Solutions that are not Map Reset

[Grrwunhoooll Agaburry]

[member="Valiens Nantaris"] I Agree with you there, There should be a crack down on force users. Bewteen Ep III and IV the Empire hunted down jedi everywhere, if you seen with a lightsaber you was a wanted man. One reason I made my character a Mercenary, was getting tired of constantly waving my lightsaber around. Time to blow stuff up with rockets and shoot lasers all over the place now

 

[Darth Kentarch]

How many people use an ordinary lightsabre any more?

I do.

I don't think that even the problem so much as the darn armor people wear.

 

[Camellia Swift]

Everything Val says is wonderful.

I am late to the party.

You know what's interesting about that? Jedi and Sith didn't even wear armor in canon.

Maybe because it's impossible to have the necessary mobility for swinging a lightsaber under five kilos of phrik-reinforced durasteel?

[member="Beowoof"] - untrue. Clone Wars series. I guess KotOR-era?

 

[Beowoof]

Clone Wars series.

Meh

KotOR-era?

True, there. But then again, that was also because it was an RPG, meaning it's meant for you to grind and pimp out your Jedi. *shrugs*

It's a matter of preference, but really, I think the traditional robes are more in the spirit of things, and provide mobility for saber combat.

Darth Vader wore quite a heavy life support system and still managed to cull the Jedi after this, even with reduced limb movement. During the Force Wars the Jedi / Sith wore armour, and countless other times. Including the Force Unleashed where you can unlock 'Sith Assassin' armour or whatever it was, and in SWTOR you can get armour for your Jedi / Sith. You can also read about numerous Jedi / Sith wearing armour in the novels and comics.

Edit: During the 'Star Wars: Purge' comic series, the first comic reveals a Jedi who wears samurai-esque armour.

Though I don't know what is quite going on with a map reset, and though it doesn't affect me, I think that there could be other solutions more beneficial.

[member="Beowoof"] As a person that's not that big, not super ripped, and fights quite often in over 50 lbs of plate armor... I can assure you, it would be very easy to fight in five kilos of armor.

I believe you, and knights of the Middle Ages did it all the time.

But fight in that sort of armor and do flips and leaps and whirls and all that nonsense that Jedi do...?

[member="The Queen"] - Vader was rather impaired by it as well.

True that. I've carried people between 90-130 pounds for over half an hour and barely broke a sweat. This is coming from someone who's not in shape. A pretty short person as well.

Now, if we're talking flips, leaps, and that sort of thing... hahaha, no. I can't do that sort of thing without armor (or someone in my arms). Now... Jedi do have the force. That already boosts them up. Throwing a few pounds of armor on 'em probably wouldn't do to much.
It should still slow them down though.

While I agree that less armor would be a good thing, putting up two pictures of obvious sex symbols doesn't really help your argument.

[member="Jaxton Ravos"]

It was just a bit of humor.

 

[Darth Kentarch]

Wait. Aren't we supposed to be talking about solutions to a map reset. This is my fault.

[member="Beowoof"] Honestly, you are striking at the wrong physical aspect of the armor. The weight isn't the main concern, though 11 lbs is basically the weight of a full suit of light leather. It's the rigidity and whether it's crafted to dimensions (revs armor is lamellar for this reason) . With the force, proper distribution of armor on the body, I would venture that a physically superior specimen could do all that jumping with 25+ lbs of armor.

 

[The End Narrator]

This is along the right track.

Invasions need to be separated from duel fests, they need to be quick, decisive and earn you more than one planet.

But I've tried almost a dozen times to find a formula which works between the jealousies and vested interests and have failed. So if you can find a better solution, more power to you.

Then you get into command and conquer mode and lose track of development of character behind the whole point.

I agree.

Though I don't find the current model to be very good for character development, either...

This is true.

I see an individual with increased mobility winning over someone with a full suit of Beskar'gam.

Everything has a weakness, and even massive heavily armored individuals can use so much Force ability (In reality) to maneuver themselves around.

 

[The End Narrator]

I don't disagree with you there.

For sake of playing devils advocate;
It should be considered that Vader was impaired due to losing all four of his limbs. Though his suit and disabilities did not impair his ability to cull the Jedi personally. In the Star Wars: Purge comics, he single-handedly wipes out eight Jedi Knight and Masters while in his life support suit. Twirls, leaps and all that jazz is reserved for acrobatic lightsaber forms, which are few. There are many other ways to fight, without being forced to jump.

There are arguments about that and the canon of the source you use, which I would take up. But I will just leave it there as this is not the thread topic (which I sort of derailed. Apologies for that.) and instead cede [member="Reverence"]'s point.
