A lot to learn you have young padawan
Isn't his 1883 k/d the impressive part?
What's a 1883 kdr about anyway? A glitch or what?

The lack of voice public voice chat makes the game feel really lifeless. I might as well be fighting against AI.

not to rain on anyone but this game K/D ration means nothing at all, I went 206- 35 this morning simply sitting in one of those ground lasers at the back of the map

Still really good though. Heck, I'm only at 0.33 K/D ratio.

Truth. I hope this doesn't turn into an e-penis competition like every other shooter.

Grinds my gear they have the most kills in the award screen
Should be objective based
Of course that slayer game types would be different.
K/D means absolutely nothing in this game. Especially since you get random hero powerups and vehicles that can allow you to go on a rampage. If you're really worried about your K/D, play a match of Supremacy and pick up a hero powerup. Then hang around one of the capture points. Your K/D will instantly jump skyward.

Good point. Makes me wonder they only put in the K/D ratio stat to please the elite gamers. But for SW Battlefront, I realize now that this stat is pointless.
When will games stop showing K/D ratio and start showing objective score only. Maybe then, one time, we can not get frustrated at people playing deathmatch no matter the mode.
Let people play how they want.
Atleast it keeps servers full.

Uhm K/D or the ability to defend yourself makes a lot in this game.
When half of my team in walker assault cant defend themselves, i will lose. Same for supremacy.

So I just played Battlefront (the original one) and it feels like a much better and more fun game, don't know what it is but I can play Battlefront (the original one) for hours but this one just doesn't grab me at all :/
There is something missing, something on a subconscious level that I need in a Star Wars game...
Any ideas?

I am not sure what statistics have to do with that.

Anyone else have the glitch in Heroes vs Villains where one team only spawns with 2 heroes?

How many players on the other side?

My biggest gripe is that this game is so so so much easier to play in third person. Aiming is better, you can see around obstacles and corners and you have a much better situational awareness. I feel like every time I try playing in first person, I'm at a severe disadvantage, which is really annoying.

keep in mind that the teams do not rebalance between rounds and there has been a LOT of team stacking going on. it's not uncommon for me to jump into a game only to find that the top 5 or 10 guys on the opposing team are at 20-30 kills vs 5-6 deaths.

I play first person only.
But 3rd person does give you huge situational awareness.

Me either, lol. Though I didn't try very long.

You have to hold down the trigger and charge it up, release to figure.

100% in agreement. But I have a personal reason to preferring to play in 3rd person...I can really only see out of one eye. May sound weird and it is hard to explain. You probably said it best, which I bolded above.
It does explain why I suck in these type of games as my reaction time is brutal.
The stat itself is meaningless really, except in blast. In an objective based game, someone with a KDR of 5 could be camping the AT-AT every game and doing very little for their team. Whereas someone with a 0.3 K/D ratio might be throwing caution to the wind while always playing the objective.
Basically having a high KDR doesn't necessarily mean you're actually playing the game well.

The teams would be full but one would spawn with 2 heroes and the other with 3. It's only happened twice and I've played a lot but it was weird. It's a HUGE disadvantage. PS4 btw
Same argument can be said about COD since modern warfare and perks were introduced.
A bad kdr means you are poor though, in either case. Don't think kdr should be removed for these types of games.
Different people get off on different things. Nothing wrong with that.

i dont get some of the design decisions in this game. why aren't there dedicated spawn points? i think that alone would make the game feel less random and more strategic.
STRONGLY agree.
Feels like a solo affair. Hurts it in bigger modes like Walker because you can't tell people about the objective or how the game works.

This. This x 100.
When I played Blast, I was happy to have a k/D ratio of around 1.75 (that is VERY good for me, I am always around .5 to .75 in other modern FPS's). But that is also the point of that Mode. To kill the other team. That's it.
Then I played Supremacy, and my ratio dropped to .5 because I was actually trying to do the Objectives.
When the rounds of Supremacy were over, there were people with insane KDR's, but I was close to them on the leaderboard as I was actually doing the Objectives.
If all you care about is your KDR, then just play Blast.
Let those of us who enjoy the Objectives based games actually play them the way they are supposed to be played, not the way you prefer to play them for imaginary bragging rights.
No you don't.
While I'd like to see more traditional flight controls, I did end up getting used to how they work here in the Beta, and it fits the arcade style. Once I did I really enjoyed it. It's just like aiming, you move your reticule up/down/left/right as you do with a gun and the ship follows. Definitely takes some adjusting to, and for sheer coolness I'd love to be able to do a roll etc. Maybe they'll update it? How are Dice for implementing big changes like that in their games?
The only thing I'd want to see would be a faster minimum speed, it got comical how small a turning circle ships had in the Beta, as players tried to line each other up. Definitely needs to be faster and require more skill and dexterity that way.
I totally agree, but since no voice chat, you can't try to convince people to go to objectives during a match. :/
Season pass will add 4 new game modes, but no details yet about what they are.

Do you really want to hear the other team through VOIP? I could agree with squad VOIP like in Battlefrield but there's no squad here, so maybe team VOIP...
Even if there's team VOIP you'd still feel like you're fighting against AI since you wouldn't hear the other team. The fun in playing against others isn't to hear them throughout the entire match but because they are less predictable and harder to fight against than AI.
Played for 9 hours last night. I feel like the odd one out now. I had an absolute blast. I come back to the thread to see about 85% of the posts the same they have always been. Bland and boring apparently? Honestly the only negatives I have right now are the Walker Assault balance and the lack of content. All of which will be fixed in time. I find it utterly pointless to speculate about how big or small the player base will be when that comes.
The variety in star cards and weapons actually makes a huge difference. With all the talk about how 'basic' this game is I was left scratching my head when I looked at all the options. I keep asking myself, what is missing from this game that other games have. Why is it Call of Duty rarely ever gets called out for "lack of depth" but this game has been getting assaulted with it. It's a dumb fun shooter. Knowing the ins and outs of the weapons and load outs makes just as much of a difference here as it does there.

But that's the point - it's not true except in modes where you want more kills than deaths because, by definition, that's the point (like team deathmatch). In Domination I'd go 12-15 but get 15 caps and you can bet I helped my team more than the 15-3 guy who got two caps.
