Honestly, the beta testing is mostly good for bugs. You really need to run more open betas on FP drains/Dueling patches like tempests/stassins work, so that everyone can play for a week on a normal pop server. Who cares? Sense isn't what's carrying a good jedi/sith at all. It is mostly useful...

I haven't played yet, but it seems to be moving in the right direction. It's a start, right? Although you never know with MBII devs, my impression was that this patch is part of a WIP to fix jedi/gunner balance and interactions in open mode. Handling the FP drains was a necessary first step...

I've done a bit of 1v2 on dueling servers where BP is refilled after kills. It trivializes it too much and makes it easy for me to just hop around and aim for mblocks, and as long as I can cheesily kill one guy I can restore to full bp and win without effort. It feels bad and shallow and way too...

Good point. I hardly ever see them being used, which is a shame as they give max style points. I doubt anyone even thinks about doing the jumping backwards ones anymore. Right now the special attacks are pretty fucked. Parrying YDFA is inconsistent and you can sometimes get hit by an invisible...

This is not like HP where you cannot regen it so you need some other way to heal. BP regenerates automatically. It would really devalue all skill involved in 1v2 if you just got BP back by killing someone. The way to make 2v1 a thing is to increase the skill-ceiling and make the game less...

They've been working on trying to revamp it for awhile now and although it's pretty much ready for open beta, since it's MBII time I expect either summer or fall 2020 but hope for something to happen the next month or so. Public is a bit scuffed atm unfortunately. Still playable but it has...

Something like battle meditation for jedi would be a cool support ability. Could work like a passive aura that boosts movement speed of those near the jedi. Such a thing should probably be a neutral force power. When it comes to the hp problem in a system where a single conc nade will really...

That's not how I think it's gonna work with properly tuned fp drain/fp regen parameters and no damage reduction (thus making sec nade into a few shots lethal, among other things. Besides, why would you call it artificial? The decision to remove heal from open was made over 10 years ago now...

I am down with force protect as a neutral activated force power instead of damage reduction. Imo heal should also be added. Could be lightside power and just add drain back to sith or also keep heal neutral, doesn't really matter. There is no reason to not have heal to counteract heavy poison...

The increased defense arc on staff just means it's harder to backwhack and shoot in the ass than other styles. The thing that drains your BP fast is getting interrupted in this patch. Staff itself is pretty tanky with higher damage than blue style. Just be patient and learn to perfect block and...

Maybe it is a server side thing? It might work on, say, the official duel server but not others.

Like stassin I have also been inactive for a long time but about a year ago give or take, there was some testing involving knockback that felt good. The thing that people seem to have missed was that during those few tests, we had much higher fp drain values and also higher regen. I believe...

How is this solved? I haven't had a working pbindicator since 1.6 came out.

You should just reduce movement speed with proj to prevent pop sniping abuse. Something like 80% of current speed should suffice along with perhaps a slightly longer lock to switch wep rather than being able to switch quickly. Can also add in slightly longer reload time if you want. But ruining...

Designing around headshots in MBII is fucking stupid. Even with the increased bolt speed it is still very much random compared to a game such as CSGO. Sure you can increase your likelyhood of getting a HS, but it is still going to be random because of the movement and speed. Unless you make weps...

So, if I'm not mistaken, this means you made PBing easier. I'm not opposed to it, but I wonder why this was included? It might be better this way. Dunno since I haven't played yet, just seems like a strange thing to randomly include, and with no explanation behind it either.

I have only played a little, but I have no desire to spend more time with 1.6 for many of the same reasons you've layed out. It is a boring patch, poorly designed, that makes it feel like you're just waiting for the opponent to defeat themselves rather than working for the kill yourself like in...
