They get a green tint on endor and a yellow one on tattoine, lighting is pretty cool in this game.

You sure that isn't PBR lighting? Like Bastables said, on Endor, there is a slight green tint--makes sense, given the light bouncing off all the green.

Tried that. Everyone is an awing and they are impossible to shoot down. How this get through testing is beyond me.
Yeah, when you go into the bunkers the green tint is no longer evident so it's obviously all the light bouncing off the leaves.

dont understand why they dont use all settings in a mode instead of one of 3 . Endor has "night", daylight and rain.
Right now this would help to mix it up a bit with the 4 maps in supremacy.

Daylight needs to be patched in for surpremacy (Endor). I can't see anyone from the rebels.
It is both annoying and pointless. A single grenade can kill multiple people or force people to take cover, and can be used indirectly, etc. The Ion Torpedo is incredibly useful if there are vehicles or turrets in play. The Pulse Cannon is a sniper. Every frigging thing but the homing shot is actually useful.
The homing shot? It can kill one guy at most, and is mostly useful on Hoth since that map has larger open areas than other maps. The rocket is reasonably easy to avoid if you know where it is coming from. It cannot be even locked on vehicles!
It is a weapon for fools. Anyone with some semblance of skill and sense uses anything else than it.
EDIT That said, i think it should be nerfed still, since it obviously won't be removed. Increase lock-on time by up to two seconds.
Too bad i can't sell it, it was a waste of credits.

Hahaha, I love seeing people rage over the homing missile.
They are so easy to dodge. If there's any balance I think they need, is a slightly longer lock on time. As you can get a missile off just before you die to someone jumps that on you, netting you a kill regardless of whether you die or not.

I use the homing missile all the time on Hoth. It's a great a weapon and I already made a lot of kills with it. Since it's also easily avoidable I don't think it should be nerfed
Yup.
The impact grenade needs some kind of nerf as well, it is really stupid it can be used as a suicide weapon effectively. Perhaps a throw delay or an arming distance.
(I shamelessly use Impact Grenades but i rarely use them in close combat, "mouse wheel up" is kind of awkward to use close combat.)
It should be nerfed for the reason Spiritreaver said.
And it is a bad weapon. One possible kill every... what, 15 seconds and no other use unlike every other piece of equipment? It is shit. Please use something else that benefits the team overall more.

so if it´s so easy avoidable why do you make so many kills then? its not easy on an open map like hoth and even worse when you dont know where it comes from!
it was Snowing/raining outside when i played hoth. I felt the temperature drop in my room XD

They're not easy to dodge. Most of the time they're coming at you before you even know where they're coming from.
Plus it keeps locking on even after you break line of sight. I was on Endor yesterday, saw a guy locking a homing missle onto me and ran through some trees and past a rock to break the lock on. It kept on the whole time and it followed me though trees to kill me.

When the missile locks there's a red arrow showing you the direction of the missile so you can seek appropriate cover.
Apparently jumping constantly helps confuse the missile, as does using the jump pack. Haven't tested myself.
Why would you run through trees and not just sit behind one tree facing the RED ARROW? Wait for it to impact, boom, you're alive.
To be honest I'd rather not, which is why I left it "any number of things," but quickly: gunplay, squads, spawn points, classes, vehicle handling, flight, transport vehicles, game modes etc. are all things that could be discussed and are also somehow not "weapon skins," "grips, acogs etc." I'm sorry, but it's just something that's been bugging me while reading discussion of this game: when someone mentions that they may not find one aspect particularly deep, what they must really mean is they want thousands of unlocks and camos! No, stop it.

Also smoke bombs make homing missiles completely useless.
I really dont see the problem.

Officers and the Imperial Navy Troopers should have been customization options for sure:
...well, Officers at least, since I doubt many people would choose those Imperial Navy bucket heads lol

It's not because other people don't know yet how to avoid the homing missile that it's not avoidable. If you get locked, just jetpack away, hide after a rock or start jumping.

I've had this since release. However when I join match I always get kicked with message saying I lost connection to PSN. But I'm still online in psn. It takes me sometimes 10-20 attempts before I ever get in a gsme. Anybody else with this issue?

Which do you guys prefer? Thermal grenades or impact grenades?
Zen_Arcade

You don't even get the jetpack until hours into playing the game.
And hiding doesn't really do shit. Like I said I ran behind trees and rocks and the homing missle still locked on and followed me.

Really would be nice if the dlc ads these things, dont like the helmetless options now
I like thermal since they help with positioning, but it seems like most people I play against use impact and homing missiles together.

Anyone else having a weird menu issue on PC using AMD (not sure if its on NVidia to), using the latest drivers etc, when into a game and go into settings - all the menus are blank.
Same here, i have no big issue with 1 side having Walkers etc, i only think they should have 2 rounds per game on Walker Assault - 1 round your Rebels and the next your the Empire.

would be interesting and different enough for the Rebels, just say they are stolen like the Y-Wings are.
At the very least I wouldn't mind seeing Rebel stolen AT-STs with a different paint job.

Rebels should at least have tauntauns on Hoth :-|

IMO this ATAT pickups need to be reduced or more randomized.
And the Ion Torpedo needs more damage against turrets.

I use both. I get a shitload of kills being able to double up grenades in Supremacy, especially on Endor and Tatooine.

Impact, for sure. There are a few places where Thermal Detonators are better (corridors mainly), but I find people are generally too adept at running away from them most of the time. Plus I play a healthy amount of HvsV, and Impact Grenades provide more consistent damage output against heroes, since most have movement abilities to get away from normal Thermal detonators.

Ew, no tanks. Neither fits Star Wars well, IMO. Always hated them.
GIve rebels an armed landspeeder like the Gian or Flash from EP1, but please, no tanks.

Forgot about them, yes add them asap.
No,if you pay you get a new challenge.
Cause there are some challenges that can take crazy long so you can pay to get a new one.

No, you pay to get a new challenge.
The missles are line of sight and can't recognise inanimate blocking objects to circle around them. You're doing it wrong.
If it's impossible to use cover you can get body guard level one, it makes so homing missles cannot one hit kill. Also smoke grenades.

I've gotten killed from homing shots in all of those situations. Unless I can move from being outside into a tunnel and down the hall a bit I'm going to die.
I could see the trees on the forest moon helping though, at least at range.
What traits people are using?
I use scout, the ability to sprint without radar signature is really important to me. Allows flanking attacks and confuses enemies in close combat.
And the second rank hiding gun signature is pretty nice as well but i rarely stay alive long enough to make use of it.

Gave Hero Hunt another shot last night. Nope, still hate it. It's buggy as hell too. I've had times where I get the kill but still don't earn Hero time, and others where my personal favorite re-spawn as a Stormtrooper happens and I get to take out all of the other players while the Hero can't do any damage to me.
I feel like if time as the Hero was rotated among everyone instead of just whoever gets the last shot then it would make the game much more fair. The randomly chosen Heroes are odd too, players should really be able to pick which one they want to spawn as.
My K/D is going to tank trying to get a win in this for that "Win every mode" achievement.
