Am 15. Mai wurde das Han Solo Season Update für Star Wars: Battlefront II veröffentlicht.
Nachfolgend findet ihr die kompletten Patchnotes:
Alles anzeigenHi everyone,
Welcome to the start of the ""Han Solo Season""! To start things off we're focusing on those closest to Han. Both friend and foe.
In this update we revisit the iconic location of Jabba's Palace. inside Jabba's Palace were some of Han's friends in some of the most unique unique appearances in the Star Wars universe. Specifically Lando Calrissian in a Skiff Guard appearance and, as our first legendary Appearance, Leia Organa disguised as the bounty hunter Boussh – complete with the scrambled voice!
We’re also introducing a new permanent game mode where players will play as two Heroes against two Villains, where the winning team needs to change up their strategy to continue winning. We call it Hero Showdown!
On top of a new multiplayer mode, we have something for Arcade fans and fans of starfighter combat in general - Custom Arcade now has a mode for Starfighters! This provides the chance to try out the various starfighters whenever you want.
Lastly, we've introduced a few other improvements that we hope you enjoy; including the ability to Upgrade and Unlock Star Cards in the pre-round phase of a match and the addition of lore text to all of the Appearances!
As always we've squashed some bugs and continued balancing the game. Read on to see what else we've tweaked and let us know your thoughts!
The Star Wars Battlefront II Team
HEROES AND VILLAINS
Captain Phasma
Captain Phasma's STAFF STRIKES should be easier to hit and chain to an enemy. Since it's easier to connect now, we needed to remove some advantages on the two first strikes. We will still be keeping the incentive to land all 3 strikes as each strike is more powerful than the previous one. We'll monitor if it feels strong enough, but Captain Phasma should be much more enjoyable to play.
- Added the closing functionality to all Phasma's staff strikes
- Reduced the damage of the first strike from 150 to 120
- Removing the push effect on the two first attacks
- Captain Phasma's FIRST ORDER SENTRY DROID now progressively self-repairs after 6 seconds of not taking damage, instead of instantly repairing
Luke Skywalker
Lightsaber Attacks
Luke did not feel as in control of his lightsaber as he should since he has slightly slower swings than some other lightsaber users. We'll look at improving the damage if the current buff doesn't prove to be enough for him but we'd like to see the results of these changes.
- Reduced the cost of melee for Luke increasing his max amount of swings from full stamina from 8 to 10
Push
This is the first change to add different damage values for Heroes and other Units. It felt like Luke was the perfect Character to start with as both Push and Repulse were very weak against non-Hero enemies. The base damage of both abilities still needed to be improved for combat against opposing Heroes.
- Added non-Hero specific damage to Luke's PUSH at 150
- Increased PUSH damage to Heroes from 65 to 90
- Added Non-Hero specific damage to REPULSE at 130
- Increased REPULSE damage to Heroes from 50 to 75
Dash
- Players can now move a few frames earlier after using the Dash ability
Leia Organa
Defender Alt-Fire
The Defender Pistol Alt-fire was too damaging for the short charge up time and getting hit by it from afar was very frustrating. This is a first pass on balancing; we'll see how it changes her efficiency as we'd still like her to be a great ranged defensive character.
- Reduced the Defender Alt-fire damage from 175 to 145
- Reduced Leia's Defender Alt-fire explosion radius from 2 to 1 meters
- Reduced Leia's Defender Alt-fire targeting angle from 3.5 to 2 degrees
- Corrected text on Leia's "Relentless Firing" Star Card that referred to bullets instead of blaster bolts
- Leia now receives the proper amount of health from the "For the Rebellion" Star Card
- Fixed an issue when the Defender didn't play the fire animation as it fired
Emperor Palpatine
Health Regeneration
Palpatine's sustainability was way too high with both his health regeneration and the Lightning Absorbtion Star Card. His health regeneration was higher than melee characters and for a range character (even if closer than blaster users) that let him not care much about taking damage.
- Reduced health regeneration from 300 to 250
Lightning Absorption Star Card
The health regeneration on the Lightning Absorbtion Star Card was too high. especially when hitting grouped-up troopers. With this change we want Emperor Palpatine players to care more about their positioning and rely less on easy regeneration.
- Reduced amount of health regenerated by the Lightning Absorption Star Card by 5 on all rarities
Dual Hand Lightning
Dual hand lightning had the same angle as the single hand one and it was way too easy to deal heavy damage on enemies without having to target them.
- Reduced the targeting angle from dual hand lightning from 14 to 10
Lando Calrissian
X8-NIGHT SNIPER
Pulling the trigger on the X8 was quite high for a light pistol, we reduced it to give the weapon a lighter feel on consoles.
- Reduced weight to pull the trigger of the X8-Night sniper from 70% to 50%
Han Solo
- Han Solo can no longer throw multiple Detonite Charges while being hit by a lightsaber
Iden Versio
- The Shield Sustain Star Card now activates for the proper amount of time
- Sound properly plays when dodging again
Lightsaber Heroes
Lightsaber Air Attacks
- Fixed an issue where lightsaber wielding heroes could damage a deflecting hero by attacking while airborne.
- Now lightsaber heroes get staggered when attacking a deflecting character while airborne.
Lightsaber Damage
With the short damage delay, lightsaber attacks felt better for the attacker but not for the player receiving the damage. We've increased that delay slightly in an attempt to get the best result for both players.
- Increased lightsaber damage delay from 0.06 to 0.09 seconds
CLASSES, SPECIAL UNITS, & VEHICLES
Dodge
We're aware of the stuns locks from lightsabers and we wanted to make the dodge stronger without making it as strong as it was before.
With this change, we are first unifying the dodges. Some characters, like Yoda, didn't have the same speed and distance for their dodge and that put them at a high disadvantage. All of the dodges for force users are now similar and all dodges for blaster users are the same.
The second part was to get away from stuns locks. To that effect, you are now unstaggerable and immune to melee damage from the start of the dodge (It was a few frames in from before). This is a shorter time than it was on release (it was the whole animation back then) but still enough to feel that you can avoid being damaged.
Please feedback on this change as we're hoping it will improve the fighting experience while not lowering the lightsaber efficiency too much.
- Unified dodge lengths among Force using characters to 5.5 meters
- Unified dodge lengths among blaster wielding characters (Including Troopers) to 4.75 meters
- Dodge now makes characters unstaggerable from the first frame and for a longer time.
- Dodge now makes characters immune to Lightsaber, melee, or Phasma's Staff Strikes damage while unstaggerable (first frames of the animation)
Stagger
There was a few frames in the animation that felt static and where it felt like the characters could start moving. As such we’ve allowed movement and dodge earlier in the staggered animation after hitting a blocking lightsaber.
Flame Trooper
- Fixed a visual issue with how the Flame Trooper's Flame Grenade was exploding
- Using the FORTIFY ability will no longer disable idle animations
AT-ST
- Fixed an issue with the AT-ST having their lights on even when it was sunny
