I can't believe I'm hearing the multiplayer not working a week after launch...I couldn't get into multiplayer on launch night or the next morning, and had some stuttering last night...then some matches end early because you beat them back in the first phase, and you're just searching for the next one...waiting for 3 players...we were just there!

For me seems like matchmaking. Literally will complete a full match, get dropped in an empty one, leave and find a full match instantly that is just about to stsrt. Longest wait had been under 30 seckmds it feels.
Yup, never waiting for more than 10 seconds to find a game. Might have to quit and rejoin every once in a while but I play every mode and have never had to wait.

Wonder how long DICE will let GA remain an unwinnable mess for attacking teams

Why is it sometimes I'm stuck eternally at the post game scoreboard awkwardly waiting for the game to start, other times it prompts me to press A.

Dice. This shit is unresponsive as hell.

Deathtroopers are kind of lacking compared to the other enforcers. Wookiees being the best and most useful with that amazing spread fire bow caster and that grenade.

I hope they add more enforcers in the future DLCs. Maybe unnamed less powerful Jedis, or inquisitors.

I keep getting drawn back to Assault and the A280 when I try to do other things.

To the point where I almost prefer it to playing a Hero in most situations.

Is it just me or is the map rotation weird? After probably 20 hours of gameplay ive only gotten on death star 2 once and i still have yet to play the prequel star fighter assault map.

Also i know its beating a dead horse but fuck the expensive trooper crates. The last 3 ive opened have had two starfighter cards, some credits and only ONE actual trooper card.

I finished the "Beginner Blaster Headshot" timed challenge and the game tells me after every game that I need to redeem it from the career screen, but it doesn't seem to be working.
Will the credits only be unlocked when the challenge ends on the 27th? It would be stupid but I can't say I'd be very surprised...

Also does anyone know the time the daily bonuses and arcade reset kick in?

.

The rotation is being tightly controlled by DICE at the moment I think. They're clearly tweaking certain maps and balancing them so they're wanting as many people playing them as possible. I've been playing a lot since release and I've noticed a change, even in the last few days in certain maps. Things are slowly getting better balanced. Also, players are just getting clearer about what they're supposed to do on each map.

I'm sure once things are working well DICE will allow players to choose which map they want to play. This is what happened with the first game a little while after release.

I thought I was the only one suffering from stutters in every match. Lmfao fucking dice, even after a beta and other studios working on other parts of the game they can't get proper netcode.

My friends bailed on me so if anyone plays bfront 2 on the PS4, I would love to join.

I think you get the credits, you don't need to redeem the dailies.

The last arcade you get credits for, it says like "Next time you can get credits are in 14 hours". Or something like that.

So the lag is what's going to kill this game in the end. Great...

I really hope they fix it real soon, 'couse it's just not fun playing like this.

Sound a bit meh, I hate quickly-overheated weapons with passion

The TL-50 with the maxed combat shield isn't bad though.

It gives enough time to cool off behind the shield and get back to it.

But yeah, I'm not a fan of quickly overheating weapons either.

Edit:

Ha! Just played a match where the ground didn't load. Smh

Really odd,my experience lag wise has been perfect. I am in Australia so the perfect connection is even wierder...

What platform are you on?

I'm in Bulgaria (southeastern Europe), connected to Germany ping site (36 ms), playing on PC. Did not have a single issue the first week.

Gotta say though that the lag is inconsistent. One game would be laggy as hell, the next it would be mostly fine. Weird.

Finished the campaign last night, I really enjoyed that for the most part. Looking forward to more of it after that ending.

Took quite a few hours but I'm finally sort of feeling this game. The multiplayer is fun, I've had some great galactic assault matches. If they overhauled the progression to something more normal, removed the loot boxes (paid or not they are stupid), and had a mode without star cards it would be phenomenal. I also loathe how heroes and vehicles are unlocked during the match with battle points so that those who are doing well are the ones getting them. I'd prefer them being selectable on the map between lives, sort of like BF1, or even random assignment of heroes would be better than the current system.

There's a great game under all of the shitty design decisions and loot box crap.

Game is just pissing me off tonight.
The little bit it actually works you do 99% of the damage on an enemy and a teammate steals the kill just by looking at them.

I don't know why they aren't doing the "assist counts as kill" thing if you do enough damage so they'll actually count towards your challenges.

I dunno why they got rid of that either.

Well its either a bug that didn't get fixed or prioritized for the build (yes sometimes as a developer you have local fixes ready to go and you are not allowed to check into the main build for various reasons) or it was done on purpose to see its effects on player progression. Its that simple imo.

Hope they fix this as it would help immensely on many fronts.

How angry would you all be if he and all other dlc characters were locked behind 15,000 credits?

High costs for DLC operators never bothered me, it was all about the base game being so hard to unlock.

I'm a huge fan of the game, but it unplayable at the moment due to all this lag. Look forward to coming back when they fix it though.
