Dorkthehunter Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 On the LA site, in the videos it shows troopers taking more damage that vehicles! On the trailers, it shows infantry being mowed down! Which is it? Protecting the world from those who have an IQ higher than 30! Huzzah! Trust me...I'm a professional.

Jmaster3265 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 On the LA site, in the videos it shows troopers taking more damage that vehicles! On the trailers, it shows infantry being mowed down! Which is it? Well if you think logically I believe that it has to be the trailers, think about it trailers are to show what the game is like etc. I doubt they would put false or show false info in the trailer. I'm not sure about the clips...i hope theat helped you a bit... I thought that the infantry were taking too much damange and i was wondering why they didn't de, also in the new movies i felt thought that the AT-ST took too little hits before dying. Although they might have done this for many reasons we are unaware of at this time. http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/1135/jmaster3265signew13rd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirNuke Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I believe the correct answer is the fact that game balance is one of the last things you 'finalize' (since just about any change in the game can completely mess it up). Furthermore, they most likely have multiple 'versions' of balance being tested, and the different movies come from different versions (furthermore, I suspect that the balance have changed quite a bit from the trailers to these newer movies). I personally thought that the Infantry were taking too much damange without dieing in these new movies (though I also thought that the AT-ST took too many hits before dieing). However, the new movies may just be from a version that is tweaked to strongly favor infantry, which may not be a bad thing as infantry are vital to your battles (required to capture flags), and since infantry seem to be near worthless in many rts games.

Sergeant Bob Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Rebels are far from overpowered. Cable attacks against ATAT's are the most effective means to take them out, but ATAT's do have some tricks to thwart this tactic. Don't let videos fool ya, they are meant to tease. =)I don't think we have to worry about infantry taking a lot of damage before dieing. I think Vader is just fustrated with the lack of inteligence in how people post and how they don't use the search option and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordstorm88 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I think I've heard that the game is with units and counter units. so probably there are good counter units to infantry. of course its quite probable that the infantry will be less costly than vehicles and infantry comes in squads when vehicles don't. so there. but we'll probably see lots of infantry getting blown up. poor them soldiers.

Dorkthehunter Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 I'm talking about the new movies on the new LA site! It is what the game will be probably and I think the infantry are too powerful. Watch the plax trooper, AT-ST, and the Tie Mauler videos.

Delphi-PG Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 All depends on the unit doing damage. That's part of the RPS. Delphi-PGGame Designer/Community Rephttp://www.petroglyphgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkthehunter Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 All depends on the unit doing damage. That's part of the RPS. Shouldn't the AT-ST be an anti-infantry unit? It gets shredded by the flax troopers, that it should be good against! I think there is a balance error. Protecting the world from those who have an IQ higher than 30! Huzzah!

Guest Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 the game is just really screwed up, especially in scale where darthvader seems to only be about 3 feet shorter than an ATST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 You do know you can change the scale right? If your not happy you can change the scale yourself or ask someone to do it for you if your lost. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foshjedi2004 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 They have changed the whole construct of the game or just Typoed. Hopefully the latter. Delphi needs to come and rectify his Typo or expand on the change of heart. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphi-PG Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Uhh..RPS (ABR) from an RTS designer means = Rock, Paper, Scissors balance Delphi-PGGame Designer/Community Rephttp://www.petroglyphgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok9120 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 You'll notice that the movies where vader was so tall were all from E3...For those of you that paid attention you know that the scale was changed at E3 on the fighters and infantry so that the people could see from the crowd. The fact that LA seems intent to reuse the same footage as often as possible means that even on the trailers its messed up. The scale on the unit sample movies seems new, and boasting a more "realistic" scale. Sorry if I'm being harsh but Beowulf is reminding me of Cheesinator on the LA forums...has very little positive to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbageben Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Uhh..RPS (ABR) from an RTS designer means = Rock, Paper, Scissors balanceThat could explain somewhat for why AT-STs do so little damage to infantry. The podwalker and speeder bike would be the primary vehicles of choice against infantry. AT-AT (heavy vehicle) --> AT-ST (med. vehicle) --> podwalker (light vehicle) --> InfantryWell that's just a hypothesis anyway. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what i'm starting to think also but hes slowly using a positive insults on LEC if you know what I mean to mask it up. Anyways RPS means Rock, Paper, Scissors balance.
