Iden Versio's Droid Batteries reduces cooldowns by more than 50%

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Iden Versio's Droid Batteries star card is supposed to reduce the shock and shield cooldowns by 25% but in reality it's over 50%. Without the star card her stun and droid shield recharge in ~20 seconds and with the star card they recharge in ~8 seconds or less.It should've been 15 seconds not 8! Please fix this already.This has been issue for a couple of months.

  • Yes, I have the same problem.

    The rechargetime of stun droid will be 20sec -> 8sec with that card.

    It is so ridiculous.

    Summarize your bug Droid Batteries card should give a 25% recharge reduction according to the card description, but in reality it's over 60%. Default cooldown: 20 seconds, with the card: 7.5 seconds - the card doesn't reduce the cooldowns separately and it's using the same for the shield and stun if the card is equipped.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use Iden Versio's stun with and without the "Droid Batteries" card and monitor the cooldowns.
    What happens when the bug occurs? Incorrect recharge bonus is given.
    What do you expect to see? If the card gives a 25% decrease then the recharge time should be 15 seconds - double of what currently is, since the stun's default recharge time is 20 seconds.

    Summary:

    Without the card: 20 seconds, working as intended (00:11 - goes to cooldown, 00:31 - recharged)

    With the card: 7-8 seconds, definitely not as described (00:57 - goes to cooldown, 01:04 - recharged)

    It's the same in every game mode, I used arcade for better demonstration. Online play:


    The shield is working as intended: default 10s, reduced 7.5s. Basically the card gives the same recharge values for the stun and shield instead of reducing them separately.

    Hello @Szaby59 and @Sati_Sati , I've moved the post into this older one about the same issue, so it gets more attention from the developers.

    Also, thanks for testing and recording it in multiplayer as well, Szaby59! I was cleary wrong about this issue being only in arcade. 

    Many of similar issues are only in arcade, such as this brilliant thread here, but the star card issue of Iden is clearly present in online modes as well.

    I once saw a YouTuber using the secondary fire of Iden continuously (with little to no cooldown), while I couldn't achieve it with the same cards. Also turned out to be only in arcade.

    It is also pretty weird that there are many problems with all the star cards (especially with the wrong values: cooldown to short, too high damage output, etc). I wish they once measured every single card and solved all these problems in one go.

    Anyways thanks for reporting!

    Thank you for the editing. :eahigh_file:

    I have checked Iden's stats (droid stun).

    RechargeTime: 20sec

    And with the Droid Batteries card, it will be...

    RechargeTime: 9sec/8.5sec/8sec/7.5sec

    Even the lowest tier card gives more than 50% recharge speed! 

    I suppose it is not intended.
