That's entirely possible. I did blitz BF a bit during the beta but over 30 hours still seems a lot.

Or maybe the in-game page shows the time you actually played and the other shows the time you were logged in to your EA account?

I love the crazy Ewok village at the rebel end of the new map, I really hope they turn the treetop section into a dedicated small map.

Also noticed a few frame hitches too, nothing too major though.

Same here, last phase of the map but only when I go up into the village. I get some bad stuttering for a few seconds every game.

PS4? I only noticed one stutter the first match I played on the map. Nothing since then

Yep. I played the map a few times, then when a friend logged on I went back and played a round in Supremacy then 2 more in WA. Can't recall if it transpired in Supremacy but definitely each time in WA. Always at the beginning of the third phase, in the village.

Can you perhaps record it? I reported it to dice now so atleast they know about it .

I just got that.

Every time near the M com

Sure, I'll do that going forward but I've not messed with share factory too much. Might have to hook up the el gato again.

Yes, near the uplink in the treetops for me

 

[Toa TAK]

Jetpacks are overrated.

There. I said it.

 

[lawnchair]

So purdy. Too bad Im not too fond of the larger game modes

same :|

i'm not sure exactly why there isn't a larger scale TDM .. what benefit does it get from being only on smaller maps? they should add a Big Blast mode. and Conquest while they're at it.

if they do that instead of adding some gimmicky new modes in the DLC's i'd be grateful. i don't want "speederbike chase!" or "greedo bountyhunting!" some bullshit, give me some MEAT dice.

also, every shooter should have a mode where you can turn off respawns.

 

[Zank Frappa]

I play the large game modes exclusively. I love the all out warfare and the feeling of an epic battle it gives.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Turning Point is my favorite mode in the game at the moment.

What is turning points objective?

 

[MADGAME]

What is turning points objective?

Imperials - Defend 2 control points from Rebel Capture. If successful in defending both control points, the Imperials win.

Rebels - Capture either control point. If successful, it pushes the Imperials back to another set of control points and begins phase 2.

Phases 2 and 3 - same as above except with increasingly challenging control point locations, and the last phase is a single control point.

This sounds really fun, is it 20 players each side?

 

[lawnchair]

whenever i play that mode i end up on the imperial side being reamed mercilessly.

i can say the same for walker assault.

If Supremacy has taught me nothing else, it's if you tell 20 random people they need to stand in a circle, at least 15 of those people will immediately run in the opposite direction.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yeah, most just play it as a giant arena team deathmatch.

DICE should have more xp/rewards/etc focus around team play objectives, and less on kill count to try and shift it.

 

[lawnchair]

Yeah, most just play it as a giant arena team deathmatch.

which should exist as its own mode

 

[Laputa_94]

Its surprised me how easy it is to flank the rebels up in the trees on the new map by walking around them yourself. I was able to do it multiple times and get a fair amount of their snipers. This was on supremacy at the last rebel point.

I found a pretty good hidey-hole near that same point. In two games I went from a K/D ratio deficit to easily 2.0 KDR. I was shocked that nobody figured out where I was.

They treat that circle like an orbital strike! Supremacy is still my favorite mode, although I would prefer the capture areas to be a bit bigger.

People want dem fragZ cause high K/D-ratio gives them a huge E-penis

 

[5taquitos]

Does anyone know of anywhere online that has map layouts? For whatever reason, I still can't wrap my head around how the original Endor large map is laid out.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Agreed.

Just seem them for Hoth and Jakku

maybe Dennis is excited about fixing the melee and doing team balancing ...


nah, why would he be

"Fixing" melee is dangerous -- I don't won't the battefield to look this:

[lawnchair]

are those supposed to be personal shields?

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Yes. That's what will happen if you nerf melee.

 

[Palpable]

Yes. That's what will happen if you nerf melee.

Melee doesn't need nerfing, it needs fixing. It's arbitrarily a 1 or 2 hit kill. It needs to be consistent.

 

[Ozorov]

Yes. That's what will happen if you nerf melee.

Cycler rifle my friend. Best feeling

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Cycler rifle my friend. Best feeling

And dare I say Homing Missle? That was a good anti-shield measure pre-patch.

Spoiler

It's useless now, I know

 

[Lulu23]

Melee doesn't need nerfing, it needs fixing. It's arbitrarily a 1 or 2 hit kill. It needs to be consistent.

Isn't it one hit from behind and two hits from the front? I like it that way.

 

[JimiNutz]

Isn't it one hit from behind and two hits from the front? I like it that way.

Yeah it seems pretty consistent to me. One from behind and two from the front.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Yeah, it's been inconsistent in my experience. At times I can kill with one melee from the front and at other times 2 from the back.

 

[PrankT]

Isn't it one hit from behind and two hits from the front? I like it that way.

It's completely random in most of my encounters.

How much advanced notice are we expecting for Outer Rim release date?

 

[Ozorov]

How much advanced notice are we expecting for Outer Rim release date?

Leta hope 1-5 days so we can get it on tuesday

We are supposed to get a trailer before it releases, that much we know.

If we look at Jakku, we got the trailer two days ahead.

 

[MADGAME]

Leta hope 1-5 days so we can get it on tuesday

My thoughts exactly. I'd like to give a few days notice at work for taking Tues-Fri off

That is of course I decide to buy the pass, leaning toward yes but need full disclosure of content first. Unknown 4th expansion aside, this seems like it could be the weakest one.

I mean if they are going to release it to non-season pass-holders in March also (don't think they've ever said anything about that) it has to release next week due the 2-weeks early access.

 

[lawnchair]

melee is random as fuuuuuuck.

now that they've done some balancing of the guns, i mostly understand why i die in battlefront and i'm fine with it. melee is the exception.

 

[MADGAME]

If we look at Jakku, we got the trailer two days ahead.

I don't recall, what day of the week did we get Jakku trailer?

I do think there is a difference this time though as Jakku was 2 maps while this is an expansion with at least 4 maps, new weapons, star cards, heroes, etc. And it's paid content.

We need more than a day or two heads up!

Yep....just a few observations of melee in this game

-Im within range and melee....totally miss
-Melee within range and connect, guy melees back, I die in 1 hit
-Another player and I melee back and forth until 1 of us is dead
-Another player melees me from a distance of roughly 10-12ft away...I die instantly
-Im practically standing on the guys feet, melee, my gun literally passes through the guys head, no damage.

I was wrong, it was only one day ahead. We got the gameplay-trailer on Monday and it released on Tuesday.

Any reason why the Free Content-trailer on EA Star Wars youtube-account still is just available via a direct link? They've not uploaded it so you find it by searching.

 

[Ozorov]

Outer Rim will be releasing soon. You won't have to wait much longer.

 

[Eggbok]

Played Survivors of Endor map for the first time, it's absolutely gorgeous!
