So....What part of this update was useful to players who play....? Maybe in 10 more patches the ignore cmds and ur moderation ignore menu will actually work...? Ya I wasnt counting on it either. <insane rant> BUT HEY, at least he's not talking about anything happening in the real world or anything of consequence that could offend anyone for any reason in the entire world.

We found 'em folks. Someone actually triggered that an existing feature was enhanced and players now have slightly better options for filtering things they don't want to see.

As far as ignore is concerned, we still have not had any useful bug reports (with a relevant server log) that would give us a hint as to why there may be an issue. There is nothing obviously wrong with code. So until the community helps by submitting a good report (or we get a report with time info from a player on an official server) there's nothing that can really be done there.

This explanation is really for anyone other than Lee though as I don't expect a useful dialogue there.

Next patch r u gonna make it so we can't turnoff 'festive surgical masks'? Seems like the kind of direction things are going in here. Pretty sure chat in most servers is going to be.... Padawan:_____ ________ ______ Padawan2: __ _____. But Thankfully the important servers will retain their normal chat box functionality: Frenzy: LOL, Idioit_badmin: BROWNIE lOL, retard_timewaster: ROFLE LOLLOLL, idiot_melee_user: LOL LOLOL LOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOLOOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOLOOLOLOLOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL X100 cause he can't be ignored cause ur system is shite. BUT HEY, at least he's not talking about anything happening in the real world or anything of consequence that could offend anyone for any reason in the entire world.

Holy shit bro, sometimes you do say relevant things, but this time you've lost it. Try not to post anymore messages here, ok?

? Last I checked chat filters were clientside, and totally optional. You don't like it, turn it off. Censors are nice when you plan to show the game to friends without exposing them to the typical server banter, and especially great for potential Twitch streaming with the new filter options.

Change: Adjusted scoreboard and timer colors to be more pastel.

But why? Somehow this annoys me more than I thought. I mean, after playing this over a decade, I never had an issue with scoreboard colors of all things

Prevented an edge case where it was possible to roll with the shield up.

This is great news

Its better now, after the hud change it was pink and cyan 🤮

 

[The Unguided]

The voiceline were complete, satisfying, working well with the image of the character...
Now from a soldier type of taunts, I get "Help... Come on! Q_Q" and some undescriptible alien language.
I really can't understand the idea behind this change, it is almost if no one felt someone liked the character as it was. This was my go-to model. That's truely sad.


Looking at the Chiss female officer, the cap she now wear is looking out of place. The two tails on the side of her face, looks totaly not imperial. These are usually for younger females, or jedi-like characters.
The former hair we had on this model, had a way more serious vibe to it. Now I feel the face is disproportionated because of the tails and cap. This also was my go-to model. I can't hide I feel sad about the change, and will do a client-side change for myself...

The rebel girl we speak of had the same soundset as 2 other rebel female troops. Multiple different looking chars speaking the same lines is not a good way to go and I think I don’t need to explain this aspect further. So one of them had to be altered, doing so it’s safer to change that which hasn’t been available for years. Only, well… 2 months.
Secondly, she pretty much looks like a civilian. Therefore the civilian-like lines.

As for female officer. The idea is that only high ranking officers had no cap in the Galactic Empire most of the time. Tarkin, Galak, Krennic, Thrawn for example. (Even though I haven’t considered it last time.)
Our chiss girl is a different case being a nameless character unlike the imperial woman with the ponytail wearing the olive suit, is supposed to be Admiral Daala. For the same reason, no cap for her. The hair is only a choice of design which we haven’t seen before. If Daala had a cap, she would look the same. So it’s not entirely true imperials didn’t have this type of hair but I see your point.

Thing is, this time we didn’t have enough people testing the models so there wasn’t much feedback to go by. As a result it all fell on me, who usually comes up with most of these edits. I’m not blaming anyone just telling you the situation. I think I can take your words as constructive critic. We’ll see what happens next.

the high ranking officers were always capping

Good to know the general public avoided even worse colors 👍
But it doesn't answer what the motivation for the change was

 

[Gargos]

It's good to see new updates, however, I just want to mention one thing that has happened recently (not in this particular update).

Flying kicks require the +use button to execute. I don't know why this was done and I think it's a case of fixing something that isn't broken. It just makes the controls more clunky and reminds me of what was done to the RDFA jump requiring +reload when it was so smooth before.

I think we should nib this clunkifying trend in the bud, because not only does it make the controls less smooth and ruin flow, it's also more obscure.

I've seen people advocating for even more moves to be put behind the +use wall. I do not understand the logic of requiring more button presses to execute a move, and that being a step forward. It's not. If anything, it's a step backwards and makes the game play worse.

jump + melee grapple became near impossibility to execute after jump kick was introduced. By having it work only with use button makes everything more consistent.

 

[S o l d i e r]

I'm waiting for CTF so I can play again.

yes ctf will be amazing

?????? in my experience, forcing us to hold E to kick while jumping is just unnecessary and clunky, compared to just pressing space then right click.

i've also never heard anyone ever complain about not being able to jump kata. its so easy lol. i'd rather have the extra clunky bind removed because its not hard at all to jump and simply right click + left click for kata

Did you try to jump melee kata when jump kick happened with just pressing kick button during mid air? You had to press m1 + m2 with absolute precision to make it happen, where as now (and how it used to be b4 jumpkick bunnyhop) you can hold m2 first mid air and then press m1 to do grapple. Id say around 50:50 my jumping melee grapple turned out to be a jump kick just because I hit the two buttons a milisecond apart.

it really just isn't as hard for at least me to always hit the kata input while midair.

i can help you out here, say the use key bind was removed for flying kick and to make sure that you won't accidentally flying kick when you want to flying kata, you can just stop pressing the movement keys while doing the input for kata so that a kick is impossible while you're jumping

That would slow my momentum of moving forward

 

[TheRanger1245]

As far as I know, once you start kataing or Kicking in mid air you can no longer change your momentum/movement. Or am I stupid?

That's always been the case, at least for the past decade.

 

[Gargos]

Ok I do stand corrected, I went to try this theory. I was under the impression that letting go of W would make me move slightly less forward during mid air but a well timed let go off space lets me glide the same amount. Holding w makes it easier but it aint an impossible task to tap space right and just glide without holding w. Guess it is all about what youre used to doing.

As far as I know, once you start kataing or Kicking in mid air you can no longer change your momentum/movement. Or am I stupid?

I meant the momentum would slow down once i stop holding W before the kata. Like, you can change momentum when you are mid air and start holding S.

What I didnt know is that jumpkick requires "use" even when you're high enough to activate jump kick the old fashioned way. Now that is a change I do not like.
