I further clarified that I was referring to GA, not SA. It does fine in SA, but if you're using it in GA and the other team is letting you get away with it, they're just bad.

On another note, the 2nd Sniper rifle for the Specialist + Bolt Speed is hilarious for taking down enemy ships from the ground. It almost makes up for how unbalanced the Rebel ships are vs Imperials, because it is oh so easy to take down X and Y-wings. I've even popped a few A-wings out of the sky. And you get boatloads of points for it.
Maz's castle in blast has some of the worst spawn points. Constantly spawning out in the open or near someone. This makes the map terrible in both GA and Blast.
Edit: Blast really is the best game mode to grind out guns. I saw a lot of officers using disrupter in their load outs for this mode effectively. Basically you pop it when near an enemy, and gun them down as they're defenseless.

His shock grenade + furious bowcaster melts villains. Like, 4 shots at the most.
Just saw someone doing the rubber band trick in HvV. I know the grind is annoying but being a damper on the rest of your team is lame as hell.
Thank god the game factors in individual performance rather than wins and losses. Constantly getting 300 credits while losing is how it should be lol.

I actually like how there isn't a large bonus for winning. The super competitive atmosphere is part of what makes other games so toxic to play in, especially for newer or less skilled players. Giving the winning side a small bonus but tie most of the reward to contributing to the team. Fix the exploitable loopholes like farming AI starfighters and people will naturally contribute. Unrelated note - I dislike how the awards page doesn't actually factor in at all if a team wins or lose. This is for modes with objectives, I see the losing team be awarded all 5 awards all the time, makes no sense since they lost. I think awards should be weighted heavily towards the team that actually won.
This matchmaking bug, at least I hope it's a bug, where you start say a game of blast and you're the only one there and it takes forever for people to join to start a game makes it feel really dead. I've been sitting here as the only person, needing 9 more, the whole time I type this post and for about 3 minutes before. This is on Xbox.
Still need 9 more.
Edit - still need 9
Edit again - still waiting for 9 more people
Another Edit - still need 9, gonna grab a bowl of ice cream
Edit 4 - got my ice cream, still waiting for 9 more I feel like I should stream this, anyone want to watch a stream of me waiting for 9 people to join?
Edit 5 - itsbeen84years.gif
Edit 6 - still waiting, the two bites of ice cream I have left are basically melted, which is fine I like my last few bites melted. This game though... I've never seen anything this bad for a "AAA" game this soon after launch. It's Mass Effect Andromeda in first person shooter form.
Edit 7 - pretty sure it's been over 20 minutes now, still waiting for 9 more. I'm going to exit and restart. This is the Dragon Age 2 of sequels. And I'm just realizing how MEA and DA2 and BF2 are all EA games. Wasnt intentional but it does make one think...
Edit 8 - the final edit. So I actually waited a little over 30 minutes before I quit out. Not sure what else to say.

is this game a MMO? cause you can tank the melee heroes in this game lol. Just roll and let your teammates take them out lol. 100% invincible frames. I think melee heroes worked just fine in BF1Remake. They never felt op. BTW BF2Remake Jedi's have terrible blaster deflection compared to BF1.
Yea I think heroes need worked a bit, I understand playing smart but I mean there should be some sense of power and when you have to hide nonstop it doesn't really feel to powerful imho.
Lando is too OP, I can pretty much kill anyone no problems with him. His stun shock thing is so good
That's nuts. I didn't realize that the roll had i-frames, I thought it was just a dodge animation.
I get killed in mid roll all the time but it could just be the delay, and I was already dead before I rolled.
Exactly you have to play more hit and run type for playstyle as a jedi which is dumb. You never saw sam jackson or Luke Skywalker in the movie run take out one droid/trooper and run back to hide again. In BF 2015 when you played as vader you felt like him. As a regular solider you were scared the moment you saw him coming at you. In this game you know it takes 2 hit for him to KO you so just dodge and have your teammates take him out. As a matter of fact you can keep shooting at him lol. Apparently jedis forgot how to deflect blaster bolts properly in the last 2 years lol.
Yeah it's def not invincible frames like people say. Just the shitty hit detection and hit boxes. I've been killed rolling and have killed rollers. Even force choked them out of their animation.
It's not like they're gonna remove roll. I guess putting it on a cool down is an option but you're also removing the one evasive option people like Han and Lando have. A 2 second cool down is enough for a sith to hit you once and put you in a stun lock until you're dead. And if it ever came to that we'd start complaining that rolling is no longer viable lol.

Dude should've left at 5 minutes. 30? Hell no.
For the most part, I personally don't see anything wrong with the 5 post game accolades. They def need to fix the exploits for AAT spamming and Star Fighter farming, though. But I see nothing wrong with the top player on the losing team recieving the accolades most kills or most assists. I think cases like that happen often enough.
The objective accolade seems wrong, though. Seems like it just factors in whoever is getting the most combat points and it automatically thinks you're playing the objective.
It's blood boiling infuriating. I have a 100down/25up connection, there's no reason why I should have to deal with rubberbanding like I'm some hick out in the sticks. Those jackasses over at DICE are overpaid, complacent with making the minimum effort and incompetent. You'd think four years and four games into the generation these assholes would have gotten a grip but nope, they're still tripping over their fleshlights strewn all over the floor.
Overpaid
Complacent
Incompetent
DICE used to be one of my favorite developers but now I fucking hate them. This is the first game in years that I've bought at release and at full price and I got burned badly. I can't believe I'm actually praying that Disney rips the Star Wars license away from EA.
I am actually liking the base blasters the best for assault, I got the last unlock with reduced recoil but it has a low ROF and often leaves people on a sliver of health.
They definitely need to look into balancing saber heroes. I can only get a handful of kills with them it seems now. Especially now, when more people seem to use (upgraded) versions of vanguard and explosive sentry.
Hit detection on the sabers is a bit wonky, but that might be the rubberbanding, however rolling is way too effective.
Wookie Warriors should also be somewhat tuned down, if I spot one in GA as a hero, I simply run the other way. Their bowcasters shred heroes in 2/3 hits.
Funnily enough I am doing great with Palpatine, got a 43 killstreak with him. His basic is a bit on the weak side, but by god is he fun.

Maybe I just got really unlucky, but AFKers seem to be ruining Heroes Vs. Villains. This was literally my first ever game of it. I won't be queuing for it again any time soon, hahaha.
That sucks, I played with some randoms last night and had a really good bunch of matches.
That's ridiculous.
I've been very lucky in the HvV games I've played. I think I've won about 80% of my games. Most of the teams I've played with have been pretty keen to work together.

This morning's lag and rubber banding took the biscuit: up to 15 seconds of freezing before the game caught up again.
I tried again and this time only two of my team was AFK. I decided to just play for a bit anyway -- Bossk and I ran over to the enemy team only to discover 3 of them were AFK. XD
It seems to be completely fucked, at least on PS4.

I can't stop laughing at this post. Gif of the year for ERA!!!
I haven't tried HvV but Lmfao those bums are obviously just grinding for credits. Report them next time. Now the question is will DICE nerf the amount of credits people get per match or will they actual work on a fix for this?Maybe I just got really unlucky, but AFKers seem to be ruining Heroes Vs.

Spoke too soon... First match and two cunts on my team were afk. I'll be staying away from that mode from now on.

I tried him once and couldn't really use him well. If I pick a blaster Hero and want to do good it's gotta be Han and Boba for me xD
I had no idea we could get weapons from lootboxes. I just opened a Hero box and i got the last assault gun from a card. :O
Me neither and further highlights how dumb this loot box progression system is seeing as how some weapons are vastly superior to others.
This is my favourite thing to do on Kashyyyk when playing as CIS. I hate the map with a passion, so I just spend my time shooting down the geniuses that constantly spawn in the gunship with that mod/gun combo. I love it.
I had the same issue yesterday around 6PM CST; I tried to play to get a game started and I experienced the same thing. I quit out a few times and tried different modes before giving up.
The campaign is beautiful..... the gameplay yeesh. The AI and combat is just so janky. Cool moments kinda ruined with how stupid everything looks with the brain dead AI and just how stupid simple everything is. It reminds me of the bot matches they added in Battlefront 1, all these robotic enemies who wander around aimlessly and then you see them coming at you in set patterns over and over.
I am in a Reddit one which seems to be a decent group if you would like an invite?

Yeah, I've been collecting recordings of invisible players.
I encountered a new bug. The beginner's Heavy training challenge has apparently reset. I've got the third tier gun in the class, but I met and reclaimed that challenge.
Hey, free credits. I'm all for that.
You sure it wasn't a daily challenge? They share the same names/objectives sometimes.
Can someone please look at the video NX Gamer posted. I think it's confirming something for me that I haven't seen talked about. The X version of Battlefront has microstutters that are jarring, even in the campaign. At just about 7:32 on the X side of the screen, you see a quick stutter where it's almost like a quick freeze. I didn't experience any of this on the Pro version when I played it, but on X it's really bothering me. 1 or 2 fps drops don't really bother me, but stuttering does. Is there a noticeable stutter here or am I losing my damn mind?
