I'd like to make the suggestion to re-activate the saber clashes onto the server. I've noticed they have been gone for awhile and its quite sad to see that such a powerful roleplay tool was removed. I have heard that apparently it was removed as 'It did not require skill to win' and caused spars to end quickly. I'm sorry if i'm being blunt, but JEDI is not about skill so this is not a valid reason to remove it. Sadly the server has become overwhelmed with members sparring, and simply saying 'Well met' after each spar, and no this is not just targeted at students, Knights are just as bad for this. I feel that the saber clashes adds that extra buzz to roleplay, and gives you something to speak about after a spar. It creates atmosphere and draws you into the spar. I think removing it was a big mistake.
I've not only suggested this to get it activated, but also to find out why it was removed. I am getting the feeling that it was complained about by the members who take sparring more seriously on a OOC level and hence complained so they could have that JK3 experience of sparring. I'm sorry, but this is JEDI and we should focus the servers around immersion and granting that roleplay experience, not OOC spars and a console full of 'Well mets'.
- Note: You must have dual sabers for this trick. When in combat with a Dark side Force user (Reborn, etc.), lock your sabers and push the enemy back. Keep pushing until you are almost out of the lock, but do not break the saber lock. Then, press Alt + Fire. Your second saber will whirl around the two combatants, then hit the enemy somewhere.
- DESCRIPTION: 28 new saber colors to select at any time! Included is an image with each saber command, for example if you want to use the first color on the list type 'saber saber1000' into your jedi academy console. Each color has its own number for easy selection BUGS: none at all.
