Community Transmission - Capital Supremacy Update

Versatti · March 26, 2019 7:41AM

Some good vehicle changes but no mention of the AT-AT, AT-RT and MTT off target crosshair firing?

Also the orbital bombardment needs to be visual like BF2015.

Looking forward to trying out CS.

thelasteverjedi · March 26, 2019 7:47AM

If my xbox is updating in the middle of the night, if I left the xbox turned on, will it find the update? Should I leave it on a specific screen so it can find the update easier?

thelasteverjedi · March 26, 2019 7:48AM

"Due to a late balancing change, the ability description texts for Rey's Insight and Darth Vader's Focused Rage abilities have not been updated with the latest changes. "

Stamina discount completely removed?

ChickenBoi2507 · March 26, 2019 8:04AM

what about new and better AI in Arcade

New_Roosterman · March 26, 2019 9:17AM

Update for PC is available. Has been since 17 minutes ago.

Wigclyne · March 26, 2019 10:22AM

Great for a day or two until 1 map over and over again becomes boring.

New_Roosterman · March 26, 2019 10:39AM

Anyone who has had the bug of their milestones being re-set, the update should have fixed it. I discovered earlier today I had the bug. After the update the bug is gone and all my milestones are back where they should be

Yo uh I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I can't connect to the game anymore? I'm on Xbox and there seem to be no available updates. The game fully loads up but when it gets to the home screen it tells me to press right stick to connect and when I do I get an error. The console works fine and it's connected to the internet. What's the deal?

I'd reset your console and internet and start again...hopefully it works.

Oh alright, thanks. Should I be looking out for an update already or?

I think your update should automatically start...I always load the game up on PS4 and within about 15 seconds an update icon comes up.

New_Roosterman · March 26, 2019 12:37PM

There are reports all over Reddit (such as this one - ) that this update has unlocked all heroes for free for all players that had not bought them.

Is this a bug or was this deliberate? Only asking as there are lots of aggrieved people posting about it.

Might be worthing starting a post on General Discussion page if this is true....

FabiDepp · March 26, 2019 1:52PM

we can't select the character. It seems there's some kind of a bug that let us no play

Auldhighlander · March 26, 2019 1:52PM

Yeah my ps4 keeps starting a match and dc's...i find the lack of connection disturbing!

Nathanf0054 · March 26, 2019 1:59PM

Yup I have tried 5 different times to start a match of this new game mode for ps4 and still can’t. The new lightsaber combat has a lot of bugs and glitches too. Someone let them know on Twitter.

ShVd0w9 · March 26, 2019 2:07PM

The ARC Trooper always had phase 2 armor... why does it have phase 1 on some maps?

Franchaud · March 26, 2019 2:20PM

meh. the mode feels like playing 2 different modes at once. even in elite squadron on psp there was a real on/off planet/capital transition. the cutscenes aren't really what i was hoping for. they're not immersing. overall it feels like: i'm just enjoying the capture mode everybody was practically begging for, only to be suddenly interrupted and forced into the same old linear GA gameplay again to push more buttons. what is it with this need to tell players what to do? if you'd just have made the ground map as interesting as the ATTE geonosis map, and added droidekas, you'd have nailed it, apart from the mode being unpolished. don't believe i'm going to play this mode again. maybe introduce a true capture mode, now that you have the basics. would make the arcade people happy too. on the surface i have plenty room to avoid pesky heroes. on the capital it's locked in a cage with anakin again.

Privata · March 26, 2019 2:25PM

Hope to see the OT and ST Era in this mode soon.

The Battle of Jakku with the ISD and Rebel ships falling from the skies like in 2015's map would be amazing
Anything with the FirstOrder is gold.

Cant wait, this in the OT would just be the best.

(Also Era Specific modes should be the default for all modes outside of HvV)

Jdawgie · March 26, 2019 3:36PM

Why is bobas only good ability card getting nerfed? He already has the worst health and weakest blaster in the game those are the things needing a patch. It was ridiculously hard to play him already in hvv now without a good damage ability hes unplayable. Anyone who enjoys playing as him would agree, and i urge a boost to blaster damage or health to make him playable again.

Arctic505 · March 26, 2019 4:57PM

This game mode is INSANE
Friendship ended with Galactic Assault, Capital Supremacy is my new best friend

Groge511 · March 26, 2019 6:31PM

Been trying to find a match for 15mins. Keep finding about 30 players then when we get close to 40 a bunch of folk give up and quit. Seriously never gonna find a match at this rate

Groge511 · March 26, 2019 6:35PM

This is rubbish. I'm away to play another game

Sniper_Elite5797 · March 26, 2019 7:38PM

Yet again no fix for the disruptors!! Stinky

harmless2_7567 · March 26, 2019 8:14PM

I wanted to play capital supremacy before I said anything about it. I have played it and can now say that capital supremacy is awesome! The new reinforcements are really cool as well. I can't wait to see what other maps come to capital supremacy. I also look forward to seeing the infiltrator reinforcement in the Original Trilogy and Sequel Trilogy eras. More maps for capital supremacy is a must, but it is going to be a while before the new map/mode get old. (At least for me.) I could write more, but the enemy team is capturing a command post.

undertakerhs · March 26, 2019 8:46PM

Why did you switch Anakins abilities around? It's just ****. I feel like a cripple trying to play him now. Button aren't where they are supposed to be.
How about assignable buttons or something? I like them in the order they were before. Now I feel like the game is just broke more. Complete throwoff in gaming.

Revenant2016 · March 26, 2019 8:53PM

Would you guys reconsider adding a few new game modes to arcade please? I do enjoy playing the traditional conquest modes on the older battlefront games, That be cool.

StarDaddy69 · March 26, 2019 9:11PM

Still no fix to anakin's retribution? Am i the only one who noticed or cares that this abitlity does like 500 damage and locks you in place for like 5 seconds... 😔 it's like kylo's freeze pre-nerf but almost cans any blaster hero in one go from full health. So dumb...

SQJACKIE · March 26, 2019 9:21PM

Where do I find Capital Supremacy on the menu, it doesn't always appear at first

SQJACKIE · March 26, 2019 9:23PM

Also, conection sucks on PS4, and it's really difficult to find a full match, always half the players and ping over 100 in Latibamerica

whitey096 · March 26, 2019 9:38PM

I think the new update is good but you always get the same old players constantly getting the hero or villians which is unfair to the players, if puts you off wanting to play anything else then HvsV. For example i’m currently in new mode & only able to get a hero once due to the same person who’s top of the score sheet always getting a hero.

Schwarzy · March 26, 2019 10:17PM

Sooo it won’t even let me join the new mode. I just stay in the character screen for 5 mins then get kicked out for inactivity. This game was the biggest disappointment, they haven’t gotten one update to work yet. 🤦‍♂️ Bye battlefront.

Schwarzy · March 26, 2019 10:21PM

GG.......oh wait I can’t even say that. HG. Horrible game. So much potential and the people making this just haven’t gotten one thing right

Commander_CT_135 · March 26, 2019 10:30PM

I’m confused, for some reason I have Obi-Wan, grievous and Dooku even though I didn’t buy them, why is that

Bamajay73 · March 26, 2019 11:17PM

Why will this not launch for me on PS4?

IdiotAlien · March 26, 2019 11:17PM

Dookus pajamas are dumb as hell and i wont buy them. Give us some better skins for Original Trilogy characters, ****

BTL-A4_Ace · March 26, 2019 11:26PM

I have to admit, I'm really impressed with this update. Lots of much needed bug fixes and gameplay adjustments - especially in regards to lightsaber combat - and the new content is pretty darn incredible.

Here's hoping more maps and eras will be added to Capital Supremacy, and the other factions will get the Infiltrator Class Special Unit.

Excellent work, DICE.

Fuckea420 · March 27, 2019 12:15AM

It's not letting me into the new game mode. This is dope af love this game

Kilaueakid · March 27, 2019 2:53AM

Wtf? No anakin buff? He pretty much ruined galactic asssault. Most my freinds quit the game because you cant win as dark side if an even moderatly skilled anakin is getting 120 player killstreaks. Most the dark side villians have no defense against his pull._..Reallyblows when you save up battle points the whole game, get bossk and then get instantly killed by a retribtion from a level 1 anakin. Best 2.._i mean three abilities of any hero._..Check. Unblockable saber ._.Cheak. Able to wipe out your whole sqaud with a click of a button..__ check

Jsierra3 · March 27, 2019 3:49AM

I wanna know why my 327th star corps appearances are gone, and why I have to buy them again. 😑👿

Jmasterjedi · March 27, 2019 5:10AM

You guys are doing an awesome job ! I am a lifelong Star Wars fan and I'm loving all the updates and attention you all are giving this game ! Bravo and THANK YOU!!!!!

ChronoB12345 · March 27, 2019 5:16AM

Hey so if all the heros were just given to players for free that didn't have them before then can the players that did buy them get refunded those credits, if the heros given away were intentionally.

I have finally gotten to about 200,000 for the first time as I bought just heros and don't buy the skins, I had to grind and drop $80 on Crystal's to get all the clone wars dlc skins I wanted for my troopers, the general kenobi skin, and I'm waiting for general Skywalker. Would love to get skins for other eras but just don't want to go into a grind wall like the one at the launch of this game I went through to get all the heros then. Got Lea the night before that update and blew all those credits to feel cheated last time and I would just like to know if this will become a regular occurrence or not. If it will then I'll just save for skins and not the actual hero.

RC2074 · March 27, 2019 5:38AM

You do not have any clue on how to make a great STAR WARS game that sure.

Majzar · March 27, 2019 11:27AM

How about more Tatooine boards. Maybe a Dune Sea battlefield sitting between cliff top Tusken Raider snipers, Old Ben's cave & the outside of Jabba's palace. Where bounty hunters & Vile criminals take pot shots at both squads. Give us a chance 2 light up some of our favorite & familiar scum from Jabba's. Maybe in the middle of the board, have Owen & Beru's still smoking bodies laying next 2 their home. Or the Sarlacc. See Jedi Academy for the Mos Eisley Spaceport.

How about Umbara, Ryloth, Mygeeton, Naboo plains & or swamp, Florum, Onderon & Christophsis. For Clone Wars era. & really! Why aren't Jango Fett, Asajj Ventress, Cad Bane & Windu on this game yet? Sorry but you should be paying me for this last one. The Emperor has 2 lightning casting hands, Hello? Please patch us a Y button Solution to switch to TWO Lightsabers. They should come right out of his sleeves & back in disguised when not attacking or blocking. & he should talk way more trash.

But to be truthful. U guys did great work on updates.
SCOUNDREL 00

Wigclyne · March 27, 2019 12:33PM

New mode stopped working last night. Loads up to fighter select then wont let me select anyone. You can stick this 1 map garbage where the sun dont shine.

Criticalofcrap · March 27, 2019 3:03PM

Yeah, new mode was really fun while it worked. Now it doesn't work, I get stuck in the player select screen an sthats it. So I switch country servers and it just kicks me out when I load into a game. I'm sure most have this problem. There is 0 justification for this happening. It's called someone dropped the ball on this one. Incompetents truly on display here. Good job.

Incoming Transmission!

This update has been a much anticipated one, but it’s just around the corner! The headliner of this update is the new game mode, Capital Supremacy, but that by no means is all that’s coming. Brand new reinforcements and lightsaber combat changes are also arriving in this update, along with a number of tweaks and fixes that can be found below.

The brand-new game mode comes to Star Wars Battlefront II in this update. Capital Supremacy has players face off against one another in a large-scale nonlinear battle. Both sides fight hard to take down their enemy’s capital ship while conquering the disputed planet.

Read all about Capital Supremacy, here.

Getting past enemy lines (with or without a squad) can be crucial to breaking their defences. The ARC Trooper and BX-series Droid Commando are exemplary at this. Both are lethal combatants with excellent battlefront awareness.

Learn everything about these two new Infiltrator reinforcements, here.

The lightsaber is a lethal tool that requires a tempered mind and skilled body to wield, not to mention prowess with the Force. With a lot of player feedback, we’ve updated lightsaber combat (including stamina changes) to provide an overall better player experience.

To learn about how this part of combat is changing, read up on it here.

NEW CONTENT FEATURES
Added new game mode called Capital Supremacy, playable on a brand new map on Geonosis (Pipeline Junction West).

Added new interior maps inside the Republic Attack Cruiser and the Separatist Dreadnought, as part of the Capital Supremacy game mode.

Added the ability to play against and alongside AI online, as part of the Capital Supremacy game mode.

Added a new Infiltrator Reinforcement class which includes the ARC Trooper and the Commando Droid as playable Characters.

A new appearance for Count Dooku, Exquisite Pajamas, is now available to unlock for Credits and Crystals.

Added Geonosis - Trippa Hive to Hero Showdown.

QUALITY OF LIFE
The look of the Emote Wheel on the Collection menu has been updated to be consistent with the in-game Emote Wheel.

With Capital Supremacy, we have adjusted the Battle Point costs to reflect the change in value that the new Reinforcements introduce.

HERO CHANGES

Note: We will continue to monitor hero balance for changes in future updates.

Improved Lightsaber combat in a variety of ways:
Removed staggering when a player attacks an enemy who is blocking.

A Hero can no longer attack when they have no stamina.

Removed the stamina costs associated with pressing and holding block.

After being hit by a Lightsaber, players will not be able to be staggered by a Lightsaber attack for 0.8 seconds.

Added stamina costs to Darth Maul's attacks.

Balanced Rey's Insight and Darth Vader's Focused Rage abilities. They now each give 50% reduced stamina costs when active.

Re-balanced damage from existing Lightsaber Heroes:
Increased Darth Maul's Lightsaber damage from 100 to 120 points. Attack from behind bonus damage was increased from 20 to 30 points.

Increased Darth Vader's Lightsaber damage from 120 to 130 points. Attack from behind bonus damage was increased from 20 to 30 points.

Increased Yoda's Lightsaber damage from 115 to 125 points. Attack from behind bonus damage was increased from 20 to 25 points.

Increased Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber damage from 100 to 120 points. Attack from behind bonus damage was increased from 20 to 30 points.

Increased Rey's Lightsaber damage from 110 to 120 points.

Fixed an issue that would allow certain Heroes and Troopers to still shoot or block during the falling or freezing animations.

Fixed an issue where Kylo Ren's Pull and Darth Maul's Choke Hold abilities would occasionally activate twice when an enemy is in the same place, as the last time the abilities were used.

Fixed several issues with abilities and weapons occasionally not properly outlining enemies. The improvements affect Lando Calrissian's X-8 Night Sniper, Bossk's Predator ability and Boba Fett's For the Hunt ability.

ANAKIN SKYWALKER
Improved the timing of Anakin's abilities, to allow for more timely attacks after an ability is performed.

Adjusted the button placement for Anakin's abilities to allow for more intuitive controls.

- Left trigger - Pull Dominance
- Middle trigger - Heroic Impact
- Right trigger - Passionate strike
Fixed an issue where Anakin would be unable to attack or cast abilities if he was stunned by an ability while "Retribution" was active.

Edited the description text of Anakin's Heroic Impact ability for clarity.

Edited the description text of Anakin's Pressure Star Card for clarity.

Fixed various clipping issues with Anakin's Victory Poses.

LUKE SKYWALKER

COUNT DOOKU

BOSSK
Fixed an issue where the Predator Resilience Star Card would grant more damage than stated on Epic rarity.

EMPEROR PALPATINE
Fixed an issue that would occasionally slow down a character's overall speed and animations when being affected by Emperor Palpatine's abilities.

Fixed an issue that would cause Lightsaber Heroes' blocking functionality to break if they blocked the Electrocute ability inside the Dark Aura ability range.

YODA
Fixed an issue where Yoda's blocking would lose its functionality after using the Presence ability right when a crowd control ability was used on him.

DARTH VADER
Fixed an issue where the Deflection Stamina Star Card would have no functionality on Epic rarity.

HAN SOLO
Fixed an issue where Han Solo's Shoulder Charge ability would not knock over the enemy if used in close-range.

GENERAL GRIEVOUS
Fixed an issue where General Grievous would no longer be able to block projectiles when using his Unrelenting Advance ability after previously holding the block button.

CHEWBACCA
Fixed an issue where the Multi-Shock Star Card would have no functionality on Epic rarity.

CAPTAIN PHASMA
Fixed a visual clipping issue visible while performing Captain Phasma's Not Easy emote.

LANDO CALRISSIAN

Fixed an issue that would show character outlines and username tags even through Lando's Smoke Grenade.

KYLO REN
Fixed an issue where a combination of Kylo Ren's Freeze and Pull ability would cause the blocking functionality of other Lightsaber Heroes to break.

GAME MODE AND MAP CHANGES

GALACTIC ASSAULT
Fixed an issue that would occasionally cause players to be automatically kicked out of Galactic Assault matchmaking if they were waiting in the pre-round for more than 5 minutes.

STRIKE

VEHICLE CHANGES
Fixed an issue where the AT-ST, AAT, and STAP Speeder would not receive damage from basic Lightsaber attacks.

Fixed an issue where the crosshair of the AT-RT would not align with the fired projectile.

Improved the functionality of the horizon level meter on the AT-TE's Ion Charge crosshair.

Polished VFX when using the LAAT Ray weapon

CHANGES TO CLASSES AND SPECIAL UNITS
Fixed several issues with abilities and weapons occasionally not properly outlining enemies. The improvements affect the Assault's Scan Dart and CR-2 Night Vision Scope, the Heavy's FWMB-10K Night Vision Scope, the Officer's SE-44C Night Vision Scope and the Specialist's Thermal Binoculars.

Fixed an issue where the user would occasionally not spawn with the correct appearance when rapidly changing from one Class to another.

Fixed an issue where the names of certain emotes would not fit accurately in the allocated space of the Emote Wheel.

Fixed an issue where players could retrigger an emote quickly at the end of an emote animation.

Improved readability of player names in the chat menu against certain backgrounds.

Fixed an issue where idle-kick rules wouldn't work if a player joins a game through the social hub while a match is in progress.

Fixed an issue where unlocking certain emotes would trigger an error and the player would have to reboot the title to access the emote.

Updated the User Agreement that is present in-game.

Fixed an issue where Lightsaber audio would be heard while in the Customize Star Cards menu for Lightsaber Heroes.

Fixed an issue where some heroes would be performing their Frontend menu animation when being selected on the spawn screen.

KNOWN ISSUES

Thank you for fixing the at rt aim

JonJon97 · March 27, 2019 5:03PM

The new game mode needs better credit pay out ill place first or second on a 45 minute game and only get 5-600 credits which is about how much you get for a 15 minute hvv match

Faded_Goku · March 27, 2019 6:41PM
