[Shadow-]

Pulse grenades did knockout if enemy on air, of course sticking. Or am I wrong?

Like the blue blob crap that the clones shoot out? or the nades the arcs shoot out of their gun? well both do if they are a direct hit. Tho if it hits you but by AOE then it doesn't since it zaps you for a bit of damage (tho they sometimes stun you)

 

[Liniyka_xddd]

Ok, before I start, I would like to thank the devs for this release and for still putting effort into this mod. Much appreciated!

I think this update is pretty good, but I'm gonna start with the bad, sorry. Tough love or something.

THE BAD:
- New fonts take way too much space and they look really off.
- The new team overlay, while pretty, is an inferior version of the old one in my opinion. Definitely needs more work.
- New skins. Some of them look like they belong on the other side. This was incredibly annoying as I had to check every single person using these skins to figure out if they were reb or imp. I don't remember the exact skins with this issue, but the one for BH (with jedi outcast prisoner face) was by far the biggest offender. Fix please, very annoying!
- Manda rocket nerfs. Here's my problem with it - I understand and support the idea of nerfing it, but not THIS MUCH. Baseline timer increase + damage stagger + jetpack timer increase is going WAY overboard. It feels a bit shitty now so I hope you can revert one or two of these nerfs back.
- ARC M5 buff - unnecessary and in fact harmful. ARC has received more than enough buffs this patch, so I'd revert this one. Please remember why it was nerfed in the first place - to punish the idiotic playstyle of jumping around and spamming snipes on anything that moves without a care in the world. This change brings this shit back in its full glory. Please revert!
- A280 nerfs - ok, this one actually makes me kinda worked up. Who thought this would be a good idea? This gun literally makes or breaks ET, and it has been a staple of skill check for many many years. Yes, I understand that new dodge has made it a bit broken, but this is a dodge issue, not a280 issue. Please remove dodge from this game and leave A280 alone. This gun is a classic that doesn't deserve any nerfs to it.

THE NEUTRAL:
- Secondary nade nerf - I suppose this one was inevitable in one way or another. The new "conc" mode is fine and can be put to good use, but make no mistake, this is a very big nerf to any class with access to grenades and a significant indirect buff to saberists, as gunners can no longer immediately react to a rushing jedi/sith with a reliable knockdown. I'm kinda on the fence about it for now, but its probably a correct decision in the end.
- Proj buff - 5 damage huh? I was joking about it and it turned out to be true lol. We'll see how it does as I haven't tested it yet, but somehow I doubt its gonna push proj back into relevancy.
- Headshot multiplier reduction - not liking it very much to be honest. Headshots used to be very satisfying as you knew you were dealing massive damage, and I guess you still do, but not so much. Kinda eh, kinda meh, but I can live with it.
- T21 primary fire FP drain nerf - as I exclusively use T21 lvl1, this honestly sucks. I understand that this nerf was due to lvl3 being too strong, but it pains to see my lvl1 suffer because of it. Sad!

THE GOOD:
- SMOD menu - just a very nice feature that makes moderation a lot easier. Loving it!
- Dual pistols convergence - it's finally here. I do believe ARC pistols are a bit too strong right now because of this buff, but overall a massive QoL improvement for akimbo fans.
- Free dex for ARCs - very nice! HOWEVER, I do think that ARC is too strong right now and requires additional tweaking, namely the guns.
- Shorter cooldowns on melee moves - what's not to like here? More melee is always great, loving it!
- EE-3 buff - very nice! Primary fire was decent before, but now it's actually kinda sorta usable as a main firing mode. Good change.

This is all I've tested so far, so probably gonna leave more feedback later. A good update overall, but I do hope the devs look at the "BADs" I've listed above and at least consider doing something about them. Lini signing off.

-A280 was potentially the strongest most broken gun in the game if used correctly, it did have a skill ceiling i'll give you that. But coming from a big A280 user, it needed this change.
- Proj buff even with 5 damage change actually does bring it into relevancy, with now one shotting ET's and Clones with armor 2 as long as its in the chest
-ARC M5 buff is mostly just the reload time that was decreased, which was horrible before. And the sniper increase of damage is only by a literal 3 hp, I thought 5 hp meant nothing for proj so why does 3 mean so much for the m5? Bouncies were always far superior to M5 on most maps in the game, and I'd argue they definitely still are because now of convergence (which is great fun but a bit op IMO).
-T21 FP drains are honestly still insane IMO, I mean over 25 fp damage to a running jedi? That's honestly pretty nuts IMO, a T21 is likely the best gun against a jedi right now in regards to direct combat.
- For mando rocket, like you said it needed a nerf. I would recommend giving it more of a chance with these changes. A lot of it is just getting back the muscle memory of the new timing and such. The getting flinched mechanic while on paper might seem like far too much, really isn't in my opinion because in general it only hurts the mando's who jump out behind a corner head on against several gunners and expect to get a literal free kill with 15 points. As long as the Mando uses their brain and tactically uses their rocket from a decent position (such as farther away). They'll very likely be perfectly fine.
- For HS multiplier, I'm very surprised anyone thinks it being lowered is a bad thing, it was 3x, which is not normal in most games. A stray e11 shot coming from a new player could practically half your hp if it hit you in the head. I mean it's still 2.5x base damage which is quite insane still. Use a p3 and you still will 1 shot most classes in the game.

A280 was potentially the strongest most broken gun in the game if used correctly, it did have a skill ceiling i'll give you that. But coming from a big A280 user, it needed this change

Is there a problem with ET having a very good gun? It is otherwise a very mediocre class (not talking about dodge here as its cancer and needs to go) that was picked specifically for its gun before the broken dodge was a thing

ARC M5 buff is mostly just the reload time that was decreased, which was horrible before. And the sniper increase of damage is only by a literal 3 hp, I thought 5 hp meant nothing for proj so why does 3 mean so much for the m5?

Because it promotes mindless spamming. More ammo in the mag and faster reload means ARCs aren't punished for missing their snipes. Which results in extremely stupid looking behavior where people just jump around and spam snipes with their brains turned off. This is exactly why mag size and snipe count was nerfed before

The getting flinched mechanic while on paper might seem like far too much, really isn't in my opinion

It isn't too much on its own, but combined with the 2 other nerfs it makes the rocket kinda poopy kinda sucky

 

[ZyDus]

Don't worry guys nade jumps still work, I made sure of it

actually no you cant do nice nade jumps anymore

 

[Kodar]

I would encourage people to play around with it more since mando rocket is still performing absurdly well per the usual. Also keep in mind that it was a mechanic with 0 limitations that is only just now getting something to give players a small chance of survival.
Try stopping a mando rocket with a P3 and report back if you like, as you will find that to be rather difficult to nigh impossible.

There's a problem with a 2 life class thay has dodge also having the single strongest gun in the game, yes.
I have yet to see someone who uses the A280 very often think this is a bad change because its genuinely broken. Especially with dodge, which yes I see that you don't like dodge. But its currently in the game, so you can't have dodge and have the previous iteration of A280 on the same class. It being a two lifer made it the strongest class in the game, and I still think it is at worst on par with clone, but more likely than not surpasses it because of dodge.

The two other Mando rocket nerfs are very very minimal, even when combined with the 3rd. A 200 ms increase is nothing, its just your years of playing mb2 that makes it feel weird because of the sound delay.

And the 1.5x on out of jetpack timer is a similar situation, I will concede that 1.5x is obviously noticeable, but thats the point. Having a 1.5x timer makes Mando rushing less viable, which was simply a brain dead play style for mandos that almost always resulted in a free kill or several unless a jedi was nearby. There was nothing a gunner could do unless they simply were lucky that the Mando using the rocket wasn't using their brain to actually aim it in the general vicinity of the gunners it was firing at with its aoe instant kill button. Having a 1.5x timer is needed even with the addition of flinch because having it be 1.0x simply isn't enough time to get the flinch off if the Mando fires the rocket mid air. Its was a very very unfair mechanic that should have been fixed a decade ago. This patch specifically seemed to target "i win buttons" such as corner camping sec naders on defense and I win button mandos who just fire a rocket when they're losing their gunfight.

I understand your argument for the M5 promoting spam now. But I disagree mostly, simply because it still is a fairly subpar sniper and is closer to a carbine in other games.
I would think its much more effective to "spam" something that does practically the same thing with a much larger hitbox (sees p3). That allows you to not only fire quickly, have a large clip, and near instant reload, fires a mini bus as a hitbox, and allows the user to dodge ontop of all of that. A couple p3 chest shots and most gunners are simply dead, no different than the new m5. The only unique thing about the m5 is the scope and the fact that you can do fairly predictable gymnastics while firing it on a limited stamina bar. Similar to a limited replenishing dodge meter, (that won't throw off ones aim because it's just strafing with dodge not flipping).

Again I recommend giving rocket a chance over the coming days because it genuinely is mostly nerfing just braindead play of rockets. And doesn't punish rockets that are used in a somewhat tactical manner.

 

[Liniyka_xddd]

you can't have dodge and have the previous iteration of A280 on the same class

That's why I'm arguing in favor of removing/reworking dodge and leaving a280 as it is. Rebs need more buffs and tools to push chokes, but dodge just ain't it because of how braindead it is

I would think its much more effective to "spam" something that does practically the same thing with a much larger hitbox (sees p3).

Speaking of braindead, how many braindead guns do we really want in this game? P3 is stupid, it really is, but so is westar m5 now. Me thinks it should either be left as it was, or changed in a way that actually promotes accuracy instead of blindfiring till your clip is empty. More damage on snipes but less mag capacity/max ammo? Better primary fire but more limited snipe mode? Maybe. But I really don't like this gun once again becoming a high damage spray n' pray machine

Regarding rockets, I still think that this nerf was too drastic. We'll see how it plays out of course, but the feeling of extreme jankiness when using it is there

I think the jankiness comes from playing the game for years TBH give it a couple weeks and it will feel more natural for sure.
I disagree about westsr m5 being op but maybe well just have to agree to disagree. Bouncy pistols are still much superior to m5. So I don't see much of a problem to buff one gun on a class that requires more points invested btw, to the level of a cheaper and better gun. P3 I expect will likely be changed in the future as its been talked about for years, probably in the form of a hitbox change if I were to guess. Other than that I don't see many more braindead guns in the game. Atleast m5 requires you to aim correctly. I hardly even use m5 because of how mu h better the pistols are so more variety isn't a bad thing to me.

But again, may have to just agree to disagree. I recommend giving it a few weeks and seeing if the opi ion of a few things changes, mainly the Mando rocket.

 

[Mr Happy Fridge]

- New fonts take way too much space and they look really off.

Regarding this, try these cmds, they were also part of this update. It fixes the stretched HUD issue on MBII Client.

Westar is probably not OP on its own, but ARC as a whole definitely is right now. Free dex + buffed m5 + omegabuffed pistols = fokin OP

 

[Preston]

Westar is probably not OP on its own, but ARC as a whole definitely is right now. Free dex + buffed m5 + omegabuffed pistols = fokin OP

I see your point, and it probably is a bit op now. Though m5 buff doesn't account much if at all for that simply because the pistols are better overall anyways, its just a superior gun. I'd always rather go against a arc with a m5 than bouncies, as long as they know how to use them that is.

Free dex is mainly to open up extra playstyles, I personally only get 1 "free" pulse nade with the change. And pulse nades got omeganerfed this patch, which you're excluding. So it isn't that big of a deal IMO, its just gives more mobility to all builds of arc, which is imo a good thing. Convergence is definitely strong though, ill give you that. Its gonna need some slight nerf eventually to pistol damage I think. The biggest offender is actually Mando westar with it though. Which may make some people happy since rocket was nerfed, fairly though.

Goooood, new update >B)

Great Darth Bane has virgin's Ani's voiceline?///// Devs pls have mercy /////

Very likely being caused by an addon pack, he uses his own soundset without any of them installed (aside from Peneke which got a patch the same day as release)

 

[Grub]

Very nice, I also love the changes to melee. You guys should make it to where you can choose the model of your guns like how you can choose a saber hilt for jedi.

 

[Bud]

- ARC M5 buff - unnecessary and in fact harmful. ARC has received more than enough buffs this patch, so I'd revert this one. Please remember why it was nerfed in the first place - to punish the idiotic playstyle of jumping around and spamming snipes on anything that moves without a care in the world. This change brings this shit back in its full glory. Please revert!

I think this change makes ARC trooper a lot more approachable, and it was obviously done to balance out the pulse nade nerf (as Preston said). Also, I found myself being able to take on arcs very easily as Soldier, which has a far easier gun to control (imo it's the best rifle in the game) than the M5.

 

[Arthas]

Looks like grip has a visual bug when its about to grip. Please fix this is asap.
