StarFighter Strafe runs
this game still has this problem from the 2015 version.. please nerf star fighter damage against infantry so that AIR BATTLES STAY IN THE AIR and ground battles stay on the ground.. if Star Fighters Deal significantly less damage against infantry there'll be no incentive for camping in a Star Fighter wrecking the opposite team draining their tickets. I love how you nerfed AT-AT damage now do the same for Star Fighters. Or you can buff ION weapons so that we can fight these Star Fighters if you're not going to nerf them. I have to admit, From time to time I had to abuse Leia's secondary fire jus to destroy these Star Fighters since they can kill any infantry or hero in One Strafe run.. I jus had to level the playing field. Cause i can't spend 6000/8000 battlepoints just to be wrecked by a Tie fighter (which costs about 800 Battlepoints) in less than 10 seconds with one Tie fighter strafe run
This brings me to another issue "The Ticket System" it works well in games like Battlefield because each team has like a 1000 tickets but now in battlefront 2 you end up playing a map for only 3 minutes cause sm1 is doing strafe runs at the objectives or they are using Land speeder to mow down other players.
How i suggest you fix the ticket system, Use a timer in conjunction with tickets... For every phase in a galactic assault you should have a minimum amount of time set to play it. For example for the first phase lets say its 5 minutes, If a team's tickets run out then before 5 minutes then the game enters into "overtime" and displays the countdown until the timer runs out. If people are capturing an objective this timer can be paused or whatever you decide. This makes sure that even if there are 15 "less skilled" players on one team then at least the 5 better players can have a chance to capture objectives and push the match to the next phase.
I play on UAE server and this happens 90% of all the matches.. The teams are always "unbalanced" and everytime the weaker team has the tickets counting down that match wont last 3 minutes. And its sad that you get to play certain maps for a short time which ruins the experience. I am forced to switch servers and play on the German server just to make sure that i enjoy the game.
And this was not a special bad match. This is the reality in at least 80% of all matches. And of course, the game is not about kills but about objectives. But in 80% of all matches I stick to a team who has really no chance to win and just get slaughtered.
Here in the forum I read, nerf the class x or the weapon y because I was killed by this type of class. Other people are angry about their unskilled team mates and wants to force them to adapt their playstyle. I guess the main problem is not the class x or weapon y or the unskilled players. Not everybody can be professional player and invest 1000 of hours in the game. The main problem in this game is the unfair matchmaking. This makes the top skilled players unhappy because they have no challenge and the unskilled players unhappy because they have no success.
The press says that this unfairness is wanted and combined with the microtransactions a part of the money maximizing strategy. Hope it’s not true. I have no problem with microtransactions but a wanted unfairness in matchmaking is a red line for me.
That's the first official acknowledgment of bugs I have seen. Here's hoping you sorted the crash to desktop and controller issues!
Discuss the topic however you like but please follow the rules and keep such hate out of this forums, or anywhere for that matter.
Continue on all!

Heroes should be hard to kill, or what would be the point. They are a lot weaker than SWBF1
Hell half way through a GA game i chose Leia, shot at an enemy i start rubberbanding and bam end of my life. a whole whopping 10 sec. Fun fun
On PS4.
Hopes that playing chicken with speeder pilots who all seem to have limited driving skills gets a tad less one sided.
Thanks.
That would be fantastic.
I think yoda's damage reduction star card should increase to 10% from 8 considering he cant regen hs health like other lightsaber users and his light saber swings take so long as it is so hes more prone to taking damage when attacking. Perhaps Yoda shouldnt appear on enemy maps?
Boba Fett's blaster really really needs help and Id say the same for his health.
Palpatine's dodge roll should be one at a time instead of two I think
Luke's repulse should kill infantry but that might be too much... he's a hard one. Hes considered a bad hero but i think two buffs and hes suddenly completely OP so id say just his repulse needs to be more effective. Its just another knockback atm but a 360 radius
Han solo feels like he needs some love on GA
Other than that I think the game is pretty balanced. Id say specialist to have 150 health to make it fair but I thnik everything else is fine tbh including the guns atm.
See thats the problem with soon. There were already ppl staying awake last night.
Discussing changes is great but imo announcments should only come with a date attached.
+1 a million times.
Well they should true, but also nobody told them to stay up waiting when there was no date.
I know. But it is gonna happen no matter how true it is.
Here is an idea:
Start a double credits week end right now, in 5 minutes, to distract the players till the update hits. That would be perfect timing right now.
in the second phase i literally held the hallway on the east side with just an officer and a heavy trooper. in a matter of a couple minute i leveled, maul, Palp, and Bossk. Are wookies OP maybe yes a small tweek to them i can see. in one game i jumped from level one to level 5 on the wookie. some might say it was a bad team i was going up against but they got to phase 2 with my team only shooting the MTT once.
As far as the bluurg i do think a range tweek is needed a pistol shouldn't shoot out as far as a rifle, even though this is kind of a fantasy laser pew pew game a bit of logic to make the game a bit more strategic and classes more specific for certain task and situations would add a level of challenge to the game.
People ask for communication and this is good. Got to start somewhere. Stop complaining.
If they hadnt of said anything we would have 1,657,245 threads with titles like 'the silence is deafening' etc
Amen.

Yeah, I'll gladly take something over nothing.
Also...did I miss something? Are players now going to get penalized for leaving games early?
Now if we speak about the explosive centinel well... I been killed with a explosive sentinel behind a wall many times, thats definitely should be nerfed but beside of that to be honest i dont understand another nerf.
Blurgg yes i understand the nerf specially if come in the damage at the distance, I killed many scouts with that weapon and i bet they were so salty for that lol.
I think the wookie should be nerfed with the damage at the distance. more distance less damage because i feel like you make the same damage at 200mts than 10 mts. but it will be hard, mostly of ppl have enough card to make them still good so the nerf it will be so low.
about heroes and villains, the classic, palpa those lightnings behind walls, the bug with the aura and you can't use your abilities.
and the rest of the villains dont need nothing, vader is tank, boosk have only 600hp but can refill complete and the others are ok.
Heroes, Luke should be make damage with the abilities and more hp 750/800
and the rest i think is ok.
No, you'll still be able to leave matches freely with no punishment.
I have experienced this alot also. Whether it's just lag or what I'm not sure but I have been killed through walls.
Has this been happening since you have had the game? If so, me too, my internet cannot handle online play. Also I need all online maps on single player!
Except when you need to take down players who spawnvehicles every time, as a heavy player who is gonna protect ya against those big machines?
I second this emotion, not sure if its fixed in this upcoming patch though.
Someone asked on Twitter to Dennis if customization was coming and he said indeed! Not sure if it will be this patch or in a future one though.
Awesome! Thanks.
We post official downtime about 24hrs before the patch goes live. I stated 'soon' as it was not approved, therefore no date could be assigned to it. We had gotten approval to provide communication and in this case, I felt communicating ahead of time was more important than a date.
I also stated downtime would be posted ahead of the patch going live.
Look for the downtime update/announcement; once that is live, you will know the day the patch is coming.

No, nothing about penalized, its just a couple of threads supporting it or not supporting it I think. I highly doubt it would happen anyway.
While many of the reported bugs have been submitted and the team is working on them, its hard to find threads and tweet responses our team has responded to that let the community know the team is aware.

Sounds great. Several players, including me, can't really open crates at the moment as it would be a total loss for us doing so. Not getting any credits for duplicate cards, and each duplicate you get instead adds a level to your star card level the card belonged too.
I'm stockpiling my credits for now till it's fixed. It would be good to know when the fix is coming through as I've had the issue for over two weeks now.
Sounds great! Will we still have to report bugs via EA Answers?
That is very good news. Thanks!
Can you please make sure the team is aware of this? The card that increases Yoda's Presence duration doesn't appear to be working at all. Mine is epic, so I feel like I've wasted a ton of crafting parts until this is fixed. Thanks!
