Holy shit, have they really not said anything about the Hero Holiday yet? lmao this is a new level of shit from DICE.
Whenever they had community missions the reward was almost always a gold battlepack or a dog tag, but there is no equivalent to those in this game.
In BF4 they gave out the reward pretty much when the event ended, or at the very least they communicated pretty fast the details of the reward and how or when to claim them.

I suppose it will just be a substantial credit reward or free charges. Only other thing I can think of might be a new emote, of which I'd prefer the former possibilities.
The force wants you to use that gun
I just roll my eyes whenever I see DL-44 on the kill screen. Now that I've used it I know how much effort it takes to get kills with that thing.

It's awful throughout.
I don't get the total downgrade especially after all the shit that's come out even in the new EU to draw from.
I'm not SW expert but aren't there like 10 different type of storm troopers? How did we only get 2?
They're not canon anymore.
Nice
I've been kinda lurking this thread and the main thing I've noticed that people are missing the mark on is also the biggest issue with this game. It's not the dl44, the a-wing, unbalanced maps or modes that people are criticizing, although those things need to fixed. The biggest issue with this game, that will actually impact it's longevity and player base, is the lack of team balancing! At least you got it right.
Nothing is worse than 5 great players on the other team abusing one of the many imbalanced aspects of this game, while your team is full of a bunch of new players. Every server seems to eventually death spiral into this scenario; good players quit losing teams and join other games looking for better teams. Meanwhile all of the unbalanced and broken aspects of this game are magnified by horribly unbalanced teams. DICE-DICE needs to fix this issue ASAP and put in a decent team balancing system. I can't believe they didn't do this after bf3 & 4.
I also hope DICE-LA gets this game. Preferably sooner in the game's life cycle than they got BF4 since BF5 is supposed to be right around corner
Once you become really good you don't need the Rebel advantage. I've got 15 kills before many times as a TIE Interceptor. Trying to work on 20+ kills but the mode is so damn short. I really want a 500-1000 point Fighter Squadron mode. It needs more time to breathe.
I have to assume things like A-Wing/DL-44 are at least on the docket.
The alternative is too depressing to contemplate.
yep. im still playing a bit, but its frustrating as hell that they havent even said anything about balance. if i had the twitters i would be all over these SONS OF BITCHES
Maybe not, but just basing it off the recent Clone Wars show we can have different colors and armor variations.

I really like Heroes versus Villains. One thing: is there a way to opt out of playing as a hero in rounds other than the first? I really enjoy playing as a normie in this mode a lot of the time and get bummed when I get picked to be a hero sometimes. If not, they should add it.
I do like playing as Palp though.
Still not very far along leveling wise. Didn't get to play much this week. Hit 18 tonight.
More people should use ion torpedo in the larger modes. I don't really mind homing shots that much as a concept but they are so ubiquitous that it feels like people don't want to run anything else unless they are doing something with the bowcaster.

I'm not competitive enough to care about balance. It's just fun to me.

Yup. A-Wings are absolute bullshit in this game.

This is the best solution until they fix the balance of the A-wing or delete it.

Just started playing the game on PS4.. it's fun! I might have played 6 hours or so over the last week. Will probably play a bit less from now on (work and stuff), so it feels I'll never get to unlock the really advanced stuff (though unlocking that twi'lek would be awesome*), but it's fun to unwind after a long day of work.
Thoughts: most modes are just ok, but a few modes I could see myself playing over. Turning point is great fun, and I just started playing the AT-AT mission. I am a super xwing/Tie fighter vet, but didn't really like the air battles much. Heroes and villains is kind of fun too. Hero Hunt is so poorly balanced it's not even funny. Maybe I played too little of it, but getting to be a hero for giving a finishing shot instead of most damage (or at least some combination) is just dumb. Plus, in this mode the relative strength of hero varies wildly- Leia completely dominated the games I was in (perhaps because no one had contact grenades, but otherwise she was just using her shield, popping out to kill a peon or two, and getting back in).
I really hate the homing missile weapon and wish it wasn't in the game. It just slows you down/ forces you to hide. It's rarely useful that much, but it's annoying when you get killed by it OR when you just wait it out. In general, I kind of wish there was less 'advanced' options and just had regular weapons and maybe custom side weapons. But no bullshit like cards, bounty hunter perks and so on.
* for the empire, I am going to wait for the imperial guard. Because they are going to show up, right?

New bug for me. My shield Star Card currently has 71 charges, seen in the setup and card screens. Spawn into game and I have one. exit, I have 71. Enter into game again, one. Restarted, bought more, played a few games, still broken. Come on.
Also, never realized how cool the Stormtrooper art printed on the disc is. Damn sexy.

You should be able to hit the star card button and it works and fixes it, either that or pick up a charge on battlefield and then activate and it will reset properly

Nope Klocker, it doesn't. I played several games, used the one charge I start with and it goes to zero. Picking up charges on the field adds one as normal, but doesn't restore my count. After the game I see all my charges, but in game I only get one. All my other cards work fine, it's just the shield.
You try buying more charges? Maybe get more than 99 and see if it fixes the charge count.

Today was frustrating. One round I played I was the first with 48/16 and got 8k pts. Then I lost connection with the EA servers and got no points, nothing. Great. Then another round. EVERYBODY was using homing shot in the other team. I was killed at least 10 times in a row by that fucking bullshit. Had to quit. FFS
Hadn't had much trouble with the DL-44 until I started playing drop zone to work on a challenge. I would say 95% of my deaths came from that blaster.
Weapon balance aside, I think my biggest gripe with the game is that it doesn't seem to rebalance teams. My team lost drop zone four times in a row to the same opposing team. First time was 5-1, the rest were 5-0. Coming from Destiny, that was what I liked the most. If you got wrecked one game it would drop you back into matchmaking instead of just pairing the same two teams.

I swear i've thrown grenades over my friends yet i somehow die when the blast appears next to me, as if the grenade had got stuck to a friendly or something like that. It is as if there was disconnect between what you see and what data the server has.
