Star Wars Battlefront II |OT| The Circle is Now Complete

I've been playing for two days straight and just got Endor for the first time a few hours ago. Beautiful map and yeah it really sucks when one side doesn't start the walker part because you can't see the rest of the map!
It's not just the pace slowing down, its that the best versions of stuff is locked behind RNG and there are diminishing rewards. Trust those of us who have been grinding for awhile. The progression is glacial.
You actually can not get the best versions, aka purple star cards, out of crates. the highest you can get is blues. you need to craft purples.
the only time you just got purples handed is the pre-order bonus or the elite trooper editions.
hence why during the early access, you saw everyone with an epic thermal detonator card for example
Some streamers already have all heroes and 3 epic cards. It is slow, but if you know what you are aiming for, it should take a few more days at most.
you cant get the best cards in loot boxes so how is it locked behind rng?
You shouldn't need a card. It's absolutely insane. I can only get up to like, 3000 or so before the game ends. There's no way I'll be able to play as a higher class hero. It sucks.
Yeah. Load times are terrrrrrrrrrrrrible in this game.
if you can't get over 3000 before the game ends, then that card is basically made for you, cause it's supposed to help not so good players to get more points so they have a chance of using the heroes too.
That's the thing, I don't think I'm "not so good." I admit I'm not great at the game, but I'm pretty sure I at least have a 1:1 K/D, probably closer to 1.5/1. That's average, I think. It feels off.
I went in a game with Kylo and his freeze is just SO good if you are able to catch a hero or two in it. It's pretty fun.
true, that's ok, but you are competing with people that have a 4+ KDR for the heroes.
or people like me who snipe fighters out of the air for 2-3 minutes and then immediately get a hero.
or the pilots on your team (if enemy doesnt have air snipers) who will farm AI and then take the heroes.
so being just average isn't really gonna get you a hero any time quick.
Stay with your squad. Play the objective. It's not all about K/D. If all you can get is 3000 BP before the game ends, your play is 'not so good' even if you're not.
I specialize in earth maul killing with han solo. Shoulder check him to the ground, shoot him until he almost gets up, then knock him down again with my grenade.

I find it trivial to get enough battlepoints to play as a hero two or even three times in one Galactic Assault round, and I don't use the BP bonus star card.
People trying to be polite, meanwhile SG-17 going straight for the jugular

You just have to play the objective. Even if you don't actually interact with it, if you are nearby you'll get 500 points when it's completed for defending it. Sometimes you'll even get 1000 points. You also get huge point bonuses for killing enemies near the objective. A 14 kill killstreak defending one of the capture zones in Death Star II netted me around 12k battlepoints.
You can also just play as a Specialist and take potshots at starfighters if you want an easy way to get BP.
Play the objective or farm AI ships, will give you more then enough points to keep playing as the heroes. Although give me a gunship or tank over a hero any day.
Just played a Heroes Vs. Villains match. We were leading with 6-2, then two of the enemies left. After 8-2 was reached, the whole enemy team had ragequitted, and we were stuck in the game with no auto-resolve. Why on earth would you not implement an auto-resolve system?
Must admit I first thought it would be really hard to get to play as a hero.
Get it pretty much every game now. Chewie is a beast.

Strike is the best game mode. Absolutely wrecked people on it last night as I defended or attacked. Random bro sent me a party chat invite when we were playing which was cool. People should use those spotting darts more often. Helps out a ton when there's a chokepoint and you need to know exactly where to throw a nade
So is it safe to say that the BP system is another huge improvement over the pick-up system of bf15?
I for one never had a problem with the old system, but this is just better and more fair imo.

This seems dumb, because then it doesn't encourage people to play the objective. Also, what loadout is an air sniper so I can try that?
I do try and stay with my squad. They always run all over the place and I wind up not being able to stay with my squad.
To add on to my earlier complaints about the kill times. Seems like 5 torso shots with the default Assault rifle from medium range takes down an assault trooper. 6 for a heavy. That's kind of a lot imo. At least one too many. But I guess they needed to leave headroom for the upgraded guns and hero weapons..
Has anyone seen a chart or anything with the damage and range dropoff for all guns? I see there's no Prima guide for this surprisingly?

Do play the objective, you get nice points for that too.
There are always some "farming" methods though in these games.
the air sniper is the IQA11 the second gun for the specialist. You need to get 150 kills with it for the bolt speed upgrade which basically makes it hitscan versus starfighters.
I like the marksman card which resets your heat on headshots. Obviously really good for a sniper.
I wouldn't say that. If you're trying to post up somewhere, you can use it to protect a flank.
Really loving this game so far. Haven't had the "Just one more game..." feeling since Overwatch first came out.
I'm having trouble with Heavy though... I get by pretty well with the other three roles but haven't figured out what to use the Heavy for.
Are they not as useful at a lower player level?

Getting the cards is still RNG, you just can't get the top tier of that specific card. Getting a card is luck, to craft a card and level it up via crafting takes a long time. If you don't get lucky by RNG, you have to go through a slog of grinding parts to craft.
That's exactly what I do (or did in the beta lol). Plus you get kill assist if your team kills the enemy thanks to your dart.
Heavies are great to take out vehicles/do damage to MTT and AT-AT, setup their ion turrets and annoy planes with their torpedos/explosive sentry
But overall they aren't actually the most amazing class cause their weapons are pretty inaccurate and other weapons beat them at closer range as well.
Many people have problems with them because of their shield but outside of a direct 1v1 it's usually not the "i win" button people think it is.
Tried Specialist for the first time today, and I have to say sniping in this game feels easy and rewarding.
Already half way to unlocking the second gun after 1 match. I can't wait to try the starfighter sniping Klyka has been suggesting for fast BP.
Also interested in the 500 kills rifle, that thing looks like a beast from the video someone posted a few pages back.

I've only tried a few times, but I think I was disappointed. Something about hitting a headshot and not getting a kill is just frustrating to me.
Holy hell, totally forgot you could craft cards. If you have the parts you can craft any ability card?
You can craft any card but upgrading the cards to higher levels requires you to be higher level in that class (solvable by crafting a bunch of base cards for that class) and high enough account level, which you get by playing the game.
Lol that's why I've been using it every single chance I get. I'm working towards that dumb challenge, plus it just helps out a lot.
