Patch Notes

Patch NOTES FOR [8:15AM EST] 2/28/2021

+ ForceLightning 1 & 2 has had another small damage buff
+ All CreaturePets have had their PVP damage reduction values reduced from 65% -> 25% since they actually have armor & hp now
+ All CreaturePets have had their PVE damage reduction values removed (see above)
– These passive mitigations were in place prior to the BE pet revamp as pets had no defenses before…now they do
+ Poison and Disease resistance buffs/tapes now reduce NPC applied dot duration (capped at 75%)
+ Pets are free + easy ways to apply dots, compared to Combat Medics, so their dot mechanics are now affected by more defensive mechanics.
– NPCs were applying dots with unmitigated damage making them extremely difficult to balance, this has changed
– Also, pets actually do decent damage now which was compounding the issue of balancing dots possible from them
+ Pet damage in PVP raised from 33% -> 45%, will keep an eye on this now that dots are more easily controllable
+ Cleaned up some chance values for NamedCrystals to not cause calculation errs
+ Added some sanity checks and isNull checks on adjustPetLevel (most likely a culprit in recent Deadlocks and memalloc errs)
+ Added some sanity checks, null checks, etc, on some consumables “Fill” code that fills in information when examining consumables
– This caused a Segfault in the past so hopefully this fixes that particular issue
+ Novice Marksman now gains the cert for Bowcaster Rifles
+ Bowcaster Rifle changed from AP:NONE -> AP:HEAVY (it’s a damn bowcaster!)
+ Bowcaster Rifle has been rebalanced to be a slightly less raw dmg than a T21, but much higher Wound Chance
+ The “Experimental Components” loot group has had its components loot chances rebalanced
+ The item “Experimental Sword Cores” have been improved by 25%
+ Force Crystal Hunter containers have had a small reduction in # of color crystals that they contain
+ Force Crystal Hunter containers loot respawn timer changed from 10minutes -> 15minutes
+ HiggJibb has been tuned upwards slightly
+ Krayt Dragon Queen’s CL raised from 350 -> 450
+ The Science outpost on Dathomir has detected an unusual unidentified energy burst near the Rancor Cave on Dathomir, beware!
+ AxkvaMin’s respawn timer changed from 24hours -> a random respawn between 40 to 76 minutes
+ Acklay’s CL changed from 350 -> 450
+ Acklay’s respawn timer changed from 24hours -> a random respawn between 40 to 76 minutes
+ Fixed SalesTax breaking payouts to Sellers when selling items on a merchant in a City with said SalesTax applied
+ Fixed creatureAreaPoison applying incorrect dot type [BAS-fix merge]
+ Pet applied Dots are no longer using “Unmitigated” damage to apply their dots (required deep-dive investigation of code)
– Previously, dots applied by pets were not being calculated based on their actual damage, but unmitigated damage. Not intended!
+ Changed the Padawan box Force Regen bonus from 6 -> 11, this corrects a previous error when moving robe bonuses to jedi boxes
+ …but was incorrectly set to 6 instead of the correct value of 11
+ FRS has been unlocked for Jedi to gain starter bonuses from (you’ll want to run /regrantskills when you log in btw)
+ FRS classic progression is disabled as the new alternative progression system will come with GCW progression system
+ FRS classic boxes will be auto-granted, similar to “Force Progression” boxes, the more a FRS Jedi progresses in the alternative new system
+ FRS classic boxes have had their bonuses balanced and smoothed in a more linear fashion
+ FRS classic boxes, between light and dark, should now give the same bonuses between the two
+ FRS bonuses, such as “Manipulation”, now affect and do similar things for the same powers
+ (Dark Bonuses no longer do more for powers dmg, Light Bonuses no longer do more for healing, etc)
+ Removed PlayerCap per FRS rank
+ Set classical progression requirements to impossible amounts (999k) as alternative method will replace this
+ Removed the rank requirements for various rooms in each Enclave (an FRS novice can go into every room now)
+ Removed FRS maintenance costs
+ FRS Jedi no longer gain, or lose, FRS Experience, it is being replaced with generic GCW Experience gains (easier to balance with normies)
+ ————————
+ NOTE: Moving forward, think of FRS rank boxes as an indication of how much GCW Points someone has, and how much they’ve invested into the new FRS/GCW system
+ … you can think of it as a DAOC RealmPoint-lite system
+ ————————
+ Custom FRS-Check method written to re-grant Jedi Knight to those who had already completed that caused a limbo state of being a knight but not actually being a knight
– This is to correct an issue where a Jedi has completed their Trials but is now in a limbo state of having completed their trials already but are not considered a Knight by the server
– This check is run automatically when a Jedi logs in who has completed the trials but is missing their FRS novice box
+ ————————
+ GCW Experience has been perminantly registered in the game’s files, and capped at 900k, you should no longer be capped at 2000 or lose said experience when the server restarts!
+ ————————

+ BE, when DNA sampling, now receive 3 copies of a successful sample, ALL the experimentation and BE fun!!!

+ FSBuff Crystals from the Village quests have been combined, you now have a choice between HAM pool buffs or 3-Mind pool buffs for 1 hour

– More of these will happen across the game to enable BE/CH pet creation

Jedi FS Conversion lowered from 30:1 to 15:1
SquadLeader FS Conversion lowered from 90:1 to 30:1
Jedi that force LinkDead while swimming to avoid dying in PVP/BHing now lose SaberBlock functionality while LD (anti-cheese mechanic)
Initial Implementations of Crafted BH Armor complete, still not introduced as a reward yet for BH
Initial Implementations of Mandalorian Armor complete, still not introduced as a reward yet for BH
Jedi, M.Enhancer, is no longer immune to having FR2/3 stripped
Jedi, when FR2/3 is stripped from them, now lose 200 more force if being stripped without Master Enhancer box
Jedi, now become more efficient with ForceArmor & ForceShield the more you invest into Enhancer boxes (similar to Healer changes)
BH now gain a new skillmod called “Keen Eye” from their ranged, and master, boxes.
“Keen Eye” is only active when fighting a target that a BH has a BH mission for (aka: does not work in normal PVP)
“Keen Eye” reduces the total SaberBlock of your target by the % that you have of KeenEye (aka: 10 Keen Eye == 10% SB reduction)
“Keen Eye” caps at 15 with Master BH
Players can now see what kind of slice was performed on a weapon
Players can now see how much of a slice was performed on a weapon
Jedi exp loss reduced significantly as the server uses default BAS’s award system so the exp bonus was affecting loss
Players can now use the command “/village” to see the current phase, how much time is left in the current phase, and what time the phase will change
Jedi can now only be hunted by a certain number of BH at a given time based on their FRS rank.
If a Jedi is not in the FRS they can only be hunted by 1 BH at a time.
Jedi Knights will start at 2 at a time, and scale upwards.
This is a custom system unique to Carbonite, and does not affect the # of missions that can be pulled for the same Jedi.
Unlimited # of BH can still pull the same Jedi’s mission, but only ‘x’ number of BH can engage a Jedi at the same time!
When a Jedi defeats a BH the Jedi now receives a recording of the BH’s death (future reward currency for Jedi)
The WorldBoss “Ice Field” mechanic has had its damage increased slightly
The WorldBoss “Poison Cloud” mechanic has had its damage increased slightly
These mechanics are more threatening now, bring medics/doctors/healers now 🙂
All Lunge2 melee abilities from MasterBrawler can now Strip FR2/3 from a Jedi (20m range)
The same rules apply from OverChargeShot2, except for the range being shorter (obviously :])
Jedi, made with Special Races, should now be able to use SelfBuff Packs after using `/regrantskills`

Patch NOTES FOR [5:30PM EST] 1/18/2021

All vibro-unit based schematics for Polearms have had some of their vibro units split to individual groups
This means instead of multiple units “averaging” out they now stack their benefits ontop of each other
This is a large buff, and will be monitord for balancing as time goes on….Polearms are dangerous now
Fencer Vibro-Knife schematic had a similar treatment to Polearms
Vibro Axe schematic had a similar treatment to Polearms
Jedi EXP changed from 0.2 -> 0.3 to bring total raw exp up from 0.8 -> 1.2 of normal exp
In Comparison “Normies” are sitting at 400% (4.0) before group and musician buffs
Jedi still lose significant exp when killed by a BH
OverChargeShot2 now strips FR2/FR3 every 15 seconds instead of every 30

Some lower level carbines had a power-handler added to smooth out their damage scaling to be competitive with other lower-level crafted weapons
Carbines have had a flat +15% upper-limit on experimentation for their damage profile (ex: max damage for a Laser Carbine had its ceiling raised from 240 -> 276 when experimenting)
Players now take excessive extra damage when wearing armor with ANY Jedi skill boxes invested (anti-Hybrid implementation)
JediToughness no longer functions with any form of normal profession toughness (anti-Hybrid implementation)
Intim-1 and Intim-2 can no longer be used if any Jedi skill boxes are invested

ForceIntimidate1 ForceCost moved from 300 -> 100
ForceIntimidate2 ForceCost moved from 500 -> 250
ForcePowers, that cause damage, now have a bonus derived from the Average damage of their lightsaber
Choke/Mindblast/ForceThrow etc gain a small damage bonus from the Jedi’s sabers
ForceLightningSingle, and Cone, attacks gain a large bonus from the Jedi’s average saber damage
ForcePowers have had a large reduction in ForceCost in both PVE and PVP, many will be rebalanced to more dynamic forceCosts at a later time
The damage that powers does in PVE has been buffed higher than normal to balance how much force is used in return
Powers will be looked at for quite some time as we tune up/down, expect it to not be great this pass around but it is improved!
ExarKun has had another lootpass done to bridge the gap between now and his refactor being done by G-Star
BountyHunting Debuff timer reduced from 12hours to 30minutes (how long before a Jedi can be on terminals again)
BountyHunting full-payout cooldown changed from 3 days to 3hours (how long before a player can be worth the full amount again)

Jedi Saber1hComboHit2 and 3 have had their weak posture_down removed to make the ability useable in normal application
Jedi Saber2hSweep2 has had its PostureDown removed to allow it to become an “AOE” for 2handed sabers
Jedi Saber2hSweep3 keeps its PostureDown
Jedi Saber2hSweep2 has had its damage matched to Saber2hSweep3, this should give Saber2h a similar competitive edge to 1h and Polearms

Jedi, Master Enhancer, new ability: `Form II: Makashi`, empowers the Jedi’s attacks to intimidate their target for a short duration on damage dealt
Jedi, Master Defender, new ability: `Form III: Soresu`, allows a Jedi to reactively intimidate their attacker when damage is taken for a short duration
Both new abilities are in their respective Master boxes
Both new abilities cost 300 force, and last for 5 minutes
These abilities do NOT bypass the innate immunity droid’s have to being intimidated
Jedi, Master Healer, has a new passive skill modifier “Force Healing Efficiency” that increases efficiency and power of healing by 1% per point

TotalHealOther is now slightly base-more efficient

BH tracking droids are less faulty
BH tracking droids update their tracked target more often
BH now have more possible tracks per droid due to faster update cycles
BH Player Jedi mission payouts buffed by 50%, and minimums upped slightly
BH Mission Difficulty for Player missions will default to 1000, this doesn’t mean a higher payout, but will eventually be used as the baseline for telling a BH how strong their opponent actually is
Example: A difficulty level of 1000 == padawan, and every +50 is an invested FRS box, a freshly unlocked Knight with 0 boxes == 1050, and +50 from there on up, eventually!
Harvesting Modules for Droids are now “On” by default when calling a droid
WorldBosses have had a large amount of work done to them and their code
WorldBosses have finally had some of their mechanics implemented
Some world bosses had their raw damage reduced in favor of new mechanics
Acklay and Rancor WorldBosses have not been given custom mechanics in favor of keeping raw difficulty with their attack types
Acklay and Rancor WorldBosses have been rescaled via changing some of their attack move types (no hp or dmg tuning has been done)
WorldBosses should now be more difficult to multibox, this was done in favor of not implementing a TEF so PVE content doesn’t become gated behind PVP for non-Pvpers
PVP based ‘PVE’ content is planned for future implementation but only as an alternative/addition to, and not a replacement for, normal PVE content
Village, Phase4, Thresholds for various raid wave sizes increased based on number of players in the village, Phase4 should be slightly less deadly

Jedi Padawan Rank box now contains healEnhance for Self-Buff pack usage
DWB has had a loot pass, this should be considered the groundwork for future loot passes

DWB’s first loot pass should simply be considered “several times better than BAS”, but not “great”
Sith Shadow Thugs are a LOT less durable now
Sith Shadow Mercenaries are a LOT less durable now

The “Mind Buff” Crystal from the Village is now more valuable
The “Mind Buff” Crystal is now Mind+Focus+Will
However, it shares a cooldown with the ForceBuffCrystal that does HAM across the board, pick one to use!
Attachments have had an extension to their code which allows for custom attachment loot groups now
A custom lootgroup specifically for Jedi Tapes have been created, and will now drop from high-end ForceSensitive mobs (jedi adepts, knights, masters, higgjibb, exarkun, etc)

Technically this wasn’t 100% ready to begin with and was planned to be efforted on soon, sorry for the confusion!
Jedi EXP can be turned in for every type of Village XP, but at difficult rates!
Crafting FS conversion ratio has been drastically buffed across the board
Cleaned up WorldBoss screenplay, made it more efficient, and cleaned up memory leaks
Added more dynamic variables for WorldBoss debugging to make further development easier

All other armor pieces are now cosmetic in nature

All armor now uses composite layers, might change that to “Any” layer pre-launch. NEED FEEDBACK!
All wearables can now have their Pallete’s changed while in your inventory

==[ Food Revamp ]==
Filling digestions time reduced from 30minutes to 15minutes

Foods/Drinks had another balance pass due to the Squash pass
Foods/Drinks grouped into “like” effects
More food types, variations, and combinations are now possible for PVE/PVP scenarios
Mix and match, figure out a new meta!
Core goal was to rebalance foods in a new way, and to reduce # of individual buffs on a player
Reduction of buff count on a player means less load on server per player object
Prior to “Food/Drink Squash” a player could easily hit 70+ buffs individually being tracked by the server (duration, effects, etc)
Fixed Barrels, now they appropriately increase Quantity count of drinks by a resource-driven amount (x2 of Cask, or x6 of base quantity)
