In general: there are a lot of bugs and it will take time to investigate/resolve them.

Lots of rubberbanding with the jumppack going on..

Finally got to play Luke on Hoth. Spawn right in the open next to an AT-ST, Vader and in sight of a Walker. Great. In general, I have found it a lot harder to snag hero icons. Barely ever get an Imperial one, and if I do spot one, it's always right on top of a shit ton of people. Somehow the same people always end up getting them.

Also had something weird happen on Hoth, rebels had only a few y-wings at first and second uplink, yet our AT-ATs dropped almost instantly.

It shouldnt be possible to use the jetpack and Shield together. They should let it this way

Fuck that noise. They already nerfed it by disallowing grenades from being used while it's on. It's pretty worthless defending against vehicles now. Before if you got jumped by an AT-ST you could pop and fly away, now if you pop the AT-ST can take the shield down super fast because you can move fast enough.

It was funny at first, but it's becoming way too frequent now. Ion disruptor and pulse cannon hits not being detected. Nailed an AT-ST with the disruptor and it did nothing, same with pulse cannon on troops and fighters, particle effects bounce off but zero damage.

Also. Just remove the lock-on for the blasters on fighters already.. then you can have actual dogfights and not this easy mode air superiority BS.

So, wanted to try out the outer rim maps. Nothing but empty lobbies. Not much season pass holders on Xbox?
Click to expand...
Try to choose a mode. I usually get empty lobbies unless I specially choose one. I'm on ps4, but I bet it's the same. Matchmaking in general has been pretty bad on small modes for me, I can rarely find a drop zone match at this point.

Ah that would explain it. I just picked the general playlist.

If only the pulse cannon could one shot fighters. Alas.

If only.

Went on a 30+ killstreak with Vader, it's feast or famine with the guy. But at least it's 100 times as fun as ledge camping with boba. Also got Han, still think they could buff his health a tad, but man, snipe a TIE, blow up an AT-ST and look awesome doing it.

Also tried a go at Palpatine, I always seem to get the shittiest honor guard, they run right off. They should buff his basic lightning tbh.. people can gib you hard if they see you. Being sneaky with heros only works if enemies are oblivious to the radar.

This game need auto-balance in the game and not only between matches. 13 vs 20 ain't fair.

Yeah, they just need to go all out and have dynamic team balancing during the match. It may piss people off to be switched teams mid-round, but games have been doing it for years.

If you play Palpy the right way, he can be awesome. But I see so many people rush to the frontline with him, only to be slaughtered in an instance.
He also can be very valuable in HvV, healing other villains.

So you pick a mode for Outer Rim and after that it picks random modes?

Anyways. Just played a bunch of Outer Rim. I literally got to rank 60 by solely playing Walker Assault, but I have to admit that these smaller modes are actually quite fun! And the maps are utterly beautiful too..

Also Nien Nunb is broken as fuck in HvV, goddamn. Has anybody ever used Greedo's deadeye ability? It bugs a shit ton of times and why use it (leaves you open for ages on a squishy target) if you one shot people with his blaster?

Goddamnit EA. I hope that the population is gonna survive all this fragmentation.

I lost both these games, I can't even..

When I was the Empire, they cowcabled both our walkers (sadly I was in one of them). When I was on the Rebel side, man oh man, we blew up the one that was weak and then I saw two airspeeders just flying around and not even going for the towcable when we still had plenty of time left.

I bought the season pass. Do I have to unlock the new blasters via Hutt contracts after buying the season pass or are they already unlocked for me cause I've coughed up the cash? Thanks guys! :)

Yeah, it does suck. I don't notice or mind it as much in larger maps. But it definitely sucks when it happens to you in Drop Zone and smaller modes.

I've been on the short end of 2 vs 6 and another round just me vs 4. It seemed those rounds, my teammates quit out after a slow start losing a few pods or looking short-handed early. But I've been part of teams down four pods and we've come back to win.

I usually just try to stay alive and disrupt the other team's objective long enough to hopefully get more help on my team. Doesn't always work out though.

Frustrating, really in any gamemode, where team balancing decides to do 1v5 or something similar. Becomes really noticeable when you're playing something like Droid Run and you can just end the game 30 seconds in because the other team only has one person.
