Welcome to part two of our Daniel Erickson interview where our mic decided to take a hiatus.
The Latest TORWars Podcast
TORWars Podcast #151: Aren't You the Pretty Kitty?: It's that time of week again, my fellow galactic travelers! That's right, I'm talking about TORWars ...
Can you explained ‘damage reflection on the lightsaber’? I don’t understand what it means! If it’s horrendously simple i’ll hang my head in shame!
Good interview again!
I’m pretty sure he means the ability for your lightsaber not only to deflect a bullet, but to reflect it back at the person who shot it and damage them. Pretty sweet if that is the case!
Damage reflection means blaster bolts reflection.
So in iconic SW you’re able to reflect blaster shots with your lightsaber and even link them back to harm the one, that actually shoots at you.
So the answer that Daniel Erickson gave means:
Close to lvl 50 you’re able to, atleast, deflect blaster bolts!
Not sure if you’re even able to link them back as I just said, but still an interesting feature for this balanced MMO.
Me personally thinking about sth like a defence stance / high-cooldown-skill for lightsaber wielders that says sth like:
Reflects a single blaster bolt back to the attacker…!!can only occur once every 5 seconds!!
sry for my bad english, hope you got my point.
So why not call it bolt reflection? :p
cuz “lightsaber damage reflection” is much more pwnz0rix0riz0r like
they’re just talking informal. The skill ingame will be called “bolt reflection” for sure!!
Damage reflection simplified: Player X attacks you. You reflect the damage back at Player X. Player X takes Y amount of damage, leaving you unharmed.
thank you for getting an answer about Twi’leks! you guys are so pro, keep the great interviews and creepy fan pics coming =)
So, since the word “item” is being used, I assume this covers the lekku-lightsaber clipping issue as well as the helmet one?
sooo glad there is no dripping lava or spinnign colours effect, would ruin the experience i think.
QQ @ no player bounties. That would make the world so much more fun for the BH class. DO IT, BIOWARE!! GIVE IN TO THE DARK SIDE!!
I’m with you Tim, come on Bioware, come to the dark side. Together we will rule the known universe.
Pathos.
Thanks for asking the question I submitted about lightsabers and deflection/reflection! Kinda strange that you have to wait until near level cap to start seeing/using it, but at least it’s there.
As usual, a good interview. You guys are the best.
Lightsaber damage deflection, and damage reflection are two different things. Damage deflection is simply blocking things with your lightsaber. Damage reflection is blocking those things and sending them back at your target.
