just in case the powers that be read through this....

i hope this doesn't happen. the player base is apparently already small. no need to spilt it.

Hey, grow up...pleading to devs not to listen to us is as childish and selfish as it gets. And you need to learn to "read through this" your own self.

Circles, circles. I still don't see the problem with a second, hero-restricted version of GA.

I think most of the people who would leave the current GA and go to the new GA are like me, and don't play the current GA much or at all. If I'm wrong and there's lots of players in the current GA but hating it, you can't exactly demand that they not get a mode they'd like, so they are forced to stay with you in the current version they hate so that you can have fun.

I think this “splitting of the GA player base” would probably effect modes like Strike, Blast and Extraction more than GA. I know I rarely play GA because I don’t like the hero spam. Even then, it would be on the Devs to adjust the number of lobbies accordingly. I can still play BF 2015 even though this game “split the player base” of that game.

I think people are confusing last games paid DLCs with simply having options.

I want hero blast. 8 vs 8. Instead of the run and stun[removed] we have at the moment. 5 minutes chasing luke around mos eisely is not really the game I was looking for

This.

We need to wait for this new large scale, conquest type mode to release. Then see how the community reacts to it. My guess is GA will see a large decline in players.

Right now GA is the only 40 player mode. Until there's another option, obviously that's all people will play whether they are happy with it or not.

Why is it better to have a mode abandoned than to do a quick fix that makes both the main groups happier?

What do you mean abandoned? It will still be there, but if players decide they want to play the new game mode instead, what then? All I'm saying is, unlike 2015 Battlefront, GA is the only 40 player game mode. With no alternative, that gives us no way to measure it's actual popularity.

Right now the priority has to be adding a new 40 player game mode. It will have been over a year with just one game mode, and Conquest has been the most requested mode for Battlefront since the 2015 game launched without it.

I would like the game rules to change and be stated before each game. 0 to 4 hero's, no vehicles, only troopers etc. I think it would make the game less stale and force players to change their approach.

@Nicky2face

Please do not swear and do not bypass profanity filter as it's not allowed on the forums. I edited your comment.

The more I think about it, I’d rather have a whole new game mode without heroes rather than just the same exact GA mode. But of course that would be asking too much.

I like GA as it is. More maps and game types for strike would be good though

You wrote, "My guess is GA will see a large decline in players." That means players would be abandoning it, yes?

...Then people would be stuck either playing a mode they don't like, or not playing at all?

Um. Except creating an alternate version of GA but with a restriction mandating fewer heroes. That would pretty directly show its actual popularity.

I agree.

Which is why Im not saying "Change the current GA", I'm saying keep the current one and add in one that works for those of us who are tired of the hero spam.

True. And Extraction, too.
