Just hope that the other team has bad Hero Pilots.

Got mine in a few hours after realizing that the other team was pretty bad and lmost everyone stayed.

Yoda and the Falcon are easy kills. Just depends on lag. Lag can really steal your kills in SA.

Just need Torpedo Kills and Kill 30 Marked Heroes while Marked. As well as reach Level 50 for the Platinum.

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.
Adjusted down the sensibility a bit and it's much better. Now i'm returning to former glory it seems. Not sure if it was placebo or not.

I've had some success using the NT-242 as an anti-armor/air weapon, with the disruption shot mod anyway. If you're terrible at range like me though, the IQA is a lot more forgiving. Depending on the map, it's better to just contest the air yourself in a starfighter and armored vehicles can fend off airstrikes if they're not hit from directly above.

It's not even that hard to kill hero ships, even when there are good pilots. Especially slow ships like Falcon and Slave 1 or highly breakable ones like Yoda or the A-Wing. And most of the time they get focused by your allies anyways and you just need a bit of luck to get the kill-shot (or do assists also count?).

I'm such a dimwit, the HvV 50 kills trophy is just to get kills while you're marked and not the target?

Pretty sure I am super close to that... was worried I'd have to grind that one out forever.

Assists dont count.

Half of the time, lag prevented me from getting kills. Want to chase a Hero Ship?Nope. Suddenly moved to a head on collision with a Asteroid/side of the ship

Hero ships are not difficult to defeat.....they just have massive health pools most of the time and its sheer luck to get the final killing shot. Assists should count I think especially for that trophy. Has there been any new information from the dev team on when Season 2 will be starting or the ETA for a new patch?

Oddly, enough the Rey-Falcon went from being my least useful hero-ship to use, to one my favourite ones to use once you get the right Star Cards. She's useful if you're trying to get objectives while also being a tank thanks to the middle ability and some support cards.

Meanwhile, the Slave I's seismic charges are hilariously useful when done right. I love it, mostly when you're on the side where you need to sink a lot of enemy tickets.

Rey is a good tank with the middle starcard at max. I got this from my pre-order. But I miss Han's offensive power. Seismic charge is probably the single coolest/fun special move in the whole game. I love that one, already loved in Episode 2. Sadly that's all Slave I is good for, lol.

Yeah, would love for DICE to give me a reason to boot the game up again. Don't even have the energy or desire to play the one game to get my daily login crate.

Thank god for Division and PUBG keeping me busy, never thought I'd be too bored and burnt out of a Star Wars game but the constant lag and balance issues are just disheartening at this point.

Are the daily login crates taking a while to actually show up for anyone else? I usually log into the game in the morning for the daily crate but for a while now, it doesnt show up until I boot up the game later in the evening.

So, I was getting some weird lag last night in GA. Checked the server location and I was getting shuffled between Sydney (76ms), Hong Kong (178ms) and Dubai (500+ms). Cool...

It didn't seem to matter if I'd manually force it back to Australia but I guess once you're in a particular server instance you're just along for the ride, no matter where it takes you... I could've quit out to look for a local server but I was on the better team and you don't get off that train.

I'd like to say getting put in matches in Dubai was the fault of the game but I'm beginning to suspect its a PSN thing because Overwatch used to put me in matches with UAE players at night as well. Regardless of the game, I'd love to know how playing on a server literally on the other side of the world is considered good matchmaking? :|

But back on topic, I also started using the El-Hefe last night though I can't tell if I like it or not. I've only got the recoil mod so far but I find it underwhelming. Statistically, the A280 with similar unlocks seems like it'd be the better choice at most ranges, though I've never used it in MP. From what I've read, opinions are mixed but I've always liked burst rifles in other games (EE-3 in BF2015, AN-92 and M16A4/M4 in Battlefield, etc.), and the A280-CFE is a beast that's let down by the Specialist's lack of HP.

How do you check this on ps4?

Yeah, EA Account in the Options. By default, it should be your local but sometimes it mysteriously switches.

It was a problem in BF2015 as well. They patched it to allow forcing of local servers but, like so many other things in SWBF2, they went backwards or just plain left it out.

Its not ALWAYS the cause of the lag. All the DICE games I've played have had rubberbanding and hit detection problems to one degree or another but when the lag is particularly bad, the options menu says I'm not in Australia anymore...

At this point they should probably disable Palpatine until they can sort out the lightning-through-the-walls stuff.

the worst offender is kamino where palpatine can get on the floor above troopers on the last phases and kill them through the ceiling.

I stopped playing Battlefront II..

Largely becausse I want to tackle some of my Backlog.

I'm starting to step away too now that the season is over. Even with the lowered weapon unlocks, there's just way too much grind and poor reward distribution to keep up with the game while many of last year's best games and then some sit untouched.

FEELS BAD MAN.

So how is this game now? Specifically for PC?

I was tempted to purchase upon release, but all the negative press turned me away. Curious to know if the game is even worth getting at this point, or would I be sitting in matchmaking hell trying to find people to play with?

Neat. May log on tomorrow for the first time in almost a week to see if the new matchmaking fixed anything.

It's a great game. You can get it for cheap now, it's worth the money.
