Well, I don't find it very different from before. Maybe some bizarre kills, but it's still a few hits before a death.

And trust me you can get one hell of a lenghty duel out of basejka

i just found out that thats because people are so scared of being hit and crippled/1 hit killed; they spend lotsa time running around and not attacking or only countering

Like i said ealier, there are still changes I can make, by undoing all the things, i was told to do to fix the damages, since those fixes were work arounds to get things to work with out the tools raven used.

We didn't say it was basejka every time a new version of the Mod was released, we just said it was "As close to basejka as we can get it".

And there is a difference this time, and that is that Orion recieved information from Raven themselvs on how to make the Mod administration only and pure basejka.

Well, they've said it's basejk settings for a long time, and we all know that isn't true.

To be honest, the damage does seem a little bit high for basejk. Not enough to really make a huge difference in gameplay, but enough to notice. I'm happy with it either way, I just don't think we should be too confident in saying that it's DEFINATELY basejk.

And their reasons for lying about this would be what?

There is no conspiracy to find there.

You misinterpreted what I said, HW. They were saying that it was BaseJK with every version, more or less, but then found out there were glitches that made it un-basejk.

not necessarily. other ranked members have said that the damage isnt quite right still.

Yeah. But there is no doubt in my mind that is is base dmg now. It was looked over VERY carefully to get it right.

Yep i agree, its definately base dmg.
I guess the reason why ppl are complaining is the randomness of the current dmg system, though.

People expect certain dmg when doing certain moves.But with the current settings...well...some moves deal dmg (sometimes...not everytime) against everyones expectation which results in a more "luck"-like gameplay...

I still feel more comfortable with the current settings then with the old ones tho =)

Well, actually, how the config is... it's not basejka config at all. I used to play on pubs, which were basejka only, so no mod and dmg was quite different...
Here, on JA servs it's a "bit" overpowered now.

thanks, (btw this happened while i was duelling someone else who used duals). would this impact damage? hypothetically if i ran into the kata would it do the same damage as if 2 sabers were spinning?

a bit off point, but something else weird happened since the changes. The dual saber kata sends only 1 saber spinning around.

That would be a defect in your skin thats causing that.

I think it is a definite change that will take just a tad to get use too, but new challenges make things fun and exciting, no?

I'm for it, for sure

Also, before the mod was compiled with this compiler, you could still do one hit strikes.

I didn't say I don't like it, I said it's not realistic in the slightest, mister trying pathetically to patronize.

And running around with big laser swords is realistic? Tell ya what. I would think it more realistic as it is now. If someone hit you in the gut with a concentrated laser beam you would be cut in half. So...that argument is right out.

Thing is...the JA is dedicated to train people in the game as it is supposed to be played. The basejk damage is essential to this.

Now I admit that I hated it when JK3 first came out. Thats no secret. But I adapted and got better. And that is what the JA is all about.

If you want longer duels...Then the best way would be to keep practising. Training on evasion is the key here.
