Star Wars Battlefront II Release Notes - Totale Vorherrschaft Hotfix

In diesem Hotfix wurden einige Änderungen vorgenommen, die sich mit der Stabilität des Spiels befassen. Eines der größten Probleme auf das man sich konzentriert hatte war, wenn ihr euch auf dem Bereitstellungsbildschirm innerhalb der zweiten Phase des Übergangs von Totale Vorherrschaft befandet.

Es wurden einige Stabilisierungen hinzugefügt, welche, dass Risiko solcher Ereignisse verringern sollten. Die Situation wird allerdings weiter beobachtet

Die KI in Totale Vorherrschaft ist ein brandneues System und befindet sich online oder serverseitig. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass einige der Abstürze dadurch verursacht wurden. Aufgrund dessen wurden einige Korrekturen hinzugefügt, welche dies beheben sollten.

Nur eine Anmerkung zu den KI-Spielern (Autobots). Der aktuelle Plan sieht vor das Hotfix, nachdem es live ging, 24 Stunden lang auf Stabilität zu prüfen. Man wird sehen ob und wie man die KI wieder in den Spielmodus zurückbringen kann.

Anakin Skywalker bekam ein kleines Balancing, welches den Schaden und die Abklingzeiten seiner Fähigkeiten beeinflusst. Man hatte das Gefühl, dass er, obwohl er der Auserwählte ist, einige kleine Änderungen bräuchte, um Gleichgewicht zu bringen bzw. es zu halten.

Die Infiltrator-Verstärkungen wurden wirklich gut aufgenommen und es wurden einige Optimierungen aufgrund des Community Feedbacks vorgenommen. Der Power Blast Schaden wurde leicht verringert und gleichzeitig der Endschaden der E-5 erhöht.

• Reduced Passionate Strike last damage (150->130)
• Increased Passionate Strike cooldown (12->13)
• Reduced Heroic Might base damage (100->70)
• Balanced damage values for Infiltrator weapons:
• Lowered Power Blast damage (150->140) to prevent One-Hit Kills against Assault, Officer & Specialist
• Raised E-5 end damage (21->30) to increase the weapon's effective range
• Fixed an issue where players who join an ongoing match would occasionally get no audio during the boarding cinematic in Capital Supremacy.
• Fixed an issue that would prevent the ARC Trooper from gaining progress when playing on Phase 1 maps (Kamino and Geonosis - Trippa Hive).
• Fixed an issue where Darth Maul’s Choke Hold ability would occasionally be inaccurately activated from a distance when being used at the same time as another Hero's ability.
• Fixed an issue that prevented players from completing the Scoped achievement when playing as a Specialist, when fulfilling the criteria against AI on Capital Supremacy.
• Fixed an issue where Rey and Finn’s ability UI for the Insight and Undercover abilities would not always be fully visible.
• Revised the ping color of the ARC Trooper’s Helmet Scanner ability for consistency.

• Attacker: You will see a new icon appear on the enemy in question with each hit that you do
• Attacker: The enemy in question will display a miniature version of that icon to the left of their name for as long as they have damage reduction

• If Finn has his Big Deal health bonus active and Yoda applies his Presence health bonus to Finn, Yoda's health bonus will be ignored.
• If Finn has Yoda's Presence health bonus active and activates Big Deal, Yoda's Presence health bonus will be removed and Big Deal will be applied.
• If Yoda has Finn's Big Deal health bonus active and activates Presence, Finn's Big Deal health bonus will be removed and Presence will be applied. This was a huge balance feedback and frustration especially in big game modes. it should lower the impact of bonus health when both heroes are present.

YODA
Reduced Yoda's health bonus from the Presence ability

• Base health bonus on troopers reduced from 100 to 70 points
• Base health bonus on Heroes and Yoda reduced from 200 to 150 points
• Reduced the delay until health starts depleting from 10 to 8 seconds. Yoda's Presence was the strongest bonus health in the game by far. We're trying to reduce its impact on big game modes.
• Yoda's Dash Attack damage has been reduced from 130 to 85 points. The dash attack while breaking block also dealt a lot of damage. We're adjusting it to have a damage level that takes the block breaking into account.

• Fixed an issue where Yoda's camera would be lowered when pressing the crouch button.
