Overall looking to be IMO one of the best patches in years. Few things I've noticed so far, im sure most of the issues are known though.

1. The team overlay cuts off if you're name is too long, the background is shorter than the names so it looks off.
2. the lowercase j in chat looks like a i and its very off.
3. I think this is in the works, but i'd love the option to have the old font back for text chat, everywhere other than that looks amazing.
4. Non convergence crosshairs are very much borked. EDIT (cg_twopistolcrosshairs 0) fixes it

This should only be the case if you have the widescreen cvar off. Unless there are some weird characters that are slightly wider than what I used to test. Wasn't something that could get fixed before release, and wasn't gamebreaking so it wasn't a release stopper.

3. I think this is in the works, but i'd love the option to have the old font back for text chat, everywhere other than that looks amazing.

You can already do this yourself. Make a new HUD preset, that modifies ui\mb\alpha\hud\mb_hud_chat.menu from MBAssets3. Change the font to 0 or 1, with 0.65 font size. Of course when making a new preset, put that .menu in your own folders and have the HUD preset (just like UI presets) reference that new .menu location.

What do you mean by new HUD preset? I tried directly modifying the file you said and it seemed to have done nothing to the chat unless im missing something.
EDIT: Messed around more, it changed the font but it looks worse than before for some reason.

Its the same as the UI, in UI/ you have .txt files which load all the various .menu files relevant to a specific thing. In UI/cfg/hud you have the HUD presets that reference the hud.txt files. (the UI ones are in UI/cfg/layout). Make a new .txt by copying the existing hud one. Name it something else, open it up and rename the .menu pointing towards the chat to your new one. Make a new preset in the cfg folder for the new hud. Select it in the UI (you will probably have to restart the game or reconnect to the server you are on for it to change if youre in the server)

Had more time to play with the patch, most of my issues I mentioned earlier I either got used to/fixed.

Gameplay wise, I'm loving almost everything. Convergence pistols do seems a bit too strong ATM.

I think there gonna eventually have to be a small damage nerf for those pistols because of it.
ARC pulse nades are a bit too low on range.

I like everything with the UI except still the team overlay just isn't doing it for me. It could be placebo but it feels like it's taking up extra space or something. It does seem to look "cleaner" though which is good. If there was anyway to make the actual size of it smaller manually, I think that would improve it alot.

Like noted in the patch notes, team overlay will be getting further options, improvements, tweaks. Just didn't have time before release to finish that.

ARC Pistols
I always wanted the pistols to centralize correctly. I have a feeling they might be op now but we'll see. A great change, maybe a op one.

Grenades
Grenade not being as cheesy sounds good, need to try it to see what I like. I'm hoping you guys didnt change concs? I assume that they still knockdown (since they arent really a direct hit kinda cheese?)

Projectile rifle
Thank fucking god thats buffed. I was sick of watching certain sponges. This is good.

HS multiplier
Thank god as well. If I wanna play arma i'll play arma. Probably too high still. Not sure. Sniper is fine, its skill.

FP drains
looks fine

Melee
I didnt see that coming, I incorporate melee into my fighting. So I love this.

SBD
Baby buffs, needs more.

Deka
Weird stuff, I dont really know what you're going for here. Shits an annoying class.

Hero
QT need to try to see if I like.

Wookiee
Pulse wook. Thank you. Give me more strat options
You added fire elemental damage to a wookiee? Kinda seems od. I think thats a good thing though?

ARC
I have wanted and pushed for ARC actually being mobile. Dex2 is a good thing.
M5 welcomed changes. I think there needs a little more because I think with ARC pistols change, they're still not on par.
Interesting bounce decision for dmg per bounce. I think this is good. As much as I love them, I hate playing sniper and being punished for doing what I do when they dont peak sometimes

Jedi/Sith
Being able to get a free hit in no longer. Cheese removed good.

Mandalorian
-I would've left the base timer alone if not jetpack.
-Flyby cooldown is a good thing
The thing that worry's me the most is the damage multipliers, general dmg etc etc. So that I'll look at. I'll say this, it should still be able to cheese tbh. Not so easily but it is a rocket. It hurts. It should kill.
EE3 holy fucking shit can I use this now? Probably still not on par with westars but thank god bloom is less. Bad mechanic tbh.

Bounty Hunter
I think this is okay, I would've made the drain 10s. Maybe proj might see more use now? Idk, I took the sniper nerfs with a grain of salt. My biggest dislike.

Snipers play the waiting game. I dunno about punishing. I'd probably up the timer from 5 to 10. P3 dodge master race.

ET
Haha the d280 got nerfted.
Haha the d280 got nerfted.
Probably not enough.

Rest is all whatever to me, looks fine from a quick glance. Good patch, beta team has brain cells now apparently

IN-GAME NOTES

Okay so SBD id still say baby buffs BUT i do like that i can buy something now. I think recharge 2 still kinda bad though, but at least theres an option for campy sbd defence now!

? looks stupid and j is misleading - looks like i
dual croshairs are bugged, display 4 of them like im some kinda fly
Pulse nade aoe range too low
convergence too good if u can use both imo, nerf dmg on pistols

IMO
UI team overlay should be on the right, where the lag o meter is. It would help condensing information to one area instead of me glancing at different zones.
