I'm hoping a patch comes that removes heroes from all modes except hero modes. Even now, still way too overpowered, and one of the main reasons i haven't been playing.

Since the recent patch I cannot enter any game. As soon as it starts to load the lobby I crash to desktop.

At this point I don't even care enough to reinstall it. I just hope the next patch fixes it.

If you paid $10-15 for it you'll get your money's worth.

Any more than that .... :S

I paid $30 at launch and I feel ripped off lol

It's a fun game. Enjoy!

I got my copy in March just before they redid the progression system. I've rarely switched discs since I got it. My younger brother and I have played it a ton.

this is more reassuring. I spent the weekend on BF1943 and after reading about this game having improved since launch, I wanted to give it a try.

People love to bitch. Honestly though, the game is a lot of fun when it all clicks but there are a lot of annoyances that keep that from happening on a consistent basis: team balancing being first and foremost IMO. The moment to moment gameplay is still good and enjoyable and you should have a good time with it.

My 2nd biggest gripe right now is the game ALWAYS freezing if you try to quit between matches but before the next map loads up.

Considering Solo has a literal WW1 style planet and battle in it (in mostly fog, no less), it should have been a super easy to thing to make and put on this game.

I'm guessing it'll be Kessel for next month. I wouldn't mind any the other planets in the film tbh. Even Vandor. I know we already have a snowy map but it would be dope if it was different elevations in the mountains a la Monte Grappa in BF1. Perhaps even have the Crimson Dawn yacht in the map.

Of course none of this is happening cause that would be too good of a concept. Lol. Still, I'm curious what's coming next month.

Here, duh.
Ok, so I was playing HvV with Phasma. Just barely started level 18, finished the match, and the counter at the end failed to show. So I exited back to the main menu. When I got back, not only did absolutely no progress happen for her, my Finn somehow got docked 4 levels.

Anyone experience anything similar ?

It isn't that much of a problem, as Finn got to keep his cards, but it's a dangerous precedent, as there are a handful of characters I'm still working on getting to 25, and I'd be a little pissed if I lost that much progress.

Here, duh.
Update: Just got back home and fired it up to find that Finn's levels have been restored, but now several hero characters, hero ships, and troopers have had cards reduced to the first tier (including ALL cards for Luke, Vader, Boba Fett, and Darth Maul), and the regular class ships have had a few cards RELOCK despite being over the required level.

I'm fucking livid!

EDIT: Parts and crystals have also zeroed out.

As a casual player (of this and games in general these days) I appreciate being able to just play the odd arcade round of the Starfighter mode now that my PS+ has expired. It feels so good to me.

I expect to crash into debris half the time in Starfighter Assault. It's going to be much worse in Starfighter Hero Showdown

That leak is about par for the course for a game that has a couple of unpaid interns left working on it.

Hopefully doesn't break too much more given that the hotfix already broke an entire hero and made a bunch of people lose a shitload of ranks and progression lmao

AAA quality!

Starfighter Hero Showdown only sound appealing to me because it's likely to be the first viable way to level your goddamn hero ships.

I still want team rebalancing more than anything else right now, tired of running into full tryhard parties in HvV and GA.

The biggest issue that kills my fun with this game is the team balancing. I really hope they are addressing this in the next patch. Its pretty tiresome to get on teams 5-6 times in a row that lose at the first stage of GA or Ive been on a team thats actually lost as the clones on Kamino.

2/3 of my play time has been Hero Showdown since its launch. I haven't gotten tired of it yet and I don't expect I will for quite some time. I really need more practice with Starfighter Assault though. It's my favorite mode but I do pretty poorly in it more often than not. That surprises me -- I was best at it in Battlefront 2015. I guess it makes sense though. It's really great this time so tons more people are devoting time to improving their skills.

It was the same for me when I first started playing Starfighter Assault, but when I switched to legacy controls it immediately clicked again.
And Hero Showdown can indeed be a ton of fun. I almost wish they'd put in a lightsaber only 1v1 mode. Had some really intense saber fights when it came down to the last two players.

Uh, the way combat currently works, lightsaber 1vs1 fights are basically staring contests and the first player that stops blocking loses.

Nice. I had a fun moment last night, one of my rare (so far!) true accomplishments, where my partner fell and it was me as Rey up against Vader and Kylo and I got lucky with a lightsaber charge (forget what it's called, the vault-forward technique) and knocked them both off-balance long enough to kill them before they could regain their composure.

I'll check out legacy controllers for starfighters!

Imagine if lighsaber vs lightsaber combat was more like how it looks in this glitch, instead of how it really works:

Maul is also pretty much boned against any other lightsaber user too when doing 1v1.
Use the spin attack to get in behind hit them and then when they turn around do it again, it's the only thing he can do really.

Turtling is a big problem with the way the lightsaber combat works and I don't get why they haven't fixed it yet. It's not like it needs a dramatic overhaul there are a few fixes that would make it a lot better:
  • Lower the blocking radius so you can only block from directly in front of you.
  • If you just hold down block and you get hit it should take a massive chunk off your stamina and shouldn't cause the opponent to stagger.
  • Add in a new mechanic where you cause your opponent to stagger only if you quickly press block just before they hit you.
