Heroes are no longer the priority. Add content for troopers.
No more heroes after Anakin. Not for a while, at least. Trooper gameplay needs to be revitalized, and content needs to be rounded out. Heroes will have received 4 new additions as of February. At the rate content is being delivered, if the focus for 2019 is another set of heroes then infantry players will have been kicked to the curb AGAIN.
NECESSARY:
- Unlock the faction restriction for all of the default blasters. Cross era weapons are already a thing, there is no point in maintaining a faction correlation only for the defaults. This is an easy way to "add" plenty of blasters without too much effort. Even if they are different only cosmetically it will still create the illusion of more choice.
- NEW weapons, maybe including cross-class weapons as well, (think PDWs in battlefield)
- More trooper equipment/abilities
- More trooper customization (Look around, plenty of threads)
- A true troopers only mode. NO, none of the modes so far are trooper modes so long as they have tiered units (enforcers/aerials). Cargo has potential, but whatever the mode is, the options should be Assault, Heavy, Officer, or Specialist. Nothing else.

ANOTHER THING TO CONSIDER:How you have fun playing this game is subjective, but there are ways in which the content above is OBJECTIVELY better than a single hero per month. You don't need to race with other players to be the first to use a weapon, trooper ability, or a trooper skin, like you do with a hero (whether farming BP in GA or scrolling across the HvV selection menu). You don't need to hope to be on the right team in the first place either (except for skins). People won't leave games en masse because they weren't quick enough to get to try the new content like they do in HvV.
After trooper content is accounted for the logical next step would be to add maps, but we'll see if the herolords can tolerate not having Ahsoka or Padme or whoever.

Reinforcements and Aerials need to be taken out of Blast and an objective mode needs to be added without them.

No one is going to get any new content ever again if you want them to fix the game first
New content just add in more bugs that water down the gameplay.

New heroes are great and all, but in the end they alone are not enough to hold players IMO. There’s not much depth at all to them, you get a main weapon, were stuck with three unswappable abilities and cards that only enhance the skill set. I’m already bored with Obi and Grebbles.
Wise bfloo... Cargo would get my vote. I’d never touch HvV or GA again.

You're right. The Count and Anakin must NOT be added until we sort this game out.

I would be fine with anakin & dooku not coming right away. This will give them time to be polished & not the bugged mess obi & Mr. Cough was
As someone that’s been hoping for and now really looking forward to Dooku coming, probably as much as you with Anakin..I agree with this 100%.

It's not that I disagree, I'm just not sure I have faith in their ability to do so

Fresh blaster action
this.

2. Maps
3. Cargo
4. Skins
5. Heroes
At this point, bugs are just a part of Battlefront 2. They fix one and add two. Lost cause.
I can get with this list.

IMO infantry combat feels better and more balanced to me than hero gameplay.
And I agree with OP. The game needs some more weapons & skins for all troopers & factions and one or two more infantry only modes without hero spam. Add a few more maps to extraction too, as the mode is fun and one of the good infantry modes in the game but is in desperate need of more maps.
Star Wars is about people in Halloween costumes and robots shooting each other with lasers
Bring on the trooper content
Not always. There are other things in this game, too, and in Star Wars. I understand that Hero combat and other Hero-related things are broken, but Troopers deserve some love, too! Don't get me wrong, I love our hero characters in the movies and books, but this game isn't meant to be entirely about them.
And specifically with battlefront. Battlefront has always been about taking the spotlight and putting it on the unsung heroes: side characters, troopers, pilots, all the little things apart from the most popular and famous icons.
Our beloved franchise has been hijacked by the herolords.
Exactly. Agreed.
Agreed. This would be a welcome change and addition.
Dude I know right.
Ya know I’m behind ya, ^ this people.
Gameplay is already watered down, I’m drowning actually.
No doubt.
This is battlesabers now my dude

You need a game dedicated to heroes.
Hero combat in this game is just trash.
Jango in Bounty Hunter had more things he could do than the heroes in this game combined.

The powerful T21 in Battlefront II, the dream
So true lol.

That Specialist rework was disappointing.

sad but true
You probably think Heroes ruin the game because you get wrekt by them all the time and blame them instead of your own skill, trust me I see this complex all the time. Trooper gameplay would need a MASSIVE overhaul, and I'm talking something like a BF3/BF4 overlay redesign where it's first person and playing a role actually mattered instead of death matching or just rushing the objective. In short, not going to happen.
The trooper gameplay has actually become worse since the last game and is way too casual to be of any interest or focal point, I'm sorry but the truth hurts.
Quiet down, casual. You're terrible at infantry modes. We get it. I'm sorry you're such a bad player. That doesn't mean other players shouldn't have true infantry-only options. It's a staple in FPS games. I don't see infantry players calling to remove HvV.
You have plenty of game modes for casual button-mashing lightsaber play. There's no reason we can't have a legitimate infantry-only option as all AAA FPS games do.
The focus of the og battlefronts was always the infantry play, and what the fans of the battlefront series thought we were signing up for, not this half baked quasi hero game where you are a hero of glorified ai to be skewered.
Pirate of the Knights of Gareth
lol what aspect about playing a hero is even remotely interesting compared to playing a trooper? Lame. More trash broken abilities and a couple more sloppy overpriced hero skins over the T-21? DT-12? Yeah, sorry but on paper that's a total joke.
You probably think troopers are boring because you get rekt all the time while playing as them and blame the gameplay instead of your own skill, trust me I see this complex all the time. Hero gameplay would need a MASSIVE overhaul, and I'm talking something like a redesign where heroes have specific skillsets beyond CC, and gameplay involved more complex tactics than playing "GOTCHA!" with stuns, or mashing buttons. In short, hero gameplay isn't worth it.
When I can take your "argument," rearrange a few words, and turn it completely against you, it means your "argument" carries absolutely no weight at all.
"uhm herores are more fun than troopers to me" is not an argument
"haha i bet you get rekt all the time" is not an argument
if you want to delete your post and save a little face, feel free to message me and I'll remove this
Your probably couldn't even hold a candle to me, banana. Lmao. Your trooper play in this game is trash and takes no skill. Going 73-0 in this game as a mere trooper is pretty much impossible compared to the last game, and gee I wonder why. Oh yeah, that's the dumbing down of nearly everything into a predesigned package where even the worst scrub can get a multi-kill simply by throwing a grenade at his feet.
The only real skill here is who get's the Hero first and goes on the longest kill streak to carry the rest of the team before dying to a shotgun or some other bull. Give me a break.
Heroes have been a significant part of Battlefront since BF2 2005, it was a major selling point of that game and Heroes have been a significant part of battlefront since.
It is not hero players who have hijacked this game, it is the Clone Wars fans who need every single character from that show to be in this game in the form of hero.
If that’s what you think of Star Wars why are you even playing this game?
Literally Star Wars is ABOUT heroes. Star Wars only exists today to tell the story of the Skywalker family (in case you didn’t know they are some of the, if not, THE most powerful force users in the galaxy).
So yeah, it is and always will be about the heroes.
Heroes in 2005 were not the same if you ask me. Short lived units that blitzed the enemy to make a sudden shift in the battle. They were never the focus of gameplay, troopers were much more in depth.
Imagine unironically thinking beating up grunts as a hero requires more skill than facing other players on a more level playing field. I'm starting to doubt your sincerity.
lmao, your honesty just embarrassing yourself with this. A ported over weapon from the last game is suddenly on the same level as getting Jango Fett? Yeah, you may wan't to think that one through. They rest of that delusion isn't even worth addressing. As if all Heroes do is just cast CC, lmao. I don't play that trash scrub mode HvV. I can actually get a hero in the first 3 mins of a GA. Nothing but CC? lmao, give me a break. If your caught mind tricking as rey or trying to get off a stun on troopers your losing massive HP 9/10s it's the reason you rarely see a good maul choking because he's most vulnerable at that point, anybody with skill knows that. Most of the CC cast is in HvV. irrelevant.
Turn my argument against me? Ha. Don't make me laugh.
Hard to argue with this here.
What makes HvV scrub mode?
Infantry-play has also been a selling point. Most infantry players abandoned BF17 (or never bought it).
Can you blame us? Every AAA FPS game has infantry-only options. There's not a single infantry mode without reinforcements or aerials on BF17.
What do you mean "why am I playing this game" ?
This isn't herofront, it's battlefront. I get it, you like heroes, but other people prefer to play as troopers, and it's time for trooper content. If you don't have an argument against trooper content other than "I like heroes" then I'm afraid you aren't going to get anywhere
And sure the stories told in the movies are LITERALLY about the heroes, but the SW universe has plenty of other things to offer, and you're kidding yourself if you think people like me are in the minority.
Heroes were a quick gimmick in the og bf2, at least until the modders took over. They couldn't dictate the outcome of a game with the timer.
Pirate of the Knights of Gareth
Because the hot shot is probably terrible at it.
