Can a Dev comment on whether Extraction is getting ignored?
It would be greatly appreciated.
Extraction is easily the best mode for small-scale combat, and for those of us who aren't into the Hero-fest that GA has become, it's arguably the best mode in the game in general.
It's easily one of the most popular modes, or it was until months had gone by with no maps added to the paltry two it released with. Even Jetpack Cargo got more maps than that, and no one liked that mode.
We have had an immense amount of fun in Extraction, even with only two maps. Still, two maps just ain't enough.
Can we have some communication? Is the best mode in the game seriously being ignored?

Grevious isnt going to keep me interested.
Extraction will. Even 1 more map could keep me for a little longer.
I know I'm the thousandth person to say, but I'm almost out. I've defended this game like crazy. I feel like they don't care about me. The fan who really loves this game and has so much fun playing the game.
Hero’s to me while fine and great as content are more like a side dish to a meal. They aren’t very filling and maps/modes are the main course.
The mode needs new maps.

Sadly when MTX funding was eliminated that killed a revenue stream for further development. You wont hear it from a developer because the answer will be negative. I'm telling you it's safe to assume you may never see more Extraction Maps for SWBF2... If we're lucky they might have time and resources to work on them in April 2019.
I think the best solution is to just fold Extraction[/] gamemode into the Strike gamemode playlist.
This game is FUBAR.
Fair point. But honestly, it shouldn't be THAT hard to do, and I'd rather see a few bad maps added than nothing.
Very true. Though, if they cared at all about bringing in MTX money to fund game content, there's more than 150 canon skins that could be made JUST BY RECOLORING EXISTING ASSETS. They could have released those in 50-skin batches and made bank.
That would be better than having it vanish, but maybe not better than it staying how it is. Some of my friends love Extraction but don't like Strike.
Same here, this last week or so. It almost seems like they're deliberately killing the mode because they know they won't support it.
Yeah, they said in June that they're were not currently making any new maps for Extraction. They didn't say they were abandoning the new mode entirely. There was no reason to think they'd abandon a highly popular mode they had just added into the game, so a lot of people held put hope that more maps would eventually be coming.
Sadly, the lack of any word or maps for months, the recent rapidly-emptying servers, and the depromotion of threads related to Extraction... seem to indicate that's not the case.
Still, some clear and direct communication would be nice. Are they abandoning one of the game's most popular modes?

It’s been a while since I did the campaign but Pillio seems like its custom built for Extraction already from what I remember. Might have to build some flank points but should be it.
It would be perfect.

Explorer mode. Play Cache Grab (Sullust) and then the next campaign is Under Covered Skies (Bespin). Two beautiful maps that seem ready for Extraction. In both maps you’ll see some of the tanks (red) and some cargo crates (white cylinders with green light) are destructible and release vapor when destroyed.
The Vardos maps are ideal for Extraction as well.
Too bad they were not designed for multiplayer.
So many options. Some of them ready to go.
I just took their info to mean they had no current plans to expand on Extraction. I didn't like it, but it is what it is. Or it was what it was. However you want to interpret it.
Need.
The other idea is to make JPC just cargo with trooper/reinforcement loadout, match extraction and cargo as the new strike playlist. Cargo pretty much has the mode built with three maps so shouldn’t be a huge task.
the lack of any new maps means they are ignoring extraction and the players.....
He knew.
Maybe we just need a dedicated Battlefront: Tatooine 🤔
I don't think they have any plans once Anakin is released, After that i believe it'll be the TellTale effect where the studio will be shut down. Seem's like The Walking Dead final season will get it's final episodes then the rest of the Devs are kicked out. Now it's DICE's turn. and to be honest, they do deserve it.
That should have been the flip side of the Solo season - not Jabbas Palace.
I'm not a fan of the Clone Legion skins, but some of my friends are, and since none of us like GA enough to play it, we just almost never get to see clone skins. They're hungry to see their Legion in action, and I even bought the pack for that Legion so we can all look like we belong together. It's ridiculous to artificially restrict the only really reliably fun ground mode in the entire game.
We can only hope

How is that not a way of saying "we're ignoring you right now"...???
I appreciate the response but I can’t wait to use this line with the wifey during the Sox game later, thank you! Lol
You must put her response to this on youtube!!!!

Well, at least now I know. Focus is elsewhere... see ya
After you get out of hospital of course.
As for Extraction.... I would love to see some more maps added. Great ideas above for maps based on BF2017 maps. I would also love to see some of the BF2015 maps ported over.
I guess that means....MAYBE in a year, when they are supposedly done figure out the mechanics of their game that was released a year ago, MAYBE then...they'll "consider" it. Wow this company is just a constant let down.
