Re: FFA is dead.
 

The so-called saber down rule is especially annoying when you're fighting someone and they suddenly deactivate their saber and try to run away, and then whine about laming when you proceed to shoot them in the back.

Used to play on the Couriscant Temple as well, and the Meatgrinder... but they're both down...

Re: FFA is dead.
 

Meatgringer's not down i was on it today you probubly didn't know that it switched to OJP and is running OJP basic right now

Re: FFA is dead.
 

Cool. I never saw it on the server list for the last couple weeks. I used to go there a lot when it was on basic. Thanks for letting me know.

Re: FFA is dead.
 

i have OJP, how come when i go online there are no servers :(

Re: FFA is dead.
 

these days the majority of jka servers are either base or ja+

Re: FFA is dead.
 

were in a bit of a slomp right now but dont wory it will pick up meatgrinder just switched to basic for a while so its still there JRhockery runs his test server every now and then so theres one for enhanced, and im not really sure what happoned to the templa server i think it was haveing some issues with an unstable beta we were testing so it will brobubl switch back to v.R

Re: FFA is dead.
 

I would love to see Coursant Temple back, it actually had steady activity.
I am currently playing ctf to make up for the lack of good ffa and even there have been called a lamer on occasions.

Re: FFA is dead.
 

Back on-topic, I kind of agree. I mean, I've been a basejka player for a few years now, and I support full FFA for sure. However, I do use JA+ in my server simply because it is the mod people use most.
I do prefer basejka by very far, but with some tweaking, my server is acting just like basejka while being JA+. No retarded saber blocks or what-not, just plain FFA all day. Of course, there are always people chatting around.
And to be honest, that's fine. You get bored after awhile if there isn't any conversation going in the server.
Ranting is fun, especially when there's a FFA. But in my book, if you're in a FFA, you can chat all you want, but just don't cry if you get fragged. Friggin' respawn.

I still don't see why this "laming" thing was instated anyways.
If you die, respawn. It takes 3 seconds to jump back to where you were.
I mean, for the love of God, it is ridiculous.
Ridiculous, but also understandable.

Usually, thsi is what you get in the average clan server; there are clan members in the server chilling, talking about whatever. Then suddenly some dude comes in and starts FFAing while everyone's around, not doing anything but chatting. It's fine, in my opinion. But the only problem is that that is what there is in almost all JKA servers (excluding the basejka community).

I guess it's something we msut cope with. All games evolve and JKA has indeed evolved, sadly into something less fun, but more social (as seen in the numerous servers housing conversations of all sorts). I guess it's fine once you get used to it.

But pertaining to the actual JA+ SUCKS thing, I disagree. Sure, Basejka is far better than JA+ but to be completely honest, it's not that bad. As I said above, with some sensed tweaking, JA+ servers are fine.
The only thing I dislike about JA+ servers are the MP settings one. Jesus Christ, I can't take those. THOSE ARE RETARDED. But the SP ones are fine imo.

=P

Re: FFA is dead.
 

If you sincerely believe JA+ can ever be anything like base, you're sadly mistaken. The actual damage mechanics were changed, so hey, tweak the numbers in the server.cfg file as much as you want - your server is still not worth playing on for any self-respecting gamer due to the fact it has no skill requirement and combat on it is little less than spamming glitch moves. (Note the underlined keyword.)

JA+ does more damage to an already crap game. If more people would stick to mods which maintain the baseJKA game mechanics (albeit with the bugs fixed) - by this, I specifically refer to JAE and the latest version of ClanMod (JA Reloaded was buggy) - then this game may actually be worth playing on the grounds that it might actually be more interesting than an Action Man game which involves little more than mouse clicks. As it is now - a JA- infested pile of sewage - you'd probably have more fun on Action Man than you would have racing to use a glitched out exploit faster than your opponent.

Still, nothing's funnier than a JA+ player who claims to be "skilled". That's the epitome of idiocy - after all, it's impossible to be skilled in battle when the battle is determined completely at random.

Oh, and FYI, I also think you're making a stupid move by using JA+ just because everyone else does. "Monkey see, monkey do" is a bad philosophy to use at any time, and especially if whatever monkey sees is a foolish idea.

Who's the greater fool - the fool, or the one who follows the fool?

Be the one to stand out, be unique, do your own thing. You'll probably attract attention from the kind of server population you actually want - i.e. decent, sensible players instead of the whiny COPPA-violating glitch kiddies - that way.

[quote=OS |Penumbra-Omen| SCM;3437596]I want to know something.
Why did most of every1 that plays 1.01 mess up 1.01?
Why is it only dueling in FFA servers?
and not Free for All.
meaning; all out war, every man for himself, kill anything in sight.

why cant anyone find any FFA servers with no "no laming" rule?.

look everyone.
FFA is Free For All.
not dueling.
DUELING SERVERS ARE THERE FOR DUELING
FFA IS SUPPOSE TO BE THERE FOR ALL OUT KILLING.
NOT PUSSIES THAT THINK THAT LAMING IS A RULE AND ENFORCE IT.
and kick ppl for actually doing what FFA is meant for.

Noobs, even though there noobs actually know better then alot of you ppl.
They actually know what FFA is.
And Play FFA the way its meant to be played.

Look. If you want to talk for a long period of time.
go into Spectator Mode.

Its Ashame.
the only place that actually plays FFA the right way (Saber Only FFA or All Weapon FFA) is all the clans in 1.00
and there is barely 50 servers in there.

And also.
That stupid JA+
It ruined FFA to no end.
It pretty much destroyed Jedi Academy.
Destroyed the purpose of playing FFA.
Nubish Slider was not thinking straight when he made that stupid mod..
He made JA+ added things to JA that is not needed.
Messed up Force Powers. and created Force Whores that use Force Grip and only force grip and force pull.
Then He messed up Saber Only. And created The People that think that FFA means Dueling.

=]
Now. Im sorry for my madness.
But I think this should be shown into the light if it hasnt already.

And I do think this will make a good conversation. So please.
Start Replying ^_^








Hey uh if you don't like the rules how about you make your own server instead and stop :curse: about it and support your own damn cause.
