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

I love starfighter assault, but what is the point of the slower ships other than just being slow, crappy bombers? Slave 1 and Millennium Falcon are just straight garbage. To be fair, at least Slave 1 has some kind of defense against people chasing you but the Falcon really is horseshit. The only way I can find a use for these ships is to basically rush whatever the current objective is and do as much damage as possible before the entire squadron from the other team you've picked up in the first 30 seconds kills you. Other than that, what are they good for?
They're generally more powerful and can tear through objectives quicker.
I generally do way better in bombers than in any other ship. Then again I am usually only ever playing the objective and not going for kills because hey that's the whole point :)
So, how about this.
Just booted the game up after installing the patch and this showed up.
It's locked and it seems it's only visible on the Officer screen.
Edit: unlocked it just now. You get it by completing the new challenge: buff 25 players with the Officer.
It's rebel alliance only.

Loving the new update & the fact that they fixed the bugs so quick. Nice bit of change.
Also, is there any reason why there's no sort of combat record considering it's a Dice game? Do they have any plans on putting one in the game?
Would love to know my average score per minute with each hero, class, weapon, etc.

The idea of the next content drop being the Solo movie instead of Clone Wars is baffling, how many fans would want solo content over CW? 1%?
It's pretty surprising to me that everyone on reddit seems to want Clone Wars content, as I thought the general consensus was that the prequels and everything related to them isn't looked on favorably.
Got my first Hero purpled out on all cards. And it's not even Vader even though he's the easiest to play as and score well, it's Finn. He's a fun support character to play as but it's a shame that his Deadeye ability got nerfed to the ground. It's still good enough to quickly take care of Boba and Palpatine though.

The idea that EA isn't going to capitalize on a new Star Wars movie (and the only one coming out for the next 18 months) with in-game content to make money is actually crazytown to me. We're getting at least SOMETHING to coincide with Solo (even if it's just skins and not a full Season drop), so I think realistically people aren't expecting to get a full Clone Wars Season before Solo comes out.
Say what you want about the movies themselves, but I think most want prequel content because they had far more interesting locations & vehicles.
I mean I definitely think a clone wars themed season was supposed to be season 2, but took a backseat when DICE had to put out the progression system fire
Noticed some dudes running around with Rodian officer skins. Slowly but surely it's happening, finally.
I'm hoping Solo content is maps. We could definitely use some more SA maps in this game. I love SA but i'm so damn tired of about half of those maps.
is there a list of the patch notes? Have they addressed the slow moving blaster heroes and nerf'd Palpy?
I love playing Iden, so much fun in the right GA maps. I grabbed her on the beginning of last phase on Maz's castle last night, ran into one of the rooms, threw out my stun droid and stunned 5-6 troopers and just obliterated them all with secondary fire and her blaster. Then stood in there and secondary fired different entrances while my team ran in to secure the location. Rey tried to run in near the end and stun droid got her and my team was smart enough to melt her. She is awesome to use in indoor situations. I was using 'Friend in Battle', 'Alternate Methods' and was rotating between 'Cooler Blaster' and 'Shock Reach' for last card.
Trying to unlock all trooper weapons and mods, have the last mod for Heavy's TL-50 then onto the long haul for Specialist class. I can't snipe for shit, by far my least favorite/played class I tried it a bit last night on Crait, and every time I peaked out one of the holes I was 1 shot by another Specialist with the NT-242. Any tips? I have the IQA-11 and the A280-CFE (from either pre-order or trooper edition), but barely any kills yet.

The movies were not very good, but the universe, music, designs, and characters introduced in them are among the best and most interesting in the Star Wars IP. People can separate the quality of a product and quality of an idea.
The first stage of Hoth is pretty great for sniping if you are on the attackers but dont just sit back at the spawn because you will be a sitting duck for counter snipers. Go off to one of the sides where counter snipers dont have good line of sight but you can go for defenders who move up too far. Or you can peak around and pick off counter snipers hanging at the back of the map. Also, if you cant get a headshot, make sure you send a follow up shot as fast as possible. I believe with the IQA-11 that it will kill any normal trooper in 2 body shots. The A280-CFE kinda sucks until you get the burst shot mod, then you can use it like a good medium to long distance assault rifle.
Crait is good for this too if you are defending, just be aware because there are a lot of snipers on the attacking team as well.
Jumped back in to see what the patch changed. Game is fun as ever.
I did have some odd graphical hitches here and there, but can't tell if it was because of the patch, laggy peers, or the supersampling PS4 Pro setting that I enabled a few days ago. Anyone else try the system supersampling setting with this game? Does it do anything with Battlefront II or if a given game has specific PS4Pro modes it will ignore the supersampling setting?

Forget it. I'll just cut back on the Fondor egg omelettes. Mmm, a couple of those would be tasty right now.
Love the new progression system, ready for the actual post launch support to begin now that they no longer have to waste time and resources revamping something that should have been as is since launch.
The new progression system is cool, but this game needs a lot more.

I hope April patch isn't just some small bug fixing and crafting parts conversion patch.

Han Hoth skin challenges up. Complete 5 rounds of SA, 5 rounds of GA, and earn 25,000 BattlePoints.

Hopefully now that this unscheduled overhaul of the progression system is out of the way, they can focus on bringing more content to the game. Im definitely ready for season 2.
I'm in for clone content as well.
Also, is that Kashyyyk map with the Republic Cruiser on the ground new? Or did it just not come up often in previous matchmaking? It is the funnest map for me... the scale, the visuals, the objectives... wow. Think of an Utapau map with 212th clones everywhere and (here comes the wishful thinking) Grievous and Obi-wan as Heroes! Find those Boga things to ride around, multiple levels with different objectives.... it sounds so perfect.

Just goes to show how bonkers the map rotation is still for some people.
I for one am getting fed up with that map despite it being one of the better ones.
It's likely there won't be any significant content, besides cosmetics, in April. Developer already said April is the customization update. Next significant content update will be the Solo season tie-in to the movie, which they have confirmed is locked in, meaning that they have to do Solo content with the movie.

It's an assumption, one that I fear is true based on history.
Jakku tie in with TFA. Scarif tie in with RO. Crait tie in with TLJ.
It's reading between the lines based on what Dennis has said in the Q&A. He said certain seasons are locked in based on what's happening in the world of Star Wars (ie a film release) and since solo is happening in may, it stands to reason that that's season 2. Unless they surprise us all with a clone wars season in April which I find unlikely.

Maybe they planned a Clone Wars season for like January/February but had to rearrange the content schedule after the game imploded on launch.
I feel like folks are playing the officer class a lot. Half the dudes I'm playing against are officers tonight.
