It is with the utmost grief and sadness that I have to let the MBII community know, that on 29th of August 2019 one of our well-known community members, Pepsi, has abruptly passed away. The news is so unexpected to me, especially considering his young age, I can barely find the words for this...

Which actually makes perfect sense. I see what you mean. Basically, this ensures a sith won't get shot in the face by the person he just successfully landed his lightening on. IMO - absolutely reasonable. I would just specify that in my opinion, ability to shoot by the affected gunner should...

I fully agree with blob speed slowdown. Ideally, something also needs to be done with SBD. LOL. Are you saying this because this is the only way you get kills as a sith? Because "I'll cheese fry a gunner so that he can't really kill me and can only run, but he can't run that fast because it...

The problem is not the fact the trade-off is not fair. The problem is that with no windup animations or some changes to the mechanics itself it is almost completely luck-based guesswork (except from a marginally small amount of mindgame). This is why I find it boring. One thing to be very...

Okay, I think I see, what you mean. It looks like by rock-paper-scissors you mean the same thing I refer to as assymetrical gameplay in general. Just a little bit. The problem I have with it is that it has ability to completely incapacitate opponent for a few seconds, has wide range and angle...

They don't do it everywhere, and it does not work everywhere. I would argue for a game like MB2 it is actually quite bad philosophy. That is if we talk full classes as hard counters, at least. Half of the games you listed do not do rock-paper-scissors that much, other half have key gameplay...

Gave my vote to "yes", mostly because I always preferred principally simple ideas, systems, and mechanics, the kind that by their nature differentiate skilled and unskilled players enough not to need additional complex mechanical neuances and "special cases" to be effective and make interesting...

No, he is right actually. I mean, the initial idea and template is good, and this is what I like about the current version, but the values for regen and drains are definitely off in the live build.

Yeah, I kind of got that vibe too, but I will still provide argumentation to why this specific change is good. But that is what you missed, Ben! It is absolutely not just "changing for the sake of change"! More like changing for the sake of more interesting gameplay and making more of the...

"Old" and "has been here forever" does not mean "good" and "makes for interesting gameplay". And I completely disagree that it was that finetuned. In fact, in the latest version all the saber versus gunner balancing was basically circling around the idea of flinch, and FP drains were so low as...

So, the main point is PB is very hard to do and therefore needs to bring some compensation for the skill, and to actually matter. I absolutely agree with you, although I do not think bringing back combo breaking on PB is a very good idea either, mainly because then it starts making too much of...

Do you receive any error messages or codes at any point? What is the client executable you are using? JAMP or OpenJK (MBII Client)? You can check it in the Settings menu, the "Engine" option. Do you see either jamp.exe or mbii.x86.exe in Task Manager processes list after starting the game...

I believe Stassin mentioned something about the idea to slow down the swings somewhat. If that would be implemented, I don't think spam of the same hit would be an issue. Also, I don't understand why you don't like nudge so much. In my eyes it is defintiely an interesting mechanic that can be...

So, it definitely feels like this update is not complete yet, and not all the ideas were implemented fully. There is much to be done to improve balance at the moment (I feel like the drains and regen nerfs are still a little bit too much). However, the direction looks good. So, the first time I...

Have you tried starting it as administrator? Make sure you downloaded the newest version of MB2 Launcher from Download A new MB2 build was just released, not sure if launcher was updated, but it may have been. Make sure you have current version of .NET Framework 3.5 installed. Are there any...

Although, I hope there is an actual technical way to change it. I mean, devs are working on a VERY old engine, and it happens time and time again when some seemingly simple thing just can't be done, because the engine is too old and too stupid by today's standards to make it happen. I mean, JKA...

I like the argumentation by Achilles. And I feel like proposed changes are at least worth of a try along with the other suggested ideas.

It is a really good idea! I would like to start. I'm was a good jedi/sith some time ago, I'm definitely worse now simply due to lack of constant practice, but I would do fine without it, even with the current amount or practice.

Didn't I just say sense does not help making ambushes? Why would you bring ambush by a sith to back your point after we just discussed sense is not relevant for the attacking side in such situation? I'm certain that sith would have spotted you without Sense too if he was smart. The fact you say...

Definitely any of these, or some combination of two.
