I stopped progressing guns after I unlocked the Blurrg lol. I have the base SE-44 unlocked but never used it til a day or two ago. Needs 250 kills for the rapid fire mod.

Just a bit of a warning about the PC version of the game, there seem to be an increasing amount of hackers playing it now all with wallhacks/aimbots and damage modifiers all at the same time. Ran into a Phasma doing 150+ damage with every single shot with 100% accuracy across the map, like hell naw those ping pong balls she fires don't do that amount of damage!

The first game also had a huge problem with hackers too but that was mainly because you could download a trial of the game, so you just had people remaking accounts any time they got banned. BF2 just doesn't seem to have any functioning anti-cheat at all.

Yep been running into hackers almost daily. Pretty sad the game shipped without anticheat.

As a new player that has only had the game for two weeks and dowsn't Get to play often...

Please nerf the following:
- Wookiee Warriors
- officer's with pistols that are more powerful and accurate than any other gun
- officer deployable turrets.

Something I would love and hope they fix:
- matchmaking. When one team gets freakin stomped how about splitting up the 5 best players on the other team that all had over 30 kills when our teams top guy at 12? Nah, instead make me back out (2-4 minutes at loading screen) then load back in (2-4 minutes finding a match. And oh look, halfway through a match on the losing side and once again, noobs va stacked team (or hackers).

I'll never understand the desire or the pleasure of hacking a multiplayer title. What's the fun exactly? Some people really desperately need to fill their life with a meaning by wrecking people and ruin their time with the game. These cheaters must feel godlike, what a joke.

The officer turrets are fine... the Heavy turrets... not so much.

They seem to have hotfixed the issue with being able to AI bot farm as Separatists in Kashyyk. This is what my score looked like a couple of days ago.

I only tried doing this again during phase 1 and phase 2, and I never got objective points, which is a good thing. I'm not sure whether or not this still works in phase 3 and phase 4, but I hope not.

how big is the difference between Rare and Epic for Palp's lightning reach?

Yes, the difference is noticeable. If I were in your shoes though, I would wait before upgrading. A patch is incoming with hero tweaks, and the developers mentioned that they would take a look at him before the patch was announced. Chances are that he'll get adjusted, and depending on how much they change him, it might not even be worth upgrading lightning reach.

This game refuses to give me starcards for Rey. Yesterday i opened at least 10 herocrates in a row and still have only the card that adds damage to the sworddash ability. I use her a lot btw but when it comes to starcard she is the weakest in my collection.

Why don't you just buy and upgrade them with your crafting parts?

Good suggestion:) i spend crafting parts pretty quickly as soon as i have some. Next time i will invest a bunch in Rey.

I find spending crafting parts really, really difficult. And whenever I think "Fuck it, I'll spend them!" something like lack of levels or the like prevents me from doing so XD

This game... this damn game!

How do you expect them to change Emperor Palpatine? Currently, he's a beast in Galactic Assault with the unnecessary buff they decided to give him.
With the patch, he got the following buffs:
  • Maximum health buffed from 650 to 700 health.
  • Minimum health buffed from 150 to 300 health.
  • Regeneration rate increased from 50 to 75.
  • One-hand force lightning from 15 stamina/sec to 10 stamina/sec
  • Two-hand force lightning from 20 stamina/sec to 15 stamina/sec
As someone who was playing Palpatine a lot in Galactic Assault, I was surprised to see these buffs. The only thing I had expected was the stamina buffs as he needed it in Heroes Vs. Villains. Currently, he's in god mode and I've been continuously dominating games without dying when playing him. What I hope for is them reverting back all the health buffs he received.

Blurg is a monster and ridiculous, but ironically the officer class is not played that much in matches. In some maps you get the Battlefield issue where you get hordes of snipers, and heavies are so crazy popular. But officer with blurg is an insane killing machine

I still havent even seen this attempted yet. Its such a huge unexplained mechanic. I think Ive only seen it once on the tips screen.

Can you attack it at any time once its below half health? Or does it have to be vulnerable from a disruptor shot as well?

Any time after it's half health. If you fly towards it in a Snowspeeder and it's at half health it'll say TOW CABLE under the icon and if you fly near it you'll see golden circles appear, fly through them and your tow cable will automatically fire and then you just keep flying through the golden circles til it goes down.

Gotcha, now I just need to get the points fast enough to get a snow speeder before someone else and survive long enough to attempt the takedown!

"On Tuesday, the 16th of January, Star Wars Battlefront II Patch 1.1 will go live across all regions and platforms. This update is both a client and server update. We expect roughly 30-45min of downtime per platform as the update rolls out across servers."

Hopefully that means matchmaking tweaks too.

Guys, these are the last hours of Wookie Warrior / Supercharged Sentry / brainless roll spam / CR-2 / Blurrg stupidity.

The game may actually begin to reward / require some level of skill after tomorrow's patch. The lightsaber heroes may actually behave like they're supposed to in a Star Wars game.

SAVOR IT

You are giving DICE too much credit before the patch even lands. Lets wait to see what they actually "fixed"

I mean if anything, they'll over-nerf those things. And I am 100% okay with that, because I have alternate weapons / abilities for those classes planned to use in case they do.

I just want to call in Vader and not have to run away from a single Wookie / Heavy.

I was so ready to spam the snowspeeder kills like the previous game.

Then I found out they turned it into my childhood nightmare: The quidditch sections from EA's PS1 Harry Potter game.

The enemy team has to be completely inept for you to get the snowspeeder kill on the ATAT. You have to fly so low and slow that a single heavy or sniper on the ground can take you down with absolutely minimal effort. It takes a long time for the Walker to actually go down.

I think I'm going to give the DC-15LE another go as the Heavy. The TL-50 just doesn't have the reliability at longer range that I need for the Walker / MTT assault maps. It's almost impossible for me to get into Ion disruptor range on Kashyyyk after Phase 1.

Isn't it standard procedure for DICE not to put patch notes out ahead of the actual patch?

I feel like they need to nail this patch. A lot of people are gonna leave the game if this patch doesn't fix a good amount of balance issues and bugs

This is $26 on GMG right now, super tempting. I'm worried about hackers and dwindling population on PC. It was impossible to find a game half the time in Australia after the first year in Battlefront 1.

This patch is probably just going to be small balance tweaks rather than anything significant.

Buy it. This game is incredible imo. Lootboxes/progression, some balance issues (that Dice hopefully will fix this week) and "weird" matchmaking aside, this is an exceptional game when it all comes together.
