I think so. Greedo also seems cool to play.
Really like what I'm seeing thus far.
Maps look really cool, new mode looks fun, heroes look surprisingly fun.
Weequay:
Man that bragging right looks so good.

Really excited for this. I wonder what they have in mind.
There are two new rifles and two new pistols. Two via DLC and two are via Hutt Contracts.
I can't tell them apart yet so I dunno how the DLC-pistol is. If you watch the trailer you will get a small glimse at Greedo's pistol which is the one in the DLC-pack. And it seems to fit your description pretty good.
Oh. That DLT-19x is probably the non-DLC one then since the DLC rifle is listed as Relby V-10.
EDIT Greedo's pistol looks like DT-12, which is the DLC pistol apparently. A heavy blaster in SW Legends, ie a magnum-type weapon like DL-44.
So probably not something i care about.
EDIT2 besides, it looks ugly.

Wait, so there won't be any new Walker Assault or Supremacy maps with the outer rim dlc?
edit: That shit is like releasing a new BF4 pack without any new conquest maps.

So thoughts on Outer Rim being a playlist.
I understand that dlc owners will be less than vanilla owners, but will the player count be so low they felt they had to lump all Outer Rim game modes into one playlist? Hope we don't need to be concerned, but still a little bummed I can't choose Cargo or any other mode and play it on repeat.
I'm liking everything I've seen, and it sounds like the updates and changes will add value and there is more to come, but it would be nice to mix the dlc with vanilla content in game specific playlists.

I think you can choose a specific game mode on Outer Rim also?

Only to start with, then you play what's next in the rotation. So if you choose Extraction, then next mode might be HvV or Cargo, etc. It keeps rotating because all modes are 8v8. They've said a few times it's an 8-10 hour playlist.
Oh I see
Huh, that's an...interesting way to do it.

The CM just said ramming is going to change. Both will die in a ship to ship collision.
Interesting is one perspective. Not sure how I feel about it. Again, I can see the need to ensure games are found quickly, but if you're in an Extraction mood, you'll have to keep backing out and picking that game mode over and over. Most likely you will join mid-match. Hopefully they get plenty of feedback to change this, and the player count that owns DLC is enough to support it.

I like the idea of this since I often only play one or max two games per mode then I switch

What I was hearing between the lines was that it's a bit of an experiment, which could change in the future.

he'll be the next villain, too

I'll give it a chance, but sometimes I get in a "mood" to play certain modes. Dice have delivered so far so I'll give the benefit of the doubt and see how it goes.

I'm so fucking bummed that the new DLC is only for the smaller game modes.
That one close quarters combat DLC from the BF4 Season Pass was pretty amazing.
But still, ugh.

Well SW reddit seems quite happy.

That place was a cesspool when Nien and Greedo were revealed.

From everything Ive heard today (I didnt get to watch the stream). Im pretty content with it. A lot of the new additions seem really fun and I love how they are still tweaking the older stuff. The Vader buff is pretty good; a four second block to an eight is pretty significant. I also like how they are handling the DLC, so it doesnt really split the player base. The PC player base wouldnt be looking too hot if they split it. So Im looking forward to the 22nd! It also makes me wonder what they have in store for the later DLCs. This one seems pretty good, so I cant wait to see the future ones. After this I don't really have any regrets purchasing the season pass.
Vader also got a Health-buff and the saber throw goes further.

Damn. He's just going to be a straight up tank now.

Additional morsels:
Greedo and Nien will only be available in MP modes at launch, will be patched into single player modes at a future date.
Dice is beginning to flesh out process of showing personal stats at the end of a game. More stuff coming in future updates.
5 new trophies and 2 new dioramas are coming, not sure it is part of Outer Rim

I feel vindicated for always playing him.
EDIT: fuck yeah more dioramas. Looks like I'm going to have to tackle the two new missions after all.
I asked a DICE-employee about that "Medic-Bomb" aka Bacta Bomb. He said "We'll talk about that later.
I hope they're going to be in this update.
This refinery map needs a flying R2D2

Ooh nice, wonder if it is a cloud of healing, like the opposite of dioxsis.
Probably something like that yes. We also saw a trait called 'Berserk'. And another Star Card called Ion Neutralizer
:-( So we'll be unlocking them with the Contracts but unable to use them?
I guess I should just wait to find out.
They're playing a debug-version of the game. So we're not going to see them
He said "large like 18 players".

Yeah but I thought you couldn't party up with more than 8? Think I may be confused on this one.

Edit: Oh, it's not over.

Hahah, love the ending.
Have you checked your Sony Rewards points lately? (I think I remember that you're on PS4) I just checked the other day and I had enough for a $10 PSN voucher, which I'll be using for the season pass. Plus, I think I read points reset every year at the end of March.
I didn't even know that was a thing. How do I check?
