It's also annoying they show your completed contracts after every game. I KNOW I FINISHED THEM THANKS FOR REMINDING ME DICE.
My DLT9X one shows up as 97% complete every time, even though I have it unlocked and have used it :/
None of my actual active contracts appear.

Nice catch. Never thought of that
But why should I have to wait to leave? I feel like staying through all the post match screens would only screw with the team shuffling.

Sometimes I have my moments of glory. For the most part however.. ugh. It's just not the same, it feels like I am fighting the random ass spread on every gun while I am getting gibbed by just about everyone. Matchmaking seems even worse than before, with it being complete stomps either way.
Also, I would almost trade back the terror that was the homing rocket spam for this Jawa shotgun, personal shield, jumppack BS that I have been seeing loads of.

Im getting into the same boat. The game now is full of snipers, grenade spamming, Hero K/D whores, Personal Shields etc.
And the Servers/Netcode whatever it is, is just bad.
Im getting constantly instant killed by EE3s and E11s. But i need way more shots to kill someone.
I still like the game, but im not sure what happened. It just isnt fun anymore getting killed by all this one hit bullshit

Yup. I used to have a 3.6 KD while being able to play the objective. Now I can barely stay positive. Most of the time, and especially when on a shitty team, I die instantly at spawn due to AT-ST, AT-AT, Pulse Cannon, E-11 from across the map, cycler etc.
Hell, I got one hero token in two days of playing. And I spawn as Han Solo in the middle of tier two uplinks on Sullust. I lose 80 health on the spot due to two AT-AT's focusing me (+ orbital) and having five fucking shadowtroopers already standing ready on the ridges. Oh fuck off..
^ Agreed. Play more and you'll get better again. Your aim was off, oh well. Nothing is as bad as the homing shot and jumpcaster spam. If you don't like shields bring the cycler or the scatter gun. Every rifle and pistol are great. Don't even start complaining about the shock blaster.
This is the largest one I could find via GIS

I experienced a post-hotfix leveling hiccup. I leveled up to 54 in-game, and received confirmation on the summary after the game. Then I played another game, and after that game on the summary screen I was only 2/3 of the way to 54. Not cool. I re-leveled the rest of the way to 54 and in another game and received confirmation. Then during the next game, I randomly received a message I leveled to 54. What the heck is going on?
No problems since, but it happened today.

Yea I'm with you on this.
I haven't played since December and the game feels the same, or maybe even better since there's no homing shot spam anymore.
My KDR has stayed the same 2.6 it was before and that's with some silly deaths due to me going for all the Hutt Contracts.

really?
Maybe you should join up the lobbys i play in... you wont post that again
Im playing the game almost every two days or so, i dont have to play more. Not my fault when DICE thinks all this One shot crap or free oul of jail stuff is fun.
You cant kill two or three guys that use that personal shield crap at the same time with the scattergun.
No need to defend that current situation in the game.
Not sure if you played the Outer Rim maps, but this are full of shockblasters... not even fun.
Maybe both of you should stop playing all the Small modes... maybe you will understand us then...

I was sceptical about nien nub and freedom at first but after playing with both of them I've been converted. They are both insanely fun and powerful in the regular modes and they're pretty decent in HvV. So rewarding for aggressive play rushing forward to keep chaining kills especially as greedo.

Working my way through the assignments. Got the Rebly, it's okay, I'd still take the E-11 over it any day. Doing the pistol shit now, man fuck the Scout Pistol.
Yes I have played the Outer Rim maps, and I primarily play Supremacy and Walker Assault. If they aren't using the shock blaster, then they would be using all of the other awesome blasters in this game that are easier to use. Also, people have been using grenades, sniper rifle, and personal shields forever, so I don't know why it would be a new problem now unless you are talking about the impact grenades. I hate the pulse canon myself, but it was expected more people would use it with the homing missile nerf. I don't like that it's so powerful against infantry and vehicles, but such is life.

Holy shit, Focus Fire makes the CA-87 fire one giant slug with infinite range. I sniped people with it on Sorosuub today. Hilarious.
I thought the Outer Rim maps were the small modes?
I've had no bother with the Outer Rim DLC, some folks are using the shield but whatever...

Thinking about getting back into this after months off... Did the A-Wing hitbox ever get fixed?
Yes, but the way I see it, TIEs kinda suck in general
EDIT: Also, after the patch, personal shield is dead to me.

Dang does the DLT-19 X suck donkey. The targeting rifle is more useful than that thing.

The CA-87 benefits greatly from all weapon-upgrade-starcards. Cooling power and Explosive shot are awesome as well in combination with the CA-87.
And for those who are complaining about the influx of people using the shock blaster:
a) it's one of the most difficult blasters to use and it's very situational. If you're getting wrecked by it in larger modes, you're doing something wrong.
b) once everyone is done with the Hutt contracts you'll see them disappear as quickly as they came.
Weapon and Starcard wise I feel the game is the most balanced yet. And aside from a few bugs and wrong choices (HVV in playlist), I think the Outer Rim update is really good.
Extraction is really, really addicting to play. The new maps are great, especially the Jabba ones. Some of the new starcards/weapons are a great addition (Relby, D-18, Stim, Shotgun, Dioxis)
Yep, I like.

I love it and I hate it. Hero Choice is great, because Boba is not so good in 6 v 6 HvV (I'm also great with the Emperor.)
Hate it because people can't just choose a god damn hero and start the match. It's a mode that took long to complete needing 5 wins in the first place, now it takes longer.
They really should change it to 3 wins.

Yeah I'm working towards the Relby now. Working towards it has given me a new appreciation for the T21B.
Can't wait to get my hands on the scatter gun. Will buy that contract next.
Yeah T-21B is awesome if you get used to it. It feels kinda wonky in the beginning but man it's good on big maps.

Yeah I used it on Jakku in a turning point game and couldn't believe how effective it was!
Just unlocked the Relby! Liking it so far.
Just got the same issue. And looking into the official forums we're not the only ones
.Edit: I've now "leveled-up" to 53 three times, when I go back to the menu. Boom! Level 52. The issue seems to be that you're not getting all the XP you should but only a small amount of it.

A new shit topic popped on gaming side and a lot of trolls claiming the game has no content...
Sure i kinda agree that the population on PC is bad, what do they expect from a Console franchise?
PC players will just stay at their CS and LOL etc
So and we finally get some proper Anti Vehicle Star Card?

It came to me that maybe those of you having trouble after the DLC came out might be because of the personal shield nerf?
I never really used it so this patch didn't affect me at all.
Dunno, maybe not.
It's hard for me to find a reason for someone to do worse now since the game feels way more balanced than ever, specially on the 40 player modes.
I hope they Medic bombs have a very short cooldown like medic bags in BF4.

It's marked as a EMP, I wonder if it will disable the vehicles for a while? Make ships uncontrollable and crasch, make AT-ST stand still etc?
Weapon Charts are updated at Symthic.
Looks like DLT19x has ADS movement penalties similar to the star card sniper rifles, as well as a 0.5º hip spread. I've only used the Relby a little but I'm not sure what role it fills. It lacks the power of the EE-3 or the T21B which are the closest comparable weapons. Presumably its good with Explosive Shot, especially at maximum range, though that vertical recoil is a bit much.
I might have to jump on tonight and play around with them some more. I haven't really had a chance since patch night to get a good feel for them but I don't see either replacing my beloved EE-3.

That's why I don't bother with those threads (or gaming side in general), most people are misinformed and it just turns into a bunch of one liner posts or shitpost. The game isn't dead on PC, not even close. If the game was on Steam with the current player count it would easily be in the top 50 for games played daily. It reminds me of Halo 5, oh Halo is dead because it's not in the top five on XBL!!!
However, it doesn't matter, I enjoy the game and I'll keep playing it. The population is more than healthy enough to still find games quickly.

Ugh they need to scramble a patch for everything wrong, I'm guessing it will be on 4/5.

Maybe it's a problem with the team balancing mechanic.
