Cash Only. As you unlock cards in the main game you can use those on the app

Yeah i hope so too.
The game probably needs to be prepared for the Jakku DLC. So i expect a Patch really soon, with hopefully some changes and tweaks in it too

Played an hour of Droid Run for an objective and it just about broke my spirit with this game lol. Punishingly boring mode, it goes on for far too long.
I really wish there was more equipment in this so you were at least unlocking stuff faster.

Wait until you hit around 35. The only thing I have to look forward to is emotes and getting twilek/shadow trooper.
Finally scraped together a win after way too many matches, and... no trophy. I want to die.
Nah droid run is fun. They can end quick if you have a good team.

I liked droid run but it should be 10 minutes and not 15.
Trophy for a win in each mode, right?
Try and go here: http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/companion/career
Click: Stats & Progression, scroll to bottom, click Detailed Stats and scroll down to Game Mode Wins and see if there's a mode where it hasn't registered a win. I hope for your sake that it isn't Hero Hunt

Wait, splitscreen is offline only?
-_-

The average person would not be able to tell the difference, good work btw.
The game only has 2 player co-op, so how else would you play split-screen?
You can play online co-op too.

Oh thanks much, I didn't know about this (was annoyed there wasn't a way in-game to see your wins per mode). Somehow Team Blast is the one I'm missing, should be a cinch to wrap that one up.
What I wouldn't give to have a competent team in Cargo mode. Nothing worse than getting destroyed by opponents who actually understand we aren't playing team deathmatch.
It didn't help that the last match had 2 players vs a team of 4 for part of the match. Not much you can do in those circumstances.

It is unfortunate that the person that gets the last hit get to be the Hero (Villain?). I mentioned a few days ago it should be the person that has dish out the most damage. How this passed testing I'll never know.
As for learning the Hero's and their abilities try out the training, that should help you out a lot.

Honestly it should be on a rotation, so everyone gets a chance at scoring their points, it should actually courage team work among people who aren't the hero. I've seen heroes get taken down in 15 seconds before so it's not like becoming a hero guarantees a ton of points. But I think a full round should be over after every player has gotten the chance to be the hero 3 times or so.

I think they meant the regular online multiplayer. What else could they have meant? It wouldn't be the first time a multiplayer game let you go online with split screen. Wouldn't expect it from dice though.

Oh yeah, I didn't think of that in my reply. I thought they meant 4 player co-op with two local, two online.
I would love to be able to take a friend with me in split-screen in the regular MP modes.
No shit?? So that's the key, eh. Sucks, because I've only played that mode for the trophy and I've lead kills seven times and it's not popped yet. Guess I will wait until they fix it.

I think the tickrate of the game is only 10hz like BF4 was at launch instead of 30hz like it is now. I hope they'll up it in a patch soon.Finally got Lvl 25 on PS4
But IMO there is something off with the hit detection and player feedback on PS4.
Sometimes i just die from 1 shot. Or my enemy is just eating etc.

Yeah its probably this. It really feels like launch BF4 sometimes.
I hope they fix that really soon. They should even try to get a 40 or 50hz tickrate. Game runs mostly at 60fps.

I figured it'd let you do splitscreen in the 'main' multiplayer modes like COD and (old) Halo and such, joining online matches with a local player coming along. I didn't buy the game for it or anything so I'm not pissed (just thought I'd break it out with the family today), just disappointed.
Anyone who can explain what is happening here ? We are a hole team doing damage to him and nothing happens. I ran into him 2 times and both times was the same.

So I was using the Blaster Pistol to get the 25 Headshot Challenge. It took way longer than I care to admit.
However as soon as I went back to a Blaster Rifle, I was the Top Spot on my team 3 games in a row playing Blast.
I went
18-6
19-7
18-9
respectively.
Even more important we won every single match.
My K/D is now 1.3.
I am pretty positive I will never, ever do that again. Never.
But I am 95% positive that using just the pistol for so long is the reason I did so good.

Invincible glitch. Something they have to patch too

Why don't you play Battle mode & Survival against the AI? It's all I play and it's pretty forgiving on normal.
I think this is a bug. Ran into one guy who was just like that.
Let's hope it will get patched when battle of jakku is released
I did a quick little wireshark analysis, and this could be off cause I only looked for downstream UDP from the server address, but I counted 30hz. It's probably due to the fact that you can't adjust the interpolation like in BF4. (That really helped me
.)I never get tired of Fighter Squadron, that mode is so damn fun. I really hope we get some kind of objective based missions or something in the future for single player. All of the assets are there, they just need to set some objectives and challenges. Using nothing but the assets they already have in the game they could easily make missions on par with Rogue Squadron.
Also, I'm really confused as to how some people are so bad at Fighter Squadron. The majority of players get very few AI kills even, and I once saw someone who was in the Slave I the whole match get a total of like four kills including AI. How is that possible? It has to be people that don't know how to lock on, right?

Yeah, they're probably new, unfamiliar with their fighter's abilities, don't know about locking on for missiles AND lasers and don't know about lowering speed to up weapon power.
I can understand someone not getting many kills in Slave I if they're trying to avoid every missile or laser beam that comes their way; you get a lot of flak in the hero ships, and especially if it's your first time you may not have a feel for how much damage you can actually take compared to a fighter.

Damn, had a very fun match on Fighter Squadron a few mins ago. Got the Millenium Falcon and it was awesome! Also, finally got to level 25! DL-44 O_O holy shit
They can't nerf this gun... come on. It's a reward after getting killed SOOOO MANY TIMES to get here. Please keep it as it is DICE.

Yeah, it's ending up as I'd guessed, about like every other MP game. Missed being able to play for a few days, sit down today, now I've gone from hovering around mid-level to bottom-five every match. Ended up dead last on the team just now. Oh well, guess I'll leave it on the HDD so it can sit there as another blown money reminder that I'm no longer able to devote the time to keeping up with MP games anymore.

You need to learn to use what the game has to offer. Go after the power ups, try getting the hero pickup, etc. It's still fun, although sometimes frustrating

Anyone figure out how to get the card decks to save? I can save the first deck fine, but the 2nd hand doesn't. Every time. I tried renaming it too, nope. NEW HAND is so frustrating to see when I get in game.
So I'm stuck with either a hand designed for infantry, or one designed for taking down vehicles the whole match.

I took one day off and felt the same today. Took me 3 hours to get back into it.

I don't like to admit this but i had to quit four games, two last night & two tonight playing as Rebels, because people are more interested in shooting at the Empire than activating the stations, on Hoth just now there were only two Y-wing attacks on the first wave, TWO!
Last night i even lost as Rebels playing on Endor! how are people not able to take down a single AT-AT?
Really enjoyed playing this a few days ago, but this has happened two nights running now & i hope it's not going to continue like this.

You can get more points killing people than gunning for the objective. I went back and forth several games last night on Supremacy, one with my truaty E-11 where I focused on taking nodes and defending and the other just picking everyone off from a distance. The games where I played for straight kills my face was on the leaderboard and walked away with a higher cumulative end of round score count than the games where I played the objective. The game has devolved a bit to just looking for things to kill.
So long as kills are the highest rank on objective based game modes this will probably continue. People need dem kill counts.
