HvV is a clusterfuck of a mode if they continue to put up randoms with zero communication against parties in party chat. Don't get why it's so hard to just have solo players play against other solo players.
The December stuff is already doing something like that.
this is also i wish hero hunt would return
one hero/villain against a bunch of thirsty troopers
every man for themselves
It looks like something like that is coming in the first DLC pack:
So bar PC, what is the best option between PS4Pro and XbOX?
I'm still not happy with how things turned out, but I'm curious on how they'll move forward and it's good to see a game be given free content updates.

Wait is there photomode?Couple of in game Xbox one X screenshots -Inferno Squadron armor is so damn sexy!
No (I don't think so anyway). Captured during gameplay
Got a little close to my AI partners on the 5th campaign level and used Xboxdvr to grab a couple of screenshots ; )
Kotor is so far removed from even the prequels to the point where it doesn't even matter if it's declared canon or not.
Xbox one X should be superior in anyway, but i'm playing on the Pro with a 1080p screen and the game is really pretty with super clean IQ.
No. Elements are, and a canon version may still be told one day, but the original games are never going to be canon again.
Malachor is canon. Revan and Kreia are implied canon.

That must be brand new because I've 11 levels without getting that.
I just noticed I got like 2k more credits than what the match said I earned.
It could be a random challenge or it might be something new, but I definitely got those 2k extra credits after that round was over and I happened to level up in it.
Thank you for the feedback, I am getting a refund for my copy and I am going see what its like in a few weeks.
It is a real shame I think, the upgrades should have been like the cards in the first game and you just spend real money on character and weapon skins instead of a season pass if this is how they wanted to cover the costs.
This is a really good idea. Plus, they will likely drop the price after Last Jedi comes out.
I didn't notice if I got anything when I leveled, will have to check later. But I remember a few people saying they got bonuses for leveling yesterday, so it can't be THAT new. Unless it's only for certain levels or something.
Really appreciate your views, mine is being refunded tomorrow and I will see how this unfolds in the coming weeks, It is a shame though this game has ended up like this.
I have the Elite Trooper version so if I play it and then trade it in it will cost me £40 (the game was £70 the trade-in is £30) I could buy the normal version and try it out for £10 I suppose but I am going to leave it a couple of weeks, I did try to cancel my pre-order but to get it out in time the order was locked early last week.
Yea it could be for certain levels, like 5 10 20 or something, cause I had not noticed that before I got this level.
It's been in the game since EA Access. It just doesn't inform you and it's hard to notice it early on when you're unlocking a bunch of other stuff and think the credits are coming from that instead of the Rank Up.
Some dude did the math for the first couple of ranks over on Reddit.

Eh I think they kinda phoned it in with the Inferno Squadron look...they're just tie fighter helmets and they look awkwardly huge when they are walking around.
See that's what I like about it. They're consistent in the overall Stormtrooper aesthetic without going all weird and silly like EU stuff tends to do.
Having a ton of fun in both starfighter and galactic assault so far. Really want to git gud at flying. Game feels as stress free to play as the first game did to me. Every time I'm reminded of the progression though, I feel really bad. It really doesn't feel rewarding at all. It sucks because the game is really fun to play, the atmosphere and music are dead on but every time I'm reminded of the crates I just get meeeeeeeeeh and that really puts me off the game as much as I'm enjoying it.
I've heard a bunch of people say they were "bored to tears" playing the first 3 missions of campaign.
Well... I played the first 3 missions this morning before work—what a blast! Maybe I'm biased cuz there's been a lot of ship-to-ship combat so far, and I love what Criterion has done with starships. In fact, Criterion needs a standing ovation for what they've done. Dogfighting is my favorite part of the game from what I've played in the Beta and will probably be my main multiplayer mode, but I digress. The campaign is fun so far and I like the story, the dialogue and the progression of the main character.

Not that far, the first space mission after the dude with the holograph head
And it's that way by design. The whole point of these confusing systems is to blur what it is you're actually paying for when you're ready to buy in.
Who would ever want to spend $10 for an earlier +15% damage boost that's just going to matched or outdone by everyone else who spends more time or money on the game?
Now who would spend the $10 worth of crafting parts you got from loot crates that you got from crystals that you got from a credit card, on first raising your starcard level enough that you can now spend more crafting parts to get a +15% damage boost.
And they don't even want you to have the goal of getting anything but the ability to stop losing. Avoiding something bad from happening is a much stronger psychological pull than the motivation to gain something good, so every time you die they remind you that maybe that maybe you wouldn't have lost by spending more money.
So with the goal of spending money you get to the store and see the prices and start thinking about what you are getting for your money. It's impossible to workout all the layers of the most awkwardly priced conversions possible to get anything tangible, especially adding in the probability calculations from loot boxes that you can't even calculate because they don't tell you the odds.
But it is easy to valuate is that spending more money at one time results in getting more crystals per dollar. And since that's the only thing you can valuate, that's the main thing that's going to drive your purchase.
Even without the ways it is built to prey on addictive personalities it's still grossly manipulative.
For people with addictive personalities, for a full 10 hours they're purposefully training them on faster than normal intervals to spin the slot machine for the chance at a digital reward, and the dopamine hits that psychologically come with that. So when the challenges dry up, the pace of rewards drops significantly, telling people who have been used to a certain pace of dopamine hits they can only keep up that pace if they spend more money.
And all this uses an insane amount of data to know the exact pace of giving out rewards to maximize addiction.
that's so sick lol.
Yeah, I had noticed that too. I've been top of the leaderboard in my games by virtue of just playing the objectives and getting points dumped on me as a result. Ending games with like, 2-4 eliminations though lol.
I would say it would take some time to rightfully judge if the game modes are balanced or not. This is a objective heavy game and everyone is probably still figuring out exactly what to do and how to do it. That said, if you're playing as the battle droids on Kamino, you've got a huge uphill battle to face. Lol
I played for about 2 hours last night and had a good time with it. During that time, I was pretty flush with crafting parts and credits, which I really thought was going to be an issue after I played the beta and read through the recent complaints. I'm looking forward to putting in some more time with it tonight. I'm hoping the customization stuff comes sooner rather than later.
Yeah, the game honestly has it all. Amazing space battles and amazing battles on the ground with storm troopers, rebels, droids and heroes in third or first person and all with a healthy selection of beautiful maps straight out of the gate. Now, think of all the content yet to come that will be added to it. It's going to be a monster of a game. They just need to knock these tweaks out of the park.
The really sad thing is with all this fiasco of a launch is that this is simply an amazing game. I've just played it almost solidly for about 5 or 6 hours and its endless fun. Its also I think probably the best looking and sounding game I've played on my PS4 Pro. Maybe you need a 4K HDR TV to appreciate it properly and maybe you don't but it is jaw dropingly good looking and sounding. I was just playing the assault game there where the rebels have to steal an AT-AT on Endor at night during a rain storm and the AT-AT has got these massive search lights on its head. When they're shining through the trees there's all these huge shadows and blinding lights and its just the best use of HDR I've seen so far in any game I've played and its incredibly atmospheric and oddly terrifying.
I believe EA said exactly they would be dropping the price at the time TLJ drops
Oh man I noticed that too last night. It's so awesome to see those headlights are super blinding. Like I can't see anything behind it when they shine my way. It reminds me of RE7, one of my first HDR games and I went outside and looked at the sun and it hurt my eyes to look at the tv. HDR really is a thing of beauty when done well.

I completely disagree. I hated having infantry in the mode.
Did you play the beta? Was a bit disappointed there by the graphics and sound maybe coming from Battlefield 1 on the pro, so can you eventually confirm that the visuals have been upgraded since the beta?
Was pretty much my only gripe with the game...
Damn, sounds like I need to get on that mode. I have not had the time to try it yet.
I mean, I can't confirm that the visuals have been tuned or anything, but I had the exact impression of the beta you did and I am in total awe of how good the final game looks.
It's definitely a step up from the beta, but it's not quite at the level of Battlefield 1 yet imo.
Big plus is that you can turn off all the "cinematic" effects.
