Community Transmission - Capital Supremacy

gazzy_burns · March 22, 2019 3:54PM

It sounds like a lot of fun, the AI sounds good, a new Geonosis and new ship interiors sounds fun.

I like the limit on the heroes...we want era specific for this.

I am gutted we can't get in starfighters and fly up to the ship. That freedom is really really fun.

However, if its a game that can keep on turning in terms of back on surface, back in ship, etc, it could be a lot of fun.

New reinforcements also sound great.

Aviaator_LHRyt · March 22, 2019 3:57PM

When will it be out again?

Darthdougy · March 22, 2019 3:57PM

Excited about the addition...reminds me a bit of the SWTOR PVP content.

Draxin · March 22, 2019 3:58PM

Why didn't you just develop a regular mode of conquest instead of hashing in a lame Battle Station clone? Save the concept for EABF3 and DO IT RIGHT! We can't even pilot starfighters apparently from what Ben said so WHAT'S THE BLOODY POINT OF THE CAPITAL SHIPS IF YOU'RE STILL FIGHTING ON A SOLID SURFACE!?!? How in the hell can you miss an opportunity like that? If you needed more resources for the rest of the mode to actually make any sort of sense then do a CONQUEST gamemode instead of copying 2015's formula. You play this mode off as something brand new and creative BUT IT WAS ALREADY DONE IN 2015!? WHAT!? To everyone leaving goodbye posts I'll come with ya, keep the blast door open please.

iReiGNxx · March 22, 2019 3:59PM

Gotta say, this sounds like a great change of pace from the current modes in the game. Only thing that is underwhelming is that there doesn't seem to be more than one map for this even though it was originally stated to have the other maps reworked for it. But I guess that is still on it's way. I am fine with Clone Wars being the signature era of this game since the first one was only OT, but I'm definitely looking forward to the other eras' maps being added once you guys create interiors for the other capital ships.

Omniscient · March 22, 2019 4:00PM

Off the top of my head, questions that should have already been answered in this CT:

1. When an opposing team gets enough ground tickets to attack my Capital ship, will I be automagically whisked away to board for defense or will I also have to book it to catch my Uber (or, I guess Lyft sounds more appropriate)?

2. If the Capital ship attackers do not successfully destroy the ship, does it reset when we’re “somehow” brought back to the surface, or will it maintain its current destructive state?

3. If you miss the shuttle for the attack/defense, do you sit in a cantina waiting for the outcome or do you continue fighting on the ground for more tickets?

4. How many “The DS Heroes stand no chance against the LS Heroes in this mode” threads are you going to allow?

5. Is there an implementation in place to prevent a never-ending match?

Arcanewarrior · March 22, 2019 4:04PM

I was so exited and happy untill i read that its 20vs20 with ai making up the teams to 32. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING?
Screw AI you guys promised a BIGGER non linear game mode this isnt bigger who the hell wants to play against AI in a multiplayer mode fgs!!!
First anakin with lazy cheap 360 abilites ruining GA (amongst other things,) and now you bring out a game mode after 10 months or so with 1 map and AI packing out the teams??
Battlefeild has 64 player conquest yet we get this garbage are you for real devs???? Battlefront CREATED CONQUEST and you give us a half [removed] version?
I love the work put into the detail and im sure everything will LOOK beautiful but why do you consistently keep making bad lazy design choices??

Ive lasted the longest out of all my friends but i think im finally done i will probably try it just because how much ive invested in this game already but i cant see this being great and will get stale very fast with 1 map.

Emperor_Arcadius · March 22, 2019 4:04PM

Aw Man, this sounds awesome. So awesome, in fact that I'm going to livestream it all night when it comes out @James_C_Drone on Twitch AND YouTube!

ZephanUnbound · March 22, 2019 4:05PM

I kept my expectations low, and they were matched exactly.

1 map only, no pilotable troop transports

Okay, I have some doubts about the new game mode but I will wait for it to come out and test it for myself.

BUT WAIT!!!!!! Where is the CT of the lightsaber? Please please!! don't tell that will be delayed....
Do not make me wait a month for this please, the lightsaber combat is one of the most important mechanics of the game, and you guys, for some reason take too long for improve this.

Definitely if you delay this one month longer it may be because of a change in the "architecture" of the saber system because it would not make sense to extend this anymore, Hopefully not....

Where's that lightsaber CT indeed.

they announced already that the lightsabr CT is coming closer to the 26th so that we could see the new mode CT first.

generaltags · March 22, 2019 4:07PM

Sounds like a solid gamemode with nothing AMAZING about it. Era locked heroes is a good idea for this specifically. I think the spread out gamemode and AI is a good idea though. We need new maps and more eras to keep us interested though! Just keep the maps coming and this should be fine.

Giglefreakz · March 22, 2019 4:08PM

General_Trex wrote: »

Great. So 1 map only. You couldn't give us at least 2 to start with? Oh no of course not, we gotta space those out, give you one per month (if that). Sigh.

At least you got the era specific heroes down.

Technically the mode has 3 maps. New planet-side Geonosis, Venator interior and Providence interior.

downcookoo · March 22, 2019 4:08PM

I'm super excited! Thank you Dice. Will the command post part of this mode ever be available in arcade?

willywonka7 · March 22, 2019 4:09PM

Oh wait it's only for one map with limited heroes and no mention of starfighters???????????

No more game modes after this just more maps for all the current game modes!

I hope that there are still going to be star fighters in this game mode.

A_C0NFU53D_SH03 · March 22, 2019 4:10PM

Sounds good but we need a rebel era version too

An arcade gamemode based on conquest was announced to be in development at one point, but Some_Info, a reliable Battlefront 2 leaker, said that it is on-hold because DICE doesn't have enough staff to finish it.

They need more troops...

KotasMilitia · March 22, 2019 4:18PM

I'm disappointed in only 1 map being available, but really what did everyone expect? I will probably come back to play this mode, but one map will probably get boring extremely quick. The skeptic in me wonders if adding the AI to make it 32 v 32 is a reflection of the current server state, meaning after the first couple months of the mode release it would have been extremely hard to find a full game of 64 players. I hope not, but I'd be lying if that thought didn't cross my mind.

I guess I'm just honestly tired of the overall attitude associated with this game. Content is announced, people start hoping for more. Content is delayed and strung out, people are frustrated. Content is released with less than fans wanted, people are even more upset. Rinse and repeat. Time for me to break from the insanity cycle.

The negativity surrounding this game (which is justified in certain areas) is really not healthy.

although this could be fun, just from reading it it does not seem overwhelming yet, as the long wait and "hints" have suggested unfortunately

Only one map, no free decision to switch between ground and ships, no star fighters included, AI instead of opening up to 32 vs 32 real players, combat in the ships is limited to - again - planting something that is a mechanic heavily used in straighter assault...

I really hope it is more fun playing than reading

__
Edit:
- no pictures?
- any more maps in the works?
- any more maps planned?
- any more era planned?

The good thing about AI is that they can use it to put this mode in the Arcade

The issue with that is, if you check the Skirmish/Offline Content Thread, that Charlemagne recently stated stat it is a) not a priority and that they are b) not actively working on it soooooooooooooooo no happiness there

Nope, no starfighters at all. @F8RGE confirmed that.

mandalorj · March 22, 2019 4:25PM

Alright, let's give it a shot. It sounds like the most interesting update to Battlefront yet. From the the sound of things this mode seems like it will be super fun with the OT if the heroes stay era locked and reduced in number like they are here.

OhanDaGreast · March 22, 2019 4:25PM

No. Do not make this a clone wars only game mode. This isn't a clone wars only game, and people want original and sequel trilogy content, too. I Love the gamemode itself, though. It's excaclty what I was hoping for. And the new reinforcments seem cool, too. Just the only thing I ask is that you put an even number of prequel, original, and sequel maps into this gamemode. I also like the idea of only those heroes. Just please start focusing on adding mapsfrom original and sequels. I belive starkiller base and Endor would be great for this game mode. And also add new Infiltrator reinforcments for the rebellion, empire, Resistance, and first order. I would say bothan spies for rebellion, royal guards for Empire, Poilets for the resistance, and special order tie Poilets for the first order.you also already have models for the rebel capital ship and first order capital ship. Please make this happen dice.

Skyguy501 · March 22, 2019 4:26PM

Ah, here we go again. The crybabies are crying for their bottles. And rage quitting?! 🤣 While I also believe this mode should have been a true 32v32 mode, I’ll take it for what it is. Are any of y’all game developers? Have you ever made a game that has at least one large-scale mode, with the technology we now possess to do so? We aren’t using the same cheap-looking, half animation systems that games such as Battlefront 1 (2004), Battlefront II (2005) and loooaads of other games from the turn of the century up until 2008-10. We have games that have stunning, surreal, beautiful animation designs and detailed textures! Everything from weapons to articles of clothing, from environments to visual effects.... A lot of time, money and effort goes into a single map, especially a map or mode of this scale. You’ve got a lot to work with, here! Now.... I realize that the time to accomplish all this would be completed faster if there is a full-blown development team that had specific divisions to work on different areas of a game mode. But, don’t forget.... ever since people abandoned the game at the start of release, BFII’s development team has had to be shifted over to other projects that would bring the company money. We gave them every right to believe the game would NEVER make a comeback! We don’t even deserve all the effort DICE is putting in to make the game survive. We owe it all to them. So quit complaining. Quit crying until you get what your spoiled heart desires. If the community calmly and respectfully petition for DICE to include more maps and eras in this mode, chances are in favor of them hearing our voice. Who knows? They may already be planning other maps to add. We will just have to patiently wait and see....

(Terribly sorry for the wrong ramble/rant. But this community seriously needs to shape up.)

gazzy_burns · March 22, 2019 4:27PM

We need a video!

BucksawBoushh · March 22, 2019 4:27PM

LOLZ. They’re messing with us! It can’t be just ONE map from ONE era that advertises all 3. They’re joking.

...Right?

Well... basically we deserve a game that fits our needs, especially since EA is currently the only supplier for Star Wars games...

You can not expect the community to accept a game of large scale which's progress system is bound to micro transactions and characters behind paywalls. No matter how big the studio is...

Do not get me wrong, I want this game to succeed, but pointing out, that we do no deserve the work they put into it? I can not agreee with this statement, since they (EA or DICE or both) messed up the game initially completely. Trying to fix and rescue it is basically the only thing they can do if they want to "repair" their image.

DarthCapa2 · March 22, 2019 4:39PM

Everything sound great except the fact that it will be available only on one map.

Sound great the 32 vs 32 number, the era locked heroes and the capture points!

clueisclueless · March 22, 2019 4:48PM

Who else is excited to watch a cutscene and a black screen as we get teleported to and from capital ships 10 times a round. It was supposed to be a non-linear game mode... No star fighters is pretty depressing, we don’t have to take down the opposing teams shields or infiltrate their ship, they just let us fly a transport right into their capital ship. It’s like they both agreed “I won’t send any fighters if you don’t” “ok”

RC2074 · March 22, 2019 4:51PM

I wonder if there will be a new planet map from where one starts

AbyssWatch3r · March 22, 2019 4:52PM

Great Anakin and Yoda vs. 6 other dead weight Heroes. I hope those Hero buffs are coming in soon, including that block for darth maul otherwise this is going to be another bullet point on the list for why era locked is such a stupid idea.

Glad you made it 32v32 at least.

Adricmb · March 22, 2019 4:53PM

Kind of a bittersweet taste with this CT.

The good: The new mode sounds like a fusión between Conquets and Battlefield's Frontt Lines mode, which sounds pretty awesome tbh. Memes appart, I look forward to this, and definitely sounds like a good experience and what could be a great boost for this game. Having a whole new Geonosis map for this gamemode sounds actually interesting.

The bad: Just 1 map… Seriously, one year for this point, the game lacks content in almost every single thing you can think of, especially maps, and now that we have the chance to add new stuff, we just not even get new locations but not even the ones that were already in the game, like Naboo (Naboo fields sound like the perfect place for this if you want an easier map to make) or Kamino. Not having a word about future maps for this gamemode (not even in a couple of months in sight) is worrying, to say the least. I said up there that this gamemode has the potential to be a great boost for this game, but also has the potential to be the final bullet it needs to die if nothing changes. And it's a game that has A LOT of potential to keep going on for years.

The ugly: Not good, not bad, but the lack of starfighters don't sound absolutely right to me, I would like to keep them in the game.

ArcTrooperBen · March 22, 2019 4:55PM

I’m hoping the battles on the capital ships will make Grevious closer to Anakins match. At least for this mode. Not in ability but utility, he’ll do very well in the confined spaces of hallways and be able to use the unrelenting assault or whatever his helicopter move is better. At least I’m hoping this will be the case

Pinco097 · March 22, 2019 4:58PM

All good but…. 1 map?? This will let gamemode die after a few weeks...

AmStraightBut50Is50 · March 22, 2019 5:03PM

Almost a year of waiting btw bois.

Triple A dev team btw bois.

1 map and era btw bois.

You had one job Dice... one job. All you had to do was remake Star Wars Battlefront II's (2005) conquest mode and you still screwed it up.. amazing. (hell, you may as well have just remade the entire game and it still would've been better than the tripe you made) You guys haven't got a chance in hell of a 3rd Battlefront game succeeding if you keep this pace up because you definitely ain't getting this man's money again, lmao. In fact, i hope EA is stupid enough to force you guys to make a 3rd game so it flops hard and they put you out of business. Worst purchase I've ever made was investing money into this garbage.

Now if you'll excuse me, i'm off to play a lesser known gem with the same title. Oh, not to mention it has a better large-scale game mode which you guys haven't partly ripped off in any way shape or form.

RuthlessSaint91 · March 22, 2019 5:10PM

This a good step in the right directio.n I do however feel like the rebels need someone instead of the wookie. Not removing it but adding a 3rd one because the Death Trooper is way more powerful. Let's see how this new wave of reinforcements play

please dear god no more heroes the ones we have need to be balanced out first GA is a freaking mess and this new game mode will be as well.

fatfreeham · March 22, 2019 5:13PM

For future maps with this mode, please consider alternative events for stages the way GA currently works.

I am not a fan of a rush to the transport stage. Please consider a Starfighter only stage like the transport destroying mode in 2015 and in current SA. Transport ai, while Starfighters attack and defend transports.

While I understand this stage a device to probably limit the attacker tickets, I think you could get the same effect with Starfighters. I will understand if this is not possible due to some console limitations.

If that's not possible I would love a space version of this mode. I don't see why similar capture points couldn't be available with Starfighters but the final stage is on foot inside the cap ships. Then again, my favorite mode so far between this game and 2015 is battle station.

Just my two cents.

Edit: forgot to say that I am excited for this mode and looking forward to playing it as described!

JackTHorn · March 22, 2019 5:17PM

Sounds better than I expected! I love the accurate heroes, and the flexibility of the game play sounds great. Im curious how many heroes, but it might not matter as spread out as it seems.

There will need to be additional maps added soon, and ideally additional eras as well. Otherwise you'll end up with the same problem as Extraction: great mode, but desperately in need of a decent number of maps or it gets boring.

Looking forward to playing it!

SWymsa · March 22, 2019 5:28PM

Think I'll reserve judgement until I've played it, however there are already several concerns.

I might suggest that people check out the Arma 3 StarWars mod should this go pear shaped.

Empire_TW · March 22, 2019 5:42PM

Wow...

Honest to Christ even I'm disappointed and my expectations were literally NOTHING.

"Along side the announcement of more content from the Clone Wars coming to Star Wars™ Battlefront II at EA Play 2018 was the confirmation that a new, large scale game mode would also be arriving."

Not exactly a good idea to remind people that this was announced almost a year ago when this is all it is.

People wanted a nonlinear more open experience so this whole "you will go to the capital ship" "you will return to the surface" all seem to go against that, what was wrong with just doing the capital post thing?

AI troops? Who plays an ONLINE PVP MULTIPLAYER GAME to play against AI?

The capital ships sound like close quarter areas full of explosive spam... the opposite of what people wanted.

"Capital Supremacy will be a Clone Wars experience, meaning all the heroes and reinforcements available will be those from that era. This is the perfect opportunity to take control of our two new reinforcements, the dual wielding ARC Trooper and the vibrosword wielding BX-series Commando Droid."

This pretty much confirms that this Dev team is catering to the echo chamber reddit, this game is advertised as all eras and fans of all wanted a new big mode and now you go and make it one? Odds are they are the only ones who would actually find this utter waste of time and resources acceptable.

Nice to see not all heroes are available and the ones that are are mostly the ones not good for GA, Anakin+Yoda=Auto win for the lightside, wallhacking stunning arc troopers will be farming Mauls and Dookus for days.

"We can’t wait for Capital Supremacy to launch and are currently counting down the days until March 26th. We’ll see you onboard your capital ship."

Well, not me because there is literally 0 reason to play this mode.

PapaLima84 · March 22, 2019 5:44PM

The new game mode sounds amazing! I was wondering when we will get a new roadmap? @F8RGE

wgoBigIsland · March 22, 2019 5:45PM

One map? It may be pretty cool for a little while, but this will get old in just days.... And this is what we have been waiting for? Through the delays and all the positive hype from you guys that this would be worth the wait... What a MASSIVE disappointment.

But yeah, we need at LEAST 5 maps to play on so hopefully that will be happening next month, which brings me to my next complaint lol: being drip fed a little new content once a month. The drag continues.... Stop doing this!

Positive note, I do appreciate the little that we got. Thanks for giving us at least a little something new

Interstallion · March 22, 2019 5:46PM

This idea is great. Hopefully this will be available in Arcade with the mode having A.I. Maybe on Arcade they could raise the amount of A.I that are on the battlefront. Can't wait to play it though.

CommanderThorn88 · March 22, 2019 5:47PM

This mode sounds like a fine addition to the collection

I'm not sure why everyone is complaining already about one map. They basically already stated a long time ago that it would only be one map at first. I'm sure they're currently making additional maps for planets we have currently, and hopefully making some new planet maps as well (PLEASE GIVE US UMBARA, FELUCIA, CORUSCANT).

I'm looking forward to seeing the new reinforcements in action as well.

Overall this will be a great addition to the game from the sound of it.

Also, for those of you complaining about the AI troops....I personally have no problem with them as they can act as good decoys for real enemy players to focus on while I have a chance to take them out instead. May end up keeping yourself alive for longer this way. Let's also see how it plays out before complaining about it. You may end up not minding/enjoying having some AI troops. We'll have to wait and see.

ACEJD87 · March 22, 2019 5:49PM

Only one map a big bummer. Also no star fighters? Also is there going to be a arcade version? I am not a big fan of PvP due to not having a lot of time to play this game. And I don't like having to quit mid game on my team mates.
