Battlefield Briefing: Development Update, May 2022
If you'd like to join the discussion on this update, please go here. Hey Folks - Over the past few months, we've shared some of the key areas of focus for Battlefield™ 2042. Through our Core Feedback Loop, we've also shown off some of the work we've been doing on those areas. As we’ve been working to get Season 1 into your hands, it’s been a while since we provided you with a better overview of where we are with that work, and the changes and improvements that you can expect to see coming to the game throughout the year. To bring you in on what we’ve been working on I recently sat down with Senior Producer Ryan McArthur, and Creative Director for Battlefield 2042, Lars Gustavsson to talk about the improvements we’re bringing to the game and maybe even give a hint about all the new content and improvements that’s coming down the pipe. Have a watch below, and see for yourself where we’re at as we approach the release of Season 1 next month. What we are focusing on Ahead of the start of our first Season, we have focused on addressing the core issues with our game. It's been essential for us to ensure that as much of the experience that we shipped with is in as best a shape as possible before we started to deliver all new content. We know that this has been a frustrating, and lengthy time getting from there to here, and while we have more to do, we're encouraged that many of you are having a better experience with the game. Ahead of new content arriving in the game, we wanted to assure you that there are still four key focus areas for us right now: Maps Experiences & Modes Core Gameplay New Content These encompass some pretty big areas of our game and have plenty of nuanced changes and additions built within them. In the video above, you get to hear directly from Ryan and Lars on where we are today with our work, but if you’re looking for a recap, here’s a breakdown of what you can expect to see updated and changed in the game over the next several months. Maps In this focus area, we’re not just looking at the new maps that we’re planning to bring throughout our upcoming Seasons, but also the improvements that we want to bring to our existing playspaces. We know that our maps play best when the space is being well utilized, and when you feel that you have a good understanding of not only where to go next in our maps, but also the safest ways to traverse that distance. We’ve seen from your feedback that you are enjoying our maps in 128 players on Conquest, but that when it comes to other experiences, we shouldn’t stick so rigidly to those rules. When the first of our new maps arrives in Season 1, we hope you’ll feel that these changes help to create a more fun and tactical experience, and we’re looking forward to you experiencing these changes for yourself next month. We’re also looking to ensure that where we need to, we’re able to bring some of our launch maps up to our revised standard of quality, focusing first on the reintroduction of Kaleidoscope. As shared in our Core Feedback loop last month, we’ve revised the playspace to add more cover, creating new flag positions, and improved the flow across the whole map. Cover has been added not only with the placement of new assets, but also in the raising of terrain to help break sightlines and let infantry move more purposefully around the map. Most importantly, these new assets bring more tactical destruction which help to ensure that the map evolves throughout the duration of each round, and provide both Attackers and Defenders with new options when playing in key areas. We’ve also introduced new areas onto the map, adding a Forward Operating Base into the park, with a second command post added close to the Tower. The Data Center has similarly received multiple passes from the teams to help ensure that there are more cover points, and new war torn looks to certain areas that help make the map more faithful to 2042’s setting. Our work on Renewal is also progressing well, adhering to these same quality improvements. Now scheduled to release some time after Season 1, the changes will help improve much of the infantry experience on the map, helping to eliminate playspaces that stretched the gameplay into quieter spaces (removing sectors A and E from the map), and focusing the action through the map's center. The Solar Station has been revised to include much more cover, new concrete barriers, sandbags, and assets that help to give the space a more occupied and entrenched feeling. The terrain connecting from here to the Security Checkpoint in the center of the map has been raised and modified to provide better cover for players, with a simplification of the layout taking place at the substation to help eliminate the numerous possible angles of attack. Connecting the Security Checkpoint to the Synseco Buildings, there’s now plenty of cover helping to link the playspaces, with the Synseco Buildings themselves featuring more internal points of cover that help to improve our standards of Close Quarters Combat. Experiences and Modes Connecting to the improvements that we’re making to our playspaces, we’ve spent our time over these last few months reviewing the experiences we provide with our game modes and challenged ourselves to ensure that we’re improving the quality of gameplay here too. Here we have two big focuses - the variety and depth of what you play, and the available options of what you can play. As you’ve now experienced in our recent 0.4.1 Update - we have unshackled ourselves from 128 Player Game Modes when it comes to how we develop new modes in our game, and also in the play spaces we use in our maps. 128 Players won’t be going anywhere, we know it's great for some of our experiences. For players on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, we’ll continue to optimize our Conquest experiences around large player counts, but as we’ve done recently with Breakthrough, we’ve made the decision to keep this mode as a more tactical experience, better suited to 64 players. Conquest experiences will at times feature less Sectors and Capture points as we introduce new content, and update some of our existing content. This is a change that helps us to better control the flow and pacing of combat, making sure that you’re spending more time engaging on the flags, and less time checking your phone while you wait for the capture to confirm. In Breakthrough, the decision that moves us to 64 players universally, helps us to build more focused frontlines for the engagement, and the reduction in player count ensures that squads which look to work more tactically find more opportunities, and less chaotic resistance in the flanks. We’re also looking to expand and bring our official modes together to include Rush, our 32 Player focused experience during Season 1. We’ll have more to share about that when we reveal the Season next month, but we wanted to let you know to expect this expansion to All-Out Warfare, alongside core improvements to the Rush experience following its initial outings via Battlefield Portal. Speaking of which, starting in Season 1, you’ll see more of our existing Battlefield Portal maps joining the rotations in All-Out Warfare to help bring more variety to our Core Modes. One final piece of news for you to take away from today’s video - we’re winding down future development on Hazard Zone. All of us on the team had great ambition and high hopes for this new Battlefield experience throughout our development, but we’re the first to hold our hands up and acknowledge that it hasn’t found the right home in Battlefield 2042 and that we’ll benefit greatly from letting our focus and energy stay on the modes we see you engaging most with. Hazard Zone will stay as part of the experience, we’re not switching it off, but beyond addressing critical errors and odd behaviors that may appear in the future, we’re no longer actively developing new experiences or content for the mode, and you’ll find that maps that we release across our seasons will not be supported in Hazard Zone. Core Gameplay Let’s talk about Specialists. We know this is one of the main topics discussed across Battlefield Communities, and it’s an important priority for us too. In terms of what you can expect to see on this topic, we are actively working to update the style and tone that our Specialists bring to the experience. We’ve started art passes on our Specialists that help to better reflect what we feel their place to be in the world, making them feel grittier, and closer to the more serious tone that we want to come across in our narrative. We’re also in the process of updating the voice lines that you hear from the Specialists, removing ones that we know break your immersion and connection to our characters, and will ensure that cosmetic options you’ll encounter in the future provide you with more grounded and more military-themed content. On the gameplay side of Specialists, we’re still exploring bigger changes to their design and don’t want to commit into temporary decisions while this work is still ongoing. We are continuing to make regular balance changes, such as the recent nerf to Boris’ turret in 0.4.1, and the light overhaul made to Rao’s passive behavior in 0.4.0 just last month. We will continue to help ensure the experience you have with the Specialists is well balanced and able to provide good variety to the gameplay, but we don’t want to rush into any new directions until we’re 100% satisfied that what we do next is the right thing to do. How Specialists fit into the game today can be improved. We’re sensitive to, and grateful for the feedback that we have received so far from all of you, but we recognise that making a sweeping change to Specialists would cause significant delays to our development, more so than we already have in our work to improve the experience ahead of the start of our Seasons. We do intent to make changes, but want to ensure they do not impact the other improvements, fixes and content that we’re bringing to the game. There are initial ideas that we have, and when we’re on sturdier ground with the vision we have for the Core Gameplay of Specialists, we will come to you to share those ideas and solicit that feedback. The Core Feedback Loop for Specialists will come later than planned, but we invite you to continue sharing your thoughts around improvements that we can make here. We’re not walking away from Specialists, they’re a key part of the Battlefield 2042 experience, and we just want to make sure that we get this right. Elsewhere in Core Gameplay improvements, we’re looking to bring new 3rd person animation modeling to the game, giving much better readability to body motion and helping you to better react to enemy movement. With Gunplay, you’ve already seen us bring improvements to our Weapon Attachments in Update 0.4.0. We’re going to continue balancing our weapons to ensure that they each have a unique application within the sandbox, and we’re working on changes to Visual Recoil to help improve the experience of firing our weapons. Beyond this, we have new weapons and gadgets coming with each Season, and we’ve started work on a new initiative that will see us further add to our pool of Weapons and Gadgets, by introducing some of our Classic eral arsenal into the All-Out Warfare experiences. This isn’t a simple or fast change, it’ll take us some time to do. We need to ensure that these weapons are mapped properly to progression, that they’re appropriately balanced to the 2042 model of gunplay, and that they’re supported with appropriate mastery and cosmetics, but we’ve started work on this and we’ll have more to share further down the road. On the Teamplay and Social side of our Core Gameplay loops, we’re making UI improvements during Season 1 that help enable better readability across our systems that let you understand where your friends are playing, finding new modes to play, and understanding what to expect when you jump in. And finally on Performance, we’re continuing to ensure that the game is living up to your expectations of a technically sound experience that performs at the framerates you expect from your hardware. We took a big step towards addressing that with our Minimum Spec players in our 0.4.0 update, and there were positive knock on effects across the board that helped to see many players gain better CPU utilization, improved latency on input, and a smoother experience with less hitching than seen at launch. This is work that we continue to iterate on, and work to find new improvements for, with more for us to do throughout Season 1. New Content Season 1 will launch next month, and will mark the start of a year of new content coming to the game. Four Seasons, four New Specialists, new maps, and new weapons and gadgets that help to expand the sandbox. We’re bringing a Battle Pass to Battlefield for the first time that will give players the chance to earn new gameplay items, all of which are on our free tiers, and new cosmetic items across both the free and premium tiers. Next month with the release of Season 1 we’ll see a big update that will not only bring this new content to the game, but also deliver new Quality of Life enhancements, fixes, and improvements that demonstrate our continued commitment to Battlefield 2042 and our mission of restoring the trust that many of you feel was hurt when we launched back in November of last year. All of us on the team are thankful by your feedback following the release of 0.4.0 update, which allowed us to make swift changes via a Hotfix the following day to address stuttering issues, and incorrect Ticket Counts for our Breakthrough 64P layouts. We are pleased that we now have the opportunity to show you even more of our hard work with the start of Season 1. Internally we’ve enjoyed playing its content for longer than we planned to, but we’re keen to maintain the right cadence of our updates from here, both for new content, and game improvements. To see more of the changes, check out the video linked at the top of this article if you haven’t already and stay tuned to us here on the Battlefield Website, our Social Channels, and the Battlefield Discord. Next month we’ll publish our complete Season 1 Update Notes, and return with a new video where I’ll be joined by members of the Battlefield development team to talk about Season 1, and to look ahead to more of the changes that we’re making to the game. Until then, thank you for giving us the time to play the objective <3 Freeman // @PartWelsh Community Lead, Battlefield This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible. If you'd like to join the discussion on this update, please go here.
Kit Reveal: I love Marrok and Roll
UNIT NAME: Marrok ALIGNMENT: Dark Side CATEGORIES: Support, Inquisitorius, Mercenary, Unaligned Force User ------ Key Attributes: Mercenary and Inquisitorius Support character, designed to work with both squads (with a heavy emphasis on Mercenary). The Omicron greatly helps Inquisitors beat the Third Sister shard mission in the Rise of the Empire Territory Battle. They are the Final piece of the kernel for the Baylan Skoll Mercenary squad. Marrok benefits from more stacks of Soldier of Fortune in multiple ways such as his Special inflicting Ability Block, reducing enemy Offense when attacking out of turn, or applying additional stacks of Purge and Expose on all enemies. Inspiration: Marrok, as seen in Ahsoka, was a mysterious and interesting figure who worked with Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati for the Great Mothers to liberate Grand Admiral Thrawn. While the look of the character is based on his appearance on the Ahsoka show, his abilities will also synergize with Inquisitors. We only ever see him fight in the Ahsoka-timeframe so animations and ability names will be inspired from that appearance. We all loved the Marrok’s spinning lightsaber move in the show, so made sure to give the character some love by including it in the kit. Strategy Tips: Marrok is part of Baylan Skill’s Mercenary squad which relies on gaining stacks of Soldier of Fortune. With his unique ability, Marrok enables his mercenary allies to apply Purge on enemies and he himself gains stacks of Soldier of Fortune on return. Since he also interacts with Purge on enemies, he can be a valuable part of an Inquisitorius squad as well. If Marrok consumes max stacks of Purge using Desperate Getaway the cooldown is reset, so prioritizing the right target is vital FAQ: How do I acquire Marrok? Marrok’s Marquee event begins on October 3rd at 11am Pacific in-game. Which characters are required for the Marrok event? Shin Hati will be required to enter into the Marrok event from tier 2 onwards. She can be at any investment for Tiers 1 through 6. Both characters need to be Relic 5 for the final tier. Is Marrok required for GL Ahsoka? Nope Is Marrok required for Baylan Skoll? Yep (Relic 7) How does Marrok fit in the Inquisitorius squad? Marrok’s ability to dispel debuffs on Inquisitorius ally on consuming Purge is a very helpful ability that happens quite frequently. From the Marrok Designer: CG_Guardian: Designing Marrok was very interesting and exciting. From his first appearance in the show, I was very intrigued by him because of his mysterious design. The way he spins his lightsaber, the way he duels with Ahsoka and the way he disappears with green smoke when defeated; all of them were very cool and interesting. One of the fun challenges in designing Marrok was how to make him fit with both Inquisitors and Mercenary squads. We wanted Marrok to have benefits based on Purge as well as the new status effect - Soldier of Fortune. Since his primary team is supposed to be the Mercenaries, we ultimately decided to bring Purge in the Mercenary squad. Although Purge is not directly advantageous to some of the other Mercenary allies, applying Purge on enemies gives Soldier of Fortune stacks to Marrok and that gives out benefits to the squad. Q/A Link: Click me ------ ABILITIES: BASIC: Spinning Slash Final Text: Deal Special damage to the target enemy. If the enemy had a stack of Purge, inflict Tenacity Down for 1 turn. If it's Marrok's turn, all Mercenary allies gain Defense Up for 1 turn, otherwise inflict 3 stacks of Purge on the target enemy. SPECIAL 1: Desperate Getaway (Cooldown 4) Final Text: Deal Special damage to all enemies and deal an additional instance of damage to the target enemy. Expose target enemy for 1 turn. If Marrok has 20 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune, inflict Ability Block on all enemies with Purge for 1 turn. Consume all stacks of Purge on the target enemy. If 6 stacks were consumed this way, reset this ability's cooldown. For each stack of Purge consumed, grant Advantage to a random Mercenary ally who doesn't have it for 2 turns. UNIQUE 1: Masked Hunter (Zeta, Omicron) Final Text: At the start of battle, Marrok gains 30% Max Health and Max Protection, and 50% Potency. At the start of his turn, Marrok inflicts Defense Down for 1 turn on a random enemy with Purge, which can't be evaded or resisted. Whenever another Mercenary ally uses a Special ability, Marrok will assist. Whenever Marrok scores a critical hit, all Mercenary allies gain 5% Offense (stacking, max 100%) until the end of the encounter. Whenever an enemy resists a debuff from a Mercenary ally, all Mercenary allies gain 10% Turn Meter. Whenever another Mercenary ally uses an ability on their turn, inflict a stack of Purge on the target enemy which can't be resisted. Whenever a Mercenary ally reaches 20% Health for the first time, they gain Damage Immunity for 1 turn. While Marrok has 20 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune, whenever he attacks out of turn, reduce the Offense of the target enemy by 20% until the end of their next turn. If Marrok has 40 or more stacks of Soldier of Fortune, whenever he attacks out of turn, apply additional 3 stacks of Purge on all enemies and using Desperate Getaway will Expose all enemies for 2 turns. While in Territory Battles: At the start of battle, Marrok gains 2 stacks of Soldier of Fortune for each enemy. If Marrok is present, enemies can't be revived. All Inquisitorious allies are immune to percent based Health damage. While an enemy has Purge, they can't recover Health and Protection, and Inquisitorious allies attacks deal additional True damage. UNIQUE 2: Soldier of Fortune - Marrok Final Text: At the start of battle, Marrok gains 1 stack of Soldier of Fortune per Jedi or Light Side Unaligned Force User enemy. At the start of each Mercenary ally's turn, they gain 2% Defense Penetration for each stack of Soldier of Fortune they have until the end of their turn. Marrok gains a stack of Soldier of Fortune for each stack of Purge inflicted by another Mercenary ally. Marrok loses 3 stacks of Soldier of Fortune whenever he uses Desperate Getaway. Every time a Mercenary ally gains a stack of Soldier of Fortune, they recover 5% Health and Protection. UNIQUE 3: Patience Final Text: At the start of battle, if all allies (minimum 3) are Inquisitorius, this character gains 20% Max Health, Max Protection, and Potency. Dispel debuffs from a random Inquisitorius ally whenever a stack of Purge is consumed or dispelled by any Inquisitorius ally. Whenever an enemy damages this character with an attack while attacking out of turn, that enemy gains a stack of Purge (max 6), which can't be evaded or resisted. Whenever Purge is consumed or dispelled on an enemy, this character gains 3% Turn Meter.Battlefield 2042 - Dark Protocol, Killswitch: Geist Forge Update
We hope you’ve been enjoying Dark Protocol, Battlefield 2042’s new Limited Time Event that’s available for play until November 14. Based on combat data received over the first two days of Dark Protocol, AOS, the Boreas artificial intelligence, has issued itself a firmware update to all Geist Forges to increase their lethality. That means that through your feedback and gameplay we’re dialing up the spook factor with several gameplay improvements that are active immediately to our ongoing Limited Time Mode, Killswitch, and the gameplay behavior of Geists. //The Battlefield Team Stay Informed Follow us on the @BattlefieldComm Twitter account to stay informed on the roll out of our updates. You can also follow along with our tracking of Known Issues. Changelog Geists Geist survivability has been increased, with Damage Taken per bullet reduced from 0.33 -> 0.3. Geist Stun Behavior has been minimized, Stun Behavior refers to the actions they take once they have received substantial damage within a short period of time. Previously, Geists would be stunned when receiving 15% of total health loss in under 1.5 seconds. This will now occur at 50% of total health loss in under 0.5 seconds. Dev Comment: We’ve seen your comments that it was sometimes unclear why Geists would stop moving during combat. Their gameplay behavior as Synthetic Soldiers was intended to have them remain stunned when dealt considerable damage during a short period of time. However, this gameplay behavior didn’t always lead to fun engagements so we are reducing this effect. Forges Forges now spawn 12 Geists per wave, increased from 9. Spawn time between waves has been increased from 15 seconds to 17.5 seconds. The maximum number of Geists available in-game simultaneously has been reduced from 40 to 30. Dev Comment: This adjustment takes into account their increased effectiveness and the potential of Geists lasting longer during encounters. This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible.

Changelog Fixed a few different situations where aiming down sights would not properly zoom in your view to the correct magnification. This could for example happen when you ADS quickly after a reload or while jumping between seats in vehicles. Switching between the first and second stance of the driver seat with the IFV now has a brief cooldown time before the weapon is ready to fire. Guided missiles on the IFVs will now interact with the flares like the rest of the missiles. Improved Warhead ability now correctly applies the increased damage on the BMP.

The Scatter Grenade now tracks properly in the statistics tab. This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible.Kit Reveal: Jocasta Spell On Nu
UNIT NAME: Jocasta Nu ALIGNMENT: Light Side CATEGORIES: Attacker, Galactic Republic, Jedi, Jedi Vanguard ------ Key Attributes: Conquest lifter for the Legendary unit coming in the next Era Don’t let her Librarian title fool you - she wields a powerful *lightsaber-fueled rifle* Transforms from using the lightsaber to using the rifle New Jedi Vanguard faction tag Inspiration: When we were first working on the Rise of the Empire Territory Battle we were looking for enemies to add to the various planets. Unfortunately, Jocasta got cut from TB, but remained in our hearts. After reading the Darth Vader comics featuring her (issues 9 and 10), we knew we had to include her and her lightsaber-fueled rifle that she uses in the comic. We used every aspect of the comic appearance for this character. The loading of her lightsaber into the rifle The different shots the rifle uses The onomatopoeias (word sounds) inspired our audio artists Throwing the overloaded rifle in a last-ditch effort to save herself Strategy Tips: Utilize Jedi Vanguard allies to help Jocasta Nu transform into Jocasta Nu (Rifle) as quickly as possible It Belongs in a Museum will increase Siphon for her My Turn ability, so time those up for maximum efficiency FAQ: How do you acquire Jocasta Nu? Conquest Will her kit get any updates with the upcoming units? Since Conquest units take more time to unlock, she is coming earlier than her other squad members. Therefore, it is likely we will add some synergy callouts to those units as they are released. What other units are getting the Jedi Vanguard faction tag? Aayla Secura Barriss Offee Eeth Koth Ima-Gun Di Jedi Consular Jedi Knight Guardian Kelleran Beq Kit Fisto Luminara Unduli Plo Koon Qui-Gon Jinn Shaak Ti What does Jedi Vanguard mean as a distinct faction? The Jedi faction is huge. We wanted a sub faction of Jedi where we could cage some power without making a certain Jedi Master even more powerful than he already is. The Vanguards are a collection of Jedi we felt were (or would have been) stalwart defenders of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Other than the new Jedi Vanguard coming in the next era, what squads is she good with? There are many existing places to slot her, but our favorite while waiting for her new units is Kelleran Beq. How does throwing the rifle work? If Jocasta is about to be defeated you get a bonus turn. During this turn you can only throw the rifle as an AoE explosion. If this defeats ALL the enemies, she survives and victory is yours. (In a multi-encounter battle, she will be defeated at the start of the next encounter if she throws the rifle). If her rifle throw does not defeat all enemies, she is defeated. How does she transform? By the Book and Shhh! Quiet! both need to be unlocked to at least Tier 6 and all her allies must be Jedi Vanguard. Then when the cooldown is available for It Does Not Exist, she can trigger her transformation. She will be unable to use It Does Not Exist if either conditions are not met. Why does her ability set enemy health to 65? What’s the reference? Order 66 is the declaration that the Jedi have become enemies of the Republic. Order 65, however, is the declaration that the Chancellor has become an enemy of the Republic. We thought this would be a nice nod to the unused Clone orders. How does she work with omiQGJ? Since Jocasta Nu (Rifle)’s defeat can’t be prevented and occurs when she reaches 1% Health after she uses It’s Up to You Now, she would still be defeated even if omiQGJ has not been. Ask questions here: https://forms.gle/am9x8SPvHHT5MQoZ7 ----- ABILITIES: (Pre-Transform) BASICS: By the Book (Zeta+Omicron) Final Text: Deal Special damage to target enemy. If they had Defense Down or Tenacity Down, inflict that debuff on all enemies for 1 turn. Gain Critical Damage Up for 1 turn. SPECIAL 1: Shhh! Quiet! (CD=4) (Zeta + Omicron) Final Text: If all allies are Jedi Vanguard, dispel all buffs on all enemies. Deal Special damage to target enemy. Gain Speed Up for 1 turn and reduce the cooldown of It Does Not Exist by 10. SPECIAL 2: It Does Not Exist (CD=20) Final Text: Gain 50% Critical Chance, Critical Damage, and 5 Siphon for the rest of the battle, and 100% Speed and Tenacity for 1 turn. Daze all enemies for 1 turn. Transform into Jocasta Nu (Rifle). This ability starts on cooldown, can only be used once per battle, and can't be evaded or resisted. This ability can only be used if all allies are Jedi Vanguard and both By the Book and Shhh! Quiet! are Tier 6 or above. UNIQUE 1: Jedi Archivist (Zeta + Omicron) Final Text: Jocasta Nu has +25% Max Protection (increased to 50% if all allies are Jedi Vanguard) at the start of battle and is immune to Protection Disruption and can't be revived. At the start of her turn: Inflict Tenacity Down until the end of her turn against the last enemy to inflict a debuff on her. If this is the second time this has occurred on the same enemy in this encounter and she is Jocasta Nu (Rifle), they are also Exposed. Inflict Defense Down until the end of her turn against the last enemy to damage her. If this is the second time this has occurred on the same enemy in this encounter and she is Jocasta Nu (Rifle), they are also inflicted with Vulnerable. Whenever she attacks an Exposed enemy she recovers 20% Protection. Whenever she recovers Protection gain 10% Offense (stacking) for the rest of the encounter. Whenever she or an enemy gains Foresight, dispel it, she gains Deflective Ward, which can't be dispelled, until she receives damage, recovers 20% Protection, and gains 20% Turn Meter (once per turn). Whenever a Jedi Vanguard ally uses a Special ability, reduce the cooldown of It Does Not Exist by 1. While My Turn is on cooldown, It Belongs in a Museum inflicts Burning on the enemy for 1 turn. The first time Jocasta Nu would be reduced to 1% Health, and she is Jocasta Nu (Rifle), she dispels all debuffs on herself, recovers 100% Health, gains Damage Immunity for 1 turn, which can't be dispelled, and takes a bonus turn. During this bonus turn, she must use Special ability, It's Up to You Now, then is defeated, which can't be prevented, if any enemy survives. At the start of the encounter, if she has used, It's Up to You Now, she is defeated. While in Grand Arenas: Jocasta Nu has +100% counter chance and is immune to Ability Block. If all allies are Jedi Vanguard, whenever they use an ability, reduce the cooldown of It Does Not Exist by 1. Whenever she is Stunned, gain Deflective Ward, which can't be dispelled, until she receives damage. UNIQUE 2: Chief Librarian [THIS IS A TEXT ONLY] When Jocasta Nu transforms, she loses the abilities By the Book, Shhh! Quiet!, and It Does Not Exist, and gains three new abilities. [Basic] It Belongs in a Museum: Deal Special damage to target enemy. If they had Defense Down or Tenacity Down, inflict that debuff on all enemies for 1 turn. Gain Critical Damage Up for 1 turn.

Unfortunately you can’t change the aspect ratio directly, but you can direct The Sims to launch on a second monitor with a different aspect ratio by using the -monitor:[num] command (“0” is the default monitor). We hope you’ll enjoy returning to The Sims’ neighborhoods, Vacation Island, Downtown, Studio Town & Magic Town to spend time with all the classic Sims and Sims families as much as we did. Enjoy encountering Bella, Bonehilda, Chip, Miss Crumplebottom and the rest. Dag dag! The Sims 2 Release Notes Sul Sul Simmers!

We thought we’d also make it easier to see all those classic pixels on your monitor! To scale the game to make better use of the screen space available, try using the Alt + Enter key combination to enter and leave full-screen mode. Enjoy that glorious widescreen The Sims 2 view! There are a few more updates as well to look out for: GraphicsRules.sgr now supports modern hardware configurations Fixed a shadow bug that surrounded Sims with a big black square Wide screen and higher game resolutions are now supported UI scales better to higher resolutions Texture memory corruption and “pink soup” are fixed Dragging The Sims 2 window from one monitor to another works more smoothly If your computer has a lot of RAM, The Sims 2 is able to use it Fixed several crashes Improvements and fixes We hope you’ll enjoy returning to the Belladonna Cove, Desiderata Valley, Riverblossom Hills, Pleasant View, Strangetown, & Veronaville!
