V1.11 Open Beta
Please be sure to leave your feedback for the open beta in the thread below!

To all open beta testers, please have a through look through as much of the changelog as you can to familiarize yourself. This update is one of the largest we have ever done that touches many baseline systems. This is not a finished or final update so also be prepared to check back for any changes / updates during the beta, and for any future Open Betas for this release. We still have plenty of polishing to do and we could use your help to identify any bugs or issues present!
General
  • Change: Optimized several areas of the code base to increase FPS performance drastically (Most notable fix was an issue with Weapon overwrites that was causing a large fps performance loss with too many players.)

      • Red and Purple styles do the current crouched swing that staggers.
      • Duals, Cyan, and Yellow styles do the standard backswing.
      • Blue and Staff styles do the standard backstab.

    • New: Parries now deal 10% base damage (body hit damage without ACM bonus).
    • New: Parrying and taking more BP damage than the amount of BP you have will cause you to lose your saber.

    • Fix: DFAs don't trigger in cases where you've been knocked upwards without doing jump inputs.
    • Change: Knockback on special moves reduced by 30% (100 -> 70).

  • Damage Modifiers
    • Change: Damage modifiers relating to blocking/not blocking/running/walking have been simplified to the following:
      • If not blocking while running, the defender has a 1.20x incoming damage modifier.

        • Heavy Styles (Red, Purple): 1.12x
      • Below 4 ACM, damage increases by 1.05x per 1 ACM.

        • Light Styles (Blue, Cyan): 1.08x
        • Medium Styles (Yellow, Staff, Duals): 1.10x

      • Won't disarm opponent
      • Has a yellow blocking indicator for the defender

      • Has a yellow blocking indicator for the defender
      • Can only be done if you've landed some kind of hit on your opponent (no whiffs).
      • No damage by default.
      • Having 4-8 ACM vs your opponent, this increases to 0.50x damage.
      • At 9+, this increases to 0.75x.

Damage Normalization
  • For years we have had mostly stable damage and hit location multiplier values from nearly two decades of balance changes. In order to make things slightly more readable for the end-user we have normalized the hit location multipliers so that chest shots have a clean 1.0 multiplier. As a result other hit location multipliers have changed, and damage values for all weapons have been adjusted to compensate. The overall time to kill will be the same as v1.10. Below is a complete list of the changes.
  • Hit locations:
    • Neck / Head: 2.5x → 2.0x
    • Neck / Head (Sniper): 3.0x → 2.3x
    • Torso / Arms: 1.3x → 1.0x
    • Legs / Feet: 0.8x → 0.6x
  • Droideka:
    • Adjusted health and shield totals to account for damage normalization.
      • Health: 200/300/400 -> 260/390/520/520.
      • Shield: -> 200/300/500/700 -> 260/390/650/910
    • Adjusted Shield Discharge cost to account for damage normalization
      • 150 -> 195

  • Change: ARC Dexterity 0/20/5 Points (was 0/0/20)

  • Change: Internal back end resource mechanics have changed:
    • Fuel/Stam/Battery/Energy/Fury no longer share the same stats as BP. BP is now an isolated mechanic focused on Saber game play.
    • Fuel/Stam/Battery/Energy/Fury are now considered Forcepower internally but each with their own style of regen and conditional exceptions.
      • This means abilities that taking or giving resources such as drain poison or force energize will operate on a classes primary resource mechanic. While this will have little effect in Open it is designed to facilitate more team play or ability denial in FA, but its primary objective is to keep the sanctity of the Saber dueling system.
  • Change: Regen Mechanics Updated
    • Force
      • Force regens at a rate of 1 per 150ms (6.6 per second).
      • Force doesn't regen while in air. (Unchanged)

      • Classes that utilize energy now are given 100 energy instead of Dodge granting 0/33/66/100 at ranks 0-3.
    • Rage
      • Drains at a rage of 1 per second when out of combat (5 seconds) and not enraged. (Changed from 2 per second at rank 1, and 2 per 2 seconds at rank 2)
      • While enraged, Fury drains at a rate of 8 points per second.
    • Battery
      • Regen ticks happen every second, gaining 2/3/4 points (2x if in recharge boost)
      • With Drain condition for the amount as follows:
        • If you are attacking: Drain 3/2/1 Battery (was 3/3/2)
        • If you are Running: Drain 3 points
    • Stamina
      • Regen ticks happen every second.
      • If walking, crouched, or not moving, regen 5/7/9 points
      • If running and not sprinting, regen 3/4/5
      • If sprinting drain 4 or 8 while firing
    • Fuel
      • No Regen
      • For FA with MB_ATT_FUELREGEN
        • Regen 1/2/3 every second while not flying or cloaked
New: Specialization and point cost changes

    • Change: Force that you can deactivate (Speed Sense ect) have a shared 500ms timer before you can deactivate. (Down from 1500)
  • New abilities that help set up these build paths: Force Attunement, Saber Defense (now strictly vs sabers), and Gun Defense (strictly vs non-sabers). These will be change class configuration options in the following way:
    • Force Attunement determines the tiers of force powers you have available (excluding Jump). Level 3 Attunement lets you buy level 3 force powers. This will have a mutual exclusion with Blaster Defense based on the following:
      • If you have level 3 Attunement, you can only have level 1 Blaster Defense.
      • If you have level 2 Attunement, you can only have level 2 Blaster Defense.
      • If you only have level 1 Attunement, you can have level 3 Blaster Defense.
  • Change: Force Focus builds faster (400ms -> 300ms tick rate) faster vs targets who are moving while not blocking/walking/crouching
  • New: Force Attunement
    • Cost of 0/6/6
    • Level 0:
      • Max FP pool of 80.

Legends 2.0

Overview​

With the 20th Anniversary update comes the ability for classes in Full Authentic mode (of which legends is a special case) to have attribute customizations normally only found in open mode. This gives the player an unprecedented level of control on the potential loadout configurations.

The Legends FA has been overhauled to allow customization for some, but not all of the classes players will be familiar with from legends in 1.10.X.

Caveats:​

  1. Most classes have been kept in 1.10.X; A few were merged into a single class to allow for better customization. Those kept and not customized had their stats altered to try and make them more distinct from each other.
  2. Other members of the MB2 have also been working on changes made to weapons, powers, and attributes and efforts have been made to sensibly integrate those changes into legends.
  3. For the reasons above, the FA is far from being final, and so instead of describing each class in detail (Read the MBCH files if you want) I’ll instead discuss what the customization options will be and what the theme of the class will be.
  4. Unlike most FAs which I try to present as finished, potentially large class changes should be expected. Everything is rough, nothing is final, and class descriptions will likely be missing or inaccurate until things are more finalized.
  5. The force using classes have all seen tweaks to lightsaber multipliers, health/force pools, regen rates, movement speeds. The changes are only mentioned a few times when they are especially noticeable and do not expect them to stay as they are due to the Saber system changes. The goal was to retain and accentuate the theme of each class. If you really want a breakdown of the classes, the link below is a spreadsheet with the design philosophy and stats of each force user.
  6. Legends 2.0 Force Users First Pass
  7. It goes without saying that any large change or expansion of features comes with the risk of increasing imbalance. We have created a new Discord channel for Legends feedback and will be paying close attention to requests there from now on.
  8. All custom modifications to Legends upon release of Legends 2.0 will lead to a delisting of that server after proper warning.

Looks interesting. Weapon splitting and sabering are the pinnacle of this patch.

  • Blocking
    • Instead of triggering a Perfect Block in the return (if not feinting), now does the following:
      • 0.75x damage multiplier
      • Builds partial ACM for the attacker
      • Has a yellow blocking indicator for the defender
      • Can only be done if you've landed some kind of hit on your opponent (no whiffs).
The game does not work without PB on returns, I rly hope these notes are old notes that got copied over since Tempest did say he would look at pb on return again (nobody wants them to be removed so this change has no reason to be here in the first place). Else It's hit and run battles 2 which isn't fun and is frustrating

Also red has way too many things going on, being able to stagger on hits is pretty much a cancer perk compared to a fast A halfswing (it guarantees a full combo hit or the enemy is forced to run away), AND its just one out of 2 Perks (the other pierces a pb by 50%). Now it also got the baseball bat special. Btw idk if its a bug, but the note says it, you can stagger through a PB (so when you have enough velocity), because last year I tested it and you could stagger through pb sometimes when you hopped in . Overall way too overbuffed compared to the other styles

Same they should also add more detail on the map so I don’t get lost. Whenever I play on Manaan (On the imperial side), I always get lost and the entire team has already won the round by the time I finally find my way. Bob really needs to do something about his map. Also please add a goblin skin in to Manaan FA.

Also developers please buff speedlunge it is 2033 April 12 and speedlunge is still in this buggy shit state. FYI I haven’t got a kill with it since 1853. The day before the nerf. I am starting to believe the developers are making these changes to pander to hateful bigots (Scrimmers), who don’t care about the fun of this game.

Bro read the changelog before replying.

  • Speed Lunge:
    • No longer requires a saber to activate
    • Once you're in the time window for being able to attack, you can now once again aim your camera freely in any direction.
    • New interactions with walls:
      • If holding the jump button when colliding with the wall, you will grab and hold onto it.
      • If not holding the jump button, you will automatically rebound off of the wall.

Mouse 2 is the slap for SUPERBATTLEDROID and i don't like the changes. Can SBD keep his mouse 2 as slap? İ don't want to use any other bind for slap except mouse 2. And binding the new "slap/bash" to mouse 2 makes any other class weird. Because alt attack is also mouse 2. I hate it

The beta changes to mindtrick, force block, saber/blaster defence, attunement, standing still deflect animation, allowing repulse + saber defense, and view-based fp drain are the worst things in this game that I have ever experienced👍
