Hahaha. With that head its even funnier!
I have been doing the robot move during most kills recently. It's not as insulting as the typical teabagging, and a stormtrooper doing it looks funny.

I find myself switching between the E-11 and EE-3 now depending on how I'm doing in a match. The T-21 just fires too slow and the DL-44 just doesn't have the range.
If you watch an activated uplink it has a line that goes around the circle. When if fills you get another Y-Wing. The more Y-Wings the longer the AT-AT is exposed. If the rebels get zero Y-Wings I think the Walker still gets exposed briefly, but I might be wrong on that part.
I was firing off "I've got a really bad feeling about this" and at the end of the match when we were helplessly surrounded the rest of my time all fired it off repeatedly, too. Some good, funny folks in that round. 
Btw, if anyone on PS4 sees a terrible player named JeffZeroTheHero, that's me. (It's eventually going to replace my main PSN, JeffJaqi, because I don't want my ex-wife's name tattooed on my account name any longer...)

Would people oppose a game that gives everyone the same gun but still gives you star cards for individuality? Is that too much (little?) to ask for?

Just went 57-2 with Boba Fett, had him almost the entire game. It felt dirty.

I hope the heroes for dlc are obiwan, lando, yoda and chewie.
Won't happen, gotta have two Imperials (and i sure as hell don't believe Tarkin will be one).
Lando and Chewie are good possibilities, if the new heroes are not from The Force Awakens (in which case they're almost certainly Phasma, Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren).
EDIT I assume DICE means just four heroes, not four pairs of heroes, ie one hero and villain rather than either/or.

Scan Pulse and Personal Shield are really good general use cards. Explosive Shot rules in Heroes vs Villains. I don't play as Empire in Endor without Scan Pulse.
Not exactly someone i'd call Imperial.
If i had to pick two Villains for the Empire from OT:
1) General Veers. He wears armor over an Imperial Officer Uniform, i think it is a distinctive enough look. And him being a front-line general (sure, he was in an AT-AT but close enough) makes him a good fit for the game. Arm him with a blaster pistol and some kind of aura-power that buffs others around. Or something like that.
2) Probably another bounty hunter, Dengar or Bossk perhaps. Iconic looks, and them being bounty hunters allows for variety of skills.
(For Rebels, Lando and Chewie, with their abilities being similar to their Imperial counterparts.)
EDIT Veers article: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Maximillian_Veers
Funny thing about the EU version of Veers: His name is spelled Maximilian there, with one L.

For those of you not having fun, I'm just going to lay the truth on you here: No matter how much this might have been boosted up as being for casual fans and players, in the end this is going to be just like any other MP game. If you feel like it's weighted against you now, in a couple of months people who've had the time and skill to max their levels are going to be the majority. Unless you have the time to devote to getting better weapon/card unlocks, learning the key map points, and honing your aim and movement, it's not going to get any better for you and you're not going to have a good time. I'm not saying that out of meanness, or because I think I'm some sort of MVP (believe me, I waver between being mediocre and terrible at this game). It's just the way it is. You have to play and lose a whole lot before you start getting better and winning. I've bought plenty of MP games knowing all this beforehand and still feeling like I wasted my money because I didn't have the time to keep up. If it's not fun for you after a week or so, it's probably never going to be. Trade it in or sell it and buy another game you want.
That's just it, though. I wouldn't call any bounty hunter "Imperial", either. Fett feels like a bit of an exception given his active involvement in ESB, but even the rest of that intro scene's lineup is a stretch IMO.

Ok, that was the most fun I've had with this game. It was an amazing supremacy match of constant pushing back and forth capturing and losing bases. Both teams were playing great. It was full of sweet moments like this:
The jet pack is so awesome. As is thermal imploder. As is the enemy scan ability.
And we managed to win right before the time limit was up. What an absolute delight. I also did alarmingly well. Probably the last time I do this well.
And I am kind of genuinely surprised at how much fun I've been having with this. It's very laid back and has various progression issues, but it satisfies my deep desire for chaotic multiplayer games in a way that seemingly only DICE games can.

Has there been any discussion as to whether any of the dlc will be prequel maps?
That's pretty hilarious, I just imagined him screaming like he does from one of his songs going super saiyan breaking it.
Yes, and you have to buy the E11 for use with the rebels.
The more Y wings that come the longer the AT is exposed.

I'm not having fun in many parts due to the imbalance. But I assume EA is going to fix the myriad of issues like the horrible spawn placements in Walker and Supremacy.
More likely your connection has an issue. I haven't seen any hit detection issues. Indeed, the netcode seems to be impressively solid.

Play it as a tps and don't zoom. For some reason zooming or playing the game in FPS make landing shot harder. IMO ofcourse.

The DL-44 should be banned from smaller maps....its a 1 hit kill as far as i can tell. Its the equivalent of shooting a guy a bunch of times then having him run up and knife you in COD

Man I'm pissed. Just did Blast on the Hoth rebel base map and the other team all climbed up on top of the Millennium Falcon and were just sniping everyone before they could even exit the tunnel. Scoreboard ended up being 100 to 40 because they all cottoned on and climbed up there so no-one could approach. Cunts.
I hope DICE patch that now that people have jump packs. I don't normally get pissed during MP games but I hate people using exploits.

I see how that could be frustrating but if a team goes that long and can't the people down, they didn't use the tools the game offers to get them down.
Garrett Hawke
Member
That's not true. The majority of the people on my team didn't have jump packs so there was no way to get up there, and with half the team up there and half the team on the ground there was literally nothing anyone could do. Even tried popping a bubble shield and using a jump pack to get up there but there was a vanguard of 3 or 4 Stormtroopers who just shot me the moment the shield went away.

The reason I said that because I have been on a team that camped the Falcon and we were bombarded by Impact Grenades and Smart Rockets.
It actually tells you in the loading screen something along the lines of "zooming in gives you better vision but does not increase accuracy" I hitch is pretty counter intuitive to a couple of decades of fps training and evolution.

Its a big problem with unlocks when they're only balanced by other unlocks.
Garrett Hawke
Member
Huh... we were down one or two teammates because people quit as well but at least I know what to do next time.
Yeah, the bubble shield in particular completely changes objective based stuff and the jump packs change everything.
You can actually get up there normally off the stairs, though it's obviously much easier with a jetpack.
This is the reboot of a series in which every game had prequel content. Of course people are going to lament its absence, especially when a lot of that prequel content was quite fun to play.
Holy hell I want this.

I'm still trying to figure out what my favorite blaster is.
The DL-44 is a gun I always end up bouncing in and out of, it's basically a space deagle. Useful for medium range assaults mostly, you can snipe a bit with it if you have the steadiest hand, it's the only gun I find my self mainly going for headshots with.
As I am sure is the case with most people the RT-97C is my go to gun, it has decent damage, incredible range and it's just generally really reliable, the one thing I dislike about it is it feels really clumsy at close quarters, to the point that I can't really hit anything in there.
The DH-17 is the blaster I underrated the most, it's one of the first things you unlock and it's like 600 credits so I figured it was there to introduce players to blaster pistols but this gun is seriously a really good workhorse. It's absolutely awesome in close quarters, rather solid at range and it's got the perfect fire rate where it is always really easy to control. I feel the DH-17 doesn't get enough credit.
The T-21 and the T-21b kinda feel like long ranged versions of the DL-44, they're cool but they're not really what I want, I'm not the most accurate guy either so between the slow fire rate and the fact that it over heats quickly I can't really use these very well as I can't really correct my fire mid spam.
I oddly enough haven't given the E-11 and the AC280 much of a go around, I should since people seem to love the E-11. I just picked up the EE-3, it's got similar issues as the SE-14C where unless you hit the full burst it doesn't do much work, but if you hit the full burst it's completely devastating. Since I don't have the steadiest shot they're not really guns for me.
The jawa gun the CA-83 or whatever is a gun I only find myself using when I play blast, in blast it's really really strong since the maps are really close quarters because outside of that that thing is useless to me.
All in all though I'm really pleased with the weapon selection, they've all got their niche. The only real overlap is that the DLT-19 and the RT-97C feel a bit too similar and considering the RT is just flat out stronger stats wise that's a bit disappointing.

There are 3 paths to their base, if they were on the Falcon you can just go through any of the other two paths and grab their stuff. Not to say you can just throw grenades to the Falcon and destroy them.
Earlier I was playing Blast and was on top of the Falcon (btw you don't need a jump pack to get up there I think, there are two stairs that go up) and while I was able to catch some people at first, after a couple minutes they would just snipe me out from couple spots at the same time and I stopped going up there.
Really, there are some issues in this game, sure, but going up the Falcon isn't one, as it isn't an exploit either.
Late Edit: Wow I dunno why I was thinking of Cargo when you said Blast. Haven't played that mode yet, is some objective in the center area?

I kind of wish that DICE would rebalance Walker Assault to the way it was in the beta, where the Rebels had to work hard to win. I don't need every multiplayer game to be as balanced as possible; I actually would really prefer an asymmetrical game type that takes a really good team to win.
I could see a problem with that though... Some people could go like:
> Find Game
> Find out you're Rebel
> Quit
> Search another game
> Be Empire, stay until end of game
> Become Rebel
> Quit
...
Yep, people already quit a lot in this game. Let's not add another reason for people to quit.

Cargo is probably my favorite small mode, when you've got 2 equally competent teams it's really fun and can be super intense.
Just spectacular work on this spawning system DICE. Bravo.

I do enjoy this game a lot at times, but I just do not understand why all of the mechanics are so fucking brain dead. Is allowing people to pick a spawn location in big objective modes too hard for the average SW fan to understand??
