But they shouldn't be hammering away at him like that. I see analin charging up and I back off.
However, I do think that unlimited damage is too much. It should cap off at 400. That's enough to do a huge chunk of damage.
Correction: nobody's saber switches off now. Well done.
However, in this case, it's been a disaster for the game. For both HvV and for GA. Once more, EA / DICE have ignored the majority of the players to spruce up a 1 player of 8 or of 40. In other words (or #s), that's 12.5% or 2.5% of the playing population get a bonus. The remaining 87.5% in HvV or 97.5% in Galactic Assault, get a big Nothing Burger & a side of Scr_wU with this release.
It seems like Enforcer rockets do more damage as well; now knocking down any grunt caught in the blast radius.
Normal troopers (grunts) are now simple place-holders on the Galactic Assault boards. I have yet to see any assault make it to the final stage. Once a choke point is reached - juggernauts on Kashyyyk, the palace entrance of Naboo, and any of the stages of Kamino - the game is over. Because Anakin.
Ion shots no longer matter.. who cares if MTTs make it to stage 2 on Kashyyyk or Naboo? All that matters is Anakin.
The whole game stops because of Anakin. EA/DICE have completely bungled up Galactic Assault with this release. I am going to predict that player-ship will DECREASE because no one wants to play GA while this goes on. Where's the enjoyment of the game for the 97.5% who are not Anakin?
Congrats, DICE, you've killed your own game with this release. But, you'll blame Fortnite or some other game's popularity for the demise of BF: not your own ineptitude to see what a mess this trend in Heroes and Villains is doing to the game.
For once focus on the Troopers of the game, not the Heroes and Villains!!!
First off, I love how he plays. He's powerful. He's strong. He can is a game changer that turns around the outcome of a match singlehandedly. I don't necessarily see anything wrong with that for the most part. Yoda, Bossk and Palpatine do it in Galactic Assault all the time. Grievous, Lando and Han did it in HvV all the time.
I love his abilities. They aren't useless. They aren't poop. Each one is impactful in it's own way. I really think you guys did a great job with his abilities.
I really like the 4th ability concept. It's really fun. I'm excited to see that other heroes are showing an empty slot. This makes me assume that an upcoming CT will likely reveal that more heroes will be getting a new 4th ability as well? That's certainly what it seems like. So if that's not the case, you seriously need to address it before we riot.
Overall, it's refreshing to have a Hero so impactful, powerful and fun to play in both Galactic Assault and HvV. He's really, really well made and quite fun to use.
That said, there's something wrong with Heroic Might. I don't necessarily think it's a damage issue or even a AOE issue. I think it's more of a line of sight issue. I've watched countless videos of villians getting one hit killed when they aren't even in the same room. That seems like a bug. There should definitely be a line of sight needed by Anakin in order for the ability to work.
Another thing that strikes me as annoying is that the OHK effects villians that aren't or haven't even engaged him. In HvV, you usually have multiple heroes fighting multiple villians at the same time. Many of these instances turn a 3v3 into three separate 1v1 scenarios. The issue is that Anakin will be battling in his 1v1, charge his Heroic Might against a teammate that accidentally hacks a few more times after the charge begins, then drops back to block the ability and BOOM, the other two villians are instantly dead that weren't even part of the fight.
E.g. yesterday I was Dooku vs Obi Wan and we were having a very entertaining battle. Yoda was messing around with Vader. And Anakin was against Kylo. So I'm fighting, blocking, dodging, chipping away at Obi Wan's health as best I can when I notice out to the corner of my eye Anakin get that constipated look on his face with Kylo giving another couple swings. I had just gotten some separation from Obi Wan and activated my Duelist ability. During the brief animation, Kylo barely gets his block up in time, Anakin unloads his fury, and I'm insta dead. It just didn't seem right. Seemed too cheap. More cheap than any stun already found in the game.
Maybe instead of an outright damage capping of the ability, you make a generic cap of 400 (when fully charged) for any opponent nearby that did NOT engage Anakin. Anyone silly enough to engage him will receive ADDITIONAL damage on top of 400. So in the previous scenario, instead of Vader and I immediately dying, we would have lost 400 health each and if Kylo hadn't gotten his block up, he would have been insta-killed. Or something like that.
Otherwise, I really love what you have done with the creation of the Chosen One and I really hope you don't nerf him into the ground.
That, is why you fail ... .
People who get to play Anakin, love Anakin. People who play against him, ... or with him, generally hate him. On a field of 40 players of Galactic Assault, that's 2.5% for, 97.5% against.
What happened to hitting Square? It does it for me just fine :O

Personally, the only changes that I would want made to Anakin is the bug fixes and a damage cap on Heroic Might at 400, same for Retribution. That’s all; don’t nerf anything else!

Just voicing my opinion about it. Personally, I've felt like a lot of these heroes have been weak and brittle in regard to this game. Especially compared to BF2015. Seems like I'm always choosing the same heroes if I want to significantly impact a match (especially Galactic Assault) and it's nice they made Anakin powerful enough to choose.
We know that you don't want ANYTHING to stifle your easy kills in GA.
So why play Galactic Assault? BF2015 - the Heroes were untouchable, except for Krennic. Luke was unbelievably over powered in BF1. Grunt troopers stood no chance against him as do they now in BF2 versus Anakin (& most other Bigs).
If the point is to have such powerful Heroes and Villains, why bother with even having GA??? Just play HvV and be done with it. The grunts just clutter the ground.
Just had another round of GA at Naboo. Once again, Anakin stuffed up the choke point at the palace entrance. All Galactic Assaults end when a choke point is reached.
This Anakin character in GA is the latest of silly decisions by the Development Team at DICE.
Why they did this doesn't make any sense.
I agree that certain heroes in BF2015 were a bit too difficult to kill. Bossk, Vader and Chewie were my mains and I was virtually unstoppable. Now put me on the opposite side of them, as a trooper, and I almost always whittled their health down to inevitably kill them or outright melted them from across the map with the EE-3. Heroes were stronger in that game but they didn't completely ruin the game either, imo. I enjoyed it because players actually used their heroes to play the objective. In this game, if you try to play the objective with anyone besides Bossk, and now possibly Anakin, your hero gets melted. The troopers are a lot more equipped to handle a hero in this game as well. Sentry, vanguard, flash grenade, stinger pistol and outright melee are individually way more effective than the normal bacta/jetpack combo you'd normally see from BF2015. Scatter gun was the closest thing to a hero killer that you could get but a perfect flash and good aim with an Officer can 1v1 any hero/villian in this game. The Heroes in BF2 are made of glass. Finally we get one that's actually quite fun and useful to play but I'm sure that won't last very long. Just my opinion though.
Oh, and I can't stand the BF2 version of HvV. I cringe every time someone says "just go play HvV if you want to be a hero". That mode is absolute garbage for a laundry list of different reasons.
Precisely. The maps in BF2015 did not have choke points. The maps we're broader and, yes, even the heroes could play the objectives. But you missed one other key point - there weren't 3+ heroes on each side, either. It was also harder to get into a hero as well; hence it was rare to see 2 heroes on a side at once.
No. The only players who say that are the ones who have no skill playing grunts and need to rely on the easy kills one gets with heroes and villains in BF2. There is nothing heroic about playing Heroes and Villains in GA. Bunch of wusses looking for easy gratification.
THANK YOU!
Yeah, you like to dish out those subtle, below the belt, shots as if it makes your point that much more valid. It doesn't. BF2 HvV is a waste of human time and existence to even mention in this conversation. You actually think that scrubs avoid HvV because of a skill gap? You couldn't be more mistaken. You see, here are the issues with your beloved HvV:
1. Target system gives trolls multiple ways to prolong matches that have no business lasting longer than 5 minutes.
2. Map exploits. Oh look, another target system issue. Players cowardly hiding in invisible wall glitches as the target so you can't reach them. Yeah bro...tons of skill.
3. Clans of over-achieving nuggets that have such little self-respect that they rage quit as a team the second they lose one point to a skilled player.
4. How about the stun spam? Nothing more skilled than running around getting stunned by Lando, followed by dur-dur-dur stunned by Rey/Obi Wan, followed by Chewie stunned all so you can rage-change characters to Phasma and stun Droid them while emoting "submit your weapon for inspection". SO MUCH SKILL FOR ME. I submit to the endless skill this game takes...
5. My favorite! What about the rage suicide respawn opponents that would rather kill themselves than own up to the fact that you're a better player. Even more hilarious when they do it because they don't want to lose first place overall in a match. Don't lie, that's you, right? Come on. You know it is. <I sense a quick quote for only this section coming. Ooh. You're going to own me.
6. How about when your teammates scatter like sewer rats at the start of a new match? I must be a scrub since I can't 1v4 a coordinated clan, right?
7. How about when the target continually launches themselves off ledges, intentionally committing suicide, to move the match along because A. They aren't the character they want to be. B. They like to troll. C. They're bored but want the credits. Is that the skilled mode you're talking about?
8. AFK. Nothing more skilled than playing with 1+ opponents that just abandon their controller to get a snack and you immediately kill their lifeless character standing at the spawn. You must be so proud of 1st place! Did you get that screenshot?
So yeah, I find it much more enjoyable and challenging to play as a hero in Galactic Assault. A mode where 2 AFK players isn't 50% of your team. A mode where a scrub doesn't survive longer than 30 seconds as a hero. A mode where saber spam isn't rewarded with endless killstreaks. A mode where heroes have to navigate straffing runs, ATST's, supercharged sentry's, insanely effective flash grenades, Specialist Melee, and other heroes all while doing it with a BIG RED PERMANENT DOT ON THE MAP making you the sole target for the entire enemy team. But yeah, only a scrub would say they dislike HvV. Whatever...
Now go ahead and PLEASE paraphrase small sections of my argument to help you feel like one of your knucklehead points has been validated by me. Because obviously any opinion other than your own must be an opinion owned by a scrub, right? Isn't that what you kids like to do today? Yeah, that's obviously winning the argument against me because your tactics are so subtle that I wasn't able to pick up on them after your first backhanded response to MY opinion on Anakin.
@AbyssWatch3r did I forget anything?
Errrrmmm .. are you hitting respawn?
Sorry bad joke.. just trying to lighten the mood haha
Once I armed the objective and the guy jumped onto the obj and started to do a poop. When the poop came out everyone was flattened and he disarmed it.
Top tip of the day guys!
Oh, am I? Did you even read the last part of my statement?
And, if easy kills in GA need stifling, why aren’t you crying for a nerf to Luke’s Push, Palps’ Chain Lightning, Finn’s Deadeye, Lando’s Sharpshot, Rey’s Insight, etc. All of them give you easy kills (or kill assist points in Rey’s case) for just pressing a button, same as Anakin’s Heroic Might. Don’t ask him to be nerfed just because you can’t put enough brain cells to stop your saber spamming and now are getting punished for it.

Someone must not play HvV. Here is a list of some of the problems the mode has:
1. People Exploiting the Target System
2. Insanely Powerful Saber Tracking
3. Insanely Powerful Stun Locks
4. Unreliable Blocking Mechanics (recent bug)
Shall I continue?

Or any other order you want as long as you start with passionate strike for blocking heroes, or whatever order for non blocking heroes
Its great that now we have a hero that no one needs to learn how to play or get good at to complete destroy other heroes
That's a pretty unnecessarily long post to say what every sane person already knows as fact: The target system in HvV sucks.

And Anakin is bugged. Yesterday I was killed through a wall by I don't know which Anakin's superpower while opening the door in Naboo.
This is very bad on both side, even on LS side to have him.
Between him and the brainless restricted event in fact this week-end you see mainly 1 third of 4 maps.
Congrats Devs dream team, proud of what you done
Well theres your problem. Hitting him and feeding him damage, and not expecting to get hurt in the process. Keep repeating it and thats on you.
Seriously....looooool
He is great for supporting your Team and killing „block-only“ players.
You feel really strong when playing him I like that.
I understand anakin taking very little damage while initiating the ability, but being able to do enough damage to instantly kill any hero is nonsense. Especially when I'm not engaging him. If I was hammering away at him and was right next time him then I'd understanding taking a considerable amount of damage. But when he is behind a ton of obstacles and not taking any damage from me, then he should be able to melt me like that.
Hahaha...that's funny man..I get it.
Sometimes you have to hold the kids hand when taking them to school.
