When a Clone skin gets delayed

Another update with ONE hero that we all get to clamour over for the next month. You’re too kind, DICE. Too kind.

Are you serious? First they nerf the AT-TE, then they buff the AT-TE, and now they nerf it again!? Make up your mind! I know the results of an update are ever-changing, but really? The clones usually loose the first phase! To be fair I guess I wouldn’t know how often the clones win since I hardly ever get this map.

The AT-TEs are server side adjustable. Not sure why this couldn’t be done at anytime. Why the facade?

Could have been done two weeks ago. I am assuming there is some kind of corporate process or something.

Some stuff worth checking from reddit:

We're doing stuff based on our telemetry and also pulling levers that don't require us to release a content update or a hard coded fix.

Changing things that we have available 'on the server' makes things a lot easier. If we this works well, then great. If not, we can tweak more without having to wait for a deployment.

F8RGE wrote:

It was a tough choice and one that we didn't take lightly. Ultimately we didn't want to release appearances now and then have a rework a month later.

Not only could that be frustrating for players but it also removes us from the situation where we are making changes and then have to change things again.

No, they are part of the Clone Trooper stuff in February.

Just brought this up with the team. The reason you are getting lower credits is your overall scoreboard placement. Increasing BP reward for playing the objective is a QoL fix we are looking at including.

F8RGE wrote:

"Doesn't reply" Steady on now, you can easily check through my posting history to see that I do reply to stuff.

What part of "if we had something to say, we'd say it" is difficult to understand? I cannot talk about things until they are ready to be talked about, regardless of if it's yes or no. This is the same for every other game out there.

We care about a lot of things, but there is always a priority. What do you want, a stats page or new game mode? These are the kind of decisions we have to make, we're going to make some people unhappy but we will hopefully make others happy. No matter what we do, we will always be making someone unhappy to accuse us enough of not caring.

Disclaimer before this turns into "MoDe EqUaLs StAtS pAgE", i'm not saying they are equal in terms of resource, just using them as an example. Everything we've added comes at the expense of something else.

If you have cats playing the game I'm more than happy to take a look and reply accordingly. It will probably be more constructive to this sub than your comment.

F8RGE wrote:

Just because something gets data mined doesn't mean it's ready to be shipped. This is how the whole Droideka stuff happened, things got left in a a build when they shouldn't be.

Priorities might change, which is one of the hardest things we have to account for. Stats page will require a lot of UI work, not to mention QA as well as other areas such as online engineering. We've got a great team but we can't magic extra working days out of the air, sadly.

I suggest to read the comments in context (that's why I also provided the link).

Have they announced when the Chewbacca buff is coming? It didn’t seem to be in today’s update.

That is not an excuse to not put in there, they could just write “large scale mode” like they were doing so far

grimmace2 · February 5, 2019 12:47AM

It's unnerving if they really haven't decided on a title for the new mode this late in the development process. If something as simple as a title hasn't been decided upon, what does that say about the hard parts (ie. coding, testing, etc.)?

The lack of an official name for it doesn't stop them from saying "new large-scale mode" somewhere in the CC.
Its lack of inclusion and Ben's response make it pretty clear that it's been delayed, again.

Well then.....since the only mode I’ve been waiting for has probably been delayed

I feel like 's worth sharing here.

I would like to remark the uhm on reinforcements (all the other questions were answered) and the parts about arcade, streams and weapons. I don't like how he says the "team that we've got", "we had such a good rythm going" or again "team members that would have been working on weapons were needed for other things".

Hunt Mode: So is that a yes or a no for more coming. Who cares if it was promised or not? Just give us an answer
Reinforcements: That isn't an answer, please try again
Hero Blast: Same as above. How long does it take to 'look' at something, does that still mean brainstorming? Concepts? Mechanics? How far along the production line is 'still looking into it'?
As a side not, please just tell us if your team is big enough to support this game. It was mentioned 3 times in this post alone that things aren't coming/getting finished because of team priorities being elsewhere, that's a huge red flag that the Dev team is not big enough for this game.

Agreed. If priorities are elsewhere (as indicated), what are they? Has everything been focused on the new heroes/game mode? If so, let us know. Announced heroes are all (almost) here, game mode is (almost) here...hopefully. What is the next focus?

Jett_Fett_91166 · February 8, 2019 4:53PM

Good to hear an emote wheel is more important than new weapons or new maps. Yeah, here are more broken heroes and content limiting events. Could this game be any more mismanaged?
Fubar.

The Qui-Gon part's hilarious because the OP on that Reddit thread said that EA once showed Qui-Gon in a promo video that was then removed but it was actually an April Fools video by BFUpdates.
The OP has since removed that comment about Qui-Gon after being called out.

ELIMELECH0401 · February 8, 2019 6:34PM

The Arcade content will be made at a later date, correct?

I would say twitter, reddit or Discord. You would be surprised on how much Ben and Jay share in these other places. OFF TOPIC: Enjoy KH3. It's a great close for Xehanort's saga, but it gets crazy near the end and has some hooks to both the mobile spin off and the web browser game (Chi and Unchained Chi/Union Cross).

Back on topic, take these two memes with a grain of salt. For context, Some_Info is a pretty infamous leaker for battlefront in reddit. He is been consistently right and has given updates on what's to come during "dark times" of bad communication (he leaked all emotes and abilities for Grievous and Obi Wan before the CT were even live, for example).

He is obviously insinuating that the delay for the new large scale mode is due to new reinforcements (like droidekas). I wouldn't be posting two meme posts if Ben had not said what he said a few days ago. Nothing about reinforcements (if they were coming and the CT would announce that he wouldn't be able to say anything concrete until then) and the team focused on something else (making workable and balanced droidekas plus at least 2 new enforcers for the LS would mean a lot of work related to different areas).

Anyways, let's wait for the CT, but keep this info in mind while we wait.

ZephanUnbound · February 10, 2019 5:29PM

^That is excellent news, Some_Info has proven to be a reliable leaker and it will be very cool to see the new reinforcements in the mode (presumably Droiddekas for CIS and ARC troopers for Republic).

Player choice =/= Fun for everyone
I believe that this is referring to the mixing of clone armour phases which, if it is the case, my statement holds true. There are plenty of ways for player choice to be implemented and not impede on authenticity which is where I personally get my fun from. The "it's just a game" arguement is old and tired and it's extreme;y disappointing that the CM is now using the phrase.
Ps. something doesn't have to be 100% serious to be 100% authentic and accurate, whilst not affecting fun or player choice

If I remember correctly, he at some point was related to weapons. But, with respect to the upcoming update, he is the one that has been working on the clone trooper appearances (including armored officers).

Their idea of "overpowered" is what makes most Heroes not fun to play as in general. I'm glad they finally reversed themselves after striking out on these past 3 releases.
