[MaceMadunusus]

Bug fixes are nice, but knock-back in its current iteration is really disappointing imo and I would rather have prior flinch as flawed as it was.

Gonna take some time for us to get the right values for knockback again. FP drains and stuff are also coming, but waiting on some further back end changes that will make balancing weapons quite a bit easier on us.

 

[SpeedDemosArch]

Just a clarification on the Dex 3 change, this doesn't remove it from the special 2 rolling, just forced knockdowns/side rolling from push/explosions/etc.

no, actually

i only logged on today so i could speedrun into the enemy team and then blow up like the mr sentry buster of the teams fortress 2 but i can't even do that now because you won't let me go fast. i don't care how you do it just let me sanic around again because not being sanic is actually really fucking boring.

no i'm not being a mean ass motherfucker the cancel just straight up doesn't work anymore. keep the forced knockdown on shit like gonads and push since fair's fair (in a game where one class oppresses like 6 other ones) but let me cancel out of my own rolls so i can at least have fun in my downtime and scare the shit out of people by being where i'm not supposed to.

 

[Damn Polak]

Change: Rosh now has a very unique taunting ability

New: Senator Palpatine's spinning RDFA

v1.3 Duel of the Fates with balcony route

nice memes

 

[Spaghetti]

There was a mix up and the RTV zip pushed by the launcher is the wrong one. Use this instead if you need up to date RTV (this is the same was what was put in the RTV/RTM guide a few weeks ago, so if you updated back then, you don't need to bother again).

 

[YamThePrussian]

Fix: Lunarbase window not assigning ownership of kills to the one who breaks it.

Wow. A direct nerf to @FRANK LAMPART. How will he be able to get a positive k/d now?

 

[Liniyka_xddd]

New / Change: mb2_dotf_classicb

• Based on v1.3 Duel of the Fates with balcony route.

It is done. FINALLY.

This has been a good drama for years and it has finally come to an end. Today, we can at last put it to rest. Thank you everyone. It was a good run.

Fix: Knockback below 45 is set to 45. Knockback at 45-60 is always 60. Knockback vs crouching/jumping targets is increased by 10 (stacks with the previous modifications).

And yes, let's see if this thing finally works or not.

 

[Gargos]

This sounds good!

about window kills, I assume teamkills still do penalty?

 

[MoonmanMoonman]

So if EE3 on sniper mode has absolutely horrible drains, why not buff the wrist laser? I remember it being far stronger against force users. No one seems to take it now, and for a good reason, it's just bad. Better to spend those points on a rocket.

 

[Threepwood]

Hey. So there's a new bug included that throws you into spectator every once a while when you're already in the game, when a round starts.

Secondly the ee-3 snipe dmg increase is pitiful, still not enough to take down a sold in one shot. Putting in the effort to even snipe a sold is worthless if you can take it down in 3-4 shots with primary mode.

 

[Defiant]

The Lunarbase Window patch note was terribly written, i have rephrased it so it makes more sense.

 

[Fang]

i get you fixed lightning finally but

cant say i agree with it with c u r r e n t s t a t e

 

[Tempest]

no, actually

i only logged on today so i could speedrun into the enemy team and then blow up like the mr sentry buster of the teams fortress 2 but i can't even do that now because you won't let me go fast. i don't care how you do it just let me sanic around again because not being sanic is actually really fucking boring.

Weird. It was working fine when I was done messing around with it (I spent quite a bit of time trying out the different combinations of push/grenades/etc vs using the special 2 stuff). I'll take a look for the next round of fixes.

 

[FRANK LAMPART]

Wow. A direct nerf to @FRANK LAMPART. How will he be able to get a positive k/d now?

It's a fix, meaning I will get the kills now DUMBASS GINGER

 

[SeV]

Change: PB zones adjustments for top diagonals and vertical swings. Bottom bound lowered to about half the distance from current edge to the model's shoulders.

So, if I'm not mistaken, this means you made PBing easier. I'm not opposed to it, but I wonder why this was included? It might be better this way. Dunno since I haven't played yet, just seems like a strange thing to randomly include, and with no explanation behind it either.

I was one of the people to request it, reasoning was that the pb zones were super high up, and seeing as AW and DW are the fastest yawed starter swings and halfswings, it can be unreasonable to pb them on reaction with the pb zone so high. Compare that with low pb zones where they are at waist level. You don't have to look far to pb low zones, but you have to look to the heavens to pb high ones.

 

[TheIronicTea]

• Fix: Sith can no longer pick up weapons.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Shape]

Knockback is still a joke, at this point it would be better to go back to flinch for the time being until you have worked out the values.

 

[SpeedDemosArch]

Weird. It was working fine when I was done messing around with it (I spent quite a bit of time trying out the different combinations of push/grenades/etc vs using the special 2 stuff). I'll take a look for the next round of fixes.

keep it for special2/self imposed rolls, make it uncancelable for any form of roll/knockback caused by anyone but yourself

the "problem" of that tech was that it shits on jedi in theory (again, the class that oppresses everyone else) but there isn't anything wrong with it as speedrun tech because other classes get similar times by virtue of pressing W and drooling on their shirt

 

[Jervis Tetch T]

love palpi update dont change his mind trick immunity and saber combat its awesome not op not weak. love it. all update its awesome

 

[SlashBolt]

Change: EE3 snipe mode: - Base damage raised from 60 to 65

It's not enough.
