Hopefully the weapons and Star cards are available to use/buy with credits right away and not needed to be unlocked.

If they dont raise the level bar why shouldnt they be available directly?

 

[Skid 4 Dead]

I wonder if the DLC heros will be usable in all modes and all maps, or if they'll be exclusive to the DLC maps/modes.

 

[5taquitos]

Chewie and 1 of the bounty hunters are likely the new heroes/villains.

I dunno, that may be better suited for Bespin. I could see Obi-Wan since this pack is still Tatooine focused (partially).

I wonder if the DLC heros will be usable in all modes and all maps, or if they'll be exclusive to the DLC maps/modes.

If they're smart, it would be all maps so that seeing the Heroes would attract people into purchasing the expansions.

Big IF.

 

[5taquitos]

Big IF.

I know, it's taken them 3 months to roll the free maps into the vanilla package so that everyone can play the same game that they all have.

 

[Sayers]

i wonder if the melee situation will be addressed in the next patch. always seems like such a crapshoot.

I meant to bring this up yesterday. I can't tell if its supposed to be a one shot or what but I've gotten into melee fights before where both people go into it with full health, each person attacks once almost simultaneously and the result is one person dies and the other runs off with 50% heath.

Wont only the people who bought the dlc see the new heroes? As i would guess it will be a "+ outer rim" thing like battle of jakku is having

Well if it works like past DICE games the new weapons, cards, and heroes will be patched into the game so DLC owners can use them in regular maps.

 

[Ozorov]

I really hope they wont limit the new heroes to one mode and like four maps

 

[Ozorov]

So we wont have another jakku-situation? Or will DLC-players only play with other DLC-players?

If they want to play the new maps, yes, it will be DLC owners only.

But if i own the dlc and wants to play on hoth with my new cool dlc-gun. Can i play with my non-dlc-mate then?

You should.

 

[Ozorov]

You should.

Neat

 

[Lee Chaolan]

So, I'm playing Heroes vs Villains, and have what I figure to be the winning kill, and this happens.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP_IcnssI4Q&feature=youtu.be

So, uh, anyone have something like this happen to them before? xD

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I really wish that people would stop rushing Supremacy and ending it in like 3 minutes. It's not fun.

You needed to beat Force ghost Luke first, duh.

 

[Kovet]

It feels like there is no point playing the objective anymore. might as well just go for kills, sometimes your teammates cant contribute alot so might as well play drop zone and farm kills on people going to the objective.

I had a 20+ minute match on hoth last day. It was amazing

Best Sup. match I had was a 30 minute one on Tattooine.


Ended on a massive comeback sweep victory too.

 

[EatChildren]

.

Still getting dumped in 200 ping matches, so fuck it.

 

[Xzan]

Even with server site set to Australia? It feels pretty erratic for me even with it set to Australia but I can't tell how bad the ping actually is on PS4.

This is the game at its best. I also love intense drop zone matches

 

[DukeLongfellow]

I wonder if HvV will be overhauled to make an all hero/villain, 6v6 team. On some maps, like Jakuu, it makes it almost... MOBAish?

Could be. But we don't know the other 4 modes they'll add.

 

[EatChildren]

Is there a ebb and flow to the location of hero icons spawning? Because I was just in a match where a guy was Luke at least 3 times in a row back-to-back.

Even with server site set to Australia? It feels pretty erratic for me even with it set to Australia but I can't tell how bad the ping actually is on PS4.

Yep. Zero change on my end. Still getting dumped in 150 - 200 ping servers.

How? I thought there are set time limits for that.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

How? I thought there are set time limits for that.

Adds a minute every time a control point is captured. One must have rapidly changed hands multiple times early in the game. I've had Supremacy matches last roughly 20 minutes because of this. It's great.

 

[Ozorov]

Probably less then one month till new mode, heroes, star cards and weapons...

Yup.


A good 10 minutes of that match was an intense back n forth for that sand rover middle point. And that was already after coming back from the Rebels about to wipe us out in the last point.

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Jesus, I really need to finish some other games. Still have Mad Max and Uncharted 2 and 3 waiting.
But I...just...can't...stop....playing...

 

[Ozorov]

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

This is what, the second day and we have until Monday end of day?

 

[Ozorov]

That was after ~24 hours

 

[Risgroo]

Helmet confirmed!

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I'm not great at math, but does that work out to be roughly a thousand hours played per actual hour?

 

[MMarston]

Yeah drop this and go play those already.


Control! You must learn control!

 

[Ozorov]

yup, so 1000 players are playing as leia 24/7 in average

 

[Ozorov]

I'm feeling you bro. I just finished Witcher 3, now back to some pewpew!

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Fuck, forgot about the challenge. Just chose to play as Luke. Let's hope it doesn't come down to 5 minutes played....

 

[Ozorov]

At this pace we'll reach about 154 000 hours

Wonder how many alternate hero skins they're still holding back as rewards for these community challenges.
They still can do:

- Leia white gown
- Luke Tatooine
- Luke Endor
- Han Endor

I hope we'll get some Empire/Rebel-skins as rewards as well.

Another question: Do someone know if DICE has said anything about increasing the level-cap with Outer Rim? I do know they've confirmed that the level-cap will be increased but not anything about when.

I don't think they are holding them back, rather just releasing them as soon as they are finished. The community events are just a way to create excitement in the user base and generate good PR. They probably don't have all of the proper skins sitting in a folder somewhere just chilling, they are probably actively working on them.

 

[MADGAME]

After playing nearly every day since launch, I'm still having so much fun. I do wish there was a better way to distribute vehicle, weapon and hero pickups without it being a competitive scramble amongst teammates.

They'll probably raise it with every expansion? The question is with how many levels? Or maybe they'll do prestige?

Yeah, they're probably working their asses of at Dice with the upcoming patches and expansions, so you're probably right.

What they could do is limit the time you can play hero or At-At/At-St to once per match.

 

[Ozorov]

"we are defiantly looking into ways to make the player journey deeper with future patches but I can't go into details yet "

 

[MADGAME]

What they could do is limit the time you can play hero or At-At/At-St to once per match.

I suppose, but sometimes your time with each is severely limited with little you can do to change it. If the Rebels but up a few anti-vehicle turrets near spawn, have several attentive aircraft, Ion Shot/Torpedoes at the ready, etc. Heroes you should get more time on average so maybe a modified version of your suggestion could be an option.

In the bigger modes it always feels like a constant race all match for the team to get pickups. I feel like there is an opportunity for it to be improved, but feels like the current setup has been commuted to.

It won't fail, they'll make sure of that. Bad PR otherwise.
