Can't wait to get my hands on the full release! That mobile app tower-defense game is pretty fun in the meantime.

Helmetless Stormtroopers bumming me out more than they should
I try not to think about it.
It's fun, but I don't think I'm three starring some of those AT-AT sieges. Kudos to thems that do it.

I can only hope the playerbase has good taste when it comes to customization.
Nice ot
Quick question about the deluxe edition. Is it just me or does the description of the items you get sound like it gives you a slight edge. Like "do more damage to vehicles" text. If that is indeed true it sounds a little unfair for a multiplayer game. I don't think anyone here will actually be able to answer this question until a day after the game is officially out anyway but I'll try anyway.

Is anyone streaming this right now? Or is it prohibited on Twitch?

Wouldn't be surprised if EA Access crashed and burned tomorrow.

This is pretty much the only game I'm excited for. My taste in games has really changed over the past year.
Reading this made me hear the TIE Fighters.

Its just early unlocks of stuff you'd get through normal play.

That's up to you. Everyone by this point here knows the drawbacks and benefits of both platforms. I will say the usual reason to avoid multiplayer only games on PC doesn't apply here though. The player base for this game will be massive wherever you go. So really what it comes down to is, do you want better IQ and higher frame rate than 60? Or do you want to play with friends on PS4 and be able to sell the game later?
What does this even mean? They just need to make it available lol

It's still available in the standard edition. All you get with the deluxe edition is a few early unlocks.
With Battlefield 3 and 4 the infrastructure collapsed on launch (particularly BF3) so nobody could play.

DO NOT BUY THE DELUXE EDITION
Unless you want 2 emotes. That's the only thing that's exclusive about it.
Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but it simply gives you "instant" access to a few pieces of gear you can unlock normally after a few games.

Such an AWESOME OP JDHarbs! I learned something reading it! I had no idea that this game supported Dolby Atmos. Unbelievable. That has to be the first game supporting Atmos right?
I just got an Atmos Certified Denon Receiver two months ago. This could be crazy awesome.

That has nothing to do with EA Access though. The beta's servers and matchmaking were surprisingly solid, if that's what he means.

Lovely OT, but the EU Release date is wrong. It's released on the 19th as EA made all EU games a Thursday release and changed the UK recently to match this.
Origin's preload starts friday.

He probably means people are going to be downloading Battlefront Early Access, downloading their new Xbox One Update, downloading all their Backwards Compatible Titles. Then you have people buying and downloading Fallout and Call of Duty still.
If anyone can handle that traffic, its Microsoft.
hmm really. Thank you for the quick response.
Want to use a Twi'lek but I have this strange little gamer twitch that makes me second guess these things. Like oh will that make the head or the hitbox even bigger of a target thus putting you at a slight disadvantage. I can safely blame Halo 2 for programming me that way. The slight hitbox difference between the spartan and elites.
The keys are being sent out on release day, apparently.
Via the Battlefront app, the DL-44 pistol is normally unlockable at level 25,and the Ion Torpedo at 4, so I guess you'd have a bit of a jump start on the Han Solo gun.
Not really worth it for me.
Maybe it includes the coloring book, T-shirt and flamethrower.

Agree. Stormtroopers should have only subtle customizations like coloured shoulders or something.Helmetless Stormtroopers bumming me out more than they should
Day 1 on PS4 doe.
I won't use any helmetless skin. That's for sure. And I hope a lot of ppl will do the same.
What do you mean?

Yeah. Stormtrooper customization mostly involves taking their helmet off.
The old games that come with one of the bundles, and I assume would be available to purchase on psn. Bounty Hunter and 3 more games

Gonna try this on EA Access and then if I like it pick it up on PS4. I got bored of the beta really fast. Not feeling good about it long term personally.

Aw hell nah. I'm not buying the game now. How can this game be a proper Star Wars fantasy if the Stormtroopers don't have helmets? Bad move, Dice. Bad move.

Even though I used Battlefield: Hardline's trial, I forgot how the timer system worked.
So, are the 10 hours on a countdown from the second we open the application, 10 hours inside the application (so in-game time) or 10 hours on a countdown that can be stopped/started if the system is powered down entirely and powered on again?
Anyways, hyped for the trial tomorrow and even more hyped for the PC launch Tuesday!
