Just put up a Jedi Knight 2 server - jump on and give it a go. It should be showing up in the server listing, but doesn't appear to be at the moment, so you may need to manually connect to the server. The address is syd5.ausgamers.com (default port). Let us know what you think!

sq work with it yet?

give nathan a break huh :)
i might have to grab one on the way home

Afaik Nathan has updated SQ already but it hasn't been released yet. I hear he's planning a secret midnight release for only a select lucky group of viewers. Tickets go on sale soon!

thats game looks sweet

heh

I just won all 3 maps... lightsaber duels become a whole lot easier when you find out how to switch your stance :)


P.s: sifn't JEDIMASTAHS

sif it will run on my pc :(

You'd know how to switch styles if you bought the game because you would have the manual!

dirty juarez monkies

Im so gonna cain u all when i get home.

so like, what classes can you be in MP?

i wanna be a sith farken!$!#%

ASIF! you would read the manual. All TRUE gamers throw the manual aside and jump right into the game. MAYBE reading the manual later on just to see what is in it... and to see if you missed anything.

To me one of the best parts of a new game is learning all the game stuffs without any help from people or manuals. Cause instead of being assualt with heaps of differnt s*** and trying to come to grips with it all. I instead learn bits of it here and there, master those bits (more Lord them :p) So then when I've got all the bits covered I've got a decent level of skill in tall those areas :p

/end rant

The manual is cool if you read it only for info about the weapons and it has a cool background story (like the Starcraft one).

Look very sweet and will probably pick up my copy on the way home from uni this arvo.

damn its a bitch tryin to setup a cfg, seems like way too many things to binds and not enuff keys in close range..

I gotta have this game, screenshots look awesome!

where's my console?!

shift + ~ trog

aha

i'll probably come in for a bit tonight if the server is still running and is not full.

Very fun stuff. I wish they'd FIX THE BROKEN QUAKE 3 RCON THAT HAS PLAGUED JUST ABOUT EVERY QUAKE 3 PRODUCT though, because it makes admin'ing servers really hard.

could you please make 2 12player servers instead of 1 20 player server or something, cause 20 feels stupid

looks like a great game, but don't like its chances of pulling me away from wolf :)

whats with people bitching about people using the guns? asif you would!

Cause people suck, i hate people.

wolf pffft what ive seen of this game whips it

Bout time a game like this came out. :)
conrad : I actually breathed a literal sigh of relief, when I went to set up my config, as the simply small amount of controls involved.
Shame the single player is so f*cking slow.
But as with any good game, multiplayer is where it's at. :)

ohh ok so it has been released. lol

if it has been released anyone know where i can download it? :D

are you jokeing or just being plain clueless, no warez talk!

what is it with tools asking for warez on this forum?

Guys, is this game any good? I mean is it worth purchasing ? The last game I bought (un-trialled I might add) was Half-Life years ago. I'm about 2 seconds away from buying it in an attempt to drag me away from the now very boring RA3. Post your thoughts....

tref u da foo if u don buy dis game

ohh looks like i need an upgrade to run this game smooth

dan you dont own any warez?

and will ppl please accept duels when ppl challenge you so f***ing gay your looking at someone you challenge them they dont have a clue so they attack you, buy the game rtfm then play. stupid warez monkeys, and if you bought the game rtfm again

Sweet, cannot wait to get this game. Looks awesome.

Disk wouldn't auto-play for me, and it looked like the install hung, but seems to be working now. Anyone else have any issues with install?

trog change it from ffa to ctf, that would rule, gay noobs dont know how to vote yes in game

mojo, regardless of peoples' opinion of warez, this isn't the place for it. I suggest you quit it.

Bah, ppl dont even read/know about the Saber duels... Heeps of fun... saber locks look awesome!

yeah, 2x12 servers not 1x20... 20 ppl is too much, u just run in there with the saber swinging wildly hoping ull get sumone b4 dying... sucks!

if 2x12 ppl, one CTF, one FFA...

good enuf game, but it hardly beats renegade :-) Tho the 20ppl server sucks, cause the map is huge... we need the 32 back, or at least 26-28...

what the hell i didnt say anything??? y is my name there
and what did i sposeedly say

yeah my cd doesn't autorun...

there goes any chance of sleep tonite

=P

are you jokeing or just being plain clueless, no warez talk!

i was joking asking it on here because "none of you do warez nor know ne thing about"
because your all so l337

edit: f*** u acrylic :)

Is there any way to turn off auto aim?

good enuf game, but it hardly beats renegade :-)

heh, heh, heh

well, its not really the same sort of game (thank god, there's enough of tribes-like games already w/ tribes!)

So does this mean I should go out and buy it today? I want a demo :/

BUY IT NOW!!!

ok :)

Times like these i wish i had my cable connection back :( Have to say that this is a must for all yew star wars fans :D Dark rage rawks :)

Kane know's his sh1t about JK2.
It's all about the duels. :)
and 2x servers, 10 or 12 ppl would be better than the one FFA.
Better for the game, and for the lag. :)

good lord of all thats holy this game rules , sabre duels are the best fun ever!

and anyone who doesnt have 3 ranks in force jump is an eeediot!

Hehehe love streets of nar shadda and warring factions , consistently came first because of hurling people to their doom with grip >:) , that and challenging everyone who got within 2 feet of me

<-------- never uses anything except sabre!!

dont come near me if you dont want to be challenged!

lvl3 force jump is just brilliant , closest thing to flying , especially on open levels like streets of nar shadda , bounding about the gangways in the sky , also makes the perfect setting for duels , leaping from ramp to ramp swinging sabres!


i did the first single player mission, decided to play a few maps of multi then come back, 5 hours later i realised that it was midnight ;)

anyone else been frequenting the AusGamers server?

Darksider[Black Ajah]
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Soon comes the day when all will day
Surely you, but never I

just got it today, at work, holding it in my hands.
painful.
i sure hope you keep those jk2 servers up, trog :P

Could we PLEASE have a sabre only server? The current server is f***ing lame - there's always 12 - 18 people trying to fight with sabres and force powers, then the other few retards going around and spamming big guns into the people fighting with sabres. And of course they get tons of kills because the people trying to sabre fight have to be close together, so they must think it's great and they just keep doing it. It ruins the game - it makes it so that you have to use weapons unless you want to be spammed from behind by rockets. If I wanted to play quake I'd go play quake.

LOL i was a bit guilty of that on the AG server last night for a few rounds ;-p

but yer, a sabre only server would kick ass.. absolutely friggin love it

Meh, you can dodge the weapon attacks. It is kinda fun.

As for people coming across saber fighters with guns, it is kinda rude but I noticed a bit of mateship happening. When a gunner comes into your battle, both of you just turn on the gunner, throw your sabers..

It is obvious that the Gun Killer will get plenty of frags, so it is simple logic that says FRAGS DONT MATTER. So what if your not top scoring, who gives a s***. Only you. But you know that you cant beat the gun spammers in frags so dont bother tryign to top core, just find somone willing to duel. Simple.


Sifnt saber locks dont own you.. I havnt lost a saber lock yet.

yeh complaining about ppl using weapons is retarded, it's ffa.. thats what they're there for, if you wanna saber duel challenge people so you cant be killed by others.. i think a small 6 or 8 player saber duel servers would be a good idea, its 1on1 saber only, loser goes to back of the line, played some of that on an overseas server and it was pretty fun.. ctf is kewl as well.. 14player ctf, ffa & saber duel server would be kewl, its not serious, its just straight up fun messing about.. optus will come to the rescue soon i hope..

I bent my wookie

also, sif not quake 3 engine...
http://members.optushome.com.au/scuzy3/starwars_01a.jpg

no i bent your wookie

quake 3 engine is getting to old.

I was just playen then. The slaw is soo good. Sooo very good.

I hate people usen force grip on me though. The n00bs just hold me there so I zap em with lvl 3 lightning untill they let go then I slash em with lvl 3 stance. But the more advanced players throw me around and against walls and whatnot..

People usen drain on me really owns me too. Sucks up all my force power so I cant even jump high.

Force pull is almost useless.

Force Push is great at lvl 3. Knocks people over and then you do a big a slash to finish them. Works well with drain. Drain em, push em over then slashem when they cant get away.

I dont use lvl 2 stance much, anyone else?

And I pretty much only use lvl 1 stance to do the swerly thingo.

Turning your lightsaber off then walking (not running) up to people is fun.. and tough Cause you can pull your saber when they least expect it :D

I like how if someone throws their saber and they die, it drops to the ground with a tink tink noise.

People that dont accept challenges piss me off.

It seems that most people who win saber fights (not duels) use the Dark Side..

It is funny when people shoot at you (specially with the rifle on full auto) and you block and deflect all the shots back at them so they get axed and die hahahah Take that gun whore AHAHHA

I saw this guy doing a backstab as well, not sure how he did it though.

You guys do relise that their is a 2nd Ausgamers server, a 14 player one. With 40 frag limit... That is the server to be on. The 20 player 20 frag limit server kicks over maps too quickly, specially cause of gun whores raping all the saber fighters (when they are fighting, usually a saber beats a gun 1 on 1.)

Well that is my rant for the moment.

Ok here is Lightsaber 101. Class get your pencils ready, you will be tested next time you join a server.

Lightsaber Combat Styles
Fast Lightsaber Combat Style
- This style is very fast and primarily used for limited ranged combat. Low damage is inflicted quickly over multiple enemies. The greatest feature of this combat is the fact that an indefinite amount of attacks can be chained together.

Medium Lightsaber Combat Style
- The classical lightsaber attack provides a normal amount of damage while three to five attacks can be chained in a row. This attack is a balance of both fast and strong combat styles.

Strong Lightsaber Combat Style
- The Strong Lightsaber Combat provides for the longest ranged attack, and the damaged caused by the swing is great. The main weakness is that the long, powerful swings are slow and lower your defenses.


Lightsaber Options
Lightsaber Locking
- When two opponents lock their lightsabers, you must push your opponent away from you by repeatedly pressing the attack button. If by chance you do get knocked down, press jump to get up faster.

Lightsaber Blocking
- You can block an opponents lightsaber attack only when you are in the ready position or defensive position. If your attack is weak and your opponent is strong, a parry is possible. The defender knocks down your lightsaber and it will take a while to recover.


Lightsaber Moves
Forward Top-Down Hack
- Forward + Primary
- Backward + Primary

Horizontal Swipe Attack
- Strafe Left + Primary
- Strafe Right + Primary

Diagonal Slash Down
- Forward + Strafe Left + Primary
- Forward + Strafe Right + Primary

Diagonal Slash Up
- Backward + Strafe Left + Primary
- Backward + Strafe Right + Primary

Stab Backwards
If any enemy is located behind you, you can use the following to stab:
- Backward + Primary

Forward Lundge
If you are crouching and using the Fast Lightsaber Combat Style, a lundge can be done with:
- Forward + Primary while crouched

Flip Forward & Attack Downward
If an enemy is directly in front of you and you are using the Medium Lightsaber Combat Style, this "death from above" move can be used with:
- Forward + Primary + Jump

Forward Jump & Downward Hack
If you are standing in the ready position and you are using Strong Lightsaber Combat Style, an unblockable finishing move can be carried out with:
- Forward + Primary + Jump from standing position

I like that unblockable. I'll have to practice that one :D

The lundge attack looks fun.

And there is that backstab I was looking for..

Have fun pracing these moves.

whats the deal with froce pwoers? do you spawn with max power and can do everything or what?

Servers set a limit to how many points you can spend on force powers.

You choose Light or Dark side, then select your powers.

I've recently found out Force Pull is a little more powerful then I thought.

It is used to mainly disarm players that are usen guns..

Remember that Gun Whores, I can now f*** you over royally ... ;)

Force is strong with Toll =]

quake 3 engine is getting to old.

thank you captain obviouse.

quake 3 engine is getting to old.

maybe we should play something that uses a newer engine like cs!

doom and quake are old, but they are still hella cool to play.

heh i love gun-totting fags running at you sprayin everything they got, n s***ten emselves when u block it all, makes me laugh. it wouldnt be the same without them.

seeing as i only just got it im still not sure what those fast medium attacks are though ill have to look into it a bit more :/

How smooth are the lightsaber matches? I'd love to see two people dueling with the fast lightsaber combat style...mmm sabers. This isnt fair! I'm goin on holiday like tomorrow and so i wont get to play it till school starts again :(

just use force push against rocket whores and fling the rockets back into their face. :D

Well done Toll.
What was your source? :)
And change yer f***3n sig, hippy. :P

Acrobatics
----------
Acrobatics are key for evading enemies and allow you to
maneuver into a better fighting position.

Command: Forward or Backward or Strafe Right or Strafe Left
+ Crouch
Conditions: Must be running or landing from a jump.
Move Type: Roll
Description: You will roll in the direction you have
pressed. Rolling from a jump may help absorb some of the
impact damage. Be careful, though, because once you enter
a roll, your momentum will carry you forward until the roll
stops. You can still turn while rolling so you can use it
to outflank an enemy or avoid rolling off a cliff. You
may not attack during a roll.

Command: Forward + Jump x 2
(Press Jump once to jump and again to flip)
Conditions: Must be running towards a wall and have at
least Force Jump level 2
Move Type: Back-flip off wall
Description: You will take a couple steps up the wall in
front of you and flip backwards away from the wall. You may
end up behind a pursuer, leaving him open for an attack.

Command: Strafe-Left/Right + Jump
Conditions: Standing still with a wall to your left or right,
must have at least Force Jump level 2
Move Type: Right or Left-Flip off wall (respectively)
Description: You will take a couple steps up the wall to
your left or right (depending where the wall is) then flip
toward the opposite direction off the wall.

Command: Strafe-Left/Right + Forward + Jump
Conditions: Running with a wall to your left, must have at
least Force Jump level 2
Move Type: Wall-run on a wall.
Description: You will rise up off the ground and run along
the wall for a short time. If you hit the jump button again
in the middle of this move, you will flip off the wall.

HAH
I just joined a server soly to wall walk. HAAHHA It is soo cool to see people. I even got on person to type, wtf?

Wall walking is teh bestest.

i havn'treally palyed thsi game yet, but i do have it... and when i do, i will rape all your arses because you ams teh 1nf3r!0r

poofs!

funny that he calls everyone else poofs, yet proclaims that he will "rape all your arses" :D

My setup consists of

3 Ranks sabre offense
3 Ranks sabre defense (you wouldnt believe how fast people kill themselves shooting a repeater at me)
3 Ranks sabre throw (this has won me many a duel)
3 Ranks force jump (hello streets of nar shaada , warring factions)
3 Ranks grip (any map with an edge to throw someone off)
i think i got some in push as well =p

only managed to get into a sabrelock 3 or 4 times , but damn if that isnt cool

i was using one of the dark tie pilot skins with my red lightsabre vs a guy with a blue sabre and a luke skin - people around us stopped fighting each other to watch as my sabre gradually pushed his ass back lol!

and give us a god damn sabre only server! sure we get a few of us who form a sort of duelling fellowship stopping for orderly duels when we encounter each other , but we get the a******s who spam exclusively with the DEMP, Flecchette and missile launcher , none of which can be sabre blocked (shoot any other weapon at me though and your just asking to be killed , doubly true of the repeater)

Though ive managed to win every map on the cycle using solely force and lightsabre even against the gun whores , so that counts for something :)

holy crap toll

what is your source of information?


oh and to add to that list:

Run into an opponent and press jump... you'll do a backflip kick to their face and it will knock them over 99% of the time.

YES. Those were some fun games Darksider :)

The little duel group is the f***ing best. I can't wait until we get a saber-only server somewhere (whether it's Ausgamers or Optus who puts one up).

My setup's pretty defensive - full absorb to counter all the lightning / grip / push whores, and full push to hopefully send rockets back to where they came from (if I see them coming), to get rid of people on ns_streets, and to knock people down to finish them off. All saber skills are maxed out, and so is jump. Basically the idea of my setup is to force people to fight saber to saber rather than relying on weapons or grip / lightning.

I'm convinced absorb is the best power in the game - it counters EVERYTHING.

And as much as I hate the f***ing lame weapon spammers, there's really nothing more satisfying than making one of them kill themselves with their own bullets, or getting one down to just a saber and handing him his ass.

i dont mind the odd gun here and there, but there are ppl that just use them :( thats not what its about baby!

His magical source is the f***ing MANUAL. Warez monkies.

Or his source could be http://www.jediknightii.com, not the manual, perhaps, EH

I wasnt calling him a warez monkey. I was calling people saying 'OMFG what is your source' warez monkies, as I find it doubtful they would fail to recognise verbatim info quoted at least twice in the manual. ALso, dont give me that 'Boohoo, I dont read manuals' s***. I dont buy it.

f*** you all suck at that game, your s***kunts i tell a

Never mind about the lightsabre only server, where's the CTF lurvin dammit!

That damn blue absorb field Monkeu! At least some people know how to have civilised duels, when one of us like you me Darkness and Dark-One would get into a duel id sit on the sidelines and wait to challenge the winner

another way to spot both idiots and warezers is that the insist of spamming duels running around you like idiots shooting and whoring lightning , they obviously didnt read the section in the *manual* (cough cough) where it describes that people in a duel go dark and cant be harmed argh nothing more annoying than having a guy hovering around your duel obstructing your vision

on another note , streets of nar shaada is the BEST level for duels , jumping around multiple levels is great fun - also the first level i ever got a sabre lock

god damn you can click fast monkeu =)

lol

bring it on axis, ill own u

CTY! Capture the Ysalamari!

AHAHHA It is obvious that you cant attack darkend people, when I first saw it I was like. Yeaup those guys must be dueling..


Asif you'd read the manual before playing.

To save myself lots of typing I just cut and pasted from Jediknightii.com hahaha

R353arc|-| i5 te|-| Win4|2

I want my Dark-Clown skin dammit!@#*%

i want an ausgamers ctf server

hey how do i connect to the server?? i got the game, i got cable net, i click multiplayer, i click internet servers, i click add syd5.ausgamers.com and nothing happens

same thing happens when i try to "get a new list" of servers

choose favourites tab (where it says internet)

i want more than 1 server to play on thats not constantly 16/16 with warez monkey 3l337s :(*

need to ban all ips and only get your ip unbanned if you send trog a picture of you naked holding your Jedi Knight II box while doing a ipconfig and ping www.qgl.org in a dos box
:DD

trog can you make 1 server FFA and 1 CTY

How about a duel server? :D

Darksider[SabreSociety] - We hate gun whores.

If I wasn't so busy earning money to pay taxes for all your dole money, I would be slawing online :D

Nah, just haven't had the time. Wanted to play single player and get used to the saber before I got into some multi-slicing.

Question: How hard is it to adapt to the saber? I am just about to get it in single and it looks pretty fierce (from seeing the NPC's).

Die by the Sword had a reallllly awsome sword/mouse thingy happening. It worked really well.

Sadly JK2 dosnt have the same system :p
It is hard to explain, just join a multi game and pull out your saber and start hacking, so what if you have a s*** score, score matters not because too many gun whores rape all the saberers from behind and top score...

I cant connect. It just hangs on the "awaiting snapshot" screen :(

Read Penny-Arcade.

And they need classes, if you're a gun wielder you shouldn't be able to use the force, that's not how it worked in the movies but that's how it is in the game :(

die by the sword's sword system was slow, jerky and all around innefective , JK2 has a clean efficient fluid way of handling lightsabre combat , and its even better in single player than it is in multi (which is saying something) . DBTS you moved your sword like a paintbrush , and limbs just popped off , it would have to be a chainsaw to seperate a mail covered arm with a sword moving about 2 kmh/h

argh now im having the same problem brassOnes, worked fine since wednesday and now server 2 doesnt show up , server 1 has only 8 people in it and i hang on awaiting snapshot argh!

the servers appear to be royally boned

only one is online , can connect now but everyone gets disconnected within a minute or so!!!

please fix! much fastly! need lightsabre fix!

cyas on there later :)

oh, perhaps you should set up another server with cheats enabled so that we can all try the lightstaff that one of the guys from raven put in one afternoon.

Don't believe me?

http://www.havenofrags.com/Luebbi/doublesaber.jpg

its not fake...

hey GonkH8er didnt i show you that link on the jediknightii.net forums? =)

sif anyone knows how to get it tho

well raven have officially posted that the code does exist but will leave it to us to find

bastards

yeah i'm gonna find their rl adresses and f***en hunt them down mother f***ers f***

the servers appear to be royally boned

think I fixed em

whats with the guns...guns = ghey

Kyle Katarn still looks like Don Burke :|

can we take the guns off and just have saber and force

i spose i should complain to them...not uselessly spamming in a forum which they wont read

haha I was gun whoring one of the servers for 2 maps.

You just cant beat the guns, asborb keeps that pesky force pull at bay :D

level 3 sabre def + level 3 force push and gunwhores cant touch you

haha i pwn in ausgamers, who here gets pissed off with me??? i mean i always finish up top, either first or in top 3, i win by using my 'grip' to throw people off the edges, lol

btw if you want a ctf jedi knight server, wireplay are running one, even tho this is the ausgamers forum. but its true tho if you ask me ffa is the best for jedi outcast

gee, never thought of the old "Grip them then throw them off the edge" trick...

Yeah, once oyu get the powers down right your set against gun people.

what do ppl think of the server settings?

imo the 14 player servers would be better if they had g_privateDuel "1" and g_duelWeaponDisable "1" so that ppl can duel if they are playing ffa. also g_forceBasedTeams "1" might make ctf more intersting it limits one team to dark force powers and the other team to light.

The duel server has some problems it seems. the kill limit is set to 30 and duel limit to 1 so one duel lasts for 30 kills and then goes to the next map.

they really should allow you to callvote more stuff

what happened cant see any of em, are the servers down now??

I noticed darksider was in sydney. Now it is known that alot of sydney residences can't download of GameArena till the new server move.

Does this affect servers? It doesn't seem to affect the HL or Tribes ones, but how about JK?
