As has been said before, we've been working on a patch for the current build.
We decided to do a patch because version 0 still feels slightly distant since some further refinement is needed.
Instead of the patch simply being a few bugfixes and balancing, we decided to throw in some additional flavour.
Soldier will be receiving concussion grenades.
Throw it like any normal grenade, but the longer you hold it in your hand, the shorter the fuse will be.
Careful, as they might explode in your hand! The explosion isn't as powerful as a regular frag grenade and as a Jedi or Sith you can shrug off some of the damage by blocking.
You can have a maximum of two per life and they'll cost 15 points each.
ARCs now can become even more acrobatic. With dexterity 3 you will be able to wallrun and do a few flips off walls.
This is extremely handy when used with dual pistols since you can do some cool surprising flip attacks out of cover and into the enemy's face.
Saberfights are now more clear and controllable. The ability of perfect blocking is again a lot easier.
Perfect blocking means when you move your saber to the enemy's attack and block it. The bonus for this is 0 bp loss.
This will bring some more skill elements back in to the duels. Manual blocking will have a boosted perfect block range.
The new Droideka is peeking out it's head. For now it's just the new model for added sex appeal, but I think it's safe to say you should be expecting some pretty fun additions in v1.
A few maps have also received some attention.
Here is a video of what has been done to Enclave.
Here is the
changelog.
The Simple Anti-Cheat (SAC) will not be released together with RC3 P4. However, it will be available as an optional download. You will need it to join any SAC secured server.
We hope this will ease the wait for v0 a bit
