@@Ping, it's one of my habits when people are being stupid. Don't think it'll go away. @, so your "so many" is relative. Gotcha. Because in general it's not many at all. Anyway, what one considers fun may not be fun to another. It's more likely that one will consider some realism in a system as a pro than a con. I don't think I'm the only one can be put off with such a thing as launching a Star Wars game and be forced to run and jump around to avoid getting killed instead of emerging in a proper saber fight which makes you go "oh, well this makes a lot more sense. It works as I would expect it to had this been real". With that you get much more fun because you get to do more things than move, jump and LMB.

"So many people"?

So make an actually fun sabering system. I can't help but think that people with mindsets like that are the reason we don't have actually good mods for this game. MB2 is an example of a mod that is somewhat good and due to this it's gathered a community that has servers with more people than base or other mods, but mention it and your ideas are instantly shot down. It's a Star Wars game. MB2 sabering resembles Star Wars to a much higher extent than Base. Are we talking about non-Star Wars "total conversion"? I don't think so. If it's Star Wars make it Star Wars. If you give me a saber let me use it properly. Keep it fun, but keep the logic in check as well.

I don't see how Base sabering system is good compared to alternatives.

MB2 looks much more realistic from the outside and as far as I'm concerned its gameplay makes much more sense because you're actually dueling your opponent face to face with occasional jump/kata/etc. rather than jumping and flying around 24/7 until your swing connects. Base is essentially "jump around and hope to hit". Not because one doesn't how to play, but because it's about dodging the opponent's swing most of the time by running/jumping away, with occasional block/parry. That is not how shit works. Have you seen the movies? I guess you just like Base or dislike MB2 so much that it blinds you and you can't see how the latter makes so much more sense than the former. A new mod with the super unrealistic and nonsensical saber system that Base has is what I want the least. I had quit MB2 and tried to get back to Base, but that resulted in me getting back to MB2 even though I consider its current system to be much worse than what it was before (pre-V1.1). Base is just that bad.

It's the most essential thing. Without proper blocking mechanics, saber system cannot be realistic. In Base you pretty much just jump around hoping that you saber's blade hits the opponent, which is not how lightsaber combat or any sword combat works. Wow.

... Really? Maybe look up some videos on YouTube and compare them or something, I really can't be bothered to explain how MB2 (I haven't played OJP, but seen some videos) is so obviously much more realistic than base. And I don't necessarily mean realistic saber handling, but how it looks from the side.

Sandbox MP mode with proper sabering system (more realistic than baseJKA mess, perhaps OJK OJP or something like MB2); safe/social zones, ability to sit on chairs/lean to walls/prone; ability to put jedi cloak/hood on and off with animations; realistic inventory with holsters and visible items on you; clothing system (choosing clothes, hats, etc.); better looking saber blades (MB2); removed stupid glow effects on using Force Powers; vehicles with not-too-arcade-y handling; perhaps a deeper character creation system. Etc.

@@Psyk0Sith, but capes are awesome.

Yeah guys, back off. @@Psyk0Sith is busy fixing Darth Malgus' cloak/cape.

@@Psyk0Sith, are you done with this model? Everything about it looks amazing besides the cloak. Would it be possible to make it wider, or perhaps give him Vader's cape?

Okay, the following cvars "fix" this in JA (relevant for both SP and MP). Don't have JK2 installed so can't test. cg_thirdPersonCameraDamp 1 cg_thirdPersonTargetDamp 1Be sure to try this out if you haven't already. It makes movement and aiming so much better, as the character snaps to the center of the screen upon movement and is always focused on it (prevents crosshair from jumping around the screen and in SP prevents the character from moving from the center of your camera). Props to MB2 forum members.

At Luke slides on the ground while performing a move instead of running. The video is 1080p60 (this stupid forum font ruins numbers so bad) but the filmed footage seems of lower quality. For god's sake, force anti-aliasing via GPU control panel. Better and more-showing video overall than previous ones. Keep it up.

Low resolution 4:3 video? C'mon.

So with them out of the way...

The article title still says it's a trailer.

Quality > Quantity

So it this a teaser or a trailer? For a trailer it doesn't really show anything. EDIT: The video says it's a teaser so I guess it's a teaser, the JKHub article's title is misleading.

You're seriously implying that it's easier to create a crossguard saber than a normal one? Sure, the saber does seem like it's made by an amateur, but crossblades being a result of that? No way.

Good. Now with ancient saber theories out of the way, people can get back to reality. Crossguard saber is stupid and there's no proper reasoning for that.

I never said them making it look cool and innovative to children was a success.

But that's kind of the opposite of vampire... lol

To appear innovative and cool to children.

That seems like a legit excuse.

Punctuation. Use it. Didn't read.
