haha are they adding a roll dodge?

 

[Toa TAK]

I'm willing to bet it's a Star Card.

 

[Ozorov]

I think I saw a new trait, but not sure. They're also adding playlists. Also adding Hero Traits

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

So, no large modes on the new maps....

 

[JonCha]

Traits for heroes: Greedo has a trait so his grenades are upgraded and he caps out at the thermal imploder as you gain more kills. Pretty cool.

 

[Ozorov]

Went AFK for a bit, but really?

 

[Toa TAK]

So, no large modes on the new maps....

That blows. I love the big modes.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

So, no large modes on the new maps....

Serious?


Also, what are playlists?

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Went AFK for a bit, but really?

If I understood correctly, yes.
The focus was on close quarters because there was large demand for more cargo/HvV/Droidrun maps. And the new mode is also a close quarters mode.

I feel like this is partially my fault for talking about the BFC and tournaments so much with Dennis.

Haha, maybe you can have a serious talk with him again

 

[Ozorov]

"All modes in Outer Rim is 16-player modes" or something like that

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Did they post the patch notes yet?

 

[5taquitos]

It does kind of make you wonder about the future of the large modes. I mean, if there are no WA maps in this pack, how are they going to include them in the Bespin and Death Star packs? It kinda seems like its all CQC from here on out.

I will be pissed if we don't get more Supremacy and Turning Point maps at least. I could see why Walker Assault wouldn't work on Bespin and Death Star, but there is no reason why Supremacy and Turning Point couldn't. We already have maps for those modes without air vehicles. I'd love to see a gigantic internal Supremacy map for Death Star.

 

[Toa TAK]

I would've chosen Leia, too.

I'm confident that they'll add some more free large maps.

 

[Ozorov]

Grenades no longer go through squad shields

 

[OdysseusVA]

Grenades no longer go through squad shields

Why would they do this?

 

[DrGonzo615]

Why would they do this?

Cuz nobody used squad shields really.

Dead Rancor...no buy.

Seriously though, the Jabba Palace map looks pretty lame.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Why would they do this?

To me at least it always felt like a worthless powerup. This actually makes it useful.

 

[lawnchair]

im okay with focus on smaller maps/modes here, i really only play smaller modes anyway..

 

[5taquitos]

New rebel head??

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

8 vs 8 HvV with 4 vs 4 heroes
Cool.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Maybe it'll get me to play those modes more. I really only play Supremacy now.

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Really liking the look of these new maps.

 

[Ozorov]

Yup me too

 

[DrGonzo615]

Really liking the look of these new maps.

Sorosub looks interesting visually but Jabbas looks pretty barren IMO.

Neither layout looks very good to me though.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Yup me too

I really wish that they'd add real Conquest or real Domination. Even if they were only 8v8 or 10v10 I'd play them more than Supremacy, probably.

Well, Jabba is widely known for his minimalistic style of interior decoration.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Please have a playlist with no heroes, please have a playlist with no heroes, please have a playlist with no heroes, especially Fighter Squadron.

What are these playlists I've been reading about?

Mmm, yeah. Now that I think about it I usually drop them where they were picked up heh

So grenades should bounce back if thrown from within?

 

[Ozorov]

How will they drag this out for 6 hours?

 

[5taquitos]

I dunno, I've seen enough already to know I'm getting it, I just need a list of patch notes

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

I'd love it if you are able to produce a source that supports this statement.

 

[DrGonzo615]

Is it really just these two maps? I thought I read that it was 4 maps?

 

[MADGAME]

Watching on mobile so I can't post and watch simultaneously, but here are my notes so far.

Outer Rim is considered "close quarters" pack
Scatter gun pierces personal shields
Adrenaline Stim triggers regeneration immediately
All Outer Rim modes are 8v8
New power up - Disruptor Rifle
Grenades and Missiles no longer go through squad shields. Cycler, Scattergun will still pierce shield and Ion Grenade will auto nullify it.
Lvl 60 - Weequay skin
Combat Roll - soldiers and some heroes (Han, Leia, Nien, Greedo)


HvV
Choose your hero, 8v8

Extraction
Rebels get hero first phase, Imps get hero last phase

Outer Rim is 8-10 hours of rotating playlist
Heros have sliding scale traits
Nien - Turret indoors, fast cooldown pulse rifle, proximity mines orbital strike
Greedo - Grenades - level 1 Dioxis, lvl 2 Thermal Detonator lvl 3 Imploder
Vader Buff - increased block time 4s to 8s

 

[Ozorov]

Is it really just these two maps? I thought I read that it was 4 maps?

It is 4, they're showing those in 3-4 hours according to the schedule

 

[5taquitos]

I'd love it if you are able to produce a source that supports this statement.

Maybe not Jabba specifically, but the palace was built by monks that live as brains in walking jars centuries before Jabba showed up, so it would definitely be sparse

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

What do they mean by playlist?

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Not happy about this Roll feature... i hope there is a cooldown or something for it.

 

[Toa TAK]

Cooldown for rolling?

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

It looked pretty decorated to me in the film, like with frozen human bodies.

 

[Ozorov]

I loooooooooooooooooove the idea of Hutt Contracts. Probably the thing I'm most hyped about

I missed that and won't be able to get back on the stream for a while. Details!!

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

Confused by this a well.

 

[Ozorov]

IIRC :

You unlock a Contract from Jabba with credits
You get three "missions/goals" to do
Once you finish them you unlock the weapon/star card

 

[Woorloog]

Pretty sure Han already has combat roll, it is probably expanded for others.
Crouch-move triggers it.
