Yes, and Slider also screwed up the entire combat system at the same time, removing every single skill element from the game.

People say JA+ gives you more control over your server's settings, but that's just utter bollocks. All of the new server settings added by JA+ are useless, and the useful ones aren't JA+ features at all - they're baseJKA commands.

The few good things JA+ has, can easily be found in other mods such as JAE or ClanMod, and those mods don't cock up the game mechanics beyond all repair.

JA+ is nothing more than a nerfbat, and if it's on any server, it's a damn good sign that the server is run by whiny little brats who want to "own" people without needing any skill. JA+ is, essentially, a big sign saying "Avoid At All Costs!".

Sadly, the idiotic "I want to be good at the game without having to develop any skills!" mentality is prevalent in this community, and that's the number one reason why very few JKA players can be considered gamers - and also why most gamers leave this community, placing the balance well and truly in favour of immature 'tards who just want a big score to increase the size of their 'e-penis'.

I'm sure you've noticed that other games have stronger, friendlier communities where there's more of an emphasis on playing the game, having fun, and developing personal skills rather than winning, right?

Yeah. That's because those games have a balanced combat system which rewards skill and leaves exploiting players down in the dust. The one thing Jedi Academy is lacking, because of the majority's choice of mod. Everyone chose the nerfbat instead of mods which keep the combat system intact, and as a result, this game suffers - big time.

I more than agree with Kouen's post. JA+ did nothing but flaw JKA further than what it already was.

Yeah sure the community did evolve I can agree with you that much. It evolved to be a bunch of watered down fools who lack any remote idea of what FFA really should be. I can see if there was a balanced number of FFA 'duel' servers and FFA servers, but frankly there is not. Finding an actual FFA server is highly unlikely. These common servers ruin the fun for the actual FFAers.

Either way JA+ and this game's community is what overall destroys JKA for people such as myself, the topic creator and who ever else rather play this game than sit in a server talking, sabering or RPing. The community worship a mod that is flawed in many ways, but do they see this? Nope they rather have the ridiculous emotes, the tools of the newb (grapple, jet pack) and other useless things JA+ has to offer.

As for the laming rule, this is all I have to say about that rule, this game is a shooter, it is meant to be played out as one. A "Honor" code does nothing but limit this game even further.

Like I said, if there was actual balance in servers, or atleast a few other FFA servers being easy to find, this wouldn't be a problem. Instead you have roughly 95% of the 'FFA' servers around being sabers only duel FFA. Overall the game started out botched and remains to be that way.

What we do need are these supposed 1.00 FFAers going to 1.01 to expand this game to more of a FFA.

Just forget FFA because it is dead. Go to a different mod where people don't talk all day. For example, MovieBattles 2. No one, and I mean NO ONE justs sits and talks. Cool new guns and levels. But meh, that's my opinion.

I tried MovieBattles, but couldn't exactly get into it. Could be because my computer doesn't allow me to play it at a good enough frame rate

That would be a good idea if people actually had weapons enabled. So for those who want full force full weapons we can't because the vast majority disable them altogether.

To be honest, few JA+ server support FFA, or TFFA's for that matter. I'm a basejka server and most good basejka servers are usually running TFFA modes or FFA's in which you simply frag, and frag.

I am probably one of the few who like the JA+ mod in ffa when it is not abused, the last ffa guns enable server I enjoyed just went down {courisant Temple Server}. I now play on slider's ctf server since he seems to be about the only one who has a ctf with guns. I have one ffa weapons server left in my favorites,{|ufa| clan's}. Three years ago I had over a couple dozen and many had 30 minute wait times to get on the server. The base JA is ok I mainly like the JA+ for grappling on ffa5 with a sniper rifle, and I do use the flip kick if I run out of ammo, but with default regen and slow grapple speeds these can't be overly abused.

If anyone knows of a good server company that does not require paypal please pm me I may try to get another good ctf or ffa running.

Haha FFA5 is great. It's too easy with the grapple though.
