Chapter 1.3 Testing

[Tyclo]

April 30th, 2020

House Packup:
The worst kept secret on the Test Server.

• Players may pack up structures they own via the "Pack Up Structure" option on the Structure Management Terminal or via the /packup command.
• Packing up a structure will send it to your datapad.

  • You may only pack up structure which you own.
  • You may not pack up Civic Structures such as banks, bazaars, shuttles, city halls or gardens.

  • You cannot trade packed up structures.
  • You may only unpack a structure once every 60 seconds.

Sweet on the house pack ups!

Heal All Other 2:

Also still wondering about the pikeman changes

Pikeman:
Polearm Hit 3:
Increased damage multiplier to 3.0 from 2.5.
Polearm Area Attack 3:
Increased damage multiplier to 4.5 from 4.0.
Polearm Leg Hit 3:
Increased damage multiplier to 3.25 from 2.5.
Polearm Spin Attack 3:
Increased damage multiplier to 2.75 from 2.5.

There are no spin or area 3's and the mod for hit3 on live was 4x, was that 4.5x area3 increase meant for hit3 since there is no area3? I'd hate to see hit3 go to 3x from 4x? (granted i'm just looking back on the og forums for polearms to see why I thought it was already 4x)

[Sereya]

- Good change on the old man / sith timer! I think the 24h window was unnecessary. All the folks in the village right now will be happy

- I'm a little worried about the 3-->2 BH per mission change. Not because I want every jedi to get jumped by 3 BHs at once, but rather I'm concerned about how this might be utilized to protect friends' jedis. (I know there are strict rules against this now, but still).

[alancode]

Changing Saber block down to 80% again? What happened.

[Tyclo]

Heal All Other 2:
Lowered Heal Amount to 1000 from 1000.

Typo. Corrected to 1000 from 1500.

Polearm Area Attack 3:

Polearm Area Attack 3: Typo in the patch notes, corrected.

Damage Modifiers: Our numbers are based on SWGEmu's numbers, which they've painstakingly worked out to the base numbers we are adjusting from, including combat logs, packet captures, video evidence and more. Can you provide evidence of these numbers that you are supplying? Those modifiers sound too high.

We originally wanted to do 2 BHs in 1.2, but decided to up it to 3 due to these concerns. We've implemented other changes in 1.3, such as random FOB IDs instead of names, expiration and cooldown timers on BHs. These should help alleviate any potential for BH's holding their friends missions.

There's also the aforementioned rules and the galaxy wide messages on Bounty Kills which player's can use to report anyone abusing the system.

We've put a lot of work into allowing us to lower the BH's per missions to 2 and now think that the time is right to make the adjustment.

Changing Saber block down to 80% again? What happened.

This is the first time Saberblock has been at a base of 80%.

Pre-1.3 Numbers were:

• PvP 70% max, -20% stunned, -10% blinded
• PvE 85% max, -10% stunned, -5% blinded

1.3 numbers were: 85% max, -10% stunned, -10% blinded (PvP and PvE)
New numbers are: 80% max, -10% stunned, -10% blinded (PvP and PvE)

What happened?
We and other players tested Saber Block, upon feedback we made a change to improve balance.

Why would area2 get a bigger modifier then hit3, that makes no sense to me? I think they're swapped, what's the point of hit3 then? leghit3 is even bigger mod then hit3?

I was master pikes for a few weeks, just swapped out of it sunday or monday night to do some fencer stuff, area2 did about the same amount of damage as spin2 or slightly more, id use area2 when doing jantas

still no spinattack3

Looking over all of those, they seem to be typos on my behalf as I wrote then down out of order. Spin 3 is also meant to be 2.

Nice! I was just worried that the ingame mods would reflect what was written here in case of a copy pasta

I love pikes, can't wait for 1.3
