Oh man just had some of the best GA games ever. Yoda is such a beast now, called him in Phase 1 of DSII and kept him all the way til the win, killed a Palpatine, cleared a hallway with Unleash. Went beast mode with Ren and Vader too. Saber heroes finally feel right

The third card I use on GA is to increase max health but if I'm playing HvV I swap it out for the more lightsaber damage card.

So I just bought this game a started playing it...

Good lord the guns SUCK to start with.

They do so little damage that I think I'd do more damage throwing a rock at them instead of shooting them. It's taken FOREVER to get the 50 kills needed to just update the gun.

There's no reason that it should take so many shots to down an opponent.



I absolutely hate how they do powerups in this damn game. That's a damn shame because I loved the first game.

It's tough to get started with the lame progression system that they launched with, but they are in the process of changing/tweaking it which should hopefully make it much better. Stick with it, and know that we've all felt your pain lol

If you can stick with it, the game is actually quite alot of fun. They've made a ton of progress since it's launch state and they're still working on it, but i hear you.....i feel like i've been level 18 for 5 years now. The current progression system is horrible.

The weapons just all feel so damn weak. There's no impact to anything.

I agree with you, but when you managed to unlock the modifications for them, you'll notice a big improvement. The Blurrg, for example, is capable of bursting down Specialists with just body shots. Throw in a headshot there and there go the Assault and Officers. Another headshot in the mix, which isn't particularly hard, and you'll drop even Heavies in a single burst.

If you're defending points just hang out at the bottleneck, absorb shots, unleash when it's built up, retreat back and let unleash cool down then repeat.

I played some last night finally and it's definently better. But it's still fucking annoying to have so many heroes in GA.

Heroes should be disabled for the first phase and limited to 2 at most instead of the 4 at the final stage now.

I think it should just be two heroes for all phases.

More than that, it turns into clusterfuck for the last phase on certain maps.

I seem to be one of the lucky folk, as all my jetpack matches have been less than 15 minutes.

Any weirdos like me who just play way more Starfighter Assault than anything else? I still get a huge kick out of that mode.

Kind of wish I still had more friends playing this these days. When I do play with friends HvZ is insanely fun.

Need to jump in this weekend and try Jet Cargo since it sounds like it's pretty fun

Nothing special. Had all gray cards... mode is ok. But nothing i would play often. One round ended after like 4 mins. Other team didnt know what hit them.. hahah

Played GA after that. Map was naboo. One guy played with the senate and had 92 kills.... its really lame. They should make a GA mode without heroes. Its a joke. They still lost :) but it was lame. Second was maul with like 60 kills. Our best had like 25

The extra credit boost from dupes in crates is pretty noticeable; blew threw another 100k on Hero crates and I was getting 900-1200 back on most crates (occasionally more or less) which means crates are effectively only costing me around 1-1.2k for an average of 42ish crafting parts. I didn't keep track of the number of crates or anything, but going from right at 100k credits down to zero netted me a total of about 3800 crafting parts which is a respectable bump over what 100k was getting me before. Finalized all of my Hero equipped loadouts and bumped all 3 cards up to Rare, which as a result got all of my Heroes up to Epic level overall which is nice I guess?

Did some napkin math and I'll need around 115k credits to get enough crafting parts to do the same for all of my Hero ships. Wonder if I can get back up to that before they announce progression changes lol.

Edit: Also how in the fuck have I spent probably 500k+ on Hero crates and I'm still missing 21 fucking Hero Emotes. Dice pls

Hey, if you can't beat em, join em. Been calling in more heroes than ever with exploding DC-15LE + bounty hunter + improved shields.

Feels less cheap than pre-patch Palpatine TBH. Easily accessible by both teams.

Classic DICE to fix some things but at the same time break new things.

If only it was DICE-LA doing the post release content for this game.

The explosive shot is supposed to overheat faster and fire slower than default mode.

This patch broke it so it overheats and fires at the same rate as the default mode, so it's like having Supercharged Sentry on all the time. Kills everything insanely fast.

It's funny how easy it still is to roll dodge and take out people with Han and Bossk. It took a bit to adjust to the timing difference in roll dodging, but as of a few nights ago, I think I have it down. I'm consistently dominating Maul, Rey, etc. Hopefully they don't reduce the dodge window further.

Just logged into this for the first time in a while on the X. Is it me or has this game taken a substantial graphical downgrade? Jaggies and shimmering everywhere on Jakku and looking at old footage they definitely weren't there at launch or when I last played. Anyone else noticed this?

When you're Vader and three players at once can't kill you.



Backup did arrive to help at the end though. But imagine if I had three Epic star cards.

I don't think anyone from the Light side can take him on one-on-one, while he can certainly hold his own against more then one Hero opponent.

What cards do you use for Vader? I use the health boost, damage reduction boost, and the health on kill.

Havent played in several days, but seeing the posts here lately, the consensus seems to be that now the Heroes are way overpowered? Great.
