, so since JO isnt played anyore, there was no attraction to me. I would join... _______________ ph34r d4 cu73 On3z |

yea it was pretty fun Especially building that /amsit thingy. Altho, I must say, after hearing everyone proclaim how JO > JA, esp the moves, I found it rather disappointing. I find the JA moves smoother and combos are better connected. Red seems slightly faster, and the force jump definately is. I think what ppl like so much is the sentimental value of it Not so much the game engine itself. |

I've been on the JK2 server recently, and I plan to go more often. I do not like the idea of a JK2 night once a week, and I like the idea of a monthly one even less. Why not play several nights a week? I keep hearing lots of people say that they would play JK2 if only there was ever anyone on the server. This is a self-fullfilling prophecy. Get out on the server! If you want to play on the JK2 server, do two things: 1. Get out on the server, even if it means spending ten minutes alone there. 2. Bookmark the server status page so you can check often if anyone else is on there, or use whatever other status tool you like. The demand exists. Let's play some JK2! _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

Sounds like a great idea! I love JK2... I only play JKA because no one seems to play JK2 anymore.

Indeed. But often there's nobody around to play against on the servers. If a time were set aside, it might get more people playing... and remind some more people of why jk2 > jk3 _______________ Q: What do you call a man with bread and butter pudding on his head? A: Pudding Gentleman Type B! |
