Weitere Infos zu den neuen Inhalten sowie die englischsprachigen Patch-Notes warten weiter unten auf euch:


Rückkehr in Jabbas Palast

Was passiert, wenn man einen Hutten nicht rechtzeitig bezahlt? Man endet als Dekorationsobjekt in seinem Thronsaal ... wie Han Solo am eigenen Leib erfahren hat. In diesem Monat können die Fans von Star Wars Battlefront in Star Wars Battlefront II im Rahmen der Han Solo-Season in Jabbas Palast zurückkehren In den Modi Gefecht, Helden-Showdown und Helden vs. Schurken können die Spieler ihre Differenzen in den Gängen und Hallen von Jabbas Bleibe bereinigen.

Die passende Kleidung

Wir finden, wenn wir dich schon nach Tatooine schicken, musst du dich entsprechend einkleiden können. Hol dir neue Outfits (gegen Kredits oder Kristalle), die auf der Eröffnungsszene von Star Wars™: Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter™ basieren, in der sich Lando Calrissian als Skiff-Wache verkleidet und Leia Organa als Kopfgeldjäger Boushh auftritt. Außerdem gibt es eine brandneue Sprachausgabe!

Neuer Modus – Helden-Showdown

Han Solo ist nur selten ohne den mächtigen Chewbacca an seiner Seite anzutreffen, und im Helden-Showdown – einem neuen rundenbasierten Eliminierungsmodus der Han Solo-Season – kannst mit deinen Lieblingsduos in Helden vs. Schurken in packenden 2-gegen-2-Schlachten antreten. Han Solo und Chewbacca gegen Boba Fett und Bossk? Yoda und Rey gegen Darth Vader und Captain Phasma? Du hast die Wahl, aber sobald eine Runde gewonnen ist, musst du für die nächste Runde ein anderes Duo auswählen. In diesem Modus musst du einfallsreich und taktisch vorgehen.

Feile in Eigenen Arcade-Spielen für Sternenjäger an deinen Fähigkeiten als Pilot

Von wegen gemütlicher Ausflug. Die Spieler wollten es so, und wir freuen uns,Star Wars Battlefront II Eigene Arcade-Spiele für Sternenjäger hinzufügen zu können. Feile im Cockpit von Sternenjägern aller Epochen an deinen Fähigkeiten, egal, ob du die X-Flügler der Rebellion mit deinem TIE/IF-Jäger in Sternenstaub verwandelst, oder mit dem Millennium Falken feindliche Sternenjäger umkreist.

Patch-Notes

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
