2 New SWGO Servers

[CommanderOtto]

why is everyone talking about this? are you guys really going to mod the server? if not, why bother talking about it lol?

[Doves]

Hey, it's your time to waste. It would just be silly of SWGO to waste resources on it. Lessening server quality for a mod that is truly unnecessary is the very definition of stupidity.

What resources?

I think mandalore just means that it would be ridiculous to put a mod on a 40 slot server with a game that is already laggy to begin with.

This will hopefully make people think about how to kill a droideka rather than simply taking cover, waiting for cooldown on repeaters, then throwing a detpack or rocket at it's face.

Just a little bit of power nerd humor about droidekas

“Terrific,” Luke said, starting to sound a little frustrated. “we can’t use blasters, and we can use lightsabers. So how did the Jedi of that era deal with them?”

Mara Felt her lips tighten. “Mostly they ran away”.

I loved that book.

And well, every book of his I've read so far.

[Mandalore]

Yes, that's what I was getting at Doves. And again, the Droideka is actually already a strong situational class. The ability for it to mow down people is already present, but the pure fact of the er is that there *is* no team work on public servers worth speaking of. This isn't Battlefield, alright? It's battlefront. Plus, the thing that hasn't been added to this discussion is that doing this would increase the disparity between the two teams in clone wars. Magna is already the most powerful class in the era by a long shot.

[Doves]

Droideka is a million times better with tk on. 99% of the times droidekas die is due to det rushing and mine rushing. If you want to make droidekas a better class, make it so that people can do no team damage, but they can hurt themselves.

I agree with what Doves said.

But a few suggestions of my own regarding unit classes (Good Lord, I sound like a tyrant):

1) Make SPDs, Clone Troopers, Troopers, etc. do more damage (their blasters)
2) Take health from heavies; add 2 more grenades to their armory
3) Snipers are good ^_^
4) Take health from engies
5) Make the Rocket Launcher on the Magna shoot more quickly
6) Improve the Droidekas (Shields, change from rolled to standing, and blasting speed)
7) Make Bothans cloak completely; add more stamina
8) Wookies a' gooood
9) Make the Imperial Officer's guns do more damage and fire more quickly; improve their mobility
10) Give the Dark Troopers more health
11) Give the Clone Commander more Recons and slower deterioration speed when shooting the Chainguns
12) Eh, Jet Troopers are good

Some of this stuff may not be possible, may be , or may just be bad ideas. Just my thoughts after starting to play Conquest recently.

1. No. Giving them better weapons makes people want to actually use them, and we've already got more than enough games where rapid-fire weapons dominate.
4. Actually, I think you could balance engies by replacing detpacks with grenades.
5. Good god no. Jet trooper vs magna is already unbalanced enough as is.
6. Have you ever seen what 2 droidekas camping a hall on deathstar looks like? Droidekas are underpowered because server setting TK=off prevents self-damage.
7. Bothans are already annoying enough on dark maps.
9. Agreed.
10. No, their triple-shock trick is balanced by low health. If anything, give jet troopers better health, more rockets, and more jet fuel.

This is the door. Kindly use it to show yourself out.

Riflemen classes are nearly worthless in JBA right now. Forget dominate, it's about balance.

re: prone, nope, can't be done. It can almost be done, like, one could make it so a unit looks like he or she is in the prone position, but it would have to replace crouch and it would use the crouch player collision no er what unless some heavy executable modding takes place.
