They should make Jar Jar the dinosaur of Battlefront; tons of hints at a joke easter egg only to string us along for multiple games before it actually happens.
It's a figure of speech man. I'm not physically shaking my controller. I'm moving to cover and my location is obstructed yet the lock remains

Yeah, because it happened to me, so it's obviously a possibility. It doesn't matter if it's lag, or a bug or whatever. I never claimed that that's how the homing shot functioned. Just that it was possible to get hit with one after you break line of sight. I never said that's how it IS I claimed that it can HAPPEN.
In fact I literally said in that last quote that it's totally possible that something in the game might have fucked up and might need to be patched. Which would imply that I understood that that wasn't the regular function of the gun.
I just want Darth Maul

Thanks. Good to know to use it sparingly.
Rapid fire weapons and explosive shot = GG. It melts heroes too.

What problems are you having? You definitely have to lead shots a bit more than I think I ever had to in BF4. Definitely takes some getting used to.
Also, the lasers still have recoil so if you just hold the button down most weapons will start to spray.

I hope you understand that when someone explains to you how the weapon works and you say they are "factually wrong" - that you are making a claim that the other individual is wrong. That is how you made your claim of how the weapon works - when the user said the weapon worked one way - you said no and claimed it as fact - fact.
There's no point to continue arguing with you when you repeatedly try to say you said one thing when you wrote another. I can see where you are going with this but it's right in your own posts for everyone to see.
Feel free to reply and continue altering your own argument to fit whatever narrative you like, I won't be replying to you.

There is also the one charged star card for the middle called "Focus Fire" that "stabilizes weapon accuracy for a short time"
Could be they are using it.
Cheap like it's counters: Equipping Body Guard Trait (Which also helps vs explosive bolts and all he grenades and area of effect blasts like fighters AT-ST/AT-AT) or smoke grenades. Hiding behind geometry is not so much a skill either.

Bring in Jango for the villains and add a dual blaster for regular characters if they do PT stuff.

Are you aware if there are any map design pictures ala Battlefield.I am lost on Endor.
Whoops.
Well, full disclosure: that statement I made was coming from someone who hadn't played an FPS in ten years.

i thought i would get sick of this quick but the game is just pretty damn fun. the stupid emotes and character models cost so much though...why the hell does it cost the same to unlock a weapon as it does to make my character bald? lol

Finally a game that doesn't fucking ABUSE of Chromatic Aberration! more like chromatic abomination.

That's what I also wanted, but yesterdag I watched epsiode 1 again and the Gungans their 'guns' are just grenades and sticks
I don't think it would be very fun to play as a Gungan MissCauthon

I hate the fact that you need to replenish cards, those things go FAST as hell and are just way over priced.
a cooldown would be better no?Spiritreaver

lol, as a kid I always thought Boomas were the coolest looking bombs ever. I wanted one.That's what I also wanted, but yesterdag I watched epsiode 1 again and the Gungans their 'guns' are just grenades and sticks
Also lol these films have not aged well.

Nooooo I was so close to 7k to buy my trait card and I accidentally spend 1700 on a face while browsing through them!
The worst part is that it was human 7 with the pony tail which looks almost identical to human 9 with the pony tail which I already have.

Yup. I's deadly at close range (like a magnum) but who the fuck wants a close ranged weapon in this game?

I'm finding it super hard to decided when to play Fallout 4 and when to play Battlefront. I wish I could play them both at the same time.
Other players rarely go for the charges laid around the map so I always pick them up and have stacked a ton of charges for my cards. I've never had to buy extra charges once.I hate the fact that you need to replenish cards, those things go FAST as hell and are just way over priced.

I made the mistake of buying Halo 5, Tomb Raider, Fallout 4 and Battlefront. Last night I just stared at the My games and apps page for about 5 minutes.

I don't think any blaster is necessarily overpowered, as the range seems to define everything. Close up pistols and shotguns rule, mid range is owned by rifles, and the faster the fire rate the less damage weapons do. It all comes down to playing to your range and hoping you're not running into lag or latency issues.
Where I see the most imbalance is with the randomness of (non-hero, non-vehicle) pickups on the battlefield. If one team is getting orbital bombardments and anti-infantry turrets and imploders while you keep picking up anti-vehicle turrets (when playing as Imperials) or card cool-downs it makes the game feel like Mario Kart.
Its that randomness that shuts down any of my attempts to worry about winning. Skill absolutely plays a factor here, but luck of the draw determines a hell of a lot all on its own. The more I care about tactics and cooperation and winning the less I enjoy the game. And the more I take in just how awesome the scene is, win or lose, the more fun it is.

yeah thats pretty annoying too but at least you can pick those up on the maps
When you level up they give you 25 per 1700 credits as opposed to 15 at level one. I was a bit angry when I'd spent 8500 on refills on scan when the upgrade cost 7000.

Its one of the handful of aspects of the game that gives off a strong future microtransaction smell. Its a real bummer that your charges persist across matches, because its very easy to lose em with something like the Sonar Pulse.I hate the fact that you need to replenish cards, those things go FAST as hell and are just way over priced.
It is and it isn't. Its a lot more difficult to tell how your team is doing in Walker Assault. Its a pretty complicated system and the UI isn't intuitive so I've frequently lost matches I thought we were dominating and won matches at the last moment where we were getting stomped the whole way through. Still trying to get a handle on it all.This game is so enjoyable when you boot it up. uncomplicated fun and awesome atmosphere - yes
But its definitely easy to jump in and start having fun, absolutely.
really? pretty sure i get 25 with lvl 1

They look incredibly cool, but I doubt it would be fun if those are the only weapons you can play with.
Yeah there is parts that need work, especially communication with your team... How often have I lost because people dont do objectives?!
I played Droid Run for the first time today and had a blast after a few minutes in the game.
Have to say I feel like a Grunt in Titanfall at times
It's quite similar to the Card system in Garden warfare, where you earn "credits" to spend on expendable Zombies and Plants. I'm guessing the concept came from there along with the "soft" microtransasction insertion that will come.
Really, Maybe I'm misremembering it.

Holy fuck that homing shot is so fucking annoying.
For long range combat it is, but it's really damn good for close range.
All this wishing of prequel stuff really has me scratching my head as a 40 year old. We finally get back to the legit star wars era, after suffering in a sea of gungan shit and errector set droids for 16 years and you guys are actually asking for that stuff again?

I don't care if it's 'old man yelling at clouds' you guys that enjoyed those movies when you were kids need to re-watch them, and feel embarrassed because they are hot garbage. I only hope the new movies are at least semi-decent because I don't want to go through that again. I guess it has to do with your age. Is it finally the time when the old guys can finally call out the young men on their nostalgia now?
end rant.. sorry.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
The only match of Walker Assault I can join at the moment is 170ms ping with both AT-ATs bugged dead, Rebels endlessly earning Y-Wings that'll never come.
Thanks EA/DICE.

I just wrecked a team on sorrusoub? Complex with one got like 15 kills and 3 tramples. It was amazing.

Anyone else having trouble connecting to their ea account? I can't login.
That team must have really sucked. Two Ion Torpedos will end the AT-ST and there's no obstructions on that level, which means they can aim at you from halfway across the map and get a lock on.
