Star Wars Battlefront II |OT| The Circle is Now Complete

Parts of it remind me of the arcade mode Endor map from BF2015. I wonder if that's what it is.
I'm hoping that since they done a 180 on other stuff in regards to BF2, that there's a chance they'll backtrack on that too.
It has to be a hit with a basic lightsaber Attack. It can't be a lightsaber-based skill, like Luke and Yoda's rush abilities.
If you're playing on PS4, it only counts if you attacked using the R2 button. I don't know what the equivalent keybinding would be on PC.
It's stupid, but it's been this way since launch.
Oh crap. I just tried it. You're right. The challenge is completely broken.
Gah, this game!
Because they couldn't fix the atrocious load times and slowed down the only thing that used to load fast instead!
Maybe the new update will remove the yellow markers on the Collection page that, since the last update, won't disappear...
They're all broken.
I've never seen a single challenge track properly.
Not once for me.
It would always take a game or 2 to even start tracking.
Then I would specifically grind that challenge gamr after game only to see like 20% of what I'd done actually show up.
I think the yellow mark criteria is to blame.
If I can recall, you have to hover over the new cards/things that got unlocked to get rid of them.
Thing is, the recent updated unlocked all of them. So you have to do each thing one by one. It worked for me at least, but I haven't done it with every single character cuz aint nobdy got no time for dat
There is sometimes a delay in the tracking. So you might have to play another game or login again so that your rewards show up.
Man that is such a disappointing update. The next season is going to be Solo as well which I have little interest in.
Think i'm done.
Think i'm done.
Maybe they will put Woody Harrelson in the game? :O

Personally I am super hyped for the potential of a Solo season, third Falcon and all XD
The Challenge I find hilarious is the "Destroy 10 ships with the Bomber Class" one. Why? Because 1/3 of the maps have NO BOMBERS. And those were the maps I kept getting yesterday. I love Starfighter Assault, but the New Trilogy maps NEED, NEED, NEED bomber class ships on them.
Also, as for the yellow marks, those are because of the customization elements that haven't been implemented yet. Notice that you can get rid of the yellow marks on the Heroes that have multiple skins, but not on those that don't. It's because that menu exists, but is hidden and those yellow marks will only go away once you can visit their skins tab.
It's baffling, since it's not The Last Jedi had an entire action sequence with Resistance Bombers in it or anything.
They pulled the same trash on BF 2015 with not letting people fly TIE Bombers, Y-Wings, B-Wings, and the other fighters they had in the game but they decided to make AI ships for no reason.
Blame Lucasfilm for not creating any viable resistance and first order bombers. The resistance bombers from TLJ are too big to work the same way as the other bombers. Maybe DICE could scale them down or create their own versions, but they would need approval from LF to do so.
This is so insanely stupid. Battlefront was a ripoff of Battlefield originally and it's not like using the same game mode is a rip off, Christ.
seen multiple videos on reddit about this. it happens but im not clear if its a bug or someone cheating

I got killed by Kylo Ren doing a Saber Throw last night... well, that's what the kill window told me, anyway.
Also the amount of purple cards floating around is staggering. People left right and center all just maxed out. Oof.

I may be in the minority here, but i hope if there is ever a Battlefront 3, that they keep Heros 100% out of matches with the exception of specialized hero only modes. I just feel they're all too powerful in their current forms, and they really need to be in the model of how they were before where you only have them for a set time and then they go away (for non Hero only matches). Far too many matches where Heros run rampant and noone can kill them and it just pisses me off to no end.
I'd rather just have them only in Hero only modes. Full Rebel vs Empire matches should be decided by the various ground troops, commanders, etc....to me that is more of a true battle to me as opposed to a one sided shitfest when someone gets a hero and runs rampant because theyre too powerful. Just my 2 cents....

in my experience no one really commits to kill them. if i get killed by vader i change to heavy and blast his face with the explosive turret or the detonite. but people dont even commit to objectives sometimes so you need at leat 2 or 3 people trying to take down a hero. its doable. also blaster heroes get melted pretty fast if they are careless. ive been killed as bossk with 3/4 of health wih a single thermal detonator.
Heroes are super cool. I love how they can totally change the flow of a battle. Running into a room with a hero leading the charge is super cool!
Super. Cool. Man!
Super. Cool. Man!
I will agree that there should be a large-scale, zero heroes mode though. Seems like a nice compromise.
Since all DLC and maps will be free, we should be able to have more playlists than we currently have. The user base will never be split, so why not have a Starfighter Assault HvV mode as well as a Hero-less Ground Assault mode? And a permanent Hunt mode that shifts between Ewoks, Gungans, Geonosians, Porgs, whatever. By comparison, Battlefront 2015 had 113 different modes split between the base game and 4 DLCs...
Game just needs more modes on the larger maps. Period. At this point, I could care less what it is. What would be nice, if it was points that needed to be taken like supremacy or conquest or even turning point from the first game. Come on.
Some people on reddit are saying that it might be tonight at 2AM EST/11PM PST.
Updates are usually very early morning, like 2-5amish US time so that sounds about right.
I'm not gonna lie, even as probably the biggest player of the game on here I haven't done anything other than login for for the daily crate and the 1500 arcade credits every day for a while now, I'm not even doing the easy daily challenges. Fortnite and other games are just way more compelling and have better support. I literally cannot believe they haven't even mentioned when stats are coming to the game in months, it's absurd.

Lando feels super underrated in HvV, I went on an absolutely ridiculous tear with him last night. I don't think I lost a 1v1 with a saber hero the whole match and my cards are pretty garbage on him.
On another note - is this the update where my parts get converted to points? I'm gonna have like 30 points to dump into guys and I am super itching to get on that shit.

My quick napkin math puts it at 460k credits for all of the Trooper skins and 225k for all of the Hero skins. My ~250k credits barely put a dent in it and I probably have significantly more credits than the average player does lol.
The prices are actually pretty reasonable in real money; the most expensive things are the Hero Epic skins which are the equivalent of ~$10 in real money. I'd definitely argue that some of the skins shouldn't be Epic buuuuut on paper at least that's alright.

So what's the deal then? You can but skins outright with your credits. Are there still loot crates? Can these skins drop randomly in these crates or nah?
