I think it would be important to know if we have to train in 1.03 or not for the tounry =D
Heck yeah!!!
I havnt got the patch yet cause you said not to but when I went to practice there are no servers running 1.02 gah!!

And if you decide to use 1.03 everyone has got a few days a head on me :P
I would say that for sabers, definitely 1.03, but of course that is just my oppinion and it doesn't carry any weight here.
I share Green's opinion in favor of the 1.03 patch. Once you start to adjust to it, learn the new timing, the knockbacks, etc., it starts to grow on you and does make the duels a bit more challenging than they were previously.
1.03 duh...the only one complaining are the gun whores.
Well that really sucks. It isn't the 'gun whores' who are complaining, its the competitive 'ctf whores' who want some competition that 1.03 doesn't provide. I love nf saabers, and I love ctf.
Ctf is ruined and imo, so is sabers. This patch was made because people whined about dfa, and wanted it to be more like sp, which it is. Except that people who spent over a month getting good at sabers are screwed! This new style is all flash. If I see an opening and go for it, it can still be blocked. New system is way too forgiving. How do you know if it will block or not? Luck?
I spent a long time training for this tourney in 1.02.
I played a 1v2 against a very good clan with tourney settings and won 30 to 5. Why should we be forced to re-learn everything we know?
because the games been out a month. Raven orginally made the mistake of creating 2 different saber modes, of which noone can possibly say you dont have more control over the new mode.

the problem? more blocking? well i might have to agree with you on that but its still not THAT big of an issue...especially 2on2. But they should definately look into putting the blocking setting back to where it was..

but as of now the saber control and movement system is total ownage.
Query
Clusterfuck the line and I'll fucking stab you.
the difference on the block system is that now ur atack can block his atackand u dont hae to be in ready position and it's a lot better.Could u imagine obi wan to be like a statue just to defelct the enemys saber ?
Oufcourse not he ll atack with his saber and hit the enemys sabber.How original huh ??? well i guess the games now becomes more and more tied with the movies :D
Tourney will be 1.03

Thx .. *run away to start train in 1.03*
By the time this tourney gets going, 1.04 will be out. TWL is turning into the joke of the online gaming community.
TWL is doing what they can to deal with the patch issues.
Can you do better?
That said, I was ready for the tourney, and now I'm a total ****ing newbie after the patch. I'm dropping out.
Shit. The patch hasnt caused the delay on this tourney... a poor decision to open the tourney to 256 that did. Division 5 isn't even a 3rd filled up. In the last week only about 10 more teams have joined. Are we going to have to wait for 5,6,7 & 8 to fill up before this tournament gets going?

And yes, I could do better. I wouldnt have over extended league by creating 10 different competitions for a game that only came out last month.

I mean god, its like some big suprise that a patch came out for a game? Anyone who has been dueling knew the had to tweak some of these features like the n00b 1-hit kill moves. Which btw, I don't think they even touched.
The delay in opening the tourney has to do with a few things. first off, we have added about 30 teams in the last 4 or 5 days. Second we are working on prizes for the winners of the tourney. Thrid, we have a full quotent of servers lined up. Fourth, we have a staff of 40 people ready to service the community in the tourney.

You seriously need to stop making assumptions as to how this sort of thing needs to be run. Feel free to give it a whirl and try to do this yourself. Maybe then you will see how hard it can be trying to satisfy everyone, or even a simple majority for that matter.
