I hope Dioxis gets a buff with the May 3rd patch.

Also, don't sleep on the Scout Pistol, that thing can be beastly in cqc. Recharges so quick.

When I was forced to for the Hutt contract I actually enjoyed using it, but for me the Scatter Gun has the edge because of it's shield piercing capabilities.
Maybe I'll make a special loadout for Jabba's Palace: Scatter-Scout Pistol-Shock Blaster. Close quarters goodness.

Sounds good imo.
Nien nerfed, Dioxis buffed, Extraction rotating more....
Hoped they would decrease the rounds in HvV, these changes don't seem enough to keep people playing.

Fuck personal shield buffs.

Fuck still no rebel starfighter nerfs.

Fuck no Ion torp buff vs fighters (fine vs ground really as it is).

I'm glad they buffed the Relby-V10, but it doesn't seem like it would be enough. So instead of it being a five shot kill it's now a four shot kill. Maybe when used with Berserker it could be really good. I look forward to playing around with it though.

DT-12 buff seems interesting before there wasn't much difference between it and the DL-44, so I'll be playing around with it also.

Was there a problem with the hero hunt wheel? I thought it was a good system, not sure why they changed it to top damage dealer.

Also, what does "dioxsis grenade next to a vehicle and then entering it" mean?

The developers explain some stuff about the changes in the comment section below the patch notes here:

http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/bat...-wars-battlefront-may-client-update-ps4-pc-x1




They also mention a change coming with the Bespin DLC, one where you can cancel a star card midway. Seems handy

They still haven't fixed that you cannot see who's in an A-Wing on the scoreboard? Do they even play their own game?

Curious to play the 4-hour trial tomorrow. I've been playing Battlefront II for a little while now, and I'm curious to see why this one hasn't been well received my a lot of fans. Surely it can't be just about not having space battles? Though the lack of maps or modes could be a deal breaker, yes.

I hope there are some undocumented buffs for the Relby because simply bumping up the close range damage from 24 to 25 = why bother? :/

Hmmm, good point about the Relby. Only problem is why would you bother when the superior (and fully auto) A280C gets the same bonus but with better handling.

I have an unrelated half-day at work today, going to get a few hors of playtime in and see what they broke with this patch.

Sounds like you can launch private matches with only 2 people now, unless that was already a thing and I didn't know.

Also, reports that you can't select the same hero as the person before you in Hero Hunt. The hero picked previously is X'd out.

I ran into a funny glitch, well maybe not funny, but I wasn't expecting it. So I pick up an X-wing token that was in the lava. Since you go into invincible frames when using a token, I just call it in even though I'm standing in the lava. So my X-Wing is coming in and right when I'm about to take control of it, it just explodes. Screen said killed by lava. lol

Sounds like most of the stuff that has kept me away for the past few weeks has been fixed, hopefully now I won't lose xp I just gained from a completed match whenever I exit the lobby afterwards.

Seriously?

It took them multiple patches to fix the exact same bug in BF4 with completed assignments, it's kind of infuriating that it's unfixed here too.

Tubie said:
You kinda have always been able to do that.

Just press square on top of the OR playlist and pick extraction.

And then get placed onto the losing side of an Extraction that's almost over, with HvV up immediately after.

I can't believe they didn't fix this. This is most definitely a bug right? I mean the first 3 Hutt Contracts I completed a while back are all that show up for me and not my progress on the 2 I have left. So annoying...

Yep, they even acknowledged it after the Outer Rim DLC was released. I thought the fix was supposed to be part of this patch. That should have been an easy one.

"We are also listening to feedback regarding the charged cards as a whole, and have for the coming Bespin update implement a mean to actively turn the card off. This means you can manually disable your Charge card to push it into cooldown sooner, if no one is around you or you need to fire regular blaster bolts rather than Ion."

Manually disable shield? Yikes.


Also:

Walker Assault: AT-AT health tweaks
Sullust 31000 to 35000 = +12% Increase
Jakku 35000 to 50000 = +30% Increase
Hoth 30000 to 40000 = +30% Increase
Endor 60000 to 80000 = +30% Increase
Tatooine 33000 to 40000 = +20% Increase

Nice, I approve the AT-AT buffs. It can certainly make for frustrating games for the Rebels, but makes for the best victories ever. The beta was the best when winning Walker Assault as the Rebels because it was so hard.
