The DLC weapons and cards I hope are unlocked for purchase from the start.

I assume they will be. Only initial obstacle I could see is a few being level based (if levels are added like initially mentioned).

I still haven't gotten to play as Hoth Luke. Can never find the token.
If I move sideways while shooting the Cycler it feels like it puts on some RNG-stuff where the bullet goes - It doesn't go where the dot on the crosshair is and I'm not thinking about the projectile drop.
Pro-sketch:
And the shot goes somewhere in the red zone
Yes. When using the Cycler Rifle, moving introduces reticle spread. Even whilst ADS.
taken from http://symthic.com/battlefront-weapon-info?w=Cycler_Rifle
Moving introduces a 1.5º spread in ADS and hip fire has a permanent 3º spread.

He's so hard to distinguish from the rebels on that map.
Would they even acknowledge this?
Probably, but zooming should be the same on both first and third person views. I've shot the wall so many times with the cycler because the crosshair is off when I lean out from a corner.
Yeah, mounted weapons are so jacked up. Same with the ATAT when zoomed. How can they find that acceptable?
Indeed.
"Hey, that guy's running toward me... wait, why does he have this blue glow? FUUU-"
Should've given Luke his pilot suit. Nice, bright orange...

So how badly are they going to nerd the Pulse Cannon?
Earned the platinum today after clocking in around 30 hours total playtime.
Probably won't be playing the game that much until the dlc content is released. If the first expansion proves to be really good I might bite at the season pass otherwise I'll just wait until it's on sale.

So you only care about trophies?
No, I just don't have any online friends who play this game often so the trophies were what kept me coming back. I don't really like playing multiplayer games alone but if I enjoy the game itself, I like having something to work towards (i.e. trophies). If I had a group of friends who played the game often, I'd for sure be playing with them regardless of trophies.

. I think the cycler has a very good feeling to it, especially when you get that headshot from a long distance. Didnt know you were on the ps4, I'll add you later
In my experience talking with them, yes

Had the same just now.
I quit the game and booted back up and had a game within seconds. Weird.

The matchmaking has been known to be wonky, and a reboot seems to fix it.

Yes, it is on the WA Tatooine Map. I am looking forward to seeing the inside layout. I always enjoyed exploring it, in SWG, it was really well done in it. Hearing a random Jabba laugh while fighting would be oh so good.
Cool! Is the new Sullust map the thing behind the Empire starting point in WA, since it seems to be "the factories of Sullust" behind it?
I really hope DICE will priority team-balancing both between and under matches. I just played a Drop Zone-match, it was 1vs6 the whole match. Between maps it should switch players to even the teams skillwise and under matches just to even numbers.
DeepEnigma

That might just be. Good eye.
And yes, team balancing is a must to be patched it. They should not only juggle them, but balance them out as you said. I think they are aware from a Tweet I seen a while back as far as matchmaking needing love.

Walker Assault is such a bullshit mode.

I have to agree. I tried going back to it last night and found it to be a total cluster fuck. It was basically just a series of spawn deaths followed by 1 of our walkers falling at the first checkpoint (they only had 3 Y-wings, how is this even possible?) and being killed constantly from broken A-wings strafing our team over and over and over. This should be the best mode in the game and I really want to enjoy it but its always annoying and frustrating.
I literally went from a 44-8 in Drop Zone to a 4-24 in Walker Assault.

Still not a fan, huh?

Nope. Still needs major balancing.

Yeah, I avoid that mode for now.
i'm scared of the treehouses. it's unnatural to conduct battle from a treehouse.

Interesting you guys say the problems you have in WA. I have the exact problems in Supremacy - the absolute WORST spawns in any mode hands down. My rate of spawning into a shit-show is insane, especially on Hoth. And Hoth and Jundland are complete air superiority maps for rebels, they get A-Wings the whole game and strafe-kill everyone over and over.
Not saying WA doesn't need tweaking, but for me it's nowhere near the same levels of frustration as Supremacy.

Btw, speaking of Supremacy.
You know how Rebels have like a geographical unfair advantage of getting to the rover first on Tatooine?
I've recently noticed a trend where in most cases, Imperial players will stop short of fruitlessly charging into the control point and instead proceed to mow the fucking lawn of whoever runs out of the rover and then proceed to take it.

Pretty much.
Use jump packs to take that higher ground overlooking the sandcrawler whilst others encircle and move in from the front and along the trails. If you're quick enough to contest the point, the rebels eventually get pushed back because they have no air support to clear the high ground.
I actually quite like Jundland Wastes when the teams are fairly even. Some seriously pitched battles can take place around the sandcrawler.

I should have clarified my opinion. All the big game modes are a total shit show except maybe Turning Point.
Yeah, I used to hate the crawler with a burning passion but I'd be lying if I didn't say that it was responsible for the best team efforts in Supremacy matches I've had
The leia-challenge ends today so we should get update-news today or tomorrow

I'm most hyped for Turning point on all maps

Supremacy is especially very frustrating to me on tatooine. The Rebels have way better spawns than the empire.
Both Supremacy and WA need some tweaking.
Turning point so far felt great. Especially with no annoying Heroes.
Yeah the starting point is in a huge favor for the rebels on tatooine, especially when they got Luke from the first seconds. But i still like the map since its a very good middle point to fight for

They can still post some news
If not today, then tomorrow.But this week, must be it xD
Wonder if we will get a video about this new map or just a bland blog post like most of the game gets :/
