And btw anyone experiencing this partner bug when the game sometimes randomly picks another guy as your partner even when you already joined with a friend as partner? really annoying.
Hope they fix that or maybe overhaul the entire system (give me 3 or 4 people squads

80% body damage, no more OHK.
Only OHK with a headshot.
That thing would still be better than the Cycler Rifle.

Both the Homing Shot and Barrage are useless. I'm all for balancing and fine tuning to not have OP weapons, but all weapons should have some use, even if situational. With the current stats of these 2 cards, Dice might as well remove them from the game.
I occasionally see both still being used.

Oh yeah multiple times a session sometimes.

I still occasionally use barrage. It's actually really good for defending enclosed areas especially tunnels.
I just fire them out to either flush people out or stop them from advancing. The delayed explosion guarantees you will either see someone immediately break cover or get yourself some breathing room to heal up or change cover.

I think that's about the best use of Barrage you can get, but that 35 second cooldown time though.

Yeah the homing shot is completely pointless now. They should reset it's lock time and speed but require maintaining an active lock with maybe a 1/2 second delock time - no more fire and forget.
Making it useless has also made personal shield OP for the small objective modes.

I for one love playing drop zone on the tatooine survival map and having every drop be a 10 min slog where every attempt to take it is screwed by one guy jumping in with personal shield and resetting the counter.

I carry Ion Shot for Drop Zone, and make it a bad day for them. Cycler is also great at headshotting, while they sit there to resetting the timer.
I have a feeling DICE crushed it for us.

Well the population of the game does double on the weekends. Still, I don't imagine that we got more than 75% done at most.
Either way, double xp weekend incoming. Good for the non-level-50 players and good for the rest of us to save up some credits.
next weekend? have they said that?

I still don't know what the best game mode is. Drop is fun.

Complete challenges. It'll boost you up fast. I went from 44 at 39 hours played to 50 at 44 hours played because of doing challenges. I'd complete 2 or 3 challenges in one match of Supremacy. My award score would be 5000 plus (even got 20,000 award score once).
One of mine was "Complete A Match"
did you finish it

Oh yes, the challenges do a lot. I have just been busy the last 2 weeks, and could not really play. I will have free time if it is this weekend, so it well help even more.
Just in time for the first expansion pack when they should add levels I assume.
Hahaha
Truly an inspiration.
Mine under the weekend were: get 30 kills and get 10 kills with a hero x 2

I don't know why so many people seem to hate that map. I love it whenever it shows up.

On Drop Zone it's a clusterfuck. One team all spawns inside the caves and it's incredibly difficult to actually get to the drop pods.

Had some of the best Dropzone matches on that map. Hated it at first, but now it's one of my favorite maps. Frantic stuff.

It being such a small map makes the spawn points that much worse. Ugh. I get upset just thinking about that level lol

Dune Sea Exchange is the best Drop Zone map in the game.
PintSizedSlasher
Member
That makes it such a good map for Dropzone. Always very tight matches because every player is always pretty close to the pod when spawning.
Agreed. That and Jawa refuge are my favorites.

Has it been talked about how bad the leveling rewards are laid out?
I've been playing casually a few hours a week since launch and I have 2 trophies... and still I JUST unlocked personal shield, and I still can't use a single interesting appearance which are all locked above rank 40.
It's not as if i'm bad at the game, I have a 1.5 k/d (though I am always the one actually pushing for the objective and not just getting kills... don't get me started on people hanging outside any objective to get kills rather than actually win)
Seems like the rank unlocks were as if this is a hardcore shooter which people would clear through quickly... when obviously it's a casual game, and imo it's best played for a few hours here and there.
I feel bad for kids playing the game running around withiut anything cool unlocked.
I'm sure everyone else here has black stormtrooper though

Apparently the 22% was from the first 36 hours of data, not four days. Slegdehammer also said the full data will be released soon.
