This game is not based on the E.U. Stop bringing that into conversations.

Leave LS Damage as is, otherwise they will have to rewrite EVERY creatures resist code and idd in a new damage type. I would rather they fix the bugs.

I do enough Damage as it is.

Here's my check mate:

Mara Jade only existed in the EU. Mara Jade exists in the game. Exaar Kun is from the EU. The entire planet of Lok is from the EU. Nym's stronghold is from the EU. All of these are in the game. Therefore, the EU is part of the game.

Even completely disregarding the information about Cortosis ore, a lightsaber in the movies cuts through a blast door, cuts through the armor of an AT-AT, and slices people in half. Doesn't it just seem unbelievably silly for it to be 90% resisted by flimsy composite armor?

I don't think it is necessary to even respond to Jchase. Seems like every message he posts is full of negativity. There are so many damn things in this game that did not come from the movies.

Yeah thats cause a saber is near impossible to stop hints it should go through composite armor or any other type of armor or creature with ease just like they supposed to, i mean Sabers are not glowing sticks that pummel you like a blunt object which would in my opinion make it do Kinetic Damage.

The presence of Jedi itself is a slap to the face of continuity. We've strayed so far from movie canon and EU wishes that its a giant crap shoot.

According to the EU some Jedi and FS people survived the purge. Look at how many people joined the Jedi Academy when Luke started it, and look at their average age.

ColdFyre your an idiot. This game is NOT BASED ON E.U. It has a specific time period, and they stick to that. Everything in the EU is bogus.

Live with the system, but don't talk bad about it because you think it should include stuff that isn't even part of LucasArts.

An idiot you say!! Wow... how hurtful!! What witty banter! Let me now go crawl back in the shadows and cry to mommy now that I've been put in my place.

Look J, stop being a flaming troll. Just because you don't like the EU doesn't mean everyone else feels like you do. Not all people will agree with me either... that's the great thing about opinions... we all have one.

And FWIW, I -never- talked bad about the game and both the game AND the EU are part of LucasArts. Where you get your ideas are beyond me. I WILL NOT talk bad about the game, I love it! But there are many things that I don't agree with. And the forums are a great place to state those things. Happens all the time.

And just to revise my previous opinion, while I would PREFER a new DamageType, I'm all for making LS's more and more powerful as the qual and generations increase. The only problem with that is the rarity of pearls and crystals. :/

How about each crystal color be a different damage type with medium piercing? (I brought this up in another thread as a joke of sorts, but people liked it there...)

Red - Energy
Orange - Heat
Brown - Kinetic
Yellow - Restraint
Green - Acid
Blue - Cold
Purple - Stun

I don't think so Dynastar... I've read about 95% of all the EU books out there (excluding the Ne Jedi Order.. those got real old, real quick) and it is definatly implied that there are many FS people out there. All over the galaxy. And just about every race.

Don't take my word for it, read some yourself Most books are pretty good (although there are some stinkers out there...)

The most important part of it is to Have fun!

I don't mind the debate about Jedi wanting to change their damage type...just don't bring continuity into it, you're shooting yoruself in the foot. In case you forgot, there are only two jedi in the entire galaxy, with the time period. If you want to go by continuity, you won't be a Jedi at all.

Read my above post... but more on that, as we find out in RotJ, there is really only ONE Jedi, and that is Yoda. Luke isn't a Jedi until he faces Vader for the last time.

But I digress... there are MANY FS people running around the thousands of worlds in the EU, (including a mad Jedi Master Clone ) so who's to say that there there aren't a few dozen FS on each of the planet?

one question if they did change the damage type of the lightsaber... WHY would they have the change the resistances of ANYTHING in the game I mean that's the whole point right? Nothing should have resistances to lightsabers. A lightsaber will go through anything, any 6 year old knows that. In fact I just asked my 6 year old brother lol if there's anythinga lightsaber can't cut through he said no. I know there are a few things that it can't cut through but I think that would be cool for later on.. some kind of quest to find the one amphistaf lol or mandalorian armor. As of now though 80 percent to lightsabers eheh that's funny.

Uh huh, that's kind of a contradiction. Its done for balancing reasons as one hit kills are not fun.

Well, someone above just mentioned Lok, so I'll leave that out -- Dathomir and the Nightsisters are entirely from the EU.

Oh, and for the record, it's "you're an idiot."

I think light Saber's should do a speical kind of damage.

Then make it where R.I.S is the only armor thatt defend's agaist it that would make jedi's more deadly and would also make the RIS armor of a real vaule to BH's

Your thoughts?

100% agree.

whoever designed the jedi skill trees, and the weapons and damage type, plus specials and damage types totally butchered it.

We dont even have defenses close to that of any other melee proffession, what is that?

anyone else have any thoughts on this?
