Droideka and doors do not mix--at all

[ConvertEvilJedi]

i dont know if this has already been addressed but i came accross this problem today playin...a droideka went up to the locks on the main door in tantivel, shot out the locks but when he/she attempted to go through and win the level...he/she (gah i hate this politically correct stuff) couldnt go through to win the level. it ended by a jedi coming up behind it (thats a solution) and killing it...needless to say we lost the level when we really should have won :eek: :eek: i dont care bout the "i lost" aspect just that this bug *should* be fixed if it isnt done on purpose for some reason :confused: :confused:

c ya on the servers

-evil

[Aezeroth]

Yep, it has, and it has also been fixed for the next build.

[Alesh]

And they can roll throught the door, but not walk.

[Vitjor Melkalis]

another class that is very good against deka is the clonetrooper, thanks to the rapid fire of the cloneriffle. jedis dont mix with dekas because there is small bug that consists when u touch the droideka shield u get an isntant death. the only way to avoi this bug is to jump over the dekas head and stab him.

[Demidevil]

u cant say jedi r useless against dekas, on the server most of the dekas have been sabered except 4 the experianced ones who dont die very often

[Valserp]

What mostly bugs ME about the Dekas is how they can climb on your head by just walking towards you... This is really annoying/unrealistic...

[Vitjor Melkalis]

jedis are not completely useless against deka but if u get a little closer u get instant death if u touch their shield.

about jumping to dekas head, thats not so unrealistic at all. actually i think its a quite realistic tactic.

[Keshire]

the bloke would have his spine crushed by the droid doing that. (New move?

It originally did do that. But then people's main mode of attack was ramming. So we had to tone it down.

[Keshire]

I never saw it ram anything

You weren't around when that was a valid tactic. Its been takin care of since then.

[Keshire]

As soon as it hit you. Instant death, without stopping it. So you could use it to go bowling for stormies.

[Vitjor Melkalis]

Yeah, a realictic droid using it's three legs to sit (stand?) on someone's head... no it isn't realistic, the bloke would have his spine crushed by the droid doing that. (New move? :D )
OK if you want your deka to get through the door, simply aim up as high as you can. simple but you might have to inform people who don't know this :(

err, i wasnt talking about dekas jumping to other people's heads. i was talking about jedis who jump to the dekas head so they can kill them (the dekas)safely.

[Vitjor Melkalis]

really? ive seen a lot of experienced jedis owning dekas using that ''jump-to-head'' tactic. i prefer to get behind them and bakstab them. but jumping to the dekas head works. ive seen it a lot of times.

[Vitjor Melkalis]

i dont think u can shot them while they are in your head. ive never seen deka killing a jedi while he is standing in his head

[deegs]

ya i'm pretty sure a deka cant aim straight up? although i'm no expert, but i guess an experienced jedi would not wish to stand 2 metres above every1 else so every single villian can shoot him! i dont think i've ever been killed by a deka whilst on his head

[ACiDuS]

If you aim upwards and spin around you can catch a jedi.

The jedi can defend himself by simply looking towards as he blocks though, and all your shots instantly return killing the deka quickly.

[Vitjor Melkalis]

still, the deka firepower should be limitated. these guys could fire infinite shots! the best solution is a small recharge time for dekas ammo (infinite ammo but with recharge like the blaster cannon of a tie fighter in base jka)

[Vitjor Melkalis]

dekas dont have a recharge time. they can shoot contineously without recharging. in the jabba map dekas always try to blocade the jabba's escape tunnel and they start shooting to blocade the tunnel. when im on imperial i play deka sometimes (rarely) and they dont have recharge time at all even in lvl1 of firepower.

lol ive crossed many skilled dekas on my way. and trust me, ive seen and fought some really good deka players. not the kind of player who starts shooting like a madman without aiming. and i difficultly beat those l337 deka users with jedi. to own deka i prefer clonetrooper.

[zag]

wookies own those dekas ;)

[Vitjor Melkalis]

dekas know they should let the wookies win... :p

[Chroniktoke]

i realized that.....yes dekas are pointless unless you trick the gunners with a good spot.....clones and wookies UNITE!

[Alesh]

wookies own those dekas ;)Unless they go downstairs i guess :P

I think to see the deka recharge you need level 3 firepower, otherwise you don't spend ammo fast enough.

[Demidevil]

thats y u have support with dekas so jedi cant use that tactic

[Vitjor Melkalis]

Yeah! Rusty is bad to the bone! wookies and clones, watch out because the deka master is coming trough!

rusty, i rarely see wookies getting defeated by dekas. and for your information it doesnt matter if u are in the right spot with your little deka or not. wookie players also know to hide behind walls and plan a counterattack :p.

[=tom=]

ehm what about 2-3 heros with dodge lvl 3 ?

[=Profcorron=]

deka's when surrounded are easy targets,

anti deka tacs, (for dekas in the main hall on jabba or a tantive hall) get a hero, dodge and heal, (or soldier w/ rienforcements, or a jedi with blue or duel saber defending- the jedi will often get shot in the back so...) the hero doesn't shoot and draws the deka's fire, dodging and healing becuase he's not fireing hell loose very little health, then the others, (gunners) use thier guns (not dets or sabers) to shoot the dekas,

This tac can be modified so the hero runs and kill jabba,

Got 5 games doing that :D.

anti deka weapons,

Bowcaster, (good for shield, alright v armor)
Clone Rifel, (average for shield and armor)
e-11, (poor for shield good for armor).

Det, (shield makes this useless, good for a non-shielded deka, 1 quick det kills a moving deka in 1)

Sniper, (not tried enough, not a good rate of fire i expect so i wouldn't help the anti-deka.

[Demidevil]

my deka is invincible!!!!! :D

[Saber]

Demi i have never seen you play as a deka. I agree with whoever said that the shield should be smaller (think it was rusty) it is rather annoying when ur getting shot but iu cant shoot them back. Dekas in my opion are esy to kill with any class but then again i have never met a l337 deka user.

[Alesh]

All classes (or rather, models) can be shot without being able to shoot back, dekas just have the problem of not being able to strafe.

[Chroniktoke]

get three dekas with one on top of the two blocking the main corridor to jabbas exit....(the one where there is another entrance through the rancor pit)

LOL!if any1 comes pit way you got usually a sith and/or a mando waiting to plugg them up or saber them in half ;) dekas are great ...pending on points and take a little bit of skill...if you ask me they are pretty easy to kill with a jedi and a clone ;)

[Vitjor Melkalis]

lol, u dont understand a bit of tactics. if a mando and a deka are trying to kill the same jedi, soon the deka will shoot the mando accidentally. but i can easily own mandos (and im not the only one) with my cute little hot and sharp lightsaber.

if youre tactic really works, i cant understand why we cant see the imperials always winning the matches :p.

[=Profcorron=]

Tacs Again

Deka Shoot ONLY in front and uses shield for mando cover,
Mando flames when things come close, and snipes difficult shots for the deka, eg. wookie on opposite stairs.

Hero, Make yourself obvous the reson you odn't shoot is so that your heal and dodge work better but you Can shoot but normally by the time a deka .desides to attack the people at the top deka dead. And if they ignor hero then the hero can fire from the back ;).
