Well yeah but at least before you were at least using your cards as you died. Now you can't even do that. It literally is a pointless death.

Pickups still work?
Rebels are supposed to capture one of the points in each section. The idea is to have both sides contesting a point and while the imperials are contesting one the Rebels go and try to capture the other zone.

Nope. You can grab em but can't use em until after your first death.

Yeah. This... and then die miserably against 20 enemies trying to capture the last zone.

Wow, Turning Point sure is a blast as a rebel! I love spawning at the back of the map, having to sprint for a long time to get in a position to do anything and then getting killed by a skill cannon before I see an enemy! Or I can spawn on my randomly selected partner who has been at the back of the map the entire time buffing his K/D and not playing the objective! When I do get in the capture point I get about 7 seconds of life before a grenade inevitably kills me! Awesome!
How is Imperial at a disadvantage? You have the enemy funneling in to select spots on the map. You also have the high ground for most of it. It's literally shooting fish in a barrel. It's a camper's dream.
umm. damn. This is such a strange change.
Spawns are horrendous in this game.

Wow I'm having much longer match load times post patch. Takes a couple minutes for it to load now.
I have seemingly avoided the bad spawn mess. I do get some rough ones at times, but nowhere near as bad as some of those describe by posters in this thread. I didn't read patch notes, but did notice something off with my barrage ability. Good to know it's been delayed I suppose

The map is huge, you can approach any of the three spots from so many directions if you want. Any claiming of a point is permanent in this mode, so every little bit you do hurts the empire, it's not really about holding a point for too long. The whole game mode is pretty much a battle of attrition scenario.

Impact grenades are only a kill now if they land a direct hit. They seemed to have fixed the glitch/bug with the unlimited star cards as well. Yesterday I played a ton and continued to stay at 99, today it finally started to go down.
For anyone who wants to rack up a ton of kills on Imperial doing Turning Point. If you get a Thermal Imploder save that shit till you see 5+ on a point. I managed to kill 12 on the last point. Also a tip for those playing on Rebel above 5 players it doesn't make the cap go any faster so if you are on the point you are just making yourself an easier target.
Still not feeling Turning Point though. I think it just feels like too much of a zerg fest.
Barrage is about as shit as Homing Shot is against a good player now. Not only do you see them whip out there gun for Barrage but you now have a ton of time to run away. Since the grenades explode in sequence you can be standing on the first nade as it lands and start running and you'll dodge all three. It is such a joke. All they needed to do was lower the blast radius and maybe a bit of the damage. Screwing with the fuse timer took away the one advantage it had over a regular Thermal Detonator at a higher cooldown. Using the Thermal Detonator now for a couple of matches and holy shit am I spamming that nade every 10 seconds. I expect a nerf on that in the future as well. I paired it up with the Bounty Hunter trait card for a lot of fun.

This is what mine looked like inside the Deluxe box. So it says the 8th, like it is for everyone who purchases the game. The early access was a pre-order incentive that had a separate code.
Weird, every time I have gone for this I have been shot too much and the cable then snapped. Or I'll be holding the opposite direction of the mini game completely and the cursor still won't go to the middle. It's one achievement that is bothering me.

I am indifferent with it. On one hand I can see people who want to see more variety, on another hand I think it makes it offer the loser a chance to adapt on the same map and try to win on the opposing faction, and vise/versa for the winner to try and win on both sides.
I still think they need to have team juggling with the matchmaking each map/round.
Not sure if this has been posted or not, but if you are like me and preordered the deluxe edition and did not receive your early Jakku code here is how I got one:
-Open a ticket at help.ea.com
-I chose the option for them to call me (They literally called back in 2 minutes, I never had such quick service)
-They will have you take a picture of your receipt and game disc and upload it to the ticket
-They then emailed me a code
Hope this helps anyone...
Edit: the whole process took about 10 minutes

Did you talk to them through their chat? I've been having the same issue.

Yep, I hate that fucking gun. I'm not high enough to unlock it yet, but even when I get to that level I'm not going to use it out of spite.
Check out my previous post. I chose the option to leave my number and have them call you back. They called within two minutes. It was super easy to get a code if you legitimately preordered...
Yes. Use the link I post above to open a support ticket. Have a photo of your receipt ready to send to them.
Yeah, it can certainly get annoying. That said, I enjoy picking pistoleers off at range hahahaha
This.
I don't know what happened yesterday, but I had three guys on my team (in Blast) who'd just spawn and literally shoot at the sky or at walls until they got killed. They wouldn't even move, they'd just stand still and shoot continually in directions where no enemies could even physically come.
Since teams aren't shuffled between rounds, I got them five times in a row.
Really weird.
Yeah, a team shuffle would be nice. I have been in waaaay too many one-side games, getting stomped, or stomping round after round.

I cannot even begin to explain how beautiful this game is maxed out on a 27 inch 1440p g-sync monitor. I am in absolute awe.
It not being nerfed is mind boggling. How it even made it into the game in its current state is insane as well. It's not akimbo 1877 bad but it's very OP.

They need to do something about the AT-ST spam in all of the larger modes. Especially the last base in Turning Point is a joke with an AT-ST walking in after the last one died not even a minute ago.
Also make normal blasters do some noticeable damage against them again. The way it is now everyone just stops bothering about them because you simply feel out of place.

DICE could very easily reskin Boba Fett as Cad Bane. And I would pay more money than I care to admit for an Ahsoka hero unit.

Shit I see mine says that too, what a waste this deluxe edition was. This game hardly has any content for the money, why the maps aren't out for everyone is dumb.
Edit: fuck it bought the season pass and it still won't let me play. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckkkkkk

They sent me a code... but it was invalid. I think I'm done with this game for the week.
Well that sucks...the lady on the phone with me made me stay on the line until I redeemed my code
Same here but I was doing an online chat. He waited to be sure it worked. I was pleasantly surprised by their support.

I haven't been able to get anyone on the chat. I'll have them call back tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get one that works.
Might want to try the call back feature. You leave your number with them and a rep will call you. The chat wait time for me was 25-30mins and i got a call back almost immediately

Same here. I was playing Heroes and Villains. When playing as a soldier, you can't use them the first time. Only when you die first.

How's Jakku? Haven't had a chance to play yet, just got home from work. Damn thing didn't go up when it was supposed to at 8 this morning. xD

I gave up on the new game mode already. Its pretty much elite only players only and casual players go fuck off (pardon my language).
