Eh, that could've happened since the December patch. Indeed, Endor is quite balanced map in WA, as are others but Jakku and Hoth, which are scewed toward the Rebels really heavily.
Guess it was just a coincidence.
Today was the first time I've seen it happen ever.
I've seen Rebel wins, but they've been squeakers. This was a blowout.

Wait....what?
I said quite, not fully.
And it is nowhere near unbalanced as Jakku or Hoth, where the Empire wins perhaps 1/10th of time.
The whole gamemode is overall unbalanced, with the Rebels seemingly winning more.

I agree that WA is a bit unbalanced but Ive actually seen the Imperials win on Hoth several times, I still have yet to see the Empire win on Endor.
Disappointed, as others have said, that the Torpedo is getting nerfed as I didn't really feel it was that overpowered to begin with. The range reduction may hurt a lot. I'll have to say.
However, I'm glad the Bowcaster usage frequency has dropped as it seems like the jumpcaster build was gaining prominence.
And Turning Point on more maps in Feb is really good.

Goddamn Blast trophy is still glitched :-(((
Seriously? Dammit.
Maybe it can be boosted with private matches now?
Worked for me

Its coming in the February update
Are they gonna fix the "grenades vanishing upon death" bug?
Like, you throw a 'nade, die and the grenade never appears but cooldown is triggered.
It is really, really annoying and common.
And not limited to grenades either, i've have had blaster bolts and ion torpedos vanish as well.

February starts in what, 3 days? START THE COUNTDOWN AGAIN

That's been an issue with DICE games for a while now. So, not likely.

Yes, that is on the table for February. Also for the hero daily challenge you mentioned earlier, it is obtainable much easier in HvsV.

I can see that happening, since this patch was done before Xmas, and was held up in certification for Live and PSN.
February's is probadly heading to cert soon.

Thank goodness for that leap year, lol.
PC players: you see a player called "Dog no like fish" or some such in your team. Despair. That guy is only interested in padding is KD, by whoring AT-ST (or A-Wing).
The Empire played well on Jakku but they could not break through the rebel lines since the guy was sitting back and shooting occasional enemies.
It was such a satisfying moment to kill him for the first time in the match, no perfect KD for him.

Oh man. lol
I hope this is the case.
Also, season pass holders get early access to the DLC maps, right? I'm pretty pumped for that.

Man, the game is a completely different thing now without homing shots flying everywhere.

Nice! Gonna hop on and try it when I get home from work.
That's neat, dude. Enjoy it.
I've only played a few supremacy matches, but everything feels great so far. With the ion torpedo nerf (which was unexpected and makes air vehicles even more superior to infantry) I've equipped ion shot, which is very effective. I've also used the ion grenades, but it's too easy to miss your target with those. Explosive shot is still good, and scan pulse received a much needed downgrade (the cooldown should still take longer since it can still be spammed). Saw a variety of cards being used and expect more snipers in the future, which is fine since they usually don't impact the flow of the game. Smokes are still useful, though aren't as necessary since homing shot won't be used as much. Didn't see any bowcasters.
Thanks man. Hoping it starts soon. Myself and all the other extras are chilling, waiting to go to filming. For anyone wondering, it's the movie set for the 5th Jason Bourne movie.
Anyone notice less jumpcasters yet?
Effectively extinct. One tried it on me... didn't hit properly and i didn't take almost any damage.
A better way to use the weapon now is to use it in tight places from ground level, not air to ground. I think.

I haven't played since the patch. Is it really a huge difference? I really like the Bowcaster.
My friend thinks the weapon is now worthless. He has no idea what to use now.
Me, i'm glad i never bothered to use it. It was a crutch. Better to learn to play the game without gimmicks and crutches.
The impact grenade was worthless if it wasn't a direct hit after the first patch. Did they change it again?
This is good news.
It can still be viable for sure, but I rather change it up since its not as strong as it used to be.
I'm not sure if they changed it at all, I personally just like using it.

I can't wait to get on and play. I've been waiting for this patch playing COD and I just need some simple, straightforward gameplay after that clusterfuck of a game.

they changed the cooldown to be longer iirc from the patch notes. i'm assuming that means it had some viablility if the cooldown is longer than thermal now
Thermal Detonator is as useful as ever though it isn't spammed so much anymore. Which is good. Also the value of the Card Reset power-up went up.
Unfortunately it is also boring as hell...
I don't find any of the Star Cards to be interesting or particularly fun really.
I'd prefer a blaster version of the Bowcaster (ie functioning like a blaster as well, not like it does now), and perhaps off the Scout Pistol and Cycler Rifle as well. Single-shot weapons are meh, i'm better off using my actual blaster 99% of time.
Now, if the Blaster Cannon was a Star Card rather than a Power Up, that'd be great.
Next patch.

February's patch should be going into cert soon. I'm not sure why January's took so long, hopefully this one will go faster.
