### General Changes

* Added RGB Sabers for both Sith (colors around red) and Jedi (colors around anything but red).
* Decreased FP drain cooldown from 200 ms to 50 ms. Gameplay-wise this means projectiles deflected in quick succession will now all drain FP.
* Fixed force lightning's FP drain rate being dependent on server frame rate.
* Force Speed's point costs changed from 6/4/2 to 2/4/6.
* Increased Force Sense level 1's FP cost from 20 to 30.
* New: Pressing the reload key while performing a saber swing while it is in its middle state will cause it to bounce back. This will not work with saber special moves.
* Passive deflecting while walking is now as accurate as when blocking.
* Reduced Force Repulse's FP cost from 60 to 50.
* Removed Jedi/Sith damage reduction when they are attacking and not swingblocking. This replaces the 0.8 multiplier previously applied.

### Sabering Changes

* Added directional staggers in situations involving directional saber swings.
* Being hit while running now drains less BP by a 0.75 multiplier when not attacking and a 0.85 multiplier when attacking (and being interrupted). This brings the drains closer to blocking for which they are a 0.55 multiplier when not attacking and 0.65 multiplier when attacking.
* Blue lunge and Purple stab moves now drain 35 FP instead of 25 FP.
* BP drains for jumping now only happen when using Force Jump or holding jump. No longer from simply being in the air with non-zero velocity.
* Dual saber front/back stab special now drain 35 FP instead of 25 FP..
* Fixed BP regeneration happening every second regardless of when the player has last entered a regenerating state (it now depends on that). Also, BP regeneration occurs every 0.5 second instead of every second.
* Fixed Staff's/Duals' forward butterfly ignoring the initial jump when performing it after having backflipped and holding jump.
* Gave Cyan old Q3's blue stance, Purple old Q3's yellow stance.
* Graphical effects are no longer correlated with sound effects for saber vs saber/body collisions. The clash gfx is played when a saber vs saber collision occurs, and the bodyhit gfx is played when a saber vs body collision occurs. But the clash sfx is played when a Perfect Block is scored, and the bodyhit sfx is played when a Bodyhit is scored.
* Green style's BP multiplier increased slightly.
* White style's AP multiplier decreased slightly (now equal to that of Yellow style).
* Increased Purple style's swing speed by a 1.25 multiplier.
* Saber special moves which deal knockback (Blue lunge, Red DFA and all stab moves) can now only hit once in a row; other special moves can hit up to three times in a row.
* Reintroduced staggers for stab moves (Staff/Blue backstab and Duals' stab moves) as well as backward moves (Yellow/Red/Cyan/Purple/Green).
* Removed the randomness on the number of swings doable in a chain: Yellow now has always 4, Cyan 6, Blue 8.
* Saber clashes no longer occur when the players aren't doing actual swings, including swing starting/ending animations.
* Saber nudging triggered by a saber reaching a player's body has been removed; but saber nudging triggered from being hit by a saber swing has not been removed.
* Saber special moves (blue lunge, Dual/Staff twirls, backstabs, etc.) now deal the same HP damage as their style's base swing HP damage.
* Stabdown moves no longer drain FP from their user.
* Style switching is prevented while doing a saber attack.
* Switching from melee to saber no longer automatically activates the saber, and also no longer impairs control over attacking or blocking, i.e. attacking or blocking will override the saber twirling animation.

### Specific Saber Changes

#### Saber Offense revamp

Saber Offense ability is replaced by 3 buyable abilities:

* Fast styles : Level 1 (14 pts) gives fast blue style. Level 2 (0 pts) replaces fast blue with cyan. Level 3 (14 pts) gives both.
* Medium styles : Level 1 (8 pts) gives yellow style. Level 2 (8 pts) replaces yellow with either duals or staff (to choose). Level 3 (8 pts) gives both yellow and either duals or staff.
* Strong styles : Level 1 (12 pts) gives red style. Level 2 (0 pts) replaces red with purple. Level 3 (12 pts) gives both.

#### Perfect block/MBlock disarm revamp

* Previously, perfect blocking occurred when sabers collided. Now, perfect blocking no longer depends on saber vs saber collision, and is done by aiming in a certain cone around the attacker's body, in the direction of the incoming swing. Additionally, if the attacker's body is located lower than the defender's, then the defender is going to have to aim lower than usual (usual being when both bodies are at the same height) in order to reach the right cones ; if the body is higher, the defender will have to aim higher. The effect of a perfect block is still only to negate all BP drain from the blocked swing. Perfect blocking can be performed with Saber Defense level 0.
* MBlock disarming can now only be done when perfect blocking, by "parrying" the incoming attack i.e. pressing attack while blocking. And it also requires to be moving in a certain direction with respect to that of the incoming swing : the same right-left direction as the swing, and the opposite forward-backward direction (for instance the right movement direction for a A+W swing will be A+S). The time window for a parry to be successful is 150 ms prior to a hit. A failed parry (or done in the air) will not drain any BP. There is a 1 second cooldown between performing two parries. A successful parry will have no effect if the opponent was swingblocking, and it will disarm him if he was not.

#### ACM revamp

* ACC stands for Attack Chain Count, and is the underlying variable from which ACM is calculated.
* ACM stands for Attack Chain Modifier, and corresponds to the glowing saber hilt colors in the HUD. Now every ACM point obtained gives an additional glow.

- Removed the 1 second cooldown for getting ACC. Now every hit makes it happen.

* Auto-taunting for gaining ACM now triggers when you reach 4 ACM.
* When having ACC/ACM against an opponent, gaining/losing some of it due to another opponent resets it completely.
* All styles get additional 0.1\*(attacker's ACM)\*base BP damage (damage to the defender) for the scored hits (non-pbed) ; as opposed to 0.5\*(attacker's ACM)\*base BP damage before.
* Red, Purple get ACM = ACC - 0.
* Yellow, White, Green get ACM = ACC - 1.
* Blue, Cyan get ACM = ACC - 2.
* The maximum ACM value is 9.
* Scoring a non-Perfect Blocked hit is +1 ACC. Getting hit without PBing is -1. Switching styles is --> 0 ACC. These mechanics are overriden by styles' unique abilities for Saber vs Saber.

#### Styles' unique abilities for Saber vs Saber

Each saber style is granted a unique ability for the Saber vs Saber matchup. This overrides other general mechanics. These abilities are only available when a saber is equipped, on or off, and the particular style is chosen. PB stands for Perfect Block. BP stands for Block Points.

* Cyan : It is harder to force focus a cyan user (takes 1.5x more time).
* Purple : A non-PBed purple hit from someone who has 4+ ACM will disarm and stagger the defender and go through his block, just as if he had no BP. Also, a purple user benefits from a reduction of the force focus time against enemy saberists by a 0.65 multiplier.
* Green : Getting slapped by a green user deals 16 BP damage.
* Red : If a defender using red style PBs a hit from any style, the attacker loses 8 BP - note that if the attacker reaches 0 BP because of that, he will be staggered. Additionally, a red hit which is on the end of a red combo (third swing) staggers the defender at all times (he still gets no BP drain if he PBs, but staggers anyways ; and he staggers also if the red swing was cancelled out - except if he was also using red style in which case nothing happens).
* White : White is able to score MBlocks regardless of perfect block, that is, regardless of camera aim - but it still requires moving in the right direction. A MBlock scored without perfect blocking will benefit from the effects of a perfect block (negating BP drains).
* Yellow : Has no special ability since it is the jack-of-all-trades style and cheaper to buy.
* Blue : PBing a hit with blue gives +1 ACC.

#### Saber Defense and Q3 revamp

* Saber Defense level 2 is the new level 1. Saber defense level 3 is the new level 2.
* Saber Defense level 3 (8 pts) grants no additional FP drain for swingblock deflects as opposed to a 2.0x multiplier otherwise. It also increases BP regeneration by a little bit (level 1 regenerates 2 BP per 0.5 second, level 2 regenerates 4 BP per 0.5 second, level 3 regenerates 5 BP per 0.5 second).
* "Q3" or attack-defense ability is restricted to FA mode. It grants attack-defense, drains are 2.0x for attack-defending if the player has a Saber Defense level below 3 and 1.0x at level 3. Also, Q3 no longer has specific stances - it uses the usual saber stances. Additionally, the player may choose whether or not to use attack-defense : the player has it by default, but pressing the MB Special 1 key while doing a saber swing will prevent it from occurring.

#### Saber Deflect revamp / MBlock deflect

* MBlock deflect uses parries. MBlock deflecting a projectile requires pressing attack while blocking within a window of 200 ms before being hit. This does not have a cooldown, i.e. after having parried, MBlock deflect is once again available 200 ms later.
* Performing a MBlock deflect (successful or not) drains FP (on top of the FP drain for deflecting a shot).
* Saber Deflect level 1 (2 pts) : drains 4 FP everytime one MBlocks, does not work on projectiles incoming from enemies who are too close.
* Saber Deflect level 2 (4 pts) : drains 2 FP everytime one MBlocks, works all the time.
* Saber Deflect level 3 (8 pts) : drains no FP everytime one MBlocks, works all the time.
* Saber Deflect can be bought as long as Saber Offense (meaning any of Fast/Medium/Strong Styles) is bought. - Saber Defense level 0 doesn't automatically block projectiles, but they can still be MBlocked if Saber Deflect is bought (although the FP drain for blocking the shot is twice as high as Saber Defense level 1).

#### Styles' unique abilities for Saber vs Gun / Open Mode

Each saber style is granted a unique ability for the Saber vs Gun matchup. This overrides other general mechanics. These abilities are only available when a saber is equipped, on or off, and the particular style is chosen.

* Purple : Overall FP drain reduction for deflecting projectiles by a 0.65 multiplier. Deals 440 damage per hit, able to kill any class in 1 hit except a SBD with cortosis.
* Green : Reduced force power FP costs (0.75 multiplier for all costs of all force powers). Reduced FP cost (0.5 multiplier) for deflecting a second blaster hit quickly after a previous one (justified because green has 2 separate sabers) - for instance this reduction applies to two successive e11 secondary fire blaster shots, but not e11 primary fire. Deals 260 damage per hit.
* Yellow : No special ability since it is the jack-of-all-trades style and cheaper to buy. Deals 240 damage per hit.
* White : Wider deflection and saber blocking arc (1.5 multiplier). FP regeneration increased by a 1.3x multiplier when out of combat, which is 3+ seconds after the last time you sustained HP damage or deflected projectiles or blocked a saber swing (PB/bodyhit/cancelled out with your own swing). Deals 260 damage per hit.
* Blue : Can block projectiles while performing saber-out slaps. Deals 140 damage per hit.
* Red : Increased damage reduction (0.65 multiplier) at all times against most things, plus no increase of damage taken when attacking. Deals 600 damage per hit, able to kill any class in 1 hit except a SBD with cortosis.
* Cyan : No additional FP drains when hit while jumping with saber. FP regen when jumping with saber. Wall acrobatics and backflip move have no cost. Deals 140 damage per hit.
