Aussie player, and over a month now without being able to join a game.
These issues weren’t discovered until some time after the initial patch, and by then there’d already been a commitment to fixing the lightsaber stamina, Palpatine, hard-lock and Ewok Hunt.
This patch right now is the much delayed hotfix, not the content patch. The fixes we seek shall be in that one, I suspect around the 20th or just before then.
Edit: I forgot to say, welcome back @F8RGE ! Hoping you had an enjoyable holiday, and the injury is healing up nicely.

Comment approved and sadly no, its not live yet. It will launch tomorrow indeed. This are just notes ahead of launch.

I hope the next patch late August along with the 2x multiplier and ping issue.
we can only hope, DICE has a history of terrible updates.
Whatever.
Where is private matches system?
Where are our new maps (Geonosis, Dagobah, Coruscant, Mustafar, Utapau, Umbara, and more)?
Skins?
Where is fix x2 in squads?
Where is mix basic weapons?
Where is "Manager Star Wars Community"?
The lowest patch ever i have seen in my life.
Who on earth said that we would get any of this in the first place?
Except for the X2 multiplier, nothing of this was promised at any given time, let alone to be released in 2018 or the actual August content update.
Maybe you'd like a pink Unicorn that poops rainbows on top of your list?

So very frustrating. Can't believe this is still an issue!

SOUND BUG
This is the hotfix not the patch
No. This is not the large August patch. This is the delayed hotfix. There will be another patch later this month.
@XXXO77O4906
@EA_Tom
Thanks for the hot fix notes. Now, can we please ensure this tweak is added to the August patch?

Thank you!
Stamina changes apply to both modes.
To be honest, we have no idea how it'll be with Palpatine, because when the changes were made his hit detection for lightsaber users blocking was broken. The adjustments, if any are even needed, will be made later when we've got some solid evidence of how he's holding up.
My reaction
Can we please have more specifics about the lightsaber stamina changes? Like some numbers please?
What the ROADMAP should look like for 2019/2020:
“Season” 4: Episode IX
“Season” 5: Rogue One
I have one thing that I would like clarified, if possible. When you say rebalanced stamina for all lightsaber heroes, do you mean that you switched it back to the old system, or that you made modifications to their stamina? I was one of the few that liked the new system. So I was just wondering.
Great to have you back. Please thank Tom, and TOTALfps for working hard these past few weeks. I hope you weren't injured to severely, but if you need an organ donor, we had a discussion about it in another thread.

Dice hasn't figured out yet what is causing the difference between the test environment and live environment being so different,so I doubt that this update will be any different than any of the other updates. It'll fix a few things and breaks a lot of other stuff probably.
I mean every day there are more and more bugs appearing in the game and with every update too. If Dice doesn't get on top of this we won't have much of a game left to play by the time Geonosis gets here.

Most annoying bug for me right now.

Last night while playing blast I was playing as a Wookiee. At some point after using my boosts, I couldn’t shoot any longer. Was right after I went up against a death trooper. I ended up running around melee folks until I got killed. Charges wouldn’t work after that. Nothing. I could only run. First time I have experience this, but soooooooo frustrating.
This is different from the heavy glitch when you can’t run after sentry card. At least that one you can do sentry again and be able to run afterwards.
Product quality is unacceptable. Really wish someone in power takes ownership and corrects it.
DICE has yet to learn they really need to test in a multi latency environment. They are silly enough that their test environment consists of a closed network where everything runs about the same speed. This is nothing like the real world environment. One would think after all these years of the same thing they would test in an environment that mimics real gameplay.
It is so obvious they do not, hence the reason what is released works nothing like what they tested. Add to the fact they appear to test only for their "desired" result, not test for things that can go wrong.
