Smashbrother Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) yeah and do you know what is the funny about that? well light sabers can cut through metals but now you can fight a Jedi/Sith with 2 metal Axes against their Light saber lol, go play Lotro ppl at least better looking Axes there. the worst than that is the THRONE which you can DRIVE! now would it be kinda stupid for a Jedi/Sith to change his Light sabers with normal AXES? hmmm guess not because the freaking Axes gonna do the same damage as a light saber, WELL DONE BIOWARE! It's called cortosis weave. Look it up. Edited November 9, 2012 by Smashbrother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NasherUK Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Yea axes are a bit of a stupid idea, this isn't wow :/ Melee in starwars should be primarily lightsabers with a few techblades and staves like it always has been. Some guy with an axe fighting someone who is skilled with a sword type weapon and standing their ground makes no sence. Axes are purly offensive and are useless when it comes to blocking.

MarkoJinn Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Horrible idea to have axes. I mean axes in SW universe? Ridiculous... To me this just shows how unimaginative the current project directors/designers are. And it doesn't speak well for the future of the game...

Wolfninjajedi Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Yea axes are a bit of a stupid idea, this isn't wow :/ Err Axes were before WoW, in fact Star Wars beat WoW on the Axes with ROTJ and the Gammorans. Horrible idea to have axes. I mean axes in SW universe? Ridiculous.. How is it ridiculous? Edited November 9, 2012 by Wolfninjajedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Urtani Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I for one am sick of seeing the overused lightsabers. Some variety will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldSting Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 In Return Of The Jedi, The Emperor said "Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger." When he said this in the movie, it made me think only Jedi used lightsabers. Sure the prequels proved that wrong, but my Sith Sorcerer has no need for a lightsaber, because he has such a strong command of the force. You think it's honestly going to wreck your immersion to see 3 or 4 people on the fleet using these, when there are players named "Wat-what Inubutt"?

Some guy with an axe fighting someone who is skilled with a sword type weapon and standing their ground makes no sence. Axes are purly offensive and are useless when it comes to blocking. Star Wars has had a lot of "conventional" melee weapons for a long time... including axes (vibroaxe and normal), vibroknives, swords (both vibroswords and normal), etc. There's nothing unusual or lore-compromising in that. In fact, I'd love some more variety like Rykk blades (common among wookies) or the gaderffii (gaffi stick) of the Tusken for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saremun Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) LMAO with this theory then Jedi/Sith should be 1 shotting everyone because lightsabers can cut through anything. Yeah that would work well in a game huh? My God do people think before posting? This isn't a movie, it is a game. You have to have balance. Go back to GW2. Did i say we want to one shot players? just freaking try to understand before you comment. i have GW2 but its a trash game and i don't play it so shut up here.

Asavar Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 So, Jedi/Sith will be running around with axes instead of lightsabres come the F2P release. Axes. Do they come with Dwarven beards as well? Can they be upgraded to kitchen knives perhaps? You say Jedi, I immediately think "ax". It's a natural part of the fantasy, and lore. This is going to be so great. Cry more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you basically did say that. Don't be mad because you said something that wouldn't work in-game. "now would it be kinda stupid for a Jedi/Sith to change his Light sabers with normal AXES? hmmm guess not because the freaking Axes gonna do the same damage as a light saber, WELL DONE BIOWARE! " You basically are saying axes shouldn't do the same damage as a lightsaber because in the movies the lightsaber was so powerful. So by your theory then anyone using an axe vs a jedi/sith using a lightsaber will lose because their weapon shouldn't be as powerful. VERY good logic in a video game. That is called imbalance. So please don't tell me to shut up when you post was 110% incorrect. Might want to play a couple more mmo's so you can understand why there needs to be some sort of balance.

Korban_HoD Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Aren't there any lore-wise characters who would wield any weapon even though they are either sith or jedi? I mean General Grievious was never strong in the force, but boyo could he kick some *** when it came to close quarters combat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but then this will get out of hand because then Jedi could use guns. Look at Luke and Obi-Wan in Ep 3. Gotta at least be reasonable and keep it how it is for the game sake. People keep thinking just because something is in the movies or books then game should allow all of this. THIS IS JUST A GAME. Gotta balance out the loot.

Please just stop. You have 0 logic in your answers. I even broke down what you said but you simply still don't get it. Not even worth talking to you anymore reading this last post of yours. So you should actually shut up instead of you telling others to shut up when you obviously think the lore should take priority over balancing a game and making other weapons less superior. Yeah people will really want to use an axe then if the stats will never be as good as a lightsaber huh? They are making the axe so people might want to use it. Never mind there is no point in talking to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellbirdIV Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 So, Jedi/Sith will be running around with axes instead of lightsabres come the F2P release. Axes. Do they come with Dwarven beards as well? Do you know that axes have been developed and used by every modern human culture in the world, independently of one-another? Because of its simple and effective design it, like the spear, has become a staple of early civilization and first-grade example of the concept of "independent convergent development". They have nothing what-so-ever to do with "dwarves". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneSage Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 iam reading through the lore now trying to find one thing about a fight between Axes and Light saber.. While you're at it, can you please find something that explains why Lightsabers don't simply cut through everything, killing it instantly. Or how others can survive multiple blaster shots. Or why Garmoreans on Quesh are able to defend against my saber with their axes? It's an MMO, not a novel. Get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
