Version 1.4.5 Open Beta Changelog
Spaghetti said:
- Change: Sense now has a short buffer after being deactivated so that it doesn't get activated again by accident as easily once it's turned off.
- Change: Nudge removed from all styles
- Change: Global BP damage modifier raised from 1.2x to 1.4x
- Change: Semi-PB removed pending further changes.
- Change: ACM threshhold doubled. Multipliers adjusted accordingly (so the ratio of ACM:multiplier is still the same).
- Change: Slap now causes small knockback even when hitting someone that's blocking
- Fix: Attacks that cause special effects (i.e. staggers, knockbacks, etc) can now trigger the effects on multiple targets instead of just applying to the first one hit
- Change: Parrying with no BP will cause you to drop your saber
- Change: Force Repulse is now disabled in Duel mode
- Fix: Using Force Repulse from the ground no longer causes you to get stuck in weird leg animation loops.
- Fix/Change: Can no longer start taunt/gloat/flourish/etc animations while holding block/reload with a saber.
- Fix: Doing specific input combinations with weapon swapping no longer allows for instant attacks
- Fix: Spectator camera should no longer go partially into terrain
