Also it could just be a coincidence but connecting to any of the servers currently set to "Legends" gives me an error saying "Unexpected EOF while looking for endquote, error finding paired value for 'description'."
Oops.
Sadly, in my rush to get these tweaks in for the hotfix (had to head out the door) I missed a spot on Traya and it is causing that error.
This will get pushed out on the launcher tomorrow once Defiant wakes up and is (luckily) a client-side fix.
Can this be updated to include the minor changes at all? I'm sure a number of people would like to know what's been changed and how.
What were the over 25 changes though. These are patch notes, if I'm bothering to read them, I'm obviously wanting to know.
We needed to push this out asap as it was a really nasty crash exploit so I gotta preface by saying I didn't finish all of what I wanted to do, but knew I needed to push out a hotfix for some obvious issues in Legends including something wrong with Cassian which was causing a crash.
I didn't (and still don't, really) have time to make a detailed changelog for it, thus the condensed version in the initial changelog.
Since I am still AFK I won't give you exact numbers, but here is the quick synopsis via mobile:
There were a few OP classes like Chirrut, Tusken, Jar Jar and Nihilus which had their damages and abilities nerfed a bit. I also removed heal from Malak (turning him into more of a Speed sith) and gave it to Traya who is a support force class/force whore. A few of the Jedi/Siths got their ap/bp bonuses adjusted in attempts to balance duels a smidge more (while still making things interesting and ''close'' to canon). That being said with Legends my main focus has been in having fun with as many features in MBII as possible. Can't beat one class? Too bad. Try a different one which counters it better. It's a bit more rock-paper-scissors, kind of like the B17 days of old. My only real concern is that both teams have good counters and there isn't just one class that rips everything and has no counter. Please
Maul and Vader got buffed a smidge (Vader is more of a tank and Maul has faster combo speed). In general all of these tweaks were really minor aside from what was mentioned above. Death Trooper, Bossk, Grevious and Phasma got buffed a bit as well. Cassian now can shoot two shots before reloading with Proj, could be a bit too OP but I thought some people who got their proj nerfed might enjoy playing him.
In general I do not feel completely satisfied with my tweaks, but I believe they are small steps in the right direction. I just made a topic reserved solely for Legends feedback
here.
I look forward to your feedback once that fix gets pushed in a few hours and you get to try everything out!
