We are getting 5
I guess my post was a bit unclear
I know we're getting 5 maps, but do we know how many maps will support Walker Assault, Supremacy and Turning Point?I would assume atleast 3 on all. Then maybe 4 on supremacy etcI guess my post was a bit unclear

Game is 30 up here in Canadaland now. Been thinking about buying it for ages...do random power ups fuck you up out of nowhere? Hows the lag? Populated on PS4? I played BF 1 and 2 a ton, just looking for a casual shooter that rewards skillful play. Is the balance alright? How are the new maps?

I'm friends with most of you on PSN, but I only play Supremacy.
What's your PSN?

Look at all this friendliness
Oooh, you add me and I'll add you
Makes me sick!

We're all friendly when Bespin comes, okey?!
You're the type of player I want on my team, someone that actually plays the objective. Good job

I think the Shock Grenade could end up being powerful and quite useful. Enemies in the blast radius are stunned. Depending on duration, you could take out quite a group affected by the shock. Very handy for Extraction, not to mention Stim/Bacta/Berserker users. Looking forward to seeing it in action tomorrow.
Sorry, I misunderstood.

Bespin looks excellent. What a great trailer. I might be wrong but it sounds like Simon Pegg voicing Dengar again.
What gun is this Rebel holding?
Could it just be the AC-280C with some LOD issues?

I suppose, but I'm struggling to see it. You think they would have announced all new weapons and cards with the trailer release so you are probably correct.
Anyway, I'm so pumped to see the maps tomorrow and learn about Lando and Dengar's traits!

The original description of the Disruption card being anti Droid and turret was good, not keen on forcing overheats.

Lol new Weapons already ready but they wont release them.
Man everything around this game is so weird and full of secrecy... i really hope that changes next year with Battlefront 2.

Of course there's new weapons already in the dev-build. Just because they're there doesn't mean they're finish to release. Even if they're finished I would rather have them do like they've done so far. Release something now and then. Three months with nothing at all would be too long imo.
Oh and...
I wonder how they'll do with that nightvision/heatvision gun when you're playing in 3rd person.

Wasn't there only two in the last one too? We might get more free ones. There is still the free Ion Disruptor card to get.Only two new weapons

In response to someone asking about if Heroes vs Villains will be in Bespin, Dennis Branvall (lead designer) stated:
We might not see any small modes in Bespin, though some may be included if they work with 32 players, Blast for example.
"Since Bespin is for 32 players, it didn't really make sense to make that big of a HvV since it's round based and solely focused on taking out the heroes (they would die pretty quickly). However, Sabotage pretty much combines HvV with additional objectives for heroes AND soldiers a like, so we're hoping that will scratch the hero itch while still providing fun objective-type gameplay for people who like the regular big modes.

Hmmmm something is off. What you infer sounds right based on Dennis's statement, but 16v16 in a map with 2 walkers seems skewed. We'll find out today.

Have they mentioned anything about nerfing the beserker/bacta combo?
Think we have to wait for the patch notes
I don't think 16v16 WA/Supremacy wouldn't work, they'd have to just probably tweak AT-AT health etc. I'm just more inclined to think that was an error on his part though because eventually at SOME POINT they have to roll all of this shit into a single playlist and you can't really go from 20v20 WA matches to the next match being 8 players short lol. We'll find out in a few hours anyway.
Also curious to see how team rebalancing works, if at all. Played with two friends last night and we got into another completely godtier WA lobby where we lost one game in like 4 and a half hours, and most games we just completely decimated the other team. I think we did probably every WA map as the Rebels and we destroyed both walkers early in the second phase, and as the Imperials we had multiple games where we held them to one or two Y-Wings THE ENTIRE MATCH. So yeah, rebalancing is a thing that needs to be in lol.
Edit: Sitting on about 120k Credits right now, hopefully that'll be enough for the Hutt Contracts and to buy Wing Guard/Shock Trooper. I've still spent zero credits on any skins >_>

The Wing Guard and the Shocktrooper will probably be level 70 unlocks, so you'll have time to earn more credits.
Yeah, I'm curious what kind of XP ramp it's going to be from 60 to 70. I didn't think 50 to 60 was that crazy or anything.
