The same guy rammed me twice with an air speeder while I was in an AT-ST. I got the kill both times.
Hopefully this patch prevents ramming from working.

Is this a new fix? That is awesome if it is working as intended.

It is still making me explode from full health, so ramming still works right now. I just wish they'd make it so only the rammer exploded. Same with that fucking speeder bike and heroes. Bullshit I can be killed from full health as Luke in one hit with it.

They really should make riding on top of the At-at impossible on the Endor map.
During the uplink fase you can't even hit them. It's so fucking annoying.

I wish DICE/EA would be more open about the Outer Rim DLC.I mean it will probably launch mid March for Season Pass owners.
I would really like see more detailed informations.
Like BF Hardline, they already show stuff for the last DLC pack.

Ha! Fortunately I'm on PS4 and seem to be finding matches okay for the bigger modes. I'd rather see some team balancing to even out player counts at a minimum, and matching skill if possible. Kind of frustrating always being top 3 on a team that gets spanked because the bottom 10 players are averaging ~3-6 kills and ~18-28 deaths.
Speaking as a largely solo player, evenly distributing the skilled and the unskilled across both teams between rounds would be nice. As would stacking teams against pub-stomping parties.

Would be cool if the new Endor map supports Air vehicles
Noticed that too. Sometimes I turn of the Jakku maps if I don't feel like playing them and the game tends to find matches quicker. Especially outside of peak hours.

I've heard that they will do Jakku a must-download with the February update. And I dont think the endor map will support air vehicles

Uh so I think I came across a glitch playing a round of Fighter Squadron this morning.
I was on the Empire and the game was close the entire round but at the end it said that we had 200 tickets and the Rebels had 197 but the result of the match was a draw...WTF?

It is a known glitch. You still get the win

Yeah I had a daily challenge to win 3 rounds of fighter squadron. Took me exactly six games. Start as imperial - because chances are someone quit when they finished as rebels, then - lose every time as imperial, win every time as rebels.

Yeah the whole thing is ridiculous, thank goodness the patch will fix this.
Just got this game yesterday -- after the initial "waiting in the install game despite being a disc" period was over, did the tutorial and jumped into some random games. Not the best approach, got my arse handed to me more than once (which was made worse by the fact that I had the highest kill rank on my team). But! That being said it was pretty fun. Did some drop zones and regular PvP matches, ranked up a few times, will probably try some hero stuff today and solo to get better acquainted with the system and the powerups I randomly got.
What platform are you playing on? Be sure to download the Jakku-DLC

fire up battlefront to see that my daily challenge is the dreaded "win a match"
RIP in Peace

PS4, had it queued up to install before I even got the game!
Good! Just let us know if you have any questions

Just grab a Speederbike on Endor and ram the shit out of 'em.

That needs to be patched ASAP.

Yep. Not long ago I finally got to play hero since forever, chose Vader, ready to choke some throats and throw some sabers.... Boom! Speederbike! Instadeath!
I think I'll take the HvV-route

Yep, can be done in no time.
I have a theory melee attacks actually trigger a short distance in front of the player, so when you're right in someone's face the melee attack may actually be hitting their back, resulting in a OHK.

Dunno I just LMAO when it happens
Really hope we get speeders on the new Hoth map.

Having seen Dice's past attempts to fix melee, I would say we are better off just sticking with it being a crapshoot.
i guess it mirrors the true reality of the battlefield, where when you find yourself in hand to hand combat with the enemy it is at best an awkward and clunky situation

It is so hard to find a Hero token it is really frustrating for it to happen.
Does the Bounty Hunter trait have a chance of giving you a hero token?
Vehicle tokens spawn in predefined locations, but the hero tokens can take the place of any regular powerup so it's random.
Lee Chaolan
Member
Aren't there a few general locations where the Hero Tokens will always spawn, or is it all random? I don't play the large modes at all much.
Nope
Tal Shiar Agent
Member
I'm pretty sure it randomly takes over a regular powerup for your team. I've seen a hero token only for an enemy to run over it and get a regular powerup.
ElzarTheBam
Member
Yeah, I can see that.
Really do wish hero token were more visible, maybe a minimap icon or audible cue if you're near it.

Heroes. So I guess we'll get two heroes on the outer rim? Sweet

Han's mine. That rapid fire DL-44 is just too good.
I wonder what hero and villian it could be. Also really interested in the new weapons and star cards
Chewie and 1 of the bounty hunters are likely the new heroes/villains.
