U re online and i m too .....why is it so hard to prove me that the dark side is SO powerful

What challenge? I did not see any mention of server names, IPs, or times.

I would enjoy an opportunity to fight someone who thinks they have skills. Maybe I'll learn something. Maybe you learn something too.

I am available to play most nights between 6:00pm - 12:00am PST.

PST is Pacific Standard Time. I am on the West Coast of the U.S., if you are indeed in the U.K., I believe the connection quality may be very poor. Nonetheless, I will try to find you at the time you specified.

Was at time on server said .....waited during half an hour ( thx man ....i waked up early for nothing ) and had to duel some guy using no force ( yawwwwnn ...anyway i won )
So i win by forfeit ...Light side is indeed stronger

( note to self ...never challenge braggers on forums

)

IF you enjoy playing as a dark side player, play it. As for balance, the lightside has been more powerrful than the darkside from day one. It's nothing new in version 1.03. I exclusively play darkside and even though the lightsiders have the advntage I still enjoy playing.

*Vagabond* · 05-31-2002, 07:16 PM

In my opinion, the Darksider has the advantage. In a one-on-one duel, all a Darksider has to do is to wait for the buzz of Absorb to go away, and then suck out the Lightsider's remaining force power, and then zap them with lightning until they're dead. Is it lame? Could be. But it also works, which can be interpreted as powerful. And yes, the Lightsider can go invisible, but so what? If they do that, I just run around until they appear again, and then I Drain/Lightning them. It's not that hard, and it's quite effective.

Is there something I'm overlooking???

Dark Begger · 05-31-2002, 07:20 PM

Vagabond, that would be a very good tactic..but no light sider in their right mind turns it on and LEAVES it on..I turn it on when I attack, and when he backs off or I do I turn it off..

Or i turn it on..when he attacks me with force power..then when eh stops I turn it off...This way it doesn't suck up my force power...

Sorry guys, I did try to play but the server that gives you the list was down and the online play component would hang. I ended up playing a couple of bots and then went to bed.

I'll look for you.

Nathan Wind · 05-31-2002, 10:43 PM

god, you just a bunch of yo-yo's. shut up ya yo-yo's

*Vagabond* · 06-01-2002, 12:55 AM

Well, Dark Begger, you must get zapped with a lot of lightning then - or at least you should. As soon as I'd hear your Absorb go off, I'd just drain you, and then zap you. You do realize that Absorb makes this huge obnoxious noise, right? You can hear it a mile away.

Whatever, though. If you're good at being a Lightsider, that's great.

*SPY_jmr1* · 06-01-2002, 01:06 AM

hey vagabond, I used to play dark prepatch, but have, heh, seen the light, since then and would be willing to give it a shot sometime, vs a 1.03 darky.

this is open to anyone who would want to try and see light vs.
dark.

maybe i will have to give 1.03 dark side a try again

graigsmith · 06-01-2002, 02:30 AM

lightning doesn't slaughter me when i was playing dark side.. just turn on dark rage and you WONT die. equip a weapon.. #6 is my personal favorite.. and just hold down the first mouse button

you shoot so fast the person doing lightning usually only has about 3 seconds to live. the only problem is after it wears off you better equip the saber and be defensive..

dark rage has lots of other uses too.

escaping bacstabs .. turn it on if you get knocked down.. and then equip a weapon. and blast someone.

or saber them

dark is kinda weak only in the defense department in my opinion.

Nathan Wind · 06-01-2002, 02:51 AM

you have no credibility when you refer to the weapon as "#6"

ironically, you using drain, you will be completely out of force much much faster than the person that is being drained
