Ok, Let's not buy into this false paradigm that the addition of this mode will suddenly split the player base, no more so than it did with Ewok Hunt or the dreaded Jet-pack cargo. This isn't Bf3 with 15+ game modes and DLC here, Battlefront actually has quite a limited line-up, and a lot of these off shoots are utter failures that take a while to fill in. I.e. barely anybody's playing that garbage. Popular modes will always be populated, hence why blast, HvV, and GA have the higher player counts. Adding HU to the Heroes tab is hardly going to impact any of those modes, and if you were waiting on games of Ewok hunt, you would've been waiting anyways.
This is literally a no-brainer addition. If anything it would bring more players back to the game, myself included. In the past 9 months I could probably count on my Fingers how many times I've played battlefront more than 30 mins(no joke). Now I pop in every update to see if anythings changed for the better, see that it's still a litany of boredom, and go back to playing older games as I wait on new titles to release. Or distract myself with throwaway $15-30 distractions on the market. I'm sure I'm not alone here.
It's all too obvious that the people who are staunchly against it, or are sitting on the fence, are only doing so if only to be kill joys. It's like that old saying: misery loves company, and it totally encapsulates the negative responses I see here.
I even saw one post where a guy admitted it would bring players back to the game and get them to play more often, with obvious caveat of the event being active..... Sorry, games bad man, its become repetitive, stayed broken in terms of balance for the longest time, and outright trash content is constantly released. Jet-pack cargo? Ewok hunt? A Han solo season? Skins most moders could make in a couple hours, let alone minutes? This event Imo blows all 4 out the water 10:1. And even you nay-sayers know it.
Or take a stand, think outside the box, and be inventive with ways to get players back to playing and supporting this game with crystal purchases. I look forward to what you bring to the table in the coming months and will always be a star wars fan, It's the only reason I have over 2k posts here, but understand, even we have our limits. Good luck, I really wish this game the most success. Off to play me some skyrim now, maybe some Dark Souls, certainly not this game. I haven't uninstalled yet, grevious and the health cards are really the only thing holding me back atm. I almost Hope red dead isn't going to be as good as I think it is, for your games sake.
Battlefront is supposed to be a shooter where occasionally you get a hero. Not a hero game where you’re forced to play as a trooper.
The thing is, the game is at its most fun when you’re a hero and HU showcased that.
So now the inevitable trajectory of the game is that future modes will emphasize heroes and troopers will likely be neglected. And that frustrates some people.

The fact that heroes are so cheap means I can experiment more with other heroes and not worry so much about dying.
I think it's a great mode and should be permanent.
Is there a way to do an ALL HEROES mode in GA? Like EVERYONE can spawn as one. Although this wouldn't work with ION cannons.
Agreed. The lag with 40 players was very noticeable. A 30 or 26 player battle like this might help the server lag. All those heroes with their special abilities, coupled with all those troopers made for some laggy matches.
That being said, setting up "Events" like this to test out new ideas is a great way to figure out what will work and what won't in the game.
I wanna see a desert match with T-47 speeders and ATST's on it. Let's see how much an ATST can dominate a map with a T-47 flying around?
It’s fine while you’re being a Hero or Villain, but pretty rubbish if you’re still a trooper as you’re pretty much screwed!
It was great, but definitely an event rather than permanent.
It gives us something else to look forward to! 😁
I agree. The thing about a "special event" is that it looses its "special" when it's the norm...
No joke I just dropped dead and the kill feed panned WAY OUT
The lag is real if this becomes official

I took time last night while playing and arguing with some close friends over this topic to record 2 examples of what is being discussed here.
The 1st half of this video is ALL about SELFISH Hero Play. (Only worrying about staying alive and getting those kill streaks).
The 2nd half of this video is ALL about Playing for the TEAM's benefit. (Sacrifice plays, not quitting, and being relentless about PTO).
Now I don't even remotely expect all of you to watch this in it's entirety. It is a 36:17 long video with 2 matches within it. But for those that do watch it, Learn from it. Because I took time to show how polarizing the difference was between Selfish/PTO Hero play.
You even hear me in the second part of the video discussing this very issue among friends on discord. So let's end the debate of "Top of Leader boards means you're the Best". Because that's Not true. The Best players are those who play for their Team, regardless of what spot they are on the leader boards. As always, thanks for reading, have a fantastic week, and May the Force be with Us, Always.
Enjoy the Video:

I couldn’t agree more.
Thanks dude. I just edited the comment and added the PG-13 version link. It’s actually funny now because of it lol.

Great gameplay! Especially on Kashyyyk.
Curious about your analysis of your Naboo gameplay. Didn’t seem that selfish to me. Seemed like you were always going after the guys with the ion launchers and pushing hard down the hallways. Not much more Bossk can do. You didn’t seem to be playing it all that safe and you led the only successful charge into that room.
What would more objective and sacrificial gameplay looked like?
@kevanwithana , Very good question. For that example, what I should have done is push and stick to one side, making sure I had their heroes under pressure and focusing on me, allowing my teams heroes to rotate freely as need be. A good Bossk that PTO’s should have focused only on one side and middle to deny traffic between sides

Love it, i would love to see Hero Galactic Assault Mode !! i rarely play as heros, mostly because i have little exp/low lvl heros and i would rather have some good player play the hero char to push for the team. but in the hero unleashed i was able to have tons of fun, i never seen heros camp, it was totally mega hyper fun weekend, if i only could i would spend like two days straight on GA. well with some technical breaks
You mean this?
Yes, please.
The teams win, a group of individuals lose, unfortunately the "team" is NOT rewarded with a podium standing compared to the individuals who have high body counts.
I don't believe this is what the Devs planned in the beginning but it is what they've created so far...
Very true indeed.
With the friends I play with, we each play hard and have certain classes/ways we play individually which creates a fantastic synergy. It’s even more prevalent when we come against other teams of friends on the enemy team. Those matches in particular are what I adore. Those moments, the fights, the back and forth. It’s the best kind of match for sure.

They are busy sending everyone to new servers for some reason.
Sad but true.
Excellent question.
It'd be a shame for people to forget that you have to put in effort for your rewards, rather than blindly derp around and still get to run around with that oh-so-mighty glowstick.
Let's not kid ourselves here. We all know why the vast majority of "make it permanent!" really want it to be permanent. Despite the by-now disgustingly desperate wishes, it isn't Jedi Power Battles. But if it makes you feel better, Jedi Knight Academy is pretty cheap on Steam now.
But I'm not completely dictated by logic like a droid; So I don't mind it being a monthly sort of event just to blow off some steam. By no means should it ever be permanent though, even in the lesser evil of being its own mode. Put in the effort to better yourself and be among the first in GA to claim a hero rather than relying on a "for the lols" event to live out your wet dreams, perhaps?
I'll not deny I had my fun with my folks, but simultaneously, it was also the strongest arguement FOR a Friendly Fire thing to be added. (If you play Leia and place even 1 Squad Shield stupidly, I should be allowed to rid my entire team of your detrimental presence. If you play Iden and imagine that taking sniper potshots at one or two guys from the backline is contributing, I should be allowed to kill you and hopefully someone WAY better picks up her and leads the team to Victory. Lord knows Iden can do that. And finally, if you play Bossk and just snipe..? Yeah, same treatment there. )
There are no standards to support the "Everyone gets a hero!" arguement. Create some, and enforce them, and I for one, will be more open to "Ok, it can be permanent."
Having standards is, contrary to the bottom of the barrel, not elitism. It's just (Becomes, sooner or late)simple logic.

I appreciate the time you took to write a thorough, constructive response here. That being said...
...I completely disagree with everything you stated, claimed, assumed—in its entirety.
There is no kidding ourselves going on here. If you didn’t take the time to read the responses from the top-tier players here who tout the greatness and undeniable permanent need for this mode, then you unfortunately lost your position back during the information gathering phase.
{EA_Lanna: removed potentially baiting line}
The overwhelming majority of players, from n00***** to l33ts, have voted for this to be a permanent mode; many posting to state their reasons why.
{EA_Lanna Quotes and baiting removed from post}
So much this lol
Let's play sometime!
Is it me or did you guys read basically the same thing? It must be my contacts, Imma go get some new ones and try again.
So thank you, whoever you may be, for that!

Dice/EA is pretty terrible at delivering what the fans wan't, in a timely manner or otherwise. So i'm not holding my breath on this mode. I said my peace and in the meantime we'll see if the Heal cards and grevious are enough of a balancing/interest uptick to make the game playable again. If not then I'm just uninstalling. I'm tired of waiting on these fail Devs, they really do benefit for there not being that many universally good AAA titles out there. Otherwise the games population would plummet even more so than it already has. I'm sure their average playtime is in the trash as well.
Dice, do the right thing, make this mode permanent. I don't even log in for the daily crate anymore. It's been months
I do, however, agree that it should be made its own mode. Or maybe be added in Conquest. Or maybe it could just be a vote as to whether or not the event happens for that round.
But great though, I just wasn't sure if I was reading it correctly, thanks for confirming my suspicions. I'll step outta the echo-chamber now, I only came in to validify that those were your points.
