Open

• New: Repeating Pistol (Rebel Trooper) - The CR-2 repeating pistol is a light repeating pistol used by police and paramilitary forces for firepower at close range. Packing so much firepower in such a small frame comes with the downside of making the weapon more difficult to control during prolonged firing, resulting in accuracy bloom. Level two increases the clip size while level three increases fire rate.
  • Primary Damage - 25
  • Primary FP Drains - Close: 8 | Far: 6 | Blocking Close: 7 | Blocking Far: 5
• New: E-22 Rifle (Imperial Soldier) - The E-22 rifle is a double stacked blaster which primary fire is a two shot burst with every pull of the trigger. Level two adds a scope and level three add an alternate fire, combining the blast chambers to fire a single power powerful bolt. The E-22 is quite easy to control while walking but it's oversized nature makes it difficult to maintain accuracy while running.
  • Primary Damage - 30
  • Primary FP Drains - Close: 14 | Far: 10 | Blocking Close: 12 | Blocking Far: 8
  • Secondary Damage - 50
  • Secondary FP Drains - Close: 16 | Far: 12 | Blocking Close: 14 | Blocking Far: 10
• New: Clone Carbine (Clone) -The DC-15 Carbine is the Clone Wars predecessor to the more versatile E-11. It's primary fire is similar to an E-11 while running on full automatic. Level two unlocks the secondary fire, a stun blast keeping in line with the Republic's preference for less then lethal solutions. The level three grants increases clip size.
  • Primary Damage - 31
  • Primary FP Drains - Close: 9 | Far: 7 | Blocking Close: 8 | Blocking Far: 6
  • Secondary Damage - 8 and stun
  • Secondary FP Drains - Close: 12 | Far: 10 | Blocking Close: 11 | Blocking Far: 9
• New: Saber Throw (Jedi/Sith) - Allows more complex saber throws.
  • Level 0: The classic MB2 vertical saber throw.

  • Level 3: Further increases throw range.

Sabering

    • Duals bounce timer has been slightly slowed down to fight halfswing spam

NPCs
The base game NPC AI's have been given an update pass. They are by no means fully functional but they work better then previously. Notably NPCs cannot use MB2 mechanics like saber blocking, the reload/ammo mechanics, or weapons that don't appear in base. Additionally several MB2 mechanics like super push and cryo-nades were never designed to work with NPCs in mind and don't affect them correctly. It will be an ongoing process to work through all the mechanics before NPCs can become part of the game in terms of combat.

New NPC stats have been made and some functions that were previously hardcoded have been externalized to the .npc files. As well as some pre-existing MB2 attributes have been made applicable to NPCs. This is an ongoing process, additional flags will be externalized and attributes added as they are ready. The eventual goal is to allow mappers to make their own custom NPCs without hardcoding from AI types, team, or npc class imputing hidden flags or invisibly adjusting values. The current list of new stats are below:

armor 100 (give 100 armor to the npc, the 100 can be set to any positive number)
forceImmunity 1 (level 1 makes the npc immune to push/pull, level 2 makes the npc immune to all offensive force powers)
mb_magplating 1 (gives the NPC SBD mag plating making it more resistant to blasters)
mb_blastarmor 1 (gives the NPC SBD blast armor making it more resistant to explosives and melee)
mb_cortosis 1 (gives the NPC SBD cortosis, making them more resistant to light sabers, valid values are 1 or 2)
mb_wookstrength 1 (gives the NPC wook strength, valid value are 1, 2, or 3. Note level 2+ wook strength makes the npc immune to knockdown)
mb_beskar 1 (gives the NPC mando beskar, valid value are 1, 2, or 3)
FL_NO_KNOCKBACK 1 (makes the NPC immune to knockback, used by Rancors and Wampas in base)
FL_SHIELDED 1 (makes the NPC immune to most weapons other then saber and explosives, used by AT-STs and Hazard Troopers in base)
noLocationalDamage 1 (makes the NPC immune to locational damage)

The team has also done a basic pass on the base NPCs already in the files. If an NPC isn't listed below, it wasn't changed. We also put in some placeholder weapons as several single player weapons (tusken rifle, gaffi stick, noghri poison stick, jawa gun) don't exist in the multiplayer code. Most of the changes were buffing the hp and adding armor so the NPCs can keep pace with MB2's higher weapon damage. You will note that many of the "changes" are just adding the attributed that were previously hardcoded to the .npc file so the NPC in question hasn't actually changed.

[MB2 Fan]

Hello,

I registered on the MB2 Homepage today, because I have some Complaints about the MB2 Updates.

I like to play as Jabba the Hutt on the Legends Server of MB2.

Jabba almost never gets Updates, which is a big Problem and makes it more and more difficult to play and win with Jabba?

In my Opinion Jabba needs some minor Updates:

- A Yellow Light Saber Style for his Battle Axe.
- A Fake Death Animation, like the Kowakian Monkey Lizard. In the Movies Jabba was always a Trickster, it would fit to his Personality.
- A Gun, like a Pistol, would be very helpful for Jabba too.

The Devaronian has a Dual Pistol and he is pretty similar to Jabba with his Game Specifications on MB2 Legends Server.

I'm pretty sure all my Ideas about a Jabba Update / Upgrade will be rejected, because the Developers / Admins only care about their beloved Siths / Jedis / Bounty Hunters and so on.

An Update / Upgrade for Jabba would be seen as to dangerous for the Game Balance on the MB2 Legends Server.

And NO: Jabba is not overpowered.

Best Regards.
MB2 Fan

On a more serious note, the evened-out swing lengths do feel nice. But the eternal issue persists – it's about time someone put a timer or counter of another sort onto a swing, to make damage proportional to the distance the sabre travelled, with maximum reduction of x0.4 damage dealt, up to x1.0 for a regular swing. Make yawing a tool to use appropriately, not a mandatory technique, there's JA for that.

ACM indicator works nicely, very pleasant addition, though isn't gaining ACM on consecutive swings a bit too much? I must've missed the patch where it was introduced. It seems like the entire idea behind an opener has always been that it is possible to consistently block it with enough practice, so if you miss it the punishment is quite severe: full x1.0 damage as opposed to consecutive swings' x0.5, and ACM built for your opponent.

Consecutives giving ACM has been like this since R20 release. And it makes more sense than ACM previous patches, where even if you've blocked first 3 swings of a 4 hit combo, the last one would still hit you for full damage and full acm gain.

 

[agentoo8]

I haven't even had a chance to play the new patch yet because linux hasn't been fully updated, but this is just nonsense, and calling Leons retarded is uncalled for. Maybe take a look in the mirror instead.

The changes that Leons made were mainly voted on by the community, and most were overwhelmingly in agreement. He didn't do anything bizarre like tempest, and disregard every sensible duelist in favour of his own convoluted bullshit, he actually mostly just implemented what the community wanted, like unconditional PB in returns.

There are also a bunch of fixes to mechanics that were broken, for example, as has already been pointed out, everyone benefited from the MBC bonus in the previous patch (on PB) due to a bug, so now it's actually more difficult to get ACM than before.

Of course, it's still far from perfect, and much work still needs to be done, but this is undeniably a move in the right direction.

Also, please update linux ui file.

Hear, hear.

Got around to dueling for a bit, overall seems like an improvement thus far. Yellow is nearly what it was pre r20 swing speed wise, the w->wa transition got slowed down a bit too much, I think the rest of the transitions are the same from my brief testing. I understand the return time nerfs on blue and duals, but I do not think globally nerfing the times is the best approach, the two styles feel clunky to play currently to me at least coming from previous speeds. I would prefer to see pb increase the return times to reward good offense with adjusted potency of other timers, such as half swing transition etc on blue.

Despite the clunkiness on blue, still performed well with whatever's going on with the perks, would look at acm gain/loss on blue and cyan both of which felt strong (Or just delete acm, will make the game run better lol). Staff mixes seemed strong again coming from forced spins/delays, maybe something to look at. Purple and red are whatever atm. Not sure about reducing dmg for being hit during slap, maybe warranted now given no dumb knockback. Saw some bugs with either dmg or dmg indicator, doing half dmg of full hit on slap knockdown. I would hope counters are the next thing being looked at. Hot take, bring back a insta hs on yellow but only from body hit from d/a with .5 dmg etc, good conditioning tool that was surrounded by stupidity with no requirements, as is a common occurrence with mb2 mechanics.

I was testing the transitions on 1.4.8 and got a comparison video and it seemed same, i.e W-WA isn't slower than pre r20.
I'm seeing positive response to blue and its capability of halfswinging nerfed, to me personally the timers felt completely fine and perhaps is a thing of getting used to. I certainly don't think nerfing bounce timer was a bad approach, as it is practically the only approach in terms of nerfing halfswings. Besides, blue is a defensive style and should be played like one.

If you're saying acm gain on fast styles is op, it's rather weird, as they are running 0.75 on gains and drains, and only 0.25 for combo swings, it's theoretically nerfed quite significantly compared to other styles. But I'm not saying it means it doesn't need any adjustment.

Being hit during slap was causing 1.00x damage this whole time, so theoretically, it was an increase. In the beta team, we've agreed that something like 1.40x would be something absolutely unjustified, especially when the opponent can land a swing and THEN get slapped. The fact we've removed damage clamping and whatnot played a role as well. The damage indicator shows correct values, so the issue should be the damage on full hit on slap knockdown, which is something that I've tried to fix, but apparently works only 80% of the time? God help me.

Counters are certainly a thing I want to look at and will do, but not just yet. Regarding Yellow A halfswing... I'm very based, and I've heard this from others even before I started hating it myself, it was breaking the flow of the duel too much.. not a fan of it. Don't think it'll be reimplemented unless I get bombarded with requests of it, which I doubt will happen.

I'm thankful for the feedback

In the beta team, we've agreed that something like 1.40x would be something absolutely unjustified, especially when the opponent can land a swing and THEN get slapped. The fact we've removed damage clamping and whatnot played a role as well. The damage indicator shows correct values, so the issue should be the damage on full hit on slap knockdown, which is something that I've tried to fix, but apparently works only 80% of the time? God help me.

Counters are certainly a thing I want to look at and will do, but not just yet. Regarding Yellow A halfswing... I'm very based, and I've heard this from others even before I started hating it myself, it was breaking the flow of the duel too much.. not a fan of it. Don't think it'll be reimplemented unless I get bombarded with requests of it, which I doubt will happen.

I'm thankful for the feedback

Retracting statement from w->wa yellow transition difference, they are the same, just tested properly with torso timers, good job. What is the acm loss for blue and cyan currently from being hit by yellow? I wouldn't say the acm gain was op for blue/cyan, but I definitely noticed it more than when using duals or staff. Agreed on the slap dmg changes for now, would need to duel a lot more to determine any concern. I despise the way the a swing was introduced, as you said shitting on the flow of duels and becoming a default and necessary option at times e.g hs after parry. I liked select applications of the swing such as conditioning for half swings and some other vortexing applications so people can't neutral in-between for free if they are adept with timings, but it was way too easy to set up. I would like to hear any ideas you have for swing-based mechanics of conditioning.

The acm modifier is being applied to both gaining and draining for all styles, i.e cyan and blue gain / drain 0.75 ACM, other styles gain / drain 1 ACM. So blue gets -1 ACM when hit by yellow first swing bodyhit. Regarding swing based mechanics of conditioning... that's too much logic for me right now. Would need to properly think about it

All good, maybe look at acm drains then vs blue/cyan, old acm of light styles losing more acm did serve a purpose.

So you think, just as an theoretical example, fast styles should be drained for 1.5 ACM instead of "just 1"?

Yes, given fast styles should/have more opportunities to steal timings, it's a checks and balances approach so you can't vortex people as easily without some solid combinations of defense. As for the specific number, would have to play around with it, why I don't like acm compared to toning down or gutting style atk/def values. The defense for the light styles comes from the above in stealing timings or should be, not having 70bp def values and holding s key which has somewhat been addressed.

Yes, it seems uii386.so needs some loving as well, again.

It dropped in Discord thanks to Mace Madunusus.
Let's gooooo!
Time to read the changelog proper now, I guess.

Also, what sorcery is this it no longer crashes the client on map change, whee!

In my mind its fair for blue/cyan to gain and drain 0.5 rather than 0.75. Against goated blue and cyan gaylord players I'm nearly unable to gain any ACM meanwhile they can bodyhit me 2-3 times for each of my 1-2

Aren't you a duals main? If fast styles get 0.5 acm then duals will get 0.75 acm no doubt

well don't be hasty but if you would do that to duals please do that to staff as well
