I've been playing on PS4 for a couple of days and it was double XP the whole time, until late yesterday it became triple XP.
EDIT: Thanks Jag for the notice that Wednesday is a double XP day each week (though I'm sure I was only getting double XP on PS4 on Tuesday too).
All those special events sound abysmal lolWednesday is normally double xp day. It overwrote the triple xp. Happened last week as well. Kinda sucks. Should be back to triple today.

I think I saw a post from the always amazing F8RGE that they knew of the issue, but didn't have staff to address it over the holidays. They were going to recommend something to make up for it.
I loaded into a co-op game as the First Order but I got put on the Resistance while my teammates were all on the First Order. Does this happen sometimes in co-op?
It's been an issue since co-op was released. It's kinda fun, but also kind of aggravating.
Any new set of skins or emotes that come this year.
2020 is supposedly the year of Original Trilogy content. Plus some dark side hero skins have been teased.
Here's hoping for Robo-Legs Maul
OP
OP
I have been thinking about how core infantry combat has been put on the backburner these last two years. I believe that in order for this game to be really made great infantry combat needs some love this new year.
- New Blasters - I've said this before but we need new weapons. Whether it's just the default blasters made into full weapons or what, we need more.
- Soldier Movement - Soldiers are a bit sluggish compared to the 2015 SWBF. I think that strafing speed (moving left and right without turning) should be increased and overall non-sprint speeds should be upped a little bit. Possibly add the vaulting system from Battlefield to help with obstacles if possible.
- Recoil and Accuracy Penalties - I think that accuracy penalties for shooting while strafing, moving forward/backwards, and while firing from the hip should be removed. This would make it more like the 2015 game where player positioning was king. It would give soldiers more overall mobility and a greater ability to cope with heroes and reinforcements.
- Field of View - This isn't an issue on PC but on console the default infantry field of view is rather small. Reinforcements and heroes have a much wider FoV. I propose adding a toggle in the options that let's you set the infantry FoV to match that of the Reinforcements or to keep it the same if you prefer that.
I wish there was a penalty for people quitting HvV early. More than half my matches always have someone leaving when we are down. Get fucking better and hold your L with us, its how you learn.
I will never understand why people don't stay together in HvV. Usually the team that sticks together wins. There is never any reason to run in opposite directions. Wish more people knew this.
All my losses could be amounted to no one sticking together tbh
What time does the triple XP end? And is it still tomorrow or are they extending it a day or two due to not actually being 3x for a day or two recently?
Phasma is soo fun to use in co-op. Just place the sentry droid between the command post and the enemy entry points, and then shoot at the poor bots who get trapped lol
Pro tip: on the last attack phase on Jakku, when going up the stairs from the spawn point, go right instead of left. You'll eventually reach the command post, but the CPU won't have the high ground and you can easily flank them.
I can't wait for OT maps, I love co-op
It's disappointing there's no warning that someone is trying to spawn on you, as happens in Battlefield. So many times I try to spawn on someone and by the time the spawn timer hits zero they've already entered combat and then I can't. There's a chance they'd stay in cover a couple of seconds more if they knew backup was coming.
So I just picked this up last night. Seems like a great game so far to just have a bit of crazy fun and get lost in Star Wars sounds and visuals.
Question though -I've leveled up the assault class and have a few skill points but the game won't let me unlock any skill cards. Do I have to "find" or buy the skill cards before I can then use skill points to unlock them?

The game will not let you unlock any cards during a match for some reason.
You need to do it before a match starts or from the main menu.
Sweet thanks! I was worried it was long dead by now. Really looking forward to jumping back in. I had so much fun playing it back in the day. Hoping it still holds up.
You have to be a certain level for some star cards to unlock. I believe they are levels 12, 15 and 20?
I was thinking about upgrading to the Celebration Edition, since I got the game for 5€ used and wanted to support the devs a little. It's even on sale at the moment (17€)
I'm enjoying alternative skins for heroes and troops, but the grind is real and crystals cost too much.
I only wish you could buy TLJ Rey skin

The star cards don't really affect how powerful your guns are though. Are you low level and don't have stuff unlocked? The basic starter weapons are pretty shit compared to what you unlock by playing, so for newer players I can see they feel extra crappy at the game because it sucks that you can't upgrade or do anything with those base weapons.
You can unlock most of the trooper cards really fast in Co-Op against AI. Those kills also count for gun unlocks (I'm pretty sure they do).
Star Cards shouldn't really affect how strong your guns are. Honestly it's mostly experience. I used to suck against other players until I got a decent amount of play time in.
Seconding the co-op recommendation. You level up like crazy in that mode, and it's fast enough that you'll both learn how to play effectively and clean up on experience.
Oh I remember, I bought Obi and Grievous the month before they became free lol. 35k each IIRC
So apparently the 25 headshots trophy doesn't count in co-op. Weird because all other online trophies do
I've read that it tracks, but only triggers in MP. So you could get 24+ in coop then go to MP and get 1. Maybe.
Ended up getting it earlier today in a GA match on Hoth. Great map for sniping. Didn't pay attention if it unlocked at the very first headshot though.
Now I need the starfighting trophies and the damn Vanguard trophy.
Decided to give this a shot after hearing about it some on the Bombcast and Giant Beastcast. I haven't really enjoyed a Dice Battlefield-style game since 1943... but damn I really love this game. I've never been a huge Star Wars fan, but this game is kinda actively making me like Star Wars more (though I still think the aliens look dumb). I've spent the last handful of evenings just chilling on my couch playing it for multiple hours which is incredibly rare for me to do with a shooter.
I've mostly been sticking to the co-op mode. I tried a single PvP match after a few days of co-op and got decimated. 0 kills, it felt like i'd insta-die if I got even remotely close to the battle areas. I love the co-op though so i'm not bothered much. General Greivous is a lot of fun to play, but it feels like every time I spawn as him that damn goblin Yoda shows up and obliterates me. He has my number.

I got the Platinum in the first game, but I'll have to pass in this one. Even with a lot of playing at triple and double XP, it's a slog to 50. And those Starfighter mode trophies also look like quite the grind, in a mode I don't enjoy in the first place. I can't complain at all about the value I got from the $6 or whatever it was I spent.
Getting Hero Ship kills as a starfighter was really hard
Its absurd how they didnt launch with it. It always feels like every update is unfinished in some way.
