NO SABRE YET!!!! and I'm getting pissed. I'm stuck on the prisoner rescue level. I've killed all the asts's and the ship has landed to pick up the prisoners and I saw my ship fly by they chick said she was goin to land in that "small canyon" but she doesn't land. Do I have to go find her? or does she land near where the prisoners are?

oh and did i mention the game keeps getting more and more difficult...
its stupid!! you end up saving a ton of times so u can sacrifice yourself at the next point so you can find the badguys... (and i playin at the 2nd easiest level)
The snipers shoot ya before you know they are there (around the corner from several hundred yards)
BS.. anyways you'll see them once you have visited the bar.
off to start the game again, on the easiest level..

Udie, did skurj's info help ya? he's right, you go back into the AT-ST hangar, and the door on the top on the far side is now open.
You have a nice little cut scene and you're done with that portion. :)
I'm on the level Skurj is talking about and he's right. Ya gotta be on your toes, them snipers are everywhere it seems. Tho you get the sniper rifle too. ;) It's a blast, almost as fun as the lightsaber. There's a guy walking in an enclosed glass bridge. You can shoot the glass out from under him and watch him fall. It's amusing! :D
-
The AI does still need some tweaking. The reaction times for the StormTroopers is way to quick.
-
Storm troopers are morons though - they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!
Use the force - a LOT.
You can walk into a mess of them, knock half of them on their asses, clean up the others, and then finish off the first half.
The lightsaber rules! Once you get to cloud city the game takes a serious turn for the better.
-
I just left cloud city. difficult game. The lightsaber fights with the reborn (fake jedi) are awesome. I walked into an area where I just knew it was designed for a force/saber duel. Soon as I stepped into the courtyard sabers were flying all over the place. Fun game.
-
I just defeated Fyyar in his huge suit type thingamabob machine... THAT was tough. Cod when you guys get Force Grip HAVE FUN!!! I cant get enough of that! And I agree SKurj, some parts are downright HARD! I dont know what the designers were thinking.. "how would any normal person know THIS is the way??" I cant tell you how many times I've hit F12 before moving a few feet :D. Bastard snipers in the Nar Shadaa (whatever the name is) pissed me off good. Good thing they wear white on that dark background.
I'm getting good with the saber. My favorite way of slicing up the 'evil' jedis is to choke them for a bit, then throw the saber at them and finish'em off. .... I'm gonna go play some more right now ;)
-
Why dont all of us Star Wars geeks set up a time to blast each other on a private server some time? I'd love to duel yas :P
-
Ok thanks for the help guys! This game pisses me off though. That stupid light saber level bout had the game taken off my HD and returned. What's the deal with all these stupid freakin puzzles? 1 or 2 per level are ok, but good God man that light saber level is ridiculus. One puzzle after another. That and the stupid storm troopers are my only real complaints though :)
-
Dude, you should warn people if you are going to drop a major spoiler like that in your post.
The lightsaber level is nothing but puzzles because the puzzles are designed to demonstrate your new force powers - which makes sense.
There ARE a couple annoying puzzles though - don't worry - they start to become less and less frequent.
SEMI-SPOILER
I have started to run into the next level of bad guy after the Reborn - and they are TOUGH.
We should set up a server this weekend - I'm pretty much free all day saturday.
-
I'm on the level with the guy in the gold suit but I died trying to get out. :(
I guess I could cheat a little but I hate to.
For those who don't know how hit the ~ then type in devmapall.
god = god
give all = all weapons and power
noclip = fly thru walls
notarget = enemy doesn't see you

Since I haven't got to that part in the game, I would like to thank you for completely ruining the surprise.
-
I edited that part out of my message.....
-
Oh well, I'll just pretend to be surprised at that part, hehe :)

If it makes you feel any better, it is early on, 8ball, so you don't have to wait very long to be dissappointed.

Mighty1 that took me a day or two to finally figure it out :D
:::SPOILER STRATEGY...DONT READ!!:::
Use a rocket launcher or something explosive to knock out his shield temporarily. Once that is out, use Force Speed (F3, because its easier to get behind him), switch to a projectile weapon (Ell 1 Blaster Rifle works) or even your saber and knock that little 'stem' off. That disables his shield all together. He gets nasty after that and uses a pinkish laser that your saber cannot block. Hide behind a pillar, get your health up, then wail on him in the chest region with the Imperial Repeater. Heh, rogue squadron starts whomping on the ship just about then.. its tough to get out.
:::ok, done :::
Kratzer, is there any certain regular server you use? Can anyone supply a private server? I'm free on Saturday as well. Any time from morning to about 5 pm.
-
got this game on wednesday and loving it!! :)
At first i thought it was a POS but the more i play it the more i like it. The best thing about the game is duelling with the sith/jedi people. The first time i met one i almost crapped my pants!!! It was pure fluke how i killed him, i just did a flip over him and stabbed my lightsaber into his head as i went over. It was sooo cool.:D
I've just defeated that fyar guy or whatever he's called- it took me about 5 attempts. The first time i just ran up to him and tried to slice him up with my saber- i didn't last long heheh:D
Octavious you're right about the force grip, it's great.:) I can't get enough of picking people up and throwing them against walls and stuff.
-
Just finished the game. The verdict? It is one of the most fun action games I've ever played - absolutely loved it!
-
I agree :D ... But I kind of had a cheap shot to finish it. Left me thinking "what? wait that cant be it" as the credits rolled :)
Aside that, I have a question about the display settings. Sky, space, and background textures dont seem to display. They appear a sort of white-ish color. I know this because on the Caim installation, I looked outside and saw TIE Fighters and X-wings flying in a white background and no stars in sight. I use GeForce Tweak and I'm still learning all the different options. Any help would be appreciated
cheers

What is your setup, and what settings do you have for the game itself?
-
windows xp
athlon 1.2g CPU
GF3 Ti200
128 MB pc2100 ram
Basically everything for ingame settings is at max/high settings (very beautiful i might add). I have volumetric shadows disabled though.. the shadows appear blocky and have sharp edges.
-
hmmm...
Maybe the OS?
I have a PIII 800, 387MB, GF3 Ti 200, Win ME - I run at 1280x1024, 32bit, details maxed/nearly maxed - no problems.

Hey Octavius, your vid card might be the culprit... I remember browsing through the forums at jediknightii.net and someone else had the same problem, there was another thread by one of the developers about performance issues with certain drivers and Nvidia cards... The BBS there is down right now but as soon as it's back up I'll try and find the threads and post the links.
Oh and you're right Oct, we do need to all get together some night for some rounds of JO, ;)
Ok the boards are back up here's the link from Raven, some of the detonators have trouble drawing black skies apparently

And here's the other thread with some possible fixes

no problemo :)

What I find works for me 99% of the time....
Force Speed.. I also use the fast mode for the lightsaber.
Once the fight has just begun, hit speed and just get in there, he'll be down in a jiffy.
About the Gold Guy, I hid behind the pillars (he can't go between them and the wall) Stepped out use lightning on him, then hit him with the sabre until his shield dropped. Then just get behind him slashing all the way +) I found jumps over him worked well.
U guys find any interesting saber moves?
here's one that works pretty good:
While going forward, press and hold fire and strafe(either direction)
I am trying to figure out how to do the cartwheel move with you passing just over the badguys head with the sword below u slashing... I've managed it once or twice maybe. Just have to find the control combo.

Well I finished the game the other day and the first thing I did was press NEW game.
I'm suprised at how much I missed the first time.
The one thing that bothered me was how easy Dasaan was to kill.
Once I found out his weakness I was SHOCKED at how easy he was to defeat.:p
-
I've got a great move that I figured out last night!
Run forward w/ force speed and the light saber set to fast attack. As you're running forward keep hitting the left/right strafe keys(ie.. left, right, left, right, over and over) while attacking w/ the saber. You will run straight slashing back and forth w/ the saber. Then when you get past the guy hold down either the left or right strafe key while pushing the attack button and moving the mouse the same direction that you are strafing. Your guy will then stop and do one of those slashing circle things w/ the saber. I killed 2 guys at once like this last night :) it looked so freaking cool. The best thing for learning how to saber fight is to join the duel games. Try and find one that has only 1 or 2 people in it so you can get lots of practice.
Last night I learned alot about when to use the diferent saber styles. I'f I'm trying to get in quick and get a bunch of hits I'll use the fast style. If I'm fighting somebody that likes to charge alot I'll switch to one of the 2 slower styles and sit still. I time the attack so my saber is swinging just as the guy gets to me. If you get a good hit on the slowest setting alot of times you can kill the guy w/ one hit. The main thing I need work on is using force powers while dueling. TOO many off them :) I think maybe I need to program the old saitek for this game.
I think the campain was too short :( Just when it was starting to get good it ended. I found the last guy way too easy to kill too. I nailed him on the first fight after about 20 seconds. Just went in w/ force speed and started hacking and he died. There were some really cool parts of the single player games that made me feel 8 years old again.
cool game :)
-
You guys find the cheat for the two headed lightsaber in multiplayer yet?
My favorite move is to get back to back with the baddie and stab stright bacwards...cool in slo-mo. Btw..Try knocking downs pillars in the final sequence...you may drop one on Desann.
-
Hey Skurj, in single player try hitting
primary attack + foward and jump and then quickly hit backwards
you have to be near your opponent for it to work, I've never actually killed anyone doing this but it sure looks niffty :D
as far as I can see it only works in single player
