Mando-fu: You can use the wristblaster in the middle of any melee move, and I think it cancels the endlag of uppercut. Good point that godcaster's basically better than m5, although there's a theoretical counterargument: a good M5 ARC sniper would be a lot harder to hit than a godcaster wook...

What if ARC is fine approximately where it is, since it rounds out the "capabilities" of a team, rather than particularly amplifying the raw "power"? As in, bounce shots let your team pressure Sith and people in cover for free, M5 sniper lets you have... a constant sniper threat, I guess...

Given that the headshot multiplier is something like 3.5 last I checked, doesn't an EE-3 headshot do 350-ish damage, meaning it will kill anything that's not a very healthy Wook or a droid? Also, doesn't an M5 sniper headshot do upwards of 150 damage, if my numbers are right? I've never tested...

I really like Achilles's "Nerf strafing speed" idea and think it warrants further discussion or experimentation or something.

asterasterisk?

I like this Deka can fire while walking, meaning that it can assault someone in cover pretty well if it's already very close. Just need a level 3 projector... or hull 3 if you're.. crazy.

Arguably, this is a good thing, if you're like me and you'd like the meta to be teamplay-oriented rather than lone-wolf-friendly. My only real frustration about that is that AOD Pandemonium tends to devolve into masses of lone-wolf jedi/sith (with some hero/BH sprinkled in) rather than grouping...

It's not a total nerf, pretty sure your FP now lasts considerably longer under direct fire while blocking. Basically the change increases your ability to block in the short term and decreases it in the long term, so you can't just run around as infinitely now. In theory.

finally we get to see the two entities with the most unbreakable levels of stubborn backsass have at it with each other. they are both unstoppable forces, they are both immovable objects, this goes on for a while. Nothing of any substance is ever said, but that doesn't matter to them. What...

@RG4 , Sense is absolutely a defining part of the game, so I absolutely acknowledge in my own arguments for removing Sense that doing so would redefine the game. To me, removing Sense boils down to "Are you interested in this fundamental change?" not "Are you interested in this particular...

@T r i s t a n would you hurry up and go. or are you going to try to wring more attention out of this community, because for some reason you want our attention.

This is a frivolous statement that's easy to attack but, I feel like it's sort of worth saying anyway: one of the coolest things about MB2 has been its consistent theme of experimenting with game mechanics way beyond what almost anyone else is doing, anywhere else. Maybe this level of...

Not disputing that they look silly, but having very distinct running animations is a good idea if they're going to be so much stronger and more dramatic than the regular styles. I also don't think they look that bad, but it is a bit unpolished.

Jakku has framerate issues even on strong computers. Not sure exactly where, though. Seemed like I had it worst near the x-wing.

The FP regen changes are super exciting and interesting, what with only giving full drain when you're also vulnerable to being shot, and having the lowest regen when you also have the lowest FP drain. Adding yet another ability button is kind of cool as far as the fixes it enables, but also...

can we talk about power management? What's it good for. The most obvious answer, to me, is that, especially with Firepower 3, it lets you regenerate your shield WHILE keeping your shield up, letting you act as a theoretically infinite bastion against gunners, at the cost of not having as good of...

Good point, albeit a matter of taste. Any really dramatic graphical changes that are still as limited as this will reduce the "coherence," but tastefully subtle ones are possible too, and what counts as "tasteful" is a matter of.. taste.

Welcome. @T r i s t a n 's an obnoxious self-shilling chump, and I bet his mods aren't even that good. I mean, come on. Seriously. Seriously. Come on. Etc. Anyhoo, I've made kind of a hobby of examining the game mechanics and explaining them to myself in my head, so if you (or any newbie...

The music on maps can be kinda fun, though. It's just that the menu music is so obnoxious that I turn off all music and forget that maps have music at all. I would probably still generally end up turning off music for the sake of subtle sound effects though, as you said. Counting to 10 seems...
