v2.0.0 Patch Notes

GENERAL PLAYER UI / UX
  • Game will no longer auto lock squads when a party member reserves a squad for their party to join, instead, a non party member will be forced change squad (with their role) if the reserved party squad is full while a party member is joining to server.
  • Improved detection for targeting downed players to bandage/revive.
  • A bug where player's armors & body does not sync when player is standing still and client loads their object for first time until they move - fixed.
  • When a player shoots at a mine/C4/claymore, the shooter will take ownership for the explosion, as if they owned the mine/C4/claymore. Previously, ownership remained with the person who deployed the mine, even when someone else shot at it. This led to instances where shooting a friend's claymore/mine would kill them.
  • Players will no longer be allowed to place mine/claymore under water


PROGRESSION/XP IMPROVEMENTS
  • Progression curve will ease after level 15 to keep consistent time to level up.
    - This is intended to decrease the time commitment and XP required to reach level 200 on average.
  • Empty transport/boat vehicles will no longer give points when destroyed.
  • XP Score Event added: Destroying enemy c4/mine/claymore will give a hitmarker and additional XP


CLANS
  • Clan submissions will open with requirements of minimum Prestige 1.
  • Used clan invites persisting once used from clan invite list has been fixed.
  • The issue where the 100 clan invite limitation included expired invites has been fixed.


UNIVERSAL HEALING
  • After a long discussion, it's apparent that the medic is the only class capable of enduring more than one fight. Other classes cannot survive a second fight after being shot. Consequently, making other classes very unpleasant to use, in response, the following change has been implemented:

  • Bandages
    now apply self-heal, even when bleeding, gaining +40 HP for each bandage used. This applies to all classes.

    - You
    cannot
    heal other players by bandaging, it remains the same as before, you can only stop bleeding or revive, but it will not heal them, only the
    Medic
    can heal
    OTHER
    players with their
    Medkit Gadget
    .


CLASS ADJUSTMENTS
  • ASSAULT
    - Access to Ranger Armors.

    Tank: 1,600xp
    Helicopter: 1,600xp
    Boat: 400xp

I'm not sure that I like the healing changes at all. I really don't want this game turning into Apex where people survive 900 fights.

The XP changes are nice, since a lot of the better guns are locked behind levels and the newbie experience kinda sucks.

I agree but you still only get a few bandages if you aren't medic.

It's definitely not apex, its a nice QoL.. I think the only "negative" feature is the fact that people are less likely to res, but it puts assault and supp as something a bit more viable since they have some sustainability with extra steps.. but to effectively med with bandages you have to leave the fight, and even then you're only healing at most 50 to 75hp after one bandage. Prolongs your ability to fight, but doesn't particularly reset it.

Battlebit is the best "large-scale" shooter since BF: Bad Company 2 and it isn't even close. It may even be the best shooter period since then. Hell Let Loose is a close second, but that game can get lopsided and spiral really fucking quickly.

Invasion launched or BF1 operations yesterday. I was hoping for a more Squad RAAS type feel/mode, but whatever. It's not a bad mode, but due to the influx of newbies it's an absolute shitshow right now and it's hard to find Conquest servers.

That being said, veterans are just steamrolling everyone right now.

9 player squads if you FoH generals want to team up and teabag some nubs like the glory days.

I like it but couldn’t get into it. I probably need to play more with Heko and the guys.

New patch is kinda shit. All people play is invasion, which would be great if they would actually defend or not zerg. Instead it's just chaos and people coming at you from every direction, and if you're like my crew we typically try to defend back caps/attack enemy back caps. Which means our small group gets steamrolled by the zerg.

But we chew up a lot in the process.
