More than an event for the players, it'll be an experiment for the devs.
I don't want to miss that event.
Good idea devs!
Era Locked Heroes!
Yessssssssssss!!!!
Is it still going to be 4 lightside heroes available in the final phase?
Unless they restrict the hero count on the ST era maps down to 2 for the duration of the event, there's really going to be a lot of balancing issues happening there no matter what. Also, they must fix Kylo Ren's frenzy not working and buff Phasma a bit for GA otherwise the First Order might as well be going hero-free on this one.
I guess they'll limit heroes number to 2 in ST maps.
One inevitable conclusion of the Eras event will be "we don't have enough heroes/villains for ST era".
I insist: if they plan to include more heroes after Anakin, Poe and Hux are the best options.
Happy New Year fellow Battlefront Addicts!

Jakku and takodana never gets to the final phase anyways. Only a problem to crait
FINALLY!!! I've been dying for an Era-accurate Galactic Assault match, this sounds wonderful. I hope that the hero count is limited in-round to 2 characters for each Faction for the ST, but the Light Side still has the Original Trilogy folks to choose from. Hopefully we can see some more characters for the Sequels arrive soon, like Maz (in-game), Hux (...basically the announcer Ginger), Snoke, and my dude Poe Dameron to give them a full HvV and GA roster.
Also moar Clown Wurz characters if ya can, I want to behead Mace as Jango on Coruscant.
Wait...
He knew.
This January but the exact date for the changes idk .
This
you should also make kills count triple for purposes of unlocking guns and gun mods for the newcomers. that would really inspire them.
TRIPLE KILL FTW!
Can the Triple XP event for troopers also be in Extraction? I find that game mode more fun than Blast and Strike.
What the ROADMAP should look like for 2019/2020:
“Season” 4: Rogue One
“Season” 5: Clone Wars Revival
“Season” 6: Episode IX
I doubt it. They probably change the appearance for the phase I troopers.

Looking forward to the Coruscant Guard and upcoming 501st trooper updates. Saving the best for last!
Most battalions and even companies had ARF Troopers (Advanced Recon Force Troopers, and they were scouts.) If Dice was to say that the entire 41st Elite Corps was made up of ARF Troopers, they would be saying that approximately all 36864 troopers were ARF Troopers, which is very wrong. Dice somewhat tried to make the different classes similar to different types of Clone armor, but the Specialist was the closest, and they are in standard armor with a pauldron and macro binoculars. If it was worth all the time it would take to design them, it would be nice to see every variant have different armor types, like standard phase I and II armor, ARF Troopers, Flame Troopers, Jet Trooper, and so on. But that's a lot of character models that other factions don't have. Look forward to when modders get access to making character models. Still, Dice is doing a good job of picking clone appearances. It would also be nice if the Officer's armored appearance had the same variants as the other troopers.
You can't imagine my friend! Hah, even if it's just for a weekend.....I'll be devoting every waking hour to the GA as I wish it had been done. I still play this game all the time and I appreciate all of us who have kept it alive (even those I have disagreed and debated with) because I know we all want a Battlefront game we can live our skills and imagination with.....and this one weekend will be a gift to me to not see Rey on Naboo.....for the first time ever. NO wall hacks on that map for that weekend my friends.
I really think this shall prove very interesting because there will be challenging limitations applied for some that should lead to some new strategies and variety in gameplay. The Emperor won't dominate any ST maps, Rey cannot wall hack Endor or Mos Eisley, Boskk won't be gassing the check points on Takodana or Crait, Yoda will probably be PT restricted. Or so it seems.
This should be a liberating experience! It'll be quite a different Galactic Assault for a few days!
FIX STRIKE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!! No point having an event with it when starting a game is totally broken.
If they're truly being Era specific, Yoda should be available in all eras.
I think most who want era accurate are fine with keeping him playable ONLY in his combative phase of his life.
Chewbacca is probably the only one who should cover all eras....I'm sure most who are in support of Era Accuracy only want Yoda playable in his combative era.
