They took the coolest force move out, before the game even launched.

As seen in their own video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGvC7W-ET_4

They had FORCE SMASH

PLEASE bring back this ability!

Suggestion, it will be a 2-3 second stun (duration of the move, + character getting back up) and do a low/moderate about of damage (less than giant rock /shock, but more than the double strike)

Have this be an advanced move for putting all points into force lift box.

Yes?

Whenever I see an enemy NPC using this on one of my characters, I cry. Still looks so awesome... Yet again, I also cry when I see Mortar Volley or Overload as used when the game first launched.

Damn those changes.

I don't think I ever got to see those animations (I started around patch 1.1)

Do you have any links to what they looked like?

Mortar Volley
Overload

Again, you can still see several enemy NPC's still using the original animations, not to mention abilities(!) that got removed before the game launched.

EDIT:

My thanks to the PvP crowd for the above BTW.

EDIT: (2)

And Project while at it.

Meh... I think the Force Wave we have now is better than the older one. This one looks more like Force Push and I consider that a good thing.

Mortar Volley looks pretty much the same, except faster and with more shots fired. I don't know. I don't really see the difference.

I'll agree about Project though. That looked cooler the way it was. But they were right to change it - Shock was faster.

As for the Force Smash in the OP, yeah... that would've been awesome.

Mortar Volley looks and feels cartoonish nowadays. The original animation tried to convey a sense of punch, recoil.

The new one is absolute crap.

Also, I was talking about Overload, NOT Force Wave. The latter was arranged accordingly, even though it's not exactly perfect; Far from it in fact.

Overload - just like Mortar Volley - looks terrible... The ability kicks in and only a split-second later does the animation.

Bang-up job there, Bioware.

Maybe we'll see Force Smash the next time the level caps get raised? (Pretty please, Bioware?)
