Ok. But it still isn't final. Which means it isn't worth getting freaked out over just yet.

Geez, they really are gender locking the classes huh?
Ugh it'll do I guess.
If nothing else the new system is encouraging me to play everyone because I'm OCD and want to level people up, so I'm running Specialist on some maps instead of Heavy for AT-AT/MTT damage, and instead of spawning as a hero (except specific teams/maps) I'm just spawning in as Special Units to get level them up and actually use them for the first time since the game came out pretty much lol. It's interesting.
BF1 had some pretty decent customization for a game everyone complained about being shallow. This looks pretty mediocre, but it's a start. Hopefully they add to it over time.
I'm just glad this means they may start finally adding decent content to the game instead of spending their time working on something the game should have launched with.
Just installed the update and I thought a message poped saying I received a skill point? Just don't know in what character. Anyone?

Wow, just did a HvV match and got zero fucking kills as the Villains while a fucking Yoda got like 20 kills on the other team. What the hell?

I think that Yoda honestly for a stealth buff in lightsaber damage. Honestly if anyone needed a buff it's Luke.
I wish that Heroes vs Villains was just a team deathmatch with more than 4v4. I'm starting to see Lukes who just run away when the target because he is such a fast character.
And this patch still does nothing to address how much of an unbalanced mess Galactic Assault is. Heroes, specifically Palpatine and Yoda are nigh undefeatable as troopers unless they are exceptionally bad. Half the maps still boil down to tiny chokepoints. Unless they add Conquest I can't see myself playing this much again.

So after the patch I go in, open reward crates, check Bespin out in arcade, then look at the timed emote challenge and say, "Ok let's do this." Go into hvv, join match in 10 seconds, choose my hero, then "waiting for players: 3" for five minutes. Why???
I don't get it. They buff a monster like Leia and Kylo is still garbage in GA? Really hope they put out a health on kill card for him soon, that and his TFA gear with the hood down or TLJ with a mask, seems low enough effort to do.
But what the.. classes are still gender locked?

They get converted to skill points in April, when the customization drops.
I like the new update, except there's a glitch with the Interceptor class—one of my blues got converted to a green. On the official forums, I guess this is happening to a lot of folks.
Also, I got wrecked in HvV. I guess all the pros went online last night.

HvV has been taken over by Iden Versio. Never thought I'd say that. I saw that she was buffed (and rightly so to an extent) but Jesus hell. As if the villains needed another advantage, now they have the ability to freeze all heroes from long distance for a time so long that there's no hope to survive.
In 90% of the matches I played Iden would freeze you from 50 yards away and if there wasn't already another villain next to you, she could easily mow you down with her default firing mode. It's like Chewie's shock, but lasts twice as long.
Bespin is absolutely glorious. Haven't tried GA yet.

Yeah, she's a fucking beast. Got completely blown out by Iden pretty much solo yesterday. Yeesh.
I only had a little bit of time last night to check the patch out and it seems good. They really need some type of team balancing in GA though. I played 2 matches of Crait and my team was defending first match and took out the ATAT's with ease, then on attackers side we pushed through to victory in what seemed like record time. It was boring. I left the lobby, played around with some cards and opened my dozen emote crates, joined for some more GA matches and this time I was on the other end for 2 matches on Takodana. Not fun. I'm hoping this is just new/returning player issue, but I'll see when I have more time to play and get a bigger sample size.
Also just realized I lost my Purple level Elite Pilot card in the update, purple got transferred to some other shitty card I don't use, FFS
Do I re-upgrade my Elite pilot manually or wait a month for DICE to get off their asses and fix. Hmmmmmm

Jetpack Cargo sticks out as a bad mode even worse now since you can't make any progress whatsoever while playing it. It doesn't count towards your Aerial xp and it doesn't even count towards the new 60 second jetpack challenge. Outside of timed challenges it serves no function.
Gotcha, I was worried because playing as Finn in HvV, I literally had no recourse when a saber user would get close. I get that saber users should be powerhouses in close quarters but it was basically to the point where I might as well put down my controller.
One nice thing since the update, my Pro fans dont get loud anymore when the matches are loading showing the planet in the background. Must have been a rendering bug before.
Heroes should 100% be restricted to HvsV. So tired of getting wasted by overpowered heroes or villians in GA mode, really ruining the game for me. They need to go, or be set back again on a timer.
That and these assholes that get in vehicles and just run people over. Go fuck yourself with a rusty butterknife.

Maul's saber throw is completely busted + the speed on ranged heroes.
This will be fixed next month, SMH.

Not more than usual :-)
Yeah, it's not very well thought out. And to add to that: one of the new Leia challenges requires us to complete 5 full matches (and probably even more, because it's highly likely that the tracking is bugged again). Hope the can and will put in a timer and that it can be done server side.
This. It should be timed to 15 minutes per round and in case of a draw overtime.
Yeah I was trying to play as him last night in HvV and noticed I wasn't hitting shit with it. I saw it was on their known bugs list but I just don't get how they can put out a patch that straight up breaks a hero.
So it isn't any better?
What are they actually doing?
I'm still having a great time with the game, but I mostly play Blast and Starfighter Assault. Those modes are in great shape imo, now everything is working as intended. It all feels pretty balanced and spawns are actually better than ever (which was a big problem in Blast). And the new progression system is pretty great so far.
Agreed. We just need more maps now. And some more DS Hero ships.
God I hope it doesn't take a whole month to fix broken Maul throw, blaster hero speed, black screen starfighters on Kamino
But it's totally gonna take a fucking month

Jumped back in last night. Had a good time as before. Is there a better feeling that using laser barrage on infantry? All those little bleeps as you get kills maaaaaaan
I played for the first time yesterday and the day before. Managed to beat the original storyline. It was nice overall and very visually gorgeous. Some parts were not fun though - like that entire Lando sequence was just... bleh. I was not expecting that ending chapter. I still need to play through the second part of the storyline where everyone is older though. Overall I liked having an Imperial presence in this new canon and getting to see first hand what happened with the war until it finally ended. I loved the choices they made with Luke's character even if the model and voice actor looked/sounded nothing like him.
Heroes vs Villains is still so much fun. That was the mode I exclusively played for the first Battlefront game. Finn, Vader, and Luke are my favorites so far.
I played a level on Kashyyyk and used force push as Luke and knocked four people off the tree and to their early demise dskljfsdkjf I felt like such a badass.

I was once fighting Kylo Ren one on one as Rey once, and considering we were fighting near that elevator on Death Star II and Rey had a kick maneuver, this is literally what happened.
Despite the regular frustrations, HvV does have its moments.
Was wondering the same thing myself. Bespin especially looks very clean
Anyone else just leave the server when Jakku comes up in GA? Don't remember the last time I played a game where one of the maps was such an irredeemable pile of shit. Would be in the game's best interest if they just deleted it and reworked a Jakku map from scratch.
