Anyone else notice a slight graphical boost on the Pro? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
Definitely not your eyes playing tricks. Fired it up on my Pro for the first time in a few days since the recent patch, and all the levels i played looked alot sharper. Noticeably so. Even the menus when you first turn the game on seemed sharper to me. Was very pleasently surprised.
Now if they could just fix the loading times after leaving matches, and tighten them up in general.....sigh.....
Yeah, I liked Supremacy in BF2015 because it was a good mix for me personally of just letting me murder but with an objective slant which I like.
Also the Leia thing doesn't surprise me; on wide open maps she is a fucking beast (I can ride the AT-AT on Endor with her for the entire 2nd phase and rack up 50+ kills pretty easy) just like the Emperor is in closer range/indoor maps. I think the difference is probably more people are picking the emperor who just aren't good with him or at bad times, whereas Leia is kind of slept on and I feel like 90%+ of the time if someone has picked Leia they know what's up and are good with her.
On a separate note I was in a game last night where a goddamn Bossk player got 156 kills. He may have literally been the best player I've ever seen, even as a hero I just couldn't get a bead on him at all. It was fucking wild.
I'd love it if they add Supremacy in the game. But I'm still not sure how it would play with the linear nature of the GA maps.
Good, her alt-fire is a joke. I was aiming at a guy, missed, and accidentally took out someone in cover like 20 feet behind him. It was hilarious.
it was a mode in Battlefront 2015 where there was like 5 points on the map. The match begins with the two sides vying for the middle point. Whoever controls all the points wins.
edit: example:
No lies detected. I suck with heroes for the most part (I dont really like playing as them) but when I do play as them, I pick Leia and do some serious work.
I haven't played as Bossk much but I have had a 42 killstreak with him before. I'm not sure he needs a nerf per se as I don't think any of his abilities are overpowered. It's the fact he can regain all of his HP no matter how low it gets that elevates him a little too much. His HP regen essentially means that in the hands of a good player (barring some really bad luck situation) he is almost impossible to kill, even with other heroes since he has pretty good mobility as well.
If you aren't paying attention to your radar and are unaware of how invincible rolling makes you, maybe.
More often, you roll through every strike and force power while spamming prox mines and Dioxis gas and then float jump to safety lol
OP
OP
Yeah, him getting full health back is the only thing that I would say is OP about him; in BF2015 you got health back based on kills which I think would be more appropriate here. Give him the usual health regen that heroes have but let him full on heal up natively via kills as opposed to needing a card for it like other heroes. With his low HP pool I think that would be fair and is probably the only change I would make to him honestly.
On a related note did this last patch fix his heat vision being outright broken/not working on certain maps? For the most part I don't spawn as heroes anymore but I stopped using him altogether because that was an issue on some maps.
Honestly just want Battlefield 1's Conquest in Star Wars. Dont really have to worry about tickets until the end where it actually matters when capturing matters to break a tie. Of course, Ill gladly take Supremacu if Conquesy cant happen
Im glad I wasnt the only one noticing his Heat Vision doesnt work sometimes.

Supremely was designed for narrow maps. This let them make use of Walker Assault maps without having to widen the play area. Most GA maps are long and narrow, which is actually perfect for Supremecy.
Conquest might actually require new maps, because GA, like WA, tends to be a fairly narrow game mode.
Tatooine, Yavin, and Jakku would be decent for Conquest. Endor, Hoth, and Kashyyk would be much better in Supremecy.
I hope they add both, but I bet they'll do Supremaxy over Conquest if they only add one.
I will go out and buy $60 worth of Crystals if they actually add a true Conquest mode. I feel like that is wildly unlikely. Like <1% chance of happening.
I don't see the company behind the TLJ Season and the patch we just had putting that much effort into the game.
Would love to be proven wrong.
I can see Supremacy happening because it can be easily tacked on to existing maps. Conquest would require major map design and sandbox changes. I don't realistically see that happening.

yeah you're right. After I made that post I realized that these maps would be difficult for conquest not supremacy and that I misspoke. Supremacy seems like an actual mode they could put in the game and have it work. But yeah like you said, for something like conquest, they would have to redo the maps entirely. I think outa the maps you mentioned, Mos Eisley would perhaps be the easiest to implement conquest. Not sure about the other ones. Also I'm not holding my breath for something like that.
Another mode they could put in would be something like Rush. Or basically Walker Assault but without the walkers. I think that could work too. Game needs more modes for the big maps!
and blasters, maps, customization, hero skins, ships, green milk, cards, new progression system, yada yada yada
So it's not just me! Came here to pose the same question. There's a definite improvement in image quality that seems to go beyond the lighting changes mentioned before the update dropped.
So a player ended 154-2 playing with palpatine on kamino. On the second to last objectives he electrocuted us from the above through the ceiling right by the trooper spawn.
On the last objective he went outside the map and standed right by the objective and electrocuted anyone that tried to get near it.
How come no one at dice noticed the lightning went trough walls? Or is it intentional,

I messaged him about how lame was to play that way and he replied with his "record". He also had an "avoid me" on his xbox profile.
There will probably be some Solo related content I would think. But that's not until may. Between now and then is anybody's guess.
Aiming feels a little bit different now postpatch.. wrecked people with infiltrator ability of the specialist before, but now i'm shit.. rockettrooper the same. It is weird, i have to look at sensibility settings. It feels definitely different or maybe just placebo?
Anyone else feels the same?

Straight after the patch dropped I was getting kills with an unmodded SE-44C that I wasn't before. I had assumed it was either a) I'd been put in matches against players not as good as the usual ones I faced, or b) the Blurrg and CR-2 nerfs were enough that I was surviving 1v1's better. So, if its not placebo, it worked out in my favour. ;)
Sometimes matches can feel off, like I'm shooting rubber bullets but getting 1-shotted in return. Used to feel that way in BF2015 sometimes too. Its probably lag, particularly when you don't exactly where the server you're playing is located. e.g. I seem to play matches with a lot of Japanese players. Are they joining Australian servers or are we playing on theirs? Who knows? Either way, it'd suck for those with the 200ms+ connection since blaster bolts are projectile-based with a travel time.
Can't tell you how happy I am that I hit it right before the patch dropped
They need to remove the ability of star fighters to inflict any damage on troopers. It's so annoying trying to play ground objectives while being constantly bombarded from above. And really there's no way to effectively counter these attacks from the ground, at least to my knowledge.
Although it rarely happens to me for some reason, if it does I just jump in a fighter myself and get rid of them.
I thought that was the point of aerial support. You either have to rely on someone else on your team to competently counter or you do it yourself. Or a vehicle.
IQA-99. Eats ships for breakfast and you get tons of points.
Sometimes the option isn't available, which makes me wonder what my team is doing to counter enemy air support.
I don't mean gunships but interceptors, bombers, fighters, etc.
Nice, I'll have to keep that in mind though I imagine it would be somewhat difficult to try and snipe fast-moving ships.
it's the only trophy i need for the plat, i'm pretty sure i'm not going to get it because all i play is Heroes vs Villian
