V1.6.2 Update

General
  • New: In acknowledgement of the global pandemic and a reminder to practice proper social distancing, we have added a special seasonal "hat" (face masks). As with other events, visibility can be toggled in Settings -> Video -> Visual Options -> Seasonal Hats, or with cg_scrooge in console. We hope everyone in the community manages to stay safe in these trying times.
  • New: Discord Rich Presence.
    • Discord RP shows the server you are actively playing on, as well as map, mode, class, and time. It is opt-in by default, so go to Settings -> Other -> Rich Presence to enable it, or type /cg_discord 1 in console.
    • Note: This is currently Windows only.
  • Fix: "siegeclassopen" is no longer broadcast at times when it's unable to be done as a command.
  • Fix: Player HUD should now reset to turned on when joining a server.
  • Change: Player names are now logged into the ClientConnect string in server logs when joining the server.
  • Fix/Change: Class/team limits logic reworked. Should no longer kick players to spectator when they're already on a team and haven't changed classes. Message to player is now printed to the center of screen instead of to console to make it more obvious what's happening.
  • Fix: Corrected issue with muzzle charge on some FA classes showing a missing shader.
  • Fix: Custom Model Overrides sometimes not working as intended (example having both Peneke, HB and other packs in MBII folder at once and not all models showing up in Custom Models area
    • It is advised to use z_zz_nameofpk3.pk3 format when creating model packs.
  • New: More 'give ___' commands added (for when cheats are enabled on a server):
    • give health, give weapons, give ammo, give armor, give fuel, give battery, give BP, give stamina, give lives
Gameplay
  • Fix: Saberists no longer have their rolls canceled or take damage at points during the rolls after being shot.
  • Change: Saberists now have normalized knockback applied while in the air (albeit reduced to avoid being juggled in the air).
  • Fix: Players no longer turn invisible if their model/class has an animation without any frames in it.
  • Change: EE-3 Primary FP drain multiplier increased by 50%.

  • Change: Messages regarding class queues in FA (such as being removed from a class or your position in queue for a class) now have a duration of 14 seconds instead of 7.
  • Fix: Blue, Cyan, and Purple styles can once again be selected all at the same time instead of only being able to pick Blue, Cyan, and Red styles.
  • Change: Dodge:
    • Some missing entries for hitbox locations that may be causing inconsistencies for triggering Dodge have been fixed.
    • Now drains more slowly (250ms between ticks instead of 90ms).
    • No longer dodges headshots from Projectile Rifle or Disruptor Rifle.
    • Instead of just dodging all shots during the activation window, your Dodge point pool now steadily drains after activating and when being shot at. Shots at closer ranges drain more Dodge points than being shot from far away (capped at 480 units of distance).
    • Requires 20 Dodge points to be activated.
    • Electrifying effects (ions, lightning, etc.) disable Dodge.

    • Entry area:
      • Change: Expanded attacker spawn and entry area and removed lift hallway to reduce travel time.
      • Change: Elevated entry area to hangar level to prevent lift congestion. Lift now connects the commercial area instead.
      • Change: Layout of remaining parts of commercial area adjusted to reduce travel time.
      • Change: Reduced lower vents bomb hack from 4 to 2 seconds.
    • Hangar:
      • New: Moved the tables/overlook from the commercial area to where the outer corridor was, and expanded it into a tapcafe. The back of the bar connects a new hangar catwalk route leading to the cargo room.
      • Change: Added walkway ladders near the back of the hangar and restored unique floor texture.
      • Change: Moved hangar door hack locations farther away from doors to reduce ambush risk.

      • Change: Top of light panels on cargo room walls are now slippery.

      • Change: Generator door hack now faces defender spawn and can also trigger the attacker spawn move.
      • Change: Widened generator room, doors, and its adjacent corridors.
      • Fix: Made generator easier to damage with lightsabers, and rotating parts will hurt players.
    • Security center:
      • Change: Shifted location of security center and expanded security corridor. Both are also closer to cargo room now due to the t-junction corridor being shortened.

Legends
Once again, in an effort to continue to find that fine line between competitive balance and fun, nearly every class has been tweaked in minor ways.

Reminder: Legends mode is also a fun way for people to experiment with FA team combinations! Take a look at this guide for information and a full list of other team file names to experiment with trying maps with non-intended FAs loaded on them via the g_siegeteam1 and g_siegeteam2 commands.

why you gotta do my wrist laser dirty like that.
gunbash tho, I like the sound of that, same with staggering saberists with barge, but not so much about gaining rage from frags? weird choice

EDIT: ok so after a round or so of playing, I've come down to a conclusion
Gun bash is ok, stagger when crouching is incredible. Dodge buff I personally enjoy, I like hero a lot more, but there was wrist and westar. They didnt need that fp nerf. And fury gaining points only from grenades? Not a huge fan. Over all though, this update was a few steps in the right direction, but also a step back in other direction.
Correct.

like pretty much everything else more or less, but really dislike the wrist laser nerf

also think e11 + ee3 should have both primary and secondary fp drain buffs

good work devs, like citadel a lot so far
Yeah, I don't believe Wrist Laser and Westar M5 deserved that nerf. Dodge feels much better and adjusted now.

Edit: As for the Bowcaster changes, I'll get a little more used to them. They are fine, time will tell. Not a fan of that new animation though O_ o

Before this update you could get a full fury bar from killing a single enemy with a grenade, this lowers the amount of rage points the Wookiee receives, Wook still gains fury from punches, shots, and taking damage I'm pretty sure.

I've resolved the RTVRTM issue on the servers I host as it was crucial to Yoda working as well. I have a heavily modified RTVRTM so the quickest tip I can give before going to sleep (2am here, otherwise I'd update the regular script too) is to use the following regex: ClientConnect: \((.*)\) ID: (\d+) \(IP: (.+)\)

..? We're not here to buff random styles as the devs so please. If your going to even talk about saber styles then talk to Tempest, he has a beta which is great which brings back perks. And all styles are not cancer anymore.

chill out dude :p

@TheEggGod Wooks still get rage from other things. They just don't get extreme amounts from frag grenades anymore.

Here is a fix for the RTV script (not extensively tested but seems to be working on officials).

fix sabers!

also, why mess with unique weapons? wrist laser nerf, really? That's one of the things that make mb2 special these weapons that counter saberists are a great addition, and should be favoured over standard weaponry. same for sweep kicks, literally one of the few counters for skilled players against powerful classes -_-

as for Wookies, just give us option to have a sword with some BP, and nobody would bring up wookie classes in a complaint again.

I don't really think the wrist-laser nerf is that big of a deal. It was probably done to balance EE-3 + wrist FP drain.

As for wookiees, definitely a step in the right direction. I still wish wooks had bowcaster attachments like the arc trooper and could choose between green/red bolts to make them a more fleshed out gunner. Still, this is a nice start, but I wish wooks had faster movement speed with the gun out. That is really the big problem for them in terms of gunnerino. They either need more tankiness like the SBD with magnetic plating, or they need to be able to move a bit faster with the gun out. At least ET speed maybe slightly faster than ET. They are big, physical monsters. It doesn't make sense for them to be slow since they are packing so much muscle under the fur.

For open, I think SBD needs looking at (FP drains LUL) and the random un-called for proj nerf should be reversed as well. I get that many people whine about snipers, but that's what map design and alternate routes is for. Also, headshot meta = nonsensical in MBII as HS is largely random.

But honestly, I think the big focus should be on fixing the lightsaber system right now. The first big draw for most new peeps is the jedi/sith. The fleshed out gunners provide staying power, but if the lightsaber system is like... it is currently, well, that's not good.

Imagine if a new player finds MBII and jumps into the game to find 7 different lightsaber styles all tied to the lore lightsaber forms. Soresu, Shii-cho, Djem-so etc... Imagine how hype they would be as star wars fans. Imagine how incredible it would be if all those styles played differently but were all viable and unique. It could feel like you could pick a lightsaber form, maybe some personal perks, and customize your own unique lightsaber style to truly get into that RP feel of being a jedi master or a sith lord.

Currently, it's just yellow style spam, hope for interrupts and a weird unintuitive way to PB attacks (aim at invisible boxes in the air near the opponents model).
