View Full Version : B17-What the players percieve to be in the future.
I've made this topic because I believe that many players here at Movie Battles have very conflicting views on what will and will not be included in B17.
This is not in any way a request for the developers to tell us what is going to be released, but a way for the users here to discuss what they would enjoy seeing, what they believe they will see, and debates on what should be in the 17th build for the Movie Battles modification to Jedi Academy.
I've read that many players are looking forward to new classes supposedly available in the new build, such as the small-ish flying probe thing-a-ma-bobs.
Discuss and enjoy!

this probably isnt such a good idea, it might get our hopes up too much for the next build and will ruin it for us when it does come out, or the developers might feel presured to modify the mod to what we disscuse here which will the possibly delay the release date of the new build EVEN MORE and im very impatient...
I realized the implications of posting this thread very early on, but meh, I'm fidgity about knowing too.
The moderators *could* use some of the information seen here that they are not adding in B17 for B18. Coughhintcough. :p

I can't speak for the community at large, and I'm certain that we all have differing priorities, but all I want from B17 are balance tweaks or bug fixes for existing code. Saber on saber combat should eventually end up being fixed, and so on and so forth, but I'm majorly concerned with some of the trends that have been developing within B16.
Typical scenario:
At some point a sith uses lightning or grip indiscriminately. He ****s some gunners, who feel picked on and end up going jedi or wook to avoid it. Meanwhile his teammates are not killing as efficiently as he is, and a few of them decide to go sith, too, because he seems to be doing so well. The jedi/sith situation spirals out of control, and you end up with, for some reason, a 10 jedi on 10 sith showdown on Lunarbase that lasts for a decade.
Another typical scenario:
Five skilled players on the server, out of a total 9 players. Three of the skilled end up on one team, two on the other, and the three end up winning nine times out of ten, with a few random interventions on the part of chance. The newbies complain about teams, a skilled person switches, the teams remain unbalanced, and there is more complaining. Vox leaves the server because people are being whiny.
I have implicit faith in the MB team, specifically in that they will be able to do something about situation one.
And I hope against hope that they'll be able to pull a magic bunny/coding miracle out of their collective arse and fix human stupidity in the process of releasing B17.
~Vox ;)
fix human stupidity
We're not gods. And watch it with the hype. These things can quickly spiral out of control.

A few others could learn a thing or two about how to create threads from your first one i'd say :P
And please, speculate, then we (the people in the closed beta) can gamble and see what you get right :p

'I have a dream' :p
I don't think it's a good idea. People may hope too much and then, when b17 comes out, they'll be like 'you ****, why didnt you put this in, but this' etc.

at the end of the day the devs are making the mod not the public they can "suggest" what they would like to see, but not "demand"
Off topic: My avatar was a bit longer and a bit more fluid, but I had to tone it down a bit for the avatar restrictions. I spent a long time on that one Davik! Petty thief. :p
I do indeed hope saber battles are frixed as well, a saber lock or deka-death by-saber has a regular chance to crash a server. Hit boxes are also a thing of concern with me, and I do hope that these will be modified accordingly.
And WhiteShark, anything the development team does not add in B17 that perhaps they like here, they might add into B18.
Bleh, just a pipe dream, but no pressure on you developers. :p

To see the back of my eyelids :p
No my dream is to have b17 out saber duels fixed and to have a duel server
I perceive penguins will overtake Hoth and Rhen Var in the next few years.
No. The penguins don't recruit people.
now I understand why chairwalker went senile after posting so much :p

Chairwalker is *not* senile! He merely hides his wise sayings in cryptic spam so that it is not wasted on the weakminded.

I just hope they have fixed all bugs. That's all I need ;).

You get that with deka too. I goaround as deka, being generally sucessful, and hey hey, players who have no idea how to control (or for that matter, listen to their teammates) turn to deka and get owned within seconds, as they attempt to stand in the way of: A) A jedi B) A massive clone squad C) Get tked due to the lack of aim.
There will not be a fix for that, until people realise they have to take a class which suits them and their style best. Mass Spam is not the answer.
Rusty is 100% correct. Some classes are better than others when spammed though, and we will try to address that.

Hit boxes are also a thing of concern with me, and I do hope that these will be modified accordingly.
I beleive the hitboxes are hard-coded into the game so i don't think they are possible to edit

I Have a feeling,they will just include a few changes to models/class's. Nothinf mayjor....And add a few map's.

Make no mistake, we have a lot of new stuff to show in B17 and I for one am quite proud of where we are with it, but I suspect some of you, after a 6-month wait, have massively built up expectiations...
Bear in mind that a few of us had a break after B16, cos we were a bit burnt out etc. So it's not literally 6-full months of work. So please, don't expect the moon on a stick ;)
...but we do have a decent amount of new stuff for you guys, I can assure you of that...

Pfft. Actually we've only fixed the wrong description for Advanced Logic in the SBD point allocation screen. Other than that, we've been sitting on our asses doing nothing for 6 months. The increasing build numbers on the beta server were just deception.

making maps is nothin' what takes too long...
just a few brushes here and there and a map is ready...
:mad:
Making a map is a lot of work. I can assure you that. Siege maps have to have scripts too.

Tsk. Tsk Cerb, we don't want to increase the anticipation now do we ? ;)
If u keep insinuating that we actually did to do something, then they'll start to think.
Think....thinking leads to hope, hope leads to excitement, excitement leads to anticipation. Anticipation leads to more excitement, more excitements lead to more threads. More threads lead to B16 replay...............the horror.......and U STARTED IT, CERB!!

Nah, I was just being honest.
The SBD description fix is revolutionary! ...they can't really expect much more after all the time that fix took us to do.

ok well lets wait till B17 is out and then you can compare the maps that took months of work with some community maps that get rushed out (im naming no names here :) )
i might also be a good idea to remind yourself that the maps that have been in since B12 still arent perfect...in B16
