    • Charged shots min-max FP drains smoothly scale with charge time.
    • With more of the FP drains now frontloaded, some modifiers need to be shifted down:
      • Swingblock FP drain multiplier for non-defense 3 builds reduced from 2.0x to 1.6x
      • Jumping FP drain multiplier reduced from 1.7x to 1.4.
  • Knockback:
    • Midair knockback vs swingblocking saberists increased (knockback reduction modifier lowered from 60% to 40%)
    • Tweaks to logic so that saberists should not be moved in the wrong direction in niche circumstances
  • Wookiee
    • Change: Reduced barge stagger duration vs crouched saberists.
    • Change: Slightly increased Bowcaster running accuracy whilst not moving backwards.
  • Force Lightning
    • Change: Reduced damage on two handed lightning from 2.0x to 1.3x to counter previous bugfix damage increase.
Misc
  • Windows Client:
    • Fix: Fixed a resource leak which with some system configurations could lead to a significant performance penalty.
  • FA
    • New: Added missileSound and altMissileSound to allow for custom missile loops.
User Interface
  • New / Change: Added separate UI Layout profiles that allow you to chose whether or not you want to see model or templates first in the class menu. Templates first is now the default config.
  • New: Added additional "Hybrid" UI Layout profile that uses 1.6 style main menus, but classic class selection menus. Any custom modded menus that want to use this style must set a ui_preset value of 1 in their layout config.
  • Change / Fix: Modified main class select menus to not swap back to default model list when switching between template, model, etc menus.
  • Change / Fix: Fixed chatbox 10 second option, added hidden option.

Excuse me what the fuck? Every single one of those ideas is terrible.

Let's start with Jump 4. What happens if you can jump high and not lose bp, instead of having to use + jump? Duelists at low BP will simply jump up high, since their bp doesn't go down there is no punishment, and suddenly dueling turns into whoever has the high ground, since they can just jump and run away and regen bp.

Dash for Sith and Jedi. What button are you going to give them to use dash? Another alternate ability? As if it's not complex enough. Now onto saber v gunner: If Jedi/Sith can effectively teleport 3 steps, good luck knocking them back or hitting any shots up close. Jedi/Sith meta would become taking dash, and just using an A/D dash into a swing for an instant kill. Blob? Secnade? Poison dart? Don't matter, just dash, let it cool down, then run up and dash + swing. Next: Dash changing dueling style? Are you insane? Have you not experienced how shadowing works in the current patch? Combining that with dash would literally make people who use a runhit style impossible to kill.

Block 4 users gaining more HP and Knockdown immunity. How am I trolling with the idea that a jedi who can continuously run in a straight line with no knockdown would not be OP? 0 FP? Can't be pushed. Blob? Meh. Melee? Sucks for you. That is like current wookie which is not balanced. I've already stated in the rage wookie thread that wookies are like jedi without knockback. Also, in terms of dueling, this would allow jedi to endlessly combo without being able to be slapped, and no amount of point cost would make that balanced.

More lives on soldier is one thing, but you'd have to make it weaker to compensate, which is already a dumb idea in and of itself. Vibroblades on the slowest-moving class in the game is so absurd I cannot understand it. An enemy could literally just run away and never get hit unless the soldier literally started in their face. If you're going to suggest speeding up soldier too, see the past issues with close combat 2 soldier, and why it was removed.

Commander have no changes to the battlefield? They're one of the most useful classes. Temporary buffs in the form of dodge, a recharging ability, a spawn that "backfires" but gives soldiers one of the biggest buffs in the game in terms of their movement speed, making them extremely dangerous in groups, and "barely any loadout choice" besides 3 guns, 2 nades, dodge, and rally? What are you on?

I've said my piece. I don't think any response or justification you could give would convince me of a single one of these ideas. I'm sorry, but:

For your sake, just stop talking.

Dodge no longer blocks headshots.....halleluiah it's a covid miracle. I asked u guys like 10x about this on the forums and ingame and everyone had a different set of facts on what does what....acting like the question had been answered. Well here it is, shooting in the head didn't counter dodge. And now it does. Good. Facts. Finished. Idiots....

Now onwards to my complaints!
Buffing westar fp drain but not ee3snipermode...p3 and even e11 secondary buffs (even by a small small bit)....what a joke. Buffing the wrong things once again. I wouldn't be surprised if jedi in 6 years have 120 hp and guns do 1.4x the fp drain (pssssst: it should be the opposite). Ur priorities are so backwards that nothing surprises me anymore.

And can you highlight the new maps a bit better/more? Only takes 1-2 lines and maybe a picture and helps get the newmaps played...or as of the last few years: tells us whether its worth loading them. And adding new chars to legends but not having actual skins rdy for those chars....that's sad. Not unexpected, just sad.
Done, won't check responses, never get any worth reading.

sold is not a beginner class, sold is the class veterans use when they've learned the mechanics well enough to abuse a shit character that happens to be holding a good gun

elite or clone would be far superior for new players due to their combat power being significantly higher while still having respawns. elite would also be more characteristic in having weird melee options since soldier's job is literally just being a walking e11 with no frills whatsoever. close combat 2 got removed for making soldiers way too fucking good because they ran as fast as elites at all times while having three lives. i was there, it was fucking broken

From 1.6.1 earlier this year:

Defiant said:
  • Fix: Lightning no longer has its damage randomized. This results in 2H melee lightning doing its proper 2x damage consistently.
  • Fix: Lightning no longer has inconsistencies in its damage when affecting multiple targets.

The fix in this patch brings the damage back down to what it was before 1.6.1 earlier this year, while having the targeting/damage dealing being actually consistent. The bug fix made to make it actually work properly made it too strong. Balance wise it is a revert to the previous spot it was in for years.

You don't get me,i agree that lightning was too OP before the current patch,i just don't understand why strength 3 wook is still so OP and has that immune to the Force,that he can even punch/shoot through the lightning,while any other class can't.Also can't be gripped,can't be pulled/pushed,can't be repulsed,MC Hammer - Can't touch this.

How does a single class that literally is capable of massive feats of raw strength & adrenaline, not have the ability to ignore pain? Even normal humans can do that. Have you not seen people on drugs or massive amounts of adrenaline completely tanking multiple tazer shots? Its a unique thing for a single class that completely makes sense given their background and has a high point cost. Taking away a unique thing for a class that forces a jedi/sith to actually have to think about what they're doing isn't happening, and you need to learn to adapt and not rely on EZ mode working for everything in the damn game.

And of course i know that forceuser is able to have saber with red style without saber def,but it's not that fun to play as a forceuser with saber and also wook will abuse pistol or bowcaster,when he will find out i can't deflect at all :D
