I tried the DL-44 one game, never looked back.

Seriously can't do shit with those 1-shot guns, I prefer the DH-17 blaster.

Nope, bought the season pass today. Does this mean I have to wait a week?

If you don't have an early access code for Battle for Jakku then you need to wait a week yes.

 

[Akiyama_AE]

Just got this yesterday any tips for a new player what weapons to use etc I'm doing alright but the people who stay in those big ass turrets are cheap, I mostly use the Han Solo blaster

 

[ManUnkindH]

But is it live for those who preordered? PS4

 

[Ozorov]

Some changes to Walker assasult on Juntaland. It's A-Wings vs Tie-fighters in the first phase, and in the next its X-wings vs the other empire fighter. So no A-wings in all rounds.

hehe yup that is the go to joke for sure. That being said almost all PS4 patch notes (that you view on the system itself) are like that in my experience. DICE will post details later today I'm sure.

 

[Theorry]

DICE always post detailed patch notes on the forum. The PS update info is always crap with every game.

[Opus Angelorum]

Detailed patch notes are only available for season pass holders.

I entered the early access code for Jakku last week, but I can't access the content. Any ideas why? Thanks!

It'll be out in 1 hour or so

 

[FeD.nL]

Just played a couple of games of Fighter Squadron. A-Wing still dominates, don't really notice any difference in the mode, Imperials are still with their backs against the wall.

 

[ubersticky]

When the AT-AT's are vulnerable and only 3 people on your team try to damage them > Close application.

 

[Ozorov]

It'll be out in 1 hour or so

how you know?

Where do you get that code from? I bought the season pass today, am I supposed to have a code??

 

[Kingsora]

They nerfed the pulse rifle? Why would they do that? Might as well remove it from the game.

That is indeed ridiculous. For making kills with the Pulse rifle is actually some skill required. If it's not a one shot kill and you still have a cooldown of 15 seconds, it actually completely has no use at all anymore.

A sniper in any game is a one shot kill and if it isn't is has barely a reload time. It's sad that DICE just caves in to everything because complainers like to complain about almost every thing in Battlefront.

It indeed sucks, maybe they nerfed it to make the Cycler Rifle not look like shit?

Pre-ordering the game or being lucky and finding the day 1 edition in stores with code in box.

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

The unlimited charges glitch is also fixed in this patch.

 

[Theorry]

Updating now also on Xbox.

 

[Kingsora]

Now they are both shit. I also never understand why they nerfed the Cycler rifle, it was a good weapon, but never OP.

Now the T121B is as a normal weapon even a better 'sniper' right now as the Cycler and Pulse.

I hope they also haven't nerfed the Homing shot.

 

[TheSpoiler]

YES

ALL THESE CHANGES

Now fix the K/D system. More points should be awarded to the people who do the damn objective.

You are almost there, DICE. I believe in you.

Yeah, i agree. I guess there'll be even more grenades spammed now instead of pulse rifle carriers.

 

[Theorry]

Playing Turning point now on Xbox.

 

[Gravemind IV]

Two in the afternoon here in Europe, actually expected to be able to play Jakku by now.

 

[Kane1345]

Just got the patch, let's see how bad the DL44 has been nerfed...

 

[Kingsora]

post an update please, I am curious. I really liked the weapon on some maps.

 

[Noisepurge]

Aww, I haven't unlocked it yet.

I got my first ever taste of flying the Millenium Falcon yesterday. Unsurprisingly, it led to my best ever performance in the game ever. That ship is so overpowered it is hilarious.

Oh yeah the hero ships are insane. They have waaay to much health I would know, i always beeline to the hero powerup at the beginning of the match and rack up about 10 000 points every game rarely dying at all :E


Would be much better if they had something like triple the normal X-wing health at the most, given that they have more abilities. Now they have about 50 times the health. This would also rotate the hero powerup between players more instead of just one or two during one match.

 

[Ozorov]

I got one-shotted by a Pulse cannon just about 1 min ago. Dunno if it has been nerfed so much?

 

[FeD.nL]

Yeah my mistake, tested it out myself just now and you can still one shot. Guess the guy forgot to charge.

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Same here. Twice.

 

[MADGAME]

So Barrage Obama is nerfed. What about Dl-44 and A-wing?

 

[heringer]

That's good news. Crisis averted!

 

[vypek]

Update is out? is there a changelog?

 

[B-Dex]

Update is out? is there a changelog?

Explosives nerfed into uselessness and general tweaks and bug fixes.

 

[Theorry]

Nothing really changed. Still getting murdered by the Dl44 and the spawns on Turning Point are crap also. A ATST was just standing behind our spawn point killing people.

 

[Helloween]

It'll be out in 1 hour or so

Don't run over without me mang

 

[deoee]

DL-44 still is strong in CQ but as I do not own it I can not try it at long range


Btw. is there any indicator if I own Jakku?
If I can play it, I'll stream it now.

 

[vypek]

Explosives nerfed into uselessness and general tweaks and bug fixes.

So I might need to replace my grenade and homing shot?

Okay, thanks for the info.

 

[Kane1345]

post an update please, I am curious. I really liked the weapon on some maps.

I'm still killing people with 2 shots from close to medium range. Doesn't feel like a nerf at all.

Barrage def has a second or two before activation, don't know how I feel about it yet. Does anyone know if they nerfed the impact grenade? Fuck that thing

Also homing shots? Still a one shot?

I don't have it yet but I still get killed as fast as before by it

Impact grenade is nerfed aswell, it does not kill if it's not a direct hit.
Homing shot seems the same damage but I do not know if they changed the tracking ability.

Btw. I seem to not have Jakku unlocked despite buying before release (from mexico)

 

[The Omega Man]

So I just woke up, did they release patch notes?

 

[MADGAME]

Is invincibility fixed?
Blast trophy fixed?

 

[The Xtortionist]

Is invincibility fixed?
Blast trophy fixed?

Blast trophy is still fucked

 

[DavidDesu]

I got to level 17 and bought the EE-3 gun or whatever its called and I'm mightily disappointed. Fires three short blasts for each burst of fire and it feels like it takes multiple shots to do any real damage, which goes against what the stats for the gun tell me. Urgh. Quite how people reached rank 40 in the first 2/3 days with this game worries me. How...?! 24/7 play seemed necessary. I've played about 10 hours to get to 17 so no idea how they did it. I'd say I'm middling in terms of where I finish in the leaderboards for most things.

 

[vypek]

I really liked using impact grenades

 

[endlessflood]

A-Wings are untouched in the patch. WTF.

 

[deoee]

I really liked using impact grenades

They are not useless, you just need to aim a shot at them after they are hit.
