So, the leaked hero BP change
So, leaks saying 6k BP heroes will now be 4.5k, and 8k heroes will be 6k. A couple of things to this.
1 - cross era in GA will get a whole lot worse for those who dont like it. 6k is easily affordable. So enjoy more Rey leading the Clones on Kamino!
2 - they have obviously listened to the minority who complain about never building enough points to get a hero. All this is going to do is ensure the top players, even the 6th-10th players, get heroes more often and quicker than those complaining about it. Thanks for giving me more hero play though! I only see more complaints about this, and I would bet the next focus of xomplaints around this will then be time limited heroes.
Overall, a terrible decision, and not one that was needed.

I really hope this is false and no changes to GA hero BP costs are made.

How to make Every Hero Viable in Battlefront 2
Earning BP was never that difficult. Getting that 2x modifier active was a chore by itself.
Eh. We'll see. I can't really imagine how much impact it'll have just yet. The best guys will keep getting their mains out first, as per the norm, but atleast the slow guys "might" get a turn if somehow the good ones screw up.
Then we can watch in awe as Lord Vader hides behind cover, too afraid to bear down upon the Rebellion, despite having full 950 health and all abilities ready to go. (Yes. You really, REALLY should be allowed to shoot your own teammates who do this.)(To this day, I suffer from flashbacks of all 3 saberwielders, hiding behind the throne room entrances while the clones set up chokepoints and what have you.)
To be fair, I think that, should that indeed be the case, one would have a very strong case with an outright "Get good."
8000 may have been a hassle in some maps, but I cannot see a scenario in which a player who actively takes part in battles cannot muster 4500 BP.
Arguement null and void if the opposition is a 15+ premade, camping spawns and stuff, mind.
But yes, this is a bad move. Heroes should not be awarded this easily. With these changes, the Officers using Battle Command will earn enough BP for a hero within 2 mins of the match starting, and then they'll hold on to that hero for the rest of the match. Sigh.

Most of the friends i play with always get 6-8k within the first phase (attacking). This will lead to a more massive stomp as the defenders, who might just get their heroes faster, will have a hero hiding somewhere.
If you really want to play a hero, there is HvV. I don't know, this just goes to prove that the people who scream highest gets what they want.
Like soccerparents saying "hey everyone deserves medals! even the kids who aren't winning".
That doesn't give the same insentive to actually try, and people are already poor losers because they never learn how to lose. Let's see how this plays out.
If the leaks are true they have lost control
A quick release of the patch notes would of said finger on pulse and cut off rumors
Heros should cost 10k bp or more
Then they mean more and stop the same people hero spamming
Me to
Yup. Waiting for a days play into the patch and the first threads will be
'lets talk about battlepoint changes'
'I never get to be a hero even more now'
'there needs to be time limit on heroes'
They are writing them already
Pirate of the Knights of Gareth
Yep.
I get Heros easy and can just charge in destroy and don't even care if I die and then.
Grab another one.
This just makes it easy.
Spend even more time as a Heros or just stick with a enforcer.
Exactly.
This is where they will mean nothing .
People will hide because they don't want to lose them.
Why.
Because any Tom **** or Harry can get one.
One of my kids can get them now and there in 1st year school.
should be around the same amount of time without the 2x bp squad bonus
The 2x multiplier hasn't worked for a while.
Pirate of the Knights of Gareth
Game should be harder to maintain the same challenge, not get easier.
%&$*(
Yep
Part of me can't wait to kill troops near the start or the game with a hero
Then I also think it will ruin the troop battles

That Specialist rework was disappointing.
Yeah, except the x2 multiplier has been buggy and inconsistent since launch.

Practically. If you die within the first phase, Chances are you are not getting a hero.

That Specialist rework was disappointing.
My thoughts were more that the Hero mess will occur sooner and less people play the mode...only hope are saviour troopers get the Hero and then hide so the Hero aspect gets negated
Heroes come out in the 1st 2 minutes sometimes anyway, this wont effect that part too much.
Pirate of the Knights of Gareth
The noobs didn't know what they were asking for... by removing the 2x multi it just serves to widen the skill gap between those who can easily get heroes and those who had to depend on lick and the 2x multi to hope to get one... I'm fine with it lol, now on the rare occasions I die i the first rush my chances of getting a hero are still good.

Now top players will just get the heroes within a minute of the start of the game and build enough BP to chain them.

Thank you, this will add to my kill count greatly!!

They are doing a great job that’s for sure
They really are trying it seems.
The thoughtlessness behind this decision is immeasurable.
Just catering to the most vocal who tend to be those at the left hand side of the skill bell curve. It only goes to widen the gap as this sort of malarkey only makes it harder for them, not those who already find this game fairly easymode
Now I'll be able to suicide bomb my hero into the objective, clear a path for my team, and still spawn as a hero again by the time my team can complete the objective. I don't see any potential problem here. Just sounds like a lot of fun for me.
the obvious next move is to make Wookiees 1000 BP in order to "balance" them against the new hero cost

I agree completely @LaurenXIV .
