Galactic Assault Rotation: Holidays

F8RGE · December 18, 2018 1:45PM

Hey everyone,

Was some great feedback yesterday in terms of the Galactic Assault planet rotation.

As of tomorrow morning at 4am CET we will be running the following rotation.

Geonosis > Kamino > Naboo > Kashyyyk > Yavin 4 > Hoth > Tatooine > Deathstar II > Endor > Jakku > Takodana > Starkiller Base > Crait

This will be in place until the New Year and we will then take another look at the rotation based on your feedback.

Draco_RSA · December 18, 2018 2:10PM

Keep the full rotation and get rid of EOR MM. DO NOT limit content ever again!!!

NomiSunstrider · December 18, 2018 2:13PM

People want to play Geonosis so i guess this is the only way without a map or era selector.

kirtanloorii · December 18, 2018 2:15PM

Oh, this is much better. I was actually signing on just to complain again about doing the same five maps over and over again. It's like music: no matter how good the song is, it gets burned out if you listen to it five times a day. Even the best song in the world.

Empire_TW · December 18, 2018 2:51PM

There is 0 reason to stray away from having all maps available. Keep it this way.

Woeisaustin · December 18, 2018 2:58PM

Nobody wants to play takodana .

Woeisaustin · December 18, 2018 2:58PM

Crait before Geanosis is so stupid !! Have a short map before Geanosis

The_Sith_Apprentice · December 18, 2018 3:11PM

Is there any chance in having Geonosis come up multiple times in this rotation? I would maybe insert Geonosis in two more spots in the location.

I want to play it...I like it. There is not one of the maps in GA that I dislike.

Is there any chance of inserting Geonosis into the rotation two more times for those who want to play it? I am sure there will be some new players who will want to.

How are they acting like they're seeing success with rotations?? EORMM will absolutely toss you to a different server/random map after EVERY two matches....are they pretending that that isn't happening to every single player??!!

It didn’t happen to me this morning. I went from Kamino to Naboo. But I got lucky.

You are right. Only 20% of the people playing on Kamino were placed into Naboo, and I exited after watching the “waiting for 15 players” thing not change for five minutes.

Agreed, especially since the whole idea seemed to be so folks can play Geonosis more often.

Separate question, won't EOR:MM totally bork the rotation anyway? Isn't this just going back to what we already had before their bad "shift rotation" idea? Just wondering.

Jett_Fett_91166 · December 19, 2018 12:32AM

How about a little less focus on map rotation and a little more focus on map addition. Geonosis drops with 1 mode. New maps, ported maps, campaign maps, something, anything new. There is some feedback.

Knight_of_Onions · December 19, 2018 2:29AM

Rotation is meaningless as long as EOR random server shuffle is in place.

I agree. I don’t get why EOR matchmaking isn’t just shuffling the teams and keeping everyone on the same server? Then we wouldn’t have a map rotation that doesn’t matter.

Right?? They'd rather plug their fingers in their ears and scream "WE'VE BEEN GETTING POSITIVE FEEDBACK!"

They're pretty much talking to us like schmucks now.

OutboundFlight1 · December 19, 2018 5:23AM

Agree with the above- get rid of EOR matchmaking!

But besides that- I really like this setup! If I get an era I stay there for a while... makes sense. No more confusion. I’ll stay around during the CW and GCW and leave once they reach the bad maps. Thanks DICE!

Thanks for what?? You wont get any kind of set up...EORMM may continuously shuffle you to a ST map all night.

Piscettios · December 19, 2018 5:49AM

‘We will then take another look at the rotation based on your feedback.’

Why? Fiddling and juggling maps is completely unnecessary, save for the release of a new map.

Just leave it alone. In BF ‘15 for example, Cargo always had the EXACT same rotation, probably still does. I could select my fav map and play the 3-4 in a row that I liked. Same will happen here if you just leave it alone. Players will get used to it and figure out when to jump in and when to leave.

This is unnecessary and does nothing to keep the game fresh or more fun.

Unwarycoin · December 19, 2018 9:00AM

I like the set up, and after a random point (no update, I think.) I have gotten a regular rotation every time.

VaperEyes · December 19, 2018 1:05PM

My broken record sounds like this:
Much appreciated Team - sounds like a ton of fun - and keep up the beautiful work. Happy Holidays..... May the Force be with You

Billkwando · December 19, 2018 4:35PM

No offense to F8RGE, of course. I don't believe he's personally making these map rotation decisions, and I don't believe anyone is attacking him personally for delivering the message. Just as nobody should shoot the messenger, nobody should be giving the messenger a gold star for delivering it either.

"Hooray! Your team aborted a plan to make things worse, and now they'll just stay as they are. Princess Leia is ready to give you your medals now."

Salacious_Me_1138 · December 19, 2018 8:07PM

Yeah I wouldn't put "royal class" any where near Dice or the devs.

I don’t even like knowing the rotation personally. Yea I have fave maps but the surprise is more interesting personally.

I actually suggested having a random rotation for every server, but then again it's nice to know when I get to Theed in Blast.

EA_Cian · December 20, 2018 1:11PM

Folks, this is a thread about map rotation - not End of Round Matchmaking. I would like to remind you all of this and ask we stay on topic, we've discussed this topic a few times in different threads and while I understand there's frustration over the setup still, so once again: we need to stay on topic.

Thunderflare99 · December 20, 2018 2:44PM

I don't know how this map rotation thing has had to become such a big issue. Ok, so this is the new rotation with all the maps, and in era order. Looks good., stay consistent. Punch it.

Jett_Fett_91166 · December 20, 2018 6:24PM

Geonosis -can't find it
Kamino - auto quit
Naboo - auto quit
Kashyyyk - auto quit
Yavin 4 - auto quit
Hoth- play
Tatooine - auto quit
Deathstar II -play
Endor - auto quit
Jakku - auto quit
Takodana- auto quit
Starkiller Base play
Crait- play

Also since the Geonosis drop the lag has gotten worse.

Salacious_Me_1138 · December 21, 2018 3:27PM

So how's that rotation going everyone? 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Piscettios · December 22, 2018 4:24PM

Where’d that thread go with discussion about map rotation and how EOR affects it? Could have swore it was this one...

EoR MM shuffles servers for everyone every 2 games, we cannot utilize a map rotation when we are shuffled every 2 games.

holstar1993 · December 22, 2018 6:41PM

Need to add a few "quit due to empty lobby" to your rotation list. Just got thrown into an empty lobby on naboo after death star 2. Nice rotation. I even have been put in a lobby by myself on occasion. Working as intended.

If you ever play the full rotation in order, you should buy a lottery ticket.

CommanderColt121 · December 23, 2018 10:33PM

Good so now I know to back out after Endor 😂😂😂 Disney Maps are trash

Draco_RSA · December 24, 2018 3:23PM

Map rotation mentioned above is not working. I'm not allowed to discuss why it is not working.

Please remove EOR MM and actually place teams accordingly. Always getting useless players who don't play the objective or arent even good at the game, you say you shuffle the teams but it's not happening.

ThatDeathTrooper · December 25, 2018 11:30PM

Is this a joke ? I have only been playing on Geonosis 1 time since a week, i always get the same maps :

Deathstar 2 50% of the time
Endor 20% of the time
Kashyyyk 10% of the time
Tatooine 10% of the time

I almost never have the other maps. And what's the point of map rotation while you get sent on random servers after just two rounds on the same map ? For example when i'm on Endor after i'm done with the map i get sent to a random map but never in the order mentionned above.

Mouse92im · December 26, 2018 1:12AM

I was really looking forward to burning through these maps in chronological order as hoped since launch. After many hours of playing, not once did I witness this sequence.

Never played Naboo. I was optimistic on my third map (fifth match) that followed the list, but ultimately turned into a dead lobby after 9v10 never started. Everyone just dropped after waiting upwards of 10 minutes for it to fill.

Appreciate the generous thought for the playlist. I challenge anyone to try to play it through successfully. You’ll have greater success playing the lottery.

cosworth99 · December 26, 2018 7:17AM

I must be playing some odd game. GA, top four. I was leading at one point. No heroes available. For like 6 rounds. I saw heroes in the game. I sat for 30 seconds in second place seeing if a hero would come available. Nope.

This 1.5 event has kinda sucked. HvV is the only way to level up.

I guess I’m becoming a fan of the blended GA and Hero Blast where all heroes are available.

Ultras · December 26, 2018 8:46PM

More Geonosis!!!

It worked for me (well Crait lead into Geonosis, and on a separate run Geonosis lead into Kamino, can't remember the rest). Which system do you play on, because that might have something to do with it?
I wish you good luck!

Sounds like you had a couple of occasions where two maps sequenced properly.
..we've yet to hear of anybody experiencing the full rotation.

Kamykatz · December 27, 2018 10:58AM

I was lucky to have played Geonosis for the 3rd ever time since its release, as I was put on Crait for once. Every other session had me usually start with Kashyyyk or Naboo, which is 20+ rounds away from Geonosis. The new content sure feels exlusive this way.

quenaelin · December 28, 2018 8:57AM

I have played couple of GA matches at Christmas but still never played Geonosis yet, perhaps next year. Doesn't really matter so much, I am playing HvV mostly.
