This was an issue? Actually the best part of Extraction was not having sit through the tedious respawn screen

Thanks @F8RGE !

Fixed an issue where players would automatically spawn on the map, if they wait for the countdown timer to end on the defeat screen.

>> In my opinion, that shouldn't be considered an issue but an improvement to apply to all modes. When we don't need to change classes and cards, it's better to go back on the battlefront quickly.

^ This. Absolutely this.

This wasn't an issue, it was an improvement and one of the things I loved about Extraction. I wish I could skip the tedious respawn screen in other modes, as well. Getting stomped during a round doesn't feel as bad when you're not spending a large percentage of your time looking at the respawn screen.

The forced respawn screen really breaks the flow of the game. Extraction does not feel as fun, now.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
Fixed an issue where Ion Torpedoes were too strong against vehicles

Really!! finally had an answer to strafing runs and other vehicles! Half the time they miss your ground target all together. Completely not needed. a simple lowering of the cost of vehicles would have sufficed. If anyone has not yet noticed, good players have already found ways to counter torpedoes. bad idea dice

I agree. The ATSTs will again rule the objective on Mos Eisley, Yavin, Takodana, and Craite.. also the speeders will continue to mindlessly be able to just run people over with no problems. I keep hearing “play as a team” well everyone right now is playing officer for points or specialists for bubble melees. There are never heavies playing the vehicles. No chat to ask for heavies so you’re just doomed.

In all seriousness, try Assault with Smart Ion Grenade...Most speeders die from one. AT-STs you take a nice chunk of health off. You can even land them on the ground and let the AT-ST step on it while you are in cover. Still need some help from teammates unless the guy is really not smart, which sometimes happens and he lets you throw two at him...after two shooting him should kill him...

EMPTY EFFIN LOBBIES!

BTL-A4_Ace · August 30, 2018 2:31AM

Had a lot of epic matches today. Those long awaited bug fixes were really showing their worth, game performance and connectivity was more solid, and the new content is excellent. Awesome work, DICE. Loving this update. Keep 'em coming!

BIGBAMBAM5000 · August 30, 2018 2:40AM

Are you going to fix the problem of not being able to change clone skins before or during a match without completley leaving a game?

rebuiltHK47 · August 30, 2018 5:52AM

Hey guess what: The fix to the selected server didn't fix the long standing issue of me being sent to 159.153.38.49 all the way in London England instead of Ohio U.S. Will this ever get taken care of? Will I and many others have to deal with lag all the time until the end of the game?

Lol.

Ion toroedo will take half their health or more.
Use sentry to finish them off.
Or use specialist with nt-242.
Not that hard to counter them.
Learn.

Yup that’s genius. I’ll use 3 ion torpedos then die. Switch to specialist and shoot sniper shots at him. It will only take about 20 shots to “finish him off” lmfao. Problem is, always 2 there are. You might as well be shooting spitballs at them. You die before you finish them off. 3 torpedos and a full sentry does not kill them FYI. I just played Tatooine and it is again a nightmare. Long live ATSTs

Have you even tried what he is suggesting? The NT-242 with Disruptor shot takes far less than 20 shots to take an AT-AT down. It was the best way to take them down before Specialist even got the HP boost and a lot of people on the forums already pointed that out, way before the Ion Torpedo was overpowered.

1) Crashing to desktop - check.
2) Random crashing - check.
3) Empty lobbies continue - check.
4) Era selection missing - check.
5) Sound issue - check.
6) I can see that NONE of the things Ben Walke stated has been fixed. NONE.

.

That's basically my list to - Too much to ask for?

Yes I have. Do you realize the walkers don't just sit there and let you shoot at them? They shoot back and the splash damage even behind cover will wreck you. It takes more than 20 hits when they have their armor reinforced. Ever try to shoot a starfighter with that gun? Good luck hitting it enough times to take it down. I think people that don't play the vehicles (as in killing them) in GA don't realize just how little damage the ion attachments do to vehicles.

Yep how dare you play this game and not be an elite player! If you do not have hours to "Git Good" Than Shame on you for even considering playing this game! ( That by the way is sarcasm for you millennial's)
There was nothing wrong with the ION torpedoes sans the whine arses that think they should be able do strafing run after strafing run, or walk into the middle of an objective with an AT-ST and take it over. Not only have they nerfed the power, but has anyone noticed how they conveniently miss there target all together now. Poor decision Dice! So many other things could have been fixed like "rubberbanding" on Tacodama.

Ion Torpedo and Teamwork.
Teamwork has always been a problem in GA. As an elite SF/AT-St pilot in GA, I found that most of the time (80%) there was only one Heavy that was actually playing the anti-vehicle role, so that didn't really create a problem for me. I adapted a just continued on my strafing runs per normal. (..15% didn't even have an anti-vehicle Heavy, 5% had more than one)
With this nerf of the Ion Torpedo I've pretty much gone back to ignoring the Torpedoes altogether.
IMO, the only things that needed damage reduction against the Ion torpedoes were the At-St's and the Crait speeders.

Razza4130 · August 30, 2018 4:39PM

@F8RGE Why is Anakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, General Grevious, Count Douku not been added for 35,000 credits as advised in the announcement?

UnknownGamer · August 30, 2018 6:45PM

Oi! Ya fixed the ping, sure, but all I keep getting are empty lobbies! Would have been nice to know that, ya know. No matter how well you fix ping, I KEEP GETTING EMPTY LOBBIES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Very nice fix. Very nice. It is like fixing the faucet by replacing it with a cork. It doesn't leak, but I can't get water. Thanks a lot. Over a month now, and no telling how long your next 'hot' fix will take.

So I'm not the only one.

I wish that on top of that, they'd fix whatever sends me to the wrong IP located on the wrong continent in the wrong part of the world.

waldoffs · August 30, 2018 9:47PM

good update but still the one thing that would bring this game back to life and make it less frustrating for players looking for a game. SERVER BROWSER. literally how hard can it be. listen to the feedback from players.

. I've been saving a lot of credits for those since months.

Also, I'm very happy to see a lot of the bugs being fixed. Let's hope that it stays that way.

Thank you @F8RGE!

Hotrod74 · August 31, 2018 11:31PM

Thanks for all the hard work you are doing, Iwould love it if more could be added to single player though as it feels like its abit weak ,maybe add more than 10 bots at a time and add some new variety like heroes and villains arcade or ewok hunt ,its just a suggestion but single players buy the game to.

Apparently no one sees our Point of view. Seems most people are pro-vehicle. At the very least with the nerf should of came improved lock on and quicker recharge. I would also like to see a double tap feature like starfighters have to use them W/O lock on

RC2074 · September 4, 2018 9:49PM

for a company that have so many resources EA DICE! you are a very uninformed bunch of people. 327th is a prime example of what you manage to foul up. Get your facts straight before you just release it ffs!

@F8RGE Is there a problem with the Kashyyyk maps? On any mode, I can't seem to be able to change my clone trooper appearance (I have the PS4). All other clone wars maps I can change my skins, but for some reason on the Kashyyyk maps, I am unable to have the option to change my skins. Is this being worked on?/Is anyone else having this issue?

ScottSchierschmidt · September 8, 2018 5:00AM

These new skins barely resemble what they should look like. I can't even play as the 327th with clones wars era weaponry and look right. The pauldron is a staple and it gone on every class but the specialist! This is horrible! This need to be fixed if EA is going to have a good rep with their community, I'm begging for a fix! I play on Xbox and I see everyone on the PC showing off what the modders can do and the developers can't even make something as good as that? The 327th skins are sloppy and unfinished. This really needs to be fixed.
