    1.4 Open Beta Dueling Feedback

    @Cat Lady, I can see how it would be a lot more difficult for newer players. I agree it's lowering the skill floor and ceiling but I don't agree that it's a zombie thing (from the hours I did in this sitting). Maybe the EU side is doing stuff differently (not trying to sound insulting or...

    1.4 Open Beta Dueling Feedback

    Fast styles dueling each other aren't supposed to be fast... Overall, definitely liking it a lot better. - Blocking actually matters and does more than just make the first swing less painful. - Yay for yellow having some kind of perk. - Please add saber twirl back :( - There is something kind...

    Nerf proj fp drainage

    In a lot of circumstances, shotgun is actually one of the ways to manage vs a blob of glowsticks. Easiest way to mess with someone doing it is to wallrun or just have sense on/wait for them to move. There's any number of variables that can make it easier or harder for either side but that sums...

    Cyan, Purple, Red Guide?

    You'd lose to him on NA Achilles. Stop while you still have some shred of dignity.

    Cyan, Purple, Red Guide?

    ^ I thought about pointing out all the huge flaws individually but I don't think that would make a difference. Anyway. There's not really one set way to use any of the styles. All depends on you and the circumstances (dueling would just be who you're against). It's very unlikely that you'll be...

    Special Attacks / Combo List

    I could probably rip a bunch of my old dueling guide out to save efforts in translating to English. Gotta get off mobile for that though lol. On the note of FP costs, I think all of the same type of attacks (katas, stabs, etc) will have the same cost (or very close if not).

    Open Beta Starting Sunday

    Hopefully there won't be any issues with the different version(s) between official servers and others :X.

    Cyan, Purple, Red Guide?

    If you avoid things because you're dying a lot then you aren't ever going to get any better. We've all been the 1/15 duelist at some point or another. Ask for tips instead of giving up.

    MBII and PVE?

    I've actually taken some small pokes at the AI stuff (fun reading on a few topics that sprouted from that last night @_@). Definitely not an amazing coder developing person but I'm pretty good at figuring schtuff out. I was curious about the differences between the OpenJK-tweaked source and...

    Next patch hype thread!

    Counters with yellow work vs spammy cyan, yes. However, cyan not being spammed beats yellow. Tried different stuff with Kael right after you left tonight and that's how it worked out when I wasn't getting sidewhacked from the front every other round. I could go into more detail but it probably...

    MBII and PVE?

    Trust me, I get it. I'm pretty sure most of us that have been playing since ages past have gone through the dreams that you're having now. Unfortunately, the NPCs and such will still have the AI from base JKA. That pretty much negates the whole point of how MB2's sabering works, sadly. Other...

    MBII and PVE?

    If you're referring to a full PvE type of playing, then that would basically be making an entirely new game...It's possible to get bots to behave according to more MB2-oriented styles of play but it would be a very large undertaking. You'd essentially have to rewrite all the logic for every type...

    Special Attacks / Combo List

    Something to note about Duals' stabs is that they will cause knockback throughout the entire animation, not just the actual stabbing part of it.

    MBII and PVE?

    It's not impossible but it's a vast undertaking that isn't on the list of anyone's priorities.

    Opinions on dueling/duel mode

    My laptop from 2008 can play mb2 on full high settings with 200 FPS. IDK what kind of stuff you're using but it's definitely not the game being limited.

    Can somebody buff disarms, please?

    If they accidentally mblock, then that's a mechanical problem, not a design problem.

    Can somebody buff disarms, please?

    Why did mblock even lose its BP drains? I haven't figured out a legitimate reason for this yet.
