Acesome Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Force throw should allow us to pick up another enemy target and hurl them into the original target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyriaFrost Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Chalk me up as another person who actually likes the Project / TK Throw animations. The only thing that I'd do to improve them would be to make them "environment specific". If you're on a spaceship/cityworld/etc, they would pick up and hurl random bits of tech (droid parts, deck plating, etc). If you're on rock/earth, you'd lift up and throw rocks/boulders. If you're on sand, you'd sandblast them. Etc. Champions Online had something kind of similar, with their "earth flight" power. It would rip up a chunk of what was under you, and use that as your travel mode. If you were on ice, you'd have a chunk of frozen ground. On a street, you'd have a chunk of concrete. Etc.

elvigy Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Call me crazy, but I prefer the gravel and random debris. Ditto. I leveled my Sage to 50 and at the time thought TK Throw was a little underwhelming but was basically OK with it. Now I'm leveling a Sith Inquisitor and here's my rotation- Lightning-Lightning-More Lightning-Some Other Kind of Lightning-Back to the First Kind of Lightning. Rinse. Repeat. I now really appreciate the differences between Distrubance, TK Throw and Project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halinalle Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Plain and simple i think bioware did some favoring for the sith, Do you guys think developers ideas like this are causing FACTION IMBALACNCE??????????????????????????????? what you think?? This isn't reason for faction imbalance. Most people just like to play as evil character. Only time when I actually prefer shock/force lightning is when I'm at receiving end. That's just because project looks way more painful when you actually get hit by it. Also Disturbance looks better than any of these.

Warlyx Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 the question here is WHY WHY! , jedis throw things to the their enemys?

gibmachine Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 And then they rip huge *********** boulder out of the ground and smash it against your face while sorcs do... what exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atkammoh Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I dont think throwing rocks versus lightning is the problem. Its the animation coolness factor. If Consulars did the two hands in front while throwing rocks with a bit more zip to them, that would look way cooler than the put your hand to your face one they do now.

ikinai Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 A sorcerer and a sage walk into a cantina. The sorcerer bellows out into the cantina, "I command the elements!

DarkwingGT Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It is sort of odd that a Dark V Consular would still use rocks / objects and a Light V Inquisitor would use Lightning. I mean, what exactly does Dark / Light mean then? Is it implied that Light V Sith is still more evil than Dark V Jedi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're a Jedi, still with the order and the republic and you're going to advertise that you're rocking dark side powers. You let me know how that works out for ya.

Philosomanic Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I don't want Jedi lightning, that would be lame. I'm a jedi, I want to be a good guy. But it could be something more like a Sage's Disturbance. All of my moves as a shadow look really cool, except project (and telekinetic throw, but I never use that). If all jedi force powers were more air-ish (like in the Republic opening cinematic), I'd be much happier. Sticking with my shadow either way, though Throwing = Throwing = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimusValkor Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I dont think r2d2 counts as being a force user.

RocNessMonster Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Um, Darksiders use lightning because it is an ability granted by the Dark Side of the force. Ever since Emp P. in 1983. There is lore supporting Light side Jedis using emerald lightning. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Electric_Judgment Edited February 3, 2012 by RocNessMonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthKhaos Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) There is lore supporting Light side Jedis using emerald lightning. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Electric_Judgment Dude that link contradicts your point that Jedi should use lightening. It showed up as yellow or green energy instead of blue or white, but otherwise it was very similar in both appearance and usage to the Force power known as Force lightning. This power was uncommon and controversial among the Jedi because of its intrinsic association with anger and aggression.

Tenacity Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) There is lore supporting Light side Jedis using emerald lightning. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Electric_Judgment Which was only created by fanboys that wanted their cake and wanted to eat it too. My personal opinion on how these force abilities work: The Jedi access the force through selflessness. They eliminate the ego and become at one with the environment around them, and this allows them to manipulate that environment as if it were part of their own bodies - i.e. moving things by telekinesis. The Sith access the force through the ego, the self, they focus on their emotions and inner strength rather than serenity and oneness with the environment. Therefor, their force abilities emanate from their own bodies, rather than their surroundings - hence, force lightning arcing from their fingertips.

You let me know how that works out for ya. Probably pretty good considering you're getting those DS points by doing some fairly evil things. They'd have to be pretty dense to not figure you're evil when you start everyday with drowning a bag of puppies and kicking old folks down the stairs.

I run them over with a speeder. No tire marks so I get off scotch free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
