Id be okay with mindless roll spam remaining unchanged if they upped lightsaber damage to be 1-hit kills on all classes. That's fair.

Heroes are already on the radar 100% of the time. If you have constant uninterrupted awareness of a hero's position + an invinci-roll get out of jail free card, you have no excuse getting killed by a hero that's limited to melee range.

Do that and keep them at 6-8K or just drop their cost to 3K. Either one is fair TBH

Did they have to drop the health of the last objectives on Crait? It's like a walk in the park for the First Order now.

Giant invisible hitbox that crashes starfighters on Starkiller Base is still there.

Goddamnit, whose brilliant idea was it to put that sitting duck Bunbker Buster in the Unknown Regions?

Did the devs not realize that the FO usually has the advantage on that map since Resistance fighters would crash a lot in the first phase?

Alright which one of you space Nazis were repping First Order during the season? I wish there was a progress bar or even checkpoints to tell us who don't ahead at various points.

Not a Space Nazi. I just chose the faction most likely to win.

Probably 3/4 of the posters in this thread repped the First Order

The team wearing the coolest armour will always win the faction wars, Clonetroopers will beat the Battledroids and Stormtroopers will beat the Rebels.

I'm gonna judge the game based on patch 2. I imagine with a month long certification they slapped this one together as fast a they could.

Bring on the fixes.

Agreed. Someone already linked earlier in the thread a tweet from one of the developers saying this patch had been put together before the break, so probably some sort of delay on their end + console manufacturer end. Now that we're back from holiday break and there's been plenty of time for feedback as well as for them to figure out how they're going to handle progression/lootboxes/etc the next update and patch is where the rubber hits the road for me and I imagine most folks.

If I remember correctly, BF2015 was in pretty rough shape until March-ish. I'm guessing that will be the case here too. At least we got free additional content with patches last time, and it looks like they're going to keep up that trend with BF2017.

Pretty much every Dice game is rough for a few month after they launch.

Has anybody noticed better drops in crates? Yesterday I opened 3 hero crates and got 1 green and 2 blues....which was pretty much unheard of in my experience before the patch. Has anyone else gotten better drops or did I just get lucky?

Wookies completely ruin Blast, I'm glad I only had to play 3 rounds for the timed challenge. I won the 2 rounds I got to play as Rebels/Resistance, and both times we were actually behind until people had enough points to get the Wookies, then you see an instant change in the direction the match was going lol.

I wonder who was the genius that thought adding them to Blast and Strike was a good idea.

It is the 2nd after the game was released, the patch I was referring to was not the obligatory Day 1 / launch patch.

It's fine though, I get what you're saying.

Also:

Thank. Fucking. God.

Really hope the next patch doesn't take another month.

If Bossk is okay then pretty much every other hero besides Palpatine and maybe Chewie needs a buff lol.

He's extraordinarily difficult to kill.

AS A HERO SHOULD BE

I just need one thing to be really really happy with this game and reopen swbfii.com.

Conquest.


Just give us Conquest already DICE! I don't care about further balancing and shit if we get that game mode.

Two things
1. Again I don't see any of the current maps being fit for this at all without a sizeable overhaul barring maybe Kashyyk and Mos Eisley

2. They'd need to either up the player count or shrink some map sizes.

I don't see why it wouldn't work as is.
There would be 3 to 4 points per map, depending on size.

All they have to do is put Capture Points in the Left, Right, and Middle of the Map.

Player Count should be 64. Like Battlefield 1. Doing Conquest with the amount of players right now wouldn't seem epic enough.

Yeah the issue with that is then it just becomes another meatgrinder mode because the flag placement is linear.

Yeah that first set of concerns + Kylo being too weak is pretty much prime concerns.
Surreal how those are literally the things that really need to be addressed and it's right there plain and simple

It might not work on all 12 maps, but I think a non-linear 3 to 5 flag spread would work for most, and with 40 players.

Crait, Hoth, Yavin IV, Kashyyyk, Mos Eisley, Starkiller Base, Kamino, and maybe Theed and Takodana.

Am I the only one here that has complained about Iden's droid stun?
Or do people not even play her?

That stun takes hours to execute. By the time it's halfway to the enemy, I killed them long ago.

The main thing that leaps out to me is the interior of Starkiller Base. I'm pretty familiar with it because I like to use to test loadouts with it in Arcade and the lighting seems to have been updated at the very least. They've also made changes like extra doors at choke points where there wasn't any before.

The lighting change is pretty cool, though some areas are darker, making enemies harder to see. I'm playing on an LG C7 in HDR Game Mode (no Dynamic Contrast, HDR brightness configured using in-game menu)

People don't seem to like her but she is (or was) kinda my favourite villain. Her TL-50 makes the Heavy's version seem like trash and after spending so much time playing Specialist lately, I love the way her pulse cannon seems to one-shot most troopers, even heavies with shields up (against bots at least, yet to test in GA against players). Charge it while unzoomed, line up target, zoom, fire, DEAD! lol!

I'm running cards for the pulse cannon and quicker bot recharge at the moment because the stun cards seemed to make the ability worse. i.e. the bigger search area seemed to make the bot take longer to find a valid target instead of less. They should just make it targetable like in the campaign.

Glad to see a combat roll effectiveness nerf may be on the way. Also, I wanted to play the new damn Crait map in Blast mode. 20+ matches and it hasn't come up yet the last two nights. Dammit.

The thing is that if I wanted to just fling shit at the enemy all the way to victory, I'd rather not be restrained by objectives.

It's definitely not everyone's thing, nor was it sound game design at times, but I dug that sort of chaos in 2015's Supremacy mode. There was a little more flexibility and less pressure.

I can see it working on that maps. It hasn't to be 32 vs.32, 20 vs.20 on tweaked smaller maps would work imo.
Dice could give us a Conquest mode without problems, since it is their big famous mode.
