Gromnir Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 why does Gromnir lose the ability to use force whirlwind when he gains the ability to use force wave? (yeah, we know it is probably an engine limitation, but so what?) is a couple examples in game where it would be useful to be able to use the 1st or 2nd tier of a power even after you knows the 3rd. the aforementioned force whirlwind does not stun opponents. as such, it is not subject to the folks who gots immunity to mind-affecting conditions. also, we does not always wanna knock folks back. *shrug* is a minor thing. fix it. HA! Good Fun!

alanschu Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 I agree, especially seeing as Whirlwind would disable a single opponent for longer if I recall.
ShinIchiro Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 Your argument makes sense, but also force wave is more powerful in most situations...I say they should have been different sets of powers. Whirlwind was nothing like the rest of the group.

nightcleaver Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Maybe Y on X-Box/customized key on PC would allow you to change tiers. You switch over to the powers box and cycle, then press that button to change to the desired tier.

Gromnir Posted August 1, 2004 Author Posted August 1, 2004 we had our cat fixed. good 'nuff for you? in any event, coming from some sw geek whose grammar ain't exactly perfect, we find such a suggestion... amusing. relative to other 3rd-tier powers, a multi-whirlwind force ability would probably end up being too powerful. 'course, balance obviously were not a primary concern for the biowarians. is possible that the obsidians is taking a similar approach. HA! Good Fun!

ShinIchiro Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 Firstly, whirlwind should never have been in the same power set as wave and push as it is very different. Secondly, stop accidentally complememting Topaz! Yah. What does whirlwind have to do with push and wave? The only similarity is that they both use telekinesis. I think whirlwind should be powered down and put as the first tier of its own catagory, leveling up so the final one maybe has multiple ones.
thepixiesrock Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 in any event, coming from some sw geek whose grammar ain't exactly perfect, we find such a suggestion... amusing. So you aren't a geek?

Actually Whirlwind causes nearby enemies to get pushed back.......
Gromnir Posted August 1, 2004 Author Posted August 1, 2004 am not a "sw geek"... the lowest of the low. give tech specs on han solo's ship n' such? *shudder* besides which, we tend to think that being a geek is more 'bout what you do when you ain't talking 'bout games. but that might just be our vanity speaking. you wanna guess what kinda person Gromnir is beyond the boards? is a pointless endeavor. "Your right your not a geek at all(sarcastic)... " better not let tpq hear you say such things. to stay on-topic... we got no problem with creating two separate power groups from the force-wave/whirlwind thing. maybe tier 3 of whirlwind power would capture multiple targets... but have an area of effect much more limited than force wave.

LoneWolf16 Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 First off, good point, I don't like losing previously learned abilities for the sake of aquiring another, more powerful one that doesn't improve on the other's specific traits...Wow, it really seems like I'm trying to seem intelligent.......is it suspicious that I brought that up unprovoked? Ahem, secondly, knock off the childishness people, lets be adults here...........or semi-adults....above 4th grade...yeah, that sounds right. I think...

EvilTyger Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Push - Gives someone a shove. Whirlwind - Gives someone a shove hard enough to spin them, causing nearby opponents to trip up. Wave- The character realizes that finesse is unecessary, and gives everyone a good shove. I just want to use Whirlwind after I buy Wave if I have Armor on.
Ivan the Terrible Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Depends heavily on the power. Being able to switch between Force Persuade and Force Dominate would be an exercise in pointlessness. I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you But I get the feeling that you don't like it What's with all the screaming? You like monkeys, you like ponies Maybe you don't like monsters so much Maybe I used too many monkeys Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
starwarskid15_19 Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Depends heavily on the power.

Fearless_Jedi Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Actually this is not an engine limitation, someone was able to mod KotOR I so that he could use all the force powers, thus it can't be a limitation if someone was able to put it in.
