Fencer Archive

For those of you who read the fencer boards on a regular basis, what do you think of this idea. (take a look at our top 3 issues)

Here is an idea that would solve all sorts of problems

Make the Rantok Sword good, here is an idea (this is not a new idea, has been sugested before)

3.0 speed 125-250 damage Medium APwith hams in the high teens tolow 20's

This is such an easy fix for our top 3 problems

Furthermore this is an easy programing fix, i don't know much about programing but it would seem to be easy.

I am not even complaining about the fact that EVERY other profession can buy their weapon while we have to do a quest to get ours.

yes it is and easy fix and while i like it, it lead to a couple problems.However the difficultry in getting one could make up for the its kinda high stats , not too mention our best weapon really does need to be sword. I dont really know if its the best idea but hey isay have Raph send it to the combat devs with a good explaination and who know we might just get somethin similar.

If I remember correctly, the problem with Rantoks is that you can get them indefinitely from Jabba by constantly refusing to give him back the sword and doing the mission over and over.

It needs to be craftable, or can only be recieved once from Jabba. That will make it more unique (and valuable).

Seems overpowered. HAM costs would be WAY too low with the stated speed, damage, and AP2.

I remember looking at the stats on a Jabba Rantok. The stats sucked, of course, but not as bad as I would expect. This makes me think that if the weapons were player craftable, they would be a really, really good weapon.

it could be a little longer too. our curved seems too short as well. we just need more swords. period.

you know what else would be cool?

the ability to lock the hotbars so I will stop knocking my moves out of their slots and into other ones. nothing bugs me more to be in a fight and find that one of my moves is no longer where it should be.

what are you doing that moves your moves? i've not once had that problem... i also hotkey everything. intimidate is "i", warcry is "u", etc. so maybe that's why i have no issues.

are you a mouse user? ugh. i hate computer mice as much as you hate pets. no, more. definitely more. the mouse is the biggest efficiency sink of a computer. don't even touch it unless you're moving the camera.

I have to disagree, giving us an uber sword is not the answer. I think giving vibroblade and daggers medium to high AP would be better. Instead of having one with both high damage and AP, make us decide high damage OR high AP.

I agree with Sir Voor. Fencers have much better defenses than say a swordsman. The swordsman, however, does more damage to balance out the worse defenses. Fencers should not be given a sword that is as good as the swordman's two hand curved sword, which, along with PHs, is the weapon mostswordmen use. This would put fencer damage in line with swordsmen, which would be unfair IMO. Although it stinks, not having AP2 weapons and doing less damage is what fencers trade for better defense. However, I do absolutely agree that the best fencer weapon should be a sword. It shold do about the same damage as the gaffi stick and have AP1. That would be a reasonable request I think.

Yes im a mouse user. I despise using the keyboard forgames.Too many controls and this game puts all others to shame when it comes to thenumber ofkeyboard commands for me to deal with. I use it for typing and that is all. I have a Nostromo N50 speedpad that I've got all my movement keys and heals, inventory, map, datapad and stuff like that on and I use the mouse for everything else. I like as few controls as possible. I guess it comes from owning nearly every console since the 2600 and growing up with a gamepad in my hands. Even though I've been playing PC games since thedays of Doom, I still prefer the simplicity of a gamepad over a device designed for typing. This game has been an entirely new experience in control frustration for me.

lol. we do hijack some threads around here. we should just start our daily yack thread. the only problem is, we usually start off talking about the subject but thenit just goes off in some direction that has nothing to do with it.

Altair,

Hehehe let me say this ... Use the force, Altair, use the force. OR ...Reach out to the consoles with your force, Altair.

Anyways, you can put stuff on the macro. Seem to work well for PvPers and some high level fencers.

i hate macros. they're so restrictive, and unneccessary. you can hit F3 F4 and F5 in a row, and it's the same thing. that way if you miss with F4, you can hit just it again.

console users are the simians of gaming evolution (joking kids: good natured ribbing).
